PART I

ITEM 1.
BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

Dot VN, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“Dot VN,” the “Company,” “we,” or “us”), is a leading technology company deploying cutting edge infrastructure solutions and innovative online services and solutions focused on the Vietnamese and South East Asian markets.  Dot VN provides first class internet related services including domain name registration, web hosting and internet advertising through its management of the INFO.VN platform and web portal.  Dot VN is also focused on commercializing cutting edge infrastructure technology in the South East Asian region.  Dot VN has signed agreements with industry leaders in the data center and wireless sectors to develop a market for their products in the region.

Dot VN’s vision is to become the preferred provider of all technology, online marketing and communication solutions to individuals and businesses in Vietnam by offering the industry’s most comprehensive suite of services and the highest levels of customer care and support.  We seek to enhance and enrich the online user experience in Vietnam and the South East Asian region by leveraging the best ideas and technology available, scaled and localized for the market.  To our clients, we provide turn-key solutions for establishing, maintaining and marketing their online identity through domain name registration, online advertising and IT solutions.  To our in country partners, we represent a trusted source of ideas, technology and solutions.

We generate revenues by providing online and IT related services to companies and individuals in Vietnam and world-wide.  Our offerings to users currently fall into four categories: domain registration, online services through our INFO.VN portal, micro-modular data centers (“MMDC”s), and wireless virtual fiber.  Our domain name registration has expanded from .vn to allow us to offer over 170 domain extensions including .com, .net, .org, as well as .ca, .us, .de and .jp.  We also assist our clients by providing a variety of value added services including hosting, SSL certificates and consulting services designed to maximize their internet exposure and drive their ability to build a business online.

Dot VN is also in the process of commercializing and expanding its one of a kind online portal INFO.VN.  INFO.VN provides a landing page for all incoming traffic from non-existent domains and creates a central hub which provides users with the latest news and information about Vietnam.  In the near to mid term, we plan to launch a variety of additional services including, social networks, online advertising, and listing based services.  INFO.VN will feature a variety of free and fee based premium services designed to augment and deepen the Vietnamese Internet experience.  We are also developing an Application Program Interface (“API”) designed to allow the synergistic integration of leading content providers and online service providers with the INFO.VN platform thereby creating a online ecosystem which highlights and promotes the very best that the Vietnamese Internet has to offer.

Dot VN also offers Elliptical Mobile Solutions’ (“EMS”) cutting edge MMDC technology.  MMDCs are rack level solutions designed to provide the highest level of security and environmental protections while drastically reducing energy and maintenance costs by up to 50%.  We currently offer all three models of EMS’ MMDCs in Vietnam and Asia.  Further, we have mid-term to long term plans on utilizing it as the basis for our own Internet data centers to serve the East Asian region.

We are also proud to provide E-Band Communications Corporations’ (“E-Band”) industry leading virtual fiber solution.  E-Band is a leading provider of point to point backhaul solutions and serves as an integral component of large scale deployments for companies such as Clearwire.  We anticipate that E-Band’s technology will be a perfect fit for the growing telecommunications demands in Vietnam and the region.

PRODUCT OFFERINGS

Our offerings to end users currently fall into four categories: Domain Name Registrations, Online Services, Micro-Modular Data Centers, and Wireless Virtual Fiber.

Domain Name Registration

Registering a domain name is the first step in establishing an online presence.  A domain name, such as dot.vn, represents a unique Internet Protocol, or IP, address that serves as an identifier for a computer or device on the Internet.  Most domain names include the domain suffix of either a generic top level domain (“gTLD”), or a country code top level domain (“ccTLD”).  gTLDs include domain suffixes such as .com, .net and .org, while ccTLDs include domain suffixes such as .vn, .ca and .us.

Customers typically purchase from Dot VN, the Registrar, the right to utilize specific domain names for periods of one to ten years, with full payment due at the time of purchase.  Registrars, in turn, pay fees to the Vietnamese government or applicable regulatory body for each domain name registered, and then handles ongoing billing, customer service and technical management related to the domain name.  Currently, Dot VN is the only registrar authorized by Vietnam Internet Network Information Center (“VNNIC”), the government agency which regulates the Internet in Vietnam, to approve and register, without VNNIC participation, Vietnamese domain names and we are the only registrar authorized to process all third level registrations online.  Dot VN is working with partners to develop an Application Program Interface (“API”) to expand its resellers’ access from over 190 to an anticipated network of over an estimated 1400 resellers and sub-resellers.  Our Domain Name Registrations offerings have grown to include over 170 domain names including most major gTLDs and ccTLDs.  Each registration is an entry point for additional Dot VN services and we actively manage our customer relationships to encourage top of mind recognition.

Additionally, we have focused on expanding our reseller network both in Vietnam and internationally.  To that end, we have developed a strategic relationship with Key Systems GmbH with the goal of offering our registration services to its reseller network of over 1400 resellers.  We expect that this will result in wider adoption of the Vietnamese ccTLD and reduce our long term operation costs by transitioning to a reseller driven model in contrast to a direct sales model.

Online Services

INFO.VN

We are currently developing a first of its kind web platform named INFO.VN intended to create a central hub for all the best content the Vietnamese Internet has to offer.  In cooperation with the VNNIC, we have created a portal intended to be a one stop site for everything from news to financial information to cutting edge online services.  INFO.VN is intended to simplify the use of the internet while increasing user engagement.  INFO.VN will also serve as a platform through which we will launch a variety of new online services and web properties.

Current Offerings

INFO.VN currently offers the latest Vietnamese news in English and Vietnamese.  Our goal is to create the premiere destination site for everything Vietnam in a format that is easy to access, easy to remember and easy to find.  We currently offer a wide variety of articles on everything from breaking news, financial updates, sports scores and weather forecasts.  We also have the ability to provide advertising space to clients who wish to drive awareness and recognition of their products and services on one of the most visible web sites in Vietnam.

Services in Development

Our upcoming online properties will include several of the most innovative information and content destinations on the Internet.  We plan on generating revenue from, advertising, premium value added services such as additional space or content, and sponsored listings.

Business Listings

Dot VN is currently developing a business listing and directory service which provides users with relevant decision driving information on all the products and services they are looking for.  To our advertisers, we will provide the ideal platform to highlight their unique value and quality to a huge cross section of the potential clients both in Vietnam and Worldwide.  Our standard features include:

For an additional fee, advertisers can add a variety of additional features to enhance their entry in INFO.VN’s business directory.  Dot VN will continue to innovate in this area with the goal of creating the trusted source of information which guides consumer and business purchasing decisions.

Financial Press Releases

We are in the process of developing a press release service that will allow our clients to provide their shareholders and the wider investment community the latest information and updates.  We plan on both developing our reach through our INFO.VN portal as well as create reciprocal agreements with other news outlets to syndicate the information on their media properties.

Internet Data Centers Based on Micro-Modular Data Center Technology

An Internet data center is a facility used to house mission critical computer systems and associated components.  It generally includes environmental controls (air conditioning, fire suppression, etc.), redundant/backup power supplies, redundant Internet connections and high security.  As the name implies, an Internet data center is usually maintained by a third party collocation site or an individual organization for the purpose of handling the data necessary for its operations.  A bank, for example, may have an Internet data center where all its customers' account information is maintained and transactions involving this data are carried out.  In the United States, practically every company that is mid-sized or larger has some kind of Internet data center, and the larger companies often have multiple centers.  Most large cities have many purpose-built Internet data center buildings in secure locations close to telecommunications services.  Most collocation centers and Internet peering points are located in these kinds of facilities.

Communications in Internet data centers today are most often based on networks running the IP protocol suite.  Internet data centers contain a set of routers and switches that transport traffic between the servers and to the outside world.  Redundancy is sometimes provided by getting the network connections from multiple vendors.

Some of the servers at the Internet data center are used for running the basic Internet and intranet services needed by internal users in the organization: email servers, proxy servers, and DNS servers.  Network security elements are also usually deployed: firewalls, VPN gateways, Intrusion detection systems, etc.  Also common are monitoring systems for the network and some of the applications.

In 1995, The Uptime Institute® developed a standardized system for “rating” Internet data centers, based on tier classifications.  There are 4 classifications, which are based on the design attributes of the center, which attributes directly affect amount of time the system is up and running.  Tier I is the least sophisticated (with the most downtime), and Tier IV is the most sophisticated (with the least downtime).

Under Uptime Institute® standards, the annual amount of an Internet data center’s “downtime” for each tier is approximately as follows:
 
Tier I
28.8 hours/year
   
Tier II
22.0 hours/year
   
Tier III
1.6 hours/year
   
Tier IV
0.8 hours/year

Vietnam’s economic growth and especially the increase in Internet usage is explosive and we believe that in order to continue this growth highly, redundant and energy efficient Internet data centers need to be developed.  In fact, both the lack and high cost of electricity necessitates the development of more efficient and cost effective Internet data centers, thus presenting a unique marketing opportunity.

Currently, we are in the process of testing and commercializing Elliptical Mobile Solutions (“EMS”) MMDC.  EMS MMDC product offerings integrate Tier III, and in some cases Tier IV, standard redundant infrastructure into a cost effective and energy efficient secure rack.  The EMS MMDC product line is comprised of three unique units:

 
·
The EMS R.A.S.E.R. provides 12KW and up to 16KW of closed loop cooling and safe storage for sensitive electronic equipment.  It also protects that equipment from harsh vibration and shock sustained in a mobile or adverse situation.  The R.A.S.E.R. also offers an optional Mission Critical Venting System.

 
·
The EMS C³-S.P.E.A.R. provides 2.5KW and up to 6KW of Closed Loop Cooling on a self-propelled rack enclosure.  It protects standard rack mounted equipment from vibration and shock sustained in a mobile environment.  The vibration-isolated mobile rack creates a stable platform in which a user may move electronic equipment while it is mounted in the rack.

 
·
The EMS S.P.E.A.R. is a 22U mobile, hardened, self-contained Micro-Modular Data Center.  The unit is designed for agile, high-density applications where mobility, shielding, environmental protection, and disaster tolerance are priorities.

When compared to the cost for construction, maintenance and support of a traditional Internet data center, the MMDC platform offers significant cost savings.  The EMS product line reduces power consumption by up to 50 percent, floor space by up to 75 percent and significantly reduces the capital expenditures associated with building an Internet data center.  Generally, traditional Internet data center development requires that the majority of the infrastructure associated with the construction of an Internet data center must be built out upfront and further, the infrastructure must be able to support not only current needs but also future needs as well.  This “future needs” requirement makes the capital cost of a traditional Internet data center incredibly high.  The EMS product line makes scalable “pay as you go” infrastructure possible which makes initial construction and subsequent growth cost effective, manageable and quick.

We believe that the EMS technology is uniquely suited to emerging markets such as Vietnam, where both electricity and infrastructure are still in development resulting in utilities that are both scarce and carry a high cost.  As IT growth and demand in Vietnam continues to outpace electrical capacity and infrastructure development, scalable and energy efficient solutions must come into play.  We are jointly testing the equipment in Vietnam with the Vietnam Internet Network Information Center to certify and benchmark the utility of this technology in Vietnam.  We are also actively developing our reseller channels in Vietnam to drive sales and awareness of the benefits of EMS MMDC technology.

Our strategy is to build a series of Internet data centers based on the EMS MMDC platform, in Hanoi, Danang City and Ho Chi Minh City, providing our customers with highly specialized Internet applications and management services from each Internet data center, while capturing the benefits of centralized infrastructure and staffing and massive utility savings.  Given the relatively nascent nature of business technology solutions in Vietnam, Dot VN will leverage its domain registration services to offer customers additional data center services

Wireless Virtual Fiber

We believe there will be strong demand for Broadband technologies in Vietnam as dial-up subscribers migrate to broadband connectivity and people with no Internet access become broadband subscribers.  We also believe that in addition to growing broadband demand, the rapid growth of mobile email products, as well as sales of laptop and ultra-portable computers, will increasingly favor Internet access that provides for portability or mobility.  Because of the lack of infrastructure in many areas outside of the larger cities, we believe consumers increasingly will look for more efficient and effective ways to access the Internet, and especially wireless broadband, both due to its efficiency and necessity.

Through its strategic partnership with E-Band Communications Corporation (“E-Band”), a leading provider of Virtual Fiber (wireless) technology, we are looking to deploy this technology in Vietnam, which we believe will revolutionize the wireless sector in Vietnam.  Virtual Fiber technology delivers 1.25Gbps and higher full duplex wireless bandwidth over distances of several miles and can be used to provide solutions for interconnection and backhaul of (i) 4G; (ii) WiMAX, mobile networks; (iii) distributed antenna systems (“DAS”) and remote radio heads (“RRH”); (iv) in addition to the traditional Gigabit Ethernet (“GigE”) access; (v) enterprise IP networks, last mile access, fiber backup, redundancy, and network extension applications.

We are the sole distributor of the E-Band Virtual Fiber links in Vietnam and we also have the right to distribute E-Band’s Virtual Fiber links in Cambodia, Laos and Thailand.  We anticipate several potential applications of Virtual Fiber technology including:

 
·
Metropolitan Wireless Fiber Rings;

 
·
Building-to-Building Broadband Connectivity;

 
·
LAN Extensions;

 
·
Telecommunication Extensions and Splices;

 
·
Network Redundancy;

 
·
Video Conferencing/Video Surveillance;

 
·
Last Mile Access;

 
·
Disaster Recovery;

 
·
Internet, Television, Telephone Service;

 
·
Mobile Cellular/Wireless Backhaul.

We have conducted extensive and successful tests of the E-Link in Vietnam including tests in Northern Region (Hanoi), Central Region (Danang City) and Southern/Mekong Region (Tien Giang) and we expect that the E-Link will be an ideal solution for most telecommunication and internet related connectivity challenges in Vietnam.  We are actively developing our reseller network for this product by focusing on systems integrators and equipment providers with an existing telecommunications client list and expect to see initials sales in the near term.

OPERATIONAL STRATEGY

Our current operational strategy involves the implementation of a four-component plan that includes (i) the development and implementation of an Application Program Interface (“API”) to expand our reseller network; (ii) the implementation and commercialization of our INFO.VN portal and the launch of various related online products and services; (iii) the construction of an Internet data center located in Danang City, Vietnam and other major cities in Vietnam; and (iv) commercialization of the virtual fiber equipment, a wireless point-to-point layer one solution and the EMS MMDC solution. The plan provides revenue-generating opportunities throughout the development process, and leads to a complete operational demonstration of the technology.

The plan includes:

PHASE I: CY Q2 2010 through CY Q4 2010 – This phase is in process.  During this period, the Company, will focus on integrating its service offerings with Key Systems platform with a view towards offering .vn registrations through Key Systems reseller network while concurrently offering Key Systems service offerings to the Company’s in-country reseller network.  Dot VN is also continuing to develop its Internet data center project in Danang City.  The Company is currently reviewing the application of the EMS MMDC as the basis for the Internet data center infrastructure.  Dot VN is also beginning to commercialize online services through the online portal INFO.VN.

 
9

 

PHASE II: CY Q1 through Q3 2011 – During this period the Company expects to begin construction of the IDC located in Danang City.  The Company also expects to begin developing additional services for the INFO.VN portal such as a business directory and financial press releases.  Dot VN also expects to begin initial sales of the virtual fiber equipment and EMS MMDC.

PHASE III: CY Q4 2011/Q1 2012 – Begin design and construction of an Internet data center located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.  Begin the development of social networking services and email services offered through INFO.VN.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

The Company’s current business activities, domain name registrations and Internet data centers, to include MMDCs, are being undertaken based on contractual agreements with the Vietnamese government, specifically VNNIC.  The Company believes that by working closely with this agency and the Ministry of Information and Communications, the government’s regulatory body for Internet and telecommunication services, that it is positioned to engage the Vietnamese government in discussions in advance of the enactment of any new or revised law or regulation affecting our business.

MARKETING

We are steadily becoming recognized in Vietnam as a leader in internet and IT services.  Maintaining and growing the Dot VN brand enables us to attract, retain new clients and create opportunities to more deeply engage users, advertisers, business owners and developers.  We believe a great brand begins with great products, services, and content.  Our marketing plans will help accelerate product momentum, awareness, adoption, and engagement.  We plan to use online, television, print, radio, and outdoor advertising.  We will leverage our global online access and our distribution partnerships to market our products and services to the right people at the right time.

COMPETITION

The markets for domain name registration and Web-based services are intensely competitive and rapidly evolving.  We expect competition to increase in the foreseeable future as new competitors enter the market and as our existing competitors expand their service offerings.  However, in the near term, we have entered into an agreement approved by VNNIC to be the sole online registrar and the only registrar authorized to register and approve domain name registrations.  Our network is directly connected to VNNICs root server allowing us to register and approve domain name registrations, independent of VNNIC and provide services such as Whois, which no other registrar can provide.  Our current competitors include domain name registrars, independent software companies, website design firms, website hosting companies, Internet service providers, Internet portals and data center operators.  Many of these competitors, and in particular Google, Microsoft and Yahoo!, have greater resources, brand recognition and consumer awareness, and larger customer bases than we have.

Our current principal competitors include:

 
·
companies focusing on worldwide domain name registration, including, eNom , Melbourne IT, Network Solutions, Register.com, EuroDNS, and Schlund;

 
·
companies focusing on domain name registration in Vietnam, including FPT, Netsoft, PA Vietnam, VDC, ESC, MATBAO, Netnam, GLTEC, Viettel, SAIGONNET, PTC (BDDN), QINETICS and BD Khánh Hòa;

 
·
companies competing with us primarily in the area of website hosting services in Vietnam, including 1&1 Internet (a division of United Internet) and Web.com (formerly known as Interland);

Investment in us involves a high degree of risk.  Investors may never recoup all or part of or realized any return on their investment.  Accordingly, investors may lose all of their investment and must be prepared to do so.

We have limited revenue and cannot assure that we will have revenue or profit to sustain our operations in the future.

We have generated revenues which do not support our operations.  We are incurring operating losses and cannot assure investors that we will generate revenue or be profitable in the future.  Continued losses could cause us to limit our operations in order to preserve working capital.

We need additional financing.

Our cash requirements may vary materially from those now planned depending on numerous factors, including our ability to complete our plan of operation and find customers to use our services, and competition.  We may not have sufficient funds to institute our plan of operation set forth in this report.  We, therefore, need to raise additional funds to finance our capital requirements through new financings to achieve the level of operations we anticipate.  Such financings could include equity financing, which may be dilutive to stockholders, or debt financing, which would likely restrict our ability to borrow from other sources.  In addition, such securities may contain rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of our current stockholders.  We do not have any commitments for additional financing.  There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available on terms attractive to us, or at all.  If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to curtail our plan to construct and operate Internet data centers in Vietnam and/or otherwise materially curtail or reduce our operations.  Alternatively, we may be forced to sell or dispose of our rights or assets.  Any inability to raise adequate funds on commercially viable terms could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.

Substantially all of our business activities are in Vietnam, and we are subject to all of the risks of foreign operations.

Substantially all of our operations involve construction and operations related in Vietnam and selling services and products related to and licenses for our services to buyers of all nationalities in Vietnam and other foreign markets.  Thus, substantially all of our business operations are subject to the risks of foreign operations.  Our business, financial condition, and results of operations are materially adversely affected by changes or uncertainties in the political or economic climates, laws, regulations, tariffs, duties, import quotas, or other trade, intellectual property or tax policies in Vietnam and possibly other foreign countries.  We will also be subject to adverse exchange rate fluctuations among Vietnamese currency and the U.S. dollar since we anticipate that any revenue generated as well as and costs and expenses for our operations in Vietnam will be paid in the Vietnamese Dong.

We will continue to incur the expenses of complying with public company reporting requirements.

 We have an obligation to continue to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), even though compliance with such reporting requirements is economically burdensome.

We may experience difficulties in the future in complying with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

As a reporting issuer under the Exchange Act, we are required to evaluate our internal controls under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  In this regard, we are required to comply with the internal control requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for each fiscal year ending on or after April 30, 2010.  If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny, civil or criminal penalties and/or stockholder litigation.  Any inability to provide reliable financial reports could harm our business.  Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act also requires our independent registered public accounting firm report on management’s evaluation of our system of internal controls.  Furthermore, any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in the implementation of adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations.

 
13

 

If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls in future periods, it could adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and our ability to run our business effectively and could cause investors to lose confidence in our financial reporting.

We may be unable to continue as a going concern if we do not successfully raise additional capital or if we fail to generate sufficient revenue from operations.

Primarily as a result of our recurring losses and our lack of liquidity, in connection with our fiscal year ended April 30, 2010 we received a report from our independent auditors that includes an explanatory paragraph describing the substantial uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Reliance on and experience of our officers and directors.

Our officers and directors will be responsible for the management and control of the Company.  Our success will, to a large extent, depend on the quality of the management provided by the officers and directors.  Although our officers and directors believe they have the ability to manage the Company, they can give no assurance that their efforts will result in success.  The officers and directors have no control over arbitrary or capricious application of law, rules and government policies in Vietnam.  Stockholders have no right or power to take part in the management of the Company.  Accordingly, no person should purchase any of the Shares offered hereby unless he is willing to entrust all aspects of the management of the Company to the officers and directors.

We may have difficulty managing growth in our business.

Assuming we are successful in commencing revenue generating activities, because of our small size and the relatively large scale of operations required for our business to yield revenue, growth in accordance with our business plan, if achieved, will place a significant strain on our financial, technical, operational and management resources.  As we expand our activities, there will be additional demands on these resources.  The failure to continue to upgrade our technical, administrative, operating and financial control systems or the occurrence of unexpected expansion difficulties, including issues relating to our performance of research and development activities related to plan of operation and retention of experienced scientists, managers and engineers, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to timely execute our business plan.  If we are unable to implement these actions in a timely manner, our results may be adversely affected.

If we borrow money to expand our business, we will face the risks of leverage.

We anticipate that we may in the future incur additional debt to finance our growth.  Our ability to borrow funds will depend upon a number of factors, including the condition of the financial markets.  The risk of loss in such circumstances is increased because we would be obligated to meet fixed payment obligations on specified dates regardless of our revenue.  If we do not meet our debt service payments when due, we may sustain the loss of our equity investment in any of our assets securing such debt upon the foreclosure on such debt by a secured lender.

Our stock price is likely to be highly volatile because of several factors, including a limited public float.

The market price of our stock is likely to be highly volatile because there has been a relatively thin trading market for our stock, which causes trades of small blocks of stock to have a significant impact on our stock price.  You may not be able to resell our common stock following periods of volatility because of the market’s adverse reaction to volatility.

Other factors that could cause such volatility may include, among other things:

 
·
announcements concerning our strategy;
 
·
litigation; and
 
·
general market conditions.

Our common stock is considered a “penny stock,” any investment in our shares is considered to be a high-risk investment and is subject to restrictions on marketability.

Our common stock is considered a “penny stock” because it is quoted and traded solely on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTC Bulletin Board”) and it trades for less than $5.00 per share.  The OTC Bulletin Board is generally regarded as a less efficient trading market than the NASDAQ Capital or Global Markets or the New York Stock Exchange.

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.”  Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).  The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and any salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.  In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to effecting a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock.

Since our common stock will be subject to the regulations applicable to penny stocks, the market liquidity for our common stock could be adversely affected because the regulations on penny stocks could limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and thus your ability to sell our common stock in the secondary market in the future.

We have additional securities available for issuance, including preferred stock, which if issued could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock.

 Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated, authorize issuance of 250,000,000 shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  The common stock and preferred stock can be issued by our board of directors without stockholder approval.  Accordingly, our stockholders will be dependent upon the judgment of our management in connection with the future issuance and sale of shares of our common and preferred stock, in the event that buyers can be found.  Any future issuances of common stock would further dilute the percentage ownership of our Company held by the public stockholders.

Risks Related to Doing Business in Vietnam

Most, if not all, of our sales may be in Vietnam.

Vietnam is a developing country and has only a limited history of trade practices as a nation.  Because we will likely direct a substantial amount of our sales efforts to customers (both Vietnamese and non-Vietnamese) in Vietnam, we will be subject to the laws, rules, regulations, and political authority of the government of Vietnam.  We may encounter material problems while doing business in Vietnam, such as in interactions with the Vietnamese government and the uncertainty of foreign legal precedent pertaining to our business in Vietnam.  Risks inherent in foreign operations also include the following:

 
·
local currency instability;
 
·
inflation;
 
·
the risk of realizing economic currency exchange losses when transactions are completed in the Vietnamese Dong and other currencies;
 
·
the ability to repatriate earnings under exchange control laws or policies; and
 
·
political unrest.

 
15

 

Changes in import and export laws and tariffs can also materially impact foreign operations.  In addition, foreign operations involve political, as well as economic risks, including:

 
·
nationalization;
 
·
expropriation;
 
·
contract renegotiations; and
 
·
changes in laws and policies resulting from governmental changes.

In addition, we may be subject to rules and regulations of Vietnam or the jurisdiction of other governmental agencies in Vietnam that may adversely affect our ability to perform under, or our rights and obligations in, our contracts with Vietnamese companies or government entities.  In the event of a dispute, we will likely be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts.  We may also be hindered or prevented from enforcing our rights with respect to a governmental instrumentality because of the doctrine of sovereign immunity.

Adverse changes in political and economic policies of the Vietnam government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of Vietnam, which could reduce the demand for our products and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.

 Some or all of our sales may be made in Vietnam.  Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are affected significantly by economic, political and legal developments in Vietnam.  The Vietnamese economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including:

 
·
the amount of government involvement;
 
·
the level of development;
 
·
the growth rate;
 
·
the control of foreign exchange; and
 
·
the allocation of resources.

While it is our understanding that the economy in Vietnam has grown significantly in the past 20 years, the growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various economic sectors.  The government of Vietnam has implemented various measures to encourage or control economic growth and guide the allocation of resources.  Some of these measures benefit the overall Vietnamese economy, but may also have a negative effect on us.  For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us.

 The Vietnamese economy has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy.  Although in recent years the Vietnamese 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 the productive assets in Vietnam is still owned by the Vietnamese government.  The continued control of these assets and other aspects of the national economy by Vietnam government could materially and adversely affect our business.  The Vietnamese government also exercises significant control over Vietnamese 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.  Efforts by the Vietnamese government to slow the pace of growth of the Vietnamese economy could result in decreased capital expenditure by power plants, which in turn could reduce demand for our products and services.

Certain Projects Require the Licenses and Permits maintained and held by Third Parties.

We are currently developing various projects designed to both generate revenue and promote wider adoption of our services such as INFO.VN, the domain name registration API, and the expansion of the reseller networks for the MMDC and E-Band Products.  The creation, success and continued operation of these projects relies on the continued maintenance of licenses and permits by Third Party partners of the Company, which are beyond Dot VN’s control.  Our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected the failure to maintain, loss, revocation or cancellation of such licenses held by Third Party partners.
 
16


We risk the effects of general economic conditions in Vietnam.
 
 Sales we secure in Vietnam could be adversely affected by a sustained economic recession in Vietnam.  Therefore, a sustained economic recession in that country could result in lower demand or lower prices for the use of our services.

Uncertainties with respect to the Vietnamese legal system could have a material adverse effect on us.

 We conduct some of our sales and significant portion of our administrative activities in Vietnam.  We will be generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in Vietnam.  Vietnam legal system is based, at least in part, on written statutes.  However, since these laws and regulations are relatively new and the Vietnamese legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involves uncertainties.  We cannot predict the effect of future developments in the Vietnamese legal system, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, the preemption of local regulations by national laws, or the overturn of local government’s decisions by the superior government.  These uncertainties may limit legal protections available to us.  In addition, any litigation in Vietnam may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.

Certain Projects Require the Ongoing Cooperation, Support and Existence of Third Parties.

We are currently developing various projects designed to both generate revenue and promote wider adoption of our services such as INFO.VN, the domain name registration API, and the expansion of the reseller networks for the MMDC and E-Band Products.  The creation, success and continued operation of these projects relies on the continued cooperation and support of Third Parties, such as VNNIC and Key Systems, which are beyond Dot VN’s control.  Our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by changes in the operation, management or regulations governing such Third Parties and/or the failure of any of these Third Parties.

Risks Related to an Investment in Our Securities

To date, we have not paid any cash dividends and no cash dividends are expected to be paid in the foreseeable future.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and we may not have sufficient funds legally available to pay dividends.  Even if the funds are legally available for distribution, we may nevertheless decide not to pay any dividends.  We intend to retain all earnings for our operations.

The application of the “penny stock” rules could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and increase your transaction costs to sell those shares.

As long as the trading price of our common shares is below $5 per share, the open-market trading of our common shares will be subject to the “penny stock” rules.  The “penny stock” rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse).  For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction before the purchase.  Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the broker-dealer must deliver, before the transaction, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities.  Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information on the limited market in penny stocks.  These additional burdens imposed on broker-dealers may restrict the ability or decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to sell our common shares, and may result in decreased liquidity for our common shares and increased transaction costs for sales and purchases of our common shares as compared to other securities.

Our common shares are thinly traded and, you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.

Our common shares have historically been sporadically or “thinly-traded” on the Pink Sheets and more recently on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent.  This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable.  As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price.  We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.

The market price for our common stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively small company with a small and thinly traded “float” and lack of current revenues that could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price.  The price at which you purchase our common stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market.  You may be unable to sell your common stock at or above your purchase price if at all, which may result in substantial losses to you.

The market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared with seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future.  The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors.  First, as noted above, our common shares are sporadically and/or thinly traded.  As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction.  The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price.  Secondly, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our lack of revenues or profits to date and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our current and potential products.  As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer.  The following factors may add to the volatility in the price of our common shares: actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly or annual operating results; adverse outcomes; and additions or departures of our key personnel, as well as other items discussed under this “Risk Factors” section, as well as elsewhere in this annual report.

Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance.  We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common shares will be at any time, including as to whether our common shares will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of shares or the availability of common shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.

Stockholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse.  Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses.  Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.  Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.  The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.

 
18

 

Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by our principal shareholders and affiliated entities.

As of July 22, 2010, our principal stockholders and their affiliated entities own approximately 78.05% of our outstanding common shares, representing approximately 78.05% of our voting power.  These stockholders, acting individually or as a group, could exert substantial influence over matters such as electing directors and approving mergers or other business combination transactions.  In addition, because of the percentage of ownership and voting concentration in these principal stockholders and their affiliated entities, elections of our board of directors will generally be within the control of these stockholders and their affiliated entities.  While all of our stockholders are entitled to vote on matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, the concentration of shares and voting control presently lies with these principal stockholders and their affiliated entities.  As such, it would be difficult for stockholders to propose and have approved proposals not supported by management.  There can be no assurances that matters voted upon by our officers and directors in their capacity as stockholders will be viewed favorably by all stockholders of the company.

The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under Delaware law and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.

Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated, contains a provision that eliminates the liability of our directors for monetary damages to our company and shareholders to the extent allowed under Delaware law and we are prepared to give such indemnification to our directors and officers to the extent provided by Delaware law.  Additionally, the Company has entered into Indemnification Agreements with all three (3) members of the Board of Directors.  The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup.  These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our company from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and shareholders.

Legislative actions, higher insurance costs and potential new accounting pronouncements may impact our future financial position and results of operations.

There have been regulatory changes, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and there may potentially be new accounting pronouncements or additional regulatory rulings that will have an impact on our future financial position and results of operations.  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other similar rule changes are likely to increase general and administrative costs and expenses.  Additionally, there could be changes in certain accounting rules.  These and other potential changes could materially increase the expenses we report under generally accepted accounting principles, and adversely affect our operating results.

The market price for our stock may be volatile which may place downward pressure on our stock price.

The market price for our stock may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following:

 
·
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly operating results;
 
·
changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;
 
·
conditions in the domain name registration and Internet data center markets;
 
·
changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other domain name registration and Internet data center companies;
 
·
announcements by us or our competitors of new products, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
 
·
addition or departure of key personnel;
 
·
intellectual property litigation; and
 
·
general economic or political conditions in Vietnam.

 
19

 

In addition, the securities market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies.  These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our stock.

We need additional capital, and the sale of additional shares or other equity securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders.

We require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue.  If our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility.  The sale of equity securities could result in dilution to our shareholders.  The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations.  We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.

From time to time, certain of our stockholders will be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations.  In general, pursuant to amended Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after six months subject only to the current public information requirement.  Affiliates may sell after six months subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), current public information and notice requirements.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud.

We are subject to reporting obligations under the U.S. securities laws.  The SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, adopted rules requiring every public company to include a management report on such company’s internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.  In addition, beginning with our annual report for fiscal 2010, an independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.  Even if our management concludes that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, our independent registered public accounting firm may still decline to attest to our management’s assessment or may issue a report that is qualified if it is not satisfied with our controls or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us.

Our reporting obligations as a public company will place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future.  Effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent fraud.  As a result, our failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our consolidated financial statements, which in turn could harm our business and negatively impact the trading price of our stock.  Furthermore, we anticipate that we will incur considerable costs and use significant management time and other resources in an effort to comply with Section 404 and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company.

As a reporting issuer under the Exchange Act, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses.  In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by SEC, has required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies.  We expect these new rules and regulations to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs and to make certain corporate activities more time-consuming and costly.  In addition, we will incur additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements.  We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

OVERVIEW
 
Dot VN, Inc., its subsidiaries, and its predecessors (the “Company” or “Dot VN”), is a leading technology company deploying cutting edge infrastructure solutions and innovative online services and solutions focused on the Vietnamese and South East Asian markets.  Dot VN provides first class internet related services including domain name registration, web hosting and internet advertising through its management of the INFO.VN platform and web portal.  Dot VN is also focused on commercializing cutting edge infrastructure technology in the South East Asian region.  Dot VN has signed agreements with industry leaders in the data center and wireless sectors to develop a market for their products in the region.

Dot VN was incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 27, 1998, under the name Trincomali Ltd. (“Trincomali”).  Over the course of its history, Trincomali underwent additional name changes until being renamed Malers, Inc. (“Malers”) on April 28, 2005.  On July 17, 2006, Malers completed an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Dot VN, Inc., a California corporation (“Dot VN CA”), the completion of which transaction resulted in Malers being renamed “Dot VN, Inc.” and the California corporation renamed Hi-Tech Multimedia, Inc. becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  Final state regulatory approval was received on August 17, 2006.  For accounting purposes, the acquisition has been treated as a recapitalization of Dot VN CA with Dot VN CA as the acquirer (reverse acquisition).  Dot VN CA was treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes because after the acquisition the shareholders of Dot VN CA controlled Malers and the officers and directors of Dot VN CA assumed the same positions at Malers; Malers is the surviving entity for legal purposes.  The historical financial statements prior to July 17, 2006 are those of Dot VN CA.

Dot VN has signed agreements with the Vietnamese Internet Network Information Center (“VNNIC”) to serve as the only domain name registrar empowered with independent authority to approve domain names, in real time, online which provides Dot VN with a competitive advantage vis-à-vis other domain name registrars (the “VNNIC Registrars Agreement”).  The current VNNIC Registrars Agreement has no fixed term.  On May 25, 2009, the Company signed an exclusive rights agreement with VNNIC to promote and advertise the registration of the ‘.vn’ ccTLD with the commercialization of a pay-per-click (“PPC”) parking page program for ‘.vn’ domain registrations; VNNIC directs all internet traffic requesting a non-existent or expired domain name to a web page managed by the Company.

Dot VN is currently in the process of designing an Internet data center (“IDC” in the singular or “IDCs” in the plural) which will serve as an internal data and telecommunications network within the country of Vietnam.  The IDCs will provide web hosting, collocation, and disaster recovery services as well as serve as the basic infrastructure for additional Internet and data technologies such as virtual fiber connectivity, distance e-learning and e-government projects.  The Company has secured a 35-year lease, ending September 21, 2043, for approximately 8,768 square meters of land in the Danang Industrial Zone in Danang City, Vietnam upon which it intends to construct a dedicated IDC building.  The IDC developments are anticipated to occur in the near to mid-term.  In the long term, the Company intends to develop additional IDCs in the rest of the Country of Vietnam.

Dot VN has a signed agreement with E-Band Communications Corporation providing the Company the right to distribute E-Band’s multi-gigabit capacity virtual fiber systems and related E-Band technology and services (the “E-Band Products”) in Vietnam, as well as, the right to distribute E-Band Products in Cambodia, Thailand and Laos.

Dot VN has a signed agreement with Elliptical Mobile Solutions, LLC (“EMS”) providing the Company the exclusive right to distribute EMS’s micro-modular data centers (“MMDC”) solutions and related technology and services (the “EMS Products”) in Vietnam, and the non-exclusive right to distribute EMS Products in Asia.

Dot VN will continue to explore and test, and analyze, new and best of breed technologies and applications for deployment in Vietnamese and South East Asian markets.

Going Concern

To date the Company has had limited revenues from the marketing and registration of ‘.vn’ domain names as it operates in this single industry segment.  Consequently, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations.  In addition, the Company has defaulted on two (2) convertible debentures aggregating $112,500 that were due January 31, 2009 and currently has not negotiated new terms or an extension of the due date on the Defaulted Debentures.  These factors, as well as the risks associated with raising capital through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities creates uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s plans to address its going concern issues include:

 
24

 

 
·
Increasing revenues of its services, specifically within its domain names registration business segment through:
 
o
the development and deployment of an Application Programming Interface which the Company anticipates will increase its reseller network and international distribution channels,
 
o
through direct marketing to existing customers both online, via e-mail and direct mailings, and
 
o
the commercialize of a pay-per-click (“PPC”) parking page program for ‘.vn’ domain registrations;
 
·
Develop the INFO.VN web platform as a central hub for the best content the Vietnamese Internet has to offer and which will also serve as a platform through which we will launch a variety of new online services and web properties, to include Internet advertising;
 
·
Completion and operation of the IDCs and revenue derived from the IDC services;
 
·
Commercialization and deployment of certain new technologies:
 
o
multi-gigabit capacity virtual fiber systems, a wireless point-to-point layer one solution, and
 
o
micro-modular data centers solutions; and
 
·
Raising capital through the sale of debt and/or equity securities.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to increase revenues, issue debt and/or equity securities for cash or as payment for outstanding obligations.  Capital raising efforts may be influenced by factors outside of the control of the Company, including, but not limited to, capital market conditions.

The Company is in various stages of finalizing implementation strategies on a number of services and is actively attempting to market its services nationally in Vietnam.  As a result of capital constraints it is uncertain when it will be able to deploy the application program interface or construction of the IDCs.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).  The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and to the understanding of our financial results:

Basis of Presentation

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting and include its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which conforms to US GAAP.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalent

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with Security and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Codification of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“CSAB”) topic 13 “Revenue Recognition” and Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) topic 605-45 “Principal Agent Considerations” (reporting revenue gross as a principal versus net as an agent).  Accordingly, we recognize revenue and the related costs when: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery and acceptance has occurred or service has been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

 
25

 

The Company principally generates revenues from the sale of ‘.vn’ ccTLD domain names for the government of Vietnam.  These revenues consist primarily of registration and renewal fees, which are recorded gross in accordance with Codification topic 605-45.

Amounts invoiced or collected in advance of delivery or providing service are recorded as a deferred revenue liability; revenue is recognized when the domain names are authorized and released to the customer.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Codification topic 825, “Financial Instruments”, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments when it is practicable to estimate that value.  The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments as of April 30, 2010 and 2009 approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.  Such instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, due to related parties, short-term convertible and term debt, and accrued and other liabilities.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company’s Vietnam subsidiaries is the applicable local currency.  The functional currency is translated into U.S. dollars for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts and cash flow items using a weighted-average exchange rate during the reporting period.  Adjustments resulting from translation are included in accumulated comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of shareholders’ equity (deficit).  Gains or losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in other income and expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, and is comprised of “net income (loss)” and “other comprehensive income (loss).”  The Company’s other comprehensive income is comprised exclusively of changes in the Company’s currency translation adjustment account.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost using the first-in first-out method or market.

Equipment

Equipment, leasehold improvements, and additions thereto, including capitalized interest, are carried at cost.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable property generally three to five years for assets purchased new and two to three years for assets purchased used.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated lives.  Management evaluates useful lives regularly in order to determine recoverability taking into consideration current technological conditions.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; additions and betterments are capitalized.  Fully depreciated assets are retained in equipment and accumulated depreciation accounts until retirement or disposal.  Upon retirement or disposal of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed, and any resulting gain or loss, net of proceeds, is credited or charged to operations.

Interest on borrowings related to eligible capital expenditures is capitalized as part of the cost of the qualified asset and amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset in accordance with Codification topic 835-20 “Capitalization of Interest”.
 
26

 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and acquired intangible assets determined to have an indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are evaluated for impairment annually and if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with Codification topic 350 “Intangible – Goodwill and Other”.  The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of an intangible asset with its carrying amount.  If the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.  After an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of the intangible asset is its new accounting basis.  Subsequent reversal of a previously recognized impairment loss is prohibited.  Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with Codification topic 360.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-Lived assets, such as property and equipment and purchased intangibles with finite lives (subject to amortization), are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable in accordance with Codification topic 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment”.  Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by an asset.  If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.  The estimated fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.  Any impairment in value is recognized as an expense in the period when the impairment occurs.

Deferred Charges

The Company capitalizes costs associated with the issuance of debt instruments as a non-current asset.  These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the debt instruments.

Convertible Debt

In accordance with Codifications topic 470-20 ”Debt with Conversion and Other Options” the Company evaluates debt securities (“Debt”) for beneficial conversion features.  A beneficial conversion feature is present when the conversion price per share is less than the market value of the common stock at the commitment date.  The intrinsic value of the feature is then measured as the difference between the conversion price and the market value (the “Spread”) multiplied by the number of shares into which the Debt is convertible and is recorded as debt discount with an offsetting amount increasing additional paid-in-capital.  The debt discount is accreted to interest expense over the term of the Debt with any unamortized discount recognized as interest expense upon conversion of the Debt.  If a debt security contains terms that change upon the occurrence of a future event the incremental intrinsic value is measured as the additional number of issuable shares multiplied by the commitment date market value and is recognized as additional debt discount with an offsetting amount increasing additional paid-in-capital upon the future event occurrence.  The total intrinsic value of the feature is limited to the proceeds allocated to the Debt instrument.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided in accordance with Codifications topic 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires an asset and liability approach for the financial accounting and reporting of income taxes.  Current income tax expense (benefit) is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable (receivable) for the current year.  A deferred tax asset and/or liability is computed for both the expected future impact of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards.  Deferred income tax expense is generally the net change during the year in the deferred income tax asset and liability.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be “more likely than not” realized in future tax returns.  Tax rate changes and changes in tax laws are reflected in income in the period such changes are enacted.

 
27

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

Codifications topic 740 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.  Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes is addressed by a two-step method of first evaluating whether a tax position has met a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and second, measuring that tax position to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements.

Guarantees of Others

Codifications topic 460, “Guarantees” requires an initial recognition and measurement of guarantees in which the guarantor obligation represents a liability, as defined.  Excluded from recognition are guarantees which may be settled in equity shares of the guarantor, at its option, and instead establishes minimum disclosure requirements.  The Company currently has no guarantees which require recognition of a liability.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented.  The Company is required to make judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  Although, we believe our judgments and estimates are appropriate, actual future results may be different; if different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be materially different from our reported results.

On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates our estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to the realizability of fixed assets and long-lived assets, income taxes, stock option and warrant valuation, and accounts receivable.  The Company bases our estimates on our limited historical experience and various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources and, where necessary, makes adjustments prospectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

Codifications topic 718 “Stock Compensation” requires that the cost resulting from all share-based transactions be recorded in the financial statements and establishes fair value as the measurement objective for share-based payment transactions with employees and acquired goods or services from non-employees.  Prior to the May 1, 2005 (fiscal year 2006) adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), the Company applied SFAS 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), which provided for the use of a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation.  However, SFAS 123 allowed the measurement of compensation cost for stock options granted to employees using the intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), which only required charges to compensation expense for the excess, if any, of the fair value of the underlying stock at the date a stock option is granted (or at an appropriate subsequent measurement date) over the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock.  Prior to fiscal year 2006, the Company had elected to account for employee stock options using the intrinsic value method under APB 25 and provided, as required by SFAS 123, pro forma footnote disclosures of net loss as if a fair value based method of accounting had been applied.

The Company adopted SFAS 123R in accordance with the modified retrospective application and has restated the consolidated financial statements from the beginning of fiscal year 2006 for the impact of SFAS 123R.  Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense in fiscal year 2006 included stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of May 1, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provision of SFAS 123.  Stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted after May 1, 2005 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.  The Company recognizes these compensation costs using the graded vesting attribute method over the requisite service period during which each tranche of shares is earned (generally one third at zero, one, and two years) with the value of each tranche is amortized on a straight-line basis.

 
28

 

Segment Information

Codifications topic 280, “Segment Reporting” provides the requirements for companies to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments.  Operating segments, as defined, are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by a Company in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.  It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.  The Company evaluated Codifications topic 280 and determined that the Company currently operates in one segment, domain name registration, and will operate in additional segments when it commences future operation of Internet data centers or wireless point-to-point systems.

Concentration of Risks

The Company derives the majority of its revenues from the registration of country code top level domain names (“ccTLD”) for the Vietnamese Ministry of Information and Communications under a contract with the Vietnam Internet Network Information Center (“VNNIC”).  The Company signed its first contract with VNNIC on September 18, 2003 which was renewed annually.  On January 3, 2006, the Company and VNNIC signed a new contract for registration of top level country domain names with no fixed term; on May 25, 2009, the Company and VNNIC signed an updated contract, with no fixed term, which revised the Company’s incentive goals effective January 2, 2009; on December 3, 2009, the Company and VNNIC signed an updated contract, with no fixed term, which revised the Company’s incentive goals for calendar year 2010.

On September 28, 2006, the Company and VNNIC signed a procedural agreement, with a profit sharing component, for the design, construction, and operation of an IDC in Hanoi, Vietnam with a fifty year term.  VNNIC will provide four finished floors (approximately 10,000 square feet) rent free for ten years within a facility under construction.  In exchange the Company will design and construction the IDC, acquire the equipment (hardware and software), and manage the operation.

On May 25, 2009, the Company signed an exclusive rights agreement with VNNIC to promote and advertise the registration of the ‘.vn’ ccTLD through the commercialization of a pay-per-click (“PPC”) parking page program for ‘.vn’ domain registrations.

In the event of a change in the business conditions within Vietnam; enactment, application or interpretation of any law in Vietnam the effect of which is to nationalize or expropriate or enforce disposal the Company’s assets within Vietnam; or a change in the Company’s contractual relationship with VNNIC the Company could be adversely affected.

On January 31 and February 9, 2007 the Company issued a series of convertible debentures for an aggregate of $1,148,212 due January 31, 2009 (the “February Financing”).  The debentures convert at the option of each individual noteholder (the “February Investors”) into restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $1.00 per share.  The February Financing was funded in conjunction with a like amount of convertible debentures issued concurrently by Spot-On Networks, LLC (“Spot-On”) to the February Investors (the “Spot-On Debenture”).  The February Financing terms required that the convertible debentures issued by Spot-On be convertible into common stock of either membership units of Spot-On Networks, LLC or common stock of the Company, at the option of the February Investors.  Upon the February Investors’ election to convert a Spot-On Debenture into the Company’s common stock the Spot-On Debenture is assigned and transferred into the name of the Company (the “Assigned Spot-On Debentures”) at which time the Company issues the Common Stock and records a note receivable.  Future monthly interest payments, at 10% per annum, are accrued and on January 31, 2009, at maturity, the Assigned Spot-On Debentures principal and accrued interest was to be paid to the Company by Spot-On.

 
29

 

Spot-On participated in the February Debentures because, at the time, the Company and Spot-On contemplated consummating a business combination transaction, such as a merger, share exchange or acquisition, provided that the Company could obtain a larger amount of financing, contemplated by the parties to be approximately $10,000,000.  The Company never obtained a larger amount of financing and, as a consequence, terms and conditions of the contemplated business combination transaction by and between the Company and Spot-On were never negotiated.  The holders of the Spot-On Debentures are the same persons as the Company’s February Debentures.  No holder of a Spot-On Debenture, on an as-converted basis, is a beneficial holder of 5% or more of common stock of the Company.

Prior to the January 31, 2009 expiration of the Spot-On Debenture conversion right, a total of eight (8) February Investors’ election to convert their Spot-On Debentures, aggregating $236,213 into 236,213 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company’s ability to collect the Assigned Spot-On Debentures principal and subsequent accrued interest is dependent on the cash reserves of Spot-On and/or their ability to raise additional financing.  On January 30, 2009, the Company received a request from Spot-On to (i) extend the maturity date of the Assigned Spot-On Debentures to March 31, 2009 and (ii) waive any defaults under the Assigned Spot-On Debentures or any of the related documents or events of default which are outstanding or have occurred (the “Spot-On Offer”).  The Company did not accept the Spot-On Offer and continues discussing options to receive the full amount due, with accrued interest.  To date the Company has not received any payment from Spot-On on the Assigned Spot-On Debentures and Spot-On is unable to provide the Company with a firm repayment date as they negotiated to raise funds to satisfy their obligation under the Spot-On Debentures.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with Codifications topic 260, “Earnings Per Share” for the periods presented.  Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted loss per share has not been presented because the assumed exercise of the Company’s outstanding options and warrants would be antidilutive during periods of net loss.  Diluted earnings loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive stock options, warrants, and convertible debt are converted or exercised by applying the treasury stock method.  Under this method, options and warrants are assumed exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.  Options and/or warrants will have a dilutive effect, during periods of net profit, only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and/or warrants.  There were options to purchase 20,323,500 shares of common stock and 12,734,303 warrants potentially issuable at April 30, 2010 which were not included in the computation of net loss per share.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current period presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on operating results or stockholders’ equity (deficit).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

If we are to implement our business plan, we will need to raise significant amounts of additional capital during the year ending April 30, 2011.  We have not received any commitment that any such additional financing would be forthcoming.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in selling equity or securing debt financing, or that any combination thereof will be sufficient to meet our capital needs or, if it could be obtained, that it can be obtained on reasonable terms in light of our circumstances at that time.  In addition, if any financing should be obtained, existing shareholders will likely incur substantial, immediate, and permanent dilution of their existing investment.  (See also "PLAN OF OPERATION")

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-09, “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements” (“ASU 2010-09”), which is included in the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (the “ASC”) Topic 855 (Subsequent Events).  ASU 2010-09 clarifies that an SEC filer is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued.  ASU 2010-09 is effective upon the issuance of the final update and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”), which is included in the ASC Topic 820 (Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures).  ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures on the amount and reason for transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements.  ASU 2010-06 also requires disclosure of activities, including purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within the Level 3 fair value measurements and clarifies existing disclosure requirements on levels of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques.  ASU 2010-06 was effective for the Company as of January 31, 2010 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2009 the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05 “Improving Disclosure about Fair Value Measurements”, (“ASU 2009-05”) which is included in the ASC Topic 820 (Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures).  ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that the fair value measurement of liabilities in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available should be developed based on a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets or another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of Topic 820.  ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that there is no requirement to adjust the fair value related to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability and that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements.  ASU 2009-05 was effective for the Company as of October 31, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS No. 168”).  SFAS No. 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.  Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative US GAAP for SEC registrants.  SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal periods (interim and annual) ending after September 15, 2009.  The Codification supersedes all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards not included in the Codification.  The Company does not expect adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements as the purpose of the Codification is not to change US GAAP; rather, the Codification is meant to simplify user access to all authoritative US GAAP.  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are now presented as references to the corresponding Topic in the Codification.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (SFAS No. 166), which is included in the ASC Topic 860 (Transfers and Servicing).  SFAS No. 166 clarifies the information that an entity must provide in its financial statements surrounding a transfer of financial assets and the effect of the transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  The statement eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and changes the requirements for the derecognition of financial assets.  SFAS No. 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact adoption of this statement could have in its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. SFAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP SFAS 157-4”), which is included in the ASC Topic 820 (Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures).  FSP SFAS 157-4 provides guidance on estimating fair value when market activity has decreased and on identifying transactions that are not orderly.  Additionally, entities are required to disclose in interim and annual periods the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  This FSP was effective for the Company as of July 31, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 08-7 “Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets” (“EITF 08-7”), which is included in the ASC Topic 350 (Intangibles – Goodwill and Other).  EITF 08-7 clarifies the definition and accounting for defensive intangible assets acquired in a business combination or an asset acquisition and states that, upon acquisition, an intangible asset must be recognized at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, regardless of how the acquiring entity intends to use the asset.  The intangible asset should be amortized over a useful life approximated by the period over which it is expected to provide direct and indirect cash flows benefits resulting from the limitation against others to use the intangible asset.  EITF 08-7 was effective for the Company as of July 31, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October, 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP FAS 157-3”), which is included in the ASC Topic 820 (Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures).  FSP FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active and addresses application issues such as the use of internal assumptions when relevant observable data does not exist, the use of observable market information when the market is not active, and the use of market quotes when assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable data.  FSP 157-3 was effective for the Company as of October 31, 2008 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”), which is included in the ASC Topic 260 (Earnings Per Share).  FSP EITF 03-6-1 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.  Upon adoption, a company is required to retrospectively adjust its earnings per share data (including any amounts related to interim periods, summaries of earnings and selected financial data) to conform with the provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1.  FSP EITF 03-6-1 was effective for the Company as of July 31, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 08-4, “Transition Guidance for Conforming changes to Issue No. 98-5” (“EITF 08-4”), which is included in the ASC Topic 470 (Debt).  EITF 08-4 specifically identifies the portions of EITF No. 98-5 that were nullified by EITF No. 00-27 and clarifies that instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 150 are no longer within the scope of EITF No. 98-5.  The effect, if any, of applying the conforming changes shall be presented retrospectively with the cumulative-effect of the change being reported in retained earnings in the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first period presented.  EITF 08-4 was effective for the Company as of July 31, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-5”), which is included in the ASC Topic 815 (Derivatives and Hedging).  EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions.  It also clarifies the impact that foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation instruments have on the evaluation.  EITF 07-5 was effective for the Company as of July 31, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”).  SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the “GAAP hierarchy”).  SFAS 162 will become effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”  The adoption of this statement did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 
38

 

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments that May be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial cash Settlement” (“FSP APB 14-1”), which is included in the ASC Topic 470 (Debt).  FSP APB 14-1 requires that the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects an issuer's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate.  The resulting debt discount is amortized over the period the convertible debt is expected to be outstanding as additional non-cash interest expense.  Retrospective application to all periods presented is required except for instruments that were not outstanding during any of the periods that will be presented in the annual financial statements for the period of adoption but were outstanding during an earlier period.  FSP APB 14-1 was effective for the Company as of July 31, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

PLAN OF OPERATION

Our current operational strategy involves the implementation of a four-component plan that includes:
 
(i)
The development and implementation of an Application Program Interface (“API”) to expand our reseller network;
 
(ii)
The implementation and commercialization of our INFO.VN portal and the launch of various related online products and services;
 
(iii)
The construction of an Internet data center located in Danang City, Vietnam and other major cities in Vietnam; and
 
(iv)
Commercialization of the virtual fiber equipment, a wireless point-to-point layer one solution and the EMS MMDC solution.

The plan provides revenue-generating opportunities throughout the development process, and leads to a complete operational demonstration of the technology.

The plan includes:

PHASE I: CY Q2 2010 through CY Q4 2010:  This phase is in process.  During this period, the Company, will focus on integrating its service offerings with Key Systems platform with a view towards offering .vn registrations through Key Systems reseller network while concurrently offering Key Systems service offerings to the Company’s in-country reseller network.  Dot VN is also continuing to develop its data center project in Danang City.  The Company is currently reviewing the application of the EMS MMDC as the basis for the data center infrastructure.  Dot VN is also beginning to commercialize online services through the online portal INFO.VN.

PHASE II: CY Q1 through Q3 2011:  During this period the Company expects to begin construction of the IDC located in Danang City.  The Company also expects to begin developing additional services for the INFO.VN portal such as a business directory and financial press releases.  Dot VN also expects to begin initial sales of the virtual fiber equipment and EMS MMDC.

PHASE III: CY Q4 2011/Q1 2012 – Begin design and construction of an Internet data center located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.  Begin the development of social networking services and email services offered through INFO.VN.

Subsequent to the successful demonstration of the first MMDC based IDC facility or the virtual fiber system, the Company may elect to solicit standard bank financing and/or other financing methods to secure funding to drive the growth of the Vietnamese ccTLD, construct additional IDCs or to expand its wireless point-to-point network.  In conjunction with this, the Company may also elect to enter into joint ventures, licensing, and/or production sharing agreements with other companies to maximize the value of the technologies to the Company’s shareholders.  Management’s analysis suggests that following this direction provides the highest potential, lowest risk path to high profits from our new technologies.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, are responsible for conducting an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this report.  Disclosure controls and procedures means that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, including any consolidating subsidiaries, and was made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared.  Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of April 30, 2009.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  The internal control process has been designed, under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2010, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring.  Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2010 was not effective for the reason described herein.

 
41

 

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives.  The aforementioned material weakness was identified by our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of April 30, 2010.

Management believes that the material weakness set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, transactions and dispositions of assets; and provide reasonable assurances that: (1) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; (2) receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and (3) unauthorized acquisitions, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements are prevented or timely detected.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparations and presentations.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2010, management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).  Our President and Chief Executive Officer, who is also our principal financial and accounting officer, has concluded that the design and operation of our internal controls and procedures were not effective as of April 30, 2010, for the following reasons:

 
(i)
Insufficient Resources: We have an inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.

 
(ii)
Inadequate Segregation of Duties: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.

 
(iii)
Lack of Audit Committee & Outside Directors on The Company’s Board of Directors:  We do not have a functioning audit committee or outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.

Management is committed to improving its internal controls and will (1) continue to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist the Company with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (3) may consider appointing outside directors and audit committee members in the future.

Management, including our president, has discussed the material weakness noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm.  Due to the nature of this material weakness, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide on management’s report on this annual report.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the year ended April 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Dr. Johnson provides our board with extensive knowledge and experience with the technology underlying our business and his relationships with agencies and ministries in the government of Vietnam.  He has significant organizational, operational, and managerial experience, and we believe he brings valuable insight to growing our company and assists us in meeting our business objectives.  We believe that these experiences, qualifications and attributes have led to our conclusion that Dr. Johnson should be serving as a member of our Board of Directors in light of our business and structure.

Mr. Louis P. Huynh
Title: General Counsel; Corporate Secretary; Executive Vice President, Operations and Business Development; Director

Mr. Huynh has served as our General Counsel since October 9, 2006, as a Director since November 20, 2006, as our Corporate Secretary since August 7, 2007, and as our Executive Vice President, Operations and Business Development since June 10, 2008.  Louis P. Huynh graduated with distinction from the University of Washington with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and received his law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law.  Mr. Huynh is admitted to practice in New York.  Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Huynh was an attorney practicing law, where he focused his practice on corporate finance, corporate governance, mergers & acquisitions and corporate litigation.  Prior to entering private practice, Mr. Huynh served as legal counsel to Viet Wah Trading, Inc. (“VWT”), where he provided legal advice to and representation to several major Vietnamese manufacturers, consulted with foreign clients to ensure compliance with regulations of the United States Food and Drug Administration and advised VWT’s Chief Executive Officer regarding leasing contracts, COBRA compliance and banking.

We believe that Mr. Huynh’s extensive senior management, operational and board experience, experience as a corporate finance and securities lawyer in private practice, and his extensive relationships with agencies and ministries in the government of Vietnam bring valuable knowledge to our board of directors and that these experiences, qualifications and attributes have led to our conclusion that Mr. Huynh should be serving as a member of our Board of Directors in light of our business and structure.

Limitations on Directors’ Liabilities and Indemnification

Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated, provides that, except to the extent prohibited by Delaware law, our directors shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty unless the breach related to acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law.  Each of our directors will be liable under Delaware law for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us for acts or omissions that are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are prohibited by Delaware law.  This limitation of liability also does not apply to our directors’ liabilities arising under federal securities laws and does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relieve or rescission.

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we may indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.  Such right of indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of such a person.  The indemnification provided by our articles of incorporation shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights that may be provided now or in the future under any provision currently in effect or hereafter adopted by our articles of incorporation, by any agreement, by vote of our stockholders, by resolution of our directors, by provision of law or otherwise.  The Company does not maintain liability insurance on behalf of our directors or officers.

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees in which indemnification is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
 
On October 9, 2006, the Board of Directors approved an employment agreement for Thomas Johnson to serve as Chief Executive Officer of our Company, which will continue indefinitely unless terminated as provided in the agreement.  Mr. Johnson was awarded an annual salary of $360,000, but agreed to defer any such amount until our company has received not less than $10,000,000 of financing from either the sale of securities, or in connection with a significant joint venture or strategic alliance.  In lieu of payment of his deferred salary, Mr. Johnson has accrued his salary until such time as the Company the financing requirement has been met.

On October 8, 2006, the Board of Directors approved an employment agreement for Lee Johnson to serve as President and Chief Technical Officer, and Chief Financial Officer of our Company, which will continue indefinitely unless terminated as provided in the agreement.  Dr. Johnson was awarded an annual salary of $360,000, but agreed to defer any such amount until our company has received not less than $10,000,000 of financing from either the sale of securities, or in connection with a significant joint venture or strategic alliance.  In lieu of payment of his deferred salary, Dr. Johnson has accrued his salary until such time as the Company the financing requirement has been met.

On August 7, 2007, the Board of Directors approved an employment agreement for Louis Huynh, to serve as the Company’s General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.  Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Huynh shall receive an annual salary of $120,000 and shall receive stock options totaling in the aggregate 200,000 shares; such shares are exercisable, at a per share price of $1.80, into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Huynh Employment Options”).  The Huynh Employment Options shall vest at a rate of 66,666 on October 9, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively and have a term of ten years from the date of vesting.  In addition to the Huynh Employment Options, Mr. Huynh was granted 19,445 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement valued at $35,000.  Mr. Huynh is also eligible to receive additional equity and cash bonuses in connection with the successful performance of his duties.  On June 10, 2008, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Huynh the Company’s Executive Vice President, Operations and Business Development.

Additionally, we have employment agreements with certain key employees and we require each of our employees to execute confidentiality, assignment of intellectual property and non-disclosure agreements with respect to all technical aspects of our business, and to agree to assign to the Company all inventions, research and technical data developed by them during the course of their employment.

TERM OF OFFICE

All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.  The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors will consist of no less than three members.  Officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to its principal executive officers, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.  A copy of the Company’s Code of Ethics may be obtained free of charge by contacting the Company at the address or telephone number listed on the cover page hereof.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

We do not have a standing audit committee, an audit committee financial expert, or any committee or person performing a similar function.  If we are able to raise sufficient financing in the future, then we will likely seek out and retain independent directors and form an audit, compensation committee and other applicable committees.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC.  Executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with all Section 16(a) forms they file.  Based solely on our review of the copies of the forms received by us and written representations from certain reporting persons that they have complied with the relevant filing requirements, we believe that, during the year ended April 30, 2010, all of our executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.

 
46

 
 
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Our board of directors currently consists of three members: Thomas Johnson, Lee Johnson, and Louis Huynh.

We do not have a separately designated compensation or nominating committees of our board of directors and the functions customarily delegated to these committees are performed by our full board of directors.  We are not a “listed company” under SEC rules and are therefore not required to have separate committees comprised of independent directors.  None of our directors are “independent” as that term is defined in Section 4200 of the Marketplace Rules as required by the NASDAQ Stock Market.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of
Dot VN, Inc.
9449 Balboa Avenue, Suite 114
San Diego, CA 92123

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dot VN, Inc. (the “Company”) as of April 30, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Dot VN, Inc. as of April 30, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.      Organization

The Company

Dot VN, Inc., its subsidiaries, and its predecessors (the “Company” or “Dot VN”), is a leading technology company deploying cutting edge infrastructure solutions and innovative online services and solutions focused on the Vietnamese and South East Asian markets.  Dot VN provides first class internet related services including domain name registration, web hosting and internet advertising through its management of the INFO.VN platform and web portal.  Dot VN is also focused on commercializing cutting edge infrastructure technology in the South East Asian region.  Dot VN has signed agreements with industry leaders in the data center and wireless sectors to develop a market for their products in the region.  In order to maximize the benefits the Company can derive from the technology, the Company also intends:

 
·
to drive growth in registrations of the Vietnamese ccTLD ‘.vn’;
 
·
to build and operate Internet data centers in major city centers in Vietnam;
 
·
to commercialize the use of multi-gigabit capacity virtual fiber systems, a wireless point-to-point layer one solution;
 
·
to commercialize the use of micro modular data center solutions; and
 
·
to identify, deploy and commercialize best of breed technologies and applications in Vietnam.

Dot VN was incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 27, 1998, under the name Trincomali Ltd. (“Trincomali”).  Over the course of its history, Trincomali underwent additional name changes until being renamed Malers, Inc. (“Malers”) on April 28, 2005.  On July 17, 2006, Malers completed an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Dot VN, Inc., a California corporation (“Dot VN CA”), the completion of which transaction resulted in Malers being renamed “Dot VN, Inc.” and Dot VN CA was renamed Hi-Tech Multimedia, Inc. becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  Final state regulatory approval was received on August 17, 2006.  For accounting purposes, the acquisition has been treated as a recapitalization of Dot VN CA with Dot VN CA as the acquirer (reverse acquisition).  Dot VN CA was treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes because after the acquisition the shareholders of Dot VN CA controlled Malers and the officers and directors of Dot VN CA assumed the same positions at Malers; Malers is the surviving entity for legal purposes.  The historical financial statements prior to July 17, 2006 are those of Dot VN CA.

Dot VN has signed agreements with the Vietnamese Internet Network Information Center (“VNNIC”) to serve as the only domain name registrar empowered with independent authority to approve domain names, in real time, online which provides Dot VN with a competitive advantage vis-à-vis other domain name registrars (the “VNNIC Registrars Agreement”).  The current VNNIC Registrars Agreement has no fixed term.  On May 25, 2009, the Company signed an exclusive rights agreement with VNNIC to promote and advertise the registration of the ‘.vn’ ccTLD with the commercialization of a pay-per-click (“PPC”) parking page program for ‘.vn’ domain registrations; VNNIC directs all internet traffic requesting a non-existent or expired domain name to a web page managed by the Company.

Dot VN is currently in the process of designing an Internet data center (“IDC” in the singular or “IDCs” in the plural) which will serve as an internal data and telecommunications network within the country of Vietnam.  The IDCs will provide web hosting, collocation, and disaster recovery services as well as serve as the basic infrastructure for additional Internet and data technologies such as virtual fiber connectivity, distance e-learning and e-government projects.  The Company has secured a 35-year lease, ending September 21, 2043, for approximately 8,768 square meters of land in the Danang Industrial Zone in Danang City, Vietnam upon which it intends to construct a dedicated IDC building.  The IDC developments are anticipated to occur in the near to mid-term.  In the long term, the Company intends to develop additional IDCs in the rest of the Country of Vietnam.

Dot VN has a signed agreement with E-Band Communications Corporation providing the Company the right to distribute E-Band’s multi-gigabit capacity virtual fiber systems and related E-Band technology and services (the “E-Band Products”) in Vietnam, as well as, the right to distribute E-Band Products in Cambodia, Thailand and Laos.

The Company (continued)

Dot VN has a signed agreement with Elliptical Mobile Solutions, LLC (“EMS”) providing the Company the exclusive right to distribute EMS’s micro-modular data centers (“MMDC”) solutions and related technology and services (the “EMS Products”) in Vietnam, and the non-exclusive right to distribute EMS Products in Asia.

Dot VN will continue to explore and test, and analyze, new and best of breed technologies and applications for deployment in Vietnamese and South East Asian markets.

2.      Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting and include its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which conforms to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with Security and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Codification of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“CSAB”) topic 13 “Revenue Recognition” and Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) topic 605-45 “Principal Agent Considerations” (reporting revenue gross as a principal versus net as an agent).  Accordingly, we recognize revenue and the related costs when: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery and acceptance has occurred or service has been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

The Company principally generates revenues from the sale of ‘.vn’ ccTLD domain names for the government of Vietnam.  These revenues consist primarily of registration and renewal fees, which are recorded gross in accordance with Codification topic 605-45.

Amounts invoiced or collected in advance of delivery or providing service are recorded as a deferred revenue liability; revenue is recognized when the domain names are authorized and released to the customer.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Codification topic 825, “Financial Instruments”, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments when it is practicable to estimate that value.  The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments as of April 30, 2010 and 2009 approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.  Such instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, due to related parties, short-term convertible and term debt, and accrued and other liabilities.

2.      Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company’s Vietnam subsidiaries is the applicable local currency.  The functional currency is translated into U.S. dollars for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts and cash flow items using a weighted-average exchange rate during the reporting period.  Adjustments resulting from translation are included in accumulated comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of shareholders’ equity (deficit).  Gains or losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in other income and expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, and is comprised of “net income (loss)” and “other comprehensive income (loss).”  The Company’s other comprehensive income is comprised exclusively of changes in the Company’s currency translation adjustment account.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost using the first-in first-out method or market.

Equipment

Equipment, leasehold improvements, and additions thereto, including capitalized interest, are carried at cost.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable property generally three to five years for assets purchased new and two to three years for assets purchased used.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated lives.  Management evaluates useful lives regularly in order to determine recoverability taking into consideration current technological conditions.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; additions and betterments are capitalized.  Fully depreciated assets are retained in equipment and accumulated depreciation accounts until retirement or disposal.  Upon retirement or disposal of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed, and any resulting gain or loss, net of proceeds, is credited or charged to operations.

Interest on borrowings related to eligible capital expenditures is capitalized as part of the cost of the qualified asset and amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset in accordance with Codification topic 835-20 “Capitalization of Interest”.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and acquired intangible assets determined to have an indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are evaluated for impairment annually and if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with Codification topic 350 “Intangible – Goodwill and Other”.  The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of an intangible asset with its carrying amount.  If the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.  After an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of the intangible asset is its new accounting basis.  Subsequent reversal of a previously recognized impairment loss is prohibited.  Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with Codification topic 360.

2.      Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Long-Lived Assets

Long-Lived assets, such as property and equipment and purchased intangibles with finite lives (subject to amortization), are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by an asset.  If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.  The estimated fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.  Any impairment in value is recognized as an expense in the period when the impairment occurs.


The Company capitalizes costs associated with the issuance of debt instruments as a non-current asset.  These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the debt instruments.

Convertible Debt

In accordance with Codification topic 470-20 ”Debt with Conversion and Other Options” the Company evaluates debt securities (“Debt”) for beneficial conversion features.  A beneficial conversion feature is present when the conversion price per share is less than the market value of the common stock at the commitment date.  The intrinsic value of the feature is then measured as the difference between the conversion price and the market value (the “Spread”) multiplied by the number of shares into which the Debt is convertible and is recorded as debt discount with an offsetting amount increasing additional paid-in-capital.  The debt discount is accreted to interest expense over the term of the Debt with any unamortized discount recognized as interest expense upon conversion of the Debt.  If a debt security contains terms that change upon the occurrence of a future event the incremental intrinsic value is measured as the additional number of issuable shares multiplied by the commitment date market value and is recognized as additional debt discount with an offsetting amount increasing additional paid-in-capital upon the future event occurrence.  The total intrinsic value of the feature is limited to the proceeds allocated to the Debt instrument.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided in accordance with Codification topic 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires an asset and liability approach for the financial accounting and reporting of income taxes.  Current income tax expense (benefit) is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable (receivable) for the current year.  A deferred tax asset and/or liability is computed for both the expected future impact of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards.  Deferred income tax expense is generally the net change during the year in the deferred income tax asset and liability.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be “more likely than not” realized in future tax returns.  Tax rate changes and changes in tax laws are reflected in income in the period such changes are enacted.

Uncertain Tax Positions

Codification topic 740 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.  Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes is addressed by a two-step method of first evaluating whether a tax position has met a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and second, measuring that tax position to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements.

Guarantees of Others
 
Codification topic 460, “Guarantees” requires an initial recognition and measurement of guarantees in which the guarantor obligation represents a liability, as defined.  Excluded from recognition are guarantees which may be settled in equity shares of the guarantor, at its option, and instead establishes minimum disclosure requirements.  The Company currently has no guarantees which require recognition of a liability.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented.  The Company is required to make judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  Although, we believe our judgments and estimates are appropriate, actual future results may be different; if different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be materially different from our reported results.

On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates our estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to the realizability of fixed assets and long-lived assets, income taxes, stock option and warrant valuation, and accounts receivable.  The Company bases our estimates on our limited historical experience and various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources and, where necessary, makes adjustments prospectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

Codification topic 718 “Stock Compensation” requires that the cost resulting from all share-based transactions be recorded in the financial statements and establishes fair value as the measurement objective for share-based payment transactions with employees and acquired goods or services from non-employees.  Prior to the May 1, 2005 (fiscal year 2006) adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), the Company applied SFAS 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), which provided for the use of a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation.  However, SFAS 123 allowed the measurement of compensation cost for stock options granted to employees using the intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), which only required charges to compensation expense for the excess, if any, of the fair value of the underlying stock at the date a stock option is granted (or at an appropriate subsequent measurement date) over the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock.  Prior to fiscal year 2006, the Company had elected to account for employee stock options using the intrinsic value method under APB 25 and provided, as required by SFAS 123, pro forma footnote disclosures of net loss as if a fair value based method of accounting had been applied.

The Company adopted SFAS 123R in accordance with the modified retrospective application and has restated the consolidated financial statements from the beginning of fiscal year 2006 for the impact of SFAS 123R.  Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense in fiscal year 2006 included stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of May 1, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provision of SFAS 123.  Stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted after May 1, 2005 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.  The Company recognizes these compensation costs using the graded vesting attribute method over the requisite service period during which each tranche of shares is earned (generally one third at zero, one, and two years) with the value of each tranche is amortized on a straight-line basis.

Segment Information

Codification topic 280, “Segment Reporting” provides the requirements for companies to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments.  Operating segments, as defined, are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by a Company in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.  It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.  The Company evaluated Codification topic 280 and determined that the Company currently operates in one segment, domain name registration, and will operate in additional segments when it commences future operation of Internet data centers or wireless point-to-point systems.

Concentration of Risks

The Company derives the majority of its revenues from the registration of country code top level domain names (“ccTLD”) for the Vietnamese Ministry of Information and Communications under a contract with the Vietnam Internet Network Information Center (“VNNIC”).  The Company signed its first contract with VNNIC on September 18, 2003 which was renewed annually.  On January 3, 2006, the Company and VNNIC signed a new contract for registration of top level country domain names with no fixed term; on May 25, 2009, the Company and VNNIC signed an updated contract, with no fixed term, which revised the Company’s incentive goals effective January 2, 2009; on December 3, 2009, the Company and VNNIC signed an updated contract, with no fixed term, which revised the Company’s incentive goals for calendar year 2010.

On September 28, 2006, the Company and VNNIC signed a procedural agreement, with a profit sharing component, for the design, construction, and operation of an IDC in Hanoi, Vietnam with a fifty year term.  VNNIC will provide four finished floors (approximately 10,000 square feet) rent free for ten years within a facility under construction.  In exchange the Company will design and construction the IDC, acquire the equipment (hardware and software), and manage the operation.

On May 25, 2009, the Company signed an exclusive rights agreement with VNNIC to promote and advertise the registration of the ‘.vn’ ccTLD through the commercialization of a pay-per-click (“PPC”) parking page program for ‘.vn’ domain registrations.

In the event of a change in the business conditions within Vietnam; enactment, application or interpretation of any law in Vietnam the effect of which is to nationalize or expropriate or enforce disposal the Company’s assets within Vietnam; or a change in the Company’s contractual relationship with VNNIC, the Company could be adversely affected.

On January 31 and February 9, 2007 the Company issued a series of convertible debentures for an aggregate of $1,148,212 due January 31, 2009 (the “February Financing”).  The debentures convert at the option of each individual noteholder (the “February Investors”) into restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $1.00 per share.  The February Financing was funded in conjunction with a like amount of convertible debentures issued concurrently by Spot-On Networks, LLC (“Spot-On”) to the February Investors (the “Spot-On Debenture”).  The February Financing terms required that the convertible debentures issued by Spot-On be convertible into common stock of either membership units of Spot-On Networks, LLC or common stock of the Company, at the option of the February Investors.  Upon the February Investors’ election to convert a Spot-On Debenture into the Company’s common stock the Spot-On Debenture is assigned and transferred into the name of the Company (the “Assigned Spot-On Debentures”) at which time the Company issues the Common Stock and records a note receivable.  Future monthly interest payments, at 10% per annum, are accrued and on January 31, 2009, at maturity, the Assigned Spot-On Debentures principal and accrued interest was to be paid to the Company by Spot-On.

Concentration of Risks (continued)
  
Spot-On participated in the February Debentures because, at the time, the Company and Spot-On contemplated consummating a business combination transaction, such as a merger, share exchange or acquisition, provided that the Company could obtain a larger amount of financing, contemplated by the parties to be approximately $10,000,000.  The Company never obtained a larger amount of financing and, as a consequence, terms and conditions of the contemplated business combination transaction by and between the Company and Spot-On were never negotiated.  The holders of the Spot-On Debentures are the same persons as the Company’s February Debentures.  No holder of a Spot-On Debenture, on an as-converted basis, is a beneficial holder of 5% or more of common stock of the Company.

Prior to the January 31, 2009 expiration of the Spot-On Debenture conversion right, a total of eight (8) February Investors’ election to convert their Spot-On Debentures, aggregating $236,213 into 236,213 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company’s ability to collect the Assigned Spot-On Debentures principal and subsequent accrued interest is dependent on the cash reserves of Spot-On and/or their ability to raise additional financing.  On January 30, 2009, the Company received a request from Spot-On to (i) extend the maturity date of the Assigned Spot-On Debentures to March 31, 2009 and (ii) waive any defaults under the Assigned Spot-On Debentures or any of the related documents or events of default which are outstanding or have occurred (the “Spot-On Offer”).  The Company did not accept the Spot-On Offer and continues discussing options to receive the full amount due, with accrued interest.  To date the Company has not received any payment from Spot-On on the Assigned Spot-On Debentures and Spot-On is unable to provide the Company with a firm repayment date as they negotiated to raise funds to satisfy their obligation under the Spot-On Debentures.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with Codification topic 260, “Earnings Per Share” for the periods presented.  Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted loss per share has not been presented because the assumed exercise of the Company’s outstanding options and warrants would be antidilutive during periods of net loss.  Diluted earnings loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive stock options, warrants, and convertible debt are converted or exercised by applying the treasury stock method.  Under this method, options and warrants are assumed exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.  Options and/or warrants will have a dilutive effect, during periods of net profit, only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and/or warrants.  There were options to purchase 20,323,500 shares of common stock and 12,734,303 warrants potentially issuable at April 30, 2010 which were not included in the computation of net loss per share.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current period presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on operating results or stockholders’ equity (deficit).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-09, “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements” (“ASU 2010-09”), which is included in the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (the “ASC”) Topic 855 (Subsequent Events).  ASU 2010-09 clarifies that an SEC filer is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued.  ASU 2010-09 is effective upon the issuance of the final update and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”), which is included in the ASC Topic 820 (Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures).  ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures on the amount and reason for transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements.  ASU 2010-06 also requires disclosure of activities, including purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within the Level 3 fair value measurements and clarifies existing disclosure requirements on levels of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques.  ASU 2010-06 was effective for the Company as of January 31, 2010 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2009 the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05 “Improving Disclosure about Fair Value Measurements”, (“ASU 2009-05”) which is included in the ASC Topic 820 (Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures).  ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that the fair value measurement of liabilities in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available should be developed based on a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets or another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of Topic 820.  ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that there is no requirement to adjust the fair value related to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability and that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements.  ASU 2009-05 was effective for the Company as of October 31, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS No. 168”).  SFAS No. 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.  Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative US GAAP for SEC registrants.  SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal periods (interim and annual) ending after September 15, 2009.  The Codification supersedes all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards not included in the Codification.  The Company does not expect adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements as the purpose of the Codification is not to change US GAAP; rather, the Codification is meant to simplify user access to all authoritative US GAAP.  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are now presented as references to the corresponding Topic in the Codification.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (SFAS No. 166), which is included in the ASC Topic 860 (Transfers and Servicing).  SFAS No. 166 clarifies the information that an entity must provide in its financial statements surrounding a transfer of financial assets and the effect of the transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  The statement eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and changes the requirements for the derecognition of financial assets.  SFAS No. 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact adoption of this statement could have in its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. SFAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP SFAS 157-4”), which is included in the ASC Topic 820 (Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures).  FSP SFAS 157-4 provides guidance on estimating fair value when market activity has decreased and on identifying transactions that are not orderly.  Additionally, entities are required to disclose in interim and annual periods the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  This FSP was effective for the Company as of July 31, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
 
In November 2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 08-7 “Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets” (“EITF 08-7”), which is included in the ASC Topic 350 (Intangibles – Goodwill and Other).  EITF 08-7 clarifies the definition and accounting for defensive intangible assets acquired in a business combination or an asset acquisition and states that, upon acquisition, an intangible asset must be recognized at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, regardless of how the acquiring entity intends to use the asset.  The intangible asset should be amortized over a useful life approximated by the period over which it is expected to provide direct and indirect cash flows benefits resulting from the limitation against others to use the intangible asset.  EITF 08-7 was effective for the Company as of July 31, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October, 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP FAS 157-3”), which is included in the ASC Topic 820 (Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures).  FSP FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active and addresses application issues such as the use of internal assumptions when relevant observable data does not exist, the use of observable market information when the market is not active, and the use of market quotes when assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable data.  FSP 157-3 was effective for the Company as of October 31, 2008 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”), which is included in the ASC Topic 260 (Earnings Per Share).  FSP EITF 03-6-1 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.  Upon adoption, a company is required to retrospectively adjust its earnings per share data (including any amounts related to interim periods, summaries of earnings and selected financial data) to conform with the provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1.  FSP EITF 03-6-1 was effective for the Company as of July 31, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 08-4, “Transition Guidance for Conforming changes to Issue No. 98-5” (“EITF 08-4”), which is included in the ASC Topic 470 (Debt).  EITF 08-4 specifically identifies the portions of EITF No. 98-5 that were nullified by EITF No. 00-27 and clarifies that instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 150 are no longer within the scope of EITF No. 98-5.  The effect, if any, of applying the conforming changes shall be presented retrospectively with the cumulative-effect of the change being reported in retained earnings in the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first period presented.  EITF 08-4 was effective for the Company as of July 31, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-5”), which is included in the ASC Topic 815 (Derivatives and Hedging).  EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions.  It also clarifies the impact that foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation instruments have on the evaluation.  EITF 07-5 was effective for the Company as of July 31, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2.      Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”).  SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the “GAAP hierarchy”).  SFAS 162 will become effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”  The adoption of this statement did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments that May be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial cash Settlement” (“FSP APB 14-1”), which is included in the ASC Topic 470 (Debt).  FSP APB 14-1 requires that the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects an issuer's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate.  The resulting debt discount is amortized over the period the convertible debt is expected to be outstanding as additional non-cash interest expense.  Retrospective application to all periods presented is required except for instruments that were not outstanding during any of the periods that will be presented in the annual financial statements for the period of adoption but were outstanding during an earlier period.  FSP APB 14-1 was effective for the Company as of July 31, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

On August 21, 2008, Dot VN Company, Ltd. (Danang City), an entity existing under the laws of the Country of Vietnam (“Dot VN Danang”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Dot VN, Inc., entered into a Land Sublease Agreement (the “Land Sublease”) with Massda Land Company Limited, an entity existing under the laws of the Country of Vietnam.  Pursuant to the Land Sublease, Dot VN Danang leases approximately 8,768 square meters of land known as Lot 47, Danang Industrial Zone, Son Tra District, Danang City, Vietnam, for the express purpose of building an Internet data center and related uses, for a term of approximately 35 years expiring September 21, 2043.  Base rent is $32/square meter, excluding value added taxes (“VAT”) and other possible fees and costs, for the term is payable in three installments of 50%, 30% and 20%.  Base rent (excluding VAT) of $140,293, $84,175 and $56,118 was paid September 22, 2008, March 16, 2009 and August 27, 2009, respectively.  Lease expense charged to operations was $7,623 and $5,530 for the years ended April 30, 2010 and 2009.

Dot VN Danang is required to bill and collect from its customers a Ten Percent (10%) VAT.  In addition, Dot VN Danang can offset its obligation to pay the VAT collected from its customers with the VAT it pays to others during the tax reporting period (typically a calendar quarter) and can request a refund, if the net amount overpaid/collected is greater than 200,000,000 VND (approximately $10,500).  On April 22, 2009, for the period from inception through December 31, 2008, Dot VN Danang received a $13,000 refund of VAT paid, principally on the first payment of the Land Sublease.  On November 4, 2009, for the nine month period ending September 30, 2009, Dot VN Danang received a $16,276 refund of VAT paid, principally on the second and final payments of the Land Sublease.  In addition, Dot VN Danang has paid $1,032 of VAT during the seven month period ending April 30, 2010, for which it will request a future refund from the taxing authority.

The Company maintains a credit balance with the VNNIC from which it pays the domain name registration and renewal fees incurred daily.  The balance as of April 30, 2010 and 2009 was $4,934 and $4,130, respectively.

On March 27, 2007, the Company loaned $20,000 to IT.VN, a joint stock company in Vietnam, in exchange for their assistance in establishing Vietnamese subsidiaries of the Company.  The loan does not accrue interest and has no fixed maturity.  On November 29, 2007 and August 20, 2008, the Company, with the assistance of IT.VN, established two (2) foreign limited liability companies under the laws of Vietnam within the provinces of Ho Chi Minh City (Dot VN Company, Ltd. (HCMC)) and Danang City (Dot VN Company, Ltd. (Danang)), respectively, as wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.  On April 27, 2009, IT.VN repaid the $20,000 to the Company.

6.      Notes receivable

During the year ended April 30, 2009, the Company issued an aggregate of 25,000 restricted shares of its Common Stock pursuant to the conversion of $25,000 convertible debenture issued by Spot-On Networks, LLC (“Spot-On”).  On January 31 and February 9, 2007, the Company issued a series of convertible debentures (see Note 11) for an aggregate of $1,148,212 due January 31, 2009 (the “February Financing”) which convert at the option of each individual noteholder (the “February Investors”) into restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $1.00 per share.  The February Financing was funded in conjunction with a like amount of convertible debentures issued concurrently by Spot-On to the February Investors (the “Spot-On Debenture”).  The February Financing terms required that the convertible debentures issued by Spot-On be convertible into either membership units of Spot-On or common stock of the Company, at the option of the February Investors.  Upon the February Investors’ election to convert a Spot-On Debenture into the Company’s Common Stock the Spot-On Debenture is assigned and transferred into the name of the Company (the “Assigned Spot-On Debentures”) at which time the Company issues the Common Stock and records a note receivable.  Future monthly interest payments, at Ten Percent (10%) per annum, accrue for the benefit of the Company; during the years ended April 30, 2010 and 2009 interest of $23,621 and $23,368 has accrued, respectively.  On January 31, 2009, at maturity, the Spot-On Conversion right expired and the Assigned Spot-On Debentures principal and accrued interest was due to be paid by Spot-On.  On January 30, 2009, the Company received a request from Spot-On to (i) extend the maturity date to March 31, 2009 and (ii) waive any defaults under the Assigned Spot-On Debentures or any of the related documents or events of default which are outstanding or have occurred (the “Spot-On Offer”).  The Company did not accept the Spot-On Offer and continues discussing options to receive the full amount due, with accrued interest.  To date the Company has not received any payment from Spot-On on the Assigned Spot-On Debentures and Spot-On is unable to provide the Company with a firm repayment date as they negotiated to raise funds to satisfy their obligation under the Spot-On Debentures.

6.      Notes receivable (continued)

Spot-On is a private company and does not furnish the Company with financial statements to evaluate their ability to pay the Assigned Spot-On Debentures principal and accrued interest, currently in default.  The Company’s ability to collect the Assigned Spot-On Debentures is dependent on Spot-On’s ability to raise additional financing.  Due to the uncertainty of collection the Company has recorded a bad debt expense for the full amount of the Assigned Spot-On Debentures principal and does not record the monthly accrual of interest.  Interest income ($50,819) will be recognized upon collection from Spot-On.

8.      Intangibles assets (continued)

On June 29, 2007, the Company acquired the rights to the Vietnam trademark “Dot VN” from Business.com.VN, Co. Ltd. for 285,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and a convertible note (see Note 11) in the amount of $100,000 due in one year (the “Business.com.VN Agreement”).  The note, which accrues no interest during its one year term, was recorded at its present value based on an 8% interest rate assumption.  The aggregate consideration of $662,336 was recorded as an indefinite lived intangible asset and is not amortized.

On December 21, 2009, the Company filed a U.S. trademark application on “INFO.VN” and paid $325 in filing fees.  The application is still pending.

Indefinite lived assets are not amortized, but instead are evaluated for impairment annually and if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with Codification topic 350-30.  If the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.  After an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of the intangible asset is its new accounting basis.  Subsequent reversal of a previously recognized impairment loss is prohibited.  The change in the carrying amount of intangible assets is as follows:

15.    Income taxes

Due to the Company’s net loss position from inception on March 27, 2001 to April 30, 2010, there was no provision for income taxes recorded.  The following is a reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate:

As a result of the Company’s losses to date, there exists doubt as to the ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets.  Accordingly, a valuation allowance equal to the total deferred tax assets has been recorded at April 30, 2010 and 2009.

At April 30, 2009, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $13,664,621 and $14,989,711, respectively, which may be available to offset future taxable income and which, if not used, begin to expire in 2022.  Utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to substantial annual limitations due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss carry forwards before utilization

16.    Major customer and segment information

No one registrant accounted for approximately 5% of gross revenues for the year ending April 30, 2010 and 2009.

The Company currently operates solely in one industry segment: the marketing and registration of “.vn” domain names for the government of Vietnam.  The Company has operations within Vietnam in support its domain name registration business segment.  The Company’s revenue is concentrated on the Vietnamese ccTLD “.vn”, creating a risk of concentration associated with the revenue of a single service (see Note 2).  The loss of this single service could cause severe damage to the financial future.  The Company will operate in additional segments when it commences future operation of Internet advertising; Internet data centers/micro-modular data centers; or virtual fiber, a wireless point-to-point layer one solution.

21.  Going concern

To date the Company has had limited revenues from the marketing and registration of ‘.vn’ domain names as it operates in this single industry segment.  Consequently, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations.  In addition, the Company has defaulted on two (2) convertible debentures aggregating $112,500 that were due January 31, 2009 (see Notes 11 and 12) and currently has not negotiated new terms or an extension of the due date on the Defaulted Debentures.  These factors, as well as the risks associated with raising capital through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities creates uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s plans to address its going concern issues include:
 
·
Increasing revenues of its services, specifically within its domain names registration business segment through:
 
o
the development and deployment of an Application Programming Interface which the Company anticipates will increase its reseller network and international distribution channels,
 
o
through direct marketing to existing customers both online, via e-mail and direct mailings, and
 
o
the commercialize of a pay-per-click (“PPC”) parking page program for ‘.vn’ domain registrations;
 
·
Develop the INFO.VN web platform as a central hub for the best content the Vietnamese Internet has to offer and which will also serve as a platform through which we will launch a variety of new online services and web properties, to include Internet advertising;
 
·
Completion and operation of the IDCs based on micro-modular data centers technology and revenue derived from the IDC services;
 
·
Commercialization and deployment of certain new technologies:
 
o
multi-gigabit capacity virtual fiber systems, a wireless point-to-point layer one solution, and
 
o
micro-modular data centers solutions; and
 
·
Raising capital through the sale of debt and/or equity securities.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to increase revenues, issue debt and/or equity securities for cash or as payment for outstanding obligations.  Capital raising efforts may be influenced by factors outside of the control of the Company, including, but not limited to, capital market conditions.
