(a) Disposition of VIEs

 

To comply with PRC laws and regulations, on March 18, 2008, the Company entered into exclusive technical service agreements (VIE agreements) with Dalian Winland International Shipping Agency Co., Ltd. (“DWIS”), Dalian Winland International Logistics Co., Ltd. (“DWIL”), and Dalian Shipping Online Network Co., Ltd. (“DSON” or “Shipping Online”), each VIE of which is incorporated in the PRC, pursuant to which the Company provided technical and other services to DWIS, DWIL and DSON in exchange for substantially all net income of DWIS, DWIL and DSON. All voting rights of DWIS, DWIL and DSON were assigned to the Company, and the Company had the right to appoint all directors and senior management personnel of DWIS, DWIL and DSON. In addition, the shareholders of DWIS, DWIL and DSON had pledged their equity interests in DWIS, DWIL and DSON as collateral to the Company for the non-payment of the fees for technical and other services due to the Company.

 

On February 16, 2011, the Company voluntarily entered into a Termination of Services Agreement with such VIEs (DWIS, DWIL and DSON) and the stockholders of the VIEs, whereby it voluntarily disposed of its Online Services business by terminating its control of the VIEs. The stockholders of the VIEs paid the Company a termination fee of RMB1,000,000 ($151,319) as consideration. It was the Company’s management decision to dispose of the VIEs in light of the fact that it was in the best interests of the Company to focus on its core businesses of dry bulk shipping and charter brokerage services.

 

After the termination of services, the VIEs are ultimately 100% controlled by Mr. Li Hong Lin and Ms. Xue Ying, the Chairman and CEO of the Company, and the majority shareholder of the Company. Such disposition is considered a transfer of a significant amount of assets based on the value of such assets at the time of disposition between entities under common control and the Company recorded the difference between the consideration given and the net assets of the VIEs of $2,752,567 from the transaction as a reduction of shareholders’ equity.
