PACIFICNET INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts expressed in United States dollars unless otherwise stated)

 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Description of Operations - PacificNet Inc. (referred to herein as "PacificNet" or the "Company") a leading provider of CRM and telecom services, ecommerce and gaming technology in Hong Kong, Macao, and China. Through our subsidiaries, PacificNet provides outsourcing services, telecom (VAS) services, products (telecom & gaming) services and the design and distribution of entertainment kiosks and gaming machines. Our business process outsourcing (BPO) services include call centers, providing customer relationship management (CRM), mail order direct marketing and telemarketing services, and our information technology outsourcing (ITO) includes software programming and development. We are also a provider of value-added telecom services in China, which is comprised of interactive voice response (IVR) systems, call center management systems, and voice over Internet protocol (VOIP), short messaging services (SMS), multimedia messaging services (MMS), wireless application protocol (WAP), mobile internet and 3G services. The Company's operations are primarily based in China, including Hong Kong and Macau Special Administrative Region and Asian markets.
 
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2005, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. You should read these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the audited financial statements, including the notes thereto, and the other information set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2005. The condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PacificNet Inc. and its subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s interim results have been reflected. PacificNet’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB includes certain definitions and a summary of significant accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with this report. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results. 
 
Use of Estimates - The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123-R, Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123(R)”). SFAS 123(R) replaces SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123(R) requires, among other things, that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of stock options, be measured based on their grant-date fair value and recognized as expense. Effective January 1, 2006, PacificNet adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective application method. Under this transition method, compensation expense recognized for the quarter September 30, 2006, includes the applicable amounts of: (a) compensation expense of all stock-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 (based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123 and previously presented in pro forma footnote disclosures), and (b) compensation expense for all stock-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 (based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the new provisions of SFAS 123(R)). Results for periods prior to January 1, 2006, have not been restated. See Note 6 for further details.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (“SFAS 155”). This statement amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”), and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities and resolves issues addressed in SFAS 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interest in Securitized Financial Assets.” This Statement: (a) permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; (b) clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133; (c) establishes a requirement to evaluate beneficial interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; (d) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and, (e) eliminates restrictions on a qualifying special-purpose entity’s ability to hold passive derivative financial instruments that pertain to beneficial interests that are or contain a derivative financial instrument. The standard also requires presentation within the financial statements that identifies those hybrid financial instruments for which the fair value election has been applied and information on the income statement impact of the changes in fair value of those instruments. The Company is required to apply SFAS 155 to all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a re-measurement event beginning January 1, 2007, although early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year. The Company is evaluating the provisions of SFAS 155. The effects of adopting of SFAS 155 on the Company’s financial statements are not known at this time.
 
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This Interpretation requires that the Company recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for the Company on January 1, 2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle, if any, recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on its consolidated financial position, cash flows and results of operations.  
 
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.
 
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) amounts in the financial statements are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and other dilutive securities. Dilutive EPS for third quarter of 2006 exclude the potential dilutive effect of 889,456 warrants because their impact would be anti-dilutive based on current market prices. 800,000 convertible debentures are tested by using if-converted method. The result shows when convertible debentures are included in the computation, diluted EPS increases. According to SFAS No.128, those convertible debentures are ignored in the computation of diluted EPS. All per share and per share information are adjusted retroactively to reflect stock splits and changes in par value.

The repurchase of the shares was proposed by Yueshen and was unanimously agreed by the both parties.
 
6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
Prior to January 1, 2006, PacificNet accounted for awards granted under stock-based compensation plans following the recognition and measurement principles of APB 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation expense was recognized for awards granted at an exercise price less than fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2006, PacificNet adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R). See Note 2 for a description of the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123R. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is consistent with the valuation techniques previously utilized for options in footnote disclosures required under SFAS 123, as amended by FASB Statement No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure.” The determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The compensation costs, which approximated $120,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, are recognized on a straight-line base over the option vesting term and the amortized cost is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. PacificNet elected the modified prospective method and therefore has not restated results for prior periods. The valuation provisions of SFAS 123(R) apply to new grants and unvested grants that were outstanding as of the effective date.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company granted 500,000 new stock options, 100,000 options were exercised, and zero options were cancelled. See note 5 b) for the status of the Company’s stock option plan.

7. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
 
On March 13, 2006, we completed a private placement in which we sold $8,000,000 in convertible debentures and issued warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 400,000 shares of common stock. The debentures are convertible at any time into shares of our common stock at an initial fixed conversion price of $10.00 per share, subject to adjustments for certain dilutive events. The debentures are due March 13, 2009. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $12.20 per share. At the closing of the private placement, we prepaid the first year's interest on debentures equal to 5% of the aggregate principal amount of debentures. We will pay interest in cash or shares, provided that certain conditions are met, at the rate of 6% for the second year the debentures are outstanding and then 7% for the third. Beginning January 1, 2007, we are obligated to redeem up to $320,000 every month, plus accrued, but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and penalties. We also have the option to prepay the debentures at any time, provided that certain conditions have been met, after the 12 month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement that has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures, some or all of the outstanding debentures for cash in an amount equal to 120% of the principal amount outstanding, plus accrued, but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and penalties outstanding. At any time after the six month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement, we may force the holders to convert up to 50% of the then outstanding principal amount of the debentures, subject to certain trading conditions being met. If any event of default occurs under the debentures or other related documents, the holders may elect to accelerate the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the debenture, plus accrued, but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and penalties, which shall become immediately due and payable.

The convertible debt obligates the Company to file a registration statement with respect to the shares issuable under the convertible debt note. Due to various factors, as of September 30, 2006, the Company had not filed such a registration statement. Accordingly, the terms of the convertible note obligate the Company to pay liquidated damages to the convertible debenture investors at the rate of 2% of the principal amount of the convertible per month, or $160,000. As of September 30, 2006, the Company has determined to accrue five months of liquidated damages or approximately $800,000, although it is possible that the Company may not ultimately need to pay the full amount of liquidated damages.  The amount has been reflected in the consolidated financial statements as a separate line item on the consolidated balance sheet as “liquidated damages liability” and as a separate line item on the consolidated statement of operations as “liquidated damages expense”.

C.E. Unterberg, Towbin L.L.C. acted as placement agent and received a negotiated cash fee in the amount of $449,500 and a warrant to purchase up to 16,000 shares at an exercise price of $12.20 per share, which expire five years from the date of issuance. The fair value of these warrants totaled $28,952 and such amount was charged to other assets, net, and will be amortized over the life of the debentures and credited to additional paid-in capital during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Maxim Group also acted as Placement Agent and received a cash fee in the amount of $50,000.
 
In connection with the issuance of the debentures, the Company incurred $1,106,000 of issuance costs, which primarily consisted of investment banker fees, legal and other professional fees. These costs are being amortized and are recorded as additional expense through three years, the scheduled date on which holders have the option to require the Company to repurchase the debentures. Amortization expense related to the issuance costs during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $93,000 and $179,000, respectively. At September 30, 2006, net debt issuance costs associated with the debentures was $927,000 and is recorded in Other assets, net.

The gross proceeds of $8,000,000 are recorded as a debenture liability. In addition, fair values attributed to the Investors’ warrants and to the embedded conversion feature in accordance with EITF issue No. 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock” are recorded as liabilities. The debt discount consisted of an initial $690,642 value related to the Investors’ warrants and a $1,145,640 value attributed to the compound embedded derivatives liability, as well as the warrants liability. An aggregate gain of $1,211,583 representing the change in fair value of these derivative liabilities was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
 
In accordance with recent FASB guidance, due to certain factors, including a liquidated damages provision in the registration rights agreement, the Company values and accounts for the embedded conversion feature and the warrants related to the debentures as derivatives. Accordingly, these derivative liabilities are measured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings as long as they remain classified as liabilities. The Company reassesses the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification required under EITF No. 00-19 changes as a result of events during the period, the contract should be reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

The terms of these related parties loan receivables and payables are summarized below:
 
LOAN TO TAKE 1 (Cheer Era)
 
Take 1 is an affiliated company and is 20% owned by PacificNet as of September 30, 2006. A convertible loan of $1,026,000 is outstanding from Take 1 as of September 30, 2006. Conversion terms of the convertible loan provide PacificNet an option at any time during the Term to convert in part or in whole of the then outstanding loan principle up to $1,026,000 (or HKD$8,000,000) into shares of Take 1 to reach 51% ownership of Take 1. The loan was extended as a working capital loan to finance the expansion of Take 1's business in Europe and North America.

LOAN TO PACIFICNET GAMES
 
PacGames is an affiliated company that is 45% owned by PacificNet as of September 30, 2006. A loan of approximately $128,000 is outstanding as of September 30, 2006 and is due and payable on July 31, 2007. Payment is due in equal monthly installments of approximately $11,752 which include principal repayments and an implied interest rate of 10%.

LOAN TO YUESHEN'S SHAREHOLDER
 
As of September 30, 2006, there was a $1,249,000 loan receivable due from the shareholder of Yueshen, a subsidiary of the Company. The purpose of the loan was to repay the working capital loan owed by the predecessor of Yueshen prior to PacificNet's acquisition, and to finance Yueshen shareholder's other projects. This loan is collateralized with 106,240 PacificNet shares owned by the shareholder of Yueshen.

The Company has been experiencing difficulty recovering the loan receivable due from Yueshen’s shareholder. Specifically, the Company and the shareholder disagree over the outstanding balance owed and are in ongoing discussions about recovering the loan amount. As the Company still believes that it has a high probability of recovering the debt, it has continued to record the amount of the loan receivable at the full historical cost. Nevertheless, the Company will continue to closely monitor the repayment of the loan.

Subsequently, such assets were returned back to the shareholders. In the opinion of management, even though the capital requirement is not currently fulfilled, Dianxun can continue to carry on business. No provision for any loss arising from the consequential actions that may be taken by the authority in the PRC and any potential penalties or claims for the Company not maintaining the minimum stated capital requirements of the PRC have been made in these financial statements.

12. INVENTORY
 
Inventories of approximately $2 million consist primarily of finished goods and represent telecommunication products such as mobile phone, rechargeable phone cards, smart chip, and interactive voice response cards and are accounted for using the first-in, first out (FIFO) method. Most inventories are held by the Company’s Linkhead subsidiary.

In the beginning of the third quarter of 2006, the Chinese government announced that it would implement several new policies regarding mobile phone value-added service providers effective July 10, 2006. These policies include a “double confirmation” policy and the requirement that value-added service providers provide one-month trial subscriptions. By requiring that mobile phone customers “double-confirm” their intention to purchase services, and by requiring free subscriptions, the Chinese government has negatively affected value-added service providers.

Since the Company sells hardware to value-added service providers that have been negatively affected by the new mobile phone policies, during the three months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded an adjustment to inventory of $486,000. The write down was considered prudent after an assessment by the Company’s internal control team determined that the inventory was considered not readily saleable as a result of the recent government policy restrictions.

Although the Chinese government appeared to lessen restrictions by the end of the third quarter, the effect of lesser demand already necessitated a write-down of inventory.

13. INCOME TAXES
 
The Company is registered in the state of Delaware and has operations in primarily three tax jurisdictions - the PRC, Hong Kong and the United States. For operations in the United States of America, Hong Kong and Taiwan, the Company has incurred net accumulated operating loss for income tax purposes. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that these net accumulated operating loss will not be utilized in the future. Therefore, the Company has provided full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets arising from the losses at these locations as of September 30, 2006. Accordingly, the Company has no net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2006.

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
Stock Option Exercise
 
On October 1, 2006, PacificNet issued 25,000 shares of common stock as a result of stock option exercise in accordance to PacificNet’s stock option plan.

Allink Hong Kong Limited
 
On August 11, 2006, PacificNets wholly owned subsidiary PacificNet Communications Limited (PacCom) agreed to the acquisition of 80% of Allink Hong Kong Limited (Allink, Chinese name “瘺瑑濦晧港有榰公司”), a leading provider of security and surveillance technology and services based in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China, through the issuance of 200,000 restricted shares of PacificNet Inc. If the transaction is completed, PacificNet Inc. will own 80% of Allink. Under the purchase agreement, Allink has committed to generate an annual profit of HKD$3,000,000 (approx USD$385,000) and will provide for an adjustment to the purchase price if the Allink does not achieve an annual net profit of HKD$3,000,000. Allink operates one of the leading CCTV communication and security surveillance technology and services provider utilizing extra low voltage technology for property management companies in Hong Kong and Macau, China. The transaction was originally expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2006, however since the necessary due diligence has not been completed, the Company has been unable to consummate the merger.

The consideration to be paid follows:
 
  (1)  
The purchase consideration for 80% of the equity interest of the Company is payable entirely (100%) in restricted shares of PACT, equivalent to 200,000 restricted PACT shares.
 
  (2)  
The purchase price is payable upon achievement of certain quarterly earn-out targets based on net profits.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
 
Our discussion and analysis or plan of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these 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 on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable reserves, provisions for impairment losses of affiliated companies and other intangible assets, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates 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.
 
Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
 
Allowance For Doubtful Accounts
 
We evaluate the collectibility of our trade receivables based on a combination of factors. We regularly analyze our significant customer accounts, and, when we become aware of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations to us, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial position, we record a specific reserve for bad debt to reduce the related receivable to the amount we reasonably believe is collectible. We also record reserves for bad debt for all other customers based on a variety of factors including the length of time the receivables are past due, the financial health of the customer, macroeconomic considerations and historical experience. If circumstances related to specific customers change, our estimates of the recoverability of receivables could be further adjusted. In the event that our trade receivables become uncollectible, we would be forced to record additional adjustments to receivables to reflect the amounts at net realizable value. The accounting effect of this entry would be a charge to earnings, thereby reducing our net earnings. Although we consider the likelihood of this occurrence to be remote based on past history and the current status of our accounts, there is a possibility of this occurrence.
  
26

In the beginning of the third quarter of 2006, the Chinese government announced that it would implement several new policies regarding mobile phone value-added service providers effective from July 10, 2006. These policies include a “double confirmation” policy and the requirement that value-added service providers provide one-month trial subscriptions. By requiring that mobile phone customers “double-confirm” their intention to purchase services, and by requiring free subscriptions, the Chinese government has negatively affected value-added service providers.

Since the Company does business with several value-added service providers that have been negatively affected by the new mobile phone policies, during the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company decided to incur a bad debt charge of approximately $657,000. This amount is listed as a separate line item in the consolidated statement of operations. The write down was considered prudent after an assessment by the Company’s internal control team that several customer accounts may be uncollectible as a result of Chinese government pressure on value-added service providers.

Although the Chinese government appeared to lessen restrictions by the end of the third quarter, the negative affect on the ability of certain of the Company’s customers to pay on accounts receivable already necessitated a provision for uncollectible accounts.

Inventory

Our inventory purchases and commitments are made in order to build inventory to meet forecasted demand for our products. We perform a detailed assessment of inventory for each period, which includes a review of, among other factors, demand requirements, product life cycle and development plans, component cost trends, product pricing and quality issues. Based on this analysis, we record adjustments to inventory for excess, obsolescence or impairment, when appropriate, to reflect inventory at net realizable value. Revisions to our inventory adjustments may be required if actual demand, component costs or product life cycles differ from our estimates. In the event we were unable to sell our products, the demand for our products diminished, and/or other competitors offered similar or better products, we would be forced to record an adjustment to inventory for impairment or obsolescence to reflect inventory at net realizable value. The accounting effect of this entry would be a charge to earnings, thereby reducing our net earnings.

In the beginning of the third quarter of 2006, the Chinese government announced that it would implement several new policies regarding mobile phone value-added service providers effective July 10, 2006. These policies include a “double confirmation” policy and the requirement that value-added service providers provide one-month trial subscriptions. By requiring that mobile phone customers “double-confirm” their intention to purchase services, and by requiring free subscriptions, the Chinese government has negatively affected value-added service providers.

Since the Company sells hardware to value-added service providers that have been negatively affected by the new mobile phone policies, during the three months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded an adjustment to inventory of $486,000. The write down was considered prudent after an assessment by the Company’s internal control team determined that the inventory was considered not readily saleable as a result of the recent government policy restrictions.

Although the Chinese government appeared to lessen restrictions by the end of the third quarter, the effect of lesser demand already necessitated a write-down of inventory.

Income Taxes
 
We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We have considered future market growth, forecasted earnings, future taxable income, and the mix of earnings in the jurisdictions in which we operate and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in determining the need for a valuation allowance. We currently have recorded a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets as we currently believe it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the event we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to earnings in the period such determination is made. Likewise, if we later determine that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets would be realized, the previously provided valuation allowance would be reversed.

27

Contingencies
 
We may be subject to certain asserted and unasserted claims encountered in the normal course of business. It is our belief that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations, however, we cannot provide assurance that damages that result in a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations will not be imposed in these matters. We account for contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.
 
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets Including Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets
 
We review property, plant and equipment, goodwill and purchased intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Our asset impairment review assesses the fair value of the assets based on the future cash flows the assets are expected to generate. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset (if any) are less than the carrying value of the asset. This approach uses our estimates of future market growth, forecasted revenue and costs, expected periods the assets will be utilized and appropriate discount rates. Such evaluations of impairment of long-lived assets including goodwill arising on a business combination and purchased intangible assets are an integral part of, but not limited to, our strategic reviews of our business and operations performed in conjunction with restructuring actions. When an impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. Deterioration of our business in a geographic region or within a business segment in the future could also lead to impairment adjustments as such issues are identified. The accounting effect of an impairment loss would be a charge to earnings, thereby reducing our net earnings.  

Convertible Debt
 
In accordance with recent FASB accounting guidance, due to certain factors, including a liquidated damages provision in the registration rights agreement and an indeterminate amount of shares to be issued upon conversion of the debentures, the Company values and accounts for the embedded conversion feature related to the Debentures, the Investors’ warrants, and the registration rights as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, these derivative liabilities are measured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings as long as they remain classified as liabilities. The Company reassesses the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification required under EITF No. 00-19 changes as a result of events during the period, the contract should be reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.
 
The fair value of these derivative instruments, as determined by applying the Black-Scholes valuation model, is adjusted quarterly. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Additionally, although the Black-Scholes model meets the requirements of SFAS 133, the fair values generated by the model may not be indicative of the actual fair values as our derivative instruments have characteristics significantly different from traded options. Accordingly, the results obtained could be significantly different if other assumptions were used. The effect of this entry would be a charge to net earnings, thereby either increasing or reducing our net earnings based upon the assumptions used and the results obtained.

NATURE OF THE OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY

NATURE OF BUSINESS.

PacificNet Inc. is a leading provider of CRM and telecom services, ecommerce and gaming technology in China. We were incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1987. Our business consists of three groups, all of which operate within the outsourcing and telecommunications industries in Asia, primarily greater China, which includes the People's Republic of China (PRC), or mainland China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), Macau Special Administrative Region, and Taiwan and one group that focuses on primarily administrative and corporate related matters. Through our subsidiaries we provide outsourcing services, telecom (VAS) services, and products (telecom & gaming) services. Our business process outsourcing (BPO) services include call centers providing customer relationship management (CRM) and telemarketing services, and our information technology outsourcing (ITO) includes software programming and development. We are value-added resellers and providers of telecom VAS, which comprises interactive voice response (IVR) systems, call center management systems, and VOIP, as well as mobile phone VAS, such as short messaging services (SMS) and multimedia messaging services (MMS). In 2004, we commenced our communication products distribution service, through wholesale and, to a lesser extent, retail sale and distribution of mobile phones, software and hardware, mobile accessories, and calling cards in Hong Kong and China. In 2005, we invested Take1Technologies (Cheer Era), a company that designs, manufactures, and distributes multimedia interactive self-service kiosks, bingo and gaming machines for the casino and slot machine operators Europe and Asia.
In 2006, we invested in PacificNet Games Limited (PacGames), a leading provider of Asian multi-player electronic gaming machines, gaming technology solutions and gaming related maintenance, IT and distribution services for the leading hotel, casino and slot hall operators based in Macau, China and other Asian gaming markets. Macau is expected to surpass Las Vegas in total revenues by 2006. Currently, table games make up the bulk of Macau casino revenues, which is in sharp contrast to other areas such as Las Vegas. PacGames is a leading developer of electronic versions of these popular table games which are less expensive to run resulting in higher casino profits with great appeal to the mass market players. Further, the growing market in Macau is for Asian table games such as Baccarat, Roulette, Fan Tan, Fish-Prawn-Crab and Sic-Bo Cussec as these games have wider acceptance in the Asian market than Western games such as poker or slots. The development, manufacturing, maintenance, and service of electronic Asian table games are underserved areas which are predicted to grow considerably as Macau's gaming market matures. PacGames products include multi-play electronic gaming machines such as Baccarat, Fish-Prawn-Crab, Sib-Bo Cussec, Roulette, and Video Lottery Terminals (VLT) such as Keno and Bingo, as well as other traditional slot machines. We intend to continue to grow our business by acquiring and managing growing technology and network communications businesses with established products and customers in Asia.  

Our business process outsourcing services generate revenue from call center services, call center management software sales, and training and consulting. We invoice our call center clients monthly at per seat monthly rates, a base price plus commission per call, or a per hour charge rate, depending on the client's preference. Our call center software clients pay per license, for which there is usually a one-time charge on sale of the software and annual maintenance fees for service. We charge per project for our consulting and training services and for our telecom VAS, which are invoiced throughout the project. Our telecom VAS often includes a post-sale service contract for systems integration and consulting services for which we bill separately. Our communication products such as calling cards, kiosks and cell phones are sold cash-on-delivery. Our gaming center operations generate revenue through the sale of gaming machines to casinos, or through resellers who sell to casinos. Currently we do not consolidate gaming operations as we do not currently hold a controlling interest in the gaming operations, but a 45% interest.

Our clients include the leading telecom operators, banks, insurance, travel, marketing, and service companies, as well as telecom consumers, in Greater China. Clients include China Telecom, China Netcom, China Mobile, China Unicom, PCCW, Hutchison Telecom, CSL, SmarTone, Sunday, Swire Travel, Coca-Cola, SONY, Samsung, Motorola, Nokia, TNT Express, Huawei, TCL, Dun & Bradstreet, American Express, Bank of China, DBS, Hong Kong Government, and Hongkong Post. PacificNet employs over 2,300 staff in our various subsidiaries in China with offices in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou.

29

PacificNet's operations include the following four groups:
 
(1) Outsourcing Services: including Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), call center, IT Outsourcing (ITO) and software development services.

THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 COMPARED TO THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005
 
REVENUES. Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $12,875,000 and $47,239,000, an increase of 17% and 45% from $11,047,000 and $32,539,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2006, revenues of $3,733,000, $2,350,000, $6,411,000 and $10,312,000, $14,907,000, $18,262,000 were derived from the services rendered by the Company's three operating units: Outsourcing Services, Telecom Value-Added Services, and Products (Telecom & Gaming), respectively. The revenues in product sales during the third quarter of 2006 increased by 21% and 37% compared to the same periods of 2005. The revenues in services sales during the third quarter of 2006 increased by 11% and 56% compared to the same periods of 2005.
 
The increase in revenue was mainly due to the following:
 
(1)  
Outsourcing services: The year-over-year increase in outsourcing services for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily due to 44% and 30% growth in Epro compared to the same period in 2005. During the first nine months of 2006, the outsourcing contract center in Hong Kong was at nearly full utilization. Driven by strong gains in outbound services, insourcing services and facilities management services, Epro recorded double digit gains in revenue. As salaries continue to rise in Hong Kong and China, companies are under greater pressure to manage their labor costs. Outsourcing has become an attractive tool for companies in the region to manage these costs. Additionally, the Company signed deals with several new clients, including a deal to provide customer service operation management training for NanJing Airlines. The McDonalds Corporation selected the Company to provide web-based quality management services and supplier quality management services.
 
(2)  
Separately, stricter guidelines established by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) led to a decrease in the Company’s ability to market its investment consulting services to retail audiences, which resulted in revenue underperformance. Nevertheless, although barriers remain on marketing through television, the Company has successfully expanded its use of stored-value cards to maintain its market position. Due to its large and loyal retail following, the Company believes it can work through the current regulatory environment. Additionally, the Company has shifted its marketing emphasis to the internet and to magazines.
 
(3)  
Products (Telecom & Gaming): iMobile added approximately $863,000 and $1,326,000, or accounted for 13% and 7% in this segments revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, in which its major business included internet sales of mobile phone and accessories. The revenues from the sales of Motorola and Nokia contributed 95% of iMobile’s total revenues during the third quarter of 2006. The Company’s 18900.com website has now become one of the leading Internet e-commerce distributor of mobile products in China, covering 1,572 cities throughout the nation. Additionally, during the third quarter, PacificNet iMobile entered into a new agreement with Motorola to become a designated after-sales service provider for Motorola’s mobile products and accessories in China.
 
Continued strength in the Company’s Hong Kong mobile phone wholesaler subsidiary drove sales gains. The Company believes its Hong Kong mobile phone wholesale subsidiary is now one of the top five largest wholesalers of mobile phones in Hong Kong, and its position has attracted numerous overseas wholesale buyers.
 
(4)  
The remaining incremental revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to respective period was derived from organic growth from existing subsidiaries, such as PacPower ($176,000 and $2,650,000) and PacificNet Limited ($124,000 and $949,000).
 
31

Acquisitions during the first nine month of 2006 expanded PacificNet’s position as a leading provider of e-commerce, customer services and CRM in China's mobile distribution market, and increased our e-commerce and VAS revenues and our nationwide CRM service coverage. Several of our businesses experienced fluctuations in quarterly performance.

COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $10,392,000 and $33,352,000, an increase of 17% and 28% from $8,852,000 and $25,979,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. The cost of revenues in services sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased by 8% and 14%, respectively, and  cost of revenues in product sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased by 23% and 36%, respectively, in each case compared with the respective period in 2005. The increase is directly associated with the corresponding increase in revenues. In comparison to the same period last year, the majority of the costs associated with revenues were from Shanghai Classic, PacCom and Epro. Cost of goods sold increased as sales at the Company’s mobile phone subsidiaries increased.
 
32

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $2,483,000 and $13,887,000, a significant increase of 13% and 112% as compared to $2,195,000 and $6,560,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. Gross margin was 19% and 29% of total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to 20% and 20% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. As explained above, the improvement in gross margin for three and nine months periods from the prior periods was primarily due to increased contributions from higher margin subsidiaries. As a result of the shift in operations, we had lower revenue and higher than normal profit margin for project outsourcing during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. We believe that our overall gross margins approximate the industry standards and we expect our gross margin percentage to increase gradually as a result of cost reduction and greater efficiencies in our utilization of assets.

As part of its strategy of shifting to higher-margin businesses, the Company is increasingly focusing on the gaming businesses. Gross profit margins from the company’s new PacGames subsidiary are currently more than 50%.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $2,482,000 and $9,982,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of 147% and 206% from $1,004,000 and $3,261,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of staff salaries, rent, insurance and traveling costs. The year-over-year increase in total general and administrative expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was mainly due to the increase in staff costs as well as rent and electricity expenses for the expansion of its call center (Epro accounted for 11% of total selling, general and administrative expenses). The marketing expenses and staff cost from the new 3G service and Wanrong’s services also significantly affected the total expenses during the third quarter of 2006 accounting for approximately 9% of the total selling, general and administrative expenses. Additionally, Linkhead accounted for 9% of the total selling, general and administrative expenses.

The significant increase for general and administrative expenses from PacificNet Inc. year-over-year for the first nine months of 2006 was also partly due to $120,043 of vesting option expense for compensation cost amortization, $92,740 amortization cost from $8 million convertible debt issuance cost (3 years amortization) and depreciation cost from Beijing Time court (USD1.6m depreciated through 40 years). Additionally, there is approximately $127,532 financial expense for PacificNet Inc. Such expense consists of (1) convertible debt interest, in which 5% is prepaid interest expense, $100,000 is expensed in Q3 2006 and the following three quarters (Q4 2006 and Q1 2007); and (2) the bank loan interest for Beijing Time Court ($14,347) in which the total amount of its bank loan is $1,082,000.

EARNINGS/ (LOSS) FROM OPERATIONS. On a year-over-year basis, loss from operations decreased 304% and 49% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. Operating earnings/(loss) of $113,000, $(833,000), and $(191,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were generated from the Company's three business units: (1) CRM Outsourcing Services, (2) Telecom Value-Added Services, and (3) Products (Telecom & Gaming) Services, respectively. This compares to operating earnings/(loss) of $217,000, $824,000 and $172,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. Various factors affected operating earnings during the third quarter of 2006, including increased capital expenditures resulting in greater non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization expenses. As the Company expanded its call center sites in Hong Kong, amortization and depreciation expenses related to the new leasehold improvement, furniture & fixtures, computer equipment and software incurred in the first nine months of 2006 also increased. The increase in fixed assets also included a recorder monitor system, DVCAM, computer equipment. We continued to shift our business from our traditional lower-margin distribution business (B2B services) to higher margin value-added telecom services and B2C e-commerce. We believe that the Company has made substantial progress in a relatively short period of time which has been demonstrated by our increase in both gross and operating margins in the third quarter. Furthermore, the acquisition of majority interests in both iMobile and Guangzhou Wanrong during the first quarter enhanced our position in the rapidly growing B2C market in China.
 
33

INCOME TAXES. Income tax provision was $(119,000) and $(319,000) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $13,000 and $(51,000) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. Interim income tax provisions are based upon management’s estimate of taxable income and the resulting consolidated effective income tax rate for the full year. As a result, such interim estimates are subject to change as the year progresses and more information becomes available. We expect our income taxes to increase as our net earnings increase and the tax holidays we have benefited from in Hong Kong and the PRC expire.
 
MINORITY INTERESTS. Minority interests for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 totaled $529,000 and $(1,405,000) compared with $(612,000) and $(1,916,000) for the same period in the prior year, representing outside ownership interests in subsidiaries that is consolidated with the parent for financial reporting purposes.
 
NET EARNINGS / (LOSS). Overall net loss year-over-year increased 282% and 62% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. The Company’s results for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 included a total of $2,400,000 in non-cash expenses, including depreciation and amortization expense of $994,000 and $179,000 non-cash stock-based compensation expense recognized during 2006 as a result of the implementation of SFAS 123(R), which we adopted effective on January 1, 2006, The Company’s quarterly results also included a total of $1,341,000 in non-cash expenses, including depreciation and amortization expense of $388,000. Each of our subsidiaries and investments, including Epro, Smartime, Guangzhou 3G, Clickcom, ChinaGoHi, iMobile, PacificNet Communications, PacificNet Limited and PacificNet Power were profitable.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS.
 
As of September 30, 2006, cash and cash equivalents were $7,439,000, compared to $9,579,000 at December 31, 2005 as a result of the decrease of cash and cash equivalents of more than $2.3million for Lion Zone. The significant reduction for Lion Zone was primarily attributed to a loan to a related party of approximately $2.3million, acquisition of property and equipment, and taxes paid. The loan for Lion Zone is a related party advance with no fixed maturity date and captioned under “Loans receivable from related Parties” in the consolidated balance sheet.
 
WORKING CAPITAL.
 
The Company’s working capital increased to $28,106,000 at September 30, 2006, as compared to $20,510,000 at December 31, 2005. When compared to balances at December 31, 2005, an increase of 37.04% in working capital at September 30, 2006 was primarily due to the increases in current assets and the decrease in current liabilities accounts. The increase of current assets was mainly the result of significant increase in accounts receivable which was attributable to our existing subsidiaries and a significant increase in loan receivable from related parties. The decrease of current liabilities was primarily due to the decrease of accrual expense and other payable. The increase of accounts receivable at September 30, 2006 was mainly driven from the increase of $2,020,000 from PacPower (due to the revenues from Light Eco and Pure Air projects), the increase of $2,224,000 from PacCom, and the increase of $523,000 from Epro.
 
34

NET CASH FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES.
 
Net cash (used in) operating activities was $(6,416,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $133,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Net cash used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily due to net earnings of $604,000 offset by noncash items such as minority interest of $1,405,000, depreciation and amortization of $1,173,000, decrease in charge in fair value of derivatives of 1,212,000, provision for allowance for doubtful accounts of $657,000, inventory write down of $486,000, equity profit of associated company of $129,000, provision for income tax of $(183,000), amortization of interest discount of $307,000, and liquidated damages expense of $800,000 offset by a net decrease in working capital items of $10,444,000. The decrease in working capital was mainly due to a decrease in accounts receivable and other current assets of $8,281,000 and a decrease in inventories of $572,000 which mainly resulted from higher revenues and a net decrease in account payables and accrued expenses of $1,591,000 which was primarily due to the decrease in accrued expenses and income tax payable.
 
NET CASH FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $(4,811,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $(3,250,000) for the comparative prior period. Net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily due to the acquisition of property and equipment from the company, PACT strategic and PACT Limited totaling $(3,806,000), and a decrease in acquisition of subsidiaries and affiliated companies of $419,000, offset by the release of the restricted cash of $1,420,000, an increase of $353,000 for loan receivables from third parties and an decrease of $2,359,000 for loan receivables from related parties.
 
NET CASH FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $8,805,000, which was mainly due to the proceeds from issuance of convertible debenture of $7,500,000 and the exercise of the share options and warrants of $174,000, an increase in bank loan of $1,152,000 and an increase in loans payable to related party of $4,000 and repurchase of treasury shares of $(124,000), an increase in amount borrowed under capital lease obligations of $77,000 and bank line of credit of $22,000. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $1,521,000 which was primarily a result of an increase in proceeds from exercise of stock options and warrants of $981,000, increase in loans from related party of $513,000, and an increase in amount borrowed under capital lease obligations of $29,000.
 
INFLATION. Inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's business in recent years.
 
CURRENCY EXCHANGE FLUCTUATIONS.
 
All of the Company's revenues are denominated either in U.S. dollars or Hong Kong dollars, while its expenses are denominated primarily in Hong Kong dollars and Renminbi ("RMB"), the currency of the People's Republic of China. The value of the RMB-to-U.S. dollar or Hong Kong dollar-to-United States dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions. Since 1994, the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, has been based on rates set by the People's Bank of China, which are set daily based on the previous day's interbank foreign exchange market rates and current exchange rates on the world financial markets. Since 1994, the official exchange rate generally has been stable. Recently there has been increased political pressure on the Chinese government to decouple the RMB from the United States dollar. Although a devaluation of the Hong Kong dollar or RMB relative to the United States dollar would likely reduce the Company's expenses (as expressed in United States dollars), any material increase in the value of the Hong Kong dollar or RMB relative to the United States dollar would increase the Company's expenses, and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has never engaged in currency hedging operations and has no present intention to do so.
 
35

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS.
 
We had no off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency forward contracts. We did not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts during the second quarter of 2006.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

The Company has convertible debt which obligates the Company to file a registration statement with respect to the shares issuable under the convertible debt note. Due to various factors, as of September 30, 2006, the Company had filed the registration statement, but it has not gone effective. Accordingly, the terms of the convertible note obligate the Company to pay liquidated damages to the convertible debenture investors at the rate of 2% of the principal amount of the convertible per month, or $160,000. As of September 30, 2006, the Company has determined to accrue five months of liquidated damages or approximately $800,000, although it is possible that the Company may not ultimately need to pay the full amount of liquidated damages. The amount has been reflected in the consolidated financial statements as a separate line item on the consolidated balance sheet as “liquidated damages liability” and as a separate line item on the consolidated statement of operations as “liquidated damages expense”.

We have significant cash resources to meet our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2006, as detailed below:

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
 
All of the Company's revenues are derived in Asia and Greater China. The Company does not have any single customer that accounts for more than 10% of its revenues or 10% of its purchases. If the Company was unable to derive any revenue from Asia and Greater China, it would have a significant, financially disruptive effect on the normal operations of the Company. The economic environment in China can often involve dealing with arbitrary regulations, especially with regard to the telecommunications sector.. With this exception, the Company does not expect any material adverse impact to its business, financial condition and results of operations.  
 
36

 
SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS
 
Several of our businesses experience fluctuations in quarterly performance. Traditionally, the first quarter from January to March is a low season for our call center business due to the long Lunar New Year holidays in China. Revenues and income from operations for the call center and VAS tend to be higher in the fourth quarter due to special holiday promotions. Internet sales, telemarketing and direct marketing revenues also tend to be higher in the fourth quarter due to increased consumer spending during that period. Revenues from the VAS and IVR segment can vary from quarter to quarter due to new product launches and the seasonality of certain product lines. 
 
 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
We are exposed to various market risks arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign exchange fluctuations and interest rates, which could impact our results of operations and financial position. We do not currently engage in any hedging or other market risk management tools, and we do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk. 
Fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies, primarily the Hong Dollar and the Chinese Renminbi, could adversely affect our financial results. During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, approximately all of our sales are denominated in foreign currencies. We expect that foreign currencies will continue to represent a similarly significant percentage of our sales in the future. Selling, marketing and administrative costs related to these sales are largely denominated in the same respective currency, thereby mitigating our transaction risk exposure. We therefore believe that the risk of a significant impact on our operating income from foreign currency fluctuations is not substantial. However, for sales not denominated in U.S. dollars, if there is an increase in the rate at which a foreign currency is exchanged for U.S. dollars, it will require more of the foreign currency to equal a specified amount of U.S. dollars than before the rate increase. In such cases and if we price our products in the foreign currency, we will receive less in U.S. dollars than we did before the rate increase went into effect. If we price our products in U.S. dollars and competitors price their products in local currency, an increase in the relative strength of the U.S. dollar could result in our price not being competitive in a market where business is transacted in the local currency. All of our sales denominated in foreign currencies are denominated in the Hong Dollar and the Chinese Renminbi. Our principal exchange rate risk therefore exists between the U.S. dollar and these two currencies. Fluctuations from the beginning to the end of any given reporting period result in the re-measurement of our foreign currency-denominated receivables and payables, generating currency transaction gains or losses that impact our non-operating income/expense levels in the respective period and are reported in other (income) expense, net in our combined consolidated financial statements. We do not currently hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We may, however, hedge such exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the future.

Interest Rate Risk. 
Changes in interest rates may affect the interest paid (or earned) and therefore affect our cash flows and results of operations. We are exposed to interest rate change risk with respect to Epros' (one of our subsidiaries) credit facility with a commercial lender. However, we do not believe that this interest rate change risk is significant. 
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures  
 
PacificNet Inc. (the "Company") maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Interim Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.
 
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the CEO and Interim CFO, as of end of the period covered by this report of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon this evaluation the CEO and CFO concluded that as of September 30, 2006, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures contained significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. Also, as previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 (the "2005 Form 10-KSB") and as of the end of the period covered by this report, significant deficiencies and material weaknesses with respect to the Company's internal controls over financial reporting were identified and communicated to us by our independent auditors.
 
The Company implemented remediation initiatives and interim measures beginning in the second quarter and continues to implement such initiatives.
 
In the absence of full implementation of the remediation initiatives in the second quarter of 2006, the Company has undertaken additional measures described below in the interim to ensure that the Company's consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Accordingly, the Company's management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented and that this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report.

Management’s Remediation Initiatives and Interim Measures  
 
Management continues to reviewe and implement changes to the overall design of the Company's control environment, which includes formalizing the roles, duties and responsibilities of each functional group within the organization and putting in place a process by which each subsidiary's accounting staff must report and communicate required financial disclosures to the Company's primary accounting groups for review and oversight, as well as new procedures to monitor internal controls over financial reporting, which the CEO and Interim CFO believe will greatly improve the current process.
 
The following is a description of the Company’s remediation initiatives with respect to each deficiency identified in the 2005 Form 10-KSB and at the end of the period covered by this report:

1.       
The current organization of the accounting department does not provide PacificNet with the adequate skills to accurately account for and disclose significant transactions or disclosures.

Remediation Initiatives
 
Beginning in the first quarter of 2006, the Company streamlined its reporting procedures by requiring all accounting groups within each subsidiary, which includes tax, treasury, financial planning and analysis groups, to directly report information and communicate to their respective accounting group at the Company’s financial accounting headquarters in Shenzhen. Each accounting group at Shenzhen is now responsible for overseeing the reporting results delivered for each subsidiary within their group to ensure that the material transactions and financial disclosures provided by such group are accurate, complete and correct and do not contain any material misstatements or omit material information.
 
The Company plans to retain the services of outside consultants, other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, with relevant accounting experience, skills and knowledge, working under the supervision and direction of the Company’s management, to supplement the Company’s existing accounting personnel.
 
The Company plans to expand the size of its internal audit group, and has determined to retain an outside independent consulting firm with relevant accounting experience. In connection with this expansion the Company will give the internal audit group the added responsibility to monitor its wholly owned subsidiaries and partially owned subsidiaries and joint venture operations through reviews and audits at such locations a minimum of three times a quarter.

The Company believes that this new responsibility of the internal audit group is critical upon each new acquisition, as the newly acquired subsidiary must quickly become familiar with the Company's policies and procedures for processing, summarizing, reporting and disclosing material information and ensuring that financial information about the new subsidiary is properly accounted for and communicated to management.

2.       
 Certain key managers in the accounting department do not appear to have the knowledge and experience required for their responsibilities.

Remediation Initiatives

As indicated in the Company’s 10-K filed on April 28, 2006, PacificNet has greatly expanded its Finance and Accounting staff in China in the last six months. In January, the Company promoted Mary Ma to the new position of Vice President of Finance for China operations, a position which will be permanently stationed in China. Ms. Ma has the prior business experience required to act in a supervisory capacity for the Company, including experience with Chinese Accounting Standards, IAS and US GAAP, corporate finance, finance analysis and operation. Ms. Ma. with assistance from other senior members of the financial staff, have reviewed and will continue to review and adapt the overall design of the Company's financial reporting structure, including the roles and responsibilities of each functional group within the Company. In May 2006, the Company announced the resignation of Mr. ShaoJian Wang as the CFO effective May 26, 2006, as a result of this new position at Hurray! Holding Co. Ltd. (Nasdaq:HRAY) as their President and Chief Operating Operator. Mr. Wang has remained as a director of PacificNet. In September 2006, the Company announced the hiring of its new CFO, Mr. Joseph Levinson, a former manager at Deloitte and Touche in New York.

The Company has plans to hire managers experienced in several key areas of accounting, including primarily persons with experience in US GAAP consolidation requirements, SEC financial reporting requirements and international tax skills, who will include the following:

·    
a consolidation manager with relevant accounting experience, skills and knowledge;
·    
several senior managers familiar with SEC financial reporting requirements with relevant accounting experience, skills and knowledge; and
·    
a senior manager with relevant PRC and international tax and accounting skills, experience and knowledge.

In September 2005, the Company implemented a formal training process to train its accounting and financial staff and plans to continue this process to ensure that personnel have the necessary competency, training and supervision for their assigned level of responsibility and the nature and complexity of the Company’s business. The Company plans to conduct a training seminar regarding revenue recognition, including identification of non-standard contracts in China.
 
The Company has allocated resources to continue to hire additional accounting personnel in the U.S., Hong Kong and China, in the areas of tax, external financial reporting, revenue recognition, treasury, financial planning and analysis and corporate accounting with relevant accounting experience, skills and knowledge.
     
3.  
Substantive matters are not being addressed appropriately by the Board and Audit Committee resulting in inadequate oversight from the Board and Audit Committee.

Remediation Initiatives
 
The Company has proposed to set forth a schedule and increase the frequency of Board of Director meetings and Audit Committee meetings. The Company, its Board of Directors and the Audit Committee have recognized that communication is required earlier and more frequently to ensure that substantive matters are addressed as early as possible in both the review and audit process and to allow for more detailed financial accounting reports and findings to be prepared and presented to the Audit Committee in a timely manner.

4.  
The process that PacificNet is currently using to monitor the ongoing quality of internal controls performance, identify deficiencies and trigger timely corrective action is not working effectively.

Remediation Initiatives

Utilization of Computerized Automated Controls:
 
Beginning in the third quarter of 2005, the Company started to deploy a company-wide unified financial accounting system using the Kingdee K/3 Financial Accounting & ERP Software, provided by Kingdee International Software Group Company Limited (www.Kingdee.com), one of the top two financial accounting and ERP system providers in China. From Q3 2005 through Q1 2006, the Company rolled out and successfully implemented the Kingdee K/3 Software for all its wholly owned subsidiaries. In the second quarter of 2006, the Company rolled out the Kingdee K/3 Software for its other partially owned subsidiaries and joint ventures in China. 
 
The Kingdee Software allows the Company and its subsidiaries to easily manage and monitor all financial and accounting processes within the group, which will assist the Company in collecting all material information necessary for its financial reports easily and accurately. During the first quarter of 2006, the Company implemented, and plans to continue to enhance, its month-end closing procedures, including reconciliations and controls over spreadsheets, and standardized checklists to ensure such procedures are consistently and effectively applied throughout the organization in order to improve the financial review time and quality to ensure that U.S. GAAP reviewers monitor financial information from non-U.S. locations in a consistent manner, through such measures as use of standardized reporting packages and review procedures.
 
The Company plans to deploy a document management system with secured intranet access during the third quarter of 2006 to ensure that all material contracts are collected, retained and available for review by all at one site.
     
5.  
There is no adequate means of accurately capturing and recording certain significant and complex business transactions:
 
Remediation Initiatives
 
In 2006 the Company began requiring centralized retention of documentation evidencing proof of delivery of products and services and final acceptance for revenue recognition purposes. The Company believes the document management system it plans to deploy as described above will be the primary tool to ensure that its business transactions are accurately recorded and evaluated for the purposes of legal and financial disclosure. The Company plans to design a contract review process in China requiring financial and legal staff to provide input during the contract negotiation process to ensure timely identification and accurate accounting treatment of non-standard contracts and to ensure proper revenue recognition with adequate documentation.
