This summary provides an overview of selected basic information about us and this offering contained in this prospectus. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all of the information you should consider before making a decision to purchase the shares we are offering. You should very carefully and thoroughly read the entire prospectus that contains the more detailed information, particularly the Risk Factors section starting on page 8 and our Consolidated financial statements and the related Notes to those statements included in this prospectus. This prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements. The cautionary statements made in this prospectus should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in this prospectus. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Summary Information about Our Group
The Baoshinn Group is engaged in the business of selling passenger tickets for a number of airlines and providing travel package services.
Baoshinn was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 9, 2005, under the name of JML Holdings, Inc. We were originally formed as a "blind pool" or "blank check" company whose business plan was to seek to acquire a business opportunity through completion of a merger, exchange of stock, or other similar type of transaction.
On or about October 2005, we issued 5,000,000 restricted common shares for total cash consideration of $50,000 to a total of 9 registered shareholders, all of whom are residents outside of the United States. There are no United States shareholders of record who own shares in Baoshinn. Prior to our identification and acquisition target of BSIE, a privately-held Hong Kong corporation, our only business activities were the organizational activities described above in efforts to locate a suitable business opportunity for acquisition.
We consummated our merger with BSIE on March 31, 2006, by acquiring all of the issued and outstanding common stock of BSIE in a share exchange transaction. We issued 16,500,000 shares in the share exchange transaction for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of BSIE common stock. As a result of the share exchange transaction, BSIE became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
The former stockholders of BSIE acquired 76.74% of our issued and outstanding common stock as a result of completion of the share exchange transaction. Therefore, although BSIE became our wholly-owned subsidiary, the transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of Baoshinn Corporation, whereby BSIE is deemed to be the accounting acquirer and is deemed to have adopted our capital structure. No finder's fee was paid to any person in connection with the transaction.
BSIE is headquartered in Hong Kong and was established in 2002 offering extended travel services primarily focused on wholesale businesses and corporate clients.
Through our Hong Kong subsidiary, we are ticket consolidators of major international airlines including Thai Airways, Eva Airways, Dragon Air, Air China, China Southern Airlines and China Eastern Airlines. With a strong and experienced team of travel consultants and officers dedicated to excellent travel services, we provide travel services such as ticketing, hotel and accommodation arrangements, tour packages, incentive tours and group sightseeing services.
We are currently expanding into China inbound travel and Disneyland resort tours. Further expansion is planned with China branch offices due to be opened in Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing in the next two years. We will offer a more comprehensive spectrum of services to our customers, while maintaining our high standard of service.
The following financial information summarizes certain selected financial information of Baoshinn. This information should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis and is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed financial information and notes thereto each appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. Figures are in US$000’s except for per share amounts

AN INVESTMENT IN THESE SECURITIES INVOLVES AN EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH DEGREE OF RISK AND IS EXTREMELY SPECULATIVE. IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING OUR COMPANY CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER MANY IMPORTANT FACTORS IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO PURCHASE THE SHARES BEING OFFERED. THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS ARE SOME OF THE POTENTIAL AND SUBSTANTIAL RISKS WHICH COULD BE INVOLVED IF YOU DECIDE TO PURCHASE SHARES IN THIS OFFERING.
Risks Associated With Our Company
1. | Resale of our securities may be difficult because there is no current market for our securities and it is possible that no market will develop. |
There is no current public market for our securities, and no assurance that such a public market will develop in the future. Even in the event that such a public market does develop, there is no assurance that it will be maintained or that it will be sufficiently active or liquid to allow shareholders to easily dispose of their shares.
Page - 8
2. | Doing business in China is subject to legal risks and political and economic changes over which we have no control. |
Under its current leadership, the Chinese government has been pursuing economic reform policies. Changes in these policies or political instability could affect our ability to operate, to repatriate funds from China, or increase our costs of doing business or our tax rate.
3. | Currency fluctuations can cause us significant losses. |
Some of our costs are denominated in Chinese Renmenbi. Changes in the exchange rate between the RMB and the US$ and HK$ may affect our costs of sales and operating margins. Some of our sales are also denominated in RMB.
4.We have historically lost money and may continue to lose money in the future; accordingly, our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have historically incurred losses and future losses are likely to occur. Accordingly, we may experience significant liquidity and cash flow problems because our operations may not be profitable. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in reaching or maintaining profitable operations. Because of our continuing losses from operations and lack of working capital, our auditors have expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue in business. As such we may have to cease operations and you could lose your investment.
5.Our success is highly dependent upon our ability to compete against competitors that have significantly greater resources than we have.
Many of our competitors have longer operating histories significantly greater financial, technical, product development and marketing resources, greater name recognition and larger client bases than we do. Our competitors could use these resources to market or develop products or services that are more effective or less costly than any or all of our products or services or that could render any or all of our products or services obsolete. Our competitors could also use their economic strength to influence the market to continue to buy their existing products.
6.If we cannot raise additional capital to finance future operations, we may need to curtail our operations in the future.
We have relied on our shareholders to fund our operations. We plan to obtain additional capital to finance future operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such financing on favorable terms, in sufficient amounts, or at all, when needed. Our inability to obtain sufficient financing would have an immediate material adverse effect on us, and our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our inability to obtain adequate financing will result in the need to curtail business operations. Any of these events would be materially harmful to our business. We have verbal commitments from our officers and directors to fund our operations that we believe should be sufficient for the next 12 months. We will subsequently need to raise additional capital to fund our future operations.
Risks Associated With This Offering:
1. | After the offering, existing shareholders will still be able to elect all of our directors and control our operations. Investors may find that the decisions of our directors are inconsistent with the best interest of other shareholders. |
Even if we sell only 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s stock in this offering, our current shareholders will still own 21,500,000 shares and will continue to control us. As a result, after completion of this offering, regardless of the number of shares we sell, current shareholders will be able to elect all of our directors and control our operations.
2. | Because there is no public trading market for our common stock, you may not be able to resell your stock. Even if a market does develop there is no guarantee that you will be able to sell your stock for the same amount you originally paid for it. |
There is currently no public trading market for our common stock. Therefore there is no central place, such as stock exchange or electronic trading system, to resell your shares. If you do want to resell your shares, you will have to locate a buyer and negotiate your own sale.
Page - 9
Risks Associated With Our Securities:
1. We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the growth and development of our business. Therefore, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends will depend on our earnings, if any, and our financial requirements.
2. Our common stock is deemed to be “penny stock,” which may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares due to suitability requirements.
Our common stock is deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them.
Penny stocks are stock:
· | with a price of less than $5.00 per share; |
· | that are not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; |
· | whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00 per share); or |
· | in issuers with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last three years. |
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and to receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock as long as it is subject to the penny stock rules. In addition, holders of our shares may have difficulty selling those shares because our common stock will probably be subject to the penny stock rules.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Some discussions in this prospectus may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors, some of which are discussed elsewhere in this prospectus, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us in this prospectus. You should read these factors, including the information under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 8, and the other cautionary statements made in this prospectus as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements made by us.
The proceeds from sale of shares will be used to pay offering expenses and for working capital in our Hong Kong operations. We cannot assure you that we will produce sufficient revenues to sustain our operations since, to date we have incurred substantial losses, and may from time to time require financing for working capital to meet our operating needs and obligations. We will need to raise additional capital to fund our future operations. We anticipate that we will require financing on an ongoing basis for the foreseeable future.
Since we made the decision to file a registration statement on behalf of the selling shareholders, we also established the offering price of $0.30 per share. This price was arbitrarily selected and does not have any relationship to any established criteria such as book value or current earnings per share. The offering price we set for our common stock was not based on past earnings, nor is it indicative of the current market value of the assets which we own.
"Dilution" represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. "Net tangible book value" is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders. See "Principal Stockholders."
Page - 10
Our net book value prior to the offering was $678,268 or approximately $0.03 per common share. Prior to selling any shares in this offering, we had 21,500,000 shares of common stock outstanding consisting of 16,500,000 shares (at a price of $0.03 per share) and 5,000,000 of which were purchased by nine arms-length individuals for $50,000 in cash (at a price of $0.01 per share).
We are now offering a minimum of 1,000,000 shares and a maximum of 2,500,000 shares at a price of $0.30 per share. If all shares being offered are sold, we will have 24,000,000 shares outstanding upon completion of the offering. Our post offering pro forma net book value, which gives effect to the receipt of the net proceeds from the offering on all shares sold but does not take into consideration any other changes in our net tangible book value, will be at the minimum offering level $978,268 ($1,428,268 - maximum offering) or approximately $0.0435 per share ($0.0595) which would result in dilution to investors in this offering of $0.2565 ($0.2405) per share, or approximately 85.5% (80.2%) from the public offering price of $0.30 per share. Net tangible book value per share would increase $0.0135 - minimum offering ($0.0295) per share for our current shareholders.
The following table sets forth the estimated net tangible book value (the “NTBV”) per share after the offering and the dilution to persons purchasing shares based upon various levels of sales achieved:
Dilution Table
Percent of Offering Sold | (Min) | 75% | 100% (Max) | |
Shares sold | 1,000,000 | 1,875,000 | 2,500,000 | |
Public offering price/share | $0.30 | $0.30 | $0.30 | |
NTBV/share prior to offering | $0.0315 | $0.0315 | $0.0315 | |
Net proceeds to Baoshinn Corporation. * | $200,000 | $462,500 | $650,000 | |
Total shares outstanding | 22,500,000 | 23,375,000 | 24,000,000 | |
Increase due to new shareholders | Per Share | $0.0135 | $0.0231 | $0.0295 |
Total $ | $300,000 | $562,500 | $750,000 | |
Dilution to new shareholders | $ | $256,500 | $462,938 | $601,250 |
% | 85.5% | 82.3% | 80.2% | |
Post offering pro forma NTBV/ share | $0.0435 | $0.0531 | $0.0595 |
* It is possible that we may not sell a minimum of 1,000,000 shares, in which case the proceeds to Baoshinn Corporation will be $0.
Upon completion of this offering the net tangible book value of the 24,000,000 shares to be outstanding, assuming all shares are sold, will be $1,428,268, or approximately $0.0595 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.0295 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.30 per share to $0.0595 per share.
After completion of this offering new shareholders will own approximately 10.4% of the total number of shares then outstanding, shares for which you will have made a cash investment of up to $750,000 or $0.30 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 89.6% of the total number of shares then outstanding.

This prospectus covers the resale by selling stockholders of shares of our common stock that they have already purchased from us. The offering price will be $0.30 per share for the duration of the offering. This fixed price has no basis in the company’s operating results or revenues. It was arrived arbitrarily. The selling stockholders may sell their shares of common stock either directly or through a broker-dealer in one or more of the following kinds of transactions: (i) transactions in over-the-counter market; (ii) transactions on a stock exchange that lists our common stock; or (iii) transactions privately negotiated between selling stockholders and purchasers, or otherwise.
Page - 12
Broker-dealers may charge commissions to both selling stockholders selling common stock and purchasers buying shares sold by a selling stockholder. Neither we nor the selling stockholders can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. We know of no existing arrangements between the selling stockholders and any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares. The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of securities may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on the sale of such securities and any discounts, commissions, concessions or other compensation received by any such underwriter, broker-dealer or agent may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
To the extent required by laws, regulations or agreements we have made, we will file a prospectus supplement during the time the selling stockholders are offering or selling shares covered by this prospectus in order to add or correct important information about the plan of distribution for the shares and in accordance with our obligation to file post-effective amendments to the prospectus as required by Item 512 of Regulation S-B. In addition to any other applicable laws or regulations, selling stockholders must comply with regulations relating to distributions by selling stockholders, including Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Regulation M prohibits selling stockholders from offering to purchase and purchasing our common stock at certain periods of time surrounding their sales of shares of our common stock under this prospectus.
Some states may require that registration, exemption from registration or notification requirements be met before selling stockholders may sell their common stock. Some states may also require selling stockholders to sell their common stock only through broker-dealers. We have not yet filed for registration or exemption in any state. Selling shareholders will be provided with a list of states where the sales by them of common stock have been exempted or registered.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. Shares issued prior to the merger were blank check shares, and as such, can only be offered through a registered offering. The estimated offering expense is expected to be $100,000.00, all of which will be paid by Baoshinn and none by the selling shareholders. Offers or sales of the shares have not been registered or qualified under the laws of any country other than the United States. To comply with certain states' securities laws, if applicable, the shares will be offered or sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. There can be no assurance that the selling stockholders will sell any or all of the shares offered by them hereunder. There is no current trading market for the shares and there can be no assurances that a trading market will develop, or, if such a trading market does develop, that it will be sustained. In the event a trading market does develop for our Shares, it will at least initially be subject to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." See “Risk Factors” on page 8.
We could be subject to litigation from time to time arising from our normal course of operations. Currently, the Baoshinn Group is not a party to any pending litigation and none is contemplated or threatened.

Background
Baoshinn Corporation was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 9, 2005, under the name of JML Holdings, Inc. We were formed as a “blind pool” or “blank check” company whose business plan was to seek to acquire a business opportunity through completion of a merger, exchange of stock, or other similar type of transaction. Prior to our identification of BSIE as an acquisition target, our only business activity was the organizational activities described above in efforts to locate a suitable business opportunity for acquisition.
On or about October 2005, we issued 5,000,000 restricted common shares for total cash consideration of $50,000 to a total of 9 registered shareholders, all of whom are residents outside of the United States. There are no United States shareholders of record who own shares in Baoshinn. Prior to our identification and acquisition target of BSIE, a privately-held Hong Kong corporation, our only business activities were the organizational activities described above in efforts to locate a suitable business opportunity for acquisition.
We consummated our merger with BSIE on March 31, 2006, by acquiring all of the issued and outstanding common stock of BSIE in a share exchange transaction. We issued 16,500,000 shares in the share exchange transaction for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of BSIE common stock. As a result of the share exchange transaction, BSIE became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
The former stockholders of BSIE acquired 76.74% of our issued and outstanding common stock as a result of completion of the share exchange transaction. Therefore, although BSIE becomes our wholly-owned subsidiary, the transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of BSIE whereby BSIE is deemed to be the accounting acquirer and is deemed to have adopted our capital structure. No finder’s fee was paid to any person in connection with the transaction.

With an increase in revenue, our gross profit increased by $434,203 from $206,181 in 2005 to $640,384 in 2006. Our gross profit margin increased from 2.2% to3.1%. This was mainly due to additional commissions that we receive as the volume of business increases.

General and Administrative Expenses
In line with the higher revenue and in a build up of our support base, our general and administrative expenses increased by from $325,085 in 2005 to $865,218 in 2006. These expenses increased as a % of sales from 3.5% to 4.2% and were directly attributable to increased occupancy costs, salaries and wages, and related benefits as we increased our staff as a result of increased base of service providers and expanded our operations..
Net Loss
While our net loss increased in absolute terms from $118,323 in 2005 to $220,390, this actually represents a decrease in terms of a % of sales from 1.3% to 1.1%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our working capital and additional funding requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including: (i) an increase to current company personnel; (ii) the level of resources that we devote to sales and marketing capabilities; and (iii) the activities of our competitors.
To date, we have incurred substantial losses, and will require financing for working capital to meet our operating obligations. While we have recently raised sufficient working capital to fund our operations for what we believe should be sufficient for the next 12 months, we will subsequently need to raise additional capital to fund our future operations. We anticipate that we will require financing on an ongoing basis for the foreseeable future.
During the year ended March 31, 2006, we had a net increase in cash of $110,551, as compared to a net increase in cash of $96,285, for the comparative period of the prior year. Our principal sources and uses of funds were as follows:
· | Cash used by operating activities - $(290,343) {$(282,448) - 2005} Cash used in operations was primarily due to the losses in the periods and increases in working capital |
· | Cash used by investing activities - $(77,106) {$(12,293) - 2005} Our capital expenditures in for the periods were primarily for new computer equipment and expansion of office facilities. |
· | Cash provided by financing activities - $478,000 {$391,026 - 2005} In the past two years the shareholders of BSIE provided funds to the company when they were needed. |
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis 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 revenue recognition, accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories, intangible and long-lived assets, and income taxes. 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.
An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur could materially change the financial statements. We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Trade receivables and allowance for doubtful accounts
We present accounts receivable, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, to ensure accounts receivable are not overstated due to uncollectibility. The Company determines the uncollectibility of a specific receivable based on its understanding of the financial condition of specific customers. If the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional write-offs may be required. In the event that our trade receivables became uncollectible after exhausting all available means of collection, we would be forced to record additional adjustments to receivables to reflect the amounts at net realizable value. The effect of this entry would be a charge to earnings, thereby reducing our net earningst. 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.
Page - 23
Long-lived assets
We evaluate our long-lived assets, which represent furniture, fixtures and equipment, for impairment annually and when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value would be charged to operations. We do not believe any impairment exists for any of these types of assets as of March 31, 2006.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS” No. 109), “Accounting for Income Taxes,” whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. In the event we were to 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 in which we make such determination. Likewise, if we later determine that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets would be realized, we would reverse the applicable portion of the previously provided valuation allowance. In order for us to realize our deferred tax assets we must be able to generate sufficient taxable income in the tax jurisdictions in which the deferred tax assets are located. We do not currently have any deferred tax assets recognized.
Contingencies
Currently, there are no outstanding legal proceedings or claims. The outcomes of potential legal proceedings and claims brought against us are subject to significant uncertainty. SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, requires that an estimated loss from a loss contingency such as a legal proceeding or claim should be accrued by a charge to income if it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Disclosure of a contingency is required if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss has been incurred. In determining whether a loss should be accrued we evaluate, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. Changes in these factors could materially impact our financial position or results of operations.
Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued the following recent accounting pronouncements, none of which are expected to have a significant affect on the financial statements:
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. The Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 (R) effective January 1, 2006. The adoption had no impact to the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On June 7, 2005, the FASB issued Statement 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a Replacement of APB Opinion 20 and FASB Statement 3, ("SFAS 154"). SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. Previously, most voluntary changes in accounting principles were required recognition via a cumulative effect adjustment within net income of the period of the change. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company adopted SFAS 154 on January 1, 2006. The adoption had no impact to the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Page - 24
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155, Accounting For Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an Amendment of FASB Statements 133 and 140, ("SFAS 155"). SFAS will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2007. The statement permits interests in hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative that would otherwise require bifurcation, to be accounted for as a single financial instrument at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. This election is permitted on an instrument-by-instrument basis for all hybrid financial instruments held, obtained, or issued as of the adoption date. The adoption of this statement does not have currently affect the Company.
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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During fiscal 2006 and 2005, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet activities or have any relationships or arrangements with unconsolidated entities established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Further, we have not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities nor do we have any commitment or intent to provide additional funding to any such entities.
Description of Property
We do not own any real property for use in our operations or otherwise.

There is no established market for our shares. Our stock is not yet quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or on any other public market and we have not applied for listing or quotation on any public market.
We currently have a total of 21,500,000 shares outstanding, all of which constitute "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. A total of 2,500,000 of our presently issued and outstanding shares which consist of shares held by persons who were shareholders of Baoshinn Corp., prior to the date of completion of the share exchange transaction with BSIE may currently be eligible for resale in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144 by virtue of having been held for the required minimum holding period of one year. However, a recent SEC interpretation indicated that, in certain circumstances, Rule 144 is not available for resales of shares which were originally issued to promoters or affiliates of blank check companies. To this extent the holders of these shares may not rely on Rule 144 to make resales, such shares may be offered and sold only pursuant to an effective registration statement.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(A NEVADA CORPORATION)
FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2005 AND 2006
INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Page - 28
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Baoshinn Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Baoshinn Corporation (a Nevada Corporation) as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. 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 audits 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 consolidated 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Baoshinn Corporation as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for all of the periods presented. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2006 AND 2005
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Baoshinn Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 9, 2005, under the name of JML Holdings, Inc. The Company was formed as a "blind pool" or "blank check" company whose business plan was to seek to acquire a business opportunity through completion of a merger, exchange of stock, or other similar type of transaction. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, the Company issued 5,000,000 restricted common shares at $0.01 per share for total cash consideration of $50,000. On March 31, 2006, we consummated a merger (the “merger”) with Bao Shinn International Express Limited (“BSIE”), a privately-held Hong Kong corporation, by issuing 16,500,000 shares in the share exchange transaction for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of BSIE common stock. As a result of the share exchange transaction, BSIE became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
The former stockholders of BSIE acquired 76.74% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock as a result of completion of the share exchange transaction. Therefore, although BSIE became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, the transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company, whereby BSIE is deemed to be the accounting acquirer and is deemed to have adopted the Company’s capital structure. Since the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the historical financial statements of BSIE, the accounting acquirer, as adjusted for the effects of the exchange of shares on its equity accounts, the inclusion of net liabilities of the accounting subsidiary as of the date of the merger on their historical basis and the inclusion of the accounting subsidiary’s results of operations from that date. Although the Company is the legal acquirer, BSIE will be treated as having acquired the Company for accounting purposes and all of the operations reported represent the historical financial statements of BSIE.
Headquartered in Hong Kong, BSIE was incorporated in Hong Kong on May 10, 2002 with limited liability. The Company’s registered office is located at the office of Flat A-B, 8/F., No. 8 Hart Avenue, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. BSIE offers extended travel services primarily focused on wholesale businesses and corporate clients. BSIE is a ticket consolidator of major international airlines including Thai Airways, Eva Airways, Dragon Air, Air China, China Southern Airlines and China Eastern Airlines that provides travel services such as ticketing, hotel and accommodation arrangements, tour packages, incentive tours and group sightseeing services.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has generated recurring losses resulting in an accumulated deficit and generated negative cash flows from operating activities for all of the periods presented. The Company requires additional funds to maintain its operations.
Management's plans in this regard are to raise private debt or equity financing as required. There is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company on acceptable terms, if at all. Currently the Company’s shareholders have agreed to fund the Company as necessary so that the Company may continue as a going concern. Management believes that actions presently taken to revise the Company's operating and financial requirements provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to achieve these objectives cannot be determined at this time. If the Company is unsuccessful in its endeavours, it may be forced to cease operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of the financial statements presented is set out below:
(a) | Principles of Consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the periods presented are consolidated from or to their effective dates of acquisition or disposal. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Page - 34
(b) | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes its best estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Changes in estimates are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimate, which is typically in the period when new information becomes available to management. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(c) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
The Company’s principal financial instruments represented by cash, trade receivables and payables and other payable, approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these items.
(d) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances in the U.S. one local bank and this account is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $100,000.
(e) | Foreign Currency Translation |
The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollars (“US$”). The functional and reporting currency of the Company is their local currency, Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”). Results of operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the end of period exchange rates. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders' equity statement. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.
(f) | Concentration of Supplier Risk |
The Company relies on Thai airways as its major supplier of air tickets and tour packages. If this supplier became unwilling to cooperate with the Company, the Company would have to find alternative resources, which could materially adversely affect the Company’s ability to generate revenue and profitability.
(g) | Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment |
Furniture, fixtures and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The Company records depreciation using straight-line method over an estimated useful life of five years. Depreciation expense for the year ended March 31, 2006 was $33,186 (2005: $13,225). Gains or losses on disposal of furniture, fixtures and equipment are included in the statement of operations based on the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset. Significant improvements and betterments are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations when incurred.
(h) | Long-Lived Assets |
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For assets that are to be held and used, an impairment loss is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value.
(i) | Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
The Company recognizes revenue on travel agent services when services are rendered to the customers. The revenue recognition process is considered complete when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been rendered, fees are fixed and determinable, collectibility is probable and when all other significant obligations have been fulfilled. Collectibility is reasonably assured through historical payment practices or review of new customer credit. The Company uses the direct write-off method for uncollectible trade receivables, which is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but the departure does not have a material effect on the financial statements. The Company determines the uncollectibility of a specific receivable based on its understanding of the financial condition of specific customers. If the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional write-offs may be required.

(j) | Advertising Costs |
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were immaterial for all periods presented.
(k) | Income taxes |
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts using enacted tax rates in effect for the year the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current depending on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
Income tax expense represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax. Current tax is expected to be payable on the taxable profit for the period, calculated using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
(l) | Related Parties Transactions |
A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
(m) | 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 (loss) (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and other dilutive securities, for which there were none for all periods presented. All per share and per share information are adjusted retroactively to reflect stock splits and changes in par value.
(n) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued the following recent accounting pronouncements, none of which are expected to have a significant affect on the financial statements:
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. The Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 (R) effective January 1, 2006. The adoption had no impact to the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On June 7, 2005, the FASB issued Statement 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a Replacement of APB Opinion 20 and FASB Statement 3, ("SFAS 154"). SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. Previously, most voluntary changes in accounting principles were required recognition via a cumulative effect adjustment within net income of the period of the change. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company adopted SFAS 154 on January 1, 2006. The adoption had no impact to the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Page - 36
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155, Accounting For Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an Amendment of FASB Statements 133 and 140, ("SFAS 155"). SFAS will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2007. The statement permits interests in hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative that would otherwise require bifurcation, to be accounted for as a single financial instrument at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. This election is permitted on an instrument-by-instrument basis for all hybrid financial instruments held, obtained, or issued as of the adoption date. The adoption of this statement does not have currently affect the Company.
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.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Amount due from a shareholder at March 31, 2006, is unsecured, interest -free and recoverable on demand. In April, the amount due from shareholder was fully repaid.
Amount due to a shareholder, Bao Shinn Express Company Limited, (“Bao Shinn”), BSIE’s intermediate holding company, at March 31, 2006 ($158,333) and March 31, 2005 ($320,513) is unsecured, bearing interest at 10% and no fixed terms of repayment. BaoShinn holds 50% of BSIE outstanding common stock, but it does not have absolute control of the Company. Additionally, in the ordinary course of business, the Company purchases and sells air tickets and tour packages to Bao Shinn. The statement of operations for the periods presented includes the following related party transactions:
Related party | Nature of relationship and control | Description of transaction | Year Ended March 31, 2006 $ | Year Ended March 31, 2005 $ |

Purchase of air tickets and tour packages | 216,633 | 1,686,304 |
5. INCOME TAXES
No provision for Hong Kong profits tax has been made for any of the periods presented as the Company does not have any assessable profits during those periods. The tax rate in Hong Kong for the period s under review was 17.5%. The taxation for those periods can be reconciled to the loss before taxation per the statement of operations as follows:
Year ended March 31: | % | 2006 | % | 2005 | |||||||||

Tax charge for the period / year at the Company’s effective tax rate | - | - | - | - |
Page - 37
No provision for deferred tax liabilities has been made as the Company has no material temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. The Company has not recognized deferred tax assets in respect of losses due to the unpredictability of the future earnings. The tax losses do not expire under current tax legislation.

Re: Registration Statement on Form SB-2
Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to Baoshinn Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the filing of a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), covering the registration for resale of a total of 5,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) all as set forth in the Registration Statement. At your request this opinion is being furnished to you for filing as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement.
We have examined the Registration Statement. We also have examined the originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such records, agreements, instruments and other documents, and have made such other and further investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions expressed herein. As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon the certificates of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company.
In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.
For the purposes of this opinion, we have also assumed that (i) the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to warrants will continue to be validly authorized on the dates the Common Stock is issued pursuant to the exercise of the warrants; (ii) on the dates the warrants are exercised, the warrants will constitute valid, legal and binding obligations of the Company and will be enforceable as to the Company in accordance with their terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, moratorium, insolvency, reorganization and other laws and legal principles affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally); (iii) the warrants are exercised in accordance with their terms and the exercise price therefore is paid in accordance with the terms thereof; (iv) no change occurs in applicable law or the pertinent facts; and (v) the provisions of “blue sky” and other securities laws that may be applicable will have been complied with to the extent required.
Page - 53
On the basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized for issuance by the Company and with respect to Shares that have been issued to date, those shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and, with respect to the Shares that are subject to the exercise of certain warrants, upon the proper exercise of the warrants (including the full payment of the
exercise price thereof), and the consequent issuance of such Shares, those Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We are members of the bar of the State of California, and we do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the Nevada General Corporation Law and the federal securities law of the United States.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and we consent to the use of our name under the heading “Legal Matters” in the prospectus constituting a part thereof.
Very truly yours, | ||
