DOMAIN EXTREMES INC. - 10-Q - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(Edgar Glimpses Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 of this report and is qualified in its entirety by the foregoing.

Forward Looking Statements Certain statements in this report, including statements of our expectations, intentions, plans and beliefs, including those contained in or implied by "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, are "forward-looking statements", within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are subject to certain events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside our control. The words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "optimistic", "intend", "will", and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements of management's plans and objectives for our future operations and statements of future economic performance, information regarding our expansion and possible results from expansion, our expected growth, our capital budget and future capital requirements, the availability of funds and our ability to meet future capital needs, and the assumptions described in this report underlying such forward-looking statements. Actual results and developments could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such statements due to a number of factors, including, without limitation, those described in the context of such forward-looking statements, our expansion and acquisition strategy, our ability to achieve operating efficiencies, our ability to successfully develop and market new websites in the greater Asian markets, the strength and financial resources of our competitors, our ability to raise sufficient capital in order to effectuate our business plan, our ability to find and retain skilled personnel and key executives, the political and economic climate in which we conduct operations and the risk factors described from time to time in our other documents and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission").

General We are a development stage company organized under the laws of the State of Nevada in January 2006. Our business is to develop and operate Internet websites and applications on mobile platforms. We intend to earn revenues through advertisements sold on these websites and applications. Our goal is to become the largest network of consumer-based websites and applications targeting viewers in the Hong Kong and Greater China Basin with contents on travel, food, entertainment, activities and city life. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have launched the websites, www.drinkeat.com, which provides reviews of restaurants in Hong Kong and www.sowhat.asia(in beta version), which acts as a platform for members to upload photos and videos and comments on traffic, hygiene, environmental and similar issues in Hong Kong. These two websites are currently generating advertising income through banner and pay-per-click advertisements.

We plan to develop additional websites and solicit advertisement for those websites through third-party agents. Presently, we own the following domain names: www.domainextremes.com, www.drinkeat.com, www.sowhat.asia, www.channel.asia, www.whatnext.asia, www.pix100.com and www.nojunkcall.com.

We have launched Junk Calls, an iPhone App for downloading by iPhone users in Hong Kong, to screen incoming phone calls which are considered junk calls. We plan to launch in the first quarter of 2013, another iPhone application, BabyWorld, which is a photo uploading and display application for members.

Members can also upload photos through our website www.baby.pix100.com.

We are a controlled corporation with the substantial majority of our shares held by Promula Trading Ltd., a Hong Kong-based company. Promula acquired an 82% stake in our company in September 2011. As a result, there can be no assurance that our business and/or our strategy will not change over time as a result of Promula's interest.

Our Business We are an active developer and operator of lifestyle-centered websites and mobile platform applications in the Hong Kong and Greater China Basin. We currently own a number of domain names and intend to build content centered on travel, food, city life and entertainment in the region.

Our content is delivered through internet-connected browser-based devices such as personal computers, laptops and mobile devices. As a result, our content is available globally and our distribution is potentially unlimited in breadth.

Thus, while our primary market focus is Hong Kong and the Greater China Basin, we are able to reach those consumers and content providers around the world who have an interest in this region.

17 Our site www.drinkeat.com, also known as Hong Kong Restaurant Review, provides reviews on Hong Kong restaurants. We invite food critics to contribute review articles on restaurants in Hong Kong either for a small fee or by obtaining their consent to post a previously printed article without charge. Reviews are written in Chinese for the general public in Hong Kong and Chinese tourists who plan to visit Hong Kong. Contributors are paid a nominal fee on a per-article basis either in cash, if available, or through the issuance of shares in the Company. We rely on five active individual contributors to provide reviews, although we do not have formal agreements with any. There are several websites providing similar reviews on Hong Kong restaurants.

We believe that www.drinkeat.com is among the top three of such websites in terms of popularity and depth of the articles. According to Google's PageRank®, www.drinkeat.com is one of three restaurant review websites in Hong Kong with a ranking of 5 or higher out of the maximum 10 as of the date of this Quarterly Report.

According to Google's corporate website, its PageRank® system reflects its view of the importance of viewed web pages by considering more than 500 million variables and 2 billion terms. Pages that it believes are important pages receive a higher PageRank® and are more likely to appear at the top of the search results. Google assigns a numeric weighting from 0-10 for each webpage on the Internet, with the PageRank® denoting a site's importance in the eyes of Google. The PageRank® of a particular page is roughly based upon the quantity of inbound links as well as the PageRank® of the pages providing the links. Other factors, such as the relevance of search words on the page and actual visits to the page reported by the Google toolbar, also influence the PageRank®. However, in order to prevent manipulation, Google provides no specific details about how such other factors influence the resulting PageRank®.

We launched our second website, www.sowhat.asia, in beta version, in the 4th quarter of 2009. The website is still in testing stage as of the date of this quarterly report. This site provides a portal for members to post photos and videos focusing on areas in Hong Kong which they believe need improvement, including traffic, hygienic conditions, environmental issues and current affairs and others. The purpose of these postings is to attract the attention of government departments and concerned organizations with the ultimate objective that these issues will be rectified. Initial content has been provided by individuals known to the Company's management without compensation. Currently, there is no similar website in Hong Kong.

We will gradually develop other websites utilizing domain names we currently own or develop or acquire in the future. We plan to solicit advertisements through third party agents. Depending on the nature of the content of the websites, prospective advertisers include restaurants, hotels, travel agents, department stores and retail outlets. We also include pay-per-click advertisements in our websites. Our hope is that when our network of websites has increased to at least five, we will be able to attract and retain more traffic, redirecting users to other websites in our network.

We have contracted with programming firms in Hong Kong and China to develop websites for our network. Once a domain name and theme have been decided by our directors, we contact potential development firms for initial discussion regarding our proposal. Our directors maintain close contact with the programming firms during development of the website and conduct testing throughout the development process. Additionally, we intend to carry out enhancements on our websites from time to time based upon member feedback.

In the first quarter of 2010, we launched Junk Calls, an application on the iPhone platform. This is an extension of our strategy to develop application programs to the mobile network. We will continue to develop similar lifestyle applications on iPhone and other mobile platforms.

Critical Accounting Policies The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the probable future resolution of the uncertainties increase, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. We have identified the following accounting policies, described below, as the most critical to an understanding of our current financial condition and results of operations.

Basic of Presentation and interim reporting The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. While the information presented in the accompanying interim financial statements is unaudited, it includes all adjustments which are in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

18 Although these interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the Company's December 31, 2011 annual financial statements, they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

Accordingly, it is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's December 31, 2011 annual financial statements.

The results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future periods.

Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company accounts for the impairment of long-lived assets, such as plant and equipment, leasehold land and intangible assets, under the provisions of FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 360 ("ASC 360") "Property, Plant and Equipment - Overall" (formerly known as SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144")). ASC 360 establishes the accounting for impairment of long-lived tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill and for the disposal of a business. Pursuant to ASC 360, the Company periodically evaluates, at least annually, whether facts or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of its depreciable assets to be held and used may not be recoverable. If such circumstances are determined to exist, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by the long-lived asset, or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the carrying value to determine whether impairment exists. In the event that the carrying amount of long-lived assets exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, then the carrying amount of such assets is adjusted to their fair value. The Company reports an impairment cost as a charge to operations at the time it is recognized.

Income Taxes The Company utilizes FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 740 ("ASC 740") "Income taxes" (formerly known as SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"), which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.

Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC 740 "Income taxes" (formerly known as Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("FIN 48")) clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This interpretation requires that an entity recognizes in the financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgement occurs. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of income tax expense in the statements of operations. The adoption of ASC 740 did not have a significant effect on the financial statements.

Comprehensive Income The Company has adopted FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 220 ("ASC 220") "Comprehensive income" (formerly known as SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income"), which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Accumulated other comprehensive income represents the accumulated balance of foreign currency translation adjustments of the Company.

Stock-based Compensation The Company has adopted FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 718 ("ASC 718"), "Stock Compensation" (formerly known as SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including stock option grants based on estimated fair values. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the award's portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods. Prior to the adoption of ASC 718, we accounted for share-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method. Under the intrinsic value method, share-based compensation expense was only recognized by us if the exercise price of the stock option was less than the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant.

19 The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50 "Equity -Based Payments to Non-employees". Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transactions should be determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.

Issuance of shares for service The Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably measurable.

Foreign Currency Translations The functional currency of the Company is Hong Kong dollars ("HK$"). The Company maintains its financial statements in the functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchanges rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.

For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Group which are prepared using the functional currency have been translated into United States dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and stockholders' equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in determining net income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders' equity.

Fair value of financial instruments The carrying values of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, deposits, trade and other payables approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. The carrying amounts of borrowings approximate their fair values because the applicable interest rates approximate current market rates.

Earning per share Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period while the effects of potential common shares outstanding during the period are included in diluted earnings per share. The average market price during the year is used to compute equivalent shares.

FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 260 ("ASC 260"), "Earnings Per Share," requires that employee equity share options, non-vested shares and similar equity instruments granted to employees be treated as potential common shares in computing diluted earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share should be based on the actual number of options or shares granted and not yet forfeited, unless doing so would be anti-dilutive. The Company uses the "treasury stock" method for equity instruments granted in share-based payment transactions provided in ASC 260 to determine diluted earnings per share.

Website Development Costs The Company recognized the costs associated with developing a website in accordance with ASC 350-50 "Website Development Cost" that codified the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") Statement of Position ("SOP") NO. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". Relating to website development costs the Company follows the guidance pursuant to the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) NO. 00-2, "Accounting for Website Development Costs". The website development costs are divided into three stages, planning, development and production. The development stage can further be classified as application and infrastructure development, graphics development and content development. In short, website development cost for internal use should be capitalized except content input and data conversion costs in content development stage.

Costs associated with the website consist primarily of website development costs paid to third party and directors. These capitalized costs will be amortized based on their estimated useful life over three years upon the website becoming operational. Internal costs related to the development of website content will be charged to operations as incurred. Web-site development costs related to the customers are charged to cost of sales.

20 Revenue recognition The Company recognized revenues from advertising insertion revenue in the period in which the advertisement is displayed, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. If fixed-fee advertising is displayed over a term greater than one month, revenues are recognized ratably over the period as described below. The majority of insertion orders have terms that begin and end in a quarterly reporting period. In the cases where at the end of a quarterly reporting period the term of an insertion order is not complete, the Company recognizes revenue for the period by pro-rating the total arrangement fee to revenue and deferred revenue based on a measure of proportionate performance of its obligation under the insertion order. The Company measures proportionate performance by the number of placements delivered and undelivered as of the reporting date.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04 which is intended to consistent with the Memorandum of Understanding and the Boards' commitment published in 2006 to achieving that goal, the amendments in this Update are the result of the work by the FASB and the IASB to develop common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). The Boards worked together to ensure that fair value has the same meaning in U.S. GAAP and in IFRSs and that their respective fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are the same (except for minor differences in wording and style). The Boards concluded that the amendments in this Update will improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in this Update explain how to measure fair value. They do not require additional fair value measurements and are not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 which is intended to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. To increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the FASB decided to eliminate the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity, among other amendments in this Update. The amendments require that all nonowner changes in stockholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income.

The guidance in this ASU is effective for the first interim and annual period beginning after December 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively for all periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, "Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05". This ASU defers the effective date of the requirement to present separate line items on the income statement for reclassification adjustments of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The deferral is temporary until the Board reconsiders the operational concerns and needs of financial statement users. The Board has not yet established a timetable for its reconsideration. The requirements to present other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or two consecutive statements and other requirements of ASU 2011-05, as amended by ASU 2011-12, are effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities". Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the balance sheet and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This scope would include derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements and reverse sale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements. The objective of this disclosure is to facilitate comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. An entity would be required to provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. This ASU will not impact our results of operations.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 Balance Sheet Our total assets at September 30, 2012 were $69,868 compared to $42,968 at December 31, 2011. Our total liabilities were $116,509 at September 30, 2012 compared to $18,784 at December 31, 2011, principally due to the increase of $1,080 in accrued expenses and increase of $99,263 in advance from related parties. As a result, net assets for the period under review have decreased from $24,184 at December 31, 2011 to ($46,641) at September 30, 2012.

21 Net Sales We generated revenues of $4,077 and $12,346 for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2012, compared to $4,308 and $12,923 for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to discounts offered to our advertisers. Our principal source of revenues is from advertising banners on our websites. We also intend to generate future revenues from advertising and user fees related to our mobile phone applications.

Net Income (Loss) We have incurred a net loss of $19,262 and $70,825 for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2012 and a net profit of $14,658 and $8,858 for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2011, principally due to a substantial increase in our administrative expenses as we have increased our development activities.

We incurred general, administrative and operating expenses of $23,339 and $83,171 for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2012 and $9,888 and $24,303 for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2011. Of these amounts, $16,500 and $49,100 related to the value of cash compensation to our directors for the three and nine months, respectively ended September 30, 2012 and $2,308 and $6,923 related to the value of share-based compensation to our directors for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2011 in lieu of cash compensation for services rendered. In addition, a substantial portion of our expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 related to legal fees and professional fees, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 related to audit fees and professional fees.

Income Taxes Due to our lack of revenues, we have not incurred any tax obligations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. However, we would anticipate that income tax obligations will arise as we begin to generate significant revenue in the future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources At September 30, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4,304, compared to $269 at December 31, 2011, an increase of $4,035. The increase is principally due to the decrease in cash used in operation.

Currently, we have limited operating capital. We expect that our current capital and our other existing resources will be sufficient only to provide a limited amount of working capital, and the revenues, if any, generated from our business operations alone may not be sufficient to fund our operations or planned growth.

We will likely require additional capital to continue to operate our business, and to further expand our business.

We expect our cash flow needs over the next 12 months through October 2013 to be approximately $143,000. However, this amount may be materially increased if market conditions are favorable for a more rapid expansion of our business model or if we adjust our model to exploit strategic acquisition opportunities. In addition, we may require additional cash flow to support our public company reporting requirements in the United States. Although our average monthly expenditures to date have averaged less than $11,000, we expect this rate to increase exponentially as our business expands. To date, we have been financed principally by our directors; however, we expect to secure third party financing or bank loans as necessary until we secure sufficient revenues, principally from advertisers on our websites, to sustain our ongoing operations.

Sources of additional capital through various financing transactions or arrangements with third parties may include equity or debt financing, bank loans or revolving credit facilities. We may not be successful in locating suitable financing transactions in the time period required or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means. Our inability to raise additional funds when required may have a negative impact on our operations, business development and financial results.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As of September 30, 2012, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
