converted into USD based upon the exchange rate in effect at the end of the
calendar year to which the amount relates, or the exchange rate on the date
specified. These translations should not be construed as representations that
the TWD amounts actually represent such USD amounts or that TWD could be
converted into USD at the rate indicated. 3.B. Capitalization and Indebtedness Not applicable to Form 20-F/A filed as an Annual Report. 3.C. Reasons for the Offer and Use of
Proceeds Not applicable to Form 20-F/A filed as an Annual Report. 1 3.D. Risk Factors INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON SHARES IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE. A
PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK
FACTORS: Risks Relating to Our Stock We Have a History of Operating Losses Which May Affect
Our Ability to Continue Operations. We sustained operating losses for each of the fiscal years
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 of respectively $(420,776) and $(921,158). We
also anticipate sustaining a loss from operations for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2009. If we are unable to achieve profitability or to raise
sufficient capital to carry out our business plan, we may not be able to
continue operations. We Have a Limited Operating History and Are Still Proving
the Viability of Our Products and Business Model, and thus, We May Be Unable to
Sustain Operations and You May Lose Your Entire Investment. Since inception, we have been primarily focused on research and
development. In April 2003, our products became commercial and in 2006, our
product line was changed significantly. We are still adding to our product line
and in the process of proving the viability of our products and business model.
If we are unable to prove our business model or the viability of our products,
we may not be able to sustain operations and our ability to raise additional
funding may be jeopardized. Our Competition Has Greater Resources Than We Do and Can
Respond More Quickly To Changes in the Industry Which Could Adversely Affect Our
Ability to Compete. Communications-based businesses are intensely competitive and
involve a high degree of risk. Public acceptance of business transacted by us
may never reach the magnitude required to be commercially profitable. Many of our existing competitors, as well as a number of
potential new competitors have longer operating histories, greater name
recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial,
technical and marketing resources than us. These factors may allow them to
respond more quickly than us to new or emerging technologies and changes in
customer requirements. It may also allow them to devote greater resources than
we can to the development, promotion and sale of their products and services.
Such competitors may also engage in more extensive research and development,
undertake more far-reaching marketing campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing
policies and make more attractive offers to existing and potential employees,
strategic partners, advertisers and Internet publishers. In addition, current
and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative
relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the ability of
their products or services. Volatility of World Economic Factors May Affect Our
Ability to Raise Capital and Product Costs Which May Affect Our Ability to
Continue Operations. Our revenues, profitability and future growth and the carrying
value of assets are substantially dependent on prevailing world economic
conditions and fluctuations in influencing factors such as exchange rates, rates
of inflation, governmental stability and natural disasters. Our ability to
borrow and to obtain additional capital on attractive terms is also
substantially dependent upon these factors. The negative impact of these factors
on sales orders originating from an affected country would have an adverse
effect on our borrowing capacity, revenues, profitability and cash flows from
operations. For example, unfavorable changes in exchange rates can increase the
cost of our products and reduce revenues resulting in reduced profitability. In
the event that our profitability is reduced and we are unable to maintain our
profit margins, it may be difficult to raise capital and reduce our borrowing
ability. In addition, as has been recently experienced, general downturns in the
technology sector worldwide have made fundraising difficult. Since the marketing
of our products will require us to raise capital, this may have an adverse
affect on our ability to continue operations and to effectively market our
products. 2 We are Dependent on Key Personnel Who Have Extensive
Knowledge With Respect to Our Product and Business and thus, the Loss of One or
More of These Individuals May Adversely Affect Our Business. We are heavily dependent upon the expertise of our management
and certain other key officers and directors who have extensive knowledge about
our products and our operations, and the loss of one or more of these
individuals could have a material adverse effect. We do not maintain key-person
insurance policies on any of our executive officers. Since we are a technology
based company, our future success also depends on our ability to continue to
attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees in the payments and
communications industry. Competition for employees in our industry is intense.
We may be unable to retain key employees or attract, assimilate or retain other
highly qualified employees in the future. We currently have employment
agreements with our key executive officers, engineers and other key employees.
These contracts are for five (5) year terms and include non-competition
clauses. If We Are Unable to Respond To the Rapid Technological
Change in Our Industry, Our Products Could Become Obsolete and We May Be Unable
to Compete Resulting In the Termination of Our Operations. The communications industry is characterized by rapid and
significant technological change. Many communication applications have a short
life cycle. For example, our payment system technologies product lines became
obsolete and reached their end-of-life. Furthermore, due to changes in
governmental policy, the cellular phones that our products were designed to work
with have become obsolete. Going forward, our main products will be in the areas
of telecommunications equipment, including VoIP hardware, HTTs USB Dongle
designed for use with Skype, HTTs SkyDECT, HTTs EZDECT advanced multi-line
cordless telephone systems, etc. We also plan to distribute other name-brand
telecommunications equipment in Taiwan, China and other regions throughout Asia.
Our future success will depend in large part on our ability to continue to
respond to such changes. If we are unable to respond to such changes and/or new
or improved competing technology is developed, our technology may be rendered
non-competitive. In the event that we are unable to respond to these changes,
our ability to raise capital to carry out our business plan may be severely
restricted. In addition, our profitability may decrease as any existing
inventory may need to be sold at a discount. In this event, our cash flow and
liquidity would also be decreased. Government Regulation Could Adversely Affect Our Ability
to Sell Our Products. Laws and regulations directly applicable to communications,
commerce and advertising are becoming more prevalent. In addition, the growth
and development of the communications industry may prompt calls for more
stringent consumer protection laws, both in Canada and abroad, that may impose
additional burdens on companies. Recently, the United States government mandated
wireless number portability for all new cell phones allowing consumers to keep
their existing phone numbers when changing carriers. The implementation of
wireless number portability rendered several phones obsolete. In the event that
a phone model that our unit attaches to is rendered obsolete by regulations such
as wireless number portability, our sales and inventory values would be
adversely affected. In addition, to the extent that regulatory bodies put
restrictions on VoIP, our ability to compete with major telecommunication
companies would be effected. The result would be decreased profitability which
may adversely affect our share price. Government regulations could potentially slow down our
expansion plans. We may be required to have our products approved by several
regulatory agencies. This process can be onerous and slow, and could adversely
affect our ability to meet our financial projections. Compliance with different
standards may require additional capital investments and testing. If we are
unable to obtain such financing, our business could be adversely impacted. We Will Need Additional Funds In Order to Implement Our
Intended Projects and There Is No Assurance That Such Funds Will Be Available
As, If and When Needed Which May Adversely Affect Our Operations. Cash flow from operations for the fiscal years ended December
31, 2008 and 2007 were $(890,840) and $(1,110,500), respectively. We have been
dependent upon the proceeds of equity and non-equity financing to fund
operations. No assurances can be given that our actual cash requirements will
not exceed our budget or that anticipated revenues will be realized when needed,
lines of credit will be available if necessary or that additional capital will
be available. We anticipate that over the next twelve (12) months, we will need
a minimum of $3,000,000 to sustain operations and market our products
effectively. 3 Failure to obtain such additional funds on terms and conditions
that we deem acceptable may materially and adversely affect our ability to
effectively market and distribute our products resulting in decreased revenues
which may also result in a decreased share price. The Market Price of Our Common Shares Has Been and Will
In All Likelihood Continue To Be Volatile Which May Adversely Affect the Value
of Your Investment. The market price of our common shares has fluctuated over a
wide range and it is likely that the price of our common stock will continue to
fluctuate in the future. Announcements regarding acquisitions, the status of
corporate collaborations, regulatory approvals or other developments by us or
our competitors could have a significant impact on the market price of our
common shares. Our shares currently trade on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin
Board (OTCC.BB) with limited trading. If this market is not sustained or we
are unable to satisfy any future trading criteria that may be imposed by the
National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), there may not be any
liquidity for our shares. We have generated only limited revenue from the sale
of our products to date. These factors could have a negative impact on the
liquidity of any investment made in our stock. The Value and Transferability of Our Shares May Be
Adversely Impacted By the Penny Stock Rules. In addition, holders of our common stock in the United States
may experience substantial difficulty in selling their securities as a result of
the penny stock rules. Our common stock is covered by the penny stock rules, a
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rule that imposes additional sales
practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons
other than established customers and accredited investors, generally
institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth
in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly
with their spouse. For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must
make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and transaction prior
to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to
sell our securities and also may affect the ability of purchasers of our stock
to sell their shares in the secondary market. It may also cause fewer
broker-dealers to make a market in our stock. The Large Number of Shares Eligible for Future Sale by
Existing Shareholders May Adversely Affect the Market Price for Our Common
Shares. Future sales of substantial amounts of our common shares in the
public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely
affect the market price of our common shares. At December 31, 2008, we had
102,645,120 common shares outstanding. On that date, we had no common shares
reserved for issuance under our stock option plan; and no common shares reserved
for issuance under the warrants issued pursuant to various private
placements. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that sales
of shares of our common stock or the availability of such shares for sale will
have on the market prices of our common stock. We Have Limited Sales of Products to Date and No
Assurance Can Be Given That Our Products Will Be Widely Accepted In the
Marketplace Which May Adversely Affect Your Investment. Our future sales, and therefore, cash flow and income, and our
success, are highly dependent on success in marketing our products and consumer
acceptance of those products. If our products are not widely accepted or we are
unable to market our products effectively, we may face reduced share prices,
decreased profitability, and decreased cash flow. There Is A Limited Public Market for Our Common Shares At
This Time In the United States Which May Affect Your Ability to Sell Our
Stock. Our shares currently trade on the OTCC.BB with limited trading.
If this market is not sustained or we are unable to satisfy any future trading
criteria that may be imposed by the NASD, there may not be any liquidity for our
shares. We have generated only limited revenue from the sale of our products to
date. These factors could have a negative impact on the liquidity of any
investment made in our stock. 4 You Should Not Expect to Receive Dividends. We have never paid any cash dividends on shares of our capital
stock, and we do not anticipate that we will pay any dividends in the
foreseeable future. Our current business plan is to retain any future earnings
to finance the expansion of our business. Any future determination to pay cash
dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors, and will be
dependent upon our consolidated financial condition, results of operations,
capital requirements and other factors as our board of directors may deem
relevant at that time. History and Development of the Company TransAKT Ltd. (we, us, our or similar terms was
incorporated in the Province of British Columbia on December 10, 1996 as Green
Point Resources Inc. On October 18, 2000, we changed our name to Wildcard
Wireless Solutions Inc. On June 30, 2001, we filed Articles of Continuance in
the Province of Alberta and became an Alberta corporation. On that same day, we
conducted an amalgamation with Wildcard Communications Canada Inc., an Alberta
corporation, our wholly-owned subsidiary, wherein Wildcard Communications Canada
was merged into Wildcard Wireless Solutions Inc. On June 20, 2003, we changed
our name to TransAKT Corp. We changed our name from TransAKT Corp. to TransAKT
Ltd. on July 12, 2006. The legislation under which we operate is the Alberta
Company Act and our registered office is located at Suite 260, 1414
8th Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2R 1J6 (403) 290-1744. We have operated principally as a research and development
company since our inception. Initial seed capital has been directed toward areas
of product research and development, patent filings and administration. We
initially focused on the research, design, development and manufacturing of
mobile payment terminals. However, the sale of these payment terminals reached
its end-of life due to changes in cellular phone regulations and limited
acceptance in the marketplace. In October 2004, we purchased the existing
business and certain assets of IP Mental Inc., a Taiwan-based Voice over
Internet Protocol (VoIP) hardware and software provider. On November 15, 2006,
we acquired Taiwan Halee International Co. Ltd. (HTT), a Taiwan-based leading
designer, manufacturer and distributor of telecommunications equipment,
including specialized VoIP-compatible phone systems. These acquisitions were
intended to enable us to remain competitive in the marketplace. Our current
business is the design, development and manufacturing of telecommunications
equipment, including VoIP compatible telephone systems and multi-line cordless
telephone systems. Over the past three (3) years we have had no major capital
expenditures and we currently do not have any planned capital expenditures. In
2004, we purchased the assets of IP Mental Inc. for our shares that were fair
valued at USD$2,944,000 and we also advanced them USD$500,000 by way of a
promissory note. Other capitalized costs in the transaction were $363,618 which
included a finders fee in stock of $294,400 and miscellaneous acquisition
costs. On May 19, 2006, IP Mental Inc. settled its debt with us in the amount of
$505,150 in exchange for the return of 9,300,000 of our common shares. Our
outstanding shares were reduced correspondingly. On November 15, 2006, we
acquired HTT, for the sum of USD$5,000,000. The purchase price was paid by the
delivery to the shareholders of HTT of: (i) USD$200,000 in cash; (ii)
USD$300,000 in a promissory note from us due in cash six (6) months after
closing; (iii) 50,000,000 of our common voting shares, with a deemed value of
USD$0.09 per share; and (iv) 5,000,000 of our common voting shares issued to Mr.
James Wu as performance-based compensation. Other than the acquisitions of IP
Mental Inc. and HTT, we have generally only had capital expenditures on computer
equipment, tools and dies, patents, and trademarks. We have mainly financed our operations through the use of debt
and the issuance of equity in private placements. In October 2006, we repaid a
loan we took against inventory produced to fund our first commercial run of our
payment terminals. We settled the loan for USD$90,000 using funds raised from
the private placement of our shares. In the short-term and until our sales are
sufficient to fund operations, we will continue to finance our operations
through debt or equity financing. 5 Business Overview 1. Operations and Principal Activities We began operations in 1997 and commercialized our first
product line of mobile point-of-sale (POS) terminals in April 2003. With the
use of cellular phones, these terminals allow merchants to accept payments
anywhere, anytime. In October 2004, through the acquisition of the business and
certain assets of IP Mental Inc., we entered the VoIP business. We currently
offer a range of telecommunications products including VoIP equipment and
advanced multi-line cordless phone systems. We sustained operating losses for each of the fiscal years
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 of $(420,776) and $(921,158), respectively. In
addition, we expect to incur an operating loss in 2009. We have operated principally as a research and development
company since our inception. Initial seed capital has been directed toward areas
of product research and development, patent filings and administration. We have
now completed development of our initial products and have entered into the
sales and distribution phase. Our current business is the design, development
and manufacturing of mobile wireless solutions and telecommunications equipment
and solutions for enterprise and consumer markets including VoIP solutions in
Taiwan and the Far East. In 2009, our business will include the design,
manufacturing, and distribution of telecommunications equipment, including
specialized VoIP compatible phone systems and multi-line cordless telephone
systems, and the distribution of name brand telecommunications equipment
including Panasonic, Sanyo, Siemens, etc. in Taiwan and the Far East. 2. Principal Markets Our mobile point-of-sale (MPOS) products are no longer
available. HTTs products are currently distributed in Taiwan and we plan to
expand distribution to China, other regions of Asia and North America beginning
in 2009. We have had limited revenues in the last four (4) fiscal years as we
only began marketing our VoIP products in October 2004. Our first product was the TransAKT. The TransAKT is a
wireless point-of-sale (WPOS) device that clips onto the back of certain
Motorola cellular phones providing the user with a mechanism for swiping cards
with magnetic stripes (e.g., credit cards, debit cards, etc.) for conducting
wireless commercial transactions. Once attached, the phones are used to send
transaction information over the cellular network to the processing center for
credit approval. This application provides mobile merchants, business
professionals and consumers with voice, data and transactional capability all in
one handheld device. TransAKT was never adapted for use with other types of
cellular phones and is no longer offered. Our second product line is VoIP products and solutions. These
products allow communication over the World Wide Web at reduced communication
rates. Our products range from Universal Serial Bus (USB) plug and play phones
to stand alone phone adapters and phones. We currently offer a range of
telecommunication and VoIP products developed by HTT, including a USB dongle
adapter for use with a DECT phone with Skype, HTTs SkyDECT cordless phone
system that integrates use of VoIP, a traditional telephone based on a landline
and EZDECT specialized multi-line cordless phone systems. It is not our intention to engage in the capital and management
intensive industry of manufacturing our products. We intend to outsource our
manufacturing, warehousing and distribution. Following this approach, we do not
expect that we will experience volatility in our gross margins because all
outsourcing will be undertaken on a fixed contract basis. We have spent
considerable time identifying suitable international engineering and
manufacturing firms. We are not generally restricted to manufacturers for our
products. To date, we have been able to select from a number of potential
contractors and manufacturers and have been able to contract with well-organized
firms that have a proven track record. Our MPOS products are no longer in
production and our VoIP products are being manufactured in Taiwan and China.
6 3. Seasonality Our products can be used all year round and are not affected by
seasonal trends. 4. Sources and Availability of Raw Materials All raw materials for our products are sourced from China,
Taiwan and the United Kingdom. Due to the fact that our products use computer
components, the price of these components can be highly volatile and are subject
to the risk of obsolescence. In order to control costs and the risk of
obsolescence, we contract with a manufacturer at a set price for the building of
our product over a number of terminals. The manufacturer becomes responsible for
making sure enough inventory is in stock, and if not available, quickly
implements minor product changes to allow for components to be replaced. This
process is conducted for all manufacturing of our products. 5. Marketing Channels We are no longer marketing the MPOS products. For VoIP, we plan
to align ourselves with Internet Service Providers (ISPs), computer retailers,
telephone companies, and computer manufacturers to capitalize on the existing
distribution infrastructure. These large established partners normally will fund
and support extensive domestic and international marketing programs for our
products. We plan to develop new businesses and joint ventures and to enter into
distribution agreements to diversify our products, clients and geographic
revenue base. We have recruited a senior sales executive from a major consumer
electronics corporation to help us develop the Asian market for our products.
Our VoIP marketing is being conducted through the association
with distribution partners in several countries on a global basis. We attend
trade shows to market to the distributors and once signed we provide them with
marketing and technical support in order to enhance their sales. The marketing of the VoIP products is targeted at consumers and
small businesses that are calling internationally on a regular basis. With our
products, consumers can have the benefit of either calling free inside our
network or at reduced rates outside the network. 6. Patents or Licenses Patent rights, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and
similar intellectual property are important to our success. We rely on patent,
trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality or
license agreements with our employees, customers, partners and others to protect
their proprietary rights. Our patent application for our VoIP technology filed
in United States was cancelled and we are no longer pursuing any patents for
this technology. In addition, all our intellectual properties relating to the
MPOS technologies have become obsolete and were written off on December 20,
2006. 7. Competitive Position Competition in the cordless phone market is currently
decreasing. Innovation in this market is focusing on combining different
technologies in new ways. Our management believes that our SKYDECT, a single
device capable of connecting to different technologies, is one such device. Our
research and development team is focusing on creating more such products. We currently generate revenues, at least in part, through the
distribution of name brand products in Taiwan. Our management believes that this
provides us with an insiders view of some of the latest developments and trends
in technology and design. It also may provide us with relationships that can be
utilized for globalizing some of our new products. For example, we have formed a
partnership with SANYO to develop a Wi-Fi phone and a GSM/Wi-Fi dual mode phone.
We do not rely on a single revenue base or third parties for
revenue generation. We also have kept our marketing, allowances or rebates to a
minimum. Our management believes that these factors will allow us to effectively
compete in the industry and keep costs minimal, thereby allowing us to focus on
intellectual property development. 7 The VoIP industry is relatively young and several of the more
well-known players have much greater resources than we do. They have used their
resources to get their name out to the public and become leaders in the
industry. Some of the more well-known companies are Vonage, Packet 8, and Net 2
Phone. Our current share of the global VoIP market is negligible. Our main focus is on telecommunications equipment, including
VoIP hardware and multi-line cordless telephone systems. We also plan to
distribute other name-brand telecommunications equipment in Taiwan, China and
other regions throughout Asia. These areas are marked by strong competition and
rapid change. The following summarizes our current competitors. VTech VTech was founded in Hong Kong in October 1976 by two (2)
engineers. VTech began its operations with 2,000 sq. ft. of office space and a
staff of forty (40) employees. Sales in VTechs first year were under US$1
million. Today, VTech has worldwide operations and approximately 20,000
employees. In fiscal year 2006, VTech recorded annual sales of US$1 billion. In 1984, VTech introduced its first self-designed satellite
receiver. By 1991, VTech had designed a new generation of high frequency
cordless telephones employing microwave technology - the 900MHz cordless
phone. Subsequently, VTech introduced several new generations of
900MHz cordless phones and has established itself as a leading provider of
high-frequency cordless phones in the US. In 1988, to assist in business expansion, VTech moved its
production facilities to Dongguan, Guangdong province in southern China.
Currently, VTech has two (2) manufacturing sites in China, located at Houjie
town and Liaobu Science Park, within hours of its headquarters in Hong Kong. VTech acquired the consumer phone business of Lucent
Technologies, as well as a license to sell AT&T branded products on wireline
telephones and accessories in the US and Canada in April 2000. These
transactions allowed VTech to expand its product range to be sold under both the
"VTech" and the "AT&T" brand names. In August of 2002, VTech launched the industry's first 5.8GHz
cordless phone in the US. Furthermore, VTech amended the AT&T brand license
agreement in which the revised terms granted VTech exclusive rights to sell
AT&T-branded wireline telephone products and accessories in Greater China,
and non-exclusive rights in Europe, Mexico, Central and South America. Uniden Uniden's principal activities are to develop, manufacture and
sell telecommunication equipments and related products. Its operations are
carried out through the following divisions: telephone-related equipment;
wireless communication and applied equipment; digital home appliances and
others. The telephone-related equipments division deals in cordless phones and
mobile phones. The wireless communication and applied equipment division deals
in handheld walkie-talkies radios, radar detectors and scanners. The other
activities include marine electronics, CB radios and business phones
manufacturing. Uniden develops its products in Japan and China and has
manufacturing facilities in Asia. Its North American subsidiary manufactures and
markets wireless consumer products for sale in North, Central, and South
America. Uniden had sales of $729 million in 2006. Advance Wireless Technology Corp. Advance Wireless Technology Corp. (Advance Wireless) was
established in 2000 as a design house engaged in the development of wireless
communication and networking products. Its founders were predominantly from a
Taiwan-based communication company, Vidar SMS (Sun Moon Star) Group, which
develops and markets pagers and cellular phones. 8 Over the years, Advance Wireless has expanded its core wireless
technologies to include Bluetooth products, GSM phone modules, wireless PBXs,
home gateways and VoIP products such as phones and gateways. Advance Wireless
plans to focus on DECT-based products and IP PBXs in the next two (2) years.
DECT cordless phones supporting voice and data transmission
have been Advance Wireless main product line. To generate sales, Advance
Wireless sells its finished products and licenses its wireless technologies.
In 2005, net revenues reached USD$9,167,708 and USD$8,385,075
was attained in 2006. BBK Communication Equipment Ltd. Founded in 1995 as one of three (3) subsidiaries (communication
equipment, A/V electronics, and educational electronics), BBK Communication
Equipment Ltd. (BBK) specializes in the research, development, production and
distribution of DECT phones, 2.4G digital cordless telephones, GSM WLL/FWP
phones, basic telephones, caller ID phones, and 46-49MHz cordless telephones.
BBK has business partners in Russia and Vietnam, and is expanding worldwide. BBK
currently sells only to the Chinese market. It has a 43,000 sq. ft. facility in
China and annual sales of $150 million. 8. Government Regulations We are not aware of any current material effects of government
regulations on our business. However, the VoIP industry is in its infancy and is
not currently heavily regulated, and thus, in the future, governments may put in
place regulations that affect our ability to compete in foreign markets with
local communications providers. In addition, regulations may also come into
effect in our domestic market that limits our ability to compete with incumbent
telephone companies. Organizational Structure We have one (1) wholly owned subsidiary, TransAKT Holdings
Limited (a Turks and Caicos company). TransAKT Holdings Limited owns all of the
issued and outstanding shares of TransAKT Taiwan Corp, our Taiwan based
operating company. Other than holding the shares of TransAKT Taiwan Corp.,
TransAKT Holdings Limited is non-active. TransAKT Taiwan Corp. owns all of the
issued and outstanding shares of HTT (a Taiwan corporation). Property, Plants and Equipment We have no material tangible fixed assets as we subcontract all
manufacturing to third parties. Not applicable. Operating Results In 2007, we expanded our product portfolio with the launch of
our EZ DECT multiline cordless telephone systems. These revolutionary products
allow small offices to create extensions to their telecommunications similar to
a PABX system, but without the need for wires. Full functionality including
3-way conference calls and multiple lines of up to 16 cordless phones provide
smaller offices with mobile, reliable communications. 9 In September 2007, we entered into a distribution agreement
with Senao Telecom, a subsidiary of Chung-Hua Telecom. Senao Telecom is a well
known publicly traded telecommunications company in Taiwan with projected total
revenues of over USD $500 million in 2007. Senao Telecom has more than two
hundred (200) retail outlets in Taiwan, and will be distributing HTT branded
products throughout its well established channels. We anticipate generating
$200,000 in annual revenues as a result of this agreement. In the fourth quarter of 2007, we began expansion of our
operations into China and we received regulatory approval of our operations in
the second quarter of 2008. Management expects to achieve exponential revenue
growth and profits beginning in the third quarter of 2009. 1. Changes in Net Sales or Revenues Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008 decreased by
$141,546 to $9,546,132 compared to $9,687,678 for the same period in 2007. The
decrease was due to the economic downturn during the fiscal year. We expect our
sales to improve in 2009. 2. Impact of Inflation Inflation is not considered to be a material factor affecting
our continuing operations, as the inflation rate of the country in which we are
presenting our financial statements remains low. 3. Impact of Foreign Currency Fluctuations Our revenue and cost of product sales are primarily earned and
spent in Taiwan dollars (TWD). Operating expenses are likewise primarily
denominated in TWD. Consequently, significant movements in exchange rates may
have a significant impact on our financial results. In addition, sales and cost
of products for our Taiwan office are based in United States dollars (USD)
while operational expenses are in TWD, and therefore, any significant movements
in exchange rates between the USD and the TWD may also have a significant impact
on our financial results. 4. Governmental Economic, Fiscal, Monetary of Political
Policies There are no known governmental economic, fiscal, monetary or
political policies or factors that have materially affected, or could materially
affect, directly or indirectly, our operations or investments by host country
shareholders. 1. Sources of Liquidity Our primary source of liquidity as of December 31, 2008 is our
cash on hand and accounts receivable. Net cash (used in) operations for the year
ended December 31, 2008 was $(890,840) as compared to net cash (used in)
operations of $(1,110,500) during the same period in 2007. The decrease in net
cash used in operating activities was a result of the decrease in cost of sales
and operating expenses described below. Our cash and cash equivalents were
$205,658 and $228,061 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Our
current assets totaled $6,122,329 on December 31, 2008. Our current liabilities
were $4,629,227 on December 31, 2008. Working capital was $1,493,102 as of
December 31, 2008. In managements opinion, our working capital is currently
sufficient for our present requirements. Nevertheless, we will continue to
evaluate alternative sources of capital to meet our growth requirements,
including other asset or debt financing, issuing equity securities and entering
into other financing arrangements. There can be no assurance, however, that any
of the contemplated financing arrangements described herein will be available
and, if available, can be obtained on terms favorable to us. Historically, operations and short-term financing have been
sufficient to meet our cash needs. We believe that we will be able to generate
revenues from sales and raise capital through private placement offerings of our
equity securities to provide the necessary cash flow to meet anticipated working
capital requirements. However, our actual working capital needs for the long and
short -term will depend upon numerous factors, including operating results,
competition, and the availability of credit facilities, none of which can be
predicted with certainty. Future expansion will be limited by the availability
of financing products and raising capital. 10 Our Cash Flows Net sales Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2008 totaled
$9,546,132 compared to $9,687,678 for the year ended December 31, 2007, a
decrease of $141,546 or approximately 1.5% . The increase was due to the
economic downturn during the fiscal year. We expect our sales to improve in
2009. Cost of Sales Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2008 totaled
$8,489,638 or approximately 88.9% of net sales compared to $9,440,398 or
approximately 97.4% for the year ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $950,760
or approximately 10%. The decrease was due to decreased purchase costs including
purchase allowance from major vendors for the year ended December 31, 2008. Operating Expenses Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 totaled
$1,262,977 or approximately 13% of net sales compared to $1,710,456 or
approximately 18% for the year ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $447,479
or approximately 26%. The decrease in operating expenses was due to decreases in
travel expense, commission, and professional fee, which is partially offset by
increases in payroll and pension expenses. Income (Loss) from Operations Loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2008
totaled $(206,483) or approximately (2.2)% of sales compared to $(1,463,176) or
approximately (15.1)% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2007, a decrease
of $1,256,693. The decrease in loss from operations was primarily due to
decreased purchase costs and operating expenses recognized in 2008. Interest Expense Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 totaled
$122,573 compared to $113,138 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase
of $9,435 or approximately 8.3% . The increase was due to increased capital
requirements to finance the launch of new product lines during the fiscal
year. Net Income (Loss) Loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 totaled $(420,776)
compared to $(921,158) for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of
$500,382. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to decreases in purchase
costs and operating expenses recognized in 2008 as described above. 2. Financial Instruments Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $886,531 for
the year ended December 31, 2008, compared with net cash used in financing
activities of $1,749,430 for the same period in 2007. The decrease was mainly
due to the decrease in cash proceeds received from the private placement of
shares and operating loans borrowed. In 2007, we closed a private placement of
8,650,000 shares for total proceeds of $1,037,653. No private placement was
closed in 2008. Net cash provided by (used) in investing activities totaled
$20,094 for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared with $(536,360) for the
same period in 2007. The increase in cash provided by investing activities was
the result of a decrease in restricted cash in 2008 which was partially offset
by increase in investments. 3. Material Commitments for Capital Expenditures We anticipate expanding our current operations in Taiwan into
mainland China over the next twelve (12) months. We estimate that expenditures
related to this project will be approximately USD$500,000. We intend to finance
the project through the private placement of our common shares. 11 Research and Development, Patents and Licenses,
etc. In 2007, we spent USD$400,000 for the development of the
multiline cordless phone systems. No significant research and development
expenses were incurred in 2008. Trend Information VoIP has emerged as the next generation global communications
platform and has greatly impacted the telecommunications industry. Traditional
telecommunications companies are seeing their market share start to erode away
as barriers to entry in the industry are dropping due to VoIP. According to
Juniper Research, by 2009, the global VoIP market will contribute $32 billion to
a total worldwide telephony market of $260 billion, or some 12% of revenues. Ian
Cox of Juniper Research says VoIP will bring new revenue-generating
opportunities to the telephony market by combining voice services with other IP
applications. The use of VoIP for communications drastically reduces the cost
of long distance. Many of the networks and much of the hardware available today
have problems with Network Address Translation (NAT). Our diverse VoIP
offerings include a proprietary network that operates in NAT environments as
well as behind firewalls, and also includes hardware that works with or without
a computer. We currently have four (4) different hardware offerings and are
continuing to expand on them. As more and more companies enter the VoIP market, margins on
hardware are shrinking in exchange for capturing clients. As the larger
incumbent telecommunications companies enter the market and offer significant
discounts to retain their existing client base, we will be forced to offer the
same rates in order to stay competitive. In addition to risks described elsewhere in this report, we are
subject to each of, and the cumulative effect of all the following
uncertainties. We have risk management practices in place designed to offset
these uncertainties to the greatest extent possible, however there are no
guarantees that these practices will be effective. These uncertainties include,
but are not necessarily limited to: Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We do not currently have any off-balance sheet
arrangements. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations
The following table provides information, as of the latest
fiscal year, with respect to our known contractual obligations, including
amounts aggregated by contractual obligation. 12 We lease various office facilities under operating leases that
terminate on various dates. Rental expense for these leases consisted of
approximately $83,677 and $64,717 for the years ending December 31, 2008 and
2007, respectively. Our lease for office space in Taiwan expires in December
2009 and our lease in Canada expires in 2010. Directors and Senior Management None of the above directors or officers is related and no

Expenses of the Issue Not applicable to Form 20-F filed as an Annual Report. Share Capital Not applicable to Form 20-F/A filed as an Annual Report. 18 Memorandum and Articles of Association Reference is hereby made to our Articles of Amalgamation
(Articles) and to our Bylaws, each of which is incorporated herein by
reference to, respectively, Exhibits 1.1 and 1.2 to our Registration Statement
on Form 20-F, file number 000-50392 as filed on September 16, 2003. On June 23, 2006, our Board and majority shareholders approved

Mr. Liu Fu Ming for a twelve (12) month period beginning on Aprill 27, 2007.
Persuant to this agreement, we issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock to Mr.
Liu, as compensation for service provided. These shares were recorded at the
fair market value of $326,778, based on the price of stock on the agreement
date. Since the compensation for services is settled through issuance of shares,
we recorded $195,488 as an expense for the period and the balance of $131,290
was recorded as prepaid consulting for the service not performed as part of
equity. Exchange Controls There are no governmental laws, decrees, regulations or other
legislation of Canada that may affect the import or export of capital for
use. Other than the withholding of any taxes due under the terms of
specific treaties between countries on dividends paid to our shareholders, there
are no restrictions on the remittance of dividends, interests or other
payments. Taxation The discussions below summarize the material tax considerations
relevant to an investment in common shares by individuals and corporations who,
for income tax purposes, are resident in the U.S. for purposes of the Convention
(as hereinafter defined) and are not resident in Canada, who hold common shares
as a capital asset (a Holder), and who do not hold the common shares in
carrying on a business through a permanent establishment in Canada or in
connection with a fixed base in Canada (collectively, "Unconnected U.S.
Shareholders" or "Holders"). The tax consequences of an investment in common
shares by investors who are not Unconnected U.S. Shareholders may differ
substantially from the tax consequences discussed herein. The discussion of U.S.
tax considerations is addressed only to Unconnected U.S. Shareholders whose
"functional currency" within the meaning of Section 985 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), is the U.S. dollar, and to U.S. citizens
who are not residents in the U.S. for the purpose of the Convention, but who
otherwise meet the definition of Unconnected U.S. Shareholders. Furthermore, the
discussion of U.S. tax considerations do not address the tax treatment of
Unconnected U.S. Shareholders that own, or are deemed for U.S. federal income
tax purposes to own, ten percent (10%) or more of the total combined voting
power of all classes of our voting stock. The discussion of Canadian tax
considerations does not address the tax treatment of a trust, company,
organization or other arrangement that is a resident of the U.S. and that is
generally exempt from U.S. tax. This discussion does not address all of the income tax
consequences that may be applicable to any Holder subject to special treatment
under the U.S. federal income tax law or to any particular Holder in light of
such Holder's particular facts and circumstances. Some Holders, including tax
exempt entities, banks, insurance companies and persons who hold common shares
as part of a hedging transaction, may be subject to special or different rules
not discussed below. The discussion of U.S. tax considerations is based on the
provisions of the Code. The discussion of Canadian tax considerations is based upon the
provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"), the Convention
between Canada and the U.S. with Respect to Taxes on Income and Capital, as
amended from time to time (the "Convention"), and our understanding of published
19 administrative practices of Canadian Customs and Revenue Agency
and judicial decision, all of which are subject to change. The discussion does
not take into account the tax laws of the various provinces or territories of
Canada or the tax laws of the various state and local jurisdictions in the
U.S. U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations Unconnected U.S. Shareholders generally will treat the gross
amount of the distributions paid by us, including the amount of any Canadian tax
withheld, as foreign source dividend income for U.S. federal income tax purposes
to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as computed
for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Distribution in excess of that amount will
reduce an Unconnected U.S. Shareholder's tax basis in the common shares, but not
below zero, and the remainder, if any, will be treated as taxable capital gains.
In general, in computing its U.S. federal income tax liability, an Unconnected
U.S. Shareholder may elect for each taxable year whether to claim a deduction
or, subject to the limitations described below, a credit for Canadian taxes
withheld from dividends paid on their common shares. If the Unconnected U.S.
Shareholder elects to claim a credit for such Canadian taxes, the election will
be binding for all foreign taxes paid or accrued by the Shareholder for such
taxable year. The Code applies various limitations on the amount of foreign tax
credit that may be available to a U.S. taxpayer based upon the segregation of
foreign source income into separate categories of income. The amount of credit
which may be claimed with respect to the category of income to which the
dividend is allocated, and to which the foreign taxes are attributable generally
may not exceed the same portion of the U.S. tax on worldwide taxable income,
before applying the foreign tax credit as the U.S. Holder's foreign source
taxable income allocation to such category bears to such U.S. Holder's entire
taxable income. The foreign tax credit is disallowed for dividends on stock
unless a minimum holding period is satisfied and additional limitations may
restrict the ability of some individuals to claim the foreign tax credit.
Accordingly, we urge investors to consult their own tax advisors with respect to
the potential consequences to them of the foreign tax credit limitations. For U. S. federal income tax purposes, the amount of any
distributions made on a common share to an Unconnected U.S. Shareholder in
Canadian dollars will equal the U.S. dollar value of the Canadian dollars
calculated by reference to the appropriate exchange rate in effect on the date
of receipt of the distribution, regardless of whether the Canadian dollars are
actually converted into U.S. dollars upon receipt. Unconnected U.S. Shareholders
are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of foreign
currency gain or loss, if any, on any Canadian dollars which are converted into
U.S. dollars subsequent to receipt by the shareholder. The sale of common shares generally will result in a gain or
loss to the Holder in an amount equal to the difference between the amount
realized and the Holder's adjusted cost basis in the shares. Provided that the
Holder is not considered a "dealer' in the shares sold, gain or loss on the sale
of the common shares will generally be capital gain or loss. Capital losses are deductible to the extent of capital gains.
Individual taxpayers may deduct excess capital losses of up to US$3,000 a year,
US$1,500 in the case of a married individual filing separately, from ordinary
income. Non-corporate taxpayers may carry-forward unused capital losses
indefinitely. Unused capital losses of a corporation may be carried back three
(3) years and carried forward five (5) years. Canadian Tax Considerations Dividends paid or credited, or that we deem to pay or credit,
on the common shares to Unconnected U.S. Shareholders will be subject to
Canadian withholding tax. Under the Convention, the maximum rate of withholding
tax on dividends paid or credited on the common shares is fifteen percent (15%)
if the beneficial owner of such dividends is an Unconnected U.S. Shareholder.
However, that rate is reduced to five percent (5%) under the Convention if the
beneficial owner of such dividends is an Unconnected U.S. Shareholder that is a
corporation that owns at least ten percent (10%) of our voting stock. An Unconnected U.S. Shareholder will not be subject to tax in
Canada on any capital gain realized upon the disposition or deemed disposition
of the common shares, provided that the common shares do not constitute "taxable
Canadian property" of the shareholder within the meaning of the Tax Act. Canada does not currently impose any estate taxes or succession
duties. 20 Dividends and Paying Agents Not applicable to Form 20-F/A filed as an Annual Report. Statements By Experts Not applicable to Form 20-F/A filed as an Annual Report. Documents on Display All documents filed in connection with this Annual Report have
been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) using the
Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (EDGAR) system. The SEC
maintains a Web site on the Internet at the address http://www.sec.gov that
contains reports, proxy information statements and other information regarding
registrants that file electronically with the SEC. Subsidiary Information Not applicable. Currency Exchange Rate Sensitivity The results of our operations are subject to currency
translational risk and currency transactional risk. Regarding currency
translational risk, the operating results and financial position of our
subsidiaries are reported in TWD and then translated into USD at the applicable
exchange rate for preparation of our consolidated financial statements. The
fluctuation of the TWD in relation to the USD will, therefore, have an impact
upon profitability of our operations and may also affect the value of our assets
and the amount of shareholders equity. In regards to transaction risk, our functional currency is TWD
and are activities are predominantly executed in TWD. However, due to the fact
that the majority of our financings are completed in USD, we are not subject to
significant operational exposures due to fluctuations in these currencies. Our
common shares are listed on the OTC.BB and are bought and sold in USD (see
tables in Item 9). We have not entered into any agreements or purchased any
instruments to hedge any possible currency risks at this time. Interest Rate Sensitivity We currently have no significant short-term or long-term debt
requiring interest payments. This does not require us to consider entering into
any agreements or purchasing any instruments to hedge against possible interest
rate risks at this time. Our interest earning investments are short-term. Thus,
any reductions in future income or carrying values due to future interest rate
declines are believed to be immaterial. Commodity Price Sensitivity Not applicable. Not applicable to Form 20-F/A filed as an Annual Report. 21 PART II Not applicable. Not applicable. We have elected to report under Item 15T. Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act
reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the United States SEC rules and forms, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and
acting Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting Within ninety (90) days prior to the date of this report, we
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
our management, including our President and acting Chief Financial Officer, of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon the foregoing, our
President and our acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures are effective. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting There were no significant changes in our internal controls or
in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to
the date of their evaluation, including any significant deficiencies or material
weaknesses of internal controls that would require corrective action. We have no formal audit committee, and thus, we have no audit
committee financial expert. Our Board is responsible for reviewing our financial
reporting procedures, internal controls, and the performance of our auditors.
Our Board is also responsible for reviewing all disclosure with respect to
financial matters prior to filing or release. Ms. Taifen Day is our Chief
Financial Officer and a Chartered Accountant in the Province of Alberta, Canada.
Ms. Day reports to our Board in her capacity as Chief Financial Officer. TransAKT Ltd. (the "Corporation") will adhere to high ethical
standards in all of its business activities and all of the Corporation's
directors, officers, employees and consultants are expected to maintain these
standards. The Corporation's directors, officers, employees and consultants are
expected to strive to deal fairly with the Corporation's security holders,
customers, suppliers and competitors. 22 The Corporation and its directors, officers, employees and
consultants shall comply with all laws and regulations applicable to the
Corporation's activities. Directors, officers, employees and consultants must
diligently ensure that their conduct is not and cannot be interpreted as being
in contravention of laws governing the affairs of the Corporation in any
jurisdiction where it carries on business. In view of the ever-increasing complexity of the law affecting
business activity, whenever a director, officer, employee or consultant is in
doubt about the application or interpretation of any legal requirement, the
director, officer, employee or consultant should seek the advice of the
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or, if that is not
considered satisfactory, the Corporation's legal counsel. No business operation should be considered effective or
complete without proper attention to safety, health and the
environment. The Corporation believes that its directors, officers,
employees and consultants are a valuable asset to be treated fairly
without discrimination by reason of race, national or ethnic origin,
color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status or physical
handicap. Directors, officers, employees and consultants shall not
use their status with the Corporation to obtain personal gain from those
doing or seeking to do business with the Corporation. Directors, officers, employees and consultants shall not
furnish, on behalf of the Corporation, expensive gifts or provide
excessive benefits to other persons. At times, the Corporation's suppliers
may offer gifts, including entertainment. While gifts of cash are never
acceptable, you may accept nominal gifts on behalf of the Corporation. If
in doubt, consult a senior officer of the Corporation for advice in this
regard or if you are an officer or director, consult the Chairman of the
Corporation. The direct or indirect use of the Corporation's funds,
goods or services as contributions to political parties, campaigns or
candidates for election to any level of government requires approval of a
senior executive officer of the Corporation. All dealings between directors, officers, employees and
consultants of the Corporation and public officials are to be conducted in
a manner that will not, and will not appear to, compromise the integrity
or impugn the reputation of any public official or the
Corporation. Directors, officers, employees and consultants who become
involved in a situation in which their personal interests conflict or
might conflict with their duties to the Corporation must immediately
report the situation to their manager or a senior executive officer or, in
the case of officers or directors, to the Chairman of the
Corporation. Directors, officers, employees and consultants have an
obligation to promote the best interests of the Corporation at all times.
They should avoid any action which may involve a conflict of interest with
the Corporation. Where conflicts of interest arise, directors, officers,
employees and consultants must provide full disclosure of the
circumstances and not be involved in any related decision making
process. Directors, officers, employees and consultants should
also avoid apparent conflicts of interest, which occur where a reasonable
observer might assume there is a conflict of interest and, therefore, a
loss of objectivity in their dealings on behalf of the
Corporation. All directors, officers, employees and consultants are
responsible for protecting the Corporation's assets and managers are
specifically responsible for establishing and maintaining appropriate
internal controls to safeguard the Corporation's assets against loss from
unauthorized use or disposition. The books and records of the Corporation must reflect in
reasonable detail all of its business transactions in a timely and
accurate manner in order to, among other things, permit the preparation of
accurate financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting 23 principles. All assets and liabilities of the Corporation
must be recorded as necessary to maintain accountability for them. All
business transactions must be properly authorized and transactions must be
supported by materially accurate documentation in reasonable detail and
recorded properly. No information may be concealed from the Corporation's
external auditors, the board of directors of the Corporation or any
committee of the board of directors of the Corporation. In addition, it is
illegal to fraudulently influence, coerce, manipulate or mislead an
external auditor who is auditing the Corporation's financial
statements. Certain of the Corporation's records, reports, papers,
devices, processes, plans, methods and apparatus are considered by the
Corporation to be confidential information, and directors, officers,
employees and consultants are prohibited from revealing such matters
except as may be allowed under the Corporation's Disclosure Policy.
Confidential information includes, but is not limited to, technical
information, results, observations, analyses, compilations, evaluations,
assessments, business or commercial data or plans and investor related
data. The term "confidential information" relates to the underlying nature
of the information, covering both oral and written information, and is
independent of the medium on which the information is stored. It thus
covers information stored on paper, various magnetic media, computer,
microfiche or any other medium. During the course of employment in the case of employees,
the term of the consulting contract with the Corporation in the case of
consultants and during their term as directors or officers in the case of
directors and officers of the Corporation and for a period of one year
thereafter, directors, officers, employees and consultants shall not use
for their own financial gain or disclose for the use of others,
confidential information, obtained as a result of their position with the
Corporation. As a publicly traded entity, the Corporation has an
obligation to comply with the rules relating to disclosure of material
information under the relevant Canadian and American securities
legislation and the rules, policies and guidance of the OTCBB. In accordance with the Corporation's disclosure
obligations, all financial communications and reports must contain full,
accurate and timely manner. All directors, officers, employees and
consultants who are responsible for the preparation of the Corporation's
public disclosure, or who provide information as part of the process, have
a responsibility to ensure that such disclosure is prepared and
information is provided honestly, accurately and in compliance with the
various disclosure controls and procedures. Any director, officer, employee or consultant in
possession of material information must not disclose such information
before its public disclosure and must take steps to ensure that the
Corporation complies with its timely disclosure obligations. Speculation in business, shares and other securities,
land or other ventures of any kind on the basis of confidential
information obtained in the course of a director's, officer's, employee's
or consultant's duties with the Corporation is prohibited. This includes
but is not limited to shares or securities of any company which the
Corporation is evaluating or is studying as a possible acquisition or
joint venture partner or with whom a major contract may be concluded. Use
or disclosure of such information can result in civil or criminal
penalties, for both the individuals involved and the
Corporation. It is the responsibility of every director, officer,
employee and consultant to bring to the attention of the Corporation
knowledge of any situation which might adversely affect the Corporation's
reputation. All directors, officers, employees and consultants are
encouraged to report, verbally, or in writing any evidence of improper
practice of which they are aware. As used here, the term "improper
practice" means any illegal, fraudulent, dishonest, unsafe, negligent or
otherwise unethical action by a director, officer, employee or
consultant. 24 The Corporation and the Corporation's directors,
officers, employees and consultants shall comply with copyright law and
any other laws applicable to the use of computer software, hardware and
related materials, as well as with any and all contracts entered into by
the Corporation with suppliers or licensers of computer software, hardware
and related materials. Any waiver of this Code for directors or officers may be
made only by the board of directors and will be promptly disclosed as
required by law, regulation or stock exchange requirement. Any amendment
of this Code will be disclosed as required by law. Waivers in respect of
employers or consultants may be given by the President and Chief Executive
Officer who shall report any waivers given to the board of directors at
its next meeting. All directors, officers, employees and consultants are
responsible for abiding by this Code. This includes individuals responsible for
the failure to exercise proper supervision and to detect and report a violation
by their subordinates. Violations of this Code will result in the Corporation
taking effective remedial action commensurate with the severity of the
violation. This action may include disciplinary measures up to and including
termination in the case of a director, employee or officer or termination of the
consulting contract in the case of a consultant and, if warranted, legal
proceedings. If determined appropriate, a matter may be referred to the
appropriate authorities. This Code of Conduct has been approved by the board of
directors of the Corporation. In addition, we practice corporate governance in accordance
with rules and regulations in Canada. Corporate governance relates to the activities of our Board who
are elected by and accountable to the shareholders and takes into account the
role of management who are appointed by the Board and who are charged with our
on-going management. Our Board encourages sound corporate governance practices
designed to promote our well being and on-going development, having always as
its ultimate objective the best long-term interests of us and the enhancement of
value for all shareholders. The Board also believes that sound corporate
governance benefits our employees and the communities in which we operate. The
Board is of the view that our corporate governance policies and practices,
outlined below, are appropriate and substantially consistent with the guidelines
for improved corporate governance in Canada as adopted by TSX. Audit Fees Our external auditors, KCCW Accountancy Corp., charged total

TRANSAKT LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008
| Note 1 ORGANIZATION |
TransAKT Ltd. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta on June 3, 1997. The Company completed the acquisition of Green Point Resources Inc. on October 18, 2000 whereby it became a publicly traded company listed on the Canadian Venture Exchange. In 2004 the Company voluntarily delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange and retained a listing on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board in the United States.
In October 2004 the Company purchased certain assets of IP Mental Inc., a Taiwan based Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) company. The company name was changed from TransAKT Corp. to TransAKT Ltd. on September 29, 2006. The Company designs and develops Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solutions and mobile payment terminals for the consumer electronics industry.
On November 15, 2006 TransAKT Ltd and the shareholders of Taiwan Halee International Co. Ltd. (HTT), entered into a Share Exchange Agreement in which TransAKT Ltd. acquired 100% of Taiwan Halee International Co. Ltd.s outstanding common stock. HTT was incorporated under the laws of Republic of China in 1985. HTT is engaged in designing, manufacturing and distribution of Taiwan telecommunications equipment. The acquisition has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the merger of the two companies has been recorded as a recapitalization of HTT, with HTT being treated as the continuing entity. The historical financial statements presented are those of HTT. The continuing company has retained December 31 as its fiscal year end.
| Note 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TransAKT Holdings Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries Taiwan Halee International Co. Ltd. and TransAKT Taiwan Limited, collectively referred to within as the Company. All material intercompany accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.
Exchange Gain (Loss):
During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the transactions of TransAKT Holdings Limited, Taiwan Halee International Co. Ltd. and TransAKT Taiwan Limited were denominated in foreign currency and were recorded in Taiwan Dollar (TWD) and Canadian Dollar (CAD) at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Exchange gains and losses are recognized for the different foreign exchange rates applied when the foreign currency assets and liabilities are settled.
Translation Adjustment
The Companys functional currency is the Taiwan and Canadian dollar; however the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars ($).
As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the accounts of TransAKT Holdings Limited, Taiwan Halee International Co. Ltd. and TransAKT Taiwan Limited were maintained, and its financial statements were expressed, in CAD and TWD. Such financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars (USD) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounts Standards (SFAS) No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, with CAD and TWD as the functional currencies. According to the Statement, all assets and liabilities were translated at the current exchange rate, stockholders equity are translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income as a component of shareholders equity.
F-8
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Companys revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104. Revenues are recognized when finished products are shipped to unaffiliated customers and both title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred and collectibility is reasonably assured.
The Companys revenues are recorded upon confirmed acceptance after inspection by the customers of the Company.
Stock-Based Compensation
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which requires the measurement of all employee share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, using a fair-value-based method and the recording of such expense in the consolidated statements of operations. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) regarding the SECs interpretation of SFAS 123R and the valuation of share-based payments for public companies.
Advertising
Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs of promotion for corporate image and product marketing and costs of direct advertising. The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes 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.
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on the recognition and derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities; classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities; accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions; accounting for income taxes in interim periods; and income tax disclosures. The cumulative effect of the application of the provisions of FIN 48 is described in note 9.
Statement of Cash Flows
In accordance with SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows, cash flows from the Companys operations is based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities
F-9
reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company has a diversified customer base. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for un-collectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to substantial risks from, among other things, intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Companys management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Companys legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Companys financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Allowance for doubtful debts amounted to $187,353 as at December 31, 2008 ($145,839 as at December 31, 2007).
Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market. The Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value and allowance is made
F-10
for writing down their inventories to market value, if lower. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, inventory consisted only of finished goods.
Property, Plant & Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives of:
| Furniture and Fixtures | 3 -5 years | |
| Equipment | 3- 5 years | |
| Computer Hardware and Software | 3- 5 years | |
| Automobile | 3-5 years |
As of December 31, 2008, Property, Plant & Equipment consist of the following:
| Computer and office equipment | $ | 81,587 | ||
| Accumulated depreciation | (72,382 | ) | ||
| $ | 9,205 |
Depreciation expenses were $18,526 and $64,976 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of financial accounting standard No. 107, Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), Earnings per share. SFAS No. 128 superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Net loss per share for all periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on
F-11
the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or the Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. FSP No. FAS 157-4 amends Statement No. 157 to provide additional guidance on (i) estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability, and (ii) circumstances that may indicate that a transaction is not orderly. FSP No. FAS 157-4 also requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements in interim and annual reporting periods. FSP No. FAS 157-4 is effective for the Company for the quarter ending June 30, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP No. FAS 157-4 to have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP No. FAS 115-2). FSP No. FAS 115-2 provides additional guidance on the timing of impairment recognition and greater clarity about the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. FSP No. FAS 115-2 also requires additional disclosures about impairments in interim and annual reporting periods. FSP No. FAS 115-2 is effective for the Company for the quarter ending June 30, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP No. FAS 115-2 to have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies, as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. The disclosure requirements of FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1 will be required to be included in the Companys interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ending June 30, 2009.
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1, Employers Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets, which amends Statement No. 132(R) Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and 106, to require more detailed disclosures about employers plan assets, including employers investment strategies, major categories of plan assets, concentrations of risk within plan assets, and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets. The disclosure requirements of FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1 will be required to be included in the Companys annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2009.
Going Concern
The Company has incurred a net loss of $420,776 and $921,158 during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $1,789,249 AND $1,368,473 as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Companys assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. This presentation presumes funds will be available to finance ongoing research and development, operations and capital expenditures and permit the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future.
F-12
The ability of the Company to continue research and development projects and realize the capitalized value of proprietary technologies and related assets is dependent upon future commercial success of the technologies and raising sufficient funds to continue research and development as well as to effectively market its products. Through December 31, 2008, the Company has not realized commercial success of the technologies, nor have they raised sufficient funds to continue research and development or to market its products.
There can be no assurances that there will be adequate financing available to the Company and the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company has taken certain restructuring steps to provide the necessary capital to continue its operations. These steps included: (1) Tightly budgeting and controlling all expenses; (2) Expanding the companys operations into China, expanding product lines and recruiting a strong sales team to significantly increase sales revenue and profit in 2009; (3) The Company plans to continue actively seeing additional funding opportunities to improve and expand upon our product lines.

| Note 9 INCOME TAXES |
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada and has operations in primarily two tax jurisdictions - Taiwan and Canada. For certain operations in Taiwan and Canada, the Company has incurred net accumulated operating losses for income tax purposes. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that these net accumulated operating losses 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 December 31, 2008 and 2007. Accordingly, the Company has no net deferred tax assets.
Canada
The statutory tax rate under Canada tax law is 34%. The Company has significant income tax net operating losses (NOL) carried forward from prior years. Due to the uncertainty of the
F-16
realizability of the related deferred tax assets, a reserve equal to the amount of deferred income taxes has been established at December 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company has provided 100% valuation allowance to the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Taiwan

| Note 12 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, effective January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 applies to investments, which were composed of mutual funds that were measured and reported on a fair value basis.
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value of certificates of deposit, the Company uses the market approach. SFAS No. 157 establishes a hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy increases the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and related disclosures by maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Companys own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
Level 1 Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation of these instruments does not require a high degree of judgment as the valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets that
F-18
are readily and regularly available. The Company does not currently have any financial instruments utilizing Level 1 inputs.
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The certificates of deposit, which were the only component of long-term investments, utilized Level 2 inputs. These financial instruments are valued by quoted prices that are less frequent than those in active markets or by models that use various assumptions that are derived from or supported by data that is generally observable in the marketplace. Valuations in this category are inherently less reliable than quoted market prices due to the degree of subjectivity involved in determining appropriate methodologies and the applicable underlying assumptions.
Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data. The Company does not currently have any financial instruments utilizing Level 3 inputs. These financial instruments have significant inputs that cannot be validated by readily determinable data and generally involve considerable judgment by management.
The following table summarizes by level within the fair value hierarchy investments as of December 31, 2008.
| Level 1 | Total | ||||||
| Investments | |||||||
| Mutual funds | $ | 152,569 | $ | 152,569 | |||
| $ | 152,569 | $ | 152,569 |
