This statement is being filed to reflect the acquisition by Sparkle Byte (as defined below) of certain shares of the Common Stock (as defined below) and certain warrants to acquire the Common Stock pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) entered into on September 20, 2015 between the Issuer and He Xie Ai Qi (as defined below).

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting the last paragraph thereof and adding the following at the end thereof:

 

On June 22, 2016, the Issuer, He Xie Ai Qi, Tianjin Jingran and Sparkle Byte entered into a supplemental agreement (the “Supplemental Agreement”).

Sparkle Byte plans to acquire the remaining 4,340,741 shares of the Common Stock and warrants to acquire 868,148 shares of the Common Stock pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

A copy of the Supplemental Agreement is filed as Exhibit 99.3 hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by replacing Item 5(a) thereof in its entirety with the following:

 

(a) As of the date hereof, Sparkle Byte directly beneficially owns 8,498,765 shares of the Common Stock, representing 17.3% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding Common Stock. In addition, Sparkle Byte directly beneficially owns warrants that entitle Sparkle Byte to acquire 1,699,753 shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.69 per share of the Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Common Stock issuable pursuant to the warrants represents 3.5% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding Common Stock.

 

Snow Moon may be deemed to have voting and dispositive power with respect to and have beneficial ownership of 8,498,765 shares of the Common Stock owned by Sparkle Byte and 1,699,753 shares of the Common Stock issuable pursuant to the warrants owned by Sparkle Byte, representing 17.3% and 3.5%, respectively, of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding Common Stock.

 

Tianjin Jingran may be deemed to have voting and dispositive power with respect to and have beneficial ownership of 8,498,765 shares of the Common Stock owned by Sparkle Byte and 1,699,753 shares of the Common Stock issuable pursuant to the warrants owned by Sparkle Byte, representing 17.3% and 3.5%, respectively, of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding Common Stock.

10,198,518 shares of the Common Stock, representing 20.7% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding Common Stock.

 

Neither the filing of this Amendment No. 1 by the Reporting Persons nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any of such persons, other than Sparkle Byte, that it is the beneficial owner of any of the shares of the Common Stock referred to herein for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to the Issuer.

 

Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:

 

The terms of the Supplemental Agreement described in Items 3 of this Amendment No. 1 are incorporated by reference in this Item 6.
