Failed China RTO:

On June 1, 2011, China Youth Media, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Midwest Energy Emissions Corp., a North Dakota corporation (“Midwest”), pursuant to which at closing China Youth Media Merger Sub, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company formed for the purpose of such transaction) will merge into Midwest, which will result in Midwest becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Upon closing, all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Midwest shall be converted, by virtue of the Merger, into such number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Merger Shares”) of the Company so that the shareholders of Midwest will upon conversion of the Merger Shares own 90.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock after giving effect to the Merger. The Merger Agreement provides that 15% of the Merger Shares shall be held in escrow following the closing for a period of up to 150 days subject to the achievement of certain performance milestones.

Previous Description:

We are engaged in the business of developing, marketing and distributing programming content, multi-media technologies, and advertising via the Internet. We expect that within the next 12 months, our business will shift significantly to aggregation and distribution of international content for Internet consumption in China. We will focus a significant amount of our available resources to building and launching a large scale, advertising supported Internet media portal in China. We believe that significant opportunities exist in the China Internet advertising space, and we will actively pursue this potential source of revenue during the year ending December 31, 2008.



On November 23, 2007, we executed a letter of intent (LOI) with the Chinese government body China Youth Net (CYN) and China based Internet company WKC to build, launch and operate a large scale, advertising supported Internet media portal in China, pursuant to which we will contribute the exclusive China rights to our ViraCast technology:

* ViraCast ( video website available in China )

We are developing a suite of patent pending applications and services that allow for the enterprise work flow management, processing, distribution and control of content for next generation devices and emerging content delivery platforms. Our proprietary ViraCast technology provides content producers, advertisers, and marketers new revenue models built around these emerging platforms with enhanced user data, reporting, and accountability.

Our strategy for ViraCast is to pinpoint unexploited and unrealized market opportunities that emerge from the evolving media and advertising landscapes and build solutions around them. In particular, the company is focusing on new markets that arise from the following sources:

Peer-to-peer Distribution - the distribution of audio or video files over the Internet for listening or viewing on mobile devices and personal computers;
Online Advertising;
Viral Marketing - marketing and advertising techniques that use pre-existing social networks to produce increases in brand awareness through self-replicating viral processes.

Recent Development:

On June 10, 2008 our subsidiary, Youth Media (Hong Kong) Limited (“YMHK”), entered into a Cooperation Agreement with China Youth Net Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (“CYN”), China Youth Interactive Cultural Media (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (“CYI”) and China Youth Net Advertising Co. Ltd. (“CYN Ads”) to cooperate with each other to develop, build and operate a fully managed video and audio distribution network under the auspices of CYN (the “Campus Network”). On July 3, 2009, YMHK entered into a new Cooperation Agreement, with CYI and CYN Ads which replaced the original Cooperation Agreement (together referred to as the “Cooperation Agreement”).

In addition, and as previously disclosed, on December 26, 2008, our subsidiaries, YMHK and Youth Media (Beijing) Limited (“YMBJ”), entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “Joint Venture Agreement”) with CYI and Xinhua Sports & Entertainment Limited (“XSEL”), formerly known as Xinhua Finance Media Limited, to develop business opportunities contemplated by the Cooperation Agreement. The Joint Venture Agreement provided working capital for the purposes of deploying and marketing the Campus Network. The Joint Venture Agreement provided working capital for a minimum of twelve months ending December 31, 2009 and provides that YMHK, YMBJ and CYI shall be obligated on a joint and several basis, following written notice from XSEL, to return, repay or reimburse, as the case may be, all of the working capital provided by XSEL, upon demand by XSEL in the sole discretion of XSEL, together with interest accrued at an annual rate of 7 percent. At October 31, 2010, the Joint Venture Agreement with XSEL provided $2.47 million in gross proceeds.

On November 19, 2010, agreements (the “Termination Agreements”) were signed in China by the respective parties terminating the Cooperation Agreement and Joint Venture Agreement, as well as a business and technical services agreement, commercial and technical services agreement and an advertising agreement which were signed in conjunction with the Cooperation Agreement. Pursuant to English translations which we have obtained, each of the Termination Agreements provides that any party to such Termination Agreement is not responsible for any obligations, debt or liabilities to any other parties and is not liable or entitled to any claim.

The foregoing description of the Termination Agreements are qualified in their entirety by the full text of such documents, which English translations are filed as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4, respectively, to Form 8-K filed with the Commission on December 15, 2010.

As a result of the foregoing, we have recently substantially reduced our operations and terminated various employees in our subsidiary, YMBJ. While we are trying to maintain limited operations, no assurance can be made that we will be able to continue our business operations for more than a limited period of time, including but not limited to maintaining our ITVN media portal called Koobee. Because of these recent developments, we may be forced to further scale down or possibly cease all business operations, as a result of which investors could lose their investment.
