FremantleMedia is one of the largest international creators and producers of entertainment brands in the world with leading prime time drama, serial drama, entertainment and factual entertainment programming in over 40 countries worldwide. FremantleMedia is at the forefront of developing cross- platform media experiences through its FMX operation, which is successfully developing new entertainment brands and concepts specifically for mobile, broadband, games consoles and Internet Protocol Television (IPTV).

FremantleMedia is a subsidiary of RTL Group, Europe's largest television and radio broadcast company, which is 90% owned by Bertelsmann AG, an integrated media and entertainment company that commands leading positions in the world's media markets.

Wenning Xing, Chief Representative, FremantleMedia China said, "This is a very positive step for us in China. With Idea Asia we look to collaborate closely to bring this show to millions. FremantleMedia is a leader in content innovation worldwide and we expect this strong momentum to continue with Small Talk in China".

Patrick Schult, Managing Director of FremantleMedia Asia said, "Small Talk has always been one of my favorite formats. We are delighted at the prospect of bringing this show to China and continuing its successful run worldwide".

Small Talk is a game show which is hugely successful around the world, starring little people, played by big people and enjoyed by viewers of all ages. Children aged between six and eight from various schools are taped prior to the studio recording, giving their answers and opinions to questions about life in general; the questions range from 'How long is a woman pregnant for before giving birth?' to 'What is a toupee?'. The answers are, in turn, hilarious, charming and bizarre! The studio centerpiece is a video wall of nine screens, with three contestants trying to predict how the children will respond to the questions.

Aired in over 15 countries, Small Talk has garnered rating successes all around the world. Just to name a few, in Belgium, a hit with audiences from launch, Small Talk consistently ranked No.1 in its time slot across all key demographic groups. Performing particularly well for commercial target Adults 15-34, Small Talk achieved a 43% share - 231% above its nearest competitor. In Sweden, Small Talk consistently ranked No.1 in its time slot across all key target demographics, attaining a 34% share for all viewers (3+) and 40% for young adults (12-24), Small Talk exceeded its nearest competitor by 42% and 111% respectively. In Germany, a highlight in RTL's prime time schedule, Small Talk in Germany improved on the broadcaster's time slot average by 57% for all viewers (6+) and 91% for Women.

Dominique Ullmann, Executive Director of Idea Asia, said, "With the addition of Small Talk, AAGH has now secured various shows from three major format providers in the industry. This demonstrates the confidence level we have generated among peers. Plus, the shows we have are of nice variety, which not only allow us to target different audience groups, but also provide to the marketers a one-stop advertising and promotion platform reaching the mass public. All these put us in tremendous position to continue our expansion in the TV Entertainment industry in China."

Press Release Source: Asia Global Holdings Corporation
Asia Global Holdings Corporation Secures Sixth TV Entertainment Format in 2008; Acquires exclusive rights for 50/50 TV Show in China
Tuesday May 6, 9:00 am ET
LOS ANGELES, May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Asia Global Holdings Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: AAGH - News) announces that Idea Asia Limited (Idea Asia), its wholly-owned subsidiary, has signed a contract with 2waytraffic for the exclusive right of presenting the TV show 50-50 in China.
ADVERTISEMENT
2waytraffic is listed on the AIM of the London Stock Exchange and is a leading international developer and exploiter of interactive entertainment content for television, mobile and digital platforms with an unrivalled catalogue of over 200 high quality entertainment formats including "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?", "Brainiest", "Mr & Mrs", "Take It Or Leave It" and "That's The Question." With its headquarters in Hilversum, the Netherlands, 2waytraffic has rapidly grown in the last two years and now oversees activities in more than 60 countries worldwide.
50-50 is the ultimate quiz show which extends the 50-50 Lifeline from Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? into a new format. Everything is about making a straight choice between two possibilities and contestants win the chance to fill in a blank check with the amount they think they deserve to win. 50-50 can run weekly or daily, and is versatile enough to play in any timeslot.
Answering questions individually but ultimately working as a team, contestants must select an answer from two possible options before the question is passed over to their partner who must decide whether they agree or disagree. If they agree, the original answer is locked in, but if they disagree, they overrule their partner's answer and the other option is locked in instead. After two nail-biting rounds throughout which the stakes rise and the game-play gets trickier, the couple reaches the climax of the game.  

...it's time to rebound!

Quarterly Report



ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Overview and Future Plan of Operations

In the first three months of 2008, our quarterly revenues grew by 84% from $828,495 in 2007 to $1,524,346 in 2008. Nearly all of our revenue and the increase resulted from increased sales from our advertising and media business.

For the quarterly period ended March 31, 2008 we experienced a profit of $390,932 compared to a loss of $2,947,163 for the same period in 2007. The increase in profitability is primarily attributed to significantly lowered costs in our TV entertainment business for the quarter and decreased non-cash business expansion costs related to our business expansion in China, compared to the same quarter in 2007.

In the first quarter of 2008 we continued our expansion into TV entertainment in China by broadening our opportunities for revenue with the acquisition of new program formats to exploit in China, while concurrently lowering our operating costs for this business segment by cutting the costs of production related to our first TV effort Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?. During 2007 we entered the television entertainment market when we produced and distributed the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? TV show in China. We set up our own studio and began producing the TV show. The first show aired September 29, 2007 and became a weekly episode thereafter. While the show received high ratings the sales and distribution performances were unsatisfactory resulting in losses. Management decided to discontinue the show. Under our new business model we are able to expand our distribution and revenue potential without significant upfront costs as in the past. This new strategy, management believes, gives the Company increased opportunity for growth and revenue in the TV entertainment business in China with lower risk compared to our original approach.

Continued expansion into TV entertainment in China

The growing market for TV advertising in China is very attractive. Research studies indicate TV ad sales represent 75% of the overall ad spending in China's estimated $37 billion advertising market. Reports state television advertising sales in the first 6 months of 2006 totaled $14 billion representing a 22% increase over the same period last year making TV the greatest gainer in ad sales of all China media with newspapers, magazines, radio and outdoor growing 5%, 9%, 15% and 9% respectively. [Source: as reported by Xinhua News Agency]

To address this market opportunity AAGH subsidiary Sino Trade created the wholly-owned subsidiary Idea Asia (a Hong Kong corporation) to hold entertainment related businesses. Idea Asia created CMP (a Hong Kong corporation) of which Idea Asia owns 60%. In 2007 CMP launched Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? in mainland China. The show's production value is very high quality and we experienced very good rating in GuiZhou province where the show aired originally. However, the financial performance in 2007 was unsatisfactory due to the non-performance of CMP sales and distribution efforts. Given the lackluster sales and distribution performance we decided to discontinue the program. Resultantly, Idea Asia issued a demand note to CMP for the repayment of loans in the amount of $875,338. Management has decided it will no longer invest in CMP and plans to discontinue all operations of the subsidiary. Further, management shifted all operations related to TV entertainment to Idea Asia which will be lead by industry veteran Dominique Ullmann, appointed to the position of Executive Director of Idea Asia in February 2008, who will leverage his strong experience in the industry and well established business network in the region. Mr Ullmann will be in charge of the overall strategy and execution of all future TV entertainment business.

--------------------------------------------------

Since the management shift in our TV entertainment segment Idea Asia has, as of this writing, acquired the rights to present six TV programs in China including Singing Bee, Blackjack Bowling, Silent Library, You Are What You Eat, Small Talk, and 50/50.

Singing Bee/Zeal Entertainment
In February 2008 Idea Asia signed a contract with Zeal Entertainment for the exclusive right of presenting the TV show "Singing Bee" in China. Zeal Entertainment ( http://www.zealentertainment.co.uk ) is an independent formats and events distributor and is a subsidiary of the Digital Rights Group, UK 's largest independent TV distributor. Zeal licenses formats, programs and event rights internationally and handles a range of successful properties, including "Singing Bee", "Miss World", "This Is Your Life", "Under Construction", and "The European Poker Tour." "Singing Bee" is a musical game show where contestants have to "sing in" the blanks to song lyrics when the music stops, it has been licensed to more than 30 territories worldwide, including the US, Australia, Europe and South America.

Blackjack Bowling/Sony Pictures Television International In March 2008 Idea Asia entered into an option agreement with Sony Pictures Television International (SPTI) giving Idea Asia the first opportunity to license the TV game show format "Blackjack Bowling" from SPTI to adapt and produce a local version of the format in China. "Blackjack Bowling" is the only show of its kind that combines two of the world's favorite pastimes - blackjack and bowling - just as the two simple elements of the roulette wheel and hangman were combined to create Wheel of Fortune. "Blackjack Bowling's" format is flexible and can be played in either a 30-minute or 60-minute format.

Silent Library/2waytraffic
In February 2008 signed a contract with 2waytraffic for the exclusive right of presenting the TV show "Silent Library" in China. 2waytraffic is listed on the AIM of the London Stock Exchange and is a leading international developer and exploiter of interactive entertainment content for television, mobile and digital platforms with an unrivaled catalog of over 200 high quality entertainment formats including "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?", "Brainiest", "Mr & Mrs", "Take It Or Leave It", "You Are What You Eat", and "That's The Question". "Silent Library" was created by Japanese comedian Hitoshi Matsumoto in 2001 as part of NTV's, hugely popular variety show, "Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende". "Silent Library" takes place in a library setting where a team of players perform pranks and punishments on each other whilst having to remain as silent as possible. No matter how unpleasant the challenge is, the contestant isn't allowed to yelp or shout or make any noise no matter how funny it is, his friends mustn't laugh.

You Are What You Eat/2waytraffic
In February 2008 Idea Asia signed a contract with 2waytraffic for the exclusive right of presenting the TV show "You Are What You Eat" in China. "You Are What You Eat" is the factual entertainment format which takes an uncompromising look at the people whose eating habits are threatening to send them to an early grave, and then shows them the way to change. Each week a renowned nutritionist takes an up-close - and sometimes very personal - look at the contributor and the effect their appalling diet is having on their body, before transforming the way they eat and feel in just eight weeks. The contributor is put through a series of sometimes shocking tests including tongue profiling, colonic irrigation and blood, urine and stool analysis which, coupled with the nutritionist's no-nonsense, 'tough love' approach make for graphic, but fascinatingly entertaining, viewing!

Small Talk/FremantleMedia
In February of 2008 Idea Asia signed a contract with FremantleMedia to exclusively represent the TV show "Small Talk in China". FremantleMedia is one of the largest international creators and producers of entertainment brands in the world with leading prime time drama, serial drama, entertainment and factual entertainment programming in over 40 countries worldwide. FremantleMedia is at the forefront of developing cross- platform media experiences through its FMX operation, which is successfully developing new entertainment brands and concepts specifically for mobile, broadband, games consoles and Internet Protocol Television (IPTV).

50-50/2waytraffic
In February 2008 Idea Asia signed a contract with 2waytraffic for the exclusive right of presenting the TV show "50-50" in China . "50-50" is the ultimate quiz show which extends the 50-50 Lifeline from "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" into a new format. Everything is about making a straight choice between two possibilities and contestants win the chance to fill in a blank check with the amount they think they deserve to win. 50-50 can run weekly or daily, and is versatile enough to play in any timeslot. Answering questions individually but ultimately working as a team, contestants must select an answer from two possible options before the question is passed over to their partner who must decide whether they agree or disagree. If they agree, the original answer is locked in, but if they disagree, they overrule their partner's answer and the other option is locked in instead. After two nail-biting rounds throughout which the stakes rise and the game-play gets trickier, the couple reaches the climax of the game.

Going Forward

In 2008 the Company plans to continue expanding upon our proven-successful agency partnership programs with established advertising agencies in China to grow the Media and Advertising segment of our business. Also we plan to develop a new stream of revenue from our TV entertainment business by building on what we've learned so far from the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? TV show experience. We also plan to continue to seek new opportunities in China TV entertainment. We expect these objectives will dominate our operations in 2008.

Media & Advertising going forward. In this segment we have had very solid performance as reflected in its financial performance. Our strategy of expanding through sales agents has been consistently working very well. Given this we plan to add more agents and continue this growth process. Additionally we plan to add more product offerings for the agent network to sell. We expect reasonable growth in this segment.

We will soon open an office in Shanghai where we will expand our sales effort for our media and advertising business. From this same office we also expand our TV entertainment sales and distribution efforts. We see the new Shanghai operation as a start to what will become a very synergistic sales and distribution hub for all of the AAGH businesses.

Currently we are reviewing plans to launch an online China-based consumer coupon service. Given our past experience in the online coupon business (in the US) we have the ability in-house to build the infrastructure and market the service. Management sees this as a synergistic business element within the AAGH family of media, advertising and entertainment businesses allowing for more channels of opportunity for our advertising clients.

TV Entertainment going forward. We learned a lot from our 2007 experience with Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? in China. Our plans going forward are to proceed in a revenue conscious manner to further development this business segment. With an industry veteran now directing the TV business segment, management believes the Company is on a good course to capitalize on the emerging TV entertainment business in China. The Company plans to continue to identify and acquire successful TV programs/formats from content providers. Through our initial effort with Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? we built a reputation of being a legitimate provider of high quality TV shows, not a "copy cat". Therefore, we are now proven and properly positioned to look for well established big name title sponsors who may also help subsidize production costs.


Page 6 of 25

--------------------------------------------------

We intend to generate revenue when our programs are broadcast on satellite TV and regional TV stations. Our target for 2008 is to have our programs distributed by 100 of the more than 1000 TV stations in China with average revenue of $150-500 per episode per regional TV station. Revenue per episode is dependant on the nature and geographic location of the individual TV station.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we experienced a net profit of $390,932. We expect to improve our income position over the next 12 months as we plan to continue growing our profitable advertising sales business in China and we expect increased revenue from our TV entertainment business.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we generated nearly all of our revenues from our Media & Advertising division. Over the next twelve months, we plan to devote the majority of our resources to expanding and further developing our Media and Advertising segment and our Idea Asia subsidiary.

The following table sets forth our net revenues by each operational division for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007:

Compared to the 2007 figure of $828,431, we experienced an increase of revenue of 84% from the comparable three months ended March 31, 2007, which is attributable to expanding our sales force through creating partnerships with established advertising agencies in China.

Revenue - TV Entertainment

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, there was no revenue for the TV Entertainment segment because we discontinued production of the mainland China version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?.

The 68.9% decrease in depreciation during the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared with the depreciation of $11,421 for the same period in 2007 is attributed to additional depreciation of TV production studio. On amortization of intangible assets, the figure for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $26,474, which was the same compared to the same period of 2007.


Other Income (Expense)

We experienced a net profit for the three months ended March 31, 2008 of $390,932 compared to net loss of $2,947,163 for the same period in 2007.

A net loss of $102,392 was experienced from our TV Entertainment segment for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to net loss of $416,799 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Loss is primarily attributable to $50,519 operating costs related to operations of the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? TV program which were still winding down during the quarter and $47,630 in operations related to new TV entertainment operations of Idea Asia. The overall decrease in losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same quarter of the previous year are attributable to significantly decreased operations for the segment due to the halting of the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? project.

Net Loss - Asia Global Corporate

During the three months ended March 31, 2008 we experienced a net loss of $38,213 from our Asia Global Corporate operations, compared to a net loss of $2,920,175 for the same period in 2007. The decrease in losses was primarily attributable to the reduction of non-cash stock-based compensation for professional services rendered.

Trends, Events, and Uncertainties

Demand for our services and products will be dependent on, among other things, market acceptance of our concept and general economic conditions, which are cyclical in nature. Our business operations may be adversely affected by our competitors and prolonged recessionary periods. We are in the process of seeking additional financing to accelerate our business plan. There is no assurance additional financing will be available, or if available, that it will be available on reasonable terms. Even if we do obtain such financing, there is no assurance that we will be able to generate profitable operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007

Cash flows from operating activities

We experienced negative cash flows provided by operations in the amount of $1,045,382 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to increased in accounts receivable from operations of $564,261 and increased in amount due to related parties from operations of $518,257.

For the three months ended March 31, 2007 we experienced positive cash flows provided by operations in the amount of $1,365,248, primarily due to net loss from operations of $2,697,084 offset by non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization of $37,651, common stock issued for services of $2,757,325, stock-based compensation to an executive of $102,082 and changes in operating assets such as a decrease in accounts receivable of $1,405,026 and decreases in our accounts payable and accrued expenses of $252,909.

Asia Global Holdings Corporation Signs Agreement with 3 Circles Media; Company to Introduce Interactive Participation TV to China

LOS ANGELES, June 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Asia Global Holdings Corporation (News) (BULLETIN BOARD: AAGH) announces that Idea Asia Limited (Idea Asia), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AAGH, has signed an exclusive agreement with 3 Circles Media (3CM), a European leading interactive casual game company, to introduce interactive participation TV to various broadcasters in China.

3CM has over 12 years experience in interactive&participation TV and has produced over 50,000 hours of such live programs. The company currently owns a program portfolio of 25 interactive and participation TV formats with production facilities in Europe, US, Middle East and Asia.

Participation TV introduces television content that engages viewers to act and respond. Traditionally, television delivers high quality programming designed to entertain, inform and educate; Viewers involvement was relatively limited. Today with the advancement of digital television, mobile telecommunication and the internet, viewers are offered more ways to get involved in the programs they are watching. From participating in TV voting to interacting with show presenters and solving a TV puzzle in real time, audiences now have the ability to be a big part of the game show, all from the comfort of their own living room.

"One of the best ways to attract audiences to a program is to have them participate in it. Moreover, this participation can quickly create a significant additional revenue stream," said Dominique Ullmann, Executive Director of Idea Asia. "The success of 'American Idol' and other participation TV shows, such as 'Deal or no Deal', have clearly defined a lucrative revenue model. We see a tremendous opportunity to generate immediate revenue through Interactive participation TV in China and we are very delighted to establish co-operation with such a strong industry player in 3 Circles Media."

Asia Global Holdings Corporation Announces New TV Entertainment Contract with Zeal Entertainment
Monday July 21, 9:00 am ET

LOS ANGELES, July 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Asia Global Holdings Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: AAGH - News) announces that Idea Asia Limited (Idea Asia), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AAGH, has signed a contract with Zeal Entertainment for the exclusive right of presenting the TV show 'Human Clock' in China. This is the second contract Idea Asia has signed with Zeal Entertainment.
ADVERTISEMENT

Zeal Entertainment (http://www.zealentertainment.co.uk) is an independent formats and events distributor and is a subsidiary of the Digital Rights Group, UK's largest independent TV distributor. Zeal licenses formats, programs and event rights internationally and handles a range of successful properties, including "Singing Bee", "Miss World", "This Is Your Life", "Under Construction", and "The European Poker Tour."

The Human Clock is a brand new prime time variety game show with a unique twist; the contestants' bodies work as human clocks. It is the players' bodies that determine how long their partners have to compete in diverse mental challenges. Couples work as a team through a series of exciting rounds where they have to perform simultaneous physical and mental challenges; such as how long can one teammate keep her eyes open without blinking while her partner answers general knowledge questions. Other physical challenges include how long a team member can stay on a bucking bronco, eat as much sickly food as possible, or stay submerged in a tank of icy water.

"This agreement is another fine example of how Idea Asia is being sought by the international format owners to distribute TV programs in China. We like this format a lot. It is a unique marriage of the mental and the physical in one exciting package. 'Human Clock' further enhances the variety of our portfolio of TV formats to suit different broadcasters and marketers in China," commented Dominique Ullmann, Executive Director of Idea Asia.
