INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Trimol Group, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Trimol Group, Inc. (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is to express an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s only customer has notified the Company that it does not intend to renew its contract which expired April 29, 2006. In addition, as shown on the accompanying balance sheet, the Company’s liabilities exceeded its assets by $1,648,000. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

TRIMOL GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Trimol Group, Inc. (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2007 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 included herein have been prepared on the same basis as those of the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of those which are normal and recurring) necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year.

Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.

NOTE 2 - OPERATIONS

The Company owns all of the outstanding shares of Intercomsoft Limited (“Intercomsoft”) a company engaged in the operation of a computerized photo identification and database management system utilized in the production of a variety of secure essential government identification documents such as passports, driver’s licenses, national identification documents and other such forms of essential personal identification.

Intercomsoft’s only customer is the Government of the Republic of Moldova, pursuant to a renewable Contract on Leasing Equipment and Licensing Technology (the “Supply Agreement”) awarded to it in April 1996 by the Ministry of Economics, Republic of Moldova, to provide a National Register of Population and a National Passport System. Under the terms of the Supply Agreement, Intercomsoft supplied all of the equipment, technology, software, materials and consumables utilized by the Government for the production of all national passports, drivers’ licenses, vehicle permits, identification cards and other government authorized identification documents in the Republic of Moldova.

On or about February 11, 2006, the Company received a notice from the Government of the Republic of Moldova wherein it advised the Company that it did not intend to renew the Supply

8



Agreement which, unless renewed, expired by its terms on April 29, 2006. The Company does not believe that such non-renewal notice was sent timely under the applicable provisions of the Supply Agreement and has contested such non-renewal notice.

On June 27, 2006, the Company and Intercomsoft commenced an action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Ministry of Economics of the Republic of Moldova and the Government of the Republic of Moldova seeking damages of approximately $41,000,000 for breach of contract and an injunction prohibiting Moldova from producing further essential government documents in accordance with the terms of the Supply Agreement. As a consequence of discussions with counsel to the defendants in this action, the action was withdrawn in August 2006, without prejudice.

On September 20, 2006, Intercomsoft filed a Demand for Arbitration with the International Chamber of Commerce, International Court of Arbitration, in Geneva, Switzerland. The Demand repeats and incorporates the claims that were set forth in the Complaint in the withdrawn prior action noted above.

The action has not progressed beyond the pleading stage. The Republic of Moldova and other respondents have interposed a counterclaim against Intercomsoft in amounts totaling $30,000,000. The counterclaims contain allegations of fraud and misrepresentation claimed to have occurred during the performance of the Supply Agreement. The Company and Intercomsoft deny any wrongdoing, are vigorously contesting the counterclaims and have replied with opposition to them in the arbitration.

There can be no assurance as to the outcome of such arbitration proceeding.

Inasmuch as the Company’s only revenues are derived from Intercomsoft’s activities under the Supply Agreement, if the Supply Agreement is not renewed or extended, the Company will have no source of revenues as a consequence of the expiration of such Agreement. Such event will have a material adverse effect on Intercomsoft and the Company.

Subsequent to the expiration and non-renewal of the Supply Agreement, which the Company is contesting, the Company has not generated any revenue.

NOTE 3 - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The following risk factors relating to the Company and its business should be carefully considered:

The Company’s subsidiary operates in the Republic of Moldova.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Intercomsoft Limited, operates in the Republic of Moldova. The Republic of Moldova is a former member of the Soviet Union and has historically had an uncertain economic and political climate. This may have a material adverse impact on the Company and Intercomsoft.

9



The Company has no current source of revenue.

The Company’s sole revenue source for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was from Intercomsoft whose only customer is the Republic of Moldova’s Ministry of Economics to which it supplied its goods and services pursuant to the Supply Agreement between the Government of Moldova and Intercomsoft.

On or about February 11, 2006, the Company received a notice from the Government of the Republic of Moldova advising the Company that it did not intend to renew the Supply Agreement which, unless renewed, expired by its terms on April 29, 2006. The Company believes that such non-renewal notice may not have been sent timely under the applicable provisions of the Supply Agreement. However, inasmuch as the Company’s only revenues are derived from Intercomsoft’s activities under the Supply Agreement, as of April 29, 2006, the Company has no current source of revenue as a consequence of the non-renewal of such Agreement. Although the Company has contested Moldova’s notice of non-renewal of the Supply Agreement, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of such dispute. If the Government of the Republic of Moldova does not recognize the renewal of the Supply Agreement, such event will have a material adverse effect on Intercomsoft and the Company.

The Company has commenced a legal action against the Government of Moldova.

On June 27, 2006, the Company and Intercomsoft commenced an action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Ministry of Economics of the Republic of Moldova and the Government of the Republic of Moldova seeking damages of approximately $41,000,000 for breach of contract and an injunction prohibiting Moldova from producing further essential government documents in accordance with the terms of the Supply Agreement. Additionally, the Company has contested Moldova’s notice of non-renewal of the Supply Agreement. The action was withdrawn in August 2006, without prejudice. On September 20, 2006, Intercomsoft filed a Demand for Arbitration with the International Chamber of Commerce, International Court of Arbitration, in Geneva, Switzerland. The Demand repeats and incorporates the claims that were set forth in the Complaint in the withdrawn prior action noted above.

The action has not yet progressed beyond the pleading stage. The Republic of Moldova and the other respondents have interposed counterclaims against the Company and Intercomsoft in amounts totaling $30,000,000. The counterclaims contain allegations of fraud and misrepresentation claimed to have occurred during the performance of the Supply Agreement. The Company and Intercomsoft deny any wrongdoing, are vigorously contesting the counterclaims and have replied with opposition to such counterclaims in the arbitration.

Among the Company’s claims against Moldova is a claim for non-payment for all of the essential government documents produced under the Supply Agreement during the four month period commencing January 2006 and ending in April 2006. Based, in part, upon records issued by Moldova, the Company believes the uncollected amount due for this period for services rendered, together with contractually agreed upon interest for late payments, is in excess of $2,500,000, which amount is not included in the accompanying financial statement. Such amount is the subject of a legal action as more detailed in Note 2. The Company is still pursuing such amount and believes it to be a legally valid receivable.

There can be no assurance as to the outcome of such arbitration proceeding.

10



The Company has terminated its agreement with Supercom Limited.

Pursuant to a Sales Agreement between Intercomsoft and Supercom Limited (“Supercom”) dated August 25, 1995, as amended, Supercom supplied the equipment, software, technology and consumables utilized by Intercomsoft for the production of computerized documents under the Supply Agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, Intercomsoft is provided with the guidance and support required for the installation and operation of the equipment, as well as the materials required for its maintenance.

On March 24, 2005, Intercomsoft and Supercom entered into a Termination Agreement, terminating the Sales Agreement. Notwithstanding, pursuant to the terms of the Termination Agreement, Supercom, in consideration of certain payments to be made to it, agreed to continue to supply Moldova with such equipment, consumables, software and technology during the remaining term of the Supply Agreement, pursuant to the requirements of the Supply Agreement. Supercom agreed not to take any action, directly or indirectly, to interfere with Intercomsoft’s contractual rights with Moldova or to, in any way, cause Moldova to terminate or not renew the Supply Agreement and agreed to pay to Intercomsoft certain amounts specified in the Termination Agreement as liquidated damages in the event of any breach or default by Supercom thereunder. Except and as to the extent provided under the Termination Agreement, Intercomsoft has no other rights to Supercom’s proprietary technology as referred to above.

The Company is not pursuing development of its aluminum-air fuel cell technology.

Through a joint venture with Aluminum-Power, Inc., the Company’s majority shareholder, the Company pursued research and development of its aluminum-air fuel cell technology it acquired in the first quarter of 2001. Such research and development was suspended in the second quarter of 2003. The Company does not intend to pursue the development of such technology in the future.

The Company has no current business activities that generate revenue.

Although the Company is currently exploring opportunities, it is not currently engaged in any business activities that generate revenue.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report.

PLAN OF OPERATION

General

          Intercomsoft, Ltd. (“Intercomsoft”) is a wholly owned subsidiary acquired by us in the second quarter of 1998. A technology-intensive company, Intercomsoft was established to operate a computerized photo identification and database management system utilized in the production of secure essential government identification documents such as passports, driver’s licenses, national identification documents and other such forms of essential personal identification.

          Although it is interested in developing other opportunities, Intercomsoft’s only customer since 1996 has been the Government of the Republic of Moldova, pursuant to a ten (10) year renewable Contract on Leasing Equipment and Licensing Technology (the “Supply Agreement”).

          On or about February 11, 2006, we received notice from the Government of the Republic of Moldova that it did not intend to renew the Supply Agreement which, unless renewed, expired by its terms on April 29, 2006. We believe that such notice of non-renewal may not have been sent timely under the applicable provisions of the Supply Agreement and are currently contesting the claimed non-renewal of such Agreement.

          On June 27, 2006, together with Intercomsoft, we commenced an action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Ministry of Economics of the Republic of Moldova and the Government of the Republic of Moldova seeking damages of approximately $41,000,000 for breach of contract, among other claims. Such amount includes approximately $2,500,000, plus interest, that we believe is due to us for the four-month period commencing January 2006 and ending in April 2006. The action was withdrawn in August 2006, without prejudice, and on September 20, 2006 a similar action was filed before an arbitration tribunal in Switzerland.

          The action has not yet progressed beyond the pleading stage. The Republic of Moldova and the other respondents have interposed counterclaims against us and Intercomsoft in amounts totaling $30,000,000. The counterclaims contain allegations of fraud and misrepresentation which the respondents claim occurred during the performance of the Supply Agreement. Together with Intercomsoft, we have denied any wrongdoing, are vigorously contesting the counterclaims and have replied with opposition to such counterclaims in the arbitration.

13



          In April 2007, the Republic of Moldova and other respondents commenced an arbitral proceeding in the Republic of Moldova that alleges similar claims as in the counterclaims noted above. Together with Intercomsoft, we plan to contest the viability of this proceeding.

          There can be no assurance as to the outcome of any such proceedings.

          However, inasmuch as our only current source of revenue was derived from Intercomsoft’s activities under the Supply Agreement, if the Supply Agreement is not renewed or extended, we will have no source of revenues as a consequence of the expiration and non-renewal of such Agreement. We have had no revenues since the expiration of the Supply Agreement, which has had a material adverse effect on Intercomsoft as well as on us.

          Currently, other than activities in connection with the Supply Agreement, Trimol is not engaged in any other business operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

          During the three month period ended March 31, 2007, our operations consisted solely of administrative activities and those related to pursuing the breach of contract claims against the Republic of Moldova as more fully noted above. The operations of Intercomsoft were inactive during this period.

Comparison of Three Month Period: March 31, 2007 to March 31, 2006

          During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we generated no revenues as compared to $1,700,000 in the same period in 2006, all of which resulted from Intercomsoft’s production of government documents in the Republic of Moldova. The lack of revenue in the comparative period in 2007 was the result of the contested non-renewal of the Supply Agreement on April 29, 2006, as previously noted.

          During the three months ended March 31, 2007, there were no costs associated with generating revenues, as compared to $498,000, or 29% of revenues, for the same period in 2006.

          General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007, were approximately $240,000, which consisted of $8,000 of Intercomsoft expenses consisting of machinery and equipment depreciation, and $232,000 of which were general corporate and administrative expenses. For the same period in 2006, general and administrative expenses aggregated approximately $478,000, which consisted of $29,000 of Intercomsoft expenses and $449,000 of general corporate and administrative expenses. General corporate and administrative expenses decreased significantly in the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 due to corporate overhead cutbacks resulting from the contested non-renewal of

the Supply Agreement on April 29, 2006, as previously noted.

          There were no public relations, marketing and advertising expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $569,000 in the same period in 2006. All of such expenses in the comparative period related to efforts to expand the use of Intercomsoft’s services. All marketing efforts were suspended in 2006 due to the unavailability of funds resulting from the expiration and contested non-renewal of the Supply Agreement, as noted above.

          We had a net loss from operations of approximately $240,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2007, as compared to a net income of approximately $155,000 for the same period in 2006, which resulted from all of the reasons set forth above.

Liquidity & Capital Resources

          Intercomsoft’s Supply Agreement, if not renewed pursuant to the terms thereof, expired by its terms in April 2006. As a consequence of what we believe was an untimely notice of non-renewal of the Supply Agreement, Moldova discontinued payment to us for amounts due under the Supply Agreement and our sole source of revenue ended. Although we are vigorously contesting the non-renewal of the Supply Agreement, there can be no assurances as to the outcome such dispute. If the Supply Agreement is not renewed, we will need to pursue future business opportunities in order to sustain continued operations.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

          Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have participated in and supervised the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

 

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

          On June 22, 2006, together with Intercomosoft, our wholly owned subsidiary, we commenced an action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Ministry of Economics of the Republic of Moldova and the Republic of Moldova seeking damages and injunctive relief for various specified breaches of the Contract on Leasing Equipment and Licensing Technology dated April 29, 1996, as amended, between the Ministry of Economics of the Republic of Moldova

16



and Intercomsoft (the “Supply Agreement”). The action seeks damages against the defendants in the aggregate amount of approximately $41,000,000 as a consequence of such breaches, as well as injunctive relief against the defendants for continuing to utilize the equipment and technology licensed to defendants under the Supply Agreement or for otherwise engaging in activities competitive with us for the period specified in the applicable provisions of the Supply Agreement. As a consequence of discussions with counsel to the defendants in such action, on August 18, 2006, we withdrew such action, without prejudice.

          On September 20, 2006, Intercomsoft filed a Demand for Arbitration with the International Chamber of Commerce, International Court of Arbitration, in Geneva, Switzerland. The Demand repeats and incorporates the claims that were set forth in the Complaint in the withdrawn prior action noted above.

          The action has not yet progressed beyond the pleading stage. The Republic of Moldova and the other respondents have interposed counterclaims against us and Intercomsoft in amount totaling $30,000,000. The counterclaims contain allegations of fraud and misrepresentation which the respondents claim occurred during the performance of the Supply Agreement. Together with Intercomsoft, we have denied any wrongdoing, are vigorously contesting the counterclaims and have replied with opposition to such counterclaims in the arbitration.

          In addition, in April 2007, the Republic of Moldova and other respondents commenced an arbitral proceeding in the Republic of Moldova that alleges similar claims as in the counterclaims noted above. Together with Intercomsoft, we plan to contest the viability of this proceeding.

          There can be no assurance as to the outcome of the above noted proceedings.
