NOTE 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the nine months period ended September 30, 2005, the Company’s CFO at the time, Mr. Yu-En Chiu, effected numerous withdrawals and repayment of Company funds that the Company has determined to treat for accounting purposes as short term interest free loans. The total amount of the withdrawals totaled NT$71,900,000 ($2,267,424). As of September 30, 2005, Mr. Chiu had repaid all such withdrawals to the Company. Additional withdrawals were made by Mr. Chiu during the fourth quarter of 2005 totaling NT$23,100,000 ($728,477). Mr. Chiu’s withdrawals and the Company’s action with respect thereto are more fully described in the Company’s Form 8-K dated June 16, 2006. There were no advances to Mr. Chiu after December 31, 2005.

NOTE 4. GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As the Company is aggressively expanding its business in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Company’s PRC operation is still in an emerging stage and has not turned profitable, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has a working capital deficiency, and an equity deficit. The above conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The 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 this uncertainty.


Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 

Total Net Operating Revenue. Total net operating revenues increased by $319,725, or 9.8%, to $3,572,168 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from $3,252,443 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase for the 2005 period reflects an increase in sales of goods of $378,563 and a decrease of franchising income of $15,365 and other operating revenues of $43,473, all from the amounts of the comparable prior period in 2004.
 
Sales of goods. The increase in sales of goods of $378,563, or 15.5%, from $2,444,267 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to $2,822,830 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, was mainly due to an increase in net sales of goods generated from our Shanghai operations.
 
Franchising income.

Other operating revenues decreased by $43,473, or 23.4%, from $185,932 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to $142,459 for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

In addition, the gross margin decreased from 60% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to 59% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily because the consolidation of Culture Media had a lower gross margin than KCIT and KCESD.

The repayment of loans from officers/shareholders was $581,228 during the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
 
Management does not expect that revenue provided by operating activities in the next three to six months will be sufficient to cover our cash needs. Management expects that it will need to raise funds through equity financing in the next quarter to fund operations. Management believes that if the equity financing is not available, other actions can and will be taken to reduce costs. These actions may entail the Group to reduce headcount, sales and marketing, and other expansion activities, which may affect the future growth of the Group’s operations.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. As we are aggressively expanding our business in the PRC and our PRC operation is still in an emerging stage and has not turned profitable, we have suffered recurring losses from operations. The above conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, if the investment in the PRC does not gradually see returns. The 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 this uncertainty.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk, including from changes in certain foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. All of these market risks arise in the normal course of business, as we do not engage in speculative trading activities. We have not entered into derivative or hedging transactions to manage risk in connection with such fluctuations.
 
The following analysis provides quantitative information regarding our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk.

Interest rate exposure
      
Our interest income and expense is affected by the fluctuating interest rates in Taiwan mostly related our bank borrowings in Taiwan. In this regard, changes in Taiwan interest rates affect the interest expenses on our bank borrowings.

Foreign currency exposure

     We have operations in both Taiwan and the PRC. The functional currency of Higoal Development Ltd. and its subsidiary, Kid Castle Internet Technologies Ltd. is New Taiwan Dollars (“NT Dollars”) and the financial records are maintained and the financial statements are prepared for these entities in NT Dollars. The functional currency of Kid Castle Educational Software Development Company Ltd. and its consolidated subsidiary, Jiangsi 21st Century Kid Castle Culture Media Co. Ltd. is RMB and the financial records are maintained and the financial statements are prepared for these entities in RMB. In the normal course of business, these operations are not exposed to fluctuations in currency values. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business, nor do we use such instruments for speculative purposes. The translation from the applicable local currency of assets and liabilities to U.S. Dollars is performed as follows:
 
(a)
Current assets, current liabilities and long term monetary assets and liabilities, at the rate of exchange in effect as at the balance sheet date;
(b)
Non-monetary long term assets and liabilities, at the exchange rates prevailing at the time of the acquisition of the assets or assumption of liabilities; and,
(c)
Revenues and expenses, at the average rate of exchange for the year.
