Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in US Dollars)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Kid Castle Internet Technologies Limited (“KCIT”) was incorporated on December 17, 1999 under the provisions of the Company Law of the Republic of China (“ROC”) as a limited liability company. KCIT is engaged in the business of children’s education focusing on the English language. The business comprises publication, sales and distribution of related books, magazines, audio and videotapes and compact disc, franchising and sales of merchandises complementary to the business. KCIT commenced operations in April 2000 when it acquired the above business from Kid Castle Enterprises Limited which was formerly owned by Mr. Kuo-An Wang and Mr. Yu-En Chiu. Kid Castle Enterprises Limited has ceased operations on December 25, 2003.

On March 9, 2001, KCIT formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Premier Holding Investment Property Limited incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, which held the entire common stock of Higoal Developments Limited (“Higoal”) incorporated in the Cayman Islands on March 8, 2001. On September 10, 2001, Higoal established a wholly owned subsidiary, Kid Castle Educational Software Development Company Limited (“KCES”) in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The existing operations of Higoal are principally located in Taiwan and are being expanded in the PRC. In June 2002, after KCIT undertook a series of group restructurings, KCIT became the direct owner of the outstanding shares of Higoal. Premier Holding Investment Property Limited was then liquidated in June 2003.

On September 18, 2002, Higoal issued 11,880,000 shares of common stock to the stockholders of KCIT in exchange for 100% of the outstanding common stock of KCIT. As a result of this reorganization, KCIT became a wholly owned subsidiary of Higoal. On October 1, 2002, Kid Castle Educational Corporation (the “Company”), formerly King Ball International Technology Limited Corporation, entered into an exchange agreement with Higoal whereby the Company issued to the stockholders of Higoal 11,880,000 shares of common stock of the Company in exchange for 100% of the issued and fully paid up capital of Higoal.

As a result of the share exchange, the former stockholders of Higoal hold a majority of the Company’s outstanding capital stock. Generally accepted accounting principles require in certain circumstances that a company whose stockholders retain the majority voting interest in the combined business to be treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the acquisition has been accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” whereby Higoal is deemed to have purchased the Company. However, the Company remains the legal entity and the registrant for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reporting purposes.

In July 2003, KCES entered into an agreement with 21^st Century Publishing House to incorporate Jiangxi 21^st Century Kid Castle Culture Media Co., Ltd (“Culture Media”). It was agreed that KCES and 21^st Century Publishing House would each own 50% of Culture Media and that each party would contribute Renminbi (“RMB”) 1 million for its ownership interest. On July 2, 2004, KCES acquired additional 40% of ownership in Culture Media from 21^st Century Publishing House. KCES now owns 90% of Culture Media.

On December 27, 2006, KCES established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Shanghai Kid Castle Educational Info Constitution Company Limited (“KCEI”) in the PRC, with registered total capital of RMB1,200,000, in order to operate schools controlled by us in PRC. As of March 31, 2008, KCEI had total registered capital of RMB2,000,000.

-8-

The Company, Higoal and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Group”. The operations of the Group are principally located in Taiwan and the PRC.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial data as of March 31, 2008 and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 have been prepared by the Group, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Group believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Group’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Since inception, the Group had incurred operating losses during most of its reporting periods, although the Group has been profitable since 2007. The accumulated deficit has improved since Messrs. Pai and Yang have assumed their respective management roles, and as of March 31, 2008, the balance of accumulated deficit was $6,449,191. Although we had an accumulated deficit, we have positive cash flow from operations. Barring significant, unforeseen development in PRC, we believe we can decrease our reliance on loans from shareholders and banks to meet our funding requirements in the future. Despite our expectation to decrease reliance on loans, we may again be required to seek additional financing to meet our funding requirements and no assurances can be given that bank loans or loans from shareholders will be available in the future. If we are unable to secure sufficient financing, our liquidity position would be adversely affected, and we may need to seek a more expensive source of funding to finance our operations.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Sales of books, magazines, audio and video tapes, compact disc and other merchandises are recognized as revenue on the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to customers and title has passed. Provision is made for expected future sales returns and allowances when revenue is recognized.

Franchise fees are the annual licensing fees for franchisees to use the Group’s brand name and consulting services. Franchising income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant franchise agreements.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on the evaluation of collectibility and on aging analysis of notes and accounts receivables.

-9-

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost includes all costs of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition, and is calculated using the weighted average method. Market value is determined by reference to the sales proceeds of items sold in the ordinary course of business after the balance sheet date or to management estimates based on prevailing market conditions.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of depreciable assets over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

	Estimated useful life (in years)
Land		Indefinite
Buildings		50
Furniture and fixtures		3-10
Transportation equipment		2.5-5
Miscellaneous equipment		5-10

Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to the statement of operations as incurred. When assets are disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation thereon are removed from the financial statements and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. The Group does not perform a periodic assessment of assets for impairment in the absence of such information or indicators. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Group measures fair value based on quoted market prices or based on discounted estimates of future cash flows.

INCOME TAXES

The Company and its subsidiaries account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rate. Valuation allowances are established when it is considered more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Franchises and copyrights are stated at cost and amortized on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 10 years, the goodwill is amortized on the straight-line basis over estimated the useful lives of 5 years.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. Comprehensive income (loss) is disclosed in the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.

-10-

NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

The Group computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share gives effect to common stock equivalents. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Group did not have any potential common stock shares.

RECLASSIFICATION

The presentation of certain prior information has been reclassified to conform to current presentation.

NOTE 4 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” SFAS No. 161 gives financial statement users better information about the reporting entity's hedges by providing for qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative data about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of credit-risk-related contingent features in their hedged positions. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those years. The Group does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material effect on the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Group’s present or future Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations.” This standard revises and enhances the guidance set forth in SFAS No. 141 by establishing a definition for the “acquirer,” providing additional guidance on the recognition of acquired contingencies and noncontrolling interests, and broadening the scope of the standard to include all transactions involving a transfer in control, irrespective of the consideration involved in the transfer. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs in a fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Although the standard will not have any impact on our current Consolidated Financial Statements, application of the new guidance could be significant to the Company in the context of future merger and acquisition activity.

In December 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51.” This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

-11-

In February 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The standard provides entities the ability, on an elective basis, to report most financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value, with corresponding gains and losses recognized in current earnings. We did not elect the fair value option under SFAS No. 159 as of January 1, 2008 for any of our financial assets and liabilities that were not already accounted for at fair value. We will consider applying the fair value option to future transactions as provided by the standard.

NOTE 13 - RETIREMENT PLANS

The Group maintains tax-qualified defined contribution and benefit retirement plans for its employees in accordance to the ROC Labor Standard Law. As a result, the Group currently maintains two different retirement plans with contribution and benefit calculation formulas. On July 1, 2005, the Bureau of National Health Insurance issued new labor retirement pension regulations in Taiwan. The Group has a new defined contribution retirement plan (the “New Plan”) covering all regular employees of KCIT. KCIT contributes monthly an amount equal to 6% of the employees’ base salaries and wages to the Bureau of National Health Insurance. The Group still maintains the benefit retirement plan (the “Old Plan”) which commenced in September 2003, and only applies to the regular employees of KCIT who were employed prior to June 2005. KCIT contributes monthly an amount equal to 2% of the employees’ total salaries and wages to an independent retirement trust fund deposited with the Central Trust of China in accordance with the ROC Labor Standards Law in Taiwan. The retirement fund is not included in the Group’s financial statements. Net periodic pension cost is based on annual actuarial valuations which use the projected unit credit cost method of calculation and is charged to the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the average remaining service lives of current employees. Under the old plan, the employees are entitled to receive retirement benefits upon retirement in the manner stipulated by the ROC Labor Standard Law in Taiwan. The benefits under the old plan are based on various factors such as years of service and the final base salary preceding retirement.

The net periodic pension cost is as follows:

OVERVIEW

We are a leading provider in the PRC and Taiwan of English-language instruction and educational services to children for whom Chinese is the primary language. Our focus is on children between two and twelve years old. In 2007 we taught or provided educational materials for approximately 1,300,000 students at over 7,430 locations through our franchise and cooperative school operations.

We commenced operations in 1986 as an English-language school, and since then we have expanded our franchise operations to provide bilingual kindergarten instruction, computer training, and tutorial services. In September 1999, we began offering a variety of multimedia, including educational videos, textbooks, workbooks, and educational software, authored by us as fully functional, stand-alone products or as supplements to our classroom-based and Internet-based instruction.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, equity investments, income taxes, financing operations, pensions, commitments and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition. We recognize sales of teaching materials and educational tools and equipment as revenue when title of the product and risk of ownership are transferred to the customer, which occurs at the time of delivery, or when the goods arrive at the customer designated location, depending on the associated shipping terms. Additionally, we deliver products sold by our distributors directly to the distributors’ customers and as such the delivered goods are recognized as revenue in a similar way as sales to our direct customers. We estimate sales returns and discounts based on historical experience and record them as reductions to revenues.

If market conditions were to decline, we may take actions to increase sales discounts, possibly resulting in an incremental reduction of revenue at the time when revenues are recognized.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

-18-

Allowance for Obsolete Inventories and Lower of Cost or Market. We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about inventory aging, future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

Investment Impairments. We hold equity interests in companies having operations in areas within our strategic focus. We record an investment impairment charge when we believe an investment has experienced a decline in value that is not temporary. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of underlying investments could result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the investments that may not be reflected in an investment’s current carrying value, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future.

Fixed Assets and Depreciation. Our fixed assets are stated at cost. Major improvements and betterments to existing facilities and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs that do not extend the life of the applicable asset are charged to expense as incurred. Buildings are depreciated over a 50-year term. Fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from two-and-a-half years to ten years.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We review our fixed assets and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset over its remaining useful life. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. The estimate of fair value is generally based on quoted market prices or on the best available information, including prices for similar assets and the results of using other valuation techniques.

As of March 31, 2008, the balance of our amortizable intangible assets was $546,962, including franchise-related intangible assets of $222,343 and copyrights of $130,702. The amortizable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 10 years, and the balance of goodwill was $193,917, which is amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of five years. In determining the useful lives and recoverability of the intangibles, assumptions must be made regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the assets, which may not represent the true fair value. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, there may be significant impact on our results of operations in the period of the change incurred.

Income Taxes. We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and tax loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are subject to valuation allowances based upon management’s estimates of realizability. Actual results may differ significantly from management’s estimate.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2007

-19-

Total Net Operating Revenue. Total net operating revenue consists of sales of goods, franchising income and other operating revenue. Total net operating revenues increased by $158,564, or 5%, to $3,399,524 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $3,240,960 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This was mainly due to the decrease in sales of goods of $70,049, increase in franchising income of $2,737, and increase in other operating revenues of $225,876.

Sales of goods. The decrease in sales of goods, from $2,434,158 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $2,364,109, or 3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2008, was mainly due to the decrease in net sales of goods from our Taiwan operations of $319,104, or 20%, to $1,249,561 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $1,568,665 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and in the increase in our Shanghai operations of $249,626, or 29%, to $1,115,119 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $865,493 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Franchising income. The 0.5% increase in franchising income, from $553,492 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $556,229, for the three months ended March 31, 2008, was mainly due to the increase in franchising income from Shanghai operations.

Other operating revenue. Our other operating revenues represent revenues from other activities and services such as training of teachers, arranging for personal English language tutors, organizing field trips and educational fairs, fees for designing the school layout of our franchised schools, and the tuition from schools. Other operating revenue increased by $225,876, or 89%, to $479,186 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $253,310 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was mainly due to operate schools controlled by us in the PRC.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by $49,441, or 2%, to $2,224,022 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $2,174,581 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in Gross Profit was mainly due to the increase in franchising income and in other operating revenue.

Total Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses increased by $234,367, or 18%, to $1,535,184 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $1,300,817 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in total operating expenses was mainly due to increases in expenditures to fund daily operations in our Shanghai operations.

Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses increased by $230,939, or 18%, to $1,513,671 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $1,282,732 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.The increase in operating expenses was mainly due to increases in expenditures to fund daily operations in our Shanghai operations.

Interest Expenses, Net. Net interest expenses increased by $1,432, or 7%, to $23,101 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $21,669 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in net interest expenses was mainly due to the increase of the borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. (See Note 11 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.)

Other Non-operating Income, Net. Net other non-operating income decreased by $443, or 0.3%, to $132,158 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $132,601 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in net other non-operating income was mainly due to the difference in exchange rates between the two periods.

Provision for Taxes. Provision for taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $36,897 and $172,942, respectively. These provisions for income taxes relate to income taxes resulting from our operations in Taiwan.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 2008, our principal sources of liquidity included cash and bank balances of $1,337,647, which increased $99,435 from the balance of $1,238,212 at December 31, 2007. The increase was mainly due to the increase in our net income.

We have assertively expanded our business in the PRC. The Shanghai operations have turned profitable in 2006, and the Group has turned profitable in the first quarter of 2007. We anticipate continued expansion of the demand for learning materials and an increase in the number of franchise schools. Furthermore, we foresee better utilization of capital and funds as we identify and implement alternatives for restructuring and refinancing. In order to increase its profit margin, the Group has operated direct-owned schools beginning since 2007. Due to the rapid expansion in our Shanghai operations, the Group foresees additional need for funds in the near future to facilitate its expansion plans during 2008. As discussed in Note 11 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the majority of the Group’s existing loans are guaranteed by two directors of the Group who have expressed their willingness to continue to support the Group until other sources of funds have been obtained. Moreover, management believes that, with continuous growth in the sales in the PRC, the existing directors’ support, and the new bank facilities, the Group will have sufficient funds for operations. 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 the outcome of this uncertainty.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,129,858 and $177,083 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The $952,775 difference was primarily attributed to (i) an increase in notes and accounts receivable of $531,916 during the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to an increase of notes and accounts receivable of $1,074,483 during the three months ended March 31, 2007, and (ii) an increase of notes and accounts payable in the amount of $450,301 during the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to a decrease of notes and accounts payable in the amount of $148,526 during the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Net cash used in investing activities was $96,558 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and net cash provided by investing activities was $21,117 during the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $117,675 difference was primarily attributable to (i) more cash used in the purchase of property and equipment which constituted a decrease in the amount of $64,757 during the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to a decrease in the amount of $50,716 during the three months ended March 31, 2007, (ii) cash used in pledged notes receivable of $26,536 during the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to cash provided by pledged notes receivable of $71,831 during the three months ended March 31, 2007, for a net positive difference in cash of $98,370.

Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $605,076, as compared to $375,978 during the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $229,098 difference was primarily attributable to $573,968 in cash used in repayment of bank borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $113,635 used for the same purpose during the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2008, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Bank Borrowing

One of our financing sources is from bank borrowings. As of March 31, 2008 and 2007, the balances of bank borrowings, including current and non-current portions, were $2,549,668 and $2,700,885, respectively.

Pension Benefit

As of July 1, 2005, the Group maintains two different retirement plans, according to the ROC Labor Standard Law, a non-contributory and funded defined contribution retirement plan (the “New Plan”) covering all regular employees of KCIT, our subsidiary in Taiwan, and the benefit retirement plan (the “Old Plan”) which commenced in September 2003, and only applies to the regular employees of KCIT who were employed prior to June 2005, as described in Note14 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The benefits expected to be paid in each of the next five fiscal years, and in the aggregate for the five fiscal years thereafter are $0 and $16,735, respectively. We also make defined contributions to a retirement benefits plan for our employees in the PRC in accordance with local regulations. The contributions made by us for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $13,755, and $22,085, respectively.

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

We are exposed to fluctuating interest rates related to variable rate bank borrowings. In analyzing the effect of interest rate fluctuations based on the average balances of our outstanding bank borrowings for fiscal year 2008, we have projected that, if interest rates were to increase by one percent, the result would be an annual increase in our interest expense of $24,749. This analysis does not take into consideration the effect of changes in the level of overall economic activity on interest rate fluctuations.

Foreign currency exposure

We have operations in both Taiwan and the PRC. The functional currency of Higoal and its subsidiary, KCIT is NT Dollars and the financial records are maintained and the financial statements are prepared for these entities in NT Dollars. The functional currency of KCES and its consolidated investee, Culture Media and KCEI 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 generally 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 assets and liabilities to the U.S. Dollar is performed using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date except for shareholders’ equity, which is translated at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expense accounts are translated using average exchange rates during the period. Gains and losses resulting from such translations are recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment, a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) our management has performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule Rule 13a-15(e) means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on deficiencies noted by our auditors, problems discovered relating to misuse of company funds by a company officer, and other issues noted in our management’s evaluation our conclusion is that as of March 31, 2008 our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective. We are taking measures to improve our disclosure controls and procedures, including instituting a new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system and engaging an outside accounting firm to advise the Company with respect to setting up internal auditing and other controls and procedures. The ERP system is expected to complete its trial run period by the third fiscal quarter 2008 and become fully operational thereafter. The operation of the old system is scheduled to be terminated by August 31, 2008.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and financial accounting officer, we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

We recognize that the internal controls and procedures adopted by the Company were inadequate and gave rise to misappropriation of funds as disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 23, 2006. Among other improvements, we began implementing a comprehensive ERP system that will improve the Company’s internal controls. The ERP system has been fully installed and the system has been running in parallel with the old system since 2007. Since the trial-run in January 2007 to the filing date of this current report Form 10-Q, we have encountered various obstacles that prevented the ERP system from independently operating on its own. The obstacles, included the proper training and familiarization of personnel with the ERP system and detecting enhancements that needed to be made in the ERP system and to resolve such enhancements and issues that are identified during the course of training and system trial-runs. As a result, Management now expects the ERP system to be fully operational in the third fiscal quarter of 2008. The Company believes that full implementation of its new ERP System will prevent misappropriation of funds by Company employees because the ERP system will perform the following functions:

-23-

Maintain detailed records and produce comprehensive financial statements on a periodic basis allowing management to review and detect irregular financial activities.

Place different check-points on the progression of ordinary monetary activities of the business.

Delineate individual unit/departmental responsibilities and effectively separate respective departmental transactions so as to avoid intentional misappropriation of funds from taking place.

In addition to implementing a new ERP system, the following additional procedures have been implemented:

All departments requesting funds must obtain written approval from the Chief Executive Officer or the Chairman of the Board before the accounting department may commence processing payments.

All fund transfer applications must be approved by the applicable department supervisor prior to the application may be processed. No one can authorize their own application. This is applicable to all staff including staff at the managerial level.

Fund transfer applications in the PRC must additionally be approved by the headquarters in Taiwan.

All fund transfer applications must be accompanied by supporting documentation, such as a copy of the relevant contract copy of the relevant invoice or stock pre-payment statement.

Stock purchases require the approval of the supervisor or manager of the relevant department, the approval of the accounts department, and a stock receipt and suppliers’ certification. Finally the application must be approved by the Chairman of the Board prior to any release of funds.

All pre-payments must be tracked by the fund applicant and the payments must be cleared within the month of payment or in accordance with the date stipulated in the relevant contract.

The Company recognizes that the internal controls and procedures were inadequate; it is assertively attending to the inadequacy and believes that implementation of all of the foregoing procedures will significantly strengthen the Company’s internal financial controls and procedures.
