REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Lite Array Holdings Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lite Array Holdings Limited (A Development Stage Enterprise) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from December 20, 2004 (date of inception) to December 31, 2005, for the year ended December 31, 2006 and for the period from December 20, 2004 (date of inception) to December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Lite Array Holdings Limited and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2006 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the period from December 20, 2004 (date of inception) to December 31, 2005, for the year ended December 31, 2006 and for the period from December 20, 2004 (date of inception) to December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.

The Company and Basis of Presentation

The Company

Lite Array Holdings Limited (the “Company”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on December 20, 2004. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) are engaged in research and development of organic light emitting diode (“OLED”) production equipment, principally in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The Company is a jointly controlled entity of Anwell Technologies Limited (“ATL”) and Global-Tech Appliances Inc. (“Global-Tech”).

Basis of Presentation

Since its inception, the Group has not derived any significant revenues from its planned principal operations and its activities have consisted primarily of developing OLED production equipment. The Group has devoted substantially all its efforts to business planning, research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, acquiring assets and raising capital. Accordingly, the Group is considered to be in the development stage.

All amounts are expressed in Hong Kong Dollars, unless indicated otherwise. Amounts in Hong Kong Dollars have been rounded to the nearest dollar.

Nature of Operations

The Group is engaged in the research and development of OLED production equipment.

Details of subsidiaries of the Company at December 31, 2006 are as follows:

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Since inception, the Group has incurred cumulative net losses of HK$4,836,988 and, as of December 31, 2006, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by HK$3,745,635. Management expects losses may continue for the foreseeable future and anticipates that losses may increase from current levels because of additional costs and expenses related to the continued development of the Group’s products. The Group’s continuance in business as a going concern is dependent upon maintaining the necessary continuing financial support from a shareholder of the Company and/or the Group achieving future profitable operations in order to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its liabilities and obligations as and when they fall due. The shareholder has agreed to provide continuing financial support to the Group, to the extent necessary, for at least one year from the date that the financial statements are approved by the management of the Company.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

(a)

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company has adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46R “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”), an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. FIN 46R requires a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIEs or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns.

 

(b)

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity.

 

(c)

Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(d)

Risks and Uncertainties

The Group is subject to all of the risks inherent in a development stage company developing a new product. These risks include, but are not limited to, limited management resources, intense competition, dependence upon customer acceptance of the product in development and the changing nature of the OLED production equipment industry. The Group’s operating results may be materially affected by the foregoing factors. The Group is also exposed to a certain amount of foreign exchange risk in relation to fluctuations between HK$ and Renminbi arising from its operations in the PRC. In order to limit this foreign currency risk exposure, the Group maintains adequate Renminbi cash balances for daily operations.

 

(e)

Cash Equivalents

The Group considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 2005 and 2006, the Group did not have any cash equivalents.

 

(f)

Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

 

Machinery and equipment

   10 years

Office equipment

   5 years

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and improvements and betterments are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the period realized.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

(g)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Group evaluates its long-lived assets to determine whether later events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives or a reduction in carrying value due to impairment. If indicators of impairment exist and if the value of the assets is impaired, an impairment loss would be recognized. No assets were determined to be impaired as of December 31, 2005 and 2006.

 

(h)

Income Taxes

The Group accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires, among other things, that deferred income taxes be provided for temporary difference between the tax basis of the Group’s assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts. In addition, deferred tax assets are recorded for the future benefit of utilizing net operating losses and research and development credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that they will be realized.

 

(i)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Carrying amounts of certain of Group’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents and accruals and other payables, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

 

(j)

Comprehensive Income/Loss

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, requires companies to classify items of other comprehensive income/loss by their nature in the financial statements and display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income/loss separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a balance sheet.

Accumulated other comprehensive income represents the change in the foreign currency translation adjustments during the period/year.

 

(k)

Operating Leases

Leases of property, plant and equipment where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are taken to the statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Where an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the financial year in which termination takes place.

 

(I)

Employee Benefits

The Group participates in a defined contribution Mandatory Provident Fund retirement benefits scheme (the “MPF Scheme”) for its subsidiary in Hong Kong under Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance, for those employees who are eligible to participate in the MPF Scheme. Contributions are made based on a percentage of the employee’s basic salaries and are charged to the statement of operations as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the MPF Scheme. The Group’s contributions to the MPF Scheme are recognized as employee compensation expense when they are due.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

(I)

Employee Benefits (continued)

Pursuant to the relevant regulations of the PRC government, the subsidiary in the PRC has participated in a local municipal government retirement benefits scheme (the “Scheme”), whereby the subsidiary in the PRC is required to contribute a certain percentage of the basic salaries of its employees to the Scheme to fund their retirement benefits. The local municipal government undertakes to assume the retirement benefits obligation of all existing to the Scheme is to pay the ongoing required contributions under the Scheme. Contributions under the Scheme are charged to the statement of operation as incurred. There are no provisions under the Scheme whereby forfeited contributions may be used to reduce future contributions.

 

(m)

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary in the PRC is the Renminbi (“RMB”). The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary in Hong Kong is the Hong Kong dollar (“HK$”). Transactions demoninated in other currencies are recorded in RMB/HK$ at the rate of exchange prevailing when the transactions occur. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies are translated into RMB/HK$ at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet dates. Exchange gains and losses are recorded in the statement of operations and included in administrative expenses for the periods presented.

The Group has chosen the HK$ as its reporting currency. Accordingly assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate in effect at each year end and average exchange rates are used for the statement of operations. Adjustments resulting from translation of these financial statements are reflected as accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.

 

(n)

Revenue Recognition

Interest income is recognized on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.

 

(o)

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Balances and Transactions with Related Parties

The balances are unsecured, interest-free and repayable on demand. The transactions which gave rise to the balances with related parties were transfer of funds from related parties to the Group for its operations and expenses payments on behalf of the Group by the related parties. The related parties are subsidiaries of the shareholders of the Company.

In addition to the transactions and balances detailed elsewhere in the financial statements for the period and year ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, the Group incurred annual real estate rental expenses and management fees aggregating approximately HK$nil and HK$1,030,620, respectively, payable to related companies in which one of the directors of the Company is also a director of the related companies.

On March 23, 2006, the Company assigned an amount due from a related party of HK$31,097,208 to Consortium Investment (BVI) Limited (“Consortium”) as part of the consideration for the OLED equipment transferred from Consortium (see also note 6 below).

On March 23, 2006, Consortium, a 30% shareholder of the Company, transferred certain OLED equipment to the Group with a carrying value of HK$12,518,521, which represented its original cost of HK$15,649,305 and accumulated depreciation of HK$3,130,784. The value of the OLED equipment was determined to be HK$62,297,208 (US$8,000,000), based on a valuation report prepared by a professional appraiser. The Company issued common stock of HK$31,200,000 and assigned an amount of HK$31,097,208 due from Global-Tech to Consortium for the OLED equipment. The difference of HK$49,778,687 between the professionally determined value of HK$62,297,208 and the carrying value of the OLED equipment of HK$12,518,521 was recorded as a deemed distribution to Consortium.

The amount of depreciation charged for the period and year ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 was HK$nil and HK$1,213,291, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The following are accounting standards recently issued in the United States which may be relevant to the Group:

FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”)

In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 109”, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This interpretation requires that the Company recognizes in the consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 will be effective for the accounting period from January 1, 2007. Management does not expect the adoption of this interpretation to have a material effect on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”)

In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change the current practice. This Statement is effective for the accounting period from January 1, 2008. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB No. 108”)

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”), “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB 108 provides interpretative guidance on the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements and is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 will not have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (“FAS 159”)

In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” FAS No. 159 includes an amendment of FAS No. 115 and is intended, as part of the FASB’s ongoing measurement goals, to encourage the application of fair value measurement, allowing the measurement of many financial instruments at fair value. FAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard but believes that it will not have a material impact on the Group’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
