1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying financial statements, as of March 31, 2007 and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, have been prepared by CHINA SECURITY & SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY, INC. (the “Company”) without audit. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, filed with the SEC on March 21, 2007. Amounts as of December 31, 2006 are derived from these audited consolidated financial statements.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions 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.
 
In the opinion of the management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2007, results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

SUMMARY OF SELECTED SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
(a)    Accounting for Computer Software To Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed

The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed”. Costs related to establishing the technological feasibility of a software product are expensed as incurred as a part of research and development in general and administrative expenses. Costs that are incurred to produce the finished product after technological feasibility is established are capitalized and amortized over the estimated economic life of 5 years. The Company performs periodic reviews to ensure that unamortized program costs remain recoverable from future revenue.

As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, unamortized computer software costs were $141 and $267, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, $246 and $0 amortization expense was charged to income, respectively.
 
(b)    Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

When inventories are sold, their carrying amount is charged to expense in the year in which the revenue is recognized. Write-downs for declines in net realizable value or for losses of inventories are recognized as an expense in the year the impairment or loss occurs. There were no declines in net realizable value of inventory for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, approximately 89% and 99%, of total inventory purchases were from five suppliers, respectively.

SUMMARY OF SELECTED SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(c)    Accounts Receivable

Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.

No trade receivable due from one individual customer exceeds 10% of total accounts receivable at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

(d)    Revenue Recognition

The Company derives the bulk of its revenue from the supply and installation of security and surveillance equipment and the two deliverables do not meet the separation criteria under EITF issue 00-21. The installation is not considered to be essential to the functionality of the equipment having regard to the following criteria as set out in SAB 104:

(i)    The security and surveillance equipment is a standard product with minor modifications according to customers' specifications;
 
(ii)    Installation does not significantly alter the security and surveillance equipment's capabilities; and
 
(iii)    Other companies which possess the relevant licenses are available to perform the installation services.

In early 2006, the Company began performing much larger security installation contracts than it had been doing previously. As a marketing approach, the Company prepared standard contracts with its new larger customers, whereby 90% of the contract amount was due when installation was complete and payment of the remaining 10% was deferred for one year. Because of the newness of the larger contracts and the inability to immediately determine the amount of warranty work that would be required, the Company initially deferred recognizing the 10% of the contract amount as revenue and amortized this amount to income over the one year period. During the second and third quarters of 2006, the Company carefully monitored the warranty work requested by its customers, and determined that very little warranty work had been required to be performed.

The Company reduced its estimate of future warranty requirements to approximately 1% of contract installation revenue since the fourth quarter of 2006.

Revenue from the outright sale of security and surveillance equipment is recognized when delivery occurs and risk of ownership passes to the customers.
 
(e)    Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs included in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $21 and $0 respectively.

(f)    Advertising Costs

(g)    Retirement Benefits

Retirement benefits in the form of contributions under defined contribution retirement plans to the relevant authorities are charged to the consolidated statements of income as incurred. The retirement benefit expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were $54 and $1 respectively and are included in general and administrative expenses.

(h)    Income taxes

The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” (“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. The Company did not have any material unrecognized tax benefits and there was no effect on its financial condition or results of operations as a result of implementing FIN 48.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and PRC jurisdictions. The Company was not subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years before 2006. The Company does not believe there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, the Company did not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized during the quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible expenses, temporary differences, and preferential tax treatment.

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of the People of Republic China (“PRC”) determined to adopt a new corporate income tax law in its fifth plenary session. The new corporate income tax law unifies the application scope, tax rate, tax deduction and preferential policy for both domestic and foreign-invested enterprises.  The new corporate income tax law will be effective on January 1, 2008.  According to the new corporate income tax law, the applicable income tax rate for our operating subsidiaries may be subject to change.  As the implementation detail has not yet been announced, we cannot be sure of the potential impact of such new corporate income tax law on our financial position and operating results.

(i)    Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

(j)    Earnings Per Share

SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.  Basic EPS excludes dilution.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. 

Earnings per basic share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each respective period.  Earnings per diluted share of common stock adds to basic weighted shares the weighted average number of shares issuable under convertible securities, contingent issuances, stock options and warrants outstanding during each respective period, using the if-converted or treasury-stock methods.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007 has been calculated using the treasury stock method based on the weighted average number of dilutive securities outstanding during 2007. As of March 31, 2007, warrants were outstanding to acquire 835,912 shares of common stock.

According to the guaranty and security agreement, the loan is also collateralized by the office building owned by Cheng Feng and the personal assets of the CEO of Cheng Feng. The Company is required to pay the guarantors an annual guaranty fee equal to 2.5% of the loan principal amount and an annual management and security fee equal to 3% of the loan principal amount. The Company prepaid these fees in November 2005 and amortizes the fees throughout the loan term.

CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
 
On February 20, 2007, the Company completed a Notes Purchase Agreement with Citadel Equity Fund Ltd. (“Citadel”) for a $60,000 aggregate principal amount of guaranteed senior unsecured convertible notes due 2012 (the “February Notes”) financing. This financing replaced the existing bridge financing that was closed on February 8, 2007 in which the Company issued to Citadel $60,000 aggregate principal amount of senior notes. The February Notes bear an annual interest of 1%. All the net proceeds will be used for the Company’s working capital and acquisition plan.

Under the February Notes indenture, the February Notes are convertible, by the holders thereof, at any time on or prior to maturity, into common shares of the Company initially at the conversion price of $18 per share (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, including semi-annual reset of the conversion price and upon occurrence of certain dilutive events, in each case subject to certain conditions). If the February Notes are not converted before maturity, the February Notes will be redeemed by the Company on the maturity date at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the February Notes then outstanding plus an additional amount of 15.0% per annum, calculated on a quarterly compounded basis, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, if the 45-day variable weighted average price (“VWAP”) during the one year period from February 16, 2009 to February 15, 2010 equals or is greater than $30.00 per share of common stock, the Company shall, within 1 trading day, force holders of the February Notes to convert 50% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the February Notes at the then applicable conversion rate on a pro rata basis (the “2010 Mandatory Conversion”). If the 45-day VWAP during the one year period from February 16, 2010 to February 15, 2011 equals or is greater than $35.00 per share of common stock (the “2011 Mandatory Conversion Trigger”) and the 2010 Mandatory Conversion had occurred, the Company shall, within 1 trading day, force holders of the February Notes to convert all of the then-outstanding principal amount of the February Notes at the then applicable conversion price. If the 2011 Mandatory Conversion Trigger occurs and the 2010 Mandatory Conversion had not occurred, the Company shall, within 1 trading day, force holders of the February Notes to convert 50% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the February Notes at the then applicable conversion rate on a pro rata basis.

As of March 31, 2007, the Company has accreted $1,163 of the additional redemption amount related to the February Notes, which amount is included in interest expense.

The indenture, notes purchase agreement and investor rights agreement related to the February Notes contain various covenants that may limit the Company’s discretion in operating its business. In particular, the Company is limited in its ability to merge, consolidate or transfer substantially all of its assets, issue stock of subsidiaries, incur additional debt and create liens on assets to secure debt. In addition, if there is a default, or if the Company does not maintain certain financial covenants or does not maintain borrowing availability in excess of certain pre-determined levels, the February Notes may be accelerated with the balance becoming due and payable immediately and the Company may be unable to incur additional indebtedness, make restricted payments (including paying cash dividends on capital stock) or redeem or repurchase capital stock.  As of March 31, 2007, the Company has complied with all the required note covenants.

ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS
 
On July 6, 2006, the Company entered into a definitive Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors relating to the private placement of units, consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to purchase one-fifth of one share of common stock.
 
Such Securities Purchase Agreement was amended on each of July 30, 2006 and July 31, 2006 (as amended, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). Closing thereunder occurred July 31, 2006. The purchase price of each unit was $3.50 and the exercise price for each whole warrant was set at $4.80. The warrants have a term of five years and include a cashless exercise feature which does not apply when there is an effective registration statement covering the shares underlying the warrants. In addition, the Company had granted a put right to all of the investors which would have allowed the investors to require the Company to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the securities issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement if the Company had failed to obtain the necessary governmental approvals to consummate the acquisition of Cheng Feng on or before December 31, 2006. As such governmental approvals were obtained before December 31, 2006 the put right has terminated.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company sold 4,634,592 units to certain accredited investors at $3.50 per unit for gross proceeds of $16,200.

Net proceeds to the Company from the sale of all of the units pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement was approximately $14,900. 106,285 and 248,000 warrants were exercised at $4.80 per share in February and March 2007, respectively.
 
In conjunction with execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also executed a Registration Rights Agreement under which it is obligated to file registration statements on Form S-4 and Form S-1, or other available form, to register the shares and the shares underlying the warrants for resale, within 45 days and 55 days after the closing date, respectively. The Company was obligated to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days of the closing date, and was liable for payment of penalties to the purchasers in the event the registration statement has not declared effective within the 180-day period.

The Company also issued warrants to purchase 324,421 shares of its common stock with an exercise price of $4.20 to two private placement agents as commission for their services in connection with the private placement. In March 2007, 227,095 of such warrants were exercised using the cashless exercise feature.

A summary of the status of the Company's warrants issued in 2006 as described above, and the changes during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, is presented below:

Our Business
 
We manufacture, distribute, install and service security and surveillance products and systems and develop security and surveillance related software in China. Our customers mainly comprise (i) governmental entities (including customs agencies, courts, public security bureaus and prisons), (ii) non-profit orgnizations (including schools, museums, sports arenas and libraries) and (iii) commercial entities (including airports, hotels, real estate, banks, mines, railways, supermarkets and entertainment venues). These account for approximately 40%, 10% and 50% of revenues, respectively.
 
A majority of our revenue is derived from the provision of a packaged solution which includes the products, installation and after sale service maintenance to our customers. Because a majority of our revenues is derived from the installation of security and surveillance systems for our customers which are generally non-recurring, our revenues are not concentrated within any one customer or group of customers. Maintenance services in our packaged solution are included for the first year from the date of completion. Our customers have an option to sign up for our maintenance program after the first year.
 
Our subsidiary Golden has 37 branch offices in provincial cities, Cheng Feng has 22 distribution points and Hongtianzhi has 53 distribution points throughout China as our customers are located across the country without any particular concentration in any region.

Material Opportunities and Challenges
 
Regulations promulgated by governmental agencies in China relating to security and surveillance industry often create opportunities for us. Currently, there are a number of formal and planned regulatory drivers which the Company believes offer significant growth opportunities. These include the estimated $6 billion to $12 billion that the Chinese government expects to spend for security infrastructure in preparation for the 2008 Olympics, along with the planned investment by Shanghai for the 2010 Worlds Fair. In addition, several ordinances have been passed by the Chinese government which require security surveillance systems to be installed in: (1) 660 cities throughout China for street surveillance as part of the Safe City Project “Plan 3111”; (2) all entertainment locations starting from March 1, 2006; (3) all Justice Departments and Courts; and (4) all coal mines in China (currently estimated at 24,000) from the beginning of 2008.
 
We are actively pursuing near-term acquisition prospects and other strategic opportunities. In the past twelve months, we successfully acquired Cheng Feng and Hongtianzhi and the security and surveillance business of Jian Golden An Ke Technology Co. Ltd., Shenzhen Golden Guangdian Technology Co. Ltd., Shenyang Golden Digital Technology Co. Ltd., and Jiangxi Golden Digital Technology Co. Ltd. (referred to herein as the “Four-Related Companies”). In May 2007, we acquired HiEasy. We also expect to close the acquisitions of Changzhou Minking Electronics Inc. Ltd., Hangzhou Tsingvision Intelligence System Co. Ltd., and Shenzhen Wandaiheng Industry Ltd. in 2007 and establish an exclusive cooperation relationship with Shenzhen Chuang Guan Intelligence Network Technology Co., Ltd. (“Chuang Guan”) in the second quarter of 2007 under which, among other things, Chuang Guan will subcontract or assign certain of its businesses to us to the extent permitted by applicable PRC laws and regulations.
 
We have a government policy monitoring group within the Company that regularly monitors changes in governmental regulations affecting the security and surveillance industry in China. If we determine that a new regulation or a change to an existing regulation presents an opportunity for us, we will actively pursue such opportunity. As a result, we act promptly on policy changes and are able to turn them into business opportunities.
 
We also face the long-term challenge of maintaining our rapid growth. In addition to maintaining the growth of our existing businesses, we will employ an acquisition strategy. In addition, to promote the continued growth of the group, we plan to explore others areas related to the security and surveillance industry (including, but not limited to, the fire and alarm sectors, access control, and related security and surveillance services) and recurring revenue business models within our existing business sectors.

Revenue. During the first quarter of 2007, we experienced solid growth in sales. Sales revenue increased from $14.6 million for the first quarter of 2006 to $38.5 million for the first quarter of 2007, representing a 163.5% increase. This included revenue generated from Cheng Feng of $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2007. The increase in revenue was mainly due to the following factors: First, demand for security and surveillance products has grown in China, which we attribute in part to the population in China in general becoming relatively wealthier; as well as increased demand within various industries and organizations, such as residential estates, factories and shopping centers. Second, the Chinese government initiated several programs and regulatory drivers during the past year, such as State Ordinance 458 and the “3111” program, that require many public places, including city-wide surveillance systems, traffic surveillance systems, critical government locations, cyber cafés, bars and discotheques, to install security systems. Third, our strategic efforts to increase our distribution channels during 2005 and 2006 allowed us to successfully take advantage of the growth in market demand in the first quarter of 2007. Fourth, we have been successful in raising sufficient working capital to facilitate expansion in the China market. Finally, our increased brand recognition in 2007 also contributed to the growth in sales revenue. Management expects growth to remain strong due to (i) continued growth in the security and surveillance market both within the corporate and government sectors, (ii) better capitalization of the Company to fuel its growth, (iii) continuing to enhance our branding and profiling in China, and (iv) acquisition strategy intended to boost our market share and competitiveness.

Revenue growth in the first quarter of 2006 was not as significant as that of the second and third quarters of 2006 because of the Chinese New Year holiday. The first quarter has traditionally been a slow quarter for us and the third quarter has traditionally been the strongest quarter in terms of sales. Management expects growth in the remainder of 2007 to remain strong.

During the first quarter of 2007, we signed 39 new contracts with a total contract value of approximately $33.6 million, of which we recognized $11.7 million in revenues. Of the 39 projects, 16 were finished as of March 31, 2007, and, accordingly, approximately $0.8 million of revenue related to warranty requirements was deferred to the second quarter of 2007. The remaining 23 projects had not been started as of March 31, 2007, and the value of these backlog projects was approximately $21.9 million. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company also completed implementation of 31 contracts signed in 2006 (representing all of the contracts that had been signed, but not yet implemented, during 2006), and recognized the revenue of $22.4 million deferred from 2006 related to those contracts. The following table shows the revenue recognized in the first quarter of 2007:

Income from installation projects contributed 88.5% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to 89.7% for the same period last year. Management believes that revenues from the installation projects will continue to be the Company’s major revenue source in the next a few years. With the acquisitions of Cheng Feng and Hongtianzhi and other planned acquisitions, management believes that the percentage of revenue from the sale of products will increase in the future.

Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold for the first quarter of 2007 totaled $28.3 million, compared to $10.2 million of the same period in 2006, an increase of 177.7%. Components of costs of goods sold in the first quarters of 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

Labor and security system purchase cost represented 1.2% and 98.8% of the total cost of goods sold for the first quarter of 2007, respectively, as compared to 2.0% and 98% for the same period in 2006.
Net margin. Net margin for the first three months of 2007 was 11.7%, as compared to 24.0% for the same period of 2006. The decrease of the net margin was mainly due to the combination of a decrease in sales price in the first quarter of 2007 and the increase in expenses related to the costs of being a public reporting company. The lower net margin of Cheng Feng’s business also contributed to the decrease of gross margin for the first quarter of 2007. Cheng Feng, as a separate business entity, reported a net income of approximately $0.1 million with a revenue of approximately $2.3 million. Cheng Feng’s net margin was approximately 4.3%. Cheng Feng generates almost all revenues from manufacturing security and surveillance equipments which generally has a lower margin than installation service revenue.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2007 increased by 666.7% to $2.3 million from $0.3 million of the same period in 2006, primarily due to compensation expense of the restricted common stock issued to employees, the hiring of additional staff, and professional expenses related to the costs of being a public reporting company.
 
Total selling expenses. Total selling expenses for the first quarter of 2007 were $0.6 million, a 394.3% increase from $0.1 million for the same period in 2006. The increase was mainly due to the hiring of sales staff.
 
Income Taxes. In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China for the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, our Chinese subsidiary Golden is subject to the Chinese enterprise income tax (“EIT”) rate of 15% for the fiscal years 2006, 2005, and 2004. Cheng Feng is subject to an EIT rate of 7.5% due to its software and high technology company status. We anticipate that our effective tax rate will change from the current 15% in the first quarter of 2007 because the companies we acquired and intend to acquire are located in different cities and may have different tax rates.
 
On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of the PRC determined to adopt a new corporate income tax law in its fifth plenary session. The new corporate income tax law unifies the application scope, tax rate, tax deduction and preferential policy for both domestic and foreign-invested enterprises.  The new corporate income tax law will be effective on January 1, 2008.  According to the new corporate income tax law, the applicable income tax rate for our operating subsidiaries may be subject to change.  As the implementation detail has not yet been announced, we cannot be sure of the potential impact of such new corporate income tax law on our financial position and operating results.
 
Income taxes paid increased $0.70 million to $1.32 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $0.62 million for the same period of 2006. We paid more taxes during the first three months of 2007 mostly because of increased income before income taxes during that period.
 
Net income. Net income for the first quarter of 2007 was $4.5 million, representing a 29.5% increase from the same period in 2006. The increase was mainly due to the increase in sales. During the first three months of 2007, we reported sales revenue of $38.5 million, with a back-log of approximately $21.9 million. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2007 was 26.3%, a decrease from 30.1% for the same quarter of 2006. While the first quarter of 2006 was an exceptional quarter in terms of gross margin, the gross margin for the first quarter of 2007 was also within the range of the average gross margin recorded by the Company. The decrease in gross margin in the first quarter was mainly due to a decrease in sales prices. As noted above, we decreased our selling prices as a strategic move to increase our market penetration into new markets. In the first quarter of 2007, about half of the projects we signed were in the western part of China where economic development is not as advanced as the coastal cities. We reduced the prices to gain market penetration in these cities.
  
Income from operations per share. The basic income from operations per share for the first quarter of 2007 was $0.20, as compared to $0.18 for the same quarter of 2006. The diluted income from operations per share for the first quarter of 2007 was $0.19, as compared to $0.18 for the same period of 2006.

Operating Activities:

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.58 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, which is a decrease of $8.84 million from the $7.26 million of the net cash provided by operating activities for the same period in 2006. The decrease was mainly due to an increase in inventories, prepayment and deposits and trade receivables.
 
Investing Activities:

Our main uses of cash for investing activities during the first quarter of 2007 were deposits for the acquisition of subsidiaries and businesses and for property, plant and equipment.

Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $20.90 million, which is an increase of $20.90 million from net cash used in investing activities of $0.001 million in the same period of 2006 due to increased acquisition of property, plant, equipment and businesses in 2007.

We have signed letters of intent to acquire Changzhou Minking Electronics Inc, Ltd. (“Minking”), Hangzhou Tsingvision Intelligence System Co., Ltd. (“Tsing”) and Shenzhen Wandaiheng Industry Ltd. (“Wandai”). Pursuant to the letters of intent, the cash consideration for these three intended acquisitions is expected to total $32.3 million with additional consideration to be paid in equity. The number of our shares to be included in the equity portion of the purchase price for the Minking and Tsing acquisitions will be subject to the achievement of certain net income performance targets over a two-year period. We expect to finance the cash portion of the purchase price with the net proceeds from our $60 million convertible notes financing that closed in February 2007. The Minking and Tsing acquisitions are expected to be accretive to earnings upon closing and are expected to provide support to the Company’s city-wide projects. Wandai owns an 80,000 square meter Industrial Park in Shenzhen. We expect that we will consolidate all existing and potentially acquired entities into a single location in Shenzhen in order to benefit from greater economies of scale. All three acquisitions are expected to close in the second quarter of 2007. Consummation of each acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including execution of definitive documentation and receipt of governmental approval.

As of December 31, 2006, our total long-term liabilities were approximately $2.22 million, consisting of a 10-year loan from China Construction Bank (“CCB”) for the purpose of purchasing new office premises in Shenzhen. We received the loan on September 27, 2006. We repaid this loan on March 27, 2007.

On August 16, 2006, we entered into a loan agreement with Shanghai PuDong Development Bank pursuant to which we borrowed RMB 10 million (approximately $1.28 million) with an annual interest rate of 5.94%. The loan was repaid on February 16, 2007.

On October 3, 2006, we signed a banking facility agreement with CCB under which CCB agreed to provide a new receivable-based facility to support our efforts in securing new contracts relating to the Safe City Project initiative, also known as “Plan 3111.” This facility will provide three possible financing options: (1) the government takes a loan from CCB to finance the project; (2) we sell the accounts receivable to CCB, 85% of the total account receivables value will be paid by CCB to the Company and the remaining 15% will be collected by CCB from the government; from the 15% collected from the government, CCB will retain certain finance charges and pay the remainder over to Company; or (3) we take a loan from CCB to finance the project As part of this agreement, we will make periodic deposits with CCB, which, depending upon the specific project, will provide a maximum factoring capacity of five to ten times the amount deposited. None of the facility has been drawn down as of the date of this Report.

In February 2007, we entered into two short-term loan agreements with Shanghai PuDong Development Bank pursuant to which we borrowed RMB10 million (approximately $1.29 million) at an annual interest rate of 6.15%, and RMB30 million (approximately $3.88 million) with an annual interest rate of 6.39%, respectively. The loans are due in February 2008.

On February 20, 2007, we completed a financing with Citadel pursuant to which we issued to Citadel $60 million aggregate principal amount of guaranteed senior unsecured convertible notes due 2012 (the “February Convertible Notes”). This financing replaced an existing bridge financing closed on February 8, 2007 in which we issued to Citadel $60 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes. The February Convertible Notes bear an annual interest rate of 1% and carry an initial conversion price of $18 per share. If the February Convertible Notes are not converted before their maturity, they will be redeemed by us on the maturity date at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the February Convertible Notes then outstanding plus an additional amount of 15.0% per annum, calculated on a quarterly compounded basis, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The net proceeds of approximately $60 million are and will be used for working capital and our acquisition plan.

In April 2007, we completed another financing with Citadel pursuant to which we issued to Citadel $50 million aggregate principal amount of guaranteed senior unsecured convertible notes due 2012 (the “April Convertible Notes”). The April Convertible Notes bear an annual interest of 1% and carry an initial conversion price of $23.60 per share. If the April Convertible Notes are not converted before their maturity, they will be redeemed by us on the maturity date at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the April Convertible Notes then outstanding plus an additional amount of 15.0% per annum, calculated on a quarterly compounded basis, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The net proceeds of approximately $50 million will be used for working capital and our acquisition plan.
 
We believe that our currently available working capital, after receiving the aggregate proceeds of our capital raising activities and the credit facilities referred to above, should be adequate to sustain our operations at our current levels through at least the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
This “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that require the more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of financial statements, including basis of consolidation, intangible assets, goodwill, inventories, revenue recognition, foreign currency translation, use of estimates and income taxes. Except for the implementation of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), as described below, management believes there have been no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2007 to the critical accounting policies discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 21, 2007.
 
-26-


We adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” (“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. We did not have any material unrecognized tax benefits and there was no effect on its financial condition or results of operations as a result of implementing FIN 48.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and PRC jurisdictions. We were not subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years before 2006. We do not believe there will be any material changes in our unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.

Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, we did not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor were any interest expenses recognized during the quarter. Our effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible expenses, temporary differences, and preferential tax treatment.
 
Seasonality
 
Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have been subject to seasonal variations. Our revenues are usually higher in the second half of the year than in the first half of the year and the first quarter is usually the slowest quarter because fewer projects are undertaken during and around the Chinese spring festival.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
The Company deposits surplus funds with Chinese banks earning daily interest. The Company does not invest in any instruments for trading purposes. All of the Company’s outstanding debt instruments carry fixed rates of interest. The Company’s operations are not sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates.
 
Foreign Exchange Risk
 
While our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, all of our consolidated revenues and consolidated costs and expenses are denominated in RMB. All of our assets are denominated in RMB except for cash. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. Dollars and RMB. If the RMB depreciates against the U.S. Dollar, the value of our RMB revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. dollar financial statements will decline. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.
 
-27-

 
Inflation 
 
Inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our product and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.
 
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined by regulations of the SEC, means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC 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 us in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosure. Each of Guoshen Tu, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Terence Yap, our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2007. Based upon their evaluation, these executive officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2007.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. We also maintain internal control over financial reporting. The term “internal control over financial reporting,” as defined by regulations of the SEC, means a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US GAAP, and includes those policies and procedures that:

 
·
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 
·
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There has been no change to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

If the notes are not converted before its maturity, the notes will be redeemed by the Company on the maturity date at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes then outstanding plus an additional amount of 15.0% per annum, calculated on a quarterly compounded basis, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The offer and sale of the notes were made in an offshore transaction pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
