CHINA ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Stated in US Dollars)

1.
ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

China Architectural Engineering, Inc. (the “Company”) formerly SRKP 1, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Delaware, United State on March 16, 2004. The Company’s common stock was listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange on September 28, 2007.
 
On October 17, 2006, the Company underwent a reverse-merger with Full Art International Ltd. (a Hong Kong company) and its four wholly-owned subsidiaries as detailed in Note 2(b) Consolidation below, involving an exchange of shares whereby the Company issued an aggregate of 43,304,125 shares of common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Full Art. The Company was the accounting acquiree. For financial reporting purposes, this transaction is classified as a recapitalization of China Architectural Engineering, Inc. and the historical financial statements of Full Art.
 
The Company through its subsidiaries conducts its principal activity as building envelope systems contractors, specializing in the design, engineering, fabrication and installation of curtain wall systems, roofing systems, steel construction systems and eco-energy saving building conservation systems, throughout China, Australia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and the United States.
 
The Company's work is performed under cost-plus-fee contracts, fixed-price contracts, and fixed-price contracts modified by incentive and penalty provisions. These contracts are undertaken by the Company or its wholly owned subsidiaries. The length of the Company's contracts varies but is typically about one to two years.
 
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
(a)
Method of accounting

The Company maintains its general ledger and journals with the accrual method accounting for financial reporting purposes. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of management. Accounting policies adopted by the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the presentation of consolidated financial statements, which are compiled on the accrual basis of accounting.

 
(b)
Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its twelve subsidiaries. Significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include 100% of the assets and liabilities of these majority-owned subsidiaries, and the ownership interests of minority investors are recorded as minority interests.

7


The Company owned the subsidiaries since its reverse-merger on October 17, 2006. As of June 30, 2008, detailed identities of the consolidating subsidiaries are as follows: -

(c)
Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America 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 consolidated 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.

 
(d)
Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows: -

20 years
Machinery and equipment
5 - 10 years
5 years
Motor vehicle
5 years
 
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

8


 
(e)
Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets

The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets.
 
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. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
During the reporting periods, there was no impairment loss.

(k)
Earnings per share

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS’) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”), and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”). SFAS No. 128 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options, and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

The calculation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 is based on the estimate fair value of the Company’s common stock during such periods applied to warrants and options using the treasury stock method to determine if they are dilutive. The Convertible Bond is included on an “as converted “basis when these shares are dilutive.

Components of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

Revenue and cost recognition
 
Revenues from fixed-price and modified fixed-price construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimated total cost for each contract.

Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation costs.

10

 
Selling, general, and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Profit incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to claims is included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.

Total estimated gross profit on a contract, being the difference between total estimated contract revenue and total estimated contract cost, is determined before the amount earned on the contract for a period can be determined.

The measurement of the extent of progress toward completion is used to determine the amount of gross profit earned to date and that the earned revenue to date is the sum of the total cost incurred on the contract and the amount of gross profit earned.

Earned revenue, cost of earned revenue, and gross profit are determined as follows: -

 
a.
Earned Revenue is the amount of gross profit earned on a contract for a period plus the costs incurred on the contract during the period.

 
b.
Cost of Earned Revenue is the cost incurred during the period, excluding the cost of materials not unique to a contract that have not been used for the contract.

 
c.
Gross Profit earned on a contract is computed by multiplying the total estimated gross profit on the contract by the percentage of completion. The excess of that amount over the amount of gross profit reported in prior periods is the earned gross profit that should be recognized in the income statement for the current period.

Change orders are common for the changes in specifications or design while claims are uncommon. Contract revenue and costs are adjusted to reflect change orders approved by the customer and the contractor regarding both scope and price. Recognition of amounts of additional contract revenue relating to claims is appropriate only if it is probable that the claim will result in additional contract revenue and if the amount can be reliably estimated.

 
(m)
Income taxes

The Company uses the accrual method of accounting to determine and report its taxable reduction of income taxes for the year in which they are available. The Company has implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The Company also adopted FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Tax Positions.

Income tax liabilities computed according to the United States, People’s Republic of China (PRC), Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR and Australia tax laws are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of fixed assets and intangible assets for financial and tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be either taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future income taxes. A valuation allowance is created to evaluate deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize that tax benefit, or that future realization is uncertain.

11


In respect of the Company’s subsidiaries domiciled and operated in China and Hong Kong, the taxation of these entities can be summarized as follows:

·
Zhuhai King Glass Engineering Co., Limited (“Zhuhai KGE”) and Zhuhai King General Glass Engineering Technology Co., Limited (“Zhuhai KGGET”) are located in Zhuhai and was subject to the PRC corporation income tax rate of 33% prior to January 1, 2008. However, in accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of PRC, the Zhuhai local corporation income tax rate was 15% prior to January 1, 2008. Zhuhai KGGET is presently dormant, and from the time that it has its first profitable tax year, it is exempt from corporate income tax for its first two years and is then entitled to a 50% tax reduction for the succeeding three years. Zhuhai KGGET has enjoyed this tax incentive in the previous years. On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China enacted a new PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, under which foreign invested enterprises and domestic companies will be subject to enterprise income tax at a uniform rate of 25%. The new law has become effective from January 1, 2008. During the transition period, the tax rate will be gradually increased starting in 2008 and be equal to the new tax rate in 2012. Zhuhai KGE is subject to 18% tax rate during the first half year of 2008 and anticipates that as a result of the new EIT law, its income tax provision will increase, which could adversely affect Zhuhai KGE’s financial condition and results of operations.

·
Full Art International Limited, King General Engineering (HK) Limited, and KGE Building System Limited are subject to Hong Kong profits tax rate of 17.5%.

·
Techwell Engineering Limited is subject to Hong Kong profits tax rate of 17.5%. Techwell International Limited is a Macau registered company and therefore is subject to Macau profits tax rate of 12%. Techwell Building System (Shenzhen) Co. Limited is located in Shenzhen and is subject to PRC corporate income tax rate of 18% in 2008.

·
KGE Australia Pty Limited is subject to corporate income tax rate of 30%.

 
·
The Company is subject to United States Tax according to Internal Revenue Code Sections 951 and 957.

 
·
The Company, after a reverse-merger on October 17, 2006, revived to be an active business enterprise because of the operations with subsidiaries in China and Hong Kong. Based on the consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company shall be taxed at the 35% tax rate.

 
·
Techwell Engineering Limited has established a branch in Dubai, which has zero corporate income tax rate.

Recent accounting pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, (‘‘SFAS 141(R)’’). SFAS 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements of the original pronouncement requiring that the purchase method be used for all business combinations, but also provides revised guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company will evaluate how the new requirements could impact the accounting for any acquisitions completed beginning in fiscal 2009 and beyond, and the potential impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements − an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS 160 requires that ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent (previously referred to as minority interests), and the amount of consolidated net income, be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated financial statements. It also requires once a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. Sufficient disclosures are required to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners as components of equity. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements are applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 160 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about a company’s derivative and hedging activities. These enhanced disclosures will discuss (a) how and why a company uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 and its related interpretations and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. This standard will have no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP SFAS No. 142-3”). FSP SFAS No. 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, and other US GAAP. FSP SFAS No. 142-3 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FSP SFAS No. 142-3 on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

14

 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, (“SFAS No. 162”), which becomes effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) amendments to US Auditing Standards (“AU”) Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with US GAAP. This standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
 
In June 2008, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 08-4, Transition Guidance for Conforming Changes to EITF Issue No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios (“EITF No. 08-4”). Subsequent to the issuance of EITF No. 98-5, certain portions of the guidance contained in EITF No. 98-5 were nullified by EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5, ‘Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios’ (“EITF No. 00-27”). However, the portions of EITF No. 98-5 that were nullified by EITF No. 00-27 were not specifically identified in EITF No. 98-5, nor were the illustrative examples in EITF No. 98-5 updated for the effects of EITF No. 00-27. EITF No. 08-4 specifically addresses the conforming changes to EITF Issue No. 98-5 and provides transition guidance for the conforming changes. EITF No. 08-4 is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting EITF No. 08-4 on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

8. CONVERTIBLE BONDS AND BOND WARRANTS

A. $10,000,000 Variable Rate Convertible Bonds due in 2012

On April 12, 2007, the Company completed a financing transaction with ABN AMRO Bank N.V. (the “Subscriber”) issuing (i) $10,000,000 Variable Rate Convertible Bonds due in 2012 (the “Bonds”) and (ii) 800,000 warrants to purchase an aggregate of 800,000 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustments for stock splits or reorganizations as set forth in the warrant, that expire in 2010 (the “Warrants”).

The Bonds were subscribed at a price equal to 97% of their principal amount, which is the issue price of 100% less a 3% commission to the Subscriber. The Bonds were issued pursuant to, and are subject to the terms and conditions of, a trust deed dated April 12, 2007, as amended, between us and The Bank of New York, London Branch (the “Amended and Restated Trust Deed”). The Bonds are also subject to a paying and conversion agency agreement dated April 12, 2007 between us, The Bank of New York, and The Bank of New York, London Branch. The terms and conditions of the Bonds, as set forth in the Amended and Restated Trust Deed include, among other thing, the following terms:

 
·
Interest Rate. The Bonds bear interest from April 12, 2007 at the rate of 6% per annum for the first year after April 12, 2007 and 3% per annum thereafter, of the principal amount of the Bonds.

 
·
Conversion. Each Bond is convertible at the option of the holder at any time after April 12, 2008 up to March 28, 2012, into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price equal to the price per share at which shares are sold in our initial public offering of common stock on the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) with minimum gross proceeds of $2,000,000. If no initial public offering occurs prior to conversion, the conversion price per share will be $2.00, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Bonds. Based on the initial public offering completed on October 3, 2007 the initial conversion is now set at $3.50 per share resulting initial conversion shares of 2,857,143. The conversion price is subject to adjustment in certain events, including our issuance of additional shares of common stock or rights to purchase common stock at a per share or per share exercise or conversion price, respectively, at less than the applicable per share conversion price of the Bonds. If for the period of 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to April 12, 2009 or February 18, 2012, the conversion price for the Bonds is higher than the average closing price for the shares, then the conversion price will be reset to such average closing price; provided that, the conversion price will not be reset lower than 70% of the then existing conversion price. In addition, the Amended and Restated Trust Deed provides that the conversion price of the Bonds cannot be adjusted to lower than $0.25 per share of common stock (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, spin-offs, rights offerings, recapitalizations and similar events).

 
·
Mandatory Redemptions. If on or before April 12, 2008, either (i) our common stock (including the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Bonds and exercise of the Warrants) are not listed on AMEX or (ii) the Bonds, Warrants, and shares underlying the Bonds and Warrants are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), then holders of the Bonds can require us to redeem the Bonds at 106.09% of the principal amount. In addition, at any time after April 12, 2010, holders of the Bonds can require us to redeem the Bonds at 126.51% of the principal amount.

On April 12, 2007, the Company entered into a warrant instrument with the Subscriber pursuant to which the Subscriber purchased the Warrants from us (the “Warrant Instrument”). The Warrants, which are represented by a global certificate, are also subject to a warrant agency agreement by and among us, The Bank of New York and The Bank of New York, London Branch dated April 12, 2007 (the “Warrant Agency Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Instrument and the Warrant Agency Agreement, the Warrants vested on April 12, 2007 and will terminate on April 12, 2010. The Bond Warrants are exercisable at a per share exercise price of $0.01. The Company has agreed to list the Warrants on AMEX, or any alternative stock exchange by April 12, 2008.

On April 12, 2007, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Subscriber pursuant to which the Company agreed to include the Bonds, the Warrants, and the shares of common stock underlying the Bonds and Warrants in a pre-effective amendment to a registration statement that the Company have on file with the SEC. Subsequently, the Company verbally agreed with the Subscriber not to include the Subscriber’s securities in the pre-effective amendment to the registration statement and to register them in a separate registration statement to be filed promptly after the effective date of the previously filed registration statement. The Company registered resale of the Bonds, the Warrants, and the shares of common stock underlying the Bonds and Warrants in a registration statement that was declared effective by the SEC on February 7, 2008.

On April 12, 2007, the date of issuance, the Company determined the fair value of the Bonds to be $9,700,000. The warrants and the beneficial conversion feature were $3,207,790 and $3,507,791 respectively, which were determined under the Black-Scholes valuation method. They are included under stockholders’ equity as additional paid in capital - stock warrants and additional paid in capital - beneficial conversion feature respectively in accordance with guidance of APB 14 and EITF No. 98-5. Accordingly, the interest discount on the warrants and beneficial conversion feature were recorded, and are being amortized by the interest method of 5 years.

As addressed in an earlier paragraph under Mandatory Redemptions, the Company will redeem each bond at 150.87% of its principal amount on April 4, 2012 (the maturity date). On the basis of this commitment, the Company has determined the total redemption premium to be $5,087,100, which is an addition to the original face value of the Bonds of $10,000,000. This redemption premium is to be amortized to interest expense over the term of the Bonds by the interest method.

Because of the fact that the $10,000,000 Variable Rate Convertible Bonds contain three separate securities and yet merged into one package, the bond security must identify its constituents and establish the individual value as determined by the Issuer as follows:

(1)
 
Bond Discount
 
300,000
 
(2)
 
Warrants
 
2,183,000

As an industrial practice, there are certain procedures that need to be performed, such as project account finalization, by both the customer and the Company before the final billing is issued; however this does not affect the Company’s recognition of revenue and respective cost according to the terms of the contract with the consistent application of the percentage-of-completion method.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

Contract revenues earned for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $41.4 million, an increase of $21.9 million, or 112%, from the contract revenues earned of $19.5 million for the comparable period in 2007. The primary reason for the increase in contract revenues earned was due to new large overseas projects outside of China for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
 
Cost of contract revenues earned for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $28.0 million, an increase of $16.0 million, or 133%, from $12.0 million for the comparable period in 2007. Cost of contract revenues earned consists of the raw materials, labor and other operating costs related to manufacturing. The increase in costs of contract revenues earned was primarily due to the increase in contract revenue and increase in the cost of raw materials and other costs for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $13.3 million, an increase of $5.8 million, or 77%, from $7.5 million for the comparable period of 2007. Our gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 32.2% as compared with 38.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in gross margin was primarily a result of higher raw materials and labor costs in the quarter, which was partially offset by higher margins obtained from overseas projects.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of approximately $2.9 million, or 171%, from $1.7 million for the comparable period in 2007. The increase was due to the growth in staff, office rental and other start-up costs associated with the expansion of our overseas operations during the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Interest expenses were approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of approximately $0.6 million, from approximately $0.6 million for the comparable period in 2007. The increase was mainly due to cash interest expense and non-cash amortization expense associated with the $10 million convertible bonds and warrants issued in April 2007 and $20 million convertible bonds and warrants issued in April 2008.

Income tax was approximately $70,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 at an effective tax rate of 0.9%, compared with $937,000 taxes for the same period of 2007 at an effective tax rate of 17.9%. The primary reason for the decrease was due to zero corporate income tax rate associated with revenues from the Dubai project, our largest ongoing project during the second quarter of 2008.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $7.6 million, an increase of $3.3 million, or 77%, from $4.3 million for the comparable period in 2007.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

Contract revenues earned for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $66.7 million, an increase of $32.8 million, or 97%, from the contract revenues earned of $33.9 million for the comparable period in 2007. The primary reason for the increase in contract revenues earned was due to new large overseas projects outside of China for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
 
Cost of contract revenues earned for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $44.9 million, an increase of $21.4 million, or 91%, from $23.5 million for the comparable period in 2007. Cost of contract revenues earned consists of the raw materials, labor and other operating costs related to manufacturing. The increase in costs of contract revenues earned was primarily due to the increase in contract revenue and increase in the cost of raw materials and other costs for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
 
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $21.8 million, an increase of $11.4 million, or 110%, from $10.4 million for the comparable period of 2007. Our gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 32.6% as compared with 30.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in gross margin was primarily a result of higher margins obtained from overseas projects, which was partially offset by higher raw materials and labor costs in the first half of 2008.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of approximately $5.0 million, or 192%, from $2.6 million for the comparable period in 2007. The increase was due to the growth in staff, office rental and other start-up costs associated with the expansion of our overseas operations during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Interest expenses were approximately $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of approximately $0.9 million, from approximately $0.6 million for the comparable period in 2007. The increase was mainly due to cash interest expense and non-cash amortization expense associated with the $10 million convertible bonds and warrants issued in April 2007 and $20 million convertible bonds and warrants issued in April 2008.
 
30

 
Income tax was approximately $117,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 at an effective tax rate of 0.9%, compared with $1,265,000 taxes for the same period of 2007 at an effective tax rate of 17.4%. The primary reason for the decrease was due to zero corporate income tax rate associated with revenues from the Dubai project, our largest ongoing project during the first half of 2008.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $12.8 million, an increase of $6.8 million, or 113%, from $6.0 million for the comparable period in 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $17.8 million. Prior to October 17, 2006, we have historically financed our business operations through short-term bank loans, cash provided by operations, and credit provided by suppliers. More recently, we have raised capital through debt and equity offerings, as well as bonding facilities.

On April 15, 2008, we completed a financing transaction pursuant to which we issued the 2008 Bonds in the principal amount of $20.0 million. The 2008 Bonds bear cash interest at the rate of 12% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”) commencing October 15, 2008. On any Interest Payment Date on or after April 15, 2010, the holders of the Bonds can require us to redeem the Bonds at 116.61% of the principal amount. We are required to redeem any outstanding Bonds at 116.61% of its principal amount on April 15, 2011. If we are required to repurchase all or a portion of the Bonds and do not have sufficient cash to make the repurchase, we may be required to obtain third party financing to do so, and there can be no assurances that we will be able to secure financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance, results of operations and stock price. We also issued 300,000 warrants in connection with the 2008 Bonds on April 15, 2008 to purchase an aggregate of 300,000 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustments for stock splits or reorganizations as set forth in the warrant instrument.

In October 2006, we opened a line of credit facility with the Zhuhai branch of Bank of East Asia for up to a maximum of RMB20,000,000. The credit facility does not require renewal until October 2011. In order to facilitate the extension of the credit facility, we agreed to deposit the equivalent amount in HKD on fixed deposit terms into the Hong Kong branch of Bank of East Asia. This facility is subject to a current interest rate of 5.508% and interest rate adjusts every 6 months. There was no outstanding balance as of June 30, 2008.

Our subsidiary, Zhuhai King Glass Engineering Co., Limited, borrowed from Bank of East Asia with a condominium as collateral. This facility, which is due October 25, 2011, is subject to a current interest rate of 5.832% and interest rate adjusts every 6 months. The amount outstanding as of June 30, 2008 was $161,214.

Full Art International Limited incurred an automobile hire purchase obligations due November 12, 2009 that had an outstanding amount of $300,391 as of June 30, 2008.

We also opened a line of credit and a trust receipts line with the Hong Kong Branch of Dah Sing Bank. The credit facilities are set to expire on November 28 and November 25, 2008, respectively, which had approximately $290,506 and $1,087,329, respectively, outstanding as of June 30, 2008.

On February 19, 2008, we and Techwell Engineering Limited were granted a bonding facility by the Hong Kong Branch of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. The facility amount was $10,000,000, at a tenor of up to one year with 2% flat interest rate on the issued amount of bonds such as bank guarantees, performance bonds, advanced payment bonds and standby letters of credit. ABN AMRO required guarantees as follows: (i) an irrevocable and unconditional guarantee executed by Zhuhai King Glass Engineering Co. Limited and (ii) share charge over the shares of us for a minimum value of $5,000,000 or equivalent, executed by KGE Group Limited. On May 2, 2008, the facility was increased to $12,000,000 with additional cash collateral of $2,000,000. This facility is now fully utilized. 

On March 28, 2008, we, Full Art and Techwell Engineering Limited were granted a bonding facility by the Hong Kong Branch of HSBC. The facility amount was $10,000,000, at a tenor of up to one year with 1% flat interest rate on the issued amount of bonds such as bank guarantees, performance bonds, advanced payment bonds and standby letters of credit. HSBC required guarantees as follows: (i) an unlimited guarantee among China Architectural Engineering, Inc., Full Art International Limited and Techwell Engineering Limited; and (ii) an “all monies” securities deposits with 15% margin. As of August 8, 2008, we have utilized $8.4 million of the facility.  

31

 
We also lease certain administrative and production facilities from third parties. Accordingly, for the six months ended June, 2008 and 2007, we incurred rental expenses of $856,780 and $279,069, respectively.

On July 19, 2008, Zhuhai King Glass Engineering Co., Ltd., our wholly-owned subsidiary was granted a bank’s acceptance bill facility by the Shenzhen Branch of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. The facility amount is RMB70,000,000 (US$10,218,978). ABN AMRO requires guarantees irrevocable and unconditional guarantee from us and cash collateral of 20% of bank’s acceptance bill issued. As of August 8, 2008, Zhuhai King Glass Engineering Co., Ltd. utilized RMB27,540,000 (US$4,020,000) of the facility.

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $7.4 million, as compared to $5.6 million used in the same period in 2007. The change is primarily the result of growth in net income, add-back of non-cash warrant expense and non-cash amortization expense on the $10,000,000 April 2007 and $20,000,000 April 2008 convertible bonds, an increase in receivables due to a relatively long collection period typical of the architecture industry in China, and an increase in payables for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Net cash used by investing activities was approximately $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to approximately $0.5 million used for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The change was mainly a result of an increase of fixed assets purchased during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $9.9 million provided for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase was primarily due to the issuance of $20,000,000 convertible bonds in April 2008.

At June 30, 2008, we had no material commitments for capital expenditures other than for those expenditures incurred in the ordinary course of business. We intend to expend a significant amount of capital to purchase materials and serve as deposits for performance bonds for new projects that we have obtained. Additional capital for this objective may be required that is in excess of our liquidity, requiring us to raise additional capital through an equity offering or secured or unsecured debt financing. The availability of additional capital resources will depend on prevailing market conditions, interest rates, and our existing financial position and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses and allocated charges during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007. We discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007. Other than as indicated in this quarterly report, there have been no material revisions to the critical accounting policies as filed in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2008 and April 29, 2008, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, (‘‘SFAS 141(R)’’). SFAS 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements of the original pronouncement requiring that the purchase method be used for all business combinations, but also provides revised guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company will evaluate how the new requirements could impact the accounting for any acquisitions completed beginning in fiscal 2009 and beyond, and the potential impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements − an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS 160 requires that ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent (previously referred to as minority interests), and the amount of consolidated net income, be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated financial statements. It also requires once a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. Sufficient disclosures are required to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners as components of equity. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements are applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 160 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about a company’s derivative and hedging activities. These enhanced disclosures will discuss (a) how and why a company uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 and its related interpretations and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. This standard will have no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP SFAS No. 142-3”). FSP SFAS No. 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, and other US GAAP. FSP SFAS No. 142-3 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FSP SFAS No. 142-3 on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
33


In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, (“SFAS No. 162”), which becomes effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) amendments to US Auditing Standards (“AU”) Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with US GAAP. This standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

In June 2008, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 08-4, Transition Guidance for Conforming Changes to EITF Issue No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios (“EITF No. 08-4”). Subsequent to the issuance of EITF No. 98-5, certain portions of the guidance contained in EITF No. 98-5 were nullified by EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5, ‘Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios’ (“EITF No. 00-27”). However, the portions of EITF No. 98-5 that were nullified by EITF No. 00-27 were not specifically identified in EITF No. 98-5, nor were the illustrative examples in EITF No. 98-5 updated for the effects of EITF No. 00-27. EITF No. 08-4 specifically addresses the conforming changes to EITF Issue No. 98-5 and provides transition guidance for the conforming changes. EITF No. 08-4 is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting EITF No. 08-4 on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided in Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2008 and April 29, 2008, respectively.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission'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 under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and which also are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting
 
As disclosed in the Form 8-K filing filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 16, 2008, our CFO resigned her position effective June 30, 2008. A new CFO was appointed as of the same date and has assumed the internal control duties of the CFO. Based on the evaluation of our management as required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, we believe that, except as stated above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
