4. Comment:  We note from your disclosures on page 11 that you are suing certain of your customers for overdue payments.  With a view towards future disclosure, please provide us with a specific and comprehensive discussion regarding how you have considered the length of your payment terms and the possibility of payment defaults in your revenue recognition policy.

Response:  The Company notes your comment and has provided below a comprehensive discussion of payment terms and possibility of default as it relates to the Company’s revenue recognition policy.

Payment terms are set forth in the Company’s contracts with its customers.  The lengths of payment terms are consistent with the industry.  In accordance to the SAB 104, collectibility is reasonably assured when the Company collects revenue.  Many of the projects that Company undertook were public works projects.  For example, the project in Dubai was an infrastructure project.  When the Company entered into this contract and extended credit to the customer, it was relying on the credit of the Dubai government.  Many projects in the PRC are also with government entities; therefore, when the Company enters into these projects and performs the required service, short of global financial crisis, it should receive payments on a timely basis.  Collection through legal process is inevitable; however, such kind of collection is quite limited; at this point these are six cases.  The Company believes that its revenue recognition policy is in line with the requirements set forth in SAB 104.

Selling, General, And Administrative Costs, page 27

5. Comment:  With a view towards future disclosure, please provide us with a specific and comprehensive discussion regarding how you determined it was appropriate to include allowances for estimates losses on uncompleted contracts in your selling, general and administrative costs and what consideration you gave to including the amounts within the costs of contract revenues.

Response:  The Company notes your comment and responds that the cost of estimated uncompleted contract losses were included in SG&A because these are costs outside of the Company’s normal expenditure cycles that flow downstream into its GL accounts.  They are management assertions made after careful review of each contract.  The Company also believes that given the nature of its business, the costs recorded in cost of contract revenue bear a direct relationship on the recognition of revenue; therefore, such cost related to losses should be handled separately.  The Company also believes that the SG&A is direct reflection of management’s performance, where the cost of contract revenue is reflection of the Company overall cost budgeting and operations effectiveness.

Results of Operations, page 29

6. Comment:  In future filings, please provide a more specific and comprehensive qualitative and quantitative discussion of the reasons for the significant changes in your results from period-to-period.  Your discussion should include, but not be limited to, the following items:

— Disclose the number of the increase in projects and quantify the resulting increase in the amount of contract revenue generated,

— Discuss any negative factors impacting your profitability such as decreases in contract pricing or contract losses;

— Quantify the increase in costs of raw materials, project set-up costs and labor costs since these were the primary reasons for the fluctuation in cost of contract revenue;

— Quantify the significant reasons you have identified for the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and ensure that you explain the majority of the increase or decrease in your discussion; and

— Discuss the impact of any acquisitions on your results.

We remind you that management's discussion and analysis should include meaningful information to enhance overall financial disclosure, provide narrative explanation of the company's financial statements, enabling investors to see the company through the eyes of management, and provide information about the quality of, and potential variability of, the company's earnings and cash flow so that investors can ascertain the likelihood that past performance is indicative of future performance.  Please refer to Release No. 33-8350, Interpretation - - Commission's Guidance Regarding Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for more guidance.

Response:  The Company notes your comment and confirms that in future filings the Company will provide a more specific and comprehensive qualitative and quantitative discussion of the reasons for the significant changes in results of operations, including, but not limited to, the bullet-pointed items referenced in your comment.  The Company has commenced to include increased disclosures in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods ended September 30, 2009, starting on page 22, as filed with the Commission on November 16, 2009:  http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1287668/000114420409059977/v166361_10q.htm

Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 30

7. Comment:  Given the importance of available funding to your business, please revise future filings to include a more specific and comprehensive discussion of the terms of any significant covenants within your debt agreements.  In addition, if you believe that it is reasonably likely that you will not meet any significant debt covenant, please revise future filings to also present, for your most significant covenants, your actual ratios and other actual amounts versus the minimum/maximum ratios/amounts permitted as of each reporting date.  Such presentation will allow an investor to easily understand your current status in meeting your financial covenants.

9. Comment:  We note your disclosure that you determined the value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature of your $10 million variable rate convertible bonds were $3,207,790 and $3,507,791, respectively.  Please help us understand how these amounts reconcile to your disclosures on pages 20, F-26 and F-29.

Response: Value of the warrants and beneficial conversion feature of the $10 Million Bond will be revised to $1,746,400 and $1,746,400 respectively.  In the matter of reconciling the warrants value of $10 million bonds and $20 million bonds as reflected on page F-29, the respective amounts are:

$10 M. Bonds Warrant Value	$	1,746,400
$20 M. Bonds Warrant Value	$	1,413,503
	$	3,159,903

Please also see the analysis of components comprised in the $10 million and $20 million bonds to reconcile to the amounts reported in each period presented for 2007 and 2008 (Exhibit 5).

10. Comment:  Please provide us with a specific and comprehensive discussion regarding how you determined that your $20 million convertible bonds did not contain a beneficial conversion feature.

Response:  We enclose a calculation worksheet (Exhibit 4) of the $20 million Bonds, which shows the conversion price at $6.35 is higher than the fair market value at the issuance date and, therefore, there is no beneficial conversion feature.

11. Comment:  Please help us understand why the interest discount for your beneficial conversion feature decreased from $4,342,857 at December 31, 2007 to $1,737,143 at December 3 1,2008.

Response:  As disclosed in Exhibit 5 addressed in the response to SEC Comment No. 9, above, the beneficial conversion feature (BCF) of December 31, 2007 was determined to be $4,342,857. By applying the amortization rate over the bond life, the BCF Discount is being amortized gradually to leave a balance of BCF Discount $1,737,143 at December 31, 2008.

12. Comment:  Please supplementally provide us with the detail of the accretion of interest discount and accrual of interest payable disclosed on page F-29.

Response:  As disclosed in Exhibit 5 addressed in the response to SEC Comment No. 9, above, details of the accretion of interest discount and accrual of interest payable disclosed on Page F-29, are shown in the tabulation at each reporting period.

13. Comment:  Based on your current disclosures, it is unclear whether you believe a material loss is possible related to the Techwell lawsuit.  If a material loss is reasonably provide the additional disclosures required by SAB 5:Y and SFAS 5.

Response:  The Company respectfully notes your comment and responds that after consultation with its Hong Kong legal counsel engaged to represent the litigation and after considering all the facts and circumstances of the matter, management does not believe that there will be any possibility of material loss incurred because the plaintiff’s claims will not be successful.  The estimated loss will probably be the shortfall between legal costs incurred and our counterclaim recovered.

14. Comment:  Please supplementally provide us, and include in future filings, a quantitative discussion of the impact of Techwell on your operations for each period presented.

Response:  Since acquiring Techwell on November 6, 2007, its operation had very minimal impact in year 2007.  Revenue and net income of that year attributed to merely 3% and 1%, respectively.  Basically, Techwell operates one job i.e. Dubai Project, which started in early 2008 and will be completed before the end of 2009.

The following tabulation outlines the impact of Techwell on the Company’s overall operations for each period presented below.

Reporting Period	2008 Q1	2008 Q2	2008 Q3	2008 Q4	2008 Total	2009 Q1	2009 Q2	2009 Q3	2009 YTD
Total Revenue	$25,349,306	$41,380,189	$55,978,184	$28,957,993	$151,665,672	$36,343,064	$30,598,974	$25,558,074	$92,500,112
Dubai’s Revenue	$11,621,790	13,830,488	28,510,189	3,222,6824	57,185,117	21,155,723	14,423,085	7,880,632	43,459,440
Dubai’s %	45.8	33.4	50.9	11.1	37.7	58.2	47.1	30.8	47.0
Total Net Income (Loss)	$ 5,173,718	$7,577,783	$9,909,524	$<28,534,446>	$<5,873,415>	$ 943,611	$ 2,543,670	$<8,381,286>	$<4,894,005>
Dubai’s Net Income	$7,340,747	8,186,268	14,733,790	<11,224,660>	19,036,145	5,348,101	5,045,497	1,776,842	12,170,440
Dubai’s %	141.9	108.0	148.7	39.3		568.8	198.4

The Dubai project’s revenue contribution attributes to a significant but volatile trend throughout 2008 and three quarters in 2009 as depicted in the tabulation.  The fourth quarter of 2008 experienced a serious contraction caused by global financial Tsunami. The first, second, and third quarter of 2009 reflected the final phase of the project pushing work to be completed before the job comes to a termination.  Dubai’s overwhelmingly exceeds those conventional jobs in PRC.

15. Comment:  With a view towards future disclosure, please tell us how you are accounting for the reset of the conversion price of your $10 million Variable Rate Bonds.

Response:  The $10 Million Variable Convertible Bond had a reset feature as a protection to the bondholders for a low stock price.  The reset feature is accounted for under EITF 00-27, whereby a beneficial conversion feature is calculated at the commitment date of the Bond Issuance, and in the event that the Company’s stock price falls below a certain threshold set forth in the terms and conditions of the Securities Agreement

The Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”) is accounted for as a discount to the bond that is being accreted over the remaining life of the bond.  As of April 12, 2009, the reset feature has come into effect; the Company started to record the discount accordingly.  The BCF of the Bond amounted to $3,428,571 as determined by the enclosed calculation worksheet. (Exhibit 6)

Because of the inclusion of the reset of conversion price, we have revised the calculation of BCF Value and Interest Expense (Exhibit 6)
