The Company, through its subsidiary companies, Titanium Technology Limited and Titanium Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., mainly focus in the development of advanced biometric technology and installation and implement of advanced facial based biometric identification and security projects for law enforcement, mass transportation, and other government and private sector customers.

The accompanying financial statements present the financial position and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiary companies, Titanium Technology Limited and Titanium Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (collectively known as the “Group”). The Group’s functional currency is the Hong Kong dollar.


NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with both accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

In the opinion of management, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 which has been derived from audited financial statements and these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary to state fairly the results for the periods presented.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Group will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

As of June 30, 2008, the Group had incurred a net loss of HK$2,897,553 and an accumulated deficit of HK$10,717,244. Additionally, the Group has incurred substantive losses over the past several years and has a capital deficit of HK$222,944. Management has taken certain action and continues to implement changes designed to improve the Group’s financial results and operating cash flows. The actions involve certain cost-saving initiatives and growing strategies, including rapid promotion and marketing the new products in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). Management believes that these actions will enable the Group to improve future profitability and cash flow in its continuing operations through June 30, 2008. As a result, the financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.


NOTE 4 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Group has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure, on an item-by-item basis, specified financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are required to be reported in earnings at each reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the provisions of which are required to be applied prospectively. The Group believes that SFAS 159 should not have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141R"). SFAS No. 141R will change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS No. 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141R will change the accounting treatment and disclosure for certain specific items in a business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, any business combinations the Group engages in will be recorded and disclosed following existing GAAP until January 1, 2009. The Group expects SFAS No. 141R will have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions at that time. The Group is still assessing the impact of this pronouncement.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements--An Amendment of ARB No. 51, or SFAS No. 160" ("SFAS No. 160"). SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Group believes that SFAS 160 should not have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 161"). SFAS 161 requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information that should enable financial-statement users to understand how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Group's future financial position or results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”). This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. This statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The Group does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 to have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Group.


NOTE 5 – PER SHARE INFORMATION

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share 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 Group.  For the period ended June 30, 2008, outstanding warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Group which were issued in connection with the prior sale of common stock were not considered to have a dilutive effect since the exercise price of the warrants exceeded the average market price of the common stock for that period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Group did not grant any stock options to employees, directors and consultants. The effect of outstanding stock options which could result in the issuance of 4,625,000 shares of common stock as of June 30, 2008 is anti-dilutive. As a result, diluted loss per share data does not include the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and has been presented jointly with basic loss per share.

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES

The Group accounts for income tax using SFAS No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are provided for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for the expected future tax benefits from loss carry-forwards and provisions, if any. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected in the years of recovery or reversal and the effect from a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period of enactment. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Group also adopts the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transitions. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Group and its subsidiaries incurred net operating losses of approximately HK$2,932,567 for income tax purposes and no provision for income taxes is necessary.

The Group recognized a deferred tax asset of approximately HK$683,534 as of June 30, 2008, primarily relating to cumulative net operating loss carry forwards of approximately HK$10,316,137. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Group considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. At present, the Group does not have a history of income to conclude that it is more likely than not that the Group will be able to realize all of its tax benefits. Therefore, a valuation allowance of HK$683,534 was established for the full value of the deferred tax asset. A valuation allowance will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the reversal of any portion or all of the valuation allowance net of appropriate reserves. Should the Group continue to be profitable in future periods with supportable trend, the valuation allowance will be reversed accordingly.


NOTE 7 – SHORT-TERM BANK LOAN

The short-term bank loan is unsecured, payable to financial institutions, which is guaranteed by the directors, with effective interest rate at 6.75% per annum payable monthly,fully repayable in January 22, 2008.


NOTE 8 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE

On April 3, 2007, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with several accredited investors (“the Investors”). In accordance with the Agreement, the Investors agreed to purchase in the aggregate, HK$11,310,000 (US$1,450,000) principal amount of Series A 8% Senior Convertible Debentures (“the Debenture”).

The Debenture has the following material terms:

Interest at 8% per annum, payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 beginning July 1, 2007 in cash or in shares at the option of the Company, with the shares to be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement and priced at the lesser of (a) US$0.30 or (b) 90% of the volume-weighted average price for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately prior to payment;
Maturity date of 36 months;
Convertible at any time by the holders into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to US$0.30;
Convertible at the option of the Company as long as there is an effective registration statement covering the shares underlying the debentures and the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at least US$0.75 per share;
Redeemable at the option of the Company at 120% of face value, as long as there is an effective registration statement covering the shares underlying the debentures; and
Anti-dilution protections to allow adjustments to the conversion price of the debentures in the event the Company sells or issues shares at a price less than the conversion price of the debentures.
The holders of the Debenture and Warrants have registration rights that require the Company to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the resale of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture or the exercise of the Warrants.

In connection with the Financing, on the same date, the Company issued warrants to investors that are exercisable for up to 4,833,333 shares of common stock of the Company with an exercise price of US$0.50 per share. The warrants are exercisable for a five-year period commencing on April 3, 2007. The Company also paid a placement fee of HK$1,131,000 (US$145,000) and issued warrants to the placement agents entitling the holders to purchase an aggregate of 483,333 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of US$0.315 per share in a warrant life of seven years.

Proceeds of the financing are used for working capital and for the further development of the Company’s proprietary technology.

On April 3, 2007, the Company received HK$9,555,000 (US$1,225,000), net of expenses in relation to issuance of the Debenture of HK$1,755,000 (US$225,000) after all the closing conditions were satisfied.

The debentures were discounted for the fair value of warrants, pursuant to APB 14 “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants”. The debentures were further discounted for the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature, pursuant to EITF 98-5 “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”. The discount is being amortized over the life of the debentures. For the period ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded HK$276,151 (US$35,404) as gain from change in warrant liability in the statement of operation.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview 

As Titanium Technology is a software development company, it earns revenues primarily through license sales of its products, which utilize the proprietary technology it develops.  Development of the technology requires a significant outlay of cash before a viable product is developed that utilizes the technology.  After development of a product, even more cash is required to market the product before any revenues are realized.  Accordingly, the challenge that faces many software development companies is being able to obtain enough cash to fund research and development and marketing expenses and sustain the company until revenues are generated.  Such funds are needed fairly quickly after products are developed, as the environment in which the products are used is constantly changing.  Companies face the risk of discovering that their products do not meet the needs of the potential customers or are technologically outdated after a marketing campaign is launched.  If that happens, the research and development costs are never recouped.

Titanium Technology has been able to generate revenues rather early in the company’s development, which have funded research and development expenses, as well as selling, general and administrative expenses.

While we have been able to develop proprietary products mainly based on proceeds from sales revenues and from subsidy income received from the Hong Kong government, we believe that external funding from investors can stimulate and accelerate product development and marketing for a number of reasons.  First, the company has now achieved a certain amount of recognition in the biometrics industry, especially in Hong Kong and the surrounding region.  It has also established several important marketing channels, most notably a sole distributor in Japan who brought along opportunities and major customers such as the NTT Group.  Second, there is increased awareness in the personal security area in which biometric technologies are some of the most commonly used applications.  We expect the global market size to grow due to concerns about identity theft and security.  Third, we have developed a technology within the past year that we believe can be utilized in a one-to-many application.  Based on this developed technology, management believes that the company should try to market its products and services in areas outside of Asia and compete in a larger market.

We raised net proceeds of US$517,425 (HK$4,035,915) through a private placement of securities during the third quarter of 2005.  These proceeds have been used to provide the funds necessary to implement the next step in our business plan, which was becoming a publicly-held company in the United States.  Our common stock commenced trading on the OTC Bulletin Board in July 2006 under the symbol “TTNUF.”  Funds were used for legal, accounting, and corporate consulting services and working capital.  We believe that by becoming a publicly-held company, we will enhance the visibility of our products and services and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

We obtained financing resulting in net proceeds of US$1,225,000 (HK$9,555,000) in April 2007.  These proceeds have been used for working capital and for the further development of our proprietary technology.

In September 2007, we set up a Hong Kong joint venture, Titanium RFID Limited, in which we hold a 51% interest.  This joint venture will engage in the development and marketing of radio frequency identification (RFID) solutions to complement our core biometric technology.

Critical Accounting Policies

           Revenue recognition.  We generate revenues principally from contracts for facial-based biometric identification and security projects, which typically include outside purchased workstations and live-scan devices, bundled with our proprietary software.  In all cases, the customers are granted a license to use the software in perpetuity so long as the software is installed on the hardware for which it was originally intended.  The contract price of our facial-based biometric identification and security projects generally includes twelve months of free post-contract customer support.  We also generate revenues from services performed under fixed-price and time-and-material agreements.  To a lesser extent, we also generate revenues from sales of our proprietary biometrics products and re-sales of products sourced from outside third parties.  We classify the revenues generated by these activities as either project products revenue, project services revenue, or maintenance services revenue.  Maintenance services are what the customer purchases if support and software upgrades are desired after the free twelve-month period.

We apply the provisions of Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions.”  For arrangements that require significant production, modification, or customization of software, we apply the provisions of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 45, “Long-Term Construction-Type Contracts,” and SOP 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts.”  We also consider the guidance of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF”) Topic 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” with respect to the recognition of revenue from the sale of hardware components (separate accounting units) of a multiple deliverable arrangement.  While these statements govern the basis for revenue recognition, significant judgment and the use of estimates are required in connection with the determination of the amount of product, maintenance and service revenue as well as the amount of deferred revenue to be recognized in each accounting period.  Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if actual results differ from management’s judgment or estimates.

PRODUCTS REVENUE.  The timing of product revenue recognition is dependent on the nature of the product sold.  Product arrangements comprising multiple deliverables including software, hardware, professional services, and maintenance are generally categorized into one of the following:
 
·  
Facial-based biometric identification and security projects that do not require significant modification or customization of our software:  Revenue associated with these arrangements, exclusive of amounts allocated to maintenance, for which we have vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”), is recognized upon installation and receipt of written acceptance of the project by the customer when required by the provisions of the contract, provided that all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met.  Revenue resulting from arrangements for which VSOE of the maintenance element does not exist is recognized ratably over the maintenance period.  To date, we have not made an allocation of contract revenue to separate accounting units since all of the products have been delivered simultaneously and no deferral of revenue would result.
 
·  
Facial-based biometric identification and security projects that require significant modification or customization of our software:  Revenue associated with these arrangements is recognized using the percentage of completion method as described by SOP 81-1.  The percentage of completion method reflects the portion of the anticipated contract revenue, excluding maintenance that has VSOE, which has been earned, equal to the ratio of labor effort expended to date to the anticipated final labor effort, based on current estimates of total labor effort necessary to complete the project.  Revenue resulting from arrangements for which VSOE of the
 
 
15

maintenance element does not exist is recognized ratably over the contractual maintenance period.
 
·  
Self-developed software products sales and re-sale of purchased third parties products:  Revenue associated with the sale of these products, excluding maintenance when applicable, is recognized upon shipment to the customer.  The amount of these revenues has historically not been significant.

SERVICES REVENUE.  Services revenue is primarily derived from computer engineering services, system design, consulting and integration and maintenance services that are not an element of an arrangement for the sale of products.  These services are generally billed on a time and materials basis.  The majority of our professional services are performed under time-and-materials arrangements.  Revenue from such services is recognized as the services are provided.

MAINTENANCE SERVICES REVENUE.  Maintenance revenue consists of fees for providing technical support and software updates, primarily to customers purchasing the primary products.  We recognize all maintenance revenue ratably over the applicable maintenance period.  We determine the amount of maintenance revenue to be deferred through reference to substantive maintenance renewal provisions contained in the arrangement.

INTEREST INCOME.  Interest income is recognized on a time apportionment basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.

REVENUE RECOGNITION CRITERIA.  We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the element has been delivered, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection of the resulting receivable is probable and VSOE of the fair value of any undelivered element exists.  A discussion about these revenue recognition criteria and their applicability to our transactions follows:
 
·  
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement: We use either contracts signed by both the customer and us or written purchase orders issued by the customer that legally bind us and the customer as evidence of an arrangement.
 
·  
Product delivery: We deem delivery to have occurred when the products are installed and, when required under the terms of the arrangement, when accepted by the customer.  Delivery of other re-sale products are recognized as revenue when products are shipped and title and risk of ownership has passed to the buyer.
 
·  
Fixed or determinable fee: We consider the fee to be fixed or determinable if the fee is not subject to refund or adjustment and the payment terms are within our normal established practices.  If the fee is not fixed or determinable, we recognize the revenue as amounts become due and payable.
 
·  
Collection is deemed probable: We conduct a credit review for all significant transactions at the time of the arrangement to determine the credit-worthiness of the customer.  Collection is deemed probable if we expect that the customer will pay amounts under the arrangement as payments become due.

SALES TO AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTORS.  We also use authorized distributors to sell certain of our products and only the authorized distributors are allowed to resell those products.  We require the authorized distributors to purchase the products and then sell through the authorized distributors’ own distribution channels to the end customers.  From our perspective, the authorized distributors are the ordinary customers and the only preferential treatment to them is that the sales prices to distributors have been predetermined in accordance with the distribution agreements, and are approximately 30% to 40% off the recommended retail prices.  Once the products are delivered and the distributor has accepted the
 
16

 
products, we bill the distributor and the distributor is obligated to settle the bill accordingly within the credit period granted.  There is no right of return or other incentives given to the distributors.  We are not required to provide training to authorized distributors.

Research and development costs.  Research costs are expensed as incurred.  The major components of these research and development costs are the labor cost.

Intangible assets/Software development costs.  Intangible assets consist primarily of capitalized software development costs.  We review software development costs incurred in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 86 “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed,” which requires that certain costs incurred in the development of computer software to be sold or leased be capitalized once technological feasibility is reached.  The purchased software license costs, patent costs, and the capitalized software development costs are amortized over an estimated economic life of five years, which is consistent with the expected life of these assets.

We received government funding which was offset to software-development costs incurred prior to the beginning of the capitalization period.  According to paragraph 73 of SOP 97-2, if capitalization of the software-development costs commences pursuant to SFAS No. 86, any income from the funding party under a funded software-development arrangement should be credited first to the development costs prior to capitalization.

Grant and subsidy income represents subsidy from the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“HKSAR”) for assisting us in the development of products of innovative nature.  The products developed under this subsidy plan include ProAccess and ProFacer.  Pursuant to the agreements made between us and HKSAR, HKSAR is required to provide funding to us for product development.  The funding is made available to us in accordance with the milestones as established by us and is subject to a ceiling of US$256,410 (HK$2,000,000).  We are not required to repay the Government grant, but we are required to contribute approximately 50% of the overall project cost in accordance with the grant agreement.  Also, upon completion of the project, we have to tender to the Government its pro rata share of the residual funds remaining in the project account.  In addition we are obligated to pay the Government a royalty fee of 5% on the gross revenue earned from any activities in connection with the project, up to an aggregate amount equal to the amount subsidized to us.  We may have to pay the Government 10% of the gross proceeds of our 2005 private placement as part of the royalty payment obligation.  We are entitled to retain ownership of the intellectual property resulting from the project.

Equity-based compensation.  We adopted SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” beginning at its inception.  Effective from January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123(R), which requires all share-based payments to employees and directors, including grants of employee stock options and restricted stock units, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values.  The valuation provisions of SFAS 123(R) apply to new awards, to awards granted to employees and directors before the adoption of SFAS 123(R) whose related requisite services had not been provided, and to awards which were subsequently modified or cancelled.

Under SFAS 123(R), we applied the Black-Scholes valuation model in determining the fair value of options granted to employees and directors.  Options are measured based on the fair market value of the underlying awards at the date of grant.  We recognize the relevant share-based compensation expenses on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

17

Under SFAS 123(R), the number of share-based awards for which the service is not expected to be rendered for the requisite period should be estimated, and the related compensation cost not recorded for that number of awards.

Foreign currency translation methodology.  Our functional currency is the Hong Kong dollar because the majority of our revenues, capital expenditures, and operating and borrowing costs are either denominated in Hong Kong dollars or linked to the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate.  Accordingly, transactions and balances not already measured in Hong Kong dollars, which are primarily transactions involving the United States dollar and the PRC Yuan, have been re-measured into Hong Kong dollars in accordance with the relevant provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation.”  The object of this re-measurement process is to produce largely the same results that would have been reported if the accounting records had been kept in Hong Kong dollars.  The exchange rate adopted throughout the consolidated financial statements where United States dollars are presented was US$1 for HK$7.8.

Cash, receivables, payable, and loans are considered monetary assets and liabilities and have been translated using the exchange rate as of the balance sheet dates.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities, including non-current assets and shareholders’ equity, are stated at their actual dollars cost or are restated from their historic cost, by applying the historical exchange rate as monthly average exchange rates to underlying transactions.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2007.  For the three months ended June 30, 2008, project revenues decreased by US$20,955 (HK$163,452) (5.7%) over the same period in 2007, mainly due to a slight decrease in project pricing owing to increased competition.

Our cost of projects revenue exceeded revenues due to materials we purchased for a Housing Authority project of approximately US$256,400 (HK$2,000,000) that cannot be billed to the client.  In contrast, the gross margin on projects as a percentage of project revenues was 60.6% for the 2007 quarter.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by US$185,135 (HK$1,444,053) (57.0%) in 2008 as compared to 2007 due mainly to reduction of professional expenses of US$29,447 (HK$229,683), reduction of promotion expenses of US$27,951 (HK$218,015), reduction of provision of doubtful debt of US$66,152 (HK$515,989).  Salaries decreased by US$31,339 (HK$244,441) due to the termination of temporary staffs on March 31, 2008.

Primarily as a result of the gross loss on projects, we incurred an increased operating loss in 2008 of US$281,471 (HK$2,195,487) as compared to an operating loss in 2007 of US$134,691 (HK$1,050,586), despite the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses.

We had other income in 2008 of US$104,678 (HK$816,490), due to sundry income of US$138,181 (HK$1,077,813), which mainly consists of the receipt of a refund for promotion expenses of US$104,103 (HK$812,000), which was paid in 2007, and a gain of US$34,079 (HK$265,813) due to disposal of fixed asset, which more than offset interest expense of US$31,148 (HK$242,956).  In contrast, we had other expense in 2007 of US$50,653 (HK$395,095), which consisted primarily of interest expense.

In summary, while we generated a gross loss in the quarter ended June 30, 2008, our net loss decreased by US$5,950 (HK$46,413) as compared to the 2007 quarter, due to the reduction in operating expenses and the receipt of other income.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2007.  For the six months ended June 30, 2008, project revenues increased by US$146,288 (HK$1,141,045) (21.2%) over the same period in 2007, mainly due to increased volume of business in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007.
 
Our gross profit on projects was less than 1% as our cost of projects revenue exceeded revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 as discussed above.  In contrast, the gross margin on projects as a percentage of project revenues was 49.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by US$81,427 (HK$635,130) (13.6%) in 2008 as compared to 2007 due to reduction of salary of US$18,761 (HK$146,334) and reduction of provision of doubtful debt of US$104,670 (HK$816,423), offset by increase in depreciation of US$31,801 (HK$248,049).

Primarily as a result of the decreased gross profit on projects, we incurred an increased operating loss in 2008 of US$497,338 (HK$3,879,229) as compared to an operating loss in 2007 of US$345,185 (HK$2,692,446), despite the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses.

We had other income in 2008 of US$121,367 (HK$946,662), due to sundry income of US$138,181 (HK$1,077,813), which mainly consists of the receipt of a refund for promotion expenses of US$104,103 (HK$812,000), which was paid in 2007, and a gain of US$34,079 (HK$265,813) due to disposal of asset.  We also had a gain from change in warrant liability of US$35,404 (HK$276,151) which more than offset interest expense of US$57,722 (HK$450,231).  In contrast, we had other expense in 2007 of US$52,408 (HK$408,779), which primarily consisted of interest expense.

In summary, while we generated only a small gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2008, our net loss decreased by US$13,738 (HK$107,156) as compared to the comparable 2007 period, due to the receipt of other income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2008.  At June 30, 2008, we had working capital of US$407,867 (HK$3,181,366), as compared to US$651,023 (HK$5,077,980) at December 31, 2007.  The decrease was due primarily to the operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  At June 30, 2008, we showed decreases in accounts receivable, net of US$1,009,884 (HK$7,877,093) and inventories of US$87,957 (HK$686,063), offset by a decrease in accounts payable of US$816,219 (HK$6,366,508).

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, our operating activities provided cash of US$329,612 (HK$2,570,973), as compared to US$752,404 (HK$5,868,748) used in 2007.  We also used US$303,286 (HK$2,365,634) for investing activities in 2008, which were primarily for capitalized software development costs, as compared to US$83,148 (HK$648,551) used in 2007, also primarily for capitalized software development costs.  Financing activities, which consisted primarily of an increase in bank overdraft, provided cash of US$14,380 (HK$112,168) in 2008.  In comparison, financing activities, consisting of proceeds from the sale of convertible debentures and an increase in bank overdraft, provided cash of US$1,141,654 (HK$8,904,899) in 2007.
 
At June 30, 2008, our bank overdraft was US$172,708 (HK$1,347,121).  We have a banking facilities arrangement with the bank where we maintain our checking account that allows us to overdraft our account up to US$256,410 (HK$2,000,000).  Our officers and directors have provided their personal guarantees up to that amount for the banking facilities arrangement.  Essentially this is a receivables revolving line of credit, as the borrowing base is based on a percentage of our eligible accounts

receivable.  The bank charges interest on the overdraft at the higher of 1.5% over the Hong Kong prime rate or 2% over the overnight HIBOR (Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate).  Generally, the overdraft situation does not exist for any significant length of time.  The consequences of not paying according to the terms of our agreement with the bank are the same as for any other secured loan.  The bank would be entitled to foreclose on the collateral and/or seek repayment from the guarantors.
 
In light of our working capital of US$407,867 (HK$3,181,366) at June 30, 2008, we believe that we have current and available capital resources sufficient to fund planned operations for the remainder of the current fiscal year.  Our current fixed overhead is approximately $32,051 (HK$250,000) per month, without giving any effect to any revenues that we generate.  Fixed overhead comprises salaries, office rent and maintenance, utilities, telephone, travel, office supplies, employee benefits, insurance and licenses, and professional fees.  We believe we will be able to fund the expenditures described above with our existing cash flow, based upon the signed contracts for orders that we have.  At June 30, 2008, our backlog of orders believed to be firm was approximately US$1,800,000 (HK$14,040,000), as compared to approximately US$2,000,000 (HK$15,600,000) at June 30, 2007.  We expect that approximately US$900,000 (HK$7,020,000) will not be filled within the current fiscal year.
