Historical Corporate Development


China Expert Technology, Inc. (hereinafter also referred to as the "Company") is a publicly traded company whose shares trade on the OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol “CXTI”.  


The Company was first incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 18, 1990 as QQQ- Huntor Associates, Inc.  On July 21, 1995, the Company changed its domicile to the State of Texas and merged into Unimex Transnational Consultants, Inc, a Texas corporation.  On April 26, 1996, the Company reorganized and acquired all the issued and outstanding stock of Dakota Mining & Exploration Ltd. ("Dakota") for 10,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, and changed the name of the Company to Canadian Northern Lites, Inc. As a result of the transaction in which the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Dakota, Dakota became a legal subsidiary of the Company. 


In August, 1999, the Company voluntarily filed a registration statement on Form 10-SB, in order to make information concerning itself more readily available to the public by becoming subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  As a result of filing its registration statement, the Company is obligated to file with the Commission certain interim and periodic reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including an annual report containing audited financial statements.


On July 10, 2000 the Company merged with a Nevada corporation, Leopard Capital Inc., and became a Nevada corporation with the new name of Leopard Capital Inc.


On December 1, 2000, the Company spun-off Dakota, its wholly owned legal subsidiary, by distributing the shares of Dakota on a pro-rata basis to the shareholders of the Company. This reorganization was undertaken to address the concern over the Company's ability to survive as a



3






mining company because of declining commodity prices, disappearance of investment capital for undercapitalized exploration companies, and potential environmental liabilities.  As a result of this spin-off, the Company no longer has a subsidiary or any other assets as of December 31, 2003. 


On January 4, 2001, 1,600,000 non-voting common shares of the Company were converted to voting common shares making the Company a subsidiary of Hudson Capital Corporation.


On February 9, 2004, the Company completed a share exchange with the stockholders of China Expert Network Company Limited, ("China Expert"), a Hong Kong corporation. In the exchange, the Company acquired 30,000,000 shares of China Expert common stock from the shareholders of China Expert, representing all of the issued and outstanding stock of China Expert in exchange for the issuance of 19,935,000 shares of its common stock.  In conjunction with the exchange, the Company also issued a total of 1,400,000 additional shares to various persons, including a Director of the Company, as compensation for services.  On April 12, 2004, following completion of the share exchange transaction, the Company changed its name to China Expert Technology, Inc.


China Expert is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the shares of China Expert common stock represent the Company's most significant asset. The Company expects to continue, and expand, the existing business operations of China Expert as our wholly owned subsidiary. The Company, through China Expert and China Expert's wholly owned subsidiary, Expert Network (Shenzhen) Co. (“ENS”) Ltd., provides large-scale e-government infrastructure construction and consulting services for community and municipal governments in the People's Republic of China (PRC).


On December 28, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with one of the Consultants for the termination of the Consulting Agreement and the surrender of 550,000 shares of the Company’s common stock previously granted to that Consultant and such shares were canceled in December 2004.


The Company's principal office is located at Room 2703-04, Great Eagle Centre, 23 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong. The telephone number is 852-2802-1555. As of December 31, 2004, the website of the Company is http://tech.chinaexpertnet.com.


The Company's authorized capital includes 200,000,000 shares of common stock with $0.001 par value. As of the close of the Company's latest fiscal year, December 31, 2004, there were 24,414,679 shares of common stock outstanding.


Business Overview


(1)

Large-Scale E-Government Construction and Maintenance


The Company has ended its development stage and is now engaging in the provision of information technology (IT) network and infrastructure consulting services to government and corporations that are involved with creating electronic governments, also known as e-governments.  It also provides large-scale network infrastructure construction with solutions for enterprise information platform construction, public LAN construction, software development, website planning and development, workflow management and computer hosting services.  The Company is the only private enterprise with the authority to provide technological achievement appraisal services for IT companies in China.


The Company conducts its principal business operation through its subsidiary ENS which is based in Shenzhen and Fujian, the PRC.  Since its establishment, ENS has obtained three



4






contracts with three city governments in the Fujian province of the PRC for the provision of large-scale e-government infrastructure construction and consulting services.  Particulars of the contracts are as follows:-


Name of City Government

Commencement Date

Completion Date*

Contract Sum US$

Jinjiang

April 2003

January 2005

Approx. 22 million

Dehua

April 2004

August 2006

Approx. 18 million

Nan’an

March 2005

March 2007

Approx. 14.5 million


*The Completion Date refers to completion of the construction of the e-government system. One year maintenance to the e-government system is included in each contract.


Pursuant to these contracts, ENS provides website planning and development, workflow management, computer host services, public LAN construction, software development, hardware platform and installation, security system construction and 1 year maintenance to the customers.  The e-government construction for Jinjiang City Government has been completed in January 2005 and the maintenance period will end on January 2006.


In January 2005, the Company was awarded a 3-year maintenance contract for the e-government system of Jinjiang City Government worth approximately $3.9 million for the period of February 1, 2006 to January 31, 2009.


The Fujian Provincial Government has selected the e-government system of the Jinjiang City Government as a model e-government system for 82 cities in the Fujian province.  


(2)

Information and Electronic Administration Training to Chinese Officials


In November 2004, the Company, through ENS, provided a series of Information and Electronic administration training programs and materials to 500 officials of Jinjiang City Government. In November 2004, the Ministry of Information Industry of the PRC Government has selected the training as a national model for Information and Electronic Administration Training in China.


In February 2005, the Company has been awarded a contract worth approximately $1.8 million for the provision of Information and Electronic administration training and program and materials to 3,500 officials of Jinjiang City Government.


Employees


The Company’s business expanded significantly in 2004.  In order to meet our operational needs, we had a maximum of up to approximately 100 employees during part of 2004.  As of December 31, 2004, we had approximately 50 employees, all of which are full time.


Competition


There is competition from other public and private companies to capture the e-government market in China.  Some of the companies with which the Company competes have wider operations and more financial strength than the Company.  These competitors provide construction and consulting services relating to e-government systems for government departments in China while the Company provides services for e-government systems of municipality governments which is a new model for e-government implementation in China.  We believe our ability to compete in this industry is based on several factors, including the following:




5






(a)

The successful completion of the e-government project for Jinjiang City Government which has been selected by the Fujian Provincial Government as model e-government system for 82 cities in Fujian province.  


(b)

Success in providing information and electronic administration training for Jinjiang City officials which has been selected by the Ministry of the Information Industry as 1 of the 4 model locations for the whole nation.


(c)

The award as the only non-government corporation with the authority to provide technological achievement appraisal services for IT companies seeking government funding in China.


(d)

400 experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering being the consultants of the Company who are available to provide consulting services to the Company and the Company’s clients.


Risks Related to Business and Industry


Technology Risks:  Our services and technologies must keep pace with advances in the industry and may be replaced by other competitors.  Our future growth partially depends on our ability to provide services that are more effective in meeting customer needs or that incorporate the latest technologies.  In addition, we must be able to effectively market our services.  As such, if we fail to make sufficient investments in research, pay close attention to consumer needs or we focus on technologies that do not lead to more effective products and services, our current and future products and services could be surpassed by more effective or advanced products and services of others.


Financial Risks:  The Company has achieved a significant growth for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2003.  This short history of growth and profitability may not be adequate to fully assess our ability to achieve market acceptance of our services or our ability to respond to competition and continue this level of performances.  Long-term sustainable levels of growth and profitability level have not been determined.  The Company may not be able to achieve such profitability in a long run.  If we are unsuccessfully addressing the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered in a new and evolving e-government market in China, our business will be seriously harmed.


Operation and Key Personnel Risks:  The Company may face various operational risks that may cause an increase in costs.  The Company faces risks due to our heavy reliance on the supply of IT technicians in China.  As of December 31, 2004, the Company’s continued success is largely dependent upon the efforts of the executive officers and IT technicians. The loss or unavailability of any such person could have an adverse effect on the Company, its operation and future prospects.  The continued existence and success of the Company is dependant upon its ability to attract and retain qualified employee in all areas of its business, especially IT technicians.   


Risks related to common stock:  The liquidity of the Company’s common stock is affected by its limited trading market.  There is currently no broadly followed established trading market.  The absence of an active trading market reduces the liquidity of shares.  The trading volume of the common stock historically has been limited and sporadic.  As a result of this trading activity, the quoted price for the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board may not be able to truly reflect a fair market value.

Intellectual Property


The Company believes that its business is dependent in part on our ability to establish and maintain protection for our proprietary technologies, products and processes, and the preservation of our trade secrets.


In constructing the e-government systems for our customers, the Company designed several platforms and software programs and retains the copyrights thereof.  The Company currently has not applied for and does not hold any patents or copyright registrations relating to any of our products and services but will apply for registration to protect its proprietary rights in due course.


We have registered one trademark in the PRC and Hong Kong for our company logo. The registered trademark is significant to us because we believe it will provide us with name and market recognition for our products and services and distinguish the same from our competitors' products.


Government Approval for Company’s Products or Services


The market of the Company is presently in the PRC.  Generally speaking, there is no legislation or regulation which requires the Company to obtain government approval for the provision of the consultation and construction services relating to e-government system in the PRC.


The Company’s customers are presently city governments in the PRC.  When the Company submits tender for an e-government contract, the Company needs to submit a feasibility report for that particular city government for assessments and approval.  


Research and Development


The Company currently does not carry out any research and development activities but it plans to do so in 2005.  We intend to devote in the future, a portion of our resources to research and development programs.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.


Certain statements in this report, including statements in the following discussion which are not statements of historical fact, are what are known as "forward looking statements," which are basically statements about the future. For that reason, these statements involve risk and uncertainty since no one can accurately predict the future. Words such as "plans," "intends," "will," "hopes," "seeks," "anticipates," "expects" and the like often identify such forward looking statements, but are not the only indication that a statement is a forward-looking statement. Such



9






forward looking statements include statements concerning our plans and objectives with respect to the present and future operations of the Company, and statements which express or imply that such present and future operations will or may produce revenues, income or profits. Numerous factors and future events could cause the Company to change such plans and objectives or fail to successfully implement such plans or achieve such objectives, or cause such present and future operations to fail to produce revenues, income or profits. Therefore, the reader is advised that the following discussion should be considered in light of the discussion of risks and other factors contained in this report on Form 10KSB and in the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. No statements contained in the following discussion should be construed as a guarantee or assurance of future performance or future results.


Overview


For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, the Company was profitable and had a positive cash flow.   Through June 30, 2004, the Company had a deficit accumulated in the development stage.  It reached profitability during 2004 by operating an e-government project for Jinjiang City Government in the Fujian province, China, which has been completed in January 2005.  


In addition, the Company has obtained two e-government projects for two city governments in Fujian province, amounting to approximately $18,249,000 and $14,551,000 respectively. One of the contracts is currently at the development stage and the other has just commenced in March 2005.  The Company believes that these two projects will generate sufficient revenue and cash flows to enable the Company to continue as a going concern.


Since the Company does not receive any down payment for these projects, the cash in hands will be applied towards the operation of these projects until the Company achieves the 1st milestone in 6 to 9 months after commencement of each contract and receives its first payment within 30 to 60 days thereafter.  As the Company plans to seek to capture a substantial portion of the e-government market in China as soon as possible, the Company may experience increased capital needs and may not have enough capital to fund other future operations without additional capital investments. Our capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including (1) our profitability; (2) the reduction of the service price of our competitor; and (3) the amount of our capital expenditures.  The Company reasonably foresees that it will obtain two e-government contracts for approximately $30 millions in total in 2005 and will therefore need to raise about $10 million for the working capital for these new e-government projects.  The Company will raise funds either in the form of an advance or an equity investment by outside investors, or some combination of each.


The Company’s need for capital to commence new e-government projects may have an impact on its short-term liquidity during 2005.


As of December 31, 2004, management is focused on the immediate task of improving the Company's ability to capture the e-government market in China and to continue to provide income stability.   


The Company anticipates, based on internal forecasts and assumptions, that it will obtain 2new contracts in 2005, with estimated contract prices totaling approximately $30 million. Based on that assumption, management is projecting approximately 15% growth on its revenues and profits for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.


Results of Operations


The Company's financial statements are stated in U.S. Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States GAAP.

COST OF REVENUE:  Cost of revenue was $14,469,900 for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to $2,706,174 for the year ended December 31, 2003 as a result of increased costs associated with higher revenues.

As a percentage of revenues, gross profit decreased to 46.08% for the year ended December 31, 2004 from 52.25% for the year ended December 31, 2003.


OTHER INCOME:  Other income was $2,872 for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in income received from providing achievement appraisal services to IT companies in China.  As a percentage of revenues, other income increased to 0.01% for the year ended December 31, 2004 from 0% for the year ended December 31, 2003.

This increase is attributable to increase in the PRC enterprise income tax as a result of a substantial increase in the revenue.



11







NET INCOME:  Net income was $7,766,841 for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to $1,210,413 for the year ended December 31, 2003.  This increase is attributable to the reasons set forth above.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of December 31, 2004, the Company had $3,265,318 of cash and cash equivalents and $14,606,928 of current assets, as compared to $47,223 and $1,429,899, respectively, at December 31, 2003.


For the year ended December 31, 2004, net cash provided by operating activities was $6,254,807, net cash used in investing activities was $5,233 and net cash used in financing activities was $3,031,479.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $17,899 to $5,233 for the year ended December 31, 2004, representing a decrease of approximately 342.04%, compared to $12,666 net cash provided by investing activities for the same period of 2003.  The decrease in net cash provided by investing activities was due to decrease of proceeds receivable from disposal of property and equipments and increase of purchase of property and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2004.  


Net cash used in financing activities increased by $1,084,981 to $3,031,479 for the year ended December 31, 2004, representing an increase of approximately 55.74%, compared to $1,946,498 net cash used in financing activities for the same period of 2003.  The increase in cash used in financing was primarily due to increase of advances to directors and officers.  


Management Assumptions


The Company anticipates, based on internal forecasts relating to our projects, that existing cash and funds generated from the existing projects will be sufficient to meet working capital and capital expenditure requirements for all our existing projects for the next 12 months.  In the event that the Company signs up new contracts, the Company could be required to seek additional financing.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to it, or at all.


Effect of Inflation


The Company's results of operations have not been affected by inflation and management does not expect that inflation risk would cause material impact on its operations in the future.







12









Effect of Fluctuation in Foreign Exchange Rates


Our operating subsidiary is located in China.  The subsidiary buys all materials in China and receives payments from customers in China using Chinese Renminbi as the functional currency.  Based on Chinese government regulation, all foreign currencies under the category of current accounts are allowed to be freely exchanged with hard currencies.  During the past years of operation, there were no significant changes in exchange rates; however, unforeseen developments may cause a significant change in exchange rates.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

China Expert Technology, Inc.



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Expert Technology, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of China Expert Technology, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY


The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 18, 1990.


Following a reverse takeover transaction as detailed in note 2, the Company has ended its development stage and is now engaging in the provision of system integration services, consultancy services and agency services through its subsidiaries, China Expert Network Company Limited (“CEN”), Expert Network (Shenzhen) Limited (“ENS”) and Hong Zhong Holdings Limited (“HZH”).  CEN is a Hong Kong incorporated company; ENS is a limited liability company established in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and HZH is a limited liability company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. ENS and HZH are wholly owned by CEN.


On February 18, 2004, the Company entered into consulting agreements (the “Consulting Agreements”) with several consultants (the “Consultants”) for the provision of corporate finance and reporting, information technology process improvement and technology support services to the Company. The terms of these Consulting Agreements commence on February 18, 2004 and end on February 17, 2009. In consideration of the consulting services provided, the Company issued in aggregate 1,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Consultants (Note 14(i)).


On February 26, 2004, the Company entered into a strategic services agreement (the “Strategic Services Agreement”) with a corporate consultant for the sourcing of e-government contracts to the Company in the Fujian Province in the PRC.  In consideration of the sourcing services provided, the Company agreed to pay commission at 15% of the gross income of the contracts obtained by the Company.  During the year, the Company issued 1,101,205 shares of the Company’s common stock to the corporate consultant as a commission for the contracts obtained (Note 14(ii)).


On April 12, 2004, the name of the Company was changed from Leopard Capital, Inc. to China Expert Technology, Inc. (“CXTI”).


One of the Consultants did not provide services in accordance with the aforesaid consulting agreement.  Accordingly, on December 28, 2004, the Company and this consultant entered into an agreement for the termination of the aforesaid consulting agreement and the surrender of 550,000 of the Company’s common stock previously granted to him.  Such common stock were canceled (Note 14(iii)).

BASIS OF PREPARATION


The accompanying consolidated financial statements of CXTI and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.


On February 9, 2004, CXTI completed a share exchange with the stakeholders of CEN (“the Exchange”). In the Exchange, CXTI acquired 30,000,000 shares representing all the issued and outstanding common stock of CEN from the stakeholders of CEN (“the Shareholders”) in exchange for the issuance of 19,935,000 shares of common stock of CXTI to the Shareholders. In conjunction with the Exchange, CXTI also issued a total of 1,400,000 additional shares to various persons as compensation for their services provided, including a former director of CXTI.


The Exchange resulted in a change of control of CXTI. Upon completion of the Exchange and the related share issuance, CXTI has a total of 22,063,474 shares issued and outstanding, of which 19,935,000 or approximately 90.35% are owned by the Shareholders. As the Exchange resulted in the former stakeholders of CEN owning greater than 50% of the common stock of CXTI, the Exchange has been treated as a reverse takeover with CEN as the accounting acquirer (legal subsidiary) and CXTI as the accounting acquiree (legal parent).


Accordingly, the purchase method under reverse takeover accounting has been applied except that no goodwill is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet.  It means that :-


(a)

The consolidated financial statements are issued under the name of legal parent, CXTI, but are a continuation of the financial statements of CEN. The comparative figures are those of CEN.


(b)

CEN is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes and as such, its assets and liabilities are included in the consolidated financial statements at their historical carrying values.


(c)

The common stock and accumulated deficit of CXTI up to the date of the Exchange are eliminated.


(d)

The capital structure of the Company is that of CXTI, but the dollar amount of the issued share capital in the consolidated balance sheet is that of CEN immediately prior to the Exchange plus the value of shares issued by CXTI to acquire CEN and to compensate the service providers.


(e)

The value of shares issued by CXTI is determined to be their par value as CXTI had net liabilities at the date of the Exchange.


(f)

The par value of CXTI common stock and the net liabilities of CXTI at the date of the Exchange are written off to the consolidated statement of operations.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Principles of consolidation


The consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 are presented in U.S. dollars (“USD”) and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.  All significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.


Use of estimates


The preparation of the 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 and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year.  Significant estimates required to be made by management include the recoverability of long lived assets and recognition of revenue under long term contracts.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Cash and cash equivalents


Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments and have maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.


Property and Equipment


Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Maintenance, repairs and betterments, including replacement of minor items, are charged to expense; major additions to physical properties are capitalized.  Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives at the following annual rates:-


Furniture, fixtures and office equipment

20%

Computer equipment and software

30%

Motor vehicles

30%

Leasehold improvements

the shorter of 30% or lease term


Intangible assets


Intangible assets represent information database purchased.  Cost relating to the setting up of information databases via purchases of data or information are capitalized and stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment losses.  The costs of information database are amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life of five years.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)


Prepaid expenses


Prepaid expenses represent the aggregate fair value of the Company’s common stock issued in return for the consultancy works provided by certain consultants to the Company.  The fair value is determined by reference to the average price of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) at the date of issuance.  The prepaid expenses are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the consulting agreements of five years.


Impairment of long-lived assets


The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management’s judgment, that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.


The impairment of long-lived assets is measured pursuant to the guidelines of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.  When an indicator of impairment has occurred, management’s estimate of undiscounted cash flows attributable to the assets is compared to the carrying value of the assets to determine whether impairment has occurred.  If an impairment of the carrying value has occurred, the amount of the impairment recognized in the financial statements is determined by estimating the fair value of the assets and recording a loss of the amount that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value.


Income taxes


The Company accounts for income tax under the provisions of SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of the events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Deferred income taxes are recognised for all significant temporary differences between tax and financial statements bases of assets and liabilities.  Valuation allowances are established against net deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)


Revenue recognition


Revenue from fixed price long-term contracts is recognized on the percentage of completion method for individual contracts.  Revenues are recognized in the ratio that costs incurred bear to total estimated contract costs.  The use of the percentage of completion method of revenue recognition requires estimates of percentage of project completion.  Changes in job performance, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income in the year in which the revisions are determined.  Provisions for any estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the year in which such losses are determinable.  In instances when the work performed on fixed price agreements is of relatively short duration, we use the completed contract method of accounting, whereby revenue is recognized when the work is completed, is used.


Cost of Revenue


Cost of revenue comprises labor and other cost of personnel directly engaged in providing the services, subcontracting and attributable overhead costs.  Cost of revenue does not include any allocation of depreciation or amortization expense.


Concentration of credit risk


Concentration of credit risk is limited to accounts receivable and is subject to the financial conditions of major customer.  The Company does not require collateral or other security to support client’s receivables.  The Company conducts periodic reviews of its clients’ financial condition and customer payment practices to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.


Fair value of financial instruments


The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, related parties receivable and related parties payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)


Foreign Currency Translation


The Group uses China Renminbi (“RMB”) as the functional currency, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies.  Transactions denominated in currencies other than RMB are translated into RMB at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions, quoted by the People’s Bank of China (the “PBOC”).  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies are translated into RMB at rates of exchange quoted by the PBOC prevailing at the balance sheet date.  Exchange gains or losses arising from changes in exchange rates subsequent to the transactions dates for monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies are included in the determination of net income for the respective period.


For financial reporting purposes, RMB has been translated into United States dollars (“USD”) as the reporting currency.  Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at period end.  Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period.  Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income - foreign currency translation adjustments”.  Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other comprehensive income/(loss).  Foreign currency translation adjustment was not material.


During 2004 and 2003, there have been no significant changes in exchange rates.  Accordingly, there are no changes in other comprehensive income/ (loss).


New accounting pronouncements


(i)

The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (“SFAS 150”) was issued in May 2003.  This statement affects the classification, measurement and disclosure requirements of the following three types of freestanding financial instruments:-


1)

mandatory redeemable shares, which the issuing company is obligated to buy back with cash or other assets;


2)

instruments that do or may require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other assets, which include put options and forward purchase contracts; and


3)

obligations that can be settled with shares, the monetary value of which is fixed, tied solely or predominantly to a variable such as a market index, or varies inversely with the value of the issuers’ shares.

In general, SFAS 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.  The adoption of this statement had no impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.


(ii)

           Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”)” (“FIN 46”), was issued in January 2003.  FIN 46 requires that if an entity is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the variable interest entity should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the entity.  The provisions of FIN 46 are effective immediately for all arrangements entered into after January 31, 2003.


In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) completed deliberations on proposed modifications to FIN 46 and re-issued FIN 46 (“Revised Interpretation”) resulting in multiple effective dates based on the nature as well as the creation date of the VIE. VIEs created after January 31, 2003 but prior to January 1, 2004 may be accounted for either based on the original interpretation or the Revised Interpretation.  The adoption of these interpretations had no impact on the Company’s results of operation or financial position.


(iii)

SFAS 132 (revised 2003), “Employer’s Disclosure about Pensions and Other Post-Retirement Benefits” was issued in December 2003.  SFAS 132 (revised) revised employer’s disclosure about pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans.  SFAS 132 (revised) requires additional disclosures in annual financial statements about the types of plan assets, investment strategy, measurement dates, plan obligations, cash flows, and components of net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans.  The annual disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2003. SFAS 132 (revised) also requires interim disclosure of the elements of net periodic benefit cost and the total amount of contributions paid or expected to be paid during the current fiscal year if significantly different from amounts previously disclosed.  The interim disclosure requirements of SFAS 132 (revised) are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003.  The adoption of this statement had no impact on the Company’s results of operation or financial position.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)


New accounting pronouncements (Cont’d)


In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” This Standard addresses the accounting for transactions in which a company receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the company or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the company’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. This Standard eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Standard is effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this Standard on its results of operations and financial position.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE


During the period of January 1 to December 31, 2004, the Company has had no disagreements with its principal independent accountants.



ITEM 8A.

 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term disclosure controls and procedures to mean a company's controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC's rules and forms.


Based on an evaluation performed, the Company's certifying officers have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2004, to provide reasonable assurance of the achievement of these objectives.


On November 16, 2004, the Company appointed Ms. Chiang Min Liang as its new principal financial officer or CFO.  The Company’s Board made the decision to appoint a new CFO in order to have a more experienced person in that position, determined that Ms. Chiang Min Liang was well suited to the position because of her qualification and previous work experience.  The Company’s previous CFO, Mr. Cheung Ming Jeff, has continued his employment with the Company as the chief accountant.  The change of the CFO over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2004, has not materially affected, or is reasonably unlikely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
