ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

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 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, (“CEN”), a Hong Kong corporation. In the exchange, the Company acquired 30,000,000 shares of CEN common stock from the shareholders of CEN, representing all of the issued and outstanding stock of CEN 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 as compensation for services.  The Company was no longer a subsidiary of Hudson Capital Corporation after the share exchange.

1


 

On April 12, 2004, following completion of the share exchange transaction, the Company changed its name to China Expert Technology, Inc.

CEN is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the shares of CEN common stock represent the Company’s most significant asset. The Company expects to continue, and expand, the existing business operations of CEN as our wholly owned subsidiary. The Company, through CEN and CEN’s wholly owned subsidiary, Expert Network (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd. (“ENS”), 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 cancelled in December 2004.

On August 9, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement for cancellation of shares with a registered and beneficial owner of shares (the “Beneficial Owner”) because a disagreement had risen between the Company and the Beneficial Owner regarding certain matters related to the closing of the share exchange agreement under the terms of the Agreement for Share Exchange. The surrender of 1,877,863 shares of the Company granted to him was cancelled.

On October 31, 2005, the Company completed the closing under a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated October 21, 2005 that it entered with the Purchasers of $6,000,000 in face amount of the Company’s 7% Secured Convertible Debenture (the “Debentures”). The Debentures are due and payable in full one year from the date of issuance, and require quarterly payment of interest payable in cash or stock (subject to certain conditions at the option of the Company). At any time from the date of issuance until the maturity date of the Debentures, Purchasers have the right to convert the full face amount of the Debentures to common stock of the Company at a price equal to 75% of the average of the volume weighted average prices of the Company’s common stock for the 5 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion. In no event will the conversion price be greater than $1.80 per share.

In connection with the Agreement, the Company issued 3 types of warrants to the Purchasers (collectively “the Warrants”):

Short Term Warrants to purchase up to 3,921,569 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $1.53 per share. The Short Term Warrants are exercisable for a period of equal to the earlier of 18 months from the effective date of the registration statement or five years from their issuance date.

Long Term Warrants to purchase up to 1,960,784 shares of our common stock at a price of $3.06 per share. The Long Term Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years following their issuance.

The Platinum Warrants.  In addition, on October 31, 2005, the Company issued to Platinum Partners Advisors, LLC, one of the Purchasers, the right to purchase up to 392,156 shares of common stock at a price of $1.53 per share and the rights to purchase up to 196,078 shares at a price of $3.06 per share. The warrant for the right to purchase up to 392,156 shares is exercisable for a period equal to the earlier of 18 months from the effective date of the registration statement or five years from the date of issuance. The warrant for the right to purchase up to 196,078 shares is exercisable for a period of five years following the date of issuance. The Platinum Warrants are issued to Platinum Partners Advisors, LLC for legal, due diligence and other expenses as the lead investor as set forth in the Agreement.

On November 7, 2005, the Company issued a total of 2,309,269 shares of its common stock to the holders of the Company’s Secured Convertible Debentures following exercise of their election to convert a total of $1,601,561 in principal amount of Debentures to shares of common stock.

On December 29, 2005, the Company voluntarily filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 registering the sale of up to 16,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Debentures and Warrants that the Purchasers may convert and sell.

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, 2005, 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, 2005, there were 25,902,996 shares of common stock outstanding.

Business Overview

In January 2006, the Company was awarded a $35 million contract to implement an e-government system for Licheng city government in the Fujian province. This project will be commenced in November 2006 and will last for 3 years.

In February 2006, the Company was awarded two e-government contracts respectively worth $679,000 and $664,000 for Jinjiang City and Dehua City Fujian to contract their First Phrase Unified Command System. The Unified Command System is aimed to link up the Police Department, Fire Department and Road Traffic Department respectively for these two cities. Under the contracts, the Company will be responsible to provide system planning, hardware platform setting, software development and system installation. The Jinjiang project has been commenced in December 2005 and will be completed in March 2006. The Dehua project will be commenced in March 2006 and completed in July 2006.

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 February 2005, the Company was 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. The Training is expected to be commenced in April 2006 and will last for a period of about 2 years.

Employees

As of March 24, 2006, we had a total of 57 employees, including 26 permanent staff and 31 contract staff, 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:

(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 first 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.

RISK FACTORS

We are subject to various risks that may materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.  You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this filing before deciding to purchase our common stock.  If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed.  In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Risk Related To Our Business

Our Success Will Depend On Public Acceptance Of E-government Market In China, And The Lack of Public Acceptance Could Negatively Affect Our Business

Our current customers are mainly municipality governments in China, for which we provide large scale e-government construction and maintenance, as well as information technology training for city officials.  Contracts with the municipality governments account for approximately 100% of our revenues.  We cannot be certain that a viable e-government market for these information technology and training services will be sustainable in the future.  If this market is not sustained in China and we are unable to refocus our services on the private sector market or other in-demand technologies, our growth would be negatively affected.  Although municipality governments in China have recently increased focus on and funding for technology initiatives, we cannot be certain that these initiatives will continue in the future. Budget cutbacks or political changes could result in a change of focus or reductions in funding for technology initiatives, which could force us to curtail or cease our business operations.  If there is a lack of acceptance or slow growth of the e-government market in China, the number of our clients and our revenues will be adversely affected.  Our future results of operations will depend substantially upon the increased acceptance for e-government services in China and we could be forced to curtail or cease our business operations.

Our Customers Are City Governments in China, And These Customers May Be Able To Cancel, Reduce Or Delay Their Orders, Which Would Adversely Affect Our Revenue

When we submit a tender for an e-government contract with municipality governments, we must also submit a feasibility report for that particular city government for its assessments and approval. Generally, our customers may cancel, reduce or delay orders and commitments in their sole discretion and in certain circumstances without penalty. Significant or numerous cancellations, reductions or delays in orders by our clients, or any inability to pay for our services could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. If problems with payments occur in the future, our revenues will significantly decrease and this may force us to curtail or cease our business operations.

We May Not Be Able To Maintain Our Technological Expertise, Which Would Adversely Impact Our Business

The markets for our information technology services are characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving process development. The continued success of our business will depend upon our ability to:

maintain and enhance our technological capabilities;

develop and market e-government services which meet changing customer needs; and

successfully anticipate or respond to technological changes in e-government processes on a cost-effective and timely basis.

We cannot be certain that we will develop capabilities required by our customers in the future. Also, the emergence of new technologies, industry standards or customer requirements may render our equipment, inventory or processes obsolete or noncompetitive. In addition, we may have to acquire new testing technologies and equipment and train personnel to remain competitive. The acquisition and implementation of new technologies and equipment and training of new personnel may require significant expense or capital investment. Our failure to anticipate and adapt to our customers’ changing technological needs and requirements would harm our ability to attract new customers and maintain existing customers.  Our inability to maintain and expand our customer base could force us to curtail or cease our business operations.

5


 

We Have An Unproven Business Model And A Short Operating History, Which Makes It Difficult To Evaluate Our Current Business And Future Prospects And Cause Our Revenues To Decline

We have only a limited operating history in China upon which to base an evaluation of our current business and future prospects and we have yet to receive widespread acceptance of our services.  We started our current business in China in 2003.  Our limited operating history and the overall economic environment in China make an evaluation of our business and prospects very difficult. We encounter certain risks and difficulties including, but are not limited to, the following:

our new and unproven business model and technology;

the difficulties we face in managing rapid growth in personnel and operations;

the response by our customers, which are city governments, and strategic partners to our products and services;

the timing and success of new product and service introductions and new technologies by our competitors; and,

our ability to build awareness and receive recognition in the information technology market in China.

We may not be able to successfully address any of these risks.  Failure to adequately do so could seriously impair our ability to operate, cause our revenues to decline and force us to curtail or cease our business operations.

We Could Lose Revenues And Clients And Expose Our Company To Liability If We Fail To Meet Client Expectations

We create, implement and maintain information technology and e-governments services that are often critical to our clients’ operations.  If our technology and e-government solutions or other applications have significant defects or errors or fail to meet our clients’ expectations, we may:

Lose revenues due to adverse client reaction or inability to obtain other clients;

Be required to provide additional remediation services to a client at no charge;

Receive negative publicity, which could damage our reputation and adversely affect our ability to attract or retain clients; or

Suffer claims for substantial damages against us, regardless of our responsibility for the failure.

The negative publicity, inability to retain clients and the successful assertion of any large claim against us could force us to curtail or cease our business operations.   

We May Incur Significant Operating Losses In The Future, Which May Force Us to Cease Operations Or Significantly Curtail Our Business

Our success to generate revenues depends on numerous factors, including the ability to service our clients, provide needed information technology services and products, collect revenues from our clients, general acceptance of our e-government services in China and to develop new market among the various city governments in China.  However, developing new market and getting new e-government contracts will lead to more expenses, being incurred as we have to, among other things:

6


 

hire additional personnel, including marketing personnel, engineers and other technical staff;

hire senior executives and members of our senior management team;

expand our selling and marketing activities;

expand our product and service offerings;

expand the number of locations in China where we conduct business;

upgrade our operational and financial systems, procedures and controls.

If our revenue does not grow to offset these expected increased expenses, we will not be profitable.  Furthermore, if our operating expenses exceed our expectations, or if we encounter difficulties in collecting the revenue from our customers, our financial performance will be adversely affected and we could be forced to curtail or cease our business operations.

The Chinese Government Could Change Its Policies Toward Private Enterprise Or Even Nationalize Or Expropriate It, Which Could Result In The Total Loss Of Our Investment

Our business is subject to significant political and economic uncertainties and may be adversely affected by political, economic and social developments in China. Over the past several years, the Chinese government has pursued economic reform policies including the encouragement of private economic activity and greater economic decentralization. The Chinese government may not continue to pursue these policies or may significantly alter them to our detriment from time to time with little, if any, prior notice.

Changes in China’s policies, laws and regulations or in its interpretation or its imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, restrictions or prohibitions on dividend payments to stockholders, devaluations of currency or the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises could have a material adverse effect on our business. Nationalization or expropriation could even result in the total loss of our investment in China and could force us to curtail or cease our business operations.

If Relations Between The United States And China Worsen, Our Stock Price May Decrease And We May Have Difficulty Accessing U.S. Capital Markets

At various times during recent years, the United States and China have had significant disagreements over political and economic issues and controversies may arise in the future between these two countries.  Any political or trade controversies between the United States and China, whether or not directly related to our business, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to access U.S. capital markets.  If we experience difficulty in obtaining additional financing, we could be forced to curtail or cease our business operations.

The Overall Economic, Political And Social Conditions In China, As Well As Government Policies Could Affect Our Business

All of our business, assets and operations are located in China. The economy of China differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including in the areas of government involvement; level of development; growth rate; control of foreign exchange; and allocation of resources.

The economy of China has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. Although in recent years the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of sound corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the government. In addition, the government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry by imposing industrial policies. It also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

7


 

The economy of China has experienced significant growth in the past 20 years, but growth has been uneven both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The Chinese government has implemented various measures from time to time to control the rate of economic growth. Some of these measures benefit the overall economy of China, but may have a negative effect on us.  For example, our operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected by:

changes in the rate or method of taxation;

imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion and remittances abroad;

reduction in tariff or quota protection and other import restrictions; and

changes in the usage and costs of state-controlled services.

In the event the overall economic, political and/or social conditions in China deteriorate, we could be forced to curtail or cease our business operations.

Government Control Of Currency Conversion And Future Movements In Exchange Rates May Adversely Affect Our Operations And Financial Results

In the event we generate revenues, we expect to receive substantially all of our revenues in Renminbi, or RMB, the currency of China. A portion of such revenues will be converted into other currencies to meet our foreign currency obligations. Foreign exchange transactions under our regulated Chinese capital account, including principal payments in respect of foreign currency-denominated obligations, continue to be subject to significant foreign exchange controls and require the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. These limitations could affect our ability to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing, or to obtain foreign exchange for capital expenditures.

Since 1994, the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, has been based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China, which are set daily based on the previous day’s interbank foreign exchange market rate and current exchange rates on the world financial markets. The official exchange rate for the conversion of Renminbi to U.S. dollars was generally stable.  In July 2005, the Chinese Government has announced a revaluation of the Renminbi by 2%.  Our financial condition and results of operations may also be affected by changes in the value of certain currencies other than the Renminbi in which our earnings and obligations are denominated. In particular, an appreciation of the Renminbi is likely to decrease the portion of our cash flow required to satisfy our foreign currency-denominated obligations, which could force us to curtail or cease our business operations.

The Chinese Legal System Is Not Fully Developed And Has Inherent Uncertainties That Could Limit The Legal Protections Available To You

The Chinese legal system is a system based on written statutes and their interpretation by the Supreme People’s Court. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since 1979, the Chinese government has been developing a comprehensive system of commercial laws, and considerable progress has been made in introducing laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade. Two examples are the promulgation of the Contract Law of China to unify the various economic contract laws into a single code, which went into effect on October 1, 1999, and the Securities Law of China, which went into effect on July 1, 1999.  However, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published cases and their non-binding nature, interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, as the Chinese legal system develops, changes in such laws and regulations, their interpretation or their enforcement may adversely affect us and force us to curtail and/or cease our business operation.

It May Be Difficult To Serve Us With Legal Process Or Enforce Judgments Against Our Management Or Us.

All or a substantial portion of our assets are located in China. In addition, our directors and officers are non-residents of the United States, and all or substantial portions of the assets of such non-residents are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons. Moreover, there is doubt as to whether the courts of China would enforce:

8


 

judgments of United States courts against us, our directors or our officers based on the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state; or

in original actions brought in China, liabilities against non-residents or us based upon the securities laws of the United States or any state.

We Depend On The Continued Services Of Our Executive Officers, And The Loss Of Key Personnel Could Affect Our Ability To Successfully Grow Our Business.

We are highly dependent upon the services of our senior management team, particularly Mr. Zhu Xiaoxin, our CEO, President and Director, and Mr. Huang Tao, Chairman and Director.  The permanent loss for any reason of one or more of our other key executives could have a material adverse effect upon our operating results. We may not be able to locate suitable replacements for our executives if their services were lost. We do not maintain key man life insurance on any of these individuals. Our future success will also depend, in part, upon our continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel.  Our inability to retain our current key executives and attract new, qualified personnel could cause us to curtail our business operations.

CONSULTANCY FEES FOR REVERSE TAKEOVER.  Consultancy fees for reverse takeover was $2,940,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004.  It represented the fair value of 1,400,000 shares of common stock of the Company issued on February 9, 2004 to various parties as compensation for consulting services for the reverse takeover.

INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAX AND INCOME TAX EXPENSES.  Income before income tax was $9,260,719 for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $6,709,512 for the year ended December 31, 2004.  This increase was mainly attributable to the increase in revenue and gross profit generated from Jinjiang (2nd and 3rd Phase) and Dehua (1st and 2nd Phase) projects.  As a percentage of revenue, income before income tax increased from 25.01% for the year ended December 31, 2004 to 26.04% for the year ended December 31, 2005.


Income tax expenses were $2,757,400 for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $1,882,671 for the year ended December 31, 2004.  This increase was due to the increase in profit of Expert Network Shenzhen,  leading to a higher PRC enterprises income tax.


NET INCOME.  Net income was $6,503,319 for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to $4,826,841 for the year ended December 31, 2004.  As a percentage of revenue, net income was 18.28% for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to 17.99% for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The increases in revenue and profit margin generated from on going contracts have been set off by the adverse change in fair value of derivatives and the interest expenses and finance costs incurred.  As a result, net income as a percentage of revenue increased slightly for the year ended December 31, 2005.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of December 31, 2005, the Company had $7,326,595 of cash and cash equivalents on hand as compared to $3,265,318 as of December 31, 2004, representing an increase of $4,061,277 or 124%.  The increase was mainly attributable to the completion of $6,000,000 funding from the issuance of convertible debentures in October 2005, the repayment of loan from a director of $3,031,479 and being offset by the net cash used in operating activities of $1,777,042 and the deposit paid for the acquisition of a subcontractor of $3,717,380.


The net cash used in operating activities amount to $1,777,042 in 2005, with accounts receivable increased by $10,888,397 and prepayments, deposits and other receivables increased by $2,124,955, which offset by the net income of $6,503,319 and adjustment of losses on change in fair value of derivatives by $4,244,186 for the year 2005.  We required more working capital in terms of accounts receivable because Dehua (1st and 2nd Phase) projects were substantially completed and billed near the end of the year.  The increase in prepayments and deposits was due to prepaid contract costs for the commencement of Nan’an and Huian projects at the end of the year, as the Company had arranged prepayments to suppliers for the purchases of hardware on behalf of customers, and down payment to subcontractors for system development during the start-up stage of these projects.


The net cash used in investing activities amount to $3,743,239 in 2005, and it mainly represented the deposit paid in March 2005 for acquisition of Shenzhen Zhong Zhuo Technology Development Company Limited (“ZZTD”), a subcontractor of the Company for $3,717,380.  In March 2006, the Company has mutually agreed with ZZTD not to proceed with the acquisition and the full deposit amount has been refunded to the Company on March 3, 2006.


The net cash generated from financing activities amount to $9,260,478 in 2005.  It mainly represented the net funding received from the issuance of convertible debentures of $5,546,293 in October 2005, and the repayment of loan from a director of $3,031,479 in January 2005.

15


 

 


The Company anticipates that the existing cash and cash equivalent on hand, together with the cash flow generated from the existing projects will be sufficient to meet the working capital requirements for the on-going projects and to sustain the business operations for the next twelve months.  In the event that the Company signs up new contracts, additional financing may be required but there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain such additional financing, or on acceptable terms to it.


Effect of Inflation


The Company believes its operations have not been and, in the foreseeable future, will not be materially adversely affected by inflation or changing prices.


Effect of Fluctuation in Foreign Exchange Rates


The Company’s operating subsidiary is located in China.  The subsidiary purchases all products and renders services in China, and receives payment from customers in China using Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) as the functional currency.  There is no assurance that the RMB-to-USD exchange rates will remain stable.  In July 2005, the Chinese Government has announced a revaluation of the Renminbi by 2% and adopted a new currencies policy.  For the year ended December 31, 2005 we recognized a foreign currency translation gain of $450,641 and reported as other comprehensive income as a result of the appreciation of RMB.  The Company does not engage in currency hedging.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES


This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements that have been prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Associated with this, we believe the following are our most critical accounting policies in that they are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and require our management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.  Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.  We have disclosed all significant accounting policies in the notes to the financial statements included in this Form 10-KSB.  The financial statements and the related notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the following discussion of our critical accounting policies.  Our critical accounting policies are:


Revenue recognition


The Company generally enters into long-term fixed-price contracts to provide system integration services, namely to design and develop customer specific information technology systems.  Revenue is recognized under the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts”.


Under the percentage-of-completion method, management estimates the percentage-of -completion based upon costs incurred as a percentage of the total estimated costs to the customer.  When total cost estimates exceed revenues, we accrue for the estimated losses immediately.  The use of the percentage-of-completion method requires significant judgment relative to estimating total contract revenues and costs, including assumptions relative to the length of time to complete the project, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, and anticipated changes in estimated costs.  Estimates of total contract revenues and costs are continuously monitored during the term of the contract, and recorded revenues and costs are subject to revision as the contract progresses. When revisions in estimated contract revenues and costs are determined, such adjustments are recorded in the period in which they are first identified.

16


 

 


Revenues for consultancy services, agency services and other services are recognized as work is performed and amounts are earned in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” as amended by SAB No. 104 “Revenue Recognition”.  We consider amounts to be earned once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are delivered, fees are fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. For contracts with fees based on time-and-materials or cost-plus, we recognize revenue over the period of performance.


Allowance for Doubtful Accounts


We regularly monitor and assess our risk of not collecting amounts owed to us by our customers.  

This evaluation is based upon a variety of factors including: an analysis of amounts current and past due along with relevant history and facts particular to the customer.  Based upon the results of this analysis, we record an allowance for uncollectible accounts for this risk.  This analysis requires us to make significant estimates, and changes in facts and circumstances could result in material changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts.


Valuation of Derivatives


The Company accounts for non-hedging contracts that are indexed to, and potentially settled in, its own common stock in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”).  These non-hedging contracts accounted for in accordance with EITF 00-19 include freestanding warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock as well as embedded conversation features that have been bifurcated from the host contract in accordance with the requirements of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”).  Under certain circumstances that could require the Company to settle these equity items in cash or stock, and without regard to probability, EITF 00-19 could require the classification of all or part of the item as a liability and the adjustment of that reclassified amount to fair value at each reporting period, with such adjustments reflected in the line item of change in valuation of derivative as other income/(expenses) on the statements of income.


During the year, the Company issued 7% secured convertible debentures in a face amount of US$6,000,000 which are due and payable in full in one year from their issuance.  As no floor price is set for the conversion price of such convertible debentures which vary with the fair value of the Company’s common stock, the Company could not be sure it had adequate authorized shares for the future conversion of convertible debentures.  Therefore, all embedded derivatives and freestanding warrants are recorded at fair value, marked-to-market at each reporting period, and are carried on a separate line of the accompanying balance sheet.


The classification of derivatives, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liability or as equity, is assessed at the end of each reporting period.


Impairment on Tangible Assets


We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  In performing the review for recoverability, we estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.  If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized.  Otherwise, an impairment loss is not recognized.  Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets would be based on the fair value of the asset.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment", which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No.25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amends SFAS No.95, “Statement of Cash Flows”.  Generally, the approach in SFAS No.123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123.  However, SFAS No.123 (R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.  Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.  SFAS No. 123 (R) was to be effective from the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period after June 15, 2005.  In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission delayed the implementation of SFAS 123(R).   As a result, SFAS 123(R) will be effective for small business issuers from the beginning of the first annual reporting period after December 15, 2005, which is the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 for the Company.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of this statement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS No. 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets and redefines the scope of transactions that should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005, which would be our second quarter of fiscal 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.


In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections , which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principles. It requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principles, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.  The impact on the Company’s operations will depend on future accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting principles.


In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, which amends SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and SFAS No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”, and improves the financial reporting of certain hybrid financial instruments by requiring more consistent accounting that eliminates exemptions and provides a means to simplify the accounting for these instruments.  Specifically, SFAS 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis.  SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of the statement on the Company’s consolidation financial statements.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.  The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of achieving the Company’s disclosure control objectives.  The Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at this reasonable assurance level as of the end of period covered.  In addition, the Company reviewed its internal controls, and there have been no changes in its internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their last evaluation or from the end of the reporting period to the date of this Form 10-KSB.

Changes in Internal Controls.  In connection with the evaluation of the Company’s internal controls during the Company’s year ended December 31, 2005, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have determined that there were no changes to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2005, or subsequent to the date of their last evaluation, or from the end of the reporting period to the date of this Form 10-KSB.

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 sheet of China Expert Technology, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for year then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.  


We conducted our audit 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.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designed audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  Our audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides 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 subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




1.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY


China Expert Technology, Inc. (the “Company” or “CXTI”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 18, 1990.


On February 9, 2004, CXTI completed a share exchange with the shareholders of China Expert Network Company Limited (“CEN”) (“the Exchange”).  In the Exchange, CXTI acquired 30,000,000 shares representing all the issued and outstanding common share of CEN from the shareholders 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 financial institutes and advisors as compensation for consulting services for the reverse takeover.


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 shareholders 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).


Following a reverse takeover, 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, Expert Network (Shenzhen) Limited (“ENS”) and Hong Zhong Holdings Limited (“HZH”).  CEN is a limited liability company incorporated in Hong Kong and wholly owned by CXTI.  ENS is a limited liability company established in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).  HZH is a limited liability company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.  ENS and HZH are wholly owned by CEN.  For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company’s revenue were mainly generated from the provision of system integration for establishment of e-government information system and network to local government bodies in Fujian Province, the PRC.


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

Adjustment number:


(1)

In conjunction with the Exchange as mentioned in Note 1 above, CXTI also issued a total of 1,400,000 common shares to financial institutes and advisors as compensation for consulting services for the reverse takeover in addition to 19,935,000 common shares of the Company to the Shareholders.  This transaction was previously reported in the 2004 financial statements as part of the shares issued for acquisition of CEN and charged directly to equity by reference to the par value of such shares issued.


The Company has determined that such 1,400,000 common shares were issued as compensation for services rendered for the reverse takeover and the relevant costs should be charged against income as consultancy fees for reverse takeover in 2004.  The fair value of the transaction costs was determined by the management to be US$2,940,000, which was based on the bid price provided by the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) on February 9, 2004 (representing the date of the completion of the reverse takeover).


As a result of the aforementioned adjustment, the net income for 2004 was reduced by US$2,940,000, the net income per share was reduced from US$0.33 to US$0.20 per share and the additional paid-in capital was increased by US$2,940,000.  This adjustment had no impact on net cash provided by operating activities reported in the 2004 consolidated statement of cash flows.

(2)

In order to have a better presentation of the reverse takeover in 2004, the management made certain reallocation adjustments on the common stock and additional paid-in capital.  In particular, US$3,855,313 of the 2004’s common stock was reallocated to the additional paid-in capital of the Company.  US$3,855,313 represented US$3,856,041 of CEN’s common stock less US$728 of CXTI’s common stock (728,474 shares of par value of US$0.001 each) immediately prior to the reverse takeover.


In effect, the opening outstanding common stock of the Company for 2004 represented 19,935,000 shares of par value of US$0.001 each amounted to US$19,935 issued by CXTI to the Shareholders whilst US$728 of CXTI’s common stock (representing 728,474 shares of par value of US$0.001 each) immediately prior to the reverse takeover were regarded as the shares issued for the reverse takeover.  This reallocation had no impact on net income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows in 2004.


(3)

Prepaid expenses reported in the 2004 consolidated balance sheet comprised of a current portion of US$500,000 that was expensed in 2005.  Such current portion has been reclassified from non-current assets to current assets accordingly.  This reclassification had no impact on net income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows in 2004.


(4)

Amount due from a former officer and amount due to a former officer as of December 31, 2004 have been restated by reporting the gross amounts instead of a net amount on the 2004 consolidated balance sheet.  Accordingly, amount due from a former officer was restated at $2,022,525 and amount due to a former officer was restated at $2,137,881.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of Presentation


The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.


Principles of consolidation


The consolidated financial statements 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 financial statements in conformity with according 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 period. Significant estimates required to be made by management include the recoverability of long-lived assets and recognition of revenue under long term amounts. 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued


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.


Valuation of long-lived assets


The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances warrant such a review.  The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value.  In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset.  Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.  Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost to dispose.


Deferred financing costs


Deferred financing costs include all costs incurred that are directly related to obtaining loans.  These costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the loans.  


Derivative


The Company accounts for non-hedging contracts that are indexed to, and potentially settled in, its own common stock in accordance with the provisions of EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”).  These non-hedging contracts accounted for in accordance with EITF 00-19 include freestanding warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock as well as embedded conversation features that have been bifurcated from the host contract in accordance with the requirements of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”).  Under certain circumstances that could require the Company to settle these equity items in cash or stock, and without regard to probability, EITF 00-19 could require the classification of all or part of the item as a liability and the adjustment of that reclassified amount to fair value at each reporting period, with such adjustments reflected in the line item of change in valuation of derivative as other income/(expenses) on the statements of income.

Derivative - Continued


During the year, the Company issued 7% secured convertible debentures in a face amount of US$6,000,000 which are due and payable in full in one year from their issuance (refer to Note 10 for details).  As no floor price is set for the conversion price of such convertible debentures which vary with the fair value of the Company’s common stock, the Company could not be sure it had adequate authorized shares for the future conversion of convertible debentures.  Therefore, all embedded derivatives and freestanding warrants are recorded at fair value, marked-to-market at each reporting period, and are carried on a separate line of the accompanying balance sheet.


The classification of derivatives, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liability or as equity, is assessed at the end of each reporting period.


Revenue recognition


Over 99% of the Company’s revenue was derived from the provision of system integration services for establishment of e-government information system and network to local government bodies of Fujian Province.  The system integration services contracts are fixed price and under long-term arrangements.  Furthermore, an insignificant portion of the Company’s revenue was derived from the provision of consultation and training services to local government bodies.    


The Company generally enters into long-term fixed price contracts with local governments to provide system integration services, which included designing the framework of the e-government system, software development and system integration.  The software development is subcontracting to several external software development companies at a fixed price basis.  Revenue on long–term fixed price contracts is recognized under the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts”.  Under the percentage-of-completion method, management estimates the percentage-of-completion based upon costs incurred as a percentage of the total estimated costs to the customer.  When total cost estimates exceed revenues, the Company accrues for the estimated losses immediately.  The use of the percentage-of-completion method requires significant judgment relative to estimating total contract revenues and costs, including assumptions relative to the length of time to complete the project, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, and anticipated changes in estimated costs.  Estimates of total contract revenues and costs are continuously monitored during the term of the contract, and recorded revenues and costs are subject to revision as the contract progresses. When revisions in estimated contract revenues and costs are determined, such adjustments are recorded in the period in which they are first identified.  For instances where the work performed on fixed price contracts is of relatively short duration, revenue is recognized when the work is completed.


Revenues for consultancy services, agency services and other services are recognized as work is performed and amounts are earned in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” as amended by SAB No. 104 “Revenue Recognition”.  The Company considers amounts to be earned once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are delivered, fees are fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.  For contracts with fees based on time-and-materials or cost-plus, revenue is recognized over the period of performance.

Cost of revenue


Cost of revenue comprises mainly subcontracting costs, labor and other cost incurred by those staff directly engaged in the contracts.


Advertising and marketing expenses


Advertising and marketing expenses, which are charged to income statement as incurred, were US$623,578, US$1,101,205 and US$6,501 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.


Comprehensive income


Accumulated other comprehensive income represents foreign currency translation adjustments and is included in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.


Fair value of financial instruments


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


Income Taxes


Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method, which requires an entity to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets.  Deferred income taxes are recognized based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years.  Further, the effects of enacted tax laws or rate changes are included as part of deferred tax expense or benefit in the year that covers the enactment date.  A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.


Foreign Currency Translation


The Company uses China Renminbi (“RMB”) as a functional currency. Transactions denominated in currencies other than RMB are translated into RMB at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies are translated into RMB at rates of exchange 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 (“US$”) as the reporting currency.  Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at year end dates. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing for each of the years.  Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rate from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income”.  Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translations are included in other comprehensive income.  The exchange rate between the RMB and the US$ and used for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were RMB8.0702 to US$1.00 and RMB8.2468 to US$1.00, respectively.


Post-retirement and post-employment benefits


The Company and its subsidiaries contribute to a state pension scheme in respect of its PRC employees and a mandatory provident fund scheme in respect of its Hong Kong employees.  Other than the above, neither the Company nor its subsidiaries provide any other post-retirement or post-employment benefits.

Net income per share


Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.  The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued.  


Recently issued accounting pronouncements


In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No.25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amends SFAS No.95, “Statement of Cash Flows”. Generally, the approach in SFAS No.123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No.123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.  Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. SFAS No. 123(R) was to be effective from the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period after June 15, 2005. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission delayed the implementation of SFAS 123(R).  As a result, SFAS 123(R) will be effective for small business issuers from the beginning of the first annual reporting period after December 15, 2005, which is the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 for the Company. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this statement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS No. 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of non-monetary assets and redefines the scope of transactions that should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. SFAS No. 153 is effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005, which would be the Company’s second quarter of fiscal 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.


In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (“SFAS No. 154”), which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principles. It requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principles, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The impact on the Company’s operations will depend on future accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting principles.


In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, which amends SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and SFAS No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”, and improves the financial reporting of certain hybrid financial instruments by requiring more consistent accounting that eliminates exemptions and provides a means to simplify the accounting for these instruments.  Specifically, SFAS 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis.  SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of the statement on the Company’s consolidation financial statements.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES


On October 31, 2005, the Company issued 7% secured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) in an aggregate amount of US$6,000,000.  The Debentures are due and payable in full in one year from the date of issuance and require quarterly payment of interest payable in cash or stock at the option of the Company.  At any time from the date of issuance until the maturity date of the Debentures, the Debenture holders have the right to convert the full face amount of the Debentures to common stock of the Company at a price of equal to 75% of the average of the volume weighted average prices of the Company’s common stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion.  In no event will the conversion price be greater than US$1.80 per share.


In connection with the issuance of the Debentures, the Company issued short-term warrants (“Short Term Warrants”) and long-term warrants (“Long Term Warrants”) to the Debenture holders.  For Short Term Warrants, the Company issued the right to the holders to purchase up to 3,921,569 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of US$1.53 per share.  Short Term Warrants are exercisable for a period equal to the earlier of 18 months from the date of a registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or five years from their issuance.  For Long Term Warrants, the Company issued the right to the holders to purchase up to 1,960,784 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of US$3.06 per share.  Long Term Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years following their issuance.
