PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following is only a summary of the information, financial statements and the notes included in this Prospectus. You should read the entire Prospectus carefully, including “Risk Factors” and our Financial Statements and the notes to the Financial Statements before making any investment decision.

Our Company

China Expert was 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 wholly-owned 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 (the “Exchange Act”).

On July 10, 2000, the Company merged into 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 subsidiary, by distributing the shares of Dakota on a pro-rata basis to the shareholders of the Company.  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, a Hong Kong corporation. In the exchange, the Company acquired 30,000,000 shares of China Expert Network Company Limited common stock from the shareholders of China Expert Network Company Limited, representing all of the issued and outstanding stock of China Expert Network Company Limited in exchange for the issuance of 19,935,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In conjunction with the exchange, the Company also issued a total of 1,400,000 additional shares of common stock to various parties as compensation for consulting services for the reverse takeover.  The consultants retained were Mid Continental Securities Corporation, Hudson Capital Corporation and First Asia Private Equity Investment Limited.  The consulting services include:  (i) advising and assisting in developing and implementing a market development strategy for the technology infrastructure market; (ii) advising and assisting in developing and implementing strategies designed to provide for adequate profit margins and proper management of risks related to forward pricing commitments on large infrastructure contracts; and (iii) advising in the area of long term development to competitively position the Company.  None of the above-listed consultants is a selling stockholder included in this prospectus.  On April 12, 2004, following completion of the share exchange transaction, the Company changed its name to China Expert Technology, Inc.  China Expert Network Company Limited is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the shares of China Expert Network Company Limited common stock represent the Company’s most significant asset. The Company, through China Expert Network Company Limited and China Expert Network Company Limited’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Expert Network (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd. (“Expert Network”), provides large-scale e-government infrastructure construction and consulting services for community and municipal governments in China, including enterprise information platform construction, public LAN construction, software development, website planning and development, workflow management and computer hosting services. The Company is the first private enterprise with the authority to provide technological achievement appraisal services for information technology companies in China.  The Company received notice and approval to provide its services from the Department of Science and Technology of Shenzhen City.

Recent Developments

In 2005, the Company has been awarded five new e-Government contracts with city and county municipalities, namely Jinjiang (2nd and 3rd Phase), Dehua (2nd Phase), Huian and Jinjiang Unified Command System.  The Company has substantially completed Jinjiang (1st Phase) and Dehua (1st and 2nd Phase). In February 2005, the Company was awarded a contract for the provision of Information and electronic administration training and program and materials to 3,500 officials of Jinjiang City Government.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, our revenues totaled $35,568,606, representing an increase of approximately 33% as compared to that in the fiscal year ended December 31,  2004. The increase in revenue in year 2005 is attributable to the completion of Dehua (1st and 2nd Phase) projects and the commencement of Jinjiang (2nd and 3rd Phase) projects.  99% of the revenue in 2005 was derived from the e-Government projects, and the rest was income derived from provision of training services.

During the period of the first quarter of the year 2006, the Company has been awarded seven new e-government contracts with the city and municipalities in the People’s Republic of China, including Jinjiang (4th Phase), Dehua (3rd and 4th Phases), Licheng District City, Shishi City, Yinzhou District Ningbo City and Dehua Unified Command System.

SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following is a summary of our financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this Prospectus.  You should read the following data together with the section of this Prospectus entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as well as with our financial statements and the notes thereto which accompany this Prospectus.

The Company has restated certain financial statements to resolve the following items:

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2005 and 2004 on page F-26, the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the related notes have been restated in order to properly reflect the compensation for consulting services for the reverse takeover as operating costs and to reclassify certain assets and liabilities.  The effect of the adjustments is to reduce the net income for 2004 by $2,940,000 and increase the additional paid-in capital by the same amount.

Common stock under the stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2004 as reported in the consolidated balance sheets and the related notes have been restated at $24,414 to reflect the par value of common stock issued and outstanding.

Prepaid expenses reported in the consolidated balance sheets and the related notes have been restated by reclassifying $500,000 from non-current assets to current assets, in order to properly present the current and non-current portion of prepaid expenses.

Amount due from a former officer as reported in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2004 has been restated at $2,022,525 and amount due to a former officer has been restated at $2,137,881.  They have been restated by reporting the gross amount instead of net amount.

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 or 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.

9


 

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:

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;

10


 

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.

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

11


 

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, a depreciation of the Renminbi is likely to increase 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:

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 Xiao Xin, 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.

Risks Related To This Offering

Future Sales By Our Stockholders May Adversely Affect Our Stock Price And Our Ability To Raise Funds In New Stock Offerings

Sales of our common stock in the public market following this offering could lower the market price of our common stock.  Sales may also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that our management deems acceptable or at all.  Of the 27,945,837 shares of common stock outstanding as of May 31, 2006, 13,334,782 shares are, or will be, freely tradable without restriction, unless held by our “affiliates.”  The remaining 14,611,055 shares of common stock which are held by existing stockholders, including officers and directors, are restricted securities.  Some of these shares may be resold under Rule 144.

Existing Shareholders Will Experience Significant Dilution From Our Sale Of Shares Pursuant To The Conversion Of Convertible Debentures

The selling stockholders may convert the secured convertible debentures described herein into shares of our common stock, at a conversion price which is at a 25% discount to the market price.  The subsequent sale of such shares by the selling stockholders could cause significant downward pressure on the price of China Expert’s common stock.  This is especially the case if the shares being placed into the market exceed the market’s demand for the shares of China Expert’s common stock.  As the stock price of China Expert’s common stock declines, the selling stockholders will be entitled to receive an increasing number of shares under the convertible debentures.  The sale of such increasing number of shares by the selling stockholders could cause further downward pressure on the stock price to the detriment and dilution of existing investors, as well as the selling stockholders in this offering.  

Further, there is no maximum number of shares China Expert might be required to issue under securities with market-price based conversion or exercise prices, such as securities issued in connection with the secured convertible debentures, except for the 4.99% limitation on each of the selling stockholder’s ownership interest in China Expert at any one time.  However, the selling stockholders may acquire and sell a number of shares that far exceeds this limit, through the continual purchase and sale of shares.  

As a result, our net income per share could decrease in future periods, and the market price of our common stock could decline.  In addition, the lower our stock price, the more shares of common stock we will have to issue upon conversion of the secured convertible debentures.  If our stock price is lower, then our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution.  

The Selling Stockholders Intends To Sell Its Shares Of Common Stock In The Market, Which Sales May Cause Our Stock Price To Decline

China Expert has been informed that the selling stockholders intend to sell in the public market the shares of common stock are being registered under secured convertible debentures and under warrants.  That means that up to 16,000,000 shares may be sold by the selling stockholders.  Such sales may cause our stock price to decline.  

The Sale Of Our Stock Under The Secured Convertible Debentures Could Encourage Short Sales By Third Parties, Which Could Contribute To The Future Decline Of Our Stock Price

In many circumstances the provision of secured convertible debentures for companies that are traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board has the potential to cause a significant downward pressure on the price of common stock.  This is especially the case if the shares being placed into the market exceed the market’s ability to take up the increased stock or if China Expert has not performed in such a manner to show that the debt raised will be used to grow China Expert.  Such an event could place further downward pressure on the price of common stock.  

The outstanding secured convertible debentures are convertible at a 25% discount to the market price of our common stock.  As a result, the opportunity exists for short sellers and others to contribute to the future decline of China Expert's stock price.  Persons engaging in short sales first sell shares that they do not own, and thereafter, purchase shares to cover their previous sales.  To the extent the stock price declines between the time the person sells the shares and subsequently purchases the shares, the person engaging in short sales will profit from the transaction, and the greater the decline in the stock, the greater the profit to the person engaging in such short-sales.  Because the secured convertible debentures are convertible at a discount to market, it is possible that the debentures could be converted if the market price of our common stock declines, thus, supplying any short sellers with the opportunity to cover their short positions.  By contrast, a person owning a long position in a stock, such as an investor purchasing shares in this offering, first purchases the shares at the then market price, if the stock price declines while the person owns the shares, then upon the sale of such shares the person maintaining the long position will incur a loss, and the greater the decline in the stock price, the greater the loss which is incurred by the person owning a long position in the stock.

13


 

If there are significant short sales of our stock, the price decline that would result from this activity will cause our share price to decline more so which in turn may cause long holders of our stock to sell their shares thereby contributing to sales of stock in the market.  If there is an imbalance on the sell side of the market for our stock the price will decline.  It is not possible to predict if the circumstances where by a short sales could materialize or to what our share price could drop.  In some companies that have been subjected to short sales their stock price has dropped to near zero.  We cannot provide any assurances that this situation will not happen to us.  

The Sequential Purchase And Sale Of Market Price-Based Securities In The Context Of A Declining Market Price Could Result In A Change Of Control.  

In the event of a decline in the market price of China Expert’s common stock, through the purchase and conversion of shares under the secured convertible debentures, the subsequent resale of such shares could result in China Expert issuing a sufficient number of shares of common stock registered in this offering, which if held by one or more stockholders working together, could result in a change of control.  

Our Common Stock Is Deemed To Be “Penny Stock,” Which May Make It More Difficult For New Investors To Sell Their Shares Due To Suitability Requirements

Our common stock is deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act . Penny stocks are stocks:

With a price of less than $5.00 per share;

That are not traded on a “recognized” national exchange;

Whose prices are not quoted on the Nasdaq automated quotation system;

Nasdaq stocks that trade below $5.00 per share are deemed a “penny stock” for purposes of Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act;

In issuers with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last three years.

Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline.

The forward-looking statements and associated risks set forth in this Prospectus include or relate to, among other things, (a) our projected sales and profitability, (b) our growth strategies, (c) anticipated trends in our industry, (d) our ability to obtain and retain sufficient capital for future operations, and (e) our anticipated needs for working capital. These statements may be found under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations” and “Business,” as well as in this Prospectus generally. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” and matters described in this Prospectus generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus will in fact occur.

The forward-looking statements herein are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that there will be no material adverse competitive or technological change in conditions in our business, that demand for our products will significantly increase, that our President and Chief Executive Officer will remain employed as such, that our forecasts accurately anticipate market demand, and that there will be no material adverse change in our operations or business or in governmental regulations affecting us. The foregoing assumptions are based on judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any such assumption could prove to be inaccurate and therefore there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in forward-looking statements will be realized. In addition, as disclosed elsewhere in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus, there are a number of other risks inherent in our business and operations which could cause our operating results to vary markedly and adversely from prior results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Growth in absolute and relative amounts of cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses or the occurrence of extraordinary events could cause actual results to vary materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Management decisions, including budgeting, are subjective in many respects and periodic revisions must be made to reflect actual conditions and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter marketing, capital investment and other expenditures, which may also materially adversely affect our results of operations. In light of significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included in this prospectus, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved.

Some of the information in this prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Any statement in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus that is not a statement of an historical fact constitutes a “forward-looking statement”. Further, when we use the words “may”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “believe”, “seek”, “estimate”, “internal”, and similar words, we intend to identify statements and expressions that may be forward- looking statements. We believe it is important to communicate certain of our expectations to our investors. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Many factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. You are accordingly cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Important factors that may cause our actual results to differ from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the risk factors discussed below. Before you invest in our common stock, you should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events described under “Risk Factors” below or elsewhere in this Prospectus could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. In such a case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.

The following information contains a description of each selling shareholder’s relationship to China Expert and how each selling shareholder acquired the shares to be sold in this offering is detailed below.  None of the selling stockholders have held a position or office, or had any other material relationship, with the Company.

Shares Acquired In Financing Transactions With China Expert

The selling stockholders consist of Alpha Capital AG, DKR Soundshore Oasis Holding Fund, Ltd., Ellis International, Platinum Partners Advisors, LLC and Platinum Partners Long Term Growth I, LLC.  The selling stockholders acquired their shares being registered in this offering in financing transactions with China Expert, as explained below:

Securities Purchase Agreement.  On October 31, 2005, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 21, 2005, (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), with each selling stockholder pursuant to which, we agreed to sell, and each selling stockholder agreed to purchase in the aggregate, severally and not jointly, up to $6,000,000 of secured convertible debentures.  We are registering in this offering 16,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the secured convertible debentures.  Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we granted to the selling stockholders a security interest in certain of our assets as collateral for repayment of the secured convertible debentures.  Our subsidiaries, China Expert Network Co., Ltd., a Hong Kong corporation, Expert Network (Shenzhen) Co, Ltd, a company incorporated under the laws of Shenzhen, China, and Hong Zhong Holdings, Ltd., a British Virgin Islands corporation, have each agreed to guarantee our obligations to the selling stockholders.  In addition, the selling stockholders have the right of first refusal to participate in future financings by us for a period of twelve months following the effective date of the Registration Statement.

16


 

The right of first refusal is a right that is granted to the selling shareholders under Section 4.13 of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to this section, this is a right that commenced from the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, (i.e., October 21 2005 up to the date that is the 12 month anniversary of the date that the accompanying registration statement is declared effective by the SEC) upon any financing by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of common stock or equivalents (“Subsequent Financing”), each selling shareholder shall have the right to participate in the Subsequent Financing up to an amount equal to 100% of the Subsequent Financing (the “Participation Maximum”).  

At least 5 trading days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, China Expert shall deliver to each selling shareholder a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask such selling shareholder if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”).  Upon the request of a selling shareholder for a Subsequent Financing Notice, China Expert shall promptly, but no later than 1 trading day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such selling shareholder.  The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder, the Person with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected, and attached to which shall be a term sheet or similar document relating thereto.    

Any selling shareholders desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide written notice to China Expert by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 5th trading day after all of the selling shareholders have received the Pre-Notice that the purchaser is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of the selling shareholder’s participation, and that the selling shareholder has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.  If China Expert receives no notice from a selling shareholder as of such 5th trading day, such selling shareholder shall be deemed to have notified China Expert that it does not elect to participate.

If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 5th trading day after all of the selling shareholders have received the Pre-Notice, notifications by the Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then China Expert may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and to the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.  

If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 5th trading day after all of the selling shareholders have received the Pre-Notice, China Expert receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from selling shareholders seeking to purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Participation Maximum, each such selling shareholder shall have the right to purchase the greater of (a) their Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Participation Maximum and (b) the difference between the Participation Maximum and the aggregate amount of participation by all other Purchasers.  “Pro Rata Portion” is the ratio of (a) the Subscription Amount of Securities purchased on the closing date i.e. October 31, 2005 by a selling shareholder pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and (b) the sum of the aggregate Subscription Amounts of Securities purchased on the closing date by all selling shareholder.

China Expert must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the selling shareholders will again have the right of participation as set forth above, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within sixty (60) trading days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.

Secured Convertible Debentures.  Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, on October 31, 2005, we issued to the selling stockholders 7% secured convertible debentures in the aggregate amount of $6,000,000.  The selling stockholders have the right to convert the full face amount of the debentures into our common stock at a price per share equal to the lesser of (a) $1.80 per share, or (b) 75% of the average of the volume weighted average prices of our common stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date; provided, however, that each selling stockholder is not entitled to convert the debentures for a number of shares of our common stock in excess of that number of shares of common stock, which upon giving effect to such conversion, would cause the aggregate number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders to exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock following such conversion.  At any time after this Registration Statement filed by the Company is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we may deliver a notice to the holder of the secured convertible debentures of our election to redeem some or all of the then outstanding secured convertible debentures, for an amount, in cash, equal to 125% of the principal amount of the secured convertible debenture then outstanding, plus accrued but unpaid interest and all liquidated damages and other amounts due in respect of the secured convertible debentures.  At our option, under the secured convertible debentures, we are required to make quarterly payment of interest payable in cash or shares of common stock, subject to certain conditions.  The due date for payment of the secured convertible debentures may be accelerated as the result of the occurrence of certain events of default, which include, but are not limited to, defaults by us in making required payments, defaults by us under the Securities Purchase Agreement and other material agreements, bankruptcy, or failure to cause a registration statement for the shares of our common stock underlying the secured convertible debentures to be declared effective within 200 days after the closing date, which occurred on October 31, 2005.

The Short Term Warrants.  We issued to the selling stockholders warrants to purchase up to 3,921,569 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.53 per share.  The Short Term Warrants are exercisable for a period equal to the earlier of 18 months from the effective date of this registration statement or five years from their issuance date, which was October 31, 2005.

The Long Term Warrants.  We issued to the selling stockholders 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, which was October 31, 2005.

The Platinum Warrant.  In addition, on October 31, 2005, we issued to Platinum Partners Advisors, LLC 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.  We issued these warrants to Platinum Partners Advisors, LLC for legal and due diligence expenses as the lead investor as set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.  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 this 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, which was October 31, 2005.

Additional Agreements In Connection With The Secured Convertible Debentures

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, an Escrow Agreement, a Subsidiary Guarantee, a Security Agreement, a Long Term Warrant, a Short Term Warrant, a Platinum Warrant, all in connection with the performance of our obligations under the secured convertible debentures.

DILUTION

Our net tangible book value as of March 31, 2006 was $27,396,879, or $0.9814 per share of common stock outstanding on March 31, 2006.  Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our tangible book value (i.e., total assets, including property and equipment, less total intangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock.  The sale of shares by the selling stockholders issuable upon the conversion of the secured convertible debentures will have a dilutive impact on our existing shareholders.  The net tangible book value per share would change if all or part of the shares in this offering will be sold because of the increase in the total of shares of common stock outstanding.  

The selling stockholders may convert the secured convertible debentures described herein into shares of our common stock, at a price 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.  The subsequent sale of such shares by the selling stockholders could cause significant downward pressure on the price of China Expert’s common stock.  This is especially the case if the shares being placed into the market exceed the market’s demand for the shares of China Expert’s common stock.  As the stock price of China Expert’s common stock declines, the selling stockholders will be entitled to receive an increasing number of shares under the convertible debentures.  The sale of such increasing number of shares by the selling stockholders could cause further downward pressure on the stock price to the detriment and dilution of existing investors, as well as the selling stockholders in this offering.  

Further, there is no maximum number of shares China Expert might be required to issue under securities with market-price based conversion or exercise prices, such as securities issued in connection with the secured convertible debentures, except for the 4.99% limitation on each of the selling stockholder’s ownership interest in China Expert at any one time.  However, the selling stockholders may acquire and sell a number of shares that far exceeds this limit, through the continual purchase and sale of shares.  

As a result, our net income per share could decrease in future periods, and the market price of our common stock could decline.  In addition, the lower our stock price, the more shares of common stock we will have to issue upon conversion of the secured convertible debentures.  If our stock price is lower, then our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution.  

21


 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each selling stockholder of the common stock of Company and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the trading market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions.  These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.  A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

privately negotiated transactions;

settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

a combination of any such methods of sale;

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

The selling stockholders are not members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, or NASD.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440, and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.

In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume.  The selling stockholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.  The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the 1933 Act in connection with such sales.  In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the 1933 Act.  Each selling stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock.

22


 

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares.

The Company has agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the 1933 Act.

Because selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the 1933 Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act.  In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus.  Each selling stockholder has advised us that they have not entered into any written or oral agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer regarding the sale of the resale shares.  There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling stockholders.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(e) under the 1933 Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to the prospectus or Rule 144 under the 1933 Act or any other rule of similar effect.  The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution.  In addition, the Selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person.  We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Special Note Of Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this report, including statements in the following discussion, which are not statements of historical fact, are what is 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.

The net cash used in operating activities amount to $4,030,277 for the three months period, with accounts receivable increased by $2,704,881, cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contract increased by $4,772,512 and prepayments, deposit and other receivables increased by $1,978,821, which offset by the net income of $1,690,114 and adjustment of expenses compensated by common stock of $2,464,423 and employees’ compensation by common stock of $1,672,000.  We required additional working capital in terms of accounts receivable and cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings because of the commencement of several new projects during this period, namely Jinjiang (4th Phase), Dehua (3rd and 4th Phases), Nan’an and Huian, as revenue was recognized in excess of billings and majority of the billings was near the end of the period.  The increase in prepayments and deposits was due to prepaid contract costs for the commencement of the new projects, as the Company had arranged down payment to subcontractors for system development during the start-up stage of these projects.

The net cash provided by investing activities amount to $3,716,514, and it mainly represented the refund of deposit  for acquisition of Shenzhen Zhong Zhuo Technology Development Company Limited (“ZZTD”), a subcontractor of the Company for $3,717,380.  The Company has mutually agreed with ZZTD not to proceed with the acquisition and the full deposit amount was refunded to the Company on March 3, 2006.

The net cash generated from financing activities amount to $105,548 for the three months period.  It mainly represented the cash advances from a former officer of $231,263 offset by the repayments to the same of $125,597.

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 remainder of 2006.  In the event that the Company signs up and commences 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.

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 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.

As of December 31, 2004, the Company had $3,265,318 of cash and cash equivalents on hand as compared to $47,223 as of December 31, 2003, representing an increase of $3,218,095 or 6,815%.  The increase was mainly attributable to the net cash provided by operating activities of $5,884,565 and being offset by the payment of loan to a director of $3,031,479.

The net cash provided by operating activities amount to $5,884,565 in 2004, with net income of $4,826,841 and adding back non-cash expenses compensated by common stock of $4,041,205, and the increases in tax payables of $2,521,947, which offset by the increase in accounts receivable of $4,438,331 and prepayments, deposits and other receivables increased by $2,583,551.  The Company required more working capital in terms of accounts receivable because substantial portion of Dehua (1st Phase) was completed and billed near the end of the year.  The increase in prepayments and deposits was due to prepaid contract costs during the start-up stage of Dehua (1st Phase), 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 the project.

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 registration statement.  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.

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.

33


 

During the year 2005, 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 adoption of SFAS No. 154 does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

34


 

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 consolidated financial statements.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES

On July 12, 2005, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to report the change in our certifying accountant.  This appointment replaced PKF Certified Public Accountants (“PKF”) as the independent auditor engaged to audit our financial statements.  PKF resigned as our principal independent accountant on July 8, 2005.  The Board of directors authorized the engagement of BDO McCabe Lo Limited as the new independent auditor to audit our financial statements.  During the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period up to the date of resignation of PKF on July 8, 2005, there were no disagreement between the Company and PKF, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedures, which, if not resolved to the former accountant’s satisfaction, caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign exchange risk

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 RMB by 2% and adopted a new currencies policy, and since then the RMB has appreciated in value as compared to US dollar.  As a result of the appreciation of RMB as compared to US dollar, for the three months ended March 31, 2006 we recognized a foreign currency translation gain of $214,685 which was reported as other comprehensive income.  For the year ended December 31, 2005 we recognized a foreign currency translation gain of $450,641 and reported as other comprehensive income.  The Company has not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce its exposure to foreign exchange risk.

Any devaluation of the RMB against the US dollar will consequently have an adverse effect on our financial performance and asset values when measured in terms of US dollar.  In addition, the Company may have US dollar denominated borrowings such as the convertible debentures, therefore a devaluation of the RMB will increase the financial burden on the repayment of debts in future.

Interest rate risk

At present, the Company’s only borrowing is the convertible debentures with a fixed interest rate of 7% per annum.  The Company believes the exposure to interest rate risk and other relevant market risks is not material.

Inflation

In recent years, China has not experienced significant inflation, and thus inflation will not have a material impact on our results of operations.  According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in Consumer Price Index in China was 1.2%, 3.9% and 1.8% in 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively.

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”.  China Expert Network Co. Ltd., the Company’s subsidiary, owns 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Expert Network (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd. China Expert Network Co. Ltd. also owns 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Hong Zhong Holdings Ltd.

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 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 limited liability company.  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 consulting services for the reverse takeover.  The Company was no longer a subsidiary of Hudson Capital Corporation after the share exchange.  CEN was formed in Hong Kong in October 1998 under the name of Uniroyal Holdings Limited. Its name was changed to China Expert Network Company Limited in May 2000. During the years 2003 and 2004 before the share exchange with Leopard, CEN was involved in the business of providing e-government infrastructure construction and consulting services to the city government of Jinjiang as well as providing technological achievement appraisal services for IT companies in China. There has been no bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings against CEN.

Except for the share exchange with Leopard, there was no material classification, merger, consolidation or purchase or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business of CEN during the last three years.

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).

Business Overview

(1)

Large-Scale E-Government Construction And Maintenance

The Company is 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 first private enterprise with the authority to provide technological achievement appraisal services for IT companies in China.  The Company received notice and approval to provide its services from the Department of Science and Technology of Shenzhen City. There are various versions for E-government, such as electronic government, network government, and information administration of government. However, the E-government does not simply refer to “government on line project” or some website systems based on web pages.  The term of E-government is a process in which the government is able to take advantage of modern information and communication technologies to integrate its management and service on the Internet, optimize and reform the government structures and working processes, and provide good and standard international administration and service to the society.

Enterprise information platform is the portal or gateway of an enterprise’s information communicating system with both internal and external parties. With this platform, all the employees, clients, working partners of the enterprise can assess to and exchange the enterprise’s information by means of a unified system.

E-government consulting services are the services that the Company can provide to the target city government before signing the e-government main contract. The services include a site visit to the target city government, performing an examination and analysis on the existing information technology infrastructure and resources and the potential risks it would face if the e-government project is constructed by combining the Company’s e-government system technology with the data gathered and the result of analysis, a report about the feasibility of constructing e-government system in the target city together with a full plan of the whole e-government construction project is developed.

The Company conducts its principal business operation through its subsidiary ENS which is based in Shenzhen and Fujian, the PRC.  Since its establishment in 1999, ENS has obtained twelve contracts with five city governments in the Fujian province of the PRC for the provision of large-scale e-government infrastructure construction, consulting, training and maintenance services and one city government in the Zhejiang province for the provision of service of design and planning of an e-government system.  Particulars of the contracts are as follows:

Except for the completion dates of Jinjiang (1st Phase), Dehua (2nd Phase) and Jinjiang Unified Command System projects which have passed, the completion dates of the other projects are still to come.  However, the three projects referenced above have been completed within the contemplated completion date.

For Jinjiang (2nd Phase) and the Dehua (3rd Phase) e-government projects, if the projects’ completion date is missed, there will be a penalty equal to a daily surcharge of 0.01% of the total amount of the contract charged against the Company. The cumulative amount of the daily surcharge should not exceed 0.5% of the total amount of the contract. If the delay exceeds 30 days from the agreed completion date, then the respective city government has the right to terminate the contract. Within 10 days from the date the Company receives the termination notice from the city government, the Company has to refund all of the money that it received from the city government, and pay 30% of the total amount of the contract as default penalty. For Jinjiang (3rd Phase), Dehua (4th Phase) e-government projects and Jinjiang Society Medical Insurance Information System project, the daily surcharge is 0.5% of the total amount of the contract and the cumulative amount should not exceed 1% of the total amount of the contract.

If the delay exceeds 150 days from the agreed completion date, then the Company is deemed to have failed to fulfill the respective contracts and should return all the money received from the city Government and pay penalties equal to 20% of the total amount of the respective contracts.

For Jinjiang and Dehua Unified Command System projects, the penalty for missing the completion date is a daily surcharge of 0.5% of the total amount of the contract with the cumulative amount not exceeding 5% of the total amount of the contract.

For Jinjiang E-government Training project, there is a penalty for missing the completion date with the exact amount of such penalty will be subject to further negotiation . There is no penalty for missing the completion date in the Jinjiang E-government Maintenance and Ningbo Design and Planning projects.

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.

Warranty.  The one year warranty is part of the services that the Company has to provide under the terms of the main contracts of Jinjiang (2nd and 3rd Phases), Dehua (1st to 4th Phases), Huian, Nan’an, Licheng, Shishi e-government projects; Jinjiang and Dehua Unified Command System projects and Jinjiang Society Medical Insurance Information System project (collectively referred to as the” Main Contracts”);. Pursuant to the terms of the Main Contracts, the Company must provide free warranty services for one year commencing from the date the respective projects are delivered to the management companies appointed by the respective governments (the “Management Companies”) after passing of the construction completion acceptance checks of the projects.  There is no one year warranty under the terms of the main contracts of the Jinjiang E-government Training and Maintenance projects nor under the main contract of the Ningbo Design and Planning project.

Except for the completion dates of Jinjiang (1st Phase) and Dehua (2nd Phase) projects which have passed, the completion dates of the other projects are still to come.  However, the two projects referenced above have been completed within the contemplated completion date.

During the warranty period, the Company must send its staff to the locations for repair within 24 hours after receiving notice of repair from the Management Companies and if the problem cannot be fixed with 48 hours, the Company should unconditionally provide back-up systems.  If the Company does not comply, the Management Companies could perform the repairs by their own staff and charge all the expenses and losses against the Company. During the initial 30 days of usage of the system, the Company must also sent qualified and experienced technicians to stay on-site to handle any emergency issues that may arise. After the free one year warranty period, the parties can negotiate for renewal of the maintenance services under new terms and conditions.

The costs of providing the free warranty services are the wages of the personnel of the maintenance group. The number of people ranges from 5 to 8 persons and their monthly salary is approximately RMB5,000.00 (US$600.00) each.

The Company’s customers are mainly the various city or county governments in China.  Currently, the customers of the Company are the city governments in Jinjiang, Dehua, Huian, Nan’an , Lichen, Shishi and Ningbo.

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 was commenced in February 2006 and will last for a period of about 2 years.

Employees

As of May 31, 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.  

41


 

(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.

Intellectual Property

We believe 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, we designed several platforms and software programs and retains the copyrights thereof.  These copyrights, if any, exist under Chinese law. We currently have not applied for and do not hold any patents or copyright registrations relating to any of our products and services but are evaluating the economic value against the costs of registering these rights as new platforms and software programs would be designed for each new e-government project without reusing the already existing platforms and software programs. The Company believes that it has the intellectual property rights that exist in the platforms and software programs that it specifically designed or developed for the city governments. The right to use these platforms and software programs are granted to the customers but not the ownership to the platforms and software programs. As each platform and software program is specifically designed for a particular city government and is not applicable to another entity, there does not exist any explicit agreement with respect to this.

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

Our market is presently in China. 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 China.

Our customers are presently city governments in China.  When we submit tender for an e-government contract, we  submit a feasibility report for that particular city government for assessments and approval.

In China, the procurement for government’s material and projects, including e-government projects, is done by various types of bidding.

The first type is open bidding. The Chinese Government instructs a bidding agent to post the relevant open bidding notice on a specific procurement web-site (www.ccgp.gov.cn). Every interested bidder has to fill out a bidding form which includes the proposal of the bidder on the procurement web-site and paying an application fee. The bidding agent gathers the information obtained from the procurement web-site and delivers it to the relevant government department for further investigation and evaluation of the bidder’s qualification. The decision is made according to the qualification of the bidder, the contents of their proposals, as well as costs involved.

The second type of bidding is invited bidding. For certain kinds of projects, including the Company’s Jinjiang e-government projects, the Chinese government first conducts an investigation and evaluation on targeted service providers of the intended services. Then, via the bidding agent, the government invites the service providers that it believes to be qualified to tender their proposals and bidding applications.  Just as open bidding, the decision of the government is made on the qualification of the bidders, the contents of their proposals and costs involved. In the Company’s case, a feasibility report would also be submitted to the city government.

The feasibility report is a report that the Company prepares as part of the consulting services that it provides to the target city government. In the feasibility report, in order to analyze whether the target city government is suitable to construct the e-government system, the Company performs a site visit to the target city government to examine and analyze the information technology infrastructure, resources and potential risk that it would face if the e-government project is constructed.  The Company gathers data, performs an analysis and advises the target city if the e-government is suitable to be constructed, and if so, a full planning of the whole e-government construction project would be included.  In some cases, the Company advises on how a target city can overcome a hindrance to e-government.

Research And Development

We did not carry out any research and development activities in 2005, and do not have any specific plans for research and development in 2006.  Each and every e-government system that the Company constructs with the respective city government is tailored to the specific needs and requirements of that specific city government. As such, any new intellectual property rights would be developed under a new e-government contract, and the costs of such development would be booked as the project costs and included in the cost of revenue in relation to the new contract. Therefore, the Company is able to develop a new system for a specific e-government project without spending on research and development.

On February 26, 2004, Expert Network (Shenzhen) Company Limited (“ENS”), a subsidiary of the Company entered into a Strategic Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Macro Business Limited (the “Consultant”).

On January 2, 2006, ENS entered into a Supplementary Agreement (the “Supplementary Agreement”) with China e-Internet Technologies Limited (“e-Internet”).

On March 2, 2006, the ENS entered into a consulting agreement with FuJian International Consultants Limited (the “FuJian International Agreement”).

Under the FuJian International Agreement, the Company agreed to paid a commission equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the estimated gross profit to be earned by ENS on any e-government contracts sourced by FuJian International. The estimated gross profit is to be determined by the ENS in its sole discretion. No commission will be payable to FuJian International for future phrase of the original contract or any future contracts executed by ENS with the same city government.

CHINA EXPERT TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PREPARATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of China Expert Technology, Inc (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim consolidated financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive consolidated financial statements.

In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 have been made.  It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005.  The Company follows the same accounting policies in preparation of interim reports.

Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year.

NOTE 2 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company continues to be engaged in the provision of system integration services, consultancy services and agency services.  The Company’s revenues for the quarter period presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements and two years prior to this quarter were mainly derived from the provision of system integration for establishment of e-Government information system and network to local government bodies in Fujian Province of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).

NOTE 3 - 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.

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.


F-5


 

CHINA EXPERT TECHNOLOGY, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)


NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Use of estimates

The preparation of the 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 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.

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

   

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.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

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.

During 2005, 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.

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.

Revenue recognition

97% 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.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Revenue recognition (Cont’d)

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$2,464,900 and nil for the period ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Comprehensive income

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

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

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$”) as the reporting currency.  Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at period end dates. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing for each of the periods.  Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rate from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income”.  Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translations are included in other comprehensive income.  The exchange rate between the RMB and the US$ and used for the period ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 were RMB8.0170 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.

Stock-based compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS No.123R”), and selected the modified prospective method to initially report stock-based compensation amounts in the consolidated financial statements.  The Company adopted the market price of common stock at issuance date to determine the fair value of common stock issued to employees as compensation.   The Company did not grant any options during the period ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.

The Company adopted the China Expert Technology, Inc. Stock Compensation Program (the “ Program”) and reserved up to 800,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Program.  The purpose of the Program is to attract and retain key employees, consultants and other persons, and to provide such key individuals with an additional incentive to contribute to the success of the Company.   

During the period ended March 31, 2006, the Company issued 800,000 shares of common stock to employees as a compensation for services.  The issued shares are unrestricted and transferable at issuance.  At issuance date, the market price of common stock was US$2.09 per share and all the related employees’ benefit amounted to US$1,672,000 was recorded in general and administrative expense.  

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 adoption of SFAS No. 154 does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

Recently issued accounting pronouncements (Cont’d)

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 No. 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 No. 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.

CHINA EXPERT TECHNOLOGY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 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.

F-26


 

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.

NOTE 3.  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.

F-27


 

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.

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.

F-28


 

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.

F-29


 

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.

F-30


 

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.

RESTATEMENT AND RECLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D)


Adjustment number:

(1)

In conjunction with the Exchange as mentioned in Note 3 below, CXTI also issued a total 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 and the additional paid-in capital was increased by the same amount.  The net income per share for 2004 was reduced from US$0.33 to US$0.20 per share and net loss per share for 2002 was increased from US$0.04 to US$0.05 per share.  This adjustment had no impact on net cash provided by operating activities reported in the 2004, 2003 and 2002 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 and US$3,836,106 of the 2003’s and 2002’s common stock was reallocated to the additional paid-in capital of the Company.

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, 2003 and 2002.


(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 and 2003 have been restated by reporting the gross amounts instead of a net amount on the 2004 and 2003 consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, amount due from a former officer was restated at US$2,022,525 and US$1,741,721 and amount due to a former officer was restated at US$2,137,881 and US$1,646,934 respectively.


3.

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 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 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.

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 (“US$”) 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.


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 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)


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 recognized 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.


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$1,101,205, US$6,501 and US$48,537 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Comprehensive income


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

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)


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.


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 (“US$”) 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.


The details of the Group’s defined contribution pension plans are disclosed in note 18 to the consolidated financial statements.


(iv)

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.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)

To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

(i)

Include any Prospectus required by Sections 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”);

(ii)

Reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of Prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement;

(iii)

Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution;

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the bona fide offering thereof.

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
