EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) on Form 10-Q/A, which amends and restates items identified below with respect to the Form 10-Q filed by ZST Digital Networks, Inc. (“we” or the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 14, 2010 (the “Original Filing”), is being filed to reflect revisions to Item 4 (Controls and Procedures).  This Amendment contains only the sections to the Original Filing which are being amended, and those unaffected parts or exhibits are not included herein.
 
As a result of this Amendment, the certifications pursuant to Section 302 and Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, filed as exhibits to our Original Filing have been revised, re-executed and re-filed as of the date of this Amendment. Except for the foregoing amended and restated information, this Amendment continues to describe conditions as of the date of the Original Filing, and the disclosures contained herein have not been updated to reflect events, results or developments that have occurred after the Original Filing, or to modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events unless otherwise indicated in this report. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Original Filing have not been revised to reflect events, results or developments that have occurred or facts that have become known to us after the date of the Original Filing, and such forward-looking statements should be read in their historical context. This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Company’s filings made with the SEC subsequent to the Original Filing, including any amendments to those filings.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Based on an evaluation carried out as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were not effective as of March 31, 2010.   
 
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company's financial reporting.  Our management has identified the following significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting:
 
·  
We have an inadequate number of accounting personnel and, with the exception of our CFO, our staff within our finance department and accounting group in the PRC do not have adequate expertise in generally accepted accounting principals and the securities laws of the United States to ensure proper application thereof.  Although our accounting staff is professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generally accepted in the PRC, management has determined that they require additional training and assistance in US GAAP matters; and

·  
Our internal audit function is deficient due to insufficient qualified resources to perform internal audit functions.

We believe the following actions we plan to take will be sufficient to remediate the significant deficiencies described above:
 
·  
We have engaged a third-party internal controls consultant to assist the Company to address issues of timeliness and completeness in financial reporting when we are preparing SEC filings;

·  
We will implement an initiative to ensure the importance of internal controls and compliance with established policies and procedures are fully understood throughout our company;

·  
We will provide training to our employees to ensure these procedures are properly performed; and

·  
We will evaluate hiring additional personnel involved in the preparation of the financial statements and disclosures with the requisite expertise in generally accepted accounting principals to ensure the proper application thereof.

Management believes the actions described above will remediate the significant deficiencies we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. While these remedial actions have previously been identified, the necessary operational and personnel weaknesses were not alleviated in fiscal 2009.  Our management intends to substantially complete these identified remedial actions during fiscal 2010.
 
If the result of our remediation of the identified significant deficiencies is not successful, or if additional significant deficiencies are identified in our internal control over financial reporting, our management will be unable to report favorably as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and/or our disclosure controls and procedures, and we could be required to restate our financial statements, implement expensive and time-consuming remedial measures and potentially lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports which could have an adverse effect on our stock price and potentially subject us to litigation. As we implement remediation measures, we may supplement or modify them as described above.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Based on the evaluation of our management as required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
