PART I

Item 1: Description of Business

Organization and Nature of Operations

Elephant Talk Communications, Inc. (herein referred to as "Elephant Talk," "ETCI," "We," "Our," or "Company" formerly known as Staruni Corporation), was incorporated on February 5, 1962 under the laws of the state of California as Altius Corporation. The Company was involved in manufacturing of freeway signs. In March 1997, Altius acquired Starnet Universe Internet, Inc., a web developer and Internet Service Provider (ISP) and changed its name to Staruni Corporation.

Pursuant to an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization, effective August 27, 2001, and through the subsequent transaction that closed on January 4, 2002, Staruni Corporation, a California corporation merged with Elephant Talk Limited, a limited liability company incorporated in Hong Kong. Per the terms of the merger agreement, Staruni continued its corporate existence under the laws of California and Elephant Talk Limited became its wholly-owned subsidiary. In conjunction with the merger, Staruni changed its name to Elephant Talk Communications, Inc. in order to emphasize that the new focus of ETCI will be the business of Elephant Talk Limited. Each holder of ordinary shares of Elephant Talk Limited common stock, par value of HK$1 (One Hong Kong Dollar) immediately prior to the effective time of the merger date, by virtue of the merger and without any action on the part of such holder, was entitled to receive, as of the merger date, such number of shares of common stock of ETCI, no par value, as the number of shares of Elephant Talk Limited common stock owned by such holder as of the merger date. Collectively, following the merger, the former holders of Elephant Talk Limited common stock held 31,164,210 shares of our common stock, which represented 90% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock at the time. The merger caused no change in any of the shares of the ETCI's common stock outstanding on the merger date, and no other securities were converted as a result of the merger. At the conclusion of the merger on January 4, 2002, The Hartcourt Companies, Inc. ("Hartcourt") retained a majority ownership in ETCI.

Per the terms of the merger agreement, the Company sold its Internet Service Provider ("ISP") business to a related party, Vision Aerospace Inc. ("Vision") for 1,000,000 shares of Vision valued at $10,385. Vision is owned by the former President of the Company. The value of the shares was recorded at the book value of the assets exchanged to acquire the shares of Vision.

Pursuant to the terms of the share exchange agreement, control of the combined companies passed to the former shareholders of Elephant Talk Limited.

Prior to the merger, Elephant Talk Limited was a 51% owned subsidiary of Hartcourt, a publicly listed company in the US and Germany. On May 16, 2001, Hartcourt and Elephant Talk Limited executed a Sale and Purchase Agreement whereby Hartcourt acquired 51% of the ownership interest in Elephant Talk Limited for a total consideration of $4,194,000. The terms of the agreement required Elephant Talk Limited to increase its authorized capital from 25,000,000 shares to 30,000,000 shares. Hartcourt subscribed to a block of 5,000,000 new shares; issued 1,000,000 Hartcourt shares under Rule 144 of the SEC regulations, valued at 61.9 cents per share; and executed a promissory note payable to Elephant Talk Limited in the amount of $1,250,000 due on February 16, 2002, which was further extended for payment to May 31, 2002. In addition, Hartcourt subscribed to another block of 10,300,000 Elephant Talk Limited shares from private owners for a consideration of $2,325,000 and issued 3,756,058 Hartcourt shares under Rule 144 for a combined total of 51% ownership interest in Elephant Talk Limited.

Pursuant to an execution of a Spin-Off Agreement, dated September 12, 2002, and through the subsequent transactions that closed on January 4, 2003, the Company terminated its relationship with Hartcourt. Pursuant to the terms of the Spin-Off Agreement, the Company received from Hartcourt 17,895,579 of its common shares held by Hartcourt and $349,000 in cash advances, in exchange for returning 4,756,000 common shares of Hartcourt held by the Company and its affiliates, canceling two promissory notes of Hartcourt held by the Company and its affiliate in the respective amounts of $1,250,000 and $140,595, and canceling the indebtedness of cash advances by issuing 5,000,000 of its restricted common shares to Hartcourt. In addition to executing the Spin-Off Agreement, the parties executed a mutual release to end their relationship and place each other in a position whereby no party is indebted to the other party.

On April 3, 2004, the Company signed a Share Exchange Agreement with its intent to acquire 60% of the equity ownership interest in Urumqi General Systems Technology Company Ltd. (known as "General System" or "WestSMS"), a leading provider of mobile SMS services in the resource rich province of Xinjiang, China. On January 5, 2005, the Company completed the above acquisition where it formed True Precise Technology Limited ("True Precise"), a limited liability company registered in British Virgin Islands, as its investment holding company, that acquired 60% of the equity ownership interest in General System from Keen Solution Group Limited ("Keen Solution"), a limited liability company registered under the laws of British Virgin Islands. As consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued 23,137,500 restricted common shares valued at $1,436,875 for its 60% equity interest. Upon completion of the transaction, True Precise became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and General System became a majority owned subsidiary of True Precise. On August 8, 2005, Keen Solution sent notification informing the Company that it has unilaterally decided to terminate the Share Exchange Agreement. The Company placed a stop transfer restriction on all of the 23,137,500 common shares it issued to Keen Solution. The Company has treated True Precise’s transaction as discontinued operation and has recorded 23,137,500 common shares as cancelled shares as of December 31, 2005. Of those shares, 20,137,500 have been returned to the Company’s treasury, and the Company continues to pursue the return of the remainder. The Company has evaluated its legal options in connection with the termination of the Share Exchange Agreement and came to the conclusion that a mutual rescission of the agreement was in the Company’s best interest. The Company still continues to pursue the return of 3,000,000 common shares from Keen Solution. In May 2006, True Precise ceased its existence as it discontinued its operations. The Company recorded $1,923 in expenses of True Precise under general and administrative expenses as of the date of cease of operations in May 2006.

On January 17, 2005, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Beltrust AG, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Switzerland (“Beltrust”), to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Benoit Telecom Holding AG, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Switzerland (“Benoit Telecom”). Benoit Telecom is a European-based telecom company. On November 17, 2006, the Company executed an Agreement of Purchase and Sale (the “Agreement”), with Beltrust and Elephant Talk Europe B.V. (“ET Europe”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of The Netherlands, and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, providing for the purchase and sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Benoit Telecom by ET Europe.

Pursuant to the Agreement, ET Europe agreed to purchase from Beltrust all of the 100,000 issued and outstanding shares of Elephant Talk Communications Holding AG, formerly known as Benoit Telecom, in exchange for a) cash payment of $6,643,080 and b) 40,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The parties acknowledged that $6,043,080 (equivalent to approximately Euros 4,625,000) had been previously paid by the Company on behalf of the ET Europe to an escrow agent as an earnest deposit. In addition, the parties agreed that the remaining balance of the consideration consisting of $600,000 of cash payment and 40,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company to be transferred to Beltrust within 30 days of the closing. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has issued 40,000,000 shares of its common stock to the assignee of Beltrust, and the cash consideration of $600,000 remains unpaid. The 100,000 shares of Elephant Talk Communications Holding AG were transferred to ET Europe as of the closing pursuant to the Agreement. The parties executed the transaction contemplated by the Agreement on November 17, 2006 to be made effective as of January 1, 2007. Benoit Telecom is a telecommunications service provider that provides various premium rate services such as 0900 service and VoIP services to corporations and content providers within the Europe. The Company believes that it can extract considerable synergies with this acquisition by integrating its VOIP platforms and extend its reach from China to Europe and vice-versa.

The Company agreed to compensate RWC by issuing additional restricted shares of common stock as compensation for the failed acquisitions of True Precise being the representation made by the Company in the Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 30, 2005 between the Company and RWC. As a result of not concluding the acquisition, the Company agreed to issue RWC an additional 254,546,313 to bring RWC’s investment to equal 72.5% of total outstanding shares of the Company as of December 28, 2006. Such issuance will result in RWC owning a total of 554,493,708 shares of Company’s common stock, including the shares already issued to RWC.

Pursuant to the terms of an agency agreement in connection with its acquisition of Phonetone Telecom Ltd. (“Phonetone”) from Calfin Trust, the Company agreed to issue 40,000,000 restricted common shares, pay a cash consideration of $600,000, and share 15% of the yearly total profit margin generated by the Company or any of its affiliated companies from the Phonetone’s premium rate numbers in the years 2006, 2007 and 2008. Phonetone is a European telecom service provider registered in the British Virgin Islands with administrative offices in Vaduz, Furstentum, Liechtenstein.

The Company advanced $225,562 and 20,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $720,000 to Calfin Trust as an earnest deposit towards the proposed acquisition of Phonetone. On October 30, 2006, the Company and Calfin Trust mutually agreed to terminate the proposed acquisition of Phonetone and executed a Rescission Agreement. The Company received cash consideration of $80,000 of earned deposits on November 6, 2006 and received and cancelled 20,000,000 shares of its common stock on December 27, 2006. The remaining cash balance of $145,562 of earnest deposits still remains outstanding and to be returned to the Company.

On April 20, 2005, the Company formed a joint venture Free Zone Limited Liability company to be incorporated in the Dubai Technology, Electronic Commerce and Media Free Zone, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) under the name Elephant Talk Middle East & Africa FZ-LLC (“ET ME&A”). The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Elephant Talk Limited, has incorporated this joint venture company on November 6, 2005 and contributed $50,953 towards its 50.54% equity share capital in the joint venture company as of December 31, 2006.

On July 11, 2005, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Elephant Talk Limited formed Full Mark Limited, a limited liability company organized under the laws of British Virgin Islands, to facilitate acquisitions for the Company in China. On December 13, 2005, Full Mark formed a wholly owned subsidiary Jinfuyi Technology (Beijing) Co. Ltd. (“Jinfuyi”), a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the Peoples’ Republic of China, with a registered capital of $200,000.

On January 2, 2006, Jinfuyi and Beijing Chinawind Telecommunication Information Technology Company Limited, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Peoples’ Republic of China (“Beijing Chinawind”), entered into an Exclusive Technical Consulting and Services Agreement (the ”Service Agreement”), pursuant to which Jinfuyi has the exclusive right to provide technical and consulting services in exchange for services fees of approximately $4,875,000 per year, subject to the right of Jinfuyi to adjust the service fee depending on the quantity of the services that it actually provides.

On January 4, 2006, Guangdong Elephant Talk Network Consulting Limited, a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the Peoples’ Republic of China (“Guangdong Elephant Talk”) and an agent of the Company, and Beijing Zhongrun Chuangtou Technology Co., Ltd., a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the Peoples’ Republic of China (the “Vendor”), entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement (the ”Agreement”), pursuant to which Guangdong Elephant Talk agreed to acquire sixty percent (60%) of the registered capital of Beijing Chinawind.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the purchase price for 60% of Beijing Chinawind was agreed to $4,800,000, subject to adjustments based on Beijing Chinawind’s audited net income for fiscal 2005 and 2006, and is payable (x) in cash of $2,800,000 in five installments the last of which is to be paid on January 31, 2007, and (y) by the issuance by the Company through its agent to the Vendor of 20,000,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $0.10 per share, in four equal installments the last of which is to be issued on January 31, 2007. The Vendor has the right to exercise an option within 30 days after July 31, 2007 to return the 20,000,000 shares of restricted common stock either in exchange for a 25% equity interest in Beijing Chinawind or for settlement in cash within 90 days.

The purchase price was financed by a combination of issuing its common stock and making payments in cash from internal sources, mainly from the $3.5 million of proceeds advanced to date under the terms of a Convertible Promissory Note issued to Rising Water Capital on December 15, 2005. The terms of the Agreement imposed several contractual restrictions on the operations of Beijing Chinawind. In addition to other contractual restrictions, Guangdong Elephant Talk had the right to appoint three of five Board of Directors of the Beijing Chinawind.

On September 25, 2006, the Vendor and a minority shareholder of Beijing Chinawind, filed two lawsuits against Guangdong Elephant Talk in the Beijing Civil Courts. The lawsuit alleges a) that the agent Guangdong Elephant Talk failed to pay the remaining consideration of $787,748 under an Equity Transfer Agreement, dated January 4, 2006 (the “Agreement”), between Guangdong Elephant Talk and Beijing Zhongrun, which provided for the acquisition by Guangdong Elephant Talk from Beijing Zhongrun of 60% of the registered capital of Beijing Chinawind; and b) that Guangdong Elephant Talk induced the minority shareholders of Beijing Chinawind to accept, pursuant to the Agreement, consideration of $1,000,000 through the issuance of 10,000,000 common shares of the Company valued at $0.10 per common share. The lawsuit further alleges that Chinese law prohibits citizens of the People’s Republic of China from accepting shares of companies listed on the United States Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board Quotation Service, which is regulated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., as compensation in an acquisition transaction. Beijing Zhongrun has demanded that Guangdong Elephant Talk exchange the issued stock for $1,000,000, pay the outstanding payment under the Agreement and compensate Beijing Zhongrun for breach of contract in the sum of RMB524,664 (approximately $64,773). In the alternative, Beijing Zhongrun has asked the Court to void the Agreement and award compensation to Beijing Zhongrun for its economic loss in the amount of RMB6,591,000 (approximately $813,704). It is important to note that the lawsuits are not against ETCI and merely against the agent of the Company.

The Company has retained a legal counsel licensed to practice civil law in the People’s Republic of China who has advised the Company that Beijing Zhongrun's lawsuits are not supported by valid facts nor have sufficient legal evidence. Accordingly, the Company considers that the claims of Beijing Zhongrun are not against the Company and are without merit. The Company is vigorously defending these lawsuits. In November 2006, the Company decided to abandon its investment in Beijing Chinawind due to loss of control.

In order to successfully carry out its operations, the Company agreed to sell to Rising Water Capital, A.G., a company registered in Zug, Switzerland (“Rising Water Capital”) pursuant to the execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement, 195,947,395 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $7,837,896. The Stock Purchase Agreement provided that Rising Water Capital would be entitled to appoint six out of eleven directors of the Company. In addition, Rising Water Capital agreed to retain the current management of the Company for a five year term. The purpose of this transaction was to enable Rising Water Capital to infuse capital so that the Company could complete its pending acquisitions.

On June 30, 2005, Rising Water Capital closed the purchase of a total of 100,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.04 per share, representing 49.2% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of common stock of 203,107,170. Inasmuch as the total authorized number of shares of common stock of the Company was 250,000,000 shares, management could not sell and therefore, Rising Water Capital was unable to purchase the remaining 95,947,395 shares.

- 8 -

 
On December 15, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the execution and delivery of a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $3.5 million (the “Note”) to Rising Water Capital, in exchange for a loan in the same principal amount to be drawn down in stages. The Note is convertible during the term, in whole or in part, into common shares of the Company at the conversion price of three and one-half cents ($0.035) of principal amount per share of common stock. The agreement to issue additional shares was conditional subject to the Company obtaining approval for the increase in authorized common shares. Since the Company has not received the approval to increase its authorized common shares and that condition has not been fulfilled as of December 31, 2006, the Company is not obliged to issue additional shares. The Company received funding of all of the $3.5 million against the Note by January 26, 2006. Assuming that the Note is fully converted into common stock, the Company would be obligated to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock to Rising Water Capital as of December 31, 2006. None of the principal amount of the Note has been converted into shares of common stock.

On May 26, 2006, the Company executed a second Convertible Promissory Note (the “2nd Note”) in the principal sum of $3,000,000 with Rising Water Capital. The 2nd Note has a term of thirty (30) months, during which time interest on the Principal Amount will accrue from the date of this 2nd Note at an annual interest rate of 10%. The 2nd Note will be paid in full at the end of the thirty month term with a balloon payment of principal and interest accrued. The 2nd Note shall be convertible during the term, in whole or in part, into common shares at the conversion price of seven cents ($0.07) per share provided, however, that this 2nd Note shall not be convertible during the term when the Company has insufficient authorized common shares to issue to the 2nd Note holder when a demand for conversion is made. The 2nd Note is secured by shares owned or to be owned by the Company in the entities Beijing Chinawind, ET ME&A Holding and ET ME&A. This Note is secured by the shares owned or to be owned by the Company in its proposed acquisitions of entities for which the Company has made earnest deposits. The Company has received the principal balance of $2,025,221 against the 2nd Note as of December 31, 2006 and further received cash consideration of $569,520 as of April 14, 2007.

In connection with the termination of the True Precise acquisition and cancellation of 20,137,500 shares of common stock issued to True Precise, the Company agreed to reissue to Rising Water Capital all of the 23,137,500 common shares received or to be received, as additional compensation for this failed acquisition. The successful consummation of the True Precise acquisition had been a condition of Rising Water Capital's obligation to purchase 195,947,395 shares of common stock pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated June 30, 2005. The Company agreed to compensate RWC by issuing 23,137,500 additional restricted shares of common stock as compensation for the failed acquisitions of True Precise being the representation made by the Company in the Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 30, 2005 between the Company and RWC.

Background of Elephant Talk Limited

Established in late 1994, Elephant Talk Limited is located and operated in Hong Kong. The Company was previously a provider of international call termination into China. However, due to the extreme competitive nature of this market, the Company has chosen to abandon this strategy.

Elephant Talk Limited is currently engaged in long distance telephone business but is actively pursuing to position itself as a telecommunications services and multimedia distribution company. It is the company’s ambition to develop and exploit a highly flexible, fully standardized and integrated global telecommunications network on the basis of national licenses & interconnects which are owned or accessed through partnerships. Through an integrated platform to be built around this network it is ETCI’s intention to offer its clients a turnkey solution for basic, commoditized (voice) telecommunication services, premium rate services, content provision and payment provision.

Eventually covering the full range of services from (IP based) telecommunications services to content delivery and billing and operating its own global communications network, ETCI will be able to bring these communications services and content to the customer, collect payments, and allocate those payments to all parties involved in the distribution chain. To realize the above mentioned goals, on January 17, 2005 the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Benoit Telecom Holding A.G. (“Benoit Telecom”), a European telecom company from Beltrust A.G. In the fall of 2006, Elephant Talk Communications Inc. executed a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement to complete the acquisition on November 17, 2006 to be effective as of January 1, 2007.

Benoit Telecom is a telecommunications service provider that provides various premium rate services such as 0900 service and VoIP services to corporations and content providers within the European Union. The Company believes that it can extract considerable synergies with this acquisition by integrating its VOIP platforms and extend its reach from China to Europe and vice-versa.

Technology Infrastructure

Our VoIP calling card platform has been designed as a PSTN switch with VoIP functions, and enables the Group to provide a robust, reliable and quick prepaid product. Its architecture includes a backbone switching mechanism that offers an integration of circuit-switched and packet-switched networks, and automatically detects and adopts the best routing available having regard to carrier cost and QoS. With the simultaneous use of VoIP and PSTN switching, the company is able to achieve lower routing costs through VoIP functionality while retaining stable connections and QoS offered by PSTN platform.

This VoIP system and other voice related network infrastructure is installed at the Company's Network Operation Centre in Kwun Tong, Hong Kong. The Company's integrated network infrastructure comprises of a combination of voice switches (connected to telephone systems of external carriers) and VoIP gateways (connected to the Internet) connecting to each other through its private telephone exchange system(s) ("PBX"). The configuration enables the company to provide telecommunication services to its customers on a 24x7 basis.

Markets and Customers

Our eTalk calling card has attracted a dedicated group of HK-China business commuters that have successfully realized substantial savings from call back to HK as well as other parts of the world as they travel throughout China.

We continue to provide some international call termination services to China and other parts of Asia to other carriers around the world. However, due to the competitiveness of the market, revenues have all but disappeared and attention to this segment has slowly diminished throughout the course of 2004 and 2005.

PC-to-phone service, eTalk

In Asian Pacific markets, especially China, where deregulation is relatively limited compared to the U.S., we believe that our customers will look for opportunities to lower their long distance bills. This creates what we believe is an interesting opportunity for us to the Asian Pacific Market by using the Internet to transmit phone calls.

In order to take advantage of this opportunity, it is our intention to deliver high-quality voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephony services to small and medium businesses in the Far East. Accompanying the growth of PCs and use of the Internet, we believe the market potential is huge. Our solution provides many benefits to its customers, including:

·  
Low Cost. Our services allow its customers to make telephone calls often at a fraction of the cost of traditional long distance service. Our low cost PC-to-phone service is also available all over the world.

·  
High Voice Quality. We offer carrier-grade voice quality through proprietary packet-switching technologies, which reduces packet loss and delay, route packets efficiently and perform quality-enhancing functions, such as echo cancellation and massive redundancy. We intend to continue to enhance the voice quality of our services as our customer base and business grows.

·  
Ease of Use and Access. Our services are designed to be convenient and easy to access. No additional telephone lines or special equipment are required.

·  
Reliable Service. Elephant Talk Limited developed its own PC client software and Gatekeeper. Our network is reliable because of its technologically advanced design. This flexible design allows us to expand our network and add capacity by adding switches/spans to the existing network. Our system also provides seamless service and high-quality voice transmission through its ability to reroute if problems arise.

·  
Scalability. Our services platform is a flexible solution that can be readily integrated at low cost and in large scale into existing systems. Our system integrates quickly and seamlessly into the platforms of various communications service providers such as medium to large carriers, ISPs, and enterprises.

- 11 -


We will be able to provide our PC-to-Phone service at rates generally lower than those charged for traditional circuit switched calls. We will be able to charge lower rates because its service utilizes packet-switched technology and it routes calls directly from the Internet onto our privately-managed IP network and to the called destination, thus avoiding access and settlement rates associated with traditional international and domestic long distance telecommunications services.

We believe that reliable and flexible billing, information management, monitoring and control are critical to our success, and support all of our services. Accordingly, we have invested substantial resources to develop and implement our sophisticated real-time call management information system. Key features of this system include:

·  
customer provisioning;
·  
customer access;
·  
call routing;
·  
call monitoring; and
·  
detailed call records.

Business Strategy for 2007 and Beyond

Growth Strategy, in general

Continuing to reposition the Company, in 2006, management has been actively seeking other business opportunities to steer the Company away from the extremely competitive and virtually no margin market of international call termination to the more profitable, growing though still competitive, and mobile value added services market globally.

The Company intends to continue on this path of repositioning by further acquisition of a controlling stake in profitable companies in the year 2007 and beyond. The Company has successfully ended discussions to acquire certain activities in Europe as well as the formation of new entities in the Middle East:

·  
Benoit, a European based carrier that provides wholesale, free phone, Carrier Select and Carrier Pre-Select calls and various premium number rate services, such as 0900 service and VoIP services to corporations and content providers within the European Union. The Company believes that we can extract considerable synergies with them by integrating our VoIP platforms and extend our reach from China into Europe and vice-versa.

·  
Elephant Talk Middle East & Africa, a newly incorporated telecom and related services operator in the Middle East. Presently, the unit is applying for the international telecommunication service license, value added service license and internet service provider license in various countries. We intend to progressively build a comprehensive IP network to cover most of the Middle East countries.

The Company’s interest and as a result its attention for China continues. We believe that a business position in China eventually will be beneficial to the Company as the telecommunications industry in China experiences continuous growth along with the development and modernizations of its economy. As customers' needs become more sophisticated and price-sensitive, the market demand for a service like eTalk is expected to increase. The Accession to WTO makes the demand for international calling services even bigger. We rely on an increasingly transparent regulatory environment in China through her Telecommunications Regulations, and its gradual opening up of the domestic market to foreign participation which should create massive opportunities that facilitate progress toward an improved operating environment.

With the acquisition of Benoit Telecom and the formation of Middle East Telecommunications Company, the Company will expand its world wide network into the European and Middle East countries. The reach into the European network provides the Company with a better opportunity to lower its termination cost to some European countries and enables ET to assert better quality control over the network and its associated elements. It is our aim to leverage on our world wide network to provide the best voice quality at competitive price in the industry.

- 12 -


To achieve its mission, ETCI is planning to build a worldwide content distribution and telecommunications network through the acquisition or exchange of licenses and agreements for interconnection with national incumbents in a bilateral way. These licenses and agreements include originating traffic, terminating traffic and debt collection. The Company’s strategy allows for a rapid expansion of its footprint at a low cost and low investment to a number of countries in Europe, Middle East and Far East..

Once access will be established in a target market, ETCI will provide customers with telephone services, long distance carrier services, Internet services, content distribution facilities, and multimedia applications in combination with a sophisticated Customer Relation Management and Billing Application. In this way, customers will be able to resell services of ETCI under their own brand name. ETCI thus continuously will increase its portfolio with a broader range of value-added services.

The Management of the Company believes that reliable and flexible billing, information management, monitoring and control are critical to the Company’s success. Accordingly, ETCI will invest substantial resources to develop and implement a sophisticated real-time management information system. Key features of this system will include:

·  
Reliability
·  
Remote Management
·  
Accommodating to all current and future payment methods
·  
A global reach
·  
Fully compliant with the legal framework in each market
·  
Standardized technology
·  
Rapid deployment of services
 
The strategy will be executed at a lower cost and lower investment than is normally required through the application of a small organizational structure, the remote control of switches in each country in which ETCI is operational, the use of company-owned innovative technology, and the continuous search for optimal balance between quality of services and operational costs.

(i)  
Product Strategy

ETCI is planning to offer a complete range of wholesale products and services for multimedia content distribution and generating revenue, including:

·  
Voice and Data based services (Carrier Select, Carrier PreSelect, Least Cost Routing, Toll Free, Premium Rate, Calling cards)
·  
IP based services (VOIP, Multimedia via Mediaphone fixed and mobile, WiFi, WiMax)
·  
Text based services (SMS), MMS
·  
Mobile downloads such as Ringtones, games and canned messages, music and streaming video.
·  
Value Added Services. In order to invoice the services and products over the network, ETCI is developing an integrated CRM/Billing/Backoffice, integrated with Payment Gateways, facilitating end-user payments via Credit/Debit Cards, Direct Debit and Prepaid Cards.

It is the Company’s intention to offer these products either separately or as a bundled package.

(b)  
Partners

As a result of the converging of IT and telecom solutions the amount of engagement between ETCI partners and its various partners has increased. On the client side, resellers have evolved from indirect channels to true partners bringing specialist market knowledge, customer focus and a geographical reach to its activities.

- 13 -


As a key element of our low-cost and fast deployment strategy, ETCI make extensive use of partners in all layers of our Multimedia distribution platform. ETCI can distinguish the following partners:

·  
ET Exchange Partners secure network access and interconnection on a local basis.
·  
Network Access Partners provide the backbone infrastructure of our network
·  
Content Partners are partners as well as clients. They provide content for distribution through our network on one hand. On the other hand ETCI provide them the means to exploit their content and generate revenue
·  
For our Payment partners, the same can be said. Through their clearing houses and platforms ETCI are able to get paid by the end-customer , using any form of payment. For Payment partners, working with ET translates directly in expanding their customer base.

(c)  
Goals and Competences

The main objective of ETCI is to become a leading Global Multimedia Telecom Services and Content Distributor. ETCI aims to optimally exploit its global telecommunications network (core backbone with switches), leveraging its expertise and established relationships with carriers in Europe, Middle East & Africa and the Asian-Pacific region to pursue early entry into selected deregulating markets.

The Company’s unique set of core competences include:

·  
ETCI’s ability to operate a high quality telecom and content delivery services network at extremely low costs,
·  
Innovative integration of IT technology and Telecommunications
·  
ETCI’s exchange approach to obtaining operators licenses in key countries.

(i)  
Regional Goals

·  
Europe (wholesale and retail)

As Europe is a more mature market and therefore highly competitive, ETCI plans to deploy its services using a wholesale approach and establish itself either through Joint Ventures or through company acquisitions in order to avoid high investments costs. ETCI’s European objective is to be established in the following countries by the end of 2007: Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Greece, Portugal and the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland and Spain.

·  
Middle East & Africa

Our Objective in the Middle East and Africa is to be present in three (3) countries (Bahrain, Jordon and Egypt) by the end of 2007.

·  
Far East (wholesale market-china, new markets)

Our objective in the Far East is to activate our fiber network in China by 2008 and subsequently to obtain all required licenses in China.

(ii)  
Development Goals

Next to the development of its Network and its increasing presence in several countries in Europe, Middle East and Far East, it is the company’s intention to

·  
Increase e-invoicing level to 100%
·  
Further development of the functionalities of our MediaPhone for mobiles, PC’as and other devices;
·  
Development/Launch of a Mini Portal with China Telecom
·  
Further development and integration of CRM-billing within the ET Global Exchange

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a great deal of risk, and should be considered only by those persons who are able to afford a loss of their entire investment. In evaluating an investment in our common stock, the following risk factors should be carefully considered in addition to the other information filed by our company.

Competition

The market for value-added services is highly competitive. We face competition from a variety of sources including large communications service providers with more resources, longer operating histories and more established positions in the telecommunications marketplace. We also compete with small companies who have focused primarily on Internet telephony or traditional switched services. We believe that we compete principally on quality of service, price and flexibility. It is arguable if any one company dominates the voice and data communications market in the same segment as we are. We also expect that the ability to offer enhanced service capabilities, including new services, will become an increasingly important competitive factor in the near future. In addition, we compete with and expect continued competition from telecommunications companies and long distance service providers, Internet Telephony service providers, market competition and pricing pressures:

Attempting to Develop New Revenue Stream

If the market for Internet telephony and other new services does not develop as we expect, or develops more slowly than expected, our business, financial condition and results of operations may well be adversely affected. Our customers may be reluctant to use our Internet telephony services for a number of reasons, including:

·  
perceptions that the quality of voice transmitted over the Internet is low;
·  
our inability to deliver traffic over the Internet with significant cost advantages; and
·  
development of their own capacity on routes served by us.

In addition, any perceived problems with the reliability or functionality of any new services that we plan to offer could discourage service providers or others from offering these services to their customers. In addition, the development of new capabilities or services may require substantial additional capital and marketing-related expenditures to be made well in advance of generating any revenue from such services or demonstrating any market acceptance of such services.

We cannot be certain that end-users will continue to purchase services from us or that our customers will maintain a demand for our services. If the market for these services and products does not develop or if we are unable to capture a significant portion of that market, either directly or through our partners, our revenues and our results of operations will be adversely affected.

Our future financial performance depends substantially on the revenue share between mobile value-added services providers, namely, Beijing Chinawind and China Mobile. Any reduction in this revenue share will have a substantial affect on our earnings capability.

Reliance on Third Parties Vendors

We rely upon third-party vendors to provide us with the equipment that we use to transmit calls through our voice networks using principally Nuera, PCM and Cisco equipment. We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue purchasing such equipment from our vendors, in such case, we may not be able to maintain or expand our network to accommodate growth or provide or upgrade certain services when needed.

- 15 -


Parties that Maintain Phone and Data Lines

Our business is dependent upon the availability of the Internet and traditional telephone networks to transmit voice and data, and to provide other value added services. Third parties maintain and, in many cases, own these networks and other components that comprise the Internet and certain switching facilities connecting to last mile. Some of these third parties are domestic telephone companies in the US and a few are their smaller counterparts in South East Asia such as GridTel and GreatWall Broadband. They may increase their charges for using these lines at any time and decrease our profitability. They may also fail to maintain their lines properly and disrupt our ability to provide service to our customers. Any failure by these third parties to maintain these lines could lead to a material disruption of our ability to route calls or provide other services. It could discourage our customers from using our network or enhanced services, which could have the effect of delaying or preventing our ability to become profitable.

Strategic Relationships

We depend in part on our strategic relationships to expand our distribution channels and develop and market our services especially in content distribution. Strategic relationship partners may choose not to renew existing arrangements on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If we lose these key strategic relationships, or if we fail to maintain or develop new relationships in the future, our ability to expand revenue stream and hence scope of our network would be materially adversely affected.

Fast Leap in Technology Trends

Our business requires that we handle a large number of international calls simultaneously. As we expand our operations, we expect to handle significantly more calls. We will need to expand and upgrade our hardware and software to accommodate such increased traffic. If we do not expand and upgrade quickly enough, we will not have sufficient capacity to handle the traffic and growth in our operating performance would suffer. Even with such expansion, we may be unable to manage new deployments or utilize them in a cost-effective manner. In addition to lost growth opportunities, any such failure could adversely affect customer confidence in the Elephant Talk Network and could result in us losing business outright.

As the Internet telephony industry has grown, sound quality has improved, but the technology requires further refinement. Because the Internet telephony market and markets for our enhanced services are new and evolving, predicting the size of these markets and their growth rate is difficult. Transmitting telephone calls over the Internet, and other uses of the Internet for our enhanced services, must also be accepted by customers as an alternative to traditional services. If our market fails to develop, then we will be unable to grow our customer base and our results of operations will be adversely affected.

Key Personnel

Our future success will depend, in large part, on the continued service of our key management and technical personnel. If any of such members of senior management or others at the Company are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, our business, financial condition and results of operations could well suffer. While many of the members of our management team have been employed with us, we cannot ensure their continued employment with us.

Our future success will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees, particularly operational and sales personnel. Competition for such employees in our industry is intense. We have from time to time in the past experienced, and we expect to continue to experience in the future, difficulty in hiring and retaining employees with appropriate qualifications. We may not be able to retain our employees or attract, assimilate or retain other highly qualified employees in the future. If we do not succeed in attracting and retaining skilled personnel, we may not be able to grow at a sufficient rate to attain profitable operations.

- 16 -


Asian and European Economy

An economic crisis in Asia or Europe where a substantial portion of our client base is and will be located could result in a decrease in our revenues. Several countries in Asia have experienced currency devaluation and/or difficulties in financing short-term obligations. We cannot assure you that the effect of an economic crisis on our customers will not impact operations, or that the effect on our customers in that region will not adversely affect both the demand for our services and the collectable of receivables.

Foreign Currencies

Fluctuations in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance and profitability. A portion of our costs denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, changes in the exchange rates of these currencies or any other applicable currencies to the U.S. dollar will affect our costs of goods and services sold and operating margins and could result in exchange losses. We cannot fully predict the impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on our profitability. From time to time, we may engage in exchange rate-hedging activities in an effort to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. However, we cannot assure you that any hedging technique we may implement will be effective. If it is not effective, we may experience reduced operating margins. We could suffer adverse tax and other financial consequences if U.S. or foreign taxing authorities do not agree with our interpretation of applicable tax laws.

Our corporate structure is based, in part, on assumptions about the various tax laws, including withholding tax, and other relevant laws of applicable non-U.S. jurisdictions. We cannot assure you that foreign taxing authorities will agree with our interpretations or that they will reach the same conclusions. Our interpretations are not binding on any taxing authority and, if these foreign jurisdictions were to change or to modify the relevant laws, we could suffer adverse tax and other financial consequences or have the anticipated benefits of our corporate structure materially impaired.

Terrorism

Terrorist attacks, such as the attacks that occurred in New York and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001, and other acts of violence or war may affect the markets on which our securities trade, the markets in which we and our customers operate, our operations and our profitability. Terrorist attacks may negatively affect our operations and your investment. There can be no assurance that there will not be further terrorist attacks against the United States or United States businesses. These attacks or armed conflicts may directly impact our physical facilities or those of our suppliers or customers. Furthermore, these attacks may make travel and the transportation more difficult and more expensive and ultimately affect the sales of our products and services in the United States and overseas. Also as a result of terrorism, the United States may enter into armed conflicts, which could have a further impact on our domestic and international sales, our supply chain, our production capability and our ability to deliver our products and services to our customers. Political and economic instability in some regions of the world may also result and could negatively impact our business. The consequences of any of these armed conflicts are unpredictable, and we may not be able to foresee events that could have an adverse effect on our business.

Risks Relating to the Greater China and Asian Internet Industry

The Greater China and Asian Internet industry is a developing market and has not been proven as an effective commercial medium

The market for Internet services in Greater China and Asia has only recently begun to develop. Since the Internet is an unproven medium for commercial services, our future operating results from eTalk services will depend substantially upon the increased use of the Internet in Greater China and Asia. Critical issues concerning the commercial use of the Internet in Greater China and Asia such as security, reliability, cost, ease of deployment, administration and quality of service may affect the adoption of the Internet to solve business needs. For example, the cost of access may prevent many potential users in Asia from using the Internet.

- 17 -


Our entry into the Chinese Internet market depends on the establishment of an adequate telecommunications infrastructure in China by the Chinese government

Unlike Taiwan and Hong Kong, where the telecommunications infrastructure is comparable to U.S. standards and where private companies compete as ISPs, the telecommunications infrastructure in China is not well developed. In addition, access to the Internet is accomplished primarily by means of the government's backbone of separate national interconnecting networks that connect with the international gateway to the Internet, which is owned and operated by the Chinese government and is the only channel through which the domestic Chinese Internet network can connect to the international Internet network.

Although private sectors ISPs exist in the China, almost all access to the Internet is accomplished through ChinaNet, the Chinese primary commercial network, which is owned and operated by the Chinese government. We rely on this backbone and China Telecom to provide data communications capacity primarily through local telecommunications lines. As a result, we will continue to depend on the Chinese government to establish and maintain a reliable Internet infrastructure to reach a broader base of Internet users in China. We will have no means of getting access to alternative networks and services, on a timely basis or at all, in the event of any disruption or failure. There can be no assurance that the Internet infrastructure in Greater China will support the demands associated with continued growth. If the necessary infrastructure standards or protocols or complementary products, services or facilities are not developed by the Chinese government, our business could be materially and adversely affected.

Our computer network is vulnerable to hacking, viruses and other disruptions

Inappropriate use of our Internet and phone services could jeopardize the security of confidential information stored in our computer system, which may cause losses to us. Inappropriate use of the Internet includes attempting to gain unauthorized access to information or systems - commonly known as "cracking" or "hacking." Although we intend to implement security measures to protect our facilities, such measures could be circumvented. Alleviating problems caused by computer viruses or other inappropriate uses or security breaches may require interruptions, delays or cessation in our services.

There are political, economic and regulatory risks associated with doing business in China and Asia. Europe and the Middle East and Africa

China's economy has experienced significant growth in the past decade, but such growth has been uneven across geographic and economic sectors and has recently been slowing. There can be no assurance that such growth will not continue to decrease or that any slow down will not have a negative effect on our business.

A significant part of our facilities and operations are currently located in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region ("SAR") of China with its own government and legislature. Hong Kong enjoys a high degree of autonomy from China under the principle of "one country, two systems". We can give no assurance that Hong Kong will continue to enjoy autonomy from China. The Hong Kong dollar has remained relatively constant due to the U.S. dollar peg and currency board system that has been in effect in Hong Kong since 1983. We can give no assurance that the Hong Kong economy will not worsen or that the historical currency peg of the Hong Kong dollar to the U.S. dollar will be maintained. Continued recession in Hong Kong, deflation or the discontinuation of the historical currency peg could adversely affect our business.

Regulation of the information industry in China may adversely affect our business

China has enacted regulations governing Internet access and the distribution of news and other information. We cannot predict the effect of further developments in the Chinese legal system, particularly with regard to the Internet and mobile services including promulgation of the new laws, changes to the existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the preemption of local regulations by national laws.

- 18 -


Change in currency exchange rates could increase our costs relative to our revenues

In future, substantial amount of our revenues, expenses and liabilities will be denominated in Euros, Hong Kong dollars and Chinese Renminbi. As a result, we are subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations with respect to any of these currencies. We have not entered into agreements or purchase financial instruments to hedge our exchange rate risks although we may do so in the future.

Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize our revenue effectively

Although Chinese governmental policies were introduced in 1996 to allow greater convertibility of the Renminbi, significant restrictions still remain. We provide no assurance that the Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose greater restrictions on the convertibility of the Renminbi. Because a significant amount of our future revenues may be in the form of Renminbi, any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities outside China.

Risks relating to operating licenses

Currently, ETL has been granted two PNETS licenses in Hong Kong, one for the provision of external telecommunications services (ETS) and the other for the provision of ISP services (ISP). Under the terms of PNETS licenses, we are subject to regulation of the Office of Telecommunications Authority (OFTA), the official regulatory body. OFTA's regulatory powers permit it to cancel, withdraw or suspend the company's PNETS licenses for a period as it may determine in the event of any contravention by the Company of the Telecommunications Ordinance or of any condition to which the company's PNETS License is granted.

PNETS licenses are customarily granted for 1-year terms and are renewable annually. On the basis that ETL has successfully renewed its licenses before, we have no reason to believe that we would fail to do so in the future. However, there can be no assurance that our PNETS licenses will be renewed upon expiration. The failure to obtain a renewal of its PNETS licenses would result in the company having to cease to offer telecommunication services through its network.

Doing business in Middle East & China

Our operations in Middle East and China involve certain risks and special considerations not typically associated with operations in the United States. These risks generally related to: (i) social, economic and political uncertainty; (ii) substantial governmental involvement in and control over the Middle East and Chinese economy; (iii) the possibility that the Middle East and Chinese government could elect to discontinue its support of the economic reform programs implemented in the past and return to a completely centrally planned economy; and (iv) possible nationalization or expropriation of assets. Accordingly, government actions in the future could have a significant effect on economic conditions in the Middle East and China. Such actions and resulting changes in the Middle East and Chinese economy could significantly adversely affect, limit or eliminate opportunities for foreign investment, the prospects of private sector enterprises operating in the Middle East and China and the value of our investments in the Middle East and China.

Environmental Regulation

Our Europe, Middle East and Chinese operations are subject to various governmental laws and regulations. The costs and effects of compliance with environmental laws and regulations in the respective countries have not been material in the past and are not anticipated to be material in the future.

- 19 -


Patents, Trademarks and Licenses

We actively pursue the protection of intellectual property rights in the United States and relevant foreign jurisdictions. We conduct our business under the "Elephant Talk" brand name and logo. Currently, Elephant Talk Limited owns certain trademarks in China, Singapore, Hong Kong, USA and Canada, which are either registered in the Trademark Office or in the process of being registered. Elephant Talk Limited owns External Telecommunications Service License and ISP licenses to conduct telecommunications business locally in Hong Kong.

Employees

We currently employ a consultant in the United States at our principal executive office located in Orange, California. The consultant provides corporate administrative and advisory services to Elephant Talk and its affiliates. Elephant Talk Limited employs at its two sites located in Hong Kong eight (8) full-time employees for networking operation, customer support, administrative, sales support and accounting services. Its Research and Development centre, located in Guangzhou China, employs twelve (12) highly skilled developers who are responsible for all the software and network development. The Company is recruiting skilled employees in the Middle East and Europe and expect to fully staff its Middle East and Europe facilities by July 2007. We believe that our future success will depend in part on our continued ability to attract, hire, integrate, retain and motivate highly qualified personnel in various disciplines, and upon the continued service of our senior management personnel. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We have never experienced a work stoppage and believe our relationship with our employees is good.

Research and Development

Elephant Talk Limited has spent many months doing research and development of our current business strategy, the cost of which has been borne through the issuance of securities in the acquisitions. Because of the continuing technological changes that characterize the Internet, Web design and telecommunications and computer industries, Elephant Talk’s success will depend, to a considerable extent, upon its ability to continue to grow its business by acquiring companies that are ahead of the competition in our industry and develop competitive technologies internally through research and development. Management does not anticipate incurring any significant costs for such research and development in the near term other than through acquisitions.

No assurance can be given that the agreements entered into by us will result in completion of actual agreements or that the terms of the agreements will not be significantly changed, or that any of the financing needs to consummate the agreements discussed in this Annual Report be successfully completed. Elephant Talk's management, which has extensive experience and expertise in relevant industry sectors, intends to provide Internet technology by merging with or acquiring companies already active in these businesses. On the financial side, we have raised and continue to raise the substantial funds necessary to carry out the plans of our venture partners by selling our own common shares to selected investors/partners. If we are not able to raise the necessary funds to fund our growth, the agreements will need to be modified or cancelled.

There are insignificant amount spent during the last two fiscal years on research and development, as we often use proven technologies available in the market which reduce the risk of bugs and unsteady performances, especially in initial launches of services.

There are no material costs incurred in order to comply with environment laws in a local or worldwide basis owing to the nature of the telecom industry.

The monthly rent amounts to $374 with an escalation of monthly rent on the lease anniversary date. Elephant Talk Limited is currently leasing 5,000 square feet of office space at 8/F, 145-159 Yeung Uk Road, Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong for a period of two years commencing May 1, 2004 for a monthly rent of $4,991.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

On or about July 21, 2006, the Company received a notice that a default judgment had been entered against the Company on July 21, 2004 in a litigation entitled Neu-Firmnet, Inc. vs. Elephant Talk Communications, Inc. in Los Angeles Superior Court Case No. BC 295776. The Company’s counsel brought a motion to set aside the default and default judgment which was granted by the court on October 11, 2006. On March 12, 2007, the court dismissed the Neu-Firmnet litigation in favor of the Company.

On August 25, 2006, the Company was sued as a defendant in a litigation entitled Renren Asset Management, Ltd. and Fantastic Fiesta Ltd. vs. Elephant Talk Communications, Inc., in Orange County Superior Court Case No. 06CC09415 in California. On November 6, 2006, the case was dismissed without prejudice by the plaintiffs in that action.

On September 25, 2006, Beijing Zhongrun Chuantou Technology Co., Ltd., a company organized and existing under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Beijing Zhongrun”) and a minority shareholder of Beijing Chinawind Telecommunication Information Technology Company Limited, a company organized and existing under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Beijing Chinawind”), filed two lawsuits against Guangdong Elephant Talk Network Consulting Limited, a company organized and existing under the laws of the People’s Republic of China and an agent of the Company (“ETGD”), in the Beijing Civil Courts. The lawsuit alleges that a) ETGD failed to pay the remaining consideration of $787,748 under an Equity Transfer Agreement, dated January 4, 2006 (the “Agreement”), between ETGD and Beijing Zhongrun, which provided for the acquisition by ETGD from Beijing Zhongrun of 60% of the registered capital of Beijing Chinawind; and b) ETGD induced the minority shareholders of Beijing Chinawind to accept, pursuant to the Agreement, consideration of $1,000,000 through the issuance of 10,000,000 common shares of the Company valued at $0.10 per common share. The lawsuit further alleges that Chinese law prohibits citizens of the People’s Republic of China from accepting shares of companies listed on the United States Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board Quotation Service, which is regulated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., as compensation in an acquisition transaction.

Beijing Zhongrun has demanded that ETGD exchange the issued stock for $1,000,000, pay the outstanding payment under the Agreement and compensate Beijing Zhongrun for breach of contract in the sum of RMB524,664 (approximately $64,773). In the alternative, Beijing Zhongrun has asked the Court to void the Agreement and award compensation to Beijing Zhongrun for its economic loss in the amount of RMB6,591,000 (approximately $813,704).

- 21 -


The Company has retained a legal counsel licensed to practice civil law in the People’s Republic of China who has advised the Company that Beijing Zhongrun's lawsuits are not supported by valid facts nor have sufficient legal evidence. Accordingly, the Company considers that the claims of Beijing Zhongrun are without merit and the Company plans to vigorously defend these lawsuits. However, it is important to note that the Company is not a party to the lawsuit.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the purchase price for 60% of Beijing Chinawind was agreed to be $4,800,000, subject to adjustments based on Beijing Chinawind’s audited net income for fiscal 2005 and 2006, and is payable (x) in cash of $2,800,000 in five installments the last of which is to be paid on January 31, 2007, and (y) by the issuance by the Company to the Vendor of 20,000,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at US$0.10 per share, in four equal installments the last of which is to be issued on January 31, 2007. The Vendor has the right to exercise an option within 30 days after July 31, 2007 to return the 20,000,000 shares of restricted common stock either in exchange for a 25% equity interest in Beijing Chinawind or for settlement in cash within 90 days.

On September 25, 2006, the Vendor and a minority shareholder of Beijing Chinawind, filed two lawsuits against Guangdong Elephant Talk in the Beijing Civil Courts. The lawsuit alleges a) that Guangdong Elephant Talk failed to pay the remaining consideration of $787,748 under an Equity Transfer Agreement, dated January 4, 2006 (the “Agreement”), between Guangdong Elephant Talk and Beijing Zhongrun, which provided for the acquisition by Guangdong Elephant Talk from Beijing Zhongrun of 60% of the registered capital of Beijing Chinawind; and b) that Guangdong Elephant Talk induced the minority shareholders of Beijing Chinawind to accept, pursuant to the Agreement, consideration of $1,000,000 through the issuance of 10,000,000 common shares of the Company valued at $0.10 per common share. The lawsuit further alleges that Chinese law prohibits citizens of the People’s Republic of China from accepting shares of companies listed on the United States Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board Quotation Service, which is regulated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., as compensation in an acquisition transaction. Beijing Zhongrun has demanded that Guangdong Elephant Talk exchange the issued stock for $1,000,000, pay the outstanding payment under the Agreement and compensate Beijing Zhongrun for breach of contract in the sum of RMB524,664 (approximately $64,773). In the alternative, Beijing Zhongrun has asked the Court to void the Agreement and award compensation to Beijing Zhongrun for its economic loss in the amount of RMB6,591,000 (approximately $813,704). It is important to note that the lawsuits are not against ETCI and merely against the agent of the Company.

The Company has retained a legal counsel licensed to practice civil law in the People’s Republic of China who has advised the Company that Beijing Zhongrun's lawsuits are not supported by valid facts nor have sufficient legal evidence. Accordingly, the Company considers that the claims of Beijing Zhongrun are not against the Company and are without merit. The Company is vigorously defending these lawsuits. In November 2006, the Company decided to abandon its investment in Beijing Chinawind due to loss of control.

Comparison of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005

Our results of operations for 2006 consist of the operations of Elephant Talk Communications, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary Elephant Talk Limited, its wholly owned subsidiary Full Mark Limited, its wholly-owned subsidiary Elephant Talk Europe Holding BV, its majority owned (51%) subsidiary Elephant Talk Communications PRS UK Ltd., its majority owned (51%) subsidiary Elephant Talk Middle East & Africa Holding Bahrain W.L.L., its wholly owned subsidiary Elephant Talk Middle East and Africa Jordon LLC, and its majority owned (50.54%) subsidiary Elephant Talk Middle East & Africa FZ-LLC. The operations of Bejing China Wind were abandoned as of September 30, 2006 due to loss of control on the company. Our operations for 2005 consisted of operations of Elephant Talk Communications, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary Elephant Talk Limited, its wholly owned subsidiary True Precise Technology Limited, its wholly owned subsidiary Full Mark Limited, and its majority owned (50.54%) subsidiary Elephant Talk Middle East & Africa FZ-LLC.

Revenues and Cost of Revenues: The Company reported revenues of $158,292 and $282,417 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Revenues consisted of telecommunications services such as voice and data transmission like IDD, pre-paid calling cards, eTalk and facsimile services provided to a wide range of customers. The decline in revenues comes from price compression for long distance business voice services. The Company’s international business continues to experience significant pricing pressure on its products as we continue to penetrate the retail markets although the wholesale market continues to represent a large portion of our gross revenues. This, in addition to bankruptcies of some customers and industry players, resulted in reduction in circuits connected to customers related to their internal network consolidation and resulted in year-over-year decrease.

Cost of revenue was $144,727 and $252,900 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Cost of revenue included cost in providing resale arrangements with long distance service providers, cost of leasing transmission facilities, international gateway switches for voice, data transmission and facsimile services. Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2006 was 8.5% of the revenues compared to 10.5% of the revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005. Gross margin decreased in 2006 due to the change in the revenue mix for the services provided to customers as well as the direct result of increases in pricing in the telecom markets without adequate volume offsets. Both the local voice revenue and long-distance revenue decreases were impacted by continued weakness in the telecommunications industry and ongoing economic and competitive pressures from other telecommunications services providers in Hong Kong and around the world.

Operating expenses: Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $1,992,618 and $631,576 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. SG&A expenses increased by $1,361,042 or 215.5% in 2006 compared to 2005 primarily because the Company increased its legal and administrative costs in conducting due diligence of potential acquisitions, and costs incurred in expanding the operations of the Company in Middle East and Europe. During 2005, the Company controlled its business expenses through right-sizing the organization and recovering $330,934 of bad debts that were previously written-off in 2004. Stock compensation to officers, directors and employees were $433,557 and $402,875 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Stock compensation expense remained relatively the same during 2006 as compared to 2005 primarily due to right sizing the personnel needs in 2005. Stock compensation paid to consultants was $0 and $20,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense was $42,326 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $56,230 for the same period in 2005 as majority of the property and equipment had been fully depreciated.

Other Income and Expenses: Interest income was $18,943 and $20,467 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Other income was represented by interest income earned on amounts due from entities related to officers, directors and shareholders during 2006 and 2005. Interest expense was $592,618 in 2006 compared to $139,199 in 2005. Increase in interest expense in 2006 was due to Company obtaining additional loans from investor, bank and related parties to fund its operations. The Company recorded a gain of $32,031 in 2005 in settlement of its payables to a director whereas no such settlements were made in 2006.

Minority Interest: The Company’s majority owned subsidiaries Elephant Talk Europe BV, Elephant Talk Limited, Elephant Talk Middle East & Africa Holding WLL Bahrain and Elephant Talk Middle East & Africa FZ-LLC incurred losses of $1,794,562 from operations during the year ended December 31, 2006. The Company recorded a loss of $117,824 attributable to minority shareholders’ interest in the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2006. During 2005, the Company’s majority owned subsidiary Elephant Talk Middle East & Africa FZ-LLC incurred a loss of $16,630 from operations from the date of inception of business on September 26, 2005 through December 31, 2005. The Company recorded a loss of $8,225 from operations attributable to minority shareholders’ interest for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Discontinued operations: The Company discontinued operations of Beijing Chinawind and abandoned its investment effective September 30, 2006 since the Company’s agent lost control over the operations of Beijing Chinawind. The Company recorded in the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2006, an income of $232,247 from the operations of Beijing Chinawind from January 6, 2006 (the date of acquisition) to the date of abandonment (September 30, 2006). The Company recorded a loss of $2,152,247 on abandonment of its investment in Beijing Chinawind in the accompanying financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006. The Company discontinued operations of a majority (60%) owned subsidiary, True Precise and recorded a loss from discontinued operations of $7,229 during 2005. The Company recorded a gain of $7,229 from the disposal of True Precise’s operations during 2005. Upon completion of selling the operations of True Precise, the Company acquired the remaining 40% equity in True Precise it did not own, making True Precise a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company as of December 31, 2005.

Comprehensive Loss: The Company records foreign currency translation gains and losses as comprehensive income or loss. The company recorded a gain of $21,133 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to a gain of $644 for the year ended December 31, 2005 due to foreign currency translations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources: The Company's principal capital requirements during the year 2007 are to fund the internal operations and complete the pending acquisitions of growth-oriented telecommunications and related businesses in Europe, Asia and Middle East. The Company plans to raise the necessary funds by selling its own common shares to selected investors and bringing in business partners whose contributions include the necessary cash. In view of low borrowing interest rates, the Company continues to actively pursuing additional credit facilities with investors and financial institutions in Hong Kong, Europe, Middle East and USA as a means to obtain new funding. The Company’s management estimates that it currently has the necessary funds to operate for the next twelve months without raising additional capital.

- 30 -

 
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $4,829,665 for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to a net loss of $1,214,193 for the same period in 2005. Additionally, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $3,181,589 at December 31, 2006. These factors and the Company’s inability to meet its debt obligations from current operations, and the need to raise additional funds to accomplish its objectives, create a substantial doubt about Elephant Talk's ability to continue as a going concern. Based upon above, the Company’s independent auditors have issued a going concern opinion as the Company does not have sufficient funds available to operate for the next twelve months.
 
Operating activities: Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $1,330,061. The increase in net cash used in operating activities resulted primarily due to the increase in loss of $3,555,472 in 2006, increase in accounts receivable of 81,692, decrease in prepaid expenses, deposits and other assets of $158,203, increase in accrued expenses and other payable of $198,291, increase in minority interest of $10,698 and increase in accrued interest of $683,548.

Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $1,705,535. Cash was used by the Company in making payments of $1,420,000 for its investment in Beijing Chinawind and for purchase of property and equipment of $113,731, and cash paid for deposits amounting to $171,804.

Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $3,124,159. The Company received in cash $2,954,921 from Rising Water Capital against the convertible promissory notes executed by the Company. The Company received in partial payment $944,500 from sale of 109,480,000 restricted shares to five investors on December 28, 2006. The Company made advances and payments of $941,504 on its bank loans and third parties.
 
As a result of the above activities, the Company had a cash and cash equivalent balance of $332,001 as of December 31, 2006, a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $133,185 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is still dependent on its success in obtaining additional financing from the institutional investors or by selling its Common Shares and fulfilling its plan of restructuring as outlined above.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition, Cost of Revenue and Deferred Revenue:
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 104. The Company derives revenues from the sale of minutes of calling time via sale of its prepaid calling cards. Cost of revenue includes the cost of capacity associated with the revenue recognized within the corresponding time period. Revenue is deferred upon activation of the calling cards and is recognized as the prepaid calling card balances are reduced based upon minute usage, imposition of administrative fees, or no further obligations exist with respect to a calling card. Deferred revenues represent amounts received from its customers for the unused minutes of the prepaid calling cards sold to its customers since the Company recognizes revenues only on the usage of the minutes.

Stock-based Compensation:
The Company follows the prescribed accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights in accordance with SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement requires prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used, on reported results.

Issuance of Shares for Services:
The Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably measurable.

Impact of Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which requires companies to measure and recognize compensation expense for all stock-based payments at fair value. SFAS 123R is being applied on the modified prospective basis. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, and accordingly, recognized no compensation expense related to the stock-based plans. Under the modified prospective approach, SFAS 123R applies to new awards and to awards that were outstanding on January 1, 2006 that are subsequently modified, repurchased or cancelled.

In compliance with FAS No. 148, for the fiscal year 2005, the Company elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation plan as defined by APB No. 25 and has made the applicable disclosures below.

The Company did not grant any options during the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments” (SFAS 155”), which amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities” (SFAS 140”). SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133 to narrow the scope exception for interest-only and principal-only strips on debt instruments to include only such strips representing rights to receive a specified portion of the contractual interest or principle cash flows. SFAS 155 also amends SFAS 140 to allow qualifying special-purpose entities to hold a passive derivative financial instrument pertaining to beneficial interests that itself is a derivative instruments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new Standard, but believes that it will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

In March 2006 FASB issued SFAS 156 ‘Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets’ this Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement:

1.  
Requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract.

2.  
Requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable.

3.  
Permits an entity to choose ‘Amortization method’ or ‘Fair value measurement method’ for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities:

4.  
At its initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value.

5.  
Requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.

This Statement is effective as of the beginning of the Company’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Management believes that this statement will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

- 32 -

 
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 ‘Fair Value Measurements’. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)’ This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. However, an employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to disclose the following information in the notes to financial statements for a fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, but before June 16, 2007, unless it has applied the recognition provisions of this Statement in preparing those financial statements:

a.  A brief description of the provisions of this Statement
b.  The date that adoption is required
c.  The date the employer plans to adopt the recognition provisions of this Statement, if earlier.

The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

In February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject to specific requirements outlined in the new Statement. Therefore, calendar-year companies may be able to adopt FAS 159 for their first quarter 2007 financial statements.

The new Statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item's fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off Balance Sheet arrangements at December 31, 2006.

The Board of Directors and its Committees

During the calendar year 2006, the Board held four (4) meetings. Messrs Choi, Ohri attended 100% of the meetings and the elected Board members attended all of the meetings since attaining their directorships.

The Company has no Compensation or Nominating Committees.

- 33 -

 
Options Committee

The Options Committee’s function is to review, make recommendations, maintain and implement those option grants of options promulgated by it and approved by the Board of Directors. Directors Choi and Lam comprise the membership of this committee.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee’s function is to review with the Company’s independent public accountants and management, the annual financial statements and independent public accountants’ opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors of:
Elephant Talk Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Elephant Talk Communications, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and the consolidated results of its operations and comprehensive loss and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had a loss of $1,214,193, a working capital deficit of $3,372,917, a stockholders’ equity of $1,671,202 an accumulated deficit of $12,132,435 and used cash in operations of $738,018. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 17. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ELEPHANT TALK COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

(A) Organization and Nature of Operations

Elephant Talk Communications, Inc. (herein referred to as “Elephant Talk”, “ETCI” or “Company” formerly known as Staruni Corporation), was incorporated on February 5, 1962 under the laws of the state of California as Altius Corporation. Altius was involved in manufacturing of freeway signs. In March 1997, Altius acquired Starnet Universe Internet, Inc., a web developer and Internet Service Provider (ISP) and changed its name to Staruni Corporation. On January 4, 2002, the Staruni Corporation merged with Elephant Talk Limited, a limited company incorporated in Hong Kong, and amended the corporate name to Elephant Talk Communications, Inc. This name change was done in conjunction with the acquisition, and to emphasize that the Company’s new focus will be the business of Elephant Talk Limited. Elephant Talk Limited is currently engaged in long distance telephone business and actively pursuing to position itself in mobile value-added service provider in China

(B) Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(C) Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

(D) Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency was the Hong Kong Dollar for the subsidiary Elephant Talk Limited, and Euros for the Elephant Talk Europe Holding BV for the year ended December 31, 2006. The December 31, 2006 financial statements of the Company were translated to United States dollars using year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts were translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Net gains and losses resulting from translation of foreign currency financial statements are included in the statements of stockholder’s equity as other comprehensive income or (loss). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in consolidated income (loss).

(E) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets from three to seven years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Majority of the Company’s property and equipment is located in Hong Kong.

(F) Interest Expense

The Company uses a credit facility with a bank for its working capital requirements. Interest expense is calculated in accordance with the borrowing rate accepted by the Company pursuant to a credit arrangement with the bank when funds are drawn against the credit facility. Interest expense is calculated in accordance with the interest rate accepted by the Company on its note payable to an investor. Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $592,618 and $139,199, respectively, principally incurred on borrowings under the loans received from the bank and notes payable.

- 42 -


(G) Carrier Deposit

The Company has deposited security deposits with telecommunication carriers during the course of its operations. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has made security deposits of $40,247 with the telecommunication carriers. The deposits are refundable at the conclusion of the business relationship with the carriers.

(H) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" ('Statement 109"). Under Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

(I) Revenue Recognition, Cost of Revenue and Deferred Revenue

The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 104. The Company recognizes sales from telecommunications services as services are provided. The Company recognizes revenue from prepaid calling cards as the services are provided. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue. Cost of revenue includes the cost of capacity associated with the revenue recognized within the corresponding time period.

Deferred revenue represents amounts received from the customers against future sales of services since the Company recognizes revenue on the performance of services. Deferred revenue was $105,105 as of December 31, 2006.

(J) Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), “Earnings per share”. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Weighted average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted loss per share is the same since the effect of dilutive securities is anti-dilutive. The Company had 11,734,073 and 54,052,605 potentially diluted common shares from the conversion of convertible note payable as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

(K) Long-Lived Assets

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business." The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. The Company did not impair any property and equipment for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

- 43 -


(L) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments” requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts and other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, factor payable, capital lease payable and notes and loans payable approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

(M) Concentrations of Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with financial institutions deemed by management to be of high credit quality. The amount on deposit in any one institution that exceeds federally insured limits is subject to credit risk. All of the Company’s revenue and majority of its assets are derived from operations in Hong Kong and China.

(N) Reporting Segments

Statement of financial accounting standards No. 131, Disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information (SFAS No. 131), which superseded statement of financial accounting standards No. 14, Financial reporting for segments of a business enterprise, establishes standards for the way that public enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements. The Company has determined it has only one segment.

(O) Stock-based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which requires companies to measure and recognize compensation expense for all stock-based payments at fair value. SFAS 123R is being applied on the modified prospective basis. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, and accordingly, recognized no compensation expense related to the stock-based plans. Under the modified prospective approach, SFAS 123R applies to new awards and to awards that were outstanding on January 1, 2006 that are subsequently modified, repurchased or cancelled.

In compliance with FAS No. 148, for the fiscal year 2005, the Company elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation plan as defined by APB No. 25 and has made the applicable disclosures below.

The Company did not grant any options during the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

(P) Issuance of Shares for Services

The Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably measurable.

(Q) Comprehensive Income

Statement of financial accounting standards No. 130, Reporting comprehensive income (SFAS No. 130), establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity, except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS No. 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in financial statements that are displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.

- 44 -


(R) Reclassifications

For comparative purposes, prior years' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with report classifications of the current year.

(S) New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments” (SFAS 155”), which amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities” (SFAS 140”). SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133 to narrow the scope exception for interest-only and principal-only strips on debt instruments to include only such strips representing rights to receive a specified portion of the contractual interest or principle cash flows. SFAS 155 also amends SFAS 140 to allow qualifying special-purpose entities to hold a passive derivative financial instrument pertaining to beneficial interests that itself is a derivative instruments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new Standard, but believes that it will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

In March 2006 FASB issued SFAS 156 ‘Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets’ this Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement:

1.  
Requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract.

2.  
Requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable.

3.  
Permits an entity to choose ‘Amortization method’ or ‘Fair value measurement method’ for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities:

4.  
At its initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value.

5.  
Requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.

This Statement is effective as of the beginning of the Company’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Management believes that this statement will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 ‘Fair Value Measurements’. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)’ This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. However, an employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to disclose the following information in the notes to financial statements for a fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, but before June 16, 2007, unless it has applied the recognition provisions of this Statement in preparing those financial statements:

a.  A brief description of the provisions of this Statement
b.  The date that adoption is required
c.  The date the employer plans to adopt the recognition provisions of this Statement, if earlier.

The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

In February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. FASB 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject to specific requirements outlined in the new Statement. Therefore, calendar-year companies may be able to adopt FASB 159 for their first quarter 2007 financial statements.

The new Statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item's fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. FASB 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities.

(B) Class B Preferred Stock

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation (Articles”) authorize the issuance of 50,000,000 shares of no par value Class B Preferred Stock. No shares of Preferred Stock are currently issued and outstanding. Under the Company's Articles, the Board of Directors has the power, without further action by the holders of the Common Stock, to designate the relative rights and preferences of the preferred stock, and issue the preferred stock in such one or more series as designated by the Board of Directors. The designation of rights and preferences could include preferences as to liquidation, redemption and conversion rights, voting rights, dividends or other preferences, any of which may be dilutive of the interest of the holders of the Common Stock or the Preferred Stock of any other series. The issuance of Preferred Stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without further shareholder action and may adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of Common Stock. In certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could depress the market price of the Common Stock.

NOTE 14 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

The Company leases its corporate offices space with an affiliate under a month-to-month operating lease. Monthly rental expense under the leases is $4,575 per month. The Company’s majority owned subsidiary leases its office space from a third party. The lease term is for one year and monthly rent expense is $1,085 per month. The Company’s USA hosting facility space is leased from a third party at a monthly rent of $2,694. The lease term expires on April 30, 2008. Rent expense under operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $53,944 and $40,220, respectively. Lease commitments for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 are $60,814 and $11,384, respectively.

On January 4, 2006, the Company, through its agent Guangdong Elephant Talk Network Consulting Limited (“ETGD”), entered into an agreement to acquire sixty percent (60%) of the registered capital of Beijing Chinawind (Note 7). Beijing Chinawind passed a board resolution without ETGD’s consent and also rejected ETGD’s request for financial information. The Company is currently in litigation with the shareholders of Beijing Chinawind. The Company has taken a position to abandon its investment in Beijing Chinawind since ETGD lost its control over the operations of Beijing Chinawind and decided to discontinue its operations effective September 30, 2006 and recorded a loss of $2,152,247 from abandoning Beijing Chinawind’s operations. The Company has placed restrictions on the tradability of the 10,000,000 shares issued to the owners of Beijing Chinawind and is pursuing the return of such shares

Beijing Chinawind filed a claim on ETGD in order to terminate the “Transfer of Shares Agreement”, and is claiming a compensation of RMB1,690,000 (approximately $211,250). The litigation started in September 2006 and no decision has been awarded. Beijing Chinawind claims that ETGD should issue the remaining shares and the termination fee. However, since the net profit of Beijing Chinawind did not meet the requirement stipulated in the Transfer of Shares Agreement,, the Company does not believe that the claim would be allowed by the court. ETGD filed a reverse claim for a compensation of $515,000 pursuant to the profit sharing agreement. If the owners of Beijing Chinawind exercise their option within 30 days after July 31, 2007 to return the 20,000,000 restricted common shares, then ETGD might have to settle the claim in $1,000,000 cash. ETGD has filed a claim that Beijing Chinawind shareholders passed a board resolution without the consent of ETGD. This claim will be heard in the court on April 24, 2007. In addition,, ETGD’s request for financial information for the year 2006 & 2007 from Beijing Chinawind was rejected. ETGD is currently discussing with Chinawind about a settlement. The Company believes that if it succeeds in the claims, then the chances of getting its investment capital of US$1,420,000 would be high.
 
Severance and Consulting Agreements
The Company entered into a termination agreement with its former officer and a current director agreeing to pay a severance of $166,000 over a three-year term. The Company also entered into a three-year consulting agreement with the former officer and a current director whereby the Company made available an option to purchase up to 1 million shares of common stock at the end of each year of the term of the consulting agreement subject to certain stipulations.

NOTE 17 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN AND NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AND COMPENSATION PLAN

Employee Benefit Plan

On May 30, 2000, the Company adopted an employee benefit plan “The 2000 Employee Benefit Plan” (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, the Company may issue shares or grant options to acquire the Company’s common stock, no par value, from time to time to employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. In addition, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, shares may be granted under this Plan to other individuals, including consultants or advisors, who contribute to the success of the Company or its subsidiaries, provided that bona fide services shall be rendered by consultants and advisors and such services must not be in conjunction with the offer or sale of securities in a capital raising transaction.

- 55 -


No stock may be issued or options granted under the Plan to consultants, advisors or other persons who directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company’s securities. The Plan is intended to aid the Company in maintaining and developing a management team, attracting qualified officers and employees capable of assuring the future success of the Company, and rewarding those individuals who have contributed to the success of the Company. The Plan Administrators under the direction of the Board of Directors administers the Plan. A total of four million (4,000,000) common shares and four million (4,000,000) options to acquire common shares may be subject to, or issued pursuant to, benefits granted under the Plan. At any time any stock option is granted under the terms of this Plan, the Company will reserve for issuance the number of shares of Stock subject to suck option until it is exercised or expired. The Plan Administrator shall determine from time to time the terms, conditions and price of the options granted. Options shall not be construed to be stock and cannot be exercised after the expiration of its term.

On January 17, 2001, the Company granted and issued 1,700,000 common shares at a price of $0.005 per share for a total consideration of $8,500. On November 16, 2004, the Company granted and issued 2,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.059 per share for a total consideration of $118,000. Under the Plan 300,000 shares of common stock and 4,000,000 stock options remain available for grant at December 31, 2006. The Company did not grant any stock options during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

2006 Non-Qualified Stock and Option Compensation Plan

On July 21, 2006, the Company adopted a 2006 Non-Qualified Stock and Option Compensation Plan and filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with the Commission to register shares awarded under the Plan on the same date. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors issues common stock and awards options to employees, directors, officers, consultants, advisors and other persons associated with the Company. The 2006 Plan is intended to provide a method whereby the Company would be stimulated by the personal involvement of our employees, directors, officers, consultants, advisors and other persons in our business and reward such involvement, thereby advancing the interests of the Company and all of its shareholders. A total of 15,000,000 shares of common stock for stock awards and 10,000,000 shares of common stock underlying option grants were authorized under the 2006 Plan. None of the shares under the plan were issued as of December 31, 2006.

NOTE 18 LITIGATION

On September 25, 2006, Beijing Zhongrun Chuantou Technology Co., Ltd., a company organized and existing under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Beijing Zhongrun”) and a minority shareholder of Beijing Chinawind Telecommunication Information Technology Company Limited, a company organized and existing under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Beijing Chinawind”), filed two lawsuits in the Beijing Civil Courts against Guangdong Elephant Talk Network Consulting Limited (“ETGD”), a company organized and existing under the laws of the People’s Republic of China and an agent of the Company. The lawsuit alleges that a) ETGD failed to pay the remaining consideration of $787,748 under an Equity Transfer Agreement, dated January 4, 2006 (the “Agreement”) between ETGD and Beijing Zhongrun, which provided for the acquisition by ETGD from Beijing Zhongrun of 60% of the registered capital of Beijing Chinawind; and b) ETGD induced the minority shareholders of Beijing Chinawind to accept, pursuant to the Agreement, consideration of $1,000,000 through the issuance of 10,000,000 common shares of the Company valued at $0.10 per common share. The lawsuit further alleges that Chinese law prohibits citizens of the People’s Republic of China from accepting shares of companies listed on the United States Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board Quotation Service, which is regulated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., as compensation in an acquisition transaction.

Beijing Zhongrun has demanded that ETGD exchange the issued stock for $1,000,000, pay the outstanding payment under the Agreement and compensate Beijing Zhongrun for breach of contract in the sum of RMB524,664 (approximately $64,773). In the alternative, Beijing Zhongrun has asked the Court to void the Agreement and award compensation to Beijing Zhongrun for its economic loss in the amount of RMB6,591,000 (approximately $813,704).

The Company has retained a legal counsel licensed to practice Civil law in the People’s Republic of China, who has advised the Company that Beijing Zhongrun's lawsuits are not supported by valid facts nor have sufficient legal evidence. Accordingly, the Company considers that the claims of Beijing Zhongrun are without merit and the Company plans to vigorously defend these lawsuits.

NOTE 19 GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the company as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $16,962,100 at December 31, 2006, which included a net loss of $4,829,665 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The Company’s total current liabilities exceed its total current assets by $3,181,589, a stockholders’ equity of $733,325 and the Company used cash in operations of $1,330,061. This raises a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management has taken the following steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is actively pursuing additional funding and potential merger or acquisition candidates and strategic partners, which would enhance stockholders’ investment. Management believes that the above actions will allow the Company to continue operations through the next fiscal year.

NOTE 20 CORRECTION OF TRANSACTION PREVIOUSLY REPORTED

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company determined that a certain transaction and its presentation in the financial statements had not been accounted for properly in the Company's financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2006. Specifically, the Company issued 24,938,759 common shares to three directors in consideration of such directors raising the funding of $7,837,896 for the Company pursuant to the share purchase agreement with Rising Water Capital. The Company recorded such issuance of the common shares valued at $997,550 as compensation expense to three directors in its financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2006 instead of netting against the cost of raising capital by issuance of common shares against the paid in capital. The Company also advanced 2,400,000 shares restricted common shares valued at $120,000 to Benoit Telecom Holding AG for issuance to their consultant for services rendered. The Company recorded the fair market value of the shares of $120,000 as an expense in the financial statements instead of recording it as an advance to Benoit. The Company has made the correction to its financial statements as of December 31, 2006.

NOTE 21 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 1, 2007, the Company completed its acquisition of Benoit Telecom. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to purchase from Beltrust all of the 100,000 issued and outstanding shares of Benoit Telecom in exchange for a) cash payment of $6,643,080 and b) 40,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The total consideration for the purchase of Benoit Telecom was valued at $9,643,080. An officer and director of a subsidiary of the Company became an officer and director of an entity owned by Benoit Telecom.

Subsequent to December 31, 2006, the Company received $569,520 in cash advances against the $3.00 million Convertible Promissory Note executed by Rising Water Capital on May 26, 2006.

Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

On January 23, 2007, Jimmy C. H. Cheung & Co. (“Jimmy Cheung”) was dismissed as the Company’s auditors. The decision to dismiss Jimmy Cheung was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors upon recommendation by its audit committee. Jimmy Cheung served as the Registrant's independent auditor for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. Jimmy Cheung’s report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 (the “Report”) did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. However, the Report was modified to include an explanatory paragraph wherein Jimmy Cheung expressed substantial doubt about the Registrant’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, and during the period from January 1, 2006 until January 23, 2007, there were no disagreements with Jimmy Cheung on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Jimmy Cheung’s satisfaction, would have caused Jimmy Cheung to make reference thereto in their report on the Registrant’s financial statements for this fiscal year.

On January 24, 2007, the Company engaged Kabani & Company, Inc. (“Kabani”), Certified Public Accountants, as the Company's independent accountant to report on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. The decision to appoint Kabani was approved by the Company's Board of Directors upon recommendation by its audit committee. Prior to engaging the new accountant, the Company did not consult with Kabani regarding the application of accounting principles to any contemplated or completed transactions nor the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither written nor oral advice was provided that would be an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.

Item 8A. Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that it is able to collect the information it is required to disclose in the reports it files with the SEC, and process, summarize, and disclose this information within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (“Certifying Officers”) are responsible for establishing and maintaining these procedures and, as required by the rules of the SEC, evaluate their effectiveness.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act, such as this Annual report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that material information relating to the Company is made known to the Certifying Officers by others, particularly during the period in which the applicable report is being prepared. The Company maintains a system of internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that a) transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or specific authorization; b) transactions are recorded as necessary, to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, and to maintain accountability for assets; c) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific authorization; and d) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

- 58 -

 
Scope of Evaluation in Disclosure Controls

The Certifying Officers’ evaluation of our disclosure controls and internal controls are done periodically so that the conclusions concerning the effectiveness of our controls can be reported in our quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB and Annual reports on Form 10-KSB. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our disclosure controls and our internal controls, and to make modifications, if and as necessary. Our independent external auditors also review internal controls in connection with their audit and review activities.

The Securities and Exchange Commission rules embodied in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, in particular, Section 404, require that a company's internal controls over financial reporting be based upon a recognized internal control framework. The Certifying Officers have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting (as such terms are defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by the filing of the Report, and concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective.

Except as noted above, there have not been any changes in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our first fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company had agreed to issue said shares to management pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, the Company awarded Messrs Choi and Lam 8,312,920 shares of common stock individually, and Mr. Ohri 8,312,919 shares of common stock in consideration of their exemplary services to the Company during their term as Officers in negotiating and raising capital for the Company in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement with Rising Water Capital and agreement to stay in their respective management positions for a period of at least fifteen (15) months from the date of execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement. All of the stock awards were intended to be issued pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On August 21, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the Employment Agreements (the “Agreements”) with Russelle Choi, President, Pius Lam, Chief Operating Officer, and Manu Ohri, Chief Financial Officer (the ”Executives”). All three Agreements are identical, containing, among other things, a thirty-six month term, provisions for the election of the Executive to the Board of Directors at the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders, severance provisions, confidentiality provisions, covenants not to compete and indemnity provisions. However, the Base Compensation (as hereafter defined) varies for each Executive.

Payments are to be made in equal monthly installments. In the event the Company did not have sufficient cash flow to pay compensation in cash, Mr. Choi has the option to accept Elephant Talk’s restricted common shares for the same amount of compensation. Share price is to be calculated at 50% of the market trading bid price on the first trading day of the month for which the compensation is paid. Mr. Choi received a total compensation of $127,500 for the year 2005 and elected to receive 2,813,096 restricted common shares in lieu of compensation of $67,500. During 2005, Mr. Choi also received 81,944 restricted common shares valued at $5,000 for attending Board meetings.

The share price used in calculating stock compensation for the months of January 2005 to June 2005 was discounted by 50% of the market trading bid price on the first trading day of the month for which the compensation was paid. The share price used in calculating stock compensation for Mr. Choi for the years 2004 and 2003 was not discounted.

Compensation of Directors

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the directors were issued 680,690 shares and 2,111,105 shares of common stock valued at $75,000 and $95,000 for attending the Board meetings for the three quarters ending September 30, 2006 and for the year ended December 31, 2005. The common shares were valued at the market price of the Company’s shares on the first day of each month of each fiscal quarter in 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company terminated the director’s compensation policy to attend Board meetings effective October 1, 2006, and, therefore, no additional compensation was paid to directors for attending Board meetings.
