Pre effective Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed August 27, 2008;
File No. 333-150233
 
Dear Ms. Hardy:

Reference is made to your comment letter, dated September 11, 2008 to our client, China Solar & Clean Energy Solutions. Inc.(the “Company”), relating to the subject registration statement the “Comment Letter”). Set forth below are the comments contained in the Comment Letter followed by our response thereto:

General

1. There are numerous changes made in the filing that are not marked or redlined as required by Rule 310 of Regulation S-T in the marked or redlined version of the filing on the EDGAR system. Please comply with the rule's requirement in future filings. Refer to the EDGAR Filer Manual for instructions on marking changed material. If you require technical assistance, you may contact the EDGAR operations staff at the telephone number listed in the manual.
 
Response: Each change we have made to the prior version has been marked.

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity and Comprehensive Income. page F-4

2. Please present a total for comprehensive income. See paragraph 27 of SFAS 130.
 
Response: We have revised the financial statements to present total comprehensive income.

Note 11 Net Income Per Share, page F-40

3. We note your response to prior comment 11. Please address the following:

 
·
Please tell us how you determined that the convertible preferred stock was antidilutive in accordance with paragraphs 13 through 16 of SFAS 128.

 
·
Your disclosures on page F-36 indicate that there is a conversion price associated with the class A preferred stock. It does not appear that you applied the treasury stock method in accordance with paragraph 17 of SFAS 128. Please advise or revise as necessary.

 
·
In your calculation of dilutive preferred stock under the if converted method for the three months ended June 30, 2008, it is not clear why your calculation starts with March 1, 2008 instead of April 1, 2008. It is also not clear why the total period included in your calculation exceeds 91 days. Please advise or revise as necessary.

 
·
The "as reported" amounts included in your analysis to summarize the impact of not using the treasury stock method does not agree to the amounts reported in your Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007. Please revise as necessary.
 
Response: The Company determined that the convertible preferred stock was antidilutive by calculating maximum potential dilution in accordance with paragraphs 13 through 16 of SFAS 128. Had the convertible preferred stock and the associated dividend been included in the diluted EPS calculation, diluted EPS would have been $0.35, while basic EPS was $0.25, hence the result was antidilutive. The following shows the computation of diluted EPS had the convertible preferred stock and the associated dividend been included in the diluted EPS calculation:

We revised our disclosure on page F-36 to indicate that the class A preferred stock is convertible into one share of common stock at the conversion ratio of one to one. The convertible preferred stock does not permit or require cash payment in accordance with paragraphs 17 and 51 through 53 of SFAS 128. Therefore, the treasury stock method was not applied.

We have revised the calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2008 on Exhibit B to start on April 1, 2008 and adjusted the total period used to 91 days. The change decreased the denominator by 442,219, from 15,584,542 to 15,142,323, but did not have an effect to the diluted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

We have revised the analysis on Exhibit A to change “as reported” to “as revised on the Form S-1/A dated August 28, 2008”.

4. Your responses to prior comments 35 and 36 in your letter dated June 25, 2006 as well as your response to prior comment 11 in your letter dated August 25, 2008 indicate that you have determined that revisions need to be made to the diluted net income per share amounts reported in your Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007. Please provide us an analysis which shows both the individual and aggregate impact of each of these revisions on your reported diluted net income per share amounts. This analysis should include your consideration of the guidance in SAB Topic 1:M in determining whether the revision was material on both an individual and aggregate basis. In a similar manner, please provide us an analysis for any revisions you determined needed to be made to the diluted net income per share amounts reported in your Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
 
Response: See below.
 
Basic and Diluted EPS - December 31, 2007
 
Through the course of the SEC review, we identified errors in calculating diluted EPS during the year ended December 31, 2007.

The following analysis provides a comparison amongst the diluted EPS as reported on the Form 10-KSB, as reported on the Form S-1/A dated August 27, 2008, and the final revised calculation to correct all identified errors:

The errors identified in the course of responding to prior comments 35 and 36 in our letter dated June 25, 2006 were as follows:

 
1.
Exclusion of the preferred stock dividend of $975,807 from the numerator in calculating diluted EPS.

 
2.
Improper inclusion of 900,000 contingently issuable shares of common stock, weighted as 450,000 shares, in the denominator.

Had the preferred stock dividend been included in the numerator and the 450,000 contingently issuable shares of common stock been excluded from the denominator, diluted EPS would have been $0.09 more than as reported on Form 10-KSB, from $0.14 to $0.23. The Company, with the concurrence of its auditors revised the diluted EPS to $0.23 in its Form S-1/A registration statements dated June 25, 2008 and August 27, 2008 to correct the errors identified.

The errors identified in the course of responding to prior comment 11 in our letter dated August 25, 2008 were as follows:

 
1.
Misapplication of the treasury stock method on outstanding warrants. The correct application decreased the denominator by 3,499,232 shares, from 3,690,639 to 191,407 shares.

 
2.
Consequently, the decrease in the denominator caused the inclusion of the preferred stock and associated dividend to be antidilutive. Had the preferred stock and dividend been included, diluted EPS would have been $0.35.
 
4

 
Had the treasury stock method been applied correctly, diluted EPS would have been $0.10 more than as reported on the Form 10-KSB, from $0.14 to $0.24, or $0.01 more than as revised on the amended Form S-1/A dated June 25, 2008 and August 27, 2008, from $0.23 to $0.24. The Company, with the concurrence of its auditors did not revise the diluted EPS to $0.24 in its Form S-1/A registration statements (August 25, 2008).
 
The Company and its auditor reviewed the understatement of diluted EPS individually and in aggregate and concluded that it was inappropriate to reflect the understatement, individually and in aggregate, as a financial statement restatement since the revisions were determined to be immaterial to investors. The Company and its auditor assessed the materiality of the diluted EPS revisions in accordance with the guidance provided in Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 1: M. The Company evaluated the errors on the basis of both quantitative and qualitative factors as required by SAB Topic 1:M.
 
Quantitative measures evaluation
 
The Company considered the percentage changes to diluted EPS as well as the absolute change to historical diluted EPS, both individually and in aggregate, and concluded that both measures were material to historical diluted EPS, as follows:

The Company then evaluated the effect of qualitative factors of each individual misstatement on an aggregate basis, such as relevance in determining the significance of the revision of diluted EPS to investors. The Company understood that “the purpose of presenting both basic and diluted EPS in financial statements is to inform financial statement users of situations that will likely occur (Basic EPS) and to provide “worst case” dilutive situations (Dilutive EPS)”1 . The Company has concluded that its revision to diluted EPS might not be relevant to investor’s decision-making, as it represents a hypothetical situation.
 
Additionally, the Company evaluated the diluted EPS revision against criteria established in SFAS No. 16 Prior Period Adjustments and noted that the revision did not result in an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings.
 
Furthermore, the Company noted that its revision to diluted EPS is not considered an “accounting-error type,” per researchers T. Baldwin and D. Yoo, in their study of restatements2 .
 
Qualitative measures evaluation
 
The Company next evaluated the following qualitative measures of each individual misstatement to determine if the revisions were material. The following summarizes our consideration for the $0.09 misstatement identified during the course of responding to prior comments 35 and 36 in our letter dated June 25, 2006:
 
·
The Company noted that the revision was the result of an error in a precise measurement and not from an estimate; as such, there was no degree of imprecision inherent in the misstatement; 
     
  · The Company noted that the revision did not affect its compliance with regulatory requirements;
     
  · The revision did not mask a change in diluted EPS trends. The Company’s diluted EPS ranged from $.02 to $.20 for the last 12 quarters ( 2005-2007); the adjustment did not mask that trend;
     
  · The misstatement was not a result of the Company's attempt to hide a failure to meet analysts' consensus expectations. Additionally, reporting the revised diluted EPS in the amended Form S-1 was not an attempt by management to meet or exceed expectations;
     
  · The Company noted that the revision would not have changed the Company's diluted EPS to a loss in 2007 nor did the revision impact the trend of diluted earnings for the full years ended December 31, 2006 or 2007; and
     
  · The Company noted that the revision did not affect the Company’s compliance with loan covenants or other contractual requirements.

After considering the facts, the Company concluded, with the concurrence of its auditors, that the revision to diluted EPS by $0.09 did not have a material impact on the decision-making of investors and therefore, did not rise to the level of a restatement.
 
The following summarizes our consideration for the $0.01 misstatement identified during the course of responding to prior comment 11 in our letter dated August 25, 2008:
 
·
The Company noted that the misstatement did not affect its compliance with regulatory requirements;
     
  · The misstatement did not mask a change in diluted EPS trends. The Company’s diluted EPS ranged from $.02 to $.20 for the last 12 quarters ( 2005-2007); the adjustment did not mask that trend;
     
  · The misstatement was not a result of the Company's attempt to hide a failure to meet analysts' consensus expectations;
     
  · The Company noted that the misstatement would not have changed the Company's diluted EPS to a loss in 2007;
     
  · The Company noted that the misstatement did not affect the Company’s compliance with loan covenants or other contractual requirements;
     
  · The Company noted that the misstatement is irrelevant to management’s compensation awards or bonuses;
     
  · The Company noted that the misstatement did not involve concealment of unlawful transactions; and
     
  · Management does not expect a significant positive and negative market reaction to the known misstatement
 
After considering the facts, the Company concluded, with concurrence of its auditors, that the misstatement of $0.01 to the revised diluted EPS did not have a material impact on the decision-making of investors and therefore, did not rise to the level of a restatement or revision.
 
The following summarizes our consideration for the aggregate misstatement of $0.10 identified during the course of responding to prior comments 35 and 36 in our letter dated June 25, 2006 and prior comment 11 in our letter dated August 25, 2008:
 
  · The Company noted that the misstatement did not affect its compliance with regulatory requirements;
     
  · The misstatement did not mask a change in diluted EPS trends. The Company’s diluted EPS ranged from $.02 to $.20 for the last 12 quarters ( 2005-2007); the adjustment did not mask that trend;
     
  · The misstatement was not a result of the Company's attempt to hide a failure to meet analysts' consensus expectations;
     
  · The Company noted that the misstatement would not have changed the Company's diluted EPS to a loss in 2007;
 
8

 
  · The Company noted that the misstatement did not affect the Company’s compliance with loan covenants or other contractual requirements;
     
  · The Company noted that the misstatement is irrelevant to management’s compensation awards or bonuses; and
     
  · The Company noted that the misstatement did not involve concealment of unlawful transactions.
 
After considering quantitative and qualitative facts, the Company concluded, with concurrence of its auditors, that the aggregate misstatement of $0.10 to the diluted EPS did not have a material impact on the decision-making of investors and therefore, did not rise to the level of a restatement.
 
Basic and Diluted EPS - March 31, 2008
 
In a similar manner, we identified errors in calculating basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The following analysis provides a comparison between the diluted EPS as reported on the Form 10-Q, and the revised calculation to correct all identified errors:

The errors identified in calculating basic and diluted EPS are as follows:
 
 
1.
Warrants exercised to common stock and preferred stock converted to common stock were not included in the denominator in calculating basic EPS, which totaled 239,516 shares of common stock, weighted as 123,587 shares.
 
 
2.
Conversion of preferred stocks was not weighted. After taking into account the preferred stock conversions, the denominator increased by 89,351 shares under the if-converted method.
 
 
3.
Misapplication of the treasury stock method on warrants outstanding. The correct application decreased the denominator by 4,868,016 shares, from 5,665,379 to 797,363 shares.
 
 
4.
Contingently issuable shares were not included in diluted EPS calculation.
 
The net effect of the identified errors did not have an impact in the diluted EPS of $0.03. Based on this, we determined, with the concurrence of our auditors that a revision or a restatement to the Form 10Q for the three months ended 3/31/2008 is not considered necessary.
 
Below is a detailed computation of how the Company arrived at the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the purpose of calculating basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31 2008, as revised, to reflect error corrections:

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, warrants exercisable into 2,369,869 shares of common stock were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as the average market price of the common stock of $2.79 during the period was more than the exercise price of the warrants, thereby making the warrants antidilutive under the treasury method.

Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income, pages F-116 and F-118

5. We remind you that the pro forma statements of income should reflect adjustments computed assuming that the transactions were consummated at the beginning of the fiscal year presented and carried forward through any interim period presented. It appears that adjustments on your pro forma statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 are computed assuming that the merger occurred at the beginning of the six months instead of at the beginning of the fiscal year presented, which is January 1, 2007. For example, in your description of adjustment (A), you state that the adjustment was determined as if the acquisition was completed on January 1, 2008. Refer to Rule 1 02(b)(6) of Regulation S-X. Please revise or advise as necessary.

Response: We have revised the December 31, 2007 pro forma financial statements to reflect the acquisition of SZPSP as if it occurred on January 1, 2007.

Note A, page F-119

6. We note your response to prior comment 12. It is not clear why there would not be a similar pro forma income statement adjustments related to the amortization of these amounts in your pro forma income statement for the year ended December 31, 2007. It appears that you have only included this adjustment in your pro forma income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Please advise or revise as necessary.

Response: We have revised the December 31, 2007 pro forma financial statements to include Note A to reflect amortization of intangible assets and write-off of in-process R&D arising from the acquisition of SZPSP as if it occurred on January 1, 2007.

Notes B and D, page F-119

7. It is unclear how you determined which potential common shares were dilutive and therefore should be included in your determination of pro forma diluted earnings per share. For example, your response to prior comment 11 indicates that the effect of the convertible preferred stock is antidilutive for the year ended December 31, 2007; however, your pro forma financial information indicates that the effect would be dilutive. For each type of potential common shares, please tell us how you determined whether or not the potential common shares should be included in your determination of diluted earnings per share. Please also address what consideration you gave to applying the treasury stock method in your determination of pro forma diluted earnings per share in a similar manner to your response to prior comment 11.

Response: The historical diluted EPS on the pro forma financial statements under Notes B and D reflects the diluted EPS as reported on the financial statements included in the Form S-1/A dated August 27, 2008. Exhibit A from our response to prior comment 11 indicated that the preferred stocks were considered antidilutive as a result of the decrease in the denominator after applying the treasury stock method on outstanding warrants. Had the treasury stock been applied, it would have resulted to diluted EPS of $0.24 instead of $0.23, a difference of $0.01. As discussed on our response to comment 4 of this letter, the difference of $0.01 was considered immaterial, so no revisions were made to the December 31, 2007 financial statements included in Form S-1/A dated August 25, 2008 and to the historical diluted EPS on the pro forma financial statements.

Under Note B of the pro forma financial statements on Form S-1/A filed on October 1, 2008, our determination as to whether or not potential common shares should be included in our calculation of pro forma diluted EPS does not reflect revisions from similar errors identified in the course of responding to prior comment 11. Had we revised the pro forma diluted EPS calculation for errors, pro forma diluted EPS would have been $0.17 instead of $0.16, a difference of $0.01. The following table provides a comparison of the pro forma diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2007 between as reported on the pro forma financial statements under Note B on the Form S-1/A filed on October 1, 2008 and our revised pro forma diluted EPS calculation:

We determined from our revised calculation that 2,618,294 warrants were antidilutive since the average market price for the year ended December 31, 2007 was less than the warrants exercise price. As a consequence of applying the treasury stock method to the warrants, the denominator decreased by 5,783,868, which made the preferred stock and associated dividend antidilutive as well. The contingently issuable shares of 900,000 were not included in the pro forma diluted EPS calculation since the 2007 earnings target was met and the 900,000 was released from escrow in 2008. Similarly, the contingently issuable shares of 2,000,000 were not included in the pro forma diluted EPS calculation since it relates to 2008 and 2009 earnings target.
We determined, with the concurrence of our auditors, that the difference of $0.01 between the as reported pro forma diluted EPS on the Form S-1/A dated filed on October 1, 2008 and the revised pro forma diluted EPS calculation was considered immaterial and that no revision was the considered necessary. We applied the same materiality consideration as to that discussed on our response to comment number 4 of this letter.

As a result of the errors identified, we have conscientiously applied SFAS 128 in calculating historical and pro forma diluted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2008, under Note D of the pro forma financial statements. Our determination as to whether or not potential common shares should be included in our determination of diluted EPS was included on Exhibit B from our response to prior comment 11, and the revised Exhibit B to this letter.

The Company failed to apply the provisions of SFAS 128, paragraph 17 on the warrants for the year ended December 31, 2007. Had the Company applied the treasury stock method on the warrants, weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the purpose of calculating diluted EPS would have been 6,396,697, instead of 10,783,026, calculated as follows:

B. The convertible preferred stocks were excluded from the denominator and the associated beneficial conversion was excluded from the numerator in the diluted EPS calculation as the assumed conversion antidilutive effect for the year ended December 31, 2007.

D: Calculated as follows:
                         
(($2.41 - $1.90) / $2.41) x 1,774,194 = 375,452
                         
(($2.41 - $2.40) / $2.41) x 1,774,194 = 7,362
                         

Antidilution:
For the year ended December 31, 2007, warrants to purchase 2,007,171 shares of common stock should have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as the average market price of the common stock of $2.41 during the year was more than the exercise price of the warrants, thereby making the warrants antidilutive under the treasury method.

The following is the basic and diluted EPS table to show the net effect of the errors in calculating diluted net income per share for the year ended December 31, 2007:

Had the Company used the treasury stock method, diluted EPS would have been $0.24 instead of $0.23, a difference of $0.01. The difference was the result of the decrease in the denominator for the change in the number of dilutive warrants and preferred stock and the decrease in the numerator for the exclusion of related beneficial conversion of the preferred shares.
