Table of Contents

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2 of Part I of this report includes forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “proposed,” “intended,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. You should read statements that contain these words carefully, because they discuss our expectations about our future operating results or our future financial condition or state other “forward-looking” information. There may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control. Before you invest in our securities, you should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K could substantially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition, and that upon the occurrence of any of these events, the trading price of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, growth rates, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report to conform these statements to actual results.

(a) Basis of Preparation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of T-Bay and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments and disclosures (consisting only of normal recurring items) considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading. These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of T-Bay for the year ended March 31, 2009 and notes thereto contained in the Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2010.

(c) (Loss)/ Earnings Per Share
Basic (loss)/earnings per share is computed by dividing the (loss)/earnings for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by including other potential common stock, including stock options and warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, if dilutive. There are no common stock equivalents outstanding for any period presented.

As of December 31, 2009, T-Bay had accumulated net operating loss carryforwards for United States federal tax purposes of approximately US$5,686,000, that are available to offset future taxable income. Realization of the net operating loss carryforwards is dependent upon future profitable operations. In addition, the carryforwards may be limited upon a change of control in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 382, as amended. Accordingly, management has recorded a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets associated with the net operating loss carryforwards to zero at December 31, 2009. The net operating loss carryforwards expire in years 2012 through 2029.
As of December 31, 2009, deferred tax assets consist of:-

6. Concentrations and Credit Risk
The Group operates principally in the PRC (including Hong Kong) and grants credit to its customers in this geographic region. Although the PRC is economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the Group’s operations.

12. New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) No. 855-10 (Prior authoritative guidance: SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”), or ASC No. 855-10, which sets forth general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC No.855-10 is effective after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC No. 855-10 had no material effect on the Company’s financial statements. We have evaluated subsequent events through February 10, 2010, the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. We have not identified any items requiring disclosure.
In April 2008, the FASB issued ASC No. 350-30-35-1 (Prior authoritative guidance: FSP FAS No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”). ASC No. 350-30-35-1 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under ASC No. 350-30-35-1, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. ASC No. 350-30-35-1 is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under other applicable accounting literature. ASC No. 350-30-35-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of ASC No. 350-30-35-1 had no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued three related staff positions to clarify the application of ASC No. 820 (Prior authoritative guidance: FSP FAS No.115-2 and FAS No. 124-2, “Recognition of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”) to fair value measurements in the current economic environment, modify the recognition of other-than-temporary impairments of debt securities, and require companies to disclose the fair value of financial instruments in interim periods. The final staff positions are effective for interim and annual periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption had no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC No.820 (Prior authoritative guidance: FSP No. 157-4 “Determining Whether a Market is Not Active and a Transaction Is Not Distressed”, or FSP No. 157-4). ASC No. 820 clarifies when markets are illiquid or that market pricing may not actually reflect the “real” value of an asset. If a market is determined to be inactive and market price is reflective of a distressed price then an alternative method of pricing can be used, such as a present value technique to estimate fair value. ASC No. 820 identifies factors to be considered when determining whether or not a market is inactive. ASC No. 820 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after June 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of ASC No. 820 had no material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC No.815 (Prior authoritative guidance: FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (ASC 815). ASC No.815 amends and clarifies the accounting guidance for the acquirer’s recognition and measurement of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests of an acquiree in a business combination. The adoption of ASC No.815 had no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC No.860 (Prior authoritative guidance: SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”), which eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, creates more stringent conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale, clarifies other sale-accounting criteria, and changes the initial measurement of a transferor’s interest in transferred financial assets. ASC No. 860 will be effective for transfers of financial assets in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009, and in interim periods within those fiscal years with earlier adoption prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASC No. 860 on its consolidated financial statements.

12. New Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC No. 810 (Prior authoritative guidance: SFAS No. 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”), which address the elimination of the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity. ASC No. 810 also replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additionally, ASC No. 810 provides more timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement with a variable interest entity. ASC No. 810 shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASC No. 810 on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC No. 105 (Prior authoritative guidance: SFAS No. 168 “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”), which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. ASC No. 105 explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. ASC No. 105 will become effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Adoption of ASC No. 105 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-02 (“ASU 2009-03”), “SEC update — Amendments to various topics containing SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins”, to update cross-references to Codification test. ASU 2009-03 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No.2009-05 (“ASU 2009-05”), ACS No. 820 “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value”. ASU 2009-5 applies to all entities that measure liabilities at fair value within the scope of ASC No, 820. ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more valuation techniques.
The amendments in ASU 2009-05 also clarify that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. It also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The guidance provided in ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period beginning after issuance. The adoption of ASU 2009-5 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-07 (“ASU 2009-07”), “Accounting for Various Topics”. ASU 2009-07 represents technical corrections to various topics containing SEC guidance based on external comments received. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-12 (“ASU 2009-12”), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820), Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)”. ASU 2009-12 provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures — Overall, for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share. This ASU also requires disclosures by major category of investment about the attributes of investments within the scope of the amendments in this Update. The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual periods after December 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

12. New Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In October 2009, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update that provides amendments to the criteria of ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. The amendments establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. This guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2010, and either prospective or retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance will become effective for the Company with the reporting period beginning April 1, 2010, except for the disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements, which will become effective for the Company with the reporting period beginning April 1, 2011. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2.  
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.
The following review concerns the nine months ended December 31, 2009, which should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto presented in the Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009.
In the wake of the global financial crisis, our customers have become slow in their payments. Also, they changed their orders from design services to mobile phone components, to provide some relief to the financial strain that they have. This behavior has the effect of transferring part of the financing of the production of mobile phone handsets from our customers to us. This, together with the reduction in aggregate mobile phone demand in the Mainland China market as well as the overseas market, resulted in a drastic reduction of customer orders for design services, for which the gross margin is relatively high. The global financial crisis has also caused an increase in credit risk on our receivables. We believe that we have made adequate provision for doubtful accounts in our financial statements. However, if the provision turned out to be inadequate, then our financial performance and our financial position would be adversely affected. The decline in purchases of design services and the slowness in collecting our accounts receivable pose potential risks to our financial performance. While there are limited steps that Management can take to mitigate these potential risks, we cannot assure that our customers’ financial position will improve. We anticipate, however, that the adverse business conditions described in this report will begin to improve around the middle of 2010. If conditions fail to improve, we would then change our business plan with a view to conserve cash to allow us to get through this extended period of temporary hardship. The anticipated receipt of $10,475,000 upon the maturity of notes receivable in March 2010, relating to the proceeds from the sale of our subsidiaries Fujian Qiaoxing and Zhangzhou Jiaxun, as well as the orderly collection of our accounts receivable from customers, are necessary to the maintenance of sufficient liquidity and capital resources for our operations during the next 12 months. While we do not anticipate any payment defaults on those obligations, we cannot assure investors that we will receive the proceeds of the notes and accounts receivable in full and on time. A failure to collect would adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources.

On November 25, 2009, T-Bay Holdings, Inc. transferred all its holdings (100%) in Amber Link International Limited to Wise Target International Limited for US$2,600. As a result of the transaction, the Company indirectly holds Amber Link and this transaction had no impact on the Company’s effective holdings of Amber Link and Sunplus.
THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008
Overview
For the three months ended December 31, 2009, our net revenue increased by US$7,000 from US$8,122,000 to US$8,129,000, practically no change as compared with the same period last year. We incurred a net loss of US$6,189,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared with a net loss of US$6,120,000 for the same period last year. This slight aggravation of loss was mainly the result of the significant decrease of income from design services and the increase in operating expenses, offset by the decrease in the impairment of assets held for sale, as discussed further below. We reported a per share loss of US$ 0.21 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared with a per share loss of US$0.20 for the same period last year.

Table of Contents

Our net revenue was $8,129,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, a slight increase of $7,000, or 0.1%, from $8,122,000 for the same period in the previous year. Revenue from sales of mobile phone components was $7,968,000 compared to $6,260,000 in the same period of the previous fiscal year, representing a 27.3% increase. Revenue from design services decreased to $161,000 from $1,862,000 in the same period of the previous fiscal year, representing a 91.4% decrease.
For the three months ended December 31, 2009, revenue from design services represented 2.0% of total revenue, while revenue from sales of mobile phone components was 98.0%, compared to 22.9% from design services and 77.1 % from sales of mobile phone components in the three months ended December 31, 2008.
Detailed information on sale of mobile phone components
Sales of mobile phone components (PCB and PCBA, the key components in the manufacture of mobile handsets) increased from $6,260,000 to $7,968,000, representing a 27.3% increase. The increase was largely the result of the transfer of orders from design services to mobile phone components. This reflected a change in customer preferences, as our customers conserved cash by purchasing mobile phone components rather than design services.
We design and manufacture PCB and provide PCBA according to our customers’ specifications. We manufactured more PCB and PCBA for our customers for the three months ended December 31, 2009 when compared with the three months ended December 31, 2008.
Detailed information on revenue from design services
Revenue from design services decreased to $161,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 from $ 1,862,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 representing a 91.4% decrease. In the three months ended December 31, 2009, there was a drastic reduction of customer orders for design services compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year. We believe that as a result of the global financial crisis, aggregate mobile phone handset demand in the Mainland China market, as well as the overseas market, began to shrink since the second half of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. By purchasing components rather than design services, customers have been able to conserve cash. We expect sales of design services will start to pick up gradually around the middle of 2010.

Cost of Revenue
For the three months ended December 31, 2009, cost of revenue increased to $7,624,000 from $6,115,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, representing a 24.7% increase. Cost of revenue primarily consisted of purchase cost of raw and processed materials and salaries of engineers and designers. The increase was largely the result of transfer of orders from design services, for which cost of revenue was relatively low, compared with mobile phone components, for which cost of revenue was relatively high. We expect this trend of order transfer will start to reverse gradually around the middle of 2010.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit was $505,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to $2,007,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, representing a 74.8% decrease. The decrease in gross profit was mainly attributable to the significant decrease in revenue from design services with high profit margin.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consisted of selling expenses and general and administrative (G&A) expenses. For the three months ended December 31, 2009, operating expenses were $6,756,000, as compared to $5,001,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, representing a 35.1% increase.

Operating expenses during the three month ended December 31, 2009 were $6,756,000, or 83.1% of revenue, compared to $5,001,000, or 61.6% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2008. The increase was mainly attributed to the increase in G&A expenses.
G&A expenses were $6,724,000, or 82.7% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to $4,943,000, or 60.9% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2008. The increase in G&A expenses was mainly due to the increase in allowance for doubtful receivables. With a view to halting further increase in allowance for doubtful receivables, in its decision to grant credit to its customers, the Company has been using more stringent criteria in the evaluation of their creditworthiness.

Table of Contents

We increased allowance for doubtful receivables by $6,332,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $4,276,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. An allowance for doubtful receivables is maintained for all customers based on a variety of factors, including the overall economy and industrial condition, length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience. For the three months ended December 31, 2009, particular consideration was given to the increased credit risk due to the sluggish economic climate, which was evident from the increase in the length of time the receivables were past due.
Selling expenses decreased from $ 58,000 to $32,000. The decrease was mainly attributable to less marketing-related expenses in keeping with the decline in demand for design services.
Loss from Operations
Loss from operation was $6,251,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to loss from operations of $2,994,000 for the same period in the previous year. The aggravation of loss was mainly attributable to the decrease of revenue in design service and the increase of allowance for doubtful receivables.
Income Tax
Sunplus is subject to PRC Enterprise Income Tax. Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Laws, the prevailing statutory rate of enterprise income tax in Shanghai was 25% as of January 1, 2008.
For the three months ended December 31, 2009, Sunplus recorded an income tax expense of $nil compared to $259,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Sunplus was in a loss situation in the three months ended December 31, 2009.
Fujian QiaoXing and JiaXun were inactive and were not subject to any income tax in the three months ended December 31, 2008.
Non-controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests represented the portion of loss of Sunplus that we do not own. For the three months ended December 31, 2009, non-controlling interests were attributable to the 5% of the equity interest of Sunplus owned by Shanghai Fanna.

Impairment of Assets Held for Sale
Impairment of assets held for sale for the three months ended 31 December 2008 represented the impairment to sell one hundred percent (100%) of Sunplus’ interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary Zhangzhou JiaXun Communication Facility Co., Ltd. (“Zhangzhou Jiaxun”) and eighty percent (80%) of Shanghai Sunplus Communication Technology Co., Ltd. (“Sunplus”), a ninety-five percent (95%) Chinese subsidiary of T-Bay Holdings, Inc.’s interest in its subsidiary Fujian QiaoXing Industry Co., Ltd. (“Fujian QiaoXing”).
On December 31, 2008, Sunplus entered into an agreement with Huizhou Liyin Electronics Co., Ltd. (“Huizhou Liyin”) to sell one hundred percent (100%) of Sunplus’ interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary Zhangzhou JiaXun. The purchase price of Zhangzhou JiaXun was RMB5,000,000 (US$733,000). However, on March 10, 2009, pursuant to a supplemental agreement between Sunplus and Huizhou Liyin, Huizhou Liyin and Sunplus rescinded the original agreement. On the same date, Sunplus entered into another agreement with Qiaoxing Telecom to dispose of all its interest in Zhangzhou JiaXun at a consideration of RMB5,000,000 (US$733,000). The disposal criteria were met on December 31, 2008. On April 9, 2009 legal title and ownership of Zhangzhou Jiaxun were transferred.
On December 31, 2008, Sunplus entered into another agreement with Huizhou Liyin to sell eighty percent (80%) of Sunplus’ interest in its subsidiary Fujian QiaoXing. The purchase price of Fujian QiaoXing was RMB84,000,000 (US$12,312,000). The transaction was completed on March 20, 2009.
The total purchase price of these two companies was RMB89,000,000, equivalent to US$13,045,000, US$3,030,000 less than their book values as of December 31, 2008. As a result, we recorded an impairment loss of US$3,030,000.
There was no such impairment of assets held for sale for the three months ended December 31, 2009.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders
As a result of the above items, net loss attributable to common stockholders was $6,189,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $6,120,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. This slight aggravation of loss was mainly the result of the significant decrease of income from design services and the increase in operating expenses, offset by the decrease in the impairment of assets held for sale.
Loss per share attributable to common stockholders
We reported loss per share attributable to common stockholders of $0.21, based on a weighted average number of shares outstanding of 30,088,174 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Our outstanding common stock was 30,088,174 shares as of December 31, 2009. We do not have any preferred stock issued or outstanding warrants or options.

NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008
Overview
Our net revenue decreased 5.4% from $30,569,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 to $28,912,000 for the same period in the current fiscal year, which reflected zero of raw material sales and a transition from design services, accompanied by a substantial increase in our sales of mobile phone components. Our net results for the nine-month period changed from a profit of $760,000 to a loss of $15,596,000. This is primarily due to increase in cost of sales, which was driven by weaker margins on mobile phone components, and an increased provision for doubtful receivables. We recorded a loss per share of $0.52 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, and earnings per share of $0.03 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008.

Table of Contents

For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, revenue from design services represented 1.9% of total revenue, while revenue from sales of mobile phone components was 98.1%, compared to 33.7% from design services and 64.4% from sales of mobile phone components for the nine months ended December 31, 2008.
Detailed information on sale of mobile phone components
Sales of mobile phone components (PCB and PCBA, the key components in the manufacture of mobile handsets) increased from $19,679,000 to $28,364,000, representing a 44.1% increase. The increase was largely the result of the transfer of orders from design services to mobile phone components. For customers who would like to delay their cash outflow to relieve the strain on their finances, they preferred buying mobile phone components rather than design services.
We design and manufacture PCB and provide PCBA according to our customers’ specifications. We manufactured more PCB and PCBA for our customer for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 when compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2008.
Detailed information on revenue from design services
Revenue from design services decreased from $10,317,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 to $548,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, representing a 94.7% decrease. In the nine months ended December 31, 2009, there was a drastic reduction of customer orders for design services compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year. We believe that as a result of the global financial crisis, aggregate mobile phone handset demand in the Mainland China market, as well as the overseas market, began to shrink after the second half of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. By purchasing components rather than design services, customers have been able to conserve cash. We expect sales of design services will start to pick up gradually around the middle of 2010.
Cost of Revenue
For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, cost of revenue increased to $27,054,000 from $18,690,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008, representing a 44.8% increase. Cost of revenue primarily consisted of purchase cost of raw and processed materials and salaries of engineers and designers. The increase was largely the result of the transfer of orders from design services, for which cost of revenue is relatively low, as compared to mobile phone components, for which cost of revenue is relatively high.

The decrease in gross profit was mainly attributable to the significant decrease in revenue from high profit margin design services.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consisted of selling expenses and general and administrative (G&A) expenses. For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, operating expenses were $17,764,000, as compared to $6,464,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008, representing a 174.8% increase.

Operating expenses during the nine month ended December 31, 2009 were $17,764,000, or 61.4% of revenue, compared to $6,464,000, or 21.1 % of revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. The significant increase was mainly attributed to the increase in G&A expenses.
G&A expenses were $17,668,000, or 61.1% of revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, compared to $6,268,000, or 20.5% of revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. The significant increase in G&A expenses was mainly due to increase in allowance for doubtful receivables. With a view to halting further increase in allowance for doubtful receivables, in its decision to grant credit to its customers, the Company has been using more stringent criteria in the evaluation of their creditworthiness.
We increased allowance for doubtful receivables by $17,580,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $4,414,000, for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. An allowance for doubtful receivables is maintained for all customers based on a variety of factors, including the overall economy and industrial condition, length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience. For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, particular consideration was given to the increased credit risk due to the sluggish economic climate, which was evident from the increase in the length of time the receivables were past due.

Selling expenses decreased from $196,000 to $96,000. The decrease was mainly attributable to less marketing-related expenses in keeping with the decline in demand for design services.

Loss from operation was $15,906,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, compared to income from operation of $5,415,000 for the same period in the previous year. The change from a profit situation to a loss situation was mainly attributable to the decrease of revenue in design service and the increase of allowance for doubtful receivables.
Income Tax
Sunplus is subject to PRC Enterprise Income Tax. Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Laws, the prevailing statutory rate of enterprise income tax in Shanghai was 25% as of January 1, 2008.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, Sunplus recorded an income tax expense $7,000, compared to $1,894,000 in the nine months ended December 31, 2008. The income tax expenses of $7,000 related to an under-provision in the prior year. No income tax expense relating to the current period was recorded for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as Sunplus was in a loss situation for this period.
Fujian QiaoXing and JiaXun were inactive and were not subject to any income tax in the nine months ended December 31, 2008.
Non-controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests represented the portion of (loss) / income of Sunplus that we do not own. For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, non-controlling interests were attributable to the 5% of the equity interest of Sunplus owned by Shanghai Fanna.

Impairment of Assets Held for Sale
Impairment of assets held for sale for the nine months ended 31 December 2008 represented the impairment to sell one hundred percent (100%) of Sunplus’ interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary Zhangzhou JiaXun Communication Facility Co., Ltd. (“Zhangzhou Jiaxun”) and eighty percent (80%) of Shanghai Sunplus Communication Technology Co., Ltd. (“Sunplus”), a ninety-five percent (95%) Chinese subsidiary of T-Bay Holdings, Inc.’s interest in its subsidiary Fujian QiaoXing Industry Co., Ltd. (“Fujian QiaoXing”).
On December 31, 2008, Sunplus entered into an agreement with Huizhou Liyin Electronics Co., Ltd. (“Huizhou Liyin”) to sell one hundred percent (100%) of Sunplus’ interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary Zhangzhou JiaXun. The purchase price of Zhangzhou JiaXun was RMB5,000,000 (US$733,000). However, on March 10, 2009, pursuant to a supplemental agreement between Sunplus and Huizhou Liyin, Huizhou Liyin and Sunplus rescinded the original agreement. On the same date, Sunplus entered into another agreement with Qiaoxing Telecom to dispose of all its interest in Zhangzhou JiaXun at a consideration of RMB5,000,000 (US$733,000). The disposal criteria were met on December 31, 2008. On April 9, 2009 legal title and ownership of Zhangzhou Jiaxun were transferred.
On December 31, 2008, Sunplus entered into another agreement with Huizhou Liyin to sell eighty percent (80%) of Sunplus’ interest in its subsidiary Fujian QiaoXing. The purchase price of Fujian QiaoXing was RMB84,000,000 (US$12,312,000). The transaction was completed on March 20, 2009.
The total purchase price of these two companies was RMB89,000,000, equivalent to US$13,045,000, US$3,030,000 less than their book values as of December 31, 2008. As a result, we recorded an impairment loss of US$3,030,000.
There was no such impairment of assets held for sale for the nine months ended December 31, 2009.
Net(loss)/Income attributable to common stockholders
As a result of the above items, net loss attributable to common stockholders was $15,596,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $760,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. This adverse change was mainly the result of a significant decrease of income from design services and, on the other hand, a significant increase in operating expenses, offset by the decrease in the impairment of assets held for sale.

(Loss)/earnings per share attributable to common stockholders
We reported loss per share attributable to common stockholders of $0.52, based on a weighted average number of shares outstanding of 30,088,174 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009. Our outstanding common stock was 30,088,174 shares as of December 31, 2009. We do not have any preferred stock issued or outstanding warrants or options.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Assets
As of December 31, 2009, the total assets of the Company were $34,652,000 which consisted of $32,797,000 in current assets, $1,808,000 in property, plant and equipment (PPE) and $47,000 in intangible assets.
Liabilities
Our total liabilities as of December 31, 2009 were $6,306,000, which consisted of $2,051,000 in current liabilities and $4,255,000 in long-term liabilities. Long-term liabilities were all liabilities due to shareholders.
Capital Resources
For nine months ended December 31, 2009, we were principally engaged in sales of mobile phone components and provision of design solutions of wireless communication devices. We did not declare or pay dividends in the nine months ended December 31, 2009.
For the nine months ended December 31 2009, $19,697,000 was used in operating activities and $14,000 was provided by investing activities and $106,000 was provided by financing activities. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $19,587,000 to $906,000 as of December 31, 2009 from $20,493,000 as of March 31, 2009.
We used $19,697,000 in operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $2,222,000 generated from operating activities for the same period in the last fiscal year. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 related to net loss adjusted for items not involving movement of cash for the period, augmented mainly by the increase in notes receivable of $10,438,000 and the increase in accounts receivable of $21,939,000, offset by the decrease in prepayments, deposits and other receivables of $11,757,000.
In arriving at the net loss, we made an allowance of $17,580,000 for doubtful receivables for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, which did not involve any outflow of cash.

Net cash provided by investing activities amounted to $14,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, compared to net cash used of $1,000 for the same period in the last fiscal year. Cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 was mainly proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $106,000, compared to net cash provided of $78,000 for the same period in the last fiscal year. For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, net cash flow provided by financing activities related primarily to the increase in advances from a shareholder of $106,000.
As of December 31, 2009, we had capital commitments of $38,000 in relation to acquisition of intangible assets.
We believe that our cash holdings of $906,000 at December 31, 2009 together with the cash to be received when our accounts receivable are paid and when the notes receivable of $10,475,000 mature in March 2010 are sufficient to support our operations and capital commitments, as well as to meet our working capital needs for the next twelve months. The anticipated receipt of $10,475,000 upon the maturity of notes receivable in March 2010, relating to the proceeds from the sale of our subsidiaries Fujian Qiaoxing and Zhangzhou Jiaxun, as well as the orderly collection of our accounts receivable from customers, are necessary to the maintenance of sufficient liquidity and capital resources for our operations during the next 12 months. While we do not anticipate any payment defaults on those obligations, we cannot assure investors that we will receive the proceeds of the notes and accounts receivable in full and on time. A failure to collect would adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources.
Off-Balance Sheet arrangements
The Company has not engaged in any off-balance sheet transactions since its inception.

ITEM 3.  
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The majority of our revenues derived and expenses and liabilities incurred are denominated in Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) with a relatively small amount in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”) and United States dollars (“US$” or “$”). Thus, our revenues and operating results may be impacted by exchange rate fluctuations in the currencies of China and Hong Kong. We have not tried to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations by using hedging transactions. However, we may choose to do so in the future. The availability and effectiveness of any hedging transactions may be limited and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exchange rate risks. Accordingly, we may experience economic losses and negative impacts on earnings and equity as a result of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

ITEM 4T.  
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are controls and other procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information that we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended December 31, 2009, an evaluation was performed by our management, with the participation of the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.
As previously disclosed under Item 9A (T) “Controls and Procedures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level because of certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, including the lack of (i) effective communication of the importance of internal controls over financial reporting throughout the structure of the Company, (ii) an adequate tone set by management around control consciousness, (iii) sufficient in-house capacity to review and supervise the accounting operations, (iv) knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements, (v) anti-fraud program designed to detect and prevent fraud (vi) effective risk assessment and management mechanism, and (vii) personnel with an appropriate level of experience, training in our internal audit department.
In addition, on September 2, 2009, the two independent directors who composed the audit committee resigned from their positions as independent directors of the Company effective September 2, 2009. There is no audit committee since that date. Our management considers that the absence of an audit committee constitutes a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting.

Table of Contents

As a result of the foregoing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2009.
Each of the control deficiencies described here could result in a misstatement of the aforementioned accounts or disclosures that might result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. However, giving full consideration to these material weaknesses, we performed adequate analyses and procedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations in order to provide assurance that our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP. As a result of these procedures, we concluded that the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.
Change in Internal Controls
There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
