Item 1. 
Business.

Overview 
 
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on August 8, 1984 with the name of "Sharus Corporation" with authorized common stock of 50,000,000 shares with par value of $0.001 per share. On June 13, 1989 the domicile of the Company was changed to the state of Nevada in connection with a name change to "Golden Quest, Inc." On January 7, 2002, the name was changed to "T-Bay Holdings, Inc." as part of a reverse stock split of 400 shares of outstanding stock for one share. On January 17, 2005 the Company carried out a reverse stock split of 20 shares of outstanding stock for one share.   After the reverse split, the Company has authorized common stock of 100,000,000 shares common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock both with par value of $0.001.

On August 1, 2005, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) between Wise Target International Limited, (“Wise Target”), Amber Link International Limited (“Amber Link”), Ms. Meilian Li and Mr. Xiaofeng Li.  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, following due diligence, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Wise Target and Amber Link, making them wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.  Wise Target and Amber Link together owned and controlled 95% of Shanghai Sunplus Communication Technology Co., Ltd., (“Sunplus”), a Sino-foreign joint venture. The Agreement required the Company to issue 18,550,000 shares of restricted common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Wise Target and Amber Link.  This transaction was subsequently completed on August 16, 2005.

We conduct our business through our 95% owned subsidiary, Shanghai Sunplus Communication Technology Co., Ltd., a Sino-foreign joint venture established in China in 2002, which provides a wide span of mobile handset design and other services to leading mobile handset brand owners in China.  Sunplus also provides total solution services to its customers, starting from new product concept identification, handset exterior design, hardware and software design, material procurement, production, and after-sale maintenance services. Historically, our customers included multinational brand names such as Motorola, NEC, Siemens, China Telecom, Panasonic and Alcatel. We also conduct our business through Amber Link. Our major customers in China in fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 were Shenzhen Henkai Co. Ltd., Shenzhen Xuanhua Electronic Technology Co. Ltd., Shenzhen Naide Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Hocom Co., Ltd. and Huizhou QiaoXing Development Co., Ltd.

We focus on the vast wireless telecommunication market in China. By working closely with top technology partners, we provide tailored mobile handset design solution services according to our customers’ specifications. We believe we have strong capabilities to design mobile handsets to support a broad range of wireless communications standards, baseband platforms and components. We also provide production support to facilitate our customers’ manufacturing and supply chain management processes.

Business Model

We are one of the larger wireless telecommunication design houses in China. We generate our revenue mainly by charging design services fees and royalty fees and by selling mobile phone components.

Revenue from Design Services

We charge design fees directly or indirectly for design solutions or services provided by us. The design fee consists of NRE (non-recurring engineering) fees and royalty fees.

NRE fees are one-off fees for a certain design project. Typically, NRE fee is required before we formally launch the project. We will start the development of a certain solution only if we have received the pre-paid NRE fee. To minimize the operation risk, the NRE fee should be no less than the projected R&D fee for a certain design solution.

We also charge royalty fees based upon the product sales volume of our customers. When the whole handset is sold in the market, we charge royalty fees monthly on every handset manufactured by our customers using our designs. We usually ask for a minimum volume term in our contracts to encourage larger volume order in a certain period of time.

Revenue from Sales of Handsets and Components

We also provide production support to facilitate our customers’ manufacture of mobile handsets and components. By closely working with our OEMs, we manufacture and sell PCBs, PCBAs and handsets to our customers. We are fully responsible for material purchases, cost control and quality control.

Competitive Strengths

Strategic Relationships with Business Partners

As the mobile handset industry is characterized by rapid technological changes, it is essential for us to keep abreast of and have access to the latest technologies by working closely with the world’s leading technology and platform providers. We continue to work closely with VIA Technologies Inc. (VIA), MediaTek Inc., Ltd.(MTK), Anyka Inc.(Anyka), Infineon Inc.(Infineon) as our strategic partners which enables us to expand our product coverage. We believe we are one of the first independent mobile handset design houses in China to work with Skyworks, Inc (Skyworks), which has established a dedicated support team in Shanghai to support us in our design process.  
    
We have also established good relationships with subcontractors which provide production services for mobile phone components.

Quick Market Response

We pursue a market-oriented product development strategy, grasping end-users’ preferences and tastes. Our experience and expertise enables us to complete a design solution in only two to three months, to ensure our designs are one step ahead of our competitors and leading market trends.

Strong R&D capability

We have a professional and competent team to handle the wide spectrum of mobile phone design jobs, including industrial design, structural design, electronics design, software design and machine-man interface design. Some of our engineers used to be employed by mobile communication leaders such as Motorola, Siemens or BenQ. Our professional industrial design team won the IF Asia Design Award Winner in 2005.
 
Page 8 of 41

 
We are one of few design houses in China that are able to develop new mobile phones based on chip-level modules, which can enhance the flexibility of the product design in terms of handset size and functionalities.  

Customized Products and Market Knowledge

We design many of our products based on our customers’ specifications. We work closely with mobile device manufacturers and brand name owners to understand their needs and product roadmaps. We also interface with our customers regularly to understand the mobile handset market, consumer preferences and trends in the industry. This allows us to predict future trends and to assist our customers in the development of new products and functions and the setting of a price range.

Current Business Development

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, we launched 32 mobile handset solutions covering the high-end, mid-end and low-end markets. We kept working closely with strategic partners VIA, MTK, Anyka, Infineon , Skyworks and other technology partners. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, we developed mobile phone solutions with new functions including but not limited to smart touch screen, voice operation system, GPS and CMMB(China Mobile Multimedia Broadcasting). We can tailor-make solutions featuring functions such as handwriting recognition, digital cameras, Dual speakers, GPRS, FM radio, dictionaries, webcams, blue tooth, E-mail, MP3, MPEG4 3GP, WAP, USB, T-Flash, MMS, CMOS, TV-out, fingerprint authentication, firewall and sound recorder. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, we also extended design of TDS-CDMA solutions and WCDMA solutions.

The company has postponed development of some new solutions because of less favorable market condition. As a result of the worldwide financial crisis, the demand in the Mainland market, especially the Mid-end and High-end market, as well as the overseas market has been shrinking since the second half of fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

The company also postponed the development of certain other technologies including TPMS.

Following the resignation of Mr. Jie Shi on March 31 2009 and Mr. Albert Wai Chiu Leung on April 1, 2009, the Board appointed Mr. Xiaofeng Li and Mr. Xiangning Qin to serve as the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer respectively on April 1, 2009.
 
We moved part of our design team to Huizhou city in Guangdong. As most of our customers are located in Guangdong province, we set up an office in Huizhou and sent part of our design team there.

Products Geographic Coverage

In terms of revenue, over 90% of our mobile handsets designed by us were within the China and Hong Kong markets. The company did not sell products to consumers directly, but sell through the networks of our customers. According to sales information provided by our customers, products designed or manufactured by us were sold in major cities, secondary cities and small towns throughout China, covering all provinces of China.

Starting from 2006, we began to sell whole mobile handsets products through our sales agents. Our products are sold to nine different countries mainly in Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America.

Quality Assurance

We believe that a high standard quality management system is crucial for maintaining our reputation. Our quality assurance team monitors hardware, software and mechanical design teams’ performance to ensure strict adherence to the quality standards required by our customers. The team conducts product reliability tests, including accelerated life tests, climatic stress tests and mechanical endurance tests. The team is also responsible for components qualification, prototype quality assurance, and submission of prototypes for FTA (Full Type Approval) and CTA (China Testing Alliance) certifications. In addition, the team collects and organizes all relevant written documents produced and used throughout the design process.
 
Page 9 of 41

 
FTA certifies that a mobile handset submitted for testing has passed tests for its reliability and conformance with global standards.

CTA certifies that the use of telecommunication terminal equipment in the national telecommunications network has been approved and complies with the requirements for network access and the national standards established by the Ministry of Information Industry.

Through our quality assurance team, we adopt stringent quality procedures at the design stage, incoming quality assurance of components and parts, assembly testing and final quality testing. Our selection criteria for suppliers include reputation, time to supply, availability of components and parts, etc.

Sales and marketing

Our sales force consists of approximately 15 salespeople and support personnel. Most of them have many years of experience in the telecommunication industry. They are responsible for maintaining and establishing client relationships, trying to fulfill customers’ special needs, and introducing new technologies and applications in telecommunication field.

Intellectual Property

We believe protection of our intellectual property rights is extremely important for our continuous success. As of the March 31, 2009, we have registered 17 patents, of which 15 have been approved. All of them are patents for product appearance. Besides, we have registered six copyrights for software. All of them are games and applications for mobile phone.

Our Competitors

There are more than a hundred mobile phone design houses in China, including market leaders such as China TechFaith Wireless Communication Technology Limited, Shanghai Longcheer Telecommunication Co.,Ltd and SIMCom Information Technology Ltd. Other major design houses include Beijing Tianyu Communication Equipment Co.Ltd, Shanghai WenTai Communication Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai Huaqi Telecom Technology Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Jinwave Technology Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Yulong Communication Technology Co., Ltd. We believe Shanghai Longcheer and Shanghai Simcom are our most direct competitors.  

Certain of our competitors are substantially larger and have significantly greater financial, marketing, research and development, technological and operating resources and broader product lines than we do.

We think that competition in our markets is based primarily on technology innovation, product performance, reputation, delivery times, customer support and price. We believe we are among the few design houses which are capable of software design and hardware design as well as performing the whole spectrum of design activities and developing functions or applications at chipset-level modules.

Employees 

As of March 31, 2009, we had approximately 85 full-time employees employed in Greater China. From time to time we employ independent contractors to support our production, engineering, marketing, and sales departments. The company cut about 40 employees in fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, because of the decline in business.

Item 1A. 
Risk Factors.

Set forth below is a description of factors that may affect our business, results of operations and share price from time to time.

Our sales and profitability depend on the continued growth of the mobile communications industry as well as the growth of the new market segments within that industry in which we have recently invested. If the mobile communications industry does not grow as we expect, or if the new market segments on which we have chosen to focus and in which we have recently invested grow less than expected, or if new faster-growing market segments emerge in which we have not invested, our sales and profitability may be adversely affected.

Our business depends on continued growth in mobile communications in terms of the number of existing mobile subscribers who upgrade or simply replace their existing mobile devices, the number of new subscribers and increased usage. As well, our sales and profitability are affected by the extent to which there is increasing demand for, and development of, value-added services, leading to opportunities for us to successfully market mobile devices that feature these services. These developments in our industry are to a certain extent outside of our control. For example, we are dependent on operators in highly penetrated markets to successfully introduce services that cause a substantial increase in usage of voice and data. Further, in order to support a continued increase in mobile subscribers in certain low-penetration markets, we are dependent on operators to increase their sales volumes of lower-cost mobile devices and to offer affordable rate. If operators are not successful in their attempts to increase subscriber numbers, stimulate increased usage or drive replacement sales, our business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Our industry continues to undergo significant changes. First, the mobile communications, information technology, media and consumer electronics industries are converging in some areas into one broader industry leading to the creation of new type of mobile devices, services and ways to use mobile devices. Second, while participants in the mobile communications industry once provided complete products and solutions, industry players are increasingly providing specific hardware and software layers for products and solutions. As a result of these changes, new market segments within our industry have begun to emerge and we have made significant investments in new business opportunities in certain of these market segments, such as smartphones, imaging, games, music and enterprise mobility infrastructure. However, a number of the new market segments in the mobile communications industry are still in the early states of their development, and it may be difficult for us to accurately predict which new market segments are the most advantageous for us to focus on. As a result, if the segments on which we have chosen to focus grow less than expected, we may not receive a return on our investment as soon as we expect, or at all. We may also forego growth opportunities in new market segments of the mobile communications industry on which we do not focus.

Our results of operations, particularly our profitability, may be adversely affected if we do not successfully manage price erosion related to our products.

In the future, if, for competitive reasons, if we need to lower the selling prices of certain of our products and if we cannot lower our costs at the same rate or faster, this may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations, particularly our profitability. To mitigate the impact of product and service mix shifts on our profitability, we implement product segmentation with the aim of designing appropriate features with an appropriate cost basis for each customer segment. Likewise, we endeavor to mitigate the impact on our profitability of price erosion of certain features and functionalities by seeking to correctly time the introduction of new products, in order to align such introductions with declines in the prices of relevant components. We cannot predict with any certainty whether or to what extent we may need to lower prices for competitive reasons again and how successful we will be in aligning our cost basis to the pricing at any given point in time. Price erosion is a normal characteristic of the mobile devices industry, and the products and solutions offered by us are also subject to natural price erosion over time. If we cannot reduce our costs at the same rate, our business may be materially adversely affected.
 
Page 11 of 41

 
We must develop or otherwise acquire complex, evolving technologies to use in our business. If we fail to develop these technologies or to successfully commercialize them as new advanced products and solutions that meet customer demand, or fail to do so on a timely basis, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, our ability to meet our targets and our results of operations.

In order to succeed in our markets, we believe that we must develop or otherwise acquire complex, evolving technologies to use in our business. However, the development and use of new technologies, applications and technology platforms for our mobile devices involves time, substantial costs and risks both within and outside of our control. This is true whether we develop these technologies internally, by acquiring or investing in other companies or through collaboration with third parties.

The technologies, functionalities and features on which we choose to focus may not achieve as broad or timely customer acceptance as we expect. This may result from numerous factors including the availability of more attractive alternatives or a lack of sufficient compatibility with other existing technologies, products and solutions. Additionally, even if we do select the technologies, functionalities and features that customers ultimately want, we or the companies that work with us may not be able to bring them to the market at the right time.

Furthermore, as a result of ongoing technological developments, our products and solutions are increasingly used together with components or layers that have been developed by third parties, whether or not we have authorized their use with our products and solutions. However, such components, such as batteries, or layers, such as software applications, may not be compatible with our products and solutions and may not meet our and our customers' quality, safety or other standards. As well, certain components or layers that may be used with our products may enable our products and solutions to be used for objectionable purposes, such as to transfer content that might be hateful or derogatory. The use of our products and solutions with incompatible or otherwise substandard components or layers, or for purposes that are inappropriate, is largely outside of our control and could harm our reputation in the industry.

We need to understand the different markets in which we operate and meet the needs of our customers, which include mobile network operators, distributors, independent retailers and enterprise customers. We need to have a competitive product portfolio, and to work together with our operator customers to address their needs. Our failure to identify key market trends and to respond timely and successfully to the needs of our customers may have a material adverse impact on our market share, business and results of operations.

We serve a diverse range of customers, ranging from mobile network operators, distributors, independent retailers to enterprise customers, across a variety of markets. In many of these markets, the mobile communications industry is at different stages of development, and many of these markets have different characteristics and dynamics, for example, in terms of mobile penetration rates and technology, feature and pricing preferences. Establishing and maintaining good relationships with our customers and understanding trends and needs in their markets require us to constantly obtain and evaluate a complex array of feedback and other data. We must do this efficiently in order to be able to identify key market trends and address our customers' needs proactively and in a timely manner. If we fail to analyze correctly and respond timely and appropriately to customer feedback and other data, our business may be materially adversely affected.

Certain mobile network operators require mobile devices to be customized to their specifications, by requesting certain preferred features, functionalities or design, together with co-branding with the network operator's brand. We believe that customization is an important element in gaining increased operator customer satisfaction and we are working together with operators on product planning as well as accelerating product hardware and software customization programs. These developments may result in new challenges as we provide customized products, such as the need for us to produce mobile devices in smaller lot sizes, which can impede our economies of scale, or the potential for the erosion of the Sunplus brand, which we consider to be one of our key competitive advantages.
 
Page 12 of 41

 
In order to meet our customers' needs, we need to introduce new devices on a timely basis and maintain a competitive product portfolio. For us, a competitive product portfolio means a broad and balanced offering of commercially appealing mobile devices with attractive features, functionality and design for all major user segments and price points. If we do not achieve a competitive portfolio, we believe that we will be at a competitive disadvantage, which may lead to lower revenue and lower profits.
 
The competitiveness of our portfolio is also influenced by the value of the Sunplus brand. A number of factors, including actual or even alleged defects in our products and solutions, may have a negative effect on our reputation and erode the value of the Sunplus brand.

Competition in our industry is intense. Our failure to respond successfully to changes in the competitive landscape may have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

The markets for our products and solutions are intensely competitive. Industry participants compete with each other mainly on the basis of the breadth and depth of their product portfolios, price, operational and manufacturing efficiency, technical performance, product features, quality, customer support and brand recognition. We are facing increased competition from both our traditional competitors in the mobile communications industry as well as a number of new competitors, particularly from countries where production costs tend to be lower. Some of these competitors have used, and we expect will continue to use, more aggressive pricing strategies, different design approaches and alternative technologies than ours. In addition, some competitors have chosen a strategy of focusing on productization based on commercially available technologies and components, which may enable them to introduce products faster and with lower levels of research and development spending than our company.
 
As a result of developments in our industry, we also expect to face new competition from companies in related industries, such as consumer electronics manufacturers and business device and solution providers, including but not limited to Dell, HP, Microsoft, Nintendo, Palm, Research in Motion and Sony. Additionally, because mobile network operators are increasingly offering mobile devices under their own brand, we face increasing competition from non-branded mobile device manufacturers. If we cannot respond successfully to these competitive developments, our business and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Reaching our sales, profitability, volume and market share targets depends on numerous factors. These include our ability to offer products and solutions that meet the demands of the market and to manage the prices and costs of our products and solutions, our operational efficiency, the pace of development and acceptance of new technologies, our success in the business areas that we have recently entered, and general economic conditions. Depending on those factors, some of which we may influence and others of which are beyond our control, we may fail to reach our targets and we may fail to provide accurate forecasts of our sales and results of operations.

A variety of factors discussed throughout these Risk Factors could affect our ability to reach our targets and give accurate forecasts. Although, we can influence some of these factors, some of them depend on external factors that are beyond our control.  In our mobile device businesses, we seek to maintain healthy levels of sales and profitability through offering a competitive portfolio of mobile devices, growing faster than the market, working to improve our operational efficiency, controlling our costs, and targeting timely and successful product introductions and shipments. The quarterly and annual sales and operating results in our mobile device businesses also depend on a number of other factors that are not within our control. Such factors include the global growth in mobile device volumes, which is influenced by, among other factors, regional economic factors, competitive pressures, regulatory environment, the timing and success of product and service introductions by various market participants, including network operators, the commercial acceptance of new mobile devices, technologies and services, and operators' and distributors' financial situations. Our sales and operating results are also impacted by fluctuations in exchange rates and at the quarterly level by seasonality. In developing markets, the availability and cost, through affordable tariffs, of mobile phone service compared with the availability and cost of fixed line networks may also impact volume growth.
 
Page 13 of 41

 
In our mobile networks business, we also seek to maintain healthy levels of sales and profitability and try to grow faster than the market. Our networks business's quarterly and annual net sales and operating results can be affected by a number of factors, some of which we can influence, such as our operational efficiency, the level of our research and development investments and the deployment progress and technical success we achieve under network contracts. Other relevant factors include operator investment behavior, which can vary significantly from quarter to quarter, competitive pressures and general economic conditions although these are not within our control.

The new business areas that we have entered may be less profitable than we currently foresee, or they may generate more variable operating results than we currently foresee. We expect to incur short-term operating losses in certain of these new business areas given our early stage investments in research and development and marketing in particular. Also our efforts in managing prices and costs in the long-term, especially balancing prices and sales volumes with research and development costs, may prove to be inadequate.

Although we may announce forecasts of our results of operations, uncertainties affecting any of these factors, particularly during difficult economic conditions, render our forecasts difficult to make, and may cause us not to reach the targets that we have forecasted, or to revise our estimates.

Our sales and results of operations could be adversely affected if we fail to efficiently manage our manufacturing and logistics without interruption, or fail to ensure that our products and solutions meet our and our customers' quality, safety and other requirements and are delivered in time.

Our manufacturing and logistics are complex, require advanced and costly equipment and include outsourcing to third parties. These operations are continuously modified in an effort to improve manufacturing efficiency and flexibility. We may experience difficulties in adapting our supply to the demand for our products, ramping up or down production at our facilities, adopting new manufacturing processes, finding the timeliest way to develop the best technical solutions for new products, or achieving manufacturing efficiency and flexibility, whether we manufacture our products and solutions ourselves or outsource to third parties. Such difficulties may have a material adverse effect on our sales and results of operations and may result from, among other things: delays in adjusting or upgrading production at our facilities, delays in expanding production capacity, failure in our manufacturing and logistics processes, failures in the activities we have outsourced, and interruptions in the data communication systems that run our operations. Also, a failure or an interruption could occur at any stage of our product creation, manufacturing and delivery processes, resulting in our products and solutions not meeting our and our customers' quality, safety and other requirements, or being delivered late, which could have a material adverse effect on our sales, our results of operations and reputation and the value of the Sunplus brand.

We depend on our suppliers for the timely delivery of components and for their compliance with our supplier requirements, such as, most notably, our and our customers' product quality, safety and other standards. Their failure to do so could adversely affect our ability to deliver our products and solutions successfully and on time.

Our manufacturing operations depend to a certain extent on obtaining adequate supplies of fully functional components on a timely basis. Our principal supply requirements are for electronic components, mechanical components and software, which all have a wide range of applications in our products. Electronic components include integrated circuits, microprocessors, standard components, memory devices, cameras, displays, batteries and chargers while mechanical components include covers, connectors, key mats and antennas. In addition, a particular component may be available only from a limited number of suppliers. Suppliers may from time to time extend lead times, limit supplies or increase prices due to capacity constraints or other factors, which could adversely affect our ability to deliver our products and solutions on a timely basis. Moreover, even if we attempt to select our suppliers and manage our supplier relationships with scrutiny, a component supplier may fail to meet our supplier requirements, such as, most notably, our and our customers' product quality, safety and other standards, and consequently some of our products are unacceptable to us and our customers, or we may fail in our own quality controls. Moreover, a component supplier may experience delays or disruption to its manufacturing, or financial difficulties. Any of these events could delay our successful delivery of products and solutions, which meet our and our customers' quality, safety and other requirements, or otherwise adversely affect our sales and our results of operations. Also, our reputation and brand value may be affected due to real or merely alleged failures in our products and solutions.
 
Page 14 of 41

 
We are developing a number of our new products and solutions together with other companies. If any of these companies were to fail to perform, we may not be able to bring our products and solutions to market successfully or in a timely way and this could have a material adverse impact on our sales and profitability.

We continue to invite the providers of technology, components or software to work with us to develop technologies or new products and solutions. These arrangements involve the commitment by each company of various resources, including technology, research and development efforts, and personnel. Although the target of these arrangements is a mutually beneficial outcome for each party, our ability to introduce new products and solutions that meet our and our customers' quality, safety and other standards successfully and on schedule could be hampered if, for example, any of the following risks were to materialize: the arrangements with the companies that work with us do not develop as expected, the technologies provided by the companies that work with us are not sufficiently protected or infringe third parties' intellectual property rights in a way that we cannot foresee or prevent, the technologies, products or solutions supplied by the companies that work with us do not meet the required quality, safety and other standards or customer needs, our own quality controls fail, or the financial standing of the companies that work with us deteriorates.

Our operations rely on complex and highly centralized information technology systems and networks. If any system or network disruption occurs, this reliance could have a material adverse impact on our operations, sales and operating results.

Our operations rely to a significant degree on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of complex and highly centralized information technology systems and networks, which are integrated with those of third parties. Any failure or disruption of our current or future systems or networks could have a material adverse effect on our operations, sales and operating results. Furthermore, any data leakages resulting from information technology security breaches could also adversely affect us.

All information technology systems are potentially vulnerable to damage or interruption from a variety of sources. We pursue various measures in order to manage our risks related to system and network disruptions, including the use of multiple suppliers and available information technology security. However, despite precautions taken by us, an outage in a telecommunications network utilized by any of our information technology systems, virus or other event that leads to an unanticipated interruption of our information technology systems or networks could have a material adverse effect on our operations, sales and operating results.

Our products and solutions include increasingly complex technology involving numerous new proprietary technologies, as well as some developed or licensed to us by certain third parties. As a consequence, evaluating the protection of the technologies we intend to use is more and more challenging, and we expect increasingly to face claims that we have infringed third parties' intellectual property rights. The use of increasingly complex technology may also result in increased licensing costs for us, restrictions on our ability to use certain technologies in our products and solution offerings, and/or costly and time-consuming litigation. Third parties may also commence actions seeking to establish the invalidity of intellectual property rights on which we depend.

Our products and solutions include increasingly complex technology involving numerous new proprietary technologies, as well as some developed or licensed to us by certain third parties. As the amount of such proprietary technologies needed for our products and solutions continues to increase, the number of parties claiming rights continues to increase and become more fragmented within individual products, and as the complexity of the technology and the overlap of product functionalities increases, the possibility of more infringement and related intellectual property claims against us also continues to increase. The holders of patents potentially relevant to our product and solution offerings may be unknown to us, or may otherwise make it difficult for us to acquire a license on commercially acceptable terms. There may also be technologies licensed to and relied on by us that are subject to claims of infringement or other corresponding allegations by others which could damage our ability to rely on such technologies.

In addition, although we endeavor to ensure that companies that work with us possess appropriate intellectual property rights or licenses, we cannot fully avoid risks of intellectual property rights infringement created by suppliers of components and various layers in our products and solutions or by companies with which we work in cooperative research and development activities. Similarly, we and our customers may face claims of infringement in connection with our customers' use of our products and solutions. Finally, as all technology standards, including those used and relied on by us, include some intellectual property rights, we cannot fully avoid risks of a claim for infringement of such rights due to our reliance on such standards. We believe that the number of third parties declaring their intellectual property to be relevant to these standards is increasing, which may increase the likelihood that we will be subject to such claims in the future.

Any restrictions on our ability to sell our products and solutions due to expected or alleged infringements of third party intellectual property rights and any intellectual property rights claims, regardless of merit, could result in material losses of profits, costly litigation, the payment of damages and other compensation, the diversion of the attention of our personnel, product shipment delays or the need for us to develop non-infringing technology or to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. If we were unable to develop non-infringing technology, or if royalty or licensing agreements were not available on commercially acceptable terms, we could be precluded from making and selling the affected products and solutions. As new features are added to our products and solutions, we may need to acquire further licenses, including from new and sometimes unidentified owners of intellectual property. The cumulative costs of obtaining any necessary licenses are difficult to predict and may over time have a negative effect on our operating results.

In addition, other companies may commence actions seeking to establish the invalidity of our intellectual property, for example, patent rights. In the event that one or more of our patents are challenged, a court may invalidate the patent or determine that the patent is not enforceable, which could harm our competitive position. If any of our key patents are invalidated, or if the scope of the claims in any of these patents is limited by a court decision, we could be prevented from licensing the invalidated or limited portion of our intellectual property rights. Even if such a patent challenge is not successful, it could be expensive and time consuming, divert management attention from our business and harm our reputation. Any diminution of the protection that our own intellectual property rights enjoy could cause us to lose some of the benefits of our investments in R&D, which may have a negative effect on our results of operations.

If we are unable to recruit, retain and develop appropriately skilled employees, we may not be able to implement our strategies and, consequently, our results of operations may suffer.

We must continue to recruit, retain and through constant competence training develop appropriately skilled employees with a comprehensive understanding of our businesses and technologies. As competition for skilled personnel remains keen, we seek to create a corporate culture that encourages creativity and continuous learning. We are also continuously developing our compensation and benefit policies and taking other measures to attract and motivate skilled personnel. Nevertheless, we have encountered in the past, and may encounter in the future, shortages of appropriately skilled personnel, which may hamper our ability to implement our strategies and harm our results of operations.

The global networks business relies on a limited number of customers and large multi-year contracts. Unfavorable developments under such a contract or in relation to a major customer may affect our sales, our results of operations and cash flow adversely.

Large multi-year contracts, which are typical in the networks industry, include a risk that the timing of sales and results of operations associated with these contracts will be different than expected. Moreover, they usually require the dedication of substantial amounts of working capital and other resources, which impacts our cash flow negatively. Any non-performance by us under these contracts may have significant adverse consequences for us because network operators have demanded and may continue to demand stringent contract undertakings such as penalties for contract violations.

Our sales derived from, and assets located in, emerging market countries may be adversely affected by economic, regulatory and political developments in those countries. As sales from these countries represent an increasing portion of our total sales, economic or political turmoil in these countries could adversely affect our sales and results of operations. Our investments in emerging market countries may also be subject to other risks and uncertainties.

We generate sales from and have invested in various emerging market countries. As sales from these countries represent an increasing portion of our total sales, economic or political turmoil in these countries could adversely affect our sales and results of operations. Our investments in emerging market countries may also be subject to risks and uncertainties, including unfavorable taxation treatment, exchange controls, challenges in protecting our intellectual property rights, nationalization, inflation, incidents of terrorist activity, currency fluctuations, or the absence of, or unexpected changes in, regulation as well as other unforeseeable operational risks.

Allegations of health risks from the electromagnetic fields generated by base stations and mobile devices, and the lawsuits and publicity relating to them, regardless of merit, could affect our operations negatively by leading consumers to reduce their use of mobile devices or by causing us to allocate monetary and personnel resources to these issues.

There has been public speculation about possible health risks to individuals from exposure to electromagnetic fields from base stations and from the use of mobile devices. While a substantial amount of scientific research conducted to date by various independent research bodies has indicated that these radio signals, at levels within the limits prescribed by public health authority safety standards and recommendations, present no discernable adverse effect on human health, we cannot be certain that future studies, irrespective of their scientific basis, will not suggest a link between electromagnetic fields and adverse health effects that would adversely affect our sales and share price. Research into these issues is ongoing by government agencies, international health organizations and other scientific bodies in order to develop a better scientific and public understanding of these issues.
 
Although Sunplus products and solutions are designed to meet all relevant safety standards and recommendations globally, no more than a perceived risk of adverse health effects of mobile communications devices could adversely affect us through a reduction in sales of mobile devices or increased difficulty in obtaining sites for base stations, and could have a negative effect on our reputation and brand value as well as harm our share price.

Changes in various types of regulation in countries around the world could affect our business adversely.

Our business is subject to direct and indirect regulation in each of the countries in which we, and the companies with which we work or our customers do business. As a result, changes in various types of regulations applicable to current or new technologies, products or services could affect our business adversely. For example, it is in our interest that the Federal Communications Commission maintains a regulatory environment that ensures the continued growth of the wireless sector in the United States. In addition, changes in regulation affecting the construction of base stations and other network infrastructure could adversely affect the timing and costs of new network construction or expansion and the commercial launch and ultimate commercial success of these networks.
 
Moreover, the implementation of new technological or legal requirements, such as the requirement in the United States that all handsets must be able to indicate their physical location, could impact our products and solutions, manufacturing or distribution processes, and could affect the timing of product and solution introductions, the cost of our production, products or solutions as well as their commercial success. Finally, export control, tariff, environmental, safety and other regulation that adversely affects the pricing or costs of our products and solutions as well as new services related to our products could affect our net sales and results of operations. The impact of these changes in regulation could affect our business adversely even though the specific regulations do not always directly apply to us or our products and solutions.

Our stock price has been historically volatile and may continue to be volatile, which may make it more difficult for you to resell shares when you want at prices you find attractive.

The trading price of our ordinary shares has been and may continue to be subject to considerable daily fluctuations. During the twelve months ended March 31, 2009, the closing sale prices of our ordinary shares on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ranged from $0.20 to $2.70 per share and the closing sale price on June 24, 2009 was $0.60 per share. Our stock price may fluctuate in response to a number of events and factors, such as quarterly variations in operating results, announcements of technological innovations or new products and media properties by us or our competitors, changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts, the operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors may deem comparable, new governmental restrictions or regulations and news reports relating to trends in our markets. In addition, the stock market in general, and the market prices for China-related and Internet-related companies in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that often has been

Our net revenue was $34,838,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $10,843,000, or 23.7%, from $45,681,000 in the previous fiscal year.  Revenue from sales of mobile phone components was $23,614,000 compared to $22,746,000 in the last fiscal year, representing a 3.8% increase. Revenue from design services decreased to $11,224,000 from $22,935,000 in the last fiscal year, representing a 51.1% decrease.

Our net revenue decrease mainly resulted from the decrease relating to design services. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, customers did not place as many orders for design services. As a result, the percentage of our revenue from sales of mobile phone components increased as compared with the prior year.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, revenue from design services represented 32.2% of total revenue, while revenue from sales of mobile phone components was 67.8%, compared to 50.2% from design services and 49.8% from sales of mobile phone components in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

Detailed information on sale of mobile phone components

Sale of mobile phone components increased from $22,746,000 in fiscal 2008 to $23,614,000 in fiscal 2009, representing a 3.8% increase. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase in the sales of PCB and PCBA boards, the key components in the manufacture of mobile handsets.

We design and manufacture PCB and PCBA boards according to our customers’ specifications. Besides the amount of revenue from selling PCB and PCBA boards to our customers, we charge royalty fees by the number of PCB and PCBA boards we provide. We manufactured more PCB and PCBA boards for our customers for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 when compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. The increase in sales volume of PCB and PCBA boards led to the increase in sales of components, despite the decrease in average selling price of our product in the current year as a result of the worldwide financial crisis, the demand in the Mainland market, especially the Mid-end and High-end market, as well as the overseas market has been shrinking since the second half of fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

We have been selling our products in overseas markets through our sales agents in Mainland China and Hong Kong since March 2006. Our products were sold to end-users in nine different countries, mainly in Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America.

Detailed information on revenue from design services

Revenue from design services decreased from $22,935,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 to $11,224,000, or 51.1%. The significant decrease mainly resulted from the reduction of royalty fees per unit in the weak domestic market in China. As a result of the global financial crisis, demand in the Mainland China market, as well as the overseas market, has been shrinking since the second half of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, we launched 32 mobile handset solutions covering the high-end, mid-end and low-end markets. We kept working closely with strategic partners VIA, MTK, Anyka, Infineon, Skyworks and other technology partners. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, we developed mobile phone solutions with new functions including but not limited to smart touch screen, voice operation system, GPS and CMMB(China Mobile Multimedia Broadcasting). We can tailor-make solutions featuring functions such as handwriting recognition, digital cameras, dual speakers, GPRS, FM radio, dictionaries, webcams, blue tooth, E-mail, MP3, MPEG4 3GP, WAP, USB, T-Flash, MMS, CMOS, TV-out, fingerprint authentication, firewall, sound recorder and. In the fiscal year 2009, we also extended the design of TDS-CDMA solutions and WCDMA solutions.
 
Cost of Revenue

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, cost of revenue increased to $24,440,000 from $23,539,000 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, representing a 3.8% increase.  Cost of revenue primarily consisted of the purchase cost of raw and processed materials and indirect costs of salaries of engineers and designers, research and development (“R&D”) and quality control expenses.

The increase in cost of revenue was mainly attributable to an increase in the purchase of raw materials. As we manufactured more PCB and PCBA boards for our customers, we purchased more raw materials in the current fiscal year than in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. Key materials for manufacture such as chipsets and PCB blank boards accounted for a large proportion of cost of raw materials. The cost of raw material was up by $901,000, or 3.8%, from $20,464,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 to $22,952,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

During the two years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, research and development costs amounting to $17,000 and $420,000, respectively, were charged to cost of revenue. The decrease was mainly the result of stringent cost control.

Business tax decreased $616,000 from $1,149,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 to $533,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in revenue from design services which is subject to business tax.

Gross profit

Our gross profit was $10,398,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $22,142,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, representing a 53.0% 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 consist of selling expenses, general and administrative (G&A) expenses and other operating expenses. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, operating expenses were $15,363,000, as compared to $3,544,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, representing a 333.5 % increase.

Operating expenses during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 were $15,363,000, or 44.1% of revenue, compared to $3,544,000, or 7.8% of revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. The significant increase was mainly attributed to the increase in G&A and other operating expenses.

Selling expenses decreased from $280,000 to $245,000. The decrease was mainly attributable to less marketing-related expenses in keeping with a shrinking business.

G&A expenses were $10,043,000, or 28.8% of revenue, compared to $3,264,000, or 7.1% of revenue in the last fiscal year. The increase in G&A expenses was mainly due to the increase in the charges relating to the allowance for doubtful receivables.

We increased allowance for doubtful receivables by $6,915,000 for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2009. The allowance for doubtful receivables was $8,040,000 as of March 31, 2009 compared to $1,125,000 as of March 31, 2008.  As a comparison, we increased allowance for doubtful receivables by $700,000 for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2008. The allowance for doubtful receivables was $1,125,000 as of March 31, 2008 compared to $425,000 as of March 31, 2007.  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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, particular consideration was given to the increased credit risk due to the current economic downturn.

Other operating expenses represented compensation of $5,075,000 to two customers to compensate them for subcontracting fees and raw materials consumed for two defectively designed mobile phone PCBAs.

Loss/ Income from Operations

Loss from operation was $4,965,000 in fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, compared to income of $18,598,000 in year 2008. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease of revenue in design service and increase of allowance for doubtful receivables.

Loss from Discontinued Operations

The Company reported losses of $2,822,000 and $379,000 from discontinued operations for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Loss from discontinued operations for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 consisted of other revenue of $2,000 and $nil, operating loss of US$90,000 and $379,000, loss on disposal of a subsidiary of US$2,730,000 and $nil, and impairment loss on assets of discontinued operations of US$4,000 and $nil, respectively. We recorded losses on discontinued operations as Sunplus disposed of its 80% interest in its subsidiary Fujian QiaoXing for $12,230,000 (RMB84,000,000), which was $2,730,000 less than the carrying values of Fujian QiaoXing’s net assets.

Interest Expense

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, we did not borrow any funds and did not incur any interest expense. We incurred interest expense of $3,000 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 for discounted bills.

Income Tax

Sunplus is subject to PRC Income Tax.  Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Laws, the prevailing statutory rate of enterprise income tax in Shanghai is 25% as of January 1, 2008.  It was 27% prior to January 1, 2008.

Pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC, Sunplus was entitled to an exemption from PRC income tax for two years starting from its first profitable year.  As Sunplus’ statutory year-end is December 31, the exemption applied from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2004.  Sunplus was also entitled to three years of 50% exemption after the expiration of the two years of full exemption.  The 50% exemption applied from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2007.  Therefore, Sunplus was subject to a 13.5% income tax through December 31, 2007 and 25% thereafter.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, Sunplus made an income tax provision of $1,900,000 in total, compared to $3,188,000 in the last fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in taxable profits.

Fujian QiaoXing and JiaXun were inactive and were not subject to any income tax in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Minority Interests

Minority interests represent the portion of net results of Sunplus, Fujian QiaoXing and JiaXun that we do not own.  In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, minority interests were attributable to the minority interests owned by Shanghai Fanna, which owns directly 5% of Sunplus, and indirectly 5% of Fujian QiaoXing and Jia Xun.

Net loss/income

As a result of the above items, net loss was $8,713,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, as compared to net income of $14,554,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. This adverse change was mainly the result of the significant decrease of income from design services, increase in operating expenses and loss from discontinued operations.

Earnings/loss per share

We reported loss per share of $0.29, based on 30,088,174 outstanding weighted shares for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Our outstanding common stock was 30,088,174 shares as of March 31, 2009. We do not have any preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Cash and cash equivalents were $20,493,000 as of March 31, 2009. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was mainly attributed to the decrease in operating cash flows arising from the reduction in revenue and gross profit.

Accounts receivable, net

As of March 31, 2009, accounts receivable amounted to $14,361,000, a decrease of $3,357,000 compared to $17,718,000 as of March 31, 2008. The decrease was mainly the net result of an increase in the gross amount of accounts receivable and an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. The gross amount of the accounts receivable increased by $3,415,000 mainly, because trade debtors took longer to pay in an economic environment which was deteriorating. The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable increased by an amount of $6,772,000 for the year ended March 31, 2009. The Company revaluated credit risk on trade debtors and adjusted its allowance policy to make a 100% provision for accounts receivable overdue more than one year. The Company believes this reflects the increased credit risk due to the current economic downturn. If circumstances related to customers change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted.

Our total liabilities as of March 31, 2009 were $7,670,000, which consisted of $3,415,000 in current liabilities and $4,255,000 in long-term liabilities.

Long-term liabilities amounted to $4,255,000 as of March 31, 2009, all of which were liabilities due to shareholders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, we principally engaged in provision of design solutions of wireless communication devices and sales of mobile phone components. We did not declare or pay dividends in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $23,330,000 to $20,493,000 as of March 31, 2009.

We used $3,987,000 in operating activities for fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $17,988,000 provided by operating activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. The net cash outflow was mainly caused by the net loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 adjusted for non-cash items, as well as the increase in accounts receivable and the decrease in receipts in advance. Our average trade debt collection period is approximately eight months.

Net cash provided by investing activities amounted to $363,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 as compared with net cash provided by investing activities of $4,105,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. Net cash provided by investing activities in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 related mainly to the initial deposits received for the disposal of Fujian Qiaoxing of $364,000. Net cash provided by investing activities in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 related mainly to proceeds from the disposal of property, plant and equipment of $4,864,000. No property, plant and equipment was disposed of by us in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased from $896,000 to $78,000. It mainly represented advance from shareholders.
 
 
Page 27 of 41

 

As of March 31, 2009, we had capital commitments of $27,000 in relation to acquisition of intangible assets.

We expect to be able to meet our liquidity needs for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010.  We expect net revenue to be at about the same level as for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.  However, it may take trade debtors longer to settle the accounts receivable owing to a possible worsening of the economic situation.  We currently do not have any plans to incur significant capital expenditures.  We believe our cash holdings as of March 31, 2009 of $20,493,000 together with the remaining balance of consideration for the disposal of our subsidiaries to be received of $11,866,000 is sufficient to support our operations and to meet our working capital needs.

Critical Accounting Policies

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., which require us to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements and related footnotes. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving consideration to materiality. We do not believe there is a great likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported related to the accounting policies described below. However, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenues are mainly derived from design fees of mobile handset design services and sales of mobile phone components. We earn our revenue mainly through NRE fees, royalties, and sales of products.

NRE fee. NRE fees stands for Non Refundable Engineering fees, a fixed one-off fee after an agreement has been signed by both customers and the Company. The NRE fees are no less than the total expenses of project design which normally includes the cost of market study, product concept identification, hardware designs, software designs, engineer expenses, mechanical engineering designs, testing and quality assurance, pilot production and production support. The NRE fees are recognized when payments are received.
    
Royalty. In addition to NRE fees, we also charge royalties to our customers. Royalty is calculated at an agreed rate for each unit manufactured or sold by our customers. The rate is variable based on volume of mobile handsets manufactured or sold. Royalty income is recognized when confirmation of manufacturing or selling volume is obtained from customers.

Component and product sales. Revenue from sales of components including but not limited to PCBAs, PCBs, whole handsets designed by us and manufactured by OEMs, and wireless modules are recognized when products are delivered to our customers.

Allowance for doubtful receivables
Our determination of the allowance for doubtful receivables is based on a general reserve established for all customers based on a range of percentages applied to aging categories.  These percentages are based on historical collection and write-off experience.

Item 7A.         Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The majority of our revenues derived and expenses and liabilities incurred are in Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) with a relatively small amount in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”) and the United States dollars (“$”). 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
T-Bay Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of T-Bay Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2009.  These consolidated 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 audits.

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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  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 the Company as of March 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the two years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

T-BAY HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009 and 2008

1. The Company and Subsidiaries

T-Bay Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or T-Bay) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on August 8, 1984 as “Sharus Corporation” with authorized common stock of 50,000,000 shares with a par value of US$0.001.  On June 13, 1989, the domicile of the Company was changed to the state of Nevada in connection with a name change to “Golden Quest, Inc.”.  On January 7, 2002, the name was changed to “T-Bay Holdings, Inc.” as part of a reverse stock split of 400 shares of outstanding stock for one share and on November 23, 2004, the Company increased the authorized common stock to 100,000,000 shares with a par value of US$0.001 as part of a reverse stock split of 20 outstanding shares for one share.

On August 16, 2005, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, T-Bay issued 18,550,000 shares of its common stock for all of Amber Link International Limited’s (“Amber Link”) and Wise Target International Limited’s (“Wise Target”) outstanding shares of common stock (the “Merger”).  Amber Link and Wise Target were two of the owners of Shanghai Sunplus Communication Co., Ltd. (“Sunplus”).  Wise Target owned a 75% interest and Amber Link owned a 20% interest in Sunplus.  After the Merger, T-Bay indirectly owned a 95% interest in Sunplus. In March 2009, Wise Target transferred all its holdings (75%) in Sunplus to Amber Link for US$2,885,000 (HK$22,500,000). As a result of this transaction, Amber Link directly owned 95% of Sunplus and this transaction had no impact on the Company’s effective holdings of Sunplus.  Shanghai Fanna Industrial Design Co., Ltd. owned the remaining 5% interest in Sunplus.

Wise Target was incorporated on April 24, 2002 under the International Business Companies Act in the British Virgin Islands.

Amber Link was incorporated on May 10, 2002 under the International Business Companies Act in the British Virgin Islands.  During the year ended March 31, 2007, Amber Link commenced the sales of mobile phones and components.

Sunplus was established on October 17, 2002 under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) as a Sino-foreign joint venture specialized in the development, production and sales of electronic telecommunication devices.  Sunplus commenced operations on May 1, 2003.  At March 31, 2009, Sunplus has approximately 85 staff, mostly engineers and software programmers.

On February 12, 2007, Sunplus established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Zhangzhou JiaXun Communication Facility Co., Ltd. (“Zhangzhou JiaXun”) under the laws of the PRC.  Zhangzhou JiaXun is an investment holding company.

On March 19, 2007, Sunplus and Zhangzhou JiaXun acquired 80% and 20%, respectively, of Fujian Qiaoxing Industry Co., Ltd. (“Fujian Qiaoxing”).

 
F-8

 

Pursuant to an agreement signed on December 31, 2008, Sunplus agreed to dispose of its entire interest in Zhangzhou JiaXun (100%) to Huizhou Liyin Electronics Co., Ltd. (“Huizhou Liyin”), a third party, for US$724,000 (RMB5,000,000). 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 Telecommunication Industry Company Limited (“Qiaoxing Telecom”), a third party, to dispose of all its interest in Zhangzhou JiaXun at a consideration of US$724,000 (RMB5,000,000). The ownership and legal title were transferred on April 9, 2009.  The disposal criteria were met before March 31, 2009.  As a result, assets of Zhangzhou JiaXun were classified and grouped in assets of discontinued operations. (See Note 13)

On December 31, 2008, Sunplus entered into an agreement with Huizhou Liyin to dispose of its 80% interest in Fujian Qiaoxing for a consideration of US$12,230,000 (RMB84,000,000). 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 Fujian Qiaoxing at a consideration of US$12,230,000 (RMB84,000,000) and the transaction was completed on March 20, 2009. (See Note 13)
 
As of March 31, 2009, the Group structure is as follows:-

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Preparation and Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 included the financial statements of T-Bay and its subsidiaries (hereinafter, referred to collectively as the “Group”) and are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

As mentioned in Note 1, on March 20, 2009, the Group disposed of its 80% interest in Fujian Qiaoxing, for net proceeds of US$12,230,000 and disposed of its entire interest in Zhangzhou Jiaxun, on April 9, 2009 for net proceeds of US$724,000. Criteria for disposal of Zhangzhou JiaXun were met before March 31, 2009, but legal ownership and legal title had not been transferred. As a result, the financial position of Zhangzhou Jiaxun and results of operations of Fujian Qiaoxing and Zhangzhou Jiaxun have been presented as discontinued operation for all periods shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (see Note 13).

(b) Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications were made to conform prior year’s financial statements to the current presentation.

(c) Goodwill

Goodwill arising on consolidation represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is recognized as an asset and carried at cost less impairment.  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis.  Recognized impairment losses of goodwill cannot be reversed.

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is presented separately in the balance sheet.

(d) Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, 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 periods. Significant estimates include useful lives of depreciable and amortizable assets and allowance for doubtful receivables.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Group considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Group did not have any cash equivalents.

 
F-10

 

(f) Allowance for Doubtful Receivables

The Group recognizes an allowance for doubtful receivables to ensure accounts and other receivable are not overstated due to uncollectibility.  Allowance for doubtful receivables is maintained for all customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience.  An additional allowance for individual accounts is recorded when the Group becomes aware of a customer’s or other debtor’s inability to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s or other debtor’s operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to customers or debtors change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted (See Note 3).

(g) Inventories

Inventories comprise raw materials, work in progress and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Market value represents replacement cost for raw materials and net realizable value for finished goods and work in progress.  Substantially all inventory costs are determined using the weighted average basis. Costs of finished goods include direct materials, subcontracting charges and other overhead before the goods are ready for sale.  Inventory costs do not exceed net realizable value.

(h) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided principally by use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.  Expenditure for maintenance and repairs, which does not improve or extend the expected useful life of the assets, is expensed to operations while major repairs are capitalized.

Management estimates that property, plant and equipment have a 10% residual value.  The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Buildings
20 years
Machinery
5 years
Office equipment
5 years
Motor vehicles
5 years

The gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets, and, if any, is recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive income.

(i) Construction in Progress

Construction in progress represents factory buildings under construction and machinery under installation and is stated at cost and not depreciated.  Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for use.

(j) Land-use Rights

Land-use rights are stated at cost, less amortization. Amortization of land-use rights is calculated on the straight-line method, based on the period over which the right is granted by the relevant authorities in Fujian Province, PRC.

 
F-11

 

(k) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of software and patents and are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of 5 years.

(l) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the Group evaluates its long-lived assets to determine whether later events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives or a reduction in carrying value due to impairment. If indicators of impairment exist and if the value of the assets is impaired, an impairment loss would be recognized.  For the years ended March 31, 2009, an impairment loss of US$4,000 has been recognized (2008: nil) (See Note 13).

(m) Income Taxes

The Group accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  Under SFAS No. 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 SFAS No. 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.

The Group reviews the differences between the tax bases under PRC tax laws and financial reporting under US GAAP.  As of March 31, 2009 and 2008, no material differences were found; therefore, there were no material deferred tax assets or liabilities arising from the operations of the subsidiaries in the PRC.

Under current PRC tax laws, no tax is imposed in respect to distributions paid to owners except individual income tax.

(n) Revenue Recognition

Revenue from goods sold is recognized when title has passed to the purchaser, which generally is at the time of delivery.  Revenue from design services is recognized when earned on the basis of the terms specified in the underlying contractual agreements.

(o) Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs consist of expenditure incurred during the course of planned research and investigation aimed at discovery of new knowledge which will be useful for developing new products or significantly enhancing existing products, and the implementation of such through design and testing of product alternatives.  All expenses incurred in connection with the Group’s research and development activities are charged to current income.  During the two years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, research and development costs amounting to US$17,000 and US$420,000, respectively, were charged to operations and are included in cost of revenue.
 
 
F-12

 

(p) Foreign Currency Transactions

The functional currencies of the Group are U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars and Renminbi, and its reporting currency is U.S. dollars. The Group’s balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates and all revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during the periods in which these items arise.  Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity.  Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated statement of operations as incurred.

The PRC government imposes significant exchange restrictions on fund transfers out of the PRC that are not related to business operations. These restrictions have not had a material impact on the Group because it has not engaged in any significant transactions that are subject to the restrictions.

(q) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments”, requires disclosing fair value to the extent practicable for financial instruments that are recognized or unrecognized in the balance sheet.  The fair value of the financial instruments disclosed herein is not necessarily representative of the amount that could be realized or settled, nor does the fair value amount consider the tax consequences of realization or settlement.

For certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts, notes and other receivables, accounts payable, accruals and other payables, it was assumed that the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the near term maturities of such obligations.

(r) Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the earnings for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year.  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 year, if dilutive.  There are no common stock equivalents in 2009 and 2008.

(s) Profit Appropriation

In accordance with PRC regulations, the PRC subsidiaries are required to make appropriations to the statutory surplus reserve, based on after-tax net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP. Appropriation to the statutory surplus reserve should be at least 10% of the after-tax net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP until the reserve is equal to 50% of the entity’s registered capital. Appropriations to the statutory public welfare fund and discretionary surplus reserve fund are made on the same basis as statutory surplus fund, normally at 5%-10% or higher rates and are generally optional at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  Statutory surplus reserve is non-distributable other than in liquidation.

7. Income Taxes

Amber Link and Wise Target are not subject to income taxes in any tax jurisdiction.

No provision for current income tax for T-Bay has been made as it incurred a loss for each of the two years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Sunplus is subject to PRC Income Tax.  Pursuant to the old laws and regulations in the PRC, Sunplus was entitled to an exemption from PRC income tax for two years starting from its first profitable year.  As Sunplus’ statutory year-end is December 31, the tax exemption applied to the period from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2004.  Sunplus was also entitled to three years of 50% exemption after the expiration of the two years of full exemption.  The 50% tax exemption applied to the period from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2007.  For the period from April 1, 2006 to 31 December 31, 2007, Sunplus is subject to PRC Income Tax at a reduced rate of 13.5%.  Pursuant to the New PRC Income Tax Laws, the prevailing statutory rate of enterprise income tax is 25% as of January 1, 2008; prior to that date, it was 27%.

Zhangzhou JiaXun and Fujian Qiaoxing were inactive during each of the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

A reconciliation between taxes computed at the United States statutory rate of 34% and the Group’s effective tax rate is as follows:-

8. 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.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, accounts and notes receivable.

At March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Group had credit risk exposure of uninsured cash in banks of approximately US$20,494,000 and US$23,355,000, respectively (including cash of discontinued operations of US$1,000 and US$25,000 respectively).

A substantial portion of revenue was generated from one group of customers for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

The net sales to customers representing at least 10% of net total sales are as follows:

9. Retirement and Welfare Benefits

The full-time employees of the PRC subsidiaries are entitled to staff welfare benefits including medical care, casualty, housing benefits, education benefits, unemployment insurance and pension benefits through a PRC government-mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan.  The PRC subsidiaries are required to accrue the employer-portion for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries. The total provision for such employee benefits was US$189,000 and US$212,000 for the two years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The PRC subsidiaries are required to make contributions to the plans out of the amounts accrued for all staff welfare benefits except for education benefits.  The PRC government is responsible for the staff welfare benefits including medical care, casualty, housing benefits, unemployment insurance and pension benefits to be paid to these employees.

14. New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 requires that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary be reported as equity and the amount of consolidated net income specifically attributable to the noncontrolling interest be identified in the consolidated financial statements. It also calls for consistency in the manner of reporting changes in the parent’s ownership interest and requires fair value measurement of any noncontrolling equity investment retained in a deconsolidation. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact adopting SFAS No. 160 will have on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R) broadens the guidance of SFAS No. 141, extending its applicability to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. It broadens the fair value measurement and recognition of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and interests transferred as a result of business combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) expands on required disclosures to improve the statement users’ abilities to evaluate the nature and financial effects of business combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for any further acquisitions.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS No. 157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13”, or FSP FAS No. 157-1. FSP FAS No. 157-1 provides a scope exception from SFAS No. 157 for the evaluation criteria on lease classification and capital lease measurement under SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” and other related accounting pronouncements. The Company adopted FSP FAS No. 157-1 effective October 1, 2008. Accordingly, the provisions of SFAS No. 157 will not be applied to lease transactions under SFAS No. 13 except when applying SFAS No. 157 to business combinations recorded by the Company.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP FAS 157-2”) which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of applying FSP FAS 157-2 to nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 ("SFAS No. 161"). SFAS No. 161 expands and amends the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect that adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 
F-21

 

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP FAS No. 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 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 SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS No. 142”). FSP FAS No. 142-3 is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset determined under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141(R) and other U.S. GAAP. FSP FAS No. 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FSP FAS No. 142-3 on its consolidated financial statements.

14. New Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework to be used in preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS No. 124-2, “Recognition of Other-Than- Temporary Impairments (“FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS No. 124-2”). FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS No. 124-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, for debt securities and the presentation and disclosure requirements of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS No. 124-2 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS No. 124-2 on its financial statements.

15. Subsequent Event

On April 9, 2009, legal title of Zhangzhou JiaXun was transferred from Sunplus to Qiaoxing Telecom (see Note 13).

Item 9A(T).
Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and our Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, or “disclosure controls,” pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Disclosure controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this annual report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls include some, but not all, components of our internal control over financial reporting. In making this evaluation, our management considered the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed below. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2009.  However, giving full consideration to the material weaknesses described below, we performed adequate analyses and procedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statements included in this annual 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.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Our management performed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009, utilizing the criteria described in the “Internal Control — Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The objective of this assessment was to determine whether our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2009. Management’s assessment included evaluation of such elements as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and our overall control environment.

 
Page 30 of 41

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009, we identified the following material weaknesses, which have not been fully remedied and continued to exist:

 
·
There was a lack of 1) effective communication of the importance of internal controls over financial reporting throughout the structure of the Company and 2) an adequate tone set by management around control consciousness.

 
·
We do not have sufficient in-house capacity to review and supervise the accounting operations. Our policies and procedures with respect to the review, supervision and monitoring of accounting operations were not operating in a fully effective manner.  Timely review of vouchers, general ledger and sub-ledger was not sufficient.

 
·
Our accounting staffs were not familiar with U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements.  In addition, we did not maintain effective controls over the preparation and review of the period-end closing procedures to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the consolidated financial statements and that balances and disclosures reported in the consolidated financial statements reconciled to the underlying supporting schedules and accounting records.

 
·
There was a lack of effective anti-fraud program designed to detect and prevent fraud relating to an effective whistle-blower program, consistent background checks of personnel in positions of responsibility and an ongoing program to manage identified fraud risks.

 
·
We did not maintain an effective risk assessment and management mechanism.  Specifically, we do not have sufficient internal mechanisms to prevent management override in a fully effective manner.

 
·
Our internal audit function was not sufficient. Specifically, there were no personnel with an appropriate level of experience, training and there were no lines of reporting to allow an internal audit group to function effectively in determining the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting and monitoring the ongoing effectiveness thereof.

In light of these material weaknesses management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2009.

However, giving full consideration to the material weaknesses described above, we performed adequate analyses and procedures, including among other things, transaction reviews and account reconciliations, in order to provide assurance that our consolidated financial statements included in this annual 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.

We have made certain changes in internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, that have a material effect or, are reasonably likely to have a material effect, on our internal control over financial reporting.  In regard to the safeguarding of documentation, we have implemented procedures to safeguard all important documentation by purchasing new sets of safeguarding equipment to secure important documentation. We have also implemented the policy of reviewing all of our contracts and agreements and storing them properly.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Item 11.
Executive Compensation.

Background and Compensation Philosophy

There are altogether five (5) persons acting individually either as a director or an executive officer or both in our Company:  (1) Mr. Xiaofeng Li, our Chief Executive Officer and director, and beneficial owner of 6.64 % of our common stock; (2) Mr. Xiangning Qin, our Chief Financial Officer, (3) Mr. Jiancheng Fang, our independent director; (4) Mr. Chao Jiang, our independent director and (5)Chengning Zhang, our independent director. Our board of directors have historically determined the compensation to be paid to our executive officers based on our financial and operating performance and prospects, the level of compensation paid to similarly situated executives in comparably sized companies and contributions made by the officers’ to our success.  Each of the named officers will be measured by a series of performance criteria by the board of directors, or the compensation committee when it is established, on a yearly basis.  Such criteria will be set forth based on certain objective parameters such as job characteristics, required professionalism, management skills, interpersonal skills, related experience, personal performance and overall corporate performance.

Our board of directors have not adopted or established a formal policy or procedure for determining the amount of compensation paid to our executive officers.  Mr. Li has been and may continue to be involved when our board of directors deliberates compensation issues related to his or Mr. Qin’s compensation.

As our executive leadership and board of directors grow, our board of directors may decide to form a compensation committee charged with the oversight of executive compensation plans, policies and programs.

Elements of Compensation

We provide our executive officers solely with a base salary to compensate them for services rendered during the year.  Our policy of compensating our executives with a cash salary has served us well.  Because of our history of attracting and retaining executive talent, we do not believe it is necessary at this time to provide our executives discretionary bonuses, equity incentives, or other benefits in order for us to continue to be successful.

Base Salary

The yearly base salary of Mr. Xiaofeng Li for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $61,000 and $61,000, respectively.  Mr. Xiangning Qin received $11,000 and $7,000 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, respectively.  He was appointed as CFO on April 1, 2009. Mr. Jie Shi received $Nil during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009. He was appointed as the CEO in June 2008 and resigned in March 2009. Mr. Wai Chiu Albert Leung received $26,000 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009.  He served as CFO from September 2008 to April 2009. Mr. Murry Zuhe Xiao received $23,000 and $46,000 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, respectively.  He served as CFO from August 2005 to September 2009.

Discretionary Bonus

We have not provided our executive officers with any discretionary bonuses at the moment but our board of directors may consider the necessity of such a scheme in the future based on our financial and operating performance and prospects, the level of compensation paid to similarly situated executives in comparably sized companies and contributions made by the officers’ to our success.

 
Page 35 of 41

 

Equity Incentives

We have not established an equity based incentive program and have not granted stock based awards as a component of compensation.  In the future, we may adopt and establish an equity incentive plan pursuant to which awards may be granted if our board of directors determines that it is in the best interests of our stockholders and the Company to do so.

Retirement Benefits

One of our executive officers, namely, Xiaofeng Li, the Chief Executive Officer in Shanghai participates in the government –mandated multi-employer defined contribution retirement plan.

Perquisites

We have not provided our executive with any material perquisites and other personal benefits and, therefore, we do not view perquisites as a significant or necessary element of our executive’s compensation.

Deferred Compensation

We do not provide our executives the opportunity to defer receipt of annual compensation.

The following table sets forth information for the period indicated with respect to the persons who served as our CEO, CFO and other most highly compensated executive officers who served on our board of directors.

BONUSES AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION

We do not have any deferred compensation or retirement plans. We do not have a compensation committee; all decisions regarding compensation are determined by our entire board of directors.

OPTION GRANTS IN THE LAST FISCAL YEAR

We did not grant any options or stock appreciation rights to our named executive officers or directors in the fiscal year 2009. As of March 31, 2009, Mr. Xiaofeng Li, a director, owned 1,998,237 shares of common stock in our Company, which represented 6.64% of the total number of shares issued and outstanding.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Our bylaws provide for the indemnification of our present and prior directors and officers or any person who may have served at our request as a director or officer of another corporation in which we own shares of capital stock or of which we are a creditor, against expenses actually and necessarily incurred by them in connection with the defense of any actions, suits or proceedings in which they, or any of them, are made parties, or a party, by reason of being or having been director(s) or officer(s) of us or of such other corporation, in the absence of negligence or misconduct in the performance of their duties. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditure by us, which we may be unable to recoup.

Insofar as indemnification by us for liabilities arising under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to provisions of the Amended Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us is in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

At the present time, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or other agent of ours in which indemnification would be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding which may result in a claim for such indemnification.

Compensation of Directors
 
Our Board of Directors receives no compensation.
