CHINA DIGITAL WIRELESS INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND
China Digital Wireless, Inc. ("CDW") through its subsidiary sells mobile phones
to retailers, distributors, and related parties, provides advertising services
and provides information services to users of mobile phones and pagers.
Substantially all operations are conducted in Shanghai, People's Republic of
China ("PRC").
In order to meet ownership requirements under Chinese law that restrict a
foreign company from operating in certain industries such as value-added
telecommunication, advertising service and Internet services, CDW's subsidiary
has entered into information service and cooperation agreements with two of
CDW's affiliates that are incorporated in China: Shanghai Sifang Information
Technology Co. ("Sifang Information") and Shanghai Tianci Industry Co. Ltd
("Tianci Industry"). CDW holds no ownership interest in Sifang Information or
Tianci Industry. Sifang Information and Tianci Industry contract with China
Mobile Communications Corporation ("China Mobile"), and China United
Telecommunications Corporation ("China Unicom"), to provide wireless value-added
information services to wireless receiver customers in China via China Mobile
and China Unicom. Sifang Information transmits those services to customers of
China Mobile and China Unicom on behalf of itself and Tianci Industry pursuant
to a signed agreement between Sifang Information and Tianci Industry.
Business History
CDW's business is primarily conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary Sifang
Holdings and its wholly-owned subsidiary TCH Data Technology Co., Ltd. ("TCH"),
that collectively with CDW are referred to as the "Company". Sifang Holdings was
established under the laws of the Cayman Islands on February 9, 2004 for the
purpose of holding a 100% equity interest in TCH. TCH was established as a
foreign investment enterprise in Shanghai under the laws of the PRC on May 25,
2004, with registered capital of $7.2 million.
CDW's current operations were originally a business division of Sifang
Information. Sifang Information is a Shanghai-based privately owned enterprise
established under the laws of the PRC on August 14, 1998. Sifang Information is
engaged in the business of pager and mobile phone distribution and provides
value added information services to the customers in the Shanghai metropolitan
area. In March 2004, Sifang Information spun off its mobile phone distribution
business and the majority of its value added information services business to
TCH. As the acquiring entity under common control, TCH initially recognized all
the assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts in the accounts
of Sifang Information at the date of transfer under the guidance of Statements
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, Appendix D.
On May 26, 2004, Sifang Information exchanged 100% of the equity interest in TCH
for 100% of the equity interest in Sifang Holdings. Since the ultimate owners of
the three entities were the same owners and the three entities remained under
common control, the ownership exchange transaction was accounted for at
historical costs under the guidance of SFAS No. 141, Appendix D. Prior to May
26, 2004, there were no activities in Sifang Holdings. As a result of the
exchange of ownership between TCH and Sifang Holdings, TCH's historical
financial statements became the historical financial statements of Sifang
Holdings.
As a result of the spin-off, the Company engages in the business of mobile phone
distribution and provides pager and mobile phone users with access to certain
value-added information reformatted by TCH. TCH purchases mobile phones from
first tier distributors and sells them to retailers and distributors with a
mark-up. In the process of providing value-added information services through
entering into monthly subscription agreements with various users, TCH purchases
trading activity information from stock exchanges, comments and analysis on PRC
stock markets provided by certain reputable security and investment companies,
lottery information, weather forecast, and other value-added products and
reformats the aforementioned information through decoding and recoding and then
has the reformatted information transmitted by Sifang Information, via service
contracts, to pager users. The value-added information is constantly saved on
TCH's server in order for mobile phone users to dial in via China Mobile or
China Unicom. By signing a monthly subscription agreement, wireless receiver
users agree to make advance payments for its services for either three or
six-month subscription periods.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America ("U.S.GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to
Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by U.S.GAAP for a complete
presentation of financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation of the Company's financial condition and results of operations
for the interim periods presented in this Form 10-QSB have been included.
Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
financial results for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CDW, its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Sifang Holdings, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, TCH.
Substantially all of CDW's revenues are derived from the operations of TCH,
which represents substantially all of CDW's consolidated assets and liabilities
as of March 31, 2006. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated.
Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions
The Renminbi ("RMB"), the national currency of the PRC, is the primary currency
of the economic environment in which the operations of the Company are
conducted. The Company uses the United States dollar ("U.S. dollars") for
financial reporting purposes.
The Company translates its financial statements into U.S. dollars in accordance
with SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation." All asset and liability
accounts have been translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance
sheet date (at March 31, 2006, the prevailing exchange rate of the U.S. dollar
against the RMB was 8.0170), and the statement of income is translated at
average rate during the reporting period (the average rate of the U.S. dollar
against the RMB, during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 were 8.0436). Equity
items are translated at historical rates. Adjustments resulting from the
translation of the Company's financial statements from RMB into U.S. dollars are
recorded in shareholders' equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive
income. Gains or losses resulting from transactions in currencies other than RMB
are reflected in the statement of income for the reporting periods.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives revenues from the sale of mobile phones, advertisement
designing service and the provision of wireless information services that are
used on mobile phones, pagers and prepaid phone cards. The Company additionally
earns commission income ("Agency Income") from the sale of CDMA mobile phones on
the behalf of a related party. The Company recognizes its revenues net of
related business taxes and value-added taxes.
Mobile Phone Sales:
Revenues generated from the sale of mobile phones are recognized when the
products are shipped to the distributor or retailer and when persuasive evidence
of an arrangement exists, delivery of the products has occurred, customer
acceptance has been obtained, which means the significant risks and rewards of
ownership have been transferred to the customer, the price is fixed or
determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Advertising Servicing Revenue, Net:
Advertising revenues are derived from advertisement designing, masterminding and
producing services. The Company recognizes service revenues over the term of the
noted agreement at the time of completion of the services. The Company records
the revenue from Shanghai Sifang Media Co., Ltd. ("Sifang Media") on a net basis
7
in compliance with EITF 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principle versus
Net as an Agent" because the Company is not the primary obligor in the
arrangement and they receive a fixed fee from Shanghai Sifang Media Co., Ltd.
and they have no latitude in determining prices.
Information Services:
The Company recognizes service revenues over the term of the noted agreement
and/or when the services have been provided to the end user.
i) Information Services - TCH:
By signing a subscription agreement, wireless receiver users agree to make
payments for three to six-month subscriptions in advance. TCH records the
proceeds as deferred revenue and amortizes the deferred revenue over the
subscription period. When customers buy a pre-charged service card, the Company
records the proceeds as deferred revenue. When a customer starts to use this
card to access the Company's server and starts to use a pager to access the
aforementioned information, the Company identifies the subscription period and
amortizes the deferred revenue over the subscription period.
ii) Information Services - Installing Agent:
In response to a retailer's request, the Company has an installing agent who
installs the Company's software on mobile phones, which are owned by the
retailer. The retailer sells these phones for a premium covering a fee to be
paid to the installing agent and pre-charged six-month subscription fees to be
paid to the Company. After a customer using such a phone dials into the server
to access the desired information, the server records a unique identification
number installed on the mobile phone, which indicates that a specific phone user
starts his or her subscription period. After the Company receives a detailed
list from the installing agent regarding the number of phones that have been
installed with the Company's software, the Company matches this information with
a detailed list from the retailer setting forth how many such phones have been
sold. Based on the number of such phones sold, the Company records accounts
receivable and deferred revenue correspondingly. At the date on which a customer
starts to dial into the server, the six-month subscription period begins and the
Company amortizes deferred revenue accordingly.
iii) Information Services - China Mobile and/or Unicom:
The Company's affiliates, Sifang Information and Shanghai Tianci Industrial
Group Co., Ltd. ("Tianci Group"), contract with China Mobile and/or China Unicom
(collectively, "Mobile Operators") for the transmission of the Company's
value-added information services. The Mobile Operators bill and collect from
customers and then pass those fees (net of billing and collection service fees
charged by the Mobile Operators) to Sifang Information and Tianci Group who in
turn pass those fees to the Company. The Company recognizes net revenues based
on the total amount paid by its customers, for which the Mobile Operators bill
and collect on behalf of the Company. There is a time lag ranging from 10 days
to 45 days between the end of the service period and the date the Mobile
Operators send out their billing statements due to the segregated billing
systems of each of the provincial subsidiaries of the Mobile Operators. The
Company has not recognized service revenue based on the records provided by its
own server but has performed a reconciliation on a monthly basis of the revenues
recognized by the Company's server to the Mobile Operator's billing statement.
In addition, the Mobile Operators charge a network usage fee based on a fixed
per message fee multiplied by the excess of messages sent over messages
received. (This type of service is not covered by a monthly service subscription
and the Company has no control over whether it will occur or not.) Network usage
fees charged by the Mobile Operators are reduced for messages received by the
Company because the Mobile Operators separately charge the sender a fee for
these transmissions.
The Company records the revenue from the Mobile Operators on a net basis in
compliance with EITF 99-19, "Reporting Revenues Gross as a Principle versus Net
as an Agent" because the Company:
o Is not the primary obligor in the arrangement, as it relies on Sifang
Information to transmit the information services to the end user,
o Has limited ability to adjust the cost of services by adjusting the
design or marketing of the service,
8
o Has limited ability to determine prices, the Company must follow the
price policy within ranges prescribed by Mobile Operators, and
o Has limited ability to assume risk of non-payment by customers.
The Company's dependence on the substance and timing of the billing systems of
the mobile telecommunications operators may require the Company to estimate
portions of its reported revenue for information services from time to time. As
a result, subsequent adjustments may be made to the information service revenue
in the Company's consolidated financial statements. As the Company does not bill
its information services users directly, the Company depends on the billing
systems and records of the mobile telecommunications operators to record the
volume of its information services provided, to charge its users through mobile
telephone bills, to collect payments from its users, and to pay the Company.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash accounts
at credit worthy financial institutions.
Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk
During the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to
retailers and distributors who are mainly located in the Shanghai metropolitan
area. Typically, for mobile phone distributors, credit terms require payment to
be made within 30 days of the sale. The Company does not require collateral from
its customers. The Company's policy is to provide for an allowance for doubtful
accounts that is based on 5% of total trade accounts receivable less amounts due
from related parties and from the installing agent. Total trade accounts
receivable due from related parties was nil and $567,307 as of December 31, 2005
and March 31, 2006, respectively.
The Company regularly evaluates and monitors the creditworthiness of each
customer on a case-by-case basis. The Company includes any account balances that
are determined to be uncollectible in the overall allowance for doubtful
accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable
is written off against the allowance. The Company believes that its allowance
for doubtful accounts was adequate as of March 31, 2005 and 2006. However,
actual write-offs might exceed the recorded allowance.
The following table presents activities in the allowance for doubtful accounts:

============ ============
Inventories
Inventories consist principally of mobile phones manufactured by name brand
manufacturers with various features and are stated at the lower of cost
(weighted-average) or market.
Rebates and Credits Receivable
In 2004, the Company's major vendor began providing rebates and credits if the
Company meets certain sales volume levels prescribed by the vendor. As a result,
the Company is entitled to receive certain rebates and credits for the inventory
held and sold by the Company within the specified period of time as defined by
its vendor through submitting the necessary application forms. In general, once
the vendor approves the applications, the amounts of these rebates and credits
will be deducted from the Company's accounts payable to its vendor and decrease
the cost of goods sold or inventory held correspondingly.
9
Capitalization of Software Costs
The Company's software is developed by an independent third party to enable
pager users to accept certain recoded information which is transmitted by the
Company, through affiliates, and enables mobile phone users to dial into the
Company's server. The software is developed for internal use and gives the
Company the ability to provide value added information services. In accordance
with SOP 98-1 "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or
Obtained for Internal Use," the Company capitalizes the external cost incurred
to develop this internal-use software by an engineering company at the
application development stage and amortizes that cost over the estimated
economic life of the software (two or three years) which is consistent with the
expected life of a particular type of mobile phone.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are stated net of accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation expense is determined using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Buildings 20 years
Software 2-3 years
Vehicles and other equipment 2-5 years
Maintenance and repairs are charged directly to expense as incurred, whereas
betterment and renewals are generally capitalized in their respective property
accounts. When an item is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and
applicable accumulated depreciation are removed and the resulting gain or loss
is recognized and reflected as an item before operating income.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB"). SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the
estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual
disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment
loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the
fair value. There was no impairment of long-lived assets during the year ended
December 31, 2005 and three months ended March 31, 2006.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, advances
and deposits to supplier, accounts payable and other current liabilities are
reasonable estimates of their fair value because of the short maturity of these
items.
Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004),
"Share-Based Payment". SFAS No. 123R requires companies to estimate the fair
value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing
model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest
is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service periods. Currently,
the Company does not have a stock option plan.
Value Added Tax
TCH is subject to value added tax ("VAT") imposed by the PRC on TCH's domestic
product sales. The output VAT is charged to customers who purchase mobile phones
from TCH and the input VAT is paid when TCH purchases mobile phones from its
vendors. The VAT rate applied for TCH is 17%. The input VAT can be offset
against the output VAT.
10
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 requires an entity to recognize
deferred tax liabilities and assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequence attributable to the difference between
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the
financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the
enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. 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 Company establishes a
valuation when it is more likely than not that that the assets will not be
recovered.
The Company's Chinese subsidiary, TCH, is registered at Pudong District in
Shanghai and subject to a favorable income tax rate of 15% compared to a normal
income tax rate of 33% (30% for the central government and 3% for the local
government) under current PRC tax laws. Sifang Information is registered in the
Shanghai downtown and the area has been treated by the Shanghai Municipal
Administration of Labor as an enterprise that provides unemployed and
handicapped people with jobs. Accordingly, Sifang Information is entitled to a
favorable income tax rate of 15% and qualified for an income tax exemption for
three years from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2002, and a 50% income tax
reduction for three years from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2005. The income
tax provisions presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements for
the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006 are based on 15% of income
taxable to TCH. The deferred tax assets are determined based on the historical
income tax rates applicable at the TCH level.
There is no income tax for companies domiciled in the Cayman Islands.
Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements do not present any
income tax provisions related to Cayman Islands tax jurisdiction.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S.GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
materially from those estimates.
Comprehensive Income
The Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", issued by
the FASB. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and presentation of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. The Company has chosen to report comprehensive income in
the statements of income and comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is

In order to develop the Company's mobile phone distribution business, the
Company applied to become a distributor of Nokia mobile phones (on the
provincial level). On March 20, 2005, TCH signed an agreement with Sifang
Information with respect to the distribution of Nokia mobile phones and under
which TCH will act as an agent to sell Nokia phones on Sifang Information's
behalf. In May 2005, Sifang Information obtained the final approval from Nokia.
In order to develop the Company's advertising service business, in January 2006,
the Company entered into an agreement with Sifang Information for the
establishment of a new joint cooperation entity with a third party. The joint
cooperation entity will act as the sole advertising agent of TCH. The Company
has advanced RMB20,000,000 (equivalent to $2,494,699) to Sifang Information to
contribute to the joint cooperation entity. The remaining outstanding advances

Deposit for Business Acquisition
In December 2005, TCH entered into a series of agreements to purchase (i) 95% of
the equity interests of Shanghai Kena Energy Saving Electric Co Ltd ("Kena") for
an aggregate purchase price of RMB 28,500,000 (approximately $3,532,000); (ii) a
related patent from one of the shareholders of Kena for RMB 11,000,000
(approximately $1,363,000); and (iii) related rights to make a patent
application from one of the shareholders of Kena for RMB 11,000,000
(approximately $1,363,000). The purchase price for both the equity interests in
Kena and the consideration for purchase of the patent and the right to apply for
registration of the patent shall be paid by Sifang Information on behalf of TCH.
On February 10, 2006, these agreements were amended to impose an additional
condition on Mr. Zhang Naiyao, the transferor of the patent and holder of the
right to make the patent application, that if he fails to provide the necessary
technical assistance services to enable TCH to use the patented technology in
producing products on a large scale that meet the standards set by the Company
within one year, TCH shall have the right to demand the return of the relevant
13
payment received by him in full and to terminate the agreement for the
assignment of the patent and the right to apply for registration of the patent.
The amendments also set forth the arrangement for payment of the purchase price
between TCH and Sifang Information. The purchase price for both the equity
interests in Kena and the consideration for purchase of the patent and the right
to apply for registration of the patent shall be paid by Sifang Information on
behalf of TCH. According to the amended agreements, the amount of the purchase
consideration paid by Sifang Information on behalf of TCH will be applied to
offset the trade receivables owed to TCH by Sifang Information.
Kena was established on April 26, 2005 and it specializes in the research,
development and manufacture of energy-saving products, as well as illumination
projects in China. The patent and patent application mentioned above relate to a

NOTE 6 -EMPLOYEE WELFARE AND RETIREMENT BENEFITS
The PRC has been undergoing significant reforms with regard to its employee
welfare and fringe benefits administration. Any enterprise operating in the PRC
is subject to government-mandated employee welfare and retirement benefit
contribution. In accordance with PRC laws and regulations, TCH participates in a
multi-employer defined contribution plan pursuant to which TCH is required to
provide employees with certain retirement, medical and other fringe benefits.
PRC regulations require TCH to pay the local labor administration bureau a
monthly contribution at a stated contribution rate based on the monthly basic
compensation of qualified employees. The local labor administration bureau,
which manages various investment funds, will take care of employee retirement,
medical and other fringe benefits. TCH has no further commitments beyond its
monthly contribution. TCH contributed a total of $12,782 and $11,934 to these
funds as part of selling, general and administrative expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
NOTE 7 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid
Financial Instruments--an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140," to
permit fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that
contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial
instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement event occurring

In March 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial
Assets--an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140," that provides guidance on
accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 156, separately recognized
servicing assets and servicing liabilities must be initially measured at fair
value, if applicable. Subsequent to initial recognition, the company may use
either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method to account
for servicing assets and servicing liabilities within the scope of this
Statement. SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal
year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 156

Overview of Business Background
Sifang Holdings was formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands on
February 9, 2004 for the purpose of holding a 100% equity interests in TCH. TCH
was established as a foreign investment enterprise in Shanghai under the laws of
the PRC on May 25, 2004, with a registered capital of $7.2 million.
Sifang Information is a Shanghai-based privately owned enterprise
established under the laws of the PRC on August 14, 1998. Sifang Information is
engaged in the business of pager and mobile phone distribution and provides
value added information services to the customers in the Shanghai metropolitan
area.
Sifang Information operates in a business segment that is subject to
certain restrictions imposed by the government of the PRC. For example, paging
facilities, radio transmitting stations and transmitting equipment owned by
Sifang Information are not allowed to be owned by foreign investment enterprises
in accordance with PRC government regulations. Therefore, Sifang Information
still maintains a small part of its business and paging facilities in order to
stay in compliance with relevant regulations and laws in the PRC.
TCH engages in the business of mobile phone distribution and provides
access to certain information reformatted by TCH to pager and mobile phone
(collectively "wireless receiver") users. TCH purchases mobile phones from the
first tier distributors and sells them to retailers with a mark-up. In the
process of providing value-added information services through entering into
monthly subscription agreements with various users, TCH purchases trading
activity information from stock exchanges, comments and analysis on PRC stock
markets provided by certain reputable security and investment companies, lottery
information, weather forecast, and other value-added products and reformats the
aforementioned information through decoding and recoding and then has the
reformatted information transmitted by Sifang Information, via service
contracts, to pager users. The information is constantly saved in TCH's server
in order for mobile phone users to dial in via China Mobile or China Unicom. By
signing a monthly subscription agreement, wireless users agree to make advance
payments for either three or six-month subscription periods.
We launched a digital media project to move into the media market in
China in 2005. In conjunction with charitable organizations, we have installed
donation boxes with digital TV incorporated on top of them in the main lobbies
of commercial banks, hotels, malls and other public locations to call the
public's attention to the charity and broadcast commercial advertisements.

Discussion and Analysis of Operating Results
Three months ended March 31, 2006 Compared to Three months Ended March 31, 2005
Revenues
Total Revenues
Total sales revenues consist of product sales, product sales to related
parties, and net information and advertising service revenue. Total sales
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 decreased by $4,118,366,
representing a 71.0% decrease, to $1,679,685 as compared to $5,798,051 for the
same period of the prior year. The decrease was mainly due to the significant
decline of the advertising service revenue and mobile phone sales to related
parties. The demand for mobile phones in the Chinese telecommunication Market is
decreasing as the Market gradually becomes saturated.
In the three months ended March 31, 2006, Samsung and Nokia's mobile
phones accounted for about 79.4% and 20.6% of our total product sales,
respectively, compared to the same period of the prior year, in which Samsung's
mobile phones accounted for 97% of our total product sales and other brands
accounted for the balance. During 2006, market competition for mobile phone
sales continued to intensify, causing us to reposition ourselves in the
marketplace and move away from the low-margin sales. The increase of our overall
mark-up ratio to 10.4%, in comparison with a mark-up ratio of 3.4% for the same
period of the prior year, primarily resulted from the exceptionally high mark-up
for the sales of Samsung mobile phone to a related party during the period.
Product Sales
Revenue for product sales in the three months ended March 31, 2006
decreased by $319,194, representing a 47.7% decrease, to $349,997 as compared to
$669,191 for the same period of the prior year. The decrease was mainly due to
the market factors described above. We reduced the effort and cost of generating
sales from such business throughout the period.
We entered an agreement to distribute selected Nokia mobile phones
exclusively in the Shanghai region of China in May 2005 and now have obtained
the right to distribute two popular models of Nokia's mobile phones. Initially,
we believed that this agreement would enhance both our market share and
profitability. The initial margin of Nokia was as high as 8% in mid 2005,
however, as a result of the sudden change in the market factors during the
latter half of 2005, the sales mark-up of the Nokia mobile phones to our
customers dropped significantly to 1% during the 4th quarter of 2005. The
mark-up for Nokia phone was 1.5% during the 1st quarter of 2006. The Company's
management is currently reviewing the market factors and considering
discontinuing the mobile phone distribution business in latter 2006 if the
market situation remains soft.
Product sales to a related party
We distributed Samsung mobile phones to our related party, Shantian, in
which Sifang Information holds a 51% equity interest, for its retail market
channel and facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we sold
$890,744 worth of mobile phones to Shantian, with an average mark-up of
approximately 12.7%, (compared to $4,060,514 at gross profit margin of 2.4% in
2005), which represents a $3,169,770 or 78.1% decrease compared to the same
period of the prior year. The decrease in sales was also attributable to the
market factors mentioned above. However, due to the urgent demand of a specific
model of Samsung mobile phones from Shantian, we were able to charge a
exceptionally high mark-up during the period.
17
Information service revenue, net
Total information service revenue net of related business tax and
service fee for the three months ended March 31, 2006 decreased by $347,430,
representing a decrease of approximately 57.0%, to $261,785 compared to $609,215
for the same period of the prior year.
Value-added service revenue from mobile phone users for the three
months ended March 31, 2006 decreased by $269,053 to $132,557 compared to
$401,610 for the same period of the prior year, representing a 67.0% decrease.
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, there is no service revenue from
mobile phone users was attributable to prepaid service fees generated by an
installing agent, Chengao Industry Co. Ltd, who installed the software on a
retailer's (Beijing Jianghe Communication Co., Ltd.) inventories and collected
proceeds from the retailer and transferred the proceeds to the Company,
representing a $388,637 decrease compared to the same period of the prior year.
The remaining $12,973 of the service revenue was generated by our SMS service
via China Mobile's network, representing a material decrease compared to the
same period of the prior year. The decrease was mainly due to the decline of our
financial value-added service. The sluggish Chinese stock market along with
inactive stock exchanges hindered our growth in this segment of business.
In addition, service revenue from pager users for the three months
ended March 31, 2006 decreased by $78,377 to $129,228 compared to $ 207,605 for
the same period of the prior year, representing a decrease of approximately
37.8%. We believe that service revenue from pager users will continue to
decrease given the increased popularity of mobile phones over beepers and
pagers. We project that the decrease in service revenue from pager users will
likely plateau at a certain level as most lower income pager users still like to
use pagers to access our information services.
Advertising service revenue, net
We launched a digital media project to enter into the media market in
China in 2005. In conjunction with charitable organizations, we have installed
donation boxes with digital TV incorporated on top of them in the main lobbies
of commercial banks, hotels, malls and other public locations to call the
public's attention to the charity and broadcast commercial advertisements.
We entered into an agreement with China Charity Foundation ("CCF"), a
national non-profit charitable organization, which enables the Company to
install donation boxes for CCF in banks and other commercial locations
throughout China that will also have the Company's out-of-home digital
television advertising media platform attached. The completion of this agreement
enables us to accelerate the placement of out-of-home digital television
platforms, particularly in banks across China. The Company negotiates placement
of the donation boxes and digital television media platform with banks and other
commercial entities that wish to support the national charity. The China Banking
Regulatory Commission ("CBRC") has previously agreed, pending completion of the
agreement with CCF, to support and coordinate this effort with respect to
approvals of donation box placements in banks throughout China.
This agreement facilitates the continued placement of platforms with
little or no direct costs. We believe that such costs may constitute as much as
30% of the direct costs of our competitors based upon an analysis of publicly
available information.
We have placed more than 850 multimedia donation boxes in the inbound
area of Shanghai and other arranged spots will be rolled out in the public
places with high traffic flow. Based on our experience in Shanghai, our strategy
is to expand our network to penetrate other large and mid-sized developed cities
throughout China. We believe the earnings potential from the advertising service
will be a new source of profit in view of the upcoming Special Olympic World
Summer Games in 2007 and World Exposition in 2010 to be held in Shanghai.
In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2006, TCH
generated $177,159 in service income from advertisement designing and producing
services, which represents a decrease of $281,972 or 61.4%, compared to the
service revenue of $459,131 rendered from the advertisement designing and
producing services to Tianci Real Estate, a related party, for publicity and
promoting its apartment during the three months ended March 31, 2005.
Cost of goods sold
The cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2006
decreased by $3,458,175 to $1,111,618 compared to $4,569,793 for the same period
of the prior year, representing a 75.7% decrease. The decrease was consistent
with the decrease in revenue from product sales.
18
Cost of service
The cost of service for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased
by $35,878 to $229,375 compared to $193,497 for the same period of the prior
year, representing a 18.5% increase. The increase was mainly due to the increase
of personnel costs for the value-added mobile phone and pager services. The
breakdown of our service business has changed and the proportion of pager
services that are related to financial information has increased, resulting in
an increase in associated costs pertaining to the securities information fee
paid. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we continued to maintain
current fee structures and establish collaborative relationships or partnerships
with Chinese mobile operators and certain information content providers. Most of
the cost of service was fixed costs and thus it cannot be reduced in response to
the decrease in information service revenue.
Gross profit
After taking into account the cost of goods sold and cost of service,
our gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2006 decreased by $696,069
to $338,692, representing a 67.3% decrease, compared to gross profit of
$1,034,761 for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in gross profit
was primarily attributable to the drop of proceeds generated from the
advertising service and phone sales during the three months ended March 31,
2006.

various components of revenue.

decreased by $16,322 to $26,967 compared to $43,289 for the same period of the
prior year. The decrease was primarily due to the drop of the management fee
paid for Sifang Information as a result of the declining revenue generated from
information services.

31, 2006 increased by $15,575 to $207,614 compared to $192,039 for the same
period of the prior year, representing a 8.1% decrease. The increase was mainly
due to the increase of audit fee and partially offset by the tightened control
of expense incurred in TCH.
General and administrative expenses incurred at the TCH level for the
three months ended March 31, 2006 decreased from $102,002 to $69,949,
representing a 31.4% decrease. The decrease was primarily attributable to the
collection of accounts receivable from our clients, resulting in the recovery of
provisions for bad debts, and cost control, which lead to the decline of office
expenses and professional fees. At the parent level, we incurred an aggregate of
$137,665 of audit fee and other general expenses in the three months ended March
31, 2006, compared to audit fees and service fees for Investor Relations and
Public Relations of $90,037 incurred in the prior year.
Interest income, net
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the interest income
derived from bank deposits increased by $866 to $1,331, compared to $465 for the
same period of the prior year.
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, finance expense incurred
in discounting bank drafts net of interest income from bank deposits increased
by $1,216 to $1,216, compared to nil for the same period of the prior year.
Income taxes
The Company's Chinese subsidiary, TCH is registered at Pudong District
in Shanghai and is subject to a favorable income tax rate of 15% compared to a
normal income tax rate of 33% (30% for the central government and 3% for the
local government) under current PRC tax laws. The income tax provisions
presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements are based on the
historical actual income tax rates of TCH at 15% for the year ended December 31,
2005. In the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, income tax expense was
$133,490 and $36,296, respectively, based on pretax income of $799,898 and
$104,430, respectively.
Comprehensive income
We recorded comprehensive income of $106,129 for the three months ended
March 31, 2006, a $560,277 decrease in comprehensive income compared to
comprehensive income of $666,406 for the same period of the prior year,
representing a decrease of approximately 84.1%. The decrease in comprehensive
income was attributable to (i) the decrease of revenue contribution from our
advertising business that was newly initiated in the 2005 fiscal year, and (ii)
the significant declines in revenue from sales of mobile phones and information
services. These factors offset the appreciation of Chinese RMB to US dollars of
$37,995 in the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
Earnings per share
The earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was
$0.00 compared to $0.04 for the same period of the prior year. The decrease was
due mainly to the decrease in the net income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our net cash used during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was
$2,483,547 while we generated cash of $328,731 during the same period in 2005,
which represents a net change of $2,812,278.
Net cash flows used in operating activities was $19,665 during the
three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to net cash flows provided by
operating activities of $311,208 during the same period of the prior year. The
net decrease in cash provided was primarily due to the decrease in collection of
accounts receivable, accounts payable and net income which was offset by the
decrease in advances and deposits to suppliers and inventories.
20
Net cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 increased to $2,494,699 compared to $1,482,475 for the same
period of the prior year. The change in cash used in investing activities was
mainly due to the increase in loan to related parties. As of March 31, 2006, the
amounts due from Sifang Media and Sifang Information represent $860,671 and
$4,779,528 respectively.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 was nil compared to $1,500,000 for the same period of the prior
year. The cash inflow of $1,500,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2005
related to proceeds for shares that were issued in fiscal 2004 but were held in
escrow until we filed a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 with the SEC in
2005. We treated the proceeds held in escrow as a current asset as the entire
amount was released from escrow in March 2005 and paid to us.
We believe that current cash balance and cash flows from operations, if
any, will be sufficient to meet present growth strategies and related working
capital. In regards to the capital expenditures, we have sufficient funds to
expand our operations. We plan to utilize a combination of internally generated
funds from operations with potential debt and/or equity financings to fund our
longer-term growth over a period of two to five years. The availability of
future financings will depend on market conditions. There is no assurance that
the future funding will be available.
The forecast of the period of time through which our financial
resources will be adequate to support operations is a forward-looking statement
that involves risks and uncertainties.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have never entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements
and have not formed any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any
debt or commitment of other entities or entered into any options or
non-financial assets.

contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation in

In March 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of
Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140," that provides guidance
on accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing
liabilities. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 156, separately
recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities must be initially measured
at fair value, if applicable. Subsequent to initial recognition, the company may
use either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method to
account for servicing assets and servicing liabilities within the scope of this
statement. SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entity"s fiscal
year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 156

No. 46(R)", that will become effective beginning July 2006. FSP FIN No. 46(R)-6
clarifies that the variability to be considered in applying Interpretation 46(R)
shall be based on an analysis of the design of the variable interest entity. The
adoption of this FSP is not expected to have a material effect on our
