PART I

Item 1.
Business.

Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” in this Annual Report are to the combined business of Orsus Xelent Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including its operating subsidiaries, United First International Limited, Beijng Orsus Xelent Tech& Trading Company (“Xelent”), Orsus Xelent Holdings (BVI) Limited and Orsus Xelent Trading (HK) Company Limited.

Introduction

On March 31, 2005, we completed a stock exchange transaction (“Exchange Transaction”) with the shareholders of United First International Limited (“UFIL”), a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong.  The Exchange Transaction was consummated under Delaware law and pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Exchange Agreement dated effective as of March 31, 2005 (“Exchange Agreement”).
 
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we issued shares of our common stock to the shareholders of UFIL in exchange for 100% of the outstanding capital stock of UFIL and UFIL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  We carry on our business through UFIL’s wholly owned subsidiary, Xelent.

Description of Business

Since May of 2003 we have, through the operations of Xelent, been engaged in the business of designing, and distributing economically priced cellular phones for retail and wholesale distribution. We outsourced  manufacturing to third party factories.  In February 2004, Xelent registered "ORSUS" with the State Administration for Industry and Commerce in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) as its product trademark.  The Company is also known as “Orsus Cellular” within the industry. In January 2007, the trademark “PROXLINK” was registered for the Company's specialized application mobile series.  Between April 2004 and the end of 2009, we have sold over 3.75 million mobile phones.

Our cellular phones are equipped with many cutting-edge features such as 1.8 to 2.8-inch CSTN (Color Super Twisted Nematic) and TFT (Thin Film Transistor) dual-color displays; capabilities for up to 160 minutes of video recording and up to 3 million pixel photography; Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer III (“MP3”), Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer IV (“MPEG4”) and Universal disk (“U disk”) support; dual stereo speakers; e-mail and multimedia messaging; between 40 and 64 polyphonic ring tones; slim bar-phone and flip-phone technology with ultra-thin lightweight design; and handwriting and PDA functions – all at low to moderate price points.

The Company has established an industrial design department for the purpose of developing proprietary mobile phones that will be attractive to our PRC customers.  Most of the mobile phones we design are for the Company’s exclusive sale and distribution; the remainder are developed in conjunction with outside design firms.  The long-term partners and manufacturers we employ to produce our cell-phones and accessories are the same experienced  Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) plants used by global brands like Motorola, Nokia and Ericsson. Our current operations include the outsourcing of manufacturing and customization, oversight of production and quality control at our OEM factories, and coordination of the distribution of our products to retailers and customers. In an effort to reduce our reliance on third-party manufacturers, we plan, eventually, to acquire a factory that will give us the capacity to produce our own phones and accessories.

The market for cellular phones in the PRC for has continued to expand and we have taken advantage of that expansion with our 2.5G wireless products. As the new Third Generation (“3G”) standard matures, we anticipate producing 3G products as well.  Our 3G products will be developed based on our own research as well as the knowledge we have gained from our cooperative efforts with strategic partners in the industry.

Organizational Structure

The Company has a linear organizational structure comprised of nine separate departments that have been developed to ensure proper project management and control. The departments are:

 
1

 

 
·
Project Management Department, which is responsible for coordinating the management of cellular phone projects, exchanging concepts and ideas with our research and development team, providing weekly project reports and supervising project schedules;
 
 
·
Technology Support and Quality Control Department, which is responsible for providing technical support for our software and hardware designs, checking and auditing our industrial and mechanical designs (“ID/IM”), and assisting with tooling engineering and quality control during mass production;
 
 
·
Business Management Department, which is responsible for purchasing materials; managing supply chains; coordinating Company business; and evaluating and signing business agreements, contracts, and other documents for our business partners;
 
 
·
Planning and Finance Department, which is responsible for overall accounting matters including oversight of accounting methods and processes, managing expenses, auditing Company records, and compiling financial plans and monthly/quarterly/yearly budgets and financial statements;
 
 
·
Human Resources Department, which is responsible for managing our employment-related matters, including hiring and termination of staff;
 
 
·
Financing and Investment Department, which is responsible for overall accounting and financial matters as well as investment research and analysis;
 
 
·
Customer Service Department, which is responsible for facilities maintenance; ordering spare parts; authorized network management; after-sale data analysis and service charge fees return; operating a hotline service center and customer service training center; and providing technical support and after-sale service quality assurance systems;
 
 
·
Research & Development (“R&D”) Department, which is responsible for researching new mobile phone models and developing new technologies; and
 
Marketing Development Department, which is responsible for helping the Company to find new business partners who will act as countryside distributors, provincial dealers, and/or overseas wholesalers.  The Marketing Development Department also helps the Company’s long-term partners to establish market campaigns and business models that incorporate the Company’s products.
 
Market Overview and Strategic Partners

In 2006, about 35% of the population of the PRC subscribed to a mobile phone service. According to statistics issued by the PRC’s Ministry of Information Industry, by July 23, 2007, that figure had increased by almost 40 million to approximately 502 million mobile subscribers, representing about 38% of the PRC’s population.  Nokia, currently the industry’s most competitive mobile manufacturer and supplier, has estimated that there will be about 630 million mobile phone service subscribers in the PRC by 2010.

According to In-Stat, a market research service provider, 165 million multimedia phones will be sold in the PRC by 2011, representing a market penetration rate of 81%.  Around 70% of the current owners of music phones and camera phones in the PRC express strong interest in more high-end equipment. And, because PRC mobile users show a strong preference for combined MP3 players/mobile phones, phone makers targeting PRC customers are likely to focus on producing these types of phones in the future.

Despite these projections, data from 2009 captured in the charts below show that development of the cellular phones industry in the PRC has been maintaining a modest growth level for the whole of 2009.  This is probably the result of the global economic recovery as well as restructuring among the PRC telecom carriers during this period.

The below data is market size of fiscal year 2009. (The end-users developed.)

On February 26, 2006, the TD-SCDMA technology standard was officially announced as the Third Generation (“3G”) standard in the PRC.  However, sales of 3G products have not developed as rapidly as was generally anticipated (it was thought that 3G network construction and issuance of 3G licenses would be approved by the end of 2006) and telecom operators are having to keep trying to promote the 3G network’s commercial utility.  In the meantime, the Company has started developing our own 3G cellular phone products based on our existing technologies as well as resources we have as a result of our cooperation with 3G solution and chips providers.  We are working towards obtaining 3G manufacturing licenses from the PRC government and are planning to join the TD-SCDMA Industry League.

Our relationships with strategic partners including CEC Mobile Co., Ltd. (“CECM”), Beijing Xingwang Shidai Tech & Trading Co., Ltd. (“XWSD”), and CECT-Chinacom Communications Co., Ltd. (“CECT-Chinacom”) have helped us increase our share of the cellular phone market in the PRC.  CECM manufactures our cellular phone products and also resells our products to its provincial and national sales distributors and dealers through its own sales network, thereby expanding our avenues for distribution. XWSD, another one of our major agents, sells our cellular phones to provincial distributors, city distributors, and dealers.

The Company has maintained a modest  sales level since the launch of our first mobile phones in April 2004.  The designs of our mobile phones continue to reflect our consideration and understanding of the habits and tastes of our customers in the PRC.  For instance, our products incorporate features that are popular in the PRC such as overlapped dual screens, powerful color messaging, and photography capabilities.  The Company’s products are, and have always been, low and moderately priced, but of high quality. On November 23, 2004, the premier consulting firm, CCIDNET Information Technology Co., Ltd. granted the “2004 Prize for the Most Potential Wireless Terminal” to the Company’s mobile phone model OS70 during its Annual Exhibition in the PRC. At the same exhibition, our M62 model was awarded the “2004 Prize for the Most Fashionable Wireless Terminal” in the high performance category. These awards are evidence of public and industry appreciation and acceptance of the Company’s mobile phones.

Building on our success in 2004, the Company began to focus on our R&D efforts and expand our sales channels.  In 2005, the Company added various multimedia features to our products in response to changes in consumer preferences; the multimedia phones showed strong sales.  We also developed super-thin mobile phones which sold even more successfully than our multimedia phones. We positioned ourselves well for the introduction of “smart mobile” phones in 2007, partly because of a Letter of Intent for mobile subscriptions that we executed with Unicom Huasheng, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Unicom.  In 2008, we successfully launched products that are adaptable to China Mobile Media Broadcasting (“CMMB”). In 2009, we will continue to develop our product sales channels, cooperate with domestic mobile operators, and focus our efforts on technology for business functions such as embedded Global Positioning Systems (“GPS”), PUSH Mail, and products related to information safety.

Description of Products and Services

Since 2007, Xelent has developed and launched nearly 30 cellular phone models.  We outsource the manufacturing of our products to unaffiliated third parties. Once our products are manufactured, they are delivered to a network of unaffiliated national sales distributors (see Description of Current Business - Market Overview and Strategic Partners) and dealers who, in turn, distribute our products to provincial sales distributors and dealers who distribute our products to retailers throughout the PRC.

The Company established itself in the PRC mobile phone market with the introduction of the first wristphone that combined wrist watch and mobile phone. Then, in response to a rapid increase in demand for color screen mobile products in the PRC, we produced single color dual screen mobiles (models F16 and F18), and a dual screen multi-color screen mobile (model FG25).  In response to customer preferences, we also equipped models F16 and F18 with cameras, laying the foundation for our R&D on camera and video functions and the introduction of many models of 300,000 pixel camera mobile products, including models FG830, FG850, OS83, OS85, OS70, OS86 and M851. We also met consumer demand with our launch of the 1M camera mobiles, models OSM62 and OSM72, which reflected a simple design style with multiple functions. We followed these early successes with many more models of multimedia mobiles, such as K600, X188 and D8120.  In 2007 we launched our X180 mobile information terminals to meet the market’s demand for information office products, providing swift and convenient mobile terminal products for industrial application and specific customers, such as China Unicom.  In addition to the products listed above, we have also developed many models of GSM/GPRS mobiles, including models N3200 and H8801.  In 2009, T303 and X780 ranked as our best selling models, contributing 15.6% and 17.2% respectively, to our total sales revenue of US$77,392 for the year. (by volume)

To meet changing market demands, we will continue to introduce economically-priced, high performance products that reflect our advantages in appearance, design, and functional development and will continue to strengthen our competitiveness in the domestic PRC mobile sector.

Research and Development (R&D)

Our R&D Department is responsible for researching new products and securing new technologies.  It has made significant contributions to the Company's ability to adapt our overall strategies and operations to market demand, sustain advanced product development, and, most importantly, enhance the technical strength that lies at the core of the Company’s competitiveness in the market. Most of our patented models and samples are developed exclusively by our R&D Department. Some of our most innovative products include the first telecommunications terminal to fully support the CDMA2000-1X protocol; the first wrist watch style wireless mobile phone; the first mobile phone made in the PRC using three-color OLED organic EL secondary display with TFT main display; the first mobile phone made in the PRC supporting four frequencies (850/900/1800/1900MHz); the first mobile phone made in the PRC with 64 polyphonic melodies; the first mobile phone supporting a USB interface and 16M flash U-disk (NAND-FLASH); and the first mobile phone made in the PRC with an internal 300K camera, Ultra-red, EMS, MMS, JAVA and USB.  At the Annual Conference on Network Application Technology held by CCID in Beijing in November 2004, our Model M62 received the Most Fashionable Cell Phone of 2004 award and our Model OS70 won the Best Potential of 2004 award.

While 3G technology is becoming the mainstream in the PRC, we anticipate developing our own 3G cellular phones based on Company R&D efforts as well as cooperative development efforts with our strategic industry partners.  We plan to develop products that will operate with the TD-SCDMA and WCDMA standards and have established a technology development team that includes members of our product planning division, project management division and industrial design center. Our product planning division is responsible for constructing our medium-term strategic plans and setting up schedules for our research and development projects. Our project management division administers our R&D efforts, oversees manufacturing and quality control of our products, and monitors costs, including human resources costs. Our industrial design center is responsible for evaluating design plans provided by the R&D Department or by third party industrial design companies, confirming model configurations and supervising module production and quality.

Additionally, we have continued to negotiate with several parties to prepare for the launch of 3G services in the PRC next year.  These parties include foreign 3G technology providers such as Spreadtrum Communication (Shanghai) Inc. (“SCI”), and several 3G chipset and solution providers.  Our strategic partners, such as SCI, develop 2.5G and 3G integrated circuits and provide 2.5G GPRS and 3G TD-SCDMA chipset and software development platforms and solutions.  The Company believes our negotiations with these 3G technology providers and our cooperation with other companies on future R&D projects will help facilitate our entry into the 3G wireless market.

We also have agreements to cooperate with professional design houses such as Shanghai Huntel Technology Limited and Tranzda Wireless, with whom we work mainly on the design of MMI (“U2”), software and hardware testing, China Type Approval (“CTA”) certification, acquisition and phone main board updating, and software adaptability testing.  We are also working with partners such as Dalian Daxian Telecom Co., Ltd. on matters related to industrial and mechanical design, including the layout of cellular phone main boards.  Whenever possible, we use and lease the instruments and equipment of other professional design houses rather than purchasing it ourselves. In the area of software compiling, testing, and updating, we utilize data cables and computers installed with professional software in a testing environment. All the computers and data cables are owned by Xelent.

In general, PRC cellphone manufacturers mainly conduct their research and development based on existing chip functions, a fact which is reflected in the forms of applications chosen and interface-level development. Both application-level and interface-level development are categorized as development of adaptability systems - only protocol stack and source procedure development is recognized as software development. Therefore, there is no exclusive right or limited use of any such systems for these manufacturers, including the Company.

Competition

The Company faces substantial competition from other wireless phone manufacturers such as Nokia, Samsung, and Motorola, who, together, controlled more than half of the PRC cellular market in 2009.  In addition, we face competition from the domestic cellular phone producers, such as Tianyu, Huawei, Lenovo and ZTE, who controlled 4.7%, 4.4%, 4.3% and 2.9%, respectively, of the cellular market in the PRC in 2009. (From Sino Market Research, March 2010.)

In addition to trying to increase inventory sales and turnover, the Company will continue to pursue its two-year growth strategy, which we believe will result in sound increases in profits and revenues.  We also want to launch our own 3G products as soon as possible in order to offer products that meet consumer demands before our competitors.  Because the 3G market is virtually wide open and other companies have not yet developed many 3G products, once we develop our own 3G phones, we anticipate being able to secure our share of the market.

Government Regulation

There are limited government regulations that have material effects or create restrictions on Xelent; neither are there judicial orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees, determinations or binding awards against Xelent.  One exception is that cellular manufacturers in the PRC are responsible for repair, replacement and return of cellular phone to customers within the warranty period in accordance with certain PRC rules and regulation.

The PRC’s cellular phone industry is one of the most advanced in the world.  It has a huge customer base and an established network of manufacturers, distributors, and service providers.  The PRC government does not promulgate policies that obstruct entry into the market or regulate it heavily.  We expect this relatively free market situation to continue and do not expect government policies to adversely impact the development of our industry.

Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights

Xelent has been approved to use “”as a registered trademark and the China Trademark Agency has distributed a “Notification of Acceptance” of the trademark with serial number ZC3878232SL. Xelent has also applied to use “Proxlink” as a trademark and the Company expects that Proxlink will become a registered trademark following the customary two year waiting period, as verified by the China Trademark Agency.

In accordance with the governing laws and regulations of the PRC, we utilize the intellectual property of our strategic partners pursuant to our contracts and agreements with these partners.

Employees

We have 26 employees. Of the 26 employees, 6 people serve in management related capacities. All employees are located  in nine departments: the Project Management Department employs 2 people, the Technology Support and Quality Control Department employs 3 people, the Business Management Department employs 3 people, the Planning and Finance Department employs 4 people, the Human Resources Department employs 2 people, the Financing and Investment Department employs 2 people, the Customer Service Department employs 5 people, the R&D Department employs 2 people, and the Marketing Development Department employs 3 people.

We believe the Company has a good relationship with our employees and there are no collective bargaining arrangements in place.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors.

You should carefully consider the following risks and the other information set forth elsewhere in this Current Report.  If any of these risks occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.  As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline, perhaps significantly.


Loss of significant or major customers could hurt our business by reducing our revenues and profitability.

Our success depends substantially upon retaining our major clients. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to retain long-term relationships or secure renewals of short-term relationships with our significant clients in the future.  For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, we had one major customer:  Beijing Xingwang Shidai Tech & Trading Co., Ltd., which was responsible for over 90.6% of our revenues. We have developed and enhanced our relationship and positioned ourselves for long-term cooperation with them by taking the following steps:

 
·
assisting the company in coordinating its sales channels and carriers;
 
 
·
ensuring that the company received high performance products at the specified prices; and
 
 
·
responding to feedback from the company’s customers regarding our products by adjusting our product lines to better suit their customers’ needs.
 
Competition from providers of similar products and services could materially adversely affect our revenues and financial condition.

The industry in which we compete is highly competitive, fragmented, and driven by consumer preferences for quickly-evolving technologies. Our competitors include both international brands like Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung, and domestic brands like Lenovo, Tianyu, Oppo, Changhong and Gionee, among others. We believe competitors in the cell phone industry compete on the following main factors: effective marketing and sales, brand recognition, product quality, product placement and availability, niche marketing and segmentation.  We expect competition to intensify in the future due to the increased number of competitors and other factors discussed below. Other companies, foreign and/or domestic, may also enter the PRC market with better products or services, greater financial and human resources and/or greater brand recognition than our Company. Competitors will also continue to improve and expand their current product lines and introduce new products to market.  We can make no assurances that we will be able to compete effectively or that we will have the resources needed for the technical innovation, business development, advertising and marketing that are necessary to compete effectively and build awareness of our brand. Staying competitive will require substantial human and capital resources from the Company.  We may also have to continue to rely on strategic partnerships for critical branding and relationship leverage; there is no guarantee these partnerships will prove sufficient. We cannot assure that the Company will have enough resources to make these investments or that we will be able to achieve the technological advances necessary to remain competitive.  Increased competition may result in price reductions, lower gross margins, and/or loss of market share.  Failure to compete successfully against current or future competitors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

We depend on key personnel for the success of our business. Our business may be severely disrupted if we lose the services of our key executives or employees or fail to add new senior and mid-level managers to our management team.
 
Our future success depends heavily on the continued service of our key executives. Our future success is also dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified senior and middle managers to our management team. If one or more of our current or future key executives or employees is unwilling or unable to continue in their present positions, it may be difficult to replace them, and our business may be severely disrupted. In addition, if any of our key executives or employees joins one of our competitors or forms a competing company, we could lose customers and/or suppliers and incur additional expenses to recruit and train replacement personnel.  Each of our executive officers has entered into an employment agreement with us.

 
5

 

We also rely on a number of key technology staff to operate our Company. Given the competitive nature of our industry, the risk of key technology staff leaving our Company is fairly high and could disrupt our operations.
 
We rely on a third party production center.
 
We use a third party production center to manufacture our products. Should we be required to use a different production center, our costs could be negatively affected.
 
The acquisition of a manufacturing facility is costly and such acquisition may not enhance our financial condition.

The process of identifying and consummating the acquisition of our own manufacturing facility could require substantial amounts of cash, which may require issuing new securities, thereby diluting the interests of existing stockholders.  Acquiring a manufacturing facility could also expose the Company to potential liabilities, some of which may not be disclosed by the seller.  In addition, even if we are successful in acquiring a manufacturing facility, there are no assurances that owning it will enhance our future financial condition.  And, to the extent that the business acquired does not remain competitive, some or all of the goodwill related to that acquisition could be charged against our future earnings, if any.

Any acquisitions we undertake could be difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value, and harm our operating results.

We plan to review opportunities to buy other businesses or technologies that would complement our current products, expand the breadth of our markets and sales channels, enhance our technical capabilities, or otherwise offer growth opportunities. If we make any future acquisitions, we may issue stock, thereby diluting existing stockholders’ percentage of ownership in the Company; incur substantial debt; or assume contingent liabilities.

Our experience in acquiring other businesses and technologies is limited. Potential acquisitions also involve numerous risks, including:

 
·
problems integrating the purchased operations, technologies, products, or services with our own;
 
 
·
unanticipated costs associated with the acquisition;
 
 
·
diversion of management’s attention from our core businesses;
 
 
·
adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers;
 
 
·
risks associated with entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience;
 
 
·
potential loss of key employees and customers of purchased organizations;
 
 
·
increased costs and efforts required for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and
 
 
·
risk of impairment charges related to potential write-downs of assets acquired in future acquisitions.
 
Our acquisition strategy entails reviewing and potentially reorganizing acquired business operations, corporate infrastructure and systems, and financial controls. Unforeseen expenses, difficulties, and delays frequently encountered in connection with rapid expansion through acquisitions could inhibit our growth and negatively impact our profitability. We may be unable to identify suitable acquisition candidates or to complete the acquisitions of candidates that we identify. In addition, we may encounter difficulties in integrating the operations of acquired businesses with our own operations or managing acquired businesses profitably without substantial costs, delays, or other operational or financial problems.

 
6

 

Rapid growth and a rapidly changing operating environment may strain our limited resources.
 
We will need to increase investment in our technological infrastructure, facilities, and other areas of operations, especially in the area of product development. If we are unable to manage our growth and expansion effectively, the quality of our products and services and, in turn, our customer support, could deteriorate and cause our business may suffer. Our future success will depend on, among other things, our ability to:
 
 
·
continue to develop technologies that attract PRC consumers;

 
·
continue to train, motivate, and retain our existing employees and attract and integrate new employees, including our senior managers, most of whom have been with the Company for less than three years;

 
·
develop and improve our operational, financial, accounting and other internal systems and controls, and

 
·
maintain adequate controls and procedures to ensure that our periodic public disclosures under applicable laws, including U.S. securities laws, are complete and accurate.

Unless we are able to take advantage of technological developments on a timely basis, we may experience a decline in a demand for our services or may be unable to implement our business strategy.
 
Our industry is experiencing rapid change as new technologies are developed that offer consumers an ever-expanding number of ways to meet their communications needs. In order to grow and remain competitive, we will need to adapt to future changes in technology, enhance our existing products, and introduce new products that address our customers’ changing demands. If we are unable to continue developing products that compare favorably to the products of our competitors in terms of technology either on a timely basis and/or at acceptable costs, we could lose customers to our competitors. Technological advances including the introduction of new products, new designs, or new manufacturing techniques could render our inventory obsolete or shift demand into areas in which we are not currently engaged. If we fail to adapt to these types of changing conditions in a timely and efficient manner, our revenues and profits would likely decline. To remain competitive, we must continue to incur significant expenses for product development, equipment, and facilities, and other capital investments. These costs may increase, resulting in greater fixed costs and operating expenses. As a result, we could be required to expend substantial funds for and commit significant resources to the following: research and development required to update existing and potential products; additional engineering and other technical personnel; advanced design, production and test equipment; manufacturing services that meet changing customer needs; and technological changes in manufacturing processes. Our future operating results will depend to a significant extent on our ability to continue to provide new products that compare favorably to those of our competitors in terms of time to market, cost, performance, design, and quality of manufacturing.  Should our production costs increase, failure to increase our net sales in a way sufficient to offset these cost increases would reduce our profitability.
 
Our research and development efforts may not lead to successful development of commercially viable or acceptable products, which could cause a decline in customer use of our products.

The markets in which we compete are characterized by:

 
·
rapidly changing technology;
 
 
·
evolving industry standards and transmission protocols;
 
 
·
frequent improvements in products and services; and
 
 
·
fierce competition from well-funded and technologically advanced companies.

To succeed, we must continually improve our current products and develop and introduce new or enhanced products that adequately address the requirements of our customers and are competitive in terms of functionality, performance, quality, and price. We are currently developing new 3G products, however, our research and development efforts may not lead to any new or enhanced products or generate sufficient market share to justify commercialization.  3G is a new and evolving technology and we may not be able to recoup our research and development costs and expenses or may not be able to serve our customers’ 3G needs, leading customers to purchase competitors’ products instead of our own.

Changes in industry standards and technologies, customer preferences and government regulation could limit our ability to sell our products.

The mobile phone market is characterized by changing consumer demands for cellular telephone functions and applications, rapid product obsolescence and price erosion, intense competition, evolving industry standards, and wide fluctuations in product supply and demand. These factors require us to continuously develop new products and enhance our existing products to stay competitive.  In order to encourage widespread market adoption of 2G, 2.5G, 2.75G and 3G technologies, efforts have been made to develop industry standards, and we have designed our products to comply with these standards. Changes in industry standards, or the development of new industry standards, may make our existing products obsolete or negate the cost advantages we believe we have in our products.

Our business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flows could be adversely affected by declining demand for our existing products; the introduction of products and technologies by our competitors that serve as replacements, substitutes, or improvements over our existing products; technological innovations or new standards that our existing products do not address; or an inability to release enhanced versions of our existing products on a timely basis. We have begun to offer products based on the 3G standard promoted by the PRC government, and are focusing a significant portion of our product design and sales and marketing efforts on products that comply with this standard.  We also are devoting significant resources to the development of solutions that will support either the 2.5G or 2.75G wireless standards. If the wireless standards for which we are developing products are not widely adopted by the market, we may not be able to sell these 2.5G and 2.75G-oriented products and our revenue could decline. Because it is not practicable to develop products that comply with all of the current standards and standards that may be adopted in the future, our ability to compete effectively will depend on our success at selecting the industry standards that will be widely adopted by the market and designing our products to support those standards. We may be required to devote significant expenses to redesigning our products in order to address relevant standards. We may not have the financial resources to fund future innovations. If our products do not meet relevant industry standards that are widely adopted for a significant period of time, our revenue would decline, adversely affecting our operating results, and future prospects.

If the PRC’s wireless communication sector does not maintain its current pace of growth, or the PRC government does not issue the Company a 3G license in the near future, the profitability and future prospects of our business and our liquidity could be materially and adversely affected.

Our future success depends on the continued growth of the PRC wireless communication industry. A slowdown in the development of the wireless communication industry in the PRC or reduction in our customers’ expenditures on mobile phone products and services may reduce market demand for our products and services. Alternatively, if the PRC government or other relevant regulatory authorities fail to allow construction of new wireless communication networks, or decide to terminate, delay or suspend construction or extension of new or existing wireless communication networks, the profitability and future prospects for our business could be materially and adversely affected.
 
The third generation wireless communication, or 3G, network deployment will require significant capital investment by PRC telecommunication operators, including investments in wireless coverage products and services, RF parts and components and wireless communication systems. Therefore, we believe that issuance of 3G licenses will in general have a positive impact on the growth of our business. Until we receive our 3G license from the PRC government, the expected return on our investments in 3G technology is uncertain. Continued delay in the issuance of 3G licenses will negatively impact our business growth and liquidity.

Our ability to generate revenues could suffer if the PRC market for cellular phones does not develop as anticipated.
 
The market for cellular phones in the PRC has evolved rapidly over the last four years with the introduction of new products, development of consumer preferences, market entry by new competitors, and adaptation of strategies by existing competitors. We expect each of these trends to continue, and we must continue to adapt our strategy to successfully compete in this market. It is extremely difficult to accurately predict consumer acceptance of and demand for both existing and potential technologies and services; neither can we know what the future size, composition, or growth of this market will be.
 
We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property, and we may be exposed to infringement claims by third parties.
 
We rely on the restrictions on disclosure contained in our business contracts to protect our intellectual property rights. Monitoring unauthorized use of our information services is difficult and costly, and we cannot be certain that the steps we take will effectively prevent misappropriation of our technology and content. In the future, our management may decide to apply for copyright, trademark or trade secret protection if management determines that such protection would be beneficial and cost-effective for the Company.
 
From time to time, we may have to resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources. In addition, third parties may initiate litigation against us for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights. In the event of a successful infringement claim and our failure or inability to develop non-infringing technology or content or to obtain a license for the infringed or similar technology or content on a timely basis, our business could suffer. Moreover, if this situation were to arise, even if we were able to license the infringed or similar technology or content, license fees we would have to pay to licensors could be substantial or even economically unfeasible.
 
Our products may be subject to counterfeiting and/or imitation, which could harm our business and our competitive position.

We cannot guarantee that counterfeiting or imitation of our products will not occur in the future or, if it does occur, that we will be able to detect it and deal with it effectively. Any counterfeiting or imitation could negatively impact our corporate and brand image. In addition, counterfeit or imitation products could result in a reduction in our market share, a loss in revenue, or an increase in our administrative expenses due to costs associated with detection or prosecution.

We have limited business insurance coverage.
 
The insurance industry in the PRC is still at an early stage of development.  Insurance companies in the PRC offer limited business insurance products, and do not, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations.  Therefore, any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster could result in substantial costs and diversion of Company resources.
 
Product defects or the failure of our products to meet specifications could cause us to lose customers and revenue or to incur unexpected expenses.

If our products do not meet our customers’ needs, our customer relationships may suffer. Also, our products may contain defects or fail to meet product specifications. Any failure or poor performance of our products could result in:

 
·
delayed market acceptance of our products;
 
 
·
delayed product shipments;
 
 
·
unexpected expenses and diversion of resources to replace defective products or identify and correct the source of errors;
 
 
·
damage to our reputation and our customer relationships;
 
 
·
delayed recognition of sales or reduced sales; and
 
 
9

 

 
·
product liability claims or other claims for damages that may be caused by any product defects or performance failures.
 
If the limited warranty provisions in our contracts are unenforceable in a particular jurisdiction or if we are exposed to product liability claims that are not covered by insurance, a claim could harm our business.

We may have difficulty collecting our accounts receivable.

During the normal course of business, we extend unsecured credit to our customers. Typical credit terms require payment to be made within 90 days of the invoice date. We do not require collateral from our customers.

We regularly evaluate and monitor the creditworthiness of each customer on a case-by-case basis. We include any account balances that are determined to be uncollectible in our allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the information available to management, the Company believes that no allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is required as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

We currently offer and intend to offer open account terms to certain of our customers, which may subject us to credit risks, particularly in the event that any receivables represent sales to a limited number of customers or are concentrated in particular geographic markets.  Collection of our accounts receivable and our ability to accelerate our collection cycle through the sale of accounts receivable is affected by several factors, including, but not limited to:

 
·
our credit granting policies,
 
 
·
contractual provisions,
 
 
·
our customers’ and our overall credit rating as determined by various credit rating agencies,
 
 
·
industry and economic conditions, and
 
 
·
our recent operating results and our and our customers’ financial position and cash flows.
 
Adverse changes in any of these factors, certain of which may not be wholly in our control, could create delays in collecting or an inability to collect our accounts receivable which could impair our cash flows and our financial position and cause a reduction in our results of operations.

Our financial results may be affected by mandated changes in accounting and financial reporting.

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles are subject to interpretation by the Securities and Exchange Commission and various bodies formed to interpret and create appropriate accounting policies. A change in these policies may have a significant effect on our reported results and may even retroactively affect previously reported transactions.

The cyclical nature of the aluminum industry causes variability in our production costs and cash flows.
 
Our costs of production depend on the market for primary aluminum, which is a highly cyclical commodity with prices that are affected by global supply and demand as well as other conditions. Historically, aluminum prices have been volatile and we expect such volatility to continue. These prices are driven, in part, by global demand for aluminum arising from favorable global economic conditions and strong demand in the PRC.

RISKS RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN THE PRC

There are substantial risks associated with doing business in the PRC; these risks are discussed below:

 
10

 

A downturn in the PRC economy may slow down our growth and profitability.

Growth of the PRC economy has been uneven across geographic regions and economic sectors. There can be no assurance that growth of the PRC economy will be steady or that an economic downturn will not have a negative effect on our business because of a decrease in expenditures for wireless services. More specifically, increased penetration of wireless services in the less economically developed central and western provinces of the PRC will depend on those provinces achieving certain income levels so that cellular phones and related services become affordable to a more significant portion of the population living in these areas.

Government regulation of the telecommunications industry may become more complex.
 
Government regulation of the telecommunications industry is highly complex.  New regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from efficiently delivering our services. These regulations may stop or slow down the expansion of our user base and limit access to our services.
 
Because we depend on governmental agencies for a portion of our revenue, our inability to win or renew government contracts could harm our operations and reduce our profits.

Our inability to win or renew PRC government contracts could harm our operations and reduce our profits. PRC government contracts are typically awarded through a regulated procurement process.  Some PRC government contracts are awarded to multiple competitors, causing increases in overall competition as well as pricing pressure. The competition and pricing pressure, may, in turn, require us to make sustained post-award efforts to reduce costs in order to realize revenues under these contracts. If we are not successful in reducing the costs we anticipate, our ability to profit on these contracts will be negatively impacted. An additional potential risk is that contracts with the PRC government can generally be terminated or modified at the government’s convenience.

We rely on sales to the PRC government and a significant decline in overall government expenditures or a delay in the payment of our invoices by the government could have a negative impact on our future operating results.

We believe that some of the success and growth of our business will continue to depend on our ability to win government contracts. Many of our government customers are subject to budgetary constraints and our continued performance under these contracts, or award of additional contracts from these agencies, could be jeopardized by spending reductions or budget cutbacks at these agencies. Our operating results may also be negatively impacted by other developments that affect these government programs generally, including the following:

 
·
adoption of new laws or regulations relating to government contracting or changes to existing laws or regulations;
 
 
·
delays or changes in the government appropriations process; and
 
 
·
delays in the payment of our invoices by government payment offices.
 
The uncertain legal environment in the PRC could limit the legal protections available to us.
 
The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes where, unlike in common law systems, legal cases have little value as precedents for future disputes. There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations governing our business, or the enforcement and performance of our arrangements with customers in the event of the imposition of statutory liens, death of the principal parties to contracts, bankruptcy or criminal proceedings. In the late 1970s, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters. The overall effect of legislation enacted over the past 20 years has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to enterprises in the PRC that are funded by foreign investors.  However, these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively recent are still evolving rapidly, meaning that their interpretation and enforcement involves a significant amount of uncertainty. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.  These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to foreign investors, such as the right of foreign invested enterprises to hold licenses and permits such as required business licenses.

Any recurrence of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, or another widespread public health problem, could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
 
A renewed outbreak of SARS or another widespread public health problem in the PRC, where all of our revenue is derived, and in Beijing where our operations are headquartered, could have a negative effect on our operations. Our operations may be impacted by a number of health-related factors, including the following:
 
 
·
quarantines or closures of some of our offices that would severely disrupt our operations,
 
 
·
the sickness or death of our key officers and employees, and
 
 
·
a general slowdown in the PRC economy.
 
Any of the foregoing events or other unforeseen consequences of public health problems could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
 
Changes in the PRC’s political and economic policies could harm our business.
 
The economy of PRC has historically been a planned economy subject to governmental plans and quotas and has, in certain aspects, been transitioning to a more market-oriented economy. Although we believe that the economic reform and the macroeconomic measures adopted by the PRC government have had a positive effect on the economic development of the PRC, we cannot predict the future direction of these economic reforms or the effects these measures may have on our business, financial position or results of operations. In addition, the PRC economy differs from the economies of most countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD. These differences include:
 
 
·
economic structure;
 
 
·
level of government involvement in the economy;
 
 
·
level of development;
 
 
·
level of capital reinvestment;
 
 
·
control of foreign exchange;
 
 
·
methods of allocating resources; and
 
 
·
balance of payments position.
 
As a result of these differences, our business may not develop in the same way or at the same rate as might be expected if the PRC economy was more similar to that of an OECD member country. As the PRC economy is transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy, the PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources by controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and imposing policies that impact particular industries or companies in different ways. While these measures may benefit the overall PRC economy, they may also have a negative effect on our business, especially if such measures create an unfriendly environment for businesses in the technology sector of the economy.
 
Inflation in the PRC may impair our ability to conduct business profitably in the PRC.
 
Recently, the PRC economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion. During the past ten years, the rate of inflation in the PRC has been as high as 5.8% and as low as -1.4% . These factors have led to the adoption by the PRC government, from time to time, of various corrective measures designed to limit inflation. High inflation in the future may cause the  PRC government to impose controls on credit or prices, or to take other actions which could inhibit economic activity in the PRC, and thereby harm the market for our products.

 
12

 
 
Likewise, negative inflation could have an unfavorable effect on our business profitability in the PRC. Negative inflation may cause a period where consumers are reluctant to spend, as consumers anticipate lower prices for products in the future. In the event of negative inflation, the  PRC government may impose controls on credit or prices, or take other actions which could inhibit economic activity, harming the market for our products.
 
Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our revenues effectively.
 
The majority of our revenues are recorded in Renminbi and U.S. dollars, and any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use revenue generated in Renminbi to fund any future business activities outside the PRC or to make dividends or other payments in U.S. dollars. Although the PRC government introduced regulations in 1996 to allow greater convertibility of the Renminbi for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain. For instance, foreign enterprises may only buy, sell or remit foreign currencies after providing valid commercial documents at banks in the PRC authorized to conduct foreign exchange business. In addition, conversion of Renminbi for capital account items, including direct investment and loans, is subject to governmental approval in the PRC, and companies are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items. The PRC regulatory authorities may impose more stringent restrictions on the convertibility of the Renminbi in the future.

We are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

We are required to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. In addition, we are required to maintain records that accurately and fairly represent our transactions and have an adequate system of internal accounting controls. Foreign companies, including some that may compete with us, are not subject to these prohibitions, and therefore may have a competitive advantage over us. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in the PRC, particularly in our industry since it deals with contracts from the PRC Government, and our executive officers and employees have not been subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prior to the completion of the Exchange Agreement (defined herein). If our competitors engage in these practices they may receive preferential treatment from personnel of some companies, giving our competitors an advantage in securing business or from government officials who might give them priority in obtaining new licenses, which would put us at a disadvantage. We can make no assurance that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

The market price for our common stock may be volatile.
 
The market price for our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following:
 
 
·
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly operating results,
 
 
·
announcements of new products and services by us or our competitors,
 
 
·
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts,
 
 
·
changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other companies providing similar products and services,
 
 
·
announcements by our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments,
 
 
·
additions or departures of key personnel,
 
 
13

 

 
·
potential litigation, or
 
 
·
conditions in the cellular phone market.
 
In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
Stockholders could experience substantial dilution.
 
We may issue additional shares of our capital stock to raise additional cash for working capital. If we issue additional shares of our capital stock, our stockholders will experience dilution in their respective percentage ownership in the Company.
 
We have no present intention to pay dividends.
 
We have never paid dividends or made other cash distributions on our common stock, and do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for working capital and to finance current operations and expansion of our business.
 
A large portion of our common stock is controlled by a small number of stockholders.
 
Of the total outstanding common stock, 20.56% is held by our executive officers and directors. As a result, these shareholders could control the outcome of stockholder votes on various matters, including the election of directors and extraordinary corporate transactions including business combinations. In addition, the occurrence of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock, or the perception that these sales could occur, may affect our stock price and could impair our ability to obtain capital through an offering of equity securities. Furthermore, the current ratios of ownership of our common stock reduce the public float and liquidity of our common stock which can in turn affect the market price of our common stock.

Item 3.
Legal Proceedings

We are party to certain litigation/arbitration related to amounts payable to suppliers for goods with which the Company was not satisfied as to quality and timing of delivery.  However, the amounts  in question are not substantial enough that such litigation/arbitration are material to the Company or would have a material adverse effect on our business.  Furthermore, we expect to be able to negotiate resolutions to these issues. Please refer to the detailed  description below about the pending legal proceedings.
 
Legal disputes with two suppliers arose from the unqualified accessories andmaterials supplied by Shenzhen Songding Industry Ltd., (“Songding”) and Beijing Baoxin Packing Materials Co., Ltd. (“Baoxin”). The management of Beijing Orsus Xelent Techonologies & Trading Co., Ltd. (“BOXT”) decided to cease the payment to Songding and Baoxin as a result of the unqualified accessories and materials.
 
The dispute between Baoxin and BOXT has been arbitrated by Beijing Arbitration Commission. The ending balance of account payable to Baoxin as of December 31, 2009 was approximately US$36,000. Currently BOXT and Baoxin are processing the final negotiation, as such, Baoxin applied for the property preservation to the court and, accordingly, one of BOXT’s bank account was blocked until the resolution of this dispute.
 
Final arbitration for the dispute between Songding and BOXT is pending. The liability in question was recorded as approximately US$54,000 at the end of December 31, 2009. Songding applied for the property preservation to the court and, accordingly, one of BOXT’s bank accounts was blocked until the resolution of the dispute.

Item 7.    Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations

Following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management. This report includes forward-looking statements. Generally, the words "believes," "anticipates," "may," "will," "should," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "continue," and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the matters set forth in this report or other reports or documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those projected. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and other financial information contained elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Overview

The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in May 2004 under the name “Universal Flirts Corp.” On June 1, 2004, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Universal Flirts, Inc., a New York corporation, from its sole shareholder, Darrel Lerner, in consideration for the issuance of 8,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Lerner pursuant to a stock exchange agreement between Universal Flirts Inc. and the Company. Pursuant to the stock exchange transaction, Universal Flirts Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Pursuant to a Stock Transfer Agreement dated March 29, 2005, the Company transferred all of the common stock of Universal Flirts, Inc. to Mr. Darrell Lerner in exchange for the cancellation of 28,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Immediately following the cancellation, the Company had 14,756,000 shares of its common stock outstanding.

On March 31, 2005, Universal Flirts Corp. completed a stock exchange transaction with the stockholders of United First International Limited (“UFIL”), a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong. The exchange was consummated under the laws of the State of Delaware and pursuant to the terms of the Securities Exchange Agreement dated as of March 31, 2005 (“Exchange Agreement”). In connection with its acquisition of UFIL, the Company authorized a 4-1 forward split of its common stock.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Universal Flirts Corp. issued 15,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value US$0.001 per share, to the stockholders of UFIL, representing approximately 50.41% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, in exchange for the 20,000,000 outstanding shares of UFIL and a cash payment of US$50,000 from UFIL. Immediately after giving effect to the exchange, the Company had 29,756,000 shares of its common stock outstanding. Pursuant to this exchange, UFIL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and most of the Company’s business operations are now conducted through UFIL’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Beijing Orsus Xelent Technology & Trading Company Limited (“Xelent”).

On April 19, 2005, the Company, formerly known as Universal Flirts Corp., changed its list name to Orsus Xelent Technologies, Inc.

In July, 2005, a wholly owned subsidiary of Orsus Xelent Trading (HK) Company Limited (“OXHK”), was incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong. This subsidiary is engaged in the trading of cellular phones and accessories with overseas customers. In September 2005, OXHK commenced its Hong Kong operations to sell and distribute our cellular phone products and technical support services to customers outside the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Please refer the following chart for the relationship between the Company’s subsidiaries :

The business operations of UFIL are conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Xelent, also known as “Orsus Cellular” within the cellular phone industry. Xelent sells its handsets and total solutions, including economically priced and fully-loaded cell phones for both Global System for Mobile communications (“GSM”) and Code Division Multiple Access (“CDMA”) platforms, to a diverse base of customers and dealers, such as ordinary users, tailored operators, and specialized users from all fields of business and government. Most of our mobile phone models are either designed by us for both our exclusive distribution and joint sales under established co-brands, or developed in conjunction with outside design firms. In February 2004, Xelent registered “ORSUS” with the PRC State Administration for Industry and Commerce as its product trademark.

Many of Xelent’s cellular phone products are equipped with industry cutting-edge features such as 1.8 to 2.8-inch CSTN, TFT or QVGA dual-color display; capacity to record videos lasting one minute up to four hours; 300K to 3 million pixel photography; MP3, MPEG4 and U disk support; dual stereo speakers; e-mail messaging; multimedia messaging; 40 to 64 ring tone storage; slim bar-phone and flip-phone technology; and innovative ultra-thin lightweight design.

Xelent has provided its handsets to many different types of consumers in the market for GSM mobiles devices. At present, the GSM mobile devices constitute a significant percentage of the sales and profit of the Company. In addition, Xelent has emphasized the development of specialized application mobile terminals in accordance with market changes and popular features. The Company has established itself in the specialized application field and made great efforts in its marketing since entering the field in September 2006. Based on its evaluation of the market and the engagement proposals received from its major customers, the Company began to produce GSM model X180 in large volumes starting in April 2007, thereby taking advantage of the opportunity to win establish a presence in the specialized application mobile terminal market.

In April 2007, the Company’s common shares were approved for listing on the American Stock Exchange and began trading on AMEX on May 10, 2007 under the ticker symbol “ORS”.  The Company's CUSIP Number is 68749U106.

Business Review

The global economic turmoil during 2008 impacted the cell phone industry. The industry achieved modest growth during the second half of 2009.  Market indicators show that total cellular phone sales in the PRC grew by 7% during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, a slight increase from the 5% growth rate during fiscal year 2008.

As for the Company, our sales volume reached 0.87 million cell phone units for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. We achieved annual sales revenues of US$77,392,000 during fiscal year 2009, representing a decrease of 28.23% compared with the US$107,827,000 in revenues earned during fiscal year 2008. The Company believes the decrease  in revenues is the result of the following factors:

1)
External Factors

n
The company’s CDMA products are not put into manufacturing. We note from industry data that CDMA products play the very important role in the revenue structure of the cellular phone industry, totalling around 17.5% of the total market size in fiscal year 2009 as compared to 3.7% in fiscal year 2008.

 
19

 

n
The TDS-CDMA projects are still in process, but management maintains high expectation for them.
n
The significant decrease of GSM market. The consuming volume of GSM cellular phones in 2008 was 157.7 million compared to 137.04 million in 2009. The total market volume decreased 15%.

2)
Internal Factors

The positive adjustment of sales policy from the management. The largest customer of the Company—XWSD maintains a significant accounts receivables ending balance. As a management concern, a new strategy has been turned from extending of the sales to reducing the balance of accounts receivables.

The Company believes there are two main influences on the current state of the cellular phone market in the PRC.  First, the reorganization of domestic telecommunication operators has created a lag in market demand.  In particular, the market demand for high-margin products during 2009 was much lower than expected.  Second, the major force driving current cell phone sales in the PRC is rural customers, a majority of whom tend to favor less expensive, lower-end products.

The Company is aware of the possibility that the market for cellular phones in the PRC will experience a moderate increase in the early part of 2010, but it still projects that the industry will be in a better position in 2010 because (a) the reorganization of PRC telecom carriers is projected to lead to market development, and (b) new 3G technology is also likely to encourage market demand.  With these projections in mind, the Company plans to employ the following three operating strategies going forward:

 
1.
Safeguard our traditional sales channels and explore the possibility of selling GSM cell phones in traditional markets.  The Company will use its ability to create telephone models that respond precisely to market opportunities to target customer needs.

 
2.
Launch our own 3G products while telecom carriers are promoting the commercial use of 3G in the second half  of 2010. Based on the strong relationships we have already built with the telecom carriers, we believe the Company will be able to achieve our market share in 3G area of telecom industry.

 
3.
Expand our industrial structure by consummating certain acquisitions using capital market funds in order to enhance our business foundation and long-term development.

In summary, the Company predicts it will obtain  healthy development based on the strengthening of its financial position in the coming fiscal year.

The following table summarizes our operating results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis and use them on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances as the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates because of different assumptions or conditions.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and the customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. 

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.

The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing that asset to its present working condition and location for its intended use.  Expenditures incurred after the assets have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, overhaul and minor renewals and betterments, are normally charged to operating expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the assets, the expenditure is capitalized.

When assets are sold or retired, their costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the consolidated financial statements and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is recognized in the year of disposition as an element of other income, net.

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment over their useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values, using the following methods:

Mould
Sum-of-the-units methods
Leasehold improvement
Straight-line method over the lease term
Machinery and equipment
Straight-line method over 5 years
Office equipment
Straight-line method over 5 years
Motor vehicles
Straight-line method over 5 years

Revenue recognition

Net sales represent the invoiced value of goods sold, net of value-added tax (“VAT”) and returns.  The Company generally recognizes product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.

Operating lease

The Company leases office premises under non-cancelable operating leases.  Payments made under operating leases are charged to the consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Research and development expenses

All cost of research and development activities are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was US$54,000 and US$429,000, respectively.

Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of FASB ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment - Overall, (FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets), long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and purchased intangible asset subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Advertising expenses

Advertising, which generally represents the cost of promotions to create or stimulate a positive image of the Company or a desire to buy the Company’s products and services, is expensed as incurred. The Company had no advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. 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 and tax loss and tax credit carryforwards. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740-10-25 clarifies the accounting for uncertain tax positions and requires that an entity recognizes in the consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as a component of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income.

 
22

 

Foreign currency translation

 The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC are measured using the Renminbi as the functional currency, while the Company’s reporting currency is the US dollar. Assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are translated at the prevailing exchange rate in effect at each period end. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange during the period. Translation adjustments are included in the cumulative translation adjustment account in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income.

Fair value measurements

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements.  ASC Subtopic 820-10 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC Subtopic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

ASC Subtopic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC Subtopic 820-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

·
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

·
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

·
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The Company did not have any nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur upon the exercise of outstanding warrants. Common share equivalents are excluded from the computation of the diluted earnings per share when their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Segment reporting

The Company has one operating segment, which is designing, manufacturing and distributing economically priced cellular phones for retail and wholesale distribution. Substantially all of the Company’s operations and customers are located in the PRC. Consequently, no geographic information is presented.

 
23

 

Contingencies
 
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations and tax matters.  An accrual for a loss contingency is recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Stock-based compensation

ASC 718-10 requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company records the cost as expense over the offering period and vesting term in connection with compensation expense for stock-based employee compensation plans.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
 
FASB Establishes Accounting Standards Codification
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-01, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (ASC Topic 105) which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“the Codification” or “ASC”) as the official single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP. All existing accounting standards are superseded. All other accounting guidance not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification also includes all relevant Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections within the Codification.
 
Following the Codification, the Board will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) which will serve to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to the Codification.
 
 The Codification is not intended to change GAAP, but it will change the way GAAP is organized and presented. The Codification is effective for our third-quarter 2009 financial statements and the principal impact on our financial statements is limited to disclosures as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification. In order to ease the transition to the Codification, we are providing the Codification cross-reference alongside the references to the standards issued and adopted prior to the adoption of the Codification.
 
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC) Subtopic 605-25

In September 2009, the FASB amended the FASB ASC Subtopic 605-25 which applies to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements.  FASB ASC Subtopic 605-25 requires an entity to allocate revenue in a multiple-deliverable
arrangement using vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), if it exists, otherwise third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”). If neither VSOE nor TPE exists, the entity shall use its best estimate of the selling price for the deliverables.  As a result, the use of the residual method is eliminated and, instead, an entity is required to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method.  FASB ASC Subtopic 605-25 also expands disclosure requirements with respect to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. FASB ASC Subtopic 605-25 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010.  Alternatively, an entity can elect to adopt the provisions of these issues on a retrospective basis. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of adopting FASB ASC Subtopic 605-25 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB concurrently issued the following ASC Updates (ASU):
 
ASU No. 2009-13—Revenue Recognition (ASC Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (formerly EITF Issue No. 08-1).  ASU No. 2009-13 modifies the revenue recognition guidance for arrangements that involve the delivery of multiple elements, such as product, software, services or support, to a customer at different times as part of a single revenue generating transaction.  This standard provides principles and application guidance to determine whether multiple deliverables exist, how the individual deliverables should be separated and how to allocate the revenue in the arrangement among those separate deliverables. The standard also expands the disclosure requirements for multiple deliverable revenue arrangements.

 
24

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued the following ASC Updates:

ASU No. 2010-01—Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash. This Update clarifies that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and Earnings Per Share). The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 with retrospective application.
 
ASU No. 2010-02—Consolidation (Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary. This Update amends ASC 810 subtopic 10 and related guidance to clarify that the scope of the decrease in ownership provisions of the Subtopic and related guidance applies to (i) a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business or nonprofit activity; (ii) a subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity that is transferred to an equity method investee or joint venture; and (iii) an exchange of a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for a non-controlling interest in an entity, but does not apply to: (i) sales of in substance real estate; and (ii) conveyances of petroleum and gas mineral rights. The amendments in this Update are effective beginning in the period that an entity adopts FAS 160 (now included in ASC 810 subtopic 10).
 
ASU No. 2010-05—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Escrowed Share Arrangements and the Presumption of Compensation. This Update simply codifies EITF Topic D-110, “Escrowed Share Arrangements and the Presumption of Compensation and does not change any existing accounting standards.
 
ASU No. 2010-06—Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This Update amends ASC 820 subtopic 10 that requires new disclosures about transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. This Update also amends ASC 820 subtopic 10 to clarify certain existing disclosures. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.
 
The Company expects that the adoption of the above updates issued in January 2010 will not have any significant impact on its financial position and results of operations.

Revenues were US$77,392,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, representing a decrease of 28.23% as compared to US$107,827,000 in revenues for the corresponding period last year. We have analyzed detailed reasons for the sales revenue decrease in Business Review Part.
 
At present, we have three product lines classified by their function, appearance, price and target market. Our mid-level and low-end products have popular features such as MP3, MPEG4, video recording and outer card storage; our higher-end products have the same features as well as PDA, GPS, Mobile TV, special industry applications and office software functions.

Products Segment
 
In order to offset the impact of reduced demand for customized cell-phones on our 2008 revenues, the Company took advantage of our long-standing ties to traditional mass market distribution channels and was able to increase sales of our GSM products. We also increased our trading activities in order to broaden our sources of revenue. The number of different models we offered in 2008 increased from the previous year; most of these models were new for 2008.

Cost of sales

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, our cost of sales was US$67,970,000, or 87.83% of revenues. The ratio of cost of sales to revenues increased by 1.3%, as compared to 86.53% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. The increase of the cost is due to the reducing of the profit margin in the industry.
  
Selling expenses

The Company’s major selling expenses are the salaries of sales personnel and the costs of marketing and transportation.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, the Company's selling expenses were US$350,000, or 0.45% of revenues – a decrease of 27.98% compared to analogous expenses of US$486,000, or 0.45% of the revenues, for the corresponding period in 2008. This decrease was caused by a reduction in personnel while changing our business model which, in turn, led to a decrease in monies needed for office expenses, transportation costs, salaries and social insurances.
  
In addition, the cost of after-sale maintenance services was shifted to our materials suppliers, and the cost of all after-sale services (other than employee salaries), were borne by our cooperative partners. This resulted in a significant reduction of our sales and marketing expenses.
 
Research and development (R&D) expenses

Our R&D expenses were US$54,000, or 0.07% of total revenue, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, which represented a 87.41% decrease over the US$429,000 (0.4% of total revenue) spent on R&D during 2008. The significant decrease was due to the Company’s focus on more traditional R&D initiatives and the fact that it did not launch full R&D projects for development of new products during the current year. This decision was considered prudent in light of the potential impact from the pending telecom Industrial reorganization in the PRC.

General and administrative expenses

The Company’s general and administrative expenses consisted primarily of compensation for personnel, depreciation, travel expenses, rental costs, materials expenses related to ordinary administration, and fees for professional services.

 
28

 

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s general and administrative expenses were US$831,000 or 1.07% of the total revenue, representing a decrease of US$1,320,000 or 61.37% when compared with US$2,151,000 or 1.99% of the total revenues for the corresponding period in 2008. The sharp decrease was primarily a result of structural adjustments, internal control and cost reduction.

At the same time, there was an expense related to issuing stock options during the year ended December 31, 2008, but there was no such expense in the year ended at December 31, 2009.
   
Gross Margin and Gross Margin percentage

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, our gross margin was US$9,422,000, reflecting a decrease of US$5,107,000, or 35.15%, compared to a US$14,529,000 gross margin for the same period of 2008. In addition, our gross margin percentage for the year ended December 31, 2009 was 12.17%, representing a decrease of 1.3% as compared to 13.47% for the same period of 2008.

The Company believes that the change in its gross margin percentage can be attributed to the significant decrease of sales volume in past year. We have analyzed details reasons for this change in Item 7—Business Review.

It should be noted that though our gross margin percentage was slowing down in 2009, it was still above 12%.  This fact reflects our relatively stable customer group and sales channels.

Other (expenses) income, net

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, other expense was US$2,911,000, representing a decrease of  US$5,696,000 compared with other income of US$2,785,000 for the same period of 2008. The significant decrease is due to liability accrued for the 0.3% penalty arose from purchasing contract (please refer to Note 16 of the financial statements),

 Net Income (Loss)

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, our net loss was US$6,368,000 and our net loss margin percentage was 8.23% which represents a decrease of US$17,664,000, or 156.37%, compared to the US$11,296,000 in net profit and corresponding net profit margin percentage of 10.48% earned during the same period of 2008.

The significant decrease for the net profit (loss) compared with the year ended December 31, 2008 arose from the significant bad debt provision with the amount of US$13,851,000 and the loss from write-off trade deposit with the amounts of US$11,937,000.
   
In 2010, after splitting the possible bad debt out the receivable accounts, the Company will strengthen the cash flow management and account receivables collection and continue its on-going monitoring to maintain a more solid and strong net profit level.
 
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCE OF CAPITAL
 
We generally finance our operations with internally-generated cash flow and short-term financing from domestic banks.

As of December 31, 2009, we had current assets of US$91,481,000. Current assets are mainly comprised of accounts receivable of US$81,130,000, trade deposits paid of US$5,875,000; cash and cash equivalents of US$374,000; pledged deposits of US$1,290,000; other current assets of US$29,000 and restricted cash of US$4,000.

As of December 31, 2009, our current liabilities were US$53,478,000, which included accounts payable of US$7,652,000; trade deposits received of US$1,884,000, short-term loans of US$9,390,000, accrued expenses and other accrued liabilities of US$3,413,000; taxes payable of US$27,293,000; and amounts due to directors of US$611,000 and liability for possible settlement to accounts payable of US$2,928,000.
 
29

 
The liability for possible settlement to accounts payable of US$2,911,000 arose from the provision of penalty for unpaid accounts payable to suppliers as of December 31, 2009. In the purchase contracts signed between suppliers and the Company since 2006, an agreed term between BOXT and the suppliers acknowledges that any outstanding payment which exceeds the agreed payment schedule, will be imposed on an additional 0.3% per day delayed payment penalty based on principle amount of contract liability. However, some of such purchase contracts were signed before 2006, according to  relevant PRC civil laws and regulations, if the creditors did not claim for the right in writing to the Company within two years since the date on which the liability was due, the periods of prescription will be expired after two years from the date on which the liability was due. We note that at the meanwhile, no any legal letters related to this part (0.3% penalty arising from outstanding payment.) liability were issued from our suppliers in past 4 years. However, from the point of prudence principle, we accrued this liability based on the terms of the contract. At December 31,2009, the accrued possible penalty provided based on such penalty term is US$2,911,000 and this liability has been recorded in the “Other Expenses” of statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009.

We offer two different trading terms to our customers: cash-on-delivery or credit terms of 45-120 days.  As of December 31, 2009, our accounts receivable had decreased by US$946,000 to US$81,130,000, as compared with US$82,076,000 on December 31, 2008. The decrease in accounts receivable was due mainly to the management of the company strengthening the payment collection policy. However, since the business expansion and development, the new receivables are recorded at the same time the old receivables were collected, and as such, the ending balance of account receivables maintains a high level and no significant decrease was noted.

We will continue to pay close attention to the liquidity of our distributors. As previously disclosed, in order to reduce the risk of default, we have limited the terms of credit offered to our major distributor in the Master Distributor Agreement and have asked a third-party surety company to guarantee the accounts receivable due from this distributor.  For additional information, please see the Company’s Current Report on its Form 8-K dated August 20, 2008. As of December 31, 2009, we had certain accounts receivable that had been outstanding for more than 120 days because adverse macro economic development conditions had caused comparatively longer collection terms to our sales channels as a whole. We decided it was in our best interest not to strictly enforce the terms of collection in order to maintain our current cooperation relationships, but we will modify the delivery schedule for future goods to these customers.

As of December 31, 2009, our trade deposits paid were US$5,875,000, which represented a decrease of US$2,566,000 as compared to US$8,441,000 in trade deposits paid as of December 31, 2008. The decrease was due to a deposit of approximately US$11,937,000 that was written off during the year ended December 31, 2009.

As of December 31, 2009, our “other current assets” were US$29,000, a decrease of US$1,830,000 as compared to US$1,859,000 in “other current assets” we had as of December 31, 2008. The “other current assets” are mainly composed of receivables to individuals. The ending balance of the year 2009 is not material compared with the year of 2008.

As of December 31, 2009, we had pledged deposits of US$1,290,000 was paid to Zhonghui, a guarantee company for the loan from Beijing Rural Commercial Bank. Changes in currency exchange rates caused the value of the pledged deposits to increase by US$3,000 over the course of the fiscal year.

As of December 31, 2009, our accounts payable were US$7,652,000, which represented a decrease of US$8,701,000, or 53.21%, as compared to US$16,353,000 in accounts payable as of December 31, 2008.  The main reason for this decease was that  the management encouraged the timely payment to the suppliers.

As of December 31, 2009, accrued expenses and liabilities were US$3,413,000, which represented an increase of US$1,535,000 or 81.74%%, as compared to the US$1,878,000 in accrued expenses and liabilities that the Company had as of December 31, 2008.  The increase was due to the accumulated accrued interests in the year 2009.

During fiscal year 2009 we made no allowance for warranty problems because, during this period, after-sale services for newly-launched products were undertaken by OEM factories, rather than the Company. Therefore, allowances were not made accordingly for these after-sale services.
 
 
30

 

As of December 31, 2009, our income taxes payable were US$5,870,000, which represented an increase of US$881,000 or 17.66%, as compared to our US$4,989,000 in taxes payable as of December 31, 2008.
 
As of December 31, 2009, our VAT taxes payable were US$21,423,000, which represented an increase of US$11,289,000 or 111%, as compared to our US$10,134,000 in taxes payable as of December 31, 2008.
 
As of December 31, 2009, cash and bank balances were mainly denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”). Our revenue and expenses, assets and liabilities are, for the most part, denominated in RMB and U.S. Dollars (“USD”). Our Company operations are mainly denominated in RMB. During the accounting period, RMB currency is quoted officially against USD currency according to a floating exchange rate. However, appreciation of the RMB against the USD did not create currency exchange risk for the Company because we had few USD in stock.
 
CASH FLOWS
 
As of December 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of US$374,000. This represents an increase of US$272,000, or 266.67%, compared with the US$102,000 in cash and cash equivalents we had as of December 31, 2008.
 
As of December 31, 2009, our short term loans aggregated to US$9,697,000, which includes US$2,516,000 from Huaxia Bank and US$6,874,000 from Beijing Rural Bank, and US$307,000 from a non-financial institution—Zhonghui Guarantee Co., Ltd.

Our gearing ratio, calculated as total debts over total assets, was 55.85%, as of December 31, 2009. It has increased slightly compared to 48.51% as of December 31, 2008.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
 
As of December 31, 2009, we had contingent liability issues.

Tax penalty

In accordance with the PRC’s tax regulations, BOXT’s sales are subject to a 17% of value added tax (“VAT”) upon the sales made to customers. BOXT follows the practice of reporting its revenue with VAT invoices issued to PRC tax authorities for VAT purposes. For the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were sales amounted to US$70,465,000 and US$57,111,000 respectively of which VAT invoices have not yet been issued.
 
The sales revenue of the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 is US$77,392,000 and US$107,827,000, respectively, representing US$13,157,000 and US$18,331,000 output VAT, respectively. At the meanwhile, the input VAT which the invoice has been received was US$1,899,000 and US$9,599,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Therefore, the net VAT payable is US$11,258,000 and US$8,732,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
According to PRC tax law, only the input VAT supported with sufficient invoice could be deducted from current period’s output VAT. For the purchasing without obtaining any invoices, the related input VAT is not allowed to be deducted.

As there is little tax payment made during the years, the accumulated VAT payable is US$21,423,000 and US$10,134,000 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Furthermore, BOXT reports its revenue for PRC Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) purposes when VAT invoices are issued rather than when goods are delivered. All unbilled revenue will become taxable when invoices are issued.
 
The above practice is not in strict compliance with the relevant PRC laws and regulations in respect of VAT and EIT.  Despite the fact that BOXT has made full provision on VAT and EIT including any estimated surcharge in the consolidated financial statements, BOXT may be subject to a penalty for the deferred reporting of the above tax obligations.  The exact amount of penalty cannot be estimated with any reasonable degree of certainty.  The board of directors considers it is not probable the penalty will be imposed. 
 
31

 
Financial guarantee contract
 
On June 20, 2007, BOXT entered into a guarantee contract for three years from June 20, 2007 to June 16, 2010 to serve as guarantor of a bank loan amounting to approximately US$17,550,000 (equivalent to RMB120,000,000) to an independent third-party, Chinacom Communications Co., Ltd. (“CECT”), from Beijing Rural Bank to provide CECT with capital for equipment purchases. Under the guarantee contract, BOXT shall perform all obligations of CECT under the loan contract including principal and interest, late interest payments, fines and other expenses incurred in the claiming process, if CECT fails to perform its obligations as set forth in the loan contract, including, but not limited to, ceasing production, going out of business, dissolving the business, having its business license withdrawn and filing for bankruptcy.
 
According to a March 20,2009 valuation report issued by an independent professional appraiser, the fair value of the undiscounted maximum potential amount of future payments as of December 31, 2008 that BOXT could be required to make under the guarantee contract was approximately US$470,000. The Company’s management assessed that the fair value of the undiscounted maximum potential amount of future payments as of December 31, 2009 did not materially differ from the same figure as of December 31, 2008. Management believes it is not probable BOXT will need to fulfill any obligation under this contract.
 
Litigation
 
There are two legal disputes with two suppliers of BOXT. Shenzhen Songding Industry Ltd., (“Songding”) provides battery chargers and Beijing Baoxin Packing Materials Co., Ltd. (“Baoxin”) provides packing materials to BOXT. The legal disputes with above mentioned suppliers arised because the Company did not accept accessories and materials supplied by Songding and Baoxin due to the quality issues. The management of BOXT determined to cease the payment to Songding and Baoxin accordingly. The dispute between Baoxin and BOXT started from the arbitration applied by Baoxin on October 2006 which has been arbitrated by Beijing Arbitration Commission on October 24, 2006. BOXT should pay Baoxin US$246,000. Currently BOXT and Baoxin are processing the final negotiation based on the arbitration result. As such, Baoxin applied for the property preservation to the court and one of BOXT’s bank account is blocked accordingly. BOXT has recorded the arbitration result as account payable to the supplier after the arbitration. The balance of account payable to Baoxin as of December 31, 2009 is US$36,000.
 
The dispute between Songding and BOXT started from the arbitraction applied by Songding on January 12, 2010 which is still pending for the final arbitration. The argument amount is US$281,000 by Songding. BOXT recorded account payable to the supplier with the amount of US$200,000 as of December 31, 2008. Since Songding applied for the property preservation to the court, one of BOXT’s bank accounts is blocked accordingly. The balance of account payable to Songding as of December 31, 2009 is US$54,000.

Warranty

During this year ended at December 31, 2009, we made no allowance for warranty for product problems because, during this period, post-sale services for newly-launched products were undertaken by OEM factories, rather than the Company. Therefore, allowances were not made accordingly for these post-sale services.
 
Overdue Bank Loan

The Company currently has an overdue loan of US$6,874 from Beijing Rural Commercial Bank at December 31, 2009. The Company is negotiating an extension of the term of the loan with the bank. The Company accrued US$234,000 in penalty interest from September 28, 2009 to December 31, 2009.
 
Payroll Payable

The Company has accrued the salaries and welfare to employees with the amount of US$659,000 but with little payment made in 2009 and 2008.
 
32

 
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of December 31, 2009, we had no off balance sheet arrangements.
 
CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS
   
We are obligated to make future payments under various contracts, which are mainly operating leases. The Company does not have any long-term debt or capital lease obligations. The operating lease amount is US$53,000 at the date of December 31, 2009.

Item 7A.          Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
Market risk is the sensitivity of income to changes in interest rates, foreign exchanges, commodity prices, equity prices and other market-driven rates or prices. The Company, in its normal course of business, is exposed to market risk through changes in interest rates with respect to bank loans. As of December 31, 2009, Company bank loans were US$9,390,000. The interest rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 was between 6.372% and 10.08% per annum.

Currency Risk

The Company considers RMB its functional currency since a substantial portion of the Company’s business activities are based in RMB. However, the Company has chosen the United States dollar as its reporting currency. Our sales and purchases are conducted within the PRC in RMB. Conversion of RMB into foreign currencies is regulated by the People’s Bank of China through a unified floating exchange rate system. Although the PRC government has stated its intention to support the value of the RMB, there can be no assurance that its rate of exchange will not again become volatile or that the RMB will not devalue significantly against the U.S. dollar. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect the value, in U.S. dollar terms, of our net assets and income derived from our operations in the PRC. In addition, the RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions.

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the period are translated into the functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange at the time of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than functional currency are translated into functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses are recorded in the combined statements of operations.

For translation of financial statements into the reporting currency, assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates, and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated at the weighted average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. When there are material adjustments under this process, they are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income under the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.

Country Risk
 
Our business, assets and operations are located and conducted in the PRC. While the PRC’s economy has experienced significant growth in the past twenty years, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall economy of the PRC, but may also have a negative effect on us. For example, our operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations applicable to us. If there are any changes in any policies by the PRC government and our business is negatively affected as a result, then our financial results, including our ability to generate revenues and profits, will also be negatively affected.

Item 9A(T).      Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and that, when appropriate, such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, in a manner sufficient to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues or instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the reality that judgment exercised in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or honest mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control system. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Under the supervision and participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009, the end of the annual period covered by this report. The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of the objectives of our disclosure controls and procedures; their design and implementation; and the effect of the controls and procedures on the information generated for use in this report. In the course of our evaluation, we sought to identify errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm that the appropriate corrective actions, including process improvements, were being undertaken.

Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively and at a reasonable level of assurance.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

(a) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act, Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on management’s evaluation under the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009.

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

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

During our fiscal year 2009, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.
 
General Philosophy
 
We currently compensate our senior management and key employees using a single method for computing base salary. However, a mixed compensation program of base salary, bonus and equity compensation is under consideration that will set general levels of compensation for all employees and help to create an environment with discernible goals, rewards and expectations. Because we believe the performance of every employee is important to our success, we are mindful of the effect of executive compensation and incentive programs on all of our employees.

At the most senior levels, compensation will reflect company-wide performance by tying awards primarily to earnings growth and stock appreciation. At lower levels, compensation will be tied to the achievement of specific operational goals within areas under the control of the relevant employees as well as company-wide performance.

The 2007 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) will assist the Company in attracting, retaining, and rewarding high-quality executives, employees, directors and other persons who provide services to the Company, enabling such persons to acquire or increase a proprietary interest in the Company, strengthening the mutuality of interests between such persons and the Company, and providing annual and long-term incentives for such persons expend maximum efforts in the creation of stockholder value. The Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee, such other committee as determined by the Board of Directors, or a subcommittee consisting solely of non-employee, outside directors. The Plan does not limit the availability of awards to any particular class or classes of Eligible Employees. Awards granted under the Plan are not transferable, except in the event of the participant's death. Under the Plan, 4,500,000 shares are currently reserved and available for delivery in connection with awards under the Plan.

Base Salaries
 
We want to provide our senior management with a level of assured cash compensation in the form of base salary that facilitates an appropriate lifestyle given their professional status and accomplishments. For our chief executive officer, we concluded that a base salary of between US$65,000 and US$75,000 was appropriate in this regard for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Similarly, we concluded that a base salary of between US$40,000 and US$50,000 was appropriate for our chief financial officer for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. These ranges were not objectively determined, but instead reflect levels that we concluded were appropriate based upon our general experience. We performed a similar analysis with respect to other senior management. We provide a competitive level of compensation for our senior vice presidents. We believe that this gives us the opportunity to attract and retain talented managerial employees both at the senior executive level and below.

Jian Gao resigned from his position as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors on March 27, 2009.

On March 27, 2008, the Board adopted a proposal to compensate Directors for their service to the Company. The compensation for all Directors was set at US$2,000 per month for service from February 7, 2007 to March 4, 2008, with each Director being paid in accordance with their term on the Board of Directors. For service from March 5, 2008 to December 31, 2008, the compensation for committee chairpersons was increased to US$2,500, but compensation for other Directors or committee members remained at US$2,000 per month. Any income tax owed by Directors in PRC on such compensation is deducted from the salary and paid to the tax authority by the Company, with any Directors outside of PRC arranging for the payment of any applicable income taxes. Previously, the Company did not pay compensation to its Directors. All Directors are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses in connection with attendance at Board of Director’s and/or committee meetings. The Company is in the process of evaluating whether to establish other compensation plans (e.g. options) in the future.

Related Party Transaction Policy

Other than the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, the Board does not have a specific written policy regarding the review of related party transactions. The Board does, however, follow certain procedures relating to the approval of transactions involving related parties. Related parties generally include executive officers and directors, stockholders owning more than 5% of the Company’s common stock or immediate family members of any such persons. A related party transaction will be approved only if it is disclosed to the Board and is approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board. Prior to approving any related party transaction, the members of the Board reviewing such transaction must (i) be satisfied that they received all material facts relating to the transaction, (ii) have considered all relevant facts and circumstances available to them and (iii) have determined that the transaction is in (or not inconsistent with) the best interests of the Company’s stockholders. No director that is an interested party in a transaction may participate in the discussion or approval of such transaction. Other than as disclosed below, during fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, based on written representations from the executive officers and directors of the Company, there were no related party transactions.

The following is a description of related party transactions involving more than US $120,000, since the beginning of our last fiscal year, between us and our directors, nominees, executive officers, stockholders owning more than 5% of the Company’s common stock or members of their immediate family:

The amount outstanding as of December 31, 2009 is $611,000.  The amount outstanding as of December 31, 2008 is $457,000. The amount of principal paid on these loans since January 1, 2008 is $0.

The Company has bank loans that were guaranteed by a Director, Mr. Yu Liu.  The amount outstanding as of December 31, 2009 is $9,390,000 compared with outstanding bank loan of $9,484,000 for the same period of 2008. The Company repaid a bank loan in February 2009 with the amount of $2,690,000 and got a new bank loan with the amount of $2,822,000. The interests rate of above bank loans arose from 6.372% to 10.08%. As of December 31, 2009, interest expenses incurred for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were US$911 and US$979, respectively.
    
Director Independence

Messrs. Naizhong Che, Peng Wang and Zhixiang Zhang are all non-employee Directors, and all of whom our Board of Directors has determined are independent pursuant to the AMEX Rules and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Orsus Xelent Technologies, Inc.
  
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Orsus Xelent Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended.  The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  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 purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008

(Dollars in thousands except share data and per share amounts)

1. ORGANIZATION

Orsus Xelent Technologies Inc. (“ORS” or the “Company”), formerly known as Universal Flirts Corp., was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 25, 2004.

Prior to reorganization with United First International Limited (“UFI”) on March 31, 2005, a company incorporated in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“HK”) of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), ORS was a development stage company which had no operations or revenues. ORS exited the development stage after the recapitalization.

Upon the completion of the reorganization, ORS assumed the business operations of UFI as primarily undertaken by its subsidiary, Beijing Orsus Xelent Technologies & Trading Co., Limited (“BOXT”) (English translation for identification purposes only), an enterprise incorporated in Beijing, PRC on November 10, 2004 which is engaged in the business of design, retail and wholesale distribution of cellular phones.

On July 14, 2005, Orsus Xelent Holdings (BVI) Limited (“OXHBVI”) was incorporated by ORS in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) with issued capital of US$2.00. OXHBVI is a wholly owned subsidiary of ORS; OXHBVI’s principal activity is investment holding. On July 22, 2005, Orsus Xelent Trading (HK) Company Limited (“OXTHK”) was incorporated by OXHBVI in HK with issued capital of HK$100.00 (equivalent to US$13.00); OXTHK is a company engaged in trading cellular phones and accessories, and is wholly owned by OXHBVI.

2. 
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company is principally engaged in the business of designing and distributing economically priced cellular phones for retail and wholesale distribution. We outsourced  manufacturing to third party factories. In February 2004, the Company registered “ORSUS” with the State Administration for Industry and Commerce in the PRC as its trademark, which is also known as “Orsus Cellular” within the industry. In January 2007, the trademark “PROXLINK” was registered for the Company’s specialized application mobile series.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation

 The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. The accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December31, 2009 and 2008 include ORS, UFI, BOXT, OXHBVI and OXTHK.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets  liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of fixed assets; the allowance for doubtful accounts; the fair value determination of financial and equity instruments, the realizability of deferred tax assets and inventories; the recoverability of goodwill, intangible assets, land use right and property, plants and equipment; and accruals for income tax uncertainties and other contingencies. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in those estimates and assumptions. 

 
F-7

 
 
Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and the customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. 

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.

The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing that asset to its present working condition and location for its intended use.  Expenditures incurred after the assets have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, overhaul and minor renewals and betterments, are normally charged to operating expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the assets, the expenditure is capitalized.

When assets are sold or retired, their costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the consolidated financial statements and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is recognized in the year of disposition as an element of other income, net.

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment over their useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values, using the following methods:

Mould
Sum-of-the-units methods
Leasehold improvement
Straight-line method over the lease term
Machinery and equipment
Straight-line method over 5 years
Office equipment
Straight-line method over 5 years
Motor vehicles
Straight-line method over 5 years

Revenue recognition

Net sales represent the invoiced value of goods sold, net of value-added tax (“VAT”) and returns.  The Company generally recognizes product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.

Operating lease

The Company leases office premises under non-cancelable operating leases.  Payments made under operating leases are charged to the consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Research and development expenses

All cost of research and development activities are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was US$54 and US$429, respectively.

Impairment of long-lived assets
 
In accordance with Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of FASB ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment - Overall, (FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets), long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and purchased intangible asset subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
 
Advertising expenses

Advertising, which generally represents the cost of promotions to create or stimulate a positive image of the Company or a desire to buy the Company’s products and services, is expensed as incurred. The Company had no advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. 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 and tax loss and tax credit carryforwards. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740-10-25 clarifies the accounting for uncertain tax positions and requires that an entity recognizes in the consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as a component of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income.

Foreign currency translation

 The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC are measured using the Renminbi as the functional currency, while the Company’s reporting currency is the US dollar. Assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are translated at the prevailing exchange rate in effect at each period end. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange during the period. Translation adjustments are included in the cumulative translation adjustment account in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income.

Fair value measurements

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements.  ASC Subtopic 820-10 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC Subtopic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

 
F-9

 

ASC Subtopic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC Subtopic 820-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

·
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
 
·
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
 
·
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
 
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The Company did not have any nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur upon the exercise of outstanding warrants. Common share equivalents are excluded from the computation of the diluted earnings per share when their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Segment reporting
 
The Company has one operating segment, which is designing, manufacturing and distributing economically priced cellular phones for retail and wholesale distribution. Substantially all of the Company’s operations and customers are located in the PRC. Consequently, no geographic information is presented.

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations and tax matters.  An accrual for a loss contingency is recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Stock-based compensation

ASC 718-10 requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company records the cost as expense over the offering period and vesting term in connection with compensation expense for stock-based employee compensation plans.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

FASB Establishes Accounting Standards Codification

In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-01, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (ASC Topic 105) which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“the Codification” or “ASC”) as the official single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP. All existing accounting standards are superseded. All other accounting guidance not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification also includes all relevant Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections within the Codification.

 
F-10

 

Following the Codification, the Board will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) which will serve to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to the Codification.

 The Codification is not intended to change GAAP, but it will change the way GAAP is organized and presented. The Codification is effective for our third-quarter 2009 financial statements and the principal impact on our financial statements is limited to disclosures as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification. In order to ease the transition to the Codification, we are providing the Codification cross-reference alongside the references to the standards issued and adopted prior to the adoption of the Codification.

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 605-25

In September 2009, the FASB amended the FASB ASC Subtopic 605-25 which applies to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements.  FASB ASC Subtopic 605-25 requires an entity to allocate revenue in a multiple-deliverable arrangement using vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), if it exists, otherwise third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”). If neither VSOE nor TPE exists, the entity shall use its best estimate of the selling price for the deliverables.  As a result, the use of the residual method is eliminated and, instead, an entity is required to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method.  FASB ASC Subtopic 605-25 also expands disclosure requirements with respect to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. FASB ASC Subtopic 605-25 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010.  Alternatively, an entity can elect to adopt the provisions of these issues on a retrospective basis. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of adopting FASB ASC Subtopic 605-25 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB concurrently issued the following ASC Updates (ASU):

ASU No. 2009-13—Revenue Recognition (ASC Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (formerly EITF Issue No. 08-1).  ASU No. 2009-13 modifies the revenue recognition guidance for arrangements that involve the delivery of multiple elements, such as product, software, services or support, to a customer at different times as part of a single revenue generating transaction.  This standard provides principles and application guidance to determine whether multiple deliverables exist, how the individual deliverables should be separated and how to allocate the revenue in the arrangement among those separate deliverables. The standard also expands the disclosure requirements for multiple deliverable revenue arrangements.

  In January 2010, the FASB issued the following ASC Updates:

ASU No. 2010-01—Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash. This Update clarifies that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and Earnings Per Share). The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 with retrospective application.

ASU No. 2010-02—Consolidation (Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary. This Update amends ASC 810 subtopic 10 and related guidance to clarify that the scope of the decrease in ownership provisions of the Subtopic and related guidance applies to (i) a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business or nonprofit activity; (ii) a subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity that is transferred to an equity method investee or joint venture; and (iii) an exchange of a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for a non-controlling interest in an entity, but does not apply to: (i) sales of in substance real estate; and (ii) conveyances of petroleum and gas mineral rights. The amendments in this Update are effective beginning in the period that an entity adopts FAS 160 (now included in ASC 810 subtopic 10).

ASU No. 2010-05—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Escrowed Share Arrangements and the Presumption of Compensation. This Update simply codifies EITF Topic D-110, “Escrowed Share Arrangements and the Presumption of Compensation and does not change any existing accounting standards.
 
 
F-11

 

ASU No. 2010-06—Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.  This Update amends ASC 820 subtopic 10 that requires new disclosures about transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. This Update also amends ASC 820 subtopic 10 to clarify certain existing disclosures. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.

The Company expects that the adoption of the above updates issued in January 2010 will not have any significant impact on its financial position and results of operations.

4.   Restricted Cash

There are two blocked bank accounts with restricted cash with the amount of US$4 which related to the legal disputes with two suppliers of  BOXT. Shenzhen Songding Industry Ltd., (“Songding”) provides the battery chargers and Beijing Baoxin Packing Materials Co., Ltd. (“Baoxin”) provides the packing materials to BOXT. Refer to Note 13, “Commitments And Contingencies ” for more discussion.

5.   ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Company’s business relies on a few distributors.The main component of US$81,130 of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2009, was mainly a balance of US$75,616 due from Beijing Xingwang Shidai Commerce Co., Ltd. (“Xingwang”). The reason for the large accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2009 is due to longer turnover days than before.  The main reasons for longer turnover days are: since the industry profit is decresed, the middle level distributors are removed and the national level distributor Xingwang  has to sell the products to direct customers (the retailers) which the turn-over rate of the retailers is always slower than middle level distributors.

However, the long aged account receivable to Xingwang is guaranteed by a third gurantee company, Zhong Hui Guarantee Corporation (“Zhonghui”). On December 25, 2008, Xingwang entered into an irrevocable Credit Guarantee Contract (the “Guarantee Contract”) with Zhong Hui Guarantee Corporation (“Zhonghui”), a third-party guarantee company licensed by the PRC government, and BOXT under which Zhonghui agreed to guarantee up to Renminbi (“RMB”) 300 million (equivalent to US$43,829), for the principal debt, fine, damages arising out of breach of contract, and costs incurred for realizing those legal rights including but not limited to legal proceeding fees, attorney fees and travel expenses arising out of the distributor agreement entered into by BOXT and Xingwang. The Guarantee Contract was effective as of December 25, 2008 and provides a guarantee for all of the accounts receivable that are or may become outstanding from Xingwang to BOXT from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. At December 31 2009, the guarantee contract has  expired.

(a) 
Operating lease commitments

As of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had non-cancelable operating leases for its office premises, under which the expected rental payment due within the next year was US$53 and US$53, respectively.

(b) 
Contingencies

Tax penalty

In accordance with the PRC’s tax regulations, BOXT’s sales are subject to a 17% of value added tax (“VAT”) upon the sales made to customers. BOXT follows the practice of reporting its revenue with VAT invoices issued to PRC tax authorities for VAT purposes.  For the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were sales amounted to US$70,465 and US$57,111  respectively of which VAT invoices have not yet been issued.

The sales revenue of the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 is US$77,392 and US$107,827, respectively, representing  US$13,157 and US$18,331 output VAT, respectively. At the meanwhile, the input VAT which the invoice has been received was US$1,899 and US$9,599 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Therefore, the net VAT payable is US$11,258 and  US$8,732 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

 
F-14

 
 
According to PRC tax law, only the input VAT supported with sufficient invoice could be deducted from current period’s output VAT. For the purchasing without obtaining any invoices, the related input VAT is not allowed to be deducted.

As there is little tax payment made during the years, the accumulated VAT payable is US$21,423 and US$10,134 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Furthermore, BOXT reports its revenue for PRC Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) purposes when VAT invoices are issued rather than when goods are delivered. All unbilled revenue will become taxable when invoices are issued.

The above practice is not in strict compliance with the relevant PRC laws and regulations in respect of VAT and EIT.  Despite the fact that BOXT has made full provision on VAT and EIT including any estimated surcharge in the consolidated financial statements, BOXT may be subject to a penalty for the deferred reporting of the above tax obligations.  The exact amount of penalty cannot be estimated with any reasonable degree of certainty.  The board of directors considers it is not probable the penalty will be imposed.
 
Financial guarantee contract

On June 20, 2007, BOXT entered into a guarantee contract for three years from June 20, 2007 to June 16, 2010 to serve as guarantor of a bank loan amounting to approximately US$17,550 (equivalent to RMB120,000) to an independent third-party, Chinacom Communications Co., Ltd. (“CECT”), from Beijing Rural Bank to provide CECT with capital for equipment purchases. Under the guarantee contract, BOXT shall perform all obligations of CECT under the loan contract including principal and interest, late interest payments, fines and other expenses incurred in the claiming process, if CECT fails to perform its obligations as set forth in the loan contract, including, but not limited to, ceasing production, going out of business, dissolving the business, having its business license withdrawn and filing for bankruptcy.

According to a March 20,2009 valuation report  issued by an independent professional appraiser, the fair value of the undiscounted maximum potential amount of future payments as of December 31, 2008 that BOXT could be required to make under the guarantee contract was approximately US$470. The Company’s management assessed that the fair value of the undiscounted maximum potential amount of future payments as of December 31, 2009  did not materially differ from the same figure as of December 31, 2008. Management believes it is not probable BOXT will need to fulfill any obligation under this contract.

Litigation
 
There are two legal disputes with two suppliers of BOXT. Shenzhen Songding Industry Ltd., (“Songding”) provides battery chargers and Beijing Baoxin Packing Materials Co., Ltd. (“Baoxin”) provides packing materials to BOXT. The legal disputes with above mentioned suppliers arised because the Company did not accept accessories and materials supplied by Songding and Baoxin due to the quality issues. The management of BOXT determined to cease the payment to Songding and Baoxin accordingly.
  
The dispute between Baoxin and BOXT started from the arbitration applied by Baoxin on October 2006 which has been arbitrated by Beijing Arbitration Commission on October 24, 2006. BOXT should pay Baoxin US$246. Currently BOXT and Baoxin are processing the final negotiation based on the arbitration result. As such, Baoxin applied for the property preservation to the court and one of BOXT’s bank account is blocked accordingly. BOXT has recorded the arbitration result as account payable to the supplier after the arbitration. The balance of account payable to Baoxin as of December 31, 2009 is US$36.
 
The dispute between Songding and BOXT is still pending for the final arbitration. The argument amount is US$281 by Songding. BOXT recorded account payable to the supplier with the amount of US$200 as of December 31, 2008. Songding has prepared the arbitration application at the end of 2009 (December 28, 2009) and asked the property preservation to the bank to block the bank account of BOXT at the meanwhile. And the application was accepted by arbitration commission formally at January 2010. Since Songding applied for the property preservation to the court, one of BOXT’s bank accounts is blocked accordingly. The balance of account payable to Songding as of December 31, 2009 is US$54.

Warranty

During this year ended at December 31, 2009, we made no allowance for warranty for product problems because, during this period, post-sale services for newly-launched products were undertaken by OEM factories, rather than the Company. Therefore, allowances were not made accordingly for these post-sale services.

Overdue Bank Loan

The Company currently has an overdue loan of US$6,874 from Beijing Rural Commercial Bank at December 31, 2009. The Company is negotiating an extension of the term of the loan with the bank.  The Company accrued US$234 in penalty interest from September 28, 2009 to December 31, 2009.

Payroll Payable

The Company has accrued the salaries and welfare to employees with the amount of US$659 but with little payment made  in 2009 and 2008.
 
14. UNAPPROPRIATED RETAINED EARNINGS

The Company’s subsidiary, BOXT, was required to allocate at least 10% of its after tax profits as determined under GAAP in the PRC to a statutory dedicated reserve until the reserve balance reaches 50% of its registered capital. For the year ended December 31, 2009, BOXT since the Company has an operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The accumulated balance of the unappropriated retained earnings at BOXT as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were US$1,042 and US$1,042, respectively.
 
15. STOCK OPTIONS

On March 27, 2008, a stock option plan named the “2007 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan” (the “Plan”) was approved by the board of directors. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term performance goals and general prosperity of the Company. The Plan, which provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock and cash awards, is designed to help the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates attract and retain senior officers for positions of substantial responsibility and to provide non-employee directors and key employees with additional motivation and an incentive to improve the business results and contribute to the success of the Company.

On April 2, 2008, stock options to a subscribed total of 614,000 shares were granted to certain directors, senior officers and other key employees of the Company at an exercise price of US$2.26 per share. The options granted are exercisable from July 2, 2008. The expiration date of the options is April 2, 2018.

In accordance with the terms of the share-based payment arrangement, the aforementioned options were vested at the date of grant. According to a valuation report, dated August 1, 2008, issued by an independent professional appraiser, the fair value of these options was US$725, which was estimated on the date of grant using the Binomial Lattice option pricing model. Where relevant, the expected life used in the model has been adjusted based on management’s best estimate for the effects of transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioral consideration. Compensation expense of US$725 is charged to income as the benefit was fully vested at the date of grant. Key assumptions included in the estimation are as follows:

16. LIABILITIES FOR POSSIBLE SETTLEMENT FOR ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

Liabilities for possible settlement for accounts payable of US$2,911 for the year ended December 31, 2009 is arising from the provision of penalty for unpaid accounts payable to suppliers at December 31 2009. In the purchase contracts signed between suppliers and the Company since 2006, an agreed term between BOXT and the suppliers acknowledges that any outstanding payment which exceeds the agreed payment schedule, will be imposed on an additional 0.3% per day delayed payment penalty based on principle amount of contract liability. However, some of such purchase contracts were signed before 2006, according to  relevant PRC civil laws and regulations, if the creditors did not claim for the right in writing to the Company within two years since the date on which the liability was due, the periods of prescription will be expired after two years from the date on which the liability was due. We noted that at the meanwhile, no any legal letters related to this part (0.3% penalty arising from the outstanding payment.) liability were issued from our suppliers in past 4 years. Howevr, from the point of prudence principle, we accrued this liability based on the terms of the contract. At December 31,2009, the Company accrued possible penalty for the purchase contracts signed after December 31, 2007 based on such penalty term with amount of US$2,911.

17. PENSION COSTS

As stipulated by the PRC regulations, the Company maintains a defined contribution retirement plan for all of its employees who are residents of the PRC.  All retired PRC employees of the Company are entitled to an annual pension equivalent to their basic annual salary upon retirement.  The Company contributed to a state sponsored retirement plan approximately 20% of the basic salary of its PRC employees and has no further obligations for the actual pension payments or post-retirement benefits beyond the annual contributions.  The state sponsored retirement plan is responsible for the entire pension obligation payable to all employees.

The pension accrued for the year ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are US$64 and US$ 42 respectively;
 
The pension paid for the year ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are US$3 and US$42 respectively;

F-18


The PRC tax rate has been used because the majority of the Company’s consolidated pre-tax earnings arise in the PRC.

The Company had deferred tax assets of approximately $0 and $4,093 as of December 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively that consisted of tax loss carryforwards. The Company had no other temporary differences as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

As of January 1, 2008 and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, the Company and its subsidiaries did not have unrecognized tax benefits, and therefore no interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were accrued. It does not expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next 12 months.

The Company and its subsidiaries mainly file income tax returns in the United States and PRC. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examination by tax authorities for tax years beginning in 2008.  According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer or the withholding agent. The statute of limitations is extended to five years under special circumstances where the underpayment of taxes is more than RMB100 (US$15). In the case of transfer pricing issues, the statute of limitation is ten years. There is no statute of limitation in the case of tax evasion. The PRC tax returns for the Company’s PRC subsidiary are open to examination by the PRC state and local tax authorities for the tax years beginning in 2008.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had 614,000 outstanding options that could potentially dilute basic income per share in the future, which were excluded in the computation of diluted income per share in the periods presented, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive since the exercise price of these options was higher than average market price during the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
20. CONCENTRATIONS AND CREDIT RISKS

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had a credit risk exposure of uninsured cash in banks of approximately US $374,and US$102 respectively.  To limit exposure to credit risk relating to deposits, the Company primarily places cash deposits only with large financial institutions in the PRC with acceptable credit ratings.

During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company was engaged principally in the design and trading of cellular phones to two primary distributors in the PRC.  The Company’s policy is that the sole agent arrangement gives the dealers more incentive to promote the Company’s products and reduce the Company’s exposure to the distribution market.

 
F-19

 

The Company buys certain major materials from one major supplier (over 40% purchasing). In addition, the Company subcontracts material purchasing and assembly works of cellular phones primarily to five subcontracting factories. The diversification of suppliers will reduce the risk of increasing production cost.
 
 
(a)
During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s operating revenue was mainly derived from two distributors. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, 90.6% and 87%, respectively, of total revenue was derived from our largest distributor Xingwang. There was no trade deposit received from Xingwang as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. Accounts receivable from Xingwang were US$75,616 and US$77,695 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As mentioned in note 4, “Accounts Receivable”, in year 2008, a guarantee company provided a guarantee up to US$43,875 (RMB300 million) for the accounts receivable from Xingwang for two years from the date they are due.  The agreement has been renewed and re-signed at January 20, 2010, the guaranteed period was extended to the year ended December 31, 2010.
