3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Currency - Foreign currency transactions and financial statements are translated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52,Foreign Currency Translation. The functional currency for the Company’s foreign operations is the People’s Republic of China Renminbi. The translation of Renminbi (RMB) into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using the exchange rate during the period. For 2003 there was no foreign currency translation adjustment, as the exchange rate was unchanged.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.
Inventories - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method, generally over five years.
F-6
Product Warranties - The Company provides customers with a warranty from the date of purchase. Estimated warranty obligations are recorded based on historical claims experience.
Income Taxes - Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.
Revenue Recognition – Revenues are recognized only when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. In general, the Company recognizes revenue on product sales after all of the following has been completed: shipment of the equipment, the successful installation of the equipment, and customer acceptance. The Company recognizes revenue on service sales upon completion and acceptance of the service. The Company revenue recognition policies are compliant with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate their fair value due to the short term nature of the instruments.
Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Advertising Expense – The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses for 2003 were immaterial.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are expensed to cost of revenues for material purchases; and cost of sales or selling expenses for delivery for finished products. During the year ended December 31, 2003 shipping and handling costs were immaterial.
Segment Reporting
The Company accounts for its segments pursuant to SFAS No. 131 “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” Operating segments, as defined in SFAS No. 131, are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the Company in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The financial information is required to be reported on the basis that it is used internally for evaluating the segment performance. The Company believes it operates in only one segment.

New Accounting Standards –
In November 2002, EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables . EITF 00-21 provides guidance for determining whether an arrangement involving multiple elements contains more than one unit of accounting. EITF 00-21 does not, however, apply to elements that are subject to other accounting literature that provides guidance on whether and/or how to separate multiple-deliverable arrangements and how to allocate value among those separate units of accounting, including software licensing arrangements and related services agreements subject to SOP 97-2. The provisions of EITF 00-21 apply to revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of EITF 00-21 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, or FIN 46, which is an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements . FIN 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities and requires existing unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse risks among parties involved. Variable interest entities that effectively disperse risks are not to be consolidated unless a single party holds an interest or combination of interests that effectively recombines risks that were previously dispersed. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period ending after December 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 as it relates to variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In May 2003 the FASB issued FAS No.150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. FAS No.150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. FAS No.150 applies specifically to a number of financial instruments that companies have historically presented within their financial statements either as equity or between the liabilities section and the equity section, rather than as liabilities. FAS No.150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of FAS No.150 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In August 2003, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue 03-05, “Applicability of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Non-Software Deliverables in an Arrangement Containing More-Than-Incidental Software.” EITF 03-05 addresses the applicability of SOP 97-2 to non-software deliverables in an arrangement containing more-than-incidental software. In an arrangement that includes software that is more than incidental to the products or services as a whole, software and software-related elements are included within the scope of SOP 97-2. Software-related elements include software products and services, as well as any non-software deliverables for which a software deliverable is essential to its functionality. The adoption of EITF 03-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial results.

4. | MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK |
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash, trade accounts receivable, and notes receivable. The Company maintains its cash balances with established financial institutions and has not experienced losses. The Company’s products are sold principally to Alcatel Shanghai Bell Co., Ltd, a related party, and regional China telecommunications providers, some privately owned, some owned by the government. Notes receivable are due within a year. The Company’s credit risk is limited principally to trade accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. No additional risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is believed inherent in the Company’s trade accounts receivable.

At December 31, 2003, the Company had outstanding commitments for inventory purchases under open purchase orders of approximately $1,556,000.
The Company is involved in various matters of litigation, claims, and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the eventual disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial statements.
13. | ESTIMATED PAYABLES |
As of December 31, 2003, the Company has $1,605,000 in estimated payables that are over one year outstanding, of which $748,000 are due to a related party. These payables are included in accounts payable on the balance sheet. These payables primarily represent inventory purchased from vendors where the vendors have not yet presented the Company with an invoice. Therefore, the Company has estimated the amount due for the inventory purchased. These payables will not be paid until an invoice is received. Management believes that these payables represent current liabilities of the Company that will be paid upon receipt of the invoices.

Currency - Foreign currency transactions and financial statements are translated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52,Foreign Currency Translation. The functional currency for the Company’s foreign operations is the People’s Republic of China Renminbi. The translation of Renminbi (RMB) into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using the exchange rate during the period. For 2003 and 2004 there was no foreign currency translation adjustment, as the exchange rate was unchanged.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.
Inventories - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method, generally over five years.
Product Warranties - The Company provides customers with a warranty from the date of purchase. Estimated warranty obligations are recorded based on historical claims experience.
Income Taxes - Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.
Revenue Recognition – Revenues are recognized only when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. In general, the Company recognizes revenue on product sales after all of the following has been completed: shipment of the equipment, the successful installation of the equipment, and customer acceptance.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate their fair value due to the short term nature of the instruments.
Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
