PART I
Item 1. Business.
Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this Annual Report to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” are to the combined business of Orsus Xelent Technologies, Inc. and its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Beijing Orsus Xelent Technology & Trading Company Limited (“Xelent”).
Introduction
On March 31, 2005, we completed a stock exchange transaction (the “Exchange Transaction”) with the stockholders of United First International Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong (“UFIL”). 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 (the “Exchange Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we issued shares of our common stock to the stockholders of UFIL, in exchange for 100% of the outstanding capital stock of UFIL. Pursuant to the Exchange Transaction, UFIL became our wholly owned subsidiary. We carry on our business through UFIL’s wholly owned subsidiary, Xelent.
Description of Business
We, through the operations of Xelent, have been engaged since May 2003 in the business of designing for retail and wholesale distribution economically priced cellular phones. In February of 2004, Xelent registered "ORSUS" with the State Administration for Industry and Commerce in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) as its product trademark, also known as “Orsus Cellular” within the industry. Xelent has sold approximately 500,000 cellular phones in the PRC in 2006.
The market in the PRC for cellular phones has continued to expand and we have taken advantage of that expansion by gradually introducing more mature 2.5G wireless products to the public in the PRC. As the 3G standards become more mature, we anticipate that we will seek to produce our own 3G products based on both our own research and development efforts and cooperation with our strategic partners in the industry.
Organizational Structure
The organizational structure of the company is linear in nature and is comprised of ten separate departments developed to ensure proper project management and control. These departments are as follows:
· | 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 the project schedules. |
· | Technology Support and Quality Control Department, which is responsible for technical support for software and hardware design and testing and industrial design and mechanical design (“ID/IM”) checking and auditing, as well as tooling engineering and quality control during mass production; |
· | Business Management Department, which is responsible for materials purchase, supply chain management, business coordination and to sign the business agreements, contracts and other kinds of documents for the business partners; |
· | Planning and Finance Department, which is responsible for overall accounting matters, including accounting methods and processes, auditing, compiling financial plans and monthly/quarterly/yearly financial statements and financial budgets, and control of expenses; |
· | Human Resources Department, which is responsible for our employment issues, including hiring and termination of staff; |
· | Financing and Investment Department, which is responsible for overall accounting matters, financing and investment research and analysis. |
· | Customer Service Department, which is responsible for maintenance, spare parts ordering, authorized network management, refurbishing, after-sale data analysis and service charge fees return, , as well as a hotline service center and customer service training center, technical support and after-sale service quality assurance systems of the Company; and |
· | R&D Department that is responsible for researching new models of mobile phones and developing new technologies; |
· | Marketing Development Department, which is responsible for help the Company to find new business partners, which will act as the countryside distributors, provincial dealers and some overseas wholesalers. The department also helps the long-term partners and new incomers to set up the marketing concepts and business models of Orsus Cellular. |
· | Logistics Department, collect phones from each maintenance station nationwide and send the repaired phones to customers |
Our headquarters in Beijing have seven regional management centers and a technical support center. We also have an unaffiliated network of service providers, including 179 cellular phone service centers located throughout the PRC. Of these providers, 42 are provincial replacement and refurbishment centers and 137 are maintenance and repair centers.
Market Overview and Strategic Partners
According to a research conducted by the PRC Ministry of Information Industry, new cellular phone users in the PRC increased by 68 million in 2006, with total consumers reaching 460 million during that year. Currently, the PRC has the largest number of cellular phone users in the world. The penetration rate for cellular phones in the PRC was approximately 35% in 2006. The number of cellular phone users is expected to reach 500 million by the year-end 2007. The cellular phone market in the PRC is expected to reach $120 billion by the year end of 2006 according to the PRC Ministry of Information Industry.
On February 26, 2006, the TD-SCDMA technology standard was officially announced as the 3G (Third Generation) technology standard in the PRC. However, sales of products incorporating the 3G has not developed as rapidly as generally anticipated (it was that 3G network construction and issuance of 3G licenses would be approved by the end of 2006). Although the granting of 3G licenses has been delayed until the middle of 2007, once introduction to the market of products utilizing the 3G technology is commenced, Xelent should be in a good position to take advantage of this business opportunity. We have commenced the development of our owned 3G cellular phone products, including 3G PCBA (3G technologies platform) and cellular phones with 3G PCBA, based on our existing 2G and 2.5G cellular technologies and cooperation with our 3G solution and chips providers. Additionally, we are planning to join into the TD-SCDMA Industry League, and we are working toward the granting of 3G cellular phones manufacturing licenses from the PRC government in 2007.
Our cellular products are customarily equipped with leading features including 1.8-inch to 2.2-inch CSTN or TFT dual-color displays, one to 120 minutes video recording, 300K to 3 million pixels photography, MP3, MPEG4 and U disk support, dual stereo speakers, e-mail messaging multimedia messaging, 40 to 64 polyphonic ring tones, slim bar-phone and flip-phone technology, ultra thin innovative lightweight design with handwriting and PDA functions, all at low to moderate price points.
Our relationships with our strategic partners, CEC Cellular Limited (“CECM”), Beijing Xingwang Shidai Tech & Trading Co., Ltd. (“XWSD”) and CECT-Chinacomm Communications Co., Ltd. (“ZDHT”) have help us to increase our market penetration. CECM, which is controlled by China Electronics Corporation Group, is a manufacturer of cellular phones with annual production of approximately one million units. CECM serves as a manufacturer for our cellular phone products. In addition, CECM has its own sales network, and we sell some of our products to CECM, who in turn sells those products to its own provincial and national sales distributors and dealers, thus increasing the distribution capabilities for our products. XWSD is also one of our major agents, selling our cellular phones to provincial distributors, city distributors and dealers. XWSD employ several market promotion services companies to enhance the sales networks of our products throughout the PRC. ZDHT is a new customer which began to cooperate with us from the fourth quarter of 2006 and is a provider and operator of telecommunication devices and services.

We outsource the manufacturer of our products to unaffiliated third parties. Once our products have been manufactured, they are delivered to a network of unaffiliated national sales distributors (see “Description of Current Business - Market Overview and Strategic Partners”) and dealers that, in turn, distribute the products to provincial sales distributors and dealers and these provincial sales distributors and dealers distribute our products to retailers throughout the PRC.
Research & Development
We do business with many kinds of research and development enterprises. We cooperate with professional design houses such as Shanghai Huntel Technology Limited (“Huntel”) and Tranzda wireless(“Tranzda”), who are mainly involved with us in MMI (U2) (“Man Machine Interface”) designing, software and hardware testing, CTA (“China Type Approval”) certification, acquisition and phone main board updating and software adaptability testing. In addition, we work with cooperative partners, such as Dalian Daxian Telecom Co., Ltd. (“Daxian”) and some companies in developing ID/MD and the layout of cellular phone main boards. Based on this research and development, our strategic business partners and we are then able to design and develop new products.
We mainly cooperate with other professional design houses and work together on research and development projects. Whenever possible, we use and lease their instruments and equipment, rather than purchasing it ourselves. In the area of software compiling, testing & 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.
As 3G continues to develop in the PRC in 2006, we anticipate that we will be able to develop our own 3G mobile phones based on both our own research and development efforts and cooperation with the strategic industry partners. We are now being negotiated with several parties including foreign 3G technology providers such as Spreadtrum Communication (Shanghai) Inc. (“SCI”), several 3G chipset and solution providers in order to get us well prepare the launch of 3 G services in coming future. We will put our efforts to focus on the development of the products in TD-SCDMA and WCDMA standard. Our strategic partners, such as SCI developed 2.5 G and 3G integrated circuit and provides 2.5G GPRS and 3G TD-SCDMA chipset and software development platforms and solutions, are the successful corporations in the PRC telecommunication industry. We believe the cooperation with 3G technology providers in working on future research and development projects will help facilitate our entry into the 3G wireless market.
We have established a team for technology development. The members of our team are our product planning division, project management division and industrial design center. Our product planning division is responsible for constructing the medium term strategic plans and research and development scheduling. Our project management division administers our research and development efforts, overseas manufacturing and quality control of our products and monitors costs, including human resource costs. Our industrial design center is responsible for evaluating design plans provided by third party industrial design companies and confirming model structural design and tracing the issues on module production and quality.
· | Introduced the first watch-style cellular based on CDMA2000IX with joint efforts of Telson Electronics Co., Ltd, a South Korea company, in May of 2003. |
· | Based on GPRS CLASS 10 module, developed the first GPRS cellular collaborating system, with South Korea's TELSON, which is based on WISMO PAC P5186D, the GPRS module of WAVECOM company, in May of 2003, which was introduced on October of 2003. |
· | Formed a production line of 1 to 3-million Charge Coupled Device (“CCD”) pixel camera by configuring high-resolution CMOS (“Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor”) |
Competition
The Company faces substantial competition from other wireless phone manufacturers such as: Nokia, Motorola, which controlled above 50% totally, of the cellular market in the PRC in the first three quarters of 2006. In addition we face competition from Ningbo Bird Corporation Ltd and Lenovo Group Limited, both of which are domestic PRC producers and controlled between 4% and 10%, respectively of the cellular market in the PRC in 2005.
Government Regulation
There is no government regulation banning or making material effect on Xelent, including but not limited, any law, rule or regulation or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award binding on or applicable to Xelent. In the PRC cellular market, cellular manufacturers are responsible for repair, replacement and return of cellular phone to customers within the warranty period in accordance with certain rules and regulation in the PRC.
Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights
Xelent has applied for “
”as the registered trademark and the China Trademark Agency has distributed “Notification of Acceptance” is serial number ZC3878232SL.
We utilize other intellectual property legally with partners that we cooperate with through contracts or agreements.
Employees
We have approximately 60 employees. Of the 60 employees, 7 persons serve in management related capacities. The remaining employees are in 10 departments, namely the Project Management Department which employs 2 persons; the Technology Support and Quality Control Department which employs 4 persons; the Business Management Department which employs 2 persons; the Planning and Finance Department which employs 5 persons; the Human Resources Department which employs 8 persons; the Financing and Investment Department which employs 1 person, the Customer Service Department which employs 19 persons; the R&D Department which employs 6 persons; the Marketing Development Department which employs 3 persons and the Logistics Department employs 3 persons.
We believe that our relationship with our employees is good, 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.
Risks Related to Our Business
Loss of significant customers, or other major customers, could casually hurt our business by reducing our revenues and profitability.
Our success depends substantially upon retaining our significant 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.
We face intense competition.
The market we serve is intensely competitive in the PRC. There are other providers that we compete with for business. There are low barriers to entry for new competitors in this market and we may experience negative impacts as a result of increased competition. In addition, our existing or potential competitors may in the future achieve greater market acceptance and gain additional market share, which in turn could reduce our revenues.
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 and employees or fail to add new senior and middle managers to our management.
Our future success is heavily dependent upon 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 and employees are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to easily replace them, and our business may be severely disrupted. In addition, if any of these key executives or employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we could lose customers and suppliers and incur additional expenses to recruit and train personnel. Each of our executive officers has entered into an employment agreement with us.
We also rely on a number of key technology staff for the operation of 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 utilize a third party production center for the manufacture of the products we sell to our customers. Should we be required to utilize a different source for our manufactured products our costs could be negatively affected.
Rapid growth and a rapidly changing operating environment strain our limited resources.
We will need to increase our investment in our technology infrastructure, facilities and other areas of operations, in particular our 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 our business may suffer. Our future success will depend on, among other things, our ability to:
· | Continue to develop through our research and development facilities new technologies acceptable to the PRC market, |
· | continue training, motivating and retaining our existing employees and attract and integrate new employees, including our senior management, most of whom have been with our company for less than one year, |
· | 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 disclosure under applicable laws, including U.S. securities laws, is complete and accurate. |
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 contractual restrictions on disclosure 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. Our management may determine in the future to make application for copyright, trademark or trade secret protection if management determines that such protection would be beneficial and cost-effective.
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 claim of infringement and our failure or inability to develop non-infringing technology or content or license the infringed or similar technology or content on a timely basis, our business could suffer. Moreover, even if we are able to license the infringed or similar technology or content, license fees that we pay to licensors could be substantial or uneconomical.
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. Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.
Our ability to generate revenues could suffer if the Chinese market for cellular phones does not develop as anticipated.
The cellular phones market 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 our market. It is extremely difficult to accurately predict consumer acceptance and demand for various existing and potential new offerings and services, and the future size, composition and growth of this market.
Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC
A downturn in the Chinese economy may slow down our growth and profitability.
The growth of the Chinese economy has been uneven across geographic regions and economic sectors. There can be no assurance that growth of the Chinese economy will be steady or that any downturn will not have a negative effect on our business. Our profitability will decrease if expenditures for wireless services decrease due to a downturn in the Chinese economy. More specifically, increased penetration of wireless services in the less economically developed central and western provinces of China will depend on those provinces achieving certain income levels so that cellular phones and related services become affordable to a significant portion of the population.
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 the access to our services.
The uncertain legal environment in China could limit the legal protections available to you.
The Chinese legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which decided legal cases have little precedential value. In the late 1970s, the Chinese 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 foreign invested enterprises in China. However, these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively recent and are evolving rapidly, and their interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties. 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 requisite 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 China, 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 which would severely disrupt our operations, |
· | the sickness or death of our key officers and employees, and |
· | a general slowdown in the Chinese 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 China’s political and economic policies could harm our business.
The economy of China 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 Chinese government have had a positive effect on the economic development of China, 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 Chinese economy differs from the economies of most countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD. These differences include:
· | level of government involvement in the economy; |
· | 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 Chinese economy were similar to those of the OECD member countries.
Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our revenues effectively.
Because almost all of our future revenues may be in the form of Renminbi, any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use revenue generated in Renminbi to fund any future business activities outside China or to make dividend or other payments in U.S. dollars. Although the Chinese government introduced regulations in 1996 to allow greater convertibility of the Renminbi for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain, including primarily the restriction that foreign invested enterprises may only buy, sell or remit foreign currencies, after providing valid commercial documents, at those banks 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 China, and companies are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items. We cannot be certain that the Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose more stringent restrictions on the convertibility of the Renminbi, especially with respect to foreign exchange transactions.
The value of our securities will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and Renminbi.
The value of our common stock will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and Renminbi. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into Renminbi for our operational needs and should the Renminbi appreciate against the U.S. dollar at that time, our financial position and the price of our common stock may be adversely affected. Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of declaring dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the Renminbi, the U.S. dollar equivalent of our earnings from our subsidiaries in China would be reduced.
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, |
· | 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.
A large portion of our common stock is held by a small number of stockholders. As a result, these stockholders are able to influence 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.
We may be subject to “penny stock” regulations.
The U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market. A broker-dealer must also provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer, and our sales person in the transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for stock that becomes subject to those penny stock rules. Whenever any of our securities become subject to the penny stock rules, holders of those securities may have difficulty in selling those securities.
Our securities are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which limits the liquidity and price of our securities more than if our securities were quoted or listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market or a national exchange.
Our securities are traded in the over-the-counter market and quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities sponsored and operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or NASD, but not included in The Nasdaq Stock Market. Quotation of our securities on the OTC Bulletin Board limits the liquidity and price of our securities more than if our securities were quoted or listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market or a national exchange. Lack of liquidity will limit the price at which you may be able to sell our securities or your ability to sell our securities at all.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and footnotes thereto contained in this report.
Overview
The Company was organized under the laws of 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 Darrel Lerner, the sole shareholder, 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 purchase and share exchange transaction, Universal Flirts Inc. became the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Pursuant to 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. The Company then 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, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong (“UFIL”). The exchange was consummated under the laws of State of Delaware and pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement. In connection with its acquisition of UFIL, the Company also 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, $0.001 par value, to the stockholders of UFIL, representing approximately 50.41% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, in exchange for 20,000,000 outstanding shares of UFIL and cash payment of $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 the 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. The Company's OTC Bulletin Board symbol is ORXT and its CUSIP Number is 68749U106.
In July, 2005 a wholly owned subsidiary, Orsus Xelent Trading (HK) Company Limited, was incorporated in Hong Kong. Orsus Xelent Trading (HK) Company Limited is engaged in the trading of cellular phones and accessories with overseas customers.
Business Review
The respective market shares of domestic PRC cellular phone manufacturers decreased in the first quarter of 2006. The primary cause of this decrease was increased competition among domestic and overseas manufacturers. Advancements in technology prompted foreign cellular phone manufacturers to speed up the rollout of new products. Also, foreign cellular phone manufacturers offered price reductions to promote and clear their inventories of older products. This increase in competition was compounded by the continuing proliferation of counterfeit and “black market” cell phones in the PRC, which impacted sales of cellular phone products by legitimate manufacturers such as Xelent.
By the second quarter of 2006, most of the domestic PRC cellular phone manufacturers had adjusted their strategy to increase the competitiveness by price cutting, improving the quality of the products and accelerating the pace of new product rollouts. These manufacturers are creating better efficiency by introducing products designed for the local market and better using their supply chain. As a result, they have adapted to the rapidly changing market in the PRC and regained in the second quarter of 2006 some of the market share they lost in the first quarter. Additionally, they are beginning to make a stronger move into the overseas market to broaden their sales and increase their revenues.
According to our market research, the market of cellular phones equipped with specialized applications for specific industry users has been developed rapidly in the PRC. These products are custom designed and equipped with specialized applications and software to meet the special requirements of users in various specialized industries (such as bank, State Administration for Industry & Commerce (“SAIC”), logistic and securities companies). In the fourth quarter of this year, we entered into an Intent of Cooperation Agreement with a software development provider, Hua Yuan Run Tong (Beijing) Technology CO., Ltd. (“HYRT”), to assist us in meeting the need for these customized cellular phones. HYRT developed specialized software to support an application platform called the Industry & Commerce Law-Enforcement Platform (“ICEP”). The ICEP platform uses the CDMA 1X wireless data networks of the PRC to integrate commercial and government information resources. This includes a customized digital administration system for SAIC of the PRC in the Hebei Province that provides easy access by SAIC's professional law-enforcement teams. It provides technical support for SAIC officials to conduct mobile law-enforcement and food-safety monitoring. The public can also access business information through the ICEP. We anticipate that 20,000 specialized application devices will be provided to SAIC of Hebei Province in 2007. The business relating to our specialized application cellular phone devices will grow rapidly as a consequence of our cooperation with the software development company, HYRT and SAIC, and this could provide us a considerable advantage as we look to broaden our presence in the larger commercial markets.
In the fourth quarter of 2006, the device, model X180, which is provided by Xelent, has passed the test by HYRT, and got the NO. 001 qualified test report. We become the first terminal product provider of HYRT. Our product X180 becomes the only one model for the exhibition and illustration during the business promotion by HYRT to SAIC and China Unicom. Through the promotion conducting by HYRT, our product X180 is widely affirmed and recognized by SAIC and China Unicom. The recognition by China Unicom could help us to further develop our specialized application device in other industries. We believe the product line of specialized application device could have a significant growth in the year of 2007.
Demand for our cellular phone products has increased as a result of the correct positioning of our products to meet the needs of the mid-level and low-end markets in the PRC. Our mid-level and low-end products are all equipped with a number of attractive features, such as MP3, MEPG4, camera and support outer card storage card. Also, the overall reduction in the GSM charges of PRC telecommunication providers, which caused an increase in the number of new cellular phone subscribers, also enhanced the demand of new cellular phones. After reduction of inventories by price cutting from domestic manufacturers in the second quarter, the profit margin of domestic cellular phones manufacturers, including Xelent, in the third quarter was comparable to profit margins in the first quarter of 2006. We expect this trend to continue and we are, therefore, optimistic with respect to our profits for the fourth quarter.

Application of critical accounting policies and estimates
Our 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 the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, including those related to revenue recognition, inventories, adequacy of allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived assets, income taxes, and warranties. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form 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 under different assumptions or conditions. The policies discussed below are considered by management to be critical to an understanding of our financial statements.
Revenue recognition
Net sales represent the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added tax (“VAT”) and returns. We generally recognize product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. We have a policy of including handling costs incurred for finished goods, which are not significant, in sales and marketing expenses.
Warranties
We offer warranties on the products we manufacture. Terms generally are for one year from the date of sale. Provision for warranty expense is established for costs that are expected to be incurred after the sales and delivery of products under warranty. The balance of warranty provision was $53,000 by the year ended December 31, 2006. The warranty provision is determined based on known product failures, historical experience of the level of repairs and replacements, and other currently available evidence.
Income taxes
Provision for income and other related taxes have been provided in accordance with the tax rates and laws in effect in the PRC.
Income tax expense is computed based on pre-tax income included in the consolidated statements of operations. Deferred income taxes are provided, using the liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. The tax consequences of those differences are classified as current or non-current based upon the classification of the related assets or liabilities in the consolidated financial statements.
Trade receivables and allowance for doubtful accounts
Trade receivables are recorded at original invoice amount, less an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis, thus trade receivables do not bear interest. Trade receivables are periodically evaluated for collectibility based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. Changes in the estimated collectibility of trade receivables are recorded in the results of operations for the year in which the estimate is revised. Trade receivables are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $230,000 and $149,000 as of December 31, 2006 and of 2005 respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Potential losses from obsolete and slow-moving inventories are provided for when identified. Cost, which comprises all costs of purchase and, where applicable, other costs that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition, is calculated using the weighted average method. Market represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The long-lived assets we hold and use are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Results of operation
Revenues
Our revenues were $68,108,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, representing an increase of 137.27% as compared to 28,705,000 in the Fiscal Year 2005. After going through an environment of reformation in the cellular phone market in 2005, we adjusted our business model, our market position and our strategy and improved our technology and the quality of our products, in terms of both function and appearance. We believe that we are now in a much better position to deal with the rapidly changing and competitive market for cellular phone products in the PRC. Also, we are better prepared to take advantage of the rejuvenated cellular phone market that has resulted from the reduction in the monthly fee charged by telecommunication provides in the second quarter of 2006.
We continue the cooperation with telecommunication operator and expanded the sales of our CDMA products, which accounted for 37% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006, representing an increase of 398%, compared to 2005. Meanwhile, the sales of GSM products have remained relatively stable. Our business strategy emerged in the second quarter and took effect in the third and fourth quarter.
Our mid-level and low-end products contain a number of attractive features, such as MP3, MPEG4, video recording and outer card storage. Our high-end products contain those same features as well as PDA, GPRS and office software function, special industry applications and other attractive features and functions. The appearance of all our products are in line with the latest trends, including being ultra slim and containing a wide use of metal casing, and they have been well received by our customers. We introduced a middle-grade dual mode cellular phone with both GSM & CDMA applications in the third quarter to meet the demand in the market for this type of product.

The increase in the portion of the trading mobile phones activities subsequently provides a risk-control on R&D investments and materials-ordering in facing the competition from the ‘black market’ (counterfeit) cellular phones in the PRC, because the business cycle of trade sales is shorter than R&D models, which made us forestall the ‘black market’ cellular phones in the market.

Cost of Sales
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, our cost of sales was $55,226,000, or 81.09% of revenue. The cost of sales to revenues was 77.59% for the corresponding period in 2005, resulting in an increase of 3.50%. The principal reasons for this increase was the keen competition in the cellular phone industry in the PRC, the pressure on price cutting in our selling price was greater than the reduction in our purchase cost. Additioanlly $8,107,000 of the sales in the second quarter of 2006 were overseas trading, which have generally lower margins as compared to our domestic sales.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses mainly represent payments made to sales personnel, cost of provision for after-sales services, and marketing and transportation costs.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, sales and marketing expenses were $1,045,000, or 1.53% of total revenue, as compared to $1,554,000, or 5.41% of total revenue for the corresponding period in 2005. This constituted a decrease of 32.75% as compared to the corresponding period in 2005. This decrease was due to the reduction in the number of personnel. In addition, the after-sales service expense was reduced resulting from the increase of the portion of trading of cellular phones, where no after-sales service is provided for the trading activities.
Because of the reasons above, for the three months ended December 31, 2006, sales and marketing expenses were $119,000, or 0.54% of total revenue, representing a 71.87% decrease, as compared to the same period of last year. It represents a decrease of 15%, as compared with $140,000 in the third quarter of 2005.
R&D expenses
Our R&D expenses were $255,000 or 0.37% of total revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, which represents 38.26% decrease, as compared with $413,000 or 1.44% of total revenues in the same period of 2005. This decrease R&D expenses was attributed to increase in our trading activities and the change of the business model to purchase mature projects instead of R&D independently. Moreover, the reduction of staff is another reason that decreased R&D expense.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses primarily consist of compensation for personnel, depreciation, travel expenses, rental, materials expenses related to ordinary administration and fees for professional services.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, general and administrative expenses were $1,560,000, which represents 2.29% of total revenue. Included in general and administrative expenses was a allowance for doubtful accounts amounting to $767,000, due primarily to the uncertainty of long outstanding account receivables and trade deposits,. Except for the allowance factor, the general and administrative expenses were $793,000 or 1.16% of the total revenue and represented a decrease of $122,000 or 13.22%, as compared to $915,000 in 2005. The decrease in the expenses was mainly due to the fact that we laid off redundant personnel. Since the second half year of 2005, we have adjusted our business strategy, and this resulted in the redundant personnel, which made the ordinary staff costs, including the wages and insurance for personnel, decrease in relation to the decrease in the numbers of staff.
For the three months ended December 31, 2006, general and administrative expenses were $-323,000. The negative balance is due to that $605,000 bad debts which has been provided in third quarter was recovered in the fourth quarter. Except for this effect, the expenses were only $282,000 or 1.27% of the total revenue, which increased 46.23%, as compared to $146,000, for the corresponding period in 2005. General and administrative expenses increased $140,000 in the fourth quarter of 2006, as compared to 142,000 in the third quarter (expect for the provision of accounts receivables). The increases were mainly due to the seasonal fluctuation.
Allowance for obsolete inventories
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, allowance for obsolete inventories were $1,387,000, which was due to the provision on certain age materials for some products which have stopped.
Gross profit and gross profit margin
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, our gross profit was $12,882,000. Our gross profit margin for the reporting period was 18.91%, which represents 3.5% decrease, as compared to 22.41% of 2005. The gross profit margin in the fourth quarter had a slight increase, which reached 19.07%.
The changes in our gross profit margin are attributable to:
1. | The keen competition from the domestic cellular manufactures and the overseas cellular providers by the strategy of price-cutting. |
2. | The gross profit of overseas trade being relatively low. We have continued to develop our overseas customers since the second quarter of 2006. At the beginning stage of the development of overseas customers, the price of our products was designed to be favorable and attractive to our customers, and the gross profit of overseas is approximately 15% |
3. | Increase in the sales of low-ended products, the demand of the low ended products was stimulated by the reduction of monthly charges by the telecommunication operators. |
Net income
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, our net income was $6,718,000, or net profit margin 9.86%, representing an increase of 3,226,000 or 92.38%, as compared to $3,492,000, or net profit margin 12.17% in 2005. The improvement in our net profit is due primarily to the fact that we have been successful in changing the new business strategy, and positioning in the domestic market played an important part in the increase in our net income. Furthermore, the sharp decline of 30% in the labor costs resulting from our cost control efforts is another reason for the improvement in net income.
However, our net profit margin decreased by 2.30%, as compared to last year, which is mainly because:
1. | In 2006, the allowance for obsolete inventories and doubtful accounts were amounted to $1,387,000 and $767,000 respectively and the loss on the disposal of old moulds amounted to $454,000. |
2. | The income tax of $1,247,000, which was provided in 2006. |
Other than the two factors above, our net profit became $10,573, 000 and the net profit margin reached 15.52%, representing an increase of $6,833,000, as compared to the net income $3,740,000 of 2005(other than the provision). So our profitability has substantially increased in 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generally finance our operations from cash flow generated internally.
As of December 31, 2006, we had current assets of $45,567,000. Current assets are mainly comprised of accounts receivable of $31,425,000, trade deposits of $8,989,000, restricted cash, cash and cash equivalents of $2,421,000, inventory of $1,230,000 and other accounts receivable of $1,502,000.

The increase in our account receivables was due primarily to trading with our two major customers, XWSD and CECM.
As of December 31, 2006, our trade deposits were $8,989,000, which represented a decrease of $1,591,000 or 15%, as compared to $10,580,000 on December 31, 2005. The trade deposit comprised the deposit of the produce of Specialized Application Devices and good-sale cellular phones.

This decrease was due in large part to our use of old materials during the production of our older models. In addition, our newly developed products do not require us to carry large level of inventories because the component parts are readily available. We have critically and regularly evaluated our inventory and an allowance for obsolete inventory was made. An aggregate of $1,804,000 was taken as an allowance for obsolete inventories as of December 31, 2006.

The increase in accounts payable was attributable mainly to unpaid products from our vendor China Electronic Apparatus Company and Fusong Technology Development (Shenzhen) Ltd.
As of December 31, 2006, our accrued expenses and other accrued liabilities were $4,444,000, which represented a significant growth of $2,185,000 or 96.72%, as compared to $2,259,000 on December 31, 2005. The increase is mainly because of the aggregated VAT of $3,961,000.
As of December 31, 2006, our tax payable was $1,294,000, which was attributable mainly to the income tax that we mentioned in the net profit analysis.

Our activities, assets and liabilities are mainly denominated in RMB, any further possible inflation of RMB would be beneficial to us.

The Corporate Governance Committee is comprised solely of non-employee Directors, all of whom our Board of Directors has determined are independent pursuant to the AMEX Rules.
Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee is comprised solely of non-employee Directors, all of whom our Board of Directors has determined are independent pursuant to the AMEX Rules.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors, officers and persons owning more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on its review of the copies of such reports furnished to us, or representations from certain reporting persons that no other reports were required, we believe that all applicable filing requirements were complied with during the fiscal year dated December 31, 2006.
Item 11. Executive Compensation.
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
General Philosophy
We compensate our senior management and key employees through a single way of base salary currently. However our compensation programs of a mix of base salary, bonus and equity compensation is under consideration and will be designed to impact all employees by setting general levels of compensation and helping to create an environment of 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 senior-most levels, we will design the incentive compensation to reward company-wide performance through tying awards primarily to earnings growth and stock appreciation. At lower levels, we will design the incentive compensation to reward the achievement of specific operational goals within areas under the control of the relevant employees, although company-wide performance is also a factor.
Base Salaries
We want to provide our senior management with 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 $65,000 and $75,000 was appropriate in this regard for fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. Similarly, we concluded that a base salary of between $30,000 and $40,000 was appropriate for our chief financial officer for fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. 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. At the senior vice president level we have a significant level of competition for them. We believe that this gives us the opportunity to attract and retain talented managerial employees both at the senior executive level and below.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Orsus Xelent Technologies, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Orsus Xelent Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION AND REORGANIZATION
Orsus Xelent Technologies, Inc. (“ORXT”), formerly known as Universal Flirts Corp., was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 25, 2004. Through its subsidiary, Universal Flirts, Inc., ORXT engaged in developing and operating an online dating service.
Prior to the reorganization with United First International Limited (“UFI”), a company incorporated in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“HK”) of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), on March 31, 2005, ORXT was a development stage company, which, other than providing an online dating service, had no operations or revenues. After recapitalization, ORXT exited the development stage after March 31, 2005.
Upon the completion of the reorganization, ORXT assumed the business operations of UFI as primarily undertaken by its subsidiary, Beijing Orsus Xelent Technologies & Trading Co., Limited (“BOXT”) (English translation for identification purpose only), an enterprise incorporated in Beijing, the PRC that is engaged in the business of design, retail and wholesale distribution cellular phones.
On July 14, 2005, Orsus Xelent Holdings (BVI) Limited (“OXHBVI”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) with issued capital of US$2. OXHBVI is 100% owned by ORXT and the principal activity of OXHBVI is investment holding. On July 22, 2005, Orsus Xelent Trading (HK) Company Limited (“OXTHK”) was incorporated in HK with issued capital of HK$100 (equivalent to US$13), a company engaged in trading of cellular phone and accessories, and is 100% owned by OXHBVI.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“USGAAP”).
The results of the subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are consolidated from the effective dates of acquisition or to the effective dates of disposal, respectively.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Revenue recognition
Net sales represent the invoiced value of goods, 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 collectibility is probable. The Company has a policy of including handling costs incurred for finished goods, which are not significant, in sales and marketing expenses.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Research and development
All cost of research and development activities are expensed as incurred.
Warranties
The Company offers warranties for products it manufactures. Terms generally are for one year from the date of sale. Provision for warranty expense is established for costs that are expected to be incurred after the sales and delivery of products under warranty. The Company provided for anticipated warranty expense in the amount of US$81,000 and paid warranty claims of US$157,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006. The warranty provision is determined based on known product failures, historical experience of the level of repairs and replacements, and other currently available evidence.
Income taxes
Provision for income and other related taxes have been provided in accordance with the tax rates and laws in effect in various countries of operations.
Income tax expense is computed based on pre-tax income included in the consolidated statements of operations. Deferred income taxes are provided, using the liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. The tax consequences of those differences are classified as current or non-current based upon the classification of the related assets or liabilities in the consolidated financial statements.
Comprehensive income
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", requires the presentation of comprehensive income, in addition to the existing statements of operations. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during the year from transactions and other events, excluding the changes resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recorded at original invoice amount, less an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis, thus trade receivables do not bear interest. Trade receivables are periodically evaluated for collectibility based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. Changes in the estimated collectibility of trade receivables are recorded in the results of operations for the year in which the estimate is revised. Trade receivables are presented net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts of US$230,000 and US$149,000 as of December 31, 2006 and of 2005 respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Potential losses from obsolete and slow-moving inventories are provided for when identified. Cost, which comprises all costs of purchase and, where applicable, other costs that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition, is calculated using the weighted average method. Market represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at original cost less accumulated depreciation.
The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the 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 expenses in the year in which they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the 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 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 costs 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:
Moulds | | Sum-of-the-units method |
Leasehold improvements | | Straight-line method over the lease term |
Machinery and equipment | | Straight-line method at 20% p.a. |
Office equipment | | Straight-line method at 20% p.a. |
Motor vehicles | | Straight-line method at 20% p.a. |
Impairment of long-lived assets
The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Operating leases
Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the leasing company are accounted for as operating leases. Rental payables under operating leases are recognized as expenses on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Foreign currency translation
The Company considers Renminbi as its functional currency as a substantial portion of the Company’s business activities are based in Renminbi. However, the Company has chosen the United States dollar as its reporting currency.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are translated into the functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing 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 consolidated 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 year.
Translation adjustments, when material, resulting from this process are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity.
Cash equivalents
The Company considers short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with USGAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported year. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for certain items such as allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation, inventory allowance, provision for warranty, taxes and contingencies.
Segment information
Operating segments are defined as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates in a single business segment of trading of cellular phones
The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”. The Company’s results of operations and financial position were affected by the implementation of SFAS No. 131 as it operates in more than one geographical areas. Segment information is disclosed in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

Related parties
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
Recently issued accounting standards
There are no new accounting pronouncements for which adoption is expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
3. CONCENTRATIONS
The Company is engaged principally in the design and trading of cellular phones primarily to three dealers in the PRC. The Company buys certain major products from five major suppliers. In addition, the Company subcontracts material purchasing and assembly works of cellular phones mainly to three subcontracting factories. Management believes 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. On the other hand, the diversification of suppliers will reduce the risk of increasing production cost.

10. | DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME |
The Company's income is substantially contributed by BOXT, a company incorporated in the PRC. Income of BOXT is distributable to its stockholders after transfer to dedicated reserves as required under its articles of association and relevant PRC rules and regulations.
Prior to the re-organization to a WOFIE in November 2004, dedicated reserves of BOXT include a statutory surplus reserve and a statutory public welfare fund. In accordance with the relevant PRC Companies Law and rules and regulations, it is required to transfer amounts equal to at least 10% and 5% of its after-tax income to the statutory surplus reserve and statutory public welfare fund, respectively.
The statutory surplus reserve can only be utilized to offset prior years' losses or for capitalization as paid-in capital, whereas the statutory public welfare fund shall be utilized for collective staff welfare benefits such as building staff quarters or housing. No distribution of the remaining reserves shall be made other than on liquidation of BOXT.
Since BOXT has became a WOFIE, in accordance with its Articles of Association and the relevant PRC regulations, it is required to transfer to a general reserve fund an amount not less than 10% of the amount of after-tax income and a staff welfare and bonus fund an amount to be determined by the directors. No such transfer was made in years presented.
As stipulated by PRC regulations, the Company maintains a defined contribution retirement plan for all of its employees who are residents of PRC. All retired employees of the Company are entitled to an annual pension equal to their basic annual salary upon retirement. The Company contributed to a state sponsored retirement plan approximately 20% of the basic salary of its 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 expenses were US$27,000 and US$15,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 respectively.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
| (a) | Operating lease commitments |
The Company leases certain staff quarters and office premises under non-cancelable operating leases. Rental expenses under operating leases were US$51,000 and US$83,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 respectively.
The following table summarizes the approximate future minimum rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases in effect as of December 31, 2006 and 2005:
| | 2006 | | 2005 | |
| | US$’000 | | US$’000 | |

2007 | | | 27 | | | 27 | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | 27 | | | 54 | |
In accordance with PRC’s tax regulations, BOXT’s sales are subject to a 17% of value added tax (“VAT”) upon the issuance of VAT invoices to customers. BOXT follows the practice of reporting its revenue for VAT purposes when invoices are issued. As of December 31, 2006, there were sales amounted to approximately US$61,324,000 (2005: US$21,300,000) for which VAT invoices have not yet been issued.
Furthermore, BOXT reports its revenue for PRC enterprise income tax (“EIT”) purposes when VAT invoices are issued instead of when goods are delivered. All unbilled revenue will become taxable when invoice are issued.
The above practice is not in strict compliance with the relevant laws and regulations in respect of VAT and EIT. Despite the fact that BOXT has made full provision on VAT and EIT including surcharge in the financial statements, BOXT may be subject to a penalty for the deferred reporting of above tax obligations. The exact amount of penalty cannot be estimated with any reasonable degree of certainty. The board of directors considers it is more likely than not that the tax penalty will not be imposed.
