1. | PREPARATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2007 and 2006 have been prepared based upon Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("USA") have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto incorporated in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed on 2 April 2007. The results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are presented in United States dollars and prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the USA ("US GAAP") which requires management to make certain 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basic earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.
The Company had no potential common stock instruments with a dilutive effect for any period presented, therefore basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.
The Company is subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdictions in which it operates. Provision for income and other related taxes have been provided in accordance with the tax rates and laws in effect in the various countries of operations.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
3. | INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) |
No provision for withholding or United States federal or state income taxes or tax benefits on the undistributed earnings and/or losses of the Company's subsidiaries has been provided as the earnings of these subsidiaries, in the opinion of the management, will be reinvested indefinitely.
United First International Limited was incorporated in Hong Kong and has no assessable profit for the periods presented. Orsus Xelent Trading (HK) Limited (“OXTHK”) was also incorporated in Hong Kong and Hong Kong Profits Tax has not been provided as OXTHK incurred a loss for taxation purposes. Since Beijing Orsus Xelent Technologies & Trading Co., Limited has registered as a wholly-owned foreign investment enterprise (“WOFIE”), it is subject to tax laws applicable to WOFIE in the PRC and is fully exempt from the PRC enterprise income tax of 24% for two years followed by a 50% reduction for the next three years, commencing fiscal year 2006.
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, as defined, and prescribes the measurement process and a minimum recognition threshold for a tax position, taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, that is required to be met before being recognized in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain position only if it is more-likely-than-not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements attributable to such position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate resolution of the position.
As of January 1, 2007, the Company is subject to the provisions of FIN 48, and has analyzed its filing positions in all of the federal, state and foreign jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as for all open years for those jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2006, and March 31, 2007, the Company has identified the following jurisdictions as “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined, in which it is required to file income tax returns: United States; Hong Kong and China. Based on the evaluations noted above, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its consolidated financial statements. Based on a review of tax positions for all open years, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to FIN 48 during the three months ended March 31, 2007, and the Company does not anticipate that it is reasonably possible that any material increase or decrease in its unrecognized tax benefits will occur within twelve months.

3. | INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) |
Upon adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, and as of March 31, 2007, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits or accruals for the potential payment or interest and penalties. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties in this connection as a component of the provision for income tax expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, no interest or penalties were recorded.

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.

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-Q.
OVERVIEW
The Company was organized under the laws of State of Delaware in May 2004, under the name of “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. Immediately, 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, 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 Exchange Agreement dated effective as of March 31, 2005. 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, namely Orsus Xelent Trading (HK) Company Limited (“OXHK”), was incorporated in 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 (the “PRC”).
The business operations of UFIL are conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Xelent, which is also commonly called “Orsus Cellular” within the cellular phone industry. Xelent has been engaged since May 2003 in the business of designing cellular phones for retail and wholesale distribution economically priced cellular phones. In February 2004, Xelent registered “ORSUS” with the PRC State Administration for Industry and Commerce as its product trademark. The cellular phone products produced by Xelent are customarily equipped with leading features including 1.8-inch to 2.8-inch CSTN, TFT or QVGA dual-color display, 1 to 240-minute video recording, 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 & flip-phone technology and ultra thin innovative lightweight design. Xelent sold approximately 1,430,000 cellular phones since the first product launched in 2004.
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 TDS-CDMA 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 expected 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, the 3G commercial use could be expected before the end of 2007. We are now being negotiated with the 3G solution and chips providers in order to develop a sample of cellular phone for the telecommunication operator testing in a timely manner. Once the 3G technology has been introduced to the market, 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 TDS-CDMA Industry League, as well as working toward the granting of 3G cellular phones manufacturing licenses from the PRC government in 2007.
BUSINESS REVIEW
Since the beginning of year 2006, we adopted the strategy to directly cooperate with the telecommunication operators in the PRC, we continued our customization strategy to meet the requirements of our telecommunication operator customers and aim at establishing a long-term cooperation relationship with them. Now, we have become a cooperation partner of one of the major telecommunication operators in the PRC, China Unicom, to produce cellular phone equipped with specialized application devices. Recently, we are going to enter into a sale contract with China Unicom for the product of X180. We expected the sales order of product X180 could be reached about 70,000 units in 2007. Additionally, the cooperation with another major telecommunication operator, China Mobile, also has a substantial development. We are going to act as an agent for a cellular phone. We expect the cooperation with China Mobile will become much closer and finally we could be one of the mobile suppliers of China Mobile.
In facing the business opportunities of the cellular phone equipped with specialized application device and the cooperation with telecommunication operators, a new marketing and sales division was established in this quarter, which played an important role in the communicating with specific industry customers and telecommunication operators, consolidating the relationship with telecommunication operators and upgrading the sales ability of the company. On the other hand, we did not forget the public use cellular phone market, which is our core business. The sales volume of the tradition cellular phone sale maintained a stable achievement in the first quarter. In the first quarter of 2007, the revenue increased by 139.14%, as compared to the same time period of 2006.
The following table summarizes our operating result for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES
Our discussion and analysis on 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. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and 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.
RESULTS OF OPERATION
Revenues
Our revenues were $20,009,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, representing an increase of 139.14% as compared to 8,367,000 of the same period last year. 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. We are better prepared to take advantage of the rejuvenated cellular phone market.
We continued to cooperate with telecommunication operators and expanded the sales of our CDMA products, which accounted for 68% of our total revenues for the three months period ended March 31, 2007. Meanwhile, the sales of traditional GSM products have remained relatively stable.
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 metals, and they have been welcomed by our customers.
Product Segments
The total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007 amounted to $20,009,000, of which the sale of GSM products in this period accounted for $6,375,000, or 32%, of our total revenue.

The high demand in the CDMA products is resulting from the promotion of CDMA product and the enhancement of CDMA network coverage from the China Unicom. The increase in the number of CDMA users promoted the demand of CDMA products in this quarter.
Our GSM products are purchased from Beijing Dong Fang Long Yu Trading Company, which includes D8110 (ultra thin, slide PDA with MP3, MEPG4, Camera, T-Flash Card).

Cost of sales

The cost of sales was $6,493,000, or 77.6% for the corresponding period in 2006, which represented an increase of 151.67%. The principal reasons for this increase was the keen competition in the mature cellular phone industry, the pressure on the price cutting in selling price was greater than the reduction in our purchase cost..
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 three months ended March 31, 2007, sales and marketing expenses were $113,000, or 0.56% of total revenue, as compared to $440,000, or 5.31% of total revenue for the corresponding period in 2006. This constituted a decrease of 74.55% as compared to the corresponding period in 2006. This decrease was due to reduce in the after-sell service which is resulting from the changes in the after-sales service policy and the cost of products repair was afford by the original manufactures.
R&D expenses
Our research and development (“R&D”) expenses were $53,000 or 0.26% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007, which represents 34.57% decrease, as compared with $81,000 and 0.97%, respectively, in the same period of 2006. This decrease of 34.57% in 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, travel expenses, rental, materials expenses related to ordinary administration and fees for professional services.

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. | 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. |
3. | Compared with the average gross profit margin of 18.9% in 2006, the gross profit margin in the first quarter in 2007 kept steady, which is mainly because we increased our payment of deposit to the manufactures in order to get a favorable price. |
