REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and the Shareholders
e-Future Information Technology Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of e-Future Information Technology Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2005 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, presented in Chinese Yuan (Renminbi). These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 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 e-Future Information Technology Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2005 and 2006 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, presented in Chinese Yuan (Renminbi), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Translating Financial Statements– The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s functional currency is the Chinese Yuan (Renminbi) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in Chinese Yuan. The consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 have been translated into United States dollars solely for the convenience of the reader, are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are unaudited. Solely for this purpose, the consolidated financial statements have been translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of ¥7.8041 = US$1.00, the approximate exchange rate prevailing on December 31, 2006. These translated U.S. dollar amounts should not be construed as representing Chinese Yuan amounts or that the Chinese Yuan amounts have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars.
Reclassifications– Certain 2005 amounts have been reclassified to bring them into conformity with the 2006 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net income.
Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of e-Future Information Technology Inc. and of its wholly owned subsidiary, e-Future (Beijing) Tornado Information Technology Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Accounting Estimates –The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In particular, the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts could change in the near term.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments – The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for trade accounts receivable, other receivables, advances to suppliers, trade accounts payable, accrued liabilities and advances from customers approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term debt investments with original maturities of no more than three months.
Trade Accounts and Other Receivables – Provision is made against trade accounts and other receivables to the extent they are considered to be doubtful. Other receivables are from transactions with non-trade customers.

Inventory– Inventory is comprised of purchased software available for resale, other consumable materials and work in process. Inventory is stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Work in process consists of costs incurred on contracts that have not been completed nor recognized as revenue.
Valuation of Long-lived Assets – The carrying values of the Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may not be recoverable. When such an event occurs, the Company projects the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition over the remaining life of the asset. If projections indicate that the carrying value of the long-lived asset will not be recovered, the carrying value of the long-lived asset is reduced by the estimated excess of the carrying value over the projected discounted cash flows.
Intangible Assets –Internally Generated Computer Software Costs and Research and Development –The Company charges all development costs to research and development until technological feasibility has been established. Technological feasibility has been established when a detail program design has been completed, or the completion of a working model. After reaching technological feasibility, additional software costs are capitalized until the software is available for general release to customers. The estimated useful life of capitalized software development expenditures is the shorter of four years or the estimated period of realization of revenue from the related software.
Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when (1) it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement, (2) delivery has occurred, (3) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Delivery does not occur until products have been shipped or services have been provided to the client and the client has signed a completion and acceptance report, risk of loss has transferred to the client, client acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that the criteria specified in client acceptance provisions have been satisfied. The sales price is not considered to be fixed or determinable until all contingencies related to the sale have been resolved.
The Company provides the following products and services: self-developed software, purchased software, purchased hardware, system design and integration, and post-contract maintenance and technical support.
Software
The Company sells self-developed software and software purchased from other vendors. For software sales, the Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position No. 97-2,Software Revenue Recognition, and related interpretations. Revenue from perpetual (one-time charge) licensed software is recognized at the inception of the license term. Revenue from term (monthly license charge) arrangements is recognized on a subscription basis over the period that the customer is using the license. The Company does not provide any rights of return or warranties on the Company’s software.
Revenues applicable to multiple-element fee arrangements are bifurcated among the elements such as software, hardware and post-contract service using vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value. Such evidence consists of pricing of multiple elements when those same elements are sold as separate products or arrangements. Software maintenance for the first year and initial training are included in the purchase price of the software. Initial training is provided at the time of installation and is recognized as income as part of the price of the software since it is minimal in value. Maintenance is valued based on the fee schedule used by the Company for providing the regular level of maintenance service as sold to customers when renewing their maintenance contracts on a stand alone basis. Maintenance revenue is included in the statement of operations under service fee income and is recognized over the term of the agreement.

Hardware
Revenue from hardware sales is generally recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and when there are no unfulfilled Company obligations that affect the customer’s final acceptance of the arrangement.
Services
The Company provides services for system integration which involves the design and development of complex information technology systems to the customer’s specifications. These services are provided on a fixed-price contract and the contract terms generally are short term. Revenue is recognized on the completed-contract method when delivery and acceptance is determined by a completion report signed by the customer.
Work in process inventory represents the cost of work performed towards providing such services that has not been completed as of the balance sheet date.
The Company offers telephone and minimal on-site support to its customers on a stand alone basis. Revenue from maintenance and technical support is recognized over the period of the agreement.
Advances from customers represent deposits received as of the balance sheet date. Advances include amounts related to projects that had yet to be completed.
Deferred revenue represents unearned amounts billed to customers related to post-contract maintenance agreements.
Cost of Revenues –Costs associated with contracts are deferred and recognized as inventory until the services are completed, the products and software are installed and delivered to and accepted by the customer. When the criteria for revenue recognition have been met, costs incurred are recognized as cost of revenue. Cost of revenues include wages, materials, handling charges, and other expenses associated with the development of information technology systems to the customer’s specifications, the cost of purchased hardware and software, and costs related to technical support services. Amortization of capitalized software costs is included in the cost of revenue.
Advertising Costs – Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. Total advertising expense was ¥963,163, ¥905,012, and ¥280,891 ($35,993) for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
Income taxes – Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes.Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if it is not likely that the asset will be realized.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The interpretation is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The impact of adoption of this interpretation on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, if any, has not yet been determined.

Net Earnings per Ordinary Share –Basic earnings per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary share equivalents outstanding. Potential ordinary share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock and the exercise of stock options and warrants.
The following table is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share and the weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006:

Stock-Based Compensation – Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123 (Revised 2004),Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires the recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements and is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. SFAS 123R also requires the stock option compensation expense to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). Prior to the Company adopting SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation plans were accounted for under Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). Under APB 25, generally no compensation expense is recorded when the terms of the award are fixed and the exercise price of the employee stock option equals or exceeds the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The Company adopted the disclosure-only provision of SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123).
For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the Company had no compensation expense related to stock options.
For options granted subsequent to the adoption date of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006, the fair value of each stock option grant will be estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company had no stock option grants during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 or 2006. During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 there were 62,499 of options outstanding that had not be exercised as of December 31, 2006.
Recently Enacted Accounting Standards – In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 155,Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (SFAS 155). SFAS 155 amends SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesand SFAS No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing

(Information in United States Dollars, as of December 31, 2006 is Unaudited)
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities and related interpretations. SFAS 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation and clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to recognition as liabilities. SFAS 155 eliminates the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 is effective for the Company for all financial instruments acquired or issued beginning January 1, 2007. The impact of adoption of this statement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, if any, has not yet been determined.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156,Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140(SFAS 156). SFAS 156 amends SFAS No. 140Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities and related interpretations. SFAS 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset. It also requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS 156 permits an entity to use either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2007. The impact of adoption of this statement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, if any, has not yet been determined.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 will be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) (“SFAS 158”). Under SFAS 158, companies must recognize a net liability or asset to report the funded status of their defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans on their balance sheets. The effective date of the recognition and disclosure provisions for calendar-year public companies is for calendar years ending after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard but it is not expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2006.
Business Segments –The Company operates in one industry which includes the sale of computer software, hardware and services solely to customers in China; therefore, no business segment information has been presented.

NOTE 6. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)
Reverse Stock Split– On June 16, 2005, the shareholders of the Company approved a 1-for-7.560678 reverse stock split to its outstanding ordinary shares. This split also affected the potential conversion of the preferred stock. The number of ordinary shares outstanding for all periods presented has been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The shareholders of the Company changed its authorized capital to 6,613,756 ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0756 U.S. Dollars per share.
Preferred stock – The Company’s Articles of Association allows for the issuance of convertible preferred stock in the amount of 10,000,000 shares at a par value of $0.0756 per share with the rights as described in those articles. Holders of the preferred stock have the same voting rights as holders of ordinary stock. All other material rights are to be determined by special resolution of the board of directors.
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock – At December 31, 2004, there were 4,016,610 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock outstanding. Holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock had the same voting rights as holders of ordinary stock. Series A convertible preferred stock holders were entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of ordinary shares into which such shares of Series A convertible preferred were convertible. The conversion rate was one share of Series A preferred stock to 0.1439335 shares of ordinary stock, or 578,125 shares.
At any time starting April 20, 2006, any majority holder of Series A convertible preferred stock had the right to require the Company to redeem of the Series A convertible preferred stock at a redemption price of ¥7.61 ($0.94) per share plus all declared but unpaid dividends. From the date of issuance in 2001, the redemption amount was ¥30,583,993. As a result, the Series A convertible preferred stock was mandatorily redeemable and was classified as a long-term liability upon adopting SFAS No. 150 during 2003. In accordance with EITF D-98, the Company recorded the carrying amount of the redeemable Series A preferred stock at its fair value when it was issued on April 20, 2001. The fair value was determined based upon its redemption value at that date and resulted in a charge to accumulated deficit of ¥9,894,407 during 2001. There were no changes in the redemption value from the date of issuance through June 16, 2005.

NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES
To date, the Company has not been subject to any income taxes in the United States or the Cayman Islands. Enterprises with foreign investment and foreign enterprises doing business in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) are generally subject to federal (state) enterprise income tax at a rate of 30% and a local income tax at a rate of 3%; however, due to the Company’s location in a State Standard High Technology Development Zone, the Company was granted a certification of High Technology Enterprise and will be taxed at a 15% federal rate for taxable income generated after 2001 and will be exempt from local tax. In addition, e-future Beijing is located in the Beijing Zhongguanchun High Technology Development Zone. Therefore, it was exempt from 50% of the federal tax during 2003 through 2005.

The Company had minimal operations in jurisdictions other than the PRC. Income (loss) before income taxes consists of:

Software Infringement Indemnity –Standard software license agreements contain an infringement indemnity clause under which the company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless customers and business partners against liability and damages arising from claims of various copyright or other intellectual property infringements by their software products. The terms constitute a form of guarantee that is subject to the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 45,Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of the Indebtedness of Others. The estimated liability under the guarantee is zero.
Litigation – In August 2002, the Company was sued for the termination of contracts between the Company and another party. The other party sued for costs and losses in the amount of ¥665,500 ($82,464). The case is currently in the procedure of first instance or first trial.
In the administration of adjudication of Civil litigations in the PRC, the people’s courts adopt the system whereby a case shall be finally decided after at most two trials, which are called first instance and second instance respectively. This means: (a) Judgments or orders of the first instance shall come from a local people’s court, and a party may bring an appeal only once to the people’s court at the next higher level; (b)Judgments or orders of the first instance of the local people’s courts at various levels become legally effective if, within the prescribed period for appeal, no party makes an appeal; (c)judgments and orders of the court of the second instance, if any, shall be seen as final decisions of the case and cannot be appealed, however, any judgments and orders rendered by the Supreme People’s Court as the court of the first instance shall become immediately legally effective. This case is not with the Supreme People’s Court.
The Company has accrued ¥665,500 in accrued expenses. There might be additional expenses related to this claim but it is impossible for management to forecast all of the possibilities related to this case. The additional expenses that could be incurred include: additional accrued interest expense, execution (of the legally effective legal documents) expenses of the case and accepting fee of People’s Court(s).
Management has considered the likely out come of this case based on past experience with similar cases and determined that the total amount of estimated costs should be accrued and expensed as a result of the claim. There could be additional costs related to the case which can not be estimated at this time.
