If anyone provides you with different information, you should not rely upon it. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus, as well as the information we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and incorporate by reference in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date of the documents containing the information.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary highlights selected information contained in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in the securities. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the "Risk Factors" section, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements.
GENERAL
American Metal & Technology, Inc. (“AMTI”, “we”, “us” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated on October 13, 1987, under the laws of the State of Delaware as Murray United Development Corporation. We entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement on November 6, 2006 (the "Agreement") with American Metal Technology Group, a Nevada corporation (“AMTG"), pursuant to which we acquired one hundred (100%) percent of AMTG's outstanding common stock from the AMTG Stockholders and AMTG became our wholly-owned subsidiary. In connection with this transaction, we issued 1,213,295,563 shares to the stockholders and consultants of AMTG (1,142,388,273 shares to AMTG's former shareholders, including 20,000,000 shares of common stock issued to AMTG as investment upon completion of the due diligence period to the Agreement, and redistributed proportionally to AMTG's shareholders as of May 22, 2007, and 70,907,300 shares to AMTG's consultants). These shares represent more than eighty five (85%) of our issued and outstanding shares of voting capital stock on a fully diluted basis, and therefore the former shareholders of AMTG and its consultants effectively have control of the Company. On June 1, 2007, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation changing our name to American Metal & Technology, Inc.
American Metal Technology Group was incorporated on January 13, 2004 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On June 1, 2004, AMTG entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with Beijing Sande Technology (Holding) Co., Ltd. ( "BST" ) to acquire 80% ownership of Beijing Tong Yuan Heng Feng Technology Co., Ltd. ( "BJTY" ). As a result, AMTG issued 7,200 shares of his pre-split common stock to BST in exchange for 80% ownership of BJTY. On August 2, 2004, AMTG incorporated American Metal Technology (Lang Fang) Co., Ltd. ( "AMLF" ) in Hebei, China, for the purpose of expanding the production facility of BJTY. On August 8, 2004, AMTG and AMLF together entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with Beijing Sande Shang Mao Co., Ltd. ( "BSS" ) for the remaining 20% of BJTY. As a result, AMTG which issued 1,800 shares of pre-split common stock to BSS and AMLF became the owner of 20% shareholder of BJTY. AMTG later acquired the 20% ownership of BJTY from AMLF and owns 100% of BJTY. On November 12, 2004, AMTG effectuated a forward split of all the outstanding shares of common stock on a 1,000 for 1 basis. On November 2005, AMTG sold 5% of BJTY to an unrelated party for $240,000.
Beijing Tong Yuan Heng Feng Technology Co., Ltd. ("BJTY") was incorporated on December 11, 2001 with its principal place of business in Beijing, China. Since its organization, BJTY has been a manufacturer of precision metal parts for original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs").
American Metal Technology (Lang Fang) Co., Ltd., ("AMLF") was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary by AMTG on August 2, 2004 in Lang Fang city, Hebei, China. AMLF was formed to expand the production and operation of BJTY. Following the incorporation, AMLF had purchased the rights to use a total area of 30,291.3 square meters (approximately 326,053 square foot) of land from the Chinese government. The land is located at east side of Meison street and north of Lang Fang development zone garden in Lang Fang, Hebei, China. The term of the land-use-rights is fifty (50) years from September 1, 2004 to September 1, 2054. The land is semi-developed in terms of readied access to supplies of water, electricity, heat, natural gas and internet connections. AMLF has completed its construction of a two story manufacturing plant with a total occupational space of 5,000 square meters (53,819 square foot) and a monthly output capacity of 1,000,000 parts.
OUR BUSINESS

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this prospectus in evaluating our Company and its business before purchasing shares of our common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.
We currently rely upon few suppliers for our raw materials which exposes us to a potential financial risk.
Historically, we have relied on few suppliers for raw materials. Should we subsequently lose any of these suppliers, we will be forced to seek other suppliers for raw materials. Should we fail to locate suppliers of the raw materials that are willing to sell at the same or similar price, we may be forced to purchase these materials at a higher price. Should this occur, our profit margin may be lower than expected on our existing contracts. Furthermore, we may not be able to obtain additional contracts because our offered prices may not be competitive. Should the price of the raw materials rise too high, we may be unable to continue operations.
We have no written agreement or contract for future production which places us at financial risk.
Our sales transactions to our customers are based on purchase orders periodically received by us. Except for these purchase orders, we have no written agreements with our customers for future orders of production or for future sales. Furthermore, the percentage of sales to any of our customers may fluctuate from time to time. Should we fail to maintain the level of production orders from our current customers, or fail to obtain new customers, our revenues will substantially decrease and we may not be able to continue operations.
We compete against a number of companies which are in a better position to offer products in higher volume and at a lower price.
We compete against numerous metal fabrication manufacturers, many of which have financial and technical resources, name recognition, market access, commercial and governmental connections, and research and development capabilities that far exceed ours. Due to intense price competition, we may have to reduce our prices, thereby adversely affecting our operating margins in our metal fabrication operations. This will lead to lower sales, lower gross margins, and lower net profits. During the past few years, except for an insignificant amount of subcontracting income, we have refused all metal fabrication contracts from potential new clients due to pricing pressures and limitation of production facilities, which has affected our net sales.
Our directors and officers will have substantial influence over our operations and control substantially all business matters.
Our officers are also directors, and are the only persons responsible for conducting our day-to-day operations. We will not benefit from the multiple judgments that a greater number of directors or officers may provide, and we rely completely upon the judgment of such people in making business decisions, with the assistance of our one independent director on matters which require the judgment of the Board of Directors. Chen Gao and Xin Yan Yuan shall serve as the management. Li Wei Gao shall serve only as a director, and shall not have any involvement in the day-to-day operations.
We may be subject to additional risks associated with doing business in foreign countries.
In the future, we may distribute products in foreign countries, and would then face significant additional business risks associated with doing business in those countries. In addition to the language barriers, different presentations of financial information, different business practices, and other cultural differences and barriers which may make it difficult to evaluate business decisions or transactions, ongoing business risks result from the international political situation, uncertain legal systems and applications of law, prejudice against foreigners, corrupt practices, uncertain economic policies and potential political and economic instability which may be exacerbated in various foreign countries. There can be no assurance that we would be able to enforce business contracts or protect our intellectual property rights in foreign countries.
In doing business in foreign countries we may also be subject to such risks, including, but not limited to, currency fluctuations, regulatory problems, punitive tariffs, unstable local tax policies, trade embargoes, expropriation, corporate and personal liability for violations of local laws, possible difficulties in collecting accounts receivable, increased costs of doing business in countries with limited infrastructure, risks related to shipment of raw materials and finished goods across national borders and cultural and language differences. We also may face competition from local companies which have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, and broader customer relationships and industry alliances in their local markets, and it may be difficult to operate profitably in some markets as a result of such competition. Foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the United States economy in growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, market development, rate of savings, and capital investment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments positions, and in other respects.
Our success depends upon key members of our management, the loss of any one or more of whom could disrupt our business operations.
We depend to a large extent on the services of our executive officers. The loss of services of Chen Gao or Xin Yan Yuan could disrupt our operations.
RISK FACTORS - continued
RISK FACTORS RELATED TO THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA ("PRC")
Substantially all of our assets are located in China and substantially all of our revenues are derived from our operations in China. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are subject, to a significant extent, to economic, political and legal developments in China.
The PRC's legal system and application of laws are uncertain which may impact our ability to enforce our agreements and may expose us to lawsuits.
We conduct most of our business in China, which utilizes a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which precedents set in earlier legal cases are not generally used. The overall effect of legislation enacted over the past 20 years has been to enhance 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 involves 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. In addition, all of our executive officers and directors are residents of China and not of the U.S. and substantially all of these persons are located outside the U.S. As a result, it could be difficult for investors to effect service of process in the U.S., or to enforce a judgment obtained in the U.S. against us or any of these persons.
Our business will be affected if we lose our land use rights.
There is no private ownership of land in China and all land ownership is held by the government of the PRC, its agencies and collectives. Land use rights can be obtained from the government for a period up to 70 years, and are typically renewable. Land use rights can be transferred upon approval by the land administrative authorities of the PRC (State Land Administration Bureau) upon payment of the required land transfer fee. We have received the necessary land use right certificate for our primary operating facilities, but we can give no assurance that our land use rights will be renewed on terms favorable to us or renewed at all.
We may be unable to fully comply with local and regional laws which may expose us to financial risk.
As is the case with all businesses operating in China, we are often required to comply with informal laws and trade practices imposed by local and regional government administrators. Local taxes and other charges are levied depending on the local needs for tax revenues and may not be predictable or evenly applied. These local and regional taxes/charges and governmentally imposed business practices often affect our cost of doing business and require us to constantly modify our business methods to both comply with these local rules and to lessen the financial impact and operational interference of such policies. In addition, it is often extremely burdensome for businesses to comply with some of the local and regional laws and regulations. At the moment, we believe we are in compliance with applicable local and regional laws, but there is no assurance that we will maintain compliance. Our failure to maintain compliance with the local laws may result in hefty fines and fees which may substantially impact our cash flow, cause substantial decrease in our revenues and may affect our ability to continue operation.
Various administrative agencies have informal rule enforcement that we may not be able to comply with.
While we have, to date, been able to operate within changing administratively imposed business practices and have otherwise been able to comply with the informal enforcement rules of the various administrative agencies, no assurance can be given that we will continue to be able to do so in the future. Should the local or regional governments or administrators impose new practices or levies that we cannot effectively respond to, or should the administrators suddenly commence enforcing those rules that they have not previously enforced, our operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely impacted. Our ability to appeal many of the local and regionally imposed law and regulations is limited, and we may not be able to seek adequate redress for laws that materially damage our business and affect our ability to continue operation.
RISK FACTORS - continued
RISK FACTORS RELATED TO THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA ("PRC") - continued
The Chinese judiciary is relatively inexperienced in enforcing the laws that exist which may expose us to costly litigation and uncertain outcomes.
Should we be exposed to litigation in the PRC, we may not be able to properly evaluate the possible outcomes. This may expose us to costly litigation. Furthermore, we may be exposed to potential inequitable judicial results. Either of these scenarios may result in failure to continue operation.
Currency fluctuations, while not presently ascertainable, may adversely affect our earnings.
Should we locate any major customer in the United States or elsewhere, as we intend to do, we will be subject to risks in currency fluctuations since all our products are manufactured in China. Fluctuations in exchange rates, primarily those involving the U.S. dollar, may affect our costs and operating margins which in turn, could affect our revenues. In addition, these fluctuations could result in exchange losses and increased costs.
Current vulnerability due to certain concentrations
BJTY and AMLF’s operations are substantially carried out in China.. Accordingly, AMTG’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in China, and by the general state of the China’s economy. AMTG’s operations in China are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
We may experience significant fluctuations in our operating results.
AMTG revenues and operating results may fluctuate due to a combination of factors, including, but not limited to, the extent that our technologies have gained acceptance and market share in their relevant markets, the cost involved in research and development of the products developed utilizing our technologies, and variations in the abundance and accessibility of raw materials. Consequently, it is highly uncertain what AMTG’s operating results will be in the near future. Revenues and operating results may also fluctuate based upon the number and extent of potential financing activities. Thus, there can be no assurance that MRAY or AMTG will be able to reach profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.
RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
We may be subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's "penny stock" rules if our Common Stock sells below $5.00 per share.
If the trading price of our Common Stock remains below $5.00 per share, trading in our securities may be subject to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules with respect to securities trading below $5.00, which are referred to as "penny stocks". These rules require the delivery prior to any transaction of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and all associated risks and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell "penny stocks" to persons other than established customers and accredited investors, which are generally defined as institutions or an investor individually or with their spouse, who has a net worth exceeding $1,000,000 or annual income, individually exceeding $200,000 or, with their spouse, exceeding $300,000. For these types of transactions the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our Common Stock, which could severely limit its market price and liquidity.
RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK - continued
Our Directors have the right to authorize the issuance of Preferred Stock.
Our directors, without further action by our shareholders, have the authority to issue shares of Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more series, and to fix the number of shares, the relative rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and any other preferences, special rights and qualifications of any such series. Any issuance of Preferred Stock could adversely affect the rights of holders of Common Stock and the value of such Common Stock.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains "forward-looking statements," as that term is used in federal securities laws, about our financial condition, results of operations and business. These statements include, among others:
o | statements concerning the benefits that we expect will result from our business activities and certain transactions that we have completed, such as increased revenues, decreased expenses and avoided expenses and expenditures; and |
o | statements of our expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies, anticipated developments and other matters that are not historical facts. |
These statements may be made expressly in this document or may be incorporated by reference to documents that we will file with the SEC. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates" or similar expressions used in this prospectus. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled "Risk Factors", that may cause our or our industry 's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. We caution you not to put undue reliance on these statements, which speak only as of the date of this Prospectus. Further, the information contained in this prospectus or incorporated herein by reference is a statement of our present intention and is based on present facts and assumptions, and may change at any time and without notice, based on changes in such facts or assumptions.
While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results. The safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 does not apply to the offering made in this prospectus.

PLAN OF OPERATION
ACQUISITION OF AMERICAN METAL TECHNOLOGY GROUP
As reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 29, 2007, and amended on Form 8-K/A on June 12, 2007, on May 22, 2007, the Company closed upon the purchase of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of American Metal Technology Group, a Nevada corporation (“AMTG”), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of November 6, 2006 (the “Agreement”), as first disclosed in an 8-K filing on January 10, 2007. AMTG is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Agreement, the Company transferred all of its assets owned immediately prior to the closing, including, but not limited to, the Klenz-Safe Cleaning Solution, the Hydrogen Production Technology and the Rotorcam Engine, and all liabilities associated with such assets, together with 10,000,000 shares of common stock, to Anthony Campo in consideration for the cancellation of indebtedness to him. Accordingly, immediately following the close of the Agreement, the Company’s sole asset is 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of AMTG.
Our Business
American Metal & Technology, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary American Metal Technology Group, a Nevada corporation (“AMTG”), and through AMTG’s subsidiaries, Beijing Tong Yuan Heng Feng Technology Co., Ltd. ("BJTY") and American Metal Technology (Lang Fang) Co., Ltd., ("AMLF"), primarily specializes in precision casting, machining, mold design and manufacturing in the People's Republic of China ("China"). We manufacture investment casting and machined products, including valves, pipe fittings, regulators, dispensers, machinery spare parts, marine hardware, water treatment parts, automotive and airplane accessories, and other equipment parts based upon blueprints supplied to us by our customers. We use a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, low alloy steel and aluminum. Our factory is certified with ISO9001 and ISO14001 standards.
Management believes there is significant room for expansion for AMTG and our subsidiaries in the metal casting and metal fabrication industry worldwide. We are in a multi-billion dollar metal casting industry. At least ninety percent of all manufactured goods contain one or more cast metal components. Metal castings components are integral in the U.S. transportation, energy, aerospace, manufacturing, and national defense.
Our Strategies
We are committed to the development of new manufacturing techniques, and to bring new and technological advanced metal fabricated products to the global market. Management believes that our future growth and profitability depend on our ability to maintain product quality, control production costs, increase production capacity, improve our marketing and distribution channels, increase product offerings, and to effectively react to market changes.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - continued
Capitalize on our cost structure and logistical advantages:
Our business objectives are to maintain current growth rate while expanding customer base both domestically and to the international market. When introducing our products and services to the international market, we hope to take advantage of the low overhead costs and inexpensive labor available in China based upon the location of our principal manufacturing facility in Beijing, and our future facilities in Hebei, China. In the event we are successful in attracting foreign customers, the close proximity of the factory complex to the Tianjin sea port, one of the main seaports in China, should provide us convenient transportation of our products to those foreign customers. There are, however, limitations in having all our manufacturing facility in China. There would be additional shipping, handling, and possible tariff costs associated with potential overseas customers. This may make finding international clients difficult as it would increase their overall costs.
Change our product line in response to market demand:
Our strategy is to respond to changes in market conditions by changing product lines respectively. Management believes the demand market is changing rapidly. In order for us to capture the most profitable products in the future, we plan to setup a professional market intelligence team to monitor and respond to market changes and reported to the management on a timely basis.
Maintain high product quality:
Management believes that identifying each customer's needs and efficiently addressing its needs are vital to maintaining a competitive advantage to the success of the business. Management believes that our commitment to services levels and attention to detail and quality has the effect of providing customers with a sense of confidence and security that their product requirements will be met and their products will be delivered on time. The factory complex in Beijing, China, at which we conducted all of our manufacturing operations, was designed paying particular attention to factory layout, cleanliness, incoming material control, in-process quality control, finished goods quality control and final quality examination.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $2,410,578, an increase of 14.97% as compared to $2,096,748 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $4,472,074, an increase of 16.68% as compared to $3,832,732 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Revenues increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 as a result of an increase from 30 CNC MAZAK lathes in 2006 to 40 CNC MAZAK lathes in 2007, which significantly increased our production capacity. With continued efforts in implementing our business plan to expand market share through continuous marketing and advertisement, we were able to fully utilize the new production capacity with new orders and customers.
Expenses from Operations
Total expenses, comprised mostly of general and administrative expenses and one-time expenses with respect to the first phase upgrade of the equipment at the manufacturing facility owned by our subsidiary American Metal Technology (Lang Fang) Co., Ltd., ("AMLF"), was approximately $285,926 for the three month period ended June 30, 2007, a net increase of $132,813 as compared to $153,113 for the three month period ended June 30, 2006.
Total expenses, comprised mostly of general and administrative expenses and one-time expenses with respect to the second phase upgrade of the equipment at the manufacturing facility owned by our subsidiary AMLF was approximately $554,332 for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, and $283,636 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. The increase in operating expenses of $270,696 was mainly due to increased depreciation and amortization cost from the new MAZAK lathes we purchased in 2007 and an increase in our workforce to operate on the new machines.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - continued

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 ‘Fair Value Measurements’. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)’ This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. However, an employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to disclose the following information in the notes to financial statements for a fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, but before June 16, 2007, unless it has applied the recognition provisions of this Statement in preparing those financial statements:
1. | A brief description of the provisions of this Statement |
2. | The date that adoption is required |
3. | The date the employer plans to adopt the recognition provisions of this Statement, if earlier. |
In February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject to specific requirements outlined in the new Statement. Therefore, calendar-year companies may be able to adopt FAS 159 for their first quarter 2007 financial statements.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies are identified and described in Note 2 to the financial statements. The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. AMTI continually evaluates its critical accounting policies and estimation procedures. Estimates are often based on historical experience and on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, but which could change in the future. Some of AMTI’s accounting policies and estimation procedures require the use of substantial judgment, and actual results could differ materially from the estimates underlying the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to our financial statements which are included in PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION of this Form SB 2.
In applying these policies, estimates and judgments affect the amounts at which accounts receivable, inventory, and certain liabilities are recorded and the useful lives of property and equipment. We apply our accounting policies on a consistent basis. Changes in circumstances are considered in our estimates and judgments. Future changes in circumstances could result in changes in amounts at which assets and liabilities are recorded. Future changes could also affect the estimated useful levels of property and equipment, which could result in changes in depreciation expense or write-offs or write downs of such assets.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - continued
Revenue Recognition. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletion (SAB) 104. . Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectibility is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue. The Company's revenue consists of invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). No product return or sales discount allowance is made as products delivered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable and sales discount is normally not granted after products are delivered.
Inventory. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value using weighted average method. Management compares the cost of inventory with the market value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its market value, if lower.
Income taxes. The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Current Business Operations - continued
We own and operate 40 LGMazak CNC lathes, 2 machining centers with 4 axis, CNC milling machine, laser sculptor, in-center grinding, with 2D Video Measurement, ultrasonic cleaning line and other high technology functions. CNC Lathes are manufactured by Yamazaki Mazak Corporation (Japan), a machine tool maker in Japan, which is a global manufacturer of CNC machine tools with operations in Japan, the US, England, and Singapore. We are able to manufacture parts between 0.003 - 35 kg in weight, +/- 1° of normal angle tolerance up to +/-0.5° of special angle tolerance and Ra1.6 - Ra 3.2° in surface roughness.
We have a dedicated management team with over fifty years of combined experience in the casting and metal fabrication industries. There are twenty (20) trained and skilled engineers among our two hundred and nineteen (219) full time employees.
We manufacture our products through a process called "Investment Casting Process", also called the "lost wax process" and through a process called "CNC Machining Process".
Overview of our Investment Casting Process
Investment casting, often called lost wax casting, is regarded as a precision casting process to fabricate near-net-shaped metal parts that could readily be put into their final form. The investment process can be performed from a variety of metal alloys such as stainless steels, carbon alloy steels, tool alloys, monel alloys, hastelly c alloys, nickel base alloys, cobalt base alloys, aluminum alloys and brass alloys. Although its history lies to a great extent in the production of art items such as statues, jewelry and etc., the most common use of investment casting in more recent history has been the production of components requiring complex, often thin-wall castings. Our investment casting process begins with the injection of high temperature melted wax into a ceramic shell mold to form a pattern. The formed pattern is based on customer's technical drawing and is within the same basic geometrical shape and dimension as the finished metal cast part. Because the pattern is made of wax, it can be melted away very easily. Once a wax pattern is produced, we then dip the pattern in a mixture of ceramic slurry. This would result in the pattern covered with sand stucco. We then allow it to dry. The dipping and stuccoing process is repeated until a shell of 6 to 8 mm (1/4 to 3/8 in) is formed.
Once the ceramic has dried, we would place the entire assembly in a steam autoclave to remove most of the wax. A steam autoclave is a piece of equipment that can produce pressurized high temperature steam in a closed chamber for melting wax. After autoclaving, the remaining amount of wax that soaked into the ceramic shell is burned out in a furnace. At this point, all of the residual wax pattern and material is removed, and the ceramic mold remains. Next, we would preheat the mold to a specific temperature and fill it with molten metal, creating the metal casting. Then, we will allow the metal casting to cool down. Once the metal casting has cooled and set, we'll remove the mold shell from the casting. At this point, the investment metal casting process is completed. The last step is to conduct qualification check and other tests, such as leakage inspections according to customer specification. Depending on the specific design requirements, we may need to perform CNC machining to bring the castings to their precise final form.
Overview of our CNC Machining Process
CNC stands for computer numerical control. CNC Machining is the process by which material is removed from a work-piece with Computer Numerical Control ("CNC") equipment that cuts away unwanted material. The CNC machining process is a versatile system that allows us to control the motion of tools and parts through computer programs that use numeric data. Machining is possible on virtually any material. Parts are machined directly from your 3D CAD models. 3D CAD (computer-aided design) refers to the use of computer systems to design detailed three-dimensional models of physical objects, such as mechanical parts, buildings, and molecules.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - continued
Overview of our CNC Machining Process - continued
The CNC machines in our facilities include machining centers (mills) and turning centers (lathes). CNC machining center is a numerically controlled computer mill that cuts metal with a multiple-tooth cutting tool called a milling cutter. The work-piece is fastened to the milling machine table and is fed against the revolving milling cutter. The work-piece can be fed to the milling cutter either horizontally or vertically. The milling cutters can have cutting teeth on the edge or sides or both. The cutting teeth can be straight or spiral. CNC turning center is a computer numerically controlled lathe with the capability to hold a number of cutting tools. The CNC turning center is designed to remove metal by moving cutting tools against a rotating work-piece. The work-piece is rotated around its axis and a cutting tool is fed parallel to the axis to create a cylinder or at right angles to the axis to create a face. The rotating work-piece can be either parallel or vertical to the floor.
Industry
Everyday tasks such as dialing on the telephone, turning on a light, starting an automobile, or using a computer would not be possible without metal casting components. Telephone equipment parts, the steel plate in light switches, automobile starters and many other automobile parts, metal hinges on desktop computers, or door handles, knots and taps, dispensers and regulators etc., are all made by using the investment casting process. The metal casting industry has been integral to the U.S. economic growth and has helped the U.S. to become the world benchmark in fields such as manufacturing, science, medicine, and aerospace. Nearly all manufactured goods and capital equipments contain one or more of the cast components or rely on casting components for their manufacture. The metal casting industry produces both simple and complex components of unlimited variety, whether they are produced once as a prototype or thousands of times for use in a manufactured product. In addition to producing components of larger products, foundries may also do machining, assembling, and coating of the castings. Major end-use applications for castings include automobiles and trucks, farm and construction equipment, railroads, pipes and fittings, valves, and engines.
The basic metals casting process consists of pouring or injecting molten metal into a mold or a die containing a cavity of the desired shape. The most commonly used method for small and medium-sized castings is green sand molding, accounting for approximately 60 percent of castings produced. Other methods, accounting for approximately 40 percent, include die casting, shell molding, permanent molding, investment casting, lost foam casting, and squeeze casting. Markets for metal castings are increasingly competitive and casting customers are placing greater emphasis on high-quality, competitively priced castings. Casting process must continually evolve and improve to remain completive in today's market place.
Markets for metal castings are increasingly competitive and casting customers are placing greater emphasis on high-quality, competitively priced castings. There is increasing demand for lighter-weight, high-strength ferrous and nonferrous cast metal components and castings that meet demanding design specifications. Casting processes must continually evolve and improve to remain competitive in today's marketplace.

Environmental Matters
China adopted its Environmental Protection Law in 1989, and the State Council and the State Environmental Protection Agency promulgate regulations as required from time to time. The Environmental Protection Law addresses issues relating to environmental quality, waste disposal and emissions, including air, water and noise emissions. Environmental regulations have not had a material impact on our results of operations. Our current production does not produce waste that requires to be delivered to a waste disposal site approved by the local government. We have not incurred any related cost. However, we expect that environmental standards and their enforcement in China will, as in many other countries, become more stringent over time, especially as technical advances make achievement of higher standards more feasible. We believe we are in compliance of this regulation and are not subject to enforcement of these rules.

The common stock is not convertible or redeemable and has no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. There are no cumulative voting rights.
The holders of outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available therefore at such times and in such amounts as our board of directors may from time to time determine. Holders of common stock will share equally on a per share basis in any dividend declared by the board of directors.

We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.0001. As of October 3, 2007, we have no preferred shares outstanding.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling securities holders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The selling securities holders may sell the shares from time to time:
— | in transactions on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or on any national securities exchange or U.S. inter-dealer system of a registered national securities association on which our common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; or |
— | in private transactions and transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; |
— | at prices related to prevailing market prices, or |
— | in negotiated transactions, or |
— | in a combination of these methods of sale; or |
— | any other method permitted by law. |
The Selling Shareholders may be deemed an underwriter. The Selling Shareholders may effect these transactions by offering and selling the shares directly to or through securities broker-dealers, and these broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling securities holders and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom these broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom the selling securities holders may sell as principal, or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions.
Any broker-dealers who act in connection with the sale of our shares will be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discounts, concessions or commissions received by them and profit on any resale of the shares as principal will be deemed to be underwriting discounts, concessions and commissions under the Securities Act.
On or prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement to which this prospectus is a part, we will advise the selling Shareholders that it and any securities broker-dealers or others who may be deemed to be statutory underwriters will be governed by the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act. Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act, any person engaged in a distribution of any of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable period under Regulation M prior to the commencement of this distribution. In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the selling security owner will be governed by the applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations hereunder, including without limitation Rules 10b-5 and Regulation M, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by the selling securities holders. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of our securities.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION - continued
On or prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement to which this prospectus is a part, we will advise the Selling Shareholders that the anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling security owner and any of their affiliates. We have informed the selling securities holders that it may not:
— | engage in any stabilization activity in connection with any of the shares; |
— | bid for or purchase any of the shares or any rights to acquire the shares, |
— | attempt to induce any person to purchase any of the shares or rights to acquire the shares other than as permitted under the Securities Exchange Act; or |
— | effect any sale or distribution of the shares until after the prospectus shall have been appropriately amended or supplemented, if required, to describe the terms of the sale or distribution. |
We have informed the Selling Shareholders that they must affect all sales of shares in broker’s transactions, through broker-dealers acting as agents, in transactions directly with market makers, or in privately negotiated transactions where no broker or other third party, other than the purchaser, is involved.
The Selling Shareholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Any commissions paid or any discounts or concessions allowed to any broker-dealers, and any profits received on the resale of shares, may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act if the broker-dealers purchase shares as principal.
Notwithstanding statements above, the maximum commission or discount to be received by any NASD member or independent broker/dealer will not be greater than eight (8) percent for the sale of any securities being registered pursuant to SEC Rule 415.
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
The Selling Shareholders may offer and sell, from time to time, any or all of the common stock registered pursuant to this Registration Statement. Because the Selling Shareholders may offer all or only some portion of the 426,104,020 shares of common stock to be registered, no estimate can be given as to the amount or percentage of these shares of common stock that will be held by the Selling Shareholders upon termination of the offering.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock by the Selling Shareholders as of September 28, 2007, and the number of shares of common stock covered by this prospectus.

AMERICAN METAL & TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES(FORMERLY MURRAY UNITED DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | Organization and description of business |
On June 1, 2007, American Metal & Technology, Inc. ( " AMTI " , "We" , "Us" , "Our" or the "Company" ) formally changed its name from Murray United Development Corporation to American Metal & Technology, Inc.
The Company was incorporated on October 13, 1987 under the laws of the State of Delaware. It was organized to further develop and exploit commercially certain technology for a rotary internal combustion engine that would utilize alternative fuels. The patent and related rights to the use of the technology have been assigned to the Company. These rights were subsequently assigned pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated November 6, 2006 discussed below.
The Company was in the development stage since inception until the closing of the transaction discussed in the next paragraph. Activities of the Company were limited to the acquisition of funds from the sale of its common stock; the acquisition of the licensing rights for and, subsequently, title to, the engine technology; research and development related to the development of an initial fuel-driven prototype of the engine.
The Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement on November 6, 2006 (the "Agreement") with American Metal Technology Group, a Nevada corporation (“AMTG"), pursuant to which the Company acquired one hundred (100%) percent of AMTG's outstanding common stock from the AMTG Stockholders and AMTG became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company in a two step reverse takeover transaction on May 22, 2007. In connection with this transaction, the Company issued 1,213,295,563 shares to the former stockholders and consultants of AMTG (1,142,388,273 shares to AMTG's former shareholders, including 20,000,000 shares of common stock issues to AMTG as investment upon completion of the due diligence period to the Agreement, and redistributed proportionally to AMTG's shareholders as of May 22, 2007, and 70,907,300 shares to AMTG's consultants). These shares represent more than eighty five (85%) of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of voting capital stock on a fully diluted basis, and therefore the former shareholders of AMTG and its consultants effectively have control of the Company. AMTG is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The exchange of shares with AMTG has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting since the shareholders AMTG obtained control of the consolidated entity. Accordingly, the merger of the two companies has been recorded as a recapitalization of AMTG, with AMTG being treated as the continuing entity. The historical financial statements presented herein are those of AMTG. The continuing company has retained December 31 as its fiscal year end.
Reflecting the change of ownership, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to change its name to American Metal & Technology, Inc., which became effective June 1, 2007.
The Company now through AMTG and its subsidiaries, Beijing Tong Yuan Heng Feng Technology Co., Ltd. and American Metal Technology (Lang Fang) Co., Ltd., is mainly in the business of manufacturing and sales of high-precision investment casting and metal fabrication products in the People's Republic of China ( "China" ). The Company's production involves high-precision investment casting and machined products, including valves, pipe fittings, etc. The Company uses a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, monel alloy, hastelloy alloy, and other various types of alloys. In 2006, AMTG via Beijing Tong Yuan Heng Feng Technology Co., Ltd., expanded its business to the design and manufacturing of electronic circuit boards and motion controllers for home appliances such as washing machines.
AMTG was incorporated on January 13, 2004 under the laws of the state of Nevada. On June 1, 2004 , AMTG entered into an equity purchase agreement with Beijing Sande Technology (Holding) Co., Ltd. ( "BST" ) to acquire 80% ownership of Beijing Tong Yuan Heng Feng Technology Co., Ltd. ( "BJTY" ). As a result, AMTG issued 7,200 shares of his pre-split common stock to BST in exchange for 80% ownership of BJTY. On August 2, 2004 , AMTG incorporated American Metal Technology (Lang Fang) Co., Ltd. ( "AMLF" ) in Hebei, China, for the purpose of expanding the production facility of BJTY. On August 8, 2004 , AMTG and AMLF together entered into an equity purchase agreement with Beijing Sande Shang Mao Co., Ltd. ( "BSS" ) for the remaining 20% of BJTY. As a result, AMTG which issued 1,800 shares of pre-split common stock to BSS and AMLF, becomes the owner of 20% shareholder of BJTY. AMTG later acquired the 20% ownership of BJTY from AMLF and owns 100% of BJTY. On November 12, 2004 , AMTG effectuated a forward split of all the outstanding shares of common stock on a 1,000 for 1 basis. On November 2005, AMTG sold 5% of BJTY to an unrelated party for $240,000. In 2006, AMTG raised $120,000 from an individual investor in a Reg S offering at $1 per share. AMTG received net $119,860 and issued 120,000 shares.

2. | Summary of significant accounting policies |
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future period. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The results of the six month period ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.
Principal of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of American Metal & Technology, Inc. reflect the activities of the following subsidiaries:
| Percentage Of Ownership | |
American Metal Technology (Lang Fang) Co., Ltd. | P.R.C. | 100 | % |
Beijing Tong Yuan Heng Feng (Technology) Co., Ltd. | P.R.C. | 95 | % |
Due to common management and ownership, the consolidated financial statements have been presented as if the Agreement and Plan of Merger of the subsidiaries occurred as of the December 31, 2006. The consolidated financial statements generally reflect only the activities of BJTY and AMLF at its historical cost. Because Murray United Development Corporation's financial statement is immaterial, no pro forma is presented.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those results.

Cash and cash equivalents
For Statement of Cash Flows purposes, the Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including accounts in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2007, cash and cash equivalent amounted to $1,956,188.
The Company's policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses for accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had accounts receivable of $1,653,879. The Company’s management has determined that there is no need of an allowance for bad debts as of June 30, 2007.
Advances to suppliers
The Company advances to certain vendors for the purchase of material. As of June 30, 2007, the advances to suppliers amounted to $120,416.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value using weighted average method. Management compares the cost of inventory with the market value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its market value, if lower.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The cost of improvements that extend the life of plant, property, and equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment, and fixtures. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets:

Building and improvements | 13-40 years | |
Machinery and equipments | 5-15 years | |
Vehicle | 12 years | |
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments.
The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, advances to suppliers, accounts payable, other payable, tax payable, and related party advances and borrowings.
As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented on the balance sheet. This is attributed to the short maturities of the instruments and that interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at respective balance sheet dates.
The Company applies the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("FAS No. 144"), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). FAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
The Company tests long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets subject to periodic amortization, for recoverability at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary. There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006.

Revenue recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 104. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectibility is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue. Unearned revenue as of June 30, 2007 amounted to $3,547.
The Company's revenue consists of invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). No product return or sales discount allowance is made as products delivered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable and sales discount is normally not granted after products are delivered.
Foreign currency translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The Company uses their local currency, Renminbi (RMB), as their functional currency. Results of operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders' equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.
Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity and amounted to $ 456,386 as of June 30, 2007.
The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, there was no significant book to tax differences.
Local PRC Income Tax
The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning subsidiaries located in PRC. Under the Income Tax Laws of the PRC, Chinese enterprises are generally subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 33% (30% state income taxes plus 3% local income taxes) on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. However, according to the Provisional Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Income Tax, the Company’s operating subsidiaries in China have been approved to be exempt from income tax for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

Local PRC Income Tax - continued
If the Company had not been exempt from paying income taxes during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, income tax expense would have been approximately $289,183 and $271,495, respectively, and earnings per share would have been reduced by $0.0002 and $0.0002, respectively.
The Company does not have any significant deferred tax asset or liabilities in the PRC tax jurisdiction.
Beginning January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) law will replace the existing laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DES”) and Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIEs”). The new standard EIT rate of 25% will replace the 33% rate currently applicable to both DES and FIEs. The two years tax exemption, three years 50% tax reduction tax holiday for production-oriented FIEs will be eliminated. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the new EIT law will have on its financial position.
Segment reporting
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" requires use of the "management approach" model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.
SFAS No. 131 has no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements as the Company operates in one reportable business segment - manufacture and marketing high-precision investment casting and metal fabrication products in China.
Statement of cash flows
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows," cash flows from the Company's operations is calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 ‘Fair Value Measurements’. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)’ This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. However, an employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to disclose the following information in the notes to financial statements for a fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, but before June 16, 2007, unless it has applied the recognition provisions of this Statement in preparing those financial statements:
1. | A brief description of the provisions of this Statement |
2. | The date that adoption is required |
3. | The date the employer plans to adopt the recognition provisions of this Statement, if earlier. |
The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject to specific requirements outlined in the new Statement. Therefore, calendar-year companies may be able to adopt FAS 159 for their first quarter 2007 financial statements.
The new Statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item's fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.

AMERICAN METAL TECHNOLOGY GROUP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | Organization and description of business |
American Metal Technology Group, a Nevada corporation, ("AMTG", "We", "Us", "Our" or the "Company") via its subsidiaries, Beijing Tong Yuan Heng Feng Technology Co., Ltd. and American Metal Technology (Lang Fang) Co., Ltd., is majorly in the business of manufacturing and sales of high-precision investment casting and metal fabrication products in the People's Republic of China ("China"). The Company's production involves high-precision investment casting and machined products, including valves, pipe fittings, etc. The Company uses a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, monel alloy, hastelloy alloy, and other various types of alloys. In 2006, AMTG via Beijing Tong Yuan Heng Feng Technology Co., Ltd., expanded its business to the design and manufacturing of electronic circuit boards and motion controllers for home appliances such as washing machines.
We were incorporated on January 13, 2004 under the laws of the state of Nevada. Our principal executive office is located at 633W. 5th Street, 26th Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90071. On June 1, 2004, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement with Beijing Sande Technology (Holding) Co., Ltd. ("BST") to acquire 80% ownership of Beijing Tong Yuan Heng Feng Technology Co., Ltd. ("BJTY"). As a result, we issued 7,200 shares of our pre-split common stock to BST in exchange for 80% ownership of BJTY. On August 2, 2004, the Company incorporated American Metal Technology (Lang Fang) Co., Ltd. ("AMLF") in Hebei, China, for the purpose of expanding the production facility of BJTY. On August 8, 2004, the Company and AMLF together entered into an equity purchase agreement with Beijing Sande Shang Mao Co., Ltd. ("BSS") for the remaining 20% of BJTY. As a result, we issued 1,800 shares of our pre-split common stock to BSS and our subsidiary, AMLF, becomes the owner of 20% shareholder of BJTY. AMTG later acquired the 20% ownership of BJTY from AMLF and owns 100% of BJTY. On November 12, 2004, the Company effectuated a forward split of all the outstanding shares of common stock on a 1,000 for 1 basis. On November 2005, the Company sold 5% of BJTY to an unrelated party for $240,000. In 2006, AMTG raised $120,000 from an individual investor in a Reg S offering at $1 per share. The investor wired over $120,000. AMTG received net $119,860 and issued 120,000 shares.

2. | Summary of significant accounting policies - continued |
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those results.
Cash and cash equivalents
For Statement of Cash Flows purposes, the Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including accounts in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2006, cash and cash equivalent amounted to $787,444.
Accounts receivable
The Company's policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses for accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had accounts receivable of $908,694. The Company’s management has determined that there is no need of allowance for bad debts as of December 31, 2006.
Advances to suppliers
The Company advances to certain vendors for the purchase of material. As of December 31, 2006, the advances to suppliers amounted to $649,394.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value using weighted average method. Management compares the cost of inventory with the market value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its market value, if lower.

Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The cost of improvements that extend the life of plant, property, and equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment, and fixtures. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets:
| Estimated |
| Useful Life |
Building and improvements | 13-40 years |
Machinery and equipments | 5-15 years |
Vehicle | 12 years |
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments.
The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, advances to suppliers, accounts payable, other payable, tax payable, and related party advances and borrowings.
As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented on the balance sheet. This is attributed to the short maturities of the instruments and that interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at respective balance sheet dates.
Impairment
The Company applies the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("FAS No. 144"), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). FAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
The Company tests long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets subject to periodic amortization, for recoverability at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary. There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Revenue recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 104. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectibility is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue. Unearned revenue as of December 31, 2006 amounted to $2,333.
The Company's revenue consists of invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). No product return or sales discount allowance is made as products delivered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable and sales discount is normally not granted after products are delivered.
Foreign currency translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The Company uses their local currency, Renminbi (RMB), as their functional currency. Results of operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders' equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.
Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity and amounted to $264,014 as of December 31, 2006.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
The Company records a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, if any, based on its estimates of its future taxable income as well as its tax planning strategies when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. If the Company is able to utilize more of its deferred tax assets than the net amount previously recorded when unanticipated events occur, an adjustment to deferred tax assets would increase the Company net income when those events occur. The Company did not have any operation in the United States and therefore, had no tax liability during the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Local PRC Income Tax
The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning subsidiaries located in PRC. Under the Income Tax Laws of the PRC, Chinese enterprises are generally subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 33% (30% state income taxes plus 3% local income taxes) on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. However, according to the Provisional Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Income Tax, the Company’s operating subsidiaries in China have been approved to be exempt from income tax for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.
If the Company had not been exempt from paying income taxes during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, income tax expense would have been approximately $517,000 and $476,000, respectively, and earnings per share would have been reduced by $0.06 and $0.04, respectively.
The Company does not have any significant deferred tax asset or liabilities in the PRC tax jurisdiction.
Segment reporting
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" requires use of the "management approach" model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.
SFAS No. 131 has no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements as the Company operates in one reportable business segment - manufacture and marketing high-precision investment casting and metal fabrication products in China.
Statement of cash flows
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows," cash flows from the Company's operations is calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments". SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", and SFAF No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". SFAS No. 155, permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interest in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, and amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on the qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the Company's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2006 FASB issued SFAS 156 'Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets' this Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement:
1. | Requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract. |
2. | Requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. |
3. | Permits an entity to choose 'Amortization method' or Fair value measurement method' for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. |
4. | At its initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity's exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value. |
5. | Requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. An entity should adopt this Statement as of the beginning of its first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Management believes that this statement will not have a significant impact on the financial statement. |
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 ‘Fair Value Measurements’. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)’ This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. However, an employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to disclose the following information in the notes to financial statements for a fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, but before June 16, 2007, unless it has applied the recognition provisions of this Statement in preparing those financial statements:
1. | A brief description of the provisions of this Statement |
2. | The date that adoption is required |
3. | The date the employer plans to adopt the recognition provisions of this Statement, if earlier. |
The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject to specific requirements outlined in the new Statement. Therefore, calendar-year companies may be able to adopt FAS 159 for their first quarter 2007 financial statements.
The new Statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item's fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.
Notes receivable amounted to $155,597 as of December 31, 2006. The notes receivable are due from an unrelated party, current, unsecured, and interest free. These notes were collected by February 2007.
Other receivable amounted to $9,068 as of December 31, 2006. Other receivable includes approximately $5,700 receivable from unrelated party and approximately $3,368 travel advances to employees. The other receivables are all from unrelated parties, due on demand, and interest free.

11. | Current vulnerability due to certain concentrations |
BJTY and AMLF’s operations are all carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC's economy.
The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
Major customers and major vendors
One major customer accounted for 78% of the net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006. The Company had approximately $385,000 accounts receivable from the customer as of December 31, 2006. Two major customers accounted for 100% of the net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2005 with each customer individually accounting for 88% and 12%.

The amounts of $83,177 and $5,521, as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, represent the 5% shareholder interest in BJTY.
13. | Gain on disposal of investment |
On November 2005, the Company sold 5% of BJTY to an unrelated party for $240,000. Net value of the asset of BJTY sold at the time of disposal is $199,351. Gain of disposal of 5% subsidiary is $40,649. Gain on disposal of investment has been reflected as other income, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Company and the stockholders of the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of November 6, 2006 (the "Agreement") with Murray United Development Corp., a Delaware corporation (“MUDC"), pursuant to which MUDC will acquire one hundred (100%) percent of AMTG's outstanding common stock from the AMTG Stockholders and AMTG will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of MUDC in a two step reverse takeover transaction.
The Agreement provides that in the first step of the transaction, MUDC shall acquire an equity only investment in AMTG pursuant to which, MUDC shall issue 20,000,000 shares of its common stock to AMTG (a 9.32% equity ownership interest in MUDC) in exchange for AMTG issuing 180,254 shares of its common stock to MUDC (a 1.75% equity ownership interest in AMTG)(the "Investment"). If the transaction fails to close for any reason, then the investment shall be rescinded. The investment transaction was completed in February 2007.
The Agreement provides that in the second step and upon closing the transaction, 1,213,295,563 shares will be issued to the stockholders and consultants of AMTG who would then own 85.57% of the total outstanding shares of common stock of MUDC on a fully diluted basis, and existing stockholders of MUDC will own 173,252,434 shares or 12.22% of the shares of common stock of MUDC on a fully diluted basis. The second step is conditioned upon the delivery of audited US GAAP financial statements for the past two fiscal years by the Company to MUDC.
As a result of the merger, the stockholders of AMTG will own approximately 100% of the combined entity. Accordingly, the merger will be accounted for as reverse acquisition of the public shell by AMTG and would result in a recapitalization of AMTG in a manner similar to the pooling of interest method.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. Depending on the character of the proceeding, a corporation may indemnify against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful. If the person indemnified is not wholly successful in such action, suit or proceeding, but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such proceeding, such person may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. In the case of an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that despite the adjudication of liability but in the view of all the circumstances of the case such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper. Section 145 provides that to the extent a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides that a director of the Company will not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Bylaws of the Company provide that each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company (which term includes any predecessor corporation of the Company) or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, will be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith and such indemnification will inure to the benefit of the indemnity's heirs, executors and administrators.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
On May 22, 2007, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of November 6, 2006 (the “Agreement”) with American Metal Technology Group, a Nevada corporation (“AMTG”), as reported on Form 8-K filed on January 10, 2007, the Company issued 1,213,295,563 shares to the stockholders and consultants of AMTG (1,142,388,273 shares to AMTG’s former shareholders, including 20,000,000 shares of common stock issued to AMTG as investment upon completion of the due diligence period pursuant to the Agreement, and redistributed proportionally to AMTG’s shareholder on May 22, 2007, and 70,907,300 shares to AMTG’s consultants). These shares represent more than eighty five (85%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of voting capital stock on a fully diluted basis, and therefore the former shareholders of AMTG and its consultants effectively have control of the Company. AMTG is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The shares issued were issued without registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for U.S. investors, or pursuant to Regulation S for all non-U.S. investors, and are therefore "restricted" securities. Such shares may not therefore be transferred without either the registration of such shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission or an exemption from such registration requirements pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In addition and also pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, on May 22, 2007 the Company issued 10,000,000 shares to Anthony Campo, in partial consideration for the cancellation of indebtedness to him. The shares issued to Mr. Campo were issued without registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and are therefore "restricted" securities. Such shares may not therefore be transferred without either the registration of such shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission or an exemption from such registration requirements pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Pursuant to a private placement conducted in accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company raised $3,276,507 through the issuance of 163,825,350 shares of common stock at $.02 per share. The offering closed on August 3, 2007. The proceeds of the offering were distributed as follows: (i) $2,500,000 million was distributed to the Company’s subsidiary company AMLF to engage in second phase construction to upgrade manufacturing equipment; (ii) $600,000 was distributed to our creditors in partial repayment of indebtedness; and (iii) the balance of $176,507 for general working capital.

UNDERTAKINGS
A. | The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: |
(1) | File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to: |
| (i) | to include any prospectus required by section 10 (a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933: |
| (ii) | reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement. |
| (iii) | include any additional or changed material information on the plan of. |
(2) | For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering. |
(3) | File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering. |
(4) | For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
| (i) | any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
| (ii) | any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer; |
| (iii) | the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and |

UNDERTAKINGS - continued
(d) Equity Offerings of Non-reporting Registrant. The small business issuer will provide the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
(e) Request for Acceleration of Effective Date. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(f) Reliance on Rule 430A. The small business issuer hereby undertakes that it will:
| (1) | for determining any liability under the Act, treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Act as part of this registration statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective; and |
| (2) | for determining any liability under the Act, treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and the offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities. |
(5) | Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
