Part II

Item 9A - Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Control and Procedures 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at December 31, 2007.
 
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act.

1

Our management under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer has conducted an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making its assessment, management used the criteria described in Internal Control Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2007.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

A significant deficiency is a deficiency,  or a combination of deficiencies,  in internal  control over  financial  reporting that is less severe than a material weakness,  yet  important  enough to merit  attention by those  responsible  for oversight  of the  company's  financial  reporting.  The  following  significant deficiencies have been identified and included in our management's assessment as of December 31, 2007:
 
     1)   We did not engage an Audit Committee to oversee the  effectiveness  of  the system of internal control in every process. An effective Board of  Directors and Audit Committee and other corporate governance functions  will  play an  extremely  important  oversight  role  in the  internal  control system.  If there is no Audit Committee or the Audit Committee  does not  function  comprehensively  and  proactively,  there might be  reasonable   possibility   that  the  significant   internal   control   deficiencies cannot be detected or prevented.
 
     2)   We did not maintain  effective controls internal audit function due to the lack of qualified internal auditors who are familiar with internal audit  and US  GAAP,  and we did not  implement  adequate  and  proper  supervisory  review to ensure that the  significant  internal  control  deficiencies can be detected or prevented.
 
     3)   We did not maintain  effective  controls over the financial  reporting processes due to an insufficient complement of internal personnel with a level  of  accounting  knowledge,  experience  and  training  in the application of U.S. GAAP commensurate with our financial requirements.   For example,  we did not maintain  effective  controls over accounting  for deferred taxes under U.S. GAAP.
 
Our management  believes that these internal  control  deficiencies  result in a material  weakness.  This  material  weakness  had not been  fully  remedied  by December 31, 2007. Never the less, based upon a number of factors, including our plan for  remediation  (as  described  below) and other  procedures  designed to assist  us  in  ensuring  the  reliability  of  our  financial  statements,  our management believes that the consolidated  financial  statements included in the Annual  Report on Form  10-KSB  fairly  state,  in all  material  respects,  our financial  condition, results  of  operations  and cash  flows  for the  periods presented in conformity  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles in the
United States of America.

To remediate the significant  internal control  deficiencies  described above in "Management's  Report on Internal  Control over  Financial  Reporting",  we have implemented or plan to implement the measures described below, and will continue to evaluate and may in the future implement additional measures.
 
We have planned  remediation  measures of hiring and training of personnel which are intended to generally  address these  significant  deficiencies  by ensuring that we will have sufficient  personnel with knowledge,  experience and training in the  application  of U.S.  GAAP  commensurate  with our  financial  reporting requirements. These measures include the following:
 
     1)   We  appointed  3  independent  directors,  on  February  1,  2008,  to establish an effective Audit  Committee,  together with setting up the relevant procedures and working plans;
 
     2)   We will continue to hire external U.S.  accountant at the beginning of 2008 with relevant accounting experience,  skills and knowledge in the preparation of financial  statements  under the  requirements  of U.S. GAAP and financial  reporting  disclosure under the requirement of SEC rules; We also plan to train up our staff internally;
 
     3)   We plan to hire an internal  auditor to implement  the internal  audit function,   and  plan  to  train  our  accounting   personnel  in  the application  of U.S. GAAP  commensurate  with our financial  reporting requirements;
 
     4)   We plan to improve our written  policies  and  procedures,  as well as amend and  supplement  the  existing  code of  conduct  to ensure  the compliance with Section 406 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and  

     5)   We retained  and intend to continue to retain the  services of outside counselors to advise us on the SEC disclosure requirements.

2


We  believe  that we are  taking  the steps  necessary  for  remediation  of the significant  deficiencies  identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness  of these steps and to make any changes that our management  deems appropriate. 

The management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting was not subject to auditor attestation as of December, 31 2007 pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, this Annual Report does not include an attestation report by our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
