Overview of Our Business



China Security & Surveillance Technology, Inc. is a Delaware holding company whose China-based operating subsidiaries are primarily engaged in manufacturing, distributing, installing and servicing security and surveillance products and systems and developing security and surveillance related software in China. Our customers are mainly comprised of (i) commercial entities (including airports, hotels, real estate, banks, mines, railways, supermarkets and entertainment venues); (ii) governmental entities (including customs agencies, courts, public security bureaus and prisons), and (iii) non-profit organizations (including schools, museums, sports arenas and libraries). These account for approximately 55%, 44% and 1% of our revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.



Our sales network covers most of Chinas populated areas and we do not rely on any particular region for our business. Our subsidiaries collectively have more than 150 branch offices and distribution points.

Second Quarter Financial Performance Highlights



We continued to experience strong demand for our products and services during the second fiscal quarter of 2008 and growth in our revenues and net income. The security and surveillance product market in China continued to expand in the second quarter of 2008 due, in part, to several programs and regulatory drivers initiated by the Chinese government, such as State Ordinance 458 and the Safe City program, which require many public places, including city-wide surveillance systems, traffic conjunctions, critical government locations, cyber cafés, bars and discotheques, to install security systems. In addition, the economic development in China and the fact that the population in China in general is becoming relatively wealthier also contributed to increased demand for security and surveillance products within various industries and organizations, such as residential estates, factories and shopping centers. Our second fiscal quarter financial results also benefited from the consolidation of the three newly acquired companies, which contributed approximately $11.0 million revenues in aggregate, accounting for approximately 11.9% of the total revenues of the second fiscal quarter of 2008.



The following are some financial highlights for the second quarter of 2008:



·

Revenues: Revenues increased $40.61 million, or 77.9%, to $92.74 million for the second quarter of 2008, from $52.13 million for the same quarter of last year.

·

Gross margin: Gross margin was 32.8% for the second quarter of 2008, compared to 28.6% for the same period in 2007.

·

Income from operations: Income from operations increased $4.60 million, or 47.7%, to $14.25 million for the second quarter of 2008, from $9.65 million for the same period last year.

·

Operating margin: Operating margin (the ratio of income from operations to revenues, expressed as a percentage) was 15.4% for the second quarter of 2008, compared to 18.5% during the same period in 2007.

·

Net income: Net income increased $3.47 million, or 81.3%, to $7.74 million for the second quarter of 2008, from $4.27 million for the same period of last year.

·

Net margin: Net margin (the ratio of net income to revenues, expressed as a percentage) was 8.3% for the second quarter of 2008, compared to 8.2% for the same period in 2007.

·

Fully diluted net income per share: Fully diluted net income per share was $0.17 for the second quarter of 2008, as compared to $0.11 for the same period last year.

·

Non-cash items: Non-cash items included (i) the redemption accretion on convertible notes was $4.36 million for the second quarter of 2008, as compared to $3.82 million for the same period last year, (ii) depreciation and amortization was $2.33 million for the second quarter of 2008, as compared to $1.08 million for the same period last year, and (iii) non-cash employee compensation expense was $3.11 million for the second quarter of 2008, as compared to $0.80 million for the same period last year. Total non-cash items are $9.80 million for the second quarter of 2008, an increase of $4.10 million, or 71.9%, from $5.70 million for the same period last year.



Our net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $7.74 million and $4.27 million, respectively. Our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $12.23 million and $8.80 million, respectively. Our net income was materially impacted by depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets in the subsidiaries we acquired, non-cash employee compensation recognized pursuant to SFAS 123 (R) and redemption accretion on convertible notes. In the table below, we have presented a non-GAAP financial disclosure to provide a quantitative analysis of the impact of the depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets in the subsidiaries we acquired, non-cash employee compensation and redemption accretion on convertible notes on our net income. Because these items do not require the use of current assets, management does not include these items in its analysis of our financial results or how we allocate our resources. Because of this, we deemed it meaningful to provide this non-GAAP disclosure of the impact of these significant items on our financial results.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007



Revenues.



Our revenues are generated from system installations and manufacturing and distribution of security and safety products. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we experienced solid growth in revenues. Revenues increased $40.61 million, or 77.9%, to $92.74 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $52.13 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in revenues was mainly attributable to growth in the security and surveillance market in China, the increased market demand for our products, our increased brand recognition and the acquisition of three companies in the second quarter of 2008. Our strategic efforts to increase our distribution channels during 2005 and 2006 and sufficient working capital from our recent fundraising activities also allowed us to successfully take advantage of the growth in market demand in the second quarter of 2008.



After Stonesonic, Longhorn and Guanling became our wholly owned subsidiaries in April 2008, we consolidated the financial results of these three companies beginning in the second quarter of 2008, which contributed $4.23 million, $3.26 million, and $3.49 million to our revenues in the second quarter of 2008. We consolidated the financial results of Hongtianzhi, HiEasy, Minking and Tsingvision from the second and third quarters of 2007 and Cheng Feng starting from the third quarter of 2006. Hongtianzhi, HiEasy, Minking and Tsingvision had revenues of $5.27 million, $2.80 million, $4.80 million and $0.37 million in the second quarter of 2008. As Cheng Fengs acquisition has surpassed the one year anniversary, we have included these revenues in our organic growth since the fourth quarter of 2007. Cheng Feng had revenues of $6.73 million in the second quarter of 2008.

(1) We have conservatively not included letters of intent, framework agreements and various other agreements in our backlog numbers as they are subject to final binding agreements to be entered into at later dates.



Our revenues are generated from three business segments: Installation Segment, Manufacturing Segment and Distribution Segment. The following table shows the different segments comprising our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.



All amounts, except percentage of revenues, in millions of U.S. dollars



|                      |  | Three months ended June 30,
|--------------------- |  | ---------------------------
|Revenues              |  | 2008                       
|Installation Segment  |  | $                          
|Manufacturing Segment |  |                            
|Distribution Segment  |  |                            
|Total                 |  | $                          



For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, our Installation Segment generated revenues of $62.15 million and $39.37 million which represented 67.0% and 75.5% of our total revenues, respectively.  Such increase in revenues was mainly due to the following factors: First, demand for security and surveillance products has grown in China, which we attribute in part to the population in China in general becoming relatively wealthier; as well as increased demand within various industries and organizations, such as residential estates, factories and shopping centers; Second, the Chinese government initiated several programs and regulatory drivers during 2006, such as State Ordinance 458 and the 3111 program, that require many public places, including city-wide surveillance systems, traffic surveillance systems, critical government locations, cyber cafés, bars and discotheques, to install security systems; Third, our strategic efforts to increase our distribution channels during 2007 and 2008 allowed us to successfully take advantage of the growth in market demand in the second quarter of 2008; Fourth, we have been successful in raising sufficient working capital to facilitate expansion in the China market; Finally, our increased brand recognition in 2008 also contributed to the growth in sales revenue.



For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, our Manufacturing Segment generated revenues of $20.36 million and $12.76 million, representing 22% and 24.5% of our total revenues, respectively.  Such increase in revenues was mainly attributed to the acquisition of Stonesonic and Longhorn and organic growth in the Manufacturing Segment.



In the first quarter of 2008, we established a new segment  Distribution Segment, which generated revenues of $10.23 million, representing 11% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008.



Management believes that revenues from the Installation Segment will continue to be the Companys major revenue source in the next a few years. With the recent acquisitions of Stoneonic, Longhorn and Guanling and other planned acquisitions, management believes that the percentage of revenues from the Manufacturing Segment and the Distribution Segment will increase in the future.



Management expects growth in all three segments to remain strong in the remainder of 2008 due to (i) continued growth in the security and surveillance market both within the corporate and government sectors, (ii) better capitalization of the Company to fuel its growth, (iii) continued enhancement  of our branding and profiling in China, and (iv) an acquisition strategy intended to boost our market share and competitiveness.

Cost of goods sold



Our cost of goods sold is primarily comprised of the costs of our raw materials, labor and overhead. Cost of goods sold for the second quarter of 2008 increased by 67.2% to $62.28 million, as compared to $37.23 million for the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to the reasons as described below.



Gross profit and gross margin



Our gross profit is equal to the difference between our revenues and our cost of goods sold. Our gross profit increased $15.56 million, or 104.4%, to $30.46 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, from $14.90 million for the same period last year. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 32.8%, as compared to 28.6% for the same period of 2007.  The increase in our gross margin was primarily driven by the cost savings derived from the increase in economies of scale.



The following table shows the different segment components comprising our gross profit margin over the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.



|                      |  | Three months ended June 30,
|--------------------- |  | ---------------------------
|Gross Margin          |  | 2008                       
|Installation Segment  |  |                            
|Manufacturing Segment |  |                            
|Distribution Segment  |  |                            
|Total                 |  |                            



For the three months ended June 30, 2008, gross margins of the Installation Segment and Manufacturing Segment were approximately 34.0% and 35.0%, respectively, compared to 27.8% and 31.0% for the same period last year. Gross margin of our newly established Distribution Segment was 21.6% in the second quarter of 2008. The gross margin of the Installation Segment increased because as the scale of our projects increased, our margin for those projects increased.  The increase in our gross margin of Manufacturing Segment was primarily driven by increased economies of scale. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, gross margin of the Distribution Segment was 21.6%.



Selling and marketing expenses



Our selling and marketing expenses are comprised primarily of sales commissions, the cost of advertising and promotional materials, salaries and fringe benefits of sales personnel, after-sale support services and other sales related costs. Our selling and marketing expenses increased $2.13 million, or 247.7%, to $2.99 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $0.86 million for the same period in 2007. This dollar increase was primarily attributable to the consolidation of the financial results of Tsingvision, Stonesonic, Longhorn and Guanling which incurred selling and marketing expenses associated with sales of their products. As a percentage of revenues, our selling and marketing expenses increased to 3.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from 1.6% for the same period in 2007. The percentage increase was mainly due to the hiring of additional staff and increased cost in promotion of our products to new customers.



General and administrative expenses



General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits to our general management, finance and administrative staff, professional advisor fees, audit fees and other expenses incurred in connection with general operation. Our general and administrative expenses increased $5.47 million, or 217.9%, to $7.98 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $2.51 million for the same period in 2007. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 8.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from 4.8% for the same period in 2007. The dollar and percentage increase was mainly due to the consolidation of the financial results of Stonesonic, Longhorn and Guanling, the hiring of additional staff, the increased costs in connection with improving our internal controls and professional expenses related to the costs of these newly acquired subsidiaries became part of a public reporting company.

Non-cash employee compensation



Effective February 7, 2007, our board of directors adopted our 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan). The Plan was subsequently amended and approved by the Companys stockholders in February 2008. The Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance units, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance shares. A total of 8,000,000 shares of our common stock may be issued under the Plan. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we granted an aggregate of 317,501 shares of restricted stock pursuant to the Plan to our employees and consultants. These shares will vest with respect to each of the employees and consultants over a period of four years.



Non-cash employee compensation for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased to $3.11 million from $0.80 million for the same period in 2007, primarily because we granted more shares of restricted stock under the Plan in the second quarter of 2008.



Depreciation and amortization



Our depreciation and amortization costs increased $1.25 million, or 115.7%, to $2.33 million (including $0.20 million depreciation and amortization costs included under cost of goods sold) for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $1.08 million for the same period in 2007. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization expenses increased to 2.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from 2.1% for the same period in 2007. Such dollar and percentage increase was primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets from the acquisition of Tsingvision, Stonesonic, Longhorn, and Guanling and the establishment of exclusive cooperation relationship with DM.



Income from operations



Our income from operations increased $4.60 million, or 47.7%, to $14.25 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $9.65 million for the same period in 2007. As a percentage of revenues, income from operations decreased to 15.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from 18.5% for the same period in 2007. Such percentage decrease was primarily due to the increase of our selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses and non-cash employee compensation as discussed above.



The following table shows the different segments comprising our income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.



All amounts, except percentage of income from operations, in millions of U.S. dollars



|                       |  | Three months ended June 30,
|---------------------- |  | ---------------------------
|Income from operations |  | 2008                       
|Installation Segment   |  | $                          
|Manufacturing Segment  |  |                            
|Distribution Segment   |  |                            
|Corporate and others   |  |                            
|Total                  |  | $                          



Income from operations related to the Installation Segment increased 96.1%, or $8.60 million to $17.55 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $8.95 million for the same period in 2007. Such increase was mainly due to higher demand of total one-stop-shop installations from customers. We finished more projects than we planned in the second quarter of 2008.



Income from operations related to the Manufacturing Segment increased
1.9%, or $0.04 million to $2.17 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to income from operations of $2.13 million for the same period in 2007.  Our acquisitions in the second quarters of 2007 and 2008 greatly increased our sales of manufactured products.  However,  during the three months ended June 30, 2008, our Manufacturing Segment hired additional staff to meet the anticipated growth of the Manufacturing Segment which largely offset the growth in revenues.  We expect that the Manufacturing Segment margin will continue to increase as we integrate the recently completed acquisitions which will allow us to further benefit from economies of scale.



Loss from operations related to our new Distribution Segment, which was still under development, was $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008.



Loss from operations related to the Corporate and others increased 268.5% or $3.84 million to $5.27 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $1.43 million for the same period in 2007. Such increase was mainly due to the increase of non-cash compensation as discussed above and professional expenses related to the costs of being a public reporting company.

Other income



Our other income decreased $0.07 million, or 14.3% to $0.42 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $0.49 million for the same period in 2007. As a percentage of revenues, other income decreased to 0.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from 0.9% for the same period in 2007. Such percentage decrease was primarily because we did not receive any rental income from related parties in the second quarter of 2008.  Those rental properties were disposed of in 2007.



Interest expense (excluding redemption accretion on convertible notes)



During the second quarter of 2008, we had two bank loans from local Chinese banks outstanding and incurred a total interest expense of $0.42 million, as compared to $0.29 million for the same period in 2007. For the convertible notes, we paid $0.28 million interest during the three months ended June 30, 2008.



Redemption accretion on convertible notes



Redemption accretion on convertible notes for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $4.36 million, as compared to $3.81 million for the same period in 2007. We raised $110 million from the issuance of convertible notes in February and April 2007 to finance our acquisitions. The redemption accretion on convertible notes will not be repaid if the convertible notes are converted into shares of our common stock before their respective maturities.



Income before taxes



Our income before taxes increased $3.85 million, or 63.7%, to $9.89 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $6.04 million for the same period in 2007. As a percentage of revenues, income before taxes decreased to 10.7% from 11.6% for the same period in 2007. Such percentage decrease was primarily due to increased non-cash expenses, including the redemption accretion on convertible notes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash employee compensation as discussed above.



Income Taxes



China Security & Surveillance Technology, Inc. is subject to United States federal income tax at a tax rate of 34%. No provision for income taxes in the United States has been made as China Security & Surveillance Technology, Inc. had no United States taxable income during the three months ended June 30, 2008.



Our wholly owned subsidiary Safetech was incorporated in the British Virgin Island and, under the current laws of the BVI, is not subject to income taxes.



Before January 1, 2008, foreign invested enterprises (FIEs) established in the PRC were generally subject to an enterprise income tax (EIT) rate of 33.0%, which included a 30.0% state income tax and a 3.0% local income tax. FIEs established in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, such as our Chinese subsidiaries Golden and other high-technology subsidiaries, were subject to a reduced tax rate. On March 16, 2007, the National People's Congress of China passed the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (EIT Law), and on November 28, 2007, the State Council of China passed the Implementing Rules for the EIT Law ("Implementing Rules") which took effect on January 1, 2008. The EIT Law and Implementing Rules impose a unified EIT of 25.0% on all domestic-invested enterprises and FIEs, unless they qualify under certain limited exceptions. Therefore, beginning January 1, 2008, nearly all FIEs and other domestic businesses are subject to the new tax rate rather than benefiting from the foreign enterprise income tax and its associated preferential tax treatments.



Despite these pending changes, the EIT Law gives the FIEs established before March 16, 2007 (Old FIEs) a five-year grandfather period during which they can continue to enjoy their existing preferential tax treatments. During this five-year grandfather period, the Old FIEs which enjoyed tax rates lower than 25% under the original EIT Law shall gradually increase their EIT rate by 2% per year until the tax rate reaches 25%. In addition, the Old FIEs that are eligible for the two-year exemption and three-year 50% tax reduction or five-year exemption and five-year 50% tax reduction under the original EIT Law, are allowed to continue their preference until these holidays expire.



In addition to the changes to the current tax structure, under the EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with de facto management bodies within China is considered a resident enterprise and will normally be subject to an EIT of 25.0% on its global income. The Implementing Rules define the term de facto management bodies as an establishment that exercises, in substance, overall management and control over the production, business, personnel, accounting, etc., of a Chinese enterprise. If the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that the Company should be classified as a resident enterprise, the organization's global income will be subject to PRC income tax of 25%.

Our subsidiary Golden is subject to an EIT rate of 15% for the fiscal year 2008. Our subsidiary Hongtianzhi is located in Shenzhen and its corporate tax rate is 7.5% because it receives a lower tax rate as a high-tech company. Our subsidiary Cheng Feng is subject to an EIT rate of 15% for fiscal year 2008 due to its software and status as a high technology company. HiEasy, Minking, Tsingvision, Stonesonic and Guanling are subject to an EIT rate of 25%. Longhorn is exempt from EIT in 2008.



Income taxes increased $0.38 million to $2.15 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $1.77 million for the same period of 2007. We paid more taxes during the three months ended June 30, 2008 primarily because of the increased income before income taxes during that period.



Net income



Net income increased $3.47 million, or 81.3%, to $7.74 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $4.27 million for the same period in 2007.



Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007



Revenue



During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we experienced solid growth in revenues. The following table shows the different segments comprising our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.



All amounts, except percentage of revenues, in millions of U.S. dollars



| |                       | Six months ended June 30,
| | --------------------- | -------------------------
| | Revenues              |                          
| | Installation Segment  |                          
| | Manufacturing Segment |                          
| | Distribution Segment  |                          
| | Total                 |                          



For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, our Installation Segment generated revenues of $121.69 million and $73.39 million which represented 74% and 81% of our total revenues, respectively. The increase in revenues was mainly due to the following factors: First, demand for security and surveillance products has grown in China, which we attribute in part to the population in China in general becoming relatively wealthier; as well as increased demand within various industries and organizations, such as residential estates, factories and shopping centers; Second, the Chinese government initiated several programs and regulatory drivers during 2006, such as State Ordinance 458 and the "3111" program, that require many public places, including city-wide surveillance systems, traffic surveillance systems, critical government locations, cyber cafés, bars and discotheques, to install security systems; Third, our strategic efforts to increase our distribution channels during 2007 and 2008 allowed us to successfully take advantage of the growth in market demand in the first six months of 2008;  Fourth, we have been successful in raising sufficient working capital to facilitate expansion in the China market; Finally, our increased brand recognition in 2007 also contributed to the growth in sales revenue.



For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, our Manufacturing Segment generated revenues of $28.49 million and $17.19 million, representing 17.3% and 19% of our total revenues, respectively.  The increase in revenues was mainly attributed to the acquisition of Stonesonic and Longhorn.



In the first six months of 2008, we established a new segment  our Distribution Segment, which generated revenues of $14.34 million, representing 8.7% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Cost of goods sold



Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased by 70.5% to $111.81 million, as compared to $65.57 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to the reasons as described below.



Gross profit and gross margin



Our gross profit increased $27.7 million, or 110.8%, to $52.71 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, from $25.01 million for the same period last year. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 32.0%, as compared to 27.6% for the same period of 2007. The increase in our gross margin was primarily driven by the change of product mix and increased economies of scale.



The following table shows the different segment components comprising our gross profit margin over the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.



|                      |  | Six months ended June 30,
|--------------------- |  | -------------------------
|Gross Margin          |  | 2008                     
|Installation Segment  |  |                          
|Manufacturing Segment |  |                          
|Distribution Segment  |  |                          
|Total                 |  |                          



For the six months ended June 30, 2008, gross margins for the Installation Segment and Manufacturing Segment were approximately 31.9% and 35.2%, respectively, compared to 27.4% and 28.8% for the same period last year. Gross margin for our newly established Distribution Segment was 26.8% in the first six months of 2008. The gross margin for the Installation Segment increased because of the increase of the scale of our projects.  The increase in gross margin for the Manufacturing Segment was primarily driven by increased economies of scale. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, gross margin for Distribution Segment was 26.8%.



Selling and marketing expenses



Our selling and marketing expenses increased $3.67 million, or 251.4%, to $5.13 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $1.46 million for the same period in 2007. This dollar increase was primarily attributable to the consolidation of the financial results of Cheng Feng, Hongtianzhi, HiEasy, Minking, Tsingvision, Stonesonic, Longhorn and Guanling which incurred selling and marketing expenses associated with sales of their products. As a percentage of revenues, our selling and marketing expenses increased to 3.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 1.6% for the same period in 2007. The percentage increase was mainly due to the hiring of additional staff and increased cost in promotion of our products to new customers.



General and administrative expenses



Our general and administrative expenses increased $7.69 million, or 171.3%, to $12.18 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $4.49 million of the same period in 2007. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 7.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 5.0% for the same period in 2007. The dollar and percentage increase was mainly due to the consolidation of the financial results of Stonesonic, Longhorn and Guanling, the hiring of additional staff, the increased costs in connection with improving our internal controls and professional expenses related to the costs of the newly acquired subsidiaries became part of a public reporting company.



Non-cash employee compensation



During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we granted an aggregate of 499,001 shares of restricted stock pursuant to the Plan to our employees and consultants. These shares will vest with respect to each of the employees and consultants over a period of four years.



Non-cash employee compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased to $6.07 million from $1.07 million for the same period in 2007, primarily because we granted more shares of restricted stock under the Plan in the first six months of 2008.

Depreciation and amortization



Our depreciation and amortization costs increased $2.35 million, or 124.3%, to $4.24 million (including $0.29 million depreciation and amortization costs included under cost of goods sold) for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $1.89 million for the same period in 2007. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization expenses increased to 2.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 2.1% for the same period in 2007. Such dollar and percentage increase was primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets from the acquisition of Tsingvision, Stonesonic, Longhorn, and Guanling and the establishment of exclusive cooperation relationship with DM. The amortization of intangible assets increased as a result of these acquisitions.



Income from operations



Our income from operations increased $9.28 million, or 57.6%, to $25.38 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $16.10 million for the same period in 2007. As a percentage of revenues, income from operations decreased to 15.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 17.8% for the same period in 2007. Such percentage decrease was primarily due to the increase of our selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses and non-cash employee compensation as discussed above.



The following table shows the different segments comprising our income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.



All amounts, except percentage of income from operations, in millions of U.S. dollars



|                       |  | Six months ended June 30,
|---------------------- |  | -------------------------
|Income from operations |  | 2008                     
|Installation Segment   |  | $                        
|Manufacturing Segment  |  |                          
|Distribution Segment   |  |                          
|Corporate and others   |  |                          
|Total                  |  | $                        



Income from operations related to the Installation Segment increased 86.6%, or $15.09 million to $32.52 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $17.43 million for the same period in 2007. Such increase was mainly due to higher demand of total one-stop-shop installations from customers. We finished more projects than we planned in the first six months of 2008.



Income from operations related to the Manufacturing Segment increased 65.8%, or $1.29 million to $3.25 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to income from operations of $1.96 million for the same period in 2007. Such increase was mainly due to the acquisitions we made in the second and third quarter of 2007 and the acquisitions we made in the second quarter of 2008, which greatly increased our sales of manufactured products.



Income from operations related to our newly established Distribution Segment was $0.39 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.



Loss from operations related to Corporate and others increased 227.7% or $10.78 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $3.29 million for the same period in 2007. Such increase was mainly due to the increase of non-cash compensation as discussed above and professional expenses related to the costs of being a public reporting company.

Other income



Our other income decreased $0.38 million, or 31.4% to $0.83 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $1.21 million for the same period in 2007. As a percentage of revenues, other income decreased to 0.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 1.3% for the same period in 2007. Such percentage decrease was primarily because we did not receive any rental income from related parties in the second quarter of 2008. Those rental properties were disposed of in 2007.



Interest expense (excluding redemption accretion on convertible notes)



We had three bank loans from local Chinese banks outstanding in the first quarter of 2008 and two loans outstanding in the second quarter of 2008, as a result, we incurred a total interest expense of $0.92 million, as compared to $0.45 million of the same period in 2007. For the convertible notes, we paid $0.55 million interest during the six months ended June 30, 2008.



Redemption accretion on convertible notes



Redemption accretion on convertible notes for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $8.73 million, as compared to $4.98 million for the same period in 2007.



Income before taxes



Our income before taxes increased $4.68 million, or 39.4%, to $16.56 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $11.88 million for the same period in 2007. As a percentage of revenues, income before taxes decreased to 10.1% from 13.1% for the same period in 2007. Such percentage decrease was primarily due to increased non-cash expenses, including the redemption accretion on convertible notes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash employee compensation as discussed above.



Income taxes



Our income taxes increased $1.25 million to $4.33 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $3.08 million for the same period of 2007. We paid more taxes during the first six months of 2008 as a result of increased income during that period.



Net income



Net income increased $3.43 million, or 39.0%, to $12.23 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $8.80 million for the same period in 2007. As a percentage of revenues, net income decreased to 7.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 9.7% for the same period in 2007. This percentage decrease was mainly due to the non-cash expenses such as redemption accretion on convertible notes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash employee compensation.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



General



As of June 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) of $88.60 million. The following table sets forth a summary of our net cash flows for the periods indicated.

The increase of net cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily due to decreases in inventories.

Investing Activities



Our main uses of cash for investing activities during the first six months of 2008 were deposits for the acquisition of subsidiaries and businesses and for property, plant and equipment.



Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $8.38 million, which is a decrease of $44.03 million from net cash used in investing activities of $52.41 million in the same period of 2007. Such decrease was primarily due to decreased deposits for acquisitions of subsidiaries and proceeds from the disposal of land use rights and properties in 2008.



We closed the acquisition of Stonesonic and Longhorn on April 2, 2008. We also closed the acquisition of Guanling on April 21, 2008. In addition, we have signed letters of intent to acquire Shenzhen Alean Technology Development Co., Ltd.,
Shenzhen Coson Technology Limited, Zhuhai DIT Digital Co., Ltd., Shenzhen
Skyrise Technology Limited and Shenzhen Jin Lin Technology Co., Ltd. Pursuant to the letters of intent, the cash consideration for these
intended acquisitions is expected to total $22 million with additional consideration to be paid in equity. Consummation of these acquisitions is subject to customary closing conditions, including execution of definitive agreement and receipt of governmental approval. We expect to finance the cash portion of the purchase price with the net proceeds from our $50 million convertible notes financing that closed in April 2007. The number of our shares to be included in the equity portion of the purchase price for Stonesonic, Longhorn and Guanling acquisitions will be subject to the achievement of certain net income performance targets over a two-year period. The acquisitions of Stonesonic, Longhorn and Guanling are expected to be accretive to earnings upon closing and are expected to provide support to the Company's city-wide projects.



Financing Activities



Net cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $9.30 million as compared to $116.48 million provided by financing activities in the same period of 2007. The net cash use in financing activities was mainly attributable to the repayment of bank loans in the first six months of 2008, whereas the net cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2007 was mainly attributable to proceeds from the two convertible notes received in February 2007 and in April 2007.



Loan Facilities



As of June 30, 2008, the amount, maturity date and duration of each of our bank loans were as follows:



All amounts in millions of U.S. dollars

|Total                 | $ | 5.38   |               |         



In January 2008, we entered into a loan agreement with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank pursuant to which the Company borrowed RMB30 million (approximately $4.37 million) with an annual interest rate of 6.57%. The loan was due in July 2008 and the interest is payable at the end of each month. The bank was repaid in April 2008.



On October 3, 2006, we signed a banking facility agreement with China Construction Bank (CCB) under which CCB agreed to provide a new receivable-based facility to support our efforts in securing new contracts relating to the Safe City Project initiative, also known as "Plan 3111." This facility will provide three possible financing options: (1) the government takes a loan from CCB to finance the project; (2) we sell the accounts receivable to CCB, 85% of the total account receivables value will be paid by CCB to the Company and the remaining 15% will be collected by CCB from the government; from the 15% collected from the government, CCB will retain certain finance charges and pay the remainder over to Company; or (3) we take a loan from CCB to finance the project. As part of this agreement, we will make periodic deposits with CCB, which, depending upon the specific project, will provide a maximum factoring capacity of five to ten times the amount deposited. None of the facility has been drawn down as of the date of this Report.

We believe that our currently available working capital, after receiving the aggregate proceeds of our capital raising activities and the credit facilities referred to above and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 10, 2008, should be adequate to sustain our operations at our current levels through at least the next twelve months.

Recent Pronouncements



In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities  an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161) effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires an entity to provide enhanced disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. The adoption of SFAS 161 is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.



In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R), effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and goodwill. SFAS 141R also expands disclosure requirements for business combinations. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS 141R will have on its consolidated financial statements.



In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements  an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160) effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The adoption of SFAS 160 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.



Critical Accounting Policies



See Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, for a discussion of the Company's critical accounting policies.



Seasonality



Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have been subject to seasonal variations. Our revenues are usually higher in the second half of the year than in the first half of the year and the first quarter is usually the slowest quarter because fewer projects are undertaken during and around the Chinese spring festival.



Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements



We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
