Orsus Xelent Technologies, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the 6 months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

(Dollars in thousands except share data and per share amounts)
 
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION

Basis of presentation
The accompanying financial statements, as of June 30, 2008 and for the 6 months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, have been prepared by the Company without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“USGAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in the Company’s 2007 Form 10-K dated March 31, 2008.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with USGAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with USGAAP. The results for the 6 months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for the full year.

Basis of consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of Orsus Xelent Technologies, Inc. (“ORS”) and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Stock-based compensation
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”, (SFAS 123(R)) requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company records the cost as expense over the offering period and vesting term in connection with compensation expense for stock-based employee compensation plans.

During the period, the Company has accounted for compensation expense for stock-based employee compensation plans in accordance with SFAS 123(R) as interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The Company adopted the modified prospective transition method provided for under SFAS 123(R), and consequently has not retroactively adjusted results from prior periods. Under the modified prospective transition method, compensation expense is recognized in the financial statements on a prospective basis for share-based payments granted on or subsequent to January 1, 2006, based upon the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. The grant-date fair value of awards expected to vest is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the related awards.

As of June 30, 2008, the Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan, details of which are set out in note 13.

2.
EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed based upon the net income attributable to stockholders for the periods presented on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on net income attributable to stockholders for the periods presented and on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period and adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the periods.

614,000 shares of stock options, which have been granted by ORS during the period ended June 30, 2008, have not been included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the period ended June 30, 2008 because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the period. Accordingly, the basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.
 
3.
INCOME TAXES

ORS and its subsidiaries are subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdictions in which it operates. Provision for income and other related taxes have been provided in accordance with the tax rates and laws in effect in the various countries of operations.

No provision for withholding or United States federal or state income taxes or tax benefits on the undistributed earnings and/or losses of the Company's subsidiaries has been provided as the earnings of these subsidiaries, in the opinion of the management, will be reinvested indefinitely.

United First International Limited (“UFI”) was incorporated in Hong Kong and has no assessable income for the periods presented. Orsus Xelent Trading (HK) Limited (“OXTHK”) was incorporated in Hong Kong and Hong Kong Profits Tax has been provided at the rate of 17.5% in respect of its under-provision for prior years’ estimated assessable income; but no Hong Kong Profits Tax has been provided for the current 6-month period as OXTHK has no assessable income for the period presented.

The Company’s income is principally generated in the PRC by Beijing Orsus Xelent Technologies & Trading Co., Limited (“BOXT”). Since BOXT is registered as a wholly-owned foreign investment enterprise (“WOFIE”), it is subject to tax laws applicable to WOFIE in the PRC and is fully exempt from the PRC enterprise income tax of 24% for two years commencing in fiscal year 2005, followed by a 50% reduction for the next three years.

3.
INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

On March 16, 2007, a New Enterprise Income Tax Law (“NEITL”) was issued in the PRC. Prior to the issuance of the NEITL, domestic enterprises (“DE”) and foreign invested enterprises (“FIE”) in the PRC were taxed under different enterprise income tax laws. The NEITL unifies the enterprise tax law applicable to both DE and FIE commencing in fiscal year beginning from January 1, 2008. The different enterprise income tax (“EIT”) rates with effective from January 1, 2008 are as follows:

Unified EIT rate effective January 1, 2008
25%
Small scale / low profit enterprises
20%
New / hi-tech enterprises
15%

By virtue of the NEITL, it is expected that BOXT will be subject to the unified EIT rate of 25% under the NEITL. However, the 50% tax reduction, which has already been obtained by BOXT under the old tax laws, can still be maintained and the remaining tax holiday, which was commenced before 2008, can still be enjoyed by BOXT, until the year to expiry at 2009.

Under FIN 48, the Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain position only if it is more-likely-than-not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements attributable to such position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate resolution of the position.

Since January 1, 2007, the Company is subject to the provisions of FIN 48, and has analyzed its filing positions in all of the federal, state and foreign jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as for all open years for those jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008, the Company has identified the following jurisdictions as “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined, in which it is required to file income tax returns: United States, Hong Kong and PRC. Based on the evaluations noted above, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its consolidated financial statements. Based on a review of tax positions for all open years, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to FIN 48 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and during the year ended December 31, 2007, and the Company does not anticipate that it is reasonably possible that any material increase or decrease in its unrecognized tax benefits will occur within twelve months.

CONTINGENCIES

Tax penalty
In accordance with PRC’s tax regulations, BOXT’s sales are subject to a 17% of value added tax (“VAT”) upon the issuance of VAT invoices to customers. BOXT follows the practice of reporting its revenue for VAT purposes when invoices are issued. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, there were sales amounted to approximately US$146,941 and US$117,824 respectively for which VAT invoices have not yet been issued.

Furthermore, BOXT reports its revenue for PRC enterprise income tax (“EIT”) purposes when VAT invoices are issued instead of when goods are delivered. All unbilled revenue will become taxable when invoice are issued.

The above practice is not in strict compliance with the relevant laws and regulations in respect of VAT and EIT. Despite the fact that BOXT has made full provision on VAT and EIT including any estimated surcharge in the financial statements, BOXT may be subject to a penalty for the deferred reporting of above tax obligations. The exact amount of penalty cannot be estimated with any reasonable degree of certainty. The board of directors considers it is more likely than not that the penalty will not be imposed.

Financial guarantee contract
On June 20, 2007, BOXT entered into a guarantee contract for three years to June 16, 2010 to serve as guarantor of a bank loan amounting to approximately US$17,089 (equivalent to RMB120,000) to an independent third-party, CECT-Chinacom Communications Co., Ltd. (“CECT”), from Beijing Rural Bank to provide CECT with capital for equipment purchases. Under the guarantee contract, BOXT shall perform all obligations of CECT under the loan contract if CECT fails to perform its obligations as set forth in the loan contract, including, but not limited to, ceasing production, going out of business, dissolving the business, having its business license withdrawn, and filing for bankruptcy.

According to a valuation report dated March 27, 2008 issued by an independent professional valuer, the fair value of the undiscounted maximum potential amount of future payments, which was estimated by the independent professional valuer, that BOXT could be required to make under the guarantee contract was amounted to approximately US$106 (equivalent to RMB745) as of the date of inception. At the balance sheet date, there is no change in the estimated fair value of the financial guarantee since the date of inception in accordance with the estimation made by the directors of the Company.

Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management. This report includes forward-looking statements. Generally, the words "believes," "anticipates," "may," "will," "should," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "continue," and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the matters set forth in this report or other reports or documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those projected. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and other financial information contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

OVERVIEW

The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in May 2004 under the name of “Universal Flirts Corp.” On June 1, 2004, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Universal Flirts, Inc., a New York corporation, from Darrel Lerner, the sole shareholder, in consideration for the issuance of 8,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Lerner pursuant to a stock exchange agreement between Universal Flirts Inc. and the Company. Pursuant to the stock exchange transaction, Universal Flirts Inc. became the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Pursuant to Stock Transfer Agreement dated March 29, 2005, the Company transferred all of the common stock of Universal Flirts, Inc. to Mr. Darrell Lerner in exchange for the cancellation of 28,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Immediately following such cancellation, the Company had 14,756,000 shares of its common stock outstanding.

On March 31, 2005, Universal Flirts Corp. completed a stock exchange transaction with the stockholders of United First International Limited (“UFIL”), a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong. The exchange was consummated under the laws of the State of Delaware and pursuant to the terms of the Securities Exchange Agreement dated as of March 31, 2005 (the “Exchange Agreement”). In connection with its acquisition of UFIL, the Company authorized a 4-1 forward split of its common stock.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Universal Flirts Corp. issued 15,000,000 shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value, to the stockholders of UFIL, representing approximately 50.41% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, in exchange for the 20,000,000 outstanding shares of UFIL and a cash payment of $50,000 from UFIL. Immediately after giving effect to the exchange, the Company had 29,756,000 shares of its common stock outstanding. Pursuant to this exchange, UFIL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and most of the Company’s business operations are now conducted through UFIL’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Beijing Orsus Xelent Technology & Trading Company Limited (“Xelent”).
 
16


On May 9, 2005, the Company, formerly known as Universal Flirts Corp., changed its list name to Orsus Xelent Technologies, Inc.
 
In July 2005, a wholly-owned subsidiary, Orsus Xelent Trading (HK) Company Limited (“OXHK”), was incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong. This subsidiary is engaged in the business of selling cellular phones and accessories to overseas customers. In September 2005, OXHK commenced its Hong Kong operations to sell and distribute the Company’s cellular phone products and technical support services to customers outside the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).

The business operations of the Company are conducted through Xelent, which is also commonly called “Orsus Cellular” within the cellular phone industry. Xelent sells its handsets and total solutions, including economically priced and fully-loaded cell phones for both Global System for Mobile communications (“GSM”) and Code Division Multiple Access (“CDMA”) platforms, to a diverse base of customers and dealers, such as ordinary users, custom operators, and specialized users from all fields of business and government. Most of our mobile phone models are either designed by us for our exclusive distribution and joint sales under established co-brands, or developed in conjunction with outside design firms. In February 2004, Xelent registered “ORSUS” as its product trademark with the PRC State Administration for Industry and Commerce.

In the GSM mobile phone market, Xelent provides its handsets to various types of customers and dealers. At present, the GSM mobile devices constitute a significant percentage of the Company’s sales and profit. In addition, Xelent has focused on the development of specialized application mobile terminals in accordance with market changes and the popularity of certain features. The Company has established itself in the specialized application field and made significant efforts in its marketing since entering the field in September 2006.

The cellular phone products produced by Xelent are customarily equipped with industry leading features, including 1.8-inch to 2.8-inch CSTN, TFT or QVGA dual-color display, 1 minute to 4 hours video recording, 300K to 3 million pixel photography, MP3, MPEG4 and U-disk support, dual stereo speakers, e-mail messaging, multimedia messaging, 40 to 64 ring tone storage, slim bar-phone & flip-phone technology and ultra thin innovative lightweight design. Xelent has sold approximately 2,360,800 cellular phones since its first product launched in 2004.

In April 2007, the Company’s common stock was approved for listing on the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”), and began trading on AMEX on May 10, 2007 under the ticker symbol “ORS.” The Company's CUSIP Number is 68749U106.

Business Review

With the objectives we set at the beginning of the year 2008, the Company made no major structural adjustments to operational strategies in the second quarter while assessing the impact of the ongoing telecommunications operators’ reorganization. Instead, the Company continued to enhance the foundations built in the first quarter of the year and optimize its traditional distribution channels to sell more handsets popular among typical customers in the market. With the help of marketing and effective administration, sales volume reached a record of 321,000 cellphone units and revenues reached $28,894,000 in the second quarter of 2008, the second highest per quarter revenues in the Company’s history.
 
17


In the second quarter of 2008, most domestic cellphone makers were focused on existing mid-level and low-end products instead of launching new products into the market. In particular, low-end handsets sold well with their cost-effective features appealing to the mass domestic market. Our products at prices less than RMB1,000 accounted for 70% of our total sales in the second quarter of the year. This was the major reason why our quarterly gross margin declined. Although low-end products led the mainstream in the domestic market, we have been trying to equip our products with features that correspond with market trends. In general, a majority of our products featured popular colors, demonstrating a transition away from monochrome that corresponded with market trends. In addition, we ensured our cellphones included functional features such as multimedia, multi-mega pixel and dual simcards.

Currently, we have various annual operational agendas in process. We have followed up on potential custom orders with operators. Although the split and reorganization among domestic telecommunication carriers is progressing in the PRC, we have decided to closely track the changing situation and to launch our custom distribution under appropriate conditions. We have had a customized cellphone model for sale in the market since the second quarter of 2008.

With respect to the pending acquisition of a manufacturing facility, the Company withdrew the letter of intent with its originally targeted company and executed a new letter of intent with Dalian Daxian Investment Development Co. Ltd. (“DDID”) as well as DDID’s holding and subsidiary companies (collectively “Dalian Daxian”). As scheduled in the agreement, Dalian Daxian has commenced their internal restructuring. When all preparatory work is done, the Company will sign a formal agreement to complete its acquisition of the manufacturing entity.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company’s sales grew substantially and its revenues increased by 36% over the same period during the previous year. This defies the convention that the second quarter is usually an inactive season for sales. The Company attained a 77% increase in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the corresponding period during the previous year.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company’s net profit amounted to $3,423,000, representing an increase of 27% as compared to the same period during the previous year. Among non-operational factors, the Company granted incentive stock options during this quarter which resulted in non-cash expenses of $725,000, which represented the cost of all for the options granted. At the time the stock options are granted, the compensation costs must be calculated based on 1) the Binomial Lattice option pricing model for calculating the value and 2) the vesting period.  As the options of the Company vested immediately, the non-cash expenses were shown as large portion of General and Administrative expenses. Excluding the impact of this factor, the Company’s operational earnings were targeted to reach $4,148,000, more than a 54% increase over the same period in the previous year.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During the second quarter of 2008, the Company emphasized distribution of traditional handsets, which resulted in a 76.66% growth in revenues as compared to the same period during the previous year. However, due to the recognition of share option expenses on their grant date in the second quarter of 2008, the Company only achieved an increase of 3.93% in net profit for the three months ended June 30, 2008. This share options have fully vested and their expense was fully accounted for in this quarter. The following table summarizes our operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively:

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses mainly represent payments made to sales personnel and transportation costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, sales and marketing expenses were $225,000, or 0.45% of the revenues, which are roughly equal to the numbers for the corresponding period in 2007.

R&D expense

Our R&D expenses were $141,000 or 0.28% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008, which represents a decrease of $155,000 or 52.36%, as compared with $296,000 and 0.81% of total revenues in the same period of 2007. The decrease was a result of the impact of the restructuring among telecommunications operators, which demonstrates that the Company incurred little R&D expense related to custom products.
 
23


General and administrative expenses

General and Administrative expenses primarily consisted of compensation for personnel, depreciation, travel expenses, rental, materials expenses related to ordinary administration and fees for professional services.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the total general and administrative expenses were $1,571,000, or 3.17% of total revenues, representing an increase of $992,000 or 171.33% as compared to $579,000, or 1.59% of the total revenues, for the corresponding period in 2007. The sharp increase was primarily a result of the Company granting employees stock options, which led to related compensation costs.
 
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, our gross profit was $6,384,000, reflecting a decrease of $459,000, as compared to $6,843,000 for the same period of last year. In addition, our gross profit margin for the reporting period was 12.87%, representing a decrease of 5.95% as compared to 18.82% for the same period of 2007.

The change of gross profit margin growth is attributable to:

 
1.
intensified competition in the domestic market and a decline in the gross margin of products sold during the period. When competing with foreign brands in the market, domestic brands usually focus on sales of low-priced products as a strategy to increase their market presence and secure originally-owned distribution to create conditions for future development, but this results in higher sales of low-margin products;

2.
the pending structural adjustment of operators. In the first quarter of 2008, there were few high-margin customized orders generated from the operators sector while the operators were focused on their restructuring.

Net income

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, our net income was $3,423,000 or a net profit margin of 6.90%, representing an increase of $727,000, or 26.97%, as compared to $2,696,000, or a net profit margin of 7.41% in the same period of 2007.

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, our net income was $1,506,000 or a net profit margin of 5.21%, representing an increase of $57,000, or 3.93%, as compared to $1,449,000, or a net profit margin of 8.85% in the same period of 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCE OF CAPITAL

We generally finance our operations from cash flow generated internally and short-term financing from the domestic banks.
 
24


As of June 30, 2008, we had current assets of $88,931,000. Current assets are mainly comprised of accounts receivable of $72,241,000, trade deposits paid of $9,428,000, cash and cash equivalents of $1,558,000, pledged deposits of $1,256,000 and other current assets of $4,448,000. Our current liabilities of $49,651,000 included accounts payable of $24,026,000, trade deposits received of $1,907,000, short-term bank loans of $9,541,000, short-term loans from a non-financial institution of $57,000, mortgage loan of $45,000, accrued expenses and other accrued liabilities of $9,564,000, tax payables of $3,975,000, amounts due to directors of $408,000, and provision for warranty of $128,000.

We offer two different trading terms to our customers, i.e. cash-on-delivery and on credit terms within 45-90 days. As of June 30, 2008, our accounts receivable had increased by $14,498,000 to $72,241,000, as compared to $57,743,000 as of December 31, 2007.

As of June 30, 2008, our trade deposits paid were $9,428,000, which represented an increase of $8,598,000 as compared to $839,000 as of December 31, 2007. The increase was due to a larger portion of trade deposits paid or early payments that went to suppliers to seek lower prices of materials or products from them. In order to arrange for the timely delivery of goods and ensure our market share, we agreed to adjust the prepayment.

As of June 30, 2008, our other accounts receivable were $4,448,000, which represented an increase of $252,000, as compared to $4,196,000 as of December 31, 2007. It is mainly composed of prepaid deposits for investment of $4,272,000 for acquiring the production facility.

As of June 30, 2008, our accounts payable were $24,026,000, which represented an increase of $13,172,000 or 121.36%, as compared to $10,854,000 as of December 31, 2007.

As of June 30, 2008, accrued expenses and liabilities were $9,564,000, demonstrating growth of $1,516,000 or 18.84%, as compared to $8,048,000 as of December 31, 2007. The increase was due to an outstanding tax of $8,255,000 caused by the time difference between USGAAP and PRCGAAP while determining the value-added tax (VAT).

As of June 30, 2008, tax payable was $3,975,000, which was attributable mainly to income tax and the tax deferred by Xelent.

As of June 30, 2008, cash and bank balances were mainly denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”). Our revenue and expenses, assets and liabilities are mainly denominated in RMB and U.S. Dollars (“USD”). Our activities in the operation are mainly denominated in RMB. In the accounting period, RMB currency is quoted officially against USD currency according to a floating exchange rate. However, the appreciation of the RMB against USD did not create currency exchange risk for the Company because we had few USD in stock.

CASH FLOWS
  
As of June 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,558,000. This represented a decrease of $1,370,000 or 46.79% as compared to $2,928,000 as of December 31, 2007. The decrease in cash flow was caused by expenditures to address fierce competition and high inflation as well as some initial investment made to some ongoing new projects.
 
25


As of June 30, 2008, our aggregate short-term bank loans of $9,541,000 was comprised of $2,563,000 from Huaxia Bank, $6,978,000 from Beijing Rural Bank, and short-term loan of $57,000 from a non-financial institution, which is unsecured, interest-free, and is repayable on September 19, 2008.

In addition, we had a mortgage loan of $122,000 to purchase a company car in 2007. It had $45,000 outstanding and payable as of June 30, 2008.
 
Our gearing ratio, calculated as total debts over total assets, was 55.66% as of June 30, 2008. It increased slightly compared to 49.58% as of December 31, 2007.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

On June 20, 2007, we entered into a guarantee contract to serve as guarantor of a loan in the amount of RMB 120,000,000 to CECT-Chinacom Communications Co., Ltd. (“CECT-Chinacom”) from Beijing Rural Bank to provide CECT-Chinacom with capital for equipment purchases between June 20, 2006 and June 16, 2010. Under the guarantee contract, we shall perform all obligations of CECT-Chinacom under the Loan Contract if CECT-Chinacom fails to perform its obligations as set forth in the Loan Contract, including, but not limited to, ceasing production, going out of business, dissolving the business, having its business license withdrawn, and filing for bankruptcy.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
