CHINA SECURITY & SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars
(Except for share and per share amounts)

1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying financial statements, as of June 30, 2007 and for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, have been prepared by CHINA SECURITY & SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY, INC. (the “Company”) without audit. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, filed with the SEC on March 21, 2007, as amended on March 23, 2007. Amounts as of December 31, 2006 are derived from these audited consolidated financial statements.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2007, results of operations for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, have been made. The results of operations for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

SUMMARY OF SELECTED SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
(a)    Accounts Receivable

Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.

No trade receivables due from one individual customer exceeds 10% of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
 
(b)    Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

When inventories are sold, their carrying amount is charged to expense in the year in which the revenue is recognized. Write-downs for declines in net realizable value or for losses of inventories are recognized as an expense in the year the impairment or loss occurs. There were no declines in net realizable value of inventory for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

During the six months and three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, approximately 81%, 72%, 99% and 98%, of total inventory purchases were from five suppliers, respectively.

SUMMARY OF SELECTED SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(c)    Accounting for Computer Software To Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed

The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 86, “ Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed .” Costs related to establishing the technological feasibility of a software product are expensed as incurred as a part of research and development in general and administrative expenses. Costs that are incurred to produce the finished product after technological feasibility is established are capitalized and amortized over the estimated economic life of 5 years. The Company performs periodic reviews to ensure that unamortized program costs remain recoverable from future revenue.

As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, unamortized computer software costs were $665 and $267, respectively. During the six months and three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, $63, $32, $0 and $0 amortization expense was charged to income, respectively.

(d)    Revenue Recognition

The Company derives the bulk of its revenue from the supply and installation of security and surveillance equipment and the two deliverables do not meet the separation criteria under Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issue 00-21. The installation is not considered to be essential to the functionality of the equipment having regard to the following criteria as set out in Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104:

(i)    The security and surveillance equipment is a standard product with minor modifications according to customers’ specifications;
 
(ii)    Installation does not significantly alter the security and surveillance equipment’s capabilities; and
 
(iii)    Other companies which possess the relevant licenses are available to perform the installation services.

In early 2006, the Company began performing much larger security installation contracts than it had been performing previously. As a marketing approach, the Company prepared standard contracts with its new larger customers, whereby 90% of the contract amount was due when installation was complete and payment of the remaining 10% was deferred for one year. Because of the newness of the larger contracts and the inability to immediately determine the amount of warranty work that would be required, the Company initially deferred recognizing the 10% of the contract amount as revenue and amortized this amount to income over the one year period. During the second and third quarters of 2006, the Company carefully monitored the warranty work requested by its customers, and determined that very little warranty work had been required to be performed.

The Company reduced its estimate of future warranty requirements to approximately 1% of contract installation revenue since the fourth quarter of 2006.

Revenue from the outright sale of security and surveillance equipment is recognized when delivery occurs and risk of ownership passes to the customers.
 
(e)    Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs included in general and administrative expenses for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $108, $87, $0 and $0, respectively.

(f)    Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred or the first time advertising takes place. During the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred approximately $203, $103, $20 and $3, respectively.

(g)    Retirement Benefits

Retirement benefits in the form of contributions under defined contribution retirement plans to the relevant authorities are charged to the consolidated statements of income as incurred. The retirement benefit expenses (included in general and administrative expenses) for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $127, $73, $10 and $1, respectively.

(h)    Income taxes

The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” (“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. The Company did not have any material unrecognized tax benefits and there was no effect on its financial condition or results of operations as a result of implementing FIN 48.

The Company files income tax returns with the relevant government authorities in the U.S. and PRC. The Company was not subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years before 2006. The Company does not believe there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, the Company did not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible expenses, temporary differences, and preferential tax treatment.

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) adopted a new corporate income tax law in its fifth plenary session. The new corporate income tax law unifies the application scope, tax rate, tax deduction and preferential policy for both domestic and foreign-invested enterprises.  The new corporate income tax law will be effective on January 1, 2008.  According to the new corporate income tax law, the applicable income tax rate for our operating subsidiaries may be subject to change.  As the implementation detail has not yet been announced, we cannot be sure of the potential impact of such new corporate income tax law on financial position and operating results.

(i)    Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 financial statements and the reported amounts 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 estimates.

(j)    Earnings Per Share

SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share,” requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.  Basic EPS excludes dilution.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. 

Earnings per basic share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each respective period.  Earnings per diluted share of common stock adds to basic weighted shares the weighted average number of shares issuable under convertible securities, contingent issuances, stock options and warrants outstanding during each respective period, using the if-converted or treasury-stock methods.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 has been calculated using the treasury stock method based on the weighted average number of dilutive securities outstanding during 2007. As of June 30, 2007, warrants were outstanding to acquire 610,015 shares of common stock.

The Company is to issue 1,780,415 shares of common stock in connection with business acquisitions (note 3). The impact of these shares has been included in dilutive weighted average number of shares from the date of the closing of the acquisitions.

Such Securities Purchase Agreement was amended on each of July 30, 2006 and July 31, 2006 (as amended, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). Closing thereunder occurred July 31, 2006. The purchase price of each unit was $3.50 and the exercise price for each whole warrant was set at $4.80. The warrants have a term of five years and include a cashless exercise feature which does not apply when there is an effective registration statement covering the shares underlying the warrants. In addition, the Company had granted a put right to all of the investors which would have allowed the investors to require the Company to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the securities issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement if the Company had failed to obtain the necessary governmental approvals to consummate the acquisition of Shanghai Cheng Feng Digital Technology Co., Ltd. (“Cheng Feng”) on or before December 31, 2006. As such governmental approvals were obtained before December 31, 2006, the put right has terminated.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company sold 4,634,592 units to certain accredited investors at $3.50 per unit for gross proceeds of $16,200.

Net proceeds to the Company from the sale of all of the units pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement were approximately $14,900. 482,856 and 128,571 warrants were exercised at $4.80 per share during the six months and three months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.

The Company was obligated to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 150 days of the closing date, and was liable for payment of penalties to the purchasers in the event the registration statement has not declared effective within the 150-day period. The Company filed the registration statements on Form S-4 and Form S-1 on October 3, 2006 and October 23, 2006 which were declared effective on November 13, 2006 and November 15, 2006, respectively.

Because majority of our revenues are derived from the installation, they are generally non-recurring. Our revenues are not concentrated within any one customer or group of related customers. Maintenance services in our packaged solutions are included for the first year from the date of completion. Our customers have an option to sign up for our maintenance program after the first year.
 
Our sales network covers most of China and we do not rely on any particular region for our business. Among our subsidiaries, Golden has 33 branch offices in provincial cities, Cheng Feng has 22 distribution points, Hongtianzhi has 53 distribution points, HiEasy has 11 distribution points and Minking has 10 distribution points.
 
Recent Developments

We have received approval for listing on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and expect to start trading on the NYSE shortly after the Company appoints the requisite number of independent directors as required by the NYSE listing standards.

On July 2, 2007, the Company and Safetech entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement with Li Ngai, the sole owner of Ocean Pacific Technology Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Ocean Pacific”) pursuant to which Safetech purchased 100% ownership of Ocean Pacific from Mr. Li. Ocean Pacific is a holding company that owns all the outstanding equity of Hangzhou Tsingvision Intelligence System Co. Ltd. (“Hangzhou Tsingvision”), a PRC corporation which is engaged in the business of researching, developing, manufacturing and selling computer software and digital audio and video products. Under the Equity Transfer Agreement, in exchange for 100% ownership of Ocean Pacific, the Company agreed to pay RMB50 million (approximately $6.56 million) in cash and approximately RMB49 million (approximately $6.48 million) in shares of the Company’s common stock. The $6.56 million cash price was paid as of the execution of the Equity Transfer Agreement. The number of shares issuable in satisfaction of the equity portion of the purchase price is 459,000, which will be issued within 90 days following the signing of the Equity Transfer Agreement. Please see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 9, 2007, for more details.

Second Quarter Financial Performance Highlights

We continued to experience strong demand for our products and services during the second fiscal quarter of 2007 and growth in our revenues and net income. The security and surveillance product market in China continued to expand in the second quarter of 2007 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 $7.9 million revenues in aggregate, accounting for approximately 15.2% of the total revenues of the second fiscal quarter of 2007.
 
The following are some financial highlights for the second quarter of 2007:
 
·  
Revenues: Revenues increased $44.1 million, or 551.3%, to $52.1 million for the second quarter of 2007, from $8.0 million for the same quarter of last year.   

·  
Gross margin: Gross margin was 28.6% for the second quarter of 2007, compared to 37.5% for the same period in 2006. Such decrease was mainly due to increased competition and the Company’s strategic decision to lower its selling price to attract more customers and penetrate into new markets.

·  
Income from operations: Income from operations increased $7.2 million, or 300.0%, to $9.6 million for the second quarter of 2007, from $2.4 million for the same period last year.

·  
Operating margin: Operating margin (the ratio of income from operations to revenues, expressed as a percentage) was 18.4 % for the second quarter of 2007, compared to 30.0% during the same period in 2006.

·  
Net income: Net income increased $1.8 million, or 72.0%, to $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2007, from $2.5 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 2007, compared to 31.3% for the same period in 2006. The decrease was mainly due to the non-cash expenses.

·  
Fully diluted net income per share: Fully diluted net income per share was $0.11 for the second quarter of 2007, as compared to $0.10 for the same period last year.

·  
Non-cash items: Non-cash items included (i) the redemption accretion on convertible notes of $3.8 million, (ii) depreciation and amortization of $1.1 million, and (iii) non-cash employee compensation expense of $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2007.
