BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements, as of June 30, 2008 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, have been prepared by CHINA SECURITY & SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY, INC. (the "Company" or "CSST") 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, 2007, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the SEC on March 10, 2008. Amounts as of December 31, 2007 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, 2008, results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, have been made. The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 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 exceeded 10% of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

(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, 2008 and 2007.

During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, approximately 40%, 37%, 99% and 81%, 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, 2008 and December 31, 2007, unamortized computer software costs were $2,921 and $2,383, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, $121, $375, $32 and $63 of 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. 99% of the installation contract amount is recognized as revenue when installation is completed. 1% of the contract amount is deferred and amortized to income over the one-year warranty period.

Revenue from sales of security and surveillance video cameras, surveillance equipment and related products are recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104: "Revenue Recognition" ("SAB No. 104"). Revenues are recognized when the following criterias are met:

(i)

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists – The Company requires evidence of an agreement with a customer specifying the terms and conditions of the products to be delivered typically in the form of a signed contract or purchase order;

(ii)

Delivery has occurred – For product sales, delivery generally takes place when titles to the products are shipped to or accepted by the customer;

(iii)

The fee is fixed or determinable – Fees are fixed or determinable based on the contract or purchase order terms; and

(iv)

Collection is probable – The Company performs a credit review of all customers with significant transactions to determine whether a customer is creditworthy and collection is probable.

Repairs and maintenance service revenue is recognized when the service is performed.

The sales contracts generally provide a one to three-year product warranty to customers from the date of purchase. We estimate the costs of satisfying warranty claims based on an analysis of past experience and provide for the future claims in the period the revenue is recognized. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, no material product warranty reserve was accrued. Warranty costs incurred by the Company have not been material.

The Company derives a portion of its revenue from one-year software upgrades. These services are typical post-contract service ("PCS") arrangements according to AICPA Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2. Under SOP 97-2, PCS revenue may be recognized together with the initial licensing fee on delivery of the software if all of the following conditions are met:

Share-based Payments

On February 7, 2007, the Company adopted the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan ("Plan"), which has a five-year term and provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance units, restricted stock units and performance shares. The total number of shares which may be issued under the plan is 8,000,000 shares of common stock. These restricted stocks are share-based payments subject to the provisions of revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.123, "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123 (R)"). The fair values of these restricted stock awards are equal to the market value of the Company's stock on the date of grant, after taking into account certain discounts. Such restricted stock is subject to the risk of forfeiture upon the occurrence of certain events. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company has recognized $3,108, $6,066, $801 and $1,066 of compensation expense under the Plan, respectively.

SUMMARY OF SELECTED SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(i)

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.

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 became effective on January 1, 2008.

(j)

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.

(k)

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 is based on the outstanding warrants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, warrants were outstanding to acquire 30,006 and 610,015 shares of common stock.

Approximately 5,452,000 shares of common stock underlying convertible notes were not included in the dilutive calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

The Company issued 1,951,081 shares of common stock in connection with business acquisitions in the three months ended June 30, 2008 (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.

In addition, if the 45-day variable weighted average price ("VWAP") during the one year period from February 16, 2009 to February 15, 2010 equals or is greater than $30.0 per share of common stock, the Company shall, within one trading day, force holders of the February Notes to convert 50% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the February Notes at the then applicable conversion rate on a pro rata basis (the "February Notes 2010 Mandatory Conversion"). If the 45-day VWAP during the one year period from February 16, 2010 to February 15, 2011 equals or is greater than $35.0 per share of common stock (the "February Notes 2011 Mandatory Conversion Trigger") and the February Notes 2010 Mandatory Conversion had occurred, the Company shall, within one trading day, force holders of the February Notes to convert all of the then-outstanding principal amount of the February Notes at the then applicable conversion price.

The February Notes and April Notes indentures, the notes purchase agreements and certain investor rights agreements between the Company and Citadel entered into in connection with the February Notes and April Notes financings contain various covenants that may limit the Company's discretion in operating its business. In particular, the Company is limited in its ability to merge, consolidate or transfer substantially all of its assets, issue stock of subsidiaries, incur additional debt and create liens on assets to secure debt. In addition, if there is a default, or if the Company does not maintain certain financial covenants or does not maintain borrowing availability in excess of certain pre-determined levels, the February Notes and the April Notes may be accelerated with the balance becoming due and payable immediately and the Company may be unable to incur additional indebtedness, make restricted payments (including paying cash dividends on capital stock) or redeem or repurchase capital stock. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company has complied with all the required covenants.

The Company has accreted $4,363, $8,726, $3,812 and $4,975 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively of the additional redemption amount related to the February Notes and April Notes, which amount included in interest expense.

Approximately $176 of legal fees and other costs directly associated with the issuance of the February Notes and April Notes is recorded as deferred financing costs in the balance sheet at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The Company is amortizing these financing costs over the life of the February Notes and April Notes. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, approximately $9, $18, $9 and $9 was amortized to interest expense, respectively.
