Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in US Dollars)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Kid Castle Internet Technologies Limited (“KCIT”) was incorporated on December 17, 1999 under the provisions of the Company Law of the Republic of China (“ROC”) as a limited liability company. KCIT is engaged in the business of children’s education focusing on the English language. The business comprises publication, sales and distribution of related books, magazines, audio and videotapes and compact disc, franchising and sales of merchandises complementary to the business. KCIT commenced operations in April 2000 when it acquired the above business from Kid Castle Enterprises Limited which was formerly owned by Mr. Kuo-An Wang and Mr. Yu-En Chiu. Kid Castle Enterprises Limited ceased operations on December 25, 2003.

On March 9, 2001, KCIT formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Premier Holding Investment Property Limited incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, which held the entire common stock of Higoal Developments Limited (“Higoal”) incorporated in the Cayman Islands on March 8, 2001. On September 10, 2001, Higoal established a wholly owned subsidiary, Kid Castle Educational Software Development Company Limited (“KCES”) in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The existing operations of Higoal are principally located in Taiwan and are being expanded in the PRC. In June 2002, after KCIT undertook a series of group restructurings, KCIT became the direct owner of the outstanding shares of Higoal. Premier Holding Investment Property Limited was then liquidated in June 2003.

On September 18, 2002, Higoal issued 11,880,000 shares of common stock to the stockholders of KCIT in exchange for 100% of the outstanding common stock of KCIT. As a result of this reorganization, KCIT became a wholly owned subsidiary of Higoal. On October 1, 2002, Kid Castle Educational Corporation (the “Company”), formerly King Ball International Technology Limited Corporation, entered into an exchange agreement with Higoal whereby the Company issued to the stockholders of Higoal 11,880,000 shares of common stock of the Company in exchange for 100% of the issued and fully paid up capital of Higoal.

As a result of the share exchange, the former stockholders of Higoal hold a majority of the Company’s outstanding capital stock. Generally accepted accounting principles require in certain circumstances that a company whose stockholders retain the majority voting interest in the combined business be treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the acquisition has been accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” whereby Higoal is deemed to have purchased the Company. However, the Company remains the legal entity and the registrant for Securities and Exchange Commission reporting purposes.

In July 2003, KCES entered into an agreement with 21^st Century Publishing House to incorporate Jiangxi 21^st Century Kid Castle Culture Media Co., Ltd (“Culture Media”). It was agreed that KCES and 21^st Century Publishing House would each own 50% of Culture Media and that each party would contribute RMB$1 million for its ownership interest. On July 2, 2004, KCES acquired additional 40% of ownership in Culture Media from 21^st Century Publishing House. KCES now owns 90% of Culture Media.

On December 27, 2006, KCES established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Shanghai Kid Castle Educational Info Constitution Company Limited (‘KCEI”) in the PRC, with registered total capital of RMB$1,200,000, in order to operate schools controlled by us in PRC.

- 9 -

The Company, Higoal and its subsidiaries are sometimes collectively are referred to as the “Group”. The operations of the Group are principally located in Taiwan and the PRC.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial data as of June 30, 2007 and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 have been prepared by the Group, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission using U.S.generally accepted accounting principles. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Group believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Group’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates 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.

The Group has incurred operating losses in most periods since inception and hence, as of June 30, 2007, the accumulated deficit was $8,069,238. The Group plans to fund its working capital needs by growth in sales and obtaining new credit lines from financial institutions. If the Group is unable to meet its current operating plan, it will be required to obtain additional funding. Management believes such funding will be available, but there can be no assurances that such funding will be available, or if it is available, on terms acceptable to the Group. Management believes that if funding is not available, other actions can and will be taken to reduce costs. These actions may entail the Group to reduce headcount, sales and marketing, other expansion activities, which may affect the future growth of the Group’s operations.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Sales of books, magazines, audio and video tapes, compact disc and other merchandises are recognized as revenue on the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to customers and title has passed. Provision is made for expected future sales returns and allowances when revenue is recognized.

Franchise fees are the annual licensing fees for franchisees to use the Group’s brand name and consulting services. Franchising income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant franchise agreements.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on the evaluation of collectibility and aging analysis of notes and accounts receivables.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost includes all costs of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition, and is calculated using the weighted average method. Market value is determined by reference to the sales proceeds of items sold in the ordinary course of business after the balance sheet date or to management estimates based on prevailing market conditions.

- 10 -

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of depreciable assets over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

	Estimated useful life (years)
Land	Indefinite
Buildings	50
Furniture and fixtures	3-10
Transportation equipment	2.5-5
Miscellaneous equipment	5-10

Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to the statement of operations as incurred. When assets are disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation thereon are removed from the financial statements and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. The Group does not perform a periodic assessment of assets for impairment in the absence of such information or indicators. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Group measures fair value based on quoted market prices or based on discounted estimates of future cash flows.

INCOME TAXES

The Company and its subsidiaries account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rate. Valuation allowances are established when it is considered more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Franchises and copyrights are stated at cost and amortized on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of ten years.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. Comprehensive income (loss) is disclosed in the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.

- 11 -

NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

The Group computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share gives effect to common stock equivalents. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Group did not have any potential common stock shares.

RECLASSIFICATION

The presentation of certain prior information has been reclassified to conform to current presentation.

NOTE 4 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) released Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109.” Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, this interpretation provides guidance on the financial statement recognition and measurement for income tax positions that we have taken or expect to take in our income tax returns. It also provides related guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have adopted this standard as of January 1, 2007. The adoption did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB released SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard applies when other accounting pronouncements require fair value measurements; it does not require new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those years. We are currently evaluating the effect of the guidance contained in this standard and do not expect the implementation to have a material impact on our financial statements

In February 2007, the FASB released SFAS No.159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before the aforementioned date. We did not elect to adopt SFAS No. 159 early.

NOTE 15 - RETIREMENT PLANS

The Group maintains tax-qualified defined contribution and benefit retirement plans for its employees in accordance with the ROC Labor Standard Law in Taiwan. As a result, the Group currently maintains two different retirement plans with contribution and benefit calculation formulas. On July 1, 2005, the Bureau of National Health Insurance issued new labor retirement pension regulations in Taiwan. The Group has a new defined contribution retirement plan (the “New Plan”) covering all regular employees of KCIT. KCIT contributes monthly an amount equal to 6% of the employees’ base salaries and wages to the Bureau of National Health Insurance. The Group still maintains the benefit retirement plan (the “Old Plan”) which commenced in September 2003, which only applies to the regular employees of KCIT who were employed before June 2005. KCIT contributes monthly an amount equal to 2% of the employees’ total salaries and wages to an independent retirement trust fund deposited with the Central Trust of China in accordance with the ROC Labor Standards Law. The retirement fund is not included in the Group’s financial statements. Net periodic pension cost is based on annual actuarial valuations which use the projected unit credit cost method of calculation and is charged to the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the average remaining service lives of current employees. Under the old plan, the employees are entitled to receive retirement benefits upon retirement in the manner stipulated by the ROC Labor Standard Law. The benefits under the old plan are based on various factors such as years of service and the final base salary preceding retirement.

NOTE 16 - GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENTS

The Group is principally engaged in the business of child educational teaching materials and related services focusing on English language in Taiwan and the PRC. Accordingly, the Group has two reportable geographic segments: Taiwan and the PRC. The Group evaluates the performance of each geographic segment based on its net income or loss. The Group also accounts for inter-segment sales as if the sales were made to third parties. Information concerning the operations in these geographic segments is as follows:

The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

This report contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to us that are based on the beliefs and assumptions made by our management as well as information currently available to the management. When used in this document, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” and “expect” and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Certain of these risks and uncertainties are discussed under the caption “Factors That May Affect Our Future Results And Financial Condition” contained herein and other factors disclosed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including, but not limited to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

We are engaged in the business of children’s education, focusing on the publication and sale of kindergarten language school and primary school teaching materials and magazines. We also provide management and consulting services to our franchised kindergarten and language schools. Our teaching materials include books, audio tapes, DVD, VCD and compact discs. A major portion of our educational materials focuses on English language education. We also sell educational tools and equipment that are complementary to our business. Our major business originally started in Taiwan. In 2001, we started to expand our business in the PRC. We officially launched our operations in Shanghai in April 2002. As in Taiwan, we offer advanced teaching materials and tools, and monthly and bi-weekly magazines to provide children ranging from 2 to 12 years of age a chance to learn exceptional English language and computer skills, and to provide a pre-school education program.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our 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, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, equity investments, income taxes, financing operations, pensions, commitments and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on 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. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

- 24 -

Revenue Recognition. We recognize sales of teaching materials and educational tools and equipment as revenue when title of the product and risk of ownership are transferred to the customer, which occurs at the time of delivery, or when the goods arrive at the customer designated location, depending on the associated shipping terms. Additionally, we deliver products sold by our distributors directly to the distributors’ customers and as such the delivered goods are recognized as revenue in a similar way as sales to our direct customers. We estimate sales returns and discounts based on historical experience and record them as reductions to revenues.

If market conditions were to decline, we may take actions to increase sales discounts, possibly resulting in an incremental reduction of revenue at the time when revenues are recognized.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Allowance for Obsolete Inventories and Lower of Cost or Market. We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about inventory aging, future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

Investment Impairments. We hold equity interests in companies having operations in areas within our strategic focus. We record an investment impairment charge when we believe an investment has experienced a decline in value that is not temporary. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of underlying investments could result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the investments that may not be reflected in an investment’s current carrying value, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future.

Fixed Assets and Depreciation. Our fixed assets are stated at cost. Major improvements and betterments to existing facilities and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs that do not extend the life of the applicable asset are charged to expense as incurred. Buildings are depreciated over a 50-year term. Fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from two-and-a-half years to ten years.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We review our fixed assets and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset over its remaining useful life. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. The estimate of fair value is generally based on quoted market prices or on the best available information, including prices for similar assets and the results of using other valuation techniques.

- 25 -

As of June 30, 2007, the balance of our amortizable intangible assets was $451,121, including franchise-related intangible assets of $284,110 and copyrights of $167,011. The amortizable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of ten years. In determining the useful lives and recoverability of the intangibles, assumptions must be made regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the assets, which may not represent the true fair value. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, there may be significant impact on our results of operations in the period of the change incurred.

Income Taxes. We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and tax loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are subject to valuation allowances based upon management’s estimates of realizability. Actual results may differ significantly from management’s estimate.

Other operating revenue. Our other operating revenues represent revenues from other activities and services such as training of teachers, arranging for personal English language tutors, organizing field trips and educational fairs, fees for designing the school layout of our franchised schools, and tuition from school controlled by us.

Provision for Taxes. Provision for taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $20,069 and $18,428, respectively. These provisions for income taxes relate to income taxes resulting from our operations in Taiwan.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2006

Total Net Operating Revenue. Total net operating revenue consists of sales of goods, franchising income and other operating revenue. Total net operating revenues increased by $225,400, or 5%, to $5,124,113 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $4,898,713 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Other operating revenue. Our other operating revenues represent revenues from other activities and services such as training of teachers, arranging for personal English language tutors, organizing field trips and educational fairs, fees for designing the school layout of our franchised schools and tuition from school controlled by us.

(Please refer to Note 13 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

- 27 -

Other Non-operating Income, Net. Net other non-operating income increased by $370,054, to $371,229 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $1,175 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increases in net other non-operating income was principally due to (i) gain from the value of recovered inventory of $199,792, (ii) gain on reversal of bad debts of $21,766 in Taiwan operations.

Provision for Taxes. Provision for taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $193,011 and $186,909, respectively. These provisions for income taxes relate to income taxes resulting from our operations in Taiwan.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2007, our principal sources of liquidity included cash and bank balances of $1,172,317 which decreased from $1,419,873 at December 31, 2006. The decrease was mainly due to expenditures to fund daily operations.

We have aggressively expanded business in the PRC; Shanghai operations have turned profitable in 2006, and the Group has turned profitable in the first six months of 2007. We anticipate continued expansion of the market for our learning materials and an increase in the number of franchise schools. Furthermore, we foresee better utilization of capital and funds as we identify and implement alternatives for restructuring and refinancing in order to increase our profit margin. We began to set up schools controlled by us in 2007. Based on our internal historical records and the currently growing ability of the market demand, it is believed that by directly operating our schools we would expect to increase our profit margin. In 2007, management expects that in the initial stage of the direct school operating business, we need to invest more to acquire control of schools that will become profitable in 2008. Because of the rapid expansion in Shanghai, we expect that additional funds will be required in the near future to facilitate the expansion plans for our Shanghai operations in 2007. Management expects that the Group still requires approximately US$1 million for the next twelve months to invest in business development. We will rely on short-term loans from financial institutions as a source for additional funding. As discussed in Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, the majority of the Group’s existing loans were guaranteed by two of our directors who have expressed their willingness to continue to support us until other sources of funds have been obtained. Management believes that, with continuous growth of sales in the PRC, the existing directors’ support, and the new bank facilities, we will have sufficient funds for operations over the foreseeable future. Management expects that the Group could repay the loans from the directors by the end of 2007.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,294,822 and $1,666,261 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The $371,439 difference was primarily attributed to (i) reversal of allowance for loss on inventory obsolescence and slow-moving items of $199,792 during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to provision of $90,588 during the six months ended June 30, 2006, (ii) a decrease of accrued expense of $204,368 during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to an increase of $176,759 during the six months ended June 30, 2006, and (iii) an increase of receipts in advance of $347,284 during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to an increase of $904,189 during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities were $(1,549,746) and $353,511 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The $1,903,257 difference was primarily attributable to acquisition, prepayment of long-term investments, and a decrease of pledged notes receivable in the amount of $301,050 during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to an increase of that in amount of $386,928 during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

- 28 -

Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007 amounted to an increase of $122,189, as compared to a decrease of $1,320,401 during the six months ended June 30, 2006. The $1,442,590 difference was primarily attributable to (i) an increase of $469,373 in cash provided by bank borrowings, (ii) a decrease of $755,786 in cash used in repayment of bank borrowings, and (iii) a decrease of $212,585 in cash used to repay loans from related parties.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2007, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Bank Borrowing

One of our financing sources is bank borrowings. As of June 30, 2007 and 2006, the balances of bank borrowings, including current and non-current portions, were $2,184,761 and $2,394,085, respectively.

Pension Benefit

As of July 1, 2005, the Group maintains two different retirement plans, according to the ROC Labor Standard Law, a non-contributory and funded defined contribution retirement plan (the “New Plan”) covering all regular employees of KCIT, our subsidiary in Taiwan, and the benefit retirement plan (the “Old Plan”) which commenced in September 2003, and only applies to the regular employees of KCIT who were employed before June 2005. (See Note 15 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.) The benefits under both plans expected to be paid in each of the next five fiscal years, and in the aggregate for the five fiscal years thereafter are $0 and $16,735, respectively. We also make defined contributions to a retirement benefits plan for our employees in the PRC in accordance with local regulations. The contributions made by us for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $75,437, and $16,403, respectively.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before the aforementioned date. We did not elect to adopt SFAS No. 159 early.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

None.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk, including from changes in certain foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. All of these market risks arise in the normal course of business, as we do not engage in speculative trading activities. We have not entered into derivative or hedging transactions to manage risk in connection with such fluctuations.

The following analysis provides quantitative information regarding our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk.

Interest rate exposure

We are exposed to fluctuating interest rates related to variable rate bank borrowings. In analyzing the effect of interest rate fluctuations based on the average balances of our outstanding bank borrowings for fiscal year 2006, we have projected that, if interest rates were to increase by 1 percent, the result would be an annual increase in our interest expense of $18,521. This analysis does not take into consideration the effect of changes in the level of overall economic activity on interest rate fluctuations.

Foreign currency exposure

We have operations in both Taiwan and the PRC. The functional currency of Higoal and its subsidiary, KCIT is NT Dollars and the financial records are maintained and the financial statements are prepared for these entities in NT Dollars. The functional currency of KCES and its consolidated investee, Culture Media and KCEI is RMB and the financial records are maintained and the financial statements are prepared for these entities in RMB. In the normal course of business, these operations are not exposed to fluctuations in currency values. We do not generally enter into derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business, nor do we use such instruments for speculative purposes. The translation from the applicable local currency assets and liabilities to the U.S. Dollar is performed using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date except for shareholders’ equity, which is translated at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expense accounts are translated using average exchange rates during the period. Gains and losses resulting from such translations are recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment, a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) our management has performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

- 30 -

Based on deficiencies noted by our auditors, problems discovered relating to misuse of company funds by a company officer, and other issues noted in our management’s evaluation our conclusion is that as of June 30, 2007 our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective. We are taking steps to improve our disclosure controls and procedures, instituting a new ERP system and engaging an outside accounting firm to advise the Company with respect to setting up internal auditing and other controls and procedures. The ERP system was launched into its trial run period beginning in 2007 and our management evaluated that it will be extended to the fourth fiscal quarter 2007 to make sure of its normalization. The old system used by the Company would be phased out after the new ERP completes its trial run period. The phase out period involves the amalgamation of old data into the new ERP system, providing staff education and training of how to utilize the new ERP system as well as parallel running various functions and operations of the new ERP system along side the old system.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and financial accounting officer, we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

We recognize that the internal controls and procedures adopted by the Company were inadequate and gave rise to misappropriation of funds as disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 23, 2006. During the second quarter of 2007 we have continued to make changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting in a positive way. Among other improvements, we began implementing a comprehensive ERP system that would improve the Company’s internal controls. The ERP system is currently at trial run stage. The required software and hardware input have been fully installed and the system is now running to detect bugs that may reside in the system. The system is expected to be fully operational in 2008. The Company believes that full implementation of its new ERP System will prevent misappropriation of funds by Company employees because the ERP system will perform the following functions:

Maintain detailed records and produce comprehensive financial statements on a periodic basis allowing management to review and detect irregular financial activities.

Place different check-points on the progression of ordinary monetary activities of the business.

Delineate individual unit/departmental responsibilities and effectively separate respective departmental transactions so as to avoid intentional misappropriation of funds from taking place.

In addition to implementing a new ERP system, the following additional procedures have been implemented:

All departments requesting funds must obtain written approval from the Chief Executive Officer or the Chairman of the Board before the accounting department may commence processing payments.

All fund transfer applications must be approved by the applicable department supervisor before the application may be processed. No one can authorize their own application. This is applicable to all staff including staff at the managerial level.

- 31 -
