Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of our client China Digital Wireless, Inc. (the "Company"),
in connection with the above referenced reports, we are hereby providing you the
following supplemental responses to the comments in your letter dated October 5,
2005:
1. Comment. We have reviewed your response to comment 2 and continue to
question your basis for classifying these amounts as permanent equity
at year-end. As previously requested, please tell us what consideration
was given to paragraph 11 of SFAS 150.
Response. The Company does not believe that Paragraph 11 of SFAS 150
applies. In this case, the option to repurchase the shares was only
exercisable after the date that was six months after the Company filed
a registration statement registering the shares up to and including the
earlier of the date that such registration statement was declared
effective by the Commission or the shares were eligible for resale
under Rule 144 under the Act. As a result, the option was not effective
or exercisable at inception or at the date of the balance sheet in the
Company's Form 10-KSB. In fact, the obligation to repurchase the shares
never became exercisable because the Company filed such registration
statement and the Commission declared it effective less than six months
later. Because of the conditional nature of this option, the Company
concluded that it did not meet the definition of a "freestanding
financial instrument" under SFAS 150. Additionally, the Company
concluded that the option did not fall within any other examples cited
in paragraph 11.
2. Comment. Further to the previous comment, we also question your
position that the expiration of the options subsequent to year-end
would be considered a Type I subsequent event. Type 1 subsequent events

are those that provide additional evidence with respect to conditions
existing at the balance sheet date. As of the balance sheet date the
option was still exercisable and therefore it does not appear that you
meet the criteria in paragraph 16 of SFAS 140 to derecognize the
liability under this obligation at year-end. Please revise accordingly.
Response. For the reasons stated in our response to Comment 1 above, we
concluded this was not a liability and therefore would not be subject
to paragraph 16 of SFAS 140.
3. Comment. We reviewed your response to our prior comment 5. Based on the
disclosure in your financial statements these advances are to help
Sifang Information purchase mobile phones and to establish marketing
for channel distribution that will enable you to become a distributor.
Please clarify if this advance solely benefits your company. Also
advise us the repayment terms of the advance.
Response. Shanghai TCH Data Technology Co., LTD ("TCH"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, has entered into an agreement with Shanghai
Sifang Information Technology Co., Ltd. ("Sifang Information") whereby
Sifang Information purchases cell phones from cell phone manufacturers
and sells such phones to TCH at the actual cost. This advance soley
benefits the Company. TCH distributes the cell phones to customers via
TCH's marketing channels. TCH collects payment from the distribution
from the customers and compensates Sifang Information accordingly
pursuant to the agreement. The outstanding amount due from Sifang will
be repaid back to TCH on demand by TCH.
If you have any questions or comments regarding the foregoing, please
do not hesitate to contact me at (206) 370-6651.
Very truly yours,
PRESTON GATES & ELLIS LLP
