FORM 10-KSB FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004
Consolidated Statements of Operations, page F-4
-----------------------------------------------
1. In previously filed reports, product sales have not been considered
material to the Company's financial statements. We will comply with your
request to segregate revenues and costs of revenues of our products and
services in our future filings.
Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies, page F-12
--------------------------------------------------
Revenue Recognition, page F-15
------------------------------
2. The phrase "revenue represents the net invoiced value of goods sold" means
revenue, net of discounts, allowances and returns. The Company's sources of
revenues are from its Applications, Material Handling, and Apple Computer
("Gallant") businesses as follows:
a. Applications revenue is derived from applications development
services, services in connection with the operation of a broadband
network, and sales of devices that utilize broadband networks as well
as sales of biometric security products.
b. Material Handling revenue is derived from services we provide in
connection with industrial moving, land transportation and secured
logistics, the sale of industrial packing and unpacking equipment as
well as the sale, rental and servicing of material handling equipment.
c. Apple Computer revenues are derived primarily from the sale of Apple
Computers and related accessories in an authorized Apple Center as
well as the supply and provision of information technology products
and services.

The Company recognizes revenues pursuant to SAB 104 and related authoritative
literature. Revenues from services are recognized when the services are
provided. Revenues from the sales of products and equipment are recognized when
the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer.
Factors such as customer acceptance return policies, post shipment obligations,
warranties, credits and discounts, rebates, and price protection or similar
privileges, have historically not been considered significant and have had no
material impact on revenue recognition.
Future Company filings will reflect additional disclosure and clarification of
the Company's revenue recognition policies.
Note 3: Acquisition and Disposal of Subsidiaries, page F-19
-----------------------------------------------------------
3. The Company acquired/formed the investments referred to in Note 3 to the
December 31, 2004 financial statements as follows:
- The Company acquired its majority equity interests in AEC, ALG, ASS
and ATG (the "Subsidiaries") from AMH for total consideration of
$268,046, of which $119,047 was allocated to ASS, and $148,999 was
allocated to AEC, ALG and ATG.
- The Company invested $3,947 in TW upon TW's formation.
- The Company acquired its equity investments in ATP and AEG from AMH
for total consideration of $45,222.
Through December 31, 2004, the Company paid $263,158 to AMH, of the total
amount owed to AMH of $313,268. As of December 31, 2004, the Company has a
remaining liability of $50,110 to AMH, which is recorded in "other
payables".
4. No goodwill was recognized upon the Company's acquisition of the
Subsidiaries. The Company sold AEC, ALG, ATG and TW (the "Group") in
December 2004, which had an original cost of $152,946 ($148,999 allocated
to AEC, ALG and ATG plus $3,947 allocated to TW). From the date of the
Group's acquisition/formation through the disposal date, the Company's
share of losses attributed to the Group was $140,644. As a result, the
$131,115 gain on disposal of the Group was determined based on the
difference between the cash consideration received of $143,417 and the
remaining carrying value of the Company's investment in the Group of
$12,302.
Note 13: Shareholders' Equity, page F-29
----------------------------------------
5. The Company formed SDA America, Inc. ("SDAA", a non-operating, Delaware
Corporation) as a wholly-owned subsidiary in May 2004, solely for the
purpose of establishing a U.S based subsidiary to facilitate the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A") Transaction.
The Company accounted for the issuance of the Series A as permanent equity
in consideration of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Topic No. D-98,
Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities. Although the
Company has the option to redeem the Series A, the Series A is not (1)
redeemable at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date
(2) at the option of the holder, or (3) upon the occurrence of an event
that is not solely within the control of the issuer.

Securities and Exchange Commission Page 3
As discussed in Note 13, in November 2004, the Company issued warrants to
purchase 1,300,000 shares of the Company's common stock in consideration
for the Series A holder agreeing to amend the Securities Purchase Agreement
(the "SPA") to remove the listing requirement, as defined, from the SPA.
In accounting for this transaction, the Company considered the provisions
of EITF No. 00-18, Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions
involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other than Employees, and whether
the corresponding cost (of equity instruments) is an immediate expense or a
prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as
contra-equity). The Company determined that the removal of the listing
requirement was a cost associated with the Series A issuance, and therefore
represented a discount to the issuance (a contra-equity presentation).
The Company classified the $6.5 million of restricted cash as a current
asset because pursuant to the SPA, the funds can be used for working
capital purposes.
Please note that on August 1, 2005, the Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. ("Laurus")
converted accrued dividends on the Series A preferred and pursuant to an
agreement between the Company and Laurus, the Series A preferred was
cancelled. The Company also redeemed its outstanding Convertible Term Note
with Laurus in connection with the winding down of the Laurus funding.
These transactions were reported on Form 8-K, filed August 3, 2005.
Form 8-K Filed September 30, 2004
---------------------------------
6. The Company made a determination subsequent to the filing of the Form 8-K
filed September 30, 2004, that Gallant represented an individually
insignificant business, and the aggregate impact of individually
insignificant businesses acquired (Gallant and Asiaco) did not exceed 50%.
Therefore, the Company determined that financial statements of Gallant (and
Asiaco) were not required to be filed in an amended Form 8-K pursuant to
Item 310(c) of Regulation S-B.
Comments or questions regarding the above responses should be directed to the
undersigned at telephone number (603) 79567026 or email p.lim@eystar.com.
Sincerely,
/s/ Patrick Soon-Hock Lim
