Re: China Mobility Solutions, Inc.
Comment Letter Dated July 11, 2005
File No. 026559
Dear Ms. Bowen:
In response to your comment letter, we have the following responses
which correspond to the numbered comments in your letter. We have filed a
10KSB/A addressing the comments and a marked copy of the 10KSB/A is attached
hereto and page numbers in the comments refer to the 10KSB/A.
1. In response to Comment #1, the breakdown of deferred revenue of
$2.1 million at December 31, 2004 is as follows: - SMS - $2,105,165 and
Education and Training - $6,533. Following is the amended language at p. 11 and
Note 1, p. F-7.
"The Company also carries deferred revenue of $2,105,165 for its SMS
business in China and $6,533 for its education and training business."
2. In response to Comment #2, we have added in Note 1 the following
text at p. F-7. "All the mobile communication service is provided on a
subscription basis. All the customers have to pay in advance a deposit for a
one-year service to be provided. Revenue has been allocated over the service
period." No services are "bundled" that could be individually broken out. The
accounting treatment is in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements."

3. In response to Comment #3, the "Recent Accounting Pronouncements"
section has been amended in the 10-KSB/A at p. F-11 to add:
"The Company completed the evaluation of EITF 00-21 'Revenue
Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables' in year 2004. The Company has concluded
the implementation of EITF 00-21 does not have any impact on the financial
position and results of operations of the Company.
"The Company also completed the evaluation of FIN46 'Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities' in year 2004. The Company has concluded the
implementation of FIN46 does not have any impact on the financial position and
results of operations of the Company."
4. In response to Comment #4 (first bullet point):
The Company controls 51% ownership in Beijing Quicknet. 49% has been
purchased directly by the Company as disclosed in Form 8-K dated February 16,
2004 filed on February 17, 2004. The additional 2% ownership is held through the
Company, Beijing ShiJi RongChuang Tech, LTD., of which the sole shareholder is
Xin Wei, the CEO of Beijing Quicknet, who is a Chinese citizen and meets the
Chinese regulatory requirements. The 2% ownership interest in Beijing Quicknet
is optioned for $100, by the Company from Mr. Wei, and the Company holds the
proxy for voting all the shares of Beijing Quicknet and has the right to appoint
and elect the directors of Beijing Quicknet pursuant to a written agreement. The
2% will be transferred to the Company when the applicable Chinese regulations
allow the transfer or there is another legal mechanism for such a transfer. This
arrangement was included in the 8-K/A dated February 19, 2004 filed on February
25, 2004 and in the exhibit thereto. See Exhibits attached hereto.
The Company has Xin Wei's proxy to vote his 2% of shares and so the
Company will vote the 2% of Beijing Quicknet according to the interest of the
Company. Including the additional 2% equity interest in control and with the
right to appoint and elect the Board, it enabled the Company to conclude that
the Company has acquired, for accounting purposes, the additional 2% ownership
interest. (See Supplemental Exhibits 4.1 - 4.6.)
FIN46 is not applicable in this case as Beijing Quicknet is not
considered as a variable interest entity. The shareholding arrangements are
solely for adapting to the regulations of China. The Company has the direct
ability to make decisions about Beijing Quicknet activities through appointing
the entire board of directors. The financials of Beijing Quicknet have been
included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
(Second bullet point):

The Company still has not received the Chinese regulatory approval of
the 2% equity interest transfer.
(Third bullet point):
The Company believes the Chinese government will gradually loosen the
control in telecommunication business after entering the World Trade
Organization. The Company is also actively seeking another acceptable legal
mechanism to speed up the transfer of the 2% ownership.
(Fourth bullet point):
The operations of Beijing Quicknet is currently managed by the CEO of
such Company, Mr. Xin Wei, who reports almost daily to Angela Du, the Company's
President. All accounting for the Beijing Quicknet is handled by accountants in
China and reviewed monthly by the Company's accountant.
In response to the last subcomment under Comment #4, the amendment to
the Share Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 10.1a as filed in the 8-K dated February
24, 2004) defines the 49% and the 2% arrangement for $100 when approval is given
by PRC. This amendment also provides the voting of all shares by Xin Net and the
appointment of directors, officers, and managers. (See
sec.gov/archives/edgar/data/1082603/000107258804000040/ex1a.txt.) The 8- K/A of
February 25, 2004 disclosed that the other owners of Quicknet were Fang Hu and
Bo Yu. Xin Wei acquired the 2% interest in the Spring of 2004 to comply with
Chinese regulations.
5. In response to Comment #5, the data under section "A. By geographic
areas" for 2003 was incorrectly entered during the Edgarization of the 10-KSB.
The10-KSB/A, as filed, corrects the errors at p. F-15. The amendment is as
follows:

6. In response to Comment #6, the Company was able to conclude that the
disclosure controls and procedures were effective at December 31, 2004 when,
during the course of the preparation of the financial statements for the audit,
the Company did not find any significant financial discrepancies or disclosure
discrepancies from its internal statements or its quarterly statements.
The Company did not have, in certain areas, documented control
procedures for its subsidiary Beijing Quicknet which approximated those in the
C0S0 framework (which has become the model by default), in a manual. These areas
were in expenditure approval and documentation in the Beijing Quicknet
subsidiary and in the recording and tracking of subscription revenue in the
Beijing Quicknet subsidiary. Management and its internal accountants made their
determination of this deficiency after the first quarter of 2005 as they were
preparing the financial statements for review as a precaution to ensure its
foreign operations were in compliance with all controls and procedures necessary
to have accurate financials.
7. In response to Comment #7, the Company has not determined that any
inaccuracy in the financial statements resulted, merely than controls could be
improved for its foreign subsidiary. The Company has implemented the following
major changes in procedures set forth in its manual:
A. Expenditure controls/approvals and documentation by Board
Committee for the subsidiary in China, Beijing Quicknet; and
B. Subscription accounting and tracking for its subsidiary in
China, Beijing Quicknet.
All changes are expected to be fully implemented by year end 2005.
The Company has provided the responses above. It does not appear, in
reviewing the comment, that it is necessary to revise any of the text in Item 8A
in response to Comments #6 and #7.
8. In response to Comment #8, the following has been added to the
notes to the financial statements under the "Section: Legal Proceedings":

On Feb.7, 2005, China Mobility Solutions, Inc. was sued by Sino-I Tech-
nology Limited for $88,270 for breach of warranty and a claim under a guarantee.
The Company is vigorously defending the suit. Discovery is proceeding.
The "Tandy" letter was filed on correspondence on September 13, 2005.
We hope this response together with the 10-KSB/A (as attached) filed is
an adequate response upon your review.
Sincerely,
/s/ Michael A. Littman
