NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. The Company

ACL Semiconductors, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 17, 2002 and acquired Atlantic Components Ltd., a Hong Kong based company (“Atlantic”) through a reverse-acquisition that was effective September 30, 2003. The Company’s principal activities are distribution of electronic components under the "Samsung" brand name which comprise DRAM and Graphic RAM, FLASH, SRAM and MASK ROM for the Hong Kong and Southern China markets. Atlantic was incorporated in Hong Kong on May 30, 1991. On October 2, 2003, the Company set up a wholly-owned subsidiary, Alpha Perform Technology Limited (“Alpha”), a British Virgin Islands company, to provide services on behalf of the Company in jurisdictions outside of Hong Kong. Effective January 1, 2004, the Company ceased the operations of Alpha and all the related activities were consolidated with those of Atlantic.

NOTE 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation - The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of ACL Semiconductors Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, Atlantic and Alpha (collectively, “ACL” or the “Company”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and which are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of ACL as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and the cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

The results of operations for three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

Basis of Consolidation - The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ACL Semiconductors Inc. and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates - Preparing condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues recognition, allowance for doubtful account, long lived assets impairment, inventories, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results and outcomes could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Revenue Recognition - The Company derives revenues from resale of computer memory products. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB 104”). Under SAB 104, revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred or services are rendered, the sales price is determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue typically is recognized at time of shipment. Sales are recorded net of discounts, rebates, and returns, which historically were not material.

Currency Reporting - Amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures are stated in U.S. Dollars, unless stated otherwise. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”) as most of the Company’s operations are conducted in HKD. Foreign currency transactions (outside Hong Kong) during the period are translated into HKD according to the prevailing exchange rate at the relevant transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet dates are translated into HKD at period-end exchange rates

For the purpose of preparing these consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of ACL reported in HKD have been translated into U.S. Dollars at US$1.00=HKD7.8, a fixed exchange rate maintained between the United States and China.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Concentration of Risk - The Company’s distribution operations are dependent on the availability of an adequate supply of electronic components under the “Samsung” brand name which have historically been principally supplied to the Company by Samsung Electronics H.K. Co., Ltd. (“Samsung HK”), a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a Korean public company, pursuant to a distributorship agreement between the Company and Samsung HK (the “Distributorship Agreement”). Samsung HK supplied approximately 65% and 49% of materials acquired by the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Distributorship Agreement has a one-year term and contains certain sales quotas to be met by the Company. The Distributorship Agreement has been renewed for one-year terms more than ten times, most recently on March 1, 2009. The Company has never failed to meet the sales quotas set forth in the Distributorship Agreement, however, there is no assurance that Samsung HK will continue to supply sufficient electronic components to the Company on terms and prices acceptable to the Company or in volumes sufficient to meet the Company’s current and anticipated demand, nor can assurance be given that the Company would be able, in the event Samsung does not supply sufficient volumes, to secure sufficient products from other third party supplier(s) on acceptable terms. In addition, the Company’s operations and business viability are to a large extent dependent on the provision of management services and financial support by Mr. Yang.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company purchased $38,725,592 and $25,899,052, respectively, of components from Samsung HK. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company’s accounts payable, net of rebate receivables due from Samsung, totaled $9,479,988 and $6,695,409, respectively.

Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications were made to the prior period consolidated financial statements in order to conform the current consolidated financial statement presentation.

Earnings Per Common Share - In accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” the basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed similarly to basic earnings (loss) per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares subject to outstanding options or that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”. This FASB FSP provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate that a transaction is not orderly. This FSP will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and will be applied prospectively. The Company does not anticipate that this FSP will have any material impact upon its preparation of its financial statements.

On April 1, 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies”. This FASB FSP amends and clarifies FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations”, to address application issues raised by preparers, auditors, and members of the legal profession on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. This FSP will be effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not anticipate that this FSP will have any material impact upon its preparation of its financial statements.

On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”. This FSP amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary of equity securities. This FSP will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that this FSP will have any material impact upon its preparation of its financial statements.

On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. This FSP amends FASB Statement No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. This FSP will be effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that this FSP will have any material impact upon its preparation of its financial statements.

In January 2009, the FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-1, “Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20”. This FSP amends the impairment guidance in EITF issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets”, to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. This FSP also retains and emphasizes the objective of an other-than-temporary impairment assessment and the related disclosure requirements in FASB Statement No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, and other related guidance. This FSP will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2009, and will be applied prospectively. The Company does not anticipate that this FSP will have any material impact upon its preparation of its financial statements.

NOTE 6. Stock Options

On March 31, 2006, the Board of Directors adopted the 2006 Equity Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”) and the majority stockholder approved the Plan by written consent. The purpose of the Plan is to provide additional incentive to employees, directors and consultants and to promote the success of the Company business. The Plan permits the Company to grant both incentive stock options (“Incentive Stock Options” or “ISOs”) within the meaning of Section 422 of the of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), and other options with do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options (the “Non-Qualified Options”) and stock awards.

Unless earlier terminated by the Board of Directors, the Plan (but not outstanding options) terminates on March 31, 2016, after which no further awards may be granted under the Plan. The Plan is administered by the full Board of Directors or, at the Board of Director’s discretion, by a committee of the Board of Directors consisting of at least two persons who are “disinterested persons” defined under Rule 16b-2(c)(ii) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Committee”).

Recipients of options under the Plan (“Optionees”) are selected by the Board of Directors or the Committee. The Board of Directors or Committee determines the terms of each option grant including (1) the purchase price of shares subject to options, (2) the dates on which options become exercisable and (3) the expiration date of each option (which may not exceed ten years from the date of grant). The minimum per share purchase price of options granted under the Plan for Incentive Stock Options and Non-Qualified Options is the fair market value (as defined in the Plan) on the date the option is granted.

ACL SEMICONDUCTORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Optionees will have no voting, dividend or other rights as stockholders with respect to shares of Common Stock covered by options prior to becoming the holders of record of such shares. The purchase price upon the exercise of options may be paid in cash, by certified bank or cashier’s check, by tendering stock held by the Optionee, as well as by cashless exercise either through the surrender of other shares subject to the option or through a broker.

NOTE 11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value measurements are determined under a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, distinguishing between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (“observable inputs”) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (“unobservable inputs”).

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, we primarily use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets (“market approach”). We also consider the impact of a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal activity to identify transactions that are not orderly.

The highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Securities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

	The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:

	Level 1 -	Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

	Level 2 -	Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

	Level 3 -	Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

Credit risk adjustments are applied to reflect the company’s own credit risk when valuing all liabilities measured at fair value. The methodology is consistent with that applied in developing counterparty credit risk adjustments, but incorporates the company’s own credit risk as observed in the credit default swap market.

NOTE 12. Derivative instruments

On February 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS 161 as referenced in Note 1. The adoption of SFAS 161 requires additional disclosures about the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, the accounting for the derivative instruments and related hedged items under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), and the effect of derivative instruments and related hedged items on the financial statements. The adoption had no financial impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements.

Since all of the Company sales are done in USD, the bank is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of its business. As part of its risk management strategy, the Company purchases FX forward contracts from the banks to secure the exchange rate for a period of time in order to hedge any FX exposure between HKD and USD throughout the purchase and sale period. The Company applies hedge accounting based upon the criteria established by SFAS 133, whereby the Company designates its derivatives as cash flow hedges. Cash flows from the derivative programs were classified as operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

As of March 31, 2009, there is a participating forward currency option agreement between the Company and Standard Chartered Bank for the Company to buy US$500,000 from Standard Chartered Bank at a contract rate of 7.735 at specified dates up to January 7, 2010 for settlement with the bank on a monthly basis. According to the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to buy USD in triple amounts if the spot rate is less than the contract rate at settlement dates. The gain on this forward contract during the year ended December 31, 2008 was $36,346 and has been recorded in “Net income on cashflow hedge” under “Other income (expenses)”.

As of March 31, 2009, the target redemption forward currency option agreement between the Company and Standard Chartered Bank for the Company to buy US$750,000 from Standard Chartered Bank at a lower strike contract rate of 7.75 and an upper strike contract rate of 7.85 at specified dates up to April 29, 2010 for settlement with the bank on a monthly basis has matured and terminated on January 29, 2009. According to the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to buy USD in triple amounts if the spot rate is less than the lower strike contract rate or greater than the upper strike contract rate at settlement dates. The gain on this forward contract has been recorded in “Net income on cashflow hedge” under “Other income (expenses)”.

As of March 31, 2009, there is a pivot bonus forward currency option agreement between the Company and Standard Chartered Bank for the Company to buy US$1,000,000 from Standard Chartered Bank at a lower strike contract rate of 7.73 and an upper strike contract rate 7.749 at specified dates up to July 2, 2009 for settlement with the bank on a monthly basis. According to the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to buy in triple amounts if the spot rate is less than the lower strike contract rate at settlement date. The gain on this forward contract during the year ended December 31, 2008 was $56,410 and has been recorded in “Net income on cashflow hedge” under “Other income (expenses)”.

As of March 31, 2009, the Company has holdings of US$500,000 Commodity Basket Linked Notes which were issued by Standard Chartered Bank at specified dates up to February 17, 2009. According to the terms of agreements, the Company agreed to receive interest at a rate equal to 6% if the Basket Return is larger than 0% and 100% redeemed if the Basket Return is less than or equal to 0% on the maturity date. The Company fully redeemed the securities at cost value on the maturity date of February 17, 2009

Company Overview and Background

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Atlantic Components Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Atlantic”), is engaged primarily in the business of distribution of memory products under the “Samsung” brand name which principally comprise DRAM, Graphic RAM and FLASH for the Hong Kong and Southern China markets. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Alpha Perform Technology Limited (“Alpha”), which previously engaged in this business, ceased activities as of January 1, 2004, and all its operations were consolidated with those of Atlantic.

As of March 31, 2009, ACL had more than 150 active customers in Hong Kong and Southern China.

ACL is in the mature stage of operations. As a result, the relationships between sales, cost of sales, and operating expenses reflected in the financial information included in this document to a large extent represent future expected financial relationships. Much of the cost of sales and operating expenses reflected in the Company’s financial statements are recurring in nature.

Overview

Net sales

Sales from Samsung HK are recognized upon the transfer of legal title of the electronic components to the customers. The quantities of memory products the Company sells fluctuate with changes in demand from its customers. The suggested prices set by Samsung HK that the Company charge its customers are subject to change by the Company based on prevailing economic conditions and their impact on the market.

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009 (sometimes referred to as “2009 1Q”) were $61,420,627, representing an increase of 16%, or $8,512,120, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2008 (sometimes referred to as “2008 1Q”). The sales increase was primarily driven by the larger demand for Samsung’s products as an ongoing reduction in production capacities was observed among Samsung’s competitors - Hynix and other first tier memory makers such as Elpida and Micron.

The Company’s gross profit for 2009 1Q was $2,665,724, representing a 412% increase compared to $520,171 for 2008 1Q. The gross profit margin for the Company for 2009 1Q was 4.34%, compared to 0.98% for 2008 1Q. The increases in gross profit and gross profit margin were mainly attributed to sales price increases as the memory components market recovers after the prevailing oversupply condition observed last year. In addition, our lower purchase cost base from Samsung helped improve our gross profit margin as Samsung has significantly increased its 56nm DRAM, 35nm and 42nm NAND flash output volumes. The production output level of the first tier memory makers has remained steady thus far, while the memory makers’ inventory level has gradually returned to a normal level. Manufacturers began to place secure orders with suppliers in the beginning of 2009 1Q as they worry about potential supply shortages. These orders had driven up prices in the market as the Company recorded an average price increase of approximately 70-80% for flash products due to the increasing demand for consumer electronics products and 40-50% for graphics products because of the bankruptcy of Qimonda. As a result, the combined effects of our higher selling prices and lower purchase cost base have greatly increased the Company’s gross profit as well as its gross profit margin.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales consists of costs of goods purchased from Samsung HK, and purchases from other Samsung authorized distributors. Many factors affect the Company’s gross margin, including, but not limited to, the volume of production orders placed on behalf of its customers, the competitiveness of the memory products industry and the availability of cheaper Samsung memory products from overseas Samsung distributors due to regional demand and supply situations. Nevertheless, the Company’s procurement operations are supported by Samsung HK pursuant to a distributorship agreement between the Company and Samsung HK. However, the distributorship is for a one-year period and even though it has been renewed more than 10 times, there is no assurance that it will be renewed again in the future.

Operating expenses

The Company’s operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were comprised of sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses only.

Sales and marketing expenses consisted primarily of costs associated with advertising and marketing activities.

General and administrative expenses include all corporate and administrative functions that serve to support the Company’s current and future operations and provide an infrastructure to support future growth. Major items in this category include management and staff salaries, rent/leases, professional services, and travel and entertainment. The Company expects these expenses to increase as a result of increased legal and accounting fees anticipated in connection with the Company’s compliance with ongoing reporting and accounting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission and as a result of anticipated expansion by the Company of its business operations. Sales and marketing expenses are expected to fluctuate as a percentage of sales due to the addition of sales personnel and various marketing activities planned throughout the year.

Interest expense, including finance charges, relates primarily to Atlantic’s short-term and long-term bank borrowings and capital lease obligations, which the Company intends to reduce.

$ 2,665,724	$ 520,171	412.5%

Gross profit increased by $2,145,553, or 412%, from $520,171 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $2,665,724 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in gross profits resulted primarily from the significant price rebound as the memory components market recovers after the prevailing oversupply condition observed last year and the Company maintained the lower purchase cost for products supplied by Samsung when the products’ market price experienced sales price increases during the first quarter of 2009.

Sales and Marketing

The following table presents the sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively:

Three Months Ended March 31,
2009	2008	% Change

$ 19,418	$ 17,777	9.2%

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $1,641, or 9.2%, from $17,777 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $19,418 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Such increase was directly attributable to and reflective of an increased sales and marketing effort by the Company.

General and Administrative

Three Months Ended March 31,
2009	2008	% Change

$ 1,287,689	$ 774,797	66.2%

The following table presents the general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively:

General and administrative expenses increased $512,892, or 66.2%, from $774,797 in the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $1,287,689 in the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase was principally attributable to an increase in directors’ remuneration and staff salaries.

Income from Operations

The following table presents the income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively:

Three Months Ended March 31,
2009	2008	% Change

$ 1,358,617	$ (272,403)	598.8%

Income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased by $1,631,020 from a loss of $272,403 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $1,358,617 in the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase was the result of an increase of gross profit during the first quarter of 2009.

Interest Income

The following table presents the interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively:

Three Months Ended March 31,
2009	2008	% Change

$ 4,922	$ 27,403	-82.0%

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, interest income decreased $22,481, or 82%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. These decreases in interest income for both comparative periods were due to a reduction in interest from restricted cash and lower interest rates.

Interest Expense

The following table presents the interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively:

Three Months Ended March 31,
2009	2008	% Change

$ 166,892	$ 223,827	-25.4%

Interest expense decreased by $56,935, or 25.4%, from $223,827 in the three months ended March 31, 2008, to $166,892 in the three months ended March 31, 2009. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in the Company’s use of “line of credit borrowing” by two bank facilities that were canceled during the first quarter of 2009.

Net Income on Cash Flow Hedge

The following table presents the net income on cash flow hedge for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively:

Three Months Ended March 31,
2009	2008	% Change

$ 20,349	$ 45,115	-54.9%

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, income on cash flow hedge decreased by $24,766, or 54.9%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decreases were due to the expiration or termination of several currency hedging contracts in 2009.

Income Tax Provision

The following table presents the income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively:

Three Months Ended March 31,
2009	2008	% Change

$ 217,949	$ -	N/A

Income tax provision increased by $217,949 from $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $217,949 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was due to an increase in the estimated Hong Kong taxes payable by Atlantic.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity have been cash from operations, bank lines of credit and credit terms from suppliers. The Company’s principal uses of cash have been for operations and working capital. The Company anticipates these uses will continue to be its principal uses of cash in the future.

As of March 31, 2009, the Company had revolving lines of credit and loan facilities in the aggregate amount of $28,058,973, of which $12,577,484 was available, representing an approximately 9% reduction in the Company’s borrowing lines of credit from December 31, 2008, which reduction was attributable to the termination of two lines of credit with two banks in the aggregate amount of $2,756,411. In connection therewith, $1,097,435 of restricted bank deposits were released to the Company. Other detailed disclosures on credit facilities are made in Note 8 and Note 9 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, including the amounts of facilities, outstanding balances, maturity date, and pledges of assets.

The Company’s ability to draw down under its various credit and loan facilities is, in each case, subject to the ongoing willingness of the relevent lending institution to make advances thereunder, and security coverage ratios as required from time to time and each facility (other than with respect to certain long term mortgage loans) is payable within 90 days of drawdown. As a result of the general tightening of credit markets in Hong Kong and Asia, many lenders have revised the terms of their revolving credit lines to levels the Company did not deem commercially reasonable. Accordingly, on a case by case basis, the Company has elected to terminate or not renew several of its credit facilities resulting in a significant reduction in the Company’s available short term borrowings.

To address the reduction in available credit facilities, the Company is relying on its own cash reserves and cash flows from operations to fund its ongoing operations and has tightened the credit terms it extends to its customers. As a result, the Company does not expect that the reduction in available credit facilities is going to have a materially adverse impact upon its operations for the foreseeable future.

The Company will continue to seek additional sources of available financing on acceptable terms; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis or on acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, if the results are negatively impacted and delayed as a result of political and economic factors beyond management’s control, our capital requirements may increase.

The short-term borrowings from banks to finance the cash flow required to finance the purchase of Samsung memory products from Samsung HK must be made a day in advance of the release of goods from Samsung HK’s warehouse before receiving payments from customers upon physical delivery of such goods in Hong Kong which, in most instances, take approximately two days from the date of such delivery.

The following factors, among others, could have negative impacts on the Company’s results of operations and financial position: the termination or change in terms of the Distributorship Agreement; pricing pressures in the industry; a continued downturn in the economy in general or in the memory products sector; an unexpected decrease in demand for Samsung’s memory products; the Company’s ability to attract new customers; an increase in competition in the memory products market; and the ability of some of the Company’s customers to obtain financing.

Although the Company believes its expectations of future growth are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. The Company is under no duty to update our expectations to conform them to actual results or to reflect changes in expectations.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

In the three months ended March 31, 2009, net cash provided by operating activities was $1,705,436 while in the three months ended March 31, 2008, net cash used for operating activities was $194,582, an increase of $1,900,018. This increase was primarily due to an increase of accounts receivable and accounts payable.

Net Cash Used Provided by Investing Activities

In the three months ended March 31, 2009, net cash provided by investing activities was $1,597,394, while in the three months ended March 31, 2008, net cash provided by investing activities was $192,330, an increase of $1,405,064. This increase was mainly due to a decrease of restricted cash and restricted securities due to cancellation of two bank lines of credit.

Net Cash Used for Financing Activities

In the three months ended March 31, 2009, net cash used for financing activities was $4,189,889, while in the three months ended March 31, 2008, net cash used for financing activities was $343,121, a decrease of $3,846,768. This decrease was primarily due to the repayments of bank borrowings.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of ACL Semiconductors Inc. include the accounts of Atlantic Components Ltd., a Hong Kong subsidiary and Alpha Perform Technology Limited, a BVI subsidiary. All significant inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Critical Accounting Polices

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) recently issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies” (“FRR 60”), suggesting companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In FRR 60, the SEC defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, ACL’s most critical accounting policies include: inventory valuation, which affects cost of sales and gross margin; policies for revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, and stock-based compensation. The methods, estimates and judgments ACL uses in applying these most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results ACL reports in its consolidated financial statements.

Inventory Valuation.

ACL’s policy is to value inventories at the lower of cost or market on a part-by-part basis. This policy requires ACL to make estimates regarding the market value of its inventories, including an assessment of excess or obsolete inventories. ACL determines excess and obsolete inventories based on an estimate of the future demand for its products within a specified time horizon, generally 12 months. The estimates ACL uses for demand are also used for near-term capacity planning and inventory purchasing and are consistent with its revenue forecasts. If ACL’s demand forecast is greater than its actual demand it may be required to take additional excess inventory charges, which will decrease gross margin and net operating results in the future.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.

ACL maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of ACL’s customers to make required payments. ACL’s allowance for doubtful accounts is based on ACL’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts, the aging of accounts receivable, ACL’s history of bad debts, and the general condition of the industry. If a major customer’s credit worthiness deteriorates, or ACL’s customers’ actual defaults exceed ACL’s historical experience, ACL’s estimates could change and impact ACL’s reported results.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. This evaluation was retrospective and conducted as of March 31, 2009, the last day of the fiscal quarter covered by this Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2009 because we have not completed the remediation discussed elsewhere in this Item 4T of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Our management has concluded that there are material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. These weaknesses include:

Company-level controls. We did not maintain effective company-level controls as defined in the Internal Control—Integrated Framework published by COSO. These deficiencies related to each of the five components of internal control as defined by COSO (control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring). These deficiencies resulted in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected. Specifically,

Our control environment did not sufficiently promote effective internal control over financial reporting throughout our organizational structure, and this material weakness was a contributing factor to the other material weaknesses described in this Item 4T;
Our board of directors has not established adequate financial reporting monitoring activities to mitigate the risk of management override, specifically:

	—	none of our board of directors is independent;
	—	no financial expert on our board of directors has been designated;
	—	no formally documented financial analysis is presented to our board of directors, specifically fluctuation, variance, trend analysis or business performance reviews;
	—	an effective whistleblower program has not been established;
	—	there is insufficient oversight of external audit specifically related to fees, scope of activities, executive sessions, and monitoring of results;
	—	there is insufficient oversight of accounting principle implementation;
	—	there is insufficient review of related party transactions; and
	—	there is insufficient review of recording of stock transactions.

We have not maintained sufficient competent evidence to support the effective operation of our internal controls over financial reporting, specifically related to our board of directors’ oversight of quarterly and annual SEC filings; and management’s review of SEC filings, journal entries, account analyses and reconciliations, and critical spreadsheet controls;
We had inadequate risk assessment controls, including inadequate mechanisms for anticipating and identifying financial reporting risks; and for reacting to changes in the operating environment that could have a material effect on financial reporting;
There was inadequate communication from management to employees regarding the general importance of controls and employees duties and control responsibilities;

We had inadequate monitoring controls, including inadequate staffing and procedures to ensure periodic evaluations of internal controls to ensure that appropriate personnel regularly obtain evidence that controls are functioning effectively and that identified control deficiencies are remediated timely;
We had an inadequate number of trained finance and accounting personnel with appropriate expertise in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, in certain circumstances, an effective secondary review of technical accounting matters was not performed;
We had inadequate controls over our management information systems related to program changes, segregation of duties, and access controls;
We had inadequate access and change controls over end-user computing spreadsheets. Specifically, our controls over the completeness, accuracy, validity and restricted access and review of certain spreadsheets used in the period-end financial statement preparation and reporting process were not designed appropriately or did not operate as designed; and
We were unable to assess effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in a timely matter.

Financial statement preparation and review procedures. We had inadequate policies, procedures and personnel to ensure that accurate, reliable interim and annual consolidated financial statements were prepared and reviewed on a timely basis. Specifically, we had insufficient: a) levels of supporting documentation; b) review and supervision within the accounting and finance departments; c) preparation and review of footnote disclosures accompanying our financial statements; and d) technical accounting resources. These deficiencies resulted in errors in the financial statements and more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected.

Inadequate reviews of account reconciliations, analyses and journal entries. We had inadequate review procedures over account reconciliations, account and transaction analyses, and journal entries. Specifically, deficiencies were noted in the following areas: a) management review of supporting documentation, calculations and assumptions used to prepare the financial statements, including spreadsheets and account analyses; and b) management review of journal entries recorded during the financial statement preparation process. These deficiencies resulted in a more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected.

Inadequate controls over purchases and disbursements. We had inadequate controls over the segregation of duties and authorization of purchases, and the disbursement of funds. These weaknesses increase the likelihood that misappropriation of assets and/or unauthorized purchases and disbursements could occur and not be detected in a timely manner. These deficiencies resulted in errors in the financial statements and in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected. Specifically,

We had inadequate procedures and controls to ensure proper segregation of duties within our purchasing and disbursements processes and accounting systems;
We had inadequate procedures and controls to ensure proper authorization of purchase orders; and
We had inadequate approvals for payment of invoices and wire transfers.

As of March 31, 2009, we had not completed the remediation of any of these material weaknesses. In addition, we failed to furnish our management report on internal control over financial reporting for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 in a timely manner which renders our disclosure controls and procedures ineffective.

We are addressing the outstanding material weaknesses described above, as well as our control environment. We also expect to undertake the following remediation efforts:

We plan to evaluate the composition of our board of directors and to determine whether to add independent directors or to replace an inside director with an independent director, in both cases, in order to have a majority of our board of directors become independent;
We plan on drafting quarterly financial statement variance analysis of actual versus budget with relevant explanations of variances for distribution to our board of directors.

We are in the process of developing, documenting, and communicating a formal whistleblower program to employees. We expect to post the policy on the Company web site in the governance section and in the common areas in the office. We plan on providing a toll free number for reporting complaints and will hire a specific third party whistleblower company to monitor the hotline and provide monthly reports of activity to our board of directors.
Management intends to continue to provide SEC and US GAAP training for employees and retain external consultants with appropriate SEC and US GAAP expertise to assist in financial statement review, account analysis review, review and filing of SEC reports, policy and procedure compilation assistance, and other related advisory services.
We intend on developing an internal control over financial reporting evidence policy and procedures which contemplates, among other items, a listing of all identified key internal controls over financial reporting, assignment of responsibility to process owners within the Company, communication of such listing to all applicable personnel, and specific policies and procedures around the nature and retention of evidence of the operation of controls.
We intend on undertaking a restricted access review to analyze all financial modules and the list of persons authorized to have edit access to each. We will remove or add authorized personnel as appropriate to mitigate the risks of management or other override.
We plan to re-assign roles and responsibilities in order to improve segregation of duties.

These specific actions are part of an overall program that we are currently developing in an effort to remediate the material weaknesses described above. We likely will not have sufficient time to implement our remediation plan before testing our internal control over financial reporting for our current fiscal year that will end December 31, 2009.

Attached as exhibits to this report are certifications of our CEO and CFO, which are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The discussion above in this Item 4T includes information concerning the controls and controls evaluation referred to in the certifications and those certifications should be read in conjunction with this Item 4T for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

We are committed to improving our internal control processes and will continue to diligently review our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures. The failure to implement adequate controls may result in deficient and inaccurate reports under the Exchange Act.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
