Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
         -------------------------------------------------

     On June 11,  2004,  the Issuer and Oriental  Wave  Holding Ltd.  ("Oriental
Wave") and Ms. Liu and two other  shareholders  of Oriental  Wave entered into a
Share Purchase Agreement.  Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement,  Ms.
Liu and the two  other  shareholders  of  Oriental  Wave  would  receive  in the
aggregate  shares of common  stock equal to 68.35% of the  Issuer's  outstanding
common stock after  consummation of the acquisition of Oriental Wave in exchange
for all their shares of Oriental  Wave.  In addition,  Ms. Liu and the two other
shareholders  of Oriental  Wave also would receive  additional  shares of common
stock  ("Additional  Dragon  Closing  Shares")  such that all the Oriental  Wave
shareholders  will continue to own 68.35% of the Issuer's common stock if all of
the Issuer's outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock as of the
date of the closing are exercised.

     On January 11, 2005,  the  Issuer's  shareholders  approved  two  proposals
related to the  acquisition of Oriental Wave, and the closing of the acquisition
of Oriental Wave pursuant to the Share  Purchase  Agreement  occurred on January

4,450,200  shares of common stock, or 6.8% of the  outstanding  common stock and
428,240 shares of Additional  Dragon Closing Shares.  Of the 4,450,200 shares of
common stock,  2,653,340  shares are held in escrow.  The shares of common stock
held in escrow will be released on the first and second anniversary dates of the
close provided that the Company has made no claims against Oriental Wave and its
shareholders for  misrepresentations  made in the Share Purchase Agreement.  Ms.
Liu will retain voting rights  (excluding the Additional  Dragon Closing Shares)
of those  shares held in escrow.  In addition,  the  Additional  Dragon  Closing
Shares are being held in escrow and such Additional Dragon Closing Shares may be
released or cancelled  depending on whether certain of the Issuer's  options and
warrants  have been  subsequently  exercised  or  expired.  Ms. Liu will have no
voting rights or dispositive  powers over the  Additional  Dragon Closing Shares
while  they are held in  escrow,  and they will not be deemed to be  outstanding
unless they are released from escrow.

                                                                     Page 3 of 6
