The Company has taken certain restructuring steps to provide the necessary capital to continue its operations. These steps included: (1) Tightly budgeting and controlling all expenses; (2) Expanding product lines and recruiting a strong sales team to significantly increase sales revenue and profit in 2014; (3) The Company plans to continue actively seeing additional funding opportunities to improve and expand upon its product lines.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents— Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivables are carried at original invoice amount less estimates made for doubtful receivables. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts on a quarterly basis based on a review of the current status of existing receivables, account aging, historical collection experience, subsequent collections, management's evaluation of the effect of existing economic conditions, and other known factors. The provision is provided for the above estimates made for all doubtful receivables. Account balances are charged off against the allowance only when the Company considers it is probable that a receivable will not be recovered. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.

Inventory — Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by using the specific identification method. The Company periodically reviews the age and turnover of its inventory to determine whether any inventory has become obsolete or has declined in value, and charges to operations for known and anticipated inventory obsolescence. Inventory consists substantially of finished goods and is net of an allowance for slow-moving inventory of $562,889 and $612,216 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:

Expenditures for major renewals and betterment that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting profit or loss is reflected in the statement of income for the period.

Intangible Assets —Include cost of patent applications that are deferred and charged to operations over their useful lives. The accumulated amortization is $26,026 and $25,597 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets was $954 and $221 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Revenue Recognition — The Company derives revenues from the sale of equipments and parts to customers. The Company’s standard shipping term is Free on Board (FOB) shipping point. The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment for the sales under the term FOB shipping point. For the sales under other shipping term arrangements, such as FOB destination, the Company recognizes revenue when title passes to and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer based on the terms of the sales. Usually no returns, discounts or other allowances are provided to customers. Shipping and handling charges to customers are included in net sales. Shipping and handling charges incurred by the Company are included in cost of goods sold.

9

Research and Development Expenses — Research and development costs are generally expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes — The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some or all of any deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Stock Based Compensation — The Company applies the fair value provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires the recognition of compensation expense, using a fair-value based method, for costs related to all share-based payments including stock options. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the grant date using an option pricing model. The Company does not have any awards of stock-based compensation issued and outstanding at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Loss Per Share — The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”) which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of the diluted loss per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have any common equivalent shares.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its long lived assets for impairment annually or more often if events and circumstances warrant. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell. Management has determined that no impairments of long-lived assets currently exist.

Foreign-currency Transactions — Foreign-currency transactions are recorded in New Taiwan dollar (“NTD”) at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Gains or losses resulting from the application of different foreign exchange rates when cash in foreign currency is converted into New Taiwan dollar, or when foreign-currency receivables or payables are settled, are credited or charged to income in the year of conversion or settlement. On the balance sheet dates, the balances of foreign-currency assets and liabilities are restated at the prevailing exchange rates and the resulting differences are charged to current income except for those foreign currencies denominated investments in shares of stock where such differences are accounted for as translation adjustments under stockholders’ equity.

10

Translation Adjustment —The Company financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar ($), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currency is New Taiwan dollar (“NTD”). Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any differences between the initially recorded amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency transaction in the consolidated statements of income. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Any differences are taken to profit or loss as a gain or loss on foreign currency translation in the statements of income.

In accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, the Company translates the assets and liabilities into U.S. dollar ($) using the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date and the statements of operations and cash flows are translated at an average rate during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation from NTD into U.S. dollar are recorded in stockholders’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements — In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an amendment to Topic 350-Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. This amendment is intended to simplify how entities test indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment. The amendment permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative impairment test described in Topic 350. No further testing is required if the qualitative factors indicate that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. This amendment is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact on the current year.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This ASU does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, this guidance requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. For public entities, the guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. For nonpublic entities, the guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. For public entities, the guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities, the guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

All statements other than statements of historical fact made in report are forward looking. In particular, the statements herein regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “estimates,” “could,” “possibly,” “probably,” anticipates,” “projects,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” or “should” or other variations or similar words. No assurances can be given that the future results anticipated by the forward-looking statements will be achieved. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results may differ significantly from management’s expectations. The potential risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied herein are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, included herewith. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $14,214, as compared to $66,577 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This represents a decrease of $52,363 or approximately 79% compared to the prior year period. The decrease in net sales is primarily the result of a decrease in demand for end products due to poor economic conditions.

Cost of sales decreased by $103,015 or approximately 99.69% to $318 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to $103,333 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Gross profit (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $13,896, compared to $(36,756), for the same period in 2013. Gross profit (loss) as a percentage of net sales was approximately 98% in the first quarter of 2014, compared to approximately (55)% in the same period in 2013. The higher gross profit rate in the first quarter of 2014 was primarily due to discounted sales of old models.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, selling, general and administrative expenses totaled 198,678. This was an increase of $26,710 or approximately 16% as compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily the result of the increase in rent, salary, travel, and professional expenses.

13

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, loss from operations increased to $(184,782) as compared to $(208,724) for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This represents a decreased loss of $23,942 or approximately 11% comparing the two periods. The decrease of loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is primarily the result of an increase in gross profit, which is partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.

Other income (expenses) was $2,147 and $3,664 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. This represents decreased income of $1,517 or approximately 41%. The main reason for this decreased other income was interest expense of $2,696, which is partially offset by an increase in a gain on foreign currency exchange of $4,700, as compared to $3,664 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Our net loss was $(182,635) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to a net loss of $(205,060) for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decreased loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was due to the reasons described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $264,606 at March 31, 2014 and $91,801 at December 31, 2013. Our total current assets were $762,631 at March 31, 2014, as compared to $804,593 at December 31, 2013. Our total current liabilities were $440,255 at March 31, 2014 as compared to $353,815 at December 31, 2013.

We had working capital at March 31, 2014 of $322,376 compared with working capital of $450,778 at December 31, 2013. This decrease in working capital was primarily due to a decrease in account receivable and increase in short-term bank loans, which is partial offset by increases in cash and cash equivalents, inventory, and due to related parties, and decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Net cash flow used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $86,033, a decrease of 18,589 compared to $104,622 net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in the cash used in operating activities was primarily due to decreased net loss, increases in inventory and foreign currency exchange gain, and a decrease in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accrued expenses, and accounts payable.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $256,999, which was primarily due to proceeds from short-term bank loans and loans from an officer and shareholder.

Net change in cash and cash equivalents was an increase of $172,805 during the three months ended March 31. 2014.

Inflation

Our opinion is that inflation has not had a material effect on our operations and is not expected to have any material effect on our operations.

14

Climate Change

Our opinion is that neither climate change, nor governmental regulations related to climate change, have had, or are expected to have, any material effect on our operations.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide this information.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and (2) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms.

There was no change to our internal controls or in other factors that could affect these controls during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

On January 24, 2013, Artic Automation Co., Ltd. (the “Plaintiff”) filed a complaint against All Fine Technology Co. (TWN), (the “Company”), at Taiwan Taoyuan District Court in Taiwan, for not paying accounts payable of NT$ 990,875, equivalent to approximately $ 32,540. The Plaintiff claimed that the Company has the obligation to pay for certain products. However, the Company disputed Plaintiff’s claim, as those products were defective and not able to be sold. The case went to trial on March 20, 2013, and the court pronounced its judgment that the Company had to pay the requested amount. An appeal was filed on December 27, 2013, by the Company. The hearing for the appeal was held on January 2, 2014 at Taiwan High Court in Taipei City, Taiwan. On April 23, 2014, the Company and the Plaintiff reached a settlement that the Company will repay NT$820,000, equivalent to approximately $26,930 to the Plaintiff on May 7, 2014. As such, the case was closed. The liability was recorded as of March 31, 2014.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide this information; provided, however:

The market price of our common stock may limit its eligibility for clearing house deposit.

We have been advised that if the market price for shares of our common stock is less than $0.10 per share, The Depository Trust Company and other securities clearing firms may decline to accept shares of our common stock for deposit and refuse to clear trades. This would materially and adversely affect the marketability and liquidity of our common stock, and, accordingly, may materially and adversely affect the value of an investment in our common stock.
