Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”) amends the Schedule 13D originally filed on January 11, 2008 (the “Schedule 13D”) by Whitehorse Technology Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Whitehorse”), Tu Guo Shen (“Mr. Tu”) and Li Zhi Qun (“Ms. Li,” together with Whitehorse and Mr. Tu, the “Reporting Persons”). This Amendment No. 1 relates to the common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of China Security & Surveillance Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D.

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

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following paragraphs at the end thereof:

On March 18, 2008 and March 20, 2008, Mr. Tu used personal funds of $2.10 million to purchase 143,500 shares and 7,500 shares of the Common Stock in the open market at a price of $13.909 and $14.0424 per share, respectively. Ms. Li indirectly acquired beneficial ownership of such stock as the spouse of Mr. Tu. However, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act and this Statement, Ms. Li expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the 151,000 shares acquired by Mr. Tu (the “Purchased Securities I”).

On October 17, 2008, November 3, 2008 and November 4, 2008, Ms. Li gifted 1,022,063, 1,334,563 and 270,874 shares of the Common Stock to Mr. Tu, respectively (the “Gifted Securities”).

On November 3, 2008, Mr. Tu used personal funds of $0.74 million to purchase 68,850 shares of the Common Stock from a third party in a private transaction at a price of $10.75 per share. Ms. Li indirectly acquired beneficial ownership of such stock as the spouse of Mr. Tu. However, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act and this Statement, Ms. Li expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the 68,850 shares acquired by Mr. Tu (the “Purchased Securities II”).

On November 4, 2008, Mr. Tu used personal funds of $3.45 million to purchase 336,085 shares of the Common Stock from a third party in a private transaction at a price of $10.28 per share. Ms. Li indirectly acquired beneficial ownership of such stock as the spouse of Mr. Tu. However, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act and this Statement, Ms. Li expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the 336,085 shares acquired by Mr. Tu (the “Purchased Securities III”).

On November 17, 2008, Mr. Tu directly acquired 2,000,000 shares of the Common Stock as a result of a grant under the Issuer’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. The shares are subject to a five-year vesting schedule. Ms. Li indirectly acquired beneficial ownership of such stock as the spouse of Mr. Tu. However, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act and this Statement, Ms. Li expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the 2,000,000 shares acquired by Mr. Tu (the “Granted Securities”).

On March 21, 2008, Whitehorse used available cash of $1.53 million to purchase 109,600 shares of the Common Stock in the open market at a price of $13.99 per share. Ms. Li indirectly acquired beneficial ownership of such stock as the spouse of Mr. Tu.

From April 16, 2008 to August 20, 2008, pursuant to a written plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, Whitehorse used available cash of approximately $4.79 million to purchase a total of 282,400 shares of the Common Stock in the open market. Ms. Li indirectly acquired beneficial ownership of such stock as the spouse of Mr. Tu. However, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act and this Statement, Ms. Li expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the 282,400 shares acquired by Mr. Tu (the "Purchased Securities V," together with Purchased Securities I, Purchased Securities II, Purchased Securities III, Purchased Securities IV, Granted Securities and Gifted Securities, the "Securities").

On January 11, 2008, in connection with the issuance and sale of $50,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Exchangeable Senior Secured Notes due 2012 (the "Notes") to a certain purchaser, Whitehorse and Mr. Tu entered into an indenture (the "Indenture") and a pledge and security agreement (the "Pledge Agreement"), pursuant to which they originally pledged a total of 8,750,000 shares of Common Stock directly and indirectly beneficially owned by Whitehorse and Mr. Tu. As of the date of this Amendment No. 1, Whitehorse and Mr. Tu have collectively pledged a total of 15,508,085 shares of Common Stock directly and indirectly beneficially owned by them to secure Whitehorse’s obligations under the Notes (the "Pledged Shares").

On November 23, 2008, Whitehorse and Mr. Tu entered into that certain side letter with holders of the Notes, which was subsequently amended on April 30, 2009 (the "Side Letters") pursuant to which the parties agreed to an early redemption of the Notes based on certain amortization schedules with the final payment due on April 30, 2010.

On April 28, 2010, Whitehorse and Mr. Tu entered into a Notes Repurchase and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the "Repurchase Agreement") with holders of all of the outstanding Notes (the "Existing Noteholders") under which Whitehorse agreed to pay to the Existing Noteholders a total purchase price equal to US$50 million and issue Warrants (i.e., these warrants will constitute the right to acquire shares of Common Stock of the Issuer that are already issued and outstanding and held by Whitehorse and not to acquire authorized, but unissued shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock) (the "Warrants") to purchase up to 4.4 million shares of the Common Stock in full satisfaction and discharge of any payment or other obligations under the Notes, including, among other things, any obligation arising from or under the Indenture and the Side Letters. The Repurchase Agreement provides, among other things, that (i) on or prior to May 5, 2010, Whitehorse will pay $30 million to DB Trustees (Hong Kong) Limited, as the paying agent and security agent for the Notes (the "Trustee") and the Existing Noteholders will instruct the Trustee to return 8.8 million Pledged Shares to Whitehorse and Mr. Tu; and (ii) at or prior to the earlier of (a) June 15, 2010 and (b) the date that Whitehorse receives debt financing from any financial institution in an amount greater than $35,000,000, Whitehorse will pay the remaining $20 million to the Trustee and issue and deliver the Warrants to the Existing Noteholders in exchange for the cancellation of the remaining outstanding Notes and the return of the remaining 6,708,085 Pledged Shares. If Whitehorse makes the first payment of $30 million, but fails to make the last payment of $20 million, Whitehorse will only be liable to pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee $31,000,000 and interest on such amount at a rate equal to thirty five percent (35%) per annum, as accrued from and including June 15, 2010 to but excluding the payment date (the "Repayment Amount"). In addition, the Existing Holders’ recourse to the Repayment Amount will be limited to and satisfied from the 6,708,085 Pledged Shares.

Under the Repurchase Agreement, if the final payment of $20 million is made by Whitehorse, Whitehorse will issue Warrants to the Existing Noteholder and enter into a pledge and security agreement relating to the pledge of 4.4 million shares of Common Stock to secure the performance of its obligation under the Warrants (the "New Pledge Agreement"). The Warrant holders’ recourse under the Warrants will be limited to and satisfied from the 4.4 million shares of Common Stock so pledged. The Warrants are exercisable after one year from the issuance and have a term of seven years with an initial exercise price of $10 per share. Whitehorse has a right to redeem the Warrants in its entirety on or before September 30, 2010 with a total price of $11 million (plus interest if the redemption is exercised after June 15, 2010). Holders of the Warrants have rights to require Whitehorse to repurchase the Warrants in the event of a Termination of Trading, as therein defined, at a total repurchase price of $11 million (plus interest if such event occurs within two years after the issuance of the Warrants).
