PART
I
Business
Development
Largo
Vista Group, Ltd. (“Largo Vista” or the "Company") was formed under the laws of
the State of Nevada on January 16, 1987 under the name, "The George Group". On
January 9, 1989, The George Group acquired Waste Service Technologies, Inc.
("WST"), an Oregon corporation, and filed a name change in Nevada and changed
its name to WST, listed its stock, and began trading on OTC bulletin
Board.
On April
15, 1994, WST acquired Largo Vista, Inc., a California corporation, and filed a
name change in Nevada to change WST's name to Largo Vista Group, Ltd., OTC
bulletin Board symbol "LGOV". Largo Vista originally planned to develop housing
in China, but after shipping two factory built homes to China, never fully
implemented plans due to unanticipated financing, environmental and regulatory
complications.
Unless
the context otherwise requires, all references to the Company include its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Largo Vista, Inc., an inactive California
corporation, Largo Vista Construction, Inc., an inactive Nevada corporation, and
Largo Vista International, Corp., an inactive Panama corporation. Largo Vista
also has operations through Doing Business As (“DBA”) agreement first with Zunyi
Shilin Xinmao Petrochemical Industries Co. Ltd, (“Zunyi”) and later with Jiahong
Gas Co., Ltd. (“Jiahong”), both registered under the Chinese laws in the Peoples
Republic of China, Guizhou Province.
Business
of the Issuer
Through
DBA agreement with Jiahong, Largo Vista is engaged in the business of purchasing
and reselling liquid petroleum gas ("LPG") in the retail and wholesale markets
to both residential and commercial consumers. Largo Vista operated a storage
depot and has an office headquarters in the City of Zunyi. Largo Vista has found
the storage depot operations to be unprofitable, and therefore has terminated
those operations in order to concentrate its resources on supplying LPG in
bottles and through pipelines.
In
February 2002, Largo Vista’s China operations entered into an agreement with the
Zunyi Municipal Government to design and install LPG pipeline systems in
residential areas in the city of Zunyi. In exchange for installing the pipeline,
the agreement provides for the Largo Vista to be the sole LPG supplier for those
households for 40 years. Largo Vista substantially completed the installation of
the LPG pipeline in 2002 and continues to operate the pipeline.
In May
2003, Largo Vista’s China operations entered into its second agreement with
Zunyi Municipal Government to design and install more LPG pipeline systems in
residential areas in the city of Zunyi, China. The pipeline project was
substantially completed in December of 2004. In 2007, these two pipelines
currently serve approximately 743 customers compared to 720 in 2006. When
natural gas becomes available to the area, these pipelines will be in place to
deliver that commodity to the same customers.
In
addition, Largo Vista has contracted with a private developer to construct four
additional pipelines in the same area. Pipeline Number 3 will serve 42
condominiums and was completed July, 2005, in 2007 we have 2 LPG users and
expecting future growth. Pipeline Number 4 will serve 60 condominiums.
Construction schedules are still pending. Pipeline Number 5 will serve 1,067
condominiums and the original plan was to build 16 buildings, housing 1,067
residences. 15 buildings containing 994 residences were completed during fiscal
year 2006. The developer is awaiting government approval to proceed with the
16th building of 73 residences. Pipeline 5 LPG services increased from 138
users to 367 users in 2007. Pipeline Number 6 will serve 5,000 condominiums but
the developer is slow in civil engineering. Pipeline Number 7 completed during
fiscal year 2006 will serve 74 condominiums. Pipeline 7 LPG services increased
from 2 users to 22 users in 2007. Pipeline Number 8 will serve 242
condominiums. Pipeline 8 had stopped due to a capital problem from our partner,
Zunyi Minsheng Real Estate Company, Ltd.. Pipeline Number 9 will serve 150
condominiums, construction started October 2007 and slowly progressing of the
buildings. Pipeline Number 10 will serve 1,000 condominiums and was
signed in 2007, we are waiting for final approvals to start construction.
Pipeline Number 11 will serve 192 condominiums and was signed in 2007, we are
waiting for final approvals to start construction All of these pipelines will be
operated by Largo Vista under long term supply
contracts.
The
contracts that Largo Vista Group, Ltd. (the “Company”) has with the Zunyi
Municipal Government granted to the Company the exclusive right to supply liquid
petroleum gas (LPG) to project buildings through pipeline systems. These project
buildings are similar to large apartment or condominium complexes in
the United States. The Company contracts with independent third parties for
all of the design and construction of the pipelines. Generally, a central supply
station will be built close to the buildings to be served. LPG will be stored in
this facility and gasified before entering the pipeline system. The Company
operates these central supply stations and manages the relationships with the
individual customers in the buildings.
The Zunyi
Municipal Government (“Zunyi”) agreed in its contracts with the Company to
reimburse the Company for the costs of constructing the LPG pipelines, fifty
percent (50%) after the signing of each contract and the remaining fifty percent
(50%) upon completion of each pipeline project. Zunyi did pay the Company the
first fifty percent (50%); but failed to pay the Company the remaining fifty
percent (50%) upon completion of the first two (2) pipeline projects. Zunyi took
the position that the Company should collect the balance from the customers as
they subscribe for LPG delivery. The Company has been collecting that
amount as a connection or subscription fee and accounting for that revenue as it
is received.
For
pipeline agreements with private developers and all other LPG sales, the Company
collects payments from developers and customers pursuant to sales agreements,
and recognizes revenues when services was provided or products are delivered, as
the collectibility can be reasonably assured.
Largo
Vista still seeks for the opportunities to supply petroleum products into
Vietnam.
In
addition, Largo Vista had two representative offices in the Far East area, one
in Wuhan, China and another in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, to supervise LPG and
gas oil trading operations in China and Vietnam respectively. Largo Vista closed
its rep office in Vietnam at the end of December 2005.
Arrangement
to Sell Stock to Shanghai Offshore Oil Group
On March
18, 2005, Largo Vista signed an Agreement and Assignment of Certain Contractual
Rights and Benefits (the “Agreement”), with Shanghai Offshore Oil Group (HK)
Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Oil”). Under the Agreement, Shanghai Oil assigned to
Largo Vista all of its rights to receive payments under a prior contract with
Asiacorp Investment Holding Ltd. (“Asiacorp”), under which Shanghai Oil would
purchase from Asiacorp fuel oil produced in Russia and deliver it to entities in
The People’s Republic of China at a rate of thirty thousand (30,000) metric tons
per month for three (3) months and continue for the following thirty-three (33)
months at a rate of two hundred thousand (200,000) metric tons per month, for a
total of six million, six hundred ninety thousand metric tons (the “Asiacorp
Contract”). The Agreement states that deliveries under the Asiacorp
Contract were to begin no later than May 18, 2005.
The
Agreement provides that Largo Vista will receive all of the profit realized by
Shanghai Oil from the sale of fuel oil it acquires under the Asiacorp Contract,
after the deduction of costs associated with the purchase, transportation and
sale of the fuel oil, with a minimum payment of two dollars ($2.00) per metric
ton. In exchange for the receipt of payment from Shanghai Oil, Largo Vista
agreed to issue to Shanghai Oil one hundred million (100,000,000) shares of
Largo Vista’s Common Stock, deliverable in three equal increments over the term
of the Agreement, which amounts may be reduced based upon the amount, if any, of
Shanghai Oil’s actual payments from its sale of the fuel oil. However,
Largo Vista has not received any payments from Shanghai Oil under the Agreement,
and cannot give absolute assurances that any fuel oil will be delivered under
the Asiacorp Contract.
Payments
received by Largo Vista based upon Shanghai Oil’s sale of the fuel oil, if
any, will be accounted for as a capital transaction as Largo Vista’s
transaction with Shanghai Oil represents, in substance, a stock subscription
under which Largo Vista would receive approximately $0.13 per share if the total
projected amount of fuel oil is sold and the minimum guaranteed profit
margin is paid to Largo Vista.
During
June of 2005, Shanghai Oil notified Largo Vista that it had not received any
fuel oil under the Asiacorp Contract. As Largo Vista had not received any
payments from Shanghai Oil, it did not release any of its shares of Common Stock
to Shanghai Oil. On approximately July 1, 2005, Largo Vista sent Shanghai
Oil a written “Demand to Cure Delayed-Performance” giving Shanghai Oil until
July 18, 2005, later extended to August 31, 2005, to make its first payment to
Largo Vista under the Agreement. Although Shanghai Oil has indicated to
Largo Vista that it intends to deliver payment pursuant to the Agreement, either
through performance under the Asiacorp Contract or through another contract in
its place, investors should understand that delivery is far from certain. As of
the date of filing of this Amendment, Largo Vista has not received any payments
from Shanghai Oil nor has it released any of the shares deliverable to Shanghai
Oil.
Resolution
with Shanghai Oil remains highly uncertain, and Largo Vista does not foresee any
economic benefit materializing from the Agreement. While Largo Vista has
reserved its rights to pursue all available remedies it may have against
Shanghai Oil, actually pursuing these remedies may be prohibitively expensive.
On December 22, 2005, Largo Vista’s board of directors unanimously adopted a
resolution to cancel the 97,364,597 shares that were issued Shanghai Oil under
the Agreement and to return those shares to Largo Vista’s reserve of
authorized but unissued shares of capital stock.
Affiliate
and Subsidiary Relationships.
Largo
Vista Group, Ltd. has three wholly-owned subsidiaries, none of which have
current operations. These are Largo Vista, Inc., Largo Vista International
Corp, and Largo Vista Construction Inc. In addition, Largo Vista Group, Ltd has
a controlling financial interest in Zunyi Jiahong Gas Co. Ltd through a "doing
business agreement" which results in financial statement
consolidation.
Principal
Products and Their Markets
The
Product
LPG is
used by about 500 million people worldwide. As a form of energy, it is
considered a very efficient fuel. Its liquid state provides a significant supply
of energy in a comparatively small volume. LPG is recognized for its
transportability and ease-of-use. It is a clean and environmentally friendly
source of energy that has a variety of residential, commercial, industrial and
transportation uses. It can be used at home for cooking and heating and can
therefore replace wood, kerosene, coal and other environmentally unfriendly
sources of energy. Environmental concerns have caused the outlaw of the use of
coal in most of the larger cities in China. Since LPG is one of the only viable
sources of energy for cooking and heating in Southern China, management believes
the China LPG market is ripe for growth and expansion.
Most
Chinese consumers have used wood and coal all their lives, primarily for
cooking. They are, however, beginning to realize the ease and convenience of
using LPG for cooking and heating water. Most consumers obtain LPG in 15kg.
cylinders, very similar to those used for gas barbecues in the U.S. As LPG
delivery systems, such as pipelines, make use more convenient and simple, LPG
consumption per capita should increase significantly.
Markets:
The China
market is broken down in two ways for purposes of analysis:
The first
way to view the market is through the distribution method; that is, either
retail-direct or wholesale-indirect. Retail distribution is accomplished by the
three major LPG companies that deal directly with the end user. In Zunyi, Largo
Vista distributes to both retail and wholesale customers, and to both
residential and commercial users. Retail customers, however, are far more
profitable for the Company than wholesale because sales prices are higher and
there are no middleman costs. The Company is implementing strategies to develop
and expand the retail customer base.
The
second way to view the market is through the method of delivery to the user;
such as by bottle or cylinder, by pipeline, or by tank truck.
The
bottle users may be either retail, purchasing directly from a major LPG company,
or wholesale, purchasing from a distributor of a major LPG company. Bottle
customers purchase LPG in 15 kg. cylinders or bottles that must, by law, be
filled to a minimum of 13.5 kg, which is considered full. Bottle users include
residential and commercial customers. Residential consumption is by far the
largest, with commercial restaurants and caterers following second. There has
been little industrial use of LPG to date.
Pipeline
users are considered retail-direct users. LPG flows directly into household via
pipes from a central storage tank that is replenished when necessary by a major
LPG company. Pipeline users are billed according to usage based on a meter in
their living unit. Management is pursuing a policy of expanding into this arena
due to the fact that once the retail customer is captured via a pipeline
connection, they will remain a profit center for the Company. Also, the usage by
a pipeline customer is expected to be greater than a bottle retail customer
because of the expanding uses of LPG, such as heating of the
residence.
Tank
truck or bulk sales are made to wholesale distributors who operate small bottle
filling stations. These distributors represent lower profit margins, but sheer
volume of distribution makes-up some of the difference. Bulk sales are
encouraged to cultivate the small wholesale distributors because of the
potential of acquiring their customer base in the future.
During
the 1990s, world LPG demand has risen on average nearly 3.6% per year, compared
to 1.4% per year for the petroleum industry overall, as the world economy has
grown. LPG demand is expanding worldwide but most dramatically in the developing
countries of Asia. Demand in the region has been growing by an average of more
than 6% per year, as per-capita consumption increases with the increasing
standard of living in the region. For example, per-capita consumption of LPG in
China in the 1990s increased from around 1 kg to more than 6 kg per-capita and
expecting consumption to expand to more than 15 kg per-capita in the next
century.
Asian
markets are expanding rapidly, along with markets in other developing countries
as population continues to grow along with demand for clean-burning LPG. It has
been estimated that y 2020, Asia should account for more than 70 million metric
tons per year of residential and commercial LPG demand, which represents more
than 40% of total world LPG demand. China will account for the greatest
percentage of the growth in overall LPG imports as a result of continued growth
of the domestic Chinese economy and per-capita consumption of LPG.
The
majority of dollars invested in the China LPG market have been invested in large
"mega" depots by the major oil companies. Little to no focus has been placed on
the retail end-user market. Put simply, the LPG "storage" infrastructure is in
place, but it is overbuilt because the retail market has not been cultivated at
the same pace. Management's primary objective is the development of this retail
consumer base.
From the
mega-depots on the east and southeast coast of China, LPG is shipped to smaller
inland storage depots via railroad tank car. LPG is then pumped into large
storage tanks until it is distributed in bottles, pipelines or tank trucks to
end users and distributors.
Inland
infrastructure development has not kept pace with coastal development. Inland
depot storage capacity must be expanded to serve the customers waiting for LPG
service. More efficient distribution methods are also needed. The bottle
exchange system is labor intensive, a factor that currently does not
significantly affect overhead; but will have greater future impact as salaries
increase.
Distribution
of LPG via pipelines directly to end-users is very efficient; but one drawback
is the cost to install pipeline service to each household, which is
approximately $185.00 US per household. Some more affluent customers can afford
to pay the installation fee up front; but most of these have already purchased
pipeline service. Some new construction projects permit the cost of installation
to be incorporated into the cost of the home. Most customers, however, cannot
afford the up-front fee; but are willing and able to pay extra each month based
on usage.
Largo
Vista has a number of pipeline projects in various planning or construction
phases and it is management's belief that this area is one of the most
profitable in the long term. In November, 2002 Largo Vista’s Pipeline Project
Number 1 was completed
and a
long term service contract to maintain and supply LPG to its customers along the
pipeline was signed. In December of 2004, Largo Vista’s Pipeline Project Number
2 was substantially completed. Largo Vista has also signed contracts for
Pipeline Projects Number 3 through Number 6 (terms and details of some of the
contracts are not finalized), all in the same area, as discussed above under
“Business of the Issuer.” - Number 3 was completed during 2005 and Number 5 was
completed during 2006.
Distribution
of LPG
There are
four primary levels of LPG distribution:
Major LPG
Companies
Major LPG
Distributors
Medium
LPG Distributors
Small
Independent LPG Distributors
The Major
LPG companies are characterized by the following: They purchase LPG directly
from refineries or major oil companies. They must be licensed. They have
railroad tank cars and storage depots. They typically serve over 10,000 retail
customers. These companies depend on distribution networks to get LPG to the
consumers.
Major
distributors are licensed by major LPG companies and generally serve more than
4,000 but less than 10,000 customers directly. They do not typically have any
railroad tank cars, and have little or no storage capacity.
Medium
distributors are also licensed by major LPG companies, generally serve more than
1,500 but less than 4,000 customers directly and do not have any storage
capacity. At this time, Largo Vista would be considered as a medium
distributor.
Small
independent distributors are those who may or may not be licensed, do not have
any relationship or loyalty to any major oil company or distributor and usually
serve less than 1,500 customers.
Since all
of these distributors serve a customer base, Zunyi is actively recruiting them
on an ongoing basis.
The
majority of Largo Vista's customer base is serviced with the help of agents and
entity users. Largo Vista has a number of agents that are independent dealers
who exclusively represent the Company in an outlying county area that is
difficult for the Company to access on a regular basis. The consumers serviced
by the agent pay retail prices. The Company pays the agent a fee for his
services and the agent carries his own overhead expenses. As the LPG market was
developing in the early 1990's, the Company was seeking to develop a customer
base in the most efficient and effective manner possible, and, as a result,
began to cultivate the "entity" user. Entity users were companies in other
industries, already providing housing for their employees who also desired to
provide a convenience to their workers by distributing LPG as an additional
service. These entity users developed into distribution service to consumers who
paid retail prices. As the market further developed, the entity user also began
to be a distribution outlet to other consumers in the local area that were not
affiliated with the entity company. Today, the Company is actively seeking to
cultivate and develop additional entity users to expand the consumer
base.
Raw
Materials
The
Chinese market is unique compared to other Asian countries. Japan and Korea seek
security of supply through regular term contracts supported by long-term
relationships, but in China, low price and bargaining is the driving force for
LPG purchases.
When
purchasing LPG, Largo Vista must weigh various factors including quality of LPG,
price, and transportation costs. It generally purchases from domestic sources
inside China where prices are very low, but transportation costs are
higher.
Cost of
goods can fluctuate widely and rapidly and can cause cash flow
problems.
Competition
The LPG
industry in the city of Zunyi, Guizhou Province, consists of three major LPG
companies with storage facilities that sell LPG in both the retail and wholesale
markets. All three companies depend on a network of distributors to help reach
and service the needs of their customers. Two are privately owned and operated
and the other is state owned. Competition is based principally on price and
service; however relationship and reputation are also important to consumers of
LPG.
LPG
retail market prices have been relatively unstable during recent years,
characterized by oversupply and cutthroat competition.
In the
residential wholesale market, many independent "black market" dealers have been
operating without a license, and have ignored safety regulations. Another
flagrant violation of consumer fairness is the practice of short-filling
bottles. The "black market" dealer typically will fill a bottle with 10kg of
LPG, representing that it has 13.5kg of LPG. Short filling has permitted the
Company's competition to charge lower prices and unfairly compete with Largo
Vista. This practice of cheating the consumer has been prevalent over the past
several years. Largo Vista challenges customers to be aware of what they
are paying for by implementing of a "weight comparison program." The program
permits the consumer to weigh their bottles to expose the "short-fill"
problem.
Largo
Vista competes with others on both reputation and service. To differentiate
itself from its competition, Largo Vista stresses a long-term relationship both
with the residential user and with the distributor to help them bring in and
keep new customers. Its reputation is excellent and is backed up by a record
of good service, with the understanding that Largo Vista can be relied upon
to deliver honest weights and measures.
Governmental
Regulation
Largo
Vista’s operations in China are regulated on a day-to-day basis by the Zunyi
municipal government, which oversees all companies licensed to do business and
enforces rules and regulations in the market place. The Zunyi government faces
many problems in this rapidly emerging chaotic market including the existence of
many unlicensed small distributors, violations of safety regulations and short
filled bottles. Local government is working to correct some of these more
flagrant violations.
Patents,
Trademarks & Licenses
The
Company does not currently own any patents or trademarks.
Employees
Largo
Vista has no employees in the United States and relies on outside consultants
for legal, accounting and organizational services as needed. Operations in Zunyi
and Wuhan have a total of 15 employees, including management, all of whom are
full-time employees.

CAUTIONARY
STATEMENTS REGARDING FUTURE RESULTS, FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION AND
CERTAIN IMPORTANT FACTORS
|
Largo
Vista makes written and oral statements from time to time regarding its business
and prospects, such as projections of future performance, statements of
management's plans and objectives, forecasts of market trends, and other matters
that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933. Statements containing the words or phrases "will likely
result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimates,"
"projects," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "target," "goal,"
"plans," "objective," "should" or similar expressions identify forward-looking
statements, which may appear in documents, reports, filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, news releases, written or oral presentations made by
officers or other representatives made by Largo Vista to analysts, stockholders,
investors, news organizations and others, and discussions with management and
other representatives of Largo Vista. For such statements, Largo Vista claims
the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Largo
Vista’s future results, including results related to forward-looking statements,
involve a number of risks and uncertainties. No assurance can be given that the
results reflected in any forward-looking statements will be achieved. Any
forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of Largo Vista speaks only as of
the date on which such statement is made. Largo Vista’s forward-looking
statements are based upon assumptions that are sometimes based upon estimates,
data, communications and other information from suppliers, government agencies
and other sources that may be subject to revision. Except as required by law,
Largo Vista does not undertake any obligation to update or keep current either
(i) any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances arising
after the date of such statement, or (ii) the important factors that could cause
Largo Vista’s future results to differ materially from historical results or
trends, results anticipated or planned by Largo Vista, or which are reflected
from time to time in any forward-looking statement which may be made by or on
behalf of Largo Vista.
In
addition to other matters identified or described by Largo Vista from time to
time in filings with the SEC, there are several important factors that could
cause Largo Vista’s future results to differ materially from historical results
or trends, results anticipated or planned by Largo Vista, or results that are
reflected from time to time in any forward-looking statement that may be
made by or on behalf of Largo Vista. Some of these important factors, but not
necessarily all important factors, include the following:
RISK
FACTORS CONCERNING OUR BUSINESS
Largo
Vista has a history of losses, expects to incur additional losses and may never
achieve profitability. During Largo Vista’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2007,
the Company generated only $360,607 of revenue and realized a net loss $555,780.
Largo Vista has yet to generate profits from operations and consequently is
unable to predict with any certainty whether its operations will become a
commercially viable business. In order for Largo Vista to become profitable, it
will need to generate and sustain a significant amount of revenue while
maintaining reasonable cost and expense levels.
Largo
Vista may require additional capital in order to meet its projected operating
costs and, if necessary, to finance future losses from operations as it
endeavors to build revenue, but largo vista does not have any commitments to
obtain such capital and cannot assure you that it will be able to obtain
adequate capital as and when required. Should Largo Vista be required to sell
additional equity securities or additional debt securities convertible into
equity, there will be additional dilution to Largo Vista’s
shareholders.
Largo
Vista is dependant on the stability of economic relations with the People’s
Republic of China for its current revenues. Nearly all of Largo Vista’s current
revenues are generated in China. Largo Vista cannot predict or guarantee the
stability of economic relations with China; and, therefore the operations of
Largo Vista are subject to disruption from a number of political and economic
causes.
Largo
Vista is owed a substantial portion of its accounts receivable from the single
source of the government of the city of Zunyi, China. Pursuant to the its
agreement with Largo Vista in February 2002, the government of Zunyi paid Largo
Vista 50% of the total contracted installation price, or $154,438. The Zunyi
government also has an obligation to collect the remaining 50% of contract price
from the households obtaining LPG from the pipeline on behalf of the Company.
Management determined that the collectibility and length of time to collect the
amount due can not be reasonably assured. Accordingly, revenues are recognized
as collected for the project. In May 2003, the Company entered into its Second
Agreement (“Second Agreement”) with the government of Zunyi to design and
install more LPG pipeline systems in residential areas in the city of Zunyi,
China. Pursuant to the Second Agreement, the government of Zunyi is obligated to
pay to the Company 50% of the total contract price, or $87,258, which was paid
during 2004. Management determined that the collectibility and length of time to
collect the amount due cannot be reasonably assured. Accordingly, revenues are
recognized as collected for the project.
Should
Largo Vista choose to grow through acquisitions, it will experience the
uncertainties associated with such a strategy. As part of Largo Vista’s business
strategy in the future, Largo Vista could acquire assets and businesses relating
to or complementary to its operations. Any acquisitions by Largo Vista would
involve risks commonly encountered in acquisitions of companies. These risks
would include, among other things, the following: Largo Vista could be exposed
to unknown liabilities of the acquired companies; Largo Vista could incur
acquisition costs and expenses higher than it anticipated; fluctuations in Largo
Vista's quarterly and annual operating results could occur due to the costs and
expenses of acquiring and integrating new businesses or technologies; Largo
Vista could experience difficulties and expenses in assimilating the operations
and personnel of the acquired businesses; Largo Vista's ongoing business could
be disrupted and its management's time and attention diverted; Largo Vista could
be unable to integrate successfully.
Our
principal executive and administrative offices are located in Newport Beach,
California which consist of 193 square feet. The offices are occupied on a
month-to-month lease at a rate of $755 per month. We believe these facilities
are adequate and suitable to meet our needs for the foreseeable
future.
Largo
Vista maintains a representative office in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, which
include three offices and access to common areas. The facilities are leased from
Proton Enterprises.
Largo
Vista, through a contract agreement with Jiahong Gas Co., Ltd., operated its
primary service in the City of Zunyi, Guizhou Province. The Company also leases
office facilities and four distribution stores in Zunyi City.
In August
2005, the staff of the Los Angeles office of the Securities and Exchange
Commission advised Largo Vista that it had initiated a formal, non-public
inquiry. Largo Vista and its officers have received document
subpoenas seeking documents related to the previously announced contract between
Largo Vista and Shanghai Oil and trading in the securities of Largo Vista, among
other things.
By
letters dated April 8, 2008, Largo
Vista Group, Ltd., Shan Deng
and Albert Figueroa, were each informed that the Pacific Regional Office of the
Commission had completed its investigation and that it does not intend
to recommend any
enforcement action by the Commission.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF
OPERATION
|
Cautionary
Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
The
following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations
of the Company as of the date of this Annual Report. This discussion and
analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying audited
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company including the Notes thereto
which are included elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB.
Overview
Largo
Vista is in the business of supplying liquid petroleum gas (LPG) through
pipelines and in bottles to consumers in the People’s Republic of China. Largo
Vista constructs and operates LPG pipelines in the City on Zunyi, China. Almost
all of Largo Vista’s current pipeline projects are under exclusive 40-year
supply contracts.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, have been prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate
continuation as a going concern. Largo Vista has incurred a net loss of
$555,780 for the year ended December 31, 2007 and as of December 31, 2007, had a
working capital deficiency of $1,337,939.
These
conditions raise substantial doubt as to Largo Vista’s ability to continue as a
going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. These financial statements do
not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might
be necessary should Largo Vista be unable to continue as a going
concern.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses,
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates
and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we
believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may
differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a
number of significant accounting policies affecting our consolidated financial
statements; we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the
most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Effective
January 1, 2006, the beginning of the Company’s first fiscal quarter of 2006,
the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, using
the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method,
stock-based compensation expense was recognized in the consolidated financial
statements for granted, modified, or settled stock options. Compensation expense
recognized included the estimated expense for stock options granted on and
subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R, and the estimated expense for the
portion vesting in the period for options granted prior to, but not vested as of
January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with
the original provisions of SFAS 123. Results for prior periods have not been
restated, as provided for under the modified-prospective method.
SFAS
123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if
necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those
estimates. In the Company’s pro forma information required under SFAS 123 for
the periods prior to fiscal 2006, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they
occurred.
Upon
adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company is using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model as its method of valuation for share-based awards granted beginning in
fiscal 2006, which was also previously used for the Company’s pro forma
information required under SFAS 123. The Company’s determination of fair value
of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model
is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a
number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but
are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term
of the awards, and certain other market variables such as the risk free interest
rate.
The
Company had no employee stock options issued and outstanding at December 31,
2007 and 2006. All prior awards of stock options were vested at the time of
issuance in prior years.
Revenue
Recognition
For
revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, REVENUE RECOGNITION ("SAB104"), which
superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS ("SAB101"). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met
before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and
determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of
criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed
nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of
those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated
returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same
period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which
the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that
the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been
delivered or no refund will be required.
SAB 104
incorporates Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21 ("EITF 00-21"),
MULTIPLE-DELIVERABLE REVENUE ARRANGEMENTS. EITF 00-21 addresses accounting for
arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products,
services and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing EITF 00-21 on
the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations was not
significant.
The
Company generally recognizes revenue upon delivery of LPG to the customer.
Revenue associated with shipments of petroleum products is recognized when title
passes to the customer. The Company has several pipeline projects where the
collectability and length of time to collect the amount due from customers can
not be reasonably assured, revenues are deferred until the cash is
collected.
Results
of Operations
The
following selected financial information has been derived from the Company's
consolidated financial statements. The information set forth below is not
necessarily indicative of results of future operations and cash flows and should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB.
The
Company's 2007 revenues of $360,607 are attributable to liquid petroleum gas
sales and pipeline projects at its Zunyi facility located in South China. This
is a 48.6% decrease from the revenues of $701,727 in 2006. This is mainly
attributable to pipeline project number 5 and number 7 completed during the
fiscal year 2006. There was no business of big wholesales of LPG in the year
2007.
The
following table shows the revenues reported by the Company for fiscal years 2006
and 2007 broken down by LPG Sales, Pipeline Projects and Pipeline Operations, in
U. S. Dollars:

The
Company incurred costs of sales of $326,870, or 90.64% of sales in connection
with the LPG revenues during 2007, compared to $586,906, or 83.6% in 2006. This
decrease in gross margin from 16% in 2006 to 9.4% in 2007 was mainly attributed
to higher gross margin generated from pipeline projects. In 2006, the
Company completed pipeline project number 5 and 7, whereas in 2007, Company had
no revenues from pipeline projects.
Selling
and administrative expenses increased from $313,883 during 2006 to $553,892
during 2007, an increase of 76.5%. This increase was due primarily to higher
attorney, auditing, consulting, and other professional fees.
Net
interest expense was $34,509 for 2007 compared to $38,783 in 2006.
The net
loss from operations increased to $555,780, or (154)% in 2007 from $240,948, or
(34.3)%, in 2006.
Currency
Consideration
The
Company translates the foreign currency financial statements of its Chinese
subsidiary in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation." Assets and
liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date,
and related revenue and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange
rates in effect during the period. Resulting translation adjustments are
recorded as a separate component in stockholders' equity. Foreign currency
transaction gains and losses are included in the statement of
income.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
December 31, 2007, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,337,939. We
generated a negative cash flow of $168,753 from operating activities during
2007. This was a result of our net loss of $555,780, adjusted principally for
$1,116 of depreciation, common stock issued in exchange for $18,000 of services,
$54,007 of decreases in assets, and $313,904 of increase in accrued and
other liabilities. We met our cash requirements during the year primarily
through the sale of $78,000 of private placement stock purchases. We received
$87,625 from related party advances.
The
Company has experienced significant operating losses from inception and has
financed its activities to date through cash advances from affiliates and sales
of its Common Stock. Availability, source, amount and terms of any additional
financing are uncertain at this time, and by no means assured.
The
Company believes it will require at least an additional $1,000,000 of new
capital in order to fund its plan of operations over the next 12 months. The
Company expects to fund its working capital requirements over the next 12 months
from additional advances from its affiliates and the sale of its Common
Stock.
The
Company's independent certified public accountants have stated in their report
included in the Company's December 31, 2007 Form 10-KSB, that the Company has
incurred operating losses and that the Company is dependent upon management's
ability to develop profitable operations. These factors among others may
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
The
accompanying statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in
the normal course of business. As shown in the consolidated financial statements
during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred losses
from operations of 550,780 and $240,948, respectively. The Company's current
liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,337,939 as of December 31, 2007.
These factors among others may indicate that the Company will be unable to
continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
The
Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable
operations and resolve its liquidity problems. Management anticipates the
Company will attain profitable status and improve its liquidity through the
continued developing, marketing and selling of its products and additional
equity investment in the Company. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company
be unable to continue as a going concern.
In order
to improve the Company’s liquidity, the Company is actively pursuing additional
equity financing through discussions with investment bankers and private
investors. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in its
effort to secure additional equity financing.
If
operations and cash flows continue to improve through these efforts, management
believes that the Company can continue to operate. However, no assurance can be
given that management’s actions will result in profitable operations or the
resolution of its liquidity problems.
Recent
accounting pronouncements
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 159 permits entities to choose
to measure many financial instruments, and certain other items, at fair value.
SFAS 159 applies to reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The
adoption of SFAS 159 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
financial condition or results of operations.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),"Business Combinations"
("SFAS No. 141(R)"), which establishes principles and requirements for how
an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an
acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a
business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective as of the beginning of the
first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15,
2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Company is currently
evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption will have on its financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interest in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51"
("SFAS No. 160"), which will change the accounting and reporting for
minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests
and classified as a component of equity within the consolidated balance
sheets. SFAS No. 160 is effective as of the beginning of the first
fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier
adoption is prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if
any, that the adoption will have on its financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
Largo
Vista currently has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition,
revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or
capital resources that is material to investors.
Inflation
The
effect of inflation on the Company's revenue and operating results was not
significant.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors
Largo
Vista Group, Ltd.
Newport
Beach, California
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Largo Vista Group, Ltd.
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and
2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations, deficiency in
stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period
ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based upon our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December
31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note B, the
Company is experiencing difficulty in generating sufficient cash flow to meet it
obligations and sustain its operations, which raises substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this
matter are described in Note B. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE
A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary
of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the
accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.
Business and Basis of
Presentation
Largo
Vista Group, Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State
of Nevada. The Company is principally engaged in the distribution of liquid
petroleum gas (LPG) in the retail and wholesale markets in South China and in
the purchase of petroleum products for delivery to the Far East.
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Largo Vista, Inc., Largo Vista Construction, Inc.,
and Largo Vista International Corp. Largo Vista, Inc. is formed under the laws
of the State of California and is inactive. Largo Vista Construction, Inc. is
formed under the laws of the State of Nevada and is inactive. Largo Vista
International Corp. is formed under the laws of Panama and is inactive. The
Company also has a controlling financial interest in Zunyi Jiahong Gas Co., Ltd.
("Jiahong") through a DBA (Doing Business As) agreement that results
in consolidation (see Note K). Jiahong is registered under the Chinese laws in
the Peoples Republic of China.
All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. All amounts in these consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto are stated in United States dollars unless otherwise
indicated.
Foreign Currency
Translation
The
Company translates the foreign currency financial statements of its Chinese
subsidiary in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation." Assets and
liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date,
and related revenue and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange
rates in effect during the period. Resulting translation adjustments are
recorded as a separate component in stockholders' equity. Foreign currency
transaction gains and losses are included in the statement of
income.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
For
purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less
to be cash equivalents.
Property and
Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the
related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the
respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from
disposition, is reflected in earnings. For financial statement purposes,
property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives (Note D).
Long-Lived
Assets
The
Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (“SFAS
144”). The Statement 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. 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. SFAS No. 144 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at
the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to
sell.
Income
Taxes
The
Company has implemented the provisions on Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 requires
that income tax accounts be computed using the liability method. Deferred taxes
are determined based upon the estimated future tax effects of differences
between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and
liabilities given the provisions of currently enacted tax laws.
NOTE
A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Net Earnings (Losses) Per
Common Share
The
Company computes earnings per share under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (“SFAS 128”). Net earnings (losses) per
common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average
number of shares of Common Stock and dilutive Common Stock equivalents
outstanding during the year. Dilutive Common Stock equivalents consist of shares
issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred shares and the exercise of the
Company's stock options and warrants (calculated using the treasury stock
method). During the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, Common Stock
equivalents are not considered in the calculation of the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding because they would be anti-dilutive, thereby
decreasing the net loss per common share.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of
Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of the fair value of certain
financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the
balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of
these instruments.
Inventories
Inventories
consist primarily of LPG. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method
for retail operations and specific identification method for wholesale
operations (Note C). Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or
market.
Reclassifications
Certain
reclassifications have been made in prior year’s financial statements to conform
to classifications used in the current year.
Revenue
Recognition
For
revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, REVENUE RECOGNITION ("SAB104"), which
superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS ("SAB101"). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met
before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and
determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of
criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed
nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of
those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated
returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same
period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which
the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that
the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been
delivered or no refund will be required.
SAB 104
incorporates Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21 ("EITF 00-21"),
MULTIPLE-DELIVERABLE REVENUE ARRANGEMENTS. EITF 00-21 addresses accounting for
arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products,
services and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing EITF 00-21 on
the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations was not
significant.
The
Company generally recognizes revenue upon delivery of LPG to the customer.
Revenue associated with shipments of petroleum products is recognized when title
passes to the customer. The Company has several pipeline projects where the
collectability and length of time to collect the amount due from customers can
not be reasonably assured, revenues are deferred until the cash is
collected.
NOTE
A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Advertising
The
Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expenses as
incurred. The Company incurred no advertising costs during the years ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Research and
Development
The
Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the
Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 2 (“SFAS 2”), “Accounting for Research and Development Costs.”
Under SFAS 2, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as
incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as
incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the
contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved.
Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and
future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred no
expenditures on research and product development for the year ended December 31,
2007 and 2006.
Liquidity
As shown
in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss from
operations of $555,780 and $240,948 during the year ended December 31, 2007 and
2006, respectively. The Company's current liabilities exceeded its current
assets by $1,337,939 as of December 31, 2007.
Concentrations of Credit
Risk
Financial
instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and
related party receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash
investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be
in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company periodically reviews its
trade receivables in determining its allowance for doubtful accounts. The
allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 at December 31, 2007 and
2006.
Comprehensive Income
(Loss)
The
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Reporting
Comprehensive Income”. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting and
displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is
defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions
and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all
changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by
owners and distributions to owners. SFAS No. 130 requires other comprehensive
income (loss) to include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized
gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.
NOTE
A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Stock Based
Compensation
Effective
January 1, 2006, the beginning of the Company’s first fiscal quarter of 2006,
the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, using
the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method,
stock-based compensation expense was recognized in the consolidated financial
statements for granted, modified, or settled stock options. Compensation expense
recognized included the estimated expense for stock options granted on and
subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R, and the estimated expense for the
portion vesting in the period for options granted prior to, but not vested as of
January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with
the original provisions of SFAS 123. Results for prior periods have not been
restated, as provided for under the modified-prospective method.
SFAS
123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if
necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those
estimates. In the Company’s pro forma information required under SFAS 123 for
the periods prior to fiscal 2006, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they
occurred.
Upon
adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company is using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model as its method of valuation for share-based awards granted beginning in
fiscal 2006, which was also previously used for the Company’s pro forma
information required under SFAS 123. The Company’s determination of fair value
of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model
is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a
number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but
are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term
of the awards, and certain other market variables such as the risk free interest
rate.
The
Company had no employee stock options issued and outstanding at December 31,
2007 and 2006. All prior awards of stock options were vested at the time of
issuance in prior years.
Segment
Information
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information” (“SFAS 131”) establishes standards for
reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented
in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. SFAS 131 also establishes
standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic
areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about
which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the
chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions
how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed
herein materially represents all of the financial information related to the
Company’s principal operating segment.
New Accounting
Pronouncements
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 159 permits entities to choose
to measure many financial instruments, and certain other items, at fair value.
SFAS 159 applies to reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The
adoption of SFAS 159 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
financial condition or results of operations.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),"Business Combinations"
("SFAS No. 141(R)"), which establishes principles and requirements for how
an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an
acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in
a business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective as of the beginning of the
first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15,
2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Company is currently
evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption will have on its financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interest in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51"
("SFAS No. 160"), which will change the accounting and reporting for
minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests
and classified as a component of equity within the consolidated balance
sheets. SFAS No. 160 is effective as of the beginning of the first
fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier
adoption is prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if
any, that the adoption will have on its financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
NOTE
B - GOING CONCERN MATTERS
The
accompanying statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in
the normal course of business. As shown in the consolidated financial statements
during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred losses
from operations of $555,780 and $240,948, respectively. The Company's current
liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,337,939 as of December 31, 2007.
These factors among others may indicate that the Company will be unable to
continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
The
Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable
operations and resolve its liquidity problems. Management anticipates the
Company will attain profitable status and improve its liquidity through the
continued developing, marketing and selling of its products and additional
equity investment in the Company. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company
be unable to continue as a going concern.
In order
to improve the Company’s liquidity, the Company is actively pursuing additional
equity financing through discussions with investment bankers and private
investors. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in its
effort to secure additional equity financing.
If
operations and cash flows continue to improve through these efforts, management
believes that the Company can continue to operate. However, no assurance can be
given that management’s actions will result in profitable operations or the
resolution of its liquidity problems.

NOTE
I – INCOME TAXES
At
December 31, 2007, the Company had federal and state net operating loss
carry forwards that expire through 2027. Due to the uncertainty of its ability
to utilize the deferred tax assets relating to the loss carry forwards and other
temporary differences between tax and financial reporting purposes, the Company
has recorded a valuation allowance equal to the related deferred
tax assets. If the Company continues to generate U.S. taxable income in
future periods, reversal of this valuation allowance could have a
significant positive impact on net income. As a result of the existence of the
valuation allowance, no tax provision was required for the year ended December
31, 2007, except for certain state and local taxes which are not based on
current earnings.
In June
2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109
("FIN 48"). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute
for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken
or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, treatment of interest and penalties, and
disclosure of such positions. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company
adopted the provisions of FIN 48, as required. As a result of implementing FIN
48, there has been no adjustment to the Company’s financial statements and the
adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2007.
At
December 31, 2007, the significant components of the deferred tax assets
are summarized below:

Litigation
(Continued)
|
The
Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the
ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions or
settlements may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such
matters will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position,

Country
Risk
As the
Company's principal operations are conducted in the PRC, the Company is subject
to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with

respect to laws and regulations, among other things.
In
addition, the Company's transactions undertaken in the PRC are denominated in
Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY), which must be converted into other currencies
before remittance out of the PRC may be considered. Both the conversion of CNY
into foreign currencies and the remittance of foreign currencies abroad require
the approval of the PRC government.

of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures
that:
|
(i)
|
pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our
assets;
|
|
(ii)
|
provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors;
and
|
|
(iii)
|
provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have
a material effect on our financial
statements.
|
Management
has used the framework set forth in the report entitled “Internal
Control—Integrated Framework” published by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission to evaluate the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting. Based on their evaluation,
they concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
December 31, 2007.

internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

professional services provided by the Company’s principal accountant is to
pre-approve the engagement of the principal accountant for the performance of
all professional services. The policy does provide a waiver of pre-approval in
the event that such services, in the aggregate, will be less than 5% of the
