NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Accordingly, the results from operations for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2005. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated December 31, 2004 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's SEC Form 10-KSB.

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 operations through DBA (Doing Business As) agreements with Zunyi Jiahong Gas Co., Ltd. ("Jiahong"). 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.

Stock Based Compensation

In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 (“SFAS No. 148”), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of SFAS 123." This statement amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation expense for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the exercise price of the related option. The Company has adopted the annual disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 in its financial reports for the year ended December 31, 2004 and has adopted the interim disclosure provisions for its financial reports for the subsequent periods. The Company has no awards of stock-based employee compensation outstanding at June 30, 2005.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Stock Based Compensation (Continued)

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123R (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". Statement 123R supersedes APB opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and amends FASB Statement No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows". Generally, the approach in Statement 123R is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro-forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. On April 14, 2005, the SEC amended the effective date of the provisions of this statement. The effect of this amendment by the SEC is that the Company will have to comply with Statement 123R and use the Fair Value based method of accounting no later than the first quarter of 2006. Management has not determined the impact that this statement will have on Company's consolidated financial statements.

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. There are no significant credit transactions.

In February 2002, the Company entered into an agreement (“Agreement”) with Zunyi Municipal Government (“Government”) to design and install LPG pipeline systems in residential areas in the city of Zunyi, China on behalf of Government. In exchange for installing the pipeline, the Agreement provides for the Company to be the sole LPG supplier for those households. Pursuant to the Agreement, Government had paid to the Company 50% of the total contracted installation fees, and the Company has to collect the remaining 50% of contract price directly from the customers. The Company substantially completed the installation of the LPG pipeline as of December 31, 2002 and recognized revenues in the amount of fees collected from Government. The Company’s management has determined that the collectibility and length of time to collect the amount due from customers can not be reasonably assured. Accordingly, revenues are recognized as collected in connection with the portion of the contracted price to be collected from customers.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Revenue Recognition (Continued)

In May 2003, the Company entered into its Second Agreement (“Second Agreement”) with Government to design and install more LPG pipeline systems in residential areas in the city of Zunyi, China on behalf of Government. In exchange for installing the pipeline, the Second Agreement provides for the Company to be the sole LPG supplier for those households. Pursuant to the Second Agreement, Government is obligated to pay to the Company 50% of the total contracted installation price, and the Company has to collect the remaining 50% of contracted price directly from the customers. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company did not receive any payments from Government and thus delayed the installation of pipelines. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company received 50% of the total contracted price from Government and substantially completed the installation project. The Company recognized revenues in the amount of fees collected from Government during the year ended December 31, 2004. The Company management has determined that the collectibility and length of time to collect the remaining contracted price due from customers can not be reasonably assured. Accordingly, revenues will be recognized as collected in connection with the portion of contracted price to be collected from customers.

 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
 
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143,” which requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of FIN 47 no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Interpretation to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In May 2005 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements for changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 also requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle, such as a change in non-discretionary profit-sharing payments resulting from an accounting change, should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date this Statement is issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of this SFAS to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in prior year’s financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.

NOTE G - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In August 2005, the staff of the Los Angeles office of the Securities and Exchange Commission advised the Company that it had initiated a formal, non-public inquiry.  The Company and its officers have received document subpoenas seeking documents related to the previously announced contract between the Company and Shanghai Oil (Note D) and trading in the securities of the Company, among other things.

While the Company is confident in its practices, there is a risk that an enforcement proceeding will be recommended by the staff of the Commission as a result of this formal investigation. An enforcement proceeding could include allegations by the SEC that the Company and/or its officers violated, among others, the anti-fraud and books and records provisions of federal securities laws, and the rules thereunder. It cannot be predicted with certainty what the nature of such enforcement proceeding would be, the type of sanctions that might be sought, or what the likelihood would be of reaching settlement. The Company has been and expects to continue to cooperate with the ongoing SEC investigation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, included elsewhere within this Report.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY

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 with Jiahong Gas Co., Ltd. (“Jiahong”), registered under the Chinese laws in the Peoples Republic of China, Guizhou Province.

Through DBA agreements 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. These two pipelines currently serve approximately 440 customers. 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 serves 42 condominiums and was completed in July of 2005. Pipeline Number 4 will serve 60 condominiums. Construction schedules are being developed. Pipeline Number 5 will serve 1,067 condominiums with completion in August of 2005. Pipeline Number 6 will serve 5,000 condominiums and is currently in the architectural development stage. All of these pipelines will be operated by Largo Vista under exclusive 40-year supply contracts.

Largo Vista continues to engage in the petroleum supply business in Vietnam.

In addition, Largo Vista has 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 continues to evaluate the acquisition of other possible business opportunities in the Far East.

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 assigns to Largo Vista all of its rights under a prior contract with Asiacorp Investment Holding Ltd. to purchase fuel oil produced in Russia and deliver it to entities in The People’s Republic of China (the “Asiacorp Contract”). The Agreement states that deliveries will begin no later than May 18, 2005 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 provides that the price paid for the fuel oil will be eighteen dollars per metric ton less than the standard price of fuel oil in China based on Singapore Platt’s pricing quotations. The Agreement provides that Largo Vista will be guaranteed a minimum payment of two dollars ($2.00) per metric ton, and that Shanghai Oil will continue to be responsible for the logistics and financing of the delivery of the fuel oil. Although the discount provided in the Asiacorp Contract should generate greater proceeds from the sale of the fuel oil, at the two dollars ($2.00) per metric ton guaranteed in the Agreement, the full amount of fuel oil contemplated to be delivered in the Asiacorp Contract would generate payments to Largo Vista of thirteen million, three hundred eighty thousand dollars ($13,380,000) over the three (3) year period of the Asiacorp Contract. In exchange, Largo Vista will issue to Shanghai Oil one hundred million (100,000,000) shares of Largo Vista’s common stock, to be issued in three increments over the term of the Agreement, based upon Shanghai Oil’s actual deliveries of the fuel oil. Funds received by Largo Vista from the sale of the fuel oil, if any, and the issuance of our common shares, will be accounted for as a capital transaction .As of the date of this filing, Largo Vista has not received and nor delivered any oil under the Asiacorp Contract. Largo Vista has not released any of its shares of common stock to Shanghai Oil under the Asiacorp contract. As a result, Shanghai Oil is in default under the terms of the Asiacorp Contract. Largo Vista has formally notified Shanghai Oil of the default and has given Shanghai Oil until August 30 to cure its default. Although Shanghai Oil has assured Largo Vista that Shanghai Oil intends to perform on the contract, notwithstanding the current default, Largo has not independently verified that Shanghai Oil has the means to deliver on the contract and investors should understand that delivery is not certain.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue

During the quarter ended June 30, 2005 the Company realized $107,162 of revenue compared to $101,354 for the same period in the prior year, a 5.7% increase. During the six months ended June 30, 2005 revenues from operations were $161,773 as compared with $226,046 for the same period last year. The increase of 5.7% in revenue in the quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared with the same period last year is due to added customers with the pipeline operations. The decrease in the six month period ended June 30, 2005 of 28.4% compared with the six month ended June 30, 2004 is primarily attributable to the decrease in revenues from the unprofitable depot operations closed in the second quarter 2004.

Costs and Expenses

The decrease in cost of sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 is the result of improved margins achieved in our LPG sales. The six month decrease in cost of sales of $42,036 from June 30, 2005 as compared with the same last year is primarily attributable to the decrease in related revenues from the unprofitable depot operations closed in 2004.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2005 the Company incurred $118,840 of operating expenses compared to $77,406 for the same period in the prior year.; a $41,434 or 53.5% increase For the six month period ended June 30, 2005 operating expenses is $187,394 compared with $166,636 for the same period last year; an increase of $20,758 or 12.5%. The increase is due primarily to increases in professional, consulting and other related administrative services.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2005, we had a working capital deficit of $976,553. As a result of our operating losses for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, we generated a cash flow deficit of $216,372 from operating activities. . We met our cash requirements during this period through loans, net of repayments, from related parties totaling $171,338 and $40,979 from capital contributions from the Company's officers, principal shareholders and third parties.

While we have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past, additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash flow deficits from operations. We currently have no commitments for financing and there is no guarantee that we will be successful in raising the funds required. Certain shareholders and related parties have advanced funds and contributed capital to the Company in the past. There is no guarantee advances or contributions will continue into the future.

If we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations liquidity and financial condition.

The Company's independent certified public accountant has stated in his report included in the Company's December 31, 2004 Form 10-KSB, that the Company has incurred operating losses in the last two years, and that the Company is dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable operations.

The effect of inflation on the Company's revenue and operating results was not significant. The Company's operations are located in mainland China and there are no seasonal aspects that would have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

CAUTIONARY FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

Our annual report on Form 10-KSB, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2004 includes a detailed list of cautionary factors that may affect future results. Management believes that there have been material changes to the factors so listed, and as such should reflect positively on future results. That annual report can be accessed in the EDGAR section of the SEC website.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not had, and at June 30, 2005 do not have, any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION


Subsequent Events

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.

While the Company is confident in its practices, there is a risk that an enforcement proceeding will be recommended by the staff of the Commission as a result of this formal investigation. An enforcement proceeding could include allegations by the SEC that the Company and/or its officers violated, among others, the anti-fraud and books and records provisions of federal securities laws, and the rules thereunder. It cannot be predicted with certainty what the nature of such enforcement proceeding would be, the type of sanctions that might be sought, or what the likelihood would be of reaching settlement. The Company has been and expects to continue to cooperate with the ongoing SEC investigation.
