YASHENG ECO-TRADE CORPORATION
(f/k/a Vortex Resources Corp.)
Notes to Un-Audited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Business
 
Yasheng Eco-Trade Corporation (f/k/a Vortex Resources Corp, a/k/a Emvelco Corp), is a Delaware corporation and was organized on November 9, 1992. It was a development stage company through December 1993. Yasheng Eco-Trade Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as “Yash” or “Vortex” or the “Company”.  Effective July 15, 2009, the Company changed its name from Vortex Resources Corp. to Yasheng Eco-Trade Corporation.  In addition, effective July 15, 2009, the Company’s quotation symbol on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board was changed from VXRC to YASH.  

The Company’s headquarters are located in Beverly Hills, California, and its operational offices located in West Hollywood, California.

Since 1997, the Company’s strategy has been the identification and acquisition of undervalued assets within emerging industries for the purpose of consolidation and development of these businesses and sale if favorable market conditions exist.  The Company’s objective is to find, acquire and develop resources at the lowest cost possible and recycle its cash flows into new projects yielding the highest returns with controlled risk. In 2008, the Company focused on the mineral resources industry, commencing gas and oil sub-industry, which was approved by its shareholders.
 
Due to current issues in the development of the oil and gas project in Crockett County, Texas, the board obtained in January 2009, a reserve report for the Company's interest in Davy Crockett Gas Company, LLC (“DCG”) and Vortex Ocean One, LLC (“Vortex One”) which report indicated that the DCG properties as being negative in value. As a result of such report, the world and US recessions and the depressed oil and gas prices, the board of directors elected to dispose of the DCG property and/or desert the project in its entirely.
 
As a result of the series of these acquisition transactions, the Company’s ownership structure at June 30, 2009 is as follows (designated for sale – see subsequent events):

100% of DCG – discontinued operations
50% of Vortex Ocean One, LLC - discontinued operations
About 7% of Micrologic, (Via EA Emerging Ventures Corp)
 
In connection with the Company continuing its focus of the acquisition, exploration, and development of undervalued assets, the Company is now focusing on the active development of a logistic center (the “Asian Pacific Center”).  In connection with these efforts, the Company entered a contingent lease agreement for a “Big-Box” facility in Southern California (see subsequent events).
 
In connection with these efforts, the Company entered a term sheet with Yasheng Group ("Yasheng"), a group of companies engaged in the agriculture, chemicals and biotechnology businesses in the Peoples Republic of China and the export of such products to the United States, Canada, Australia, Pakistan and various European Union countries.  In connection with the development of the Asian Pacific Center, on January 20, 2009, the Company entered into a Term Sheet (the "Term Sheet") with Yasheng Group. Yasheng purchased 80 acres of property located in Victorville, California (the "Project Site") to be utilized for a logistics center. It is intended that the Asian Pacific Center will be implemented in two phases, first, the logistic centre, and then the development of an eco-trade cooperation zone. As set forth in the Term Sheet, Yasheng has received an option to merge all or part of its assets as well as the Project Site into the Company. As an initial stage, Yasheng will contribute the Project Site to the Company which will be accomplished through either the transferring title to the Project Site directly to the Company or the acquisition of the entity holding the Project Site by the Company. As consideration for the Project Site, the Company will issue Yasheng 130,000,000 shares of common stock (on a post reverse split basis). In addition, the Company will be required to issue Capitol Properties, an advisor, 100,000,000 shares of common stock.

At the second stage, if Yasheng exercises its option within its sole discretion, it may merge additional assets that it owns into the Company in consideration for shares of common stock of the Company. In the event that Yasheng exercises this option, the number of shares to be delivered by the Company will be calculated by dividing the value of the assets by the volume weighted average price for the ten days preceding the closing date. The value of the assets contributed by Yasheng will be based upon the asset value set forth in its audited financial statements.  On March 5, 2009, the Company and Yasheng implemented an amendment to the Term Sheet pursuant to which the parties agreed to explore further business opportunities including the potential lease of an existing logistics center located in Inland Empire, California, and/or alliance with other major groups complimenting and/or synergetic to the Vortex/Yasheng JV as approved by the board of directors on March 9, 2009. Further, in accordance with the amendment, the Company has agreed to issue 50,000,000 restricted shares to Yasheng and 38,461,538 restricted shares to Capitol Properties (which holding said shares for the benefit of Yasheng, and not claiming beneficial ownership) in consideration for exploring the business opportunities, based on the pro-ration set in the January Term Sheet. The shares of common stock were issued based on the Board consent on March 9, 2009, in connection with this transaction in a private transaction made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Rule 506 promulgated there under. Yasheng (and Capitol Properties for this effect) are accredited investors as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.  The shares certificates issued, including a legend which allow cancellation by the Company itself, in lieu of being issued subject to agreements. In order to finalize any transaction with Yasheng, Capitol Properties has agreed restructure its holdings as necessary.

The above transactions are subject to the drafting and negotiation of a final definitive agreement, performing due diligence as well as board approval of the Company. As such, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to successfully close the above transaction..

Effective February 24, 2009, the Company affected a reverse split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a 100 for one basis.    As a result of the reverse split, the issued and outstanding shares of common stock were reduced from 92,280,919 to 922,809.  The authorized shares of common stock remain as 400,000,000.  All shares amounts in this filling taking into effect said reverse, unless stated different. The Company issued stock on a post-split basis during the six months ended June 30, 2009, resulting in 105,834,347 shares issued and outstanding.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its majority-owned subsidiaries and all variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Control is determined based on ownership rights or, when applicable, whether the Company is considered the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity.

Variable Interest Entities

Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003) “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”), the Company is required to consolidate variable interest entities (“VIE's”), where it is the entity’s primary beneficiary. VIE's are entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The primary beneficiary is the party that has exposure to a majority of the expected losses and/or expected residual returns of the VIE.  

Based on the transactions, which were closed on November 2, 2007, the Company owned 58.3% of Atia Group Limited (AGL) as of December 31, 2007.  This interest was divested as of effective January 1st, 2008 upon completion of the DCG acquisition transaction. Since the company is the primary beneficiary through December 31, 2007, the financial statements of AGL are consolidated into these 2007 financial statements.  However, as of January 1, 2008, the balance sheet and results of operations of AGL are not consolidated into these financial statements.  The Company previously issued interim financial statements dated as of March 31, 2008 and for the three month period ending March 31, 2008.  Those financial statements included the consolidation of the AGL. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards, FAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, the Company disclosed the accounting change results in financial statements that are, in effect, the statements of a different reporting entity.  The change shall be retrospectively applied to the financial statements of all prior periods presented to show financial information for the new reporting entity for those periods.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying values of cash equivalents, notes and loans receivable, accounts payable, loans payable and accrued expenses approximate fair values.

Revenue recognition
 
The Company applies the provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 104”), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB 104 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product or service has been delivered, fees are fixed or determinable, collection is probable and all other significant obligations have been fulfilled.

Revenues from property sales are recognized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate,” when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer, when the consideration received can be reasonably determined and when the Company has completed its obligations to perform certain supplementary development activities, if any exist, at the time of the sale. Consideration is reasonably determined and considered likely of collection when the Company has signed sales agreements and has determined that the buyer has demonstrated a commitment to pay. The buyer’s commitment to pay is supported by the level of their initial investment, Vortex’ assessment of the buyer’s credit standing and the Company’s assessment of whether the buyer’s stake in the property is sufficient to motivate the buyer to honor their obligation to it.

Revenue from fixed price contracts is recognized on the percentage of   completion   method.   The   percentage of completion method is also used for condominium projects in which the Company is a real estate developer and all units have been sold prior to the completion of the preliminary stage and at least 25% of the project has been carried out. Percentage of completion is measured by the percentage of costs incurred to balance sheet date to estimated total costs.  Selling,   general, and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.  Profit incentives are included in revenues, when their realization is reasonably assured. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted projects are made in the period in which such losses are first determined, in the amount of the estimated loss of the full contract. Differences between estimates and actual costs and revenues are recognized in the year in which such differences are determined. The provision for warranties is provided at certain percentage of revenues, based on the preliminary calculations and best estimates of the Company's management.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues includes the cost of real estate sold and rented as well as costs directly attributable to the properties sold such as marketing, selling and depreciation.

Real estate

Real estate held for development is stated at the lower of cost or market. All direct and indirect costs relating to the Company's development project are capitalized in accordance with SFAS No. 67 "Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects". Such standard requires costs associated with the acquisition, development and construction of real estate and real estate-related projects to be capitalized as part of that project. The realization of these costs is predicated on the ability of the Company to successfully complete and subsequently sell or rent the property.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock is recorded at cost. Issuance of treasury shares is accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis. Differences between the cost of treasury shares and the re-issuance proceeds are charged to additional paid-in capital.

Foreign currency translation

The Company considers the United States Dollar (“US Dollar” or "$") to be the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries, the prior owned subsidiary, AGL, which reports its financial statements in New Israeli Shekel. (“N.I.S”) The reporting currency of the Company is the US Dollar and accordingly, all amounts included in the consolidated financial statements have been presented or translated into US Dollars. For non-US subsidiaries that do not utilize the US Dollar as its functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated to US Dollars at period-end exchange rates, and income and expense items are translated at weighted-average

Rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” within stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated results of operations for the periods presented.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and money market funds with maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition by the Company.

Marketable securities
 
The Company determines the appropriate classification of all marketable securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading at the time of purchase, and re-evaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“SFAS 115”). In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 03-01, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investment” (“EITF 03-01”), the Company assesses whether temporary or other-than-temporary gains or losses on its marketable securities have occurred due to increases or declines in fair value or other market conditions.

The Company did not have any marketable securities within continuing operations for the period ended June 30, 2009 (other than Treasury Stock as disclosed).

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The Company provides for depreciation of property and equipment using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Software
3 years
Computer equipment
3-5 years
Other furniture equipment and fixtures
5-7 years
 
The Company’s policy is to evaluate the appropriateness of the carrying value of long-lived assets. If such evaluation were to indicate an impairment of assets, such impairment would be recognized by a write-down of the applicable assets to the fair value. Based on the evaluation, no impairment was indicated in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (“SFAS 144”).

Equipment purchased under capital leases is stated at the lower of fair value and the present value of minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, less accumulated depreciation. The Company provides for depreciation of leased equipment using the straight-
line method over the shorter of estimated useful life and the lease term. During the year ended December 31, 2008 and the period ended June 30, 2009, the Company did not enter into any capital leases.

Recurring maintenance on property and equipment is expensed as incurred.

Goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill results from business acquisitions and represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired at the acquisition date. There was goodwill recorded in the transaction with AGL totaling $1.2 million as of December 31, 2007.  Since this subsidiary was divested as of January 1, 2008 in compliance with the C Properties Agreement, this goodwill was impaired during the first quarter of 2008 and presented as a consulting, director and professional fees in the P&L. As a result of the acquisition of DCG, the Company recorded Goodwill for a total of $49,990,000 as the former members of DCG were given conversion rights under the preferred stock arrangement for 50,000,000 common shares at a $1.00 price per share less the contribution of $10,000.

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, goodwill is tested for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Management evaluates the recoverability of goodwill by comparing the carrying value of the Company’s reporting units to their fair value. Fair value is determined based a market approach.  For the year ended December 31, 2008, an analysis was performed on the goodwill associated with the investment in DCG, and impairment was charged against the P&L for approximately $35.0 million.
 
Intangible assets that have finite useful lives, whether or not acquired in a business combination, are amortized over their estimated useful lives, and also reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS 144. On July 22, 2007, the Company entered into a $2 million note payable agreement with third party, which included an option to convert the debt into equity.  Accordingly, the Company recorded in intangible assets related to the discount on the issuance of debt.  The estimated value of the conversion feature is approximately $976,334, and will be reported as interest expense over the anticipated repayment period of the debt.  Said note was converted during August 2008 – as such all value of the conversion feature is approximately $976,334 was recorded as interest expense.
 
The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with Trafalgar Capital Specialized Investment Fund, Luxembourg ("Buyer") on September 25, 2008 for the sale of up to $2,750,000 in convertible notes (the "Notes"). The Company recorded an intangible asset related to the discount on the issuance of debt. The estimated value of the conversion feature was approximately $1,907,221 and will be reported as interest expense over the anticipated repayment period of the debt.  As reported under Legal proceedings on the Company annual filling, the Company notified Trafalgar that Trafalgar is in breech with regard to the services to be performed in accordance with the $2,000,000 loan agreement.  Pursuant to FASB 5, the $2,000,000 is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet since the outcome of the legal actions is undeterminable at this time. The Company filled a lawsuit against Trafalgar, and as such all the value of the conversion feature was recorded as interest expense in the first quarter of 2009.

As disclosed in note 1, the Company issued 50,000,000 restricted shares to Yasheng and 38,461,538 restricted shares to Capitol Properties (where Capitol Properties holding said shares as agent for Yasheng) in consideration for exploring the business opportunities. Said transaction is subject to the drafting and negotiation of a final definitive agreement, performing due diligence, and as such to both Yasheng shares include legend which allows the Company to cancel said shares if the transaction is not completed. Upon finalization of the transaction, the Company will record goodwill according to SFAS No. 142.

Comparative periods

Due to the financial investment in Gas and Oil activity, which commenced in May 2008 and the development of our logistic center operations, the consolidated statements of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are not comparable.  Most of the 2008 operating activities have been divested, see Note 5, and in order not to further confuse the readers, The Company did not combine all the June 2008 operating expenses and present them as one number under discontinued operations, but rather explain the change in the operating activities in (ITEM 2) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect the effect of dilutive potential common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and convertible preferred stock.

Comprehensive income (loss)

Comprehensive income includes all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by and distributions to shareholders.

Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities, are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Stock-based compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). Under SFAS 123R, the Company is required to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The measured cost is recognized in the statement of operations over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Additionally, if an award of an equity instrument involves a performance condition, the related compensation cost is recognized only if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R , the Company accounted for stock-based employee compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations, and chose to adopt the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”). Under APB 25, the Company did not recognize expense related to employee stock options because the exercise price of such options was equal to the quoted market price of the underlying stock at the grant date.

The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2006. Under this method, compensation cost recognized during the year ended December 31, 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123 and amortized on an straight-line basis over the requisite service period, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Results for prior periods have not been restated.

The Company estimates the fair value of each option award on the date of the grant using the Black-Schulz option valuation model. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a period commensurate with the options’ expected term. The expected term represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and is calculated in accordance with SEC guidance provided in the SAB 107, using a “simplified” method. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the Company’s stock options.

The amount of $2,018,101 as total non-cash stock-based employee compensation expense, included in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008, as Consulting, professional and directors fees (no such expenses during the six months ended on June 30, 2009).

 Recently Issued Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (“SAB 110”). SAB 110 amends and replaces Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14, “Share-Based Payment,” of the Staff Accounting Bulletin series. Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14 expresses the views of the staff regarding the use of the “simplified” method in developing an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” share options and allows usage of the “simplified” method for share option grants prior to December 31, 2007. SAB 110 allows public companies which do not have historically sufficient experience to provide a reasonable estimate to continue to use the “simplified” method for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” share option grants after December 31, 2007. The Company will continue to use the “simplified” method until it has enough historical experience to provide a reasonable estimate of expected term in accordance with SAB 110.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 141-R, “Business Combinations.” SFAS 141-R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (referred to as the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. It also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141-R will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. While the Company has not yet evaluated the impact, if any, that SFAS 141-R will have on its consolidated financial statements, the Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after September 30, 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.” This Statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, that SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued

For fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157–2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which provides a one year deferral of the effective date of SFAS 157 for non–financial assets and non–financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in  the financial statements at fair value at least annually. Therefore, effective January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 with respect to our financial assets and liabilities only. Since the Company has no investments available for sale, the adoption of this pronouncement has no material impact to the financial statements.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement provides entities the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 159 and have chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”. This Statement is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  This Statement is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date—that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued.  This disclosure should alert all users of financial statements that an entity has not evaluated subsequent events after that date in the set of financial statements being presented. This Statement should not result in significant changes in the subsequent events that an entity reports—either through recognition or disclosure—in its financial statements.  This Statement introduces the concept of financial statements being available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This disclosure should alert all users of financial statements that an entity has not evaluated subsequent events after that date in the set of financial statements being presented.
 
Gas Rights on Real Property, plant, and equipment

Depreciation, depletion and amortization, based on cost less estimated salvage value of the asset, are primarily determined under either the unit-of-production method or the straight-line method, which is based on estimated asset service life taking obsolescence into consideration. Maintenance and repairs, including planned major maintenance, are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized and the assets replaced are retired. Interest costs incurred to finance expenditures during the construction phase of multiyear projects are capitalized as part of the historical cost of acquiring the constructed assets. The project construction phase commences with the development of the detailed engineering design and ends when the constructed assets are ready for their intended use. Capitalized interest costs are included in property, plant and equipment and are depreciated over the service life of the related assets.
 
The Company used the “successful efforts” method to account for its exploration and production activities. Under this method, costs are accumulated on a field-by-field basis with certain exploratory expenditures and exploratory dry holes being expensed as incurred. Costs of productive wells and development dry holes are capitalized and amortized on the unit-of-production method. The Company records an asset for exploratory well costs when the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and where the Company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. Exploratory well costs not meeting these criteria are charged to expense. Acquisition costs of proved properties are amortized using a unit-of-production method, computed on the basis of total proved natural gas reserves. Significant unproved properties are assessed for impairment individually and valuation allowances against the capitalized costs are recorded based on the estimated economic chance of success and the length of time that the Company expects to hold the properties. The valuation allowances are reviewed at least annually. Other exploratory expenditures, including geophysical costs, other dry hole costs and annual lease rentals, are expensed as incurred.
 
Unit-of-production depreciation is applied to property, plant and equipment, including capitalized exploratory drilling and development costs, associated with productive depletable extractive properties.  Unit-of-production rates are based on the amount of proved developed reserves of natural gas and other minerals that are estimated to be recoverable from existing facilities using current operating methods. Under the unit-of-production method, natural gas volumes are considered produced once they have been measured through meters at custody transfer or sales transaction points at the outlet valve on the lease or field storage tank.
 
Gains on sales of proved and unproved properties are only recognized when there is no uncertainty about the recovery of costs applicable to any interest retained or where there is no substantial obligation for future performance by the Company’s. Losses on properties sold are recognized when incurred or when the properties are held for sale and the fair value of the properties is less than  the carrying value. Proved oil and gas properties held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets.  The Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows of the affected properties to judge the recoverability of carrying amounts. Cash flows used in impairment evaluations are developed using annually updated corporate plan investment evaluation assumptions for natural gas commodity prices. Annual volumes are based on individual field production profiles, which are also updated annually. Cash flow estimates for impairment testing exclude derivative instruments. Impairment analyses are generally based on proved reserves. Where probable reserves exist, an appropriately risk-adjusted amount of these reserves may be included in the impairment evaluation. Impairments are measured by the amount the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

Restoration, Removal and Environmental Liabilities

The Company is subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations.  These laws regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require the Company to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of natural gas substances at various sites.  Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit.  Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefit are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures of a non capital nature are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the timing of cash payments for the liability or component is fixed or reliably determinable.

The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (SFAS 143). SFAS 143 addresses accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs.  SFAS 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset's retirement obligation be recorded in the period in which it is incurred and the corresponding  cost capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset.  The liability is accreted to its then present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset.  The Company will include estimated future costs of abandonment and dismantlement in the full cost amortization base and amortize these costs as a component of our depletion expense in the accompanying financial statements.
 
Business segment reporting

Though the company had minor holdings of real estate properties which have been sold as of June 30, 2009, the Company manages its operations in one business segment, the Resources, Logistic Development, Development and Mineral business.
 
3. Notes Payable and Debt Discount

Trafalgar:
 
The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with Trafalgar Capital Specialized Investment Fund, Luxembourg ("Buyer") on September 25, 2008 for the sale of up to $2,750,000 in convertible notes (the "Notes").
 
The Notes bear interest at 8.5% with such interest payable on a monthly basis with the first two payments due at closing. The Notes are due in full in September 2010. As of the date hereof, the Company is obligated on the Notes issued to the Buyer in connection with this offering. The Notes are a debt obligation arising other than in the ordinary course of business, which constitute a direct financial obligation of the Company. The Notes were offered and sold to the Buyer in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated there under. The Buyer is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

The Company recorded an intangible asset related to the discount on the issuance of debt. The estimated value of the conversion feature was approximately $1,907,221.    Per APB21, the discount was calculated using the effective interest method.  The Company considered prevailing rates that borrowers with similar credit ratings and similar risks would have obtained from other sources.  The discount was amortized over the term of the debt and reflected in interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.  The rate used for the transaction was 5.83%.

The debt conversion feature or discount can be found in the Consolidated Statements of Shareholder’ Equity.  EITF 00-19 – Intrinsic value of a conversion feature – contingent conversion shows recording of the debt discount as an asset separate from the note and also recorded as a component of shareholders’ equity upon conversion. As reported under Legal proceedings, the Company notified Buyer that Buyer is in breach with regard to the services to be performed in accordance with the $2,000,000 loan agreement.  A complaint was filled by the Company in Los Angeles, California on April 2009.   Up to the date of this filling, the Company failed to serve Buyer in its Florida offices with said Complaint even though many attempts were done. The Company continue its attempts to serve Buyer in Florida as well as overseas Pursuant to FASB 5, the $2,000,000 is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet since the outcome of the legal actions is undeterminable at this time. The Company expensed the all conversion feature of $1,907,221 as interest expense in these financials, and did not accrued interest on the notes, in lieu of the company position that Trafalgar is in default, and complaint was filled. The parties holding negotiations trying to resolve the issues without the needs of court interfering.

Third Parties:

The Balance of $270,000 represents two investors which invested with the Company on its prior DCG business, as passive investors during 2008.The Company and said investors, negotiating in good faith the terms of said investment in lieu of the Company dissolved its interest in DCG assets.

5. Dispositions

On August 19, 2008, the Company entered into a Final Fee Agreement (the “Consultant Agreement”) with a third party, C. Properties Ltd. (“Consultant”). Pursuant to the Consultant Agreement, the Company agreed with the Consultant to exchange the Company’s interest in AGL as a final fee in connection with its DCG acquisition.  The Company had to pay Consultant certain fees in accordance with the Consultant Agreement and the Consultant had agreed that, in lieu of cash payment, it would receive an aggregate of up to 734,060,505 shares of stock of the AGL.

As of March 2009 the board of directors of the company decided to vacate the DCG project. Goodwill was impaired by approximately $35.0M in association with this segment in the Company’s 2008 financials.

Due to current issues in the development of the oil and gas project in Crockett County, Texas, the board obtained a current reserve report for the Company's interest in DCG and Vortex One (on January 2009), which report indicated that the DCG properties as being negative in value. As a result of such report, the world and US recessions and the depressed oil and gas prices, the board of directors elected to dispose of the DCG property and/or desert the project in its entirely.

On June 30, 2008, the Company formed Vortex One, a limited liability company, with Tiran Ibgui, an individual ("Ibgui") as reported on the Company's 8-K. Said agreements, in addition, included the assignment of its four leases in Crockett County, Texas to Vortex One.

10. Change in the Reporting Entity

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards, FAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, when an accounting change results in financial statements that are, in effect, the statements of a different reporting entity, the change shall be retrospectively applied to the financial statements of all prior periods presented to show financial information for the new reporting entity for those periods. Previously issued interim financial information shall be presented on a retrospective basis.

On August 19, 2008 the Company entered into final fee agreement with C. Properties (“Consultant”), where the Company had to pay Consultant certain fees in accordance with the agreement entered with the Consultant, the Consultant has agreed that, in lieu of cash payment, it will receive an aggregate of up to 734,060,505 shares of stock of the AGL, and the Consultant was not advised on the restructuring of the acquisition of DCG by the Corporation, and in order to compensate the Consultant and avoid any potential litigation, the Company has agreed to waive the above production requirements and convey all its holdings with AGL immediately, with such transfer considered effective January 1, 2008. Based on the agreement, the Company disposed all its holdings in AGL effective January 1, 2008, and these financials reflect such disposal.  Further, the Company previously issued interim financial statements dated as of March 31, 2008 and for the three month period ending March 31, 2008.  Those financial statements included the consolidation of the AGL.  Since the agreement with Consultant was retroactively applied to January 1, 2008, the following tables explain the effect of the change of the Company’s financial balances without consolidating AGL:

On August 4, 2009, the Company filed a Form 8-K Current Report with the Securities and Exchange Commission advising that Eric Qian Wang (“Wang”) was appointed as a director of the Company on August 3, 2009. Mr. Yang was nominated as a director at the suggestion of Yasheng which approved the filing of the initial Form 8-K. On August 5, 2009, Mr. Wang contacted the Company advising that he has not consented to such appointment. Accordingly, Mr. Wang has been nominated as a director of the Company but has not accepted such nomination and is not considered a director of the Company. Mr. Wang's nomination was subsequently withdrawn. Furthermore, although no longer relevant, Mr. Wang's work history as disclosed on the initial Form 8K was derived from a resume provided by Mr. Wang. Subsequent to the filing of the Form 8-K, Mr. Wang advised that the disclosure regarding his work history was inaccurate. As a result, the disclosure relating to Mr. Wang's work history should be completely disregarded. The Company believe that at the time that these willful, malicious, false and fraudulent representations were made by Wang to the company, Wang knew that the representations were false and that he never intended to be appointed to the board. The company informed and believe the delivery of the resumes, and the later demand for a retraction of the resumes, were part of a scheme (with others) to injure the business reputation of the company to otherwise damages its credibility such that the Company would have a lesser bargaining position in the finalization of the documents relating to the Yasheng transaction. As such the Company is preparing a complaint against Wang.
 
On August 17, 2009, an accredited investor purchased 350,877 restricted shares of common stock (the "Shares") at $0.57 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000, which was paid in cash, from the Company. The funds raised will be utilized by the Company for working capital purposes. In addition, the investor may also invest up to an additional $200,000 ("Additional Investment") of shares of common stock of the Company. The per share purchase price on the Additional Investment will be the average closing price for the five trading days prior to close. The Shares were offered and sold to the accredited investor in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The investor is accredited investors as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

Estimated Quantities of Proved Oil and Gas Reserves

The following table presents the Company's estimate of its net proved crude oil and natural gas reserves as of September 30, 2008 elated to continuing operations. The Company's management emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise than those of producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as future information becomes available. The estimates have been prepared by independent natural gas reserve engineers.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves

The following disclosures concerning the standardized measure of future cash flows from proved crude oil and natural gas are presented in accordance with SFAS No. 69. The standardized measure does not purport to represent the fair market value of the Company's proved crude oil and natural gas reserves. An estimate of fair market value would also take into account, among other factors, the recovery of reserves not classified as proved, anticipated future changes in prices and costs, and a discount factor more representative of the time value of money and the risks inherent in reserve estimates. Under the standardized measure, future cash inflows were estimated by applying period-end prices at December 31, 2008 adjusted for fixed and determinable escalations, to the estimated future production of year-end proved reserves. Future cash inflows were reduced by estimated future production and development costs based on year-end costs to determine pre-tax cash inflows. Future income taxes were computed by applying the statutory tax rate to the excess of pre-tax cash inflows over the tax basis of the properties. Operating loss carry forwards, tax credits, and permanent differences to the extent estimated to be available in the future were also considered in the future income tax calculations, thereby reducing the expected tax expense. Future net cash inflows after income taxes were discounted using a 10% annual discount rate to arrive at the Standardized Measure.
 
Set forth below is the Standardized Measure relating to proved undeveloped natural gas reserves for the period ending December 31, 2008:

   
Period ending December 31,
2008 (in thousands of $)
   
Period ending
March 30, 2008 (in

Future cash inflows, net of royalties

Future production costs
    (32,964 )     (38,702 )
Future development costs
    (43,050 )     (25,800 )
Future income tax expense
             
   Net future cash flows
    33,876       166,728  
   Discount

Standardized Measure of discounted future net cash relating to proved reserves

Changes in Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Natural Gas Reserves. The table above shows the second standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows for the Company since inception.  Accordingly, there are material changes to disclose, which in essence were contributed by substantial decline in gas prices in lieu of the financial turmoil that the USA (and the world) is facing.
 
Drilling Contract:
 
On July 1, 2008, DC Gas entered into a Drilling Contract (Model Turnkey Contract) ("Drilling Contract") with Ozona Natural Gas Company LLC ("Ozona"). Pursuant to the Drilling Contract, Ozona has been engaged to drill four wells in Crockett County, Texas. The drilling of the first well commenced immediately at the cost of $525,000 and the drilling of the subsequent three wells shall take place in secession. The drilling operations on the first well are due to funding provided by Vortex One. Such drilling took place, and the Vortex One well has successfully hit natural gas at a depth of 4,783 feet.  Due to this success with the first well, the Company commenced drilling on its second well on August 18, 2008, and it’s remaining 2 other locations parallel.  As disclosed on this report Vortex one entered into sale agreements of said four assignments, and allows 60 days extension (until July 1, 2009) to both Buyer and operator, to commence payments.

On January 20, 2009, the Company entered into a non-binding Term Sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with Yasheng Group, Inc., a California corporation (“Yasheng”).  Yasheng is an agriculture conglomerate which has subsidiaries located in the Peoples Republic of China who are engaged in the production and distribution of agricultural, chemical and biotechnological products to the United States, Canada, Australia, Pakistan and various European Union countries as well as in China.  Pursuant to the Term Sheet, Yasheng agreed to transfer 100% ownership of 80 acres of property located in Victorville, California for use as a logistics center and eco-trade cooperation zone (the “Project”).  Vortex has also agreed that it will change its name from “Vortex Resources Corp.” to “Yasheng Eco-Trade Corporation”.  As consideration for contributing the property, the Company agreed to issue Yasheng 130,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and Capital Properties (“Capitol”), an advisor on the transaction, 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  On March 5, 2009, the Company and Yasheng implemented an amendment to the Term Sheet pursuant to which the parties agreed to explore further business opportunities including the potential lease of an existing logistics center, and/or alliance with other major groups complimenting and/or synergetic to the development of a logistics center.  Further, in accordance with the amendment, the Company has agreed to issue 50,000,000 shares to Yasheng and 38,461,538 shares to Capitol (where Capitol does not have beneficial ownership claims and holds said shares for the benefit of Yasheng) in consideration for exploring the business opportunities and their efforts associated with the development of the logistics center.  The issuance of the shares of common stock to Yasheng and Capital Properties resulted in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders of the Company. but did not represent a change of control in the Company in light of the number of shares of common stock and Super Voting Series B Preferred Stock that was outstanding on the date of issuance.   The Company and Yasheng have also evaluated several properties throughout California with the goal of leasing the property to be used for the logistics center.  Management believes that leasing the property with an option to buy will have significant cost savings in comparison to acquiring such property.    In June 2009, the Company has narrowed in search down to a few potential properties.

Our mission will be to develop an Asian Pacific Cooperation Zone in Southern California to enhance and enable increased trade between the United States and China. Our facility will provide a “Gateway to China” through a centralized location for the marketing, sales, customer service, product completion for “Made in the USA” products and distribution of goods imported from China. It will also promote Joint Ventures and exporting opportunities for US companies.
 
The importing or sourcing materials from China has been the solution for creating significant margins for goods sold in the United States.  While many large multi-national companies have been able to navigate and capitalize on the opportunities the Chinese industrial complex has created, most US companies simply do not have the resources to manage the complexities of working with companies in China.  Some of the complexities for US companies importing from China include selecting the right manufacturer or vendor for your company, addressing transportation, tax and customs issues and quality control and delivery issues..
 
Due to the complexities and uncertainties US companies have found trying to import goods and services from China, our goal is to establish a centralized US based trade center. The goal is to create a “Gateway to China” with warehouse and office space. The warehouse will be centrally located in Southern California with easy access to the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, and railways. The warehouse will have the ability to handle both 20 and 40 foot containers including wet, dry and cold storage. The office space will be designed to provide US headquarters for the Chinese companies involved. One of the keys to success for the Asian Pacific Cooperation Zone is the ability to leverage a common infrastructure of technology, administration and transportation to sell goods and services in the United States. We anticipate the Cooperative zone will be utilized for distribution, sales, marketing, warehousing, administration, customer service, showroom display, pick and pack services as well as other value added services that prepares products for delivery to customers.
 
The goal is for the Asian Pacific Cooperation Zone to initially house about 50 companies. We expect to initially to retain these companies through our relationship with Yasheng Group which will include their subsidiaries as well as other companies from the Gansu region of Northwest China.
 
The business model is to facilitate the importing and exporting of goods and services. The primary regions for import/export are Gansu China and the western United States. Imports and Exports will be promoted and managed through the Asian Pacific Cooperation Zone. Revenue will be generated through a number of offerings including the lease of office space, storage space, distribution services, and administration services along with other value added services.

On August 12, 2009, the Company entered into a 45 day exclusivity period to finalize an "Option to Buy" on a lease agreement for a "big box" facility located in Southern, California (the "Facility"). The Facility consists of approximately 1,000,010 square feet industrial building located in Victorville, California and the lease is expected to commence November 1, 2009 and continue for a period of seven years, with two five-year extension periods The Company will advanced a $25,000 non-refundable deposit representing 10% of the required security deposit for the entire lease. The non-refundable deposit will allow the Company to exclusively negotiate the option to buy the Facility as all other terms of the lease have been agreed upon in principal. The entering of the lease by the Company is subject to the negotiation of the the option to purchase the facility, drafting of a standard lease agreement, if any, and obtaining board approval of the Company. As such, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to successfully execute acquire such lease. Assuming that the option to purchase is finalized, the economic terms of the lease agreement of the Facility (as all other terms of the lease have been agreed upon in principal) will be as follows:

Our successful development of the logistics center includes many risks including raising adequate funds to pay for the lease of the facility and development of the facility of which there is no guarantee that such funds will be available, the general state of the economy in both the United States and China and concerns over whether the recession will continue or even possibly deepen.  Further, if we fail to enter into a definitive agreement with Yasheng Group, we will lose a significant source of our potential clients for the logistics center.  As such, we would be required to develop additional sources of clients and develop a significant sales force to achieve such result.
 
Yasheng Group Option

Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the Company granted Yasheng an irrevocable option to merge all or part of its assets into the Company (the “Yasheng Option”). If Yasheng exercises the Yasheng Option, as consideration for the transaction to be completed between the parties, Vortex will issue Yasheng such number of shares of the Company’s common stock calculated by dividing the value of the assets which will be included in the transaction with the Company by the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock as quoted on a national securities exchange or the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board for the ten days preceding the closing date of such transaction. The value of the assets contributed by Yasheng will be based upon the asset value set forth in Yasheng’s audited financial statements provided to the Company prior to the closing of any such transaction.  Furthermore, if a substantial portion of Yasheng is merged into the Company upon the exercise of the Yasheng Option, the Company agreed to change its name to “The Yasheng Group, Inc.” As of the date hereof, Yasheng has not exercised the Yasheng Option.  The issuance of the shares of common stock to Yasheng upon completion of the transaction(s) to be completed subsequent to the exercise of the Yasheng Option will potentially result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders of the Company and could result in a change of control of the Company on the date of issuance.  The transaction to be completed upon the exercise of the Yasheng Option is subject to the drafting and negotiation of a final definitive agreement, performing due diligence as well as board approval from both parties. As such, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to successfully close the above transaction.

In lieu of merging its assets into the Company, the Company and Yasheng entered into an additional Letter of Intent on June 12, 2009 whereby Yasheng agreed to use its best efforts to have the majority stockholders of Yasheng (the "Group Stockholders") enter and close an agreement with the Company whereby the Company would acquire approximately 55% of the issued and outstanding securities of Yasheng from the Group Stockholders in consideration of 300,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The June 12, 2009 letter of intent was approved by the Company's Board of Directors on August 12, 2009. The Company and Yasheng initially contemplated a closing date of July 15, 2009. As the execution of a definitive agreement and the closing did not occur by July 15, 2009, all parties are working to close such transaction upon satisfaction of all closing conditions.  The closing of the acquisition will require the completion of definitive documentation executed by the Company, the Group Stockholders and Group, and the completion of due diligence.  Final closing is subject to approval of the final definitive agreements by the Boards of Directors of the Company and Group. . There is no guarantee that the Group Stockholders will agree to this transaction, that the parties will reach a final agreement or that the transaction will close on the terms set forth above.

Real Estate Development and Financial Services Industries
 
Until December 31, 2007, the Company’s primary focus was on the business of real estate development and financial services industries through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Emvelco RE Corp, a Delaware corporation. (“ERC”) and ERC’s subsidiaries in the United States and Europe.  The Company has resolved to discontinue its real estate operations. 
 
Mineral Resources Industry

In 2008, the Company’s primary focus shifted from real estate development and financial services industries to the mineral resources industry, specifically within the gas and oil sub-industry. On May 1, 2008, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Exchange (the “DCG Agreement”) with Davy Crockett Gas Company, LLC (“DCG”) and its members (“DCG Members”). Pursuant to the DCG Agreement, the Company acquired and the DCG Members sold, 100% of the outstanding membership in DCG in exchange for 500,000 shares of preferred stock of the Company. The sales price was $50 million, as calculated by the 500 thousand on shares at an agreed price of $1.00 prior to the reverse split.

On June 30, 2008, the Company formed Vortex Ocean One LLC (“Vortex One”) with Tiran Ibgui, an individual ("Ibgui"). In addition, we assigned the four leases in Crockett County, Texas to Vortex One.  As a condition precedent to Ibgui contributing the required funding, Vortex One pledged all of its assets to Ibgui including the leases.   On October 29, 2008, the Company entered into a settlement arrangement with Mr. Ibgui, whereby the Company agreed to transfer the 5,250 common shares previously owned by Vortex One to Mr. Ibgui.  

Due to current issues in the development of the oil and gas project in Crockett County, Texas, the board obtained a current reserve report for the Company’s interest in DCG and Vortex One, which report indicated that the DCG properties as being negative in value. As a result of such report, the world and US recessions and the depressed oil and gas prices, the board of directors elected to dispose of the DCG property and/or desert the project in its entirety.

Further, in February 28, 2009, Ibgui, as the secured lender to Vortex One, directed Vortex One to assign the term assignments with 80% of the proceeds being delivered to Ibgui, as secured lender, and 20% of the proceeds being delivered to the Company – as per the original agreement.  The transaction closed on February 28, 2009 in consideration of a cash payment in the amount of $225,000, a 12 month promissory note in the amount of $600,000 and a 60 month promissory note in the amount of $1,500,000. Mr. Ibgui paid $25,000 fee, and from the net consideration of $200,000 Mr. Ibgui paid the Company its 20% portion of $40,000 on March 3, 2009. No relationship exists between Ibgui, the assignee of the leases and the Company  and/or its affiliates, directors, officers or any associate of an officer or director.

On January 13, 2009, the Company entered into a Non Binding Term Sheet (the “Grand Term Sheet”) to enter into a definitive asset purchase agreement with Grand Pacaraima Gold Corp. (“Grand”), which owns 80% of the issued and outstanding securities of International Treasure Finders Incorporated to acquire certain oil and gas rights on approximately 481 acres located in Woodward County, Oklahoma (the “Woodward County Rights”).  In consideration for the Woodward County Rights, the Company will pay Grand an amount equal to 50% of the current reserves.  The consideration shall be paid half in shares of common stock of the Company and half in the form of a note.  The number of shares to be delivered by the Company will be calculated based upon the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) for the ten days preceding the closing date.  The note will mature on December 31, 2009 and carry interest of 9% per annum payable monthly.  In addition, the note will be convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a 10% discount to the VWAP for the ten days preceding conversion.  At the Company election, the Company may enter into this transaction utilizing a subsidiary to be traded on the Swiss Stock Exchange.  The above transaction is subject to the receipt of a reserve report, drafting and negotiation of a final definitive agreement, performing due diligence as well as board approval of the Company. As such, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to successfully close the above transaction. Dr. Gregory Rubin, a director of the Company, is an affiliate of ITFI and, as a result, has recused himself from any discussions regarding this matter.  Due to the drastic decline in gas and oil prices, the Company has shelved this transaction and may in the future again attempt to commence discussions with Grand in the future.

Micrologic, Inc.

On October 11, 2006, the Company, through EA Emerging Ventures Inc. (“EVC”) entered into a Term Sheet (the “Micro Term Sheet”) with Dr. Danny Rittman in connection with the formation and initial funding of Micrologic, Inc. (“Micrologic”), a Nevada corporation, for the design and production of EDA applications and Integrated Circuit (“IC”) design processes; specifically, the development and production of the NanoToolBox TM  tools suite which shortens the time to market factor. NanoToolBox TM is a smart platform that is designed to accelerate IC’s design time and shrink time to market factor.   Pursuant to the Micro Term Sheet, the Company was obligated to fund Micrologic $1 million and only funded $400,000 to date.

On November 15, 2007, the parties entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement and Amendment No. 1 (the “Micro Amendment”) to that certain Micro Term Sheet.  Pursuant to the Micro Amendment, the Company was required to fund an additional $50,000 for a total investment of $450,000 and received 100,000 shares of Micrologic (vested via EVC) representing about ten percent (10%) equity ownership in Micrologic, prior to further dilution. The Micro Amendment also contains a settlement and release clause releasing the parties from any further obligations to each other.  Micrologic subsequently issued additional securities diluting our interest to approximately 7% of the issued and outstanding of Micrologic, Inc.
 
Employees

As of the date of this filling, the Company employed a total of four full-time employees, all of whom are in executive and administrative functions.  We believe that our employee relations are good.

Effective February 24, 2009, the Company affected a reverse split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a 100 for one basis.    As a result of the reverse split, the issued and outstanding shares of common stock were reduced from 92,280,919 to 922,809.  The authorized shares of common stock remain as 400,000,000.  All shares amounts in this filling taking into effect said reverse, unless stated different. The Company issued stock on a post-split basis during the six months ended June 30, 2009, resulting in 105,834,347 shares issued and outstanding

Results of Operations 
 
Six Months Period Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to Six Months Period Ended June 30, 2008

Due to the financial investment in Gas and Oil activity, which commenced in May 2008 and the development of our logistic center operations, the consolidated statements of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are not comparable.

The financial figures for 2008 only include the corporate expenses of the Company’s legal entity registered in the State of Delaware.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Company currently anticipates that its available cash resources will not be sufficient to meet its presently anticipated working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.  During the quarter and years 2009 and 2008, Yossi Attia paid substantial expenses for the Company and also deferred his salary. As of June 30, 2009, the Company owes Mr., Attia approximately $614,000.  The Company will either need to raise capital from third parties or continue borrowing funds from Mr. Attia.  There is no guarantee that funds from private investors or Mr. Attia will continue to be available.

On August 17, 2009, an accredited investor purchased 350,877 restricted shares of common stock (the "Shares") at $0.57 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000, which was paid in cash, from the Company. The funds raised will be utilized by the Company for working capital purposes. In addition, the investor may also invest up to an additional $200,000 ("Additional Investment") of shares of common stock of the Company. The per share purchase price on the Additional Investment will be the average closing price for the five trading days prior to close. The Shares were offered and sold to the accredited investor in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The investor is accredited investors as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

As of June 30, 2009, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $2,736, a decrease of approximately $121,000 from the end of fiscal year 2008. The decrease in our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities is primarily the result of our convertible note payable to equity of $1,030,000.  This was offset by our net operating loss.

38

 
Cash flows (used in) and provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $(121,166) and $(687,817), respectively. The change is primarily due to the result of our increase in payables along with conversion of a note for $1,030,000 which was offset by our net operating loss in addition the cash used in operating activities from prior year pertained to divesture of the Micrologic entity which was not applicable for 2009.

Cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $0 and $(166,058), respectively. The change was primarily due to the significant reduction in loan advances to ERC  in 2008, which did not occur in 2009.
 
Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $0 and $1,025,731 respectively. This decrease is due to decreased net funding from Trafalgar and net bank loans of approximately $600,000  and an increase in issuance of stock of approximately $500,000 in 2008.

In the event the Company makes future acquisitions or investments, additional bank loans or fund raising may be used to finance such future acquisitions. The Company may consider the sale of non-strategic assets. The Company currently anticipates that its available cash resources will be sufficient to meet its prior anticipated working capital requirements and it will be sufficient manage the existing business of the Company without further development.
 
Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). This preparation requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. US GAAP provides the framework from which to make these estimates, assumptions and disclosures. We choose accounting policies within US GAAP that management believes are appropriate to accurately and fairly report our operating results and financial position in a consistent manner. Management regularly assesses these policies in light of current and forecasted economic conditions. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions for a number of reasons. Our accounting policies are stated in details in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We identified the following accounting policies as critical to understanding the results of operations and representative of the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements: impairment of goodwill, allowance for doubtful accounts, acquisition related assets and liabilities, accounting of income taxes and analysis of FIN46R as well as FASB 67.

Investment in Real Estate and Commercial Leasing Assets. Real estate held for sale and construction in progress is stated at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell and includes acreage, development, construction and carrying costs and other related costs through the development stage. Commercial leasing assets, which are held for use, are stated at cost. When events or circumstances indicate than an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable, an impairment test is performed in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 144. For properties held for sale, if estimated fair value less costs to sell is less than the related carrying amount, then a reduction of the assets carrying value to fair value less costs to sell is required. For properties held for use, if the projected undiscounted cash flow from the asset is less than the related carrying amount, then a reduction of the carrying amount of the asset to fair value is required. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset. Generally, we determine fair value using valuation techniques such as discounted expected future cash flows. Based on said GAAP, the Company made a provision to doubtful debts, on all ERC and Verge balances.

Our expected future cash flows are affected by many factors including:

a) The economic condition of the US and Worldwide markets – especially during these current times of worldwide financial crisis.

b) The performance of the underline assets in the markets where our properties are located;

c) Our financial condition, which may influence our ability to develop our properties; and

d) Governmental regulations.

Because any one of these factors could substantially affect our estimate of future cash flows, this is a critical accounting policy because these estimates could result in us either recording or not recording an impairment loss based on different assumptions. Impairment losses are generally substantial charges.

The estimate of our future revenues is also important because it is the basis of our development plans and also a factor in our ability to obtain the financing necessary to complete our development plans. If our estimates of future cash flows from our properties differ from expectations, then our financial and liquidity position may be compromised, which could result in our default under certain debt instruments or result in our suspending some or all of our development activities.

39

 
Allocation of Overhead Costs. We periodically capitalize a portion of our overhead costs and also allocate a portion of these overhead costs to cost of sales based on the activities of our employees that are directly engaged in these activities. In order to accomplish this procedure, we periodically evaluate our “corporate” personnel activities to see what, if any, time is associated with activities that would normally be capitalized or considered part of cost of sales. After determining the appropriate aggregate allocation rates, we apply these factors to our overhead costs to determine the appropriate allocations. This is a critical accounting policy because it affects our net results of operations for that portion which is capitalized. In accordance with paragraph 7 of SFAS No. 67, we only capitalize direct and indirect project costs associated with the acquisition, development and construction of a real estate project. Indirect costs include allocated costs associated with certain pooled resources (such as office supplies, telephone and postage) which are used to support our development projects, as well as general and administrative functions. Allocations of pooled resources are based only on those employees directly responsible for development (i.e. project manager and subordinates). We charge to expense indirect costs that do not clearly relate to a real estate project such as salaries and allocated expenses related to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

We recognize sales commissions and management and development fees when earned, as lots or acreages are sold or when the services are performed.

Accounting for Income Taxes: We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of transactions and events. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. If necessary, deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to an amount that is determined to be more likely than not recoverable. We must make significant estimates and assumptions about future taxable income and future tax consequences when determining the amount of the valuation allowance. In addition, tax reserves are based on significant estimates and assumptions as to the relative filing positions and potential audit and litigation exposures related thereto. To the extent the Company establishes a valuation allowance or increases this allowance in a period, the impact will be included in the tax provision in the statement of operations.

(x) On August 7, 2009, the Company has entered into a Memorandum of Terms  in which it will provide an equity line in the amount up to $1,000,000 to Golden Water Agriculture, a  corporation to be formed in Israel (“Golden Water”).  Upon funding the equity line, the Company will receive shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Golden Water Preferred”) convertible into 30% of Golden Water, which assumes that the full $1,000,000 is funded.   The Company will be entitled to convert the Golden Water Preferred into the most senior class of shares of Golden Water at a 15% discount to any recent round of financing.  The Company shall be required to convert the Golden Water Preferred in the event of an initial public offering based on a valuation three times the valuation of the investment.  To date, no consideration has been exchanged between the Company and Golden Water. Golden Water has developed a process by which gaseous oxygen can be introduced into water at the molecular level and retained at a high concentration for a long period of time, as well as the ability to add gaseous elements including nitrogen, carbon dioxide and more. The parties that are forming Golden Water have filed for patents in the United States and Israel.

(xi) On January 20, 2009, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent (the "Letter of Intent") with Yasheng in connection with the development of a logistics centre. In addition, pursuant to the Letter of Intent, the Company granted Yasheng an irrevocable option to merge all or part of its assets into the Company (the "Yasheng Option"). In lieu of merging its assets into the Company, the Company and Yasheng entered into an additional Letter of Intent on June 12, 2009 whereby Yasheng agreed to use its best efforts to have the majority stockholders of Yasheng (the "Group Stockholders") enter and close an agreement with the Company whereby the Company would acquire approximately 55% of the issued and outstanding securities of Yasheng from the Group Stockholders in consideration of 300,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The June 12, 2009 letter of intent was approved by the Company's Board of Directors on August 12, 2009. The Company and Yasheng initially contemplated a closing date of July 15, 2009. As the execution of a definitive agreement and the closing did not occur by July 15, 2009, all parties are working to close such transaction upon satisfaction of all closing conditions.

(xii) Logistics Center - On August 12, 2009, the Company entered into a 45 day exclusivity period to finalize an "Option to Buy" on a lease agreement for a "big box" facility located in Southern, California (the "Facility"). The Facility consists of approximately 1,000,010 square feet industrial building located in Victorville, California and the lease is expected to commence November 1, 2009 and continue for a period of seven years, with two five-year extension periods The Company will advanced a $25,000 non-refundable deposit representing 10% of the required security deposit for the entire lease. The non-refundable deposit will allow the Company to exclusively negotiate the option to buy the Facility as all other terms of the lease have been agreed upon in principal. The Company is also pursuing certain tax and economic incentives associated with the establishment and development of the Yasheng Asia Pacific Cooperative Zone – its core business. These incentives include LAMBRA Enterprise Zone Sales and Use Tax Credit (7% of qualified capital equipment expenses), LAMBRA Enterprise Zone Hiring Credit (50% of qualified employees wages reducing 10% each year for 5 years), County of San Bernardino Economic Development Agency assistance in employee recruitment screening and qualification and filing for LAMBRA benefits (estimated value $8,000 per qualified employee). The entering of the lease by the Company is subject to the negotiation of the option to purchase the facility, drafting of a standard lease agreement, The closing of any of the above (i) to (xii) business opportunities by the Company will require the completion of definitive documentations and completion of due diligence by the Company.  Final closing is subject to approval of the final definitive agreements by the Boards of Directors of the Company.  There is no guarantee that the parties will reach final agreements or that the transactions will close on the terms set forth above
 
On August 4, 2009, the Company filed a Form 8-K Current Report with the Securities and Exchange Commission advising that Eric Qian Wang (“Wang”) was appointed as a director of the Company on August 3, 2009. Mr. Yang was nominated as a director at the suggestion of Yasheng which approved the filing of the initial Form 8-K. On August 5, 2009, Mr. Wang contacted the Company advising that he has not consented to such appointment. Accordingly, Mr. Wang has been nominated as a director of the Company but has not accepted such nomination and is not considered a director of the Company. Mr. Wang's nomination was subsequently withdrawn. Furthermore, although no longer relevant, Mr. Wang's work history as disclosed on the initial Form 8K was derived from a resume provided by Mr. Wang. Subsequent to the filing of the Form 8-K, Mr. Wang advised that the disclosure regarding his work history was inaccurate. As a result, the disclosure relating to Mr. Wang's work history should be completely disregarded. The Company believe that at the time that these willful, malicious, false and fraudulent representations were made by Wang to the company, Wang knew that the representations were false and that he never intended to be appointed to the board. The company informed and believe the delivery of the resumes, and the later demand for a retraction of the resumes, were part of a scheme (with others) to injure the business reputation of the company to otherwise damages its credibility such that the Company would have a lesser bargaining position in the finalization of the documents relating to the Yasheng transaction. As such the Company is preparing a complaint against Wang.

Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements 
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157–2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which provides a one year deferral of the effective date of SFAS 157 for non–financial assets and non–financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least annually. Therefore, effective January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 with respect to our financial assets and liabilities only. Since the Company has no investments available for sale, the adoption of this pronouncement has no material impact to the financial statements.

In December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (“SAB 110”). SAB 110 amends and replaces Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14, “Share-Based Payment,” of the Staff Accounting Bulletin series. Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14 expresses the views of the staff regarding the use of the “simplified” method in developing an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” share options and allows usage of the “simplified” method for share option grants prior to December 31, 2007. SAB 110 allows public companies which do not have historically sufficient experience to provide a reasonable estimate to continue to use the “simplified” method for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” share option grants after December 31, 2007. The Company will continue to use the “simplified” method until it has enough historical experience to provide a reasonable estimate of expected term in accordance with SAB 110.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 141-R, “Business Combinations.” SFAS 141-R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (referred to as the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. It also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141-R will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. While the Company has not yet evaluated the impact, if any, that SFAS 141-R will have on its consolidated financial statements, the Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after September 30, 2009.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.” This Statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, that SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement provides entities the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 159 and have chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”. This Statement is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  This Statement is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date—that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued.  This disclosure should alert all users of financial statements that an entity has not evaluated subsequent events after that date in the set of financial statements being presented. This Statement should not result in significant changes in the subsequent events that an entity reports—either through recognition or disclosure—in its financial statements.  This Statement introduces the concept of financial statements being available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This disclosure should alert all users of financial statements that an entity has not evaluated subsequent events after that date in the set of financial statements being presented.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
 
As a “Smaller Reporting Company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this item.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a, et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The term internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer’s board 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:

·
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;
   
·
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 of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and
   
·
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Our management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the registrant have been detected.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Evaluation of Disclosure and Controls and Procedures.   Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.  Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  The evaluation was undertaken in consultation with our accounting personnel.  Based on that evaluation and for the reasons set forth below, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are currently not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting of the Company. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
 
Management, with the participation of our principal executive officer, financial and accounting officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations . Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, management concluded that, as of June 30, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.   The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures is the result of certain deficiencies in internal controls that constitute material weaknesses as discussed below. The material weaknesses identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements or any other related financial disclosure, nor does management believe that it had any effect on the accuracy of the Company's financial statements for the current reporting period. We lack segregation of duties in the period-end financial reporting process.  The Company has historically had limited accounting and minimal operating revenue and, as such, all accounting and financial reporting operations have been and are currently performed by one individual.  The party that performs the accounting and financial reporting operations is the only individual with any significant knowledge of generally accepted accounting principles.  The person is also in charge of the general ledger (including the preparation of routine and non-routine journal entries and journal entries involving accounting estimates), the selection of accounting principles, and the preparation of interim and annual financial statements (including report combinations, consolidation entries and footnote disclosures) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  In addition, the lack of additional staff with significant knowledge of generally accepted accounting principles has resulted in ineffective oversight and monitoring.  The company intends to add accounting staff, subject to adequate financing, in order to assist in reducing its risk in these areas and plans to add additional personnel in accounting and internal auditing in the near future, which is subject to obtaining the required financing.

Changes in internal controls

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
