PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Organization, Charter Amendments And General History
Ever-Glory International Group, Inc. (the "Company") through its subsidiary, Goldenway Nanjing Garments Co., Ltd. (Goldenway), manufactures apparel for men, women and children for primarily middle to high-grade well-known casual wear, outerwear and sportswear brands and for a variety of companies. A majority of its products are exported to Japan, EU countries and the United States. The Companys customers include large retailers and well-known brands.
2
Ever-Glory is the result of the merger of Andean Development Corporation, a Florida corporation (Andean), and Perfect Dream Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (Perfect Dream). Andean was incorporated on October 19, 1994 in Delaware and was originally engaged in the business of providing engineering and project management services for energy and private works projects and selling, as agent, major electrical and mechanical equipment. Effective March 31, 2003, Andean sold all of its operating assets and substantially all of the liabilities of Andeans business to a related party. Thereafter, Andean had no operations. As of June 30, 2005, Andean had zero assets and liabilities of $57,000.
Perfect Dream was incorporated on July 1, 2004 in the British Virgin Islands. In December 2004, Perfect Dream acquired 100% of Goldenway. Goldenway is a limited liability company, which was established under the laws of the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") on December 31, 1993. Until December 1, 2004, Goldenway was a subsidiary of Jiangsu Ever-Glory International Enterprises Group Corporation ("Jiangsu"). On April 20, 2005, Perfect Dream changed Goldenways status to that of a wholly foreign owned enterprise and increased its registered capital from $2,512,106 to $20,000,000.
On July 29, 2005, Andean, Perfect Dream and each of the stockholders of Perfect Dream entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which the Perfect Dream shareholders received, in exchange for their shares of Perfect Dream, 7,673,325 shares of Andean (after giving effect to a one-for-thirty reverse split of the issued and outstanding shares of Andean). On November 17, 2005, Andean changed its name to "Ever-Glory International Group, Inc."
Business Operations
The Company, through its subsidiary Goldenway, is engaged in the manufacture and sale of apparel to well-known casual wear, outerwear and sportswear brands and retailers. The Company manufactures all of its products from one 10,000 square meter factory in the Nanjing Jiangning Economic and Technological Development Zone in Nanjing, China.
Products
The Company manufactures high and middle grade casual-wear, outerwear, and sportswear including the following products:
WOMEN'S CLOTHING. This product line includes coats, jackets, slacks, skirts, shirts, trousers, and jeans.
MEN'S SPORTSWEAR. This product line includes men's vests, jackets, pants, trousers, skiwear, coats and jeans.
CHILDRENS CLOTHING. This product line includes childrens coats, vests, down jackets, knitwear, pants and jeans.
Customers
Ever-Glory manufactures garments for a number of well-known retail chains and internationally famous brands, including ITOYOKADO, Debenhams, C&A, Next, Etam China, Fat Face, Eddie Bauer, Teijin, Mast, Best-Seller, Shinko, Matalan, ITOCHU, B.B. Dakota and Abercrombie & Fitch. The Company also has its own design capabilities and can provide its customers with a selection of unique and original designs that the customer may have manufactured for them.
In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, approximately 50% of the Companys revenues came from customers in EU countries, 31% from customers in Japan, 13% from customers in the United States, and 6% from customers in China. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, three customers represented approximately 22%, 19% and 13% of the Companys net sales, respectively. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, two customers each represented approximately 12% of the
3
Companys net sales. The Company has no long-term contracts with any of its customers. There can be no assurance that our customers will continue to place orders with us of the same magnitude as they have in the past, or at all. In addition, the apparel industry historically has been subject to substantial cyclical variation, with consumer spending for purchases of apparel and related goods tending to decline during recessionary periods. To the extent that these financial difficulties occur, there can be no assurance that our financial condition and results of operations would not be adversely affected.
Suppliers
The Company purchases raw materials directly from local fabric and accessory suppliers. The Company may also import specialty fabrics to meet specific customer requirements. The Company also purchases finished goods from other contract manufacturers. Two suppliers represented approximately 12% and 10%, respectively of the Companys raw materials purchases in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. One supplier represented approximately 17% of the Companys raw materials purchases in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The Company has not experienced difficulty in obtaining finished goods or raw materials essential to its business.
Sales and Marketing
The Company leverages the sales and marketing organization of Jiangsu, of which Goldenway was a subsidiary prior to its acquisition by the Company. Jiangsu has sales and marketing offices around the world, including in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany.
In addition, the Company attends and participates in trade shows around the world, including Europe, Japan, the U.S. and Chinas largest tradeshow, the Chinese Export Commodity Fair in Guangdong Province. The Companys marketing strategy is designed to attract customers with the strongest brands within the strongest markets. The company seeks to attract customers including Japan, the EU and the US. In addition, the company looks for customers with strong brand appeal and product lines that require that Companys high quality manufacturing and can support the Companys production capacity. Referrals from existing customers continue to be a strong source of new customers.
Production and Quality Control
The Company produces the majority of its products. The Company may, however, outsource manufacturing from time to time based upon factory capacity and customer demand. The Companys factory covers an area of 10,000 square meters and is equipped with state-of-the-art production equipment. The Companys factory is located in Nanjing. The Company is in the process of expanding its manufacturing facilities in the Nanjing Jiangning Economic and Technological Development Zone in Nanjing, China.
The Company is committed to designing and manufacturing high quality garments. Because the Company emphasizes fit, performance and quality of its apparel products, the Company places a high priority on quality control. The Company has implemented strict quality control and craft discipline systems. Prior to manufacturing in large quantities, the Company obtains the approval of its customers either through a direct visit to the factories or by shipping samples of its apparel products to its customers for inspection and comment. This ensures that the product meets specifications prior to shipping. In addition, employees of the Company periodically inspect the manufacturing process and quality of apparel products. The Companys factory is ISO 9000 certified.
Delivery and Transportation
The Company ships product directly to the customer. The Company has access to a variety of ground and air shipping companies and can typically deliver the product to the client within a few days. The merchandise is shipped from the production facility by truck to a port where it is consolidated and loaded on containerized vessels for ocean transport to the ultimate destination.
4
Competition
The garment manufacturing industry is highly competitive, particularly in China. The Company's competitors include garment manufacturers of all sizes, both within China and elsewhere in the world, many of which have greater financial and manufacturing resources than the Company. The Company has been in the garment manufacturing business since 1993 and believes that it has earned a reputation for producing high quality products efficiently and at competitive prices. The Company believes that it competes favorably with other companies based on the experience and know-how the Company has acquired since 1993 as well as the Companys state-of-the-art equipment, which enables it to produce high-quality garments at competitive prices.
Governmental Regulations/Quotas
Pursuant to the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement, effective January 1, 2005, the United States and other WTO member countries removed quotas from WTO members. However, as the removal of quotas resulted in an import surge from China, the U.S. took action in May 2005 and imposed safeguard quotas on seven categories of goods. Exports of each specified product category will continue to be admitted into the United States in the ordinary course until the restraint level for that category is reached, after which further exports will be embargoed and will not be cleared until after January 2006. Additionally, on June 10, 2005, in response to the surge of Chinese imports into the European Union (EU), the EU Commission signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with China in which ten categories of textiles and apparel will be subject to restraints and on November 8, 2005, the U.S. and China entered into a Memorandum of Understanding in which 21 categories of textiles and apparel are subject to restraints. Although certain of the Companys apparel products fall within the categories subject to the safeguards in the U.S. and the EU, which could adversely affect the Companys ability to export and sell these products, the imposition of quotas in 2005 did not have a material affect on the Companys net sales, although it did impact its gross margin. See Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation Results of Operations. The Company believes that it will be able to obtain sufficient quota allocation based on prior years quota allocation. In addition, the Company can bid for additional export quota allocation from the government for the U.S. and E.U. markets. On a longer term basis, the Company believes that its customer mix and its ability to adjust the types of apparel it manufactures will mitigate its exposure to such trade restrictions in the future.
Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that additional trade restrictions will not be imposed on the exports of the Companys products in the future. Such actions could result in increases in the cost of its products generally and may adversely affect the Companys results of operations.
Seasonality
We have typically experienced seasonal fluctuations in sales volume due to the seasonal fluctuations experienced by the majority of our customers. These seasonal fluctuations typically result in sales decreases in the first and second quarters and sales increases in the third and fourth quarters of each year.
Employees
The Company employs a staff of over 700 people. All of the Companys work force is non-union and the Company considers its relations with its employees to be satisfactory.
Compliance With Environmental Laws (Federal, State And Local)
Due to the nature of the Company's operations, the Company does not believe that compliance with environmental laws will have a material impact on the Company or its operations.
RISK FACTORS
Our business is subject to certain risks, and we want you to review these risks while you are evaluating our business and our historical results. Please keep in mind that any of the following risks discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report could materially and adversely affect us, our operating results, our financial condition and our projections and beliefs as to our future performance. As such, our results could differ materially from those projected in our forward-looking statements. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business.
5
Risks Relating to the Industry in Which We Compete
Our sales are influenced by general economic cycles.
Apparel is a cyclical industry that is dependent upon the overall level of consumer spending. Our customers anticipate and respond to adverse changes in economic conditions and uncertainty by reducing inventories and canceling orders. As a result, any substantial deterioration in general economic conditions, increases in energy costs or interest rates, acts of war, acts of nature or terrorist or political events that diminish consumer spending and confidence in any of the regions in which we compete, could reduce our sales and adversely affect our business and financial condition.
Intense competition in the worldwide apparel industry could reduce our sales and prices.
We face a variety of competitive challenges from other apparel manufacturers both in China and elsewhere. Some of these competitors have greater financial and marketing resources than we do and may be able to adapt to changes in consumer preferences or retail requirements more quickly, devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products or adopt more aggressive pricing policies than we can. As a result, we may not be able to compete successfully with them.
The success of our business depends upon our ability to offer innovative and upgraded products at attractive price points.
The worldwide apparel industry is characterized by constant product innovation due to changing consumer preferences and by the rapid replication of new products by competitors. As a result, our success depends in large part on our ability to continuously and rapidly respond to customer requirements for innovative and stylish products at a competitive pace, intensity, and price. Failure on our part to regularly and rapidly respond to customer requirements could adversely affect our ability to retain our existing customers or to acquire new customers which would limit our sales growth.
The worldwide apparel industry is subject to ongoing pricing pressure.
The apparel market is characterized by low barriers to entry for both suppliers and marketers, global sourcing through suppliers located throughout the world, trade liberalization, continuing movement of product sourcing to lower cost countries, ongoing emergence of new competitors with widely varying strategies and resources, and an increasing focus on apparel in the mass merchant channel of distribution. These factors contribute to ongoing pricing pressure throughout the supply chain. This pressure has and may continue to:
Any of these factors could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
Increases in the price of raw materials or their reduced availability could increase our cost of goods and decrease our profitability.
The prices we charge for our products are dependent in part on the market price for raw materials used to produce them. The price and availability of our raw materials may fluctuate substantially, depending on a variety of factors, including demand, crop yields, weather, supply conditions, transportation costs, government regulation, economic climates and other unpredictable factors. Any raw material price increases could increase our cost of goods and decrease our profitability unless we are able to pass higher prices on to our customers. Moreover, any decrease in the availability of our raw materials could impair our ability to meet our production requirements in a timely manner.
6
Risks Relating to Our Business
We depend on a group of key customers for a significant portion of our sales. A significant adverse change in a customer relationship or in a customers performance or financial position could harm our business and financial condition.
Net sales to our ten largest customers totaled approximately 81% and 74% of total net sales in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Our largest customer accounted for approximately 22% and 12% of net sales in 2005 and 2004. The garment manufacturing industry has experienced substantial consolidation in recent years, which has resulted in increased customer leverage over suppliers, greater exposure for suppliers to credit risk and an increased emphasis by customers on inventory management and productivity.
A decision by a major customer, whether motivated by competitive considerations, strategic shifts, financial requirements or difficulties, economic conditions or otherwise, to decrease its purchases from us or to change its manner of doing business with us, could adversely affect our business and financial condition. In addition, while we have long-standing customer relationships, we do not have long term contracts with any of our customers. As a result, purchases generally occur on an order-by-order basis, and the relationship, as well as particular orders, can generally be terminated by either party at any time.
We are subject to export quotas imposed by governments which could adversely affect our business.
Pursuant to the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement, effective January 1, 2005, the United States and other WTO member countries removed quotas from WTO members. In certain instances, the elimination of quotas affords the Company greater access to foreign markets; however, as the removal of quotas resulted in an import surge from China, the U.S. took action in May 2005 and imposed safeguard quotas on seven categories of goods. Exports of each specified product category will continue to be admitted into the United States in the ordinary course until the restraint level for that category is reached, after which further exports will be embargoed and will not be cleared until after January 2006. Additionally, on June 10, 2005, in response to the surge of Chinese imports into the European Union (EU), the EU Commission signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with China in which ten categories of textiles and apparel will be subject to restraints and on November 8, 2005, the U.S. and China entered into an MOU in which 21 categories of textiles and apparel will be subject to restraints. Certain of the Companys apparel products fall within the categories subject to the safeguards in the U.S. and the EU, which could adversely affect the Companys ability to export and sell these products. There can be no assurance that additional trade restrictions will not be imposed on the exports of the Companys products in the future. Such actions could result in increases in the cost of its products generally and may adversely affect the Companys results of operations. The Company continues to monitor the developments described above.
We must maintain sufficient development and manufacturing capacity to meet the needs of our customers
We must maintain sufficient development and manufacturing capacity in an environment characterized by continuing cost pressure and demands for product innovation and speed-to-market. We have made a deposit on 113,220 square meters of land in Nanjing Jiangning Economic and Technological Development Zone, which includes an existing manufacturing facility of 26,629 square meters. The Company expects to sign the purchase agreement and complete the purchase in 2006. However, the Company has been allowed to take possession of the property prior to consummation of the purchase. The Company expects the new manufacturing facility to be in production by late 2006 and will replace the Companys current manufacturing facility. If we are unable for any reason to consummate the purchase of this facility, our manufacturing capacity will be seriously adversely affected. In addition, the cost to bring this facility into full production may exceed our expectations, which would have an adverse affect on our results of operations and our liquidity.
7
In addition, garment design changes rapidly as a result of a number of factors, including changing fashion trends, changing consumer tastes, and new fabrics and design techniques. In order to meet customer demands and changing customer preferences, we have to continually update our manufacturing equipment and technology. If we are unable to acquire state-of-the-art equipment and technology, we may not be able to meet customer demands, which could result in loss of customers and sales, which would have an adverse affect on our results of operations and our liquidity.
The success of our business depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified employees.
We need talented and experienced personnel in a number of areas including our core business activities. An inability to retain and attract qualified personnel, especially our key executives, could harm our business. Turnover among our employees and senior management could have a material adverse effect on our ability to implement our strategies and on our results of operations.
We will be required to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Failure to timely comply with the requirements of Section 404 or any adverse results from such evaluation could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and have an adverse effect on the trading price of our debt securities.
We are not currently an accelerated filer as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Beginning with our Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 2007, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will require us to include an internal control report with our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. That report must include managements assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the fiscal year. This report must also include disclosure of any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that we have identified. Additionally, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to issue reports on managements assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and their evaluation of the operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our assessment requires us to make subjective judgments and our independent registered public accounting firm may not agree with our assessment.
Achieving compliance with Section 404 within the prescribed period may require us to incur significant costs and expend significant time and management resources. We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the work necessary for our management to issue its management report in a timely manner, or that we will be able to complete any work required for our management to be able to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is operating effectively. If we are not able to complete the assessment under Section 404 in a timely manner, we and our independent registered public accounting firm would be unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2007. As a result, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our debt securities. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm may not agree with our managements assessment or conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is operating effectively.
We must successfully maintain and/or upgrade our information technology systems.
We rely on various information technology systems to manage our operations and we regularly evaluate these systems against our current and expected requirements. We are currently implementing modifications and upgrades to our systems, including replacing legacy systems with successor systems, making changes to legacy systems and acquiring new systems with new functionality. There are inherent costs and risks associated with replacing and changing these systems, including significant capital expenditures and the risk of delays or difficulties in transitioning to new systems or of integrating new systems into our current systems. Any information technology system disruptions, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated, could have an adverse effect on our business and operations.
8
We may engage in future acquisitions and strategic investments that dilute the ownership percentage of our stockholders and require the use of cash, incur debt or assume contingent liabilities.
As part of our business strategy, we expect to continue to review opportunities to buy or invest in other businesses or technologies that we believe would enhance our manufacturing capabilities, or that may otherwise offer growth opportunities. If we buy or invest in other businesses in the future, we could: require the use of cash, incur debt or assume contingent liabilities.
As part of our business strategy, we expect to continue to review opportunities to buy or invest in other businesses or technologies that we believe would complement our current products, expand the breadth of our markets or enhance our technical capabilities, or that may otherwise offer growth opportunities. If we buy or invest in other businesses, products or technologies in the future, we could:
We may not realize the anticipated benefits of past or future acquisitions and strategic investments, and integration of acquisitions may disrupt our business and management.
We may in the future acquire or make strategic investments in additional companies. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of these or any other acquisitions or strategic investments, which involve numerous risks, including:
If we are not be able to successfully integrate businesses, products, technologies or personnel that we acquire, or to realize expected benefits of our acquisitions or strategic investments, our business and financial results may be adversely affected.
International political instability and concerns about other international crises may increase our cost of doing business and disrupt our business.
9
International political instability may halt or hinder our ability to do business and may increase our costs. Various events, including the occurrence or threat of terrorist attacks, increased national security measures in the United States and other countries, and military action and armed conflicts, can suddenly increase international tensions. Increases in energy prices will also impact our costs and could harm our operating results. In addition, concerns about other international crises, such as the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), avian influenza, or bird flu, and West Nile viruses, may have an adverse effect on the world economy and could adversely affect our business operations or the operations of our OEM partners, contract manufacturer and suppliers. This political instability and concerns about other international crises may, for example:
Furthermore, to the extent that air or sea transportation is delayed or disrupted, our operations may be disrupted, particularly if shipments of our products are delayed.
Business interruptions could adversely affect our business.
Our operations and the operations of our suppliers and customers are vulnerable to interruption by fire, earthquake, hurricanes, power loss, telecommunications failure and other events beyond our control. In the event of a major natural disaster, we could experience business interruptions, destruction of facilities and loss of life. In the event that a material business interruption occurs that affects us or our suppliers or customers, shipments could be delayed and our business and financial results could be harmed.
We expect to experience volatility in our stock price, which could negatively affect stockholders investments.
The market price for shares of the Companys common stock may be volatile and may fluctuate based upon a number of factors, including, without limitation, business performance, news announcements or changes in general market conditions.
Other factors, in addition to the those risks included in this section, that may have a significant impact on the market price of the Companys common stock include, but are not limited to:
receipt of substantial orders or order cancellations;
quality deficiencies in services or products;
In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. Due to changes in the volatility of the Companys common stock price, the Company may be the target of securities litigation in the future. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert managements attention and resources.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
Overview
Ever-Glory and its subsidiaries (the "Company") manufacture apparel for men, women and children for primarily middle to high-grade well-known casual wear, outerwear and sportswear brands and for a variety of companies. All of its products are exported to Japan, EU countries and the United States. The Companys customers include large retailers and well-known brands. The Company is the result of a merger of Andean Development Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Florida ("Andean"); and Perfect Dream Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of British Virgin Islands "Perfect Dream"). Andean was formed on October 19, 1994 and engaged in the business of providing engineering and project management services and electrical and mechanical equipment for energy and private works projects. As of June 30, 2005, Andean had zero assets and liabilities of $57,000. Perfect Dream was incorporated on July 1, 2004 in the British Virgin Islands. In January of 2005, Perfect Dream acquired 100% of Goldenway Nanjing Garments Co., Ltd ("Goldenway").
Goldenway is a limited liability company, which was incorporated in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") on December 31, 1993. Until December 2004, Goldenway was a subsidiary of Jiangsu. After its acquisition by Perfect Dream and effective as of April 20, 2005, Goldenway changed its status to that of a wholly foreign owned enterprise and increased its registered capital from $2,512,106 to $20,000,000. The increased registered capital will be paid-in in installments within three years of the issuance of Goldenway's updated business license. The first installment of $2,623,184 is due on December 31, 2005.
In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, approximately 50% of the Companys revenues came from customers in the EU, 31% from customers in Japan, 13% from customers in the United States and 6% from customers in China. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, three customers represented approximately 54% of the Companys sales. Management believes that the relationship with these customers is good.
The Company purchases the majority of its raw materials directly from numerous local fabric and accessories suppliers. The Company may also purchase finished goods from other contract manufacturers. Two suppliers represented approximately 22% of the Companys raw materials purchases in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The Company has not experienced difficulty in obtaining raw materials essential to its business and management believes that the relationship with its suppliers is good.

The Company currently operates one factory in the Nanjing Jiangning Economic and Technological Development Zone of mainland, China. The factory covers an area of 10,000 square meters and is equipped with highly advanced, state-of-the-art equipment. The Company has put a deposit on 113,220 square meters of land in Nanjing Jiangning Economic and Technological Development Zone, which includes an existing facility of 26,629 square meters, which includes manufacturing and office space. The Company expects to sign the purchase agreement and complete the purchase in 2006. However, the Company has been allowed to take possession of the property prior to consummation of the purchase. The Company expects the new manufacturing facility to be in production by late 2006, which will replace the Companys current manufacturing facility.
The factory employs a staff of over 700 people with an annual production capacity of over 1,000,000 pieces. All of the Companys work force is non-union, and the Company considers its relations with its employees to be satisfactory.
In 2005, export quotas on most categories of the Companys products were eliminated. In July 2005, the United States and the EU reinstituted export quotas on certain clothing categories. The Chinese government allocated a portion of the export quota to the Company based upon the amount of product that the Company exported in the prior year. Although certain of the Companys apparel products fall within the categories subject to the safeguards in the U.S. and the EU, the imposition of quotas in 2005 did not have a material affect on the Companys net sales, although it did impact its gross margin. See Results of Operations below. As a result of the Companys prior export performance, it was awarded a sufficient portion of the export quotas to enable it to increase its sales to customers in the EU and the U.S. despite the reinstitution of export quotas. In order to increase the Companys allocation of future export quotas, however, the Company accepted more orders for lower margin products, which had an adverse affect on the Companys gross margins. The Company believes that its customer mix and its ability to adjust the types of apparel it manufactures will mitigate its exposure to such trade restrictions in the future.
Under the laws of the PRC, as a wholly foreign owned enterprise, in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, Goldenway was entitled to a 50% reduction in its income tax rate, from 24% to 12%. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, Goldenway as a wholly foreign owned enterprise that exported over 70% of its products outside the PRC, is eligible for a 50% reduction in its tax rate from 24% to 12%.
The Company markets and sells its products through a combination of international distributors and direct sales primarily in Japan, Europe and the United States.
Our cost of net revenues consists of raw materials, garment finishing fees, direct labor and manufacturing overhead, including the Companys contributions to a government mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan, packing materials and others. In addition, from time to time we subcontract manufacturing, which costs are included in our cost of net revenues.
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions and related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing, sales and customer support functions, as well as costs associated with trade shows, promotional activities, transportation expenses and inspection expenses.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for executive, finance, accounting, facilities and human resources personnel, office expenses and professional fees.

Revenues, Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin
Revenues
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $10,813,961, an increase of 36% from $7,967,601 for 2004. Our increase in revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in sales to customers in the EU, the US and in Japan. In 2005, sales to customers in the EU increased by $0.92 million or 131%, sales to customers in the U.S. increased by approximately $3.0 million or 207% and sales to customers in Japan increased by approximately $1.65 million or 97% as compared to 2004.
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $8,712,565, an increase of 43% from $6,092,868 for 2004. The increase in cost of sales was mainly attributable to the increase in sales. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales increased to approximately 81% for 2005 from approximately 76% for 2004. Consequently, gross margin as a percentage of revenues decreased to approximately 19% for 2005 from approximately 24% for 2004. Of the 5% decrease in gross margins, approximately 3.7% is attributable to an increase in the acceptance of lower margin orders to increase the Companys allocation of future export quotas and approximately 1.3% was attributable to increases in labor costs, which could not entirely be passed on to the Companys customers.
Selling, and General and Administrative Expenses
Selling expenses in 2005 increased by 167% from $31,826 in 2004 to $85,108 in 2005. The increase in selling expenses was mainly attributable to an increase in transportation and logistic costs as well as an increase in inspection fees.
General and Administrative expenses in 2005 increased by 94% to $811,552 from $418,060 in 2004. While general and administrative expenses related to operations decreased by 36% from $418,060 in 2004 to $265,484 in 2005, general and administrative expenses associated with being a U.S. publicly traded company increased to $546,068 in 2005 from $0 in 2004.
Income before taxes in 2005 was $1,205,220, a decrease of $173,219 from $1,378,439 in 2004.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,467,245, other current assets of $712,472 and current liabilities of $2,286,240. To date, the Company has financed its operations primarily from operations and cash flow from operations is expected to continue to be the Company's primary source of funds to finance its short-term cash needs.
Net cash provided by operating activities for 2005 was $3.2 million, compared with $3.8 million in 2004. The Companys primary source of operating cash flow was net income of $1.0 million. Additional cash was provided from the repayment of advances made to a related party of $2.2 million. The decrease in our net cash was attributable to a decrease in our accounts payable, particularly for raw materials, as compared to the year of 2004.
14
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $2.5 million in 2005, compared with $2.4 million in 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to construction costs of approximately $2.25 million associated with our new office building and factory, and the purchase of new manufacturing equipment of approximately $250,000.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $611,247 in 2005, compared with cash used in financing activities of $1.3 million in 2004. On August 23, 2005, we entered into a short-term loan agreement with a bank pursuant to which we borrowed approximately $610,000 at an interest rate of 6.138% per annum. The loan matures on August 23, 2006. The funds were used for the purchase of raw materials. The loan may be extended for an additional year. The borrowings were guaranteed by Jiangsu Ever-Glory Group, a related company.
Capital Commitments
The Company has a continuing program for the purpose of improving its manufacturing quality. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had commitments for capital projects in progress of approximately $1.5 million. The Company anticipates that cash flows from operations will be used to pay for these capital commitments. Pursuant to the Articles of Association of Goldenway, registered capital of approximately $17.5 million must be paid into Goldenway by February 1, 2008. The increased registered capital will be paid-in in installments within three years of the issuance of Goldenway's updated business license. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has paid $2.6 million of its registered capital requirements. The remaining $14.9 million is due on February 1, 2008.
The Company has put a deposit on 113,220 square meters of land in Nanjing Jiangning Economic and Technological Development Zone, which includes an existing manufacturing facility of 26,629 square meters The Company expects to sign the purchase agreement and complete the purchase in 2006. However, the Company has been allowed to take possession of the property prior to consummation of the purchase. The Company expects the new manufacturing facility to be in production by late 2006, which will replace the Companys current manufacturing facility. The Company expects to invest approximately $3.5 million in 2006 for improvements to this new facility, which the Companys expects to fund from cash from operations.
Uses of Liquidity
The Company's cash requirements through the end of fiscal 2006 are primarily to fund operations and to complete the new manufacturing facility in Nanjing. The Company plans to acquire additional manufacturing capacity in the future to strengthen and stabilize its manufacturing base. The Company is also looking to establish its own distribution and logistics channels in overseas markets and to launch its own brand directly to the Chinese market. In addition, the Company will need to make the required capital contributions to its subsidiary, Goldenway.
Sources of Liquidity
The Companys primary source of liquidity for its short-term cash needs is expected to be cash flow generated from operations, and cash and cash equivalents currently on hand. The Company believes that will be able to borrow additional funds if needed.
The Company believes its cash flow from operations together with its cash and cash equivalents currently on hand will be sufficient to meet its working capital, capital expenditure and other commitments through December 2006. For its long-term cash needs, the Company is currently considering a number of different financing opportunities including debt and equity financing. Adequate funds may not be available on terms acceptable to it. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, dilution to existing stockholders may result. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, the Company may be unable to develop or enhance its products or services, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
15
As of December 31, 2005 the Company had outstanding borrowings under a credit facility with a bank of approximately $610,000. As of December 31, 2005, the Company did not have any standby letters of credit or standby repurchase obligations.
Foreign Currency Translation Risk.
The Company's major operations are in the PRC, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility of foreign exchange rates between the United States dollar and the Chinese Renminbi. Sales of the Company's products are in dollars. During 2003 and 2004 the exchange rate of RMB to the dollar remained constant at 8.26 RMB to the dollar. On July 21, 2005, the Chinese government adjusted the exchange rate from 8.26 to 8.09 RMB to the dollar. As a result, orders received prior to the adjustment were at prices based on the prior exchange rate, which negatively impacted our gross margins for the year ended December 31, 2005. We now negotiate price adjustments with most of our customers, which we believe will reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations in the future. However, if in the future the Chinese government should decide to adjust the RMB to dollar exchange rate unexpectedly, our gross margins and results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.
In addition, the financial statements of Goldenway (whose functional currency is the RMB) are translated into US dollars using the closing rate method. The balance sheet items are translated into US dollars using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. All exchange differences are recorded within equity. The foreign currency translation gain for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $5,621 and $0, respectively.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We have identified critical accounting policies that, as a result of judgments, uncertainties, uniqueness and complexities of the underlying accounting standards and operation involved, could result in material changes to our financial position or results of operations under different conditions or using different assumptions. The most critical accounting policies and estimates are:
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in 2005 and 2004 include the allowance for the useful life of property and equipment.
Inventories, consisting of raw materials and finished goods related to the Company's products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the first-in, first-out method.
Fair value of financial instruments, our financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reflected in the financial instruments. The fair value of financial instruments approximate their recorded values.
We recognize revenue upon delivery to our customers for local sales and upon shipment of the products for export sales, at which time title passes to the customer.
Details regarding our use of these policies and the related estimates are described in the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2005 and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. During the year ended December 31, 2005, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies that impacted our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our investors.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation ("FIN") No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (VIE)," (revised December 2003 by FIN No. 46R), which addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity through means other than voting rights and accordingly should consolidate the entity. For variable interests in VIEs created before January 1, 2004, the Interpretation will be applied beginning on January 1, 2005. For any VIEs that must be consolidated under FIN No. 46R that were created before January 1, 2004, the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests of the VIE initially would be measured at their carrying amounts with any difference between the net amount added to the balance sheet and any previously recognized interest being recognized as the cumulative effect of an accounting change. If determining the carrying amounts is not practicable, fair value at the date FIN No. 46R first applies may be used to measure the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interest of the VIE. The adoption of FIN No. 46R did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows as the Company does not have any VIEs.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), a revision to SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), and superseding APB Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and its related implementation guidance. SFAS 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, including obtaining employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS 123R applies to all awards granted after the required effective date and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date. Adoption of the provisions of SFAS 123R is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement will have any material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs -- an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4"(SFAS 151) This statement clarifies the criteria of "abnormal amounts" of freight, handling costs, and spoilage that are required to be expensed as current period charges rather than deferred in inventory. In addition, this statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS 151 is effective for the Company July 1, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement will have any material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 152, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions. This Statement also amends FASB Statement No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement will have any material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS no. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. This Statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets. It eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets in paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. This Statement specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement will have any material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
17
SFAS No. 154 (SFAS 154), Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, was issued in May 2005 and replaces APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3 (SFAS 3). SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application for voluntary changes in accounting principle in most instances and is required to be applied to all accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Companys expected January 1, 2006 adoption of SFAS No. 154 is not expected to have any material impact on its results or financial position.

ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of December 31, 2005, the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
On November 21, 2005, a Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, which purported to contain the Companys financial results for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2005 was filed with the SEC. This report was filed with neither the approval of the Company nor with the prior review of its auditors and contained numerous errors and omissions. The Company filed an amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB with the SEC on December 5, 2005 to correct these errors. In addition, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2005 did not discuss the Companys outstanding borrowings in Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources Sources of Liquidity, although the Company's balance sheet and cash flow statement correctly reported an outstanding note payable to a bank which was consummated in August 2005.
In light of the matters discussed above, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The Company has taken steps to improve and strengthen its disclosure controls and procedures, including hiring new legal counsel, and implementing new policies and procedures in an effort to correct these deficiencies.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of:
Ever-Glory International Group, Inc. and subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ever-Glory International Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits of the financial statements provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ever-Glory International Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 (restated), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 14, the Company restated its statements of cash flows in financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004.

AND SUBSIDIARIES
1. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION | ||
(A) | Organization | ||
Ever-Glory International Group, Inc. (EGLY) (previously Andean Development Corporation) was incorporated in Florida on October 19, 1994. | |||
Perfect Dream Limited (Perfect Dream) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on July 1, 2004. Goldenway Nanjing Garments Company Limited (Goldenway), a Peoples Republic of China (PRC) limited liability company was incorporated on December 31, 1993. Goldenway is principally engaged in the manufacturing and sale of garments. | |||
During 2004, Perfect Dream acquired 100% of Goldenway for cash in the amount of $1,338,404. The transaction was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control as the companies were beneficially owned by principally identical stockholders and shared common management. | |||
On July 29, 2005, EGLY entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with the stockholders of Perfect Dream whereby the stockholders of Perfect Dream exchanged 100% of their shares of Perfect Dream for 7,673,325 shares of restricted common stock of EGLY. | |||
On completion of the reorganization, the merger of EGLY and Perfect Dream was treated for accounting purposes as a capital transaction and recapitalization by Perfect Dream (the accounting acquirer) and reorganization by EGLY (the accounting acquiree). The financial statements have been prepared as if the reorganization had occurred retroactively. | |||
Accordingly, the financial statements include the following: | |||
(1) | The balance sheet consists of the net assets of the acquirer at historical cost and the net assets of the acquiree at historical cost. | ||
(2) | The statement of operations includes the operations of the acquirer for the periods presented and the operations of the acquiree from the date of the merger. | ||
EGLY, Perfect Dream and Goldenway are hereinafter referred to as (the Company). | |||
On November 17, 2005, the Company filed an Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Ever-Glory International Group, Inc. | |||
(B) | Use of estimates | ||
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||
(C) | Principles of consolidation | ||
The accompanying 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EGLY and its 100% owned subsidiaries Perfect Dream and Goldenway. | |||
All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. | |||
(D) | Cash and cash equivalents | ||
For purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits with a bank with maturities of less than three months. | |||

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004
1. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED) | |
(E) | Accounts receivable | |
The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and recorded based on managements assessment of the credit history with the customer and current relationships with them. | ||
As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company considers all its accounts receivable to be collectable and no provision for doubtful accounts has been made in the financial statements. | ||
(F) | Inventories | |
Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market value, cost being determined on a first-in, first-out method. The Company provided inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand. | ||
(G) | Property and equipment | |
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for additions, major renewals and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. | ||
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis, less an estimated residual value over the assets estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows: | ||
Factory buildings | 15 Years | |
Leasehold improvements | 10 Years | |
Plant and machinery | 10 Years | |
Furniture and fixtures | 5 Years | |
Office equipment | 5 Years | |
Motor vehicles | 5 Years |
(H) | Fair value of financial instruments | |
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are reflected in the financial statements at fair value because of the short-term maturity of the instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values. | ||
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (trade and others), accounts payable (trade and related party) and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with what it believes to be high credit quality financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base, most of which are in Europe, Japan, the United States and the PRC. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limit and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited. | ||
The Companys major operation is in the PRC, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility of foreign exchange rates between the United States dollars (US$) and the Chinese Renminbi (RMB). On July 21, 2005, the PRC let the RMB fluctuate thereby ending its decade-old valuation peg to the US$. The new RMB rate reflects an approximately 2% increase in value against the US$. Historically, the PRC government has benchmarked the RMB exchange ratio against the US$, thereby mitigating the associated foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation risk. The Company does not believe that its foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation risk is significant, especially if the PRC government continues to benchmark the RMB against the US$. | ||

1. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED) | |
(I) | Revenue and cost recognition | |
The Company recognizes revenue upon delivery for local sales and upon shipment of the products for export sales, at which time title passes to the customer provided that: there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance; persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the sales price is fixed and determinable; and collectibility is deemed probable. | ||
Local transportation and unloading charges are included in selling expenses. | ||
Cost of goods sold includes the appropriate materials purchasing, receiving and inspection costs, inbound freight where applicable, direct labor cost and manufacturing overheads consistent with the revenue earned. | ||
(J) | Income taxes | |
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (Statement 109). Under Statement 109, 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. 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. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. | ||
PRC income tax is computed according to the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC. The Company is entitled to full exemption from income tax for two years beginning from the first year the Company becomes profitable and a 50% income tax reduction for the subsequent three years. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company was entitled to a 50% reduction in its income tax rate. The Company became subject to the full income tax rate of 24% for the year ended December 31, 2005. However, in 2005 the Company is also entitled to a reduction in its tax rate of 50% for achieving export sales in excess of 70% of its total sales. | ||
(K) | Foreign currency transactions | |
EGLY, Perfect Dream and Goldenway maintain their accounting records in their functional currencies of US$, US$ and RMB respectively. | ||
Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated to the functional currency at the approximate rates of exchange on the dates of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the approximate rates of exchange at that date. No-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the time the asset or liability was acquired. Exchange gains or losses are recorded in the statement of operations. | ||
(L) | Foreign currency translation | |
The financial statements of Goldenway (whose functional currency is the RMB) are translated into US$ using the closing rate method. The balance sheet items are translated into US$ using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. All exchange differences are recorded within equity. Translation gain for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $5,621 and $Nil respectively. | ||
(M) | Comprehensive income (loss) | |
The foreign currency translation gain or loss resulting from translation of the financial statements expressed in RMB to United States Dollars is reported as other comprehensive income (loss) in the statements of operations and stockholders equity. Comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $5,621 and $Nil respectively. | ||

(N) | Income per share | |
Basic income per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. | ||
(O) | Segments | |
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131). SFAS establishes standards for operating information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. SFAS 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed herein, materially represents all of the financial information related to the Companys principal operating segments. The Company operates in a single segment. | ||
(P) | Recent accounting pronouncements | |
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation ("FIN") No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (VIE)," (revised December 2003 by FIN No. 46R), which addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity through means other than voting rights and accordingly should consolidate the entity. For variable interests in VIEs created before January 1, 2004, the Interpretation will be applied beginning on January 1, 2005. For any VIEs that must be consolidated under FIN No. 46R that were created before January 1, 2004, the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests of the VIE initially would be measured at their carrying amounts with any difference between the net amount added to the balance sheet and any previously recognized interest being recognized as the cumulative effect of an accounting change. If determining the carrying amounts is not practicable, fair value at the date FIN No. 46R first applies may be used to measure the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interest of the VIE. The adoption of FIN No. 46R did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows as the Company does not have any VIEs. | ||
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), a revision to SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), and superseding APB Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and its related implementation guidance. SFAS 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, including obtaining employee services in share- based payment transactions. SFAS 123R applies to all awards granted after the required effective date and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date. Adoption of the provisions of SFAS 123R is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement will have any material impact on its results of operations or financial position. | ||
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs -- an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4"(SFAS 151) This statement clarifies the criteria of "abnormal amounts" of freight, handling costs, and spoilage that are required to be expensed as current period charges rather than deferred in inventory. In addition, this statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS 151 is effective for the Company July 1, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement will have any material impact on its results of operations or financial position. | ||
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 152, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions. This Statement also | ||
F-9
(P) Recent accounting pronouncements (continued) | ||
amends FASB Statement No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement will have any material impact on its results of operations or financial position. | ||
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS no. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. This Statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets. It eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets in paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. This Statement specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement will have any material impact on its results of operations or financial position. | ||
SFAS No. 154 (SFAS 154), Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, was issued in May 2005 and replaces APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3 (SFAS 3). SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application for voluntary changes in accounting principle in most instances and is required to be applied to all accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Companys expected January 1, 2006 adoption of SFAS No. 154 is not expected to have any material impact on its results or financial position. |

(B) | Series A Convertible Preferred stock | |
On October 26, 2005, the Company authorized 10,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. | ||
On November 21, 2005, stockholders of 7,883,551 shares of common stock exchanged their restricted common shares for 7,883 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. | ||
Each share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had upon issuance the same voting, dividend and liquidation rights as 1,000 shares of common stock and will convert back into common stock at such time as the Company is able to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock. Effective November 8, 2005, the Company effected a 7.6-for-1 forward stock split on the remaining outstanding 2,627,861 shares, which increased the number of outstanding shares to 19,971,743 shares. Under the adjustment provisions of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the conversion, voting, dividend and liquidation ratios of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were all increased by the forward stock split from 1,000 for one to 7,600 for one (a total of 59,914,988 shares of common stock fully converted). The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be converted back into common stock at such time as the number of shares of authorized common stock is increased to 500,000,000 or more via a proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation. The relative voting and equity ownership of the Companys stockholders was unchanged by the exchange for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the forward stock split. If all the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were converted as of December 31, 2005, there would be 79,886,746 outstanding shares of common stock. | ||

ARTICLE SIX
The total number of shares of capital stock which the corporation has authority to issue is 105,000,000 shares of capital stock, 100,000,000 shares of common stock par value $0.0001 and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, the rights and preference of which shall be determined solely by the members of the Board of Directors of the corporation.
Section 1. Creation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. There is hereby created a series of preferred stock consisting of 10,000 shares and designated as the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, having the voting powers, preferences, relative, participating, optional and other special rights and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof that are set forth below. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may be issued in fractions of less than 1 whole share.
Section 2. Dividend Provisions. The holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of any funds at the time legally available therefor, dividends at the same time and on a parity with holders of common stock, as if on the date immediately prior to the record date for such dividend, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted into common stock at the Conversion Rate. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall rank on parity with each other share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to dividends.
Section 3. Redemption Provisions. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is not redeemable.
Section 4. Liquidation Provisions. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount at the same time and on a parity with holders of common stock, as if on the date immediately prior to the record date for such dividend, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted into common stock at the Conversion Rate. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall rank on parity with each other share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to dividends. A reorganization or any other consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, or any other sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 4, and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled only to (i) the right provided in any agreement of plan governing the reorganization or other consolidation, merger or sale of assets transaction, (ii) the rights contained in the Delaware Corporation Law and (iii) the rights contained in other Sections hereof.
Section 5. Conversion Provisions. The holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion Rights"):
(a) Right to Convert. | |
(1) Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares") shall be automatically converted on the Conversion Date into a number of shares of common stock of the Company at the initial conversion rate (the "Conversion Rate") defined below: | |
The initial Conversion Rate, subject to the adjustments described below, shall be one thousand (1,000) of shares of common stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock. | |
Such conversion shall be effectuated by surrendering the Preferred Shares to be converted (with a copy, by facsimile or courier, to the Company) to the Company's registrar and transfer agent, Holladay Stock Transfer Company, 2939 N 67th Place, Scottsdale, AZ 85251 ("Transfer Agent"). The date on which conversion shall be deemed effected (the "Conversion Date") shall be the date on which the Company's Articles of Amendment are filed with the Florida Department of State increasing the number of authorized common shares to no less than 500,000,000 shares. | |
(b) Adjustments to Conversion Rate. | |
(1) Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If the common stock issuable on conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall, upon its conversion, be entitled to receive, in lieu of the common stock which the holders would have become entitled to receive but for such change, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock that would have been subject to receipt by the holders if they had exercised their rights of conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock immediately before that change. By way of illustration and not by limitation, the Corporation's currently proposed 7.6 for I forward stock split shall cause an adjustment required by this Section 5(b)(1) such that the Conversion Rate shall be increased from 1,000 to 7,600. | |
(2) Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations or Sale of Assets. If at any time there shall be a capital reorganization of the Corporation's common stock (other than a subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section (b) or merger of the Corporation into another corporation, or | |
the sale of the Corporation's properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person), then, as a part of such reorganization, merger or sale, lawful provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation, or of the successor corporation resulting from such merger, to which holders of the common stock deliverable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would have been entitled on such capital reorganization, merger or sale if the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted immediately before that capital reorganization, merger or sale to the end that the provisions of this paragraph (b)(3) (including adjustment of the Conversion Rate then in effect and number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalently as may be practicable. | |
(c) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, merger, dissolution, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provision of this Section 6 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock against impairment. | |
(d) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Rate for any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock effected thereby a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Rate at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of common stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of such holder's shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. | |
(e) Notices of Record Date. In the event of the establishment by the Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock at least twenty (20) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and the amount and character of such dividend or distribution. | |
(f) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of common stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock such number of its shares of common stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of common stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose. | |
(g) Notices. Any notices required by the provisions of this Paragraph (e) to be given to the holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at its address appearing on the books of the Corporation. | |
Section 6. Voting Provisions. In addition to such rights as are expressly provided or required by law, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall vote as a class with the Common Stock. The holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will have such number of voting rights per share as if such holder had converted its shares into Common Stock and the Conversion Rate in effect on the record date for the shareholder meeting or consent action. |
