EXPLANATORY
PARAGRAPH
China
Logistics Group, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) is filing this
Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period
ended March 31, 2008 as filed on May 20, 2008 to correct the accounting
treatment previously accorded certain transactions and to restate our
consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and our
consolidated statement of operations, consolidated statements of stockholders'
deficit and consolidated statements of cash flows for the three month periods
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. As described in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K/A, Amendment No. 2, as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on December 24, 2008, we restated our financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 2007 to:
• account
for our acquisition of a 51% interest in Shandong Jiajia International Freight
and Forwarding Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Jiajia”) as a capital transaction,
implemented through a reverse acquisition, with Shandong Jiajia being recognized
as the accounting acquirer and our company being recognized as the accounting
acquiree ,
• eliminate
intangibles which were previously recognized upon the acquisition of Shandong
Jiajia because we determined that we did not meet the definition of a business
under the guidance of EITF Issue 98-3 prior to our acquisition of a 51% interest
in Shandong Jiajia on December 31, 2007 but were a public shell company as of
the transaction date,
• correct
the improper classification as expenses of certain costs related to the
acquisition of a 51% interest in Shandong Jiajia totaling $10,418,000, with the
fair value of these items previously recorded in the statements of operations as
fair value of equity instruments,
• restate
the commitment date and the accounting and valuation methodology related to a
convertible note payable to David Aubel, a principal shareholder of our company,
and
• retroactively
reflect the one for 40 (1:40) reverse stock split of our common stock which was
effective on March 11, 2008.
As a
result of these corrections to our financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2007, we are filing this Amendment No. 1 to our Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended March 31, 2008 to reflect the application of reverse
accounting to our historical financial statements and the additional changes to
our financial statements necessitated by these restatements. The
historical records presented in the financial statements included the
consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows
of Shandong Jiajia.
The
items of this Form 10-Q/A Amendment No. 1 which are amended and restated as a
result of the foregoing are:
• Part
I. Financial Information
• Item
1. Financial Statements, including consolidated balance sheets,
consolidated statement of operations, consolidated cash flows, and Notes to
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as the inclusion of a
consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit,
• Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, and
• Item
4(T). Controls and Procedures.
This Form 10-Q/A also contains
currently dated certifications as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2 and 32.1. The
remaining Items in this Form 10-Q/A consist of all other Items originally
contained in our Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2008. This
filing supersedes in its entirety our original Form 10-Q for the period ended
March 31, 2008.

CHINA
LOGISTICS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH
31, 2008
NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION
China
Logistics Group, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) is a Florida
corporation and was incorporated on March 19, 1999 under the name of
ValuSALES.com, Inc. The Company changed its name to Video Without Boundaries,
Inc. on November 16, 2001. On August 31, 2006 the Company changed our
name from Video Without Boundaries, Inc. to MediaREADY, Inc. and on
February 14, 2008, the Company changed its name from MediaREADY, Inc. to
China Logistics Group, Inc.
On
December 31, 2007 the Company entered into an acquisition agreement to
acquire a 51% interest in Shandong Jiajia International Freight & Forwarding
Co., Ltd (“Shandong Jiajia”), a Chinese limited liability
company. Prior to the acquisition of a 51% interest in Shandong
Jiajia, the Company was unable to successfully penetrate the market for the
production and distribution of interactive consumer electronics equipment that
provided streaming digital media and video on demand (VOD)
services.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements including the audited balance
sheet at December 31, 2007, the consolidated statement of
operations, statement of stockholders’ equity (deficit) and statements of
cash flows have been restated to account for the acquisition of a 51% interest
in Shandong Jiajia as a capital transaction, implemented through a reverse
acquisition. Accordingly, the historical cost basis of the assets and
liabilities of Shandong Jiajia have been carried forward and the historical
information for 2007 presented, including the consolidated statements of
operations, statement of stockholders’ equity (deficit) and statements of cash
flows, are those of Shandong Jiajia.
Shandong
Jiajia, formed in 1999 as a Chinese limited liability company, is an
international freight forwarder and logistics management company. Shandong
Jiajia, acts as an agent for international freight and shipping companies.
Shandong Jiajia sells cargo space and arranges land, maritime, and air
international transportation for clients seeking to import or export merchandise
from or into China. Headquartered in Qingdao, Shandong Jiajia has
branches in Shanghai, Xiamen and TianJin with two additional offices in
Lianyungang and Rizhao. Shandong Jiajia is a designated agent of cargo carriers
including Nippon Yusen Kaisha, P&O Nedlloyd, CMA CGM Group, Safmarine
Container Lines, and Regional Container Lines.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company
and its 51% owned subsidiary, Shandong Jiajia. Intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation. All share and per
share information contained in this report gives retroactive effect to the 1 for
40 reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock effective at
the close of business on March 11, 2008.
NOTE
2- RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
balance sheet and statement of stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the year
ended December 31, 2007 and financial statements for the quarter ended March 31,
2008 have been restated to correct the accounting treatment previously accorded
certain transactions.
On May
19, 2008 the Company amended its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1)
for the year ended December 31, 2007. On May 14, 2008, the Company’s
management concluded that the consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2007, as initially filed on April 15, 2008, could no longer
be relied upon due to an error in these financial statements. On May
19, 2008, we restated our December 31, 2007 financial statements to recognize
the fair value of 450,000 shares of Series B preferred stock totaling $3,780,000
which we were obligated to issue as partial compensation for consulting services
rendered to us in connection with the acquisition of a 51% interest in Shandong
Jiajia which was effective on December 31, 2007.
The
accounting recognition given these fees in the initial amendment to the
Company's Form 10-K/A, filed on May 19, 2007, was subsequently further amended
to recognize these fees as a direct cost of the transaction with Shandong
Jiajia, within the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No.141, Business Combinations, rather than an expense item as
initially recorded.
On
October 13, 2008 the Company’s management concluded that the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, as amended, and
quarterly periods ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008 could no longer be
relied upon due to errors in these financial statements including related
disclosures.
CHINA
LOGISTICS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
MARCH
31, 2008
The
March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 financial statements included in the
Company’s Form 10-Q filed on May 20, 2008, Form 10-K filed on April 15, 2008 and
the Form 10-K/A filed on May 19, 2008 incorrectly accounted for the Company’s
acquisition of a 51% interest in Shandong Jiajia using the purchase method of
accounting. The consolidated financial statements included in these
reports have been restated to account for the transaction as a capital
transaction, implemented through a reverse acquisition, with Shandong Jiajia
being recognized as the accounting acquirer and the Company being recognized as
the accounting acquiree. Accordingly, the cost basis of the assets
and liabilities of Shandong Jiajia were maintained in the consolidated financial
statements and the assets and liabilities of the Company then named MediaReady,
Inc. prior to the transaction, are accounted for under the purchase
method. The historical records presented in the consolidated
financial statements for 2007 included in this report including the consolidated
statements of operations, and statements of cash flows are those of
Shandong Jiajia.
Upon
further review, the Company also determined that we did not meet the definition
of a business under the guidance of EITF Issue 98-3 prior to the Company’s
acquisition of a 51% interest in Shandong Jiajia on December 31, 2007 but was a
public shell company as of the transaction date. Under these
guidelines, no goodwill or other intangibles were recognized in the
transaction. Further, as the transaction for accounting purposes was
considered the merger of a private operating company into a public shell
company, the transaction was viewed and treated as a capital transaction rather
than a business combination.
For
all periods presented, the Company has restated the commitment date and the
accounting and valuation methodology related to a convertible note payable to
David Aubel, a principal shareholder of the Company. The calculations
and disclosures related to this convertible note were restated to recognize, on
a fair value basis, the intrinsic value of shares issued by us to Mr. Aubel as
repayment of the note. The restatement treats the intrinsic value
recognized by us as a receivable from Mr. Aubel due to uncertainty as to the
validity of the amount of the note payable and the potential for a lack of
consideration for the issuance of such shares. The receivable
recorded was subsequently expensed as impaired.
On
March 11, 2008, the Company changed its name from MediaReady, Inc. to China
Logistics Group, Inc. and effectuated a 1 for 40 reverse split of its common
stock. As the reverse stock split took place after December 31, 2007
but before the filing of the Company’s December 31, 2007 consolidated
financial statements, the Company should have reflected the reverse stock split
retroactively in the balance sheets and related disclosures presented as
provided in the Interpretation Guidance of Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic
4:C. We have restated the balance sheets presented and share and per
share related disclosures to give retroactive effect to the 1 for 40 reverse
stock split.
NOTE
3 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. The
financial information as of December 31, 2007 is derived from the
registrant’s Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 2), for the year ended
December 31, 2007. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
The
presentation of the 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 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. In the opinion of management, the
accompanying financial statements include all adjustments necessary (which are
of a normal and recurring nature) for the fair presentation of the results of
the interim periods presented. While the registrant believes that the
disclosures presented are adequate to keep the information from being
misleading, it is suggested that these accompanying financial statements be read
in conjunction with the registrant’s audited financial statements and notes for
the year ended December 31, 2007, included in the registrant’s
Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 2), for the year then ended.
Operating
results for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2008.
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its 51% owned subsidiary. Inter-company transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
All
share and per share information contained in this report gives retroactive
effect for a 1 for 40 reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock which
become effective in March 11, 2008.
Shandong
Jiajia maintains its records and prepares its financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in China. Certain adjustments and
reclassifications have been incorporated in the accompanying financial
statements to conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
Revenue
Recognition
We
provide freight forwarding services generally under contract with our
customers. Our business model involves placing our customers’ freight
on prearranged contracted transport.
We
follow the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 104 in our revenue recognition policy. In general, we
record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have
been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer
is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably
assured.
Typically
our recognition of revenue is determined by our shipment/payment terms as
follows:
|
•
|
When
merchandise departs the shipper’s location when the trade pricing terms
are CIF (cost, insurance and freight),
|
|
•
|
When
merchandise departs the shipper’s location when the trade pricing terms
are CFR (cost and freight), or
|
|
•
|
When
the merchandise arrives at the destination port if the trade pricing terms
are FOB (free on board)
destination.”
|
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions, including estimates of the allowance for doubtful
accounts and stock based compensation that affect the reported amount of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying values of these
instruments approximate their fair value.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk
consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash
with high quality financial institutions in the United States and China. As of
March 31, 2008, bank deposits in the United States did not exceed federally
insured limits. At March 31, 2008, the Company had deposits of $1,263,190
in banks in China. In China, there is no equivalent federal deposit insurance as
in the United States; as such these amounts held in banks in China are not
insured. The Company has not experienced any losses in such bank accounts
through March 31, 2008.
Accounts
Receivable
The
Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated
uncollectible portion of accounts receivable. This estimate is based on the
historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade
receivables. As of March 31, 2008, management estimated a 100% allowance
for all accounts receivable over two years old. The allowance for doubtful
accounts totaled $454,974 and $794,715 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectfully.
Earnings
Per Share
Basic
per share results for all periods presented were computed based on the net
(loss) for the respective periods. The weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period was used in the calculation of basic earnings per
share. Common stock warrants, stock options, and notes convertible to common
stock were not included in computing diluted earnings per share because their
effects were antidilutive. At March 31, 2008 the Company had stock options
and common stock warrants outstanding to purchase 2,000,000 and 31,676,000
shares of common stock, respectively.
Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets represent the excess of cost over the fair value of the net tangible
assets of the Company acquired at the date of acquisition. In accordance with
SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, intangible assets are
amortized over their useful lives.
Stock
Based Compensation
The
Company authorized the issuance of common stock and common stock purchase
warrants to employees, shareholders and third parties. The expense for these
equity-based incentives is based on their fair value at date of grant in
accordance with SFAS No. 123 (R) “Share Based Payments”. The fair value of
each stock warrant granted is estimated on the date of grant using the “Black
Scholes” pricing model. The pricing model requires assumptions such as the
expected life of the stock warrant and the expected volatility of the Company’s
stock over the expected life, which significantly impacts the assumed value. The
Company uses historical data to determine these assumptions and if these
assumptions change significantly for future grants, share-based compensation
expense will fluctuate in future years. Fair value for stock issued was
determined at the closing price as of the date of issuance.
Advances
from Customers
Advances
from customers consist of prepayments to Shandong Jiajia for contracted cargo
that has not yet been shipped to the recipient and for other advance deposits.
These amounts are recognized as revenue as the contracted services are provided
or as customers take delivery of goods, in compliance with its revenue
recognition policy. Advances from customers totaled $1,651,438 and $683,436, at
March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
Long-Lived
Assets
The
Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be
held and used in the business, other than assets held for sale when events and
circumstances warrant. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is
considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the
carrying value exceeds the fair market value for assets to be held and used.
Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows
discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks involved. Long-lived assets to
be disposed of other than by sale are considered held and used until disposed.
There were no impairments recognized for the quarters ended March 31, 2008
or 2007.
Foreign
Currency Translation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States
dollars. The functional currency of Shandong Jiajia is the Renminbi (“RMB”), the
official currency of the People’s Republic of China. Capital accounts of the
consolidated financial statements, subject to the reverse acquisition completed
effective December 31, 2007, are translated into United States dollars from RMB
at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.
Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates as of the balance
sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate
of the periods presented.

The RMB
is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange
transactions must take place through PRC authorized institutions. No
representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be,
converted into U.S. dollars at the rates used in translation.
Minority
Interest
Under
generally accepted accounting principles when losses applicable to the minority
interest in a subsidiary exceed the minority interest in the equity capital of
the subsidiary, the excess is not charged to the minority interest since there
is no obligation of the minority interest to make good on such losses. The
Company, therefore, would absorbed all losses applicable to a minority interest
where applicable. If future earnings were then to materialize, the Company would
be credited to the extent of such losses previously absorbed.
NOTE
4 – GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a
going concern basis. The Company has generated minimal revenue since its
inception until its acquisition of a majority interest in Shandong Jiajia on
December 31, 2007 and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $333,000
at March 31, 2008. Additionally, the Company has negative working
capital of approximately $97,000 at March 31, 2008. The Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain
the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities
arising from normal business operations when they become due, to fund possible
acquisitions, and to generate profitable operations in the future. While the
Company has sustained losses, a related party/shareholder of the Company, Mr.
David Aubel, has been funding the operational needs of the Company.
Additionally, management plans to continue to provide for its capital
requirements by issuing additional equity securities and debt. The outcome of
these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that
the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its business plan or generate
positive operating results.
These
matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company
to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any
adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may
be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.
During
April 2008 the Company received gross proceeds of $3,778,250 from our 2008
unit offering.
NOTE
5 - CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE-DAVID AUBEL, RELATED PARTY
The Company has relied heavily on
advances from Mr. David Aubel, a principle shareholder of the Company, to fund
its operations. Mr. Aubel has never held a position as an officer or
director of the Company. Mr. Aubel has, over the years, executed a
number of convertible debt agreements and related amendments addressing the
collateral arrangements and repayment terms covering his
advances. These agreements and related amendments, provided for the
repayment of these obligations through the issuance of common stock of the
Company at substantial discounts from the then prevailing market
price.
On
December 3, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Aubel which
provided for the conversion of his obligation:
|
·
|
For
the first and second quarters of 2005 at $0.01 per
share;
|
|
·
|
For
the third quarter 2005 at 20% of the closing price on the date of
conversion; and
|
|
·
|
For
the fourth quarter 2005 and beyond at 40% of the closing price on the date
of conversion
|
Under
the provision of Emerging Issue Task Force (“EITF”) 98-5 and EITF 00-27, the
Company determined that the agreement with Mr. Aubel contained an embedded
conversion feature which should be valued separately at
issuance. Further, as Mr. Aubel’s December 3, 2005 agreement with the
Company contained no stated redemption date (due on demand) and the notes were
convertible at the option of investor, the resulting discount from market was
recognized immediately.
As
summary of the intrinsic value, the difference between Mr. Aubel’s conversion
price and the fair value of the Company’s common stock subsequent to the
commitment date, December 3, 2005, is as follows:

Based
on the Company’s review of the facts and circumstances surrounding the
agreements with Mr. Aubel and in connection with the restatement of the
Company’s financial statements, the Company believed the appropriate accounting
treatment was to record a receivable due from Mr. Aubel for the intrinsic value
of the shares tendered due to uncertainty as to the validity of the amount of
the note payable and the potential for a lack of consideration for the issuance
of such shares. The receivable recorded was subsequently expensed as
impaired as collection was not reasonably assured.
During
the first quarter of 2008, the Company issued Mr. Aubel 2,864,606 shares of its
common stock in full payment of the then $2,521,379 balance of his
note. The shares issued to Mr. Aubel had a fair value of $659,432
less than the obligation settled. This difference was recorded as a
contribution to capital rather than a gain on the debt settlement. We are
evaluating any rights we may have to seek damages against Mr. Aubel as a result
of the uncertainty as to the validity of the amount of the note
payable.

9 - CONTINGENCIES
On
August 11, 2004 (with an effective date of June 1, 2004) the Company
entered into a stock purchase agreement with Mr. James Joachimczyk, the sole
shareholder of a company engaged in the business of selling and distributing
electrical products. The principal terms of the agreement provide for the
Company to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the acquired
entity for a purchase price of $1,500,000 plus the issuance of 1,000,000
restricted common stock shares in the acquiring entity. Additional
considerations included in the stock purchase agreement require the Company to
collateralize an existing line of credit in the amount of $2,500,000 as well as
retain the services of the selling shareholder, pursuant to a consulting
agreement dated August 11, 2004, for a term consistent with the fulfillment
of the stock purchase agreement. The Company, at time of closing, gave its
initial deposit of $350,000, but has defaulted on the remaining balance due and
is also in default of the collateralization provision. Management has written
off the deposit of $350,000 and the seller has agreed to forbear from any action
at this time. Management anticipates, but cannot assure that a settlement will
be forthcoming and that the Company loss will consist of their forfeited
deposit. On December 31, 2007, David Aubel, a principal shareholder of the
Company personally guaranteed any and all liabilities resulting from the stock
purchase agreement.
NOTE
10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Between
April 18, 2008 and April 24, 2008, the Company completed the initial

proceeds of $3,778,250 in this offering. We paid fees relating to the offering
totaling approximately $558,000 and received net proceeds of approximately
$3,220,000.
ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information
contained in the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and
the notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein and in conjunction with the
Management’s Discussion and Analysis set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 2), for the year ended December 31, 2007.
China Logistics is on a calendar year; as such the three months period ended
March 31, 2008 is our first quarter. The year ended December 31, 2007 is
referred to as “2007.” The year ending December 31, 2008 is referred to as
“2008.”
OVERVIEW
Beginning
in 2003, we attempted to position ourselves within the entertainment and home
broadband marketplace to develop our MediaREADY™ product line and provide
products and services in the converging digital media on demand, enhanced home
entertainment and emerging interactive consumer electronics markets. Due to the
Company’s inability to successfully penetrate these markets a diversification
plan was implemented with the acquisition of Shandong Jiajia International
Freight & Forwarding Co., Ltd. (“Shandong JiaJia”). Our MediaREADY product
line has been suspended.
In the
fourth quarter of 2007, because our management did not believe the outlook for
either our ability to generate any significant revenues or our ability to raise
adequate capital would improve, our management elected to pursue a business
combination with an operating company in an effort to improve shareholder value.
On December 31, 2007 we acquired a 51% interest in Shandong Jiajia. Our
business is now the business and operations of Shandong Jiajia.
For
accounting purposes, the transaction with Shandong JiaJia was treated as a
reverse acquisition with Shandong JiaJia being the accounting acquirer. As the
company, then named MedaReady, Inc. was a public shell company as of December
31, 2007, the transaction date, the transaction was recorded as a capital
transaction with no intangibles being recognized. All revenue and expense items
reflected in this report in 2007 are those of Shandong JiaJia.
Established
in November 1999, Shandong Jiajia is a non-asset based international
freight forwarder and logistics manager located in the PRC. Shandong Jiajia acts
as an agent for international freight and shipping companies. It sells cargo
space and arranges land, maritime, and air international transportation for
clients seeking primarily to export goods from China. Since inception, Shandong
Jiajia estimates it has processed the delivery of approximately 80,000 standard
International Standards Organization, or ISO shipping containers totaling
approximately 500,000 metric tons. While it can also arrange for the logistics
for importing goods into China, historically less than 1% of its revenues are
derived from these services. Shandong Jiajia does not own any containers,
trucks, aircraft or ships. It contracts with companies owning these assets to
provide transportation services required for shipping freight on behalf of its
customers.
Even
though we are a U.S. company, our primary subsidiary, Shandong Jiajia is located
in the PRC. As a result, we face certain risks associated with doing business in
that country. These risks include risks associated with the ongoing transition
from PRC government business ownership to privatization, operating in a cash
based economy, dealing with inconsistent government policies, unexpected changes
in regulatory requirements, export restrictions, tariffs and other trade
barriers, challenges in staffing and managing operations in a communist country,
differences in technology standards, employment laws and business practices,
longer payment cycles and problems in collecting accounts receivable, changes in
currency exchange rates and currency exchange controls. We are unable to control
the vast majority of these risks associated both with our operations and the
country in which they are located and these risks could result in significant
declines in our revenues and adversely affect our operations.
Impact
of the 2008 Beijing Olympics
Even
though we are a U.S. company, the operations of our subsidiary which represents
substantially all of our business and operations is located in the PRC. We could
be adversely impacted by various policies recently adopted by the PRC which seek
to minimize pollution by limiting the operation of polluting agents in advance
of the Beijing Olympics to be held during August 2008. While it is not
clear how the recently adopted anti-pollution policies some of which go into
effect commencing on June 1, 2008 apply to all industries, the policies
could cause an interruption in the operations of our clients. Presently we have
not been notified of any potential interruption of our operations as a result of
these policies.
It
should be noted, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm
in connection with our annual report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 2) for the
year ended December 31, 2007 filed by us with the Securities and Exchange
Commission contains an explanatory paragraph that raised substantial doubt as to
our ability to continue as a going concern based on our recurring losses from
operations, net working capital deficiency and accumulated
deficit. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements
do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification
of assets carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that
might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

SALES
Our
consolidated sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were up $554,997 or
approximately 8.93%, increasing from $6,218,216 for the three months ended March
31, 2007 to $6,773,213 for the three months ended March 31,
2008. This increase was due to an overall increase in our operational
levels from an increase in demand for our services resulting in increased
shipping and freight volume.
COST
OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT
Our
consolidated cost of sales represents the cost of cargo space obtained by
Shandong Jiajia on behalf of its customers, and increased $135,725, or 2.13%,
from $6,380,005 during the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $6,515,730
during the three months ended March 31, 2008. Cost of sales as a
percentage of sales decreased between periods, from 103% for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 to 96% for the three months ended March 31,
2008. This decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues
contributed to our positive gross profit during the quarter and positive net
income. This decrease is primarily due to more efficient use of
leased cargo capacity.
Consolidated
gross profit increased $419,272, from a gross loss of $161,789 for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 to a gross profit of $257,483 for the three months
ended March 31, 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased
from a loss of 3% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to a profit of 4%
for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
TOTAL
OPERATING EXPENSES
Total
operating expenses includes personnel costs, administrative expenses, general
office expenses, advertising costs, and professional fees. These
expenses increased $258,507, or 174%, from $148,578 for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 to $407,085 for the three months ended March 31,
2008. Operating expense as a percentage of sales increased from
2% in the prior fiscal year to 6% during the current fiscal year. This
increase is due the acquisition of Shandong Jiajia and resultant effect of the
reverse merger. The current period’s operating expenses include
expenses of MediaReady and Shandong Jiajia compared to the prior period’s
operating expenses that only include expenses of Shandong Jiajia. We
expect operating expenses from MediaReady to decrease during 2008 and total
operating expenses to decrease accordingly.
TOTAL
OTHER INCOME
Total
other income increased $366,934 from a loss of $1,661 for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 to $365,273 for the three months ended March 31,
2008. This increase resulted from the one-time recovery of
bad debt of $380,978 related to Shandong Jiajia.
NET
LOSS
As a
result of favorable fluctuations in our gross profit and favorable impact of the
significant recovery of bad debt, we reduced our net loss to $19,529
in the current fiscal year; this represents a $293,019 improvement in the loss
of $312,548 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. As discussed, this
improvement resulted from a one-time recovery of bad debt totaling $380,978
during the quarter.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future
operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on an ongoing
basis.
At
March 31, 2008, the Company had cash of $1,276,113 and a working capital
deficit of $96,821, components of our working capital deficit included due to
accounts payable totaling $3,592,921 and advances from customers totaling
$1,651,438; offset by cash of $1,276,113, accounts receivable of $2,569,899,
amounts due from related parties of $576,380 and prepayments and other current
assets of $906,248. While subsequent to March 31, 2008, we raised
approximately $3,778,250 from the 2008 unit offering, we used $2,000,000 of
those proceeds to satisfy our commitments to Shandong Jiajia. The Company
believes, however, that its current working capital and cash generated from
operations will not be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements for
the next year without the ability to attain profitable operations and/or obtain
additional financing. The terms of the 2008 unit offering contain certain
restrictive covenants which will hamper our ability to raise additional capital.
If the Company is not successful in generating sufficient cash flows from
operations or in raising additional capital when required in sufficient amounts
and on acceptable terms, these failures could have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. If
additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities,
the percentage ownership of the Company’s then-current stockholders would
be diluted. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise any
required capital necessary to achieve its targeted growth rates and future
continuance on favorable terms or at all. Our independent public accountant has
included as a footnote in their report on our financial statements included in
our annual report on Form 10K/A (amendment No.2),stating that these factors
raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.
We
maintain cash balances in the United States and China. At March 31, 2008
and December 31, 2007, our cash by geographic area was as

In future
periods we anticipate a substantial portion of our cash balances will be held in
the form of RMB held in bank accounts at financial institutions located in the
PRC. Cash held in banks in the PRC is not insured. In 1996, the Chinese
government introduced regulations, which relaxed restrictions on the conversion
of the RMB; however, restrictions still remain, including but not limited to
restrictions on foreign invested entities. Foreign invested entities may only
buy, sell or remit foreign currencies after providing valid commercial documents
at only those banks authorized to conduct foreign exchanges. Furthermore, the
conversion of RMB for capital account items, including direct investments and
loans, is subject to PRC government approval. Chinese entities are required to
establish and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account
items. We cannot be certain Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose more
stringent restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB, especially with respect
to foreign exchange transactions. Accordingly, cash on deposit in banks in the
PRC is not readily deployable by us for purposes outside of China.
Due
from/to Related Parties
At
March 31, 2008, the Company was due $576,380 from Shandong Huibo Import
& Export Co., Ltd., a 24.3% shareholder in Shandong Jiajia. The loan which
was provided in 2005, is unsecured, non-interest bearing and payable on
demand.
At
March 31, 2008, our consolidated balance sheet reflects $219,959 due to
Xiangfen Chen, general manager of the Xiamen branch of Shandong Jiajia. The
loan, which was provided for working capital purposes is unsecured, non-interest
bearing and repayable on demand. In addition, the Company leases its branch
office in Xiamen City, China, from Mr. Chen under a lease agreement at $1,459
per year.
Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows
Cash
flows from operating activities
Net
cash used in operating activities was $1,474 for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 as compared to cash used of $175,668 for the three months
ended March 31, 2007. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we
used cash to fund an increase of $567,353 in prepayments and other assets,
decreased accounts payable by $849,904, a decrease of $25,399 in foreign tax
payable, a decrease of $240,187 in other accruals and an increase of $64,945 in
amounts due from related parties. This was offset by a decrease of $942,910 in
accounts receivable and an increase of $968,002 in cash advanced by
customers. These sharp reductions in liabilities were possible
through completion of our private placement and funding in April
2008.
Cash
flows from financing activities
Net
cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31,
2008 was $136,928 primarily obtained from $148,200 in proceeds from a
convertible note payable from Mr. David Aubel, a related party, offset by a
$11,272 repayment of short-term financing.
Our
current liabilities decreased by $2,990,218, or approximately 34.9%, at
March 31, 2008 from December 31, 2007; this reflects a decrease in
accounts payable of $851,904, the conversion of $446,985 in accrued compensation
– related party into common stock, the conversion of $2,373,179 in a convertible
note payable – related party into common stock and the reversal of a derivative
liability totaling $3,856,416 following the conversion of the convertible note
payable – related party, offset by an increase in advances from customers
totaling $968,002.
The
reasons for significant changes in the value of assets and liabilities between
March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 include:
· At
March 31, 2008 we had accounts receivable of $2,569,899 compared to
$3,131,831 at December 31, 2007. The decrease of $561,932 includes net
collections in accounts receivable of $942,910 and bad debt recovery of
$380,978. This reflects an emphasis on cash collections within our subsidiary
Shandong Jiajia, which resulted in an overall reduction in the carrying amounts
of accounts receivable.
· At
March 31, 2008 we had prepayments and other assets of $906,248 compared to
$338,895 at December 31, 2007. Prepayments consist of shipping charges to
secure cargo space with various shipping companies related to Shandong Jiajia.
The $567,353 increase reflects prepayments by Shandong Jiajia to obtain cargo
space and reflects on overall increase in the level of
operations.
· At
March 31, 2008 we had accounts payable of $3,592,921 compared to $4,444,825
at December 31, 2007. The $851,904 decrease was related to payables
satisfied by Shandong Jiajia.
· At
March 31, 2008 accrued compensation – related party was $0 compared to
$446,985 at December 31, 2007. As stipulated in our agreement with Shandong
Jiajia, we converted the accrued compensation due our president into common
stock on March 20, 2008.
· On
March 28, 2008, the company converted its debt of $2,521,379 to a related party,
Mr. David Aubel, into 3,445,853 shares of common stock. Accordingly, no debt was
reflected at March 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, the company carried a
blance payable to Mr. Aubel of $2,373,179.
· At
March 31, 2008 we recorded advances from customers of $1,651,438 related to
Shandong Jiajia as compared to $683,436 at December 31, 2007, an increase
of $968,002. The advances relate to payments for contracted cargo that has not
yet been shipped to the recipient. This increase reflects the overall increase
in the level of operational activities between the periods. These amounts are
recognized as revenue as customers take delivery of goods, in compliance with
our revenue recognition policy.
OFF
BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements that we are required to disclose
pursuant to these regulations. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into
operating lease commitments, purchase commitments and other contractual
obligations. These transactions are recognized in our financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are
based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
A summary
of significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the unaudited
consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report. Management
believes that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables us
to provide useful and reliable financial information about our Company's
operating results and financial condition.
Property,
Plant and Equipment
We record
property and equipment at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using
the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which
are from four to five years. Expenditures for major renewals and improvements
which extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. We
review the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment at least annually
or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is
measured by a comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows
that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets are
considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair
market value.
Stock
Based Compensation
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment", which
replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25. Under
SFAS No. 123(R), companies are required to measure the compensation costs
of share based compensation arrangements based on the grant date fair value and
recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which
employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation
arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance based
awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. In
March 2005 the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, or “SAB
107”. SAB 107 expresses views of the staff regarding the interaction between
SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides the
staff's views regarding the valuation of share based payment arrangements for
public companies. SFAS No. 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its
requirements using one of two methods. On April 14, 2005, the SEC adopted a
new rule amending the compliance dates for SFAS 123R. Companies may elect to
apply this statement either prospectively, or on a modified version of
retrospective application under which financial statements for prior periods are
adjusted on a basis consistent with the pro forma disclosures required for those
periods under SFAS 123. Effective January 1, 2006, we fully adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 123R and related interpretations as provided by SAB
107. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant as the excess
of the current market price of the underlying stock over the exercise price.
Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting
periods of the option grant.
Revenue
Recognition
We
provide freight forwarding services generally under contract with our
customers. Our business model involves placing our customers’ freight
on prearranged contracted transport.
We
follow the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 104 in our revenue recognition policy. In general, we
record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have
been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer
is filed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably
assured.
Typically
our recognition of revenue is determined by our shipment/payment terms as
follows:
|
•
|
When
merchandise departs the shipper’s location when the trade pricing terms
are CIF (cost, insurance and freight),
|
|
•
|
When
merchandise departs the shipper’s location when the trade pricing terms
are C&F (cost and freight), or
|
|
•
|
When
the merchandise arrives at the destination port if the trade pricing terms
are FOB (free on board)
destination.”

Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future
Results
This
report contains forward-looking statements. The Securities and Exchange
Commission encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that
investors can better understand a company's future prospects and make informed
investment decisions. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A and other
written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such
forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on
management's plans and assumptions regarding future events or performance. We
have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such
as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe,"
"will" and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future
operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements
relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and
anticipated sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal
proceedings, and financial results. A list of factors that could cause our
actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially
includes:

customarily contained in similar contracts prepared in the United
States;
|
|
·
|
our
dependence upon advisory services provided by a U.S. company due to our
management’s location in the PRC;

Business-Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 2)
for the year ended December 31, 2007 to be filed by us with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, Part II, Item 1A - Risk Factors of This Form

us to predict all of such factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each
such factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or
combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in any forward-looking statements.

ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not
applicable for a smaller reporting company.
ITEM
4T. CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
Chief Executive Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the
end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer who serves as our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March
31, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective
such that the information relating to our company, including our consolidating
subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission
reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of
material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting due to the
failure to properly record equity transactions which has resulted in two
material weaknesses. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination
of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a
material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be
prevented or detected.
As of
December 31, 2007, we did not have appropriate policies and procedures in
place to ensure that the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding
would not exceed the number of common stock shares authorized. This material
weakness was reported in our December 31, 2007 Form 10-K. Also, as of
December 31, 2007, we did not have appropriate policies and procedures in
place to ensure that the recognition of the fair value of 450,000 shares of our
Series B Convertible preferred stock to be issued for consulting services
rendered during the year ended December 31, 2007 would be accounted for in
2007. This material weakness was not discovered until May 14,
2008, subsequent to the filing of our December 31, 2007
Form 10-K/A.
Subsequent
to the filing of the December 31, 2007 Form 10-K/A on May 19, 2008, we
discovered that, as of December 31, 2007, we
did not have appropriate policies and procedures in place to ensure that the
Company: (i) account for our acquisition of a 51% interest in Shandong Jiajia as
a capital transaction instead of using the purchase method of accounting, (ii)
properly determine that we were a public shell company prior to the Shandong
Jiajia acquisition, and (iii) account for certain costs related to the Shandong
Jiajia acquisition as costs directly associated with the acquisition under the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No.141.
These
material weaknesses at December 31, 2007 continue at March 31,
2008. To correct these ongoing material weaknesses we plan to
implement changes in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control
over financial reporting to correct these material weaknesses before the filing
date of the December 31, 2008 Form 10-K. Specifically, for issuances of
common stock, management plans to implement improved policies and procedures
that will include a review of issuances of common stock by appropriate
personnel. For issuances of preferred stock, management plans to implement
improved policies and procedures that will include a review of the accounting
for preferred stock to be issued for consulting services by appropriate
personnel. In addition, we will make sure that we have an adequate number of
personnel involved in the preparation of the financial statements and
disclosures with the requisite expertise in generally accepted accounting
principles to ensure the proper application thereof. Once fully
implemented, management believes that these new policies and procedures will be
effective in remediating the identified material weaknesses.
Our
internal accounting staff is primarily engaged in ensuring compliance with PRC
accounting and reporting requirements for our operating affiliates and their
U.S. GAAP knowledge was limited. As a result, a majority of our internal
accounting staff is relatively inexperienced with U.S. GAAP and the related
internal control procedures required of U.S. public companies. Although our
accounting staff is professional and experienced in accounting requirements and
procedures generally accepted in the PRC, management has determined that they
require additional training and assistance in U.S. GAAP matters. Management has
determined that our internal audit function is also significantly deficient due
to insufficient qualified resources to perform internal audit functions.
Finally, management determined that the lack of an Audit Committee of our Board
of Directors also contributed to insufficient oversight of our accounting and
audit functions.
Our
management, solely being our Chief Executive Officer, does not expect that our
disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls 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. Due to the
inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can
provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if
any, within our company have been detected.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our
last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting other than that
noted in the preceding paragraphs.
