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 (U.S.) 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 Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity,” SFAS NoNo. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.” During 2007, the Company issued 6% secured convertible debentures in a face amount of $2,000,000 which are due and payable in full in 2 years from their issuance. As fixed prices are set for the conversion prices of such convertible debentures and the attached warrants, the Company is in a position to be sure it had adequate authorized shares for the future conversion of convertible debentures and warrants. Therefore, no embedded derivatives andor warrants arewere required to be recorded at fair value and marked-to-market at each reporting period.

Income taxesTaxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting StandardsSFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“Statement 109”). Under StatementSFAS No. 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 StatementSFAS No. 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.

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Recent accounting pronouncementsAccounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, FASB issued Statement 157, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP. More precisely, this statement sets forth a standard definition of fair value as it applies to assets or liabilities, the principle market (or most advantageous market) for determining fair value (price), the market participants, inputs and the application of the derived fair value to those assets and liabilities. The effective date of this pronouncement is for all full fiscal and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The SFAS 159 became effective for us on January 1, 2008. The Company chose not to elect the option to measure the fair value of eligible financial assets and liabilities.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the effect that the application of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R, “Business Combinations,” which applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses, including those sometimes referred to as “true mergers” or “mergers of equals” and combinations achieved without the transfer of consideration. This statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141 and applies to all business entities, including mutual entities that previously used the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for some business combinations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This Statement will not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” The scope of this Statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, as described in this Statement, issued by enterprises included within the scope of Statement 60. Accordingly, this Statement does not apply to financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables). This Statement also does not apply to financial guarantee insurance contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This Statement will not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

EITF No.07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. ManagementThis standard triggers liability accounting on all options and warrants exercisable at strike prices denominated in any currency other than the functional currency of the operating entity in China (Renminbi). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of EITF No. 07-5 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-4, “Transition Guidance for Conforming Changes to Issue No. 98-5 (“EITF No. 08-4”)”. The objective of EITF No.08-4 is to provide transition guidance for conforming changes made to EITF No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, that result from EITF No. 00-27 “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”, and SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Early application is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of EITF No. 08-4 on the accounting for the convertible notes and related warrants transactions.

On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No.157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active,” which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP 157-3 became effective October 10, 2008, and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

Appropriation to the statutory surplus reserve should be at least 10% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP until the reserve is equal to 50% of the entities’ registered capital. Appropriations to the statutory public welfare fund are at 10% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP.

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.

29


The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. We are also subject to other risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from estimated amounts. Significant estimates in 2008 and 2007 include the estimated residual value and useful life of property and equipment and the assumptions made when we used the Black-Scholes option price model to value the warrants we have issued.
27

 
Inventories, consisting of raw materials, work-in progress, and finished goods related to our products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the specific identification method.

We recognize revenue, net of value added taxes, 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 collectability is deemed probable.  

Details regarding our use of these policies and the related estimates are described in the accompanying notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three months and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies that impacted our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS 

In September 2006, FASB issued Statement 157, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP. More precisely, this statement sets forth a standard definition of fair value as it applies to assets or liabilities, the principle market (or most advantageous market) for determining fair value (price), the market participants, inputs and the application of the derived fair value to those assets and liabilities. The effective date of this pronouncement is for all full fiscal and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The SFAS 159 became effective for us on January 1, 2008. The Company chose not to elect the option to measure the fair value of eligible financial assets and liabilities.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the effect that the application of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R, “Business Combinations,” which applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses, including those sometimes referred to as “true mergers” or “mergers of equals” and combinations achieved without the transfer of consideration. This statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141 and applies to all business entities, including mutual entities that previously used the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for some business combinations. The Company believes that adoption of the FAS 141R will have a material effect on future acquisitions.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This Statement will not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
30


In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” The scope of this Statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, as described in this Statement, issued by enterprises included within the scope of Statement 60. Accordingly, this Statement does not apply to financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables). This Statement also does not apply to financial guarantee insurance contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This Statement will not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

28

In June 2008, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 07-5 “Determining whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF No. 07-5”). This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is not permitted. Paragraph 11(a) of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No 133 “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF No.07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of EITF No. 07-5 on the Companys financial statements.

In June 2008, FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-4, “Transition Guidance for Conforming Changes to Issue No. 98-5 (“EITF No. 08-4”)”. The objective of EITF No.08-4 is to provide transition guidance for conforming changes made to EITF No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, that result from EITF No. 00-27 “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”, and SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Early application is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of EITF No. 08-4 on the accounting for the convertible notes and related warrants transactions.

On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No.157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active,” which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP 157-3 became effective on October 10, 2008, and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

Gross margin in the EUEurope was 18.2%13.3% for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008, compared to 19.4%17.7% for the same period in 2007. Although we received more repeat orders in the second quarter of 2008,have changed our product mix to improve our gross margin, decreased slightly duethis move toward higher-margin products was offset by higher price sensitivity on the part of our European customers, high inflation in China and the effect of an appreciating renminbi against currencies of importing nations. First, many of our customers have been negotiating for lower contract prices, as the retail environment has become more competitive, which we believe may be associated with a slowing economy in Europe. Also, inflation has persisted in China especially in early 2008, which has increased the prices of labor and materials, and this has added downward pressure to an increaseour margins. Finally, the Chinese renminbi has been appreciating against other world currencies, making Chinese imports more expensive, particularly to customers in Europe and the purchasing priceU.S., and this has put pressure on us to reduce prices in order to continue to be a top supplier to many of raw materials.our customers.

Gross margin in the U.S. was 11.8%6.6% for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008, compared to 9.5%8.7% for the same period in 2007, as2007. In 2008, we adjusted our customer structuremix in the U.S., as we moved away from lower end mass market products, and shifted from targeting mass markets toentered higher quality upper market segments. As a result,segments to improve our gross marginprofit percentage. Generally, at the present time, we consider “upper market” or “premium” products as garments that we sell at an average cost to our customers of higher than US$8.00 per unit. In the third quarter of 2008, however, we believe that due to unfavorable economic conditions in the U.S., including an emerging credit crisis, our customers have become more cautious and price sensitive, and they are beginning to shift their buying patterns accordingly. In order to continue to achieve sales to our U.S. customers, we cut our prices in order to remain competitive with other suppliers. Currently, we are seeking to expand and acquire new customer relationships with middle-to upper market or premium retailers in the U.S. market improved.in order to offset this trend.

Gross margin in Japan was 21.4%21.1% for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008, compared to 17.1%12.2% for the same period in 2007, as we became more successful with premium brands. Duringof 2007. In the secondthird quarter of 2008, 50% ofwe were able to successfully shift our product mix into premium brands in Japan, in order to achieve these higher margins. Specifically, one upper market Japanese casual wear retailer who we recently added as a customer generated approximately $1.9 million in sales in the three quarters ending September 30, 2008. Since our sales revenues came from two premiums, each of which had higherto Japan became more heavily weighted toward higher-end garments with very favorable margins, our overall gross margins than work uniforms that we sold in themargin on sales to Japanese market.customers increased.

Gross margin in China, excluding our retail operations, was 19.4%12.7% for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008, compared to 8.4%27.1% for the same period of 2007. This reduction in 2007, asgross margin was due to higher-than-expected inflation in the PRC and appreciation of the Chinese renminbi relative to the U.S. dollar. We managed to negotiate mild increases our contract prices with our Hong Kong customers, based on and to adjust for our internal forecasts regarding domestic inflation and Chinese renminbi appreciation, however, actual domestic inflation and appreciation in the renminbi turned out to be higher than we adjustedhad originally forecast. As a result, we experienced a decline in gross margin on our customer structure and shifted from targeting mass markets to higher quality market segmentsPRC sales.

Gross margin in retail for our new brand LA GO GO, which operates retail stores in the PRC, was 35.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Since it was launched in the early part of 2008, our LA GO GO division did not operate during the third quarter of 2007.

Overall gross margin for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008 was 18.1%14.4%, updecrease from 15.9%15.8% for the same period of 2007. Management generally attributes this to higher inflation in 2007, mainlythe PRC, and a rising Chinese renminbi. We countered this trend, in some regions more than others as a resultdiscussed above, by moving toward higher-margin products in those markets. Management expects that continued efforts to move toward upper-market premium products, if successful, will enable the company to combat the effects of improvedinflation and an appreciating Chinese renminbi, and maintain and increase our overall gross profit marginsmargins. In addition, management expects that we achieved in mostas the company’s domestic retail operation grows and becomes a larger part of our geographic markets but especially inbusiness, if this growth is realized, this would eventually have the Japanese and Chinese markets.effect of increasing the company’s overall profit margins.

We generate revenues primarily from the original design manufacturing (ODM) of garments mainly for the export markets and have entered into the domestic retail market focusing on our own branded garments during 2008. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $43,815,605, an increase of 43.6% from $30,523,434 for 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to an overall increase in ODM sales to customers in Europe, U.S., Japan and the PRC.

ODM sales to customers in Europeaccounted for 62.2% of our revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2008, up 46.9% as compared to the same period in 2007. In 2008, we attracted two new customers in Europe, which increased orders during the first six months of 2008, and we also received an increase in orders from our largest customer in Europe.

ODM sales to customers in the U.S.accounted for 15.2% of our revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2008. Sales revenues were consistent between the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Due to the increase in sales in other geographic markets, however, sales generated in the U.S. market as a percentage of total global sales decreased by 6.4%.

Sales to customers in Japan accounted for 13.3% of our revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2008, up 62.3% compared to the same period in 2007, as we were more successful with premium brands in the Japanese market.

Sales to customers in the PRC market accounted for 8.4% of our revenue in 2008, up 106.0% compared to the same period in 2007, as we received an increase in orders from our customers in Hong Kong.

Sales from the domestic retail market accounted for 0.9% of our revenue in 2008. La Go Go was incorporated on January 24, 2008 and obtained its retail license on April 3, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, we have 39 stores leased and/or managed with an average store size of 80 square meters. We continue to develop new retail stores, and, as of July 31, 2008, the number of retail stores increased to 44 stores located in 22 cities.

Gross Profit $8,074,873  18.4%$4,631,141  15.2%$3,443,732  74.4%

Cost of raw materials accounted for 48.2% of our total net sales in 2008, an increase of 53.3% compared to the prior year. These costs, as a percentage of our total net sales, increased from 45.1% to 48.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. This increase was mainly due to the higher annualized inflation rate of approximately 8-9%. In addition, gasoline prices increased in China by 20% on June 1, 2008. These factors pushed suppliers to increase the prices of raw materials.

Labor costs accounted for 3.2% of our total net sales in the six months ended June 30, 2008, down from 5.9% in the same period in 2007. This decrease was mainly due to a workforce reduction. In 2008, Goldenway began to increase outsourcing to independent contract manufacturers and reduced the number of its own line employees with an intention to manage its labor costs better.

Outsource production costs accounted for 28.6% of our total net sales in the six months ended June 30, 2008, down from 31.5% in the same period last year.

Overhead and other expenses accounted for 1.3% of our total net sales in the first six months of 2008, compared to 2.3% for the same period in 2007. This decrease was a result of a reduction in the number of our employees.

Total cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $35,740,732, an increase of 38.0% from $25,892,293 in the same period in 2007. This increase was attributable to increased production volume and sales. As a percentage of total net sales, our cost of sales decreased from 84.8% to 81.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Consequently, gross margins as a percentage of revenues increased from 15.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to 18.4% for the same period in 2008. The 3.2% increase was attributable to better control of our manufacturing overhead and improvements in production efficiency.

Gross margin in the EU was 18.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to 17.4% for the same period in 2007, as we shifted from targeting mass markets to higher quality market segments, and we received an increase in repeat orders in 2008. Since there no longer is a sales quote for exporting goods to most European countries, we have greater flexibility to develop and select customers who are willing to offer better purchase prices for high quality products.

Gross margin in U.S. was 13.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to 4.8% for the same period in 2007 as we shifted from targeting mass markets to higher quality market segments. We attracted several new customers willing to offer competitive purchase prices, but we also cut sales orders with customers asking for lower prices.

Gross margin in Japan was 18.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to 14.5% for the same period in 2007, as we became more successful with premium brands in the Japanese market, where the major exported product used to be uniforms. In the six months ended June 30, 2008, 50% of our Japanese sales came from two premium brands, both of which had higher gross margins.

Gross margin in China was 21.9% for the first six months of 2008, compared to 31.5% for the same period in 2007, as we received an increase in repeat orders in 2008. In connection with these repeat orders, we were not able to fully pass on our increased production costs to our repeat customers within China, and as a result our gross margin in China decreased for the six month period ending June 30, 2008, as compared with the same period last year.

Overall gross margin in 2008 was 18.4%, up from 15.2% in 2007, mainly as a result of increased gross profit margins achieved in most of our geographic markets.

Selling expenses in 2008 increased by 98.4% from $325,710 in the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $646,092 in the six months ended June 30, 2008. This was due to an increase in traveling expenses and marketing expenses incurred by our international sales force to attract new customers, increased export expenses, and $122,559 expended by La Go Go to promote our domestic retail brand.

General and administrative expenses increased by 75.8% from $1,706,163 in the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $2,998,882 in the six months ended June 30, 2008. However, as a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased from 5.6% to 6.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase is partially explained by an increase in depreciation and amortization of our office facilities. Payroll also increased during the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007 as a result of the increase in our management staff to handle expansion of our business. The increase in general and administrative expenses is also attributable to the increase in expenses incurred by our U.S. parent company for investor relations.

Income from Operations

Income from operations increased from $2,599,268 in the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $4,429,899 in the six months ended June 30, 2008, a 70.4% increase, as we expanded our market exposure, increased our sales volume and improved cost management during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Other Expenses

Other expenses increased $235,976 from $125 in the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $236,101 in the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Sales to customers in Europeaccounted for 55.7% of our net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of 43.6% compared to the same period of 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to higher demand and increased order volume from our several largest Europe customers.

Sales to customers in the U.S.accounted for 16.8% of our net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of 19.8% compared to the same period of 2007, which was primarily due to the expansion of our customer base in the United States.

Sales to customers in Japan accounted for 16.8% of our net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of 94.7% compared to the same period of 2007.

Raw material costs, as a percentage of total net sales, remained flat for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period of 2007. In the third quarter of 2008, we took effective measures to control the cost of raw materials by centralizing our purchasing function.

Labor costs accounted for 2.9% of our total net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, which decreased from 4.9% for the same period in 2007. This decrease was mainly due to an internal headcount reduction. In 2008, after performing a comprehensive review of our processes and organization, management decided to increase outsourcing from our Goldenway subsidiary to independent contractors to improve performance and efficiency as well as better manage our labor costs.

Outsource production costs accounted for 31.4% of our total net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, which increased from 30.9% for the same period in 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to the increased cost of outsourcing in relation to the output from outsourcing, especially in the third quarter of 2008. During 2008, there was a general increase in inflation, which included both wages and goods.

Overhead and other expenses accounted for 1.8% of our total net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to 2.9% for the same period of 2007. This decrease was also due to reduction in our employee headcount as a result of increased outsourcing.

Our retail business costs accounted for 1.0% of our total net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This consisted of purchases of finished goods from other suppliers for resale in our LA GO GO stores.

Total cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $63,035,937, an increase of 49.0% compared to the same period in 2007. As a percentage of total net sales, cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, decreased from 84.6% to 83.3%, compared to the same period in 2007. Consequently, the gross margin as a percentage of sales increased to approximately 16.7% from 15.4% for the same period in 2007. The increase in gross margin was attributable to better control in our manufacture overhead and the improvement in our production efficiency in 2008.

Gross margin in Europe was 16.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to 17.5% for the same period of 2007. As in the third quarter of 2008, our gross margin experienced mild reduction in the nine month period ending September 30, 2008, as compared with the same nine month period in 2007. In the last nine months we changed our product mix to improve our gross margin, however, this was offset by other countervailing factors, such as higher price sensitivity on the part of our customers, inflation in China and the effect of an appreciating renminbi against currencies of importing nations. Many of our customers have been negotiating for lower contract prices, as the retail environment has become more competitive, which we believe may be associated with a slowing economy in Europe. Also, inflation has persisted in China in recent months, which has increased the prices of labor and materials, and this has added downward pressure to our margins. Finally, the Chinese renminbi has been appreciating against other world currencies, making Chinese imports more expensive, particularly to customers in Europe and the U.S., and this has put pressure on us to reduce prices in order to continue to be a top supplier to many of our customers.

Gross margin in U.S. was 10.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to 6.3% for the same period of 2007. In 2008, we adjusted our customers mix in the U.S., we moved away from mass markets and entering into high quality upper market segments to improve our gross profit percentage. During the nine months ending September 30, 2008, particularly in the third quarter of 2008 as a financial crisis unfolded, consumers became more sensitive to price, we had to decrease our prices in order to compete with rival manufacturers. We are continuing to seek more business opportunities with middle- to upper market premium retailers in order to maintain or gross profit margins.

Gross margin in Japan was 20.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to 13.4% for the same period in 2007 as we shifted toward the premium brand market. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we were able to shift our production to upper market premium garments which yielded higher gross margin than our previous product mix. As discussed in our quarterly analysis above, one upper market Japanese casual wear retailer who we recently added as a customer increased their order volume from approximately $14,000 in 2007, up to approximately $1.9 million as of September 30, 2008. Since our sales to Japan became more heavily weighted toward higher-end garments with very favorable margins, our overall gross margin on sales to Japanese customers increased.

Gross margin in China, excluding our retail operations, was 17.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to 29.4% for the same period in 2007. This reduction in gross margin was due to higher-than-expected inflation in the PRC and appreciation of the Chinese renminbi relative to the U.S. Dollar. We managed to negotiate mild increases our contract prices with our Hong Kong customers, based on and to adjust for our internal forecasts regarding domestic inflation and Chinese renminbi appreciation, however, actual domestic inflation and appreciation in the renminbi turned out to be higher than we had originally forecast. As a result, we experienced a decline in gross margin on our sales in China.
Gross margin for our recently launched retail brand, LA GO GO, was 44.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in gross margin between the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to lower margins for summer clothing sold in the third quarter, in contrast to spring clothing sold in the second quarter of 2008 which tends to carry a higher gross margin. Also, as is typical in the retail business, we often discount items during the summer season, which leads to lower margins for items sold in the third quarter of the year.
41

Overall gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was 16.7%, increase from 15.4% for the same period in 2007. Management generally attributes this to higher inflation in the PRC, and a rising Chinese renminbi. We countered this trend, in some regions more than others as discussed above, by moving toward higher-margin products in those markets. Management expects that continued efforts to move toward upper-market premium products, if successful, will enable the company to combat the effects of inflation and an appreciating Chinese renminbi, and maintain and increase our overall gross profit margins. In addition, management expects that as the company’s domestic retail operation grows and becomes a larger part of our business, if this growth is realized, this would eventually have the effect of increasing the company’s overall profit margins.

Selling expenses in 2008 increased by 145.1% to $1,210,063 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase was attributable to increased travel and marketing expenses incurred by the international sales force to obtain new customers, and also the increased export expenses such as customs duties, port fees, export document fees, inspection fees, and other related costs, and promotion of our domestic brand, LA GO GO.

General and administrative expenses increased by 80.8% from $2,558,587 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $4,625,257 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. However, as a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses for the nine month period slightly increased from 5.1% to 6.1%. The increase was mainly due to increases in salary expense, employee benefits, professional fees and depreciation expenses relating to our new office facilities. Payroll also increased by approximately $1.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to the same period last year, as we hired more management professionals as our business continued its expansion. The increase of the expenses incurred by the US parent company for investor relationship was also affect out total general and administrative expenses.

Income from Operations
Income from operations increased by 46.8% from $4,651,966 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $6,829,924 for the nine months ended September 30 2008, as we expanded our market exposure, increased our sales volume and improved cost management during this period.

Interest expense was $2,677,546 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $942,534 for the same period in 2007.

This increase was mainly due to the interest expense incurred related to the convertible notes issued in August 2007. As disclosed in the note 11 to the accompanying financial statements, the Company consummated a private placement of $2,000,000 principal amount of 6% secured notes with five-year common stock warrants which were convertible to 909,091 shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $2.20 per share. On the issuance date, the Company recorded a discount on the note related to the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature totaling $943,797 and $1,056,203 for the fair value of the warrants issued. Financing cost related to this private placement was $372,602 in which $242,520 was paid out of the gross proceeds and $130,082 was the value of the warrants granted to the replacement agents.
42

Pursuant to the APB 21, financing cost is amortized over the life of the notes to interest expense using the effective interest method. Also according to the paragraph 21 of EITF 00-27, all unamortized discount at the time of the conversion must be recognized as interest expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, $1,950,000 in convertible notes had been converted to the Company’s common shares. Accordingly, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, $318,196 of financing cost and $1,934,028 amortization of discount were recorded as interest expense.

Income Tax Expenses
Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $841,850 and $155,203, respectively. Our effective income tax rates were 20.9% and 4.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in our income tax expenses were mainly due to the expiration of Goldenway’s tax holiday on December 31, 2007. In addition, Catch-Luck and New-Tailun were subject to higher preferential tax rates since the beginning of 2008.

Our PRC subsidiaries were subject to various preferential tax policies and were entitled to the following income tax rates:

Goldenway  25.0% 12.0%
Catch-Luck  12.5% 0.0%
New-Tailun  12.5% 0.0%

Goldenway was incorporated in the PRC and is subject to PRC income tax laws and regulations. Goldenway is presently subject to an income tax rate of 25%.

New-Tailun and Catch-Luck were incorporated in the PRC and are subject to PRC income tax laws and regulations. According to the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC, enterprises with foreign investment in the PRC are entitled to full exemption from income tax for two years beginning from the first year the enterprises become profitable and has accumulated profits and a 50% income tax reduction for the subsequent three years. New-Tailun and Catch-Luck were approved as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise in 2006 and are entitled to 100% income tax exemptions in 2006 and 2007 and a 50% reduction for the next three years. In 2008, New-Tailun and Catch-Luck are subject to a 12.5% income tax rate.

LA GO GO was established on January 24, 2008, and it is subject to an income tax rate of 25%.

Perfect Dream Limited (“Perfect Dream”), was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on July 1, 2004, its income tax rate is 0%.

Ever-Glory International Group Inc., our parent corporation, was incorporated in the State of Florida, and it has incurred net operating losses for income tax purposes through September 30, 2008. The net operating loss carry forwards for United States income taxes may be available to reduce ad offset the company’s taxable income in future years. These carry forwards will expire, if not utilized, through 2028. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses is uncertain due to our limited operating history and continuing losses for United States income tax purposes. Accordingly, we have provided a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset benefit to reduce the asset to zero. Management will review this valuation allowance periodically and make adjustments as warranted.

Minority Interest

On January 9, 2008, our subsidiary Goldenway entered into an Agreement with La Chapelle, to form a joint venture to develop, promote and market a new line of women’s wear in China, referred to as “LA GO GO”. We agreed to initially invest 6 Million RMB (approximately $826,200) in cash, and our joint venture partner La Chapelle agreed to invest 4 Million RMB (approximately $553,040) in cash, for 60% and 40% stakes, respectively, in the joint venture. The LA GO GO joint venture is consolidated in our financial statements, while the 40% stake held by La Chapelle is classified as a “minority interest”. As of September 30, 2008, we recorded $551,623 as minority interest. For the nine month period ending September 30, 2008, we recorded a loss of $1,417, which represents La Chapelle’s 40% of LA GO GO’s net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,643,493,$882,548, other current assets of $23,088,903$28,877,147 and current liabilities of $13,741,916.$15,794,376. We presently finance our operations primarily withfrom the cash flowsflow from our operations, and we anticipate that this will continue to be our primary source of funds to finance our short-term cash needs. If we require additional capital to expand or enhance our existing facilities, we will consider debt or equity offerings or institutional borrowings as potential means of financing.

Capital Commitments

We have a continuing program for the purpose of improving our manufacturing facilities. We anticipate that cash flows from operations and bank borrowings from banks will be used to pay for these capital commitments. The Articles of Association of our Goldenway subsidiary required that registered capital of approximately $17.5 million be paid into Goldenway by February 1, 2008. The increased registered capital is to be paid in installments within three years of the issuance of Goldenway’s updated business license.

Uses of Liquidity

Our cash requirements through the end of fiscal 2008 will be primarily to fund daily operations for the growth of our business. Management will consider acquiring additional manufacturing capacity in the future to strengthen and stabilize our manufacturing base. We intend to establish our own distribution and logistics channels in overseas markets. As discussed above, on January 9, 2008, we entered into a joint venture to launch a proprietary brand directly into the Chinese market, which was also expected to require additional cash investments in 2008. In addition, we must make certainwill be required to fund our required capital contributions to our Goldenway subsidiaryas discussed above in accordance with a timetable to be determined with the input of applicable local authorities.“Capital Commitments.”

Sources of Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity for our short-term cash needs are expected to be from cash flows generated from operations and cash and cash equivalents currently on hand. We believe that we will be able to borrow additional funds if needed.

We believe our cash flow from operations together with our cash and cash equivalents currently on hand will be sufficient to meet our needs for working capital, capital expenditure and other commitments through the end of 2008. For our long-term cash needs, we are currently considering a number of different financing opportunities, which may include debt and equity financing. No assurance can be made that such financing will be available to us, and adequate funds may not be available on terms acceptable to us. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, dilution to existing shareholders may result. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, we will develop or enhance our products or services and expand our business through our own cash flows from operations.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2008, we had outstanding borrowings under aaccess to $7,315,000 of line of credit. Of this line of credit, $1,521,520 is available and unused, of which our lender has committed to loan from Nanjing Bank of $5,777,640, which we repaid in full on July 25, 2008.to us upon request. This credit facility does not require that we meetcontain any covenants or maintainimpose any financial ratios or tests. As of June 30, 2008, we did not have any standby letters of credit or standby repurchase obligations.other restrictions on our operations.

Foreign Currency Translation Risk

Our operations are, for the most part, located 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 RMB. We price our exported products, and enter into sales contracts, based on the U.S. dollar. 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. In 2008, the RMB continued to appreciate against the U.S. dollar. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2008, the market foreign exchanges rate was increased to 6.85 RMB to one U.S. dollar. As a result, the ongoing appreciation of RMB to U.S. dollar negatively impacted our gross margins for the sixnine months and three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008. We are always negotiating order price adjustments with most of our customers based on the daily market foreign exchange rates, which we believe will reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations in the future and pass some of the increase in cost to our customers.

In addition, the financial statements of Goldenway, New-Tailun, Catch-Luck and La Go GoLA GO GO (whose functional currency is the RMB) are translated into U.S.US dollars using the closing rate method. The balance sheet items are translated into U.S.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 period. All exchange differences are recorded within equity. The foreign currency translation gain for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008 and 2007 was $1,711,237were $1,818,706 and $450,706,$720,130, respectively.

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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio and have no foreign exchange contracts. Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term obligations. We consider investments in highly-liquid instruments purchased with a remainingan original maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

46

Interest Rates. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our short-term investments and short-term obligations; thus, fluctuations in interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of these securities. At JuneSeptember 30, 2008, we had approximately $1.6$0.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. A hypothetical 5% increase or decrease in either short termshort-term or long termlong-term interest rates would not have any material impact on our earnings or loss, or the fair market value or cash flows of these instruments.
 
40

Foreign Exchange Rates. We pay our suppliers and employees in Chinese Renminbi (RMB),RMB, however, we sell to customers in the U.S., Japan and Europe and we generate sales in U.S. dollars and Euros. Accordingly, our business has substantial exposure to changes in exchange rates between and among the Chinese RMB, the U.S. dollar and the Euro. In the last decade, the RMB has been pegged at 8.2765 yuan to one U.S. dollar. On July 21, 2005 it was revalued to 8.11 per U.S. dollar. Following the removal of the peg to the U.S. dollar and pressure from the United States,U.S., the People’s Bank of China also announced that the RMB would be pegged to a basket of foreign currencies, rather than being strictly tied to the U.S. dollar, and would be allowed to float trade within a narrow 0.3% daily band against this basket of currencies. The PRC government has stated that the basket is dominated by the U.S. dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen and South Korean Won, with a smaller proportion made up of the British Pound, Thai Baht, Russian Ruble, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar and Singapore Dollar. There can be no assurance that the relationship between the RMB and these currencies will remain stable over time, especially in light of the significant political pressure on the Chinese government to permit the free flotation of the RMB, which could result in greater and more frequent fluctuations in the exchange rate between the RMB, the U.S. dollar and the Euro. At JuneSeptember 30, 2008, the exchange rate between the RMB and dollar was 6.856.84 RMB to one U.S. dollar. For additional discussion regarding our foreign currency risk, see the section titled “Risk Factors—Factors — Fluctuation in the value of Chinese Renminbi (RMB)RMB relative to other currencies may have a material adverse effect on our business and/or an investment in our shares.”
 
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2008, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective.

Remediation of Material in Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

Management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error or all fraud, even as the same are improved to address any deficiencies and/or weaknesses. 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. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of 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 the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.

Our financial reporting process includes extensive procedures we undertake in order to obtain assurance regarding the reliability of our published financial statements, notwithstanding the material weaknesses in internal control. We expanded our review of accounting for business combinations to help compensate for our material weaknesses in order to provide assurance that the financial statements are free of material inaccuracies or omissions of material fact. As a result, management, to the best of its knowledge, believes that (i) this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not contain any untrue statements of a material fact or omit any material fact and (ii) the financial statements and other financial information included in this report have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and fairly present in all material aspects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

47

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There have been no material developments toin any of our legal proceedings since the Legal Proceedings described inlast date covered by our Form 10-Q filed May 6, 2008 and our Form 10-K filed March 12,quarterly report for the period ending June 30, 2008.

RISK FACTORS
 
You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this report before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated into this report that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following events described in these risk factors actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline.

Risks Relating to Our Industry

Our sales are influenced by general economic cycles. A prolonged period of depressed consumer spending would have a material adverse effect on our profitability.

Apparel is a cyclical industry that is dependent upon the overall level of consumer spending. Purchase of apparel generally decline during recessionary periods when disposable income is low. 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. We currently sell to customers in the U.S., the EU and Japan. Accordingly, economic conditions and consumer spending patterns in these regions could affect our sales, and an economic down turn in one or more of these regions could have an adverse effect on our business.

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 other countries. 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 if we cannot continue enhancing our marketing and management strategies, quality and value or responding appropriately to consumers’ needs.

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.
 
48

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:
 
 ·require us to reduce wholesale prices on existing products;
42

 ·result in reduced gross margins across our product lines;
 ·increase pressure on us to further reduce our production costs and our operating expenses.  

Any of these factors could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

Fluctuation in the price, availability and quality of raw materials could increase our cost of goods and decrease our profitability.

We purchase raw materials directly from local fabric and accessory suppliers. We may also import specialty fabrics to meet specific customer requirements. We also purchase finished goods from other contract manufacturers. The prices we charge for our products are dependent in part on the market price for raw materials used to produce them. The price, availability and quality of our raw materials may fluctuate substantially, depending on a variety of factors, including demand, crop yields, weather patterns, 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.
 
During the six and three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company didWe do not rely on any supplier. For the six monthssingle source for our supplies, and three months ended June 30, 2007, we relied on one supplier for 11% of our raw material purchases. We do not have any long-term written agreements with any suppliers and do not anticipate entering into any such agreements in the near future. However, we always execute a written agreement for each order placed with our suppliers. We do not believe that loss onof any of theseour suppliers would have a material adverse effect on our ability to obtain finished goods or raw materials essential to our business because we believe we can locate other suppliers in a timely manner.

Risks Relating to Our Business

We are increasingly relying upon contract manufacturers, to whom we outsource a significant amount of our manufacturing. An interruption our business relationship these contract manufacturers may disrupt our operations.

During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, we relied on one contract manufacturer for 17% and 14% of our outsourcing production, respectively.  For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, this contract manufacturer handled approximately 19.0% and 9.8% of our outsourced production. We do not believe that loss of the relationship with our highest volume contract manufacturer would have any long term material adverse effect on our business, as we believe that we would be able to promptly find and engage an alternative manufacturer within a reasonable amount of time. However, a prolonged interruption with our contract manufacturers may cause an interruption in our operations, which could adversely affect our results.

We depend on some key customers for a significant portion of our sales. A significant adverse change in a customer relationship or in a customer’s performance or financial position could harm our business and financial condition.
 
For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, our twoone largest customerscustomer represented approximately 43.3%29.4% and 51.0%33.9% of our total net sales. For the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, our twothis largest customerscustomer represented approximately 46.2%25.7% and 48.4%29.9% of our total net sales. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2008, two customersthis customer accounted for 29.5%2.5% of total accounts receivable. 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.

49

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 do not believe that there is any material risk of loss of any of these customers during the next 12 months. We also believe that the unexpected loss of these customers could have material adverse effect on our earnings or financial condition. While we believe that we could replace these customers within 12 months, the loss of which will not have material adverse effect on our financial condition in the long term. None of our affiliates are officers, directors, or material shareholders of any of these customers.
  
Our internal controls and procedures have been materially deficient, and, although we have corrected our internal control deficiencies, there is no assurance thatif our internal controls and procedures will neverare found to be materially deficient again in the future.future, or if we fail to implement required new or improved controls and procedures, our operating results could be harmed by increased regulatory compliance or remedial costs, and in addition, the price of our stock could decline. 

In the second quarter of 2007, resulting from comments by and discussions with the staff of the SEC related to our Preliminary Information Statement on Form 14C, we and our independent registered public accounting firm recognized that our internal controls had material weaknesses.  We restated our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 and our financial results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 as a result of our purchase accounting for the acquisition of New-Tailun completed on December 30, 2006.
43


In 2006 and 2007, we did not maintain effective controls to ensure the completeness, accuracy, and valuation over the accounting for business combinations, including the inability to prepare financial statements and footnotes in accordance with SEC rules and regulations and with our 2006 acquisition of New-Tailun. We misapplied generally accepted accounting principles whereby we did not value the acquisitions and record the resulting purchase accounting in accordance with SFAS 141 and EITF 02-5. As a result, we were required to restate our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2006 and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007.

During the two quarters of 2008, we corrected our internal control deficiencies, but we cannot be certain that the measures we took will ensure that we implement and maintain adequate internal controls in the future. If we fail to maintain adequate internal controls and if we cannot rectify the material weaknesses through remedial measures and improvements to our systems and procedures, management may encounter difficulties in timely assessing business performance and identifying incipient strategic and oversight issues. Such focus will require management from time to time to devote its attention away from other planning, oversight and performance functions.   Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations.

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 and equity securities.

We currently are not 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 ended December 31, 2007, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to include an internal control report with our Annual Report on Form 10-K. That report must include management’s 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, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to issue reports on management’s 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.
 
50

Achieving compliance with Section 404 within the prescribed period may require us to incur significant costs and expend significant time and management resources. If we are not able to complete our assessments as required under Section 404 in a timely manner, we would be unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2008. 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.

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. Although we have no current plans to implement modifications or upgrades to our systems, we will eventually be required to make changes to legacy systems and acquiring new systems with new functionality. We are considering additional investments in updating our ERP system to help us improve our internal control system and to meet compliance requirements under Section 404. We are also continuing to develop and update our internal information systems on a timely basis to meet our business expansion needs. Any information technology system disruptions, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated, could have an adverse effect on our business and operations.

We may engage in future acquisitions and strategic investments that dilute the ownership percentage of our shareholders 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, this may require the use of our cash, or we may incur debt or assume contingent liabilities.
  
44

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:
 
 ·incur significant unplanned expenses and personnel costs;
 ·issue stock that would dilute our current shareholders’ percentage ownership;
 
 ·use cash, which may result in a reduction of our liquidity;
 
 ·incur debt;
 
 ·assume liabilities; and
 
 ·spend resources on unconsummated transactions.  

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:
 
 · problems integrating the purchased operations, technologies, personnel or products over   geographically disparate locations;

 ·unanticipated costs, litigation and other contingent liabilities;
 
 ·diversion of management’s attention from our core business;
 
 ·Adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers;
 
 ·incurrence of acquisition-related costs or amortization costs for acquired intangible assets that   could impact our operating results;
 
 ·inability to retain key customers, distributors, vendors and other business partners of the acquired business;
 
 ·potential loss of our key employees or the key employees of an acquired organization; and
 
 ·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.

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 EU, 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:
  
45

 ·negatively affect the reliability and cost of transportation;
 
 ·negatively affect the desire and ability of our employees and customers to travel;
 
 ·adversely affect our ability to obtain adequate insurance at reasonable rates;
 
 ·require us to take extra security precautions for our operations; and
 
 ·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.

Risks Related to Doing Business in China

Because our assets are located overseas, shareholders may not receive distributions that they would otherwise be entitled to if we were declared bankrupt or insolvent.

Our assets are, for the most part, located in the PRC. Because our assets are located overseas, our assets may be outside of the jurisdiction of U.S. courts to administer if we are the subject of an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding. As a result, if we declared bankruptcy or insolvency, our shareholders may not receive the distributions on liquidation that they would otherwise be entitled to if our assets were to be located within the U.S., under U.S. bankruptcy law.

Export quotas imposed by the WTO could negatively affect our business and operations, particularly if the Chinese government changes its allocation of such quotas to us.

Pursuant to a World Trade Organization (WTO) agreement, effective January 1, 2005, the United States and other WTO member countries agreed to remove quotas applicable to textiles.  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, including certain classes of apparel products, arousing strong objection from China.

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 are subject to restraints. Additionally, 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 our apparel products fall within the categories subject to the safeguards in the U.S. and the EU, which could adversely affect our ability to export and sell these products, the imposition of quotas in 2005 did not have a material effect on our net sales, although it did impact our gross margin. The imposition of quotas have not had a material effect on our net sales or our gross margins from the time the quotas were instituted up to the present. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.  We believe that we will be able to obtain a sufficient quota allocation based on our experience in prior years.  In addition, we may bid for additional export quota allocation from the government for the U.S. and EU markets.  On a longer term basis, we believe that our customer mix and our ability to adjust the types of apparel we manufacture will mitigate our exposure to such trade restrictions in the future.
46


Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that additional trade restrictions will not be imposed on the exportation of our products in the future.  Such actions could result in increases in the cost of our products generally and may adversely affect our results of operations.
 
Adverse changes in economic and political policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China, which could adversely affect our business.
 
All of our business operations are currently conducted in the PRC, under the jurisdiction of the PRC government. Accordingly, our results of operations, financial condition and prospects are subject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. China’s economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including with respect to the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. While the PRC economy has experienced significant growth in the past 20 years, growth has been uneven across different regions and among various economic sectors of China. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic development and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall PRC economy, but may also have a negative effect on us. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us. Since early 2004, the PRC government has implemented certain measures to control the pace of economic growth. Such measures may cause a decrease in the level of economic activity in China, which in turn could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Unprecedented rapid economic growth in China may increase our costs of doing business, and may negatively impact our profit margins and/or profitability.

Our business depends in part upon the availability of relatively low-cost labor and materials. Rising wages in China may increase our overall costs of production. In addition, rising raw material costs, due to strong demand and greater scarcity, may increase our overall costs of production. If we are not able to pass these costs on to our customers in the form of higher prices, our profit margins and/or profitability could decline.
 
Fluctuation in the value of Chinese Renminbi (RMB) relative to other currencies may have a material adverse effect on our business and/or an investment in our shares.
 
The value of RMB against the U.S. dollar, the Euro and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions. In the last decade, the RMB has been pegged at 8.2765 Yuan to one U.S. dollar. On July 21, 2005 it was revalued to 8.11 per U.S. dollar. Following the removal of the peg to the U.S. dollar and pressure from the United States, the People’s Bank of China also announced that the RMB would be pegged to a basket of foreign currencies, rather than being strictly tied to the U.S. dollar, and would be allowed to float trade within a narrow 0.3% daily band against this basket of currencies. The PRC government has stated that the basket is dominated by the U.S. dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen and South Korean Won, with a smaller proportion made up of the British Pound, Thai Baht, Russian Ruble, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar and Singapore Dollar. There can be no assurance that the relationship between the RMB and these currencies will remain stable over time, especially in light of the significant political pressure on the Chinese government to permit the free flotation of the RMB, which could result in greater and more frequent fluctuations in the exchange rate between the RMB, the U.S. dollar, and the Euro. If the RMB were to increase in value against the U.S. dollar and other currencies, for example, consumers in the U.S., Japan and Europe would experience an increase in the relative prices of goods and services produced by us, which might translate into a decrease in sales. In addition, if the RMB were to decline in value against these other currencies, the financial value of your investment in our shares would also decline.
 
You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited, because our subsidiaries are incorporated in non-U.S. jurisdictions, we conduct substantially all of our operations in China, and a majority of our officers and directors reside outside the United States.
 
Although we are incorporated in Florida, we conduct substantially all of our operations in China through our wholly owned subsidiaries in China. The majority of our officers and directors reside outside the United States, and accordingly some or all of the assets of those persons are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against us or against individuals in China in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the PRC may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and officers.
47


As a result of all of the above, our public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against our management, directors or major shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation doing business entirely within the United States.
 
Risks Related to an Investment in Our Securities
 
Our common stock has limited liquidity.

Our common stock is traded on the American Stock Exchange, but it is thinly traded compared to larger more widely known companies in the same industry. Thinly traded common stock can be more volatile than stock trading in an active public market. We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained.
 
Our stock may be categorized as a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations which may limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

Our stock may categorized as a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities may be covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities.  We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

54

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

We expect to experience volatility in our stock price, which could negatively affect shareholders’ investments.

The market price for shares of our 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 our common stock include, but are not limited to:
 
 ·receipt of substantial orders or order cancellations of products;
 
 ·quality deficiencies in services or products;
48

 ·international developments, such as technology mandates, political developments or changes   in economic policies;
  ·changes in recommendations of securities analysts;
 
 ·shortfalls in our backlog, revenues or earnings in any given period relative to the levels expected by securities analysts or projected by us;
 
 ·government regulations, including stock option accounting and tax regulations;
 
 ·energy blackouts;
 
 ·acts of terrorism and war;
 
 ·widespread illness;
 
 ·proprietary rights or product or patent litigation;
 
 ·strategic transactions, such as acquisitions and divestitures;
 
 ·rumors or allegations regarding our financial disclosures or practices; or
 
 ·earthquakes or other natural disasters concentrated in Nanjing, China where a significant portion of our operations are based.  
 
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 our common stock price, we may be the target of securities litigation in the future. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources.

Conversion of our issued and outstanding convertible promissory notes into shares of our common stock will dilute the ownership interests of existing shareholders, including holders who will have already converted their notes.

The conversion of some or all of the notes into our shares of our common stock will dilute the ownership interests of existing shareholders. Any sales in the public market of the shares of common stock issuable upon such conversion could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our shares of common stock. In addition, the existence of the notes may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of the notes could depress the price of our shares of common stock.

To date, we have not paid any cash dividends and no cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and we may not have sufficient funds legally available to pay dividends. Even if the funds are legally available for distribution, we may nevertheless decide not to pay any dividends. We presently intend to retain all earnings for our operations.

Our common shares are not currently traded at high volume, and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell or liquidate a substantial number of shares at one time.

We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained.

Our common shares are currently traded, but currently with low volume, based on quotations on the American Stock Exchange, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is still relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that trading levels will be sustained.

Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by our principal shareholders and affiliated entities.
 
Our principal shareholders, including our officers and directors, and their affiliated entities own approximately 42% of our outstanding shares of common stock. These shareholders, acting individually or as a group, could exert substantial influence over matters such as electing directors and approving mergers or other business combination transactions. In addition, because of the percentage of ownership and voting concentration in these principal shareholders and their affiliated entities, elections of our board of directors will generally be within the control of these shareholders and their affiliated entities. While all of our shareholders are entitled to vote on matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, the concentration of shares and voting control presently lies with these principal shareholders and their affiliated entities. As such, it would be difficult for shareholders to propose and have approved proposals not supported by management. There can be no assurances that matters voted upon by our officers and directors in their capacity as shareholders will be viewed favorably by all of our shareholders.

The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under Florida law and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.

Our amended and restated Articles of Incorporation contain a provision permitting us to eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages to our company and shareholders to the extent provided by Florida law. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our employment agreements with our officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our company from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and shareholders.

Legislative actions, higher insurance costs and potential new accounting pronouncements may impact our future financial position and results of operations.

There have been regulatory changes, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and there may potentially be new accounting pronouncements or additional regulatory rulings that will have an impact on our future financial position and results of operations. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rule changes as well as proposed legislative initiatives following the Enron bankruptcy are likely to increase general and administrative costs and expenses. In addition, insurers are likely to increase premiums as a result of high claims rates over the past several years, which we expect will increase our premiums for insurance policies. Further, there could be changes in certain accounting rules. These and other potential changes could materially increase the expenses we report under generally accepted accounting principles, and adversely affect our operating results.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent material misstatements.
 
We are subject to reporting obligations concerning our internal controls, under the U.S. securities laws. The Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, adopted rules requiring every public company to include a management report on such company’s internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, an independent registered public accounting firm must attest to management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, and report on the effectiveness of these controls. These requirements will first apply to our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. Our management may conclude that our internal controls over our financial reporting are not effective. Moreover, even if our management concludes that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, our independent registered public accounting firm may still decline to attest to our management’s assessment or may issue a report that is qualified if it is not satisfied with our controls or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us. Our reporting obligations as a public company will place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. Effective internal controls, particularly those related to sales revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent material misstatements, or in certain extreme cases, fraud. As a result, our failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which in turn could harm our business and negatively impact the trading price of our stock. Furthermore, we anticipate that we will incur considerable costs and use significant management time and other resources in an effort to comply with Section 404 and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
