Lang specializes in the sale and distribution of industrial grade synthetic chemicals. It maintains a relationship with both the supplier and the customer, managing the logistics of the distribution channel. Lang is a distribution agent in the eastern section of China for manufacturers such as BASF YPC Co., Ltd, Celanese (China) Holding Co., Ltd and Lucite International (China) Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.

Products sold and distributed by Lang are used by customers as a raw materials in the production of a variety of finished products including paint, glue, plastics, textiles, leather goods as well as various medical products. Lang was founded in January 1998 by Mr. Chen and Ms. Zhu.

 

Lang generates revenues through a commission ranging from 3% to 5% of the sale, with the amount of commission varying depending on the product sold.

sold from their inventory. These chemicals, which include acrylic acid, butyl acrylate, methyl acrylate, vinyl acetate, glacial acetic acid, vinyl acetic, methanol and VAE, are typically subject to price fluctuations. Lang maintains a small inventory of these chemicals in an effort to supply the customer efficiently on short term notice and to reduce the impact of fluctuating prices. These smaller orders are generally less than 10 tons and are shipped to the customer directly from one of Lang’s storage centers. at a 3 % to 5% markup. Generally the customer pays the full amount of the order at the time the order is placed.

 

The balance of the approximately 80% of the Lang sales are derived from frequently used products which are shipped directly from the supplier to the customer. In most cases these are larger orders which Lang cannot supply from their inventory. Usually these larger orders are in excess of 10 tons and will be shipped from the suppliers to the clients directly. Lang will bill and collect payment from the customer. Generally customers will pay 10% to 20% of the purchase price as a deposit to Lang. Lang must pay the full balance to the suppler before the order is shipped. Upon receipt of the goods the customer will remit the balance of the payment for the order to Lang. Although Lang pays the suppliers upon receipt, the products can be returned with full refund only in the event there is an issue with quality.

The Company (Continued)

 

Lang maintains a small inventory of chemicals at various storage centers across the eastern section of China. Approximately 20% of Lang revenues are derived from sales made from inventory held by Lang. These orders tend to be smaller orders which can be supplied from the inventory of Lang. These chemicals typically are witness to price fluctuations and as such Lang maintains an inventory from which to supply customers. These chemicals such as acrylic acid, butyl acrylate, methyl acrylate, vinyl acetate, glacial acetic acid, vinyl acetic, methanol, VAE are chemicals which are in steady demand from the market. As such Lang maintains a small inventory of these chemicals in an effort to supply the customer efficiently on short term notice and to reduce the impact of fluctuating prices. In most cases, Lang remits full payment to the suppliers upon receipt of the products. Approximately 20% of Lang sales are derived from smaller orders of these chemicals sold from their inventory. These smaller orders are generally less than 10 tons and will be shipped to the customer directly from one of Lang’s storage centers. Lang will then sell the product from its own inventory at a 3-5% markup. Generally the customer pays the full amount of the order at the time the order is placed.

 

The balance of the approximately 80% of the Lang sales are derived from frequently used products which are shipped directly from the supplier to the customer. In most cases these are larger orders which Lang cannot supply from their inventory. Usually these larger orders are in excess of 10 tons and will be shipped from the suppliers to the clients directly. Lang will bill and collect payment from the customer. Ordinarily customers will pay 10%-20% of the purchase price as a deposit to Lang. Lang must pay the full balance to the suppler before the order is shipped. Upon receipt of the goods the customer will remit the balance of the payment for the order to Lang. Although Lang pays the suppliers upon receipt, the products can be returned with full refund only in the event there is an issue with quality.

 

Our function is to manage distribution of chemicals within China. Our distribution network covers the eastern section of China. We utilize storage centers in eastern China. These storage centers provide an infrastructure for Lang to support a distribution channel. These storage centers are comprised of storage tanks and warehouses from which we can store and then divert products to the customer. Liquid products are held in storage tanks, while solid or dry materials are held in warehouse space. Lang does not operate its own storage centers, each of the storage facilities are an unrelated third party. Lang uses the storage space on an as needed basis. The total storage cost for Lang was $27,056 USD for the period ending December 31, 2005 and $57,955 USD for the period ending December 31, 2004. In 2004 the storage related costs were higher due to uncharacteristically high levels of Glacial acetic acid derivatives in August 2004. For the month of August 2004, Lang incurred approximately $19,100 USD in storage expenses. Lang utilizes storage centers located in the following cities; Shanghai, Qidong City (Jiangsu Province), Jiangyin City (Jiangsu Province) , Zhangjiagang City (Jiangsu Province).

 

Lang has 6 salespersons in the Shanghai headquarters. These salespersons are employees of Lang. Salespersons are compensated with salary; they do not earn a sales commission. From time to time salesmen can potentially be awarded an annual bonus. Salespersons operate from the headquarters in Shanghai, traveling to other provinces for sales appointments. The main duty of the salesperson is to maintain good relationships with existing clients and develop new clients as well.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which are from five to ten years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value. For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, loans and amounts due from related parties approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenues streams of the Company: The Company's revenues from the sale of products are recorded when the goods are shipped, title passes, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Foreign Currencies

 

Transactions and balances in other currencies are converted into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52,"Foreign Currency Translation," and are included in determining net income or loss.

 

For foreign operations with the local currency as the functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated from the local currencies into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at weighted average exchange rates for the period to approximate translation at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates those elements are recognized in the financial statements. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive loss.

 

The reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company is the local currency, the Chinese dollar or Renminbi ("RMB"). The financial statements of the Company are translated into United States dollars using year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations and were not material during the periods presented due to fluctuations between the Chinese dollar ("RMB") and the United States dollar. The cumulative translation adjustment and effect of exchange rate changes on cash at December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $19,952 and $0 respectively.

 

On July 21, 2005, the central government of China allowed the Chinese dollar or RMB to fluctuate, ending its decade-old valuation peg to the U.S. dollar. The new RMB rate reflects an approximately 2% increase in value against the U.S. dollar. Historically, the Chinese government has benchmarked the RMB exchange ratio against the U.S. dollar, thereby mitigating the associated foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation risk. The Company does not believe that its foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation risk is significant, especially if the Chinese government continues to benchmark the RMB against the U.S. dollar.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense is based on reported income before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between asset and liability amounts that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes. These deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws. Valuation allowances are recognized to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the likelihood of realization, management considers estimates of future taxable income.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company uses Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130) "Reporting Comprehensive Income". Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of members' equity, except those due to investments by members, changes in members’ equity and distributions to members. For the Company, comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 included net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.

NOTE 11 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (Continued)

 

Under the terms of the stock exchange agreement, CDI China will acquire 51% equity ownership of Shanghai Lang Chemical Company Limited in exchange for an initial capital infusion of US$375,000 and a follow-up capital infusion of US$326,250 to be made on or before June 30, 2007. The agreement shall be effective as of October 1, 2006. The Company’s two shareholders, Messrs. Chen and Zhu each retained a 24.5% equity interest in Lang, and will remain as officers and will enter into employment agreements with CDI Shanghai Company, Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of CDI China, Inc., on or before October 31, 2006. The purchase price was determined based on the arm’s length negotiations and no finder ’s fees or commissions were paid in connection with the acquisition.

 

NOTE 12 OPERATING RISK

 

(a) Country risk

 

Currently, the Company's revenues are primarily derived from the sale of line of disinfectant product offerings to customers in the Peoples Republic of China (PRC). The Company hopes to expand its operations to countries outside the PRC, however, such expansion has not been commenced and there are no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve such an expansion successfully. Therefore, a downturn or stagnation in the economic environment of the PRC could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.

 

(b) Products risk

 

In addition to competing with other manufacturers of disinfectant product offerings, the Company competes with larger U.S. companies who have greater funds available for expansion, marketing, research and development and the ability to attract more qualified personnel. These U.S. companies may be able to offer products at a lower price. There can be no assurance that the Company will remain competitive should this occur.

 

(c) Exchange risk

 

The Company can not guarantee that the current exchange rate will remain steady, therefore there is a possibility that the Company could post the same amount of profit for two comparable periods and because of a fluctuating exchange rate actually post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of Renminbi converted to US dollars on that date. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in the political and economic environments without notice.

 

(d) Political risk

 

Currently, PRC is in a period of growth and is openly promoting business development in order to bring more business into PRC. Additionally PRC allows a Chinese corporation to be owned by a United States corporation. If the laws or regulations are changed by the PRC government, the Company's ability to operate the PRC subsidiaries could be affected.

The Company (Continued)

 

Lang maintains a small inventory of chemicals at various storage centers across the eastern section of China. Approximately 20% of Lang revenues are derived from sales made from inventory held by Lang. These orders tend to be smaller orders which can be supplied from the inventory of Lang. These chemicals typically are witness to price fluctuations and as such Lang maintains an inventory from which to supply customers. These chemicals such as acrylic acid, butyl acrylate, methyl acrylate, vinyl acetate, glacial acetic acid, vinyl acetic, methanol, VAE are chemicals which are in steady demand from the market. As such Lang maintains a small inventory of these chemicals in an effort to supply the customer efficiently on short term notice and to reduce the impact of fluctuating prices. In most cases, Lang remits full payment to the suppliers upon receipt of the products. Approximately 20% of Lang sales are derived from smaller orders of these chemicals sold from their inventory. These smaller orders are generally less than 10 tons and will be shipped to the customer directly from one of Lang’s storage centers. Lang will then sell the product from its own inventory at a 3-5% markup. Generally the customer pays the full amount of the order at the time the order is placed.

 

The balance of the approximately 80% of the Lang sales are derived from frequently used products which are shipped directly from the supplier to the customer. In most cases these are larger orders which Lang cannot supply from their inventory. Usually these larger orders are in excess of 10 tons and will be shipped from the suppliers to the clients directly. Lang will bill and collect payment from the customer. Ordinarily customers will pay 10%-20% of the purchase price as a deposit to Lang. Lang must pay the full balance to the suppler before the order is shipped. Upon receipt of the goods the customer will remit the balance of the payment for the order to Lang. Although Lang pays the suppliers upon receipt, the products can be returned with full refund only in the event there is an issue with quality.

 

Our function is to manage distribution of chemicals within China. Our distribution network covers the eastern section of China. We utilize storage centers in eastern China. These storage centers provide an infrastructure for Lang to support a distribution channel. These storage centers are comprised of storage tanks and warehouses from which we can store and then divert products to the customer. Liquid products are held in storage tanks, while solid or dry materials are held in warehouse space. Lang does not operate its own storage centers, each of the storage facilities are an unrelated third party. Lang uses the storage space on an as needed basis. The total storage cost for Lang was $27,056 USD for the period ending December 31, 2005 and $57,955 USD for the period ending December 31, 2004. In 2004 the storage related costs were higher due to uncharacteristically high levels of Glacial acetic acid derivatives in August 2004. For the month of August 2004, Lang incurred approximately $19,100 USD in storage expenses. Lang utilizes storage centers located in the following cities; Shanghai, Qidong City (Jiangsu Province), Jiangyin City (Jiangsu Province) , Zhangjiagang City (Jiangsu Province).

 

Lang has 6 salespersons in the Shanghai headquarters. These salespersons are employees of Lang. Salespersons are compensated with salary; they do not earn a sales commission. From time to time salesmen can potentially be awarded an annual bonus. Salespersons operate from the headquarters in Shanghai, traveling to other provinces for sales appointments. The main duty of the salesperson is to maintain good relationships with existing clients and develop new clients as well.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(Continued)

 

 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the certain financial instruments. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

 

Basis of Financial Statements

 

Lang Chemical maintains its records and prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in China. Certain adjustments and reclassifications have been incorporated in the accompanying financial statements to conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These adjustments were not recorded in the statutory books of account. The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Lang Chemical classifies highly liquid temporary investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories, consisting of raw materials and finished goods related to the Company's products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the first in first out method.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable consists primarily of amounts due to the company from normal business activities. The company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the expected non-collection of accounts receivable based on past collection history and specific risks identified within the portfolio. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, or if payments from customers are significantly delayed, additional allowances might be required. As of June 30, 2006, the company recorded allowance for doubtful accounts of $68,420.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which are from five to ten years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value. For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, loans and amounts due from related parties approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenues streams of the Company: The Company's revenues from the sale of products are recorded when the goods are shipped, title passes, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were immaterial for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

 

Foreign Currencies

 

Transactions and balances in other currencies are converted into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52,"Foreign Currency Translation," and are included in determining net income or loss.

 

For foreign operations with the local currency as the functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated from the local currencies into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at weighted average exchange rates for the period to approximate translation at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates those elements are recognized in the financial statements. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive loss.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2006

 

 

NOTE 1

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(Continued)

 

 

Foreign Currencies (Continued)

 

The reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company is the local currency, the Chinese dollar or Renminbi ("RMB"). The financial statements of the Company are translated into United States dollars using year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations and were not material during the periods presented due to fluctuations between the Chinese dollar ("RMB") and the United States dollar. The cumulative translation adjustment and effect of exchange rate changes on cash at June 30, 2006 were $26,496.

 

On July 21, 2005, the central government of China allowed the Chinese dollar or RMB to fluctuate, ending its decade-old valuation peg to the U.S. dollar. The new RMB rate reflects an approximately 2% increase in value against the U.S. dollar. Historically, the Chinese government has benchmarked the RMB exchange ratio against the U.S. dollar, thereby mitigating the associated foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation risk. The Company does not believe that its foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation risk is significant, especially if the Chinese government continues to benchmark the RMB against the U.S. dollar.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense is based on reported income before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between asset and liability amounts that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes. These deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws. Valuation allowances are recognized to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the likelihood of realization, management considers estimates of future taxable income.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company uses Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130) "Reporting Comprehensive Income". Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of members' equity, except those due to investments by members, changes in members’ equity and distributions to members. For the Company, comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 included net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.

SHANGHAI LANG CHEMICAL COMPANY, LIMITED

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2006

 

NOTE 5 OPERATING RISK

 

(a) Country risk

 

Currently, the Company's revenues are primarily derived from the sale of line of disinfectant product offerings to customers in the Peoples Republic of China (PRC). The Company hopes to expand its operations to countries outside the PRC, however, such expansion has not been commenced and there are no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve such an expansion successfully. Therefore, a downturn or stagnation in the economic environment of the PRC could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.

 

(b) Products risk

 

In addition to competing with other manufacturers of disinfectant product offerings, the Company competes with larger U.S. companies who have greater funds available for expansion, marketing, research and development and the ability to attract more qualified personnel. These U.S. companies may be able to offer products at a lower price. There can be no assurance that the Company will remain competitive should this occur.

 

(c) Exchange risk

 

The Company can not guarantee that the current exchange rate will remain steady, therefore there is a possibility that the Company could post the same amount of profit for two comparable periods and because of a fluctuating exchange rate actually post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of Renminbi converted to US dollars on that date. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in the political and economic environments without notice.

 

(d) Political risk

 

Currently, PRC is in a period of growth and is openly promoting business development in order to bring more business into PRC. Additionally PRC allows a Chinese corporation to be owned by a United States corporation. If the laws or regulations are changed by the PRC government, the Company's ability to operate the PRC subsidiaries could be affected.
