NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this report, including statements in the following discussion, may constitute forward-looking statements made pursuant to the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements concerning WLG Inc. (“WLG,” the “Company” “we”, “our” or the “Group”) and its future operations, plans and other matters. Any statements that involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using phrases such as “expects”, or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “anticipates“, or “does not anticipate”, “plans”, “estimates”, or “intends”, or stating that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “might”, or “will” be taken or occur, or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be “forward looking statements.”
The Company cautions readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in this document and in all of its communications to shareholders and others, including press releases, securities filings and all other communications. WLG also cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of WLG's management as well as on assumptions made by and information currently available to WLG at the time such statements were made. Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements, as a result of either the matters set forth or incorporated in this report generally or certain economic and business factors, some of which may be beyond the control of WLG. These factors include adverse economic conditions, entry of new and stronger competitors, inadequate capital, unexpected expenses, failure to gain or maintain approvals for the sale and expansion of WLG's services in the jurisdictions where WLG conducts its business, or the failure to capitalize upon access to new markets and those factors referred to or identified in Item 1A of our Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and other factors that may be identified elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q. WLG disclaims any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
|
Organization
WLG Inc. (“WLG”, the “Company”, or the “Group”) was incorporated in the name of Wako Logistics, Inc., on December 2, 2003, pursuant to the laws of Delaware in the United States of America, with authorized share capital of 100 million shares of common stock, par value of $0.001 per share. All outstanding common stock of 100 shares was issued to Mr. Christopher Wood (“CW”).
On January 8, 2004, WLG changed its name to Wako Logistics Group, Inc. On the same date, its authorized number of shares was reduced to 60 million shares, of which 55 million shares were common stock, and 5 million shares were preferred stock. 2 million shares, 1.7 million shares and 978,000 shares of the preferred stock were designated as Series A, B and C convertible redeemable preferred stock and issued in September 2005, June 2008 and June 2010 respectively. On September 24, 2010, WLG, filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to increase the Company’s authorized shares to 75 million shares, of which (a) 65 million shares are common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and (b) 10 million shares are blank check preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Amendment does not make any other changes to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation. In September 2010, 4 million shares of the preferred stock were designated as Series D convertible redeemable preferred stock but unissued as of March 31, 2011.
Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreements entered into between WLG and CW (and his nominee) on January 18, 2004, WLG consummated a combination with Wako Express (H.K.) Company Limited (“WEHK”) and Wako Air Express (H.K.) Company Limited (“WAE”) (collectively, “Operating Subsidiaries”) by the issuance of 20,000,900 shares of WLG common stock to CW in exchange for 100% of the outstanding stock of WEHK and WAE.
After the share exchanges, WLG became the parent and controlling company of the Operating Subsidiaries, and CW became the controlling stockholder of WLG. The transfer of CW’s interests in the Operating Subsidiaries to WLG was a reorganization of companies under common control and has been accounted for effectively as a pooling of interests. In May 2010, CW sold a sufficient number of his shares of WLG common stock to Jumbo Glory Limited (“Jumbo”), a privately held Hong Kong incorporated company, so that Jumbo acquired 51% of WLG’s common stock and became WLG’s controlling stockholder.
WEHK was incorporated in Hong Kong on June 4, 1982. Since its inception, WEHK’s principal activity has been the provision of sea freight forwarding services.
WAE was incorporated in Hong Kong on February 24, 1989, and since that date, WAE’s principal activity has been the provision of air freight forwarding services.
In July and November 2004, the Group established two 100% owned subsidiaries, Wako Express (China) Co. Ltd. (“WE China”) in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and Wako Express (China) Co. Limited (“WECCL”) in Hong Kong. WE China began business in China in February 2005 as a full-service freight forwarding company. WECCL had not commenced business as of March 31, 2011.

On April 1, 2005, WLG acquired 100% of the voting interests in Kay O’Neill (USA) LLC (“KON”), an Illinois limited liability company based in Chicago, Illinois. KON also had an office in Detroit, Michigan. KON changed its name to WLG (USA) LLC (“WLG (USA)”) in June 2005, and, as of the end of 2006, had discontinued the use of the name KON. The purchase price for KON consisted of a $1,000 cash payment and a professional fee of $50. WLG (USA) is a non-asset based freight forwarding company and provides freight forwarding and logistics services to its customers. Effective July 1, 2010, WLG (USA) merged with World Commerce Services LLC (“WCS”), which is a subsidiary of WLG and WLG (USA) ceased to exist as a business entity.
Effective October 1, 2005, WLG acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Asean Logistics, Inc. (“ALI”), a California corporation, in exchange for 250,000 restricted shares of WLG’s common stock. Concurrent with the acquisition, WLG, by way of a contribution to capital, transferred all of the ALI shares to WLG (USA).
ALI was a non-asset based freight forwarding company and provided freight forwarding services to its customers, which shipped products primarily between Asia and the United States. As of December 31, 2007, all of ALI’s administrative and accounting functions had been assumed by WLG (USA), and by June 30, 2008, all of remaining operations of ALI had been combined with those of WLG (USA).

(“WLG (Aust)”), a wholly owned Australian subsidiary of WLG, completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Asean Cargo Services Pty Limited (“Asean”) in exchange for 3.5 million restricted shares of WLG’s common stock. An additional 1.3 million shares of WLG’s restricted common stock was issued to the sellers of Asean in 2007 in recognition of Asean achieving certain financial goals during the fifteen-month period ended December 31, 2006.
Founded in 1984 and based in Sydney, Australia, Asean also has offices in Melbourne and Brisbane and maintains relationships with cargo agents in all of Australia’s mainland states. Asean provides freight forwarding and logistics services, as well as customs brokerage services, to its customers, most of whom ship products primarily between Asia and Australia.
In February 2006, WLG formed two United Kingdom (“UK”) subsidiaries, WLG (UK) Holdings Limited (“WLG (UK) Holdings”) as a first tier subsidiary and WLG (UK) Limited (“WLG (UK)”) as a subsidiary of WLG (UK) Holdings. Effective September 15, 2006, WLG (UK) acquired for cash the operating assets and assumed limited liabilities of a division (“UK Division”) of a UK freight forwarding and logistics company. This UK Division, which operated in Manchester, UK, provided sea and air freight forwarding, customs clearance and warehouse logistics services, mostly to UK based customers. These activities are now carried on by WLG (UK).

(“MSA”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Sea Systems Ocean Line, Inc., (“Sea Systems”) (collectively, the “MSA Group”). MSA, which was incorporated on May 15, 1979, in Washington, provides freight forwarding and customs brokerage services to its customers. Sea Systems, incorporated on February 26, 1991, in Washington, was a non-asset based freight forwarder and provided air and sea freight forwarding and related logistics services to its customers. As of June 30, 2008, all of Sea Systems’ operations had been combined with those of MSA. MSA mainly serves customers that ship products from Asia to the US. Effective December 31, 2009, MSA merged with WCS and MSA ceased to exist as a separate entity.
On July 31, 2007, the Group acquired all of the membership interests in WCS. WCS is based in Schaumburg, Illinois, and also has offices in New York, Atlanta and Los Angeles. It is a non-asset based freight forwarding company and provides a full range of logistics and customs brokerage services to its customers, specializing in freight imports from Asia, mostly by sea, and with an emphasis on imports from China.
On December 7, 2007, the Company filed an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to change the Company’s name from Wako Logistics Group, Inc. to WLG Inc., which became effective December 21, 2007.
Basis of preparation
As of March 31, 2011, all subsidiaries are wholly-owned and all material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying financial data as of March 31, 2011, and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, have been prepared by the Company, without audit.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

On July 1, 2008, the Group issued a $600 promissory note to CW, dated July 1, 2008, (the “Note”) to set forth, among other things, the interest rate and repayment terms for $600 that CW had previously loaned to the Group. The Note bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum and was to be repaid in twelve monthly installments of $50, with the first installment due on January 31, 2009. Upon maturity of the Note, CW has agreed that payments due under the Note may be deferred on a month-to-month basis. Principal payments of $30 had been made to CW as of March 31, 2011.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
|
On August 27, 2010, WEHK issued a $1,000 promissory note to a third party which bears interest at 6% per annum and is due on August 27, 2011. No monthly payments of principal are due under the terms of this note. At any time prior to the maturity date, the promissory note holder may convert all or a portion of the principal amount into shares of Series D convertible redeemable preferred stock of WLG at a conversion price of $0.25 per share by sending written notice to the Company. The Series D Preferred Stock may be converted by the holder from time to time into a maximum of 4 million shares of the Company’s common stock.
In Mar 2011, WCS was granted a $1,000 loan from the existing promissory note holder for financing WCS’s working capital which bears interest at 6% per annum.

Issuances of Series A Preferred Stock
|
In September 2005, WLG approved the designation of a new series of preferred stock, which consists of 2 million shares of preferred stock designated as Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). Effective as of September 30, 2005, WLG’s controlling stockholder (the “Holder”) subscribed to all of the Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for $1,500 in debt represented by a Promissory Note in the face amount of $1,000 and other debt of $500 owed to the Holder by the Company. At the option of the Holder, the promissory note was convertible into shares of WLG’s common stock at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the common stock, or (ii) $0.50. Thus, the minimum number of shares of common stock the Holder could have received on conversion of the promissory note would have been 2 million shares.
The Series A Preferred Stock has a stated, liquidation and redemption value of $0.75 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock shall pay a 6% annual cumulative dividend, and for purposes of determining the amount of the 6% dividend, the Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have a stated value of $0.75 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock has a conversion price of $0.50 per share and may be converted, at any time at the option of the holder into a maximum number of 2 million shares of common stock.
The Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed solely by and in the sole discretion of WLG at any time or from time to time commencing on the date twenty four (24) months from the date of issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, provided, at the time of redemption, WLG has at least three (3) Directors on its Board of Directors, of which the majority of such Directors are “independent” (as such term is defined in Section 121(a) of the American Stock Exchange Company Guide). In addition, WLG has the right to require the Holder to convert all of the Series A Preferred Stock to common stock in the event of certain change of control transactions. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, a majority of the directors were not independent and the conditions for a redemption had not been met. No Series A Preferred Stock has been converted or redeemed.

Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
|
On June 30, 2008, the Company entered into a conversion agreement with CW, the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer, director and controlling stockholder, pursuant to which CW and the Company agreed to convert $1,700 of outstanding loans that CW had made to the Company into 1.7 million shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”). In connection therewith, in June 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the designation of a new series of preferred stock consisting of 1.7 million shares of authorized, but unissued, shares of preferred stock designated as Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001. The Series B Preferred Stock was issued on June 30, 2008. The Series B Preferred Stock may be converted by the holder at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.70 per share. The Series B Preferred Stock has a stated, redemption and liquidation value of $1.00 per share, and shall pay an annual cumulative dividend equal to 12% of the stated value per share.
The Company may require a conversion in the event of a change in control of the Company. Commencing 24 months after the date of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company has the right to redeem all or a portion of the outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock at a price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment. In addition, commencing on the earlier to occur of 24 months after the issuance date, CW’s retirement or his holding less than 50.1% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, CW may cause the Company to redeem any or all of his outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, at a price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment.
Pursuant to the waiver agreement dated June 1, 2010, WLG and CW have agreed to waive certain terms of the Series B Preferred Stock so that effective June 1, 2010, and extending through December 31, 2011, the annual dividend rate on the Series B Preferred Stock shall be reduced from 12% to 8% per annum. Due to the change in control of the Company that occurred in May 2010, CW had the right to require a redemption and the Company had the right to seek a conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. Neither party exercised its conversion or redemptions rights for the Series B Preferred Stock.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock were included in interest expense in the amounts of $34 and $51, respectively.

Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
|
On May 14, 2010, Jumbo transferred $978 to WLG which was later applied to the purchase of the Series C Preferred Stock. In June, 2010, WLG entered into a securities purchase agreement with Jumbo, the controlling stockholder of WLG, pursuant to which Jumbo purchased 978,000 shares of the Company’s newly issued Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”). In connection therewith, in June 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the designation of part of 5,000,000 shares authorized but unissued preferred stock of WLG into a new series of preferred stock consisting of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock designated as Series C Preferred Stock, par value $0.001, and the Series C Preferred Stock was issued on June 3, 2010. The Series C Preferred Stock may be converted by the holder at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share. The Series C Preferred Stock has a stated, redemption and liquidation value of $1.00 per share, and shall not pay a cash dividend.
The Company may require a conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock in the event of a change in control of the Company. Commencing 24 months after the date of issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company has the right to redeem all or a portion of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment. Since the issue of the Series C Preferred Stock no event has occurred that would allow the Company to require a conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock.
WE China is a wholly-owned foreign investment enterprise (“WOFIE”) incorporated in the PRC. Under the laws and regulations applicable to a WOFIE, such enterprises are required to maintain certain statutory reserves for specific purposes, which include a general reserve, an enterprise development fund and a staff welfare and bonus fund. The board of directors of WE China shall determine on an annual basis based on its PRC statutory financial statements the amount to be transferred to statutory reserves.
Minimum annual transfers to statutory reserves must be at least 10% of a WOFIE’s after tax profit which shall be determined in accordance with the PRC accounting rules and regulations. Annual transfers to the general reserve shall continue until such reserve balance reaches 50% of a WOFIE’s registered capital. The general reserve can only be utilized to offset prior years' losses or as additional paid-in capital. No distribution of the remaining general reserve shall be made other than upon liquidation of WE China.
No after tax profit has been appropriated to the general reserve in respect of the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, as the transfers are to be made based on the PRC Subsidiary’s statutory financial statements at the completion of its fiscal year.

In April 2005, the board and stockholders of the Company approved the Wako Logistics Group, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan, which is effective until April 19, 2015, provides for awarding stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock to its officers, employees, directors and consultants, as well as to officers, employees, directors and consultants who provide services to any of the Group’s subsidiaries or affiliates. The Plan is administered by the board, provided, that the board may appoint a committee to administer the Plan. At the inception of the Plan, 4,000,000 shares of common stock were approved for the issuance of awards under the Plan, which amount shall be automatically increased (but not decreased) to 20% of the total number of the Company’s shares of common stock issued and outstanding on January 1st of each year beginning on January 1, 2006. Based on shares outstanding as of January 1, 2011, the number of shares reserved under the Plan is 6,176,019.
In general, stock options awarded under the Plan vest over three years and expire in a maximum of ten years from their effective dates. However, the Plan permits the board to grant options with varying terms, such as changing the vesting period, the term and/or exercise price. Once the board, under provisions of the Plan, grants an option, the Company will estimate the fair value of the option, and compensation expense will be recognized over the vesting period of the option.
Effective January 15, 2007, the board approved and awarded stock options to three employees permitting them to purchase an aggregate of 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The vesting period for the January 2007 options is 3 years, and these options were fully vested during 2009. The options related to purchase of 15,000 shares of the Company’s common stock lapsed upon the termination of employment of two employees during 2010.
Effective January 8, 2008, the board approved and awarded stock options to an employee for the purchase of 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The vesting period for the January 2008 options is 3 years, and these options were fully vested during 2010.
Effective December 1, 2008, the board approved and awarded stock options to an employee for the purchase of 150,000 shares of Company’s common stock. The vesting period for December 2008 options is 2 years. The options lapsed upon the termination of employment of this employee during 2009.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENT (CONTINUED)

Effective July 1, 2010, the board approved and awarded stock options to an employee for the purchase of 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The option was immediately vested upon issue.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under ASC 718, the compensation expense related to the fair value of stock options charged to the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, was $Nil and $1, respectively. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there was no future compensation expense related to non-vested options. The total intrinsic values of the options outstanding and options exercisable as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, were zero. No tax benefit was recognized for the stock option expense recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions:

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
|
The Company’s assets and liabilities recorded at fair value have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820. Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are based on other observable market data, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, such as interest rates and yield curves. Level 3 inputs are developed from unobservable data reflecting the Company’s assumptions, and include situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, deposits, prepayments and other current assets, prepaid tax, trade payables, other accrued liabilities, amounts due to directors, bank overdraft and bank loans contained in the consolidated balance sheet approximates fair value.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
|
As of the date that this quarterly report is filed, there are no recently issued accounting pronouncements which adoption would have a material impact on the WLG’s consolidated financial statements.
The Group has evaluated subsequent events up to the date that these consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
WLG Inc. (“WLG,” the “Company,” or the “Group”) is an international, non-asset based logistics company that provides air and ocean freight forwarding, contract logistics, customs brokerage and other supply chain management services to its customers from its offices in Hong Kong, the People's Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”), Australia, the United States (“US”), the United Kingdom (“UK”) and through a worldwide network of independent cargo agents.
WLG's business is conducted by its operating subsidiaries, which, as of March 31, 2011, included the following entities: Wako Express (HK) Co. Ltd. (“WEHK”), Wako Air Express (HK) Co. Ltd. (“WAE”), Wako Express (China) Co. Ltd. (“WE China”), Asean Cargo Services Pty Limited (“Asean”), WLG (UK) Limited (“WLG (UK)”) and World Commerce Services, LLC, (“WCS”) dba WLG USA LLC.
WLG was incorporated in Delaware on December 2, 2003, under the name Wako Logistics, Inc., and, in January 2004, changed its name to Wako Logistics Group, Inc. In December 2007, we changed our name to WLG Inc. Under our certificate of incorporation, we were initially authorized to issue 100 million shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. On the date of our first name change, we reduced the number of authorized shares to 60 million, of which 55 million shares were designated as common stock, and 5 million shares were designated as blank check preferred stock. Immediately following the formation of WLG, Mr. Christopher Wood (“Mr. Wood”) became our sole shareholder. On September 24, 2010, we filed a certificate of amendment to our restated certificate of incorporation to increase the our authorized shares to 75 million shares, of which 65 million shares are common stock, and 10 million shares are blank check preferred stock.
Pursuant to certain Share Exchange Agreements entered into on January 18, 2004, between us and Mr. Wood (and his nominee), we consummated a combination with WEHK and WAE by issuing 20,000,900 shares of our common stock in exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of WEHK and WAE. After these share exchanges, WEHK and WAE became wholly-owned subsidiaries of WLG. Following this transaction, Mr. Wood owned all 20,001,000 shares of our common stock then issued and outstanding. In two transactions occurring on February 8, 2010, and May 11, 2010, Mr., Wood sold a sufficient number of his shares of WLG’s common stock to Jumbo Glory Ltd. ("Jumbo"), a Hong Kong based private company, to allow it to acquire 51% of WLG’s common stock. Effective with the second transaction that was completed on May 11, 2010, Jumbo became the majority shareholder of WLG.
WEHK was incorporated in Hong Kong on September 4, 1982, and carries on the business of arranging sea freight shipments, both export and import, for its customers between Hong Kong and the rest of the world, with a concentration, historically, on the Asian-Australian trade lanes, and, more recently, on the trade lanes running from Asia to the US and Europe.
WAE was incorporated in Hong Kong on February 24, 1989. Its business is dedicated to handling air freight shipments, both export and import, between Hong Kong and the rest of the world, particularly to Australia, but also to the US and Europe.
All of our Asian operations have been conducted through our two Hong Kong based subsidiaries since January 18, 2004, (the date we acquired WEHK and WAE) and through WE China, following commencement of business by it in February 2005.
On April 1, 2005, we completed the acquisition of all of the voting interests in Kay O'Neill (USA) LLC, an Illinois limited liability company. Kay O'Neill operated a US based logistics business, which primarily served US customers by providing services similar to those offered by the Group in Asia and elsewhere. At the time of the acquisition, Kay O'Neill had only one office in the US, which was in Des Plaines, Illinois. As part of the process of creating brand identity for the Group in the United States, Kay O'Neill, on June 29, 2005, changed its name to WLG (USA) LLC and began immediately to operate as WLG (USA). In June of 2005, WLG (USA) opened an office in Taylor, Michigan. As of July 1, 2010, WLG (USA) merged with WCS and ceased to exist as a business entity.
Pursuant to the Closer Economic Partnership Agreement (“CEPA”) concluded in September 2003, between Hong Kong and the PRC, Hong Kong incorporated companies were granted the right to establish wholly-owned enterprises in China to provide a full-range of logistics services. In July 2004, our Hong Kong subsidiary, WEHK, which qualified under the provisions of the CEPA, formed WE China, a wholly-owned subsidiary in the PRC. WE China began operations in February 2005, and now provides logistics support and freight forwarding services for air and sea exports and imports between China and the rest of the world. WE China has nine offices in China, including offices in what we believe are four of China’s most important commercial centers: Beijing; Shanghai; Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
Effective October 1, 2005, WLG acquired all of the voting stock of ALI, a company incorporated in September 1999 in California and based in Torrance, California. ALI was a non-asset based freight forwarding company and provided traditional freight-forwarding services to its customers for shipments between Asia and the United States. As of June 30, 2008, all of ALI’s operations had been combined with those of WLG (USA). Prior to the acquisition, WLG and ALI worked closely together pursuant to the terms of an agency agreement.
On November 9, 2005, WLG, through a newly formed and wholly-owned Australian subsidiary, WLG (Australia) Pty Ltd. (“WLG Aust”), completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Asean, a non-asset based freight forwarding and logistics company. Incorporated in March 1984 and based in Sydney, Australia, Asean also has offices in Melbourne and Brisbane and maintains agency relationships with other freight and logistics companies in all of Australia's mainland states. Asean provides a full range of transportation, logistics and customs brokerage services to its customers, with an emphasis on shipments in the Asian-Australian trade lanes. Prior to WLG's acquisition of Asean, both companies had worked closely with each other for over 20 years, providing transportation and logistics services to the customers of the other through an agency agreement.
In February 2006, WLG formed two United Kingdom (“UK”) subsidiaries, WLG (UK) Holdings as a first tier subsidiary and WLG (UK) as a second tier subsidiary, to make acquisitions and conduct business in the UK. Effective September 15, 2006, WLG (UK) acquired the operating assets and assumed limited liabilities of a division (“UK Division”) of a UK freight forwarding and logistics company (“UK Co.”). At the date of this acquisition, UK Co. was in bankruptcy proceedings in the United Kingdom. As such, WLG (UK) purchased for cash the operating assets of UK Division on an “as is” and “where is” basis. This UK Division, which operated in Manchester, UK, provided sea and air freight forwarding and warehouse logistics services, mostly to UK based customers. These activities are now carried on by WLG (UK). Prior to this acquisition, the Group and UK Co. had worked together in a limited capacity with several mutual customers.
On December 1, 2006, we acquired all of the voting shares of MSA and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sea Systems, (“MSA Group”). MSA, which was incorporated on May 15, 1979, in Washington, provides customs brokerage and freight forwarding services to its customers. Sea Systems, incorporated on February 26, 1991, in Washington, is a non-asset based freight forwarder and provided air and sea freight forwarding and related logistics services to its customers. The MSA Group mainly serves customers that ship products from Asia to the West Coast of the U.S. for onward shipment to locations throughout the country. Historically, the business of the MSA Group had been more focused on its customs brokerage practice rather than on its freight forwarding operations. Prior to its acquisition by WLG, the MSA Group and WLG had not worked together. As of the end of 2008, all of the activities of Sea Systems had been assumed by MSA, and, as of December 31, 2009, MSA merged with WCS and ceased to exist as a business entity.
Effective July 31, 2007, WLG acquired all of the membership interests of WCS in exchange for WLG common stock and cash. WCS, organized in Illinois in January 2004, is the successor to a company of the same name, which began business in 1976. Like its predecessor, WCS is a non-asset based freight forwarding company and provides a full range of air and sea freight forwarding, logistics and customs brokerage services. It serves a wide range of customers that primarily import products by sea from Asia, with a heavy emphasis on shipments from China. In addition to its head office in Schaumburg, Illinois, WCS has offices in Long Island, New York, and Los Angeles, California. Prior to the acquisition, the Group and WCS had not worked together. As of July 1, 2010, and following its merger with WLG (USA), WCS began to operate under the name of WLG USA, LLC.
With the exception of performing administrative, oversight and regulatory tasks, the Group’s parent company, WLG Inc., carries on no other business activities.
Overview
We are a global, non-asset based freight forwarder providing supply chain logistics services, including freight forwarding, customs brokerage and Value Added Services (“VAS”) to our customers. We do not own or operate any transportation assets such as aircraft, ships, trucks, river barges or railroads. Instead, we contract with companies that own and operate commercial transportation assets of all types as a means of providing both regional and international freight forwarding services to our customers.
As part of the services we perform, we coordinate the storage of raw materials, supplies, components and finished goods and arrange their shipment by air, sea, river, rail and road to and from most major production, trading and consumer locations throughout the world. Historically, the Group has concentrated on freight shipments originating in Asia, and mostly in Hong Kong and China for shipment to Australia and, to a lesser extent, to Europe. However, as a result of its US acquisitions, the Group is now focusing more of its attention on the US market.
Our revenues are generated from the air, sea and local freight transportation services that we arrange, customs brokerage services we perform and the VAS we provide such as scanning, pick and pack, price ticketing and the warehousing of goods. We believe that our customers benefit from the extensive experience we have in arranging the transportation of freight, performing customs clearance services and providing VAS in the many countries in which we operate and/or in which we maintain agency relationships. For our freight forwarding business, our experience allows us to focus on large cargo shipments, because these types of shipments normally require the use of advanced tracking systems and access to sophisticated logistical networks in many countries, which we have established over the past many years.
Freight Forwarding and Value Added Services (VAS)
Due to the volume of shipments we arrange, we are generally able to negotiate buy rates for transportation services that are lower than the rates our customers could negotiate directly with transportation providers. Often, the shipping rates we negotiate may be influenced by the volumes of freight that we arrange to have shipped. As a result, our customers, by having us arrange their freight shipments, may benefit from lower rates, and we, in turn, may benefit by increasing our revenues and operating profits.
A significant portion of the expenses for our freight business is variable and relates directly to the amounts and volumes of shipments we book. Direct transportation costs are our largest variable expense. Personnel costs represent the second largest expense for our freight operations. Over time, we have gained the necessary experience to allow us to project our staffing needs based on the number of customer orders we fulfill. Nonetheless, staff costs are less flexible than other variable costs so that, in the short term, we may not be able to adjust our staff levels for unexpected peaks and downturns in our business.
We derive a significant portion of our air freight revenues from the consolidation of cargo from a number of customers. In this segment of our business, we always seek to combine a mix of light and heavy cargo in order to optimize the ratios of weight and cubic capacity for all air freight shipments. In general, this improves our profitability on shipments where we are able to achieve this mix.
In order to ensure that we are able to maintain an “inventory” of cargo space on air carriers, we may have to commit to use a minimum amount of space with certain airlines prior to receiving orders from our customers. To the extent we do not use such space; we incur a liability to the airlines. In the normal course of our business, we seek to minimize the risk of loss from these minimum utilization contracts with the airlines by carefully gauging customer demand and by entering into arrangements with other freight forwarders whereby they take and pay for the excess cargo space that we are unable to fill. However, we do not have the ability to require our customers to ship minimum amounts, and, as such, we are not able to pass this risk on to our customers.
We also have contracts with ocean shipping lines pursuant to which the shipping lines provide us with a certain amount of container space at agreed rates over a period of time. Under the normal operating practices of this industry, shipping lines often do not charge freight forwarders for space they are unable to utilize. However, if an ocean shipping line did choose to enforce the stated terms of these contracts, we would incur a liability to the extent we did not use the allocated space or was unable to sell it to other freight forwarders.
As part of our freight forwarding business, we often provide Value Added Services (VAS) to our customers. The provision of VAS continues to be a necessary and important part of our business and may cover a wide range of supply chain services. As an example, we provide some or all of the following VAS to our customers: pick and scan; pick and pack; co-packing; bar code printing; labeling and price tagging at both the carton and item levels. At the carton level, each carton remains unopened, which makes this a simpler service than labeling individual products. In contrast, at the item level, each individual item may, as in the case of apparel, be processed by size and color, which requires advanced information technology capabilities.
VAS that we provide may also involve receiving goods from one or multiple factories on behalf of a customer - often an overseas retail buyer - and warehousing such goods prior to packing the goods in individual containers for shipment to the customer's distribution centers or retail outlets. Goods are often shipped “store ready”, meaning they are sorted and price-tagged, ready for sale in each retail location. We see the demand for VAS increasing because a large portion of a retailer's higher labor and storage costs may be “exported” to lower-cost locations, such as China, thus bypassing costly de-consolidation and distribution centers in the customer's home country. With the continuing economic downturn, we are seeing an increased interest on the part of our customers to seek low-cost logistics and distributions services. Thus, performing these services at the point of shipment in the country of manufacture may provide a more efficient and less costly means for a customer to store and distribute its products. Performance of VAS relies on the application of a wide range of information technologies, and requires an ability to receive, process and provide shipping and inventory information from and to our customers on a time-sensitive basis. Our billings for VAS vary with the type of services performed, but they are often based on a per-piece count measured by the actual number of units we store and prepare for shipment.
Customs Brokerage Operations
We have customs brokerage practices in our offices in Sydney, Australia, Manchester, England, Seattle, Washington, Los Angeles, California and Schaumburg, Illinois. In each location, we acquired an existing business. Customs brokerage services are performed both for freight and brokerage customers as well as for brokerage only customers. While the complexity of customs services may vary from one jurisdiction to another based on the specific governmental regulations of each country, the nature of the services are similar worldwide. In general, customs brokerage services include preparing all documentation required for the clearance of goods through customs and, for some customers, the collection of funds for the payment of import duties to the appropriate governmental agencies. In addition, as part of our customs work, we often provide ancillary services which may include assistance with customs examinations, advice on duty rates and regulations and the local delivery of goods.
As part of our customs practice, we may be required, because of competitive pressures, to advance funds on behalf of our clients to pay the duty on their import shipments. These advances represent a considerable use of cash and do carry a credit risk for us. For this reason, we maintain stringent checks on the creditworthiness of all brokerage customers. Normally, countries have electronic payment procedures which allow importers to make payments directly to the government customs agency, and we have implemented programs to encourage and assist our customers to use these payment facilities. If our customers do remit customs duties directly to their respective governmental agencies, we benefit by not outlaying our cash, as well as avoiding the credit risk on the cash advances we might otherwise provide.
The net income we earn from our brokerage practices is generally less than the net income we earn from our freight-forwarding and VAS operations. However, operating a brokerage practice gives us a competitive advantage in some locations and a level playing field in others, which helps us to attract and retain more profitable freight forwarding and VAS customers.
Generally, billings for customs brokerage services are based on the number of freight clearances we perform for a particular customer and may often include the costs and mark-up for ancillary services such as arranging for the local delivery of goods and the preparation, pick-up and delivery of documentation for such shipments. The amounts we bill are normally similar to what other brokerage companies charge in a specific geographical area. Personnel costs are the largest expense for this segment of our business. Lastly, because this part of our business tends to be stable and recurring, we are able to estimate with a fair degree of certainty what our personnel needs are for each of our customs practices.

WLG maintains a wide network of independent cargo agents in many cities around the world. All of our arrangements with these agents are on a non-exclusive basis. And, under these arrangements, none of the agents is authorized to make commitments or to execute any contracts on our behalf. In most cases, the fees earned for transporting a shipment from the point of origin to the point of destination are shared 50:50 with our overseas agents, whether the shipment originates with us or the overseas agent. In some cases, billings to and from out agents may include additional charges for other transportation and logistics services.
We work with overseas agents which have offices in strategic cities around the world. In addition, we may be represented by more than one agent in many cities, and we do not generally need to rely on a single agent in any one city.
In addition to performing freight forwarding support services for us, these agents are an important sales and marketing resource. By relying on these agents to help us obtain new business and market our services, we may be able to expand our global activities without the costs typically associated with the ownership and maintenance of company-owned offices. Given the importance of overseas cargo agents to our business, we think it is critical that senior management be involved on a regular basis to maintain and strengthen these working relationships. Our mutual goal is to provide and receive increased business through our network of cargo agents. Lastly, our costs to retain these agency relationships are nominal, and mostly include only management time and travel costs. However, because we normally have to split our fees with these cargo agents, the profit we earn per job is less than what we would earn if our own offices handled both the import and export sides of a shipping transaction. In addition, it is more difficult to ensure the same level of service to a customer when part of the work for a shipment is performed by an independent agent.

Other Operating Expenses
Salaries and allowances
Salaries and related expenses decreased by $0.35 million, from $4.51 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $4.16 million for the same period in 2011. The decrease was mainly attributable to cost controls in the US and UK locations along with a reduction in staff at the Australian location.
Rent
Rent expense for our facilities increase from $0.47 million for the first quarter of 2010, to $0.57 million for the same period in 2011. The increase is mainly attributable to the new warehouse facilities of Asean.
Other selling and administrative expenses
Other SG&A expense totaled about $1.54 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $1.41 million for the same period in 2010, for an increase of $0.13 million.
Depreciation and Amortization
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, depreciation expense for property, plant and equipment was $0.13 million, compared to $0.11 million for the same period in 2010, for an increase of $18,000. The increase was mainly due to acquisition of new office and IT related equipment.
Amortization expense is attributable to the customer lists acquired in the acquisitions of WLG (USA), Asean, and WCS. In connection with the acquisition of WLG (USA), we recorded a customer list asset of $0.51 million, which is now being amortized on a straight-line basis over 4 years. Asean's customer list was valued at $1.56 million and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 8 years. WCS’s customer list was valued at $2.84 million and is being amortized over 9 years. In addition, the Group periodically reviews the book value and estimated useful lives of its intangible assets to ensure that the rate of amortization is consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits to be received from its intangible assets. This review for 2009 resulted in the Group recognizing an impairment charge of $0.72 million to WCS’s customer list. In 2008, a similar review indicated that the remaining useful lives for the intangible assets of WLG (USA) were 4 years. Due to this review, the useful life of the intangible assets of WLG (USA) was extended from 1.25 years to 4 years effective from January 1, 2009. For both the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, amortization expense totaled $0.11 million, and is attributable to WLG (USA), Asean and WCS in the approximate amounts of $8,000, $49,000 and $51,000, respectively.
Interest Expense
Interest expense grew from $0.18 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, to $0.24 million for the same period in 2011, for an increase of about $66,000. The increase was mainly due to higher bank borrowing of WCS, and the additional loan interest of US$30,000 incurred by WEHK for a loan of $1 million from a shareholder and for a promissory note of $1 million.
Provision for Income Taxes
A income tax benefit of $98,000 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to income tax expenses of about $38,000 provided for the same period in 2010. Income tax of $8,000 was provided a Hong Kong subsidiary. Asean reported a net loss of $0.39 million and a tax benefit of $0.11 million was provided. The remaining subsidiaries reported a net loss and no tax benefit were recorded.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our operations provided cash of approximately $1.37 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to cash of $0.78 million used by operations for the same period in 2010.

As of March 31, 2011, certain banks in Hong Kong and China had issued bank guarantees of $0.64 million to several airlines on behalf of WAE and WE China. With these guarantees, the airlines, in turn, grant credit terms to WAE and WE China. In general, payments for air freight shipments must be made to the airlines prior to the time we receive payments from our customers. These guarantees are secured by cash of approximately $0.64 million held in restricted bank accounts.
An Australian bank has provided a guarantee of about $0.14 million in favor of the owner of the office premises occupied by Asean. In addition, a UK bank has provided a guarantee of $0.48 million to the UK Customs and Excise Department for the benefit of WLG (UK). In return for this guarantee, the UK Customs and Excise Department grants credit terms to WLG (UK). A parent company guarantee has been given to the UK bank. In addition, a parent company guarantee has been given as support for the rental obligations related to WLG (UK)’s office and warehouse facilities. This latter guarantee is limited to an amount equal to three years rent plus rates at the date the guarantee is enforced. As of March 31, 2011, our contingent obligation under this guarantee was about $0.94 million, plus assessed rates.
In January 2010, WEHK borrowed $0.32 million for use as general working capital, and this loan is repayable in equal installments over five years. As of March 31, 2011, the outstanding balance of this loan was $0.25 million.
In December 2009, WAE borrowed $0.26 million for use as general working capital, and this loan is repayable in equal installments over five years. As of March 31, 2011, the outstanding balance of this loan was $0.20 million.
During 2010, WEHK issued a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $1.0 million to a majority shareholder. The promissory notes carried an interest rate at 6% per annum. In addition, in August 2010, WEHK received a loan of $1.0 million from an individual. The loan will bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum and be convertible into newly designated shares of WLG preferred stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share.
Asean has a revolving loan facility in the face amount of approximately $4.12 million, which is secured by, and based on, 100% and 80% of its accounts receivable, respectively. It also has an overdraft facility with a limit of about $0.70 million. At March 31, 2011, Asean's bank debt under its revolving loan and overdraft facilities was $1.96 million and $0.70 million, respectively, with interest rates of approximately 10.86% for the receivables line and 9.96% for the overdraft facility. Asean's bank, in addition to having a charge over all of its accounts receivable, holds a first registered mortgage over all of its remaining assets. Asean’s overdraft facility is guaranteed by the Group’s parent company.
For our US operation, the original loan facility expired on February 28, 2010 and was not renewed. Instead, in February 2010, WCS and WLG (USA) obtained a one-year revolving banking facility of $3.0 million from another lender, This new loan facility, which permits borrowings equal to 78% of eligible receivables and carries a minimum interest rate of 9.5% per annum, is secured by all of the assets of WCS and WLG (USA) and by a guarantee from the Group’s parent company. In addition, an origination and commitment fee totaling 2% of the loan facility, a monthly collateral management fee of 0.35% per month of the outstanding loan balance and certain other charges are payable for this loan facility. Effective July 6, 2010, WCS’s bank amended the $3.0 million revolving loan facility to increase it by $1.0 million to a face amount of $4.0 million. In exchange for the additional credit facility of $1.0 million, WCS paid an origination fee to the bank equal to 1% of $1.0 million, and paid all of the bank’s legal fees in connection with amending the loan agreement. The loan facility was renewed for another year on February 28, 2011. The renewed loan carried a decreased minimum interest rate of 7.5%, decreased fees totaling 1% of the loan facility and an increase in the advance rate to 85% of eligible receivables. As of March 31, 2011, WCS owed approximately $1.40 million under this loan facility.
In March 2011, our US subsidiary received a loan of $1.0 million from an individual. This loan will bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum
In our past reports, we have expressed a strong intent to continue executing our business plan, which, among other things, called for us to make strategic acquisitions to supplement our internal growth. In 2005, we completed the acquisitions of three freight forwarding and logistics companies, one of which had a customs brokerage business. We followed this in 2006 by acquiring two freight forwarding and customs brokerage companies. In July of 2007, we acquired WCS, which operates both a freight forwarding business and customs brokerage practice. In May of 2009, we hired approximately 10 individuals that had previously worked with an international freight forwarding company in New York. Several of the new employees have strong business connections in Asia and specialize in air-freight shipments in the US-Asia trade lanes. We paid no cash to hire these individuals, but we did incur some capital costs and also added office space to our existing branch office in New York. Late in 2009 and during the first quarter of 2010, we added over twenty new employees to our operations in Hong Kong and China without incurring any outlay of funds, except for on-going salaries. All of these individuals previously worked for a large multi-national freight forwarding and logistics company and have strong backgrounds in sales, air-freight forwarding and logistics. During 2010, the Group raised additional operating funds by selling a new Series C Preferred Stock and a 6% note to Jumbo Glory Ltd., its majority shareholder, in the amounts of $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively. In the third quarter of 2010, the Group sold a 6% note to an individual investor in the amount of $1.0M. In the first quarter of 2011, the individual investor provided another loan to $1.0 million to the Group. The Group will continue to look for opportunities to raise additional funds to order to grow our existing business and improve our profitability.
Our approximate contractual cash obligations as of March 31, 2011, for the periods shown are set forth in the table below and are expected to equal approximately $0.77 million per month over the following twelve months.
