Prior Operations of Trip Tech
 
Trip Tech was incorporated in Texas on November 17, 2006 to enter the online travel industry and to establish a large scale, full service online travel company. Immediately prior to the Exchange, Trip Tech was a development stage internet-based travel company operating with a functional “branded” travel website. Since Trip Tech’s inception, Trip Tech established its corporate existence as a publicly held corporation, raised founder capital, and designed and installed a functional “branded” travel website. As of the date immediately prior to the Exchange, Trip Tech had not been able to raise additional funds through either debt or equity offerings. As a result of the foregoing, Trip Tech began to explore its options regarding the development of a new business plan and direction. On August 12, 2008, Trip Tech consummated the Exchange with SkyAce and the Stockholder.

Our common stock is currently traded on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “WLOL”. Immediately prior to the Exchange, Trip Tech was considered a “blank check” company with US$40,963 in assets and a net loss of US$34,965 for the fiscal year ending February 29, 2008.  On the date of the closing of the Exchange, the Company did not have any liabilities.

Summary of Current Business of the Company
 
The Company is a comprehensive, modern international shipping company having its world headquarters based in China. The Company is mainly engaged in a comprehensive range of international shipping and logistics services such as bulk cargo transportation, chartering, shipping agents, logistics, ship trading, spare parts supplies, crew recruitment and shipping porter operation, as well as relevant industry news and data analysis and advertising.
 
The Company's core business is international bulk cargo transportation. It has an ocean shipping fleet with 13 vessels, with self-owned carrying capacity of nearly 200,000 tons.  Through monthly voyage charter and time charter, the Company can provide carrying capacity of about 1,000,000 tons with shipping lines to major ports around the world.
 
In addition, the Company owns and operates China's largest shipping industrial online portal called “Shipping Online” which is accessed on the internet at http://www.sol.com.cn. This website functions as a business platform, providing on-line and off-line integrated international shipping and logistics services, such as bulk cargo chartering, container booking, shipping agents, ship trading and building, spare parts supplies, crew recruitment, as well as shipping news and data analysis; the off-line operating team is made up by industrial elites and a logistics network comprised of branches in Beijing, Tianjin, Dalian, Yingkou, Qingdao, Zhangjiagang, Lianyungang and Shanghai. These branches collectively provide a full service system with a combination of integrated group and localized branches.
  
Providing the comprehensive shipping and logistics services through the internet is not only the innovation and creation of the Company, but also the basis of transition for the entire shipping industry from the traditional business model to a modern business model. The Company believes it will create a broad space for development and lead the accelerated development of the entire shipping industry.
 
Through the above integrated business, the Company has a history of profitability.  The operating revenue of 2006 reached US$59.2 million, of which net profit was nearly US$7.4 million; as the global shipping market had a breakthrough in development, the Company has achieved annual operating revenues of US$70.3 million in 2007, net income of US$21.4 million, enjoying approximately 200% growth as compared with 2006. The operating revenue of 2008 reached $85.6 million, net income of $19.0 million.
 
Due to the impact in 2008 by the global financial crisis, the Company believes its growth rate will decrease in 2009. To take advantage of the current slump in the shipping markets, the Company intends to steadily expand its capacity and enlarge the size of its ocean transport fleet. The Company intends to continue to push forward with its comprehensive shipping and logistics services with Shipping Online.

Brief History of the Company’s Shipping Business
 
The Company was founded in 1993 as a chartering business. Since the market was dominated by State-owned enterprises at that time, the attitude and level of service was generally not satisfying to customers. Li Honglin, the founder of the Company, seized the opportunity to privately establish the Company by himself, giving full play to the advantages of service and price. The Company gradually received recognition from a large number of corporate customers.
 
With gradual accumulation of capital and experience, as well as an acute grasp of market trends, the Company leased its first vessel in 1995. In 1997, in light of the outbreak of the Southeast Asian financial crisis, the global shipping market experienced a downturn. Having an optimistic view on market prospects and a stable support of customer resources, the Company seized the opportunity to lease more vessels at a lower price, becoming a ship owner by direct purchase of vessels in 1998. After 2000, the Company expanded its fleet through the purchase of between 3-4 ships annually.

By the end of 2004, in order to become a modern comprehensive shipping company with sustainable development and innovation potential, the Company developed a strategy to provide traditional maritime services on the internet and created a new industry business and profitability model by integration of traditional shipping services and internet e-commerce.
 
To achieve this strategic planning, at the end of 2004 the Company launched the famous domestic online shipping portal “Shipping Online” and began providing network-based shipping services. Shipping Online is a maritime shipping portal and integrates traditional business practices into designing and developing on-line services for the most important parts of the international shipping industry. Shipping Online provides comprehensive platform solutions, and includes an industry trading platform and business operations platform based on our original information and marketing platform.
 
The operating income directly and indirectly generated from e-commerce services generated by Shipping Online has become an important added component of the Company’s revenues as well as an enormous publicity value which we believe will continue to advance the Company’s growth beyond the original shipping business of the Company. Winland International provides one-stop, multi-level professional shipping services in each link of the value chain through Shipping Online.
  
Market Segments of the Company
 
Bulk Cargo Transportation and Chartering
 
The three (3) main categories for international sea transportation are bulk cargo, container liner transport and oil and gas transport, of which bulk cargo transport occupies more than a forty percent (40%) market share and is generally considered the most important market segment of the shipping industry.
 
The bulk cargo transportation market can be further divided on the basis of the tonnage. The industry uses the following terms to describe such subsets of the bulk cargo transport market (from large to small size): The Capesize vessels market, the Panamax vessels market, the Supramax vessels market and the Handysize vessels market. The Company's fleet is primarily concentrated in the latter two categories, namely, the Supramax and Handysize vessel markets.
 
The Company conducts its shipping business through the Plentimillion Group and its two (2) main businesses are dry bulk shipping (voyage chartering and time chartering) and vessel chartering. During the fiscal years ended 2008 and 2007, 67% and 66% of SkyAce’s revenue was generated from dry bulk shipping revenues, respectively.
 
E-Commerce & Comprehensive Logistics Services
 
E-commerce services of the shipping industry mainly provide various professional services to enterprises in shipping, logistics, foreign trade, ship, marine, and other areas. Therefore, e-commerce services of the shipping industry have corresponding market segmentations in accordance with their respective customer groups and type of services. The three (3) most common market segments are as follows:
 
 
6

 


 
·
Shipping Information Services. Shipping websites of this type provide shipping information, statistics and data, market analysis, comments, transaction reports and other information services. Website sponsors are mainly research institutions and media with a full range of government background, such as “Chinese Shipping” by the Shanghai Shipping Exchange, the “CNET” by "China Shipping Weekly" under the Chinese Association of Traffic and Transportation. These shipping websites provide information services mainly by relying on their ability to obtain and report information, but without any business transaction information. This is the most common e-commerce service subset in the shipping industry.
 
 
·
Shipping Transactions. With the popularity of e-commerce services, more and more shipping companies understand that the internet is playing an increasingly important role on when they conduct business. Therefore a large number of shipping companies have begun to release information on their own products and services on the internet for promotion and the ability for customers to search their product. Such trend has formed an online trading market for the purpose of online transactions. If the shipping company timely posts information to benefit cargo owners and charter companies it will enhance the operational efficiency of vessels. When ship-owners desire to conduct ship trading, they can now choose to release relevant information on a shipping portal, resulting in more buyers and sellers to choose from yielding a better return. Shipping e-commerce websites of this type mainly provide a platform for business information and inquiry services and a direct link between member companies who can make off-line transactions and provide a trading platform for exchanges on business information. This is the second most common e-commerce service subset in the shipping industry.
 
 
·
Shipping Operations. The ultimate goal for enterprises is to not only access information but also to effectively use such information in actual business transactions. The two subsets above merely provide business with access to information. In order to enable customers to complete a transaction, Shipping Online assists customers in completing transactions directly through its network as an agent. As an agent, Shipping Online provides bulk cargo chartering, container online booking, spare parts and materials supply online services and ship sales. Such services go beyond the simple model of providing information by providing a practical and efficient operational platform for its member shipping companies.

Market Share and Competition
 
Bulk Cargo Transportation
 
In the segment markets of Supramax and Handysize vessels for bulk cargo transportation, with 13 self-owned vessels and ships by voyage charter and time charter, the Company’s transport capacity is approximately 1 million tons monthly, which is in the medium-sized level in Far East region with higher visibility and influence. For decades of service with stability and quality help it to consolidate a large number of loyal clients including some Chinese State-owned large enterprises such as China Capital Steel, China Bao Steel, China Minmetals, China National Petroleum and China Petrochemical, and other famous international enterprises, including Japan’s MARUBENI, MITSUBISHI and NIPPON, Korea’s POSCO and LG, Singapore’s LIVEN and Switzerland’s STEEL BASE. Set forth below is a compilation of some of our brand name clients:

With respect to competition, the Company competes with about 5 large State-owned shipping enterprises in China like COSCO, China Shipping and we also compete with approximately 100 small shipping companies (companies generally having 5 or less vessels). The Company generally ranks among the top 10 in its industry class with respect to size. The competitive advantages and disadvantages for each class of competition (including the Company’s current situation) are as follows:

Enterprise Type
 
Main Advantages
 
Main Disadvantages
China Large State- Owned Enterprises (approximately 5 enterprises)
 
· large fleet with strong transport capacity 
 
· Easy acquisition of large state cargo owners as a State-owned enterprise 
 
· High visibility and marketability 
 
· Rich resources, favorable policies
 
· Low efficiency and slow market reaction
 
· Difficulty with cost control
 
· Weak service awareness, unstable staff
 
·Operation without flexibility and autonomy
         
The Company
 
·Advanced operation model, high-level internet application
 
 ·Flexible decision-making of management, fast market reaction
 
 ·Good cost control and scale effect
 
 ·Stable staff, rich market experience
 
 ·Strong service awareness and innovation
 
·Single vessel with small transport capacity, cargo resource constraints 
 
·Relative small fleet size
 
·Little government background, little favor policy
 
·Narrow financing and low growth rate
         
Small Shipping Companies (approximately 100 enterprises)
 
·Flat-styled management, relatively high efficient decision-making
 
 ·Good service awareness, quick market reaction
 
·Small-sized fleet, inefficient transport capacity
 
·Lack of industrial experience, unstable customer resources
 
·Single business, weak risk control
 
·High cost, no scale effect

From the comparison above it can be seen that the Company is a modern shipping company with innovative thinking. Compared with China's large state-owned enterprises, we have some constraints and relative disadvantages, however we believe we also have great potential for development. If the Company can rapidly expand its fleet size, update its capacity configuration and continue to reap the advantages of internet application and software strength, we believe it is possible to rapidly expand the scale of business and to access to larger space for our development in the future.
 
E-Commerce (Comprehensive Logistics Services)
 
There are less than ten (10) websites in the shipping industry in China, and Shipping Online’s website http://www.sol.com.cn is the leading website overall in the industry. With respect to the e-commerce market subsets, Shipping Online is still a market follower with respect to what we call “Shipping Information Services” (the obtainment and dissemination of industry information such as news and statistics) and thus, cannot provide information in the most-timely fashion compared with our State-owned competitors. However, we have adopted a competitive strategy of providing the most comprehensive and systemic shipping information through Shipping Online.
 
With respect to the industry subsection of the e-commerce market we call “Shipping Transactions”, Shipping Online was the first company to enter into such market, has the most experience with such market and is generally considered a leader in the provision of such services. The Company has rich experience in the shipping business and the Company’s management has laid a solid professional foundation for the design of online products and offline consulting services.
 
With respect to the industry subsection we call “Shipping Operations”, which is much more professional and complex, namely, the providing direct online operation to shipping enterprises, Shipping Online is the first e-commerce enterprise to deal directly with the shipping orders. On the one hand, we have stable business orders through Shipping Online, on the other hand our professional offline team can deal with orders in a timely manner, and provide the operations at the scene through local subsidiaries and member enterprises.
 
With respect to competition, Shipping Online is the first company in China to promote shipping services on the internet and is the first company to put it into practice. Therefore, we are unique in a vast majority of the online operations without competition in such areas. Through long-term practice and experience, we have established a relatively high entry barrier and therefore own a competitive advantage, which we believe will enable us to maintain the competitive edge for a long time in the future.

Shipping Online’s management team is very familiar with the shipping industry and has a profound understanding and grasp of the business needs of shipping companies, which provides products and services tailored to the needs of shipping companies and an unparalleled professional practicality. It is difficult for competitors to learn and imitate in a short period of time. Even if they can fully copy the shipping webpage, they cannot easily obtain the professional experience of our operational processes and off-line support. Once the business needs have changed, the internet services and processes must continuously adjust and optimize in order to meet the specific needs of enterprises. Thus, rapid market reaction and adjustment are problematic barriers for competitors in a short term.
 
Furthermore, an online order must be achieved under the professional support of an off-line team. An e-commerce portal only provides information and cannot complete transactions. It is at best a distribution center of information. Shipping Online’s off-line operational team entered the shipping market in 1993 and has more than 10 years of operational experience with freight forwarders, cargo agents, shipping agents, bulk cargo carting, sale and maintenance, spare part supply and other fields of application. The efficient systematic matching between off-line operations and online orders is a significant barrier for competitors.
 
The Company’s Products and Services
 
Introduction
 
As one of the most comprehensive modern international shipping companies in China and Asia based on the Internet, the Company is mainly engaged in a comprehensive range of online and off-line international shipping services such as bulk cargo transportation, chartering, shipping agents, international logistics, ship trading, spare parts supplies, crew recruitment and shipping porter operation, as well as relevant industry news and data analysis and advertising.
 
Comprehensive Business of the Company

 
10

 
 
Bulk Cargo Ocean Transportation Services
 
The Company has 13 self-owned vessels, with transport capacity of about 200,000 tons. Offering vessels by “voyage charter” and “time charter”, the Company’s transport capacity is approximately 1 million tons monthly for main lines in the world. The Capacity of a single vessel is from 3,000 tons to 40,000 tons. Our vessels sail under the Flags of St. Vincent, Malta, China and Hong Kong. The vessels are able to carry various types of cargo and provide multi-level and wide range of maritime transport services.

Online Chartering Services
 
The Company’s online chartering services are transaction services specifically designed for ship owners, charter agents, and various trading companies to achieve efficient interactions between ships and cargo (that is, matching suitable cargo for a suitable ship). To achieve this goal, we provide a service that automatically matches ship and cargo information in terms of ports, so that our on-line members can directly search by port name (or other key word) and use the information to meet their business needs.
 
To provide our online members fast, efficient and convenient transactions, our website has established a special chartering operation team which not only collects ship and cargo information from around the world, but also directly provides agency services to our members. Utilizing our experienced ship and cargo agents, members save on the cost of finding their counterparts on their own. At present, we have a staff of 10 persons that rely on information provided by our members every day and on various types of empty ship information, and our team also uses their own channels to collect information. They can provide online interactions to hundreds of vessels and provide professional, efficient chartering services for many ship and cargo owners.
 
Online Container Booking Business
 
Container booking is an important aspect of importing and exporting, and one that is unavoidable to many small and medium-sized cargo owners. Considering costs and efficiency, shipping companies generally do not provide direct booking services to small and medium-sized cargo owners. Instead, they authorize several major professional agents to accept booking, and costs related to such logistics increase for each additional agent. Generally speaking, agents are regional and unitary, that is, they only have certain advantages in their respective city or line, while the trading company often is not subject to the restrictions of geographical and export lines. Therefore, they sometimes are required to choose a number of agents to provide services which increases their operational complexity and management costs.
 
Shipping Online fully understands the problems that such traditional model brings to cargo owners. We offer online booking that makes use of the advantages of the internet in the dissemination and gathering of information collected with respect to container export booking orders of the same route from main port cities. This allows our members to reduce the number of intermediaries and as a result, obtain a lower price. Shipping Online reduces the costs of transportation for cargo owners and offers a more stable supply for shipping companies. Following this “gathering cargo resources, centralizing purchase” principle, when we launched online booking services, we obtained recognition by cargo owners and laid a good foundation for the market. The Company developed a profit model from such innovation through chartering for cargo owners and providing relevant operation services. We obtained profits of both price difference and operational fees. Based on the import and export of 100 million TEUs in China in 2007, this market size is at least US$5 billion (“TEU” means “twenty-foot equivalent unit”, an industry standard term used to describe a cargo container 20 feet long and 8 feet wide).

Online Ship Trading, Building and Maintenance Services
 
There are two main models of ship trading, building and maintenance services available in Shipping Online. One is a self-help transactions model among member companies, that is, member companies freely distribute information on or search for ship trading or maintenance or building information of all kinds and directly establish contacts with each other and then consummate a deal; the other main model is that we are appointed by a member to complete a transaction whereby the Company generates a 1% -3% commission from such transactions.
 
In order to increase the quantity and quality of information on ship trading, we encourage domestic member enterprises to release more information. We rely on an English version of the website as well as foreign channels of long-established cooperation in order to obtain abundant international ship trading information and thus serve as a communication bridge between domestic and foreign market.
 
With respect to ship repairing and manufacturing services, China has become the world's second largest shipbuilding base second only to the South Korea, and there has been a growing number of foreign shipping companies making shipbuilding orders to domestic repairing and manufacturing factories. We provide updated information on the competitive products and production capacity offered by these factories on our multilingual website for customers, accept shipbuilding inquiries abroad as a representative of ship owners and generate a commission equal to 1% -2% of the shipbuilding price.
 
Online Supplies Services of Spare Parts and Materials
 
With China's rapid economic development, China has become the world's processing factory. With respect to ship spare parts and common materials, China's products of good quality at a low price are recognized by the world over. The procurement of spare parts and materials are often made when a ship is calls at a port in China. However, language and other barriers often result in poor communication and low efficiency of procurement. Common practitioners are generally local small companies, and there is no domestic large-scale supplier in China. In fact, in accordance with the estimates on the above market, procurement of spare parts and materials in China and abroad every year reaches US$3 billion. Therefore in accordance with international norms on spare parts manuals, we provide over 100,000 categorized types of spare parts and materials on our website, and we accept online orders 24-hours a day. Such online marketplace greatly improves the accuracy and efficiency of procurement and is in line with our core network of suppliers for spare parts and materials and ship agents established in major cities in China. Goods are distributed quickly to the vessel at low cost, which is ideal for foreign shipping companies.
  
Online Crew Recruitment Service
 
The online recruitment services provided by Online Shipping are different from ordinary talent recruitment services in light of the stringent international restrictions for qualifications on different levels of work. Crew members are certified by professional service providers and therefore, we have developed an online crew recruitment system to account for the four (4) integral customer groups: ship owners, crew service companies, crew training schools and crew members. Recruiting information and training information are published by the employing units and resumes are posted by crew members so as to achieve an optimal allocation of human resources. With the continued prosperity of the international shipping market in recent years, the crew market, especially the senior crew market, is facing a serious shortage. Thus, the crew recruitment service market is full of great opportunities. Through steady development over seven (7) years, the online crew recruitment channel in Shipping Online has become China's leading platform for large-scale recruitment of crew members. Because many ship owner companies access Shipping Online for its offering of crew recruitment services, we believe Shipping Online has laid a good foundation for the Company to promote other business services to these member enterprises.

Shipping Online Information Services
 
Shipping Online provides comprehensive professional news services on ships, ports, maritime and trade for member companies. Through various channels we collect and summarize information on major industrial events with a global scope. We also gather statistical data in various fields to release in Shipping Online in categories for free reading by member companies so as to enhance customer loyalty.
 
In addition to industry news, statistics and other industrial information, we provide market price indices, transaction reports, analyses and other decision support information, particularly in several major businesses in the shipping industry, such as the Baltic series indices and market comments, the tankers transport market index, prices and comments on new ships, second-hand ships and the ship-dismantling markets, international fuel market prices and comments, the China Costal Bulk Freight Index and market analysis and the China Containerized Freight Index. These professional information services provide an important platform for member companies to understand markets and expand their businesses.
 
Shipping Online Marketing Platform Services
 
Compared with traditional media such as television, newspapers and magazines, internet media is more cost-effective, especially for a non-popular industry such as the shipping industry. Industrial portal advertising values are much higher than that of news portal sites because customer groups are more concentrated and pure in industrial portals and advertisements therein are much more persistent. Many shipping companies have come to realize these points and in recent years, they have gradually expanded their promotion investment in the network. We believe that the industrial portals are the best platforms for marketing activities of small and medium sized enterprises.
 
Shipping Online, a vertical portal in the shipping field, provides to its member companies a series of marketing services such as enterprise website building, network advertising, corporate interviews and event reports, to help increase member company visibility rapidly and to promote the business growth of such enterprises. Our advertising clients include American ABB, Germany MARES, Singapore Singhai Marine Services, the Hong Kong Supermar Machinery, China Marine and Seaman Service, Yingkou Port Affairs Group, Xiamen Port Affairs Group and International Shipping Agency ISB.

Developmental Strategies of the Company

Growth Strategies
 
We have established a two-step strategy for the development of the Company. The first step is to enhance the integration of competitive business, such as bulk cargo transport and the online business of Shipping Online, and gradually turn the original business team to off-line operations of Shipping Online and provide comprehensive shipping services based on the internet, namely, “improve the offline business based on the internet”. The second step is to further intensify the marketing promotion of e-commerce platform and network building of Shipping Online once Shipping Online matures and stabilizes its online business, and to expand the sources and increase the number of online business orders. We believe the expansion of our online business will bring about steady expansion of the off-line business, and the model can be reproduced in other major shipping countries in the world. We believe Shipping Online will eventually become one of the most comprehensive, modern shipping and logistics service providers in the industry.
 
Sales Strategies

The Company acts as a modernized shipping company which supplies comprehensive shipping logistics services based on the internet. The Company has the following sales strategies:
 
 
·
Internet Sales Strategy. In light of lower efficiency and higher costs, the traditional shipping operating model is becoming the choke point of further development in the shipping industry. However, the emergence of e-commerce offers a clear way of breaking through the choke point. Shipping Online is one of the most famous and most influenced portal websites in the field of the shipping logistics. Every day, a mass of member companies log on the internet to issue and inquire about all kinds of shipping supply and demand information. This can supply the Company with a steady source of information for developing its business. Through active feedback from member companies, the Company can reduce the costs of expanding its business and gain considerable sales income. At the same time, we believe that Shipping Online will be able to expand its popularity and influence, such as advertising in the search engine and the plane media, co-organizing important exhibitions about the industry, and organizing and undertaking all types of selection activities.
 
 
·
“From Point to Surface” Sales Strategy. The shipping logistics comprehensive services offered by the Company through Shipping Online can supply shipping companies with overall business solutions. Usually, member companies will approach our website in order to obtain a certain service, however they realize after being exposed to all of the other services we offer that they need several other services. Our “from point to surface” sales strategy aims to first assist the member in solving its initial business issue or issues, and then introduce such member to our overall products and services, and encourage the member to introduce these services to its colleagues. Also, we will offer favorable package discounts. We believe such strategy will help us expand our business and increase our sales.
 
 
14

 

 
·
Member Developing Member” Sales Strategy. Many of the member companies of the Shipping Online contact us actively through introductions made by their friends. We pay great attention to the public praise promotion between the clients. We encourage the existing member companies to introduce other companies to join the Shipping Online and to provide discounts or awards to such members for their contribution to the development of the customers in order to expand our sales.
 
 
·
Bit By Bit Local Sales Strategy. As a China-based shipping company, the Company divides its primary sales objects into three (3) parts according to its scale of business and regional advantage. The Company will input the advantage resources in turn from inner to outside according to the chart below. We will supply familiar clients in familiar markets with preponderant services in order to maintain stable corporate operations and efficient use of our resources.
 
            Sales Channels
 
The Company has been focusing on two channels. First, the Company has sought cooperation with the medium and large cargo owners and trading companies with long term transport agreements. Second, the Company has joined several agency groups. The Company reports its vessels’ open schedule to, and will receive cargo information from, the agents. This can increase the velocity and operating efficiency of the ships. These two sales channels cannot work without Shipping Online. Other than these two sales channels and the implementation of our sales strategies as discussed above, we mainly rely on telemarketing. We believe we will gradually rebuild and expand the range and scale of business of the existing branches, and build sales and service branches within China and abroad in port cities to supply the localized demographic services. We will demonstrate and promote network solutions directly to the shipping companies in order to increase the sales effects. In small and medium sized cities, we are planning to develop an agency sales network and target local companies which have a good reputation and recognize the corporate pattern of development in order to cooperatively build a profitable sales and services network.
 
Business Development
 
Plan For Expanding Transport Capacity. In order to further increase the scale effect of our fleet transport and to supply our clients a more convenient and well rounded maritime transport service, we are planning to renew and expand the capacity of our transport business by importing larger ships (Panamax and Capesize). Not only would this increase the variety of cargo transported, but this would increase the variety of targeted clients. We are actively increasing the Company’s level of internet and information application, increasing the operating efficiency and reducing operating costs in order to more closely supply clients with more transparent services.
 
Planning For Promotion of Shipping Online. With respect to network promotion, the Company will implement measures to ensure that our website appears more frequently and more prominently in online search engines.  With respect to traditional media, we plan to carry on integration and promotion in shipping magazines and newspapers at home and abroad in order to increase our image. Additionally, we are planning to put up a billboard in the area of the port docks of the important port cities in order to reinforce our brand image of the Shipping Online in the shipping industry, the logistics industry and foreign trade industry.

 
15

 

Plan For Technical R&D. The Company’s technical R&D planning is divided into three parts: one is to enforce the technicality and convenience of the Shipping Online’s services through increasing the research and understanding to the needs of the clients; another is, for the shipping companies, to develop business operational systems which can be installed and used in the client’s local computers based on the internet information resources; another is to continue to speed up the integration of inside and outside information of the shipping companies, and develop corporate information portal system which can cover the entire supply chains.
 
Planning for the National Marketing Network. With the increase of the membership companies of the Shipping Online and the continued expansion of the comprehensive internet-based services, we need to build a sales and service network covering the national main port cities, to shorten the response time of customer services and increase the speed of solving problems. In 2009, the Company intends to alter and rebuild the existing eight branches, including those in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Qingdao, Dalian, Yingkou, Zhangjiagang and Lianyungang, to meet the needs of the membership sales and member service of the Shipping Online.  From 2009 to 2010, the Company intends to complete the construction of the branches in such port cities as Ningbo, Xiamen, Shenzhen (or Guangzhou) and Guangxi province.  After 2010, the Company intends to select between 10 to 15 freshwater port cities and other grade one or two inland cities to develop a sales agency network, and to form a marketing and services network which covers the main national customers.
 
Planning for the Expansion of Personnel. The Company attaches great importance to the cultivation of professional talents, especially those who are accomplished in the shipping industry and in the internet e-commerce industry. In order to cooperate with the establishment of the branches above, the Company will continue to train and employ qualified management talent. Through continuously improving the Company’s corporate management structure, management systems and retention of talent and promotion practices, the Company provides its personnel with a favorable working atmosphere and opportunity for development.  The Company will continue to improve its hiring, human resources development, performance evaluation and training management practices.

VIEs - Businesses in Shipping Agency, Freight Forwarding and Online Services

The Company applied the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46R “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”), an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. FIN 46R which requires a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIEs or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns.

 
23

 

To comply with PRC laws and regulations, the Company provides substantially all its shipping agency and freight forwarding services and online services in China via its VIEs. These VIEs are wholly-owned by certain related parties or directors of the Company. The Company entered into exclusive technical service agreements with the VIEs as of March 31, 2008 under which the Company provides technical and other services to the VIEs in exchange for substantially all net income of the VIEs. All voting rights of the VIEs are assigned to the Company and the Company has the right to appoint all directors and senior management personnel of the VIEs. In addition, shareholders of the VIEs have pledged their shares in the VIEs as collateral for the non-payment of fees for technical and other services due to the Company.

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, balance sheets of all VIEs have been included in the consolidated/combined balance sheets of the Company. The Company adopted SFAS No. 141 statement, which requires the consolidated/combined financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 be presented as though the transfer of net assets or exchange of VIEs’ interests had occurred at the beginning of the period. Income statements of all VIEs have been included in the Company’s consolidated/combined statements of income and comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

The following is a summary of the VIEs of the Company:

(s)          Dalian Winland International Shipping Agency Co. Ltd. (“DWIS”) is incorporated under the laws of the PRC. The principal activity of DWIS is shipping agency services.

(t)           Dalian Winland International Logistic Co. Ltd. (“DWIL”) is incorporated under the laws of PRC. The principal activity of DWIL is freight forwarding services.

(u)          Dalian Shipping Online Network Co. Ltd. (“DSON”) is incorporated under the laws of PRC. The principal activities of DSON are providing online service for the members.

As of March 31, 2008, the Company entered into exclusive technical service agreements with DWIS, DWIL and DSON under which the Company provides technical and other services to DWIS, DWIL and DSON in exchange for substantially all net income of DWIS, DWIL and DSON. All voting rights of DWIS, DWIL and DSON are assigned to the Company, and the Company has the right to appoint all directors and senior management personnel of DWIS, DWIL and DSON. In addition, shareholders of DWIS, DWIL and DSON have pledged their equity interests in DWIS, DWIL and DSON as collateral to the Company for the non-payment of the fees for technical and other services due to the Company.

The Company applied the provision of FASB Interpretation No. 46R statement, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”) which states that VIEs may be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIEs or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns. As a result, DWIS, DWIL and DSON became the Company’s VIEs as of March 31, 2008.
 
The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 are presented as combined financial statements under common control due to the fact that the chairman and the chief executive officer of the Company, respectively, owns 50% equity interest of the companies (a) through (u) above, directly or indirectly.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated and combined financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 
25

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, due to/from related parties, other receivables and prepaid expenses, due from/to employees, prepayments, accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities, taxes payable and customer deposits. Management has estimated that the carrying amount approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated based on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of similar terms and maturities. Under this method, the Company’s fair value of long-term debt is not significantly different from the carrying value as at December 31, 2008.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For financial reporting purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturity of 3 months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains no bank account in the United States of America.

Inventories

Inventories of the Company are composed of fuel oil and diesel oil. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (market value). The cost is determined on the basis of weighted average. Net realizable value is based on estimated selling prices less any further costs expected to be incurred for disposal.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable include receivables from shippers and ship owners, net of a provision for doubtful accounts. At each balance sheet date, all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts.

Vessels and Depreciation Policies

Vessels are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Vessels are stated at cost, which consists of the contract price of the directly purchased vessels or present value of minimum lease payments for the vessels acquired by capital lease, and any direct expenditure incurred upon acquisition for major improvements and delivery.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the vessels, after considering the estimated residual value.  The residual value ranges from 0.4% to 6% of the imputed original cost at the birth date of the each vessel. The management estimates the useful lives of the vessels to be 25 years from birth. As all the vessels were second hand, the Company specified the depreciation periods by deducting the periods used before purchase from 25 years.

 
26

 

The costs of significant replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the vessel’s remaining estimated useful life or the estimated life of the renewal or betterment. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the asset or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

5 years
Office equipment
5 years

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Dry Dock Fees

Vessels must undergo regular inspection, monitoring and maintenance, referred to as dry docking, to maintain the required operating certificates. International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations generally require that vessels be dry docked every five years. Because dry dockings enable the vessel to continue operating in compliance with IMO requirements, the costs of these scheduled dry docking are customarily capitalized and are then amortized over a 60-month period beginning with the accounting period following the vessel’s release from dry docking.

Impairment of Long-Term Assets

Long-term assets of the Company are reviewed annually as to whether their carrying value has become impaired, pursuant to the guidelines established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144. The Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from the related operations.  The Company also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. There were no impairments for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Capital Leases

Those leases that transfer substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership of property to the Company are accounted for as capital leases. Commitments to repay the principal amounts arising under capital lease obligations are included in current liabilities to the extent that the amount is repayable within one year, otherwise the principal is included in amounts due after one year. The capitalized lease obligations reflect the present value of future lease payments. The financing element of the lease payments is charged to income over the term of the lease.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized based on the following four criteria:

(I) The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

 
27

 

(II) It is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company;

(III) The stage of completion at the balance sheet date can be measured reliably;

(IV) The costs incurred, or to be incurred can be measured reliably.

For dry bulk shipping services, the allocation of revenue between reporting periods based on relative transit time in each reporting period with expenses recognized as incurred.

For chartering brokerage services, sales are recognized when the ship leaves port.

For shipping agency and freight forwarding services, sales are recognized when the ship leaves port.

For online services, sales are recognized according to the stage of completion in accordance with the service period defined in executed contracts.

Retirement Benefits

Retirement benefits in the form of contributions under defined contribution retirement plans to the relevant authorities are charged to operations as incurred. Retirement benefits amounting to $110,435 and $69,405 were charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Income Tax

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence 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 be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.

Insurance Costs

There are 4 types of marine insurance for the Company which insures the vessels and shipping business as follows:

Insurance costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the beneficial periods and are recorded in vessel expenses in the consolidated and combined statements of income and comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. All potentially dilutive securities were included in dilutive earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company did not have dilutive securities for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars at currency exchange rates in effect at period-end and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect for the period. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations. Gains and losses resulting from translation of foreign subsidiaries balance sheets are included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.  Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income should be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company’s only current component of comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.

 
29

 

Reporting Segments

Accounting standards require public business enterprises to report information about each of their operating business segments that exceed certain quantitative threshold or meet certain other reporting requirements. Operating business segments have been defined as a component of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has identified the following reporting segments:

Dry Bulk Shipping Services – Dry bulk shipping services operates a fleet of 13 vessels that provides marine shipping services for dry and liquid bulk cargo shipping. This segment contributed 67% and 66% of combined operating revenues in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Chartering Brokerage Services - Chartering brokerage services provide ship chartering services for unrelated shipping companies and shippers. This segment contributed 26% and 30% of combined operating revenues in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

“Other Activities” Representing Shipping Agency and Freight Forwarding Services and Online Services - Shipping agency and freight forwarding services provides transportation and logistic services to shippers in the PRC. Online services provide internet services for members.  This segment contributed 7.8% and 5.5% of consolidated and combined operating revenues in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The Company has determined that there are 3 reportable segments: (1) Dry bulk shipping, (2) Chartering brokerage and (3) other activities. The “other activities” segment comprises shipping agency and freight forwarding services and online services. These operating segments were not separately reported as they do not meet any of the quantitative thresholds under Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 131 (Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 (R), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. SFAS 141(R) will significantly affect the accounting for future business combinations and we will determine the accounting as new combinations occur.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards that require the ownership interests in subsidiaries’ non-parent owners be clearly presented in the equity section of the balance sheet; requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; requires that changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently; requires that when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value and the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary be measured using the fair value of any noncontrolling equity; requires that entities provide disclosures that clearly identify the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the impact, if any; SFAS No. 160 will have on its financial statements.

 
30

 

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, of SFAS 157, which clarifies and prioritizes methods for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. The assets and liabilities measured at fair value under SFAS 157 in 2008 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which amends SFAS No. 133 and expands disclosures to include information about the fair value of derivatives, related credit risks and a company's strategies and objectives for using derivatives. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact that SFAS No. 161 will have on the disclosures in its financial statements.

Revenues

Our revenues are derived from the operation of:

 
·
Dry bulk shipping
 
 
·
Chartering brokerage
 
 
·
“Other activities” which represent shipping agency and freight forwarding services and online services
 
For the year ended December 31, 2008, total revenues increased by $15.3 million, or 21.8%, to $85.6 million from $70.3 million for 2007. This increase is primarily attributable to the net increase of $11.4 million from dry bulk shipping which contributed 67% of revenues, $2.8 million from shipping agency, freight forwarding and the online services which contributed 26% of revenues and $1.1 million from chartering brokerage which contributed 8% of revenues.

Increases across all segment operations were heavily attributable to the impact by the increased profitability in the global shipping market during the first 9 months of 2008 compared with the same period of 2007. During the last 3 months of 2008, revenues from dry bulk shipping and chartering brokerage dropped by 33% and 8%, respectively, compared with the same period in 2007. This trend was attributable to the global financial crisis and the global economic recession. We anticipate this trend will continue in 2009.

Despite the unfavorable impact by the global economic crisis, the increase in our dry bulk shipping revenue is primarily attributable to an increase in revenue tons carried, coupled with an increase in freight rates for the first 9 months of 2008. The increases in our shipping agency, freight forwarding and online services were due to marketing efforts by the Company to expand our customer base. The increase in our chartering brokerage services was due to the increased brokerage commission and chartering volumes.

Vessel Operating Expenses
 
We incurred vessel operating expenses through the operation of our dry bulk shipping and chartering brokerage. For the year ended December 31, 2008, vessel operating expenses increased by $8.5 million, or 20.8%, to $49.5 million, as compared with $41.0 million in 2007. This increase was primarily in line with the increased revenue and partially attributable to the increase in fuel costs and crew expenses.

Service Costs
 
We incurred service costs through the operation of other activities in shipping agency and freight forwarding services and online services. For the year ended December 31, 2008, service costs increased by $2.6 million, or 98.4%, to $5.2 million, compared with $2.6 million in 2007. This increase is primarily attributable to increased revenue resulted from the operation of other activities.

Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation of vessels and amortization of deferred dry dock fees decreased by $0.08 million, or 1.2%, to $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to $7.2 million in 2007. This decrease is attributable to the fact that two vessels were fully depreciated in mid-year, partially off-set by increased amortization of dry dock fees by $0.2 million.

General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $1.94 million, or 113.1%, to $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $1.7 million in 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to increased employees’ salaries and bonus compensation.

Income from Operations before Interest and Tax Expenses
 
Income from operations increased by approximately $2.3 million, or 13.2%, to $20.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $17.8 million in 2007. This increase is primarily attributable to increased revenue, off-set by increased vessel expenses, service costs and general and administrative expenses.

As a percentage of revenue, income from operations before interest and tax expenses in 2008 declined to 23.5% from 25.3% in 2007, respectively. The Company deems this to be a reasonable fluctuation.
 
Interest Expense, Net
 
Net interest expense declined $1.0 million, or 54.3%, to $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to approximately $1.8 million in 2007. This decrease is primarily attributable to declining interest rates and an increase in payments to pay off outstanding long-term bank loans and capital lease obligations.

Insurance Income, Net
 
We recognized no insurance income during the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to $0.95 million in 2007.

 
33

 

Other Expense, Net

For the year ended December 31, 2008, other expense decreased by $0.04 million, or 16.4%, to $0.21 million from $0.25 million in 2007. The Company deems such decrease to be a reasonable fluctuation.
 
Income Tax Expense

For the year ended December 31, 2008, income tax expense decreased by $0.05 million, or 73.0%, to $0.02 million from $0.07 million in 2007. The decrease was due to the fact that the corporate income tax rate decreased to 25% in 2008 from 33% in 2007.

Income from Continuing Operations
 
Income from continuing operations increased by approximately $2.5 million, or 14.8%, to $19.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $16.6 million in 2007. The increase in income from continuing operations is primarily attributable to increased income from operations and decreased interest expense, off-set by increased other expenses.

As a percentage of revenue, income from continuing operations in 2008 declined to 22.3% from 23.6% in 2007, respectively. The Company deems such decline to be a reasonable fluctuation.

Gain from Discontinued Operation
 
For the year ended December 31, 2008, we incurred no discontinued operations while net gain from disposal of discontinued operations of the vessel Beautiful Queen was recorded in the amount of $4.8 million in 2007.

Net Income

Net income decreased by $2.4 million, or 11.1%, to $19.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to $21.4 million in 2007. This decrease is attributable to the gain from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 while we incurred no discontinued operations in 2008, off-set by increased income from continuing operations.

Earnings Per Share
 
For both basic and diluted shares, earnings per share decreased by $0.04, or 20.0%, to $0.16 for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $0.20 in 2007. This decrease is attributable to decreased net income of $2.4 million as well as increased shares for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of funds are cash flow from operations and long-term bank debt. Our primary uses of funds are principal repayments on outstanding credit facilities and capital lease obligations and ongoing operations.

 
34

 

Operating Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2008, our cash provided by operating activities of $23.9 million is primarily attributable to our net income of $19.1 million adjusted by non-cash depreciation of $3.6 million and amortization of dry docking cost of $3.5 million, decrease in other receivables of $2.7 million and decrease in prepayments of $2.9 million, off-set by an increase in dry docking fees of $4.6 million and decrease in advance from customers of $2.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2007, our cash provided by operating activities of $12.7 million is primarily attributable to the net income of $21.4 million with adjustments of non-cash depreciation of $4.4 million, amortization of $2.8 million, gain on disposal of discontinued operation of $5.1 million, increase in advance from customers of $2.5 million, off-set by an increase in dry docking fees of $6.4 million, increase in prepayments of $2.7 million, increase in accounts receivable of $1.6 million, increase in other receivables and other current assets of $1.5 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in the investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $0.09 million as compared to $36.3 million net cash provided by the investing activities in 2007.  This swing is primarily attributable to the cash proceeds from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 while none for the corresponding period in 2008.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in our financing activities was $18.7 million and $47.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, net cash used in financing activities mainly included payment of dividends of $48.2 million and repayments: (a) to related parties of $3.2 million, (b) of long-term loans of $2.8 million, (c) of long-term notes payable of $2.3 million, (d) of capital lease obligations of $1.5 million and (e) of short-term loans of $1.0 million and off-set by the proceeds from related parties of $40.4 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, net cash used in financing activities primarily included repayments: (a) to related parties $19.7 million, (b) of long-term loan of $16.6 million, (c) of short-term notes payable of $7.6 million, (d) of capital lease obligation of $2.9 million and (e) of long-term notes payments of $0.7 million.

We anticipate that our existing cash balance, as well as internal generated cash flow, will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs through the year of 2009. We expect to continue to fund our operations with cash resources generated from our operations and cash resources from our credit facilities.

Working Capital

Our working capital increased to $1.7 million at December 31, 2008, from a working capital deficiency of $16.4 million at December 31, 2007. This increase is primarily attributable to no accrual for dividends at December 31, 2008 as compared to $48.2 million of dividends accrued at December 2007. We believe our working capital will continually improve via cash flow from our operations and cash resources generated from our credit facilities.

During the Company’s most recent two (2) fiscal years, as well as the subsequent interim period through October 28, 2008, there were no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement.

Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, our management, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2008.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control structure and procedures over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) under the Exchange Act. Our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 based on the framework set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
 
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 were effective.    
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of:
Winland Online Shipping Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Winland Online Shipping Holdings Corp. (formerly Trip Tech Inc.) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We were not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 included in the Company’s Item 9A(T) “Controls and procedures” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Winland Online Shipping Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting policies generally accepted in the United States of America.

ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Winland Online Shipping Holdings Co. (Formerly Trip Tech, Inc.) was incorporated under the laws of Texas on November 17, 2006. On September 23, 2008, Trip Tech, Inc. changed its name to Winland Online Shipping Holdings Corporation (“WLOL”).

On August 12, 2008, Trip Tech, Inc. (“Trip Tech”) entered into a share exchange agreement with Skyace Group Limited (“SGL”) and Pioneer Creation Holdings Limited (“PCH”). PCH is the sole shareholder of SGL. As a result of the share exchange, Trip Tech acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of SGL from PCH in exchange for 76,925,000 newly-issued shares of Trip Tech’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share and 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which such Preferred Shares would be converted into 30,000,000 shares of Common upon Trip Tech amending its Articles of Incorporation to sufficiently increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock in order to effect such issuance. SGL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of WLOL. At the time of the merger, WLOL had 23,075,000 shares of common stock. On September 23, 2008, the authorized shares were increased to 200,000,000 shares. On Octobers 23, 2008, 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.001 were converted into 30,000,000 shares of common stock. As a result, the total outstanding shares of common stock increased to 130,000,000, and PCH owned 82.25% of the voting capital stock of WLOL.

The exchange transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141. “Business Combinations”.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(c) Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated and combined financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

(d) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, due to/from related parties, other receivables and prepaid expenses, due from/to employees, prepayments, accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities, taxes payable and customer deposits. Management has estimated that the carrying amount approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated based on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of similar terms and maturities. Under this method, the Company’s fair value of long-term debt is not significantly different from the carrying value as at December 31, 2008.

(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents

For financial reporting purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains no bank account in the United States of America.

(f) Inventories

Inventories of the company are composed of fuel oil and diesel oil. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (market value). The cost is determined on the basis of weighted average. Net realizable value is based on estimated selling prices less any further costs expected to be incurred for disposal.

(g) Accounts Receivables

Accounts receivables include receivables from shippers and ship owners, net of a provision for doubtful accounts. At each balance sheet date, all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company has no allowance for doubtful accounts.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(h) Vessels and Depreciation Policy

Vessels are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Also see Note 3.

Vessels are stated as cost which consists of the contract price of the directly purchased vessels or present value of minimum lease payments for the vessels acquired by capital lease, and any direct expenditure incurred upon acquisition for major improvements and delivery.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the vessels, after considering the estimated residual value.  The residual value ranges from 0.4% to 6% of the imputed original cost at the birth date of each vessel. Management estimates the useful lives of the vessels to be 25 years from the birth date. As all the vessels were second hand, the Company specified the depreciation periods by deducting the periods used before purchase from 25 years.

The costs of significant replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the vessel’s remaining estimated useful life or the estimated life of the renewal or betterment. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

(i) Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
 
Motor vehicles
5 years
Office equipment
5 years
 
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

(j) Dry Dock Fees

Vessels must undergo regular inspection, monitoring and maintenance, referred to as dry docking, to maintain the required operating certificates. International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations generally require that vessels be dry docked every five years. Because dry docking enable the vessel to continue operating in compliance with IMO requirements, the costs of these scheduled dry docking are customarily capitalized and are then amortized over a 60-month period beginning with the accounting period following the vessel’s release from dry docking. Also see Note 5.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(k) Impairment of Long-Term Assets

Long-term assets of the Company are reviewed annually as to whether their carrying value has become impaired, pursuant to the guidelines established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144. The Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from the related operations.  The Company also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. There were no impairments for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

(l) Capital Leases

Those leases that transfer substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership of property to the Company are accounted for as capital leases. Commitments to repay the principal amounts arising under capital lease obligations are included in current liabilities to the extent that the amount is repayable within one year, otherwise the principal is included in amounts due after one year. The capitalized lease obligations reflect the present value of future lease payments. The financing element of the lease payments is charged to income over the term of the lease.

(m) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized based on the following four criteria:

(I) The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

(II) It is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company;

(III) The stage of completion at the balance sheet date can be measured reliably;

(IV) The costs incurred, or to be incurred can be measured reliably.

For dry bulk shipping service, the allocation of revenue between reporting periods based on relative transit time in each reporting period with expenses recognized as incurred.

For chartering brokerage services, sales are recognized when the ship leaves port.

For shipping agency and freight forwarding services, sales are recognized when the ship leaves port.

For online services, sales are recognized according to the stage of completion in accordance with the service period defined in executed contracts.

(n) Retirement Benefits

Retirement benefits in the form of contributions under defined contribution retirement plans to the relevant authorities are charged to operations as incurred. Retirement benefits amounting to $110,435 and $69,405 were charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

(o) Income Tax

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence 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 be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain. Also see Note 11.

(p) Insurance Costs

There are four kinds of marine insurance for the Company which insures the vessels and shipping business as follows:

(q) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. All potentially dilutive securities are included in dilutive earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company does not have dilutive securities for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

(r) Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars at currency exchange rates in effect at period-end and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect for the period. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations. Gains and losses resulting from translation of foreign subsidiaries balance sheets are included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

(s) Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.  Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income should be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company’s only current component of comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.

  (t) Reporting Segments

Accounting standards require public business enterprises to report information about each of their operating business segments that exceed certain quantitative threshold or meet certain other reporting requirements. Operating business segments have been defined as a component of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has identified the following reporting segments:

Dry Bulk Shipping Service – Dry bulk shipping service operates a fleet of thirteen vessels that provides marine shipping services for dry and liquid bulk cargo shipping. The segment contributed 67% and 66% of combined operating revenues in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

(u) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 (R), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141 (R) requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. SFAS No. 141 (R) is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. SFAS 141 (R) will significantly affect the accounting for future business combinations and we will determine the accounting as new combinations occur.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards that require the ownership interests in subsidiaries’ non-parent owners be clearly presented in the equity section of the balance sheet; requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; requires that changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently; requires that when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value and the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary be measured using the fair value of any noncontrolling equity; requires that entities provide disclosures that clearly identify the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the impact, if any; SFAS No. 160 will have on its financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(u) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, of SFAS 157, which clarifies and prioritizes methods for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. The assets and liabilities measured at fair value under SFAS 157 in 2008 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 161"), which amends SFAS No. 133 and expands disclosures to include information about the fair value of derivatives, related credit risks and a company's strategies and objectives for using derivatives. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact that SFAS No. 161 will have on the disclosures in its financial statements.

 INCOME TAX

(a)
Winland Shipping Co., Limited, Treasure Way Shipping Limited, Kinki International Industrial Limited, Bestline Shipping Limited and Lancrusier Development Co., Limited are registered in Hongkong and are free of income tax as long as they do not operate in Hong Kong under the local tax law. Since these companies do not have operations in Hong Kong, they do not have any income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Win Star Shipping Co., Limited and Bodar Shipping Co., Limited are incorporated and registered in St. Vincent and Grenadines. Winland Dalian Shipping S.A. and Win Glory S.A. are incorporated in Panama and registered in HongKong. Win Eagle Shipping Co., Limited, Win Ever Shipping Co., Limited and Win Bright Shipping Co., Limited are incorporated and registered in Valletta, Malta. Since these companies obtained a tax exemption from the local government, they do not have any tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of FASB statement No.109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The interpretation addressed the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertainty tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

Income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 is summarized as follows:
 
   
2008
   
2007
