On August 31, 2006, the record date for determining the identity of shareholders who are entitled to receive this Information Statement, 19,971,758 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding and 7,883 shares of our Series A preferred stock were issued and outstanding. The common stock and Series A preferred stock constitutes the sole outstanding classes of voting securities of the Company. Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on all matters submitted to shareholders and each share of Series A preferred stock has the same voting rights as 7,600 shares of common stock.
General Information
On June 2, 2006, a majority of the holders of the Company’s voting capital stock approved the acquisition of a 100% ownership interest of Nanjing Catch-Luck Garments Co, Ltd., a Chinese limited liability company (“Catch-Luck”) by Perfect Dream, Ltd., a British Virgin Island company (“Perfect Dream”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Stock (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated June 26, 2006, by and among the Company, Perfect Dream, Ever-Glory Enterprises (HK) Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (“EGLY HK”) and Catch-Luck.

The shareholder approval was granted by written consent, in lieu of a special meeting of the shareholders. The controlling shareholders have not consented to or considered any other corporate action. The shareholders’ approval of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement Amendment was granted in each case subject to the filing of an Information Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and delivery of notice to the other shareholders of the Company.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY
Organization, Charter Amendments and General History
Ever-Glory International Group, Inc. (the “Company”) through its subsidiary, Goldenway Nanjing Garments Co., Ltd. (“Goldenway”), manufactures apparel for men, women and children for primarily middle to high-grade well-known casual wear, outerwear and sportswear brands and for a variety of companies. A majority of its products are exported to Japan, EU countries and the United States. The Company’s customers include large retailers and well-known brands.
Ever-Glory is the result of the merger of Andean Development Corporation, a Florida corporation (“Andean”), and Perfect Dream Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Perfect Dream”). Andean was incorporated on October 19, 1994 in Delaware and was originally engaged in the business of providing engineering and project management services for energy and private works projects and selling, as agent, major electrical and mechanical equipment. Effective March 31, 2003, Andean sold all of its operating assets and substantially all of the liabilities of Andean’s business to a related party. Thereafter, Andean had no operations. As of June 30, 2005, Andean had zero assets and liabilities of $57,000.
Perfect Dream was incorporated on July 1, 2004 in the British Virgin Islands. In December 2004, Perfect Dream acquired 100% of Goldenway. Goldenway is a limited liability company, which was established under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on December 31, 1993. Until December 1, 2004, Goldenway was a subsidiary of Jiangsu Ever-Glory International Enterprises Group Corporation (“Jiangsu”). On April 20, 2005, Perfect Dream changed Goldenway’s status to that of a wholly foreign owned enterprise and increased its registered capital from $2,512,106 to $20,000,000.
On July 29, 2005, Andean, Perfect Dream and each of the stockholders of Perfect Dream entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which the Perfect Dream shareholders received, in exchange for their shares of Perfect Dream, 7,673,325 shares of Andean (after giving effect to a one-for-thirty reverse split of the issued and outstanding shares of Andean). On November 17, 2005, Andean changed its name to “Ever-Glory International Group, Inc.”
Business Operations
The Company, through its subsidiary Goldenway, is engaged in the manufacture and sale of apparel to well-known casual wear, outerwear and sportswear brands and retailers. The Company manufactures all of its products from one 10,000 square meter factory in the Nanjing Jiangning Economic and Technological Development Zone in Nanjing, China.
Products
The Company manufactures high and middle grade casual-wear, outerwear, and sportswear including the following products:
WOMEN’S CLOTHING. This product line includes coats, jackets, slacks, skirts, shirts, trousers, and jeans.
MEN’S SPORTSWEAR. This product line includes men’s vests, jackets, pants, trousers, skiwear, coats and jeans.
CHILDREN’S CLOTHING. This product line includes children’s coats, vests, down jackets, knitwear, pants and jeans.
Customers
Ever-Glory manufactures garments for a number of well-known retail chains and internationally famous brands, including ITOYOKADO, Debenhams, C&A, Next, Etam China, Fat Face, Eddie Bauer, Teijin, Mast, Best-Seller, Shinko, Matalan, ITOCHU, B.B. Dakota and Abercrombie & Fitch. The Company also has its own design capabilities and can provide its customers with a selection of unique and original designs that the customer may have manufactured for them.
In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, approximately 60% of the Company’s revenues came from customers in European countries, 18% from customers in Japan, 15% from customers in the United States, and 5% from customers in China. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, three customers represented approximately 22%, 12%, and 12% of the Company’s net sales, respectively. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, three customers each represented approximately 54% of the Company’s net sales. The Company has no long-term contracts with any of its customers. There can be no assurance that our customers will continue to place orders with us of the same magnitude as they have in the past, or at all. In addition, the apparel industry historically has been subject to substantial cyclical variation, with consumer spending for purchases of apparel and related goods tending to decline during recessionary periods. To the extent that these financial difficulties occur, there can be no assurance that our financial condition and results of operations would not be adversely affected.
Suppliers
The Company purchases raw materials directly from local fabric and accessory suppliers. The Company may also import specialty fabrics to meet specific customer requirements. The Company also purchases finished goods from other contract manufacturers. One supplier represented approximately 11% of the Company’s raw materials
4
purchases in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Two suppliers represented approximately 12% and 10% of the Company’s raw materials purchases in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The Company has not experienced difficulty in obtaining finished goods or raw materials essential to its business.
Sales and Marketing
The Company leverages the sales and marketing organization of Jiangsu, of which Goldenway was a subsidiary prior to its acquisition by the Company. Jiangsu has sales and marketing offices around the world, including in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany.
In addition, the Company attends and participates in trade shows around the world, including Europe, Japan, the U.S. and China’s largest tradeshow, the Chinese Export Commodity Fair in Guangdong Province. The Company’s marketing strategy is designed to attract customers with the strongest brands within the strongest markets. The company seeks to attract customers including Japan, the EU and the US. In addition, the company looks for customers with strong brand appeal and product lines that require that Company’s high quality manufacturing and can support the Company’s production capacity. Referrals from existing customers continue to be a strong source of new customers.
Production and Quality Control
The Company produces the majority of its products. The Company may, however, outsource manufacturing from time to time based upon factory capacity and customer demand. The Company’s factory covers an area of 10,000 square meters and is equipped with state-of-the-art production equipment. The Company’s factory is located in Nanjing. The Company is in the process of expanding its manufacturing facilities in the Nanjing Jiangning Economic and Technological Development Zone in Nanjing, China.
The Company is committed to designing and manufacturing high quality garments. Because the Company emphasizes fit, performance and quality of its apparel products, the Company places a high priority on quality control. The Company has implemented strict quality control and craft discipline systems. Prior to manufacturing in large quantities, the Company obtains the approval of its customers either through a direct visit to the factories or by shipping samples of its apparel products to its customers for inspection and comment. This ensures that the product meets specifications prior to shipping. In addition, employees of the Company periodically inspect the manufacturing process and quality of apparel products. The Company’s factory is ISO 9000 certified.
Delivery and Transportation
The Company ships product directly to the customer. The Company has access to a variety of ground and air shipping companies and can typically deliver the product to the client within a few days. The merchandise is shipped from the production facility by truck to a port where it is consolidated and loaded on containerized vessels for ocean transport to the ultimate destination.
Competition
The garment manufacturing industry is highly competitive, particularly in China. The Company’s competitors include garment manufacturers of all sizes, both within China and elsewhere in the world, many of which have greater financial and manufacturing resources than the Company. The Company has been in the garment manufacturing business since 1993 and believes that it has earned a reputation for producing high quality products efficiently and at competitive prices. The Company believes that it competes favorably with other companies based on the experience and know-how the Company has acquired since 1993 as well as the Company’s state-of-the-art equipment, which enables it to produce high-quality garments at competitive prices.
Governmental Regulations/Quotas
Pursuant to the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement, effective January 1, 2005, the United States and other WTO member countries removed quotas from WTO members. However, as the removal of quotas resulted in an import surge from China, the U.S. took action in May 2005 and imposed safeguard quotas on seven categories of goods. Exports of each specified product category will continue to be admitted into the United States in the ordinary course until the restraint level for that category is reached, after which further exports will be embargoed and will not be cleared until after January 2006. Additionally, on June 10, 2005, in response to the surge of Chinese imports into the European Union (EU), the EU Commission signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with China in which ten categories of textiles and apparel will be subject to restraints and on November 8, 2005, the U.S. and China entered into a Memorandum of Understanding in which 21 categories of textiles and apparel are subject to restraints. Although certain of the Company’s apparel products fall within the categories subject to the safeguards in the U.S. and the EU, which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to export and sell these products, the imposition of quotas in 2005 did not have a material affect on the Company’s net sales, although it did impact its gross margin. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation – Results of Operations. The Company believes that it will be able to obtain sufficient quota allocation based on prior year’s quota allocation. In addition, the Company can bid for additional export quota allocation from the government for the U.S. and E.U. markets. On a longer term basis, the Company believes that its customer mix and its ability to adjust the types of apparel it manufactures will mitigate its exposure to such trade restrictions in the future.
5
Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that additional trade restrictions will not be imposed on the exports of the Company’s products in the future. Such actions could result in increases in the cost of its products generally and may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.
Seasonality
We have typically experienced seasonal fluctuations in sales volume due to the seasonal fluctuations experienced by the majority of our customers. These seasonal fluctuations typically result in sales decreases in the first and second quarters and sales increases in the third and fourth quarters of each year.
Employees
The Company employs a staff of over 700 people. All of the Company’s work force is non-union and the Company considers its relations with its employees to be satisfactory.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OF CATCH-LUCK
Overview
Nanjing Catch-Luck Garments ltd is a wholly owned foreign enterprise, which was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on December, 1995. Since February, 2007, Catch-Luck was a whole subsidiary of Ever-Glory Enterprises (H.K.) Ltd. Catch-Luck’s registered capital of $600,000 has been fully funded. Nanjing Catch-Luck mainly engages in sale and manufacturing of casual wear, sports wear, jackets and trousers, shorts for high to middle brands and international chain stores.
In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, approximately 52% of the Company’s revenues came from customers in Europe, 18% from customers in Japan, 18% from customers in the U.S. and 11% from customers in China.

Catch-Luck purchases the majority of its raw materials directly from numerous local fabric and accessories suppliers. Catch-Luck may also purchase finished goods from other contract manufacturers. One supplier represented approximately 11% of Catch-Luck’s raw materials purchases in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and approximately 8% of Catch-Luck's raw materials purchases in the year ended December 31, 2006. Catch-Luck has not experienced difficulty in obtaining raw materials essential to its business and management believes that the relationship with its suppliers is good.
Catch-Luck currently operates one factory in the Nanjing Jiangning Economic and Technological Development Zone, Nanjing, China. The factory covers an area of 6,000 square meters and is equipped with highly advanced, state-of-the-art equipment.
In 2006, Catch-Luck leased this factory from Nanjing Goldenway Garments Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ever Glory, for an annual rent of $18,750.
The factory currently employs a staff of over 500 people with an annual production capacity of over one million pieces. All of Catch-Luck’s work force is non-union, and Catch-Luck considers its relations with its employees to be satisfactory.
In 2005, export quotas on most categories of Catch-Luck’s products were eliminated. In July 2005, the United States and the EU reinstituted export quotas on certain clothing categories. The Chinese government allocated a portion of the export quota to Catch-Luck based upon the amount of product that Catch-Luck exported in the prior year. Although certain of Catch-Luck’s apparel products fall within the categories subject to the safeguards in the U.S. and the EU, the imposition of quotas in 2006 did not have a material affect on Catch-Luck’s net sales. Catch-Luck believes that its customer mix and its ability to adjust the types of apparel it manufactures will mitigate its exposure to such trade restrictions in the future.
Under the laws of the PRC, as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, Catch-Luck was granted a five-year income tax benefit, including a tax moratorium for two years and a reduction in its income tax rate of 50% for three years, beginning with the first year in which Catch-Luck has profits and refunds all losses incurred in prior years. As a result, in the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, no provision for income tax was made as Catch-Luck incurred losses. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, and the three months ended March 31, 2007, Catch-Luck was exempt from income tax.
Catch-Luck markets and sells its products through a combination of international distributors and direct sales primarily in Japan, Europe and the United States.
Our cost of sales consists of raw materials, garment finishing fees, direct labor and manufacturing overhead, including Catch-Luck’s contributions to a government mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan, packing materials and others. In addition, from time to time we subcontract manufacturing, which costs are included in our cost of sales.
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of, transportation expenses and inspection expenses.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for executive, finance, accounting, facilities and human resources personnel, office expenses and professional fees.
Results of Operations

Revenues, Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were $5,063,741, an increase of 128% from $2,225,351 for same quarter in 2006.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $449,998 in 2006, compared with $124,121 in 2005 primarily as a result of the purchase of new manufacturing equipment in 2006. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $1,538 as of March 31, 2007, compared with $381,703 as of March 31, 2006.

Foreign Currency Translation Risk.
Catch-Luck ‘s operations are in the PRC, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility of foreign exchange rates between the United States dollar and the Chinese Renminbi. Sales of the Company’s products are in dollars. During 2003 and 2004 the exchange rate of RMB to the dollar remained constant at 8.26 RMB to the dollar. On July 21, 2005, the Chinese government adjusted the exchange rate from 8.26 to 8.09 RMB to the dollar. In 2006, the RMB kept on appreciating to the dollar. As of March 31, 2007, the market foreign exchanges rate was increased to 7.7409 RMB to one dollar. As a result, the ongoing appreciation of RMB to dollar negatively impacted our gross margins for the year ended December 31, 2006 and for the three months ended March 31, 2007. We are always negotiating order price adjustments with most of our customers based on the daily market foreign exchange rates, which we believe will reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations in the future and pass some increase of the cost to our customers.
The financial statements of Catch-Luck (whose functional currency is the RMB) are translated into U.S. Dollars using the closing rate method. The balance sheet items are translated into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. All exchange differences are recorded within equity. Translation gain/(loss) for the
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $81,615 and ($7,310), respectively,
and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were $28,797 and $15,920, respectively.
DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION
Structure of the Transaction
On June 26, 2006, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Perfect Dream, entered into an agreement (a “Purchase Agreement”) with EGLY HK pursuant to which the Company has agreed to acquire and EGLY HK has agreed to sell all of the EGLY HK’s interest in Catch-Luck. The Purchase Agreement was amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Stock, dated August 31, 2006, by and among the Company, Perfect Dream, EGLY HK and Catch-Luck (the “Purchase Agreement Amendment”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement Amendment, at the Closing of the Transaction the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Perfect Dream, will acquire 100% of the stock equity of Catch-Luck from EGLY HK. EGLY HK owns 100% of the total capital of Catch-Luck. See “Terms of the Sale – Purchase Price” below.
For accounting purposes, this transaction will be accounted for as a merger.
The current management of Catch-Luck will not change following the closing of the Transaction. Catch-Luck’s board of directors consists of three persons, Kang Yihua, Yan Xiaodong and Li Ning. Each of the directors of Catch-Luck is also a director of the Company. The general manager of Catch-Luck is Mr. Wang Nengshan. Mr. Wang has been the general manager of Nanjing Catch-Luck Garments Ltd since January, 2002. Mr. Wang previously served as the production manager and the vice general manager of Nanjing Shangfang Garments Ltd. from 1987 to 2001. Mr. Wang has over ten years of experience in garments production and sales management.
Reasons for the Transaction
Our board of directors considered various factors in approving the Purchase Agreement and the Transaction, including the following
Acquiring a similar, or synergistic, business such as Catch -Luck is an appropriate method to expand our business and operation. The board wishes to expand the Company’s current business and operations, including its production capacity and customer base, in order to increase revenues and shareholder value. The board considered various methods to accomplish this goal, including “organic” growth of our facilities and production capacity by acquisition of additional assets over time versus acquisition of an established entity in the same business. The Board considered the Company’s current properties and facilities, customer base, employee pool and the potential funding requirements of such growth. The board also considered the cost of the acquisition of Catch-Luck, which requires payment of USD$600,000 and the issuance of up to approximately $9.4 million of our common stock, and determined that the cost of achieving internal growth equivalent to the increased production capacity to be achieved with the acquisition of Catch-Luck would be materially greater than the cost of acquiring Catch-Luck. At this time, however, the board does not wish to consider diversifying the company into other business areas or models.
Catch-Luck’s business and operations are synergistic with the Company. The Company and Catch-Luck are both garment manufacturing and exporting companies located in China. Catch-Luck shares with the Company a similar business model and has similar experience in the relevant textile sectors. Both companies operate in essentially the same markets. Both companies have the same target markets and the same manufacturing capabilities. Both companies have manufacturing plants in the same development zone in China. The board believes that the acquisition of Catch-Luck will allow us to increase our client base, production capacity and market share of the Europe, Japan and United States.
The board of directors has determined that the common business operations of the Company and Catch-Luck would help result in an effective integration of the companies. The board believes that following the acquisition, the material operation centers of Catch-Luck, such as manufacturing and sales will continue to be operated in substantially the same manner that they currently operate. Such operations simply augment the similar operations currently conducted by the Company. The board does not anticipate any material reduction in any of Catch-Luck’s operations as a result of the acquisition and integration with the Company, except that certain administrative functions, such as billing, accounting, record keeping and other administrative support may be combined into a single entity, and reductions in staff, properties or other assets related thereto will be considered by the board.
The two companies share several common managers. After the acquisition, Catch-Luck’s management will have access to additional management support from the Company, including with respect to trading, market development, operations and production expertise. Management of the Company, in turn, will benefit from the additional management experience from Catch-Luck.
Catch-Luck’s business operations and financial resources will augment the production capacity and consolidated results of the Company. The Company believes that Catch-Luck’s production capacity wills approximately double the Company’s current production capacity. Currently, the Company produces approximately 2.5 million pieces annually and Catch-Luck currently produces approximately 3 million pieces annually. Because the companies will continue to operate their productions facilities without material change after the acquisition, the board believes that the consolidated Company’s production capacity will double, approximately, after the acquisition. In addition, the Company will benefit from Catch-Luck’s current outsourcing partnerships. After the acquisition, the company will have more outsourcing partners which will strengthen its manufacturing bases.
10
The board believes that Catch-Luck will continue its stable development and growth and that over the next two fiscal years, the acquisition of Catch-Luck could increase our consolidated sales by approximately USD$20 million per year and could increase our net profit by approximately USD $1.5 million per year.
The Company currently services approximately 60 customers and Catch-Luck has approximately 50 customers. Both of the two companies share most of the customers. While each company manufactures different kinds of products for their same customers. As a result, the board anticipates that the revenues of Catch-Luck, which will be $19 million by the end of 2006, will approximately double the revenues of the Company on a consolidated basis. The revenues of the Company will be $USD18 million by the end of 2006. The board also anticipates that the Company’s net margin on a consolidated basis will be approximately doubled by the acquisition which be over USD$3 million. In addition, the board believes that the increased size of the Company after the acquisition, will allow it to appeal to a broader base of existing and potential customers, to whom it can market increased production capacity, increased financial strength and increased management size and experience.
The acquisition involves potential economies of scale in the areas of production, administration, and purchasing. Following the acquisition, the Company plans to continue to operate its current manufacturing, sales and other material operation centers, as well as those of Catch-Luck, in essentially the same manner. Management of the two companies will coordinate their efforts after the acquisition to work in the best interests of the consolidated entity. The Company and Catch-Luck may also be able to share manufacturing responsibilities with respect to particular clients and use sales personnel to cross-sell the services provided by two companies. Certain administrative functions may be able to be consolidated, however. The board will consider such consolidation after the acquisition. Any such consolidations of management or administrative functions will result in cost savings tot he Company. However, the board can not currently estimate the amount of any such savings, or provide any assurances that any such savings will be achieved. As a result of the increased production capability, the board believes that the Company and Catch-Luck may also be able to reduce the incremental cost of raw materials purchases, although the board can not provide any assurances that any such savings will be achieved.
The acquisition will increase stockholder value. The Company anticipates that the acquisition of Catch-Luck will increase aggregate stockholder value by approximately $10 million, although the number of outstanding shares will increase as a result of the acquisition by up to 9.4 million shares. As are result, the consolidated value per share of our common stock after the acquisition will remain substantially the same.
In reaching our decision, our board also considered various factors that weighed against the transaction, including:
In reaching our decision, our board also considered various factors that potentially weighed against the transaction, including whether the acquisition would create a material duplication of assets, increase management and accounting responsibilities or cost or increase funding requirements. The board determined that none of such risk were material and determined that the only material factor that weighed against the transaction was the dilution to our current shareholders as a result of the issuance of common stock, up to 9.4 million shares, in the acquisition. The board determined, however, as described above that the cost to shareholders of the acquisition of Catch-Luck was materially less than the potential cost of an organic growth of the Company’s assets over time.
Given those circumstances, our board decided that our best course of action for our shareholders was to enter into, and to conclude, the proposed Purchase Agreement and Transaction.

PAST CONTACTS, TRANSACTIONS OR NEGOTIATIONS
In the past two years, there have been no material transactions contemplated or consummated between the Company and either EGLY HK or Catch-Luck.
Mr. Kang is a majority shareholder of the Company and, at the record date, was the sole shareholder of EGLY HK. Mr. Kang transferred all of his interests in EGLY HK to Mr. Yan Xiaodong in September 2006. After such transfer Mr. Yan became the sole shareholder officer and director of EGLY HK. Mr. Yan owns approximately 6.3% of the outstanding shares of preferred stock of the Company. Catch-Luck has been managed by Wang Nengshan, the general manager of Catch-Luck. Mr. Kang is not involved in the daily operations of Catch-Luck.
At the record date, three of the Company’s five directors, Kang Yihua, Yan Xiaodong and Li Ning, were directors of Catch-Luck. The general manager of Catch-Luck, Mr. Wang Nengshan, is not an affiliate of the Company.
In order to strengthen the manufacturing ability and increase production capacity of the Company, during May of 2006 Mr. Kang, the majority shareholder of the Company and EGLY HK at that time, suggested to the Board of Directors of the Company that the Company acquire Catch-Luck. The Company and EGLY HK entered into a term Sheet and executed the Purchase Agreement on June 26, 2006. The parties engaged professionals in the PRC for assistance in obtaining the necessary approvals for the Transaction from local governments in the PRC. After further discussion of the consideration for the Transaction, the parties amended the Purchase Agreement on August 31, 2006.

(1) The percentage of shares beneficially owned is based on 19,971,758 shares of common stock outstanding and 7,883.551 shares of Series A preferred outstanding. Except as otherwise noted, shares are owned beneficially and of record, and such record shareholder has sole voting, investment and dispositive power over the shares. On or about October 27, 2005, each of the shareholders listed in this table, as well as other shareholders holding an aggregate of 336, 573 shares (total 7,883,551 shares) exchanged their shares of common stock for 7,883.551 shares of preferred stock, in order to increase the availability of common stock for public shareholders. In addition, on November 1, 2005, the Company effected a 7.6-for-1 forward stock split of its common stock in the form of a stock dividend, which increased the number of outstanding shares of common stock to 19,971,758 shares. As a result, each share of preferred stock has the same voting, dividend and liquidation rights as 7,600 shares of common stock and will convert back into common stock at such time as the Company is able to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to no less than 500,000,000 shares.

RISK FACTORS
Our business is subject to certain risks, and we want you to review these risks while you are evaluating our business and our historical results. Please keep in mind that any of the following risks discussed below and elsewhere in this Information Statement materially and adversely affect us, our operating results, our financial condition and our projections and beliefs as to our future performance. As such, our results could differ materially from those projected in our forward-looking statements.
Risks Relating to the Industry in Which We Compete.
Our sales are influenced by general economic cycles.
Apparel is a cyclical industry that is dependent upon the overall level of consumer spending. Our customers anticipate and respond to adverse changes in economic conditions and uncertainty by reducing inventories and canceling orders. As a result, any substantial deterioration in general economic conditions, increases in energy costs or interest rates, acts of war, acts of nature or terrorist or political events that diminish consumer spending and confidence in any of the regions in which we compete, could reduce our sales and adversely affect our business and financial condition.
Intense competition in the worldwide apparel industry could reduce our sales and prices.
We face a variety of competitive challenges from other apparel manufacturers both in China and elsewhere. Some of these competitors have greater financial and marketing resources than we do and may be able to adapt to changes in consumer preferences or retail requirements more quickly, devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products or adopt more aggressive pricing policies than we can. As a result, we may not be able to compete successfully with them.
16
The success of our business depends upon our ability to offer innovative and upgraded products at attractive price points.
The worldwide apparel industry is characterized by constant product innovation due to changing consumer preferences and by the rapid replication of new products by competitors. As a result, our success depends in large part on our ability to continuously and rapidly respond to customer requirements for innovative and stylish products at a competitive pace, intensity, and price. Failure on our part to regularly and rapidly respond to customer requirements could adversely affect our ability to retain our existing customers or to acquire new customers which would limit our sales growth.
The worldwide apparel industry is subject to ongoing pricing pressure.
The apparel market is characterized by low barriers to entry for both suppliers and marketers, global sourcing through suppliers located throughout the world, trade liberalization, continuing movement of product sourcing to lower cost countries, ongoing emergence of new competitors with widely varying strategies and resources, and an increasing focus on apparel in the mass merchant channel of distribution. These factors contribute to ongoing pricing pressure throughout the supply chain. This pressure has and may continue to:
|
• |
require us to reduce wholesale prices on existing products; |
|
• |
result in reduced gross margins across our product lines; |
|
• |
increase pressure on us to further reduce our production costs and our operating expenses. |
Any of these factors could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
Increases in the price of raw materials or their reduced availability could increase our cost of goods and decrease our profitability.
We purchase raw materials directly from local fabric and accessory suppliers. The Company may also import specialty fabrics to meet specific customer requirements. The Company also purchases finished goods from other contract manufacturers. The prices we charge for our products are dependent in part on the market price for raw materials used to produce them. The price and availability of our raw materials may fluctuate substantially, depending on a variety of factors, including demand, crop yields, weather, supply conditions, transportation costs, government regulation, economic climates and other unpredictable factors. Any raw material price increases could increase our cost of goods and decrease our profitability unless we are able to pass higher prices on to our customers.
One supplier represented approximately 11% of the Company’s raw materials purchases in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, two suppliers represented approximately 12% and 10%, respectively of the Company’s raw materials purchases in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, and one supplier represented approximately 17% of the Company’s raw materials purchases in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Although we enter into written agreements for each supply order, we do not have long-term written agreements with any of these suppliers and do not anticipate entering into any such agreements in the near future. We do not believe that the loss of any of these suppliers would have a material adverse affect on our ability to obtain finished goods or raw materials essential to our business because we believe that we can locate other suppliers in a timely manner.
Risks Relating to Our Business
We depend on a group of key customers for a significant portion of our sales. A significant adverse change in a customer relationship or in a customer’s performance or financial position could harm our business and financial condition.
As of December 31, 2006, three of our customers represented approximately 46% of the Company’s total sales. Net sales to our three largest customers totaled approximately 46% and 54% of total net sales in 2006 and 2005, respectively. Our largest customer accounted for approximately 22% and 22% of net sales in 2006 and 2005, respectively. The garment manufacturing industry has experienced substantial consolidation in recent years, which has resulted in increased customer leverage over suppliers, greater exposure for suppliers to credit risk and an increased emphasis by customers on inventory management and productivity.
A decision by a major customer, whether motivated by competitive considerations, strategic shifts, financial requirements or difficulties, economic conditions or otherwise, to decrease its purchases from us or to change its manner of doing business with us, could adversely affect our business and financial condition. In addition, while we have long-standing customer relationships, we do not have long term contracts with any of our customers.
As a result, purchases generally occur on an order-by-order basis, and the relationship, as well as particular orders, can generally be terminated by either party at any time. We do not believe that there is a material risk of loss of any of these customers during the next 12 months. We also believe that the unexpected loss of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s earnings or financial condition, although we believe that we could replace these customers within 12 months. None of the Company or its affiliates are officers, directors or material shareholders of any of these customers.
17
Our internal controls and procedures have been materially deficient, and we are in the process of correcting internal control deficiencies.
In the second quarter of 2007, resulting from comments by and discussions with the Staff of the SEC related to the Company’s Preliminary Information Statement on Form 14C, the Company and its independent registered public accounting firm recognized that our internal controls had material weaknesses. We are restating our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 and our quarterly results for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as a result of our purchase accounting for the acquisition of New-Tailun completed on December 30, 2006.
If we cannot rectify these material weaknesses through remedial measures and improvements to our systems and procedures, management may encounter difficulties in timely assessing business performance and identifying incipient strategic and oversight issues. Management is currently focused on remedying internal control deficiencies, and this focus will require management from time to time to devote its attention away from other planning, oversight and performance functions.
We cannot provide assurances as to the timing of the completion of these efforts. We cannot be certain that the measures we take will ensure that we implement and maintain adequate internal controls in the future. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations.
We will be required to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Failure to timely comply with the requirements of Section 404 or any adverse results from such evaluation could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and have an adverse effect on the trading price of our debt securities.
We are not currently an “accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Beginning with our Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 2007, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will require us to include an internal control report with our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. That report must include management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the fiscal year. This report must also include disclosure of any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that we have identified. Additionally, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to issue reports on management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and their evaluation of the operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our assessment requires us to make subjective judgments and our independent registered public accounting firm may not agree with our assessment.
Achieving compliance with Section 404 within the prescribed period may require us to incur significant costs and expend significant time and management resources. We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the work necessary for our management to issue its management report in a timely manner, or that we will be able to complete any work required for our management to be able to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is operating effectively. If we are not able to complete the assessment under Section 404 in a timely manner, we and our independent registered public accounting firm would be unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2007. As a result, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our debt securities. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm may not agree with our management’s assessment or conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is operating effectively.
As the Company is listed on the over-the-counter bulletin board, the Company is subject to less stringent corporate governance requirements than a company listed on a national exchange. Specifically, the Company is not required to have a majority of independent directors or a separate audit committee. This provides less protection to our investors.
The Company’s board of directors currently does not have a separate audit committee or a member that qualifies as an audit committee financial expert or an independent director. The Company’s management and board of directors are considering the addition of an independent director who qualified as a financial expert but there can be no assurance the Company will be able to attract one or more qualified independent directors or that any such directors can be added to the Company’s board as it may require us to increase the number of director on the Company’s board of directors, seek the resignation of directors who are not independent, or some combination thereof. If the Company is unable to attract qualified independent directors or nominate or elect such directors, the Company’s security holders will not have the protections provided by having independent directors or audit committee members. Although we believe that all actions taken by our directors on our behalf will be in our best interests, whether or not they are deemed to be independent, we cannot assure you that this will actually be the case. If actions are taken, or expenses are incurred that are not in our best interests, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations and the price of our stock held by our stockholders.
18
We must successfully maintain and/or upgrade our information technology systems.
We rely on various information technology systems to manage our operations and we regularly evaluate these systems against our current and expected requirements. Although we have no current plans to implement modifications or upgrades to our systems, we will eventually be required to make changes to legacy systems and acquiring new systems with new functionality. We do anticipate that the aggregate cost of updating such systems will be approximately USD 600,000 over the next 36 months. We will also continue to self-develop and update our information systems on a timely basis to meet our business expansion needs. Any information technology system disruptions, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated, could have an adverse effect on our business and operations.
We may engage in future acquisitions and strategic investments that dilute the ownership percentage of our shareholders and require the use of cash, incur debt or assume contingent liabilities.
As part of our business strategy, we expect to continue to review opportunities to buy or invest in other businesses or technologies that we believe would enhance our manufacturing capabilities, or that may otherwise offer growth opportunities. If we buy or invest in other businesses in the future, we could: require the use of cash, incur debt or assume contingent liabilities.
As part of our business strategy, we expect to continue to review opportunities to buy or invest in other businesses or technologies that we believe would complement our current products, expand the breadth of our markets or enhance our technical capabilities, or that may otherwise offer growth opportunities. If we buy or invest in other businesses, products or technologies in the future, we could:
|
• |
incur significant unplanned expenses and personnel costs; |
|
• |
issue stock that would dilute our current shareholders’ percentage ownership; |
|
• |
use cash, which may result in a reduction of our liquidity; |
|
• |
incur debt; |
|
• |
assume liabilities; and |
|
• |
spend resources on unconsummated transactions. |
We may not realize the anticipated benefits of this acquisition, or of past or future acquisitions and strategic investments, and integration of acquisitions may disrupt our business and management.
In addition to the acquisition of Catch-Luck described in this Information Statement, we may in the future acquire or make strategic investments in additional companies. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of these or any other acquisitions or strategic investments, which involve numerous risks, including:
|
• |
problems integrating the purchased operations, technologies, personnel or products over geographically disparate locations; |
|
• |
unanticipated costs, litigation and other contingent liabilities; |
|
• |
diversion of management’s attention from our core business; |
|
• |
adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers; |
|
• |
incurrence of acquisition-related costs or amortization costs for acquired intangible assets that could impact our operating results; |
|
• |
inability to retain key customers, distributors, vendors and other business partners of the acquired business; and |
|
• |
potential loss of our key employees or the key employees of an acquired organization. |
If we are not be able to successfully integrate businesses, products, technologies or personnel that we acquire, or to realize expected benefits of our acquisitions or strategic investments, our business and financial results may be adversely affected.
International political instability and concerns about other international crises may increase our cost of doing business and disrupt our business.
International political instability may halt or hinder our ability to do business and may increase our costs. Various events, including the occurrence or threat of terrorist attacks, increased national security measures in the United States and other countries, and military action and armed conflicts, can suddenly increase international tensions. Increases in energy prices will also impact our costs and could harm our operating results. In addition, concerns about other international crises, such as the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome (“SARS”), avian influenza, or bird flu, and West Nile viruses, may have an adverse effect on the world economy and could adversely affect our business operations or the operations of our OEM partners, contract manufacturer and suppliers. This political instability and concerns about other international crises may, for example:
|
• |
negatively affect the reliability and cost of transportation; |
|
• |
negatively affect the desire and ability of our employees and customers to travel; |
|
• |
adversely affect our ability to obtain adequate insurance at reasonable rates; and |
|
• |
require us to take extra security precautions for our operations. |
19
Furthermore, to the extent that air or sea transportation is delayed or disrupted, our operations may be disrupted, particularly if shipments of our products are delayed.
Business interruptions could adversely affect our business.
Our operations and the operations of our suppliers and customers are vulnerable to interruption by fire, earthquake, hurricanes, power loss, telecommunications failure and other events beyond our control. In the event of a major natural disaster, we could experience business interruptions, destruction of facilities and loss of life. In the event that a material business interruption occurs that affects us or our suppliers or customers, shipments could be delayed and our business and financial results could be harmed.
The market for the Company’s common stock is illiquid.
The Company’s common stock is traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. It is thinly traded compared to larger more widely known companies in its industry. Thinly traded common stock can be more volatile than stock trading in an active public market. The Company cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for its common stock will develop or be sustained. The high and low bid price of Ever-glory’s common stock during the past 52 week period is $1.87 and $0.27 respectively.
Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
NASD sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the NASD has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the NASD believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
Because our assets are located overseas, stockholders may not receive distributions that they would otherwise be entitled to if we were declared bankrupt or insolvent.
Our assets are, for the most part, located in the PRC. Because the Company’s assets are located overseas, the assets of the Company may be outside of the jurisdiction of U.S. courts to administer if the Company was the subject of an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding. As a result, if the Company was declared bankrupt or insolvent, the Company’s stockholders may not receive the distributions on liquidation that they are otherwise entitled to under U.S. bankruptcy law.
Export quotas imposed by the WTO could negatively affect our business and operations, particularly if the Chinese government changes its allocation of such quotas to the Company.
Pursuant to the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement, effective January 1, 2005, the United States and other WTO member countries removed quotas from WTO members. In certain instances, the elimination of quotas affords the Company greater access to foreign markets; however, as the removal of quotas resulted in an import surge
20
from China, the U.S. took action in May 2005 and imposed safeguard quotas on seven categories of goods. Exports of each specified product category will continue to be admitted into the United States in the ordinary course until the restraint level for that category is reached, after which further exports will be embargoed and will not be cleared until after January 2006. Additionally, on June 10, 2005, in response to the surge of Chinese imports into the European Union (EU), the EU Commission signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with China in which ten categories of textiles and apparel will be subject to restraints.
Although certain of the Company’s apparel products fall within the categories subject to the quotas with respect to exports to the United States and Europe, the Chinese government allocated a portion of the aggregate export quota to the Company based upon the amount of product that the Company exported in the prior year. The imposition of such quotas did not have a material affect on the Company’s net sales, although it did impact its gross margin. See “Results of Operations” above. As a result of the Company’s prior export performance, it was awarded a sufficient portion of the export quotas to enable it to increase its sales to customers in Europe and the U.S. despite the reinstitution of export quotas. In order to increase the Company’s allocation of future export quotas, however, the Company accepted more orders for lower margin products, which had an adverse affect on the Company’s gross margins. The Company believes that its customer mix and its ability to adjust the types of apparel it manufactures will mitigate its exposure to such trade restrictions in the future. However, there can be no assurance that additional trade restrictions will not be imposed on the exports of the Company’s products in the future. Such actions could result in increases in the cost of its products generally and may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations. The Company continues to monitor the developments described above.
We expect to experience volatility in our stock price, which could negatively affect shareholders’ investments.
The market price for shares of the Company’s common stock may be volatile and may fluctuate based upon a number of factors, including, without limitation, business performance, news announcements or changes in general market conditions.
Other factors, in addition to the those risks included in this section, that may have a significant impact on the market price of the Company’s common stock include, but are not limited to:
|
• |
receipt of substantial orders or order cancellations of products; |
|
• |
quality deficiencies in services or products; |
|
• |
international developments, such as technology mandates, political developments or changes in economic policies; |
|
• |
changes in recommendations of securities analysts; |
|
• |
shortfalls in the Company’s backlog, revenues or earnings in any given period relative to the levels expected by securities analysts or projected by the Company; |
|
• |
government regulations, including stock option accounting and tax regulations; |
|
• |
energy blackouts; |
|
• |
acts of terrorism and war; |
|
• |
widespread illness; |
|
• |
proprietary rights or product or patent litigation; |
|
• |
strategic transactions, such as acquisitions and divestitures; |
|
• |
rumors or allegations regarding the Company’s financial disclosures or practices; or |
|
• |
earthquakes or other natural disasters concentrated in Nanjing, China where a significant portion of the Company’s operations are based. |
In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. Due to changes in the volatility of the Company’s common stock price, the Company may be the target of securities litigation in the future. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of:
Ever-Glory International Group, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ever-Glory International Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 (restated) and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 (restated) and 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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 audits of the financial statements provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ever-Glory International Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 (restated) and 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 (restated) and 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 2, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 have been restated.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 (RESTATED) AND 2005
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
(A) Organization
Ever-Glory International Group, Inc. (“EGLY”) was incorporated in Florida on October 19, 1994.
Perfect Dream Limited (“Perfect Dream”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on July 1, 2004. Goldenway Nanjing Garments Company Limited (“Goldenway”), a People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) wholly foreign-owned enterprise was incorporated on December 31, 1993. Goldenway is principally engaged in the manufacturing and sale of garments.
During 2004, Perfect Dream acquired 100% of Goldenway for a cash in the amount of $1,338,404. The transaction was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control as the companies were beneficially owned by principally identical stockholders and shared common management.
On July 29, 2005, EGLY entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with the stockholders of Perfect Dream whereby the stockholders of Perfect Dream exchanged 100% of their shares of Perfect Dream for 7,673,325 shares of restricted common stock of EGLY.
On completion of the reorganization, the merger of EGLY and Perfect Dream was treated for accounting purposes as a capital transaction and recapitalization by Perfect Dream (“the accounting acquirer”) and reorganization by EGLY (“the accounting acquiree”). The financial statements have been prepared as if the reorganization had occurred retroactively.
Accordingly, the financial statements include the following:
|
(1) |
The balance sheet consists of the net assets of the acquirer at historical cost and the net assets of the acquiree at historical cost. |
|
(2) |
The statement of operations includes the operations of the acquirer for the periods presented and the operations of the acquiree from the date of the merger. |
On November 17, 2005, EGLY filed an Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Ever-Glory International Group, Inc.
On November 9, 2006, Perfect Dream entered into a purchase agreement with Ever-Glory Enterprises (HK) Limited (“Ever-Glory Hong Kong”) whereby Ever-Glory Hong Kong sold 100% interest of Nanjing New-Tailun Garments Company Limited (“New-Tailun”) to Perfect Dream (the “New-Tailun transaction”). Pursuant to the terms of the purchases agreement, Perfect Dream will pay to Ever-Glory Hong Kong an amount of $2,000,000 in cash and issue 20,833,333 shares of the EGLY’s restricted common stock having a value of $10,000,000, such value of shares were based on the preceding 30-day average of high bid and the low ask price for the EGLY’s common stock on the date of the transfer within 90 days of the closing of the New-Tailun transaction. The New-Tailun transaction closed on December 30, 2006.
New-Tailun is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise incorporated in PRC on March 27, 2006 with its principal place of business in Nanjing, PRC and is principally engaged in the manufacturing and sale of garments.
EGLY, Perfect Dream, Goldenway and New-Tailun are hereinafter referred to as (“the Company”).

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)
|
(B) |
Use of estimates |
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
(C) |
Principles of consolidation |
The accompanying 2006 and 2005 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EGLY and its 100% owned subsidiaries Perfect Dream, Goldenway and New-Tailun.
All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
|
(D) |
Cash and cash equivalents |
For purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits with a bank with maturities of less than three months.
|
(E) |
Accounts receivable |
The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and recorded based on managements’ assessment of the credit history with the customer and current relationships with them.
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company considers all its accounts receivable to be collectable and no provision for doubtful accounts has been made in the financial statements.
|
(F) |
Inventories |
Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market value, cost being determined on a specific identification method. The Company provided inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand.
|
(G) |
Long-lived assets |
The Company accounts for long-lived assets under the Statements of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 142 and 144 “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 142 and 144”). In accordance with SFAS No. 142 and 144, long-lived assets, goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, when undiscounted future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover an asset’s carrying amount, the asset is written down to its fair value.
|
(H) |
Property and equipment |
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for additions, major renewals and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis, less an estimated residual value over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Factory buildings |
15-20 Years | ||||
Leasehold improvements |
10 Years |
||||
Plant and machinery |
10 Years |
||||
Furniture and fixtures |

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)
|
(I) |
Fair value of financial instruments |
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are reflected in the financial statements at fair value because of the short-term maturity of the instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (trade and others), accounts payable (trade and related party) and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with what it believes to be high credit quality financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base, most of which are in Europe, Japan, the United States and the PRC. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limit and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.
|
(J) |
Revenue and cost recognition |
The Company recognizes revenue upon delivery for local sales and upon shipment of the products for export sales, at which time title passes to the customer provided that: there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance; persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the sales price is fixed and determinable; and collectibility is deemed probable.
Local transportation and unloading charges and product inspection charges are included in selling expenses.
Cost of goods sold includes the appropriate materials purchasing, receiving and inspection costs, inbound freight where applicable, direct labor cost and manufacturing overheads consistent with the revenue earned.
|
(K) |
Income taxes |
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“Statement 109”). Under Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date.
PRC income tax is computed according to the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC. According to the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC, enterprises with foreign investment in the PRC are entitled to full exemption from income tax for two years beginning from the first year the enterprise became profitable and had accumulated profits, and a 50% income tax reduction for the subsequent three years calculated in accordance with PRC GAAP.
Goldenway is entitled to a reduction of 50% of any income tax rate for achieving export sales in excess of 70% of its total sales since 2005.
New-Tailun was approved as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise in 2006 and is entitled to the income tax exemptions for 2006 and 2007.

|
(L) |
Foreign currency transactions |
EGLY, Perfect Dream, Goldenway and New-Tailun maintain their accounting records in their functional currencies of US$, US$, RMB and RMB respectively.
Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated to the functional currency at the approximate rates of exchange on the dates of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the approximate rates of exchange at that date. No-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the time the asset or liability was acquired. Exchange gains or losses are recorded in the statement of operations.
|
(M) |
Foreign currency translation |
The financial statements of Goldenway and New-Tailun (whose functional currency is the RMB) are translated into US$ using the closing rate method. The balance sheet items are translated into US$ using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. All exchange differences are recorded within equity. Translation gain for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $575,760 and $5,621 respectively.
|
(N) |
Comprehensive income |
The foreign currency translation gain or loss resulting from translation of the financial statements expressed in RMB to United States Dollars is reported as other comprehensive income in the statements of operations and stockholders’ equity. Comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $575,760 and $5,621 respectively.
|
(O) |
Income per share |
Basic income per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income 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.
|
(P) |
Segments |
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“SFAS 131”). SFAS establishes standards for operating information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. SFAS 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed herein, materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company’s principal operating segments. The Company operates in a single segment.
|
(Q) |
Recent accounting pronouncements |
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 requires companies to evaluate the materiality of identified unadjusted errors on each financial statement and related financial statement disclosure using both the rollover approach and the iron curtain approach. The rollover approach quantifies misstatements based on the effects of correcting the misstatement existing in the balance sheet at the end of the current year, irrespective of the misstatement’s year(s) of origin. Financial statements would require adjustment when either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that is material. Correcting prior year financial statements for immaterial errors would not require previously filed reports to be amended. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(Q) |
Recent accounting pronouncements |
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments” (SFAS 155”), which amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities” (SFAS 140”). SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133 to narrow the scope exception for interest-only and principal-only strips on debt instruments to include only such strips representing rights to receive a specified portion of the contractual interest or principle cash flows. SFAS 155 also amends SFAS 140 to allow qualifying special-purpose entities to hold a passive derivative financial instrument pertaining to beneficial interests that itself is a derivative instruments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new Standard, but believes that it will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment to FASB Statement No. 140 (“SFAS 156”). SFAS 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing rights be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. In addition, this statement permits an entity to choose between two measurement methods (amortization method or fair value measurement method) for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. This new accounting standard is effective January 1, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 156 to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This Interpretation provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the Company’s financial statements, only if the position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of the beginning of fiscal 2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new Standard, but believes that it will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.
In September 2006, FASB issued Statement 157, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). More precisely, this statement sets forth a standard definition of fair value as it applies to assets or liabilities, the principal market (or most advantageous market) for determining fair value (price), the market participants, inputs and the application of the derived fair value to those assets and liabilities. The effective date of this pronouncement is for all full fiscal and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new Standard, but believes that it will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.
In September 2006, FASB issued Statement 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, which amend FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). This statement requires employers to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its financial statements and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur. The effective date for the Company would be for any full fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new Standard, but believes that it will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

2. RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The acquisition by the Company of New-Tailun from Ever-Glory Hong Kong as originally reported was recorded at the fair value of the assets acquired. However, as a result of discussions with the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company determined that the acquisition of New-Tailun should have been accounted for as a merger of entities under common control in accordance with paragraph 11 of SFAS 141. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of New-Tailun should have been recorded at their carrying amounts, not their fair values and the consolidated financial statements of the Company should have been prepared as if the acquisition had occurred retroactively. The Company has therefore restated the accounting for its acquisition of New-Tailun in its Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2006.
A summary of significant effects of the restatement is as follows:

On November 9, 2006, Perfect Dream entered into a purchase agreement with Ever-Glory Enterprises (HK) Limited (“Ever-Glory Hong Kong”) whereby Ever-Glory Hong Kong sold 100% interest of Nanjing New-Tailun Garments Company Limited (“New Tailun”) to Perfect Dream (the “New-Tailun transaction”). Pursuant to the terms of the purchases agreement, Perfect Dream will pay to Ever-Glory Hong Kong an amount of $2,000,000 in cash and issue 20,833,333 shares of the EGLY’s restricted common stock having a value of $10,000,000, such value of shares were based on the preceding 30-day average of high bid and the low ask price for the EGLY’s common stock on the date of the transfer within 90 days of the closing of the New-Tailun transaction. The New-Tailun transaction closed on December 30, 2006.

NOTE 2. |
RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The acquisition by the Company of New-Tailun from Ever-Glory Hong Kong as originally reported was recorded at the fair value of the assets acquired. However, as a result of discussions with the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company determined that the acquisition of New-Tailun should have been accounted for as a merger of entities under common control in accordance with paragraph 11 of SFAS 141. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of New-Tailun should have been recorded at their carrying amounts, not their fair values and the consolidated financial statements of the Company should have been prepared as if the merger had occurred retroactively. The Company has therefore restated the accounting for its acquisition of New-Tailun in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity. The Company's restatement had no effect on its net income or cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
A summary of significant effects of the restatement is as follows:

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF MARCH 31, 2007 (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 3. |
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION |
The accompanying March 31, 2007 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EGLY and its 100% owned subsidiaries Perfect Dream, Goldenway and New-Tailun. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
NOTE 4. |
USE OF ESTIMATES |
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 5. |
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS |
For purpose of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits with a bank with a maturity of less than 3 months.
NOTE 6. |
LONG-LIVED ASSETS |
The Company accounts for long-lived assets under the Statements of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 142 and 144 “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 142 and 144”). In accordance with SFAS No. 142 and 144, long-lived assets, goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, when undiscounted future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover an asset’s carrying amount, the asset is written down to its fair value.
NOTE 7. |
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are reflected in the financial statements at fair value because of the short-term maturity of the instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (trade and others), accounts payable (trade and related party) and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with what it believes to be high credit quality financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base, most of which are in Europe, Japan, the United States and the PRC. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limit and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.

Basic income per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income 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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This Interpretation provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the Company’s financial statements, only if the position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of the beginning of fiscal 2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. We do not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
In September 2006, FASB issued Statement 157, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). More precisely, this statement sets forth a standard definition of fair value as it applies to assets or liabilities, the principle market (or most advantageous market) for determining fair value (price), the market participants, inputs and the application of the derived fair value to those assets and liabilities. The effective date of this pronouncement is for all full fiscal and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 will become effective for us on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new Standard, but believes that it will not have that it will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

Series A Convertible Preferred stock |
The Company authorized 10,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share.
Each share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had upon issuance the same voting, dividend and liquidation rights as 1,000 shares of common stock and will convert back into common stock at such time as the Company is able to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock. Effective November 8, 2006, the Company effected a 7.6-for-1 forward stock split on the remaining outstanding 2,627,861 shares, which increased the number of outstanding shares to 19,971,743 shares. Under the adjustment provisions of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the conversion, voting, dividend and liquidation ratios of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were all increased by the forward stock split from 1,000 for one to 7,600 for one (a total of 59,914,988 shares of common stock fully converted). The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be converted back into common stock at such time as the number of shares of authorized common stock is increased to 100,000,000 or more via a proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation. The relative voting and equity ownership of the Company’s stockholders was unchanged by the exchange for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the forward stock split. If all the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were converted as of March 31, 2007, there would be 79,886,746 outstanding shares of common stock.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PROFORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following consolidated (unaudited) condensed pro forma balance sheet reflects the financial position of Ever-Glory International Group, Inc. “EGLY” as of March 31, 2007 as if the merger with Nanjing Catch-Luck Garments Company Limited “Catch-Luck” had been completed as of that date, and the consolidated (unaudited) condensed pro forma statements of operations for EGLY for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, as if the merger of Catch-Luck had been completed on January 1, 2004.
The shareholder of Catch-Luck exchanged 100% of his ownership of Catch-Luck for shares of common stock of EGLY, having an aggregate fair market value of $3.4 million, and cash in the amount of $600,000 under a sales and purchase agreement. The $600,000 cash payment is a cash distribution to Catch-Luck’s shareholder who is also a majority shareholder of EGLY. The number of shares of common stock of EGLY will be determined as of the closing of the transaction by dividing $3.4 million by the fair market value of one share of common stock of EGLY. The fair market value shall be determined based on the average of the high bid and the low ask price for the 30-days preceding the closing of the transaction. Had the transaction closed on March 31, 2007, the preceding 30-day average of the high bid and low ask price would have been $0.34 and 10,000,000 shares of EGLY’s common stock would have been issued. The number of shares to be issued will have a direct impact on the net income per share on the pro forma financial statements.
The transfer has been accounted for as a merger of entities under common control as the companies were beneficially owned by identical shareholders and share common management. The financial statements have been prepared as if the merger had occurred retroactively.
The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for information purposes only and it is not necessarily indicative of the financial position and results of operations that would have been achieved had the transaction been completed as of the date indicated and is not necessarily indicative of EGLY’s future financial position or results of operations.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of EGLY and Catch-Luck.

Shareholder of Catch-Luck exchanged 100% of their ownership of Catch-Luck for common stocks of EGLY, having an aggregate fair market value of $3.4 million, and cash in the amount of $600,000 under a sale and purchase agreement. The transfer has been accounted for as a merger of entities under common control as the companies were beneficially owned by identical shareholders and share common management. The financial statements have been prepared as if the merger had occurred retroactively. |
(2) |
Reflects total consideration payable to shareholders of Catch-Luck - Cash $600,000 + 10,000,000 common shares valued at $0.34 per share = $4,000,000. The fair value of common stock is determined by the preceding 30-day average of the high bid and the low asking price quoted as of the closing of the transaction. Had the transaction closed on March 31, 2007, the preceding 30-day average of the high bid price and the low asking price would have been $0.34 and 10,000,000 shares of EGLY’s common stock would accordingly have been issued. |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005
1. |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION |
|
(A) |
Organization |
Nanjing Catch-Luck Garments Company Limited (the “Company”), a People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) sino-foreign joint venture enterprise was incorporated on December 21, 1995 with its principal place of business in Nanjing, PRC. On January 18, 2006, the Company became a wholly owned foreign enterprise.
The Company is principally engaged in the manufacturing and sale of garments to Europe and Japan.
|
(K) |
Use of estimates |
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
(L) |
Cash and cash equivalents |
For purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits with a bank with maturities of less than three months.
|
(M) |
Accounts receivable |
The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company considers all its accounts receivable to be collectable and no provision for doubtful accounts has been made in the financial statements.
|
(N) |
Inventories |
Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market value, cost being determined on a specific identification method. The Company provided inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand.
|
(O) |
Property and equipment |
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for additions, major renewals and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis, less an estimated residual value over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Factory buildings |
20 Years |
Plant and machinery | 10 Years |
Motor vehicles | 5 Years |
Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 5 Years |

NOTE 24. |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED) |
|
(P) |
Fair value of financial instruments |
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are reflected in the financial statements at fair value because of the short-term maturity of the instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (trade and others), accounts payable (trade and related party) and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with what it believes to be high credit quality financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base, most of which are in Europe, Japan, the United States and the PRC. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limit and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.
The Company’s major operation is in the PRC, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility of foreign exchange rates between the United States dollars (“US$”) and the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). On July 21, 2005, the PRC let the RMB fluctuate thereby ending its decade-old valuation peg to the US$. The new RMB rate reflects an approximately 2% increase in value against the US$. Historically, the PRC government has benchmarked the RMB exchange ratio against the US$, thereby mitigating the associated foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation risk. The Company does not believe that its foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation risk is significant, especially if the PRC government continues to benchmark the RMB against the US$.
|
(Q) |
Revenue recognition |
The Company recognizes revenue upon delivery for local sales or shipment of the products for export sales, at which time title passes to the customer provided that: there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance; persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the sales price is fixed and determinable; and collectability is deemed probable.
Local transportation and inspection charges for sales are included in selling expenses.
Cost of goods sold includes the appropriate materials purchasing, receiving and inspection costs, inbound freight where applicable, direct labor cost and manufacturing overheads consistent with the revenue earned.
|
(I) |
Income taxes |
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“Statement 109”). Under Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date.
PRC income tax is computed according to the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC. According to the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC, enterprises with foreign investment in the PRC are entitled to full exemption from income tax for two years beginning from the first year the enterprises become profitable and has accumulated profits and a 50% income tax reduction for the subsequent three years calculated in accordance with PRC GAAP. The Company was approved as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise in 2006 and is entitled to the income tax exemptions for 2006 and 2007.

(J) |
Foreign currency transactions |
The Company maintains its accounting records in their functional currencies of Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”).
Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated to the functional currency at the approximate rates of exchange on the dates of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the approximate rates of exchange at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the time the asset or liability was acquired. Exchange gains or losses are recorded in the statement of operations.
|
(K) |
Foreign currency translation |
The financial statements of the company (who functional currency is RMB) is translated into US$ using the closing rate method. The balance sheet items are translated into US$ using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. All exchange differences are recorded within equity. Translation gain/ (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $81,615 and ($7,310) respectively.
|
(L) |
Comprehensive income (loss) |
The foreign currency translation gain or loss resulting from translation of the financial statements expressed in RMB to United States Dollar is reported as other comprehensive loss in the statements of operations and stockholders’ equity. Comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $81,615 and ($7,310) respectively.
|
(M) |
Segments |
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“SFAS 131”). SFAS establishes standards for operating information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. SFAS 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in making decision how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed herein, materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company’s principal operating segments. The Company operates in a single segment.
|
(N) |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 requires companies to evaluate the materiality of identified unadjusted errors on each financial statement and related financial statement disclosure using both the rollover approach and the iron curtain approach. The rollover approach quantifies misstatements based on the effects of correcting the misstatement existing in the balance sheet at the end of the current year, irrespective of the misstatement’s year(s) of origin. Financial statements would require adjustment when either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that is material. Correcting prior year financial statements for immaterial errors would not require previously filed reports to be amended. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued) |
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments” (SFAS 155”), which amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities” (SFAS 140”). SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133 to narrow the scope exception for interest-only and principal-only strips on debt instruments to include only such strips representing rights to receive a specified portion of the contractual interest or principle cash flows. SFAS 155 also amends SFAS 140 to allow qualifying special-purpose entities t o hold a passive derivative financial instrument pertaining to beneficial interests that itself is a derivative instruments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new Standard, but believes that it will not have that it will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment to FASB Statement No. 140 (“SFAS 156”). SFAS 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing rights be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. In addition, this statement permits an entity to choose between two measurement methods (amortization method or fair value measurement method) for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. This new accounting standard is effective January 1, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 156 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This Interpretation provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the Company’s financial statements, only if the position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of the beginning of fiscal 2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new Standard, but believes that it will not have that it will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.
In September 2006, FASB issued Statement 157, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). More precisely, this statement sets forth a standard definition of fair value as it applies to assets or liabilities, the principal market (or most advantageous market) for determining fair value (price), the market participants, inputs and the application of the derived fair value to those assets and liabilities. The effective date of this pronouncement is for all full fiscal and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new Standard, but believes that it will not have that it will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.
In September 2006, FASB issued Statement 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, which amend FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). This statement requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its financial statements and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur. The effective date for the Company would be for any full fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 158 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 will become effective for us on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new Standard, but believes that it will not have that it will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF MARCH 31, 2007 (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 25. |
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Nanjing Catch-luck Garments Company Limited (the “Company”), the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) sino-foreign joint venture enterprise was incorporated on December 21, 1995 with its principal place of business in Nanjing, PRC. On January 18, 2006, the Company became a wholly owned foreign enterprise.
The Company is principally engaged in the manufacturing and sale of garments to Europe, the United States, the PRC and Japan.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring accruals considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2007, the results of operations for the three-month and three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. The results for the period ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.
NOTE 26. |
USE OF ESTIMATES |
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 27. |
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS |
For purpose of the unaudited condensed statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits with a bank with a maturity of less than 3 months.
NOTE 28. |
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are reflected in the financial statements at fair value because of the short-term maturity of the instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (trade and others), accounts payable (trade, related party and others) and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with what it believes to be high credit quality financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base, most of which are in Europe, Japan, the United States and the PRC. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limit and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.

RECLASSIFICATION |
Certain 2006 balances in the Statement of Operations have been reclassified to conform with the 2007 presentation.

SFAS 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in making decision how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed herein, materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company’s principal operating segments. The Company operates in a single segment.
NOTE 34. |
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNMENTS |
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This Interpretation provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the Company’s financial statements, only if the position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of the beginning of fiscal 2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. We do not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
In September 2006, FASB issued Statement 157, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). More precisely, this statement sets forth a standard definition of fair value as it applies to assets or liabilities, the principal market (or most advantageous market) for determining fair value (price), the market participants, inputs and the application of the derived fair value to those assets and liabilities. The effective date of this pronouncement is for all full fiscal and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 will become effective for us on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new Standard, but believes that it will not have that it will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.
