CHINA YILI PETROLEUM COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED)

 
 
1
MERGER TRANSACTION
 
 

On August 13, 2007 ASAP Show, Inc. ("ASAP Show") acquired the outstanding capital stock of Sino-American Petroleum Group, Inc., a Delaware Corporation ("Sino-American Petroleum"). Sino-American Petroleum is a holding company that owns all of the registered capital of Tongliao Yili Asphalt Co. ("Yili Asphalt"), a corporation organized under the laws of the People's Republic of China ("PRC").

In connection with the closing of the acquisition (the "Merger") on August 13, 2007, the following took place:

  • ASAP Show issued to the stockholders of Sino-American Petroleum 200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which will be convertible into 569,348,000 shares of common stock after the distribution of the ASAP Holdings shares discussed below

  • The Company issued 100,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for $600,000. The 100,000 shares will be convertible into 284,674,000 shares of common stock after the distribution of the ASAP Holdings shares discussed below. The three purchasers assigned their interest in most of the Series A Preferred shares to other individuals, none of whom acquired sufficient shares to be a controlling stockholder of ASAP Show.


Prior to the Merger, ASAP Show assigned all of its pre-Merger business and assets of ASAP Holdings, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, and ASAP Holdings assumed responsibility for all of the liabilities of ASAP Show that existed prior to the merger. At the same time, ASAP Show entered into a management agreement with Frank Yuan, its previous CEO, and ASAP Holdings. The management agreement provides that Mr. Yuan will cause ASAP Holdings to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that will, when declared effective, permit ASAP Show to distribute all of the outstanding shares of ASAP Holdings to the holders of its common stock. After the registration statement is declared effective, the Board of Directors of ASAP Show will fix a record date, and stockholders of record on that date will receive the shares of ASAP Holdings in proportion to their ownership of ASAP Show common stock.

The merger of Yili Asphalt into the Company is accounted for as a reverse merger. Accordingly, the historic financial statements of Yili Asphalt replaced the historic financial statement of the Company prior to the reverse merger. On October 22, 2007, ASAP Show, Inc. changed its corporate name to China Yili Petroleum Company (the "Company").

 
 

2
BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
 

Yili Asphalt is engaged in the business of refining heavy oil into asphalt, fuel oil, and lubricants in China. ASAP Show, Inc. is engaged in the business of organizing trade-shows and innovative means of financing international trade. All revenue and substantially all expenses included in the financial statements relate to ASAP Show, Inc.

 
3
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Yili Asphalt and ASAP Show, Inc. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 
6

4
GOING CONCERN
 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown on the accompanying financial statements, at September 30, 2007, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $2,672,115. In addition, Yili Asphalt has not generated any revenues. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 
5
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Uses of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
 

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

 
Cash
 

The Company maintains cash with financial institutions in the PRC. The Company performs periodic evaluation of the relative credit standing of financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy.

Inventories
 

Inventories, consisting of raw materials and supplies, are valued at the lower of cost as determined by the first-in, first out method or market.

Deferred income taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109" which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  In addition, SFAS 109 requires recognition of future tax benefits, such as carryforwards, to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not and that a valuation allowance be provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
 
7

Currency translation
 
Since the Company operates solely in the PRC, the Company's functional currency is the Chinese Yuan ("RMB").    Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rates as of the balance sheet date and records the related translation adjustments as a component of other comprehensive income (loss).  Revenue and expenses are translated using average exchange rates prevailing during the period.  Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in current operations.

RISK FACTORS

Vulnerability due to Operations in PRC

The Company's operations may be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in the PRC.  Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than 20 years, no assurance can be given that the PRC government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption or unforeseen circumstances affecting the PRC's political, economic and social conditions. There is also no guarantee that the PRC government's pursuit of economic reforms will be consistent or effective.

The People's Bank of China or other banks are authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People's Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the People's Bank of China or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers' invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts.

Due to certain restrictions on currency exchanges that exist in the PRC, the Company's ability to use revenue generated in RMB to pay any dividend payments to its shareholders may be limited.


Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk is primarily cash.  As of September 30, 2007, substantially all of the Company's cash was managed by financial institutions.

Other Risks

The Company conducts business in an industry that is subject to a broad array of environmental laws and regulations. The Company's cost to comply with these laws and regulations are charged to expenses are incurred.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Outline of Our Business

China Yili Petroleum Company (the “Company”) was incorporated in December 2004 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Until August 13, 2007 the Company was engaged exclusively in operating the business of organizing trade-shows and innovative means of financing international trade.   On August 13, 2007 the Company acquired all of the registered capital of Yili Asphalt Co. (“Yili Asphalt”), a corporation organized under the laws of The People’s Republic of China.  Yili Asphalt is engaged in the business of refining heavy oil into asphalt, fuel oil and lubricants.   

Yili Asphalt was organized in 2005 as a limited company under the laws of The People’s Republic of China.  Its offices and manufacturing facilities are located 10 km from the City of Tongliao, which is a prefecture level city in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in northern China.   Since 2005 Yili Asphalt has been engaged in developing a state-of-the-art facility for refining petroleum to produce three categories of end products:  asphalt, diesel fuel and lubricants.  The facility that it has developed has the capacity to produce, each day, 1300 tons of diesel fuel (current market value - $3680 per ton), 780 tons of asphalt (current market value - $300 per ton), and 520 tons of lubricants (current market value - $600 per ton).  When we launch our operations, we will immediately be the largest asphalt producer in Inner Mongolia.  

Our facility is now complete.  And we have finally secured all of the government licenses that we require in order to operate a refinery.  Our plan is to initiate production as soon as we are able to secure the necessary working capital.  

Currently, therefore, the Company has two subsidiaries:  

·

ASAP Holdings, Inc., which carries on the show and trade services business, and the oil refining business, and

·

Yili Asphalt Co., which carries on the oil refinery business.


ASAP Holdings is currently preparing a registration statement in contemplation of a spin-off of ASAP Holdings by the Company.  After the Securities and Exchange Commission declares the registration statement effective, the Company will declare a dividend to its shareholders of all of the outstanding stock of ASAP Holdings.  The Company will thereafter be engaged exclusively in the refinery business.


Results of Operations


All of the revenue and most of the expenses reported by the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2007 were generated by ASAP Holdings.  These do not, however, reflect all of the revenue and expenses of ASAP Holdings for that three month period.  Because the merger of Yili Asphalt into the Company on August 13, 2007 is accounted for as a reverse merger, the historic financial statements of Yili Asphalt have replaced the historic financial statements of the Company prior to the reverse merger.  Only the results of operations of ASAP Holdings occurring after August 13, 2007 are consolidated in the financial results reported in this Quarterly Report.  For this reason the Company’s statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 reflects only the relatively low level of expenses incurred by Yili Asphalt in that period, and none of the revenue or expenses previously reported by the Company for that period.



11

 


The $508,612 in revenue reported by ASAP Holdings for the period from August 13, 2007 to September 30, 2007 arose primarily from its business of selling exhibit space at trade shows.  Trade show business is seasonal, however, with revenue typically peaking at the time of the ASAP Global Sourcing shows held in February and August each year.  In the twelve months that ended on May 31, 2007, approximately 58% of annual tradeshow revenue was generated by ASAP Holdings in connection with its August show and approximately 42% in connection with its February show. The revenue reported in this Quarterly Report, therefore, is not indicative of the annual revenue that ASAP Holdings will realize.

Of the $524,420 in expenses reported by the Company for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, $438,965 were attributable to the operations of ASAP Holdings for the period from August 13, 2007 to September 30, 2007.  These expenses generally involve production costs, marketing expenses, promotion costs and travel expenses relating to the show staged in August.  

ASAP Holdings realized net income of $69,647 for the period from August 13, 2007 to September 30, 2007.  For the three months ended September 30, 2007, Yili Asphalt realized a net loss of $85,455.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, Yili Asphalt realized a net loss of $363,555.  Yili Asphalt’s expenses relate to its activities in completing its factory, finalizing the development of its products, and securing the government licenses necessary for it to carry out its business plan.  The Company also incurred administrative expenses during the quarter relating to the merger of Yili Asphalt into the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s agreement with the management of ASAP Holdings provides that ASAP Holdings will, after it is spun-off to the Company’s shareholders, indemnify the Company against any liabilities that arose prior to August 13, 2007 or that relate to the business of ASAP Holdings. For this reason, the discussion of liquidity and capital resources below involves the business plan and resources of Yili Asphalt only.

Management anticipates that Yili Asphalt will commence revenue-producing operations in the coming months.  In order to do so, however, Yili Asphalt will have to obtain approximately $500,000 in working capital to fund the initiation of operations.  Management plans to approach a Chinese bank in order to borrow those funds from a Chinese bank on a secured basis, since Yili Asphalt has $8.1 million in capital assets on its books that are currently free of liens.  To date, however, it has not obtained a commitment for the funds.  If there is a delay in securing the necessary funds, the date for initiation of revenue-producing operations will be likewise delayed.

Because the Company’s refining process yields three different end products (asphalt, diesel fuel, lubricants), the Company’s initial operations will entail a sudden increase in working capital demands.  Among the more significant funding demands will be:

·

Inventory.  Yili Asphalt will have to fund the carrying cost of a large inventory of products, including the investment in raw petroleum, the cost of storage, and the cost of transportation.

·

Marketing.  Yili Asphalt intends to engage in direct marketing of all products lines.  Management expects that its direct marketing program will prove to be more efficient over the long term than a distribution network.  However, the initial burden on its working capital



12

 


will be considerable, as Yili Asphalt will have to carry the full cost of a sales staff, the expenses of their marketing activities, such as travel, entertainment, and promotion, and the expenses attendant to sales accounting.

·

Potentially Inefficient Use of Facilities.  To optimize the utilization of our refinery, we will have to generate sales of our products in the proportions in which the refinery is designed to produce them:  roughly 6:3:2 for fuel, asphalt and lubricants respectively.  It is unlikely that sales will occur naturally in those proportions.  If sales in one or two of the categories lag the other(s), management will face the Hobson’s choice of delaying production in the faster selling category, thus losing the benefit of the demand for that category, or tolerating excess inventories of the slower selling categories.  This situation would result in additional demands on our working capital.

In addition to our need for working capital to initiate production, our business plan calls for substantial capital investment over the next twelve months.  The primary purposes for which we anticipate a need for capital are:

·

Additional Working Capital for Growth.  We believe there is a high demand for our products in Inner Mongolia and the neighboring provinces.  If we are correct, then demand could enable us to quickly expand our operations to full capacity.  Growth at that rapid rate would require a commitment of many millions of Dollars for working capital.  Our management will have to assess the value of the market opportunities that present themselves, and weight them against the cost of such capital as may be made available to us.

·

Construction of Dedicated Rail Line.  The government of Inner Mongolia has committed to construct a rail line that will have a siding at our refinery.  Construction is scheduled in 2008.  The benefit to us in terms of reduced transportation costs would be substantial.  The government’s proposal, however, contemplates that Yili Asphalt will make a substantial capital contribution toward the construction project.  The amount of the contribution has not been determined.

·

Acquisition of Refinery.  Chunshi Li, our Chairman, has committed to purchase Mongolia Kailu Yili Asphalt Co., Ltd., an asphalt company with a production capacity of 100,000 tons. He intends to assign his rights in Mongolia Kailu to Yili Asphalt if we are able to fund the cost.  The purchase price will be 20 million RMB (approximately $2.5 million).  In addition, Mongolia Kailu is currently unproductive due to deterioration of its facilities.  In order to bring it back online, we will have to fund the construction of a waterproof coiled material production line at its plant, which will entail an investment of several million more Renminbi.

At the present time, we have received no commitments for the funds required for our planned capital investments.  Obtaining those funds, if we can do so, will require that we issue substantial amounts of equity securities or incur significant debts.  We believe that the expected return on those investments will justify the cost.  However, our plan, if accomplished, will significantly increase the risks to our liquidity.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


The Company has no any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition or results of operations.



13

 



Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results


You should carefully consider the risks described below before buying our common stock.  If any of the risks described below actually occurs, that event could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.  


Because we have not yet commenced our production operations, unexpected factors may hamper our efforts to implement our business plan.

We do not expect to record our first sale before the end of 2007, and even that depends on our success in securing working capital.  Our business plan contemplates that we will engage in a three-pronged marketing operation, involving production and sales of diesel fuel, asphalt as well as lubricants.  Implementation of that business plan will also entail complex production operations and an active sales force.  Because these are areas in which we have limited experience, problems may occur with production or marketing that we have not anticipated, which would interfere with our business, and prevent us from achieving profitability.


Our profits will be limited unless we are able to secure a sufficient supply of heavy oil.

We manufacture our products by refining petroleum.  The price of petroleum on both the Chinese market and the international market is much higher today than it was five years ago, and our expectation is that the price will remain high for the foreseeable future.  Particularly in China, which has experienced unprecedented industrial growth in the past twenty years, the demand for petroleum exceeds the supply.  Therefore, in order to achieve efficient operations, it will be necessary for us to develop redundant sources of heavy oil, as we cannot rely on one or two relationships to provide the steady flow of oil that we will need.  If we are unable to achieve that redundancy and have interruptions in our petroleum supplies, our profitability will be limited.

 

Fluctuations in oil prices could impede our efforts to achieve profitability.

The market price of crude oil fluctuates dramatically, driven by economic, political and geological factors that are completely outside our control.  We do not intend to engage in hedging against changes in crude oil prices.  As a result, a sudden increase in the cost of our raw material – i.e. oil – could reduce or eliminate our profit margin.  Although we could respond to the increase by a proportionate increase in our price list, competitive forces might prevent us from doing so – in particular competition from asphalt and diesel fuel producers that are themselves oil producers and are thus shielded from the full effect of increased oil prices.


The capital investments that we plan for the next two years may result in dilution of the equity of our present shareholders.

Our business plan contemplates that we will invest at least 30 million RMB ($3.8 million) in working capital and acquisitions during the next twelve months, and an undetermined amount in the development of a rail line to our refinery.  We intend to raise a portion of the necessary funds by selling equity in our company.  At present we have no commitment from any source for those funds.  We cannot determine, therefore, the terms on which we will be able to raise the necessary funds.  It is possible that we will be required to dilute the value of our current shareholders’ equity



14

 


in order to obtain the funds.  If, however, we are unable to raise the necessary funds, our growth will be limited, as will our ability to compete effectively.


A recession in China could significantly hinder our growth.

The growing demand for petroleum products in China has been swelled, in large part, by the recent dramatic increases in industrial production in China.  The continued growth of our market will depend on continuation of recent improvements in the Chinese economy.  If the Chinese economy were to contract and investment capital became limited, construction projects would be delayed or abandoned, and the demand for our asphalt would be reduced.  Many financial commentators expect a recession to occur in China in the near future.  The occurrence of a recession could significantly hinder our efforts to implement our business plan.


Increased environmental regulation could diminish our profits.

The refining of petroleum involves the production of pollutants.  In addition, the transportation of petroleum products entails a risk of spills that may result in long-term damage to the environment.  At the present time we estimate that our compliance with applicable government regulations designed to protect the environment will cost us 1 million RMB (approximately $125,000) per year.  There is increasing concern in China, however, over the degradation of the environment that has accompanied its recent industrial growth.  It is likely that additional government regulation will be introduced in order to protect the environment.  Compliance with such new regulations could impose on us substantial costs, which would reduce our profits.


Our business and growth will suffer if we are unable to hire and retain key personnel that are in high demand.

Our future success depends on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled petroleum engineers, production supervisors, transportation specialists and marketing personnel.  In general, qualified individuals are in high demand in China, and there are insufficient experienced personnel to fill the demand.  In a specialized scientific field, such as ours, the demand for qualified individuals is even greater.  If we are unable to successfully attract or retain the personnel we need to succeed, we will be unable to implement our business plan.


We may have difficulty establishing adequate management and financial controls in China.

The People’s Republic of China has only recently begun to adopt the management and financial reporting concepts and practices that investors in the United States are familiar with.  We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining employees in China who have the experience necessary to implement the kind of management and financial controls that are expected of a United States public company.  If we cannot establish such controls, we may experience difficulty in collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet U.S. standards.


Government regulation may hinder our ability to function efficiently.

The national, provincial and local governments in the People’s Republic of China are highly bureaucratized.  The day-to-day operations of our business require frequent interaction with



15

 


representatives of the Chinese government institutions.  The effort to obtain the registrations, licenses and permits necessary to carry out our business activities can be daunting.  Significant delays can result from the need to obtain governmental approval of our activities.  These delays can have an adverse effect on the profitability of our operations.  In addition, compliance with regulatory requirements applicable to petroleum refining may increase the cost of our operations, which would adversely affect our profitability.


Capital outflow policies in China may hamper our ability to pay dividends to shareholders in the United States.

The People’s Republic of China has adopted currency and capital transfer regulations. These regulations require that we comply with complex regulations for the movement of capital. Although Chinese governmental policies were introduced in 1996 to allow the convertibility of RMB into foreign currency for current account items, conversion of RMB into foreign exchange for capital items, such as foreign direct investment, loans or securities, requires the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. We may be unable to obtain all of the required conversion approvals for our operations, and Chinese regulatory authorities may impose greater restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB in the future. Because most of our future revenues will be in RMB, any inability to obtain the requisite approvals or any future restrictions on currency exchanges will limit our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.   


Currency fluctuations may adversely affect our operating results.

Yili Asphalt generates revenues and incurs expenses and liabilities in Renminbi, the currency of the People’s Republic of China.  However, as a subsidiary of the Company, it will report its financial results in the United States in U.S. Dollars.  As a result, our financial results will be subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations between these currencies.  From time to time, the government of China may take action to stimulate the Chinese economy that will have the effect of reducing the value of Renminbi.  In addition, international currency markets may cause significant adjustments to occur in the value of the Renminbi.  Any such events that result in a devaluation of the Renminbi versus the U.S. Dollar will have an adverse effect on our reported results.  We have not entered into agreements or purchased instruments to hedge our exchange rate risks.


We have limited business insurance coverage.

The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and do not, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, while business disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time. Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.


The Company is not likely to hold annual shareholder meetings in the next few years.

Management does not expect to hold annual meetings of shareholders in the next few years,



16

 


due to the expense involved.  The current members of the Board of Directors were appointed to that position by the previous directors.  If other directors are added to the Board in the future, it is likely that the current directors will appoint them.  As a result, the Company’s shareholders will have no effective means of exercising control over the Company’s operations.


ITEM 3.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007.  Pursuant to Rule13a-15(e) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures that are designed to insure that information required to be disclosed by China Yili Petroleum in the reports that it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time limits specified in the Commission’s rules.  “Disclosure controls and procedures” include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to insure that information China Yili Petroleum is required to disclose in the reports it files with the Commission is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based on his evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that China Yili Petroleum’s system of disclosure controls and procedures was effective as of September 30, 2007 for the purposes described in this paragraph.


Changes in Internal Controls.  There was no change in internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act or 1934) identified in connection with the evaluation described in the preceding paragraph that occurred during China Yili Petroleum’s third fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect Itlinks Group’s internal control over financial reporting.
