Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
Cautionary Statements
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in
Part I, Item 1 of this Report. All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars.
The following discussion regarding the Company and its business and operations
contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act 1995. These statements consist of any statement other than
a recitation of historical fact and can be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as "may," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate" or
"continue" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable
terminology. The reader is cautioned that all forward-looking statements are
necessarily speculative and there are certain risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual events or results to differ materially from those referred to in
such forward looking statements. The Company does not have a policy of updating
or revising forward-looking statements and thus it should not be assumed that
silence by management of the Company over time means that actual events are
bearing out as estimated in such forward looking statements.
Overview
The Company is a Delaware corporation incorporated on September 10, 1993,
currently headquartered in Hong Kong SAR, People's Republic of China ("PRC"). It
has since engaged in various ventures and was led by numerous different
management teams for the last ten years. The most recent operation Company was
previously was known as Acola Corp. ("Acola"), which came into being on October
12, 2001. Acola was formed to attempt to distribute an anti-cancer drug in
Mexico, where it was unable to secure enough capital to obtain the exclusive
distribution rights to the drug and has had no business since 2002.
On March 10, 2004, Teda Travel Incorporated, a Florida Corporation ("Teda
Florida"), entered into a Share Exchange Agreement ("Exchange Agreement") with
its wholly owned subsidiary, Teda Hotels Management Company Limited, a British
Virgin Islands Corporation ("Teda BVI") and Acola. The Exchange Agreement set
forth certain terms and conditions of the exchange by which the entire issued
share capital of Teda BVI is transferred to that of Acola in exchange for
approximately 86% of the issued share capital of Acola. The closing of the
Transaction occurred on March 12, 2004. On the closing date, pursuant to the
Exchange Agreement, all of Acola's existing officers and directors, except Mr.
James N. Baxter, resigned and all the directors of Teda Florida were elected on
the Board of Acola. Mr. James N. Baxter resigned on March 30, 2004. In order to
better reflect the new operations of the Company, the Company amended its
certificate of incorporation to change its name to that of Teda Travel Group,
Inc. on April 20, 2004. Prior to the share exchange, the Company had no material
operations. The merger was accounted for as a recapitalization of Teda BVI, as
the shareholders of Teda BVI acquired capital stock of the Company in a reverse
acquisition. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Teda BVI were recorded
at historical cost, and the shares of common stock issued by the Company were
reflected in the consolidated financial statements with retroactive effect, as
if the Company had been the parent company from inception. The Company's former
year-end date was June 30 and currently assumes the year-end date of the
acquirer of December 31.
The Company primarily earns its revenues through the provision of management
services, including training and consulting services, to hotels and resorts in
the PRC through its operating subsidiaries, Teda BVI, and Teda Hotels Management
Limited, a Hong Kong corporation; and a 60%-held subsidiary, Landmark
10
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation - continued
International Hotel Group Limited, acquired through an acquisition that closed
on November 8, 2004.
The Company is also an investor in real estate development projects in the PRC.
In January 2002, the Company acquired a 35% interest in a real estate joint
venture by the name of Tianjin Yide Real Estate Company Limited. The Company's
co-venturer is a real estate developer by the name of Tianjin Teda International
Hotels Development Company Limited, a corporation owned by the Tianjin
provincial government and formed under the laws of the People's Republic of
China. Through the real estate joint venture, the Company owns a 35% interest in
a multi-use complex featuring apartment units for sale, as well as a hotel and
clubhouse. For more information about the Company's real estate joint venture,
please see Item 2, "Properties," in the Teda Travel Group, Inc.'s Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission on April 13, 2005.
Revenues are derived from the Company's provision of management services to
hotels and resorts which include management fees and incentive fees from the
properties that it manages, pursuant to the terms and conditions of its
management contracts. Each of the hotels and resorts is managed under a
management contract with terms varying from 2-10 years. As of March 31, 2005,
the Company manages 13 hotels and a club house located in various parts of the
PRC, encompassing more than 2,695 rooms.
Under its management contracts with each of the hotel and resort properties, the
Company is responsible for the supervision and day-to-day operations of the
property in exchange for a basic management fee based on gross revenues. In
addition, the Company may also earn an incentive fee based upon gross operating
profits of the property managed.
The Company's expansion plans for 2005 have not been successful due to the lack
of sufficient funds. For this reason, management has decided to conserve cash
and agreed with the owners of Teda Resort Alliance Development Co., Limited
("TRAC") to rescind the Company's acquisition of the TRAC on [date of recession
agreement].
Management of the Company plans to grow by acquiring peer hotel management
companies and may diversify the Company's business through entering new travel
business sectors such as online reservation services and travel agencies.
For more information relating to the Company's business, please see the section
entitled "Business" in the Teda Travel Group, Inc.'s Annual Report on Form
10-KSB as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on
April 13, 2005.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an
ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including but not limited to those
related to income taxes and impairment of long-lived assets. We base our
estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions and factors
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Based on our
ongoing review, we plan to make adjustments to our judgments and estimates where
facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from our estimates.
11
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation - continued
We believe the following critical accounting policies are important to the
portrayal of our financial condition and results and require our management's
most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need
to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
(i) Property and Equipment
--------------------------
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful life of the assets from three to thirty nine years. Repairs and
maintenance on property and equipment are expensed as incurred.
(ii) Revenue Recognition
------------------------
The Company recognizes hotel and resort management service fees in the period
when the services are rendered.
(iii) Foreign Currency Translation
----------------------------------
The Company's assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies
are translated into the currency of United States dollars using the exchange
rates at the balance sheet date. For revenues and expenses, the average exchange
rate during the year was used to translate Hong Kong dollars and Chinese
Renminbi into United States dollars. The translation gains and losses resulting
from changes in the exchange rate are charged or credited directly to the
stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet when material. All realized
and unrealized transaction gains and losses are included in the determination of
income in the period in which they occur. Translation and transaction gains and
losses are included in the statement of operations because they are not material
as of June 30, 2005.
(iv) Stock-Based Compensation
-----------------------------
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value
method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations and elects the disclosure
option of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123").
Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if
any, of the fair value of the Company's stock at the date of grant over the
amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company also records stock
compensation expense for any options issued to non-employees using the fair
value method prescribed in SFAS No. 123.
(v) Income Taxes
----------------
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income
Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109"). Under SFAS No. 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
12
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation - continued
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 SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
(vi) 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,
goodwill and intangible assets, the recoverability test is performed using
undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets.
Consolidated Results of Operations
For the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004
Revenues. Revenues for the period ended June 30, 2005 were $322,785 as compared
to revenues of $245,329 for the same period last year, an increase of $77,456,

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In August 2000, the Company received a letter from an attorney advising that
there is an Order for Entry of Default Judgment in the District Court of
Boulder, Colorado against a predecessor of the Company in favor of two alleged
former employees of Northern Lights Software, Ltd. (a subsidiary of the Company)
dated March 10, 1998 in the total amount of $74,887. The judgment was apparently
for alleged unpaid wages. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
dated February 15, 1999, a former director of the Company had personally
warranted that there were no undisclosed liabilities in the Company and had
indemnified the Company against such claims. He stated that he believed that
claimants were actually employees of Northern Lights Software (New York) Ltd., a
subsidiary of Northern Lights Software, Ltd. (Delaware), a predecessor of the
Company. The Company's predecessor accepted $10,300 from the former director in
exchange for releasing his indemnification of the Company. The Company believes
that the Colorado lawsuit was brought against the wrong corporation and that the
default judgment was erroneously issued in violation of Colorado statutes, as
interpreted by the Colorado Supreme Court. Based upon a review of the record in
the case, management believes that it would be an error for any court to enforce
the default judgment, and the Company plans to mount a vigorous defense against
any effort to enforce the judgment against the Company.
Other than that stated above, to the best knowledge of the Officers and
Directors of the Company, neither the Company nor any of its Officers or
Directors is a party to any material legal proceeding or litigation and such
persons know of no other material legal proceeding or litigation contemplated or
threatened. Other than that stated above, there are no judgments against the
Company or its Officers or Directors.
