In particular, the words such as “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “can,” “plan,” “predict,” “could,” “future,” variations of such words, and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements and their absence does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
ASAP Expo, Inc. (“ASAP Expo” or the “Company” or “We” or “Our”) d.b.a. ASAP International Holdings, was incorporated on April 10, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada.
ASAP Expo is a company that operates real estate, provides investment banking and consulting services for Chinese companies. The mission is to be the bridge between the China and the Western world. The Company’s Global Business Services division has added EB-5 Investment Visa consulting to overseas individuals seeking opportunities in the U.S. The Company’s Investment Banking Services division lists Chinese companies on the public trading markets in the USA or Europe. The Company’s Real Estate division assists with institutional and high net worth individuals with acquisition advisory and asset management.
UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (the “GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. Therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with the GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2010, included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
At September 30, 2011, the Company has a capital deficiency of $1,126,292 resulted from the accumulated deficit of its parent company that was transferred to the Company upon spin-off, negative working capital of $669,470 and a lack of profitable operating history. The Company hopes to increase revenues from its financial advisory services business. In the absence of significant increases in revenues, the Company intends to fund operations through additional debt and equity financing arrangements. The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there are no assurances that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its intended business plan or generate positive operating results.
The Company's success is dependent upon numerous items, certain of which are the successful growth of revenues from its services and its ability to obtain new customers in order to achieve levels of revenues adequate to support the Company's current and future cost structure, for which there is no assurance. Unanticipated problems, expenses, and delays are frequently encountered in establishing and maintaining profitable operations. These include, but are not limited to, competition, the need to develop customer support capabilities and market expertise, technical difficulties, market acceptance and sales and marketing. The failure of the Company to meet any of these conditions could have a materially adverse effect on the Company and may force the Company to reduce or curtail operations. No assurance can be given that the Company can achieve or maintain profitable operations.
The Company believes it will have adequate cash to sustain operations until it achieves sustained profitability. However, until the Company has a history of maintaining revenue levels sufficient to support its operations and repay its working capital deficit, the Company may require additional financing. Sources of financing could include capital infusions, additional equity financing or debt offerings. There can be no assurance that funding will be available on acceptable terms, if at all, or that such funds, if raised, would enable the Company to achieve or sustain profitable operations.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the GAAP 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Accounting Standards Codification (‘ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition which outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provide guidance for presentation of revenue and for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies in financial statements filed with Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes the Company's revenue recognition policies conform to ASC 605.
Revenues include consulting fees and management fee.
Consulting Fees
The Consulting fees are recognized when earned. Consulting fees subject to refund are recorded as deferred revenue until the project is completed and the fees are no longer refundable.
Management Fee
The management fee is recognized when earned.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This ASU is the result of joint efforts by the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) to develop a single, converged fair value framework — that is, converged guidance on how (not when) to measure fair value and on what disclosures to provide about fair value measurements. Thus, there are few differences between this ASU and its international counterpart, IFRS 13. While this ASU is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles in U.S. GAAP, it expands Topic 820’s existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and makes other amendments. Many of these amendments were made to eliminate unnecessary wording differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. However, some could change how the fair value measurement guidance in Topic 820 is applied. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 for public entities. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. This ASU removes the presentation options in Topic 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU does not require incremental disclosures in addition to those required by Topic 250 or any transition guidance. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements except for a revision of presentation of comprehensive income.

NOTE 3 – LONG-TERM INVESTMENT
In September 2009, the Company made a long-term investment in ASAP Hotel, Inc. (“ASAP Hotel”) to purchase 19.84% of equity interest for $200,000. At July 1, 2011, the Company sold the 19.84% equity interest in ASAP Hotel back to ASAP Hotel for its carrying balance of $193,559.69. The equity method has been used for this investment up to July 1, 2011.
ASAP Hotel had no activities from January 1, 2011 to July 1, 2011.
The following table provides the summary of balance sheet information for ASAP Hotel as of July 1, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively:

Difference
|
871,430 | 871,430 |
The difference of $871,430 was mainly due to the discount when ASAP Expo purchased the 19.84% of ownership in ASAP Hotel. ASAP Hotel’s net asset was $5,400,000 and ASAP Expo invested $200,000 (instead of $1,071,430) to purchase the 19.84% of ownership in ASAP Hotel.
NOTE 4 – DEFERRED REVENUE
Consulting fees received for providing advisory services are subject to refund until the client becomes publicly traded in the United States or Europe, thus are recorded as deferred revenue until the fees are no longer refundable.
In July 2011, ASAP Hotel decided to determinate the plan of going public. Of the $500,000 deferred revenue related to the advisory services fee, $300,000 was refunded back to ASAP Hotel, $193,560 was used as capital returned by ASAP Hotel to redeem ASAP Expo’s 19.84% investment in ASAP Hotel, and the remaining $6,440 was recorded as consulting fee for the miscellaneous consulting work ASAP Expo did for ASAP Hotel.
NOTE 5 - CAPITAL LEASE

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
Revenue
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company earned $401,329 consulting fee income for providing advisory services in real estate acquisition deals. There was no consulting fee income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company provided office space and staff to help ASAP Hotel start up its business operations, accordingly, charged a management fee of $21,000 and $63,000, respectively. There was no management fee income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Operating Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of administrative personnel costs, facilities expenses, and professional fee expenses.
General and administrative expenses increased by $2,955, or 14.8%, to $22,862 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $19,907 for the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to higher travel expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, general and administrative expenses decreased by $22,760 or 23.3% to $74,916 compared to $97,676 for the same period last year. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the Company no long pays rent starting June 15, 2010, the lower professional fee and office expenses.
Payroll and related benefits decreased by approximately $92,147 or 96.1% to $3,736 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $95,883 for the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, payroll and related benefits decreased by $271,734 or 95.8% to $12,013 compared to $283,747 for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily because the Company stopped payroll in 2011 as a way to cut cost while in the second quarter and the first nine months of 2010, the Company was still paying employees in the United States and overseas.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased to $27,226 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $37,464 for the same period last year, and decreased to $74,360 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $94,748 for the same period last year. This decrease is due to lower interest rate of 6% versus 10% in the same period last year.
Income Taxes
Income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $0 compared to $800 for the same period last year. The decrease was due to the Company has terminated its registration in California state since January 1, 2011, thus is no longer subject to the $800 minimum California state tax.
Net Income/Loss
The Company recorded a net income of $345,211 and $237,746 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to a net loss of $132,254 and $413,971 for the same periods last year, respectively. The improvement in net income was mainly due to the consulting fees generated from the consulting services for real estate acquisition deals.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's working capital deficit was $25,204 at September 30, 2011, as compared to $620,364 at December 31, 2010. During the next twelve months, ASAP Expo will focus on its real estate transactions and global trading services to generate additional revenue. With the net revenue from its services, and continuing support from its major shareholders to provide a convertible note, management believes ASAP Expo will have enough net working capital to sustain its business for another 12 months.
The Company has a convertible note (the "Yuan Note") from Frank Yuan and his family, which is due on demand, and provides for borrowings up to a maximum total of $1,800,000. The Yuan Note carries an interest rate of 6.0% per annum and is convertible into the Company's equity securities at a conversion price of $0.04 given a written notice of the contemplated conversion describing in reasonable detail the material terms of such equity securities and of the issue is provided. The total balance as of September 30, 2011 was $1,718,988, and the accrued and unpaid interest was $73,674.
The forecast of the period of time through which ASAP Expo’s financial resources will be adequate to support its operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties. ASAP Expo’s actual funding requirements may differ materially as a result of a number of factors, including unknown expenses associated with the cost of providing investment banking, management consulting and global trading services.
ASAP Expo has no commitments to make capital expenditures for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.
Over the next two to five years, ASAP Expo plans to utilize a combination of internally generated funds from operations and potential debt and equity financing to fund its long-term growth.
The Report of the Company's Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on our December 31, 2010 financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph stating that the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
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.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the our financial statements and the accompanying notes. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported on our balance sheet and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each of our fiscal periods are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for revenue recognition, stock based compensation and the valuation of deferred taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements:
Revenue Recognition
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, "Revenue Recognition" outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provide guidance for presentation of revenue and for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies in financial statements filed with Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes the Company's revenue recognition policies conform to ASC 605.
Revenues include amounts earned under consulting fee and management fees.
Consulting Fees
The Company acted as a consultant for buyers to purchase real estate in the U.S. For this service, the Company charged the buyers a consultant fee. The fee is based on final purchase price value. The Company recognizes its Consultant fees when they are earned.
In addition, the Company provides advisory services for companies wanting to become publicly traded and raise capital in the United States or Europe. Consulting fees received for providing advisory services are subject to refund until the client becomes publicly traded in the United States or Europe, thus are recorded as deferred revenue until the fees are no longer refundable.
Management Fee
The management fee is recognized when earned.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, "Income Taxes." Under ASC 740, 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. Management provides a valuation allowance for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such asset will not be recovered.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This ASU is the result of joint efforts by the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) to develop a single, converged fair value framework — that is, converged guidance on how (not when) to measure fair value and on what disclosures to provide about fair value measurements. Thus, there are few differences between this ASU and its international counterpart, IFRS 13. While this ASU is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles in U.S. GAAP, it expands Topic 820’s existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and makes other amendments. Many of these amendments were made to eliminate unnecessary wording differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. However, some could change how the fair value measurement guidance in Topic 820 is applied. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 for public entities. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. This ASU removes the presentation options in Topic 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU does not require incremental disclosures in addition to those required by Topic 250 or any transition guidance. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements except for a revision of presentation of comprehensive income.
Not required.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures include components of our internal control over financial reporting and, as such, are designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is expressed at the level of reasonable assurance that the control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met (see the section below in this Item 3 entitled Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls ).
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that occurred during the period covered by this Report, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
