WWA GROUP, INC.

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2008

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation

WWA Group, Inc., (the “Company”), through a subsidiary, operates in Jebel Ali, Dubai, United Arab Emirates under a trade license from the Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority. The Company’s operations primarily consist of the auctioning of used and new heavy construction equipment, transportation equipment and marine equipment, the majority of which is on a consignment basis.

WWA Group, Inc. includes the accounts of WWA Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries World Wide Auctioneers, Ltd. (“WWA”), a company incorporated in the territory of the British Virgin Islands on March 20, 2000, which operates in Dubai, U.A.E.
 
On August 8, 2003, the Company and WWA executed a stock exchange agreement, whereby the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of WWA, in exchange for 13,887,447 shares of the Company’s common stock. Because the owners of WWA became the principal shareholders of the Company through the merger, WWA is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes and this merger is accounted for as a reverse acquisition or recapitalization of WWA. Subsequent to the merger, the Company changed its name to “WWA Group, Inc.”

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with the instructions in Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles and should, therefore, be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. These statements do include all normal recurring adjustments which the Company believes necessary for a fair presentation of the statements. The interim operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2008.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Net Earnings Per Common Share - The computation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, plus the common stock equivalents that would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding, using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the period. There are no common stock equivalents at June 30, 2008.

Revenue Recognition - Revenues from commissions and services consist of revenues earned in the Company’s capacity as agent for consignors of equipment, incidental interest income, internet and proxy purchase fees, and handling fees on the sale of certain lots. All commission revenue is recognized when the auction sale is complete and the Company has determined that the auction proceeds are collectible.
 
Revenue from shipping operations is originated from chartering of vessel MV Iron Butterfly on a long term charter at a daily rate agreed upon.
 

Revenues from sales of equipment originate from the auctioned and private sale of equipment inventory owned by the Company. The Company recognizes the revenue from such sales when the sale has been invoiced, and collectability is reasonably assured. All costs of goods sold are accounted for under direct costs.

WWA GROUP, INC.

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2008

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)

Stock Based Compensation - The Company has traditionally accounted for stock-based compensation under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation cost was recognized in the 2007 financial statements, when options granted under those plans have an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The Company issued no compensatory options to its employees during the quarter ended June 30, 2008.
 
In December 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, although this statement had no effect on the Company’s 2005 financial statements.

Note 3 – Notes Receivable

Notes receivable amounted to $2,876,094.65 as on June 30, 2008 due to the Company from its trading partners. Amounts in this category are due from regular consignors, its Australian auction partner and a U.A.E. based earthmoving management company.
 

Note 4 – Income Taxes

WWA operates in the Jebel Ali Free Zone of Dubai, which is an income tax free zone. Therefore, the profits of WWA are not taxable in Dubai. During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company determined that undistributed earnings from Dubai will be reinvested in the business indefinitely and that such earnings will not be distributed to the Company. Therefore, in accordance with APB Opinion No. 23, Accounting for Income Taxes - Special Areas, no income tax provision has been recorded for the undistributed earnings.

Note 5 - Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 6 – Risks Related to Our Business and Stock

Due to the proximity of Iran, Sudan and Syria to our auction site, sales records and statistics on regional spending on used construction equipment, there is reason to believe that some percentage of the equipment sold at our auctions ultimately ends up in Iran, Sudan or Syria. The U.S. State Department or OFAC could impose fines upon us or cause us to restrict certain of our sales based on this possibility. Any such action could have a negative impact on our reputation which might decrease shareholder value.

Item 2.     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other parts of this quarterly report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “plans,” “predicts,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include but are not limited to those discussed in the subsection entitled Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition below. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes hereto included in this report. Our fiscal year end is December 31. All information presented herein is based on the six month period ended June 30, 2008.

Discussion and Analysis

WWA Group’s business strategy is to (i) increase cash flow from operations to generate net income to reduce payables, (ii) expand operations to new auction sites, and (iii) acquire or develop other related businesses in the region and internationally. We intend to focus on formalizing new joint venture relationships and management arrangements as well as opening new wholly-owned facilities and expanded auctions at our main facility as the means by which to increase net cash flow. Our new auction site located in the Jebel Ali Free Trade Zone, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is larger and capable of holding more equipment than our former site, eliminating the restraint on growth.
 
Implementation of our growth model will include expanding our lower cost auction methods, such as on-line auctions, video auctions, and transportation equipment only auctions, all of which can be held on a more frequent basis than the larger equipment auctions. While smaller in size, these auctions will not interfere with or detract from our
major equipment auctions, and the economies of scale at our main facility are efficient for this purpose.
 
In 2008, three major equipment auctions have been held, three more major equipment auctions are scheduled, and at least 2 on-line auctions are planned.
 

WWA Group is receiving an increased charter rate for our shipping vessel the M/V Iron Butterfly, but maintenance down time in 2008 has reduced our overall charter revenue in the recent period. Further, we expect that our unconsolidated interest in an earthmoving management business held by Marena Industries Ltd. will provide a return on investment over the next twelve months.


Our financial condition and results of operations depend primarily upon the volume of industrial equipment auctioned, the prices we obtain at auction for such equipment, and the commission rates we can attract from the consignor. Industrial equipment prices historically have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future, and the commission rates in our
primary market are subject to competition. This price volatility and commission rate pressure can immediately affect our available cash flow which can in turn impact the availability of net cash flow for future capital expenditures. Our future success will depend on our ability to increase the size of our auctions and to optimize commissions and prices realized at auction. Should we be unable to increase gross auction sales and obtain competitive pricing at auction then we can expect a reduction in revenue which may in turn affect the profitability of our business.

Results of Operations

During the period from January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008, WWA Group conducted 3 un-reserved auctions for industrial equipment from its auction site located in the Jebel Ali Free Trade Zone, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, chartered its ship, bought and sold equipment for its own account, and began construction of leasehold improvements on its new auction yard. WWA Group expects that over the next twelve months it will continue to expand its business through larger auctions at established sites, open new jointly managed auction locations in addition to progressing related business activities in shipping and project management.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2008, WWA Group realized an increase in net income over the six months ended June 30, 2007 due to increased auction and trading revenues. While during the three month period ended June 30, 2008 WWA Group realized a slight decrease in net income over three months ended June 30, 2007 due to a decrease in ship charter revenue and an increase in direct costs and finance costs. WWA Group expects to increase net income in future periods as it expands the number and the size of its auctions in addition to widening gross margins from equipment trading.

Quarters Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $10,525,715 as compared to revenue of $8,063,663 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 31%. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased to $15,797,563 from $13,686,334 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 15%. The increase in revenues over the comparative three and six months can be primarily attributed to an increase in the sale of owned equipment which rose from $9,024,044 for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 to $10,724,543 for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, an increase of 19% and to an increase in revenue from commission and services during the six months ended June 30, 2008 that increased 13% to $4,248,448 from $3,757,290 during the six months ended June 30, 2007. We expect that revenue will continue to increase in the near term as our auctions expand and our equipment trading grows.
 

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $2,728,182 as compared to gross profit of $2,568,240 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 6%. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $4,148,571 as compared to a gross profit of $3,888,562 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 67%. The increase in gross profit over the comparative three and six month periods can be primarily attributed to the increases in auction commission revenue and a wider trading margin. Gross margins from the sale of equipment have historically ranged from 2% to 7%, while gross margins from auction commission revenue have historically ranged from 40% to 60%. Our gross margins from auction commission revenue have exceeded this historical range over this most recent six month period.

Expenses

Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $1,445,708 as compared to expenses of $1,440,852 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $2,685,939 as compared to expenses of $2,927,625 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of 8%. Although the decrease in expenses over the comparable six month periods can be attributed to a decline in general, selling and administrative expenses WWA Group expects that trend to reverse course as it expands the number and size of future auctions.

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $186,103 and $159,483 respectively. Depreciation and amortization expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $367,734 and $329,597 respectively. Depreciation and amortization expenses are expected to continue to increase as WWA Group acquires or develops additional assets including the anticipated expansion of our physical facilities in late 2008.
 

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 decreased to $1,022,228 as compared to net income of $1,041,775 for the three months period ended June 2007, mainly due to an increase in interest expense offsetting the increase in gross margin. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased to $1,059,894 from $835,389 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 27% mainly attributable to the increase in gross profit margin and the decrease in general, administrative and selling expenses. WWA Group anticipates net income growth over the next six months, based on our current auction schedule.
 

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

The Jebel Ali Free Zone is an income tax free zone. Therefore, the profits of WWA Group are not taxable in Dubai. WWA Group has determined that undistributed earnings from Dubai will be reinvested in the business indefinitely and that such earnings will not be distributed to the U.S. parent. Therefore, in accordance with APB Opinion No. 23, Accounting for Income Taxes - Special Areas, no income tax provision has been recorded for the undistributed earnings. If, in the future, WWA Group distributes such earnings to the U.S. parent, the earnings will be taxable at the applicable U.S. tax rates.

Impact of Inflation

WWA Group has been subject to a substantial increase in yard and staff housing rent expenses in the last 2 years, which is a result of a tremendous demand for housing and land within the UAE’s Free Zone. Since we now have a new land lease contract in place we expect that our housing and land costs will stabilize. Further, we believe that we can offset inflationary increases in overall operating costs through increasing revenue and improving operating efficiencies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flow used by operating activities was $2,518,723 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to cash flow provided by operations of $2,785,152 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The transition from cash flow provided by operating activities to cash flow used in operating activities in the current six month period ended June 30, 2008 is primarily attributable to the significant increase in accounts (auction proceeds) receivable and inventory. Anticipated increases in revenues and decreases in accounts receivable are expected to provide cash flow from operations in future periods.

Cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $313,511 as compared to $847,627 used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2007. Cash flow used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily due to the acquisition of additional property and equipment of $373,663 offset by proceeds from the sale of fixed assets $40,500 and an increase in notes receivable. WWA Group expects to continue to use cash flow in investing activities in future periods as necessary to expand its business.
 
Cash flows used by financing activities were $123,317 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to cash flow provided by financing activities of $2,337,307 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Cash flows used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2008 consisted primarily of payments made against long term debt $350,813 offset by an increase in a bank credit line. Cash flows provided by financing activities are expected to be a factor in WWA Group’s expansion in future periods.

WWA Group adopted The 2006 Benefit Plan of WWA Group, Inc. in April of 2006, which approved the registration of 2,500,000 shares of the common stock to be available for issuance under the Plan. Under the Plan, WWA Group may issue stock, or grant options to acquire up to 2,500,000 shares of WWA Group's common stock to employees. The board of directors, at its own discretion may also issue stock or grant options to other individuals, including consultants or advisors, who render services to WWA Group or our subsidiaries, provided that the services rendered are not in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction. Further, no stock may be issued, or options granted under the benefit plan to consultants, advisors, or other persons who directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for WWA Group’s stock. Since adoption, WWA Group has granted 1,250,000 options to purchase shares of our common stock, of which 1,250,000 were exercised as of June 30, 2008.

WWA Group had a working capital surplus of $2,418,779 as of June 30, 2008 compared to a working capital surplus of $1,635,548 as of December 31, 2007. We believe that this surplus, in addition to anticipated increases in operational cash flow is sufficient to meet our obligations.
 
Nonetheless, on an historical basis, WWA Group has been obliged to fund its cash needs through increases in payables, equity sales, and debt transactions, shareholder loans and bank lines of credit. Should WWA Group’s working capital surplus prove insufficient to satisfy current obligations it can provide no assurance that additional financing will be available and it may be required to delay payment of accounts payable or auction proceeds payable, which delay could negatively impact its ability to attract and retain consignors for future auctions.

Since earnings will be reinvested in operations, WWA Group does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

WWA Group has certain lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements in place.
 
WWA Group has no current plans to make any significant changes in the number of employees.

WWA Group has acquired a new yard facility comprised of 90,000 square meters from which approximately 15,000 square meters has been allocated for permanent office premises. Construction of a 35,000 square foot office / arena / shop building is currently underway on the site.

WWA Group has adopted The 2006 Benefit Plan of WWA Group, Inc. but has no contractual commitment with any of its officers or directors.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2008, WWA Group has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

In Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 filed on Form 10-KSB with the Securities and Exchange Commission, WWA Group discusses those accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining the results of operations and its financial position. WWA Group believes that the accounting principles utilized by it conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an on-going basis, WWA Group evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, warranty obligations, product liability, revenue, and income taxes. WWA Group bases its estimates on historical experience and other facts and circumstances that are believed to be reasonable, and the results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

With respect to revenue recognition, WWA Group applies the following critical accounting policies in the preparation of its financial statements:

Revenue Recognition - Auction Revenues earned in WWA Group’s capacity as agent for consignors of equipment are comprised mainly of auction commissions in the form of flat selling fees or fixed or sliding percentages of the gross auction sale price of any consigned equipment. The majority of auction commissions are earned as a fixed rate of the gross selling price. Auction Revenues also include any preparation, shipping, clearing, transport and handling charges and fees applicable to certain items of consigned equipment; incidental interest income; buyers’ commission applicable on certain sales of items. All revenue is recognized when the auction sale is complete and we have determined that the auction proceeds are collectible.

Trading revenues are defined as gross proceeds on sales of WWA Group owned or underwritten inventory sold at auction or privately. All costs of goods sold are accounted for under direct costs. Trading revenue can be earned and direct costs can be incurred when WWA Group guarantees a certain net level of proceeds to a consignor. This type of revenue includes a percentage of proceeds in excess of the guaranteed amount. If actual auction proceeds are less than the guaranteed amount, WWA Group can incur a net loss on the sale. Therefore, sales of equipment on a guarantee contracts are to be treated the same as inventory for accounting purposes. Our exposure from these guarantee contracts can vary over each guarantee contract. Losses, if any, resulting from guarantee contracts are recorded in the period in which the relevant auction is held.

Ship chartering revenues are contractual in nature and similar to a lease. WWA Group charters its cargo vessel to a freight forwarding company on a flat daily fee until the end of 2009. The shipping company is responsible for all of the fuel costs and cargo related costs, and the risks of receipt and delivery of the cargo. WWA Group recognizes its ship charter revenues ratably over the term of the charter contract.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts. SFAS No. 163 clarifies how SFAS No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises, applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises, and addresses the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities. It requires expanded disclosures about contracts, and recognition of claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also requires disclosure about (a) the risk-management activities used by an insurance enterprise to evaluate credit deterioration in its insured financial obligations, and (b) the insurance enterprise's surveillance or watch list. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 163.
 

In May 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants.”
 
Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We will adopt FSP APB 14-1 beginning in the first quarter of 2009, and this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
 

On May 8, 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which will provide framework for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for nongovernmental entities. With the issuance of SFAS No. 162, the GAAP hierarchy for nongovernmental entities will move from auditing literature to accounting literature. We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 162 on its financial position and results of operations.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that FSP 142-3 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
 

In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS 161 which amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133 to provide an enhanced understanding of an entity’s use of derivative instruments, how they are accounted for under SFAS 133 and their effect on the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The provisions of SFAS 161 are effective for the period beginning after November 15, 2008. We are currently reviewing the effect, if any, that the adoption of this statement will have on our financial statements.

our ability to fund cash requirements for future operations;

·     

uncertainties related to the growth of our business and use of services;

·     

our ability to maintain an adequate customer base to realize sufficient revenue for operations; and

general economic conditions.

WWA Group wishes to caution readers that its operating results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated including the factors set forth in the section entitled Risk Factors included elsewhere in this report. WWA Group also wishes to advise readers not to place any undue reliance on the forward looking statements contained in this report, which reflect its beliefs and expectations only as of the date of this report.

Not required.

ITEM 4T.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


In connection with the preparation of this report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by our
management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based on that evaluation, our management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the period ended June 30, 2008, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 

WWA Group. vs. Frederic Polliart

On July 8, 2008 WWA Group, represented by Kronenberger Burgoyne, LLP commenced proceedings in the United States District Court Southern District of California with the filing of a complaint against

Frederic Polliart that seeks punitive and exemplary damages for cyber squatting, trademark infringement, civil extortion, defamation, intentional interference with contractual relations, intentional interference with prospective economic advantage and unfair competition in connection with Polliart’s use of an internet domain name “wwauctions.biz” to disseminate false information about WWA Group and its management. WWA Group believes that it will be successful in pursuing its claims against Polliart. WWA Group awaits a response to the complaint as of the date of this report.
 

OFAC Tolling Agreement

On March 20, 2008, WWA Group, represented by Robert N. Wilkinson, executed a Tolling Agreement at the request of The Office of Foreign Asset Control ("OFAC") of the U.S. Treasury Department intended to toll the time frame permitted under the relevant statute of limitations until April 9, 2009, in order for OFAC to continue its investigation into our business operations. WWA Group has had no subsequent communications with OFAC and is unaware of any allegations of wrongdoing asserted or contemplated by OFAC. 

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS

Sales of equipment from our auctions may have ultimately ended up in Iran, Sudan or Syria.

 

Due to the proximity of Iran, Sudan and Syria to our auction site, sales records, and statistics on regional spending for used construction equipment, there is reason to believe that some percentage of the equipment sold at our auctions prior to May 2007 may have ultimately ended up in Iran, Sudan or Syria. Although we have never sold equipment to Iran, Sudan or Syria, countries which the U.S. State Department and OFAC have identified as state sponsors of terrorism, and we have never made any effort to attract consignors or bidders from any country recognized as a state sponsor of terrorism, it is possible that some equipment purchased at our auctions was sold to persons or entities that re-exported such equipment to these countries, particularly to Iran. Our records indicate as follows:

     * Total sales were approximately $519,600,000 between 2001 and May of 2007

We do not believe that this percentage of sales had any impact on our operations, reputation or shareholder value. However, despite the fact that we have no knowledge of delivery of equipment purchased at our auctions into Iran, Sudan or Syria, the U.S. State Department or OFAC could impose fines upon us and have caused us to restrict sales to persons resident in Iran, Sudan or Syria based on the possibility of delivery to these countries. Any further action on the part of the U.S. State Department or OFAC could have a negative impact on our reputation which might decrease shareholder value.
 
A significant percentage of corporate control lies in the hands of one shareholder.


Asia8, Inc. owns and controls voting power over nearly 40% of our issued and outstanding stock. The concentration of such a large percentage of our stock in the hands of one shareholder may have a disproportionate effect on the voting power of minority shareholders’ upon any and all matters presented to WWA Group’s shareholders. Additionally, Eric Montandon, our chief executive officer, is also the chief executive officer of Asia8, Inc.
 

We may be unable to manage the growth of our business which failure could negatively affect development, operating results, and fiscal independence.

WWA Group believes that if our growth plan is successful, our business will grow in size and complexity.  Any new sustained growth would place a significant strain on our management systems and operational resources requiring us to recruit, hire, and retain new managerial, finance, and support personnel. Our ability to compete effectively would also require us to maintain and improve operational, financial, and management information systems on a timely basis. Should we be unable to manage growth effectively, both our business development and our operating results would be negatively affected which in turn would preclude us from becoming financially independent of outside funding sources. 

WWA Group competes with a much larger and better-financed corporation.

 

We compete with numerous auction companies throughout the world, but the Gulf Region is our primary market. The used equipment auction market in the Gulf Region has two only significant participants, us and Ritchie Brothers Auctioneers, Inc. (“RBA”). RBA, the world’s largest un-reserved equipment auctioneer, reports over $3.0 billion dollars in gross auction sales from 90 locations throughout in North America and in 18 other countries and holds a dominant position in certain geographic locations. While RBA is still much larger and much better-financed than us, we have gradually increased our market share in Dubai and have effectively outperformed RBA in terms of market share since 2004

WWA Group is dependent upon key personnel.

WWA Group’s performance and operating results are substantially dependent on the continued service and performance of our officers and directors. We intend to hire additional technical, sales, managerial and other personnel as we move forward with our business model. Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we can retain our key sales employees, or that we will be able to attract or retain highly qualified sales and managerial personnel in the future. The loss of the services of any of our key employees or the inability to attract and retain the necessary personnel could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.

WWA Group depends on the growth of our customer base and increased business from our current customers.

WWA Group’s success is substantially dependent on the continued growth of our customer base. If we fail to increase our customer base, our business and operating results will be seriously harmed. Our ability to attract new customers will depend on a variety of factors, including the reliability, security, scalability and cost-effectiveness of our services, as well as our ability to effectively market our services. If we fail to generate repeat and expanded business from our current customers, our business and operating results will be seriously harmed.

Risks Related to WWA Group’s Stock

The market for our stock is limited and our stock price may be volatile.


The market for our common stock has been limited due to low trading volume and the small number of brokerage firms acting as market makers. Because of the limitations of our market and volatility of the market price of our stock, investors may face difficulties in selling shares at attractive prices when they want to. The average daily trading volume for our stock has varied significantly from week to week and from month to month, and the trading volume often varies widely from day to day.
 

Our internal controls over financial reporting may not be considered effective in the future, which could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and in turn have an adverse effect on our stock price.


Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal controls over financial reporting. Such report must contain, among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of the year, including a statement as to whether or not our internal controls over financial reporting are effective. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting identified by management. If we are unable to continue to assert that our internal controls are effective, our investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.

WWA Group does not pay dividends.

WWA Group does not pay dividends. We have not paid any dividends since inception and have no intention of paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends would be at the discretion of our board of directors and would depend on, among other things, future earnings, our operating and financial condition, our capital requirements, and general business conditions. Therefore, shareholders should not expect any type of cash flow from their investment.

WWA Group may require additional capital funding.

There can be no guarantee that we will not require additional funds, either through additional equity offerings or debt placements, in order to expand our operations. Such additional capital may result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, our ability to meet short-term and long-term financial commitments will depend on future cash. There can be no assurance that future income will generate sufficient funds to enable us to meet our financial commitments.
 

WWA Group’s shareholders may face significant restrictions on their stock.

WWA Group’s stock differs from many stocks in that it is a “penny stock.” The Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks” including, but not limited to, those rules from the Securities Act as follows:
 

3a51-1     which defines penny stock as, generally speaking, those securities which are not listed on either NASDAQ or a national securities exchange and are priced under $5, excluding securities of issuers that have net tangible assets greater than $2 million if they have been in operation at least three years, greater than $5 million if in operation less than three years, or average revenue of at least $6 million for the last three years;

15g-1     which outlines transactions by broker/dealers which are exempt from 15g-2 through 15g-6 as those whose commissions from traders are lower than 5% total commissions;

15g-2      which details that brokers must disclose risks of penny stock on Schedule 15G;

15g-3      which details that broker/dealers must disclose quotes and other information relating to the penny stock market;

15g-4      which explains that compensation of broker/dealers must be disclosed;

15g-5      which explains that compensation of persons associated in connection with penny stock sales must be disclosed;

15g-6      which outlines that broker/dealers must send out monthly account statements; and

15g-9     which defines sales practice requirements.

Since WWA Group’s securities constitute a “penny stock” within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and our securities. Because these rules provide regulatory burdens upon broker-dealers, they may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their securities in any market that may develop; the rules themselves may limit the market for penny stocks. Additionally, the market among dealers may not be active. Investors in penny stock often are unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock. The mark-ups or commissions charged by the broker-dealers may be greater than any profit a seller may make. Because of large dealer spreads, investors may be unable to sell the stock immediately back to the dealer at the same price the dealer sold the stock to the investor. In some cases, the stock may fall quickly in value. Investors may be unable to reap any profit from any sale of the stock, if they can sell it at all.

Shareholders should be aware that, according to Commission Release No. 34-29093 dated April 17, 1991, the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. These patterns include:

·     

control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;


·     

manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

·     

“boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;

·     

excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

·     

the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
