ALCO, INC.   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)  Note 1  ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS  Description of Business and Basis of Presentation  ALCO, Inc. (ALCO, we, us, the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 7, 1999 as Seahorse, Inc. and changed its name to Lotus Capital Corp. (Lotus) on September 20, 2004.  The Company changed its name to ALCO, Inc. on February 13, 2006.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the SEC instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2010. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in ALCOs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its majority-owned subsidiaries which require consolidation.  Inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain accounting principles, which are stipulated by US GAAP, are not applicable in the HKAS.  The difference between HKAS accounts of the Company and its US GAAP financial statements is immaterial.  The Company maintains its books and accounting records in Hong Kong dollar ("HK$"), which is determined as the functional currency.  Assets and liabilities of the Company are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at each year end.  Contributed capital accounts are translated using the historical rate of exchange when capital is injected.  Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange during the year.  Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included in the cumulative translation adjustment account in shareholders' equity.  Gain and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in operations.   Note 2  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  For significant accounting policies, see notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Companys annual report of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the SEC.  Use of Estimates  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results, when ultimately realized could differ from those estimates.  Significant Estimates  Several areas require significant management estimates relating to uncertainties for which it is reasonably possible that there will be a material change in the near term.  The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the valuation of accounts receivable and payable, equipment, accrued liabilities, and the useful lives for amortization and depreciation.   8       Income Taxes  Income tax expense is based on reported income before income taxes.  Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between assets and liabilities that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes.  In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (ASC) No. 740, "Income Taxes, these deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws.  The Company's effective tax rate for the periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was 14.5% and 16.0%, respectively.  The Company did not provide any current or deferred income tax provision or benefit for any period presented to date because book income is substantially equal to taxable income, with only minor timing differences with regard to the depreciation of fixed assets.  Management has determined that any deferred tax asset or liability is inconsequential, and not material to the financial statements.   Fair Value of Measurements  The Company adopted Statement of ASC No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), effective January 1, 2008.  The provisions of ASC 820 are to be applied prospectively.  ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an estimate of the exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants (i.e., the exit price at the measurement date).  Under ASC 820, fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction cost.  ASC 820 provides for use of a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels:  Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities  Level 2: Input other than quoted market prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, and reasonably available.  Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.  Level 3: Unobservable inputs.  Unobservable inputs reflect the assumptions that the Company develops based on available information about what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability.  An asset or liabilitys level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Availability of observable inputs can vary and is affected by a variety of factors.  The Company uses judgment in determining fair value of assets and liabilities and Level 3 assets and liabilities involve greater judgment than Level 1 and Level 2 assets or liabilities.  Related Party Transactions  The captions "Due from directors" and "Due from related companies" represent loans receivable that are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment, and therefore are not considered current assets.  The related companies are owned by directors of the Company.  The captions "Due to director" and "Due to related company" represent loans payable that are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment, therefore, deemed payable on demand.  The related company is a development company owned by directors of the Company.  The Company rents office space in Hong Kong and quarter in Shanghai from a company owned by directors of the Company.  Earnings (Loss) Per Share  Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.  Since the Companys common stock currently does not trade, the dilutive effect of any warrants or convertible notes outstanding cannot be determined.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements   In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06). This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 and requires new disclosures for 1) significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 and the reasons for such transfers and 2) activity in Level 3 fair value measurements to show separate information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements. In addition, this update amends Subtopic 820-10 to clarify existing disclosures around the disaggregation level of fair value measurements and disclosures for the valuation techniques and inputs utilized (for Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements). The provisions in ASU 2010-06 are applicable to interim and annual reporting periods beginning subsequent to December 15, 2009, with the exception of Level 3 disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, which will be required in reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not impact the Companys operating results, financial position or cash flows, but did impact the Companys disclosures on fair value measurements. See note 6, Fair value of available for sale marketable securities investments and investment income  In February 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements (ASU 2010-09). This update amends Subtopic 855-10 and gives a definition to SEC filer, and requires SEC filers to assess for subsequent events through the issuance date of the financial statements. This amendment states that an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated for a reporting period. ASU 2010-09 becomes effective upon issuance of the final update. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-09 for the period ended March 31, 2010.  In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-12, Accounting for Certain Tax Effects of the 2010 Health Care Reform Acts (ASU 2010-12). This update clarifies questions surrounding the accounting implications of the different signing dates of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (signed March 30, 2010) and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (signed March 23, 2010). ASU 2010-12 states that the FASB and the Office of the Chief Accountant at the SEC would not be opposed to view the two Acts together for accounting purposes. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, the adoption of ASU 2010-12 will have on the Companys disclosures, operating results, financial position and cash flows.   Note 3  CASH

Cash balances are held principally at one financial institution and are not insured.  The Company believes it mitigates its risk by investing in or through major financial institutions.  Recoverability is dependent upon the performance of the institution.  Although the cash balances are not insured, however, starting in September 2006, cash balances (except accounts with overdraft facilities) are protected by the Deposit Protection Scheme which is maintaining by the Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board, an independent statutory body established under the Deposit Protection Scheme Ordinance (Cap. 581).  Under the scheme, compensation up to a limit of HK$100,000 (approximately US$12,821) will be paid from the scheme to depositor if the bank with which the depositor holds his/her eligible deposits fails.  In addition, on October 14, 2008, the Hong Kong Government announced that they would use the Exchange Fund to guarantee the repayment of all customer deposits held in authorized institutions in Hong Kong, following the principles of the Deposit Protection Scheme.  This action began on October 14, 2008 and will remain in force until the end of 2010.  Note 4  FIDUCIARY ASSET  Fiduciary asset is cash balances held by a bank, mainly consisting of premiums collected from customers and payable to   insurers, and claims received from insurers and payable to policyholders. When the Company receives a premium from a     customer, it debits the lump sum amount into one bank account and establishes a schedule to keep track of the amount of premium payable to the insurer. At the monthly closing, the Company reclassifies the amount of premium payable to insurers as fiduciary asset. Also, when the Company receives a claim on behalf of a policyholder, it debits fiduciary asset and credits claims payable and other payables, if necessary. The fiduciary asset at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were $3,087,265 and $504,791, respectively.   Note 5  COMMISSIONS RECEIVABLE

Note 6  FAIR VALUE OF AVAILABLE FOR SALE MARKETABLE SECURITIES INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT INCOME  ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs.  The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Companys financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. As required by ASC 820, a financial instruments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Companys assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Note 9  INCOME TAXES  The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was 14.5% and 16.0%, respectively.  The provisions for income taxes for the periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are summarized as follows:

There were no significant permanent or temporary differences.   Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes  Based on the Companys evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements.  The Company may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions.  In the event it receives an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it will be classified in the consolidated financial statements as tax expense.   Note 10  NONCONTROLLING INTEREST  On February 1, 2010, the company subsidiary Chang An Consultants Ltd., declared dividend for approximately $192,000. The company had made a payment of $76,923 to the noncontrolled shareholders.                                          9     ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  DISCLAIMER REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS  Certain statements in this report, including statements in the following discussion, which are not statements of historical fact, are what are known as forward-looking statements, which are basically statements about the future.  For that reason, these statements involve risk and uncertainty since no one can accurately predict the future.  Words such as plans, intends, will, hopes, seeks, anticipates, expects, and the like, often identify such forward-looking statements, but are not the only indication that a statement is a forward-looking statement.  Such forward-looking statements include statements concerning our plans and objectives with respect to the present and future operations of the Company, and statements which express or imply that such present and future operations will or may produce revenues, income or profits.  Numerous factors and future events could cause the Company to change such plans and objectives, or fail to successfully implement such plans or achieve such objectives, or cause such present and future operations to fail to produce revenues, income or profits.  Therefore, the reader is advised that the following discussion should be considered in light of the discussion of risks and other factors contained in this report on Form 10Q and in the Companys other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  No statements contained in the following discussion should be construed as a guarantee or assurance of future performance or future results.   PLAN OF OPERATIONS  Since the worldwide financial turmoil began in 2008, the volume of international trade dramatically declined, leading to declining volumes in the shipping industry.  Although economic recovery began in late 2009, excess tonnage supply in the shipping market during the period of financial turmoil, led to a large volume of layup and some poorly funded owners and operators are still facing financial problems.  In order to deal with this financial and shipping turmoil, our plan for 2010 is mainly the continuation of the plan for 2009.  The plan consists of improvement of our cost competitiveness, and enhancement of credit control and marketing function.  In order to seek to improve our cost competitiveness, we are continuously reviewing our current operating processes and procedures to identify areas for improvement and to implement changes where necessary to ensure our efficiency and effectiveness.  In addition, beginning in early 2009, we implemented several measures intended to tighten reduce our general and administrative expenses.  The effect of these changes was noted in 2009 as our general and administrative expenses decreased 3% in 2009 as compared to 2008.  We will continue to implement these measures in 2010.  For enhancement of our credit control, we are closely monitoring the aging of client premium receivables and aiming to increase the receivable turnover.  In 2009, we established a marketing function, the main responsibilities of which are maintaining our existing client base and promoting the companys business to potential new clients.  Further resources will be allocated to this new function in 2010.  We do have a plan to hire additional employees in the next twelve months to enhance our operations including marketing, consultancy service and supporting functions.  However, this plan will depend on the market situation and internal resources and there is no assurance that we will able to implement this plan within the foreseeable future.  We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009  Revenue  Revenues for the three months ending March 31, 2010 were $1,157,677, as compared to the revenues of $1,034,340 for the three months period ended March 31, 2009.  This increase of $123,337 or approximately 12% was mainly due to an increase of commission income partially offset by a decrease of consulting income, website advertising and enrollment fee.  Commission income, which is based on a percentage premium paid by the insured, for the three months period ended March 31, 2010 was $1,133,867 as compared to $1,000,797 for the same period of 2009.  The increase of commission income $133,070 or approximately 13% was mainly due to the increase of client base as well as insurance call and premium rates in the market.  Consulting income for the three months period ended March 31, 2010 was $16,500 compared to $24,944 for the comparable period of 2009.  The decrease of consulting income $8,444 or approximately 34% was mainly due to demand of the services decreased.  Website advertising and enrollment fee for the three months period ended March 31, 2010 were $1,917 and $384 as compared to $3,500 and $453 for the same period of 2009 respectively.  The decrease of website advertising was mainly due to a delay in customers billing while the decrease of enrollment fee was mainly due to the decrease of enrollment during the period.  Net income before tax and noncontrolling interest  Net income before tax and noncontrolling interest for the three months ending March 31, 2010 was $182,678 compared to $321,956 for the three months period ended March 31, 2009.  The decrease in pre-tax profit of $139,278, or approximately 43%, was mainly due to an increase in revenues partially offset by an increase in operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2009.  Causes for the revenue increase were discussed in the section of Revenue above while causes for the operating expense increase will be discussed in the section of Operating expenses below.  Operating expenses  Operating expenses for the three months ending March 31, 2010 were $979,282, as compared to $716,709 for the three months period ended March 31, 2009.  The increase of $262,573 or approximately 37% was mainly due to increases in salary, travel expenses, bad debt and exchange loss, which were partially offset by a reduction in rents.  The reasons for the increases and decreases in the major items are as follows:  n Salaries  increased $64,208 or 15% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to last year.  The increase in salary expenses was mainly due to increases in pay rates and headcounts. n Travel Expenses  increased $47,511 or 93% for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  The increase was due to revenue growth and general price inflation. n Bad debt expenses  increased by $137,717 in 2010 from $0 in 2009.  The increase was mainly due to an increase in the provision of doubtful debts in 2010. n Exchange loss  increased by $14,122 or 262% from $5,394 in 2009 to $19,516 in 2010.  The increase was mainly because the exchange rate of US dollar against HK dollar in the market throughout 2010 was under HK$7.8 which is used by the company as standard rate in accounting purpose. n Rent  decreased $3,270 or 3% for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in rental rate of the Hong Kong Office and the staff quarter.  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES  Cash flow  For the three months ended March 31, 2010, cash provided by operating activities totaled $164,499.  This was primarily due to net income during the period plus an increase in commission receivable, fiduciary asset, deposit and prepayment, other receivable, accounts payable, and income tax prepaid/ payable which was partially offset by a decrease in enrolment fee receivable, claims payables, other payables, accrued expenses and deferred income.  Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased by $21,041, or approximately 15%, as compared to the same period of 2009.  The increase of net cash flow was mainly due to the increase of net income after adjustments of non-cash activities such as depreciation, bad debt, fixed asset written off and noncontrolling interest in the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009.  For the three months ended March 31, 2010, cash used in investing activities amounted to $14,843.  The use of funds for the three months period was for the purchase of fixed assets.  For the same period of 2009, cash used in investing activities amounted to $59,806.  The use of funds was mainly for the purchases of equity investment for long term investment purpose.  For the three months ended March 31, 2010, cash used in finance activities totaled $72,446.  The funds were used for the repayment of obligations under finance leases, dividend payment to minority shareholders and payments on related party debt which was partially offset by an increase of borrowings on related party.  For the same period of 2009, net cash used by financing activities amounted to $41,992.  The funds were used for the repayment of obligation under finance leases, dividend payment to minority shareholders, and payments on related party debt.  Assets and liabilities  For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Groups balance sheet reflects total assets of $11,423,846 and total liabilities of $3,467,833.  These items increased $2,588,362 or approximately 29% and $2,552,079 or approximately 279% respectively when compared to the year ended December 31, 2009.  The increase of total assets was mainly due to an increase of cash and cash equivalents, deposit and prepayments, fiduciary asset and other receivables which was partially offset by a decrease of commission receivable, income tax prepaid and equity investment.  In addition, the increase of total liabilities was due to a increase of trade accounts payable and amount due to directors which was partially offset by a decrease of claim payable, other payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue and the obligation from hire purchase lease.  As of March 31, 2010, commission receivable was $597,814 as compared to $658,795 for the same period in 2009, while trade accounts payable and other payable were $3,264,292 and $120,431 respectively, as compared to December 31, 2009 balances of $625,385 and $144,092.  Each of these changes was due to the timing of commissions received from customers and the timing of making payments to insurers and customers in relation to the period end.  In addition, because the rate of insurance premium paid by customers to insurers was raised, cash and cash equivalents, fiduciary asset and other receivable increased during the period ended March 31, 2010.  Furthermore, because certain claims received from insurers on behalf of customers were repaid, the claim payable decreased as compared to the year end of 2009.  Accrued expenses of $8,753 as of March 31, 2010 significant reduced by $68,728 or approximately 89% from $77,481 as of December 31, 2009.  The reduction was mainly due to repayment of the accrued expenses which were provided for the year of 2009.  In addition, income tax payable as of March 31, 2010 was $14,229 was in relation to the provision of income tax for the first three months period of 2010.  Because the interest rate is maintained at a very low level in the recent years, the company purchased publicly traded equity securities with high dividend yield since 2008 for long term investment purpose.  The market value of the equity securities was $328,944 and $369,360 as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 respectively.  The decrease of $40,416 or approximately 11% was mainly due to the change of fair values between March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.  The Company has bank and cash equivalents of approximately $6,665,086 as at March 31, 2010.  The Company has sufficient funds to satisfy its financial commitments and working capital requirements for the next twelve months.  During the period end of March 31, 2010, the Company had $0 of commitments for capital expenditures and off-balance sheet arrangements as well as operating lease commitments of $551,156.  OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS  We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS  For information about new accounting pronouncements and the potential impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q and Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2009 Form 10-K.     10     ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK  Not applicable.    ITEM 4(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures  The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term disclosure controls and procedures to mean a company's controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuers management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC's rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to principal executive and principal financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
