AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (UNAUDITED)   Note 1- ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS  Description of Business  ALCO, Inc., (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. on September 20, 2004.  The Company changed its name to ALCO, Inc. on January 7, 2006.  The Company is principally engaged in the marine insurance brokerage business in the Asia Pacific region, through its wholly owned subsidiary, AL Marine Holdings (BVI), Ltd., a British Virgin Islands corporation ("AL Marine").  Under the terms of the Agreement for the Share Exchange, Lotus has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding stock of AL Marine and $50,000 in a share exchange transaction, in return for the issuance of 9,766,480 shares of stock of Lotus. Upon closing under the Agreement for Share Exchange, AL Marine would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lotus.  AL Marine is the 100% owner of Andrew Liu and Co., Ltd., a corporation principally engaged in the business of marine insurance brokerage in Asia.  AL Marine owns 60% of Chang An Consultants Ltd., a joint venture with China Changjiang National Shipping Corporation (CSC Group) that serves as a vehicle for the provision of marine insurance brokerage and other marine business services by AL Marine.  AL Marine owns 85% of EduShipAsia Ltd.  In 2005 and 2004, EduShipAsia Ltd. was appointed as an exclusive agent by the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers (UK) ("ICS") to set up ICS's first distant learning center in Shanghai, PRC.  ALCO, Inc. and AL Marine are hereafter collectively referred to as the Company.  Control by Principal Stockholders  The directors, executive officers, their affiliates and related parties own, beneficially and in the aggregate, the majority of the voting power of the outstanding share capital of the Company. Accordingly, directors, executive officers and their affiliates, if they voted their shares uniformly, would have the ability to control the approval of most corporate actions, including approving significant expenses, increasing the authorized capital stock and the dissolution, merger or sale of the Company's assets.     - 11 -      ALCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (UNAUDITED)   Note 2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  Economic and Political Risks  The Company faces a number of risks and challenges since its assets are located in Hong Kong,  a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), and its revenues are derived from its operations therein.  The PRC is a developing country with an early stage market economic system, overshadowed by the state.  Its political and economic systems are very different from the more developed countries and are in a state of change.  The PRC also faces many social, economic and political challenges that may produce major shocks and instabilities and even crises, in both its domestic arena and in its relationships with other countries, including the United States.  Such shocks, instabilities and crises may in turn significantly and negatively affect the Company's performance.  Basis of Presentation  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.  The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP").  This basis of accounting differs from that used in the statutory accounts of the Company, which are prepared in accordance with the "Hong Kong Accounting Standard" ("HKAS").  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 include in the cumulative translation adjustment account in shareholders' equity. Gain and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in operations.    - 12 -      ALCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (UNAUDITED)   Note 2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  Concentration of Credit Risk  Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable and cash.  Exposure to losses on receivables is dependent on each customer's financial condition.  The Company controls its exposure to credit risk through a process of credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures, establishing allowances for anticipated losses.  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.  Revenue Recognition  Commission revenue is recognized as of the effective date of the insurance policy or the date the customer is billed, whichever is later. At that date, the earnings process has been completed and the Company can reliably estimate the impact of policy cancellations based upon historical cancellation experience adjusted by known circumstances. The policy cancellation reserve is periodically evaluated and adjusted as necessary. Subsequent commission adjustments are recognized upon notification from the insurance companies. Commission revenues are reported net of commissions paid to sub-brokers. Consulting income is recognized as services are rendered.  Cash and Cash Equivalents  The Company invests idle cash primarily in money market accounts, certificates of deposit and short-term commercial paper. Money market funds and all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.  - 13 -       ALCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (UNAUDITED)   Note 2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)  Commissions Receivable  Commissions receivable are reported as net of commissions receivable from customers and premiums payable to respective insurers and commissions payable to sub-brokers, then less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount becomes questionable.  Property, Plant and Equipment  Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost.  The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized.  When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in the income statement in the year of disposition.  Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets.  The annual percentages applied are:  Motor vehicles20%Furniture and fixtures15%Office equipment15%Leasehold improvements20%  Accounts Payable and Claims Payable  In its capacity as an insurance agent or broker, the Company collects premiums from insureds and, after deducting its commissions, remits the premiums to the respective insurers; the Company also collects claims or refunds from insurers on behalf of insureds. Unremitted insurance premiums and claims are held in a fiduciary capacity. The obligation to remit premiums is recorded as accounts payable and the obligation to remit claims and refunds is recorded as claims payable on the balance sheet.  - 14 -      ALCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (UNAUDITED)   Note 2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)  Pension Costs  Mandatory contributions are made to the Hong Kong's Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF), based on a percentage of the employees' basic salaries.  The cost of these payments are charged to the profit and loss accounts as they become payable in accordance with the rule of the MPF Scheme.  The employer contributions vest fully with the employees when contributed into the MPF Scheme.  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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," these deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws.  The effective tax rate was 17.5% in 2006 and 2005.  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 Financial Instruments  The carrying value of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates their fair value at June 30, 2006, due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.  Interim Financial Information  The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as at June 30, 2006, and 2005, have been included.  Readers of these financial statements should note that the interim results for the six  month period ended June 30, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.  - 15 -       ALCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (UNAUDITED)   Note 2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)  Valuation of Long-Lived Assets  The Company periodically analyzes its long-lived assets for potential impairment, assessing the appropriateness of lives and recoverability of unamortized balances through measurement of undiscounted operating cash flows on a basis consistent with US GAAP.  Related Party Transactions  The captions "Due from directors" and "Due from shareholders" represent loans receivable that are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment, and therefore are not considered current assets.  The captions "Due to directors" and  "Due to shareholders" represent loans payable that are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment, therefore, deemed payable on demand.  The Company rents office space in Hong Kong and Shanghai from a company owned by directors of the Company.  Foreign Currency and Other Comprehensive Income  The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States (US) dollars. The functional currency is the Hong Kong dollar (HK$). The financial statements are translated into US dollars from HK$ at period end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, and weighted average exchange rates for revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.  The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), Hong Kong's central bank, maintain a Linked Exchange Rate System since 1983. The HKMA operates Convertibility Undertakings on both the strong side and the weak side of the Linked Rate of US$1:HK$7.8.  In fact, the exchange rate for HK$ to US dollars has varied by only 100ths during the period of 2006 and 2005. Thus, the consistent exchange rate used has been 7.80 HK$ per each US dollar. Since there have been no greater fluctuations in the exchange rate, there is no gain or loss from foreign currency translation and no resulting other comprehensive income or loss.  Foreign currency transactions are those that required settlement in a currency other than HK$. Gain or loss from foreign currency transactions, or exchange loss, are recognized in income in the period they occur.  - 16 -       ALCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (UNAUDITED)   Note 2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)  Reverse Stock Split  On August 11, 2005, our Board of Directors approved a 10-for-1 reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of capital stock.  The reverse stock split became effective on September 26, 2005.  All share and per share information included in these consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split.  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.  As of 30 June, 2006, there are no potentially dilutive securities issued and outstanding.

Note 4- RESTRICTED CASH  Restricted cash are cash balances held by a bank, mainly consisting of premium collected from customers and payable to issuers, and claims received from issuers and payable to policyholders.  The restricted cash balance was $1,697,197 as of June 30, 2006.  - 17 -       ALCO, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (UNAUDITED)   Note 11- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES  The Company's business operations exist solely in the PRC and are subject to significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe.  These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency limitations.  The Company's results may thus be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies, laws, regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance limitation, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.             - 20 -      ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION  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 10-QSB 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.  SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  Revenue:   Revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 was $1,664,174 compared to $1,334,001 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.  The increase of approximately 25% was due to growth of our premium income in the insurance business, website advertising income and consulting income.  Net income before tax and minority interest:  Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 was $858,546.  Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 was $567,189.  The increase in net income from operations was primarily due to increased business.  Interest income increased to $32,624 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $5,449 for the six month period ended June 30, 2005.  Operating expenses:  The operating expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 were $846,935, compared to operating expenses of $779,338 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.   The increase was primarily due to increases in salaries ($400,058 for the period ended June 2006 compared to $192,594 for the period ended June 2005) and rent ($133,619 for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 compared with $178,769 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006), with a decrease in bad debt expenses ($0 for the six month period ended June 2006 compared with $34,901 for the six month period ended June 30, 2005).  Travel expenses increased from $96,686 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $109,062 for the six months ended June 30, 2006    - 21 -       LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES  As of June 30, 2006, commissions receivable were $308,876, trade accounts payable and claims payable were $496,620 and $1,264,528, respectively.  For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, cash provided by operating activities totaled $712,422. The receipt of funds was primarily due to net income for the year plus increases in claims payable, deferred income and income tax payable and a decrease in deposit and prepayment partially offset by increases in commission receivable and restricted cash and decreases in accounts payable, other payable and accrued expenses.  For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, cash used in investing activities amounted to $56,854. The use of funds was for the purchase of office equipment.  For the six month period ended June 30, 2006, cash used in financing activities amounted to $33,291 which was due to an increase in repayment of bank overdraft, repayment of amount due to shareholder, repayment of amount due to director and an increase in a loan from obligations under finance leases   For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, ALCOs balance sheet (unaudited) reflects current and total assets of $4,396,498 and total liabilities of $2,191,801.  ALCO has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,243,423 as of June 30, 2006.   ALCO has sufficient funds to satisfy its financial commitments and working capital requirements. During the period, the ALCO had no material commitments for capital expenditures and off-balance sheet arrangements.   ITEM 3.
