NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
SEPTEMBER 30, 2004
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. 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 normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Accordingly, the results from operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2004. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated December 31, 2003 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's SEC Form 10-KSB.

Business and Basis of Presentation

Largo Vista Group, Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is principally engaged in the distribution of liquid petroleum gas (LPG) in the retail and wholesale markets in South China and in the purchase of petroleum products for delivery to the Far East.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Largo Vista, Inc., Largo Vista Construction, Inc., and Largo Vista International Corp. Largo Vista, Inc. is formed under the laws of the State of California and is inactive. Largo Vista Construction, Inc. is formed under the laws of the State of Nevada and is inactive. Largo Vista International Corp. is formed under the laws of Panama and is inactive. The Company also has operations through DBA (Doing Business As) agreements with Zunyi Shilin Xinmao Petrochemical Industries Co., Ltd. ("Zunyi") and Jiahong Gas Co., Ltd. ("Jiahong"). Zunyi and Jiahong are both registered under the Chinese laws in the Peoples Republic of China.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All amounts in these consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are stated in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Stock Based Compensation

In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 (“SFAS No. 148”), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of SFAS 123." This statement amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation expense for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the exercise price of the related option. The Company has adopted the annual disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 in its financial reports for the year ended December 31, 2003 and has adopted the interim disclosure provisions for its financial reports for the subsequent periods. The Company has no awards of stock-based employee compensation outstanding at September 30, 2004.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, included elsewhere within this Report.


DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY


The Company is principally engaged in the resale and distribution of liquid petroleum gas (LPG) in the retail and wholesale markets in South China and in the purchase of petroleum products for delivery to the Far East.


Through DBA agreements with Zunyi and Jiahong, the Company is engaged in the business of purchasing and reselling liquid petroleum gas ("LPG") in the retail and wholesale markets to both residential and commercial consumers.


In February 2002 and May 2003, the Company entered into agreements ("Agreements") with Zunyi Municipal Government ("Government") to design and install LPG pipeline systems (pipeline projects one and two) in residential areas in the city of Zunyi, China on behalf of Government. In exchange for installing the pipeline, the Agreements provide for the Company to be the sole LPG supplier for those households. Verbal approval has been received for pipeline projects three and four, which are waiting for contracts to be signed with the government. On October 4, 2004 and October 12, 2004, the Company signed contracts for pipeline projects five and six with developers in the same area, the first private party developments for the Company of LPG pipeline projects.


FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS


This Form 10-QSB contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements included Herein that address activities, events or developments that the Corporation expects, believes, estimates, plans, intends, projects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, are forward-looking statements. Actual events may differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Important risks that may cause such a difference include: general domestic and international economic business conditions, increased competition in the Company's markets and products. Other factors may include, availability and terms of capital, and/or increases in operating and supply costs. Market acceptance of existing and new products, rapid technological changes, availability of qualified personnel also could be factors. Changes in the Company's business strategies and development plans and changes in government regulation could adversely affect the Company. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this filing will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company that the objectives and expectations of the Company would be achieved.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


REVENUE

During the quarter ended September 30, 2004 the Company realized $69,180 of revenue compared to $287,843 for the same period in the prior year, a 75.9% decrease. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, revenues from operations were $295,226, as compared to $571,964 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of 48.4%. These decreases were largely because the Company had discontinued storage depot operations in the City of Zunyi, China late in fiscal year 2003, and the Company had revenues from pipeline project installation fees during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, whereas during the same periods ended September 30, 2004, only monthly usage fees were collected in connection with the pipeline project.


COSTS AND EXPENSES

During the quarter ended September 30, 2004 the Company incurred $95,009 of operating expenses compared to $113,058 for the same period in the prior year, a 16.0% decrease. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, operating expenses decreased to $261,645 from $431,374 during the same period in the prior year, a decrease of 39.3%. The decreased costs and expenses are associated with the discontinuation of storage depot operations in the City of Zunyi, China, as well as lower or little costs and operating expenses in connection with the pipeline project.

LOSS FROM OPERATIONS

The loss from operations increased 6.5% to a loss of $88,742 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 from a loss of $83,290 for the same period in the prior year; and decreased 45% to a loss of $188,345 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from a loss of $418,086 for the same period in the prior year.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2004, the Company had a deficiency in working capital of $907,707. During the first nine months of 2004, the operating activities of the Company provided a cash flow of $9,368. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we received $41,159 in the form of capital contributions and $41,521 of advances from our Company’s principal shareholders.

While we have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past, additional financing remains to be required in order to meet our current and projected cash flow deficits from operations and development. While we continue to seek financing in the form of equity in order to provide the necessary working capital; we currently have no commitments for such financing. Therefore, there is no guarantee that we will be successful in raising the funds required.

By adjusting its operations and development to the level of capitalization, management believes it has sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow deficits through the next twelve months. However, if thereafter, we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations , liquidity and financial condition.

The effect of inflation on the Company's revenue and operating results was not significant. The Company's operations are located in mainland China and there are no seasonal aspects that would have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

The Company's independent certified public accountant has stated in his report included in the Company's December 31, 2003 Form 10-KSB, that the Company has incurred operating losses in the last two years, and that the Company is dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable operations. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.


CAUTIONARY FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS


Our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003 includes a detailed list of cautionary factors that may affect future results. Management believes that there have been no material changes to the factors so listed, however other factors besides those listed could adversely affect us. That annual report can be accessed on EDGAR.


ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


The Company's management including the Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated, within 90 days prior to the filing of this quarterly report, the effectiveness of the design, maintenance and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Management determined that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is accurate and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and regulations.


Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving an entity's disclosure objectives. The likelihood of achieving such objectives is affected by limitations inherent in disclosure controls and procedures. These include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be fully faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures such as errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process.


There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation thereof, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
