MORGAN COOPER, INC.
(f/k/a Goung Hei Investment Co., Ltd.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2000
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION:
Goung Hei Investment Co., Ltd. ("GHIC") was incorporated on
October 12, 1988, under the laws of the State of Delaware. The
purpose of Goung Hei Investment Co., Ltd. was to seek out and
acquire potential business opportunities. Morgan Cooper, Inc.
("MCII") was incorporated on August 2, 1999, under the laws of
the State of New York. Pursuant to a reorganization, (see Note
3), MCII became a wholly owned subsidiary of GHIC. On November
24, 1999, GHIC acquired the assets of Tianjian Garment USA, Inc.
at which time Tianjian became a wholly-owned subsidiary of GHIC.
The consolidated Company designs and imports men's and women's
private and name brand apparel, which will be sold to retailers
throughout the country.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Principles of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Morgan Cooper, Inc. (DE) f/k/a Goung Hei Investment Co., Ltd.,
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Morgan Cooper, Inc. (NY) and
Tianjian Garment USA, Inc. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounts Receivable:
The company considers accounts receivable to be fully
collectible; accordingly no allowance for doubtful accounts is
required. The company will utilize a direct write-off method
should accounts receivable be considered uncollectible.
Advertising:
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash at banks and
highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or
less.
Inventories:
Inventories are valued at lower of cost or market.
Federal Income Taxes:
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109), which provides for
the recognition of deferred tax assets, net of an applicable
valuation allowance, related to net operating loss carryforwards
and certain temporary differences.
Stock Options and Warrants:
The Company accounts for stock options and warrants in accordance
with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25),
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Under APB 25, the
Company recognizes no compensation expense related to employee
stock options and warrants, as no options and warrants are
granted at a price below the market price on the date of grant.
Loss Per Share:
Basic net loss per share was computed based on the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
period.
<PAGE> 5
NOTE 3 - BUSINESS COMBINATION:
Pursuant to a Reorganization and Stock Purchase Agreement dated
November 18, 1999, GHIC issued 9,637,652 shares of common stock
to the stockholders of MCII in exchange for all of the
outstanding shares of MCII. The transaction made MCII a wholly-
owned subsidiary of GHIC. In January 2000, GHIC changed its name
to "Morgan Cooper, Inc."
NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN:
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company
has negative working capital and has incurred a material net loss
for the six months ended June 30, 2000. In addition, the Company
has not generated material revenues through the second quarter of
2000 and is currently unable to meet its obligations as they come
due. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
As discussed in Note 11, the Private Placement Memorandum issued
on March 15, 2000 was terminated on June 15, 2000. Management is
continuing to seek out investors and during July, 2000, has
received proceeds from an accredited investor of $750,000. These
proceeds were used to satisfy outstanding obligations. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be
necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going
concern.
NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES:
The Company's total deferred tax liabilities, deferred tax assets
and valuation allowance consists of the following at June 30,
2000:
Total deferred tax liabilities $ -
Total deferred tax assets 364,150
Total valuation allowance (364,150)
---------
$ -
=========
NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE:
During 1999 and 2000, the Company issued $767,500 of 12%
convertible promissory notes to prospective investors via a
subscription agreement. The notes provide that the promissory
notes are convertible into common stock at a price equal to 50%
of the price at which such securities are issued in the offering.
As of June 30, 2000, $705,000 of the total offering received of
$767,500, was converted into common stock of the Company.
<PAGE> 6
NOTE 7 - SHAREHOLDERS' LOANS:
On June 8, 2000, a principal shareholder contributed 637,533
shares of Morgan Cooper stock in exchange for a shareholder loan
payable of $205,000. The shares were subsequently issued to
third parties in order to satisfy outstanding bridge loans
payable.
NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
On November 23, 1999, employment contracts were entered into with
the Chairman/President and the Executive Vice President/Lead
Designer. Both agreements expire in August 2002 and provide a
salary of $250,000 and $160,000 per annum, respectively. The
agreements provide increases in salary plus bonuses and stock
options when the Company achieves certain financial milestones.
In addition, payments in the amount of $60,000 will be made on
behalf of the Chairman/President in connection with payment of
interest on indebtedness of the Company's predecessor, which were
personally guaranteed.
Also, during 1999, the Company entered into employment agreements
with four key individuals. These agreements became effective
January 3, 2000. The employment agreements are for a term of
thirty-nine months and provide for aggregate annual salaries of
$1,110,000. The agreements also provide for bonuses and stock
option incentives based upon specified performance criteria.
In April 2000, the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tianjian
Garments USA, Inc. and certain of its key employees have been
named as defendants in a lawsuit seeking compensatory and
punitive damages. The suit alleges tortious interference of
contract from the Company's hiring of two former employees of the
plaintiff who were subject to employment agreements. The
plaintiff initially obtained a temporary restraining order
("TRO") against the Company from doing business with any of the
plaintiff's customers, but the Company was successful in having
this TRO vacated. The Company intends to vigorously contest the
lawsuit, however management is unable to evaluate the ultimate
outcome or whether the resulting liability, if any, would have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company.
In June, 2000, the Company entered into a consulting agreement
wit an individual to provide financial public relations services
for a term of one year in exchange for 50,000 shares of stock and
warrants to purchase up to 650,000 shares of stock with an
exercise price of $3.50 per share and a three-year expiration.
As of the financial statement date, the stock and warrants have
not been issued and the financial statements do not include any
adjustment.
<PAGE> 7
NOTE 9 - LEASE COMMITMENTS:
During 1999, the Company entered a four year, three month sub-
lease agreement for showroom space with monthly rent of $3,733
per month. On February 15, 2000, a two-year lease was entered
into for space for a design studio with monthly rent of $2,000
per month. On April 1, 2000, a one-year, seven-month sub-lease
agreement was entered into for office space with monthly rent of
$6,000 per month. Rent expense including escalation charges for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $32,095.
At June 30, 2000, future minimum payments on the leases are as
follows:
Year
----

2001 164,800
2002 54,800
2003 44,800
-------
$ 352,800
=========
NOTE 10 - STOCK OPTION PLANS:
Under terms of the Company's incentive stock option plans,
officers and certain other employees may be granted options to
purchase the Company's common stock at no less than 100% of the
market price on the date the option is granted. As of June 30,
2000, the Company's stock options available are based on the
performance goals of the Company as noted in key personnel
employee agreements. At June 30, 2000, there were 800,000
options outstanding.
NOTE 11 - PRIVATE PLACEMENT MEMORANDUM:
On March 15, 2000, the Company issued a Private Placement
Memorandum offering up to 1,600,000 shares of common stock with
an attached warrant open for three years to purchase a share of
common stock for an offering price of $3.75 per share.

accredited investor in July, 2000 in exchange for 500,000 shares
of common stock and 250,000 non-dilutive warrants with an
exercise price of $2.00 per share for a duration of three years.
<PAGE> 8
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF
OPERATION
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
the Company's financial statements and notes thereto included in
Item 1 of this Form 10-QSB report.
During the next twelve months, the Company plans to design,
manufacturer and distribute "better" women's sportswear under the
Morgan Cooper brand to be distributed through specialty and
"better" department stores, and also to produce private label
goods for retailers such as J.C. Penny, Walmart, K-Mart, Sears
and Target.
Operating Subsidiary
The Company has established a wholly-owned subsidiary called
Tianjin Garment USA, Inc. ("Tianjin"). Tianjin commenced
operations in January 2000. Tianjin will specialize in private
label sales to five major accounts: Walmart, K-Mart, J.C. Penney,
Target and Sears. Tianjin has hired a strong management team of
George Powell, Michael Russo, and James Toth. In 1999, this
management team designed and sold over $69,000,000 to the five
accounts listed above. These individuals have consistently
achieved similar sales figures for the past eleven years while
working for other companies.
George Powell is the chief executive officer and will assume
responsibility for strategic planning of all domestic and
international operations and all sales to J.C. Penney. Michael
Russo is the vice president of sales and will assume
responsibility for sales plans and specific direction of all
Walmart programs. Jimmy Toth is the chief operating officer and
will assume responsibility for all domestic and international
operations and merchandising operations.
Advertising, Sales and Marketing
The Company plans to capitalize on the existing Morgan
Cooper trademark and to develop, promote and maintain a
consistent image through coordination of advertising,
merchandising and promotion, both in retail stores and on the
Internet. The Company plans to advertise in magazines such as
Elle, Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, as well as on television, to
promote its high quality, contemporary, sophisticated image to
women aged 19-40, a slightly younger demographic group than that
targeted by the Company's most prominent competitors.
Growth Strategies
The Company's strategy will employ six major elements which
it believes will result in successful market penetration:
1. Rapid expansion of the private label division through
expanded product sales within existing private label and brand
label customers.
2. Support for Tianjin USA Inc.
3. Creation of five unique annual collections to be exhibited
at trade shows and to existing buyers and clientele.
4. Exploitation of its strategic alliance with Tsinlien
Garments Co., Ltd.
5. Creation of a successful awareness campaign, including
print, television and electronic media, for the designer and
private label lines of Morgan Cooper.
6. Implementation of a full e-commerce Internet site to market
the Morgan Cooper trademark labels over the Internet.
Sourcing
The Company's sourcing strategy will be to contract for the
manufacture of its product lines and collections. Outsourcing
will allow the Company to maximize production flexibility while
avoiding significant capital expenditures, work-in-process
inventory buildups and the costs of managing a large production
work force. The Company will inspect products manufactured by
contractors to insure that they meet the Company's quality
standards.
The Company will import most of its finished goods because
it believes it can import higher quality at lower costs than can
be achieved domestically in the United States. Senior management
has extensive long-term relationships with the manufacturers of
the Morgan Cooper trademark products and has established a
relationship with Tsinlien Garments Co., Ltd. group in China for
the manufacture of the private label products. The Company's
production and sourcing staff will oversee all aspects of apparel
manufacturing and production, the negotiation for raw materials
and the research and development of new products and sources.
The Company's agreement with Tsinlien Garments Co., Ltd., and its
agreements with several other manufacturers in China that are
being assigned by the Company's predecessor, will allow the
Company effectively to compete and maintain high profit margins
by allowing the Company to purchase raw goods at cost and the
contract manufacturer to manufacture and distribute the products
to the retail clients and clientele of the Company. Although the
Company's relationship with Tsinlien is relatively new,
management believes that Tsinlien has the capacity and quality
control systems to enable it to satisfy the Company's needs.
Tsinlien Garments Co., which has 40 garment factories within
mainland China, has been successfully manufacturing garments for
European and Asian designers for 35 years. It is a subsidiary of
Tianjin Development Corp., a major Chinese conglomerate, and one
of only eight mainland Chinese companies currently trading on the
Hong Kong Stock Exchange (Hang Seng Index).
The Company expects to have its products manufactured
according to plans prepared each year, which reflect prior year's
experience, current fashion trends, economic conditions and
management estimates of the performance of its various fashion
lines. In certain cases, the Company expects to negotiate
separately with suppliers for sale of raw materials, which will
then be purchased by its contractors in accordance with the
Company's specifications. The Company intends to limit its
exposure to holding excess inventory by committing to purchase a
portion of total projected demand. The Company believes it will
be able to satisfy the excess demand through reorders. The
Company believes that its policy of limiting its commitments for
purchases early in the season will reduce its exposure to excess
inventory and obsolescence.
The Company's reliance on third party manufacturing could
result in the Company being unable to deliver on a timely basis,
which could result in the cancellation of orders, refusal to
accept orders or a reduction in purchase price, any of which
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition and results of operations. Although the Company
believes that in the event and if needed, the Company can replace
such suppliers in a timely manner, there can be no assurance that
such suppliers could be replaced in a timely manner, and the loss
of such suppliers could have a significant effect on the
Company's short-term operation results.
Seasonality of Business
The Company's business varies with general seasonal trends
that are characteristic of the apparel industry, and it generally
experiences lower net revenues and net income (or higher net
losses) in the first half of each fiscal year, as compared to the
second half of its fiscal year. On a quarterly basis, the
Company's operations may vary with production and shipping
schedules, the introduction of new products, and variation in the
timing of certain holidays from year to year.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND BUSINESS CONSIDERATIONS
Certain statements contained herein are forward-looking
statements that have been made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. The words and phrases "will likely result," "are expected

the Company's expectations regarding sales, earnings, or other
future financial performance and liquidity, and general
statements about future operations and operating results.
Although the Company believes that its expectations are based on
reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its
business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual
results will not differ materially from its expectations. Factors
that could cause actual results to differ from expectations
include, without limitation: (i) the failure of certain key
members of the Company's design teams or management, including
Morgan and Zarina Cooper, to continue to be active in the
business of the Company; (ii) the timing and expense associated
with, and effects of, the strategic initiatives being implemented
by the Company; (iii) risks associated with the receipt, pricing,
and timing of customer orders; (iv) general competitive factors
and the overall financial condition of the apparel industry, the
retail industry, and the general economy; (v) a change in
retailer or consumer acceptance of the Company's products; (vi)
the variability of the Company's results in any period due to the
seasonal nature of the business, the timing and level of the
Company's sales, the timing of launch of new products and
collections and opening of new doors, fashion trends, and the
timing, terms, consummation, or success of any joint ventures,
licenses, or other dispositions of product lines; (vii) social,
political and economic risks to the Company's foreign operations
and customers, including changes in foreign investment and trade
policies and regulations of the host countries and of the United
States; (viii) changes in laws, regulations, and policies,

affect, the Company in the United States and abroad; (ix) foreign
currency fluctuations affecting the Company's results of
operations and value of its foreign assets, the relative price at
which the Company and foreign competitors sell their products in
the same markets, and the Company's operating and manufacturing
costs outside of the United States; (x) shipment delays,
depletion of inventory, and increased production costs resulting
from disruption at any of the Company's facilities or other
causes; (xi) changes in product mix to ones which are less
profitable; (xii) infringements of the Company's trademarks and
other proprietary rights, imitations or diversions of the
Company's products, or inability to obtain trademark protection

disruption of trade from the countries in which the Company's
contractors, suppliers, licensees, or customers are located, the
imposition of additional regulations relating to imports, the
imposition of additional duties, taxes, and other charges on
imports, significant fluctuations of the value of the dollar
against foreign currencies, or restriction on transfer of funds;
(xiv) the inability of a contractor to deliver the Company's
products in a timely manner thereby causing the Company to miss
the delivery date requirements of its customers, which in turn
could result in the cancellation of orders, refusal to accept
deliveries, or a reduction in the selling price; or (xv) the
violation of labor or other laws by any independent manufacturer
or any licensee. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements made herein or
elsewhere whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise.
PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As of the date of this filing, the Company, its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Tianjian Garments USA, Inc. and certain of its key
employees have been named as defendants in a lawsuit seeking
compensatory and punitive damages. The suit alleges tortious
interference of contractual relations resulting from the
Company's hiring of two former employees of the plaintiff who
were subject to employment agreements. The Company intends to
vigorously contest the lawsuit, however management is unable at
this time to evaluate the ultimate outcome or whether the
resulting liability, if any, would have a material adverse effect
on the financial condition and results of operations of the
Company. The Company's litigation counsel believes that there is
a likelihood that the case will be dismissed upon the Company's
