NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004 and 2003
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. BACKGROUND
Azur International, Inc. is in the business of developing and marketing luxury
residential and resort properties.
The Company was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada in June 1997
under the name of Union Chemical Corporation in order to be a partner in a joint
venture that was never consummated. In June 1999, the Company changed its name
to Hotyellow98.com, Inc. as it acquired an Arizona corporation, Hotyellow98.com.
The Company subsequently changed its name to the current name of Azur
International, Inc.
In November of 2001 the Company entered bankruptcy under chapter 7 of the
bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the district of
Arizona. It emerged from bankruptcy in July 2003.
On February 9, 2004 Azur International, Inc. acquired Azur Development Corp.
(formally known as Mingo Bay Development Corp) in a stock for stock transaction.
B. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include accounts of Azur International,
Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material transactions have been
eliminated. The following is a list of subsidiaries and their respective
controlling interests:
Rio Vista, LLC - 53%
48 Hendricks LLC - 63%
Azur Development Corp. - 100%
C. REAL ESTATE HOLDINGS
Real estate investments are stated at the lower of cost or market. Acquisition
costs are allocated to respective properties based on appraisals of the various
properties acquired in the acquisition.
D. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Real Property: Revenue is recognized under the full accrual method of accounting
upon the completed sale of real property held for development and sale. All
costs incurred directly or indirectly in acquiring and developing the real
property are capitalized.
E. 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 disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
F. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand; cash in banks, and any highly
liquid investments with maturity of three months or less at the time of
purchase. The Company and its subsidiaries

maintain cash and cash equivalent balances at several financial institutions,
which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000.
At times, the cash balances may exceed federally insured limits. We have not
experienced any losses in such accounts and we believe the risk related to these
deposits is minimal.
G. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are carried at cost and are being depreciated over their
useful lives using straight line depreciation methods.
The estimated useful lives of significant assets are as follows:
Equipment 5 years
Land Improvements 20 years
Buildings 40 years
H. EARNINGS/LOSS PER SHARE
Primary earnings per common share are computed by dividing the net income (loss)
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock
equivalents outstanding during the quarter and year-to-date. The number of
shares used for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was 25,733,417 and the
resulting loss per share was $.03.
I. INCOME TAXES
In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement on
Financial Accounting Standards 109 of "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under
Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases. The Company has net operating losses (NOL's) of
approximately $ 1,785,377.
Statutory federal income taxes 34%
Valuation allowance (34)
Effective tax rate 0%

A. On November 17, 2004 the Company acquired The Grand Shell Landing, Inc.,
which operates an 18-hole golf course, pro shop and restaurant in
Mississippi. At the present time, The Grand Shell Landing, Inc. generates
golf-related revenues only; there is no real estate activity as of yet.
B. On February 24, 2005 the Company purchased Airtek Safety Limited, a
British company which derives income from the rental of cranes and
equipment and services to the construction industry. The purchase, which
was effective January 1, 2005, was a cash transaction whereby the sellers
have the option of taking stock in lieu of cash. Pursuant to the purchase
agreement with the shareholders of Airtek, Azur International has agreed
to pay 6.1 million pounds (approximately $11,224,000) on August 24, 2005
(extended to February 24, 2006). The shareholders have the option to
acquire an aggregate of 3,741,333 shares of common stock in lieu of cash
payment due. The shares of Airtek are being held in escrow pending payment
of the purchase consideration. In the event the Company defaults on its
obligation, the agreement will be rescinded and the escrowed shares will
be returned to the Airtek shareholders.
C. On May 5, 2005 the Company entered into an agreement to acquire up to 80%
of the land surrounding the Grand Shell Landing Golf Course in
Mississippi. The Company has invested a total of $1,300,309 in said land.
D. On May 18, 2005 Azur Development Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company assigned its interest in 48 Hendricks LLC to Azur
International Inc. for business and financing purposes.
E. On June 1, 2005 pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of June 1,
2005 between HVST Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation owned and
controlled by James A. Ditanna of King of Prussia, Pennsylvania ("HVST
Acquisition"), and Azur International, Inc. ("Azur"), HVST Acquisition
sold to Azur 68,960,000 shares of common stock of New Harvest Capital
Corporation, constituting approximately 50.4% of the outstanding common
shares of New Harvest (the "Harvest Shares"). The purchase price for the
Harvest Shares was $550,000 paid in cash. By virtue of its acquisition of
a majority of the voting securities of New Harvest on such date, Azur
acquired from HVST Acquisition control of New Harvest Capital Corporation
on June 1, 2005.
Simultaneously with the acquisition of the New Harvest Shares, Azur
entered into a Consulting and Investment Banking Services Agreement with
Venture Fund I, Inc., a Nevada corporation owned by James Ditanna
("Venture") under which Venture has agreed to provide to Azur certain
information, evaluation and consulting and investment banking services for

AZUR INTERNATIONAL, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004 and 2003
F. On August 9, 2005, the Company and the shareholders of Airtek Safety
Limited signed the First Addendum to the Agreement for the Sale and
Purchase of the Entire Issued Share Capital of Airtek Safety Limited. The
addendum extended the "Deferred Payment Date" in the initial agreement to
six months from August 24, 2005, making the new due date February 24,
2006. As part of the addendum, the Company shall pay the following
"Installment Payments": $250,000 on September 24th, 2005, and $75,000 each
subsequent month on October 24th, 2005, November 24th, 2005, December
24th, 2005 and January 24th, 2005. The first payment of $250,000 was made
on September 29, 2005. The Installment Payments shall be distributed to
the Sellers in their respective percentages. The Installment Payments
shall reduce the total purchase price accordingly, and the Consideration
Shares held by the escrow agent shall be reduced and returned to the
Company as follows: 83,000 shares on September 24, 2005, and 25,000 shares
upon each subsequent installment payment.
G. On August 29-30, 2005 the state of Mississippi was affected by Hurricane
Katrina. Shell Landing Golf Course, which is located in Gautier,
Mississippi, was impacted by this hurricane. No significant structural
damage has occurred, mostly due to the high elevation of the land
pertaining to the golf course. There was loss of power to the area, which
resumed on September 2, 2005. Although the golf course resumed operations
on September 23, 2005, we do expect a reduction in revenues from the golf
course in the short term as a result of the hurricane. The insurance
company has been contacted and the claims have been submitted with respect
to economic loss and damage that may have occurred to the gold course and
any related property.
