(“Citysky”) and subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
are not audited. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with
requirements for unaudited interim periods, and consequently do not include

the
opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary
for
a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2008 and
the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended March
31, 2008 and 2007.
The
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for a full year period.
NOTE
2 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Business
Combinations and Acquisitions
The
Company was incorporated on July 8, 1983 and was engaged in the business
of
providing specialty printing services to the commercial printing industry.
On
April 16, 2008, the Company’s board of directors and its shareholders approved
an amendment to its amended and restated articles of incorporation changing
the
Company’s name from “JOMAR Specialties, Inc.” to “Great East Bottles &
Drinks (China) Holdings, Inc.”.
On
March
10, 2008, the Company entered into and closed a Share Exchange Agreement
(the
“Share Exchange Agreement”) with Citysky and the sole shareholder of Citysky
(“Shareholder”) to acquire 100% ownership of Citysky from the Shareholder at a
consideration of 6,492,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the
Shareholder (the “Exchange Shares”). Immediately upon completion of the share
exchange transaction through issuance of the Exchange Shares, the Company
had a
total of approximately 8,000,000 shares of its common stock issued and
outstanding.
Citysky,
through its China-based subsidiaries, manufacture beverage bottles that are
primarily made from polyethelyne terephthelate, or PET, which is a type of
plastic that has desirable characteristics for packaging including clear
and a
wide range of color and shape, tough, good resistance to heat, moisture and
the
ability to dilute acid. The Company’s beverage bottles are manufactured in China
and are sold to major Carbonated Soft Drink (“CSD”) suppliers in China including
Coca-Cola and Pepsi.
Citysky
owns and operates three subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (“China”
or “PRC”) including:
1. Hangzhou
Great East Packaging Co., Limited through Great East Packaging International
Limited, a British Virgin Islands company
2. Nanjing
Great East Packaging Co., Limited through Great East Packaging (Nanjing)
Limited, a British Virgin Islands company
3. Xian
Great East Packaging Co., Limited through Great East Packaging (Xian) Limited,
a
British Virgin Islands company
Each
of
these subsidiaries is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise registered in
China.
6
Principles
of Consolidation
For
quarter ended and as of March 31, 2008, the unaudited consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and the following wholly-owned
subsidiaries:
1.
|
Citysky
|
2.
|
Great
East Packaging International Limited, which owns 99% equity of
Hangzhou
Great East Packaging Co., Limited
|
3.
|
Great
East Packaging (Nanjing) Limited, which owns 100% equity of Nanjing
Great
East Packaging Co., Limited
|
4.
|
Great
East Packaging (Xian) Limited, which owns 100% of Xian Great East
Packaging Co., Limited
|
The
Company acquired 100% ownership of Citysky. The accompanying unaudited financial
statements are based upon the historical consolidated balance sheets and
consolidated statements of operations of the Company and Citysky. The unaudited
consolidated balance sheet has been prepared as if the acquisition occurred
on
December 31, 2007. The unaudited consolidated statements of operations for
the
period ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007 have been prepared as if the
acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2007. The statements are based on
accounting for the business combination as a reverse acquisition, whereby
the
Company will be the surviving corporate entity, but Citysky is the accounting
acquirer. As Citysky is the accounting acquirer in a transaction accounted
for
as a purchase in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
the
purchase price has been allocated to the Company's assets and liabilities
based
upon preliminary estimates of their respective fair values.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and the Company’s subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances
and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements
are
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used
in the
United States of America.
NOTE
3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)
Economic and Political Risk
The
Company’s major operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the political,
economic, and legal environments in the PRC, as well as the general state
of the
PRC’s economy may influence the Company’s business, financial condition, and
results of operations.
The
Company’s major operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and
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 environment. The Company’s results may be
adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws
and
regulations, anti-inflationary measures, and rates and methods of taxation,
among other things.
(b)
|
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
|
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains
bank accounts in Hong Kong and China through its wholly-owned
subsidiaries.
7
(c)
|
Accounts
Receivable
|
Trade
receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less
allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts
is
made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts
are
written off as incurred. The Company has recorded an allowance for doubtful
accounts of $55,082 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. There were no
bad
debts incurred for three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
(d)
|
Inventories
|
Inventories
consisting of raw materials, work-in-progress, goods in transit and finished
goods are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Finished goods
are comprised of direct materials, direct labor and a portion of overhead.
Inventory costs are calculated using a weighted average, first in first out
(FIFO) method of accounting.
(e)
|
Property,
Plant and Equipment
|
Property,
plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The
cost
of maintenance and repairs is charged to the statement of income as incurred,
whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. The cost and
the
related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are
eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement
of income.
(f)
|
Land
Use Right
|
According
to the law of PRC, the government owns all the land in PRC. Companies or
individuals are authorized to possess and use the land only through land
use
rights granted by the PRC government for 40 to 50 years.
Land
use
right represent the cost for purchasing the right to use the leasehold land
for
the production facilities of Hangzhou Great East Packaging Co., Limited and
Nanjing Great East Packaging Co., Limited. It is stated at cost less
amortization. Land use rights are being amortized using the straight-line
method
over the lease term of 50 years.
Amortization
expense was $2,231 and $2,062 for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
(g)
|
Depreciation
and Amortization
|
The
Company provides for depreciation of plant and equipment principally by use
of
the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Plant and equipment
are depreciated over the following estimated useful lives:
Building
|
20
years
|
|||
Leasehold
improvement
|
5
years
|
|||
Office
equipment
|
5
years
|
|||
Machinery
and equipment
|
5
- 10 years
|
|||
Transportation
equipment
|
5
years
|
The
depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008
and
2007 amounted to $408,473 and $450,773, respectively.
(h)
|
Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets
|
The
long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of
assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets
could
become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes.
Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing
the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to
be
generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed
of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs
to
sell. There were no impairments of long-lived assets for the quarters ended
March 31, 2008 and 2007.
8
(i)
|
Income
Tax
|
The
Company has adopted the provisions of statements of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which incorporates the
use of
the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. The Company
allows for recognition of deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the
asset
and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects
of
temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
A
valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely
than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize
their benefits, or that future realization is uncertain.
In
accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of PRC and Hong Kong,
the
corporation income tax rate applicable ranges from 17.5% to 33.0%. At times
generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to recognize
certain income and expenses that do not conform to the timing and conditions
allowed by the PRC. The Company incurred income tax expense of $156,297 and
$50,748 for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
(j)
|
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
|
The
carrying amounts of the Company's cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable
and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity
of
these items. Term debt secured by various properties have interest rates
attached to them commensurate with the finance market at the time and management
believes approximate fair values in the short as well as the long term. It
is
currently not practicable to estimate the fair value of the other debt
obligations because these note agreements contain unique terms, conditions,
covenants and restrictions which were negotiated at arm's length with the
Company's lenders, and there is no readily determinable similar instrument
on
which to base an estimate of fair value. Accordingly, no computation or
adjustment to fair value has been determined.
(k)
|
Revenue
Recognition
|
Revenue
represents the invoiced value of goods sold recognized upon the shipment
of
goods to customers. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria
are
met:
a) Persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists,
b) Delivery
has occurred,
c) The
seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and
d) Collectibility
is reasonably assured.

Per Share
|
Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing income 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 March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, there was no dilutive security
outstanding.

Use
of Estimates
|
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States 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 may differ from those estimates.

Retirement
Benefits
|
The
country of PRC mandates companies to contribute funds into the national
retirement system, which benefits qualified employees based on where they
were
born within the country. The Company pays the required payment of qualified
employees of the Company as a payroll tax expense. Very few employees in
the
Company fall under the mandatory conditions requiring the Company to pay
as a
payroll tax expense into the retirement system of the PRC.
The
Company's PRC subsidiaries are required to make appropriations to staff welfare
fund, based on after-tax net income determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles of the PRC. Appropriations to the staff welfare
fund are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The staff welfare
fund is established for the purpose of providing employee facilities and
other
collective benefits to the employees and is non-distributable other than
in
liquidation.
The
Company provides no other retirement benefits to its employees.

Comprehensive
Income
|

from
investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures,
all
items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards
as
components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial
statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial
statements. Comprehensive income includes net income and the foreign currency
translation gain, net of tax.

accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States
Dollars (US$). The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB).

transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation
is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into
US$ at
the rates used in translation.

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Note
regarding forward – looking statements
This
quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the
federal securities laws. These include statements about our expectations,
beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future, which we indicate by words
or
phrases such as "anticipate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "will," "we believe,"
"the Company believes" "management believes" and similar language. The
forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the Company
and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including
those
set forth in the discussion under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this report. The actual
results may differ materially from results anticipated in these forward-looking
statements. We base the forward-looking statements on information currently
available to us, and we assume no obligation to update them.
Investors
are also advised to refer to the information in our filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, specifically Forms 10-K, 10-QSB and 8-K, in which
we
discuss in more detail various important factors that could cause actual
results
to differ from expected or historic results. It is not possible to foresee
or
identify all such factors. As such, investors should not consider any list
of
such factors to be an exhaustive statement of all risks and uncertainties
or
potentially inaccurate assumptions.
Except
as
otherwise indicated by the context, references in this Form 10-Q to “ “we,”
“us,” “our,” “the Registrant”, “our Company,” or “the Company” are to Great East
Bottles and Drinks (China) Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation and its
consolidated subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references
to (i) “BVI” are to British Virgin Islands; (ii) “PRC” and “China” are to the
People’s Republic of China; (iii) “U.S. dollar,” “$” and “US$” are to United
States dollars; (iv) “RMB” are to Yuan Renminbi of China; (v) “Securities Act”
are to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and (vi) “Exchange Act” are to
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
financial statements and related public financial information are based on
the
application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
("US GAAP"). US GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments
and
subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on
the
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses amounts reported. These estimates
can
also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures
including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition.
We
believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere
to
GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates
on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to
be
reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially
from
these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to
monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial
statements.
We
believe the following is among the most critical accounting policies that
impact
our consolidated financial statements. We suggest that our significant
accounting policies, as described in our consolidated financial statements
in
the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, be read in conjunction with
this
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
17
We
recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No.
104.
All of the following criteria must exist in order for us to recognize
revenue:
1.
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
2.
Delivery has occurred;
3.
The
seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and
4.
Collectability is reasonably assured.
The
majority of the Company's revenue results from sales contracts with direct
customers and revenues are generated upon the shipment of goods. The Company's
pricing structure is fixed and there are no rebate or discount programs.
Management conducts credit background checks for new customers as a means
to
reduce the subjectivity of assuring collectability. Based on these factors,
the
Company believes that it can apply the provisions of SAB 104 with minimal
subjectivity.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company does not expect that the adoption of any recent accounting
pronouncements will have any material impact on its financial
statements.

Revenues
Sales
revenue increased from $4,654,155
in the
first quarter of 2007 to $5,737,843
in the
same period in 2008, representing a 23.3% increase. The increase in revenue
was
mainly due to the increase in demand of PET bottles from Coca - Cola and
Pepsi,
which are our major customers.
Cost
of
sales and gross margin
Cost
of
sales increased from $3,943,637 in the first quarter of 2007 to $4,386,109
in
the same period in 2008, representing a 11.2% increase. The increase was
due to
the increase in sales in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the same
period last year. We recorded a gross margin of 23.6% in the first quarter
of
2008, an increase of 54.2% as compared to 15.3% in the same period last year.
The increase was mainly due to the increase in production volume, which lowered
the per unit fixed costs.
Sales
and
marketing
Sales
and
marketing expenses decreased by $4,749 or 32.1% from $14,806 in first quarter
2007 to $10,057 in the same period 2008. We implemented cost controls on
our
sales team’s travel and entertainment expenses in the year of 2008, which
reduced the sales and marketing expenses.
General
and administrative
General
and administrative expenses increased from $311,447 in the first quarter
of 2007
to $412,737 for the same period 2008, representing an increase of $101,290
or
32.5%. The increase was mainly due to significant increase in staff costs,
including salary and insurance costs as a result of the implementation of
the
PRC Labor Contract Law commencing January 1, 2008.
Finance
Finance
costs increased by $9,320 or 4.9% from $192,091 for the first quarter of
2007 to
$201,411 for the same period 2008. This was mainly due to the increase in
average bank borrowing interest rates in China during the three month period
ended March 31, 2008.
Net
income
Net
income for the first quarter ended 2008 was $625,240 as compared to $222,040
in
the same period 2007. The material increase was mainly attributable to the
increase in sales and the improved in gross margin during the
period.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Cash
Our
cash
balance at March 31, 2008 was $121,106, representing a slight increase of
$3,916, or 3.3%, compared with our cash balance of $117,190 as at March 31,
2007. The cash balances are comparable between the two balance sheet dates.
The
cash is mainly used to fund our operations. .
19
Cash
flow
Operating
Activities
Net
cash
outflows from operating activities during the three months ended March 31,
2008
amounted to $3,451,965, representing an increase in outflow of $ 2,351,260
compared with net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,100,705 in
the
same period of 2007. The increase in cash outflow was primarily due to lending
an interest bearing short term borrowing to one of our related companies
during
the period ended March 31, 2008.
Investing
Activities
Net
cash
outflow from investing activities decreased from $103,589 for the first quarter
ended 2007 to $86,181 for the same period of 2008, representing a decrease
of
16.8%. The net cash outflows for both periods were mainly attributable to
payments made for purchases of normal replacements of domestic production
equipment.
Financing
Activities
Net
cash
flow provided from financing activities was $3,263,754 for the first quarter
of
2008, representing an increase of $2,642,492 or 425.3% over the net cash
inflow
of $621,262 recorded in the same period of 2007. The change was due to the
increase in our loan drawn down and the decrease in pledged deposits required
by
bank detailed in NOTE 12 of our financial statements for period ended March
31,
2008.
Working
capital
Our
working capital increased by $3,493,261 to $3,916,759 at March 31, 2008 from
$423,498 at December 31, 2007, primarily due to the increase in loan drawn
down
during the first quarter of 2008.
We
currently generate our cash flow through production and sales of PET bottles
and
PET performs in China. We believe that our cash flow generated from operations
will be sufficient to sustain operations for at least the next 12 months.
There
is no identifiable expansion plan as of March 31, 2008, but from time to
time,
we may identify new expansion opportunities for which there will be a need
for
use of cash.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
do not
have any off balance sheet arrangements
20
Inflation
Inflation
has not had a material impact on our business and we do not expect inflation
to
have an impact on our business in the near future
Currency
Exchange Fluctuations
All
of
the Company’s revenues and a majority of its expenses in the three months ended
March 31, 2008 were denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”), the currency of China, and
were converted into US dollars at the exchange rate of 7.766 to 1. In the
third
quarter of 2005, the Renminbi began to rise against the US dollar. There
can be
no assurance that RMB-to-U.S. dollar exchange rates will remain stable. A
devaluation of RMB relative to the U.S. dollar would adversely affect our
business, consolidated financial condition and results of operations. We
do not
engage in currency hedging.
ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
We
are
exposed to various market risks arising from adverse changes in market rates
and
prices, such as foreign exchange fluctuations and interest rates, which could
impact our results of operations and financial position. We do not currently
engage in any hedging or other market risk management tools, and we do not
enter
into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative
purposes.
Foreign
Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Fluctuations
in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies,
primarily the Chinese Renminbi, could adversely affect our financial results.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, approximately all of our sales are
denominated in foreign currencies. We expect that foreign currencies will
continue to represent a similarly significant percentage of our sales in
the
future. Selling, marketing and administrative costs related to these sales
are
largely denominated in the same respective currency, thereby mitigating our
transaction risk exposure. We therefore believe that the risk of a significant
impact on our operating income from foreign currency fluctuations is not
substantial. However, for sales not denominated in U.S. dollars, if there
is an
increase in the rate at which a foreign currency is exchanged for U.S. dollars,
it will require more of the foreign currency to equal a specified amount
of U.S.
dollars than before the rate increase. In such cases and if we price our
products in the foreign currency, we will receive less in U.S. dollars than
we
did before the rate increase went into effect. If we price our products in
U.S.
dollars and competitors price their products in local currency, an increase
in
the relative strength of the U.S. dollar could result in our price not being
competitive in a market where business is transacted in the local
currency.
21
All
of
our sales denominated in foreign currencies are denominated in the Chinese
Renminbi. Our principal exchange rate risk therefore exists between the U.S.
dollar and this currency. Fluctuations from the beginning to the end of any
given reporting period result in the re-measurement of our foreign
currency-denominated receivables and payables, generating currency transaction
gains or losses that impact our non-operating income/expense levels in the
respective period and are reported in other (income) expense, net in our
combined consolidated financial statements. We do not currently hedge our
exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We may, however,
hedge
such exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the
future.
Interest
Rate Risk
Changes
in interest rates may affect the interest paid (or earned) and therefore
affect
our cash flows and results of operations. However, we do not believe that
this
interest rate change risk is significant.
Inflation
Inflation
has not had a material impact on the Company's business in recent
years.
Currency
Exchange Fluctuations
All
of
the Company's revenues are denominated in Chinese Renminbi, while its expenses
are denominated primarily in Chinese Renminbi ("RMB"). The value of the
RMB-to-U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by,
among
other things, changes in political and economic conditions. Since 1994, the
conversion of RMB into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, has been
based on rates set by the People's Bank of China, which are set daily based
on
the previous day's inter-bank foreign exchange market rates and current exchange
rates on the world financial markets. Since 1994, the official exchange rate
for
the conversion of RMB to U.S. dollars had generally been stable and RMB had
appreciated slightly against the U.S. dollar. However, on July 21, 2005,
the
Chinese government changed its policy of pegging the value of RMB to the
U.S.
dollar. Under the new policy, RMB may fluctuate within a narrow and managed
band
against a basket of certain foreign currencies. Recently there has been
increased political pressure on the Chinese government to decouple the RMB
from
the United States dollar. At the recent quarterly regular meeting of People's
Bank of China, its Currency Policy Committee affirmed the effects of the
reform
on RMB exchange rate. Since February 2006, the new currency rate system has
been
operated; the currency rate of RMB has become more flexible while basically
maintaining stable and the expectation for a larger appreciation range is
shrinking. The Company has never engaged in currency hedging operations and
has
no present intention to do so.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Credit
risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognized at the reporting
date if counterparties failed completely to perform as contracted.
Concentrations of credit risk (whether on or off balance sheet) that arise
from
financial instruments exist for groups of customers or counterparties when
they
have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet
contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or
other
conditions as described below:
22
1.
|
The
Company's business is characterized by new product and service
development
and evolving industry standards and regulations. Inherent in the
Company's
business are various risks and uncertainties, including the impact
from
the volatility of the stock market, limited operating history,
uncertain
profitability and the ability to raise additional
capital.
|
2.
|
Approximately
100% of the Company's revenue is derived from China. Changes in
laws and
regulations, or their interpretation, or the imposition of confiscatory
taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, devaluations of
currency or
the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises
could
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations
and
financial condition.

3.
|
If
the Company is unable to derive any revenues from China, it would
have a
significant, financially disruptive effect on the normal operations
of the
Company.

ITEM
4. CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures
Our
Chief
Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer ("Certifying Officers")
maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed
to
provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be
disclosed, is accumulated and communicated to management timely. Under the
supervision and with the participation of management, our Certifying Officers
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange
Act)
within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report. Based upon that
evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls
and
procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information
relative to our Company required to be disclosed in our periodic filings
with
the SEC.
Changes
in internal controls
Our
Certifying Officers have indicated that there were no significant changes
in our
internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect such controls
subsequent to the date of their evaluation, and there were no such control
actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses.
Sarbanes –
Oxley Act 404 compliance
The
Company anticipates that it will be fully compliant with Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 by the required date for smaller reporting companies
and it is in the process of reviewing its internal control systems in order
to
be compliant with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. However, at this
time
the Company makes no representation that its systems of internal control
comply
with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

PART
II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
The
Company may from time to time be involved in various claims, lawsuits, and
disputes with third parties, actions involving allegations of discrimination,
or
breach of contract actions incidental to the operation of its business. The
Company is not currently involved in any such litigation that it believes could
have a materially adverse effect on its financial condition or results of
operations.
ITEM
1A RISK
FACTORS
Risks
Related to Our Business
Our
expansion strategy may not be proven successful.
One
of
our key strategies to grow our business is to aggressively expand our production
capacity. We will need to engage in various forms of capacity expansion
activities at corporate level, and of production activities at operational
level
in order to carry out our plans. Therefore, the Company’s proposed operations
are subject to all of the risks inherent in the unforeseen costs and expenses,
challenges, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with
the formation of any new business, as well as those risks that are specific
to
the bottled water industry in general. Despite our best efforts, we may never
overcome these obstacles to financial success. There can be no assurance that
the Company’s efforts will be successful or result in revenue or profit, or that
investors will not lose their entire investment
Supplying
PET bottles to beverage and service companies constitutes a major portion of
our
revenue. Any delays in delivery may affect our sales, damage our long-term
relationship with our client, and even incur penalty.
Sales
made to beverage and service companies account for a large portion of our total
sales. Recently, our production capacity is at more than 95%. If we failed
in
deliver the goods to those companies on time, we may run into a risk of damaging
our long-term relationship with the client.
Our
results of operations may fluctuate due to seasonality.
Our
sales
are subject to seasonality. For example, we typically experience higher sales
of
bottled water in summer time in coastal cities while the sales remain constant
through out the entire year in some inland cities. In general, we believe our
sales will be higher in the second and third quarter of the year when the
weather is hot and dry, and lower in the fourth and first quarter of the year
when the weather is cold and wet. Sales peak during the months from June to
September. Sales can also fluctuate during the course of a financial year for
a
number of other reasons, including weather conditions and the timing of
advertising and promotional campaigns. As a result of these reasons, our
operating results may fluctuate. In addition, the seasonality of our results
may
be affected by other unforeseen circumstances, such as production interruptions.
Due to these fluctuations, comparison of sales and operating results between
the
same periods within a single year, or between different periods in different
financial years, are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied on
as
indicators of our performance.
24
Increases
in raw material prices that we are not able to pass on to our some of our
customers would reduce our profit margins
The
principal raw materials we use in our production, is subject to a high degree
of
price volatility caused by external conditions like price fluctuations of PET
raw materials-the byproducts of oil, which account for a significant portion
of
our product cost. We cannot guarantee that the price we pay for our raw
materials will be stable in the future. Price changes to our raw materials
may
result in unexpected increases in production, packaging and distribution costs,
and we may be unable to increase the prices of our final products to offset
these increased costs to some of our customers for instance, Pepsi, and
therefore may suffer a reduction to our profit margins. We do not currently
hedge against changes in our raw material prices.
We
face increasing competition from both domestic and foreign companies, which
may
affect our market share and profit margin.
The
PET
bottles industry in China is highly competitive, and we expect it to continue
to
become even more competitive. Our ability to compete against these enterprises
is, to a significant extent, dependent on our ability to distinguish our
products from those of our competitor by providing high quality products at
reasonable prices that appeal to consumers. Some of our competitors may have
been in business longer than we have, may have substantially greater financial
and other resources than we have and may be better established in their markets.
Our competitors in any particular market may also benefit from raw material
sources or production facilities that are closer to such markets, which provide
them with competitive advantages in terms of costs and proximity to
consumers.
We
cannot
assure you that our current or potential competitors will not provide products
comparable or superior to those we provide or adapt more quickly than we do
to
evolving industry trends or changing market requirements. It is also possible
that there will be significant consolidation in the PET bottle industry among
our competitors, alliances may develop among competitors and these alliances
may
rapidly acquire significant market share. Furthermore, competition may lead
competitors to substantially increase their advertising expenditures and
promotional activities or to engage in irrational or predatory pricing behavior.
We also cannot assure you that third parties will not actively engage in
activities, whether legal or illegal, designed to undermine our brand name
and
product quality or to influence consumer confidence in our product. Increased
competition may result in price reductions, reduced margins and loss of market
share, any of which could materially adversely affect our profit margin. We
cannot assure you that we will be able to compete effectively against current
and future competitors.
Changes
in the existing laws and regulations or additional or stricter laws and
regulations on environmental protection in China may cause us to incur
significant capital expenditures, and we cannot assure that we will be able
to
comply with any such laws and regulations.
We
carry
on our business in an industry that is subject to PRC environmental protection
laws and regulations. These laws and regulations require enterprises engaged
in
manufacturing and construction that may cause environmental waste to adopt
effective measures to control and properly dispose of waste gases, waste water,
industrial waste, dust and other environmental waste materials, as well as
fee
payments from producers discharging waste substances. Fines may be levied
against producers causing pollution. If failure to comply with such laws or
regulations results in environmental pollution, the administrative department
for environmental protection can levy fines. If the circumstances of the breach
are serious, it is at the discretion of the central government of the PRC
including all governmental subdivisions to cease or close any operation failing
to comply with such laws or regulations. There can also be no assurance that
operation will fail to comply with such laws or regulations. There can also
be
no assurance that the PRC government will not change the exiting laws or
regulations or impose additional or stricter laws or regulations, compliance
with which may cause us to incur significant capital expenditure, which we
may
be unable to pass on to our customers through higher prices for our products.
In
addition, we cannot assure that we will be able to comply with any such laws
and
regulations.
25
We
may not successfully manage our growth.
Our
success will depend upon the expansion of our operations and the effective
management of our growth, which will place a significant strain on our
management and administrative, operational, and financial resources. To manage
this growth, we must expand our facilities, augment our operational, financial
and management systems, and hire and train additional qualified personnel.
If we
are unable to manage our growth effectively, our business would be
harmed.
We
rely on key executive officers. Their knowledge of our business and technical
expertise would be difficult to replace.
We
were
founded in 1994 by Mr. Chung
A
San Guy.
Since
then, Mr. Stetson Chung, the son of Mr.
Chung A
San Guy
and our
highly experienced senior management team has developed us into a large scale
PET bottle production company. Stetson Chung, together with other senior
management, has been the key driver of our strategy and has been fundamental
to
our achievements to date. The successful management of our business is, to
a
considerable extent, dependent on the services of Stetson Chung and other senior
management. The loss of the services of any key management employee or failure
to recruit a suitable or comparable replacement could have a significant impact
upon our ability to manage our business effectively and our business and future
growth may be adversely affected.
The
concentrated ownership of our common stock may have the effect of delaying
or
preventing a change in control of our Company.
Our
directors, officers, key personnel and their affiliates as a group beneficially
own a majority of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders
will be able to continue to exercise significant influence over all matters
requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval
of mergers, acquisitions and other significant corporate
transactions.
Because
our assets and operations are located outside the United States and a majority
of our officers and directors are non-United States citizens living outside
of
the United States, investors may experience difficulties in attempting to
enforce judgments based upon United States federal securities laws against
us
and our directors. United States laws and/or judgments might not be enforced
against us in foreign jurisdictions.
All
of
our operations are conducted through a subsidiary corporation organized and
located outside of the United States, and all the assets of our subsidiary
are
located outside the United States. In addition, all of our officers and
directors are foreign citizens. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible
for U.S. investors to enforce judgments made by U.S. courts for civil
liabilities against our operating entities or against any of our individual
directors or officers. In addition, U. S. investors should not assume that
courts in the countries in which our subsidiary is incorporated or where the
assets of our subsidiary are located (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts
obtained in actions against us or our subsidiary based upon the civil liability
provisions of applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws or (ii) would
enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or our subsidiary based
upon these laws.
26
We
are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which
can
be expensive.
We
are a
public reporting company in the U.S. and, accordingly, subject to the
information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal
securities laws, and the compliance obligations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
The
costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements
and
other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders
will cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if we remained a
privately-held company.
Because
we became public by means of a “reverse merger”, we may not be able to attract
the attention of major brokerage firms.
Additional
risks may exist since we will become public through a “reverse merger.”
Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us
since there is little incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase
of
our common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want
to
conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of our company in the
future.
Our
compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC rules concerning internal
controls may be time consuming, difficult and costly.
It
may be
time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the
internal controls and reporting procedures required by Sarbanes-Oxley. We may
need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance
staff in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and
reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley’s internal
controls requirements, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant
certifications that Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires publicly-traded companies to
obtain.
There
is not now, and there may not ever be, an active market for our common
stock.
There
currently is no market for our common stock. Further, although our common stock
may be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, trading of our common stock may be
extremely sporadic. For example, several days may pass before any shares may
be
traded. There can be no assurance that a more active market for the common
stock
will develop.
We
cannot assure you that the common stock will become liquid or that it will
be
listed on a securities exchange.
We
plan
to list our common stock on the American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Capital
Market as soon as practicable. However, we cannot assure you that we will be
able to meet the initial listing standards of either of those or of any other
stock exchange, or that it will be able to maintain any such listing. Until
the
common stock is listed on an exchange, we expect that it would be eligible
to be
quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, another over-the-counter quotation system,
or
in the “pink sheets.” In those venues, however, an investor may find it
difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of the common
stock. In addition, if we failed to meet the criteria set forth in SEC
regulations, various requirements would be imposed by law on broker-dealers
who
sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited
investors. Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from
recommending or selling the common stock, which may further affect its
liquidity. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional
capital.
27
There
may be issuances of shares of preferred stock in the
future.
Although
we currently do not have preferred shares outstanding, the board of directors
could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant
holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive
dividends before dividends would be declared to common stockholders, and the
right to the redemption of such shares, possibly together with a premium, prior
to the redemption of the common stock. To the extent that we do issue preferred
stock, the rights of holders of common stock could be impaired thereby,
including without limitation, with respect to liquidation.
We
have never paid dividends.
We
have
never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying
any
for the foreseeable future.
Our
common stock is considered a “penny stock.”
The
SEC
has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity
security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to
specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock is less than $5.00
per
share and therefore is a “penny stock.” Broker and dealers effecting
transactions in “penny stock” must disclose certain information concerning the
transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that
the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. These rules
may
restrict the ability of brokers or dealers to sell our common stock and may
affect your ability to sell shares. In addition, if our common stock is quoted
on the OTC Bulletin Board as anticipated, investors may find it difficult to
obtain accurate quotations of the stock, and may find few buyers to purchase
such stock and few market makers to support its price.
Risks
relating to doing business in China
Substantially
all of our business assets are located in China, and substantially all of our
sales is derived from China. Accordingly, our results of operations, financial
position and prospects are subject to a significant degree to the economic,
political and legal development in China.
We
derive a substantial portion of ours sales from China
Substantially
all of our sales are generated from China. We anticipated that sales of our
products in China will continue to represent a substantial proportion of our
total sales in the near future. Any significant decline in the condition of
the
PRC economy could adversely affect consumer buying power and reduce consumption
of our products, among other things, which in turn would have a material adverse
effect on our business and financial condition.
28
Our
inability to diversify our operations may subject us to economic fluctuations
within our industry.
Our
limited financial resources reduce the likelihood that we will be able to
diversify our operations. Our probable inability to diversify our activities
into more than one business area will subject us to economic fluctuations within
the bottled water industry and therefore increase the risks associated with
our
operations.
Our
ability to implement our planned development is dependent on many factors,
including the ability to receive various governmental
permits.
In
accordance with PRC laws and regulations, we are required to maintain various
licenses and permits in order to operate our business at each of our production
facilities including, without limitation, hygiene permits and industrial
products production permits. We are required to comply with applicable hygiene
and food safety standards in relation to our production processes. Failure
to
pass these inspections, or the loss of or suspend some or all of our production
activities, could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our
business.
The
Company faces the risk that changes in the policies of the Chinese government
could have a significant impact upon our ability to sustain our growth and
expansion strategies.
Since
1978, the PRC government has promulgated various reforms of its economic system
and government structure. These reforms have resulted in significant economic
growth and social progress for China in the last two decades. Many of the
reforms are unprecedented or experimental, and such reforms are expected to
be
modified from time to time. Although we can not predict whether changes in
China’s political, economic and social conditions, laws, regulations and
policies will have any materially adverse effect on our current or future
business, results of operation or financial condition.
Our
ability to continue to expand our business is dependent on a number of factors,
including general economic and capital market conditions in China and credit
availability from banks and other lenders in China. Recently, the PRC government
has implemented various measures to control the rate of economic growth and
tighten its monetary policies. Slower economic growth rate may in turn have
an
adverse effect on our ability to sustain the growth rate we have historically
achieved due to the aggregate market demand for consumer goods like bottled
water.
Failure
to comply with the State
Administration of Foreign Exchange regulations relating to the establishment
of
offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may adversely affect our
business operations.
On
October 21, 2005, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange issued a new
public notice which became effective on November 1, 2005. The notice requires
PRC residents to register with the local State Administration of Foreign
Exchange branch before establishing or controlling any company, referred to
in
the notice as a “special purpose offshore company”, outside of China for the
purpose of capital financing. PRC residents who are shareholders of a special
purpose offshore company established before November 1, 2005 were required
to
register with the local State Administration of Foreign Exchange Branch. Our
beneficial owners need to comply with the relevant the State Administration
of
Foreign Exchange requirements in all material respects in connection with our
investments and financing activities. If such beneficial owners fail to comply
with the relevant the State Administration of Foreign Exchange requirements,
such failure may subject the beneficial owners to fines and legal sanctions
and
may also adversely affect our business operations.
29
The
outbreak of any severe contagious diseases in China, if uncontrolled, could
adversely affect our results of operations.
The
outbreak of any server communicable disease in China, if uncontrolled, could
adversely affect the overall business sentiments and environment in China,
which
in turn may lead to slower overall gross domestic product growth in China.
As
our sales are currently derived from our Chinese operations, any contraction
or
slow down in the growth of the gross domestic product of China may adversely
affect our financial condition, results of operations and future growth. In
addition, if any of our employees are infected or affected by any severe
communicable diseases outbreak, it could adversely affect or disrupt our
production at the relevant production facility and adversely affect our business
operations as we may be required to close our production facilities to prevent
the spread of the disease. The spread of any severe communicable disease in
China may also affect the operations of our distributors and suppliers, causing
delivery disruptions which could in turn adversely affect our operating results
and share price.

March
10, 2008, the Company entered into and completed a Share Exchange Agreement

common stock issued and outstanding upon completion of the Share Exchange
