NOTE 2 – PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
 
The unaudited interim financial statements of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries (see Note 1) for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 have been prepared pursuant to the rules & regulations of the SEC. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the following disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The functional currency for the majority of the Company’s operations is the Renminbi (“RMB”), while the reporting currency is the US Dollar.
 
 

 
 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2009, the results of its operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and cash flows for the six months ended June30, 2009 and 2008.
 
 

 
 
The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year period.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
(a)  
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.
 
(b)  
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.
 
(c)  
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: 
 
i)  
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
ii)  
Delivery has occurred,
iii)  
The seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and
iv)  
Collectability is reasonably assured.
 
(d)  
Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share are 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 June 30, 2009 and 2008, there were no dilutive securities outstanding.
 
(e)  
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company values its financial instruments as required by SFAS No. 157, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company, using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange. 
 
As of June 30, 2009, the Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other deposits and prepayments, accounts payable, short-term bank loans, other payables and accruals, taxes payable, and amount due to a related party.  The estimated fair values of the financial instruments as of the balance sheet date were not materially different from their carrying values as presented, due to the short maturities of these instruments and the fact that the interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profiles at respective period/year ends.
 
(f)  
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (US$). The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB). Capital accounts of the condensed consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate of the year.  The translation rates are as follows:
 
   
June 30, 2009
 
December 31, 2008
 
June 30, 2008
Year end RMB : US$ exchange rate
 
0.1464
 
0.1458
 
0.1459
Average yearly RMB : US$ exchange rate
 
0.1464
 
0.1446
 
0.1417

On July 21, 2005, the PRC changed its foreign currency exchange policy from a fixed RMB/US$ exchange rate into a flexible rate under the control of the PRC’s government.
 
The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange 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.
 
(g)  
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
 
Below is a listing of the most recent accounting standards and their effect on the Company.
 
 

 
 
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160; Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, and amendment of ARB 51, which changes the accounting and reporting for minority interest.  Minority interest will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interest and will be reported as component of equity separate from the parent's equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in change in control will be accounted for as equity transactions.  In addition, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the date of the income statement and, upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings.  SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009 and will apply prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which will apply retrospectively. The Company has not had any material effect on its results of operations or financial condition, due to the adoption of SFAS No. 160.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations, which replaces SFAS No. 141. The statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling interest; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The provisions of SFAS No. 141R are effective for the Company for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after April 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 141R will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements unless acquisitions are made.
 
 

 
 
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). The intent of FSP FAS 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other applicable accounting literature. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The Company’s adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 has not had an impact on its results of operations or financial condition.
 
 

 
 
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”), which addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method described in SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective retrospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 has had no material impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
 
 

 
 
In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active (“FSP 157-3”), to clarify the application of the provisions of SFAS 157 in an inactive market and how an entity would determine fair value in an inactive market. FSP 157-3 was effective upon issuance and applies to the Company’s current financial statements. The application of the provisions of FSP 157-3 did not materially affect the Company’s results of operations or financial condition for the period ended March 31, 2009.
 
 

 
 
In June 2008, the FASB issued EITF No. 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock, effective for financial statements issued for fiscal periods and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. EITF No.07-5 provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The adoption of EITF No. 07-5 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
 

 
 
In considering all recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, EITF, AICPA or SEC, the Company does not expect that the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.

Future Accounting Pronouncements
 
 

 
 
Below is a listing of the most future accounting standards and their effect on the Company.
 
 

 
 
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets. FSP SFAS 132(R)-1 requires an employer to provide certain disclosures about the assets held by its defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The required disclosures include the investment policies and strategies of the plans, the fair value of the major categories of plan assets, the inputs and valuation techniques used to develop fair value measurements and a description of significant concentrations of risk in plan assets. FSP SFAS 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP SFAS 132(R)-1 to have a material impact on its Financial Statements.
 
 

 
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. Under FSP SFAS No. 157-4, transactions or quoted prices may not accurately reflect fair value if an entity determines that there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or the liability in relation to the normal market activity for the asset or liability (or similar assets or liabilities). In addition, if there is evidence that the transaction for the asset or liability is not orderly; the entity shall place little, if any weight on that transaction price as an indicator of fair value. FSP SFAS No. 157-4 is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009 subject to the early adoption of FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2. The Company did not elect to early adopt FSP SFAS No. 157-4; however, it does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its Financial Statements.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS 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.
 
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.

Revenues

Revenue represents sales of PET CSD bottles and PET CSD preforms.  Revenue recorded approximately $8.95 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $8.64 million the same period last year. The slight increase in sales of PET CSD bottles was mainly due to the increase in demand of PET bottles in Nanjing from Coca-Cola, our major customer. 
 
Gross margin
 
Gross profit for both the second quarter 2009 and 2008 was approximately $2.05 million.  However, the gross profit margin dropped  to 20% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from 24% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The decrease in gross profit margin was due to the change of product mix as mentioned previously and the percentage of sales of low-profit margin PET CSD preforms trading increased .

Sales and marketing expenses were maintained at $11,579 in the second quarter 2009 as compared to $11,218 in the same period 2008. We implemented cost control measures on our sales team’s travelling and entertainment expenses in the year of 2008, which we will continue to monitor in 2009.
 
General and administrative
 
General and administrative expenses increased from $449,493 in the second quarter of 2008 to $661,700 for the same period 2009, representing an increase of 47%. The increase was mainly due to accruing certified officers’ salary and benefits as well as relevant accountancy and auditing fees for US filings in 2009 and 2008.

Bank interest expenses
 
Bank interest decreased by $70,890 or 38% from $188,398 for the second quarter of 2008 to $117,508 for the same period 2009. The decrease was mainly due to  the decrease of the average balance of notes payables (as per Note 8)
 
Other interest expenses
 
Other interest decreased by $49,467 or 49% from $100,588 for the second quarter of 2008 to $51,121for the same period 2009. The decrease was mainly due to  the decrease of the average balance due to related party.
 
Net income attributable to the Company
 
Net income for the second quarter was $989,740 as compared to $1,173,583 in the same period 2008. The decrease was mainly attributable to the accrued certified officers’ salary and benefits as well as US filing professional fees in 2009 and 2008.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
 Cash
 
Our cash balance at June 30, 2009 was $84,526, representing a decrease of $99,641 or 54%, compared with our cash balance of $184,167 as at June 30, 2008. The decrease in cash balance is a result of additional professional fees related to our securities filings.
 
Cash flow
 
Operating Activities
 
Net cash inflows from operating activities during the three months ended June 30, 2009 amounted to $1,673,635, representing an increase in inflow of $611,087 compared with net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,062,548 in the same period of 2008. The increase in cash inflow was primarily due to  deferred payments to suppliers during the period ended June 30, 2009.
 
Investing Activities
 
Net cash outflow from investing activities increased from $128,660 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $1,612,077 for the same period of 2009, representing a increase of 1153%. The significant increase in net cash outflows from investing activities was mainly attributable to payments made for purchases of new injection machines in Nanjing production lines.
 
Financing Activities
 
Net cash flow used in financing activities was $185,788 for the first half year of 2009, representing a decrease of $1,186,377 over the net cash inflow of $1,372,165 recorded in the same period of 2008. The change was due to advances from related companies in respect of purchasing new injection machine in Nanjing production lines and the decrease in our loan drawn down and increase in pledged deposits required by bank detailed in NOTE 5 of our financial statements for period ended June 30, 2009.
 
 Working capital
 
Our working capital increased by $602,559 to $1,122,816 at June 30, 2009 from $520,257 at June 30, 2008, primarily due to the increase in normal deferred payments to suppliers and distributors , increase in capital expenditure paid on behalf of a related company and repayment of bank short term loans in the first quarter of 2009. 
 
We currently generate our cash flow through production and sales of PET CSD bottles and PET CSD preforms 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 June 30, 2009, 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
 
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 June 30, 2009 were denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”), the currency of China, and were converted into US dollars at the exchange rate of 6.835 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 six months ended June 30, 2009, 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.
 
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:
 
1.  
The Company's business is characterized by service to two (2) clients 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 CSD (carbonated soft drink) market, operating in the PRE (Peoples Republic of China), uncertain profitability and the ability to raise additional capital for expansion.
 
2.  
Approximately 100% of the Company's revenue is derived from the PRC (Peoples Republic of 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 are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed, is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely manner. 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) as of the end of the period covered by the filing of this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. 
 
Changes in internal controls were addressed at a formal meeting of the Company’s executive officers that was held on June 12, 2009 at its corporate offices in Hong Kong.  At this meeting internal controls were evaluated and changes were addressed for implementation.  
 
 
It was previously reported that there were insufficient accounting personnel with a lack of the appropriate accounting knowledge, experience and training in the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States that would be commensurate with financial reporting requirements.
 

To address this issue management instituted a new policy whereby the accountants employed by the company would provide additional training to the employees directly responsible for providing the information as well as assembling the data in the proper format for GAAP financials.  In addition, management has decided to seek new software to facilitate the handling of all financial data as well as the accumulation of the data in a format more user friendly to the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

For expenditures the company must obtain three (3) quotes and a determination of which vendor is to be made by using different criteria.  Price, quality of product and availability are used in the decision.  Ultimately the plant manager has the final decision in which product is ordered.

Expenditures that were approved by a purchase order are paid by submitting them to the finance department at the plant.  The finance manager reviews the invoice to be paid.  The finance manager then re-confirms with the individual who placed the order that the invoice is valid.  The invoice is then passed to the cashier for payment.  The cashier sends the invoices to the corporate office in Hong Kong for review by the CEO for payment.

For an incoming order the production manager compares the order with the product in stock to determine when the order can be fulfilled.  Our inventory is kept by daily reporting by each plant.  The report is sent to each accountant within the company as well as the CFO and CEO of the company for review prior to payment.

Since the two (2) clients of the company are Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola accounts receivable are not an issue.  Our contracts are set up on a forty-day pay cycle with Coca-cola and forty-five day cycle with Pepsi-cola.
 
 

 
 
18

 
 
Management has begun to convene meetings among its top executives to address budgeting issues.  Since the company was private for over fourteen years budgeting was never formally addressed.  The Company has recently begun to utilize an outside financial team to assist in the preparation of the proper budget forecasts.
 

 
Changes in internal controls
 
Our Certifying Officers have indicated that there were 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 such control actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. 
 
Sarbanes – Oxley Act 404 compliance
 
At a Board of Directors meeting held on the 30th day of June, 2009 the Board of Directors of the Company determined that it needed to establish an audit committee prior to the year end 2009 with a view to complying 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 comply 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.

ITEM 1ARISK 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 the corporate level and at the production and operational levels 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 expansion of any business, as well as those risks that are specific to the PET CSD and perform manufacturing 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 increased revenue or profit, or that investors will not lose their entire investment
 
Supplying PET CSD bottles and PET CSD preforms to beverage and service companies constitutes a major portion of our revenue. Any delays in production or delivery may affect our sales, damage our long-term relationship with our clients, and even incur penalties under our contracts.
 
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 fail to deliver the products to those companies on time, we may run into a risk of damaging our long-term relationship with those clients. Since we rely on these two (2) major clients for virtually all of our revenue our contracts have clauses that provide for possible penalties in the event we do not deliver our product in a timely manner.
 
Our results of operations do 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 throughout the entire year in some inland cities. In general, we believe our sales will normally 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.
 
Increases in raw material prices that we are not able to pass on to our customers would reduce our profit margins.
 
The principal raw materials we use in our production are 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. We may be unable to increase the prices of our final products to offset these increased costs to our two (2) major customers for instance, Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola, and therefore may suffer a reduction to our profit margins. We do not currently hedge against changes in our raw material prices.  While we currently have the ability to purchase our PET raw materials directly from our two (2) major clients the price of the raw materials may still increase based on their cost of the raw materials.
 
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 our customers. 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 customers as well as end 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 customer 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. 
 
 
 
20

 
 
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 our operations will fail to comply with such laws or regulations. There can also be no assurance that the PRC government will not change the existing 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.
 
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.  Since we operate in both the PRC and Hong Kong it will be difficult to find the qualified personnel we will need to support our planned expansion.  The inability to find qualified personnel may lead to our having less efficient operations thereby increasing our costs and reducing our profits.
 
We rely on key executive officers and their knowledge of our business and their business and technical expertise would be difficult to replace.
 
We were founded in 1994 by Mr. Chung A Tsan Guy. Since then, Mr. Stetson Chung, the son of Mr. Chung A Tsan 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 people 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. 
 
This control may cause management to make decisions that may be in direct conflict with the minority shareholders and these decisions may not be in the best interests of the minority shareholders.
 
Because our assets and operations are located outside the United States and our officers and directors are 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 company. United States laws and/or judgments might not be enforced against us in foreign jurisdictions.
 
All of our operations are conducted through subsidiary corporations organized and located outside of the United States, and all the assets of our subsidiaries are located outside the United States. In addition, all of our officers and directors are U.S. citizens living abroad. 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 subsidiaries are incorporated or where the assets of our subsidiaries 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.
 
 
 
21

 
 
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.
 
There is a limited market for our stock, and there may not ever be an active market for our common stock.
 
While our common stock is quoted on the OTCBB under the symbol GEBD.OB there currently is no active market for our common stock. Further, although our common stock may be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, trading of our common stock has been extremely sporadic. For example, several days or weeks 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 continue to 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 we will be able to maintain any such listing. Until the common stock is listed on another exchange, we expect that it will continue to 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.
 
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 are derived in 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 anticipate 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 the purchase of our product by our two (2) major clients and ultimately the consumption of our products by consumers which in turn would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
 
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 inability to diversify our activities into more than one business area will subject us to economic fluctuations within the PET CSD and perform manufacturing  industry and therefore increase the risks associated with having only one type of operation to generate revenue. 
 
 
 
22

 
 
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 operations and implement any 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. We cannot 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 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 achieved due to the aggregate market demand for PET CSD and perform products. 
 
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.
 
Our production operations and capacity are likely to be adversely affected by natural disasters such as the earthquake in Xi’an that occurred in the middle of 2008.
 
Natural disasters in China occur regularly. Any natural disaster in an area in which we have a production facility could have an adverse impact on our business. An earthquake occurred in Xi’an, China in the middle of 2008. The earthquake could have adversely affected GEBD production operations and capacity. It is likely to take time to recover GEBD’s production operations and capacity.
