NOTE 2 – REORGANIZATION


On December 30, 2009, the Company reorganized by transferring effectively 60% of its equity interests in its three operating subsidiaries (as owned through GEPI) to Great East Packaging Holdings Limited (“GEPH”), in return for effectively a 33.6% equity ownership interest in three other operating entities previously owned by GEPH. The Company and GEPH are affiliated through majority common ownership by Mr. Guy A-Tsan Chung.


This reorganization was accounted for as a transfer of entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the condensed financial statements of the commonly controlled entities have been combined retrospectively, as if the transaction had occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented.


NOTE 3 – PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION


The unaudited interim financial statements of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries (see Note 1) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 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 only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2010, the results of its operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.


The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year period.


On December 30, 2009, the Company reorganized by transferring effectively 60% of its equity interests in its three operating subsidiaries (as owned through GEPI) to GEPH, in return for effectively a 33.6% equity ownership interest in three other operating entities previously owned by GEPH. The Company and GEPH are affiliated through majority common ownership by Mr. Guy A-Tsan Chung.


Despite a lesser percentage of ownership, in view of the management, GEPI and entities owned by GEPI are consolidated as subsidiaries in accordance with FAS 167 and ASC 810 due to the following facts:


-

The Company possesses controlling power through voting rights to direct the activities of these entities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance;

-

The Company has obligations to absorb losses of these entities, if any; and

-

The majority ownership of these entities is held by GEPH, an affiliated company.


All assets transferred between entities under common control are accounted for at historical cost similar to a pooling of interest.


NOTE 4 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


(a)

Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of nine months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Company maintains bank accounts in Hong Kong and China.


(b)

Restricted cash


As of the balance sheet dates, restricted cash consisted of cash pledged as deposits for bankers’ notes facilities.



7





(c)

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.  There was no provision for slow moving inventories for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.


(d)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other receivables, tax recoverable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other payables, note payables, taxes payable and amount due to a related party.


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 the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments 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 year ends.


(e)

Revenue Recognition


The Company recognized trading revenue when products are delivered and customers take ownership and assume risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and selling price is fixed or determinable.


(f)

Earnings 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 the balance sheet dates, there were no dilutive securities outstanding.


(g)

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 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 balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate of the year.  The translation rates are as follows:


 

 

September 30,

2010

 

December 31,

2009

 

September 30,

2009

                  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Period/year end RMB : US$ exchange rate

 

0.1494

 

0.1468

 

0.1467

Average yearly RMB : US$ exchange rate            

 

0.1469

 

0.1464

 

0.1461

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


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.




8




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.

In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard related to disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. The standard requires greater transparency about an entity’s financing receivables, which include loans, long-term receivables, lease receivables, and other long-term receivables. We are required to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2011 and do not expect this accounting standard to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

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


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-Q 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-K to “we”, “us”, “our”, “the Registrant”, “our Company” or “the Company” are to Great East Bottles & 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:



17





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.

We currently generate our cash flow through production and sales of PET bottles and PET performs and bottle OEM water in China.

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 twelve months ended September 30, 2010 were denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”), the currency of China, and were converted into US dollars at the exchange rate of 6.807 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


This item is not applicable as we are currently considered a smaller reporting company.

 

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and our Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009. Based on that evaluation and as described below under “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”, we have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result of this material weakness and as a result of our failure to identify this material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as a material weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2009.

 



21




Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f).  Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In connection with management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we identified the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009:

 

1.

Insufficient accounting personnel with the appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training in the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States commensurate with financial statement reporting requirements.

 

As a result, we have concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective as of December 31, 2009.

 

Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control


All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurances with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, any evaluation of effectiveness for future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in the future.


This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

To remediate the material weakness surrounding this, we have performed and are continuing to perform, among others, the following actions:

·

additional training of our accounting personnel by our independent accountants of the proper format and compilation of data for US GAAP financial statements:

·

implementation of new software to facilitate the handling of all financial data as well as the accumulation of data in a format more user friendly to the preparation of US GAAP financial statements; and

·

additional coordination with our local accountants and auditors to strengthen our controls in an attempt to supplement the additional training of our employees


The Company has begun to convene meetings among its top executives to address budgeting issues.  As a private company for over fourteen years, the budgeting process was never formalized.  We have recently begun to utilize an independent third party to assist in the preparation of formal budget forecasts



22




 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

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.  We have performed, among others, the following actions:


·

additional training of our accounting personnel by our independent accountants of the proper format and compilation of data for US GAAP financial statements;

·

implementation of new software to facilitate the handling of all financial data as well as the accumulation of data in a format more user friendly to the preparation of US GAAP financial statements; and

·

additional coordination with our local accountants and auditors to strengthen our controls in an attempt to supplement the additional training of our employees.
