Explanatory Note
 
China Water and Drinks Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q/A”) to restate its consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as described in Note 14 – Restatement, of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2008, included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2008, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 22, 2008 (the “Original Form 10-Q”), the Company determined that there were errors made in accounting for certain transactions in its consolidated financial statements. The Company’s financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are being restated to correct these errors summarized as follows:

 
·
To record a beneficial conversion feature related to the Company’s sales of its Notes in January 2008. As previously disclosed in the Original Form 10-Q, the Company sold an aggregate amount of $50 million of its 5% secured convertible notes to a group of investors in January 2008. The Notes are convertible at $4.25 per share. At the time of the Notes transaction, the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock was $17.25 per share on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”).  The Company did not record a beneficial conversion at the time of the Notes transaction believing that the quoted market price did not reflect fair value in light of, among other factors, the illiquidity of and small public float for its common stock. However, as a result of the Company’s determination that the quoted market price represented the best evidence of the fair value of its common stock, the Company determined that the Notes issuance included a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, the Company has restated its financial statements to record the beneficial conversion feature as a discount to the related debt and an addition to additional paid-in capital;

 
·
To reflect a change in the valuation of the shares issued in connection with the Company’s investment in China Bottles Inc. (formerly Hutton Holdings Corporation) (“China Bottle”). As previously disclosed in the Original Form 10-Q, on August 31, 2007, the Company acquired 48% of China Bottles in exchange for $9 million in cash and 2,133,333 shares of its common stock. The Company originally recorded the share issuance at the quoted market price of $7.70 per share on the date of the transaction.  However, in May 2008, the Company determined that the fair value for its shares was $3.50 at the time of issuance, the same value it used for the relatively concurrent Pilpol transaction. Subsequently, the Company determined that the quoted market price is the best evidence of the fair value of its common stock issued in connection with the investment;

 
·
To reflect a change in the valuation of the Company’s shares issued in connection with its acquisition of Pilpol (HK) Biological Limited (“Pilpol”). As previously disclosed in the Original Form 10-Q, in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Pilpol in 2007, the portion of the acquisition consideration consisted of the Company’s common stock was fixed at 1,523,578 shares. The Company originally valued the 1,523,578 shares of its common stock issued in the Pilpol acquisition at $3.50 due to, among other factors, the illiquidity of and small public float for its common stock. Subsequently, the Company determined that the quoted market price of $8.00 is the appropriate valuation measurement under relevant accounting standards. As a result, the Company has reclassified the monetary value of these shares, which was $12,188,624, to stockholders’ equity, in its financial statements; and

 
·
To record a compensation charge relating to Xu Hong Bin’s obligations under the make good escrow agreement with certain investors that was entered into in connection with the Company’s May 2007 equity financing transaction. In connection with the Company’s May 2007 equity financing transaction, Mr. Xu entered into a make good escrow agreement with certain investors whereby Mr. Xu agreed to transfer 11.2 million shares of common stock owned by him to the investors in the event that the Company did not meet certain performance targets for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and another 11.2 million shares of common stock owned by him to the investors in the event that the Company does not meet certain performance targets for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. Subsequently, the Company determined that the agreement to release the shares from escrow upon the achievement of the performance targets should be presumed to be a separate compensatory arrangement between the Company and Mr. Xu. The performance targets for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 were met. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value of the shares at the time the make good escrow agreement became effective, $56 million, was charged to income as stock-based compensation during the year ended December 31, 2007. For the first fiscal quarter of 2008, the Company accrued $14 million of compensation expense through March 31, 2008 as the Company believes it is probable that the performance target will be achieved for fiscal year 2008. As a result, the Company has restated its March 31, 2008 financial statements to account for this compensation charge.

CHINA WATER AND DRINKS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Three months ended March 31, 2008
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
 
NOTE 1 - Organization and Description of Business Basis of Presentation, Restatement and Reverse Merger
 
Organization and Description of Business

China Water and Drinks Inc. and subsidiaries (formerly “UGODS, Inc.”) (the “Company”), a Nevada Corporation, is engaged in the manufacture of bottled water products and operates bottled water production plants in five provinces in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”) - Guangdong, Jilin, Shandong, Guangxi and Liaoning. The Company produces and markets bottled water products under the brand name “Darcunk” to distributors throughout China, and supplies bottled water products to beverage and servicing companies in the industry. The Company operates in one reportable segment in China.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements as of March 31, 2008 and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, have been prepared by the Company without audit. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the SEC on September 29, 2008. Amounts as of December 31, 2007 are derived from these audited consolidated financial statements.
 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2008, its results of operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
 
Reverse Merger

Effective May 30, 2007, Gain Dynasty Investments Limited (“Gain Dynasty”), a China Corporation, completed a reverse merger transaction (the “Acquisition”) with UGODS, Inc., a public shell into which Gain Dynasty merged and pursuant to which UGODS, Inc. acquired all the outstanding common stock of Gain Dynasty from Mr. Xu Hong Bin for 59,872,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. For accounting purposes, Gain Dynasty is considered the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the reverse merger was accounted for as a recapitalization of Gain Dynasty and the assets and liabilities of the Company have been recorded using Gain Dynasty’s historical values, and the shareholders of Gain Dynasty received approximately 86% of the post-acquisition common stock of UGODS, Inc. In addition, the historical shareholders equity of Gain Dynasty prior to the Acquisition has been retroactively restated (recapitalization) for the equivalent number of shares received in the Acquisition. The restated consolidated retained earnings of Gain Dynasty have been carried forward after the Acquisition.

Equity method investments 

Investee entities in which the Company can exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of these companies is included in the equity income (loss) section of the consolidated statements of operations.

A loss in value of an investment that is other than a temporary decline is recognized as a charge to operations. Evidence of a loss in value might include, but would not necessarily be limited to, absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment.
 
The Company holds a 48% equity investment in China Bottles.
 
Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to current year presentation.
         
Economic and Political Risk

The Company’s business operations are conducted in the PRC and are subject to special considerations and risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. China’s political, economic and legal environments may influence the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, including adverse effects by changes in governmental policies in laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, and rates and methods of taxation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal year 2007 filed with SEC on September 29, 2008 for the estimates.
 
Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company’s wholly-owned PRC subsidiaries is the Chinese Renminbi Yuan, (“RMB”). RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. The functional currency of the Company’s BVI and Hong Kong subsidiaries is the Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”). The Company’s PRC, BVI and Hong Kong subsidiaries’ financial statements are maintained in their functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods. 

The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are translated into United States Dollars (“USD”) using year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities and rates of exchange that approximate the rates in effect at the transaction date for revenues, expenses, gains and losses. Amounts classified in stockholders’ equity are translated at historical exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are not included in determining net income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders’ equity.

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the expected uncollectibility of trade receivables based on the Company’s historical experience and the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company. Accounts with outstanding balances longer than the payment terms are considered past due. The Company writes off trade receivables when they become uncollectible and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited against the provision for bad debts.
 
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 USD at the rates used in translation.

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 China and Hong Kong, with significant balances maintained in RMB. Balances at financial institutions or PRC state-owned banks are not covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any historical losses in such accounts and believes that the risk of any loss is minimal.
 
Inventories, net
 
Inventories consist of raw materials to produce plastic bottles, caps and labels and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a weighted-average cost method. Finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor and a portion of overhead. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Property, Plant and Equipment, net 
 
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Additions and major replacements or betterments are added to the assets at cost. Maintenance and repair costs and minor replacements are charged to expense when incurred. When assets are replaced or otherwise disposed, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the gains or losses, if any, are reflected in the statement of operations. Gains or losses on the disposal of such assets are included in the statements of operations.

Depreciation is computed using the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings
20-25 years
Motor vehicles
5-10 years
Office equipment
5-10 years
Machinery and equipment
3-15 years

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, net

The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142,“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” . SFAS No.142 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business acquisitions. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill may be in doubt. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. The Company operates one reporting unit. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions or the occurrence of one or more confirming events in future periods could cause the actual results or outcomes to materially differ from such estimates and could also affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment at future reporting dates. The Company performs its impairment test annually during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. Management believes that there was no impairment of goodwill as of March 31, 2008.
 
The Company’s amortizable intangible assets include customer relationships acquired in business acquisitions. These costs are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of seven years.

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 144,“Long-Lived Assets”, the Company reviews the carrying value of intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of their carrying amounts to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. 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 property, if any, exceeds its fair market value. The Company determined that there was no impairment of long-lived assets as of March 31, 2008.

Retirement Benefits

PRC regulations mandate companies to contribute funds into the national retirement system managed by the government, which benefits qualified employees based on where they were born within the country. The Company records any required contribution as payroll tax expense. Very few of the Company’s employees qualify under the national retirement system. The Company provides no other retirement benefits to its employees.

Revenue Recognition
 
Revenues are recognized when finished products are delivered to customers and both title and the risks and benefits of ownership are transferred, price is fixed and determinable, collection is reasonably assured.
 
Seasonality

Our sales are subject to seasonality factors. 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 be higher in the second and third quarters of the year when the weather is hot and dry, and lower in the first and fourth quarters 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.
 
Taxes Collected From Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities

Revenues are recorded net of taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.

Shipping and Handling Costs
 
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-10,“Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs,” shipping and handling costs incurred in bringing finished products or raw materials to our warehouse are capitalized as part of inventory and relieved in cost of sales when a sale occurs. The Company does not bill customers for shipping and handling costs. Shipping and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from the Company’s warehouse to the customer locations are reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Earnings Per Share
 
At March 31, 2008, the Company’s dilutive securities include warrants exercisable for common stock, contingently issuable common stock and as-if conversion of convertible bond.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires that fair values be disclosed for the Company's financial instruments. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, customer deposits and other payables approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s long-term debt, secured by various properties, bears interest at rates commensurate with market rates and therefore management believes carrying values approximate fair values. It is currently not practicable to estimate the fair value of 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. The fair value of amounts due from and to related parties is not practicable to estimate due to the related party nature of the underlying transactions.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities. For all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, SFAS 157 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. As it relates to the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, the adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company is still in the process of evaluating the impact that SFAS 157 will have its nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (“fair value option”). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, SFAS 159 specifies that unrealized gains and losses for that instrument be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 was effective for us on January 1, 2008. The Company did not apply the fair value option to any of our outstanding instruments and, therefore, SFAS 159 did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6 -Investment in Equity Investee (as restated, Note 14)

On August 31, 2007, the Company purchased an aggregate of 11,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, and 5,000,000 shares of convertible preferred stock of China Bottles. The total consideration paid for the China Bottles investment was $25,427 consisting of $9,000 in cash and 2,133,333 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $7.70 per share, the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on August 31, 2007.

The Company considered the requirements of EITF No. 02-14, “Whether an Investor Should Apply the Equity Method of Accounting to Investments Other Than Common Stock” in the determination of the impact of the 5,000,000 shares of convertible preferred stock on its ownership of China Bottles. EITF No. 02-14 defines “in-substance” common stock as an investment where one has the risk and reward characteristics that are substantially similar to the investee’s common stock. The Company concluded that the convertible preferred stock is “in-substance” common stock, and accordingly the Company has recorded a 48% ownership in the equity of China Bottles using the equity method of accounting. Each share of convertible preferred stock is automatically converted into five shares of China Bottles common stock on the second business day following the effectiveness of an amendment to China Bottles’ Articles of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock of China Bottles from 50,000,000 to 175,000,000. This occurred on April 3, 2008.

Through three wholly owned Chinese subsidiaries, China Bottles engages in the manufacture of beverage bottle production equipment as well as the provision of molds and bottle production services for various customers in China.

Based on its available recent quoted market price from May 19, 2008 of $6.00 per share, the aggregate value of the company’s investment in China Bottles is approximately $216,000. The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities of China Bottles as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively:

NOTE 7 - Acquisitions

Pilpol acquisition (as restated, Note 14)

On June 15, 2007, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Fine Lake, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Pilpol’s shareholders and acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Pilpol. Pilpol owns and operates Nanning, a PRC bottled water production company located in Nanning, southern PRC. Pursuant to the Agreement, as amended on August 15, 2007, the purchase price for Pilpol was $5,332,522 in cash, as well as 1,523,578 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at 12,188,624. Initially, the shares were to be issued upon the registration of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. On August 15, 2007, the parties agreed to fix the number of shares of common stock to be issued at a future date to 1,523,578 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2008, the registration has not yet occurred and no shares have been issued to Pilpol’s former stockholders.

The Company applied SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (“SFAS 150”), when determining the classification of these stock subscriptions. While these subscriptions provide an obligation to issue a variable number of shares, they are classified as liabilities since a fixed monetary amount is known at inception. As of March 31, 2008, the shares consideration has not yet been issued. Accordingly, the Company has recorded the fixed monetary amount of $12.2 million within stockholder equity at March 31, 2008 as common stock to be issued.

The following table represents the preliminary allocation of the acquisition cost to the net assets acquired based on their respective estimated fair values at the date of acquisition (in thousands). Intangible assets consist of customer-based intangible assets. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocation is subject to refinement.

Other Acquisition Activities

As a part of the Company’s strategy of growth through additional acquisitions, from time to time, the Company may enter into term sheets with companies that may be acquired in the near future. Under conditions of the term sheets, the Company may pay cash upfront to an escrow agent to support the negotiations in good faith. The Company is not obligated to further pursue the acquisitions if certain conditions exist, and is entitled a full refund of the deposit. As of March 31, 2008, the Company has paid deposits related to potential acquisitions of $19,253,000.

Convertible Notes Payable (as restated, Note 14)

On January 24, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2008 Securities Purchase Agreement”), with certain investors, for the purchase and sale of 5% secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate amount of $50,000 (the “Purchase Price”) . The Company received proceeds of $26,000 ($30,000, net of financing costs) during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and the remaining $ 18,000 ($20,000, net of financing costs) was released to the Company on May 13, 2008. The Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the Notes solely for the purpose of acquiring related businesses and the Notes are secured by all of the capital stock owned by the Company in each of its subsidiaries (other than its subsidiaries located in the People’s Republic of China) and China Bottles.

The Notes are due three years from their issue date (the “Maturity Date”), and are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the greater of (a) $3.00, which prices are subject to adjustment pursuant to customary anti-dilution provisions and Volume-Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) adjustments, as described in the Notes, or (b) $4.25. The quoted market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of the transaction was estimated to be $17.25 per share, and accordingly a beneficial conversion feature resulted.

In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios,” and EITF No. 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments,” the Company recognized the advantageous value of conversion rights attached to the convertible debt. Such rights give the debt holder the ability to convert debt into shares of common stock at a price per share that is less than the fair market value (quoted market price) of the common stock on the commitment date. This represents an embedded beneficial conversion feature which is to be valued separately upon issuance of the debt. The beneficial value was calculated based on the intrinsic value (the fair market value of the stock at the commitment date of $17.25 in excess of the conversion rate of $4.25) of the feature and was recorded as a discount to the related debt and an addition to additional paid-in-capital.

In this instance, the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature was greater than the proceeds allocated to the convertible debt, which was $44 million. Pursuant to EITF 98-5, the amount of the discount assigned to the beneficial conversion feature was limited to the amount of proceeds allocated to the convertible debt. The discount is subsequently being amortized to interest expense over the remaining outstanding period of the related debt, which matures in January 2010 using the effective interest method.

Under the 2008 Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company was to pay interest on the unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of the Notes at the rate of 5% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, beginning on March 31, 2008, and on each date that principal is being converted into shares (as to the principal amount being converted) and on the Maturity Date.
 
As security for its obligations under the Notes, upon the closing of the Notes the Company pledged all of the outstanding equity of Gain Dynasty Investments Limited (“Gain Dynasty”) and Fine Lake to Goldman Sachs International, as collateral and security agent for the holders of the Notes (the “Collateral and Security Agent”). In addition, as security for the Notes, Gain Dynasty pledged all of the outstanding equity of Olympic Forward Trading Limited, its Hong Kong subsidiary (“Olympic”) to the Collateral and Security Agent and Fine Lake pledged all of the outstanding equity of Pilpol to the Collateral and Security Agent.

On March 31, 2008, the Company and the Collateral and Security Agent entered into (i) a Deed of Amendment amending the 2008 Securities Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and the Collateral and Security Agent such that at all times no more than 65% of the shares held by the Company in Gain Dynasty shall be charged in favor of the Collateral and Security Agent and (ii) a Deed of Amendment amending the 2008 Securities Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and the Collateral and Security Agent such that at all times no more than 65% of the shares held by the Company in Fine Lake shall be charged in favor of Collateral and Security Agent. As consideration for this reduction in collateral, the Company executed Amendments to each of the outstanding Notes to increase the interest rate payable with respect to the Notes from 5% per annum to 7% per annum.
 
The common stock underlying the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement filed with the SEC or pursuant to an applicable exemption from the relevant registration requirements. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC for the resale of the common stock underlying the convertible notes sold in the private placement. Please refer to Company’s Form 8-K filed on January 31, 2008 for detailed information.

NOTE 10 - Taxes Payable

(a) Corporate Income Taxes (“CIT”)

Under the current laws of the BVI, dividends and capital gains arising from the Company's investments in the BVI through Gain Dynasty Investments Limited and Fine Lake International Limited are not subject to income taxes and no withholding tax is imposed on the payments of dividends by the Company. No Hong Kong corporate income tax has been provided in the financial statements, as the Company did not have any assessable profits for the Hong Kong companies (Olympic Forward Trading Co Ltd and Pilpol (HK) Biological Ltd).

Beginning January 1, 2008, a new Chinese Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) law will replace the existing laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DES”) and Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIEs”). The new standard EIT rate of 25% will replace the 33% rate currently applicable to both DES and FIEs.
 
The income tax payable balances of $1,016,000 and $320,000 as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, have been accrued and reflected as taxes payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

(b) Value Added Tax (“VAT”)

The VAT payable balances of $6,916,000 and $5,762,000 as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, have been accrued and reflected as value added taxes payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

There are no other timing differences between reported book or financial income and income computed for income tax purposes. Therefore, the Company has made no adjustment for deferred tax assets or liabilities.

China Valley Development Limited, Guozhu Holdings Limited, Excellent Fame Investments Ltd and Fogang Guozhu Plastics Co. Ltd. are subsidiaries of China Bottles, Inc. The Company holds 48% of the common and preferred shares of China Bottles. The Company has entered into an informal agreement with China Bottles to provide working capital support in the form of notes payable by China Bottles to the Company. The notes yield interest to the Company at an annual interest rate equal to the market rate and are payable upon demand. The Hong Kong one-month risk-free market rate was approximately 3.5%; financial institutions typically charge 2-3% in addition to the base market rate. Accordingly, the interest rate was set at 6%.

Shenzhen Nanbeixing Trading Limited is a company in which Mr. Xu Hong Bin, the Company’s President and Director, holds a direct and indirect role as its legal representative for local registration purposes. This amount is interest free and due on demand.

Stock Based Compensation (as restated, Note 14)

In May 2007, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors (“the Investors”) and issued 4,447,612 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”) (the “Share Sale”). Gross proceeds to the Company were $30,000,000. Each share of Preferred Stock was convertible into five shares of the Company’s common stock and entitled the holder to the same voting rights as holders of the Company’s common stock on an as converted basis. The Company received $26,358,000, net of offering costs of the Share Sale. In July 2007, all 4,477,612 shares of Preferred Stock were converted into 22,388,060 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
15

 
In connection with the Share Sale, the Investors, the Company, Mr. Xu Hong Bin, a major shareholder of the Company, the Pinnacle Fund, as agent, and Loeb & Loeb LLP, as escrow agent, have entered into a Make Good Escrow Agreement (the “Make Good Escrow Agreement”), whereby Mr. Xu Hong Bin has agreed to transfer 11,194,030 and 11,194,030 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by him to the Investors on a pro rata basis in the event that the Company does not meet certain performance targets for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The performance target for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 was the achievement of after-tax net income of at least $19,000,000. The performance target for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 is the achievement of after-tax net income of at least $30,000,000 and earnings per share of at least $0.30. The Company achieved the target for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The agreement to release the shares from escrow upon the achievement of certain criteria was presumed to be a separate compensatory arrangement between the Company and Mr. Xu Hong Bin. Accordingly, the fair value of the shares at the time they were placed into escrow ($56 million) was charged to income as stock-based compensation during the year ended December 31, 2007. Through March 31, 2008, the Company has accrued an additional $14 million as stock-based compensation as the Company believes it is probable that the performance target will be achieved for fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.
 
NOTE 12 - Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Liabilities

In accordance with the requirements of the PRC’s Environmental Protection Law, the Company has installed required environmental protection equipment, adopted advanced environmental protection technologies, established responsibility systems for environmental protection, and has reported to and registered with the relevant local environmental protection departments. The Company has complied with the relevant regulations and has never paid a fee for the excessive discharge of pollutants. Management believes that there are no unrecorded liabilities in connection with the Company’s compliance with environment laws and regulations.

Litigation

The Company is subject to claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business, the outcome of which cannot be predicted with certainty. The Company is currently not engaged in any claims or litigation matters and management believes that any unknown claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
NOTE 13 - Subsequent event

On May 19, 2008, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Heckmann Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”) and Heckmann Acquisition II Corp., a Delaware corporation and the Parent’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Acquisition Sub”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we will be merged with and into Acquisition Sub (the “Merger”). At the date and time the Merger becomes effective, each share of the Company’s common stock (“Company Common Stock”) will be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.8 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Parent, as such fraction may be adjusted in accordance with the Merger Agreement, and/or (ii) at the election of the holders of
Company Common Stock, an amount in cash equal to US$5.00 per share of Company Common Stock. The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the stockholders of the Parent.

NOTE 14 – Restatements

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements of and for the period ended March 31, 2008, the Company determined that there were errors made in accounting for certain transactions in its December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements. These errors are as follows:

(A) The fair value of the shares of common stock issued to China Bottles as part of the acquisition consideration was estimated to be $3.50 per share. In addition, the fair value of the shares of common stock to be issued to Pilpol as part of the acquisition consideration was also estimated to be $3.50 per share. The quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on the dates of these acquisitions was $7.70 and $8.00 per share, respectively. The initial decrease in the estimated fair value of these shares was primarily due to consideration of the effects on the quoted market price related to price fluctuations, quantities traded, issue costs and the like. However, after further consideration, the Company determined that the quoted market price represented the best evidence of the fair value of its common stock issued in connection with these acquisitions and, as a result, the Company has restated its December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements to use quoted market price in accounting for these acquisitions.

16

 
(B) As a result of the Company’s determination that quoted market price represented the best evidence of the fair value of its common stock, the Company determined that the issuance of convertible notes in January 2008 included a beneficial conversion feature. The fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the convertible note issuance was originally estimated to be $4.25 per share based on the factors outlined in (A) above, which was equal to the conversion price of the notes. However, using quoted market price as fair value (which was $17.25 per share at the date of the issuance) results in a beneficial value attributable to the conversion feature of $44 million, as discussed in more detail in Note 10. As a result, the Company has restated its March 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements to record the beneficial conversion feature as a discount to the related debt and an addition to additional paid-in capital. The discount is being amortized as additional interest expense from the date of the convertible note issuance through the maturity date.

(C) On August 15, 2007, the Company and the former owners of Pilpol agreed to amend the purchase price to fix the number of shares to be issued in the Pilpol acquisition at 1,523,578 shares. As a result, on August 15, 2007, the Company should have reclassified the monetary value of these shares, which was $12,188,624, to stockholders’ equity, pursuant to SFAS No. 150. The Company has restated its December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements to reclassify this amount from acquisition consideration payable to stockholders’ equity.

(D) As discussed in Note 11, pursuant to an escrow agreement entered into in connection with a $30 million preferred stock offering in May 2007, Mr. Xu Hong Bin, the president and a major shareholder of the Company, agreed to transfer 11,194,030 and 1,194,030 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by him to the preferred stock investors on a pro rata basis in the event that the Company does not meet certain performance targets for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The agreement to release the shares from escrow upon the achievement of certain criteria is presumed to be a separate compensatory arrangement between the Company and Mr. Xu Hong Bin. Accordingly, the fair value of the shares at the time they were placed into escrow ($56 million) should have been charged to income as stock-based compensation during the year ended December 31, 2007. In addition, through March 31, 2008, the Company should have accrued an additional $14 million as stock-based compensation as the Company believes it is probable that the performance target will be achieved for fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. As a result, the Company has restated its December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements to account for this escrow agreement as a separate compensatory arrangement between the Company and Mr. Xu Hong Bin.

The adjustments required to correct the errors discussed above resulted in the restatement of the Company’s December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements from amounts previously reported as follows:

Restatement
 
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations gives effect to the restatement as discussed in Note 14, Restatement, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Overview of Our Business

Our corporate name is currently China Water and Drinks Inc. We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 8, 2005 as UGODS, Inc. for the purpose of pursuing mining opportunities in Canada. From our inception until February 2007, we were considered an exploration stage company. During February of 2005 we acquired interests in 14 mining claims registered with the district office in Atlin, B.C. Canada and an additional nine claims were acquired in November 2006. As a result of a series of transactions from February 2007 to August 2007, we changed our ownership and business operations and discontinued pursuit of mining operations. Currently, we operate bottled water production facilities through six operating subsidiaries located in several provinces throughout China.

Our primary market is China where we produce and market our bottled water products primarily under the brand name “Darcunk”, which in Chinese means “Absolutely Pure”. We also supply bottled water products to globally recognized beverage companies, including Coca-Cola and Uni-President, under their own brand names. In addition, we provide private label bottled products to companies in the service industry, such as hotels and casinos. Each of our six production plants has two types of production lines: one type produces bottle-sized (350ml-3.5L) bottled water and the other produces carboy-sized (18.9L) bottled water. We produce a variety of bottled water products including purified water, mineralized water and oxygenated water, and we plan to produce other specialized bottled water products including vitamins and nutrient enriched water and flavored water products in the future.
 
We operate in a large and fast growing industry. The global bottled water market reached a value of $61.0 billion in 2006 and is forecasted to increase by 41.6% to $86.4 billion in 2011 according to a report issued by Datamonitor. Growth in the bottled water industry is particularly high in China, which was the fastest growing consumer of bottled water in the world with a 17.5% compounded annual growth rate from 2002 to 2007, double the next fastest growing country, the United States. The high growth rate is driven by a number of factors, including poor quality of drinking water across China, increasing spending power of China’s growing middle class, increasing health consciousness of Chinese citizens and consolidation in the bottled water industry. In 2007, the State Environment Protection Administration of China estimated that tap water in one-half of China’s major cities was polluted by industrial chemicals and agriculture fertilizers. Moreover, in 2005, a senior official estimated that 360 million people in China did not have safe water supplies. A large amount of wastewater is directly discharged into water bodies, and industrial wastewater treatment has not been completely established, resulting in serious water pollution problems and growing demand for clean, drinkable water. In addition, according to research by McKinsey Global Institute, by 2011 the middle class in China will number more than 350 million people, representing the largest segment in urban China and accounting for more than 50% of the urban population. This group will come with increased spending power and a desire and ability to consume higher-quality, branded products, including bottled water.

Recent Developments 

On May 19, 2008, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Heckmann Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”) and Heckmann Acquisition II Corp., a Delaware corporation and Parent’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Acquisition Sub”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we will be merged with and into Acquisition Sub (the “Merger”). At the date and time the Merger becomes effective (the “Effective Time”), each share of the Company’s common stock (“Company Common Stock”) will be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.8 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”), as such fraction may be adjusted in accordance with the Merger Agreement (the “Exchange Ratio”), and/or (ii) at the election of the holders of Company Common Stock, an amount in cash equal to US$5.00 per share of Company Common Stock. The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. See the Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on May 20, 2008 and September 29, 2008 for additional information on the Merger and a copy of the Merger Agreement and other agreements related to the Merger.
 
During the first fiscal quarter of 2008, we initiated and/or continued acquisition negotiations with several potential targets and businesses and plan to complete these acquisitions in 2008. We believe that these acquisitions will result in significant additional income in 2008 and strengthen of business operations in China. These acquisition negotiations include the following:

l
A bottle water producer and distributor based in Beijing. We expect that the strong growing consumption potential in Beijing will be accretive to our revenue in 2008.

l
A distilled bottle water producer and distributor that has an established brand awareness and well-constructed distribution network in Guangdong province. We believe the consolidation with this producer will further elevate our brand awareness and our own products will benefit from the joined network and platform.
 
l
To expand our market presence, we plan to acquire three bottle producers including one in Changsha, Hunan Province, one in Harbin, Liaoning Province, and one in Yunnan Province which has water source in plant. We expect to gain more market share across China through those horizontal acquisitions and obtain access to more clean water sources.
 
l
An original equipment manufacturer that produces tea drink and juice drink for several well known international beverage companies including Coco-cola and Uni-President. We expect to diversify our produce portfolio by adding advanced processing lines through this acquisition and enter into new emerging drink segments such as tea drink, juice drink, and other health drinks.

Financing Transaction During the First Quarter of 2008
 
On January 24, 2008, we entered into a securities purchase agreement, with certain investors, for the purchase and sale of 5% secured convertible notes for the aggregate purchase price $50,000,000 in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This financing transaction was consummated on January 29, 2008 and 60% of the Purchase Price or $30 million was released from escrow at the closing and the balance was disbursable when we filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The 5% secured convertible notes rank senior to all outstanding and future indebtedness of our company and were secured by all of the capital stock owned directly or indirectly by the our majority stockholder, Mr. Xu, and by the Company in each of its subsidiaries (other than its subsidiaries located in the People's Republic of China) and China bottles, as evidenced by various pledge and share charge agreements executed at the closing of this financing transaction.
 
On March 31, 2008, we executed agreements amending certain terms of the aforementioned note financing transaction. Specifically, the pledge agreements securing repayment of the 5% secured convertible notes were amended to reduce the percentage of the equity pledged from a pledge of the equity we hold in our subsidiaries to a pledge of 65% of the equity interests we hold in our subsidiaries. The interest rate payable on the 5% secured convertible notes was also amended to increase the interest rate to 7% per annum. Additional information regarding this transaction and the issuance of the Notes can be found in the Company's Current Reports on Form 8-Ks filed January 28, 2008 and April 15, 2008 as well as Form 8-K/A filed on January 31, 2008.
 
First Fiscal Quarter Financial Performance Highlights

We continued to experience strong demand for our products during the first fiscal quarter of 2008 and growth in our revenue and net income.

The following are some financial highlights for the first fiscal quarter of 2008:

Revenues. Our revenue is derived from sales of our bottled water products. Revenues increased $9.24 million, or 149% to $15.46 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $6.22 million for the same period in 2007.

The increase in revenue was mainly due to the increase in demand of bottle water for the period in China and the additional revenue contributed by the two newly acquired bottled water production plants on June 15, 2007 and August 24, 2007. These two newly acquired plants contributed $4.47 million, or 29% of revenue of the quarter for the Company.

The following table shows the different components comprising our total revenues during the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

As the table above indicates, the bottle-sized sector accounts for an aggregate of 69% and 68% of our sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The carboy-sized sector accounts for 21% and 32% of our sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We also sold some spare PET bottle production and other raw materials which accounts for 10% of our sales in this quarter.

Cost of Goods Sold. Our cost of goods sold in primarily comprised of the cost of our new materials, components, labs and overhead. Our cost of goods sold increased $5.72 million, or 134%, to $9.99 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $4.26 million during the same period in 2007. We believe that this increase was in line with our increased in revenue. As a percentage of revenues, the cost of goods sold decreased to 65% during the three months ended March 31, 2008 from 69% in the same period in 2007, which was mainly attributable to the fixed costs recorded in cost of sales and other overhead expenses which remained constant while our revenue and production capacity increased.

Gross Profit. Gross profit is equal to the difference between our revenue and cost of goods sold. Our gross profit increased $3.52 million, or 180%, to $5.47 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $1.95 million during the same period in 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 35% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of 4% from 31% during the same period in 2007. Such percentage increase was mainly due to the automated PET bottle production facility which we introduced in late 2007 that boosted our efficiencies in all product categories. Gross margins for bottle-sized water products and carboy-sized bottled water products rose to 35% and 38% respectively in the first quarter ended March 31, 2008, from 31% and 34% in the same period of 2007.

Selling Expenses. Selling expenses include sales representative commissions, the cost of advertising and promotional materials, salesperson salaries and expenses. Our selling expenses were $0.04 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. As a percentage of revenues, selling expenses accounted to 0.26% for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The increase is mainly contributed by the increase in traveling expenses during the quarter. We incurred more traveling expenses because we conducted more marketing activities to promote the sales of our products and has found more distributor clients during the first quarter of year 2008.

Administrative Expenses. Administrative expenses include the costs associated with staff and support personnel who manage our business activities, professional fees paid to third party service providers, and a $14.0 million accrual for stock based compensation. Our administrative expenses excluding the stock based compensation were $1.58 million (10% of total sales) and $0.28 million (4% of total sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increased administrative expenses were mainly due to increases in professional service fees related to our status as a public company.

Interest expense. Our interest expense were $3.68 million during the first quarter of 2008. On January 24, 2008, we issued $50 million of convertible notes. The interest rate is 7%. During period from January 24 through March 31, 2008, interest expense to pay the investors is $ 0.6 million, resulting from the amortization of deferred financing cost is $0.36 million, amortization of discount on convertible notes payable of $2.69 million, and interest expenses for the lines of credit and note payable is 0.03 million.

Income Taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we were exempted from income tax and thus incurred no income taxes cost, while for the same period in 2008, we recognized an income tax expense of $0.67 million.

Net Income. Net income decreased $14.83 million to $(13.14) million for three months ended March 31, 2008, from $1.69 million for the same period of last year due to the factors described above. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

General

As of March 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash) of approximately $23.0 million. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statement periods presented in this report.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $2.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, which is an increase of approximately $0.5 million from approximately $2.0 million net operating activities for the same period of 2007. The increase of the cash provided by operating activities was mainly attributable to two acquisitions made by the Company in late 2007 which increased sales and our revenue.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 was $16.0 million, which is an increase of approximately $16.0 million from net cash used in investing activities of approximately $0.07 million for the same period of 2007.  Our main uses of cash for investing activities went to deposits for business expansion pursuits including the acquisition of Guangshou Grand Canyon Distilled Water Co. Ltd and five other prospective acquisition targets.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 was approximately $44.0 million, which is an increase of approximately $44.0 million from approximately $0.006 million net cash used in financing activities during the same period of 2007. The increase of the cash provided by financing activities was mainly attributed by the convertible notes we issued in January 2008 that contributed $26.1 million proceeds in the first quarter of 2008.

Our bank loans, other interest bearing borrowings and their maturities as of March 31, 2008 were as follows:

We believe that our currently available working capital should be adequate to sustain our operations at our current levels through at least the next twelve months.  

However, depending on our future needs and changes and trends in the capital markets affecting our shares and the Company, we may determine to seek additional equity or debt financing in the private or public markets.

Provision for Income Taxes

United States

China Water and Drink Inc. is subject to United States tax at a tax rate of 34%. No provision for income taxes in the United States has been made as China Water had no taxable income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.

British Virgin Islands
 
Our subsidiaries, Gain Dynasty Investments Limited and Fine Lake International Limited, were incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, or BVI, and, under the current laws of the BVI, are not subject to income taxes.

PRC

Before the implementation of the enterprise income tax (“EIT”) law (as discussed below), Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIE”) established in the PRC are generally subject to an EIT rate of 33.0%, which includes a 30.0% state income tax and a 3.0% local income tax. On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China passed the new Corporate Income Tax Law (“EIT Law”), and on November 28, 2007, the State Council of China passed the Implementing Rules for the EIT Law (“Implementing Rules”) which took effect on January 1, 2008. The EIT Law and Implementing Rules impose a unified EIT of 25.0% on all domestic-invested enterprises and FIEs, unless they qualify under certain limited exceptions. Therefore, nearly all FIEs are subject to the new tax rate alongside other domestic businesses rather than benefiting from the FEIT, and its associated preferential tax treatments, beginning January 1, 2008.

In addition to the changes to the current tax structure, under the EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a resident enterprise and will normally be subject to an EIT of 25.0% on its global income. The Implementing Rules define the term “de facto management bodies” as “an establishment that exercises, in substance, overall management and control over the production, business, personnel, accounting, etc., of a Chinese enterprise.” If the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that the Company should be classified as a resident enterprise, then the organization’s global income will be subject to PRC income tax of 25.0%.
 
Under the income tax law and the related implementing rules, FIEs engaging in manufacturing businesses with a term of operation exceeding ten years may, subject to approval from local taxation authorities, be entitled to a two-year tax exemption from PRC EIT starting from the year they become profitable and a 50.0% tax reduction for the three years thereafter.

As approved by the relevant PRC tax authority, our subsidiaries Guangdong Taoda Drink Co., Limited, Zhanjiang Taoda Drink Co., Limited, Changchun Taoda Beverage Co., Limited, Shandong Olympic Forward Drink Co., Limited and Nanning Taoda Drink Company Limited were entitled to a two-year exemption from EIT followed by a 50.0% tax exemption for the next three years, commencing from the first cumulative profit-making year in the fiscal financial year. The tax holiday of the above companies commenced in 2006. Accordingly, the above companies were exempted from EIT for 2006 and 2007 and thereafter entitled to a 50% reduction on EIT tax rate of 16.5% for 2008, 2009 and 2010. The year of 2010 is the last year that we enjoy a 50.0% tax reduction. From 2011, we are subject to PRC EIT at a rate of 25.0% of assessable profits, consisting of a 25% national tax.

Seasonality

Our sales are subject to seasonality factors. 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 be higher in the second and third quarters of the year when the weather is hot and dry, and lower in the first and fourth quarters 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.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities. For all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, SFAS 157 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. As it relates to the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, the adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company is still in the process of evaluating the impact that SFAS 157 will have its nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

26

 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (“fair value option”). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, SFAS 159 specifies that unrealized gains and losses for that instrument be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 was effective for us on January 1, 2008. The Company did not apply the fair value option to any of our outstanding instruments and, therefore, SFAS 159 did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our Company’s accounting policies are fully described in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements which are included herewith. As disclosed in Note 2, the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, and valuation of long-lived assets including identifiable intangibles and goodwill. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions and factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Based on our ongoing review, we plan to adjust our judgments and estimates where facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from our estimates.
 
We believe the following critical accounting policies are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and require our management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition. 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 or services have been rendered;
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.

Business Combinations. The Company accounts for business combinations under SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141”). Acquisitions require significant estimates and judgments related to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed to which the transaction costs are allocated under the purchase method of accounting. Certain liabilities are subjective in nature. We reflect such liabilities based upon the most recent information available. The ultimate settlement of such liabilities may be for amounts that are different from the amounts initially recorded. A significant amount of judgment also is involved in determining the fair value of assets acquired. Different assumptions could yield materially different results. 

Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets.    We evaluate our goodwill and intangible assets for impairment pursuant to SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS No. 142"), which provides that goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but tested for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment. The impairment test is comprised of two steps:

1. A reporting unit's fair value is compared to its carrying value. The carrying values of each reporting unit are determined by specifically identifying and allocating the assets and liabilities of the Company to each reporting unit based on headcount, relative revenues or costs, or other methods as deemed appropriate by management. If the fair value is less than its carrying value, impairment is indicated;

27

 
2. If impairment is indicated in the first step, it is measured by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill and intangible assets to their carrying value at the reporting unit level.

Long-lived and Amortizing Intangible Assets.    We account for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS No. 144"). SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This Statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the expected future net cash flows generated by the asset. If it is determined that the asset may not be recoverable and if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent of the difference. SFAS No. 144 requires companies to separately report discontinued operations, including components of an entity that either have been disposed of (by sale, abandonment or in a distribution to owners) or classified as held for sale. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, we assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles and long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important which could individually or in combination trigger an impairment review include the following:
1.  Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
2.  Significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business;
3.  Significant negative industry or economic trends;
4.  Significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period; and
5.  Our market capitalization relative to net book value.

If we determined that the carrying value of intangibles and long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, we would record an impairment equal to the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.

On a quarterly basis, we assess whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that potentially indicate the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance arrangements.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of members of their management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and our interim Chief Financial Officer ("interim CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our CEO and interim CFO have concluded that the Company’s internal controls and procedures were not effective at the end of the fiscal quarter in alerting them in a timely manner to material information relating to the Company required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings, because of a material weakness in the internal controls over financial reporting identified by our independent auditors in connection with the audit of their fiscal 2007 year as discussed below and in their Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on May 1, 2008.
 
In connection with the annual audit and preparation of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, certain control deficiencies were noted by our independent auditors in the close process. Such deficiencies include: 1) the Company did not maintain an effective Audit Committee to oversee the effectiveness of the system of internal control, 2) the Company did not maintain effective controls over the financial closing process to ensure the accurate and timely preparation of local financial statements and financial data which is necessary for preparation of consolidated financial statements, 3) the internal controls were not adequately designed or operating in a manner to effectively support the requirements of the financial reporting and period-end close process. This material weakness is the result of aggregate deficiencies in internal control activities. The material weakness also includes failures in the operating effectiveness of controls which would ensure (i) proper cut-off of revenues and expenses and (ii) proper accounting for value added taxes.

28

 
In addition, subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2008, included in its Original Form 10-Q, the Company determined that there were errors made in accounting for certain transactions in its consolidated financial statements.
 
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the Company's financial reporting. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
 
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
 
The Company has been and continues to strengthen procedures and controls, and is currently reviewing the matters identified during the course of the 2007 audit to determine how to most effectively remedy such issues. This Form 10-Q/A reflects the restatement of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2008. 
 
During the first quarter of 2008, the Company took actions to further strengthen our internal controls, including:
 
1. Continuing the process to become Sarbanes-Oxley 404 Compliant including implementing extensive review and approval procedures of the Company's financial statements and SEC Reports. The Company is in the process of developing comprehensive policies and procedures over revenue recognition, including requirement for documentation to recognize revenues under financial reporting standards and enhance the control processes surrounding the review and approval of revenue.
 
2. Hiring and training Accountants and Accounting Managers, and continuing to train new personnel.
 
3. The Company has hired a US GAAP consultant firm with relevant accounting experience, skills and knowledge in the preparation of financial statements under the requirements of US GAAP and financial reporting disclosure pursuant to SEC rules, which will enhance the supervisory control over financial statements GAAP conversion and financial reporting.
 
On an ongoing basis, we will continue to review our internal controls and disclosure controls and may identify additional measures which will enhance our internal controls over financial reporting. The process of designing and implementing effective controls is a continuous effort that requires the Company to anticipate and react to changes in our business and regulatory environments and to maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company. In our undertaking of this continuous effort, we may identify various control deficiencies. We will assess the significance of any control deficiencies that come to our attention and determine the extent to which such deficiencies may be mitigated or require remediation.

The disclosure controls and procedures which we continue to develop and complement are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to their management, including the CEO and interim CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how we conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met under all potential conditions, regardless of how remote, and may not prevent or detect all error and all fraud. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company has been prevented or detected.
