PART I
As used herein the terms “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” “it,” and “its” refer to Hendrx Corp., its subsidiaries, and its predecessor, unless context indicates otherwise.
Corporate History
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 4, 1998 as “Starsoft, Inc.” for the purpose of developing business software for legalized gambling applications. Due to fiscal constraints, we ceased significant business operations at the end of October in 2000. Between November of 2000 and December of 2004, we remained without significant operations.
On December 16, 2004, the Company concluded a Share Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with Eastway Global Investment Limited (“Eastway”), Fujian Yuxin Equipment Co., Ltd., (“Yuxin”), Hendrik Tjandra, and David Tjahjadi in connection with our acquisition of Eastway and its wholly owned subsidiary Yuxin, a research and development, manufacturing, marketing and distribution organization located in Fujian, China. The acquisition of Yuxin included all the intellectual property related to its product lines, the manufacturing facility in China, marketing rights, inventories, distribution agreements, and trained employees. On March 28, 2005, we changed our name to “Hendrx Corp.”
The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 2610-1066 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 3X2, and our telephone number is (888) 436-3791.
The Company’s registered statutory office is located at Laughlin Associates, Inc., 2533 North Carson Street, Carson, Nevada, 89709.
The Company trades on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “HDRX.”
The Company
The Company is engaged in the research and development, manufacture, marketing and world-wide distribution of water generation, filtration, ionization, desalinization, and purification devices. Our main product lines include atmospheric water generation (“AWG”) units, alkaline calcium ionic water dispensers, and reverse osmosis systems.
Technology
Atmospheric Water Generation
Atmospheric water generation units extract and purify drinking water from the air. Retrieving moisture from the air is practical, accessible, readily available and virtually unlimited in supply for creating safe, secure, potable water that meets or surpasses the highest international standards for water quality at a competitive price.
Our AWG machines extract water from the atmosphere by (i) pulling air though a filter, (ii) cooling the incoming air, thus producing condensation, (iii) capturing the water, and (iv) pumping the water through a series of filtration systems and germicidal Ultra Violet lights for purification.
3
The Company manufactures two types of AWG units. The first type are residential/office AWGs which include countertop and full sized upright models. These are units which will produce 5-12 gallons of water per day depending on humidity and temperature levels. AWG units are self-contained and need only a power source to produce clean drinking water throughout the day. Residential/office AWG units can take the place of bottled water dispensers, eliminating the need for replenishment and storage of bottles.
The second type of AWG unit has commercial and industrial applications. These AWG’s are capable of producing from 83 to more than 3,500 gallons of potable water each day. Industrial units can be used in military, industrial, commercial, humanitarian, and disaster relief applications. The commercialization of industrial AWG units remains under development.
Reverse Osmosis
The Company also manufactures reverse osmosis units. Reverse osmosis is a process by which water is purified utilizing a semi-permeable membrane thereby removing impurities and minerals. Reverse osmosis requires four gallons of water for every one gallon of purified water it produces. The Company’s stand alone dispensers and models installed under sink units on the market.
Reverse osmosis, also known as hyper filtration, is the finest filtration known. This process will allow the removal of particles as small as ions from a solution. Reverse osmosis is used to purify water and remove salts and other impurities in order to improve the color, taste or properties of the fluid. It can be used to purify fluids such as ethanol and glycol, which will pass through the reverse osmosis membrane, while rejecting other ions and contaminants from passing. The most common use for reverse osmosis is in purifying water. It is used to produce water that meets the most demanding specifications that are currently in place. Reverse osmosis uses a membrane that is semi-permeable, allowing the fluid that is being purified to pass through it, while rejecting the contaminants that remain. As some of the fluid passes through the membrane the rest continues downstream, sweeping the rejected species away from the membrane. The process of reverse osmosis requires a driving force to push the fluid through the membrane, and the most common force is pressure from a pump. The higher the pressure, the larger the driving force. As the concentration of the fluid being rejected increases, the driving force required to continue concentrating the fluid increases.
Reverse osmosis is capable of rejecting bacteria, salts, sugars, proteins, particles, dyes, and other constituents that have a molecular weight of greater than 150-250 daltons. The separation of ions with reverse osmosis is aided by charged particles. This means that dissolved ions that carry a charge, such as salts, are more likely to be rejected by the membrane than those that are not charged, such as organics. The larger the charge and the larger the particle, the more likely it will be rejected.
Alkaline Ionic Water
The Company manufactures alkaline calcium ionic water dispensers, units designed to ionize water, which can facilitate a myriad of benefits. These units are similar to reverse osmosis units in that they use tap water as their main source.
Running water over positive and negative electrodes ionizes the water by gaining or losing an electron. The water is then separated into alkaline and acidic water as it passes through membranes, meaning that the pH has been adjusted up or down.
4
Alkaline water is full of hydroxyl ions and has many claimed internal benefits. Acidic water is full of hydrogen ions and is shown to be beneficial to skin and plants. Research shows that ionized water balances body pH, is apowerful antioxidant, and is a powerful detoxifier/hydrator. The suggested benefits of alkaline water, water with a high pH, include the following: it increases energy, boils faster, tastes better, hydrates more efficiently, promotes regularity, facilitates nutrient absorption and promotes overall health.The suggested benefits of acidic water, water with a low pH, include the following: it kills bacteria on contact, helps heal cuts, blisters, scraps, or rashes, provides excellent relief from mosquito bites, bee stings, poison ivy & poison oak, conditions skin, relieves chapped hands & dry, itchy skin, works as an astringent, is an excellent treatment for acne, eczema and athlete’s foot, promotes plant growth and extends the life of cut flowers
Desalination
We have recently started developing what we consider to be a revolutionary and technological breakthrough: portable desalination systems. These units effectively remove salt from seawater which is then transformed into fresh water for drinking.

6
The Company also produces a host of other small water purification devices including carbon filtration systems similar to the “PUR” and “Britta” brands.
Capacity
The Company has approximately 162 skilled employees at its manufacturing plant in Fujian, China with a production capacity of more than 200,000 atmospheric water generation units, reverse osmosis devices, and alkaline calcium ionic water devices annually. The Company is currently exporting these products through 11 distributors to over 40 countries including the United States, Australia, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Lebanon, Malta, Singapore, and India. The Company has coordinated a network of international distributors and is licensing specific geographical territories on a sales performance basis.
Competition
The water generation, water purification and bottled water industries are highly competitive. The Company competes against a number of firms in various industries world-wide. There can be no assurance that other companies will not develop new or enhanced products that are either more effective than the Company’s products or would render the Company’s products non-competitive or obsolete. The Company mainly competes with tap water, bottled water and “point of use” filtration technologies such as AWG and Reverse Osmosis.
We consider our AWG products to be the hallmark of the company and see the five gallon bottled water dispenser industry as a major competitor. The five gallon bottled water market in North America exceeds $1 billion in sales. The bottled water dispenser market is booming but the Company believes it can compete by keeping water costs lower. The big advantages of AWG units as compared with bottled water dispensers are that they eliminate the need for delivery and storage of the bottles themselves, thus removing costs and clutter. In addition, AWG units purify surrounding air as they operate.
The reverse osmosis water dispenser industry is another AWG technology competitor. Under-counter reverse osmosis systems represent a $250 million global market and are growing at the rate of 8% per year. In the U.S. alone there are 100,000 installed units per year representing $150 million in sales. The market for reverse osmosis units is very competitive, often plagued by price wars. “Big Box” retailers such as Lowes, Home Depot and Sears are the primary distribution channels for these products, with retail water treatment dealers sharing a small portion of the market. We believe that we can successfully compete for the reverse osmosis market segment with some innovative solutions and design of our own reverse osmosis systems and will compete using our AWG units by keeping overall water costs lower.
Another growing segment in which the Company is increasing market share is the segment of alkaline ionic water. The feedback from industry experts and our distributors is that alkaline ionic water machines are gaining popularity and may surpass the reverse osmosis market segment.
Despite certain competition that has appeared within the last three years, we believe that we can retain significant market advantages because we:
| • | are the industry pioneer; the first company to develop and mass-produce the atmospheric water generator; the only company with almost 5 years manufacturing track record; |
| • | are the market veteran in the industry and have experience and expertise resulting in the production of high-quality and reliable products; |
| • | have a broad range of products; |
| • | have well developed distribution channels through qualified distributors and wholesalers; |
| • | have manufacturing efficiencies to keep product quality high and cost of production low; and |
| • | continue in our R&D practices and keep numerous productions under development. |
7
The identification of market players is a subjective proposition, not only because it requires the determination of criteria to suggest involvement in the relevant market, but also because the number of peripheral players requires decisions on which companies to include and which to exclude.
Companies that distribute AWGs and companies that manufacture AWGs must be properly distinguished. The Company falls into the category of a “manufacturer.” As such, we have taken a broad view of market players involved in the manufacturing of AWG to include:
Residential/Office Models
| • | Hyflux (www.hyflux.com) is a publicly traded company based in Singapore. Hyflux’s main business is in extremely large-scale water filtration and purification through membrane technology such as reverse osmosis and desalination. In January 2003, they announced that they had purchased a portion of a US company, Worldwide Water/Air2Water, and also entered into a licensing agreement to manufacture air to water generators. Hyflux’s air to water generator, the Dragonfly, closely resembles the Hendrx unit both in size, appearance and specifications. Hyflux contracted the manufacturing of the Dragonfly units to a multi-billion dollar appliance manufacturer located in Qing Dao, China, called Haier. |
Strengths: Being a public company with large water treatment and purification projects throughout Asia amounting to over $1 billion annually and having the Singapore Government’s unwavering support makes Hyflux a formidable competitor in the business.
Weaknesses:
With almost all of the company’s revenues made by carrying out massive government water treatment and purification projects, Hyflux does not appear to spend much of its resources or focus its efforts on the air to water industry. We regard them as a main competitor.
| • | Dong Yang Co. Ltd., (www.dywater.net) is based in Kimpo, South Korea. The company has been involved with the manufacturing of residential/office water purification devices using Reverse Osmosis for 20 years. They entered the AWG water industry in 2002 with an upright full size unit known today as the M-10. This unit is 50% larger in size than the full-sized the Company unit. |
Strengths: The M-10 is well built and uses high-quality Korean components. The company has 20 years of experience in water purification and water filtration.
Weaknesses: Dong Yang had recently shrunk its operations and eliminated all other water filtration products from their lines, opting instead to concentrate on producing the air water generators.
Although well-built and somewhat reliable, the Company considers the M-10 bulky, noisy and thus generally unsuitable for homes and offices. The company shows pictures of another countertop water machine on their website, but there is no evidence that the product is available in the market. Having only one model in the market makes Dong Yang in a difficult position to compete with the Company and other AWG manufacturers.
| • | Wataire Industries (www.wataireindustries.com) is a publicly traded company on the pink sheets with its corporate office in Vancouver, Canada. Having been in the atmospheric water business for a number of years, the company has kept a very low profile, only to rise again in the past year by revamping and redesigning their products.
|
8
Wataire’s full-sized upright AWG, called the WII-4010, also closely resembles the Hendrx model. According to the website, Wataire’s manufacturing facility is located in Sydney, Australia. Additionally, Wataire also offers industrial/commercial water generators.
Industrial/Commercial Units
| • | Munters Corporation (www.munters.us) is a Swedish based company with $700 million in annual sales, and thus is the world’s largest dehumidification company. Munters’ entry into the industrial/commercial atmospheric water generators industry in 2003 was a horizontal expansion. Utilizing Munters’ base unit dehumidifier with a few modifications, they were able to deliver 18 models to the market in early 2005. In March 2005, Munters won the “Most Innovative Product” award during the Air conditioner, Heating and Refrigeration (AHR) Expo in Orlando, Florida. With 29 offices and facilities throughout the world employing over 3,000 people, the Munters atmospheric water generators are assembled in Texas. |
Strengths: Munters is an expert in dehumidification technologies. The company, having been established 60 years ago, has over 300 engineers situated throughout the world to provide technical support for their machines. Munters also has established infrastructure, along with strong financial resources to back their products and continuing their research and development programs.
Weaknesses: Munters has not really incorporated and embraced the air water generators into one of their business units, preferring instead to appoint third party entities to market and distribute the products. This move has slightly hampered the progress of penetrating the products into the market foray.
| • | Air Water Corporation (www.airwatercorp.com) is a Florida based subsidiary of the publicly traded Universal Communications Systems (under the ticker symbol “UCSY”). Although, Air Water Corporation obtains their residential/office water generator from the Company, they currently offer five industrial/commercial water generators producing from 120 liters to 1000 liters per day. |
Strengths: Air Water Corporation’s marketing is well polished and the company seems to be making an aggressive and coordinated effort to penetrate the market. The company has a good public relations mechanism and seems to be adequately financed.
Weaknesses: Air Water Corporation does not currently manufacture any of its machines, although it has purchased exclusive distribution rights for some machines being manufactured in India. Without any proprietary merchandise or in-house research and development capacity, the company may find itself forced to sell antiquated, second generation machines within a very short period of time.
Dealing with Competition
When the Company began its AWG operations in October 2001, it was the first and only company in the world to bring the concept of an air-water generator into mass production and to distribute such a product to a world-wide market. Since then other companies have develop similar products as atmospheric water technology is not extremely difficult to copy or reproduce. In dealing with competitors, the Company intends to:
9
1. | Focus on remaining a “market leader” and in the forefront of the atmospheric water technology. |
We must allocate sufficient funds to our research and development programs. We plan to establish a separate research and development facility in the United States. The facility’s responsibilities will include:
| • | Developing prototypes of new and innovative atmospheric water generators for other sectors of the target market such as the marine sector; |
| • | Researching the commercial viability of other innovative and unique technologies that could be integrated to the products; and |
| • | Improving upon existing product lines to make them more efficient and competitively priced. |
2. | Focus on “industry pioneer” status to remain ahead of the competitions. |
As an industry pioneer, the Company must establish itself as the company that consumers seek when they intend to purchase an atmospheric water generator. We must also establish the Company as the company potential distributors look toward when they intend to enter into the atmospheric water business. This can be done through a series of carefully planned marketing strategies to create “brand” and “product” awareness with potential customers (end-users) and distributors in the targeted markets.
3. | Form Strategic Alliances with competitors. |
Certain companies are too large to compete with. Moreover, they may only manufacture products that compete with one or two of our products. In this case, we could increase our value and market position by forming strategic alliances with these companies through agreements to cross-sell and protect each other’s products and technologies. The Company could then direct R&D funds into particular products instead of spreading them across the development of all of our products. With smaller competitors, the Company would use its market leader status by getting them to purchase products from the Company. So far, we have implemented this strategy successfully with Aqua Maker and Air Water Corporation.
Competitive Advantages
Although the sectors being targeted by the Company may appear to be crowded, the simple fact remains that none of these companies have capabilities – manufacturing, design, and distribution – to the extent realized by the Company. These distinctions and their tremendous advantages enable superior products and infrastructure and separate us from our competitors.
Marketability
When we look at the marketability of our products, we consider the following factors:
| • | Plain tap water, which in many countries was once the main source of drinking water, is being gradually replaced by bottled or filtered water for fear of contaminants; |
| • | Water is the most purchased non-alcoholic beverage in the United States and in many other parts of the world; |
| • | The market is dominated by a small number of large companies; |
| • | The industry has come under scrutiny with regard to water quality; |
| • | Consumers are looking for alternative sources of high quality, fresh drinking water; |
| • | Demand for fresh water by the world’s population is much higher than available supply; and |
| • | The market potential for AWG technology is estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide, with a growth of 12-15% per year. |
10
The drinking water industry is divided into numerous different sectors ranging from water filtration companies to bottling companies. There are several types of water readily available in the market, including: filtered tap water, reverse osmosis water, natural spring water, artesian spring water, sparkling water and mineral water, all of which are bottled and available for purchase. Bottled water is also available in bulk and can be delivered to the home or office via bottled water service companies.
Our products are not in direct competition with many segments of the water industry, but are closely associated with, and can be regarded to compete in the bottled water and delivered water industries.
Based upon data from the Beverages Marketing Corporation, the Company has arrived at the following conclusions that serve to reinforce our potential and promise:
| • | The availability of fresh drinking water is dwindling and presents a serious challenge to city administrators and other government officials. |
| • | The search for viable alternative sources of fresh drinkable water is leading governments and world agencies to spend billions of dollars annually to upgrade and maintain water filtration plants. |
| • | The bottled water market is rapidly growing and is the second largest beverage sector. This indicates that global consumers are seeking alternatives to the water supplied to their homes. |
| • | Scientific understandings of the natural cycle of water, combined with new, innovative technologies, allow for the recreation of the water cycle and the production of air that is present, in abundance, in the atmosphere. |
Although competitors exist and the attractiveness of the market potential is likely to draw additional competitors, the inherent advantages the Company has, including R&D capacity, manufacturing capacity, and marketing reach, make us a formidable market leader.
Research and Development
The research and development division at the Company has strategic US-based scientific and management relationships which have assisted with the Company’s products becoming ISO9002, CE, CB and CCC certified. The Company has historically devoted a significant amount of time and resources to R&D activities. Our subsidiary, Yuxin, is also a member of the Water Quality Association. In addition, we are spending considerable time on obtaining approvals on all of our models and devices for the world market.
Embracing this challenge and to maintain its status as an industry leader of AWG applications, the Company plans to increase its devotion of time and energy to research and development. The commitment to R&D will keep the Company focused on continually improving the efficiencies associated with water production, increasing water storage capacity, expanding the effectiveness filtration devices, and enhancing energy efficiency.
Research and development costs, which include the cost of materials and services consumed and salaries and wages of personnel directly engaged in research and development, are expensed as incurred. The costs incurredwere $22,829 and $21,536 in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Risks Related to the Company’s Business
We have a history of significant operating losses and such losses may continue in the future.
Since our inception in 1998, our expenses have significantly exceeded our revenue, resulting in continuing losses. During fiscal 2007 we recorded a loss from operations of $1,047,734 and a net loss of $25,948,919. We believe that may continue to incur operating losses until such time as we realize the benefits of our recently revamped marketing and sales plans.
The Company competes against companies with larger and better-financed corporations.
The Company operates in a highly competitive market with financial rewards pending on market performance. Some of our competitors are multi-million enterprises with more resources for research and development as well as marketing. If any of these competitors focused upon the AWG market, we would be at a significant disadvantage in reaping our markets’ financial rewards.
The Company may fail to adequately manage growth.
The strategic plan being implemented by the Company is expected to yield significant growth. This growth requires infrastructure and personnel, as well as expanded operations, and needs to be properly managed. Should we fail to adequately manage our growth potential, our operations could be significantly impaired.
We are dependent upon key personnel who would be difficult to replace.
Our continued operation will be largely dependent upon the efforts, knowledge and abilities of our management team. A loss of management’s strategic vision and the core of the team would be a hindrance to our prospects and success. Our future success also will depend in large part upon our ability to identify, attract and retain other highly qualified managerial, technical and sales and marketing personnel. Competition for these individuals is intense. The inability to identify, attract or retain qualified personnel in the future or delays in hiring qualified personnel could make it more difficult for us to maintain our operations and meet key objectives.
We have an integral dependence on marketing.
The Company has an ambitious vision and has developed a well conceived plan to reach its objectives. The scope of the plan will require high profile marketing, including the possibility of joint marketing campaigns with compatible companies. Failure to initiate and successfully implement excellent marketing efforts could adversely affect our capacity to execute our plan.
Our business is largely dependent on a limited number of customers
For the year ended December 31, 2007, one customer accounted for approximately 25% of our net sales. We do have a contract with this customer though all of sales to them are made through purchase orders for OEM product. The loss of this customer, including through an acquisition, other business combination or their loss of business from their customers could have a substantial and adverse effect on our business. We have in the past, and may in the future, lose our major customers or a substantial portion of our business with one or more major customers. If we do not sell products to customers in the quantities anticipated, or if a major customers reduces or terminates its relationship with us, market perception of our products and technology, growth prospects, and financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. Any termination of our relationship with, or significant reduction or modification of the products we manufacture for this customer would materially reduce our revenue.

Risks Related to the Company’s Stock
The market for our stock is limited and our stock price may be volatile.
The market for our common stock has been limited due to low trading volume and the small number of brokerage firms acting as market makers. Because of the limitations of our market and volatility of the market price of our stock, investors may face difficulties in selling shares at attractive prices when they want to. The average daily trading volume for our stock has varied significantly from week to week and from month to month, and the trading volume often varies widely from day to day.
We may incur significant expenses as a result of being quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, which may negatively impact our financial performance.
We incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a result of being listed on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related rules implemented by the Commission has required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. We expect that compliance with these laws, rules and regulations, including compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as discussed in the following risk factor, may substantially increase our expenses, including our legal and accounting costs, and make some activities more time-consuming and costly. As a result, there may be a substantial increase in legal, accounting and certain other expenses in the future, which would negatively impact our financial performance and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our internal controls over financial reporting may not be considered effective in the future, which could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and in turn have an adverse effect on our stock price.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal controls over financial reporting. Such report must contain, among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of the year, including a statement as to whether or not our internal controls over financial reporting are effective. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting identified by management. If we are unable to continue to assert that our internal controls are effective, our investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.
The Company does not pay dividends.
The Company does not pay dividends. We have not paid any dividends since inception and have no intention of paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends would be at the discretion
of our board of directors and would depend on, among other things, future earnings, our operating and financial condition, our capital requirements, and general business conditions. Therefore, shareholders should not expect any type of cash flow from their investment.
The Company will require additional capital funding.
There can be no guarantee that we will not require additional funds, either through additional equity offerings or debt placements, in order to expand our operations. Such additional capital may result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, our ability to meet short-term and long-term financial commitments will depend on future cash. There can be no assurance that future income will generate sufficient funds to enable us to meet our financial commitments.

The Company’s shareholders may face significant restrictions on their stock.
The Company’s stock differs from many stocks in that it is a “penny stock.” The Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks” including, but not limited to, those rules from the Securities Act as follows:
| 3a51-1 | which defines penny stock as, generally speaking, those securities which are not listed on either NASDAQ or a national securities exchange and are priced under $5, excluding securities of issuers that have net tangible assets greater than $2 million if they have been in operation at least three years, greater than $5 million if in operation less than three years, or average revenue of at least $6 million for the last three years; |
| 15g-1 | which outlines transactions by broker/dealers which are exempt from 15g-2 through 15g-6 as those whose commissions from traders are lower than 5% total commissions; |
| 15g-2 | which details that brokers must disclose risks of penny stock on Schedule 15G; |
| 15g-3 | which details that broker/dealers must disclose quotes and other information relating to the penny stock market; |
| 15g-4 | which explains that compensation of broker/dealers must be disclosed; |
| 15g-5 | which explains that compensation of persons associated in connection with penny stock sales must be disclosed; |
| 15g-6 | which outlines that broker/dealers must send out monthly account statements; and |
| 15g-9 | which defines sales practice requirements. |
Since the Company’s securities constitute a “penny stock” within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and our securities. Because these rules provide regulatory burdens upon broker-dealers, they may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their securities in any market that may develop; the rules themselves may limit the market for penny stocks. Additionally, the market among dealers may not be active. Investors in penny stock often are unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock. The mark-ups or commissions charged by the broker-dealers may be greater than any profit a seller may make. Because of large dealer spreads, investors may be unable to sell the stock immediately back to the dealer at the same price the dealer sold the stock to the investor. In some cases, the stock may fall quickly in value. Investors may be unable to reap any profit from any sale of the stock, if they can sell it at all.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to Commission Release No. 34-29093 dated April 17, 1991, the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. These patterns include:
| • | control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; |
| • | manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; |
| • | “boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; |
| • | excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and |
| • | the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses. |

Discussion and Analysis
Strategy
The Company is continuing efforts to accomplish its long-term goals and objectives, as follows:
1. Increase overall market share, remain a “Market Leader” in the atmospheric water industry, and attain business plan targets.
The Company will implement the following strategies pursuant to this goal:
18
| • | Increase revenues through sales; |
| • | Increase revenues through higher profit margins; |
| • | Acquire companies with existing distribution networks and healthy revenue stream, thereby immediately owning the infrastructure; |
| • | Expand the Company horizontally through joint ventures or acquisition of companies with unique and/or revolutionary technologies or products; and |
| • | Implement an aggressive, yet carefully developed and well-conceived marketing campaign to create brand and product awareness. |
2. | Manufacture defect and trouble free equipment. |
An important reason for the failure of many AWG companies is defects that have continued to plague the industry. The concept of producing water from the air is not a new one, however, using the water for drinking purposes is. Typical air conditioning or dehumidification companies have the ability to manufacture appliances that produce water from the air but they do not have the expertise and “know-how” to purify the water and maintain purity of the water. On the other hand, some water filtration/purifier appliance manufacturers have the knowledge to purify and/or filter water, but they do not have the capability to ensure trouble-free operations of water machines.
At this time, it is crucial for the Company to manufacture only reliable, trouble-free water machines. The ability to have a truly “plug and play” machine without service calls and technical problems is crucial to us.
3. | Become financially stable. |
Numerous atmospheric water companies have failed because they ran out of funds, either before they could successfully produce machines or before they could enter the market. The Company must ensure that it have sufficient funds to move forward in pursuit of its goals and objectives.
4. | Be highly profitable to our shareholders. |
We aim to create an extraordinary value to our shareholders through advanced research and development of new, innovative, safe and highly effective products that help people around the world live healthier, happier and longer lives.
5. | Help establish a professional industry image. |
One problem which has continuously plagued the infant atmospheric water industry is the lack of professionalism by the players, most of which have been small operations attempting to enter into a multi-billion water industry. Often, small companies represented products that were manufactured by factories with little or no knowledge in building atmospheric water generators. As a result, many consumers ended up with products that did not work well if at all.
Our intent is to erase the “garage industry” mentality from the atmospheric water industry and build a professional industry image in which the players value quality, reliability, and place a high emphasis on fostering a professional relationship with their network of distributors, agents and dealers by ensuring protection and support necessary to build a lasting and mutually profitable business.
19
Reaching Our Goals and Objectives
To reach the above goals and objectives, we have begun implementation of a series of strategies which we refer to as our “10-Step” plan, as follows:
| 1. | Corporate and management restructuring |
| 2. | Improve and rectify manufacturing processes |
| 3. | Establish additional assembly facility (in the United States) |
| 4. | Establish research and development facility |
| 5. | Develop and launch new products |
| 6. | Establish regional offices |
| 7. | Increase number of distributors |
| 8. | Develop and implement support systems for distributors |
| 9. | Financial and debt restructuring |
| 10. | Consolidate the industry |
Additionally, our expanded marketing strategy, not fully in place at this time, will focus on the following:
| • | To determine ideal geographical markets; |
| • | To obtain and sign as many distributors as possible in the selected geographical targets; |
| • | To develop as sound marketing plan; |
| • | To increase our brand and product awareness; |
| • | To saturate the market; |
| • | To increase revenues through sale and acquisitions; and |
| • | To develop a retail market campaign. |
Further, we have begun developing comprehensive national and international sales campaigns as well as taken steps to improve customer satisfaction with after sales service.
Our business development strategy is prone to significant risks and uncertainties some of which can have an immediate impact on our efforts to increase positive net cash flow and deter future prospects for the expansion of our business.
The Company’s operations will require $1,000,000 in outside funding over the next 12 months.
Results of Operations
During the period ended December 31, 2007, the Company was engaged in the research and development, manufacturing, and marketing of AWG, reverse osmosis, and other water related units from Fujian, China. We expect that over the next twelve months we will fully embark on our comprehensive marketing plan for the sale of AWG units while focusing on innovation through research and development.
Revenue
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $1,870,092 from $2,247,678 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of 17%. The decrease in gross revenues over the comparative 12 month periods can be attributed to a failure to fully implement our expanded marketing strategy. Assuming that we can fully implement our expanded marketing strategy in the near term, we expect that gross revenues will increase over the next twelve months.
20
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit
Cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $1,857,965 from $2,236,862 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of 17%. Cost of goods sold has been 99% of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $12,127 from $10,816 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2006, an increase of 12%. These small levels of gross profit are due to inefficiencies in manufacturing and quality control. Assuming that we can remedy these inefficiencies and increase our quality control effectiveness, we expect that gross revenues will increase over the next twelve months.
Expenses
Selling expenses for the period ended December 31, 2007 decreased to $153,074 from $302,427 for the comparable twelve month period ended December 31, 2006. General and administrative expenses for the period ended December 31, 2007 increased to $756,169 from $714,039 for the comparable twelve month period ended December 31, 2006. Contract services for the period ended December 31, 2007 increased to $231,434 from $211,797 for the comparable twelve month period ended December 31, 2006. Salaries and wages for the period ended December 31, 2007 decreased to $195,436 from $209,977 for the comparable twelve month period ended December 31, 2006. We expect our aggregate expenses to remain stable over the next twelve months.
Loss from Operations
Loss from operations for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2007 was $1,323,986 from $1,427,424 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of 7%. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in selling expenses. The Company expects to further reduce losses from operations over the next twelve months with increase sales and decreased costs of goods sold.
Net Loss
Net loss for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2007 was $25,948,919 from a net loss of $2,974,186 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2006, an increase of 772%. This increase is primarily attributable to an impairment on our intangible assets totaling $24,369,645 in the current period (up from $358,350 in the previous period). We also had an interest expense of $265,392 in the current
period (up from $184,703). The Company expects a significant decrease in losses over the next twelve months because of the impairment in the current period.
Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 are $563,663 and $79,917, respectively.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The deferred tax liability associated with any net earnings will be offset by deferred tax assets related to the net operating loss carryforwards of the Company. A valuation allowance has been recorded for the remaining amount of net deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty surrounding its ultimate realization.
21
Impact of Inflation
The Company believes that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations over the past three years. The Company believes that it can offset inflationary increases in maintenance costs by increasing revenue and improving operating efficiencies.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flow used in operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $1,047,734as compared to cash flow used by operations of $1,611,738 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2006. Cash flow used in operation in the current period is primarily due to losses from operations and an increase in inventories and accounts receivables that were not offset by adjustments from amortization and depreciation.
Cash flow used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $20,611as compared to $346,082 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2006. Cash flow used in the current period is due to cash paid for equipment.
Cash flow produced by financing activities was $1,088,378 for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $55,312 used in financing activities for the comparable period ended December 31, 2006. Cash flow in the current period is from short term loans and advances from related parties. The Company expects that cash flow will continue to be produced from financing activities in 2008 as management anticipates new debt or equity financing to move our business plan forward.
The Company had a working capital deficit of $2,317,143 as of December 31, 2007 and has funded its cash needs from revenue as well as debt and equity financing provided by banks and other unrelated parties. The Company anticipates that cash flows from future revenues and debt or equity placements are expected to be sufficient to fund operations in 2008. However there can be no assurance that the Company will generate sufficient cash flows from revenue or debt or equity placements to fund current operations. Since any earnings, if realized, are anticipated to be reinvested in operations, cash dividends are not expected to be paid in the foreseeable future.
The Company adopted a Stock Option and Compensation Plan (“Plan”) on March 12, 2005. Under the Plan, we may issue stock, stock appreciation rights, or grant options to acquire our common stock to our employees or our subsidiary’s employees. The board of directors, at its own discretion may also issue stock, stock appreciation rights or grant options to other individuals, including consultants or advisors, who render services to us or our subsidiaries. We granted of 350,000 options with an exercise price of $1.50 for a period of five years to all the then current members of the board of directors as of March 12, 2005. We, except in respect to the grant of stock options, have no defined benefit plan or contractual commitment with any of our officers or directors.
We have no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment, outside of normal items to be utilized by manufacturing personnel, unless the holding period is determined to be less than 45 days.
We will make changes in the number of employees as necessary.
22
Critical Accounting Policies
In Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 included in this Form 10-K, the Company discusses those accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining the results of operations and its financial position. The Company believes that the accounting principles utilized by it conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.A.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, warranty obligations, product liability, revenue, and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other facts and circumstances that are believed to be reasonable, and the results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. With respect to revenue recognition, we apply the following critical accounting policy in the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue through the sale of AWG units and other water related products whether to wholesale distributors or to individual consumers. Revenues are recognized only when persuasive evidence for a sales arrangement exists; delivery of the product has occurred; the product fee is fixed or determinable; and collection of the fee is reasonably assured. Revenue derived from the sale of services is initially recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet. The amount is recognized as income over the term of the contract.
Intangible assets and amortization
Land use rights
The subsidiary, Fujian Yuxin Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd., entered into an agreement on May 15, 1995 for land use rights with Fujian Fuqing Land Management Bureau for a 50 year period. These rights are recorded at the appraised value at the date of acquisition and amortized over a maximum period of 40 years.
Patents
The Company owns patents of atmospheric water generation (“AWG”) registered in the People’s Republic of China under number P200304823. The subsidiary utilizes patents under licenses that are registered in the United States under the numbers 5,106,512, 5,149,466, 5,203,989 and 5,366,705.
Costs associated with the acquisition of patents are capitalized and amortized over their useful life. Capitalized costs are subjected to a quarterly impairment test to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of the patents with their carrying amount. The estimates of fair value of the patents are determined based on an independent appraisal. If the carrying amount of the patents exceeds its fair value, management will write the patents down to their net realizable value at the time impairment appears to exist.
The patents are amortized over 15 years using the straight-line method.
23
Impairment of Goodwill
The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization, including goodwill, to determine whether impairment may exist. FAS-142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires that goodwill and certain intangible assets be assessed annually for impairment using fair value measurement techniques.
Specifically, goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process.
The first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of Fujian Yuxin Electronic Equipment Co. Ltd (“Yuxin”), with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The estimates of fair value of Yuxin, are determined using various valuation techniques with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis requires one to make various judgmental assumptions including assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates, and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on the Company’s budget and long-term plans. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts. Discount rate assumptions are based on an assessment of the risk inherent in the Company. If the carrying amount of Yuxin exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.
The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of Yuxin’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of Yuxin’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination.
The Board of Directors of the Company have considered the above factors and recognized a goodwill impairment of $24,054,137 for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Going Concern
The Company’s auditor has expressed concern as to our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of conditions recurring losses, limited revenue-generating activities and a working capital deficit. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is subject to the ability of the Company to increase net income and obtain funding from outside sources. Management’s plan to address the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, include: (i) obtaining funding from private placement sources; (ii) obtaining additional funding from the sale of the Company’s securities; (iii) generating sufficient revenues to sustain operations; and (iv) obtaining loans and grants from various financial institutions, where possible. Although management believes that it will be able to obtain the necessary funding to allow the Company to remain a going concern through the methods discussed above, there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.
Forward Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition
The statements contained in the section titled “Results of Operations” and “Description of Business”, with the exception of historical facts, are forward looking statements. Forward looking statements reflect our current expectations and beliefs regarding our future results of operations, performance, and achievements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based upon assumptions and beliefs that may or may not materialize. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning:
24
• | our anticipated financial performance and business plan; |
• | the sufficiency of existing capital resources; |
• | our ability to raise additional capital to fund cash requirements for future operations; |
• | uncertainties related to the acceptance of our current and future products; |
• | the ability of the Company to achieve and maintain sufficient revenues to fund operations; |
• | the volatility of the stock market; and, |
• | general economic conditions. |
We wish to caution readers that our operating results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated, including the factors set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this report. We also wish to advise readers not to place any undue reliance on the forward looking statements contained in this report, which reflect our beliefs and expectations only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update or revise these forward looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances or any changes in our beliefs or expectations, other than is required by law.
Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS No. 123R), Share-Based Payment, which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. In January 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, which provides supplemental implementation guidance for SFAS No. 123R. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and instead generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards under SFAS No. 123R, consistent with that used for pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. We have elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS No. 123R and accordingly prior periods have not been restated to reflect the impact of SFAS No. 123R. The modified prospective transition method requires that stock-based compensation expense be recorded for all new and unvested stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase plan shares that are ultimately expected to vest as the requisite service is rendered beginning on January 1, 2006, the first day of our fiscal year 2006. Stock-based compensation expense for awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair-value as determined under the pro forma provisions of SFAS No. 123.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No 123R, we measured compensation expense for our employee stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25. We applied the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, as if the fair-value-based method had been applied in measuring compensation expense. Under APB Opinion No. 25, when the exercise price of the employee stock options was equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense was recognized.
25
We account for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and the conclusions reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) in Issue No. 96-18. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by EITF 96-18.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51”. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted. Management is currently evaluating the effects of this statement, but it is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS 159 creates a fair value option allowing an entity to irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and financial liabilities, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as they occur. SFAS 159 also requires an entity to report those financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in a manner that separates those reported fair values from the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities measured using another measurement attribute on the face of the statement of financial position. Lastly, SFAS 159 requires an entity to provide information that would allow users to understand the effect on earnings of changes in the fair value on those instruments selected for the fair value election. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption permitted. The Company is continuing to evaluate SFAS 159 and to assess the impact on our results of operations and financial condition if an election is made to adopt the standard.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised), Business Combinations. This revision statements objective is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its effects on recognizing identifiable assets and measuring goodwill. The adoption of SFAS 141 (revised) did not have an impact on the Company’s financial
statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Hendrx Corp.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Hendrx Corp. as of December 31, 2007and 2006 , and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the PCAOB (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hendrx Corp. at December 31, 2007and 2006 , and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Hendrx Corp. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, Hendrx Corp. has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

HENDRX CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2007
Note 1. | ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS |
Organization
Hendrx Corp. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 4, 1998 (Inception Date) for the purpose of promoting and carrying on any lawful business for which a corporation may be incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company operated from May 4, 1998 through approximately October 31, 2000 developing and marketing computer software. The Company had also planned to offer consulting services for software developers but that aspect of the Company business never materialized. Since October 31, 2000, the Company ceased the aforementioned operations and was in the development stage until December 16, 2004, when it acquired 100% of the issued shares of Eastway Global Investment Limited (“Eastway”), which included the latter company’s wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Fujian Yuxin Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd.
Organization and Nature of Business of the Wholly Owned Operating Subsidiary
Fujian Yuxin Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Yuxin”) was incorporated under the laws of People’s Republic of China on February 18, 1993.
The principal business of Yuxin is to manufacture and distribute water dispenser systems. Yuxin owns patents of atmospheric water generation in China and utilizes patents under license that are registered in the United States. Its head office and plant facilities are located in Ron Qiao Economic Development Zone, Fuqing City, Fujian Province, P.R. China.
Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which assume that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $2,317,143 at December 31, 2007 and a net loss of $25,948,919 for the year then ended. The Company might not have sufficient work capital for the next twelve months and is dependent on financing to continue operation. These factors create substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Realization values may be substantially different from the carrying values as shown in these financial statements should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management is in the process of identifying sources for additional financing to fund the ongoing development of the Company’s business.

HENDRX CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2007
Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
Basis of presentation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“USGAAP”).
Accounting Method
The Company financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. Property, Plant and Equipment assets are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization uses the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with USGAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash that is not collateralized and accounts receivable that are unsecured. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s primary operations are located in China and due to differences in the legal system in that country compared to the United States, the Company may have limited legal recourse for recovery of credit issued in that country.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventories
Inventories consist of the manufacture of finished goods, raw materials used in production and work-in-process, and are stated at the weighted average method, on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis.

Income taxes
Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statement at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed in FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
Compensated absences
Employees of the corporation are entitled to paid vacations, sick days and other time off depending on job classification, length of service and other factors and these costs are accrued on a monthly basis.
Stock based compensation
Effective January 1, 2005, the Company adopted revised SFAS No.123(R), “Share-Based Payment” which replaces SFAS No.123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No.25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” This statement, which requires the cost of all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements, establishes fair value as the measurement objective and requires entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transaction. The statement applies to all awards granted, modified repurchased or cancelled after January 1, 2005, and unvested portion of previously issued and outstanding awards. Stock-based compensation newly issued is expensed in accordance with the fair value based method of accounting. The fair value of equity instruments issued to employees is measured on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense over the applicable vesting period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.
Earnings per Common Share
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128. Earnings Per Share which simplifies the computation of earnings per share requiring the restatement of all prior periods. The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise or conversion of warrants, options and convertible securities, if any, using the treasury stock method. The Company had 350,000 stock equivalents of warrants at December 31, 2007 (2006 -350,000) that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Common stock equivalents are not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when their effect is anti-dilutive.

Long-lived assets
The Company adopts SFAS 144 “Accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.” The Company recognizes an impairment loss only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable from its expected undiscounted cash flows and measures an impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset.
Capital assets and depreciation
Capital assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight line method based on the following estimated useful life, with a 10% residual value. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 are $75,925 and $79,917, respectively.
| Buildings | 20 years |
| Manufacturing machinery and equipment | 10 years |
| Transportation equipment | 10 years |
| Electronic equipment | 5 years |
| Leasehold Improvement | 10 years |
| Office equipment | 5 years |
Revenue recognition
Hendrx generates revenue through the sale of atmospheric water generation units to wholesale distributors or to individual consumers. Revenues are recognized only when persuasive evidence for a sales arrangement exists i.e., delivery of the product has occurred; the product price is fixed or determinable; and collection of the sale is reasonably assured.
Account Receivables
Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms. Management regularly evaluates the need for an allowance for uncollectible accounts by taking into consideration factors such as the type of clients; governmental agencies or credit lines of the client. Management has determined that allowance for bad debt will be based on a percentage of aged receivables. Allowance for bad debt at December 31, 2007 is estimated to be $0.
Research and development
Research and development costs, which include the cost of materials and services consumed and salaries and wages of personnel directly engaged in research and development, are expensed as incurred. The costs incurredwere $22,829 and $21,536 in 2007 and 2006 respectively.

Intangible assets and amortization
Land use rights
The subsidiary, Fujian Yuxin Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd., entered into an agreement on May 15, 1995 for land use rights with Fujian Fuqing Land Management Bureau for a 50 year period. These rights are recorded at the appraised value at the date of acquisition and amortized over a maximum period of 40 years.
Patents
The Company owns patents of atmospheric water generation (“AWG”) registered in the People’s Republic of China under number P200304823. The subsidiary utilizes patents under licenses that are registered in the United States under the numbers 5,106,512, 5,149,466, 5,203,989 and 5,366,705.
Costs associated with the acquisition of patents are capitalized and amortized over their useful life. Capitalized costs are subjected to a quarterly impairment test to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of the patents with their carrying amount. The estimates of fair value of the patents are determined based on an independent appraisal. If the carrying amount of the patents exceeds its fair value, management will write the patents down to their net realizable value at the time impairment appears to exist.
The patents are amortized over 15 years using the straight-line method.
Impairment of Goodwill
The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization, including goodwill, to determine whether impairment may exist. FAS-142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires that goodwill and certain intangible assets be assessed annually for impairment using fair value measurement techniques.
Specifically, goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process.
The first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of Fujian Yuxin Electronic Equipment Co. Ltd (“Yuxin”), with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The estimates of fair value of Yuxin, are determined using various valuation techniques with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis requires one to make various judgmental assumptions including assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates, and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on the Company’s budget and long-term plans. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts. Discount rate assumptions are based on an assessment of the risk inherent in the Company. If the carrying amount of Yuxin exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.

Impairment of Goodwill (cont’d)
The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of Yuxin’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of Yuxin’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination.
The Board of Directors of the Company have considered the above factors and recognized a goodwill impairment of $24,054,137 for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Financial instruments
The company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable and current liabilities. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values.
Segmented information
The Company’s identifiable assets are all located in China except cash of $15,630 in Canada and cash of $742 in Switzerland and fixed assets of $1,805 in Canada. Revenue on a geographical basis is disclosed in Note 12.
Foreign currency translation
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States Dollar. The financial statements of the Company are translated to United States Dollars in accordance with SFAS No.52 “Foreign Currency Translation”. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in RMB. Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments are included in Other Comprehensive Income and disclosed as a separate category of Stockholders’ Equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Standards No. 155 Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (SFAS 155). This standard permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS 155 allows an entity to make an irrevocable election to measure such a hybrid financial instrument at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The standard eliminates the prohibition on a QSPE from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 also clarifies which interest-only and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133, as well as determines that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Adoption of SFAS 155 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 provides guidance on the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. FIN 48 becomes effective beginning with our first quarter 2007 fiscal period. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which establishes a framework for reporting fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 becomes effective beginning with our first quarter 2008 fiscal period. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. Effective for our fiscal year ending 2006, we will be required to fully recognize the assets and obligations associated with our defined benefit plans. Effective for fiscal year ending 2008, we will be required to measure a plan’s assets and liabilities as of the end of the fiscal year instead of our current measurement date of September 30. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (cont’d)
In January 2007, we adopted FIN 48. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertain taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in an enterprise's tax return. In addition, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure related to uncertain income tax positions.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value option for Financial Assets and Financials Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB No. 115. This statements objective is to improve financial reporting by providing the Company with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s long-term measurement objective for accounting for financial instruments. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company presently comments on significant accounting policies (including fair value of financial instruments) in Note 2 to the financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An amendment of ARB No. 51. This statements objective is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require ownership interests in the subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified. The adoption of SFAS 160 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised), Business Combinations. This revision statements objective is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its effects on recognizing identifiable assets and measuring goodwill. The adoption of SFAS 141 (revised) did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 7. | COMMON STOCK (cont’d) |
The fair value of these options was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, recognizing forfeitures as they occur, using the following assumptions:
Options outstanding | 350,000 |
Stock price | $5.80 |
Risk free interest rate | 4.50% |
Expected volatility | 745% |
Expected dividend yield | $0 |
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that are fully transferable and have no vesting restrictions. The Company’s stock options are not transferable and cannot be traded. The Black-Scholes model also requires an estimate of expected volatility. The Company uses historical volatility rates of the Company to arrive at an estimate of expected volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options.

Note 13. PATENTS
In 2003, Mr. Tjandra transferred his patents of atmospheric water generation (“AWG”) to the wholly-owned subsidiary, Fujian Yuxin Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd. These patents are registered in the People’s Republic of China under the number P200304823. The subsidiary utilizes patents under licenses that are registered in the United States under the numbers 5,106,512, 5,149,466, 5,203,989 and 5,366,705.
Based on the appraisal report dated May 20, 2003 by Fujian Huayi Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd., these patents are valued at $2,068,390 (RMB 17,090,000 Yuan) and have been amortized by $324,935 to December 31, 2005.
On December 15, 2006, the Company received an independent appraisal of the patents. The appraiser gave his opinion of the value based on a 5 year projected cashflow analysis, and determined the value to be $1,238,093 (RMB 10,400,000). The net book value was higher than the fair value at December 31, 2006 and was therefore impaired. The company expensed $358,350 as an impairment of the patent to bring the book value in line with the appraisal value.
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized an additional impairment on patents of $315,508.

Legal proceedings were initiated on January 18, 2006 by Worldwide Water, LLC (“WWL”) against a number of defendants, including Hendrx, in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles, State of California, case no SC088178 for contractual fraud and patent infringement. The complaint alleges that an agreement between WWL and AirWater Corporation (“AirWater”) was contravened when AirWater contracted with Fujian Yuxin Electronic Equipment Co. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hendrx, to manufacture atmospheric water generators (“AWGs”), on an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) basis, that allegedly infringe WWL’s patents. WWL’s suit seeks damages of $1,000,000 from the defendants, including Hendrx, in addition to accrued interest and costs. Hendrx did not enter an appearance in this action. On March 17, 2006 a default judgment was entered against Hendrx. As at the date of this filing this judgment has not been set aside. Hendrx is attempting to retain and instruct counsel to have the default judgment vacated or to Hendrx denies that it is culpable. Hendrx cannot give any assurance that it will be successful in its opposition to the plaintiffs claim and may be compelled to pay all or part of any judgment against it. Even if Hendrx is a successful in having the default judgment set aside or the case reopened it will face the cost of litigation and may ultimately be unsuccessful. The Company has recorded a $1,000,000 contingent liability to account for the judgment.

ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (ITEM 9A (T)) |
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our chief executive and chief financial officers and implemented by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of their inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
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. Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007.
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 Commission that permit us to provide only the management’s report in this Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
During the period ended December 31, 2007, there has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

The board of directors has established an audit committee. However, at this time, with the limited size to our board of directors, the committee is made up of all our board members. An audit committee typically reviews, acts on and reports to the board of directors with respect to various auditing and accounting matters, including the recommendations and performance of independent auditors, the scope of the annual audits, fees to be paid to the independent auditors, and internal accounting and financial control policies and procedures. Certain stock exchanges currently require companies to adopt formal written charter that establishes an audit committee that specifies the scope of an audit committee’s responsibilities and the means by which it carries out those responsibilities.
The board of directors has not established a compensation committee.

Director Compensation
Directors currently are not reimbursed for out-of-pocket costs incurred in attending meetings nor are they compensated for their service as directors. However, we have compensated the chairman of our board of directors for the rendition of services pertinent to our operation (see the Summary Compensation Table, below). The Company may adopt a provision for compensating directors for their services in the future.
The following table provides summary information for the year 2007 concerning cash and non-cash compensation paid or accrued by the Company to or on behalf of our directors.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
The objective of the Company’s compensation program is to provide compensation for services rendered by our executive officer. Salaries are generally the only type of compensation we utilize in our executive compensation program. We utilize this form of compensation because we feel that it is adequate to retain and motivate our executive officers. The amounts we deem appropriate to compensate our executive officers are determined in accordance with market forces; we have no specific formula to determine compensatory amounts at this time. While we have deemed that our current compensatory program and the decisions regarding compensation are easy to administer and are appropriately suited for our objectives, we may expand our compensation program to any additional future employees to include stock awards, options and other compensatory elements.
