You should carefully read this entire document, including the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 5 of this prospectus and our financial statements and their related notes to those statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus before making a decision to invest in our common stock. As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “us,” “CWDK,” “the Company” or “our Company” refer to the business of Olympic Financial Trading Company Ltd.

Our Company
We operate bottled water production plants through six subsidiaries in the cities of Guangzhou (Guangdong Province), Zhanjiang (Guangdong Province), Changchun (Jilin Province), Fexian (Shandong Province), Nanning (Guangxi Province) and Shenyang (Liaoning Province). Our current production capacity is 890 million liters and is expected to be 1170 million liters at the end of 2007. In 2006, we produced 175 million bottles of purified water with a total volume of 650 million liters, constituted approximately 4% of total bottled water consumption in China. In 2006, our total revenue was US$35.7 million and our net profit was US$8.8 million.
Our principal executive offices are located at 18th Floor, Development Centre Building, Ren Min Nan Road, Shenzen, People’s Republic of China 58001. Our telephone number at that address is +86-755-25526332. Our corporate website is www.cwnd.net. Information contained on or accessed through our website is not intended to constitute and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this prospectus.
Background
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 8, 2005 as Ugods, Inc. for the purpose of pursuing mining opportunities in Canada. 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.
Beginning in February, 2007, we entered into a series of agreements with various individuals and entities which ultimately resulted in a change in our business direction. On February 12, 2007, certain individuals and entities purchased a total of 9,503,200 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing 93.83% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding common stock from Alexander Long for a purchase price of $533,925. On February 13, 2007, and February 16, 2007, we entered into (i) the Agreement for Share Exchange among the Company, Guangdong Taoda Beverage Company Limited (“Guangdong Taoda”) and Xu Hong Bin, the sole shareholder of Guangdong Taoda, dated as of February 13, 2007 and (ii) the Agreement for Share Exchange among the Company and Zhanjiang Taoda Drink Co. Limited, Changchun Taoda Beverage Co. Limited and Shandong Olympic Forward Drink Co. Limited (collectively, the “Taoda Group”) and Xu Hong Bin, the sole shareholder of Taoda Group, dated as of February 16, 2007 (such agreements shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Initial Share Exchange Agreements”) for the purpose of acquiring all of the issued and outstanding shares of Guangdong Taoda and the Taoda Group. Guangdong Taoda and the entities comprising the Taoda Group collectively own four water production plants.

On May 1, 2007, we caused to be formed a corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada called China Water and Drinks Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and on May 2, 2007, we acquired one hundred shares of Merger Sub’s common stock for cash. As such, Merger Sub became our wholly-owned subsidiary. On May 14, 2007, Merger Sub was merged with and into us. As a result of the merger, our corporate name was changed to “China Water and Drinks Inc.” We were the surviving corporation in the merger and, except for the name change provided for in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, there was no change in our directors, officers, capital structure or business.
On May 11, 2007, we entered into an Amended and Restated Share Exchange Agreement (the “Amended Share Exchange Agreement”) with Gain Dynasty Investments Limited (“Gain Dynasty”) and Mr. Xu Hong Bin, the sole shareholder of Gain Dynasty. The Amended Share Exchange Agreement amended, restated, combined superseded each of the Initial Share Exchange Agreements. Pursuant to the Amended Share Exchange Agreement, we agreed to issue to Xu Hong Bin, a total of 59,872,000 shares of our Common Stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Gain Dynasty (the “Share Exchange”). Gain Dynasty is the owner of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Olympic Forward Trading Company Limited (“Olympic”). Olympic is the owner of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Guangdong Taoda and the entities comprising the Taoda Group. On May 30, 2007, we consummated the Share Exchange, pursuant to which Gain Dynasty became our direct wholly owned subsidiary and Olympic, Guangdong Taoda and the entities comprising the Taoda Group became our indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries.
On June 15, 2007, in exchange for 1,523,578 shares of our common stock and cash equal to $5,332,522, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of a bottled water production company located at Nanning City, Guangxi Province (“Nanning”) by acquiring Pilpol (HK) Biological Limited (“Pilpol”), Nanning’s parent. Nanning’s production plant produces bottled water in bottle sizes ranging from 350 ml to 1,500 ml as well as an 18.9 liter bottle. Nanning has two production lines with a capacity of 160 million liters of bottled water per year. Nanning’s major market is the Guangxi Provice and the southwest part of China.
On August 24, 2007, we acquired 66.67% of outstanding equity of a bottled water production company located at Shenyang City, the Liaoning Province of PRC (“Shenyang” ) in exchange for cash equal to $1,060,000 and 177,300 shares of our common stock. Shenyang produces and markets its own branded bottled water in Shenyang City and cities nearby in the Liaoning Province. Shenyang has an annual production capacity of 80 million liters currently. We plan to increase Shenyang’s production capacity reaching 160 million liters annually.
On August 31, 2007, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement shareholders of Hutton Holdings Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“Hutton”) to purchase approximately 48% of the outstanding equity of Hutton through a purchase of an aggregate of 11,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value of Hutton and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock of Hutton, each of which shares of preferred stock is convertible into five shares of common stock of Hutton. The consideration we paid for the transaction was $9,000,000 in cash and 2,133,333 shares of our common stock. The transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement were consummated as of August 31 , 2007. Hutton’s major business includes the manufacturing of PET injection molding machinery and PET bottle blowing equipments, injection and bottle blowing molding production and the supply of plastic bottles to drinks companies, pharmaceutical companies and beverage packaging companies.

Financing Transaction
On June 4, 2006, the Company consummated the sale of 4,477,612 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”) to certain investors (the “Investors”) for gross proceeds of $30,000,000. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible into five shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Share Sale”). On July 12, 2007, all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock were converted into 22,388,061 shares of common stock.
In connection with the Share Sale, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors and agreed to file, within 90 days of the closing date of the Stock Sale, a registration statement registering for resale the 22,388,061 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. On August 24, 2007, a majority of the Investors consented to extend the deadline for the filing of the registration statement until September 14, 2007. The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is being filed to fulfill the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

THE OFFERING
Common stock being offered by Selling Stockholders | Up to 22,388,061 shares | |

Risk Factors | The securities offered by this prospectus are speculative and involve a high degree of risk and investors purchasing securities should not purchase the securities unless they can afford the loss of their entire investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 5. |

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, including the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of our company, before deciding to invest in our common stock. The risks described below are not the only ones facing our Company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we presently consider immaterial may also adversely affect our Company. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations and the value of our common stock could be materially and adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our expansion strategy may not be proven successful.
One of our key strategies to grow our business is to aggressively expand our production capacity and distribution channels. We will need to engage in various forms of capacity expansion activities at corporate level, and of promotional and marketing activities at operational level in order to carry out our plans. Therefore, the Company’s proposed operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in the unforeseen costs and expenses, challenges, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the formation of any new business, as well as those risks that are specific to the bottled water industry in general. Despite our best efforts, we may never overcome these obstacles to financial success. There can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts will be successful or result in revenue or profit, or those investors will not lose their entire investment
We rely on distributors to sell our products. Any delays in delivery or poor handling by distributors and third party transport operators may affect our sales and damage our reputation.
We sell our own brand “Darcunk” through distributors. We rely on these distributors for the distribution of our products. The distribution service provided by these distributors could be suspended and the supply of our products to retailers could be interrupted in the case of unforeseen events. Delivery disruptions may occur for various reasons beyond our control, including poor handling by distributors or third party transport operators, transportation bottlenecks, natural disasters and labor strikes. Poor handing by distributors and third-party transport operators could also result in damage to our products. If our products are not delivered to retailers on time, or are delivered damaged, we could lose business and our reputation could be harmed.
Supplying bottled water to beverage and service companies constitutes a major portion of our revenue. Any delays in delivery may affect our sales, damage our relationships with our customers and even cause us to incur penalties.
Sales made to beverage and service companies account for a significant portion of our total sales, especially at the beginning stages of our newly built plants. At the same time, the aggregate market demand for our product has also increased rapidly. While our production capacity is reaching to the limit of our production capacity, it is more and more of a difficult task for us to balance between production of our own brand and producing for branded beverage and drinks companies. If we fail in delivering products to those companies on time, we may risk damaging our long-term relationships with these customers.
5
Our results of operations may fluctuate due to seasonality.
Our sales are subject to seasonality factors. For example, we typically experience higher sales of bottled water in summer time in coastal cities while the sales remain constant throughout the entire year in some inland cities. In general, we believe our sales will 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. Due to these fluctuations, comparison of sales and operating results between periods within a single year, or between periods in different financial years, are not necessarily meaningful and may not present a meaningful indication of our performance.
There could be a shortage of raw materials, if governments put a water supply limit on bottled water producers.
We depend mainly on municipal water supplies to provide us with water as raw material. It is possible that municipal governments could put usage limits on bottled water producers such as in situations when water reserves for their cities are low. Our income and profits could be highly impaired if such limits are imposed.
Increases in raw material prices that we are not able to pass on to our Customers would reduce our profit margins.
The principal raw materials we use in our production, including bottle containers, caps and packaging materials, are subject to a high degree of price volatility caused by external conditions like price fluctuations of PET raw materials-the byproducts of oil, which account for a significant portion of our product cost. We cannot guarantee that the price we pay for our raw materials will be stable in the future. Price changes to our raw materials may result in unexpected increases in production, packaging and distribution costs, and we may be unable to increase the prices of our final products to offset these increased costs and therefore may suffer a reduction to our profit margins. We do not currently hedge against changes in our raw material prices.
We face increasing competition from both domestic and foreign companies, which may affect our market share and profit margin.
The bottled water industry in China is highly competitive, and we expect it to be more competitive in the future. Currently, there are more than 3,000 water brands in China, including domestic and foreign-invested enterprises. Our ability to compete against these enterprises is, to a significant extent, dependent on our ability to distinguish our products from those of our competitor by providing high quality products at reasonable prices that appeal to consumers’ tastes and preferences. Some of our competitors may have been in business longer than we have, may have substantially greater financial and other resources than we have and may be better established in their markets. Our competitors in any particular market may also benefit from raw material sources or production facilities that are closer to such markets, which provide them with competitive advantages in terms of costs and proximity to consumers.
We cannot assure you that our current or potential competitors will not provide products comparable or superior to those we provide or adapt more quickly than we do to evolving industry trends or changing market requirements. It is also possible that there will be significant consolidation in the bottled water industry among our competitors, alliances may develop among competitors and these alliances may rapidly acquire significant market share, and some of our distributors may commence production of products similar to those we sell to them. Furthermore, competition may lead competitors to substantially increase their advertising expenditures and promotional activities or to engage in irrational or predatory pricing behavior. We also cannot assure you that third parties will not actively engage in activities, whether legal or illegal, designed to undermine our brand name and product quality or to influence consumer confidence in our product. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced margins and loss of market share, any of which could materially adversely affect our profit margin. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete effectively against current and future competitors.
6
Changes in the existing laws and regulations or additional or stricter laws and regulations on environmental protection in China may cause us to incur significant capital expenditures, and we cannot assure that we will be able to comply with any such laws and regulations.
We carry on our business in an industry that is subject to PRC environmental protection laws and regulations. These laws and regulations require enterprises engaged in manufacturing and construction that may cause environmental waste to adopt effective measures to control and properly dispose of waste gases, waste water, industrial waste, dust and other environmental waste materials, as well as fee payments from producers discharging waste substances. Fines may be levied against producers causing pollution. If failure to comply with such laws or regulations results in environmental pollution, the administrative department for environmental protection can levy fines. If the circumstances of the breach are serious, it is at the discretion of the central government of the PRC including all governmental subdivisions to cease or close any operation failing to comply with such laws or regulations. There can also be no assurance that we will be able to comply with such laws or regulations. There can also be no assurance that the PRC government will not change the existing laws or regulations or impose additional or stricter laws or regulations, compliance with which may cause us to incur significant capital expenditure, which we may be unable to pass on to our customers through higher prices for our products.
Changes in existing PRC food hygiene laws may cause us to incur additional costs to comply with the more stringent laws and regulations, which could have an adverse impact on our financial position.
Manufacturers within the China bottled water industry are subject to compliance with PRC food hygiene laws and regulations. These food hygiene laws require all enterprises engaged in the production of bottled water to obtain a hygiene license for each of their production facilities. They also set out hygiene standards with respect to food processing, packaging and containers, information to be disclosed on packaging as well as hygiene requirements of food production and sites, facilities and equipment used for the transportation and sale of food. Failure to comply with PRC food hygiene laws may result in fines, suspension of operations, loss of hygiene licenses and, in more extreme cases, criminal proceedings against an enterprise and its management. Although we are in compliance with current food hygiene laws, in the event that the PRC government increases the stringency of such laws, our production and distribution costs may increase, and we may be unable to pass these additional costs on to our customers.
The outbreak of any severe contagious diseases in China, if uncontrolled, could adversely affect our results of operations.
The outbreak of any severe communicable disease in China, if uncontrolled, could adversely affect the overall business sentiments and environment in China, which in turn may lead to slower overall gross domestic product growth in China. As our sales are currently derived from our Chinese operations, any contraction or slow down in the growth of the gross domestic product of China may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and future growth. In addition, if any of our employees are infected or affected by any severe communicable diseases outbreak, it could adversely affect or disrupt our production at the relevant production facility and adversely affect our business operations as we may be required to close our production facilities to prevent the spread of the disease. The spread of any severe communicable disease in China may also affect the operations of our distributors and suppliers, causing delivery disruptions which could in turn adversely affect our operating results and share price.
7
We may not successfully manage our growth.
Our success will depend upon the expansion of our operations and the effective management of our growth, which will place a significant strain on our management and administrative, operational, and financial resources. To manage this growth, we must expand our facilities, augment our operational, financial and management systems, and hire and train additional qualified personnel. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our business would be harmed.
We rely on key executive officers. Their knowledge of our business and technical expertise would be difficult to replace.
We were founded in 1996 by Mr. Xu Hong Bin, the general manager of Olympic Forward Trading Company Limited. Since then, Mr. Xu Hong Bin and our highly experienced senior management team have developed us into a large scale bottled water production company. Mr. Xu, together with other senior management, has been the key driver of our strategy and has been fundamental to our achievements to date. The successful management of our business is, to a considerable extent, dependent on the services of Mr. Xu Hong Bin and other senior management. The loss of the services of any key management employee or failure to recruit a suitable or comparable replacement could have a significant impact upon our ability to manage our business effectively and our business and future growth may be adversely affected.
Risks Associated With This Offering
The concentrated ownership of our common stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our Company.
Our directors, officers, key personnel and their affiliates as a group beneficially own a majority of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders will be able to continue to exercise significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of mergers, acquisitions and other significant corporate transactions. Please read “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management".
We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive.
We are a public reporting company in the U.S. and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securities laws, and the compliance obligations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders will cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if we remained a privately-held company. In addition, we will incur substantial expenses in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part and related documents.
8
Because we became public by means of a “reverse merger”, we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.
Additional risks may exist since we will become public through a “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us since there is little incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of our Company in the future.
Our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC rules concerning internal controls may be time consuming, difficult and costly.
Although individual members of our management team have experience as officers of publicly-traded companies, much of that experience came prior to the adoption of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by Sarbanes-Oxley. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley’s internal controls requirements, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications that Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires publicly-traded companies to obtain.
When this Registration Statement becomes effective, there will be a significant number of shares of common stock eligible for sale, which could depress the market price of such stock.
Following the effective date of this Registration Statement, a large number of shares of common stock will become available for sale in the public market, which could harm the market price of our stock. Further, shares may be offered from time to time in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, and these sales may have a depressive effect as well. In general, a person who has held restricted shares for a period of one year may, upon filing a notification with the SEC on Form 144, sell common stock into the market in an amount equal to the greater of one percent of the outstanding shares or the average weekly trading volume during the last four weeks prior to such sale.
There is not now, and there may not ever be, an active market for our common stock.
There currently is no market for our common stock. Further, although our common stock may be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, trading of our common stock may be extremely sporadic. For example, several days may pass before any shares may be traded. There can be no assurance that a more active market for the common stock will develop.
We cannot assure you that the common stock will become liquid or that it will be listed on a securities exchange.
We plan to list our common stock on the American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Global Capital Market as soon as practicable. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of either of those or of any other stock exchange, or that it will be able to maintain any such listing. Until the common stock is listed on an exchange, we expect that it would be eligible to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, another over-the-counter quotation system, or in the “pink sheets.” In those venues, however, an investor may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of the common stock. In addition, if we failed to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations, various requirements would be imposed by law on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling the common stock, which may further affect its liquidity. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital.
9
There may be issuances of shares of preferred stock in the future.
Although we currently do not have any preferred shares outstanding, the board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends would be declared to common stockholders, and the right to the redemption of such shares, possibly together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the common stock. To the extent that we do issue preferred stock, the rights of holders of common stock could be impaired thereby, including without limitation, with respect to liquidation.
We have never paid dividends.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any for the foreseeable future.
Risks relating to doing business in China
Substantially all of our business assets are located in China, and substantially all of our sales is derived from China. Accordingly, our results of operations, financial position and prospects are subject to a significant degree to the economic, political and legal development in China.
We derive a substantial portion of ours sales from China
Substantially all of our sales are generated from China. We anticipated that sales of our products in China will continue to represent a substantial proportion of our total sales in the near future. Any significant decline in the condition of the PRC economy could adversely affect consumer buying power and reduce consumption of our products, among other things, which in turn would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Our inability to diversify our operations may subject us to economic fluctuations within our industry.
Our limited financial resources reduce the likelihood that we will be able to diversify our operations. Our probable inability to diversify our activities into more than one business area will subject us to economic fluctuations within the bottled water industry and therefore increase the risks associated with operating in the bottled water industry.
Because our assets and operations are located outside the United States and a majority of our officers and directors are non-United States citizens living outside of the United States, investors may experience difficulties in attempting to enforce judgments based upon United States federal securities laws against us and our directors. United States laws and/or judgments might not be enforced against us in foreign jurisdictions.
All of our operations are conducted through a subsidiary corporation organized and located outside of the United States, and all the assets of our subsidiaries are located outside the United States. In addition, all of our officers and directors are foreign citizens. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for U.S. investors to enforce judgments made by U.S. courts for civil liabilities against our operating entities or against any of our individual directors or officers. In addition, U.S. investors should not assume that courts in the countries in which our subsidiary is incorporated or where the assets of our subsidiary are located (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us or our subsidiary based upon the civil liability provisions of applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or our subsidiary based upon these laws.

We may not continue to receive the preferential tax treatment we currently enjoy, and dividends paid to us from our operations in China may become subject to income tax.
The rate of income tax on companies in China may vary depending on the availability of preferential tax treatment or subsidies based on their industry or location. The current maximum corporate income tax rate is 33%. Under current PRC law, a foreign-invested enterprise shall enjoy preferential enterprise income tax treatment in the PRC. A full exemption from PRC enterprise income tax applies in the first and second years a profit is made and a 50% from PRC enterprise income tax applies in the third, fourth and fifth years. Certain of our subsidiaries enjoy tax concessions due to their status as foreign-invested enterprises. However, PRC government promulgated on March 16, 2007 the Enterprise Income Tax Law that will be effective as of January 1, 2008. Pursuant to the new law, the enterprise income tax of 25% shall be apply to any enterprise, in which case the foreign-invested enterprise shall not enjoy the preferential tax treatment as before. Any loss or substantial reduction of the tax benefits enjoyed by us would reduce our net profit.
Weakened political relations between the U.S. and China could make us less attractive.
The relationship between the United States and China is subject to sudden fluctuations and periodic tension. Changes in political conditions in China and changes in the state of Sino-U.S. relations are difficult to predict and could adversely affect our operations, future business plans and profitability.
The economy of China has been experiencing unprecedented growth, which could be curtailed if the government tries to control inflation by traditional means of monetary policy or its return to planned-economy policies, any of which would have an adverse effect on the company.
The rapid growth of the Chinese economy has led to higher rates of inflation. Government attempts to control inflation may adversely affect the business climate and growth of private enterprise. In addition, our profitability may be adversely affected if prices for our products rise at a rate that is insufficient to compensate for the rise in our costs and expenses.
Our ability to implement our planned development is dependent on many factors, including the ability to receive various governmental permits.
In accordance with PRC laws and regulations, we are required to maintain various licenses and permits in order to operate our business at each of our production facilities including, without limitation, hygiene permits and industrial products production permits. We are required to comply with applicable hygiene and food safety standards in relation to our production processes. Our premises and transportation vehicles are subject to regular inspections by the regulatory authorities for compliance with the Detailed Rules for Administration and Supervision of Quality and Safety in Food Producing and Processing Enterprises. Failure to pass these inspections, or the loss of or suspend some or all of our production activities, which could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business.
The Company faces the risk that changes in the policies of the Chinese government could have a significant impact upon our ability to sustain our growth and expansion strategies.
Since 1978, the PRC government has promulgated various reforms of its economic system and government structure. These reforms have resulted in significant economic growth and social progress for China in the last two decades. Many of the reforms are unprecedented or experimental, and such reforms are expected to be modified from time to time. Although we can not predict whether changes in China’s political, economic and social conditions, laws, regulations and policies will have any materially adverse effect on our current or future business, results of operation or financial condition.
11
Our ability to continue to expand our business is dependent on a number of factors, including general economic and capital market conditions in China and credit availability from banks and other lenders in China. Recently, the PRC government has implemented various measures to control the rate of economic growth and tighten its monetary policies. Slower economic growth rate may in turn have an adverse effect on our ability to sustain the growth rate we have historically achieved due to the aggregate market demand for consumer goods like bottled water.
Changes in the conversion rate between the Renminbi and foreign currencies, such as the United States dollar may adversely affect our profits.
We conduct our business utilizing Chinese Renminbi as well as United States dollars and other currencies. The Renminbi (“RMB”) is not a freely convertible currency. The State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under authority of the People’s Bank of China controls the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies. The value of the RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange trading system market. Neither we nor our subsidiaries have a formal hedging policy with respect to foreign exchange exposure. In the future, we may hedge exchange transactions after considering the foreign currency amount, exposure period and the transaction costs.
Chinese foreign exchange controls may limit our ability to utilize the revenues of our Chinese subsidiaries effectively and receive dividends and other payments from our Chinese subsidiaries.
Our operating subsidiaries are subject to Chinese rules and regulations on currency conversion. The Chinese government regulates the conversion of the RMB into foreign currencies. Currently, foreign investment enterprises, are required to apply for authority (renewed annually) to open foreign currency accounts governing conversion for payment of dividends, limited capital items such as direct investments, loans and issuances of securities, some of which may be effected with governmental approval, while others require authorization.
The ability of our operating subsidiaries to remit funds to us may be limited by these restrictions. There can be no assurance that the relevant regulations in China will not be amended so as to adversely affect the ability of our operating subsidiaries to remit funds to us.
Failure to comply with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may adversely affect our business operations.
On October 21, 2005, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange issued a new public notice which became effective on November 1, 2005. The notice requires PRC residents to register with the local State Administration of Foreign Exchange branch before establishing or controlling any company, referred to in the notice as a “special purpose offshore company”, outside of China for the purpose of capital financing. PRC residents who are shareholders of a special purpose offshore company established before November 1, 2005 were required to register with the local State Administration of Foreign Exchange Branch. Our beneficial owners need to comply with the relevant the State Administration of Foreign Exchange requirements in all material respects in connection with our investments and financing activities. If such beneficial owners fail to comply with the relevant the State Administration of Foreign Exchange requirements, such failure may subject the beneficial owners to fines and legal sanctions and may also adversely affect our business operations.

CORPORATE OVERVIEW
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 8, 2005 as Ugods, Inc. for the purpose of pursuing mining opportunities in Canada. 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.
Beginning in February, 2007, we entered into a series of agreements with various individuals and entities which ultimately resulted in a change in our business direction. On February 12, 2007, certain individuals and entities purchased a total of 9,503,200 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing 93.83% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding common stock from Alexander Long for a purchase price of $533,925. On February 13, 2007, and February 16, 2007, we entered into (i) the Agreement for Share Exchange among the Company, Guangdong Taoda Beverage Company Limited (“Guangdong Taoda”) and Xu Hong Bin, the sole shareholder of Guangdong Taoda, dated as of February 13, 2007 and (ii) the Agreement for Share Exchange among the Company and Zhanjiang Taoda Drink Co.

Guangdong Taoda and the entities comprising the Taoda Group have four water production plants.
On May 11, 2007, we entered into the Amended Share Exchange Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) with Gain Dynasty and Xu Hong Bin, the sole shareholder of Gain Dynasty. The Amended Exchange Agreement amended, restated, combined and superseded each of the Initial Share Exchange Agreements. Pursuant to the Amended Exchange Agreement we agreed to acquire 100% of the equity of Gain Dynasty in exchange for 59,872,000 shares of our common stock (the “Share Exchange”).
On May 14, 2007, we changed our name to China Water and Drinks, Inc. through a merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary.
On May 30, 2007, we consummated the Share Exchange, pursuant to which Gain Dynasty became our direct wholly owned subsidiary and Olympic, Guangdong Taoda and the entities comprising the Taoda Group became our indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries.
On June 15, 2007, in exchange for 1,523,578 shares of our common stock and cash equal to $5,332,522, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of a bottled water production company located at Nanning City, Guangxi Province by acquiring Pilpol (HK) Biological Limited, Nanning’s parent. Nanning’s production plant produces bottled water in bottle sizes ranging from 350 ml to 1,500 ml as well as an 18.9 liter bottles. Nanning has two production lines with a capacity of 160 million liters of bottled water per year. Nanning’s major market is the Guangxi Province and the southwest part of China.

Shenyang produces and markets its own branded bottled water in Shenyang City and cities nearby in the Liaoning Province. Shenyang has an annual production capacity of 80 million liters currently. We plan to increase Shenyang’s production capacity to 160 million liters annually before the end of 2007.

FINANCING TRANSACTION
On May 31, 2007, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors for the sale of an aggregate of 4,477,612 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for aggregate gross proceeds equal to $30,000,000 in a series of transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act. The Share Sale was consummated on June 4, 2007.
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible into five (5) shares of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to adjustment. On the date of the consummation of the Share Sale, however, the Company did not have a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock available to accommodate conversions of shares of the Preferred Stock. The Company and the Investors agreed that the shares of Preferred Stock would automatically be converted into shares of the Common Stock on the second trading day following the filing with the State of Nevada of an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company from 70,000,000 to 150,000,000 shares.

The Securities Purchase Agreement also provides that the Investors shall have the right, by written notice to the Company, to demand that the Company pay to them, as liquidated damages, their entire investment amount in the Company in the event that either (i) any governmental agency in the People’s Republic of China challenges or otherwise takes any action that adversely affects the transactions contemplated by the Amended Share Exchange Agreement, and the Company cannot undo such governmental action or otherwise remedy the material adverse effect caused thereby so that the transaction contemplated by the Amended Share Exchange Agreement can legally occur to the reasonable satisfaction of the Investors or (ii) at any time prior to the time that a registration statement with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the shares of Series A Preferred Stock sold to the Investors in the Share Sale is effective (A) for any or no reason either the NASD or the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) takes any action which has the effect of suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement of the Company filed with the Commission or (B) the Common Stock is not listed on a trading market.
16
In connection with the Share Sale, the Company has agreed to provide the Investors rights to register for resale the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The Registration Rights Agreement also requires the Company to register for resale any shares of Common Stock that may be released to the Investors pursuant to the terms of the Make Good Escrow Agreement (as defined below). Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series Preferred Stock issued to the Investors in the Share Sale by no later than the date which is 90 days after the consummation of the Share Sale. On August 24, 2007, a majority of the Investors consented to extend the deadline for the filing of the registration statement until September 14, 2007. In the event that the Company does not file timely such registration statement and/or in the event that such registration statement is not declared effective on or prior to the date which is 180 days after the consummation of the Share Sale, the Company will be required to pay liquidated damages to each Investor in an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate investment amount originally paid by such Investor for each month during which the Company has not complied with its registration obligations up to a maximum of 10% of such Investor’s investment amount.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We are a licensed bottled water producer in China. We produce and market bottled water in China using the brand name “Darcunk”. We also supply bottled water products to beverage companies and servicing companies, including Coca-Cola and Uni-President. In addition, we provide private label bottled water production service for companies and servicing industry.
We operate six bottled water production plants in China. The six plants are located in the cities of Guangzhou (Guangdong Province), Zhanjiang (Guangdong Province), Changchun (Jilin Province), Feixian (Shandong Province), Nanning (Guangxi Province) and Shenyang (Liaoning Province). Each production plant has two production lines: one production line produces bottle-sized (350ml-1500ml) bottled water and the other production line produces carboy-sized (18.9L) bottled water. We can produce a variety of bottled water products including purified water, mineralized water, oxygenated water and other specialized bottled water such as those added with vitamins. Our major market is China. Currently, our products are sold in 11 provinces of China including the Guangdong Province, the Guangxi Province, the Shandong Province, the Heilongjiang Province, the Jilin Province, the Shanxi Province, the Shaanxi Province, the Gansu Province, the Liaoning Province, the Anhui Province and the Sichuan Province.
17
Our Products
We produce purified bottled water from raw materials to end product. We produce the plastic bottles and use drinking water supplied by municipal water supplies or natural water collected from streams, lakes and wells. Before we fill the bottles with water, we process the water through a series of procedures in accordance with industrial standards and the standards set by the customers. Clarification, pre-filtration, final filtration, UV radiation, sterilization are basic but necessary steps in water processing. Special treatment and additional processing such as oxy-hydrating or water softening is applied according to different product requirements. After water is filled into the bottle, the bottled water will undergo the final stage of quality and hygiene check. The bottled water is then packaged and delivered. All our bottles are made of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate). PET bottles are well known for their high standards in the industry and is superior to the traditional PVC bottle and glass bottle because it is clearer, lightweight, durable, and is more resistant to heat and chemicals. We produce a wide range of bottled water sizes in volume from 350ml to 18.9L.
Our products are bottled water of different volumes with different bottles. We produce small bottled water of volume from 350ml to 1.5L, which bottles are used one time and carboy sized bottled water of 18.9L with returnable bottle. In 2006, small bottled water composed 87% of our turnover in amount and the carboy sized bottle water contributes the remaining 13%.
Our Market
Our major market is customers in China. China has faced drinking water issues for a long time because of the scarcity of water resources due to the large population and the uneven geographic distribution of water resources. In addition, the pollution problem has grown, resulting from the modernization in China during the last 20 years. Nowadays, 300 million people in China cannot obtain potable water. In case of natural disasters or accidents which cause severe water shortage outbreaks, bottled water is the only source of drinking water. From 2000 to 2005, the demand for bottled water in China has had an average compound growth rate of 16.5% according to the Beverage Marketing Corporation. As there is no short-term plan for improving the availability of water resources and the quality of municipal water supply system, the demand for bottled water in both quality and quantity is expected to growth continuously.
Sales and Marketing
We primarily market and sell our branded product, “Darcunk” bottled water, through major regional distributors. We have signed regional exclusive distribution contracts with distributors so that they distribute our products into lower level distributors and retailers and work on our behalf for any marketing campaign that we plan. We leverage the resources of top level distributors for our marketing campaign execution and information dissemination so that we can optimize our resources according to our scale of production capacity and products geographical coverage. Currently most of our marketing campaigns are held at the points of sales. We have maintained a very small marketing team and marketing budget so that we are able to concentrate our effort in production capacity enlargement and geographical product availability.
18
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Our short term strategy is to increase our product availability in both quantity and geographical coverage. We are focusing our efforts in:
· increasing the production capacity of our current production facilities;
· increasing our production and products presence in China;
· expanding distribution channels for our own branded products, “Darcunk” bottled water.
In June 2007, we completed a private placement of our convertible preferred stock for gross proceeds of $30 million. The proceeds were used in part to finance the execution of our plan to expand our production plants located at Changchun City and Guangzhou City, which are reaching their maximum production capacity. We believe that this expansion may adequately increase our production capacity. In addition, we plan to use a portion of the proceeds to finance the acquisition of 2-3 additional bottled water companies into our production network with the desire to expand our product penetration in new geographic markets. We have already acquired one bottled water company located in Nanning City of Guangxi Province on June 15, 2007 and 66.67% of the outstanding equity of another bottled water production company located at Shenyang City, the Liaoning Province on August 24, 2007. On August 31, 2007, we have also acquired approximately 48% of the outstanding equity of Hutton Holdings Corporation. Hutton is a major supplier of PET injection molding machinery, PET bottle blowing equipments, injection and bottle blowing molds which are major equipments of bottled water and drinks production. We believe this acquisition can secure us a supply of equipment and enhance our production technology, thus saving us costs in the long-run. We also secured a piece of land in Changchun City for the expansion of our plant there in July 2007. We expect that the new plant in Changchun City will commence operations in November 2007. We estimate that we will have an aggregated production capacity of 1170 million liters at the end of 2007.
We are now actively sourcing the land resource in Guangzhou City to execute our production plant expansion plan. In addition, we are looking for more acquisition opportunities.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). US GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
We believe the following is among the most critical accounting policies that impact our consolidated financial statements. We suggest that our significant accounting policies, as described in our consolidated financial statements in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, be read in conjunction with this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
19
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.

REVENUE. During the second quarter of 2007, sales revenue increased from $8,830,226 for the second quarter of 2006 to $12,498,646 for the second quarter of 2007, representing a 41.54% increase. The increase in revenue was mainly due to the following factors: First, demand for bottled water generally has continuously grown in China. Second, we have expanded our production facility and storage spaces in the second quarter so that we can fulfill more orders from our distributors and our customers, such as beverage and servicing companies. Third, the newly acquired Nanning facility contributed additional revenue in the quarter for the short period of time in which its results were included in our consolidated revenue for the period.
Management believes that growth of revenue can sustain in the remaining months of 2007 due to (i) continued growth in the consumption of bottled water which can increase our sales to both beverage companies and our own distribution network, (ii) continued enhancement of our branding and profiling in China, (iii) further implementation of our expansion strategy intended to increase our availability in both area coverage, product range and quantity of products produced, and (iv) continued positive revenue contributions to our results by the newly acquired Nanning production plant.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Business Overview
We are an OTCBB trading company (CWDK.OB) which was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 8, 2005 as Ugods, Inc for the purpose of pursuing mining opportunities in Canada. We were considered an exploration stage company. In February of 2005 we acquired interest in 14 mining claims registered with the district office in Atlin, B.C.

Our current production capacity is 890 million liters and is expected to be 1170 million liters at the end of 2007. In 2006, the company produced 175 million bottles of purified water with a total volume of 650 million liters, constituted around 4% of total bottled water consumption in China. In 2006, the total revenue of the Company was US$35.7 million and the net profit of the Company was US$8.8 million.
Product description
Our bottled water is sealed in sterilized containers that meet government hygiene standards. There are three major types of bottled water: natural mineral water, spring water and purified water. The PRC government has set standards to categorize each type of water. Due to the scarcity of sources of natural mineral water and spring water, purified water is the most popular bottled water type in the PRC market.
We produce purified bottled water from raw material to end product. We produce the container, plastic bottles, and use drinking water supplied by municipal water supplies or natural water collected from streams, lakes and wells to manufacture bottled water. Before filling into the bottle, water is processed through a series of procedures in accordance with industrial standard and the standards set by the customers. Clarification, pre-filtration, final filtration, UV radiation, sterilization are basic but necessary steps in processing water. Special treatment and additional processing such as oxy-hydrating or water softening is applied according to different product requirements. After water is filled into the bottle, bottled water will undergo the final stage of quality and hygiene check. The bottled water is then packaged and delivered. All bottles produced are PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) bottles. PET bottle is well known for its high standard in the industry and is much superior to the traditional PVC bottle and glass bottle because it is much clearer, lightweight, durable, good resistance to heat and chemicals. We produce a wide range of bottled water sizes in volume from 350ml to 18.9L.
27
We have three sources of revenue:
· | bottled water production on behalf of other drinks and beverage companies such as Coca-Cola, Uni-President and JianLiBao; |
· | bottled water production for corporations such as Sands, the Macau Casino; and |
· | bottled water production in our own brand |
Marketing and Sales
Water resources per capita in China only reaches 28% of the world average. In the past 20 years, water resources in northern China have been decreasing due to the impact of climate change and human activity. In 2005, a senior official estimated that 360 million people in China were without safe water supplies. Tap water is unstable in quality. Industrial wastewater treatment has not been completely established, which causes grave water pollution problem. A large amount of wastewater is directly discharged into water bodies. Quality degradation occurs in water-rich areas. Safety in drinking water is one of the most concerned topics in China. The situation is not expected to improve and the drinking water issue will not be easily solved in the near future.
China’s bottled water industry started to grow as drinking water of China began to deteriorate. The market grew at a compound rate of around 37% yearly from 1994 to 2005. In 1994, the total production capacity in China was 300 million liters. In 2005, the total capacity reached nearly 14 billion liters.
We supply bottled water for drink and beverage companies. Major customers include Coca-Cola (USA), Uni-President (Taiwan) and JianLiBao (China). We are one of the few qualified suppliers for Coca-Cola to produce products from raw material to end product out of Coca-Cola’s premises. Being a supplier of Coca-Cola, we are recognized as one of the leading bottled water suppliers in China. We also market to the service industry such as hotels and bus companies. We provide total solutions from bottle design, production and packaging to delivery for the service industry. We produce bottled water under the brand “Darcunk” and distributes through local distribution network also.
To strengthen our competitive advantage, we are focusing the effort in:
· | increasing production capacity; |
· | enlarging product availability coverage to cope with the demand of the market and its growth ; |
· | expanding distribution channel for its own branded products |

Industry and Market Overview
China’s bottled water industry started in 1930 and had one brand of bottled water until middle of 70s. In 80s, the bottled water industry began to develop and reached a total production capacity of 5 million liters. Since 90s, the industry took off and had a total production capacity of 300 million liters and 2 billion liters in 1994 and in 1997 respectively. In 2005, the total capacity reached nearly 14 billion liters. From 1994 to 2006, the growth rate of the industry was more than 37% yearly1. The total production capacity of bottled water in China and its growth rate is in figure shown below.

Figure 1 Total production capacity of bottled water in China and its growth rate
(Source: Compass Information, 2007-2008 Research Report of China drinking water market)
In 2003, the top three brands of bottled water (Wahaha, Nong Fu Spring and Robust) accounted for around 57% of total market share2. While the market is concentrated in several brands, there are still more than 3,000 bottled water brands in China. Every bottled water plant has a limited perimeter of servicing area owing to the high transportation cost. The penetration rate of a brand of bottled water is bounded by the geographical coverage and production capability of their plants. The structure of the market is formed by two layers of companies, the branding companies and production companies. The first layer composes of those which have marketing, distribution and branding capabilities. The second layer is those who produce bottled water. Although some branding companies also build plants themselves, they still need production companies to fill in their production gaps and fill in the locations that their facilities do not cover. The PRC market is so large and fast growing. No single company can cover all locations by building their own plants alone.
Contrary, production companies market their products via distribution networks and retail shops within their covered regions. They have developed various marketing strategies such as price differentiation, good customer service and customer loyalty program. This phenomenon is more prominent in carboy size bottled water market.

Competition
A number of foreign drinks and beverage companies have acquired some local companies before and after China joined the World Trade Organization (“WTO”). The WTO agreement also allows foreign investors invest and participate in the industry.
While there are around 3,000 bottled water brands in China, only about 280 bottled water companies compete with our scale. While the market is big and is growing in high rate, the demand of bottled water is elastic. The customers are price sensitive in nature and are concerned with quality and hygiene standard of the bottled water they buy. Bottled water companies mainly compete in price, perceived quality and hygiene standard, branding and availability. Owing to the high transportation cost, every bottled water plant has a limited perimeter of servicing area. Most up to scale bottled water companies cannot fully penetrate the Chinese market by solely building their own production plants. They increase their availability by building their own plants and outsourcing their production to other bottled water suppliers in order to increase their products’ availability. Due to the high demand of the market, low penetration rate of bottled water production facilities and food safety regulation of the industry, competition between up to standard bottled water should be moderate in the coming 5-10 years.
Competitive Advantages
· | Strong Relationship with Brands |
Coca-Cola’s bottled water production is fully outsourced to three companies namely Taoda, Zhan Fu and Wei Tung. Taoda is our wholly owned subsidiary and is supplying largest volume of bottled water to Coca-Cola amongst the three companies. As the long term sponsor of Olympic Games, Coca-Cola cited in 2003 that they will expand their penetration rate five times before the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. We have been successful in expanding and capturing the growth of market by aligning with Coca-Cola’s China plan.
· | Top Graded Production Capability and Quality Control |
As a long term supplier of Coca-Cola and other world class drinks and beverage companies, we are required to comply with the rigid standard set by Coca-Cola’s customers. Our plants are required to be audited by independent assessors on compliance in procedures, quality, standards and hygiene periodically. As a result, our plants and products are top graded and of world standard in contrast to most of local bottled water production plants which are workshop with minimal supervision in quality.
· | Strong Market Demand and Growth |
We are updating our production line to be fully automatic. The updated production line is expected to reduce the number of workers in the plants so as to reduce the impact of the shortage of worker supply and increase the production yield and efficiency.
Government Regulation
Manufacturers within the China bottled water industry are subject to compliance with PRC food hygiene laws and regulations. These food hygiene laws require all enterprises engaged in the production of bottled water to obtain a hygiene license for each of their production facilities. They also set out hygiene standards with respect to food processing, packaging and containers, information to be disclosed on packaging as well as hygiene requirements of food production and sites, facilities and equipment used for the transportation and sale of food.
31
We carry on our business in an industry that is subject to PRC environmental protection laws and regulations. These laws and regulations require enterprises engaged in manufacturing and construction that may cause environmental waste to adopt effective measures to control and properly dispose of waste gases, waste water, industrial waste, dust and other environmental waste materials, as well as fee payments from producers discharging waste substances. Fines may be levied against producers causing pollution.
The rate of income tax chargeable on companies in China may vary depending on the availability of preferential tax treatment or subsidies based on their industry or location. The current maximum corporate income tax rate is 33%. Under current PRC law, a foreign-invested enterprise shall enjoy preferential enterprise income tax treatment in the PRC. A full exemption from PRC enterprise income tax applies in the first and second years a profit is made and a 50% from PRC enterprise income tax applies in the third, fourth and fifth years. Certain of our subsidiaries enjoy tax concessions due to their status as foreign-invested enterprises.
PRC Food and Hygiene Regulatory System
The laws regulating the production, distribution and sale of bottled water in the PRC include the Food Hygiene Law of the PRC, the Environmental Protection Law of the PRC and other laws and regulations relating to the hygiene of export food and standardizing bottled water products in the PRC. Certain important provisions of the above laws and regulations relating to the bottled water industry are set out below.
Food Hygiene Law
The Food Hygiene Law, which promulgated in 1995, is the principal law regulating food production and processing and its supervision. The Food Hygiene Law sets out the hygiene standards for the production of food, food additives, food packaging and containers; and the prescribed contents of food packaging labels. It also stipulates hygiene requirements in respect of premises, facilities and equipment for the production, transport and sale of food.
The Ministry of Health is responsible for the regulation and supervision of food hygiene in the PRC. The Food Hygiene Law requires all enterprises proposing to be involved in food production and processing to obtain a hygiene license from the relevant local department of the Ministry of Health before they can register their enterprise with the relevant Local Administration for Industry and Commerce, which is responsible for issuing the business license. Enterprises can not begin food production and processing activities without first obtaining a hygiene license.
If an enterprise fails to comply with the provision of the Food Hygiene Law, the Ministry of Health may issue a warning notice or rectification order, confiscate the proceeds earned as a result of the unlawful behavior, impose a fine, order the enterprise to cease production and operation, recall and destroy the food already sold or revoke the enterprise’s hygiene license. In more extreme cases where harm has been caused to human health, criminal proceeding may be initiated against the enterprise and its management.
Regulation by the Administration of Production Licenses for Industrial Products.
Regulation by the Administration of Production Licenses for Industrial Products began on September 1, 2005, whereby the PRC required a production license for companies manufacturing important industrial products, including bottled water products. Under this system, companies are not permitted to manufacture such products before they obtain a production license. Any enterprise or individual shall not sell or use such products without obtaining the necessary product licenses.
32
According to the Production License Administrative Regulation, upon application for a production license, a spot test and product inspection, as well periodic supervisory inspections are conducted. To date, we have passed all such spot tests and product inspections but have yet to be subject to any supervisory inspections.
Environmental Protection Law
The Environmental Protection Law, promulgated in 1989, establishes a basic legal framework for environmental protection in the PRC. The purposes of the Environmental Protection Law are to protect and enhance the living environment, prevent and cure pollution and other public hazards, and safeguard human health. The State Environment Protection Administration is responsible for the overall supervision and administration of environmental protection work at the national level and the environmental protection bureaus at the county level and above are responsible for environmental protection in their respective jurisdictions.
Enterprises causing environmental pollution and other public hazards are required to adopt environmental protection measures in their operations and to establish responsibility systems for environmental protection. These enterprises are also required to adopt effective measures to prevent and control environmental pollution and hazards caused by the discharge of wasted gas, waste water, waste solids, dust, foul-smelling gases and radioactive matter, as well as by noise, vibration, and magnetic radiation in the course of production, construction or other activities.
Enterprises discharging pollutants must report to and register with the State Environment Protection Administration or the relevant local environmental protection department. Enterprises discharging pollutants in excess of the standards set by the State Environment Protection Administration will be responsible for eliminating the pollution and will be charged a fee for excessive discharge.
Government authorities can impose various types of penalties on persons or enterprises who are in violation of the Environmental Protection Law depending on the circumstances and extent of pollution. Penalties can include issuing a warning notice, imposing fines, setting a time limit for rectification, suspending production, ordering, reinstallation and operation of environmental protection facilities which have been dismantled or left unused, imposing administrative sanctions against management in charge, or ordering the termination and closure of enterprises or institutions conducting such operations. In cases where the pollution causes physical damage, compensation may be paid to victims. In serious cases, those who are directly responsible may be subject to criminal liability.
In accordance with the requirement of the Environmental Protection Law, we have installed the necessary environmental protection equipment, adopted advance environmental protection technologies, established responsibility systems for environmental protection, and reported to and registered with the relevant local environmental protection department. We have complied with the relevant law and have never paid a fee for excessive discharge pollutants.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Stockholders of our common stock and any of their pledges, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
· | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
· | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
· | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
· | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
· | privately negotiated transactions; |
· | settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus; |
· | broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
· | a combination of any such methods of sale; |
· | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or |
· | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. Each Selling Stockholder does not expect these commissions and discounts relating to its sales of shares to exceed what are customary in the types of transactions involved.
In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
42
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock.
The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Because the Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. Each Selling Stockholder has advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer regarding the sale of the resale shares. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) two years from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part or (ii) the date on which the Selling Stockholders have disposed of all resale shares in accordance with the methods of distribution contemplated hereby. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our common stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of our common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION
ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
The following is a summary of the relevant provisions in our articles of incorporation, bylaws and Nevada law with regard to limitation of liability and indemnification of our officers, directors and employees that. The full provisions are contained in the Nevada Revised Statutes and such documents.
Indemnification Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by our articles of incorporation, our bylaws and the Nevada Revised Statutes. Article 12 of our articles of incorporation provides for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and agents for expenses incurred in connection with the defense of actions, suits or proceedings to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. Our bylaws and Nevada laws permit us to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he has exercised his powers in good faith and with a view to the interests of the corporation; or acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
We will indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amount paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
Limitation of Liability. Our articles of incorporation limit the liability of our directors and officers under certain circumstances. Article 13 of our articles of incorporation provides that no director or officer of the company will be liable to the company or to the stockholders for damages for any breach of fiduciary duty; provided, however, that a director or officer will be liable for damages which result from any of the following: Acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law or the payment of any improper dividend or distribution.
We believe that the indemnity and limitation of liability provisions contained in our bylaws and in our certificate of incorporation are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons for those positions. No pending material litigation or proceeding involving our directors, executive officers, employees or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought exists, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any of our directors or executive officers.
46
We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against these types of liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter if it were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, both of which are likely to materially reduce the market and price for our shares.
47
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Lewis and Roca LLP , Las Vegas, Nevada.

OLYMPIC FORWARD TRADING COMAPANY LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. | Guangdong Taoda Drink Co., Limited |

3. | Changchun Taoda Beverage Co., Limited |
4. | Shandong Olympic Forward Drink Co., Limited |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Economic and Political Risk
The Company’s major operations are conducted in China “PRC”. Accordingly, the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, as well as the general state of the PRC’s economy may influence the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The Company’s major operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic, and legal environment. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
F-6
(a) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains bank accounts in Hong Kong and China through its wholly owned subsidiaries.
(c) | Accounts Receivable |
Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred. The Company has recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2006. There were no bad debts incurred during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.
(d) | Inventories |
Inventories consisting of raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor and a portion of overhead. Inventory costs are calculated using a weighted average, first in first out (FIFO) method of accounting.
(e) | Property, Plant and Equipment |
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to the statement of income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. The cost and the related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income.
(f) | Land Use Right |
According to the law of PRC, the government owns all the land in PRC. Companies or individuals are authorized to possess and use the land only through land use rights granted by the PRC government for 40 to 50 years.
Land use right represent the cost for purchasing the right to use the leasehold land for the production facilities of Shandong Olympic Forward Drink Co., Limited. It is stated at cost less amortization. Land use rights are being amortized using the straight-line method over the lease term of 8 years.
Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $11,564 for each year.
(g) | Depreciation and Amortization |
The Company provides for depreciation of plant and equipment principally by use of the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Plant and equipment are depreciated over the following estimated useful lives:
Building | 25 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 5 - 7 years |
Machinery and equipment | 3 - 5 years |
Transportation equipment | 5 - 7 years |
F-7
The depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 amounted to $296,905 and $384,369, respectively.
(h) | Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. There were no impairments of long-lived assets for the periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.
(i) Income Tax
The Company has adopted the provisions of statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which incorporates the use of the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. The Company allows for recognition of deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future realization is uncertain.
In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of PRC and Hong Kong, the corporation income tax rate applicable ranges from 17.5% to 33%. At times generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to recognize certain income and expenses that do not conform to the timing and conditions allowed by the PRC. The Company's income tax expense for year ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were both zero.
(j) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company's cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. Term debt secured by various properties have interest rates attached to them commensurate with the finance market at the time and management believes approximate fair values in the short as well as the long term. It is currently not practicable to estimate the fair value of the other debt obligations because these note agreements contain unique terms, conditions, covenants and restrictions which were negotiated at arm's length with the Company's lenders, and there is no readily determinable similar instrument on which to base an estimate of fair value. Accordingly, no computation or adjustment to fair value has been determined.
(k) | Revenue Recognition |
Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold recognized upon the shipment of goods to customers. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
a) | Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, |
b) | Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, |
F-8
c) | The seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and |
d) | Collectibility is reasonably assured. |
(l) | Earnings Per Share |
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, there was no dilutive security outstanding.
(m) | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
(n) | Retirement Benefits |
The country of PRC mandates companies to contribute funds into the national retirement system, which benefits qualified employees based on where they were born within the country. The Company pays the required payment of qualified employees of the Company as a payroll tax expense. Very few employees in the Company fall under the mandatory conditions requiring the Company to pay as a payroll tax expense into the retirement system of the PRC. The Company provides no other retirement benefits to its employees.
(o) | Comprehensive Income |
Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income includes net income and the foreign currency translation gain, net of tax.
(p) Foreign Currency Translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB). Capital accounts of the consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates as of balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate of the year. The translation rates are as follows:
2006 | 2005 | ||||||
Year end RMB : US$ exchange rate | 7.807 | 8.070 | |||||
Average yearly RMB : US$ exchange rate | 7.939 | 8.201 |
F-9
On July 21, 2005, the PRC changed its foreign currency exchange policy from a fixed RMB/$ exchange rate into a flexible rate under the control of the PRC's government.
The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US dollars ($) at the rates used in translation.
(q) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Below is a listing of the most recent accounting standards SFAS 150-154 and their effect on the Company.
Statement No. 150
Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (Issued 5/03)
This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.
Statement No. 151
Inventory Costs-an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 (Issued 11/04)
This statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “…under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight and re-handling costs may be so abnormal ass to require treatment as current period charges….” This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.

The guidance in that Opinion, however, includes certain exceptions to the principle. This Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Economic and Political Risk
The Company’s major operations are conducted in China (“PRC”). Accordingly, the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, as well as the general state of the PRC’s economy may influence the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The Company’s major operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic, and legal environment. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains bank accounts in Hong Kong and China through its wholly owned subsidiaries.
(c) Accounts Receivable
Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred. The Company has recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $274,017 for six months ended June 30, 2007 and for the year ended December 31, 2006. There were no bad debts incurred for six months ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006.
(d) Inventories
Inventories consisting of raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor and a portion of overhead. Inventory costs are calculated using a weighted average, first in first out (FIFO) method of accounting.
(e) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to the statement of income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. The cost and the related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income.
(f) Land Use Right
According to the law of the PRC, the government owns all the land in the PRC. Companies or individuals are authorized to possess and use the land only through land use rights granted by the PRC government for 40 to 50 years.
Land use rights represent the cost for purchasing the right to use the leasehold land for the production facilities of Shandong Olympic Forward Drink Co., Limited. It is stated at cost less amortization. Land use rights are being amortized using the straight-line method over the lease term of 8 years.
Amortization expense was $11,564 for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
F-22
(g) Depreciation and Amortization
The Company provides for depreciation of plant and equipment principally by use of the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Plant and equipment are depreciated over the following estimated useful lives:
25 years | |
Furniture and fixtures | 5 - 7 years |
3 - 5 years | |
Transportation equipment | 5 - 7 years |
The depreciation expenses for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $137,625 and $148,453, respectively.
(h) Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. There were no impairments of long-lived assets for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
(i) Income Tax
The Company has adopted the provisions of statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which incorporates the use of the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. The Company allows for recognition of deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future realization is uncertain.
In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of PRC and Hong Kong, the applicable corporation income tax rate ranges from 17.5% to 33%. At times generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to recognize certain income and expenses that do not conform to the timing and conditions allowed by the PRC. The Company incurred no income tax expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
(j) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company's cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. Term debt secured by various properties have interest rates attached to them commensurate with the finance market at the time and management believes approximate fair values in the short as well as the long term. It is currently not practicable to estimate the fair value of the other debt obligations because these note agreements contain unique terms, conditions, covenants and restrictions which were negotiated at arm's length with the Company's lenders, and there is no readily determinable similar instrument on which to base an estimate of fair value. Accordingly, no computation or adjustment to fair value has been determined.
F-23
(k) Revenue Recognition
Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold recognized upon the shipment of goods to customers. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
a) | Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, |
b) | Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, |
c) | The seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and |
d) | Collectibility is reasonably assured. |
(l) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, there was no dilutive security outstanding.
(m) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
(n) Retirement Benefits
The PRC mandates companies to contribute funds into the national retirement system, which benefits qualified employees based on where they were born within the country. The Company pays the required payment of qualified employees of the Company as a payroll tax expense. Very few employees in the Company fall under the mandatory conditions requiring the Company to pay as a payroll tax expense into the retirement system of the PRC. The Company provides no other retirement benefits to its employees.
(o) Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income includes net income and the foreign currency translation gain, net of tax.
F-24
(p) Foreign Currency Translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (US$). The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB) and Hong Kong dollar (HK$). Capital accounts of the consolidated financial statements are translated into US$ from RMB and HK$ at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates as of balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate of the year. The translation rates are as follows:
June 30, 2007 | December 31, 2006 | ||||||
Year end RMB : US$ exchange rate | 7.605 | 7.807 | |||||
Average yearly RMB : US$ exchange rate | 7.807 | 7.939 | |||||
Year end HK$ : US$ exchange rate | 7.800 | 7.800 | |||||
Average yearly HK$ : US$ exchange rate | 7.800 | 7.800 |
The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the rates used in translation.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Our officers, directors and employees are indemnified as provided by our articles of incorporation, bylaws and Nevada law. Please refer to ‘‘Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities’’ for a description of such indemnification provisions.
Our articles of incorporation limit the liability of our directors and officers under certain circumstances. Article 12 of our articles of incorporation provides that no director or officer of the company will be liable to the company or to the stockholders for damages for any breach of fiduciary duty; provided, however, that a director or officer will be liable for damages which result from any of the following: acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law or the payment of any improper dividend or distribution.
We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against these types of liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter if it were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, both of which are likely to materially reduce the market and price for our shares.
OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION
The estimated expenses payable by the Registrant in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered are as follows:
SEC Registration Fee | $ | 6,118 | ||
Printing Expenses * | 5,000 | |||
Legal Fees and Expenses * | 100,000 | |||

Undertaking Required by Item 512 of Regulation S-B.
(a) The undersigned registrant will:
(1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement; and notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(b) For determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the registrant or used or referred to by the registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the registrant to the purchaser.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
