Note 1- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of China Du Kang Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries, (the “Company” or "Du Kang") were prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Management of the Company (“Management”) believes that the following disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes for the year ended December 31, 2009.
These unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of Management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.
Note 2- ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND
China Du Kang Co., Ltd (“China Du Kang” or the “Company”) was incorporated as U. S. Power Systems, Inc., in the State of Nevada on January 16, 1987. On or about June 8, 2006 the Company’s name was changed to Premier Organic Farms Group, Inc. On or about November 30, 2006 the name was changed to Amstar Financial Holdings, Inc. (“AFLH”). On or about March 18, 2008 the name was changed to its current name of China Du Kang Co., Ltd. with its corporate charter still residing in Nevada. The Company changed its fiscal year ending from September 30 to December 31 in February 2008.
The Company had been engaged in the business to provide various financial services since it's incorporated. The Company was not successful and discontinued the majority of its operation by December 31, 2007.
On January 10, 2008, the Company entered into a Plan of Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Hong Kong Merit Enterprise Limited (“Merit”), a holding company incorporated in Hong Kong. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to issue post split 88,000,000 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of Merit in exchange for Merit to transfer all of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock to the Company, thereby causing Merit to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The parties closed the transaction contemplated by the Agreement on February 11, 2008.
This transaction is being accounted for as a reverse merger, since the shareholders of Merit owns a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock immediately following the share exchange. Merit is deemed to be the acquirer in the reverse merger. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will reflected in the consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the share exchange will be those of Merit and its subsidiaries and will be recorded at the historical cost basis. After completion of the share exchange, the Company‘s consolidated financial statements will include the assets and liabilities of both Du Kang and Merit, the historical operations of Merit and the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries from the closing date of the share exchange.
Merit was incorporated on September 8, 2006 in Hong Kong under the Companies Ordinances as a Limited Liability company. Merit was formed for the purpose of seeking and consummating a merger or acquisition with a business entity organized as a private corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship.
Page 7
On January 22, 2008, Merit entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the owners of Shaanxi Huitong Food Co., Inc. ("Huitong"), a limited liability company incorporated in the People's Republic of China ("PRC") on August 9, 2007 with a registered capital of $128,200 (RMB1,000,000). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Merit agreed to purchase 100% of the equity ownership in Huitong for a cash consideration of $136,722 (RMB 1,000,000). The local government approved the transaction on February 1, 2008. Subsequent to the completion of the acquisition, Huitong became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Merit.
Huitong was formed for the purpose of seeking and consummating a merger or acquisition with a business entity organized as a private corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship. On December 26, 2007, Huitong executed an acquisition agreement with shareholders of Shaanxi Xidenghui Technology Stock Co., Ltd. ("Xidenghui"), whereby Huitong agreed to acquire 98.24% of the equity ownership of Xidenghui from the shareholders. Subsequent to completion of the acquisition agreement, Xidenghui became a majority-owned subsidiary of Huitong.
Xidenghui was incorporated in Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, PRC on March 29, 2001 under the Company Law of PRC. Xidenghui was engaged in the business of production and distribution of distilled spirit with a brand name of “Xidenghui”. Currently, its principal business is to hold an equity ownership interest in Shannxi Baishui Dukang Liquor Co., Ltd. (“Baishui Dukang”) and Shaanxi Baishui Dukang Liquor Brand Management Co., Ltd. (“Brand Management”).
Baishui Dukang was incorporated in Baishui County, Shanxi Province, PRC on March 1, 2002 under the Company Law of PRC. Baishui Dukang was principally engaged in the business of production and distribution of distilled spirit (liquor) with a brand name of “Baishui Du Kang”. On May 15, 2002, Xidenghui invested inventory and fixed assets with a total fair value of $ 4,470,219 (RMB 37,000,000) to Baishui Dukang and owns 90.51% of Baishui Dukang’s equity interest ownership, thereby causing Baishui Dukang to become a majority-owned subsidiary of Xidenghui.
On October 30, 2007, Xidenghui executed an agreement with Mr. Zhang Hongjun, a PRC citizen, to establish a joint venture, Shaanxi Baishui Dukang Liquor Brand Management Co., Ltd. ("Brand Management"). Pursuant to the agreement, Xidenghui contributed cash of $95,704 (RMB 700,000), and owns 70% equity interest ownership therein. Brand Management was subsequently incorporated on November 12, 2007. Upon the completion of incorporation, Brand Management became a majority-owned subsidiary of the Xidenghui. Brand Management is principally engaged in the business of distribution of Baishui Dukang’s liquor and manage the franchise of the “Baishui Du Kang” brand name.
Baishui Dukang and Brand Management are the two of these affiliated companies that are engaged in business operations. Du Kang, Merit, Huitong, and Xidenghui are holding companies, whose business is to hold an equity ownership interest in Baishui Dukang and Brand Management. All these affiliated companies are hereafter referred to as the "Company". Currently, the Company is principally engaged in the business of production and distribution of distilled spirit with the brand name of “Baishui Dukang”. The Company also franchises the brand name to other liquor productors. The Company's structure is summarized in the following chart.

Under the PRC regulations on acquisition of businesses, commonly referred to as "SAFE" regulations (State Administration of Foreign Exchange), which were jointly adopted on August 8, 2006 by six PRC regulatory agencies with jurisdictional Authority, a Chinese entity may not be owned or controlled directly by foreign investors or shareholders but may be acquired in a two-step transaction with a wholly owned foreign enterprise (“WOFE”).
China Du Kang is the US holding company for Merit, a Hong Kong entity organized under the Companies Ordinance as a limited liability company. Merit was established as a WOFE corporation for the purpose of effecting an acquisition transaction with Huitong, a WOFE corporation incorporated in PRC. Huitong in turn contracted with Xidenghui, which was a Chinese holding company. Xidenghui had two subsidiaries, Baishui Dukang and Brand Management.
Page 9
This arrangement provides separate holding companies for the United States, Hong Kong, and PRC. This allows the Company to lawfully conduct operations in China while ownership is represented in shares of the U. S. holding company.
Note 3- CONTROL BY PRINCIPAL OWNERS
The directors, executive officers, their affiliates, and related parties own, directly or indirectly, beneficially and in the aggregate, the majority of the voting power of the outstanding capital of the Company. Accordingly, directors, executive officers and their affiliates, if they voted their shares uniformly, would have the ability to control the approval of most corporate actions, including approving significant expenses, increasing the authorized capital and the dissolution, merger or sale of the Company's assets.
Note 4- GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $17,485,512 at March 31, 2010 that includes losses of $55,383 for the three monthes ended March 31, 2010 and $597,872 for the year ended December 31, 2009. In addition, The Company had a working capital deficiency of $13,491,305 and a shareholders' deficiency of $7,188,342 at March 31, 2010. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management has taken steps to revise the Company's operating and financial requirements. The Company is actively pursuing additional funding and a potential merger or acquisition candidate and strategic partners, which would enhance owners' investment. However, there can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company's existing stockholders.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company relied heavily for its financing needs on its affiliates, shareholders/directors as more fully disclosed in Note 12.
Note 5- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). This basis of accounting differs from that used in the statutory accounts of the Company, which are prepared in accordance with the "Accounting Principles of China " ("PRC GAAP"). Certain accounting principles, which are stipulated by US GAAP, are not applicable in the PRC GAAP. The difference between PRC GAAP accounts of the Company and its US GAAP consolidated financial statements is immaterial.
Page 10
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its majority-owned subsidiaries which require consolidation. Inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain amounts in the prior year's consolidated financial statements and notes have been revised to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results when ultimately realized could differ from those estimates.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on May 14, 2010. We are not aware of any significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this report that would have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Foreign Currencies Translation
The Company maintains its books and accounting records in PRC currency "Renminbi" ("RMB"), which is determined as the functional currency. Transactions denominated in currencies other than RMB are translated into RMB at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”) prevailing at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than RMB are translated into RMB using the applicable exchange rates quoted by the PBOC at the balance sheet dates. Exchange differences are included in the statements of changes in owners' equity. Gain and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in operations.
The Company’s financial statements are translated into the reporting currency, the United States Dollar (“US$”). Assets and liabilities of the Company are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at each reporting period end. Contributed capital accounts are translated using the historical rate of exchange when capital is injected. Income and expense accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from translation of these consolidated financial statements are reflected as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity.
Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the statement of changes in owners’ equity and amounted to $(453,521) and $(452,408) as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at March 31, 2010 were translated at 6.836 RMB to $1.00 USD as compared to 6.837 RMB at December 31, 2009. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were 6.836 RMB and 6.841 RMB, respectively.
Page 11
Statement of Cash Flows
In accordance with FASB ASC 830-230, “Statement of Cash Flows”, cash flows from the Company’s operations is calculated based upon the functional currency. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes its revenues net of sales taxes and sales-related taxes. In accordance with the FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition , the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, transfer of title and the risks and rewards of ownership have occurred or services have been rendered and accepted, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
(1)
Sales of Liquor
The Company generally sells liquor to liquor distributors with which the Company executed an exclusive distributor contract, pursuant to which the distributor cannot act as a distributor for any other products of the third party. The Company recognizes liquor sales revenue when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred pursuant to PRC law, including such factors as when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, sales and value-added tax laws have been complied with, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company generally recognizes revenue from sales of liquor when its products are shipped.
The Company does not provide an unconditional right of return, price protection or any other concessions to our customers. Sales returns and other allowances have been immaterial in our operation.
(2)
Franchise Fees
(a)
Franchise fees from liquor manufactures
We authorize liquor manufacturers who comply with our requirements to use certain sub brand names of “Baishui Dukang” to process the production of liquor and to sell to customers within the designated area in a certain period of time. The amount of franchise fee varies based on the sales territory and the number of sub brand names. We generally collect the entire franchise fee when the franchise contract is executed, and then recognize franchise fee revenue over the beneficial period described by the contract, as the revenue is realized or realizable and earned.
(b)
Franchise fees from liquor stores
We also authorize liquor stores who comply with our requirements to exclusively sell certain sub brand names of “Baishui Dukang” products within the designated area in a certain period of time. The amount of franchise fee varies based on the sales territory and the number of sub brand names. We generally collect the entire franchise fee when the franchise contract is executed, and then recognize franchise fee revenue over the beneficial period described by the contract, as the revenue is realized or realizable and earned.
Page 12
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of prepayments to the Company for products that have not yet been delivered to the customers or services have not yet been rendered and accepted. Payments received prior to satisfying the Company’s revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue.
Cost of Franchise Fees
Costs of franchise fees principally include the costs to prepare the franchise contracts and the payroll to employees who are responsible for inspection and monitoring the franchisees. These expenses are immaterial and therefore included in the general and administrative expenses.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits in banks with maturities of three months or less, and all highly liquid investments which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have original maturities of three months or less.
Others Receivable
Others receivable principally includes advance to employees who are working on projects on behalf of the Company. After the work is finished, they will submit expense reports with supporting documents to the accounting department. Upon being properly approved, the expenses are debited into the relevant accounts and the advances are credited out. Cash flows from these activities are classified as cash flows from operating activities.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality institutions. Deposits held with banks in PRC may not be insured or exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and therefore bear minimal risk.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates their fair value due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Actual cost is used to value raw materials and supplies. Finished goods and work-in-progress are valued on the weighted-average-cost method. Elements of costs in finished good and work-in-progress include raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead.
Baishui Dukang, one of our subsidiaries, is engaged in the distillery business. Pursuant to the production requirement, it generally stores some newly generated inventory, mainly the work-in-progress, “liquor base”, which is newly distilled from sorghum, beyond one year. We reclassify this portion of inventory as non-current assets, as more fully disclosed in Note 7.
Page 13
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized.
When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets without residual value. The percentages or depreciable life applied are:
Building and warehouses
20 years
Machinery and equipment
7-10 years
Office equipment and furniture
5 years
Motor vehicles
5 years
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets without residual value. The percentages or amortizable life applied are:
Land use right
50 years
Trade Mark
10 years
Land Use Right
All land belongs to the State in PRC. Enterprises and individuals can pay the State a fee to obtain a right to use a piece of land for commercial purpose or residential purpose for an initial period of 50 years or 70 years, respectively. The land use right can be sold, purchased, and exchanged in the market. The successor owner of the land use right will reduce the amount of time which has been consumed by the predecessor owner.
The Company owns the right to use a piece of land, approximately 657 acre, located in Weinan City, Shaanxi Province for a fifty-year period ended February 9, 2051. The costs of these land use rights are amortized over their prospective beneficial period, using the straight-line method with no residual value.
Valuation of Long-Lived assets
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. 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.
Page 14
Long-term Investment
On March 1, 2006, Xidenghui executed an investment agreement with Shaanxi Yichuan Nature Park Co., Inc., pursuant to which, Xidenghui agreed to invest cash of $1,596,254 (RMB 12,000,000) to establish a joint-venture named Huanghe Shidi Park Co., Inc., and owns 7.9% equity ownership interest therein. Huanghe Shidi Park Co., Inc. is engaged in the business of recreation and entertainment.
Xidenghui finished the investment contribution in September 2007. As the project is currently ongoing, the Management believes the amount invested approximates the fair value and uses the cost method to record the investment.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred or the first time the advertising takes place in accordance with the FASB ASC 720-35, “Advertising Costs”. The advertising costs were $7,753, and $12,108 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs relating to the development of new products and processes, including significant improvements and refinements to existing products, are expensed when incurred in accordance with the FASB ASC 730, Research and Development. Research and development costs were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Value-added Tax ("VAT")
Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). All of the Company’s products that are sold in PRC are subject to a Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 17% of the gross sales price or at a rate approved by the Chinese local government. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid on purchase of raw materials included in the cost of producing the finished goods. The Company presents VAT on a net basis.
Sales Tax
Baishui Dukang produces and distributes distilled liquor, which is subject to sales tax in PRC. Sales tax rate is $0.14 (RMB1.00) per kilogram and 10%-20% of gross sales revenue. The Company presents sales tax on a net basis.
Related Parties
For the purposes of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the party or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where the Company and the party are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or other entities.
Page 15
Due from/to Affiliates
Due from/to affiliates represent temporally short-term loans to/from affiliates, which are directly or indirectly, beneficially and in the aggregate, majority-owned and controlled by directors and principal shareholders of the Company. These loans are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment, therefore, deemed payable on demand. Cash flows from due from related parties are classified as cash flows from investing activities. Cash flows from due to related parties are classified as cash flows from financing activities.
Loans from Directors and Officers
Loans from directors and officers are temporally short-term loans from our directors and officers to finance the Company’s operation due to lack of cash resources. These loans are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment, therefore, deemed payable on demand. Cash flows from these activities are classified as cash flows from financing activates.
Lease
On March 4, 2002, Baishui Dukang signed a lease agreement with Shaanxi Sanjiu Dukang Liquor Production Co., Ltd ("Sanjiu"), pursuant to which Baishui Dukang agreed to lease the liquor production facility of Sanjiu, including all the fixed assets and the piece of land that the fixed assets attached, for a period of 20 years, which was latterly extended to 30 year. On February 3, 2005, Sanjiu was acquired by Shannxi Baishui Dukang Liquor Development Co., Ltd. On April 30, 2005, Baishui Dukang signed a supplemental lease agreement with Shannxi Baishui Dukang Liquor Development Co., Ltd, pursuant to which Baishui Dukang agreed to continue to lease the liquor production facility for the rest of the original 30-year period. Baishui Dukang also agreed to pay $362,450 (RMB 3,000,000) to continue the lease and to absorb the pension and unemployment insurance expenses of Sanjiu's original employees. Baishui Dukang amortized the 362,450 (RMB 3,000,000) over a 27-year beneficial period and included into the rental expense. Baishui Dukang paid $39,961 and 40,600 for Sanjiu's original employees' pension and unemployment insurance expenses in the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Sanjiu had ceased operating when we executed the lease agreement. The Management believed that all the fixed assets had felt within the last 25 percent of their total estimated economic life. In addition, although the lease term is a 30-year period, the land use right include in the leased property has a beneficial life of 50-year. Therefore, we account for the lease as an operating lease as it does not meet any of the four criteria described in FASB ASC 840-10-25-1.
Pursuant to the lease agreement, Baishui Dukang is required to absorb the pension and unemployment insurance expenses of Sanjiu's original employees until they all reach their retirement age. Pursuant to the applicable laws in PRC, male employees retire when they reach 60 years old, while female employees retire when they reach 55 years old. Accordingly, Sanjiu’s original employees will gradually retire until Year 2032. The pension and unemployment insurance expenses are based on a certain percentage of the employees’ gross payroll. The percentage may be changed as the applicable law is amended. In practice, the expenses can be based on the local average salary published by the local government. Over the life of the lease, the Management anticipates the percentage will remain the same while the local average salary will increase 8% annually. The number of employees that we need to absorb their pension and unemployment insuranc e expenses will gradually decrease as Sanjiu’s original employees reach their retirement ages. At December 31, 2009, to the best of our estimation, we anticipate the future payment for pension and unemployment insurance expenses for Sanjiu’s original employees as rental payment follows:

Pension and Employee Benefits
Full time employees of the PRC entities participate in a government mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, unemployment insurance, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. Chinese labor regulations require the Company to accrue for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees' salaries. The Management believes full time employees who have passed the probation period are entitled to such benefits. The total provision for such employee benefits was $172 and $9,903 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Government Subsidies
The Company records government grants as current liabilities upon reception. A government subsidy revenue is recognized only when there is reasonable assurance that the Company has complied with all conditions attached to the grant. The Company recognized government subsidy of $0 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respecrively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income tax in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10-25, which requires the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company has accumulated deficit in its operation. Because there is no certainty that we will realize taxable income in the future, we did no record any deferred tax benefit as a result of these losses.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted a new FASB guidance, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The new FASB guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The new FASB guidance also provides guidance on de-recognition of tax benefits, classification on the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. In accordance with the new FASB guidance, the Company performed a self-assessment and concluded that there were no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its consolidated financial statements.
The Company accounts for income taxes in interim periods in accordance with FASB ASC 740-270, "Interim Reporting". The Company has determined an estimated annual effect tax rate. The rate will be revised, if necessary, as of the end of each successive interim period during the Company's fiscal year to its best current estimate. The estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income (or loss) at the end of the interim period.
Statutory Reserves
Pursuant to the applicable laws in PRC, PRC entities are required to make appropriations to three non-distributable reserve funds, the statutory surplus reserve, statutory public welfare fund, and discretionary surplus reserve, based on after-tax net earnings as determined in accordance with the PRC GAAP, after offsetting any prior years’ losses. Appropriation to the statutory surplus reserve should be at least 10% of the after-tax net earnings until the reserve is equal to 50% of the Company's registered capital. Appropriation to the statutory public welfare fund is 5% to 10% of the after-tax net earnings. The statutory public welfare fund is established for the purpose of providing employee facilities and other collective benefits to the employees and is non-distributable other than in liquidation. Beginning from January 1, 2006, enterprise is no more required to make appropriation to the statutory public welfare fund. The Company does not make appropriations to the discretionary surplus reserve fund.
Since the Company has been accumulating deficiency, no contribution has been made to statutory surplus reserve fund and statutory public welfare reserve fund to date. The company will be required to make contribution to the statutory surplus reserve fund and statutory public welfare reserve fund upon the achievement of positive retained earnings, which means elimination of accumulated deficit and making further positive net income.
Comprehensive Income
FASB ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying statements of changes in owners' equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.
Segment Reporting
FASB ASC 820, “Segments Reporting”, establishes standards for reporting information about
operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. The Company currently operates in two principal business segments.
Page 18
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” , which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) 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. There are no potentially dilutive securities outstanding (options and warrants) for the three monthes ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Fair Value of Measurements
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level hierarchy. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1:
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:
Input other than quoted market prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, and reasonably available. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs reflect the assumptions that the Company develops based on available information about what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability.
An asset or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Availability of observable inputs can vary and is affected by a variety of factors. The Company uses judgment in determining fair value of assets and liabilities and Level 3 assets and liabilities involve greater judgment than Level 1 and Level 2 assets or liabilities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, that provides amendments to the criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. As a result of these amendments, multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements will be separated in more circumstances than under existing U.S. GAAP. The ASU does this by establishing a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence is available. A vendor will be required to determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis. This ASU also eliminates the residual method of allocation and will require that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the
Page 19
arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates any discount in the overall arrangement proportionally to each deliverable based on its relative selling price. Expanded disclosures of qualitative and quantitative information regarding application of the multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement guidance are also required under the ASU. The ASU does not apply to arrangements for which industry specific allocation and measurement guidance exists, such as long-term construction contracts and software transactions. The ASU is effective beginning January 1, 2011. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, that reduces the types of transactions that fall within the current scope of software revenue recognition guidance. Existing software revenue recognition guidance requires that its provisions be applied to an entire arrangement when the sale of any products or services containing or utilizing software when the software is considered more than incidental to the product or service. As a result of the amendments included in ASU No. 2009-14, many tangible products and services that rely on software will be accounted for under the multiple-element arrangements revenue recognition guidance rather than under the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the ASU, the following components would be excluded from the scope of software revenue recognition guidance: the tangible element of the product, sof tware products bundled with tangible products where the software components and non-software components function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality, and undelivered components that relate to software that is essential to the tangible product’s functionality. The ASU also provides guidance on how to allocate transaction consideration when an arrangement contains both deliverables within the scope of software revenue guidance (software deliverables) and deliverables not within the scope of that guidance (non-software deliverables). The ASU is effective beginning January 1, 2011. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on how companies should measure liabilities at fair value under ASC 820. The ASU clarifies that the quoted price for an identical liability should be used. However, if such information is not available, a entity may use, the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities traded as assets, or another valuation technique (such as the market or income approach). The ASU also indicates that the fair value of a liability is not adjusted to reflect the impact of contractual restrictions that prevent its transfer and indicates circumstances in which quoted prices for an identical liability or quoted price for an identical liability traded as an asset may be considered level 1 fair value. This ASU is effective October 1, 2009. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a mat erial effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended its guidance on accounting for variable interest entities ("VIE"). Among other things, the new guidance requires a qualitative rather than a quantitative analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a VIE; requires continuous assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE; enhances disclosures about an enterprise's involvement with a VIE; and amends certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a VIE. Under the new guidance, a VIE must be consolidated if the enterprise has both (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This new guidance will be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first ann ual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, and for interim periods within that first annual reporting period. Earlier application is prohibited. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Page 20
In May 2009, the FASB issued new accounting and disclosure guidance for recognized and non-recognized subsequent events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. The new guidance also requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. The new accounting guidance was effective for our Company beginning with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, and is being applied prospectively. This change in accounting policy had no material impact on our financial statements.

Note 19- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingent Liability from Prior Operation
Prior to the merger with Hong Kong Merit Enterprise Limited on February 11, 2008, the Company has not been active since discontinuing its financial service operations by December 31,2007. Management believes that there are no valid outstanding liabilities from prior operations. If a creditor were to come forward and claim a liability, the Company has committed to contest such claim to the fullest extent of the law. No amount has been accrued in the financial statements for this contingent liability.
The Company’s assets are located in PRC and revenues are derived from operations in PRC.
In terms of industry regulations and policies, the economy of PRC has been transitioning from a planned economy to market oriented economy. Although in recent years the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reforms, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of sound corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in PRC are still owned by the Chinese government. For example, all lands are state owned and are leased to business entities or individuals through governmental granting of Land Use Rights. The Chinese government also exercises significant control over PRC’s economic growth through the allocation of resources and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. Uncertainties may arise with changing of governmental policies and measures.
The Company faces a number of risks and challenges not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe, since its assets exist solely in the PRC, and its revenues are derived from its operations therein. The PRC is a developing country with an early stage market economic system, overshadowed by the state. Its political and economic systems are very different from the more developed countries and are in a state of change. The PRC also faces many social, economic and political challenges that may produce major shocks and instabilities and even crises, in both its domestic arena and in its relationships with other countries, including the United States. Such shocks, instabilities and crises may in turn significantly and negatively affect the Company's performance.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AS OF MARCH 31, 2010 AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS THEN ENDED (UNAUDITED)
We experienced a net loss of $(55,383) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to a loss of $(167,994) for the same period of 2009. Adjustments to reconcile the net loss to cash provided by operating activities included $(6,309) for minority interest for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $(13,952) for the same period of 2009. Depreciation decreased to $32,135 from $39,094 for the same respective periods. Also, amortization increased to $2,454 from $2,451.

Overall, net cash used by operating activities improved from $(306,024) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $209,982 for the same period of 2010.
Purchase of fixed assets for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $(12,345) to $(27,953) for the same period of 2010. The payback of loans to related parties accounted for $(394,358) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and $0 for the same period of 2010. The net cash used by investing activities were $(406,703) and $(27,953) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2010 respectively.
Net cash used by financing activities changed from $258,711 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $(576,551) for the same period of 2010. The change was attributable to loans from related parties in the period of 2009. Payback of loans from related parties went from $(33,405) at March 31, 2009 to $(283,984) for the same period of 2010. Bank loans were $292,116 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and $0 for the same period of 2010. Payback of bank loans was $0 and $(292,567) for the same respective periods. The change in cash declined from $(454,016) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $(394,522) for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Cash at the end of the period for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $298,227 and $289,027 for the same period of 2010.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010
Revenue
Total revenues for the period ended March 31, 2010 were $490,242 as compared to $321,294 for the same period of 2009. These include sales of liquor, which were $290,404 for the period ended March 31, 2010 and $209,407 for the same period of 2009. The franchise fees in the period ended March 31, 2010 were $199,838 and $111,887 for the same period of 2009.
Operating Expenses
Expenses from operations totaled $259,793 and $273,941 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, respectively. The losses from operations improved from ($165,903) to ($29,005) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively. Most of the improvements can be
Page 27
attributed to the decrease of office expenses from $25,332 for the period ended March 31, 2009 to $8,684 for the same period of 2010. Similarly, payroll improved from $60,501 to $51,255 for those same periods, as well as depreciation and amortization expenses from $41,545 in 2009 to $34,589 in 2010. Rental expenses were $40,600 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and $39,961 for the same period of 2010. Other general and administrative expenses decreased from $8, 575 to $1,723 for the same respective periods. Employee benefit and pension also declined from $9,903 at March 31, 2009 to $172 for the same period of 2010. Increases in expenses occurred in professional and consultancy fees from $1,461 for the period ended March 31, 2009 to $35,034 in the same period of 2010. Travel and entertainment went from $34,571 to $45,848 for the comparable periods. Total general and administrative expenses improved slightly from $229,468 to $224,349 for the same periods.
Selling Expenses
Total selling expenses improved from $44,473 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $35,444 for the same period of 2010. Advertising expenses improved from $12,108 to $7,753 for the respective periods, as did travel and entertainment expense from $14,759 to $484 in the respective periods. Package design expenses decreased from $12,760 in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $0 in the same period of 2010. Increased expenses were incurred in promotion expenses from $4,846 for the period ended March 31, 2009 to $27,207 for the same period of 2010.
We have historically funded our cash needs through a series of debt transactions, primarily with related parties. Our officers and directors and related parties have assured us that they will continue to provide capital infusions sufficient to fund operations over the next 12 months as needed, but they are under no legal obligation to do so. If our related parties are unable or unwilling to provide additional capital infusions we would likely require additional financing which would likely be on more unfavorable terms. If we are unable to attain additional capital there would likely be a material adverse affect on our operations and financial condition.
The related-parties include affiliates and individuals. Affiliates are companies which are directly or indirectly, beneficially and in the aggregate, majority-owned and controlled by directors, officers, and principal shareholders of the Company. Individuals include our officers, shareholders, and prior directors of subsidiaries.
Loans from related-parties are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment, therefore, deemed payable on demand. Accordingly, we have not paid any interest on these loans. Cash flows from due from related parties are classified as cash flows from investing activities. Cash flows from due to related parties are classified as cash flows from financing activities.
Our liquidity is dependent upon the continuation of and expansion of our operations, receipt of revenues and additional infusions of capital provided by equity and debt financing. Management believes that the current program of sales through distributorship agreements will improve throughout 2010 and that margins overall will continue to improve thereby. Demand for our products is dependent on market acceptance of our liquor and conditions in the liquor and general beverage markets, and general economic conditions. All of our products are currently sold in the Peoples Republic of China and are heavily dependent on the economy, exchange rates, and consumption habits within the Peoples Republic of China. Many of these factors are cyclical and beyond the control of management.
Page 28
CAPITAL RESOURCES
General
Access to short and long term sources of cash is important to the continuation of our research and development and commencement of our operations. Our ability to operate is limited by our financial capacity to obtain cash and additional lines of credit in the future.
Total assets for the periods ending December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010 were $9,867,391 and $9,496,059 respectively. Total current assets declined for the same periods from $3,567,686 to $3,193,096, which mostly occurred because of a decrease in cash and cash equivalents from $619,472 at December 31, 2009 to $289,027 at March 31, 2010 and in prepaid expenses from $506,992 to $195,139. For the same respective periods, other receivables declined form $67,134 to $16,152. Short-term inventory increased from $1,262,522 in December 2009 to $1,581,033 for the same respective periods. Due from related parties remained essentially unchanged with $1,111,566 at December 31,2009 to $1,111,745 at March 31, 2010.
Property, plant and equipment declined from $2,688,550 at December 31, 2009 to $2,620,856 at March 31, 2010. For the same respective periods long term inventory increased from $1,432,074 to $1,509,192 as we store more “wine base” for the future production. Liabilities decreased from December 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010 from $16,999,234 to $16,684,401. We had bank loans of $292,517 at December 31, 2009. Amounts due to related parties were the most significant change of current liabilities increasing from $15,095,908 at December 31, 2009 to $14,814,356 at March 31, 2010, as we paid off some loans from related-parties.
Shareholder Equity
Shareholders equity for the periods ending March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were $(7,188,342) and $(7,131,843) respectively.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We do not employ derivative financial instruments and have no foreign exchange contracts. Our financial instruments are primarily cash and cash equivalents, but also include receivables, payables, long term debts, and short term notes. We do not try to manage risk of foreign exchange rates or engage in hedging activities.
Foreign Exchange Rates
All of our sales are in the Chinese currency, Renminbi (RMB) but our financial reporting is in U. S. dollars. We are therefore subject to the fluctuations in foreign exchange rates in our reporting requirements. While exchange rates between RMB and USD have been relatively stable, there can be no assurance that changes in foreign exchange rates will not have a material adverse impact on our financial reporting. The impact could express itself in reduced revenues and reduced or eliminated earnings, which could have a negative effect on the prices for our securities.
Page 29
The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at March 31, 2010 were translated at 6.836 RMB to $1.00 USD as compared to 6.837 RMB at December 31, 2009. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rate.
Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the statement of changes in owners’ equity and amounted to $(453,521) and $(452,408) as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were 6.836 RMB and 6.841 RMB, respectively.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the “Certifying Officers”) are responsible for maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures. The controls and procedures established by us are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.
To evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, we have adopted the framework prescribed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). We believe that this framework will assist in the provision of reasonable assurance of the effectiveness and efficiency of operations, the reliability of financial reporting, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. In adopting the COSO framework, we maintain a control environment, perform risk assessments, carry out control activities, emphasize quality information and effective communication, and perform monitoring. In the maintenance of a control environment, we are committed to integrity and ethical values as well as to competence. We strive to assign authority and responsibility in a manner that supports our internal controls, and we also maintain human resources policies and procedures de signed to support our internal controls. Our risk assessments are designed to ensure the achievement of company-wide and process-level objectives as well as to identify and analyze risks while managing change. We believe that all of these components together form a foundation for sound internal control through directed leadership, shared values and a culture that emphasizes accountability for control.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Certifying Officers evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Certifying Officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Certifying Officers have also concluded, based on our evaluation of our controls and procedures that as of December 31, 2009, our internal controls over financial reporting are effective and provide a reasonable assurance of achieving their objective.
Page 30
Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements under all potential conditions. Therefore, effective internal control over financial reporting provides only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that a restatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.
ITEM 4(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Conclusions regarding disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are the Company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate in ternal control over financial reporting.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-14(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act as of December 31, 2009, and, based on their evaluation, as of the end of such period, the our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by the Annual Report,
(b) Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. It is management’s responsibilities to establish and maintain adequate internal controls over the Company’s financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the issuer’s management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
Page 31
and includes those policies and procedures that:
·
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer; and
·
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management of the issuer; and
·
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
As of the end of the period covered by the Annual Report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of the end of the period covered by the Report.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to re duce, though not eliminate, this risk.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
(c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We are not presently involved in any litigation that is material to our business. We are not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceedings. In addition, none of our officers, directors, promoters or control persons has filed or been involved for the past five years:
l
in any bankruptcy petition
l
in any conviction of a criminal proceeding or involved in a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and minor offenses)
l
is subject to any order, judgment or decree enjoining, barring suspending or otherwise limiting their involvement in any type of business, securities, or banking activities,
l
or has been found to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law.
There have been nosecurities trading suspensions by any regulator, and there is no pending or threatened litigation for which the adverse effect, assuming an unfavorable outcome, would exceed$25,000.
The Company’s prior CEO, Howard Wayland, Jr.,filed for protection from creditors under Chapter 7 of theUnited States Bankruptcy Code in Houston,TX. Mr.Waylandresigned as CEO in 2008 and resigned as a director prior to filing the petition. Mr. Wayland discharged, among other things, various guarantees he had made in connection with the prior operations of the Company.
We may be subject to, from time to time, various legal proceedings relating to claims arising out of our operations in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, or results of operations of the Company.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the following factors, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described below are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
OUR AUDITORS HAVE NOTED THERE IS CERTAIN DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE AS A GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $17,485,512 at March 31, 2010 that includes losses of $55,383 for the three monthes ended March 31, 2010 and $597,872 for the year ended December 31, 2009. In addition, The Company had a working capital deficiency of $13,491,305 and a shareholders' deficiency of $7,188,342 at March 31, 2010. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Page 33
Management has taken steps to revise the Company's operating and financial requirements. The Company is actively pursuing additional funding and a potential merger or acquisition candidate and strategic partners, which would enhance owners' investment. However, there can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company's existing stockholders.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
WE HAVE HAD LOSSES FROM OPERATIONS AND ANTICIPATE TO ACHIEVE PROFIT THROUGH THE INCOME AND DECREASE THE LOSSES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
Since inception we have had limited revenues from operation. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 totaled $ 490,242 as compared to $321,294 for the same period in 2009. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 we experienced a loss from operations of $(29,005) as compared to a loss of $(165,903) for the same prior in 2009. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009 totaled$ 1,987,659as compared to $1,143,195 for the year ended 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2009 we experienced a loss from operations of $(541,404) as compared to a loss of $(1,510,538) for the prior year. We have not achieved profitability. We expect to incur significant operating expenses and, as a result, will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, which may not occur. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase profitability on an ongoing basis.
OUR CURRENT SHAREHOLDERS CONTROL OUR BUSINESS AFFAIRS IN WHICH CASE YOU WILL HAVE LITTLE OR NO PARTICIPATION IN OUR BUSINESS.
Our principal stockholders owns a majority of our common stock. As a result, they will have control over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders without the approval of minority stockholders. In addition, they will also be able to elect all of the members of our Board of Directors, which will allow they to control our affairs and management. They will also be able to affect most corporate matters requiring stockholder approval by written consent, without the need for a duly noticed and duly-held meeting of stockholders. As a result, they will have significant influence and control over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders. Accordingly, you will be limited in your ability to affect change in how we conduct our business.
WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS.
We expect to incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the SEC. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. While we have no experience as a public company, we estimate that
Page 34
these additional costs will total approximately $60,000 per year. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR SECURITIES
WE HAVE NEVER PAID DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK AND YOU MAY NEVER RECEIVE DIVIDENDS. THERE IS A RISK THAT AN INVESTOR IN OUR COMPANY WILL NEVER SEE A RETURN ON INVESTMENT AND THE STOCK MAY BECOME WORTHLESS.
We have never paid dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. Future dividend policy will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be contingent upon future earnings, if any, our financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors. Future dividends may also be affected by covenants contained in loan or other financing documents, which may be executed by us in the future. Therefore, there can be no assurance that cash dividends of any kind will ever be paid. If you are counting on a return on your investment in the common stock, the shares are a risky investment.
THERE IS CURRENTLY NO SUBSTANTIAL MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND NO ASSURANCE THAT ONE WILL DEVELOP.
There is currently on an extremely limited trading market for our shares of Common Stock, under the symbol “CDKG.” We have provided no public information and our symbol contains a “skull and crossbones” insignia on the pink sheets. We are filing this information partly to provide such information to the public although there can be no assurance that a more substantial market will ever develop or be maintained. Any market price for shares of our Common Stock is likely to be very volatile, and numerous factors beyond our control may have a significant adverse effect. In addition, the stock markets generally have experienced, and continue to experience, extreme price and volume fluctuations which have affected the market price of many small capital companies and which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations, as we ll as general economic and political conditions, may also adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. Further, there is no correlation between the present limited market price of our Common Stock and our revenues, book value, assets or other established criteria of value. The present limited quotations of our Common Stock should not be considered indicative of the actual value of the Company or our Common Stock.
Future sales of our common stock could put downward selling pressure on our shares, and adversely affect the stock price. There is a risk that this downward pressure may make it impossible for an investor to sell his shares at any reasonable price.
Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could put downward selling pressure on our shares, and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Such sales could be made pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as shares become eligible for sale under the Rule.
Page 35
BECAUSE OUR SHARES ARE DEEMED HIGH RISK “PENNY STOCKS,” YOU MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY SELLING THEM IN THE SECONDARY TRADING MARKET.
The Commission has adopted regulations which generally define a "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as therein defined) less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Additionally, if the equity security is not registered or authorized on a national securities exchange, the equity security also constitutes a "penny stock." As our common stock falls within the definition of penny stock, these regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving our common stock, of a risk disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. These regulations generally require broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors to deliver a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with that market. Di sclosure is also required to be made about compensation payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. These regulations also impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers. In addition, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks. The ability of broker/dealers to sell our common stock and the ability of shareholders to sell our common stock in the secondary market is limited. As a result, the market liquidity for our common stock is severely and adversely affected. We can provide no assurance that trading in our common stock will not be subject to these or other regulations in the future, which would negatively affect the market for our common stock.
IF A MARKET DEVELOPS FOR OUR SECURITIES THE COULD BE VOLATILE AND MAY NOT APPRECIATE IN VALUE.
If a market should develop for our securities, of which we have no assurance, the market price is likely to fluctuate significantly. Fluctuations could be rapid and severe and may provide investors little opportunity to react. Factors such as changes in results from our operations, and a variety of other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, could cause the of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. Also, stock markets in penny stock shares tend to have extreme price and volume volatility. The market prices of shares of many smaller public companies securities are subject to volatility for reasons that frequently unrelated to the actual operating performance, earnings or other recognized measurements of value. This volatility may cause declines including very sudden and sharp declines in the market price of our common stock. We cannot assure investors that the stock price will appreciate in value, that a market will be available to resell your securities or that the shares will retain any value at all.
RISKS RELATING TO DOINGBUSINESS IN THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
WE ARE SUBJECT TO THE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC POLICIES OF THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CHINA, AND GOVERNMENT REGULATION COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR INTENDED BUSINESS.
All of our assets and operations are in the PRC. As a result our operating results and financial performance as well as the value of our securities could be affected by any changes in economic, political and social conditions in China.
The Chinese government adopted an “open door” policy to transition from a planned economy to a market driven economy in 1978. Since then the economy of the PRC has undergone rapid modernization although the Chinese government still exerts a dominant force in the nation’s economy. There has historically been a substantial market in liquor consumption in China.
Page 37
The Chinese government operates the economy in many industries through various five-year plans and even annual plans. A large degree of uncertainty is associated with potential changes in these plans. Since the economic reforms have no precedent, there can be no assurance that future changes will not create materially adverse conditions on our business.
Due to the limited effectiveness of judicial review, public opinion and popular voting there are few avenues available if the governmental action has a negative effect. Any adverse changes in the economic conditions, in government policies, or in laws and regulations in China could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth, which in turn could lead to a reduction in demand for our products and consequently have a material adverse effect on our business.
THERE ARE RISKS INHERENT IN DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA OVER WHICH WE HAVE NO CONTROL.
The political and economic systems of the PRC are very different from the United States and more developed countries. China remains volatile in its social, economic and political issues which could lead to revocation or adjustment of reforms. There are also issues between China and the United States that could result in disputes or instabilities. Both domestically and internationally the role of China and its government remain in flux and could suffer shocks, or setbacks that may adversely affect our business.
THE CHINESE LEGAL SYSTEM IS MUCH DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF THE UNITED STATES WITH CONSIDERABLY LESS PROTECTION FOR INVESTORS, AND IT MAY BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR INVESTORS TO SEEK LEGAL REDRESS IN CHINA AGAINST US OR OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS, INCLUDING CLAIMS THAT ARE BASED UPON U.S. SECURITIES LAWS.
All of our current operations are conducted in China. All of our current directors and officers are nationals or residents of China. It may be difficult for shareholders to serve us with service of process in legal actions. All of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States in China. The PRC legal system is a civil law system. Unlike the common law system, the civil law system is based on written statutes in which decided legal cases have little value as precedents. As a result there is no established body of law that has precedential value as is the case in most western legal systems. Differences in interpretations and rulings can occur with little or no opportunity for redress or appeal.
As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside China upon our officers and directors. Even if service of process was successful, considerable uncertainty exists as to whether Chinese courts would enforce U. S. laws or judgments obtained in the United States. Federal and state securities laws in the U. S. confer substantial rights to investors and shareholders that have no equivalent in China. Therefore a claim against us or our officers and/or directors or even a final judgment in the U. S. based on U. S. may not be heard or enforced by the Chinese courts.
In 1979, the PRC began to adopt a complex and comprehensive system legal system and has approved many laws regulating economic and business practices in the PRC including foreign investment. Currently many of the approvals required for our business can be obtained at a local or provincial level. We believe that it is generally easier and faster to obtain provincial approval than central government approval. Changes to existing laws that repeal or alter the local regulatory authority and replacements by national laws could negatively affect our business and the value of our securities.
Page 37
NEW CHINESE LAWS MAY RESTRICT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO MAKE ACQUISITIONS OF BUSINESSES IN CHINA.
New regulations on the acquisition of businesses commonly referred to as “SAFE” regulations (State Administration of Foreign Exchange) were jointly adopted on August 8, 2006 by six Chinese regulatory agencies with jurisdictional authority. Known as the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors the new Rule requires creation of offshore Special Purpose Ventures, or SPVs, for overseas listing purposes. Acquisitions of domestic Chinese companies require approval prior to listing securities on foreign exchanges.
We obtained the approvals that we believe are required in making the acquisitions that formed the present company. Nonetheless, our growth has largely been by acquisition and we intend to continue to make acquisitions of Chinese businesses. Since the “SAFE” rules are very recent there are many ambiguities and uncertainties as to interpretation and requirements. These uncertainties and any changes or revisions to the regulations could limit or eliminate our ability to make new acquisitions of Chinese businesses in the future.
WE MAY BE AFFECTED BY RECENT CHANGES TO CHINA’S FOREIGN INVESTMENT POLICY, WHICH WILL CHANGE THE INCOME TAX RATE FOR FOREIGN ENTERPRISES.
On January 1, 2008 a new Enterprise Income Tax Law will take effect. The new law revises income tax policy and sets a unified income tax rate for domestic and foreign companies at 25 percent. It also abolishes favorable treatment for foreign invested enterprises. When the new law takes effect, foreign invested enterprises will no longer receive favorable tax treatment. Any earnings we may obtain may be adversely affected by the new law.
CHINA CONTROLS THE CURRENCY CONVERSION AND EXCHANGE RATE OF ITS CURRENCY, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.
The Chinese government imposes control over the conversion of the Chinese currency, the Renminbi, into foreign currencies, although recent pronouncements indicate that this policy may be relaxed. Under the current system, the People's Bank of China publishes a daily exchange rate based on the prior day's activity which controls the inter-bank foreign exchange market. Financial institutions are permitted a narrow range above or below the exchange rate based on then current market conditions. Since 1997, the State Council has prohibited restrictions on certain international payments or transfers for current account items. The regulations also permit conversion for distributions of dividends to foreign investors. Investment in securities, direct investment, and loans, and security investment, are still subject to certain restrictions.
For more than a decade the exchange rate for the Renminbi (“RMB”) was pegged against the United States dollar leaving the exchange rates relatively stable at roughly 8 RMB for 1 US Dollar. The Chinese government announced in 2005 that it would begin pegging the Renminbi exchange rate against a basket of currencies, instead of relying solely on the U.S. dollar. This has recently caused the dollar to depreciate as against the RMB. As of December 31, 2009, the rate was 6.837 RMB for 1 US Dollar. Since all of our
Page 38
expected operations are in China, significant fluctuations in the exchange rate may materially and adversely affect our revenues, cash flow and overall financial condition.
CHINESE LAW REQUIRES APPROVAL BY CHINESE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND COULD LIMIT OR PROHIBIT THE PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS FROM ANY PROCEEDS OBTAINED FROM LIQUIDATION OF OUR ASSETS.
All of our assets are located inside the Peoples Republic of China. Chinese law governs the distributions that can be made in the event of liquidation of assets of foreign invested enterprises. While dividend distribution is allowed it is subject to governmental approval. Liquidation proceeds would also be subject to foreign exchange control. We are unable to predict the outcome in the event of liquidation insofar as it affects dividend payment to non- Chinese nationals.
CHINA HAS BEEN THE LOCALE FOR THE OUTBREAK OF VARIOUS DISEASES AND A PANDEMIC CAUSED BY DISEASES SUCH AS SARS, THE AVIAN FLU, OR SIMILAR DISEASES COULD HAVE A MATERIALLY ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR WORKERS AND EVEN THE CHINESE ECONOMY IN GENERAL, WHICH MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT BUSINESS.
The World Health Organization reported in 2004 that large scale outbreaks of avian flu throughout most of Asia, including China, had nearly caused a pandemic that would have resulted in high mortality rates and which could cause wholesale civil and societal disruption. There have also been several potential outbreaks of similar pathogens in China with the potential to cause large scale disruptions, such as SARS, pneumonia and influenza. Any future outbreak which infiltrates the areas of our operations would likely have an adverse effect on our ability to conduct normal business operations.
