China Du Kang Co., Ltd (“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.
Overview
The Company had been engaged in the business to provide various financial services since its incorporation. The Company was not successful and discontinued the majority of its operation by December 31, 2007.
“We previously were a shell company; therefore the exemption offered pursuant to Rule 144 is not available. Anyone who purchased securities directly or indirectly from us or any of our affiliates in a transaction or chain of transactions not involving a public offering cannot sell such securities in an open market transaction.”
On January 10, 2008, the Company entered into a Plan of Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Hong Kong Merit Enterprise Limited (“Merit”), a holding company incorporated in Hong Kong. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company agreed to issue post split 88,000,000 shares of its common stock to the shareholder(s) 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 . Merit also agreed to pay $260,000 to the Company at closing. 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..
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, the Merit agreed to purchase 100% of the equity ownership in Huitong for a cash consideration of $136,722 (RMB 1,000,000). Subsequent to the completion of the Agreement, 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 a share exchange agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with the owners of Shaanxi Xidenghui Technology Stock Co., Ltd. ("Xidenghui"), whereby Huitong exchanged 100% of its issued and outstanding capital for 98.24% of the equity ownership in Xidenghui. Subsequent to completion of the Share Exchange, 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, Shaanxi 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 with a brand name of “Baishui Dukang”. 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 $769,200 (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. Xidenghui is principally engaged in the business of distribution of Baishui Dukang’s liquor and management of the “Baishui Dukang” 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 licenses the brand name to other liquor productors. The Company 's structure is summarized in the flow chart found in Item 14. Supplementary Data.
Previous to this, on or about October 25, 2006 a Definitive Agreement was entered into by Premier Organic Farms Group, Inc. and Amstar International, Inc. On or about December 19, 2006, the merger defined in this agreement was closed. In the definitive agreement Amstar International, Inc. was to merge with Premier Organic Farms Group, Inc. (PFOG). Prior to the merger PFOG was to change its name to Amstar Financial Holdings, inc., dilute their shares down to approximately 608,771 shares with 96.12% of the ownership passing to Amstar International Stockholders. In addition, as part of the terms of this agreement a favorable hearing before a judge of competent jurisdiction, regarding a petition of fairness subject to section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933 was to be approved. An order granting this petition of fairness was signed on December 18, 2006 by a judge in State of Nevada, County of Elko, Case number CV-C-06-1016. This transaction closed on December 19, 2006, in Phoenix, Arizona.
Baishui Dukang Liquor Factory was built as a State owned enterprise in the middle of 1970s with about 400 employees. By the early 1990’s it was no longer profitable and Baishui stopped manufacturing in the early 90’s. The Sanjiu Group acquired the facility in 1995, restarted and attempted to operate for one year. Unable to attain profitability, the Sanjiu Group closed the facility in 1998 and it remained closed until Baishui Dukang leased the facility on March 4, 2002.
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, an affiliate of the Company . On April 30, 2005, Baishui Dukang signed a complementary 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 the local government to continue the lease and to absorb the pension and unemployment insurance expenses of Sanjiu's original employees. All the pension and unemployment insurance payments were to be made directly to the local China Social Security Administration to satisfy all of the pension and unemployment insurance expenses that were required in connection with the original Sanjiu employees.
From that time until the present, the Baishui facility has been the Company ’s exclusive manufacturing facility and the Company has continued to market the lines that were originally proffered by the Baishui Dukang Liquor Factory. The Company has made significant improvements to the facility and expects to continue to improve the facility.

Shaanxi Xi Deng Hui Stock Co. Ltd., Holds
| ● | 90.51% and controls Shaanxi Bai Shui Du Kang Liquor Co., Ltd., and holds |
| ● | 70% Shaanxi Bai Shui Du Kang Brand Management Co., Ltd.; |
Principal Products
The Company manufactures, sells, licenses and distributes a proprietary line of white wines that are generally known in China under the heading Du Kang. The largest sellers are currently collections called the “Baishui Dukang” series, the Thirteen Dynasties series and Jiu Zu Gong.
Du Kang is a generic description, like “vodka” or “merlot” and is one of the most famous Chinese white wine brands. The Company ’s subsidiaries Shaanxi Bai Shui Du Kang Liquor Co. Ltd and Shaanxi Bai Shui Du Kang own the “Bai Shui Du Kang” brand, while another subsidiary, owns three 3 brands:
| · | Bai Shui Du Kang |
| · | Thirteen Dynasties and |
At present, Du Kang has 6000 ton production capacity per year including (brewing and packaging). Liquor products unit price ranges from $2.00 USD to $150.00 USD. Our Du Kang Liquor products are sold in most cities in China. In northeast, north,south coastal region and middle areas of China we sell liquor through long-term liquor distributors. In Shaanxi province we sell liquor to agent stores in Xi’an, Bai Shui, Hua yin, Han Cheng, Fu Ping Pu Cheng, Da Li, Wei Nan city. Throughout China the Du Kang market sales, awareness and brand image is broadening.
Through its subsidiaries in China, the Company sells and develops new and additional liquors, liquor raw materials, deep processing of agricultural and sideline products and research and develop of high-tech products and brewing methods. We were the first company, in cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to ship Du Kang yeast and grain aboard #3 and #7 Shenzou spaceflights for a series of scientific experiments designed to improve yield and flavors. No newly developed products have entered the market since 2008. We are currently focusing on expanding distribution of existing brands so we have devoted only minimal resources to research and development activities in the past two years.
Major products include the Baishui Dukang series, Thirteen Dynasties series, Shen Zhou Nectar, Guo Bin Special, and Jiu Zu Gong.
Distribution methods of the products or services
The Company set a new sales strategy, including sales territory that covers many counties in China and since July 2007. Du Kang Liquor products previously have been sold mostly in the larger cities in China. In 2008 and 2009, we put in place distributorship agreements in the form of agenciess or licensing that now includes the northeast, north, south coastal region and middle areas of China.
We derive our revenue from following three ways:
| · | Sales of liquor within China generally through long-term liquor distributors (“distributor”). |
| · | Fees from agent liquor stores/retailers (“agent”) |
| · | Our subsidiary, Shaanxi Bai Shui Du Kang Brand Management Co., Ltd. grants permission to use “Baishui Dukang” trademark to white spirits manufactures (“licensee”) who comply with the liquor (or white spirits) production standard of PRC. |
Accordingly, the Company enters into three different types of agreements: Distributorship Agreements, Agency Agreements, and Licensing Agreements. All are designed to expand the distribution of the Company ’s products. The material terms and differences among the agreements are as follows:
| 1. | The Company ’s distribution agreements grant the distributor the exclusive right to distribute the Company ’s products within a defined territory. Each distributor agreement provides an area within the PRC that is exclusive to the distributor for a 5-year exclusive period. Each Distributor Agreement specifies the Du Kang products that are to be sold, with the Thirteen Dynasties series being the most prevalent. Pricing of the products is according to the China Du Kang pricing policies. Terms include account settlement procedures; duties pertaining to licenses, packaging and sales conduct. The distributors are required to provide reports, protect the trademarks and copyrights and dispute resolution procedures. The |
| 2. | The Company ’s agency agreements grant the agent the exclusive right to sell the Company ’s products within a defined territory. The agency agreements grant an agent to exclusively sell particular products of the Company in exchange for a pre-determined royalty. The Royalty payments for agency agreements range from $44,610 to $160,317. The Company will produce specific liquors for sale stated under the terms of the agency agreement, and the agent has the exclusive right to sell certain products as designated by the agreement. The agreement does not private label the specific products, but we agree that we will not sell those products through our distributors or other arrangements. The agency agreement does not entitle the agent to sell any other China Du Kang products other than the specific products that are subject to the Agency agreement. For agency agreements last for one year and may be renewed annually. The agent must pay an upfront fee that varies from product to product and the agent must minimum sales requirements during the term of the agreement. |
| 3. | The Company ’s licensing agreements grant the licensee a non-exclusive right to use the Company ’s trademarks, logos, and brand names in connection with the development, marketing, and sale of the licensee’s independently manufactured products. The licensing agreements grant a license to use the Company ’s trademarks in exchange for a pre-determined royalty. The Royalty payments for licensing agreements ranged from $6,134 to $355,254. Licensing agreements typically date back to a period before the current Company acquired the assets and essentially continues the rights of certain third parties to market products using the China Du Kang name, patterns, logos, trademarks and other proprietary assets for sub-branding of products. Licensing agreements are for specific zones with the PRC and may overlap territories that are included in other agreements. Each agreement specifies the products covered, types of uses permitted, and the method and scope of sub-branding. The Agreements cover sales literature, pricing, quality controls and standards for packaging. |

Competitive Business Conditions
While management is pleased at the progress of the distribution of its Du Kang liquors, it remains a relatively insignificant participant in the liquor and beverage industry. Many of our competitors are larger and have significantly more financial resources. We were recently awarded inclusion in China’s top 500 large and medium sized beverage manufacturers. An article in the April 15, 2009 edition of “The Atlantic” magazine (Risen,The Atlantic, April 15, 2009) reported that “Maotai”, a “baijiu” type of white liquor that is competitive, was the largest selling liquor in the world. The article notes that Maotai is somewhat expensive – the bottle tested cost $115 USD, smells of ammonia, and has a bitter taste.
Both a February, 2010 issue of the newspaper China Daily (Qingfen and Yue,China Daily,February 2, 2010) also noted that "Moutai and Wuliangye”, two higher end liquors were selling briskly, Both Moutai and Wuliangy are products that compete with the Company ’s liquors. The article contained a quote a report from a China investment firm that said,
“In 2010, China's high-end liquor (wine and spirit) consumption will grow by more than "30 percent" from a year earlier, higher than the liquor market as a whole, which will see a "20 to 25" percent rise.”
The Company believes that its Du Kang series is positioned well against the larger sellers and should enjoy increased sales if the liquor market overall improves as expected.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
The raw material needed in our production is mainly grain. The Company purchases sorghum from farmers in the northeast and other wholesalers. While its price fluctuates in response to market conditions, availability has never been an issue. In addition, the Company expects to enter into a contract of quota system for the production by local farmers to purchase some of the other required raw materials such as wheat and corn
Dependence of Major Customers
The Company has long-term marketing contract with the following three companies: Shaanxi Dukang Liquor Group Co., Ltd., Henan Jiuquan Liquor Co., Ltd., and Shanxi Baishui Xingjijiu Marketing Co., Ltd. These three companies sell our products in China.
Shaanxi Dukang Group Co., Ltd., accounted for approximately 41% and Henan Jiuquan Liquor Co., Ltd.. accounted for more than 14% of our sales of our products for the year ended December 31, 2010. Shaanxi Dukang Group Co., Ltd., accounted for approximately 30% and Shanxi Baishui Xingjijiu Marketing Co., Ltd. accounted for more than 15% of our sales of our products for the year ended December 31, 2010.
We have begun to expand our distributorship and licensing programs and expect to reduce the dependence on these three distributors over the course of 2010.
Patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts, including duration
The Company has received all the certificates required to be issued by the Chinese government pertaining to production and sales of liquor, such as the Production License, Trade Mark Registration Certificate, etc. All these certificates are in force.
We believe we have full rights to the intellectual property required for sales in China. We have been contacted by a U.S. group that indicates that they have a prior right to the name “Du Kang” within the United States.
Dependence of Major Suppliers
We rely on a limited number of suppliers for our component parts and raw materials. Although there are many suppliers for each of our component parts and raw materials, we are dependent on a limited number of suppliers for many of the significant components and raw materials. This reliance involves a number of significant potential risks, including:
| • | lack of availability of materials and interruptions in delivery of components and raw materials from our suppliers; |
| • | manufacturing delays caused by such lack of availability or interruptions in delivery; |
| • | fluctuations in the quality and the price of components and raw materials, in particular due to the petroleum price impact on such materials; and |
| • | risks related to foreign operations. |
We generally do not have any long-term or exclusive purchase commitments with any of our suppliers. Hunan Xinshiji Taochi Co., Ltd., Hunan Fengling Liangyou China Co., Ltd., Shanxi Wenxiyingfa Glass Co., Ltd., and Chongqing World Guohua Technology Co., Ltd. each accounted for more than 10% of our purchases of components for our products for the year ended December 31, 2010. Shanxi Wenxiyingfa Glass Co., Ltd., Shanxi Wenxiyingfa Glass Co., Ltd., and Yuncheng Aofeng Glass Co., Ltd. each of which accounted for more than 10% of our purchases of components for our products for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
Our failure to maintain existing relationships with our suppliers or to establish new relationships in the future could also negatively affect our ability to obtain our components and raw materials used in our products in a timely manner. If we are unable to obtain ample supply of products from our existing suppliers or alternative sources of supply, we may be unable to satisfy our customers’ orders which could materially and adversely affect our revenues and our relationship with our customers.
Regulation
We are currently regulated People’s Government of Shaanxi Province approved Business License, Organization Code of PRC. We have obtained and maintain China Manufacture Certificate, Sanitation License and Food Security permits to Shaanxi Bai Shui Du Kang Liquor Co., Ltd. On March 1, 2008 which is valid until December 31, 2011 in China, which we believe are all of the necessary legal government approvals if a manufacturer in PRC starts its business and continue its operation.
The greatest impact of government regulation for company’s business is the change of tax policy. In China, white spirit production belongs to a traditionally high tax industry. However, the Company ’s location, Bai Shui county, is rated as a national level poor county. The Company is considered to be a pillar enterprise and major client of taxation in Bai Shui county.
Historically, the Company has enjoyed preferential tax treatment on a national and local level. The Company entered into a Tax Abatement Agreement in 2004. Taxes were exempted for the first 2 years of existence of the Agreement and reduced by half for the following 3 years. The Agreement expired as of August, 2009. Management is optimistic that they can work with taxing authorities to continue some level of preferential tax treatment for income of the Company .
Employees
The Company currently has 144 full time employees. During peak seasons the Company hires temporary workers and typically has approximately 250 part time employees during these periods. The Company currently has no part time employees.
All officers and directors except Director Liu Su Ying are employed on a full time basis and devote their full time energies to the Company . Each officer and director except Ms. Liu devotes at least 40 hours per week during each work week.
Costs and effects of compliance with environmental laws
Company’s main product is liquor, and the raw material for liquor production is grain and water. The water is taken from Dukang spring, a fresh water aquifer that has a history of thousands of years. The Company ’s manufacturing process meets the national standard for environmental protection. Moreover, the Company was commended as a “Manufacturing Enterprise to Recycle Energy” by the government of the Shaanxi province.
In recent years, company has spent over $4,400 to refurbish the Company ’s production equipment, factory, building, boiler, water line, electricity as well as air, to improve its efficiency. In addition, the Company has invested in recovery processing of the distiller’s grains produced in liquor-making, in order to produce the fodder.
RISK FACTORS
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 has an accumulated deficit of $21,449,649 at December 31, 2010 that includes losses of $(1,007,604) and $(1,321,056) for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In addition, The Company has a working capital deficiency of $17,117,746 and a shareholders' deficiency of $8,809,864 at December 31, 2010. These factors raise certain 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.
WE HAVE HAD LOSSES FROM OPERATIONS AND ANTICIPATE LOSSES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
Since inception we have had limited revenues from operation. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009 totaled $ 1,987,659 as compared to $2,487,454 for the year ended 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2010 we experienced net income from operations of $207,901 for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to net loss of $(489,413) for the year ended December 31, 2009. 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.
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 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 until this filing. We currently have a “stop sign” insignia. 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 well 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.
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. Disclosure 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 market price 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 DOING BUSINESS 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.
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.
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 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.

Leased Assets*
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, an affiliate of the Company . On April 30, 2005, Baishui Dukang signed a complementary 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 the local government to continue the lease and to absorb the pension and unemployment insurance expenses of Sanjiu's original employees. All the pension and unemployment insurance payments were to be made directly to the local China Social Security Administration to satisfy all of the pension and unemployment insurance expenses that were required in connection with the original Sanjiu employees.
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 4% annually. The number of employees that we need to absorb their pension and unemployment insurance expenses will gradually decrease as Sanjiu’s original employees reach their retirement ages. 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 follow:
Year | Pension Insurance Expense | | | Unemployment Insurance Expense | | Total | |
| Province average salary (RMB) | Annual increase rate | Percentage | No. of employees | Estimated pension insurance expense (RMB) | City average salary (RMB) | Annual increase rate | Percentage | No. of employees | Estimated pension insurance expense | USD$1.00=RMB¥6.83720 @12/31/2009 | Present Value as of December 31, 2009 (the incremental interest rate is 8%) |

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On or about January 28, 2008 the company issued 88,000,000 shares to Deng Guo Gang, the sole shareholder of HONGKONG MERIT ENTERPRISE LIMITED ("MERIT"). Mr. Deng Guo Gang was a “non-US person,” being a citizen and resident of the People’s Republic of China. Mr. Deng Guo Gang thereafter distributed the 88,000,000 shares to the shareholders of China Du Kang, all of which were “non-US persons,” being citizens and residents of the People’s Republic of China. We believe that the securities exchanged to the non-US persons were private placements under Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and exempt from registration under Regulation S as promulgated under the Act.
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.
AFLH also issued 362,200 shares of newly issued common voting shares to Sedgefield Capital Corporation for consulting services rendered by Sedgefield prior to the reverse acquisition by Hongkong Merit Enterprise Limited. The shares were issued in exchange for services valued at $25,000. The Company then changed its name to China Du Kang Co., Ltd..
In June, 2008, the Company issued 850,000 shares of common stock, valued at $17,000 to two Chinese consultants and their Chinese attorney. Also, in June 2008, 150,000 shares of common stock, valued at $3,000, to its securities counsel, Charles Barkley.
We believe the securities offered in the exchange, including the common stock, were issued and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration contained in Regulation S promulgated there under, which exempt transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering and issuances to non-US persons. The issuance of the shares was undertaken without general solicitation or advertising. Each recipient of the shares was a non- US person as defined in Regulation S, was acquiring the shares of for investment purposes and not with a view to any public resale or other distribution and otherwise met the requirements of Regulation S. In addition, the stock certificate representing these shares contained a legend that they are restricted securities under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Regulation S.

OVERVIEW
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 ’ operations currently consist of sales of a line of proprietary liquors known generally in China as the Baishui Dukang series. These are clear liquors sold under a variety of trade names including Thirteen Dynasty, Jiu Zu Gong and Baishui. The Company ’s products are sold mostly in larger urban areas in China through three long term marketing agreements.
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. Merit was a “wholly owned foreign enterprise, generally known as a “WOFE” company, established for the purpose of facilitating an acquisition of a Chinese enterprise. While a Chinese entity may not be owned or controlled by foreign investors or shareholders, the Company ’s Chinese counsel opined that a Chinese entity may be acquired in a two step transaction with a WOFE company. The purpose of the Company was simply to facilitate the acquisition and Merit engages in no operations. All operations are carried out through the Chinese entities. The Chart below shows all of the entities but all operations are conducted by entities incorporated in China. The Hong Kong and US corporations conduct no operations and all of the business of the Company is conducted by the entities incorporated in the PRC..
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
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 Merithui 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, Shannxi 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 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.
Baishui Dukang Liquor Factory (“Dukang Liquor Factory”) was built as a State owned enterprise in the middle of 1970s with about 400 employees. By the early 1990’s it was no longer profitable and Dukang Liquor Factory stopped manufacturing in the early 90’s. Sanjiu Dukang Liquor Production Co., Ltd ("Sanjiu") acquired Dukang Liquor Factory in 1995, restarted and attempted to operate for one year. Unable to attain profitability, the Sanjiu closed the facility in 1998 and it remained closed until Baishui Dukang leased the facility on March 4, 2002.
On March 4, 2002, Baishui Dukang signed a lease agreement with 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,, an affiliate of the Company . On April 30, 2005, Baishui Dukang signed a complementary 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 the local government to continue the lease and to absorb the pension and unemployment insurance expenses of Sanjiu's original employees. All the pension and unemployment insurance payments were to be made directly to the local China Social Security Administration to satisfy all of the pension and unemployment insurance expenses that were required in connection with the original Sanjiu employees.
We manufacture product for distribution under certain labels that are proprietary to the Company and which are also distributed through agencies. We also permit third parties to manufacture under similar products under distinguishable names.
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 licensing fee varies based on the sales territory and the number of sub brand names. We generally collect the entire licensing fee when the licensing contract is executed, and then recognize licensing fee revenue over the beneficial period described by the contract, as the revenue is realized or realizable and earned. 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 agency fee varies based on the sales territory and the number of sub brand names. We generally collect the entire agency fee when the agency contract is executed, and then recognize agency fee revenue over the beneficial period described by the contract, as the revenue is realized or realizable and earned
The company ’s annual income increased from $1,987,659 in 2009 to $2,487,454 in 2010,which included $210,441, or 19.86% increase in sales of liquor, and $289,354, or 31.18% increase in license fees.
The company adjusts its sales policy from 2008 and increases the strategic partner. Moreover, the expansion of “Bai Shui Du Kang” brand influence and the collection of royalties bring the good benefit for the company .
China has a vast territory and a large population. Every enterprise will seek for the total occupation of their products in all Chinese market. As a liquor enterprise with small production scale and not longer period of operation, it is difficult for the company to occupy the national market in a short period of time. Therefore, according to company’s actual situation, under the precondition of meeting current production capacity and ensuring the sales of products, the company ’s management want to look for the enterprise (in the region our products have not reached yet) which meet the PRC liquor production standard as our strategic partner to expand the sales territory, promote the brand influence, and increase company’s income. Practice has proved that it is a very effective strategy. Some well-known company also adopt this strategic and have many successful cases. Firstly, it can make up company’s deficiency that production capacity cannot meet the actual need. Secondly, it can save a large amount of funds for expansion of reproduction scale. Thirdly, it can expand the influence of company and market share, raise the brand value. Fourthly, it can accelerate the speed of products into market, and reduce the production and transportation cost. Fifthly, it can maximize the profit, and increase company’s income along with the improvement of brand influence and royalties. All of above will lay a good foundation for next step of company’s development.
The current situation is an opportunity as well as a challenge for company’s development.
I、High requirements for inner management and market management have been put forward along with the company ’s development. The company will further deepen the internal reform, strengthen the implementation of target responsibility system, implement the tasks, ascertain the responsibility, reduce the energy consumption, improve the efficiency, guarantee the quality, improve management’s ability of scientific and programmed decision-making, and decrease operation cost.
II、 The company will increase scientific research input, intensify the development of new product. Based on retaining the sales of matured product in existing market, the company will strive for annually putting two or three new product on the market, in order to suit varying customer needs. As income increases, china began to form a middle class. Therefore, company’s goal is to satisfy the high-end products needed by middle class consumer groups.
III、As the expansion of sales territory and participation of strategic partner, it becomes more and more difficult to regulate the market. Further, company will increase the number of lawyer and market regulators, strengthen the supervision, send more officers to resident in strategic partner enterprise, implement rigid control on quality and sales territory, and strictly crack down on violations.
The Company operates in two reportable business segments: Sales of Liquor and License Fees. We currently have three major customers who constitute approximately 10% or more of the Company ’s total sales. These customers are identified in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. As a group, they represent over 50% of our total revenues. Because we depend on a small number of major customers, our revenues are dependent on those customers, rendering the Company vulnerable to a reduction in liquidity or income from operations. To the extent that any of these three customers fail or refuse to continue to do business with the Company , the Company ’s revenues would be adversely impacted. Further, while our distribution is expanding throughout China, our sales are concentrated in the Shaanxi province of China, where the Company ’s headquarters are located.
IV、The company will expand the market method, gradually reduce our reliance on three agents, purchase or set up our own marketing team in due course, and instruct the relevant department to conduct the marketing research and feasibility analysis.
V、The Liquor industry is a high tax industry in China, which affects profitability.. The company located in Bai Shui County, Shaanxi Province. Prior to 2009 we had a preferential tax treatment agreement but that agreement has expired and we do not currently have any tax amelioration in place.
VI、The principal raw materials for liquor-making are grain. Because the price of grain will be fluctuated with the influence of climate, it will increase the cost of production and further affect the corporate profit.
(i ) The company will sign the Contract of Ordering Needed Grain with local farmers, that is to say, purchasing from designated person. In this way, the interest of farmers will be protected and also price risk of grain will be minimized.
(ii) There are almost 2000 tons of stocks of wine base, which absolutely can guarantee the demand for one-year regular production. Therefore, the company will purchase when the food prices is low, and will not purchase when the food prices is high.
(iii) Partial profit of the company is from strategic partner. Accordingly, the fluctuation of food price will have no effect on this part of revenue.
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 management 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 licenses the brand name to other liquor manufactures. The Company 's structure is summarized in the following chart.
Regarding material challenges, risks and material trends affecting the Company , Management believes the primary risk is the potential for raw material prices to fluctuate, affecting the Company ’s profitability. The Company requires approximately 2,000 tons of grain each year. Thus far the Company has not faced shortages from suppliers but has little control over pricing. The Company expects to enter into supply contracts in 2011 with designated suppliers to streamline the ups and downs of pricing.
Secondly, the Company expects the continued expansion of distributors to require additional supervisory and marketing personnel. The Company hopes to expand its marketing staff to provide close supervision and support to the network of resellers.
Finally, management believes that our current manufacturing capacity is sufficient for the next year or so, we may begin to examine expansion of our facility and our manufacturing capacity as we continue to expand our network of resellers.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31 2010 AND DECEMBER 31, 2009
REVENUES
Gross revenues improved from $1,987,659 and $2,487,454for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 respectively due primarily to the sales of liquor and the license fees. We recognize revenue when the earning process is complete which generally occurs when products are shipped, both title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred, or services have been rendered and accepted, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.. We do not provide unconditional rights of return and other concessions to our customers. Sales returns and other allowances have been immaterial in our operation.
Revenues increased $499,795 or 25% from $1,987,659 to $2,487,454 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 respectively. The increase was fairly evenly attributable to an increase in license fees and sales of liquor. Sales of liquor improved $210,441,or 19.86% from $1,059,694 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $1,217,319 for the year ended December 31, 2010.
License fees increased from $927,965 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $1,217,319 for the year ended December 31, 20010, representing an increase of $289,354,or 31.18%.License fees includes fees payable by our licensees and agents. We added 5 licensees in 2010. The Company expects to continue to expand its network of third party licensees and agents throughout 2010. Increase in license fees resulted from additions to our licensing agreements with third parties who wish to use the Du Kang name. These agreements are for renewable one year terms. We expected our agency fees will increase in 2011 aswe implement our sales strategy toincrease license feesand to increase sales generated by distributorsof liquor.
Management believes these increases confirm the validity in the changes to their distribution model and believes that improvements in license fees and sales of liquor should continue in 2011.

The overall gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2010 was 49.98% as compared to 43.65% for the comparable period of 2009.

The decrease is due to a decrease of $ 112,708 in advertising expenses from $135,966 in the year ended December 31, 2009 to $23,258 for the same period in 2010, as we reduce our ads in media as we focus on our main distributors to sell our liquor. We have now finished most of our package design, so as our expenses for package design decrease from $17,039 in 2009 to $5,266 in 2010. We also decreased our travel and entertainment expenses from $56,327 to $14,979 and promotion expenses from 256,417 to 98,709 as we attended less promotion conference in 2010 than in 2009.
The decrease in operating expenses was largely due to the decrease in selling expenses ,which was offset by a slight increase in general and administrative expenses of $12,171, from $891,327 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $893,031 for the year ended December 31, 2010.The increase was largely attributed to the increase of $62,349 in the professional fees and consultant fees from $60,565 for the year ended 2009 to $122,914 for the same period in 2010.Another large increase was in employee benefit and pension from $19,846 for the year ended 2009 to $76,654 for the same period of 2010,which was partially offset by our office expenses decreased from $83,332 for the year ended 2009 to $57,610 for the same period in 2010,and loss on inventory from $121,595 for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $32,849 for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Our travel and entertainment expense increased $30,068 from $145,908 in the year ended December 31, 2009 to $175,976 in the same period in 2010. The increase in travel expenses was due to Relocation of some of offices; including the main offices of Xidenghui and Brand Management.
Payroll decreased from $266,278 at December 31, 2009 to $214,338 as we adjusted our full time staff and made effective use of temporary help. For those same periods, employee benefits and pension increased from $19,846 to $76,654 as we paid more benefit, such as food and housing, to keep our skillful employees; depreciation and amortization decreased from $151,244 to $140,703 as we disposed one vehicle; vehicle expenses increased from $30,168 to $38,469 as the gasoline price increase in PRC.

The Company has incurred total interest expense and imputed interest expense of $980,523 and $852,691 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The increased in interest expense was due to increased in bank loans and related parties loans for working capital purposes.
INCOME/LOSS FROM OPERATIONS
The C ompany had experienced a loss from operations of $(489,413) in the year ended December 31, 2009, but shows income from operations of $207,901 which reflects an improvement of $697,314 in the year ended December 31, 2010, The improvement was attributable to an increase in gross profit from $867,663 to $1,243,144 from year ended December 31, 2009 to 2010 and a decrease in operating expenses from $1,357,076 to $1,035,243 for the same periods. The increase in profit is mainly attributed to the performance of new marketing polices and a reduction of selling expenses from $465,749 to $142,212 from the year ended December 31, 2009 to the year ended December 31, 2010. The number of the licensees has increased; the marketing network is expanding and covers more than thirty provinces, cities and districts throughout the country.

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2010 was $1,210,013, as cash used by operating activities was 320, 119 for year ended December 31, 2009.The Changes were primarily due to increase in deferred revenue from (67,281) to $1,216,097 from year ended December 31, 2009 to 2010,as we collected more advance from licensees and agents, which was partially offset by the increase in inventories from 272,211 in 2009 to (475,529) in 2010. The prepaid expenses improved from (368,052) to (98,923),as well as the increase in other payable from (63,597) to ($4,669) for the same periods.
Cash flows used in investment activities increase from $(912,202) to $(1,850,875) for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 2010, respectively.The increase was due primarily to the loans that we made to our non-consolidated subsidiary, Shaanxi Yellow-river Wetlands Park Co., Ltd.,and Shaanxi Mining New Energy Co., Ltd. a related party. We also used more cash in purchasing fixed assets in 2010, including equipment and building facility, as we are expanding our production capacity.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 were $1,033,872 and $1,815,626 respectively. The majority of the change was attributed to from the increase in the proceeds from related parties from $3,145,366 in 2009 to $5,388,390 in 2010, which was partially offset by increase in the amount of repayment to such loans from (2,403,854) in 2009 to (4,015,324) in 2010..Bank loans increased from 292,360 to 442,560 for the same periods as we take out more bank loan to expending our production capacity.
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 2010 and 2009 were $14,210,146 and $9,993,604 respectively. Total current assets increased for the same periods from $3,888,194 to $5,968,025, which was primarily attributable to the increase of cash and cash equivalents, which increased from $619,472 at December 31, 2009 to $1,994,126 at December 31, 2010; and the increase in inventories that increased from $2,694,596 to $3,273,993 for the same respective periods.
Property, plant and equipment declined from $4,283,850 at December 31, 2009 to $4,424,062 at December 31, 2010. For the same respective periods long term investment increased slightly from $1,755,104 to $1,814,937 due to the changes in currency exchange rate. Liabilities increased from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010 from $18,151,683 to $24,020,008 We had bank loans of $292,517 at December 31, 2009 as compared to $756,224 at December 31, 2010. Accounts payable were $856,270 at December 31, 2009 as compared to $891,409 at December 31, 2010. Amounts due to related parties were the most significant change of current liabilities increasing from $15,095,908 at December 31, 2009 to $17,018,272 at December 31, 2010, as we obtained more loans from related-parties. Taxes payables increased from $196,104 to $491,137 during the same periods..
We have cash of $1,994,126 and $619,472 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We believe that we have sufficient cash to fund operations for approximately 12 months assuming that sales and margins remain constant.
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 2011 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.
RELATED PARTY LOANS
We have historically funded our cash needs through a series of debt transactions, primarily with related parties. These related party loans have operated as informal lines of credit since the inception of the Company , and related parties have extended credit as needed which the Company has repaid at its convenience. 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.
We currently have sixteen (16) outstanding loans from related parties in an aggregate amount of $17,018,272 and $15,095,908 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Theaffiliates are directly or indirectly, beneficially and in the aggregate, majority-owned and controlled by directors and principal shareholders of the Company , as more fully disclosed in the Note 10 and Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements.The remaining eight related party loans are shareholders, and current or former officers and directors which are unsecured, demand notes, which are non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment, therefore, deemed payable on demand. We have not paid any interest on these loans. Imputed interest expense charged to operations was $949,932 and $833,911 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Cash flows from due from related parties are classified as cash flows from investing activities. Cash flows due to related parties are classified as cash flows from financing activities.
Refer to Item 7- Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence of this filing for additional information.
INVENTORY
Our inventory is aged to improve the taste and smoothness of the finished product. Total storage time is approximately three (3) years, so our inventory turnover rate typically exceeds 1,000 days. We believe our practices are standard in the liquor industry in China. The base wine of our liquors goes through a production process that includes weighing, measuring, sampling and tasting, and chromatographic analysis of the production micro-components before the finished goods come off the production line. When the base wine comes off the production line, the product is extremely bitter and is generally not smooth enough for sale.
Some finished goods will be stored for 3 years in total, initially through a 2-year storage in wooden containers and then a 1-year jar storage. This storage process creates a chemical process for the stored wine that goes into flavor blending before packaging. After packaging, the products will also be stored for 3 months. We then conduct random inspection and testing before releasing the production run for the market.
We experience an extended time for inventory turnover, as good quality base wine are stored for several decades for flavor blending. At present, national liquor industry performance is subject to PRC National Standard GB/T14867-2007 Feng-flavor Chinese Spirit, GB/T10781.1-2006 Strong Aromatic Chinese Spirits, and business standards Q/SBDJ01-2002 Mixed-Flavor (Feng, Strong Aromatic and Jiang) Chinese Spirits and Q/SBDJ03-2002 Feng and Strong Aromatic Flavor Chinese Spirits. These requirements set forth the minimum storage requirements for truthful labeling and sale. In short, the more years base wine stored for, the higher its market price will be.
Further, the storage of a certain quantity of base wine also assists in smoothing the fluctuations in grain price which can keep the productions cost competitive and dealing with peak and off peak seasonality.
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.
Inventories consist of following: | | | | | | |
| | December 31, | | | December 31, | |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
Finished goods | | $ | 948,300 | | | $ | 769,619 | |

Shareholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2010 were $(9,809,862), as compared to $(8,158,076) as of December 31, 2009..The increase in shareholders’ deficit was due to loss in the year ended December 31, 2010. The accumulated deficit was $(20,442,045) at December 31, 2009 as compared to $(21,449,649) at December 31, 2010.

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").
Each subsidiary has an accounting manager that records the transactions for that subsidiary in accordance with PRC GAAP. These transactions and bookkeeping are reviewed by the Company ’s CFO and adjustments were made as needed to conform to US GAAP at the end of every reporting period. The CFO prepares a consolidated trial balance for the Company and its subsidiaries based on the consolidated trial balance, she prepares a consolidated financial statement in accordance with the US GAAP and then submitted to the Company ’s external auditor. The Company does not use external consultants or financial advisers in connection with the preparation of its reports.
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").
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.
The preparation and supervision of the Company ’s financial reports is the responsibility of the Company ’s CFO. Each subsidiary has at least one accounting manager who compiles the financials transactions of the subsidiary in accordance with PRC GAAP. The CFO supervises this process and all accounting managers’ report to the CFO for accounting matters. While the accounting managers are versed in PRC GAAP principles, they have limited or no experience in US GAAP. The conversion to US GAAP is the responsibility of the CFO.
The Company ’s current CFO is a certified public account in the PRC, having passed her examination in 1990. Since that time she has been continuously engaged in various accounting positions. She became familiar with US GAAP while preparing reports for those companies, leading up to her selection as the Company ’s CFO in 2008. There is no outside firm involved in the preparation of the financial reports or the analysis of the internal controls.
The Company does not have a separate audit committee. The only member of the Board with experience in US GAAP is the Company ’s CFO, who has exclusive and plenary control over the policies governing financial reporting and internal controls. The Board relies on the expertise of the CFO for both issues regarding reporting and issues regarding internal control.
The subsidiary manager approves transactions and invoices for payments. The accounting manager for the subsidiary serves as a cross checks and pays the invoices and records the transactions. These transactions are recorded and sent to the CFO in PRC GAAP format. The CFO then reviews the reports, converts them to US GAAP, and investigates as needed any issues presented regarding internal controls.

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.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense 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 if 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.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 4 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

ITEM 9. | CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE. |
None
ITEM 9A. | 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.
We kept our books in China GAAP and converted China GAAP to US GAAP under the auspices of our Chief Financial Officer. Although our Chief Financial Officer has some experience with US GAAP, her experience is not extensive. Based on this assessment, we believe that our internal controls and procedures to date is not effective based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework and due to the deficiencies described.
The deficiencies consisted of inadequate staffing and supervision that could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters and failure to perform timely and effective reviews over financial reporting in US GAAP. In addition, there are deficiencies in the recording and classification of accounting transactions and a lack of personnel with expertise in US generally accepted accounting principles and US Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations.
The Company discovered that our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, 2008 and the periods ended March 31, 2011, 2010, 2009; June 30, 2010, 2009, and September 30, 2010, 2009 should not be relied upon due to errors in the accounting record, accounting treatment and insufficient recognition of related party transactions disclosures. We did not account for the addition of imputed interest in our financial statements at the time of issuance. We reviewed the accounting for the imputed interest and, based on the review, we concluded that we misapplied accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and we restated our financial statements for the periods indicated above. We concluded that the imputed interest on loans due to our principal shareholders should have been accounted for as an expense to business operation and an addition to paid-in capital. We accounted for the imputed interest as an expense to business operations and an addition to paid-in capital. We reviewed the accounting for related parties’ transactions and, based on the review, we concluded that we misapplied accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and we restated our financial statements for the periods indicated above. We concluded that the related parties transactions should have been accounted for by recording related party receivables as a deduction from stockholders’ equity and provided additional disclosures.
We are taking steps to improve the process designed to prevent such deficiencies by engaging a financial consultant to assist us with our process of financial reporting. We are seeking to improve our controls and procedures in an effort to remediate these deficiencies through improving supervision, education, and training of our accounting staff. We have engaged third-party financial consultants to review and analyze our financial statements and assist us in improving our reporting of financial information. Management plans to enlist additional qualified in-house accounting personnel and third-party accounting personnel as required to ensure that management will have adequate resources in order to attain complete reporting of financial information disclosures in a timely matter. We believe that the remedial steps that we have taken and plan to take will address the conditions identified by our CEO and CFO in our disclosure controls and procedures. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these improvements. We also plan to work with the outside consultants we have engaged in assessing and improving our internal controls and procedures when necessary.
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. 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.
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.

The Company ’s board of director currently composed of one board member, Ms Nie Fen Ying. The OTC Bulletin Board does not have rules regarding director independence.

Legal Proceedings
No officer, director, or persons nominated for such positions and no promoter or significant employee has been involved in legal proceedings that would be material to an evaluation of our management.
Audit Committee and Other Committees
We do not have a separately designated standing audit committee. Pursuant to Section 3(a)(58)(B) of the Exchange Act, the entire Board of Directors acts as an audit committee for the purpose of overseeing the accounting and financial reporting processes, and audits of our financial statements. The Commission recently adopted new regulations relating to audit committee composition and functions, including disclosure requirements relating to the presence of an "audit committee financial expert" serving on its audit committee. In connection with these new requirements, our Board of Directors examined the Commission's definition of "audit committee financial expert" and concluded that we do not currently have a person that qualifies as such an expert. We have had minimal operations for the past two (2) years. Presently, there are only one (1) director serving on our Board, and we are not in a position at this time to attract, retain and compensate additional directors in order to acquire a director who qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert", but we intend to retain an additional director who will qualify as such an expert, as soon as reasonably practicable. While neither of our current directors meets the qualifications of an "audit committee financial expert", each of our directors, by virtue of his past employment experience, has considerable knowledge of financial statements, finance, and accounting, and has significant employment experience involving financial oversight responsibilities. Accordingly, we believe that our current director capably fulfill the duties and responsibilities of an audit committee in the absence of such an expert.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of ethic (the "Code of Ethics") that applies to our principal chief executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

• | Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations |
| The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code |
• | Accountability for adherence to the code |

We believe that all of these filing requirements were satisfied by our executive officers, directors and by the beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock.

ITEM 14. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES |
Fees Billed For Audit and Non-Audit Services
The following table represents the aggregate fees billed for professional audit services rendered to the independent auditor, Keith Zhen CPA (“Zhen”), for our audit of the annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. Audit fees and other fees of auditors are listed as follows:
Year Ended December 31 | | 2009(2) | | | 2010(2) | |
| | | | | | |
Audit Fees (1) | | $ | 50,000 | | | $ | 60,000 | |
Audit-Related Fees (4) | | | -- | | | | -- | |
Tax Fees (5) | | | -- | | | | -- | |
All Other Fees (6) | | | -- | | | | -- | |
Total Accounting Fees and Services | | $ | 50,000 | | | $ | 60,000 | |
| (1) | Audit Fees. These are fees for professional services for the audit of our annual financial statements, , and for services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. |
| (2) | The amounts shown in 2009 and 20010 relate to (i) the audit of our annual financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 210. We did not become a reporting company until January, 2010 so there were no quarterly reports or other reports that required review prior to this filing. |
| (4) | Audit-Related Fees. These are fees for the assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or the review of our financial statements. |
| (5) | Tax Fees. These are fees for professional services with respect to tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. |
| (6) | All Other Fees. These are fees for permissible work that does not fall within any of the other fee categories, i.e., Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees, or Tax Fees. |
Pre-Approval Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services
We do not have a standing audit committee, and the full Board performs all functions of an audit committee, including the pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services before we engage an accountant. All of the services rendered to us by Keith Zhen CPA were pre-approved by our Board of Directors.
The new policies and procedures will be detailed as to the particular service, will require that the Board or an audit committee thereof be informed of each service, and will prohibit the delegation of pre-approval responsibilities to management. It is currently anticipated that our new policy will provide (i) for an annual pre-approval, by the Board or audit committee, of all audit, audit-related and non-audit services proposed to be rendered by the independent auditor for the fiscal year, as specifically described in the auditor's engagement letter, and (ii) that additional engagements of the auditor, which were not approved in the annual pre-approval process, and engagements that are anticipated to exceed previously approved thresholds, will be presented on a case-by-case basis, by the President or Controller, for pre-approval by the Board or audit committee, before management engages the auditors for any such purposes. The new policy and procedures may authorize the Board or audit committee to delegate, to one or more of its members, the authority to pre-approve certain permitted services,provided thatthe estimated fee for any such service does not exceed a specified dollar amount (to be determined). All pre-approvals shall be contingent on a finding, by the Board, audit committee, or delegate, as the case may be, that the provision of the proposed services is compatible with the maintenance of the auditor's independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. In no event shall any non-audit related service be approved that would result in the independent auditor no longer being considered independent under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(a) On December 31, 2009, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer made an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures. In our opinion, the disclosure controls and procedures are adequate because the systems of controls and procedures are designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the respective periods being presented. Moreover, the evaluation did not reveal any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures.
(b) There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls since the last evaluation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM |
|
Board of Directors
China Du Kang Co., Ltd.(f/k/a Amstar Financial Holdings, Inc.)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Du Kang Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2010. China Du Kang Co., Ltd.’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company ’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity (deficit) , and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 have been restated.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of China Du Kang Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the company has incurred an operating loss for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2010, and as of December 31, 2010, has a working capital deficiency and a shareholders' deficiency. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1- | RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (restated) The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") issued comment letters on the Company ’s previously issued financial statements. We provided responses and amended our financial statements per such comments. Management believes such restatements reflect corrections of errors and omissions of material disclosures in the historical financial statements, in accordance with US GAAP. Restatement to imputed interest The Company has taken loans from the related parties to finance its operation due to lack of cash resources. We did not record imputed interest for these loans in our previously issued reports. We now have concluded that we should present the imputed interest expense in our financial statements. The interest rate used in the calculation of imputed interest for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was 6.375% and 5.753%, respectively, which approximates the interest rate of our bank loans. Restatement to due from related parties We presented due from related parties in the asset in our previously issued reports. We now have concluded that we should present due from related parties in the equity as an offset to the shareholders' equity. Restatement to condensed parent company financial statements We did not present the condensed parent company financial information in our previously issued reports. We now have concluded that we should present the condensed parent company financial statements in accordance with Rule 12-04, Schedule I of Regulation S-X.
These adjustments had effects in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated statements of operations, the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity (deficit), and the consolidated statements of cash flows in the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the notes to these consolidated financial statements, as more fully disclosed in the following. |

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. |

Note 2- | ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS (continued) 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 licenses the brand name to other liquor manufactures and liquor stores. 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”). |

Note 2- | ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS (continued) 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 majority owns Xidenghui, which was a Chinese holding company. Xidenghui had two subsidiaries, Baishui Dukang and Brand Management. 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 (restated) As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,449,649 at December 31, 2010 that includes losses of $1,007,604 and $1,321,056 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In addition, The Company had a working capital deficiency of $17,117,746 and a shareholders' deficiency of $9,809,862 at December 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. 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 date of issuance of these financial statements. 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. |

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$”).

| Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete, both title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred 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) License Fees (a) License 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 license fee varies based on the sales territory and the number of sub brand names. We generally collect the entire license fee when the license agreement is executed, and then recognize license fee revenue over the beneficial period described by the agreement, as the revenue is realized or realizable and earned. (b) License 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 license fee varies based on the sales territory and the number of sub brand names.

| Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue consists of prepayments to the Company for products that have not yet been delivered to the customers and franchise fees received upfront for 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 License 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. |

| Inventories 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, all spirits that are newly distilled from sorghum, so call “liquor base”, must be barrel-aged for several years, so we bottle and sell only a portion of our liquor base inventory each year. We classify barreled liquor base as work-in-progress. Following industry practice, we classify all barreled liquor base as a current asset. 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 |
Leased assets | Lease duration |
| 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 three pieces of land, approximately 657 acre, 2.4 acre, and 7.8 acre, located in Weinan City, Shaanxi Province for through February, 2051, March 2055, and May 2059. 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. 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 Shaanxi Yellow-river Wetlands Park Co., Ltd., and owns 7.9% equity ownership interest therein. Shaanxi Yellow-river Wetlands Park Co., Ltd. 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, whichever is earlier, in accordance with the FASB ASC 720-35, “Advertising Costs". The advertising costs were $25,452, and $135,966 for the years ended December 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 year ended December 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 A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party. 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. |

| Imputed Interest The Company has financed it business operation through short-term borrowings from various related parties. These short-term borrowings are non-secured, non-interest bearing with no fixed repayment date. The imputed interests are assessed as an expense to the business operation and an addition to the paid-in capital. The calculation is performed quarterly based on the average outstanding balance and the market interest rate. The interest rate used in the calculation of imputed interest for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was 6.375% and 5.753%, respectively, which approximates the interest rate of our bank loans. 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 provisions for such employee benefits was $76,654 and $19,846 for the year ended December 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 $75,279 and $73,050 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. |

| 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. 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. |

| 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 year ended December 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. |

| In December 2010, FASB issued an amendment to the disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations. The amendments in this ASU specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material effect on the Company ’s financial position and results of operations. In December 2010, FASB issued an amendment to goodwill impairment test. The amendments modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples, which require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material effect on the Company ’s financial position and results of operations. In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued amendments to the disclosure requirements about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. The purpose of the additional disclosures is to enable users of financial statements to better understand the nature of credit risk inherent in an entity’s portfolio of financing receivables and how that risk is analyzed. For end of period balances, the new disclosures are required to be made in all interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. For activity during a reporting period, the disclosures are required to be made in all interim and annual periods after January 1, 2011. The Management does not expect these changes will have a material impact on the Company ’s financial position and results of operations as this guidance only relates to additional disclosures. |

| In April 2010, FASB issued an amendment to Stock Compensation. The amendment clarifies that an employee stock-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity shares trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material effect on the Company ’s financial position and results of operations. In January 2010, the FASB issued additional disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The guidance requires previous fair value hierarchy disclosures to be further disaggregated by class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. In addition, significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy are required to be disclosed. These additional requirements became effective January 1, 2010 for quarterly and annual reporting. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material effect on the Company ’s financial position and results of operations. In addition, the fair value disclosure amendments also require more detailed disclosures of the changes in Level 3 instruments. These changes will be effective January 1, 2011 and the Management does not expect the adoption of this new guidance will have a material effect on the Company ’s financial position and results of operations. 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 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 Management does not expect the adoption of this new guidance will have a material effect on the Company ’s financial position and results of operations. |

| Merit is a holding company registered in Hong Kong and has no operating profit or tax liabilities during the period. The Company is subject to 16.5% income tax on its taxable income generated from operations in Hong Kong. Merit had no income during the periods presented. PRC income tax The Company ’s PRC subsidiaries, Huitong, Xidenghui, Dukang, and Brand Management, are governed by the Enterprise Income Tax Law of PRC concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and various local income tax laws ("the Income Tax Laws"). Beginning January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) law has replaced the old laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DES”) and Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIEs”). The key changes are: a. The new standard EIT rate of 25% replaces the 33% rate applicable to both DES and FIEs, except for High Tech companies that pay a reduced rate of 15%; b. Companies established before March 16, 2007 continue to enjoy tax holiday treatment approved by local government for a grace period of either for the next 5 years or until the tax holiday term is completed, whichever is sooner. In addition, the new EIT also grants tax holidays to entities operating in certain beneficial industries, such as the agriculture, fishing, and environmental protection. Entities in beneficial industries enjoy a three-year period tax exempt and a three-year period with 50% reduction in the income tax rates. The Company ’s PRC subsidiaries, Huitong Xidenghui, Dukang, and Brand Management are subject to effective income tax rate of 25% beginning from January 1, 2008. |

| As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had net operating losses of approximately $6,142,115 and $14,103,639 carried forward from prior years. Although the PRC Income Tax Law allows the enterprises to offset their future taxable income with operating losses carried forward in a 5-year period, enterprises need approval from local tax authority before they can claim such tax benefit, and the outcome of the application is generally uncertain. In addition, the Management believes that there is no certainty that the Company will realize taxable income in the future. Therefore, the Management established a 100% valuation allowance for the operation losses carried forward and no deferred tax assets have been recorded as a result of these losses. |

Note 19- | 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. 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, an affiliate of the Company. On April 30, 2005, Baishui Dukang signed a complementary 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 the local government to continue the lease and to absorb the pension and unemployment insurance expenses of Sanjiu's original employees. All the pension and unemployment insurance payments were to be made directly to the local China Social Security Administration to satisfy all of the pension and unemployment insurance expenses that were required in connection with the original Sanjiu employees. 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 4% annually. The number of employees that we need to absorb their pension and unemployment insurance expenses will gradually decrease as Sanjiu’s original employees reach their retirement ages. 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: |
Estimated Pension and Unemployment Insurance Expenses
Year | Pension Insurance Expense | Unemployment Insurance Expense | Total | Present Value as of December 31, 2010 (the incremental interest rate is 8%) |

| We consolidate Sanjiu into our consolidated financial statement based on FASB ASC 810-10-25 (FIN 46R). Since Sanjiu had ceased operation when we executed the lease agreement, we will consolidate the leased assets and the lease payment obligation, including the $362,450 (RMB 3,000,000) paid directly to the local government and the payments that were to be made directly to the local China Social Security Administration to satisfy all of the pension and unemployment insurance payments that were required in connection with the original Sanjiu employees in our consolidated financial statements. |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 20- | CONDENSED PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL INFORMATION | |
| Basis of Presentation |
| |
| The condensed parent company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 12- 04, Schedule I of Regulation S-X, as the restricted net assets of the subsidiaries of China Du Kang Co., Ltd. exceed 25% of the consolidated net assets of China Du Kang Co., Ltd. The ability of the Company ’s Chinese operating subsidiaries to pay dividends may be restricted due to the foreign exchange control policies and availability of cash balances of the Chinese operating subsidiaries. Because substantially all of the Company ’s operations are conducted in China and a substantial majority of its revenues are generated in China, a majority of the Company ’s revenue being earned and currency received are denominated in Renminbi (RMB). RMB is subject to the exchange control regulation in China, and, as a result, the Company may be unable to distribute any dividends outside of China due to PRC exchange control regulations that restrict its ability to convert RMB into US Dollars. The condensed parent company financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting principles and policies described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, with the only exception being that the parent company accounts for its subsidiaries using the equity method. Refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes presented above for additional information and disclosures with respect to these financial statements. |
