CHINA FOOD AND BEVERAGE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999
NOTE 1 - CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations an cash flows at June 30, 2000 and for all
periods resented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December
31, 1998 audited consolidated financial statements. The results of
operations for periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full
years.
NOTE 2 - LOSS OF SUBSIDIARY
The loss in the first quarter of 2000 from discontinued operatons
results from a dispute with the Anhui Liu An Beer Company Ltd.
("sellers") who represent a minority interest in the entity that
operates the Company's brewery in the Peoples' Republic of China.
In December 1998, the Company acquired a 55% interest in a Chinese
brewery for which it issued 8% convertible debentures in the total
principal amount of $21 million. The debentures had a $5.00
conversion price. Pursuant to the terms of the debentures, the
Company had the right to require conversion of the debentures. The
Company required said conversion and issued 4.2 million shares of
its common stock, also in December 1998. The sellers, from whom
the Company purchased its interest in the brewery, hold a 45%
equity interest in the brewery and agreed to maintain
responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the brewery.
The Company's Chinese asset, which is the brewery, is subject to
liens which resulted in the borrowing of approximately $6 million,
and the brewery had tax liabilities to the People's Republic of
china in excess of $4 million.
In May 2000, the sellers claimed that the Company was in default
of its obligations to repurchase or cause to be repurchased from
the sellers, a significant majority of the shares of the common
stock issued upon conversion of the debentures or, to provide
additional capital. As a result of the alleged default, they
refused to provide the Company with any financial information
concerning the operations of the brewery and assumed control of
the brewery.
The Company believes that the claims made by the sellers are
without merit. However, as the assets of the brewery are in the
Peoples' Republic of China and the Company has no effective
control over the business or the financial concerns of the
brewery, the Company has fully reserved against all of its assets
allocated in China. All operations have been classified as
discontinued as they relate to activities prior to January 1,
2000.
It is possible that, in addition to taking control of the assets,
the sellers may commence an action against the Company alleging,
among other claims, breach of contract. Conversely, the Company is
exploring its options, including but not limited to, initiating
legal action of its own to recover what it believes to be a
wrongful conversion of its assets by the sellers.

NOTE 2 - LOSS OF SUBSIDIARY (Continued)
Unless the Company is able to resolve this dispute and because it
does not presently have the financial ability to continue in
operation, it may be obligated to secure additional debt or equity
financing to enable it to continue as an on-going entity.
NOTE 3 - LITIGATION
Securities and Exchange Commission v. China Food & Beverage, James
C. Tilton, et al. - On July 14, 1999, the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") in the United States District Court, Southern
District of Florida, Civil Action No. 99-1968-CIV-GOLD, filed a
Complaint for Injunctive and Other Equitable Relief, as well as a
Temporary Restraining Order against, et al, the Company and James
C. Tilton ("Tilton") individually who is the Company's chief
executive officer. On April 15, 1999, the Company entered into a
Consulting Agreement with The Globus Group, Inc. ("Globus"), a
Nevada corporation, whereby Globus was to act as a "...marketing
consultant/promoter..." of the Company. The complaint alleges that
the Company, knowingly or unknowingly disseminated material to the
public based on globus' false representations to the Company. The
complaint further alleges that when informed that Globus was
engaging in this and other improper activities that might result
in creating false impressions with the public, Tilton did not take
appropriate corrective action quickly enough.
As soon as the Company became aware of the SEC's complaint, the
Company took steps to investigate the allegations against Globus.
After numerous attempts to contact Globus, without success, the
Company's Officers and Board of Directors felt it was in the
Company's best interest to formally terminate the aforementioned
Consulting Agreement with Globus.
An offer was made by the Company and if accepted by the SEC, will
have the Company subject to a limited Consent Decree.
Oasis International Hotel & Casino, Inc. v. China Food and
Beverage Company - On June 14, 1999, suit was filed in the Supreme
Court of the State of New York, Case Number 114222/99. In April
1996, the Company received a cash advance in the amount of
$160,000 from Pienne Chow ("Chow"). On or about October 8, 1997
the Company executed a Promissory Note in favor of Chow for the
aforementioned $160,000 together with interest. On or about
December 3, 1998, Chow assigned her right, title and interest in
said Note to Oasis International Hotel & Casino, Inc. ("Oasis")
and Oasis sued the Company on the same.
On January 10, 2000, Oasis received a check in the amount of
$50,000 from the Company. On April 24, 2000, the Supreme Court of
the State of New York in the above-referenced matter, entered an
order of Satisfaction of Judgment thereby effectively dismissing
the case against the Company.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally
accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which
contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of
liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company
does not have significant cash or other material assets, nor does
it have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its
operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. It
is the intent of the Company to seek a merger with an existing,
operating company. Until that time, the stockholders have
committed to covering the operating costs of the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the three month ended June 30,2000, the Company sustained a loss of
$(1,966,331) or $0.33 per share (basic and diluted).
The Company's Chinese asset, which is a brewery, is subject to liens
which resulted in the borrowing of approximately $6 million, and the brewery had
tax liabilities to the Peoples' Republic of China in excess of $4 million.
In December 1998, the Company acquired a 55% interest in a Chinese
brewery for which it issued 8% convertible debentures in the total principal
amount of $21 million. The debentures had a $5.00 conversion price. Pursuant to
the terms of the debentures, the Company had the right to require conversion of
the debentures. The Company required said conversion and issued 4.2 million
shares of its common stock, also in December 1998. The sellers, from whom the
Company purchased its interest in the brewery, hold a 45% equity interest in the
brewery and agreed to maintain responsibility for the day-to-day operations of
the brewery.
In May 2000, the sellers claimed that the Company was in default of its
obligations to repurchase or cause to be repurchased from the sellers, a
significant majority of the shares of the common stock issued upon conversion of
the debentures or, to provide additional capital. As a result of the alleged
default, they refused to provide the Company with any financial information
concerning the operations of the brewery and assumed control of the brewery.
The Company believes that the claims made by the sellers are without
merit. However, as the assets of the brewery are in the Peoples' Republic of
China and the Company has no effective control over the business or the
financial concerns of the brewery, the Company has fully reserved against all of
its assets located in China.
It is possible that, in addition to taking control of the assets, the
sellers may commence an action against the Company alleging, among other claims,
breach of contract. Conversely, the Company is exploring its options, including
but not limited to, initiating legal action of its own to recover what it
believes to be a wrongful conversion of its assets by the sellers.
Unless the Company is able to resolve this dispute and because it does
not presently have the financial ability to continue in operation, it may be
obligated to secure additional debt or equity financing to enable it to continue
as an on- going entity.

Securities and Exchange Commission v. China Food & Beverage, James C.
Tilton, et al. - On July 14, 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") in the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida, Civil
Action No. 99-1968-CIV-GOLD, filed a Complaint for Injunctive and Other
Equitable Relief, as well as a Temporary Restraining Order against, et al, the
Company and James C. Tilton ("Tilton") individually who is the Company's chief

material to the public based on Globus' false representations to the Company.
The complaint further alleges that when informed that Globus was
engaging in this and other improper activities that might result in creating
false impressions with the public, Tilton did not take appropriate corrective
action quickly enough.

As soon as the Company became aware of the SEC's complaint, the Company
took immediate steps to investigate the allegations against Globus. After
numerous attempts to contact Globus, without success, the Company's Officers and
Board of Directors felt it was in the Company's best interest to formally
terminate the aforementioned Consulting Agreement with Globus.
An offer was made by the Company and if accepted by the SEC, will have
the Company subject to a limited Consent Decree. The matter is still pending at
the date of this filing.

ending June 30, 2000 was, $484,678. The Company's "Total Liabilities and
Stockholder's Equity" for quarter ending June 30, 1999 was $19,053,025. The
Company's "Total Liabilities and Stockholder's Equity" for the year ending

may be obligated to secure additional debt or equity financing to enable it to
