1999 and December 31, 1998 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 and cash flows at September 30, 1999 and 1998 and for all periods presented 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 the periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years. 10 PART I - ------------------------------ ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------ Unless otherwise indicated, the term "Company" refers to China Food and Beverage Company and its subsidiaries and predecessors. The accompanying consolidated unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with the instructions in Form 10-QSB and, therefore, so not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principals and should, therefore, be read in conjunction with Company's Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. These statements do include all the normal recurring adjustments which the Company believes is necessary and affords a fair presentation. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31,1999. Accordingly, consolidated audited interim financial statements, including a balance sheet for the Company as of the fiscal quarter ended September 30,1999, and, statements of operations and statements of cash flows for the interim period up to the date of such balance sheet and the comparable period of the preceding fiscal year are attached hereto as Pages F- __through F-__ and are incorporated herein by this reference. - ------------------------------------------------------------------ ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS - ------------------------------------------------------------------ Though this information is set forth in the Company's 10K-SB, year ending December 31, 1998, and in the Company's 10Q-SBs for quarters ending March 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999, the significance of these transactions regarding the Company's acquisitions of a majority interest bears repeating in this filing: On April 27, 1998, the Company and Calder Investments, Ltd. and Li, Lin Hu, as "Sellers,"and Company as "Purchaser," entered into an agreement whereby the Company would purchase 100% of the stock of Victoria Beverage Company, Ltd. ("Victoria"). At the time of the transaction, Victoria was the owner of 55% of Anhui Hao Dun Brewery Company, Ltd. ("Hao Dun"). The transaction resulted in a debenture in the face amount of US$21,000,000, which shall be for a term of five (5) years bearing an interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. At the Company's option, the debenture may be converted into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of five dollars ($5.00) per share. The Sellers were able to provide the Company with appropriate documentation and accounting verifying that Victoria owned a fifty-five percent (55%) interest of Anhui Hao. Consequently, on December 30, 1998, the Company closed on the April 27, 1998 agreement with Calder Investments Limited and Li, Lin Hu by issuing its 5 year and one day 8% Debenture in the amount of $10,500,000 to each of Calder Investments Limited and Li, Lin Hu. This issuance consummated the transactions described in the Company 8-K dated May 6, 1998. On the same day, December 30, 1998, the Company caused the conversion of the Debentures above described in the terms incorporated therein by issuing to each of Li, Lin Hu and Calder Investments Limited, 1,050,000 shares of Company's common stock. In addition, on December 30, 1998, the Company caused to be issued 2,100,000 shares of its common stock to Anhui Lui An Beer Company, Ltd., the former owners of Hao Dun. This issuance was to pay off the $10,500,00 debt owed by Victoria to Anhui Liu An Beer Company, Ltd as a result of Victoria's purchase which occurred prior to the Company's acquisition of Victoria. This issuance caused the three individuals and entities above set forth to become the control persons and largest shareholders of the Registrant. It should be noted that these three individuals and entities as Company's largest shareholders may be capable of influencing the Company's future business policies. 11 Through a reverse merger recapitalization by which the Company acquired 100% of Victoria Beverage Company, Ltd., for 4,200,000 shares of the Company's common stock, resulted in the Company owning 55% of Anhui Hao Dun Brewery Co., Ltd. As opposed to the third quarter ending 1998, when the Company had no liquid assets, as a result of the aforementioned acquisition, the Company's total assets ending September 30, 1999 were valued at $18,701,765 of which, as set forth on page ___ of the Financials, attached hereto. Total "Current Assets" are $5,638,997. The "Fixed Assets" ($9,825,385) include a complex of buildings and equipment for making beer. The "construction in progress"as listed under "Other Assets" refers to a nitrogen separating machine being developed in conjunction with the brewing processes. The Company employs approximately 530 employees at its brewery at a complex of approximately 14 buildings of various dimensions and square footage, situated at: #28 Juichang Rd., Luan, Anhui province, People's Republic of China. The fact that the Company conducts business and owns the majority of its assets in the People's Republic of China could expose the Company to material and possible economic risks. These risks may include, but are not limited to, military repression, expropriation, changing fiscal regimes, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, high rates of inflation, worker unrest, and the absence of industrial and economic infrastructure. Operations may be affected by government regulations with respect to production restrictions, price controls, export controls, embargoes, income and other taxes, environmental legislation, labor, welfare benefit policies, land use rights, etc. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately assessed or predicted. As evidenced by the attached financial data, the Company has continued to experience steady growth during the third quarter ending September 30, 1999, albeit the pace slowed somewhat from the previous quarter. The reasons for slower pace of sales may be the result of several scenarios including market saturation and increase in cost of living in the People's Republic of China. Year 2000 Compliance The Year 2000 problem is a result of computer programs being written using two digits to define the applicable year. If not corrected, any programs or equipment that have time sensitive components could fail or create erroneous results. The Company has completed a review of its existing systems and has upgraded approximately 50% of its existing system with hardware and software that purports to be Year 2000 compliant. The majority of the Company's other software and hardware is not believed to be Year 2000 compliant. However, the Company has already ordered the necessary software and hardware to fully upgrade its computer systems to be Year 2000 compliant. The Company is not certain if it will be fully compliant by December 31, 1999. The cost associated with completion of updating the Company's computer systems is not expected to have a material impact on the financial condition of the Company. Nonetheless, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. At this date, the Company still has limited information concerning the Year 2000 compliance status of its clients and associates. However, even if the Company's clients are not Year 2000 compliant the Company does not anticipate that such noncompliance will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. 12 Forward Looking Statements The forward looking statements contained in this Form 10-QSB are subject to various risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated in such forward looking statements. - ---------------------------------------------- ITEM 3.

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.

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 ac8t as a "...marketing consultant/promoter..." of the Company. The complaint alleges that the Company, knowing ly 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 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 terminated the aforementioned Consulting Agreement with Globus. Negotiations regarding a settlement between the Company and representatives from the SEC are pending. - ------------------------------------------ ITEM 7.
