NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 2004
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES

Pursuant to an exchange agreement, Eternal Technologies Group,
Inc., ("Company") formerly known as Waterford Sterling
Corporation, completed its acquisition of 100% interest of Eternal
Group Limited and Subsidiaries on December 12, 2002. The Company
has treated the transaction as a reverse merger for accounting
purposes. Following the acquisition, the former shareholders of
Eternal Technology Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands limited
liability company, now owns approximately 85% of the issued and
outstanding common shares of Eternal Technologies Group Inc.
Eternal Phoenix Company Limited was incorporated in the British
Virgin Islands with limited liability on March 3, 2000. Pursuant
to a resolution passed on June 17, 2000 Eternal Phoenix Company
Limited changed its name to ETERNAL TECHNOLOGY GROUP LTD.,
("Eternal"). Eternal is a holding company for investments in
operating companies.

2. Condensed financial statements and footnotes
The interim consolidated financial statements presented herein
have been prepared by the Company and include the unaudited
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant
inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
the consolidation.
These condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-QSB
and Item 310 (b) Regulation S-B. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted. The Company believes the disclosures made
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 2003 and notes thereto included in
the Company's Form 10-KSB.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2004, the
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004
and 2003, respectively. Interim results are not necessarily
indicative of full year performance because of the impact of
seasonal and short-term variations.
3. Cash
At March 31, 2004, approximately $15,549,752 of cash is arbitrarily
restricted by management for operations in the PRC.
4. Public relations agreement
During January 2004, the Company entered into a six-month public
relations agreement with PMR and Associates, LLC (PMR). As
consideration for public relations services, the Company shall
compensate PMR the equivalent of $90,000 in shares subject to Rule
144. During February 2004, the Company issued 100,000 shares to PMR
for these services. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, the
Company expensed $45,000 associated with this agreement and
recorded $45,000 as prepaid consulting expense at March 31, 2004.
7
5. Notes payable
The Company's promissory notes payable are in default at March 31,
2004 and the holder of the notes has made demand for payment of the
notes and has threatened litigation. The Company and its attorneys are
performing an additional detailed review of all expenditures prior to
the merger. The balances of the notes are subject to change pending
the outcome of the review of these expenditures. The Company believes
it has meritorious defenses to any lawsuit related to the notes.
6. Contingencies
In conjunction with certain subscription agreements entered into
during 2003, the Company has agreed to register the shares issued
under a Form SB-2 registration statement. There are penalties for
not timely meeting filing and effectiveness deadlines, and the
Company has received claims related to these penalties. For the
three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company has accrued expenses
for penalties of $52,361.
7. Subsequent event
On April 30, 2004, the Company and a local government entity
reached an agreement on the final purchase price and terms related
to the Company's reception center and certain equipment that is
recorded as "Property held for Sale" at December 31, 2003 and March
31, 2004. At December 31, 2003, the Company had recorded an
estimated impairment loss of $300,000. At March 31, 2004, the
Company recorded an additional impairment loss of $53,517 based on
the amount the Company had recorded of $2,192,071 and the final
purchase price of $2,138,554. The agreement calls for cash payments
of $620,482 and the remainder will be paid in livestock of
$1,518,073. The Company accounts for non-monetary transactions in
accordance with APB Opinion No. 29.
8
Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
The Company's business is highly seasonal, with most of the Company's revenue
and income being earned during the fourth quarter of the calendar year.
Accordingly, the results of operations for the calendar quarter ended March 31,
are not indicative of the results for any other quarter or for the fiscal year.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 compared to the Three Months Ended March 31,
2003
Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 increased by $2,016,202 to
$2,044,578 from $28,376 for the corresponding period of the prior year. This
increase in revenue occurred because the Company purchased and sold processed
lamb meat for food processing in the first quarter of 2004 while the Company had
no such business in the first quarter of 2003.
Cost of Sales
There were no cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2003, but costs
of sales totalled $1,449,937 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from the
purchase of the processed lamb meat.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31,
2004 decreased by $23,281 or 10.9% to $190,188 from $213,469 for the
corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease in depreciation and
amortization primarily resulted from the fact that certain equipment was fully
depreciated as of December 31, 2003.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31,
2004 increased by $217,921 or 145.1% to $368,154 from $150,233 for the
corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in the selling and
administrative expenses is principally attributable to an increase in salaries
of $102,939 an increase in marketing expenses of $45,520, the penalty for the
delay in the registration of $52,361 an increase in the interest expense of
$9,500, and an increase in research and development of $7,229.
Net Income (Loss)
As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported earnings of $9,162 for
the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to a loss of $351,549 for the
three months ended March 31, 2003. There were no income taxes recorded for
either three month period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2004, the Company had cash of $16,471,005 and working
capital of $21,960,672. This compares with cash of $16,302,464 and working
capital of $21,610,834 at December 31, 2003.
Cash flows from operating activities totaled $168,541 for the three months
ended March 31, 2004. This compares with cash used in operating activities of
$4,408,567 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The decrease in cash flows
resulted from changes in the current accounts, particularly accounts receivable
($4,699,638) and reduced depreciation of $23,281 which was partially offset by
an increase in earnings of $328,265 the issuance of shares for services
($45,000) and a non-cash charge for an impairment loss of $53,517.
There were no investing activities by the Company during either the three
months ended March 31, 2004 or 2003.
There were no financing activities for the three months ended March 31,
2004. Cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended March 31,
2003 totaled $81,886 All of the cash flows from the financing activity was from
the sale of the Company's common stock.
9
Although the Company has a cash and bank balance of $16,471,005,
$15,549,752 is arbitrarily restricted by management for operations within the
People's Republic of China. Therefore, if the Company is to expand outside the
PRC, as it anticipates doing, or pay its non-PRC obligation, it will have to
sell additional shares of its stock or borrow funds from third parties.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our chief
executive officer and our chief financial officer, after evaluating the
effectiveness of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined
in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-14(c) and 15-d-14(c)) as of a
