Part I

Item 1. Description of Business.

We  are a  bottled water company based in the PRC. We also continue to operate various waste water treatment facilities. Through our majority-owned subsidiaries, we were engaged in the design, construction, implementation and management of industrial and municipal waste water treatment facilities throughout the PRC. We are now seeking to dispose of those operations.  We also provide high quality bottled water in China by using 9000-Year Old Glacier Spring Water. Our bottled water has been marketed in many big cities in China such as Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Chengdu and others.

We also previously provide turn-key waste water treatment engineering design and contracting. From 2000 through 2008, we completed the following turn-key projects: Yongji Development Zone Wastewater Treatment Plant (Phase 1), Guangdong Nanhai City Jinsha Town Wastewater Treatment Plant, Guangdong Sanshui Baini Wastewater Treatment Plant and Guangzhou Yantang Wastewater Treatment Plant, Tianjin City Meichang Town Wastewater Treatment Plant,Yongji Development Zone Wastewater Treatment Plant (Phase 2), China Environment Industrial Park Wastewater Treatment Plant, Huangzhuang Industrial Park Wastewater Treatment Plant and Tian Jin WuQing No.1 Waste Water Treatment Factory. We have left this business and no longer provide turn-key waste water services.

We hold 28.8%and 11.2%, respectively, of the equity interest in the following two water treatment facilities operated through build, operate and transfer (“BOT”) arrangements with the PRC government: (i) Tian Jin Shi Sheng Water Treatment Company Limited (“TianJin”), which commissioned water treatment in November 2003 and has a daily treatment capacity of approximately 10,000 tons; and (ii) Xin Le Sheng Mei Water Purifying Company Limited (“XinLe”), which also commissioned water treatment in November 2003 and has a daily treatment capacity of 40,000 tons. We have been retained as the manager to manage both TianJing and XinLe. The fees from XinLe and TianJing did not represent a significant portion of our revenue during 2008.
 
We also developed a BOT water treatment facility project in Hai Yang City under our subsidiary Hai Yang City Sheng Shi Environment Protection Company Limited (“HaiYang”) with capacity of 20,000 tons per day. We began construction of this project in April 2004 and completed the project and commenced water treatment in June 2005. We also developed another BOT water treatment facility project in Beijing under our subsidiary Bei Jing Hao Tai Shi Yuan Water Purifying Company Limited (“Beijing HaoTai”) with planned capacity of 20,000 tons per day. We began construction of this project in July 2004 completed approximately 90% till December, 2006. We retained a 90% interest in this facility until we disposed of it in December 2006 for a total consideration of US$1,442,567, and realized a gain of $44,872. In July 2005, we started construction of a BOT water treatment facility project for the Handan Fengfeng Mining Area in the Hebei Province under our subsidiary Han Dan Cheng Sheng Water Affairs Company Limited (“HanDan”) with capacity of 33,000 tons per day. The project was completed in December 2007. The fees from these projects are expected to increase our net sales in the future. We are in the process of discontinuing our waste water engineering operations to concentrate on our bottled water operations and the presentation of our financial statements reflects that these assets relate to our “discontinued division”.

Our predecessor in interest, Discovery Investments, Inc. (“Discovery”) was incorporated on September 10, 1996, under the laws of the State of Nevada to engage in any lawful corporate activity. Discovery had been in the development stage and was not active until October 26, 1999.
 
On December 10, 1999, Discovery entered into a Plan and Agreement of Reorganization (the “Plan”) with LLO-Gas, Inc. and John Castellucci. On October 26, 1999, LLO-Gas had acquired certain ARCO facilities and a so-called card lock facility and commenced operations. LLO-Gas was incorporated in July 1998 under the laws of the State of Delaware. On December 20, 1999, there was a closing under the Plan and LLO-Gas, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Discovery and there was a change of control of Discovery. Between December 20, 1999 and August 10, 2000, differences of opinion as to matters of fact and as to matters of law had arisen by and between certain of the shareholders of Discovery, who were shareholders prior to the closing, and between Discovery, John Castellucci and LLO-Gas, Inc.
 
On June 7, 2000, LLO-Gas, Inc. filed a Voluntary Petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California, San Fernando Valley Division, case number SV 00-15398-AG. On December 1, 2000, the United States Bankruptcy Court converted the pending matter into a Chapter 7 liquidation. Said Chapter 7 effected LLO-Gas, Inc. and not Discovery.
 
On August 10, 2000, Discovery entered into a Mutual Rescission Agreement and Mutual Release with John Castellucci which provided, inter alia, that Discovery consented and agreed to rescind said Plan with John Castellucci consenting and agreeing to the rescission. The parties mutually agreed to forego all rights and benefits provided to each other thereunder.
 
On August 9, 2001, Discovery filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Nevada, Case Number BK-S-01-18156-RCJ. On September 24, 2001, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Disclosure Statement and Plan of Reorganization submitted by Discovery and Discovery was thereafter released from Bankruptcy.

On April 29, 2002, Discovery entered into a Plan and Agreement of Reorganization with Bycom Media Inc., an Ontario, Canada corporation (“Bycom”). Pursuant to this agreement, Discovery acquired all the outstanding shares of Bycom for 4,800,000 shares of Common Stock. On October 5, 2002, Bycom became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Discovery and there was a change of control.
 
Bycom was engaged in multimedia applications for internet-based business. Utilizing business search tools and databases, Bycom intended to be able to locate and access global business information for a fee, or was to act as an “out-source provider” of information. Bycom currently is an inactive, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
On September 4, 2002, Discovery completed a transaction set out in a Plan and Agreement of Reorganization dated June 13, 2002, pursuant to which Discovery acquired all of the outstanding shares of Cavio Corporation, a Washington corporation, (“Cavio”) in exchange for 14 million share of Discovery common stock. Due to poor market conditions and Discovery’s inability to seek adequate financing from third parties to properly finance the operations of Cavio, on December 2, 2002 Discovery’s board of directors approved, subject to receiving the approval of a majority of the shareholders, to unwind the acquisition of Cavio in cancellation of the shares of common stock issued.
 
On December 2, 2002, Discovery unanimously approved the disposition of its interest in Cavio and thereafter received the consent of a majority of the outstanding shares of the company’s common stock. Discovery determined the effective date for the divestiture to be June 30, 2003.

For the two years prior to a reverse acquisition in September 2004, we had not generated significant revenues and were considered a development stage company as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7. We were seeking business opportunities or potential business acquisitions. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement and plan of reorganization dated September 9, 2004, as amended, between our company, Evergreen Asset Group Limited, an International Business Company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Evergreen” or “EGAG”), and the stockholders of Evergreen, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Evergreen’s capital stock. We issued 83,500,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for all the 300 issued and outstanding shares of Evergreen capital stock which had an estimated value of $4.24 million at the time of such issuance, valued based on the fair market value of the net assets of Evergreen. Since the stockholders of Evergreen acquired approximately 83.5% of our outstanding shares and the Evergreen management team and board of directors became the management team and board of directors of our company, according to FASB Statement No. 141 - “ Business Combinations ”, this acquisition has been treated as a recapitalization for accounting purposes, in a manner similar to reverse acquisition accounting. In accounting for this transaction:
 
 
• 
Evergreen is deemed to be the purchaser and surviving company for accounting purposes. Accordingly, its net assets are included in the balance sheet at their historical book values and the results of operations of Evergreen have been presented for the comparative prior period;

 
• 
Control of the net assets and business of our company was acquired effective October 15, 2004. This transaction has been accounted for as a purchase of the assets and liabilities of our company by Evergreen. The historical cost of the net liabilities assumed was $0.00.

As a result of the transaction described above we changed our name from Discovery Investments, Inc. to China Evergreen Environmental Corporation.

Due to the reverse acquisition mentioned above, EGAG, pursuant to a group reorganization which was completed in July 2004, acquired 90% equity interests in each of XinXingmei, XianYang, HaiYang and BeijingHaoTai for cash consideration of RMB12,601,000 (approximately $1,521,860), RMB18,000,000 (approximately $2,173,913), RMB2,700,000 (approximately $326,087) and RMB1,800,000 (approximately $217,391), respectively, all of which are domestic incorporated companies established in the PRC with limited liability.
 
In March 2003, GDXS entered into a BOT agreement with Xian Yang City Environment Protection Bureau. The BOT agreement was later transferred to Xian Yang Bai Sheng Water Purifying Company Limited (“XianYang”), after XianYang was incorporated. The construction of the wastewater plant of XianYang started in the beginning of 2004. Due to the group reorganization in July 2004, 90% of GDXS’s interest in XianYang was transferred to EGAG. In October 2004, EGAG entered into a tri-party framework agreement with True Global Limited (“TGL”), an independent party and Guang Dong Xin Sheng Environmental Protection Company Limited (“GDXS”) for the disposal of its 90% interest in XianYang to TGL at a total consideration of $13,246,377. A gain on disposal of $5,220,299 was recorded in 2004 for the disposal of our entire 90% attributable interest in XianYang to TGL.The gain represents the difference between the disposal proceeds and our attributable share of net assets of XianYang at the date of disposal.

In April 2005, we conducted a private placement of 20 investment units, at $25,000 per unit, for gross proceeds of $500,000. Each unit consisted of (a) one 12% convertible debenture in the original principal amount of $25,000, convertible into shares of our common stock at the rate of the lesser of (i) $0.20 per share or (ii) a 10% discount to the price per share of common stock (or conversion price per share of common stock) of the next private placement conducted by us prior to any conversion of the debenture, and (b) 125,000 detachable warrants to purchase one share each of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, expiring ten years from their date of issuance. The debentures were due and payable August 1, 2005. The debenture holders, however, extended the payment period to September 30, 2005. We granted the investors limited registration rights for the common shares underlying their debentures and warrants. Westminster Securities Corporation acted as placement agent for this offering on our behalf. All the debenture holders have converted the debentures into 3,703,701 shares of our common stock on October 1, 2005.

On September 14, 2005, we closed the private placement sale to accredited investors of units consisting of shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $4.83 million. Pursuant to the subscription agreements entered into with the investors, we issued to the investors 161 units at a price of $30,000 per unit. Each unit consisted of 200,000 shares of our common stock, priced at $0.15 per share, and warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock over a five-year period at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. Pursuant to the terms of the subscription agreements, we granted the investors limited registration rights for all common shares comprising the units, including the common shares issuable on exercise of the warrants.

On November 7, 2006, China Evergreen Environmental Corporation changed its name to China Water Group, Inc. to reflect its focus on China’s water treatment and supply needs and on build-operate-transfer(BOT), Transfer-operate-transfer(TOT), and turnkey wastewater treatment facilities in China, at the same time, bottled water is considered.

On December 29, 2007, we entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement, pursuant to which we transferred a 58% out of our 90% interest in our subsidiary Guangdong Xinxingmei Water Affairs Co, Ltd. (“GXWA”) to Wenning Pu, a 10% minority sharehoulder of GXWA for RBM7,308,600 (approximately $1,000,000). After the transaction,  our ownership of GXWA was reduced from 90% to 32% and Wenning Pu’s ownership of GXWA was increased from 10% to 68%. The proceeds of the sale will be used for our working capital.

On December 31, 2007, China Water Group Inc. signed a contract with Fortune Luck Global International Limited to acquire 90 percent of the equity interest of Aba Xinchen Dagu Glacier Spring Co., Limited through its subsidiary Guangzhou Xinchen Water Company. The consideration for the acquisition is $13.45 million dollars, of which $7.5 million will be paid in cash, and the remaining $5.95 million will be paid in our common stock.  As of November 20,2009, we have paid a total  of $ 7.5 million cash, but hadn’t issued any shares towards the purchase price. Acquiring this asset has allowed us to enter the bottled water business with our own high quality water source.

On December 30, 2008, we entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement, pursuant to which China Water Group Inc transferred 100% interest in Evergreen Asset Group Limited  to  Whole Treasure Investment Ltd. , a BVI company. The proceeds of the sale will be used for our working capital , mainly to develop the bottled water market and trademark building.

Our Corporate headquarters is located in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China

Our Business

General

We are a PRC based waste water engineering company and are engaged in  repositioning ourselves to be a bottled water production, sales and marketing company . Through our majority-owned subsidiaries, we have been engaged in the design, construction, implementation and management of industrial and municipal waste water treatment facilities throughout the PRC.  Starting 2009 we  will reposition our business focus to bottled water production, sales and distribution in the PRC.

Our waste water engineering business was originally established in 1999 by our Chairman, Mr. Chong Liang Pu, with a focus on developing innovative biochemical technologies and processes for waste water treatment. We have the exclusive rights to MHA biological treatment processes technologies (“MHA”) and GM Bio-carriers. Both are the subject of patents owned by our Chairman, Mr. Pu, and we have acquired the exclusive rights pursuant to a license agreement with Mr. Pu. Both technologies were developed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of waste water treatment processes and reduce the initial investment and on-going operating cost of waste water treatment facilities.

We have applied biotechnological processes to waste water treatment and have developed relationships with the PRC environmental authorities at both national and provincial levels throughout the PRC. Since 2000, we have successfully completed the design and construction of over 15 waste water facilities across China with total daily capacity of over 130,000 tons (inclusive of  five BOT waste water treatment facilities with daily capacity of 123,000 tons). Our customers include municipal governments, food processing and beverage companies and industrial companies.

As a result of these achievements, we have been recognized as a “Key Enterprise in Environmental Industry in the PRC” by the General Bureau of Environmental Protection of China and are viewed as a “High-Tech Enterprise” by the Bureau of Science and Technology of Guangzhou, PRC.

BOTTLED WATER OPERATIONS

In 2007 we entered into an agreement with Fortune Luck Global International Limited to secure a high quality source of natural drinking water from the Dagu glacier.  During the calendar years 2007 and 2008 we conducted a limited test market of bottled water in Guangzhou.Management was satisfied with the results and intends to expand this business to make it the main business of the Company in the future. At the beginning of 2008, we started developing the  bottled water business. The Company established development and branding strategies for the bottled water business, managed to set up four regional sales centers in the cities of Shanghai , Beijing, Chengdu and Guangzhou, as part of the strategy to promote our products in China’s major cities. The May 12th earthquake in Sichuan, however, had a severe impact on our marketing efforts, as the earthquake damaged the roads between Aba, where our production is located, and Chengdu. The roads did not reopen until November 2008. Our agreement with Fortune Luck Global has been filed as an exhibit to this report.

The Global Industry for Bottled Water.   

According to Datamonitor, the global bottled water market reached a value of $61.0 billion in 2006 and is forecasted to have a value of $86.4 billion in 2011, an increase of 41.6%. In 2006, global volume of bottled water was 115.4 billion liters and is expected to be 174.2 billion liters in 2011, an increase of 51.0%. On a consumption per capita basis, United Arab Emirates holds the leading position with 260 liters of bottled water consumption per capita in 2007, followed by Mexico and Italy. The global average consumption per capita is 29 liters, but China consumes only approximately 14 liters of bottled water per capita. If China's consumption per capita grew to the global average of 29 liters, it would represent a 110% increase (or an additional 20 billion liters) in consumption of bottled water. If China's consumption per capita grew to the average consumption per capita of the top 10 countries, it would represent over a 1,000% increase (or an additional 184 billion liters) in consumption of bottled water.

The Chinese Bottled Water Industry.

In China, water resources per capita are only 28% of the world average. Compounding the lack of water resources, the State Environment Protection Administration of China estimated in 2007 that tap water in one-half of China's major cities was polluted by industrial chemicals and agriculture fertilizers. A large amount of wastewater is directly discharged into water bodies, and industrial wastewater treatment has not been completely established, resulting in serious water pollution problems. Safe drinking water is a priority in China, and given the lack of wastewater treatment plants, the drinking water issues are not likely to be solved in the near future.China's bottled water industry started to grow as drinking water quality in China began to deteriorate. The market grew at a compound rate of around 37% yearly from 1994 to 2005. According to the Beverage Marketing Corporation, China was the fastest growing consumer of bottled  water in the world with a 17.5% compounded annual growth rate from 2002 to 2007, double the next fastest growing country, the United States. Although China was the fastest growing and third largest consumer of bottled water, it represented less than one-half of the world's per capita average of liters consumed and only 11% of the per capita average of liters consumed of the top 20 countries.

Industry Background

Waste Water Treatment Markets in the PRC . The waste water treatment business is in a developmental stage in China. Following decades of rapid industrialization and urbanization resulting from PRC’s breakneck economic expansion, demands for urban and industrial waste water treatment are immense. In 2002, total volume of municipal and industrial waste water produced reached 23 billion and 26 billion tons, respectively, of which only approximately 25% was treated in some form. The PRC government, which views environmental issues as a priority policy, has targeted a 90% treatment ratio by 2030. This targeted growth, combined with a policy of privatizing all existing government facilities, is resulting in extraordinarily high levels of expansion in an industry that did not effectively exist until the 1980s.

In order to promote investment in the waste water treatment industry, the central government has created incentives such as tax relief and higher throughput fees which can improve the profitability of certain municipal projects.

Under the tax regulations in the PRC, companies providing water purification are exempted from business tax on the collection of waste water treatment fees. The PRC government also gives tax relief in the form of reduction in or exemption from value-added tax and income tax to encourage treated water to be reused in residential, agricultural, commercial and industrial sectors.

The PRC government introduced a policy in relation to water supply tariff management methods for the water-resource system which became effective in January 2004. The new policy prescribes a water tariff approach, comprising of water production costs, expenses, profit, and tax. Pertinent pricing is expected to be in accord with local market demand.

Before the 1990s, water tariffs were extremely low, and there were no wastewater discharge fees. People were more concerned with water quality than with the price and quantity they used. As citizens now pay closer attention to water quality, they expect higher prices to accompany water quality improvements. Therefore, water tariff and wastewater treatment throughput fees, especially in the cities, are rising to levels that potentially allow our business to operate profitably.

Fresh Water Markets . Before 2003, the facilities for fresh water supply in the PRC were owned and operated by the agencies of local governments. As industrial, economic and population growth and chronic pollution have placed intense demands on the water supply in China, the fresh water supply has had serious shortages. Similar to the waste water treatment industry, the PRC government has opened up the fresh water supply business to private sector and international operators.

        Bottled Water Markets . The bottled water industry in PRC is in the stage of rapid and continuous growth and development. Globally, according to recently published data from consultancy firm Beverage Marketing Corporation (BMC), from 2002 to 200 PRC was the fastest growing country in the world in terms of consumption of bottled water, showing a compound annual growth rate of 17.5%, doubling the next fastest growing country, the United States. With the growth in demand and addition of new industry participants offering new and varied bottled water products, management believes that the Chinese bottled water industry is posed for significant growth.

Our Business Waste Water Related Activities

There are different types and quantities of pollutants in water due to the environment, conditions and purpose for which the water is used. Municipal water has organic matters including nitrogen and phosphorus. The composition of such municipal wastewater is relatively stable. In contrast, pollutants in water discharged from industries include organic pollutants, inorganic matters, metal ions and salt ion. We adopt varying treatment processes for different industrial wastewater.

We provided turn-key engineering, equipment and chemical sales for industrial and municipal waste water treatment facilities in the PRC. We also invest in, manage and operate our own water treatment facilities through BOT arrangements in the PRC.

The following chart describes the waste water treatment process that we service:

Turn-Key Waste Water Engineering. We provide turn-key waste water treatment engineering services to both public and private sectors. Our public sector clients include municipal governments at the city, district and town levels. Our private sector clients include heavy industries, such as steel, car manufacturing, electronic; light industries, such as chemical, food and beverage, paper, printing and breweries; and others, including hospitals and the pharmaceutical industry. The industrial wastewater qualities differ due to the different industrial products and manufacturing processes.

These contracts are awarded either by public tender or by direct contract. A typical turn-key waste water treatment project can be classified into three phases; (1) survey and design, (2) construction and equipment installation, and (3) operation and management services.  However, commencing in 2007, we discontinued initiating new turn-key projects.

From 2000 to 2007, we completed the following turn-key projects: Yongji Development Zone Wastewater Treatment Plant (Phase 1), Guangdong Nanhai City Jinsha Town Wastewater Treatment Plant, Guangdong Sanshui Baini Wastewater Treatment Plant and Guangzhou Yantang Wastewater Treatment Plant, Tianjin City Meichang Town Wastewater Treatment Plant,Yongji Development Zone Wastewater Treatment Plant (Phase 2), China Environment Industrial Park Wastewater Treatment Plant ,Huangzhuang Industrial Park Wastewater Treatment Plant and Tian Jin WuQing No.1 Waste Water Treatment Factory.

We financed our turn-key projects through progressive payments from our customers as stipulated in the agreements for these projects.

Investment in BOT Waste Water Treatment Facilities. We also invest in waste water treatment facilities through BOT arrangements. BOT projects provide us with a stable income source under a long-term (usually 20-30 year) contract granted by municipal governments to build and operate waste water plants. BOT project land is typically contributed by the municipal government with the operator providing investment and daily management. After the contract period, the project is transferred to the local government. After we secure a contract for a BOT project from a municipal government and the financing for such project is in place, we will proceed to construct the facility. After the completion of construction and testing and commissioning, we will operate the waste water treatment facility for a period of 20-25 years as stipulated in the BOT contract.

We have been financing the BOT projects of TianJing, XinLe and HaiYang through capital injectionsand funds generated from our operations. We will finance the remaining capital expenditure of HanDan of approximately $2 million through funds generated from our operations.

Our Production Process

 Waste Water treatment Though the chemicals used for treating municipal and industrial wastewater qualities are different due to the different sources of wastewater for municipal wastewater treatment and different industrial product and manufacturing process for industrial wastewater treatment, the treatment processes are largely similar.

During the wastewater treatment process, the wastewater is first collected by a pipeline network system and then transported to a sand sedimentation pool. The wastewater will then go through the MHA waste water treatment process, which is a natural, chemical-free, biological and mineral-based process that facilitates the rapid growth of bacteria in order to improve the efficiency of degrading the micro-organism materials in the wastewater and for more efficient operation and reduced energy consumption. After the MHA waste water treatment process, the wastewater is then transported to the sedimentation pool to remove the fine particles in the wastewater. The wastewater will then be sterilized in the sterilization pool and be transported to the water outlet.

Bottled Water  Raw water flows into water processing workshop through the stainless steel pipe, after sand filtration, carbon filtration, membrane filtration and ozone sterilizing, the  water will be bring into containers. Then the wter will be poured into PET bottle  automatically by aseptic operation.  Then these products will be packed and transported to the market.

Our Project Management Process

The following is the flow chart of our project management process for both turn-key wastewater engineering projects and BOT projects:

 
12

 


Market Intelligence . The starting point for all our projects was market intelligence so that our management was able to decide which projects they wished to secure for the benefit of the company. Our marketing personnel were in charge of market information on potential projects on a regular and ad-hoc basis. Our management was able to identify and decide on projects which we might potentially bid for.

Project Tracking . Based on the information gathered through market intelligence and the subsequent comprehensive analysis conducted on such information, our management  decided  which projects to pursue. We carried out internal evaluations which consist of three steps: initial evaluation, revaluation and valuation by professionals. We also engaged external advisors to carry out external evaluation. We  then embarked on determining what the tender rules and conditions are and the capital requirements and technologies used for the project. Project tracking allowed us to plan ahead and make the necessary cost planning.

Tender Process . Once we decided to proceed to tender for a particular project, we formed a tender committee comprising marketing personnel and technical personnel, who were responsible for compiling the tender documents to be submitted for tender within the stipulated deadline. The tender committee compiled internal costing and budgetary estimates of labor and material costs based on quotations from the relevant suppliers and factor in a suitable profit margin in determining our tender pricing.

Design and Development. After signing of the contract, we appointed a project team to be responsible for the execution of the project, including an ad-hoc research and development team to handle the design and development of that particular project. The research and development team followed our overall guidelines to analyze, assess and determine the design and specifications of a system which ensured that all of our customers’ requirements were met. The design and development process included collection of information, site survey, key design concept, design specification, individual design, evaluation, revaluation and issue for construction. In addition to our own design and development capabilities, we have also entered into collaboration arrangements with other parties to test our equipment to ensure its suitability and effectiveness.

Procurement. After the necessary design and analysis, the specifications of the system were confirmed, and our procurement department proceeded to purchase all the materials and equipment required or appoint appropriate sub-contractors to carry out certain parts of the project.

Construction . The construction process included sub-contracting and site supervision. During construction, we sent site representatives to control and supervise the construction.

 
13

 

Assembly and Installation . We will carried out assembly and installation of equipment and/or system and coordinate the assembly and installation fully with the construction process to ensure all equipment and/or system were properly assembled and installed. We sent technical staff to assist and guide the assembly and installation.

Testing . After the equipment and/or system was assembled and installed, we tested the system in accordance with industrial and national rules and regulations formulated by the relevant PRC authorities.

Commissioning and Fine-Tuning . For turn-key projects, should the system pass all tests, we proceeded to hand over the system to our customers. 5%-10% of the total contract value was be treated as retention monies during the warranty period of up to 12 months requirement. Our technical personnel carried out fine-tuning and on-site services. After successful commissioning of the entire system, the retention monies were paid by our customers to us after the warranty period of up to 12 months. For BOT projects, the plant started operation after passing all tests. The technical team carried out fine-tuning and on-site services. The operation team followed the operational guidelines and monitor the quality of treated water.

Competition

We believe our main competitor in waste water treatment business was Beijing Capital Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Capital”), a subsidiary of Capital Group, which has identified investment, development, operation and management in the PRC water industry as its core business. Beijing Capital provides environment management services. We also competed with many other regional environmental and water treatment companies. We believe that we compete primarily on the basis of contract pricing and capital. Though many of our competitors offer similar but less cost-effective services, they may have greater financial resources and hence be able to secure contracts with reduced operating margins but more competitive pricing. However, we believed that as a result of our cost efficiency through our patented technologies, we were able to offer much more competitive pricing. In addition, having access to the capital markets in the United States through our public listing helped us to differentiate ourselves from our competitors. Another area of competition came from local protectionism where local governments wish to protect local environmental businesses. In order for us to overcome this kind of competition, we relied on our financial and technical resources.

We believe our main competitor in bottled water business is Evian, a French bottled water company which entered China more than 10 years ago and occupied the biggest share of the Chinese market for branded bottled water . Several other local brands of high level bottled water companies recently entered the market and have relatively small market shares.  We believe that acquiring a 90% equity interest in a high quality water source within China will give us a competitive advantage in the bottled water business as we seek to expand this business.

Our Competitive Strengths

Key elements of our competitive strengths include:

Capital Resources On one hand, the threshold of capital requirements for entering the waste water treatment segment and the initial capital investment of waste water treatment facilities and projects, especially BOT projects, is relatively high. On the other hand, the bottled water business requires capital to build a marketing network and brand image in the targeted market. We believe we are capable of obtaining sufficient capital resources to fund our operation of an expanded bottled water business.  We also believe that additional capital will be available to us on a time to time basis as we dispose of our remaining waste water treatment facilities..

 
14

 

We place great emphasis on high quality bottled water marketing and  brand building also concentrate more on technical research and development, and typically set up research and development teams for specific projects to handle the design, development and improvement of such projects.

 We are  building our bottled water market network in China’s principal cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu, and have developed more than 300 distribution channels to sell our 9000-Year Old Glacier Spring Water, mainly luxury hotels, restaurants, chain stores and supermarkets, chambers of commerce, beauty parlors and other outlets.

Customers, Sales and Marketing

Many of our principal customers in our waste water treatment business were local governments, food and beverage processing companies and industrial companies that used our technologies to treat their waste water.  In our bottled water business, the main customers are the retail stores our wholesale distributors and our ultimate customers are  middle class, and wealthy families, large companies and government offices  as they are more sensitive to and will pay a premium for food and water that is perceived to be safer.

In 2008, the Group’s major customer was Hai Yang City Zoning and Construction Management Bureau, an independent third party, which, accounted for approximately 79% of the Group’s total revenue of 2008. Revenue from Hai Yang City Zoning and Construction Management Bureau was for the BOT wastewater treatment services of Haiyang City Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Research and Development

 Waste Water treatment  Our research and development efforts were directed toward enhancing our existing technology and products and developing our next generation of technology. We are no longer engaged in Research and Development with respect to waste water treatment.


Bottled Water  Given high market demand for bottled water, we have established an R&D department responsible for expanding product lines and putting in market a series of products to meet different demands of market segments so as to increase the market coverage.
  
Quality Control

In connection with our waste water treatment business, our quality control department was headed by Luo Huizhong, who has more than 15 years of relevant experience. Mr. Luo has been a chief engineer at several companies, and Vice general engineer of our company, and he is familiar with resource allocation, quality control and environmental facility management control.  We no longer have a quality control department for waste water treatment.

 
15

 

Quality Control  during  production for bottled water .  We have established at the factory  a  department and  laboratory facilities to ensure the high quality of our products. Specific proceedures include testing at each stage such as water source, water treatment, bottling, packaging, and finished products to ensure our products are meeting all healthy water standards and the expectations of our customers.

Cooperative Partners and Suppliers for Waste Water Treatment

We outsourced the design and construction of our subsystems to a number of cooperative partners and key suppliers and maintain close relationships with them. Our cooperative partners include North-Eastern Environmental Protection Design Institute, Guangdong Province Environmental Protection Design Institute, and the 20 th Group of China Railway Company. We have signed cooperative agreements with these cooperative partners. North-Eastern Environmental Protection Design Institute provides technical support in the design of waste water treatment facilities and preparation for the tendering of projects, 20 th Group of China Railway Company evaluates all documents and information required for tendering while Guangdong Province Environmental Protection Design Institute evaluates feasibility and acceptability of the blue prints of the facilities. Compensation for our cooperative partners were based on amount of work done.

North-Eastern Environmental Protection Design Institute was established in 1961 in the city of Changchun. The institute focuses on design of, research in and provision of consultancy services for municipal infrastructure construction works including water supply, waste water treatment, waste treatment, energy supply, construction of road and bridges, public transport and reforestation of cities etc. The institute also provides other services in relation to civil construction works for municipal projects like feasibility studies for projects, evaluation of projects, project management and project supervision.

The Guangdong Province Environmental Protection Design Institute was established in 1990. Over the years, the institute has gained experiences in the design, management, treatment and turn-key engineering of waste water, air pollution, noise pollution and waste residue. The institute has achieved remarkable results especially in waste water treatment for the printing and dyeing, electroplating, brewing, pharmaceutical, chemical and food & beverages industries.

The 20 th Group of China Railway is a large-scale construction company in the PRC. The history of the 20 th Group of China Railway dated back to the year 1949. The company has enormous experience in the construction of railway systems in the PRC and related infrastructure including road construction, water supply, energy supply, waste water treatment, urban and rural planning, municipal projects etc. The company is also involved in many large scale construction projects overseas.

There are three main types of equipment for our waste water treatment and potable water projects: (i) electrical equipment which includes various types of sewage pumps, slush pumps and other water pumps, separators, sludge scrapers, mixers, air compressors, filters, dehydrators, blow fans, etc; (ii) automated control systems and electrical parts; and (iii) various test, analysis, detection and monitoring instruments. All purchases from foreign companies are made through their authorized dealers/agents in the PRC. We adhere closely to the principles of total quality management. Our customers, suppliers and employees are encouraged to provide feedback and suggestions for improvements in products and services.

Intellectual Property

Waste Water treatment  We seek to protect our intellectual property by way of our license rights to patents on proprietary features of our advanced bio-chemical treatment technology and processing systems for waste water treatment and by challenging third parties that we believe infringe on our licensed patents. We have obtained the exclusive right to use two patents owned by our Chairman, Mr. Pu, for our MHA and GM Bio-carriers technologies. We also protect our intellectual property rights with nondisclosure and confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants and key customers.

Specifically, we have registered the following patents with the State Intellectual Property Office of the PRC:

 
MHA biological treatment process technology (PRC Patent No. ZL 01 1 07637.2) applied on March 14, 2001, declared effective on March 3, 2004 with a duration of 20 years from the date of application; and

 
GM Bio carriers (PRC Patent No. ZL 01 1 07624.0) applied on March 8, 2001, declared effective on September 10, 2003 with a duration of 20 years from the date of application.

Bottled water   We are the only bottled water company in China  that has registered with the State Industrial and Commercial Bureau our “9000-year” trade mark

Employees

As of December 31, 2008, we had 58 employees, of whom 27 were in bottled water operations of whom 18 were engaged in sales, marketing and services, the others in accounting and administration. We also had 31 employees in our waste water treatment. 5 were engaged in sales, marketing and service, 5 in research, development and engineering, 10 in finance and administration and 11  in operations. None of our employees is represented by a collective bargaining agreement, and we believe that we have satisfactory relations with our employees.

Environmental Regulation

One of our core values is protecting the environment in which we operate and the environment in which our equipment operates. Compliance with laws and regulations regarding the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, has not had any material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. We do not anticipate any material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities in 2009.

Regulation
 
The PRC’s numerous ongoing water reforms are moving toward a user-pay, market-driven sector. Legislation serves as the basis to regulate and enforce these reforms. The Water Resource Law, amended and put into effect on October 1, 2002, significantly changes water resource management systems, water resource protection, water conservation, and legal responsibilities.

Environmental Laws and Regulations

In the PRC, environmental laws and regulations are stipulated and implemented through legislation and through administrative authorities at various levels of government. Current environmental laws and regulations can be classified into two categories: environmental management and environmental pollution prevention and control. All environmental laws and regulations are stipulated on the basis of the Environmental Protection Law (EPL). EPL, effective in December 1989, sets the framework for environmental management and pollution control legislation in the PRC.

 
18

 
 
Environmental Management Law and Regulations. The PRC’s environmental management measures include environmental impact assessment (EIA), the Three Synchronies Policy, permitting requirements, and reporting requirements. Each of these is described below:

 
1.
Environmental impact assessment . The 1989 Environmental Impact Assessment Law was revised in October 2002. These revisions became effective in September 2003 and apply to all construction projects that may negatively impact the environment. An EIA must be prepared during the project feasibility stage to assess the project’s environmental impact. EIA approval is necessary to secure a construction and operating permit.

 
2.
Three Synchronies Policy . Article 26 of the EPL defines the Three Synchronies Policy as the installation of pollution prevention and control facilities in a construction project to be undertaken concurrently with the main construction phase. The pollution prevention and control facilities are to be installed and commissioned only after they are inspected and approved by the Environmental Protection Bureau (EPB).

 
3.
Permitting requirements . Pollution discharges in the PRC are subject to registration and permitting requirements. The EPL defines requirements for pollution discharge registration and permits. Pollution discharges must be registered with the relevant environmental authority. A pollution discharge permit is issued after registration. The Management Regulation on the Registration of Discharged Pollutants, issued by the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA), effective Oct. 1, 1992, details requirements for pollution discharge registration. At the state level, the Department of Pollution Control under SEPA implements pollution discharge registration and permitting policies. Pollution control departments under local EPBs are in charge of the registration procedures and issue a pollution discharge permit.

 
4.
Reporting requirements. According to Article 31 of the EPL, any organization that causes or has a potential to cause an accident resulting in environmental pollution must promptly take measures to prevent and control the pollution hazard and notify the relevant authorities. In addition, enterprises and institutions that have a greater likelihood to cause severe pollution accidents must adopt effective pollution prevention measures.

Environmental Pollution Law and Regulation . Environmental pollution prevention and control measures in the PRC apply to various environmental media, including water, water supply, wastewater discharge, air emissions, hazardous waste management, noise, and soil and groundwater. In November 2004, the management rules regarding environmental pollution prevention facilities operation permit was enacted and it set forth the requirements for getting a permit and how the facilities must be operated.

The following is a summary of environmental pollution laws and regulations regarding water, water supply and waste water discharge in the PRC:

Three laws apply to the water sector:

 
1.
The Water Resources Law emphasizes the uniform management of river basins and the macro-management of water distribution and consumption. In addition, the law identifies a water quality management system.

 
19

 
 
 
2.
The 1984 Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law (WPL) applies to discharges to rivers, lakes, canals, reservoirs, and groundwater. The WPL contains sections pertaining to water quality and discharge standards, pollution prevention, surface water, and groundwater. Amendments in 1996 introduced further controls on river basins, including requirements for cities and towns to establish central sewage treatment plants and to set treatment fees, mass-loading controls, provisions for strengthening the supervision and management of water pollution, and non-point-source pollution controls.

 
3.
The Implementation Regulation of Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law was enacted on March 20, 2000. This law regulates the supervision and management of surface and ground water pollution, prevention, and control measures.

Water supply. In urban areas, water is usually supplied by the municipal water utility companies, which are responsible for ensuring that water quality complies with the National Drinking Water Standard (GB5749-85). A groundwater abstraction permit is required if any company intends to use groundwater directly. In the northern part of the PRC, however, the use of groundwater is strictly controlled because of significant water shortages and ground settlement issues. Users must apply to provincial or higher level administrative committees for a groundwater abstraction permit.

Wastewater discharge. Two types of wastewater discharge systems are defined in the PRC: (1) polluted wastewater discharges (typically industrial and domestic wastewater) and (2) non-polluted wastewater discharges (for example, storm water). Separate drainage systems for polluted and non-polluted discharges are required for a facility in which a municipal sewer system is available.

Bottled water sales For a company to sell bottled water products, the company must obtain a State issued certificate for water source, and meets the State QA standard and State requirements of the Food Safety Law and Drinking Natural Mineral Water Standard.  We have obtained the necessary certificates and believe that we meet all standards.

Environmental Enforcement

In the PRC, methods of enforcing environmental legislation include discharge fees, surcharge fees, fines, and administrative sanctions. Pollutant discharge activity is subject to a discharge permit, which must be registered and obtained before the pollutants are generated.

In major pollution control areas, such as Shanghai and Beijing, mass-loading targets are established and allocated to major emission facilities by the local EPB. In some pilot locations, emission quotas can be traded among facilities.

In areas with significant pollution problems, such as those impacted by sulfur dioxide emissions, acid rain, and water quality deterioration, specific discharge limitations are adopted to prevent further degradation.
 
There are specific items within the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China and the PRC Criminal Law to strengthen the enforcement of environmental legislation by disciplinary sanction, civil liability, and even criminal liability. Disciplinary sanctions may come in the form of a warning, a fine, a requirement to install environmental protection equipment, or a requirement to cease operations. Criminal liability can also be passed on to the legal representative of an enterprise if the polluting activity caused severe damage to property, health, or interests of the state or its citizens. In these cases, the individual deemed responsible may be prosecuted. Civil liability also exists and is aimed at activities that may result in civil disputes. Generally, the dispute may be settled through financial compensation by the facility that caused the damage.

Currently, the industry of waste water treatment is facing more intense competition. The industry itself requires large investment in capital coupled with low rates of return over long periods. We have determined that we lack the available capital resources and support to expand our business in waste water treatment. Management believes it is in the shareholders’ interest to switch our business line from waste water treatment to bottled water mining, distribution and sales as there is currently no premium national bottled glacier water brand in the PRC creating a market opportunity for the Company.

Our transition from a waste water treatment company with a BOT model to a premium bottled water production, distribution and marketing company will occur over several years as our BOT operations are disposed of fromtime to time as opportunities present themselves to us and our capital resources and efforts are devoted to expanding bottled water operations.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

You should carefully consider the risks described below, which constitute the material risks facing us.  If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be harmed. You should also refer to the other information about us contained in this Form 10-K, including our financial statements and related notes.

Risks Related to Our Business

We are dependent on economic conditions in the  PRCs  as all of our business is conducted in the PRC. All of our business operations are conducted in the PRC and all of our customers are also located in the PRC. We operate our new bottled water business internally in the PRC.  Accordingly, any significant slowdown in the PRC economy may cause the waste water treatment industry to reduce expenditure or delay the building of new facilities or projects for waste water treatment. This may in turn lead to a decline in the demand for our BOT products and services, and may reduce our profitability and the return on your investment.  Also, a general economic slowdown has is currently underway may reduce demand for premium bottled water and limit the growth of those operations.

Failure to retain services of key personnel will affect our operations and results . Our success to date has been largely due to the contributions of our executive officers. The continued success of our business is very much dependent on the goodwill that they have developed in the industry over the past several years.

Our continued success is dependent, to a large extent, on our ability to retain the services of our executive officers. The loss of any of our executive officers’ services due to resignation, retirement, illness or otherwise without suitable replacement or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel would affect our operations and may reduce our profitability and the return on your investment.

We may not be able to protect our processes, technologies and systems against claims by other parties. Although we have two registered patents in respect of the processes, technologies and systems we use frequently in our systems, we have not purchased or applied for any patents other than these as we are of the view that it may not be cost-effective to do so. For such other processes, technologies and systems for which we have not applied for or purchased or been licensed to use patents, we may have no legal recourse to protect our rights in the event that they are replicated by other parties. If our competitors are able to replicate our processes, technologies and systems at lower costs, we may lose our competitive edge and our profitability may be reduced.

 
21

 

We may face claims for infringement of third-party intellectual property rights . We may face claims from third parties in respect of the infringement of any intellectual property rights owned by such third parties. There is no assurance that third parties will not assert claims to our processes, technologies and systems. In such an event, we may need to acquire licenses to, or to contest the validity of, issued or pending patents or claims of third parties. There can be no assurance that any license acquired under such patents would be made available to us on acceptable terms, if at all, or that we would prevail in any such contest. In addition, we would incur substantial costs and spend substantial amounts of time in defending ourselves in or contesting suits brought against us for alleged infringement of another party’s patent rights. As such, our operations and business may be adversely affected by such civil actions.

We rely on trade secrets, technology and know-how, which we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality provisions in contracts with our customers and our employees. There can be no assurance that these agreements will not be breached, or that we will have adequate remedies for any breach, or that other parties may not obtain knowledge of our trade secrets and processes, technology and systems. Should these events occur, our business would be affected and hence, our profitability, may be reduced.

We may require additional funding for our future growth. Our future growth will depend, to a large extent, on our ability to establish our bottled water products through advertising and to develop a manufacturing and distribution network  which requires a high amount of capital investment. In order to obtain additional capital to develop these growth opportunities, we may issue additional shares of our equity securities. If new shares placed to new and/or existing shareholders are issued, they may be priced at a discount to the then prevailing market price of our shares, in which case, existing shareholders’ equity interests may be diluted. If we fail to utilize the new equity to generate a commensurate increase in earnings, our earnings per share will be diluted, and this could lead to a decline in our share price. Any additional debt financing may, apart from increasing interest expense, contain restrictive covenants with respect to dividends, future fund-raising exercises and other financial and operational matters.

Our customers may make claims against us and/or terminate our services, in whole or in part, prematurely should we fail to implement projects that fully satisfy their requirements and expectations . Failure to implement projects that fully satisfy the requirements and expectations of our customers or defective system structure or products as a result of design or workmanship or due to acts of nature may lead to claims against us and/or termination of our services, in whole or in part, prematurely. This may arise from a variety of factors including unsatisfactory design or implementation, staff turnover, human errors or misinterpretation of and failure to adhere to regulations and procedures. This may adversely affect our reputation and may reduce our profitability.

Our Waste Water Treatment Operations rely on a few major suppliers . We are dependent on our major suppliers for the timely delivery of materials and equipment that we require for the waste water treatment  systems we operatel. Should our major suppliers fail to deliver the materials and equipment on time, and if we are unable to source these materials and equipment from alternative suppliers on a timely basis, our operations could be adversely affected. This, in turn, would adversely affect our reputation if our customers lose confidence in our services and as a result, reduce our revenue and profitability.

 
22

 

 BOT projects require high capital commitments . We have  invested capital in BOT projects which require high up-front capital expenditures. Our returns from BOT projects are derived from fees paid by the PRC and other governmental customers and such BOT projects are able to generate a steady and recurring source of income for us over a sustained period of time between 20 and 25 years. However, our BOT projects are exposed to risks such as the occurrence of natural disasters or the imposition of more stringent government regulations, which may result in the disruption of our BOT projects. Our investment returns from these BOT projects may thus be reduced should any of such risks materialize.

We rely on subcontractors for our BOT projects . As we may, from time to time, subcontract some parts of our projects to subcontractors, such as engineering, assembly and integration works, we face the risk of unreliability of work performed by our subcontractors. Should our subcontractors default on their contractual obligations and work specifications, our ability to deliver the end product or service to our customers in accordance with quality and/or timing specifications may, in turn, be compromised. Furthermore, if we are unable to secure competitive rates from our subcontractors, our profitability may be reduced.

We are subject to foreign exchange risks . Our dominant transactional currency is the Chinese RMB, including the cost of materials which are imported by our suppliers. With costs mainly denominated in RMB, our transactional foreign exchange exposure for the past few years has been insignificant. However, as our suppliers take into account the fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when they price the imported materials which we procure from them, such fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may result in changes in the purchase price of imported materials. Any future significant fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may have a material impact on our financial performance in the event that we are unable to transfer the increased costs to our customers.

Since our subsidiaries, operations and significant assets are located in the PRC, shareholders may find it difficult to enforce a U.S. judgment against the assets of our company, our directors and executive officers . Our subsidiaries’ operations and significant assets are located in the PRC. In addition, all of our executive officers and our directors are non-residents of the U.S., and substantially all the assets of these persons are located outside the U.S. As a result, it could be difficult for investors to effect service of process in the U.S., or to enforce a judgment obtained in the U.S. against us or any of these persons.

Our operations could be adversely affected by changes in the political and economic conditions in the PRC . The PRC is our main market and accounted for all of our revenue in 2006. Therefore, we face risks related to conducting business in the PRC. Changes in the social, economic and political conditions of the PRC may adversely affect our business. Unfavorable changes in government policies, political unrest and economic developments may also have a negative impact on our operations.

Since the adoption of the “open door policy” in 1978 and the “socialist market economy” in 1993, the PRC government has been reforming and is expected to continue to reform its economic and political systems. Any changes in the political and economic policies of the PRC government may lead to changes in the laws and regulations or the interpretation of the same, as well as changes in the foreign exchange regulations, taxation and import and export restrictions, which may, in turn, adversely affect our financial performance. While the current policy of the PRC government seems to be one of imposing economic reform policies to encourage foreign investments and greater economic decentralization, there is no assurance that such a policy will continue to prevail in the future.

Introduction of new laws or changes to existing laws by the PRC government may adversely affect our business . The PRC legal system is a codified legal system made up of written laws, regulations, circulars, administrative directives and internal guidelines. Unlike common law jurisdictions like the U.S., decided cases (which may be taken as reference) do not form part of the legal structure of the PRC and thus have no binding effect. Furthermore, in line with its transformation from a centrally-planned economy to a more free market-oriented economy, the PRC government is still in the process of developing a comprehensive set of laws and regulations. As the legal system in the PRC is still evolving, laws and regulations or the interpretation of the same may be subject to further changes. For example, the PRC government may impose restrictions on the amount of tariff that may be payable by municipal governments to waste water treatment service providers like us. Also, more stringent environmental regulations may also affect our ability to comply with, or our costs to comply with, such regulations. Such changes, if implemented, may adversely affect our business operations and may reduce our profitability.

We may be subject to foreign exchange controls in the PRC . Our PRC subsidiaries are subject to PRC rules and regulations on currency conversion. In the PRC, the State Administration for Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) regulates the conversion of the RMB into foreign currencies. Currently, foreign investment enterprises (“FIEs”) are required to apply to SAFE for “Foreign Exchange Registration Certificate for FlEs”. All of our subsidiaries are FIEs. With such registration certifications (which need to be renewed annually), FlEs are allowed to open foreign currency accounts including the “recurrent account” and the “capital account”. Currently, conversion within the scope of the “recurrent account” can be effected without requiring the approval of SAFE. However, conversion of currency in the “capital account” (e.g. for capital items such as direct investments, loans, securities, etc.) still requires the approval of SAFE. Our operations and business may be adversely affected if conversion of currency in the “capital account” is not approved by the SAFE.

We have recently entered the bottled water business and will be subject to all of the risks of a new business enterprise.  Based on the results of a limited test marketing effort during calendar 2007 and 2008 we intend to devote our future efforts to producing and marketing branded bottled water in the PRC.  This is a new line of business for us and there are many risks attendant to entering a new line of business such as cost uncertainties, delays in production and acceptance of our product.   If we mismanage our production of branded bottled water or if we are unable to obtain market acceptance of our product at proposed price levels we are likely to fail in this business and this will negatively impact the value of our stock.

We may require additional financing.  In order to enter into the business of marketing premium branded bottled water we will require capital resources not currently available to us.  To raise the necessary funds we must obtain debt financing, sell an existing asset or issue additional shares to investors.  We do not have any agreements or commitments to do any of the foregoing.  Nor can we predict when or if funding will be available to us or if it will be available on terms that are beneficial to our current shareholders.

Our bottled water business may face increased competition. We believe that there is a pressing need for a premium pure, drinkable bottled water in the PRC.  Other companies with greater resources and other advantages over us, such as established distribution networks, may also perceive the need for premium bottled water in the PRC, enter our market and compete with us successfully and cause our results to suffer.

 
24

 

The success of our bottled water business is dependant on out preserving a reputation for purity.  Our premium bottled water will only be purchased by consumers if they can trust that it is pure and beneficial.  Accordingly, if we experience any quality control problems, our reputation might be tarnished and our proposed new business could fail.

Chong Liang Pu, our Chairman of the Board, is our controlling stockholder.  Chong Liang Pu, our Chairman of the Board owns 49,635,000 shares or 35.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of our company.  Due to his ownership of shares, Mr. Pu will be able to control the affairs of the Company for the foreseeable future.

Risks Related to Our Securities

A purchaser of our stock is purchasing penny stock which limits his or her ability to sell the stock.

Our shares of common stock are considered penny stock under the Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stock for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, thus limiting investment liquidity. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in our Company will be subject to rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stocks such as ours.

We do not intend to pay dividends and there will be less ways in which you can make a gain on any investment in our Company.

We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources may likely prohibit the payment of a dividend.
 
Our board of directors is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock, which may have rights and preferences detrimental to the rights of the holders of our common shares.

We are authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value.  To date we have not issued any shares of preferred stock and have no plans to do so.  Our preferred stock may bear such rights and preferences, including dividend and liquidation preferences, as the board of directors may fix and determine from time to time.  Any such preferences may operate to the detriment of the rights of the holders of our common shares.

Our Articles of Incorporation provide for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense and limit their liability which may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our shareholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers and/or directors.

Our Articles of Incorporation and applicable Delaware law provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on our behalf.  We will also bear the expenses of such litigation or any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person's promise to repay us, therefore, if it is ultimately determined that any such person should not have been entitled to indemnification this indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us, which we will be unable to recoup.

 
25

 

We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against these types of liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities registered in our SB-2, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter if it were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, either of which factors is are likely to materially reduce the market and price for our shares, if such a market ever develops.

ITEM 6.  SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

Not applicable
 
ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS of FINANCIAL CONDITIONS and REULTS OF OPERATION.
 
Year ended December 31, 2008 vs. Year ended December 31, 2007.
 
Revenues  Revenues from our bottled water operations increased from $0 in 2007 to $207,318  in 2008. The increase is because we did not have bottled water revenues prior to 2008.  In 2007 our revenues were from our discontinued BOT business.    Management anticipates that all future revenues will be from bottled water operations.
 
29

 
Cost of Revenues.  Cost of revenues from our bottled water operations increased from $0 in 2007 to $151,334 in 2008.  Costs related to our BOT business which we are discontinuing, are no longer includd in costs of revenues. .  Gross profit from battled water operations was $55,984 in 2008 as compared to$0 in 2007, reflecting our having bottled water operations.

Operating (General and Administrative) Expenses.  Our General administrative expenses increased  during 2008 to $1,332,124  which reflects the start up costs of our bottled water operations as compared to $0 in 2007 when we did not have bottled water operations.

Other Income.  The change on Other Income from  a loss of ($292,950) in 2007 to a gain of $991,900 principally due to a gain on derivative instruments of $1,143,355 in 2008 as compared to a loss of ($203,904) in 2007.   .
 
Comprehensive Loss  As a result of the foregoing factors, especially the Company’s incurring much of the negative impact of its move from waste water treatment as turn-key engineering or BOT basis to bottled water production, distribution and sales was incurred in 2008 and the Company’s stock price being relatively stable during 2008, comprehensive income (loss), which was a loss of $(1,233,768) in 2007 increased to ($2,555,045) in 2008.
 
Year ended December 31, 2007 vs. Year ended December 31, 2006.
 
Revenues  Revenues declined from $4,797,324 in 2006 to $1,554,624 in 2007, a decline of $3,242,700. $3,222,617 or approximately 99% of this decline of revenues was a decline of revenues from turn-key engineering projects – an area of its business which the Company has determined not to continue.  Revenues in other areas remain essentially unchanged.
 
Cost of Revenues.  Cost of revenues declined from $3,489,370 in 2006 to $1,323,523 in 2007 with virtually all of the decline being associated with costs associated with turn-key engineering projects (and sales taxes also associated with turn-key engineering projects.  The Company's other costs of revenue did not change appreciably.
 
Gross Profit.  Gross profit was reduced from $1,307,954 in 2006 to $231,101 in 2007 which reflected the lower level of operations as turn-key engineering projects were phased out during the year.

Operating (General and Administrative) Expenses.  Our General administrative expenses increased $1.37 million, or approximately 208%, to $2.03 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $0.66 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in the amount of general and administrative expenses was partly attributable to the increase of operating activities  and the necessary preparation to switch our business line from turn key and BOT waste water treatment to bottled water sales. As a percentage of net revenues, administrative expenses increased to 130% for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to 13.8 % for the year ended December 31, 2006.

30

 
Other Income.  The change on Other Income from $3,404,640 in 2006 to $36,250 in 2007 was almost entirely due to a gain on fair value of derivative instruments of $3,843,520 in 2006 as compared to a loss of $(203,904) in 2007. The main reason for the decrease is the share price of the company sharply shrank during 2007 compared with that of 2006. The calculation is based on the Black Sholes model.
 
Comprehensive Income.  The foregoing factors nearly balanced out between 2007 and 2006 and our comprehensive loss decreased slightly from $(1,274,001) in 2006 to $(1,106,659) in 2007.
 
Liquidity.
General. As of December 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $8,579. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statements periods presented in this report.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $5,225,599 for the year ended December 31, 2008, which is an increase of 7,464,128 from negative ($2,238,529) net cash provided by operating activities for the same period in 2007. The net inflow from the operating activities was mainly due to paymernts from related companies and reductions in prepayments, changing from a negative ($6,733,284)  to a positive $6,757,349.  Much of this resulted from receipt of payments from local governmental units.

Our future liquidity will be dependant on our ability to either obtain financing  or proceeds from the sale of our remaining BOT plants to fund our bottled water operations or our obtaining loans.  None of these events are entirely within our control.  If we do not receive additional cash resources, the scope of our production, marketing and distribution effort for our bottled water will be reduced.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The following is a discussion of those accounting policies that we deem to be “critical”— that is, they are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and they reflect management’s reliance on estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain.
 
Revenue recognition. We recognize revenue using various revenue recognition policies based on the nature of the sale and the terms of the contract.

Revenues from turn-key engineering projects are recognized on the percentage of completion method for individual contracts. We follow the guidance of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP)81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts, for our accounting policy relating to the use of the percentage-of-completion method, estimated costs and claim recognition for construction contracts. Revenues are recognized in the ratio that costs incurred bear to total estimated contract costs to the extent we believe related collection is probable. The use of the percentage of completion method of revenue recognition requires estimates of percentage of project completion. Changes in job performance, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income in the period in which the revisions are determined. Provisions for any estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determinable. In instances when the work performed on fixed price agreements is of relatively short duration, we use the completed contract method of accounting whereby revenue is recognized when the work is completed. 5% to 10% of the total contract value will be treated as retention monies withheld to ensure performance of contract during the warranty period of up to 12 months as stipulated in the fixed price contracts, both long term and short term.
 
Revenues arising from waste water treatment are recognized based on waste water treated as recorded daily by meters read at rates, in RMB/ton, as prescribed under the BOT agreements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin, (“SAB”) Topic 13 “Revenue Recognition”. We meet the following four criteria for revenue recognition outlined in SAB Topic 13:
 
 
1.
There is sufficient evidence to support that sales arrangements exist;
 
 
2.
The price to the buyer is fixed through signed contracts;
 
 
3.
Meter readings illustrate that delivery of treated waste water has occurred; and
 
 
4.
Collectability is reasonably assured through one or more of the following: due diligence prior to contract signing; historical payment practices; or required upfront payments.
 
32

 
Revenues from sale of environment protection related products and provision of technical services are recognized when goods are delivered or as services are performed. The contractual terms of the purchase agreements or consultancy agreements dictate the recognition of revenues by us. We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No.104. Accordingly, four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1)persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2)delivery has occurred; (3)the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4)collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3)and (4)are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products or services delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. We defer any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that we and our customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.
 
Impairment of assets. Our policy is to periodically review and evaluate whether there has been a permanent impairment in the value of long-lived assets. Factors considered in the evaluation include current operating results, trends and whether the anticipated undiscounted estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying value.
 
Allowances for accounts receivables. Our provisioning policy for bad and doubtful debt is based on the evaluation of collectability and aging analysis of accounts receivables and on management’s judgment. We do not require collateral or other security to support clients’ receivables. We conduct periodic review of our clients’ financial condition and customer payment practice to minimize collection risk on accounts receivables. This review is based on considerable amount of judgment which is required in assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each customer. As of December 31, 2008, we had not made any allowance for doubtful debts.
 
Credit Policy. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, our accounts receivables were  $18,172 and US $0 million, respectively. The increase in accounts receivables in 2008 was due to the new bottled water operation in 2008.. There is no allowance for doubtful amounts for 2007 or 2008

For turn-key projects, we billed our customers based on the percentage of completion as set forth in the contract signed with our customers whereas for BOT projects, we start billing our customers monthly once the wastewater treatment facilities start operation for the operating period as stipulated in the BOT agreements.
 
33

 
Financial Instruments. The Company conducted a private placement in April 2005 (“April Private Placement”) of 20 investment units, at $25,000 per unit, for gross proceeds of $500,000. Each unit consisted of (a) a 12% convertible debenture in the original principal amount of $25,000, convertible into shares of our common stock at the rate of the lesser of (i) $0.20 per share or (ii) a 10% discount to the price per share of common stock (or conversion price per share of common stock) of the next private placement conducted by us prior to any conversion of the debenture, and (b) 125,000 detachable warrants to purchase one share each of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, expiring ten years from their date of issuance (“April Warrants”). As a result of the September 2005 private placement, pursuant to Section 5(d) of the warrant agreement, the exercise price has been adjusted to $0.15 per share on September 14, 2005. The debentures were due and payable August 1, 2005. The debenture holders, however, extended the payment period to September 30, 2005. The debentures were converted into 3,703,701 shares of common stock on October 1, 2005.
 
The Company used the Black-Scholes model in calculating the fair market value of the April Warrants and allocated $148,531, $74,266 and $185,664 of the $408,461 net proceeds to the Convertible Debenture, the Bifurcated Conversion Feature of the Debenture and the April Warrants, respectively. The differences between the fair value of each of the Convertible Debenture, the Bifurcated Conversion Feature of the Debenture and the April Warrants and the respective allocated amounts are recorded as non-cash financing charges and expensed of at the date of issuance. The principal assumptions used in the computation of the April Warrants are: expected term of 10 years; a risk-free rate of return of 4.24%; dividend yield of zero percent; and a volatility of 70%.
 
The Company granted to the holders of the April Warrants certain piggy-back and demand registration rights. Pursuant to the agreements surrounding the April Private Placement, in the event that the Company determined to undertake a registration of securities, the Company would include, at the request of the holder of “Registrable Securities”, the Registrable Securities in the registration statement. If the Company did not file a registration statement by the 120th day from the closing of such financing, and the Company shall have received a written request signed by the holders holding the majority of the Registrable Securities, then the Company was obligated to file, at its expense, a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities. Once such registration statement has been filed and declared effective, the Company is obligated to keep such registration statement effective until the earlier of (i) the date that all of the Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to such registration statement, (ii) all Registrable Securities have been otherwise transferred to persons who may trade such shares without restriction under the Securities Act, and the Company has delivered a new certificate or other evidence of ownership for such securities not bearing a restrictive legend, or (iii) all Registrable Securities may be sold at any time, without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any similar provision then in effect under the Securities Act. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has not received any written request signed by the holders holding the majority of the Registrable Securities.
 
34

 
Under EITF No. 00-19, the fair value of these warrants should be reported as a liability. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, because there is currently no effective registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying these warrants, these warrants are currently subject to a cashless exercise whereby the warrant holders may surrender their warrants to the company in exchange for shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock into which a warrant would be exchangeable in such a cashless exercise depends on both the exercise price of the warrants and the market price of the common stock, each at or near the time of exercise. Because both of these factors are variable, it is possible that the company could have insufficient authorized shares to satisfy a cashless exercise. In this scenario, if the company were unable to obtain shareholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares, the company could be obligated to settle such a cashless exercise with cash rather than by issuing shares of common stock. Further, EITF No. 00-19 requires that we record the potential settlement obligation at each reporting date using the current estimated fair value of the warrants, with any changes being recorded through our statement of operations. We will continue to report the potential settlement obligation as a liability until such time as the warrants are exercised or expire or we are otherwise able to modify the warrant agreement to remove the provisions which require this treatment.
 
The conversion feature of the convertible debenture issued in April did not qualify for the scope of exception from the provisions of SFAS 133 because the convertible debentures are convertible into a variable number of shares. As such, the conversion feature was bifurcated from the convertible debenture and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. Upon the conversion of the convertible debentures in October 2005, the convertible debenture was recorded in equity as additional capital.
 
35

 
On September 14, 2005, the Company closed the private placement sale to accredited investors of units consisting of shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $4.83 million (“September Private Placement”). Pursuant to the subscription agreements entered into with the investors, we issued to the investors 161 units at a price of $30,000 per unit. Each unit consisted of 200,000 shares of our common stock, priced at $0.15 per share, and warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock over a five year period at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. Pursuant to the terms of the subscription agreements, we granted the investors limited registration rights for all common shares comprising the units, including the common shares issuable on exercise of the warrants. The Company also issued to Westminster Securities Corporation, as partial compensation for their placement agent services, 7,728,000 placement agent warrants to purchase one share each of our common shares, a portion of which has been assigned by Westminster Securities Corporation to certain of its officers and employees (the warrants issued in the September Private Placement together with the placement agent warrants are hereinafter referred to as “September Warrants”).
 
The Company used the Black-Scholes model in calculating the fair market value of the September Warrants and allocated $4,140,535 of the $4,172,735 net proceeds to the September Warrants. The difference between the fair value of the September Warrants and the allocated amount is recorded as non-cash financing charges and expensed of at the date of issuance. The principal assumptions used in the computation of the September Warrants are: expected term of 5 years; a risk-free rate of return of 4.24%; dividend yield of zero percent; and a volatility of 70%.
 
The September Warrants were issued pursuant to the agreements surrounding the September Private Placement. The subscription agreement contains a liquidated damages clause which requires cash penalties equal to two percent (2.0%) of the purchase price of the registrable securities purchased from the Group and held by the investors each month (or portion thereof) if the Group’s registration statement is not filed with the SEC within thirty (30) days of the final closing, (ii) such registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC within the earlier of one hundred and twenty (120) days from the final closing or three (3) business days of clearance by the SEC to request effectiveness, (iii) such registration statement is not maintained as effective by the Group for the effectiveness period or as allowed by 5(k)(ii) below or (iii) the additional registration statement referred to in Section 5(b) is not filed within thirty (30) days or declared effective within ninety (90) days as set forth therein. As of December 31, 2005, the Group has estimated a registration right liability of $94,981.
 
36

 
Since the liquidated damages are payable in cash, under paragraphs 12-32 of EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock”, contracts that include any provision that could require net-cash settlement cannot be accounted for as equity. Accordingly, the proceeds of the private placement in September allocated for par value of the common stock and the September Warrants have been recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. Upon the effectiveness of the registration statement, the amount will be recorded as equity.

ITEM 9A(T).  CONTROLS and PROCEDURES.
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Material Weaknesses identified Prior to Fiscal 2008
 
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as this term is defined under the rules of the SEC) as of August 10, 2006. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Executive Chairman concluded that, as of August 10, 2006, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.
 
37

 
In the process of filing our registration statement, we identified certain accounting errors in our reported US GAAP annual results for fiscal 2004 and 2005 and certain quarterly results in 2005 and 2006. As a result, we have restated the amounts and disclosures in those annual financial statements.
 
The financial statements which should no longer be relied upon include:
 
 
(i)
the audited consolidated financial statements contained in our report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 (the “2004 10-KSB”), filed with the SEC on April 15, 2005, Amendment No. 1 to the 2004 10-KSB filed on July 15, 2005, and Amendment No. 2 to the 2004 10-KSB filed on January 13, 2006 ;
 
 
(ii)
the audited consolidated financial statements contained in our report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 (the “2005 10-KSB”), filed with the SEC on April 17, 2006;
 
 
(iii)
the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in our quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2005 (the “March 31, 2005 10-QSB”), filed with the SEC on May 24, 2005;
 
 
(iv)
the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in our quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2005 (the “June 30, 2005 10-QSB”), filed with the SEC on August 15, 2005;
 
 
(v)
the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in our quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2005 (the “ September 30, 2005 10-QSB”), filed with the SEC on November 15, 2005 and Amendment No. 1 to the September 30, 2005 10-QSB filed on January 13, 2006; and
 
 
(vi)
the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in our quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2006 (the “March 31, 2006 10-QSB”), filed with the SEC on May 15, 2006.
 
Gain on disposal of XY
 
As previously disclosed in our 2004 10-KSB, including amendments thereto, and comparative figures in our 2005 10-KSB, we recorded a gain on disposal of $2,029,720 in 2004 for the disposal of our 90% attributable interest in Xian Yang Bai Sheng Water Purifying Company Limited (“XY”) to True Global Limited (“TGL”), an independent party, at a consideration of $4,130,435 (RMB34.2 million). The disposal was made pursuant to a tri-party framework agreement between Evergreen Asset Group Limited (“EGAG”), TGL and Guang Dong Xin Sheng Environmental Protection Company Limited (“GDXS”) in which EGAG transferred 90% of its equity interest in XY to TGL while GDXS continued to own 10% of its equity interest in XY. The transaction was consummated on October 26, 2004 and the gain represents the difference between the disposal proceeds and our attributable share of net assets of XY at the date of disposal. In the same year, we also recognized an amount of $9,115,942 for the construction revenue of XY using the percentage-of-completion method, estimated costs and claim recognition for construction contracts. The amount accounted for 97% of our total revenue in 2004.

 
38

 
 
In the previously filed 2004 10-KSB, as amended to date, and comparative figures in our previously filed 2005 10-KSB, the accounting treatment for the construction revenue of XY does not comply with SOP 81-1 or EITF 00-21. As a result, we will file an amendment to the 2004 10-KSB and 2005 10-KSB with adjusted disclosure to record the transaction as part of the gain on the disposal of the XY subsidiary rather than as revenue from construction of wastewater treatment plant. As such our adjusted total revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 was $250,571 and the adjusted gain on disposal of interest in a subsidiary - XY was $5,220,299. Due to the same reason, account receivable from TGL amounted to $9,416,039 as of December 31, 2004 will be reclassified to prepayment, deposits and other receivables in our upcoming amendment to the 2004 10-KSB, comparative figures in this amendment to the 2005 10-KSB and comparative figures in the upcoming or recently filed amendments to the June 30, 2005 10-QSB and September 30, 2005 10-QSB.
 
Group reorganization
 
In Note 2(ii) and 2(iii) to the consolidated financial statements contained in the previously filed 2004 10-KSB and 2005 10-KSB and Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the previously filed March 31, 2005 10-QSB, June 30, 2005 10-QSB, September 30, 2005 10-QSB and March 31, 2006 10-QSB, we disclosed group reorganization transactions. Pursuant to rules promulgated by the SEC, the merger or acquisition of a private operating company into a non-operating public shell corporation with nominal net assets is considered a capital transaction, rather than a business combination. As such, no disclosures are required under FAS 141 because the transactions described were not business combinations. For accounting purposes, the transaction has been treated as a reverse acquisition and a recapitalization, and pro-forma information is not presented. Accordingly, the upcoming amendments  to the 2004 10-KSB, this amendment to the 2005 10-KSB, and the recent or upcoming amendments to the March 31, 2005 10-QSB, June 30, 2005 10-QSB, September 30, 2005 10-QSB and March 31, 2006 10-QSB will not include references to the group reorganization transactions throughout the financial statements. We will also restate the common stock immediately after the recapitalization to $100,000 in the upcoming amended March 31, 2005 10-QSB and have done so in the recent amended June 30, 2005 10-QSB.

Reclassification of April warrants
 
In our previously filed 2005 10-KSB, June 30, 2005 10-QSB and March 31, 2006 10-QSB, we recorded as equity the warrants issued as part of the units sold in our April 2005 convertible debt issuance. Under EITF No. 00-19, the fair value of these warrants should be reported as a liability. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, because there is currently no effective registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying these warrants, these warrants are currently subject to a cashless exercise whereby the warrant holders may surrender their warrants to the company in exchange for shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock into which a warrant would be exchangeable in such a cashless exercise depends on both the exercise price of the warrants and the market price of the common stock, each at or near the time of exercise. Because both of these factors are variable, it is possible that the company could have insufficient authorized shares to satisfy a cashless exercise. In this scenario, if the company were unable to obtain shareholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares, the company could be obligated to settle such a cashless exercise with cash rather than by issuing shares of common stock. Further, EITF No. 00-19 requires that we record the potential settlement obligation at each reporting date using the current estimated fair value of the warrants, with any changes being recorded through our statement of operations. We will continue to report the potential settlement obligation as a liability until such time as the warrants are exercised or expire or we are otherwise able to modify the warrant agreement to remove the provisions which require this treatment. In addition to this restatement of our 2005 10-KSB, we will restate our June 30, 2005 10-QSB and our March 31, 2006 10-QSB to reclassify the April 2005 warrants as a liability.
 
April and September 2005 Private Placements—non-cash financing charges
 
In our June 30, 2005 10-QSB, we did not record any non-cash financing charges and in our September 30, 2005 10-QSB, as amended to date, we did not properly record the non-cash financing charges. Non-cash financing charges represent the amount by which the fair value of derivative liabilities issued exceeds the amount of proceeds received, as an expense at the date of issuance of the April convertible debenture and the September private placement. We will restate our June 30, 2005 10-QSB and our September 30, 2005 10-QSB to record the non-cash financing charges, which represent the amount by which the fair value of derivative liabilities issued exceeds the amount of proceeds received, as an expense at the date of issuance of the April convertible debenture and the September private placement. As a result of the recording of non-cash financing charges, certain expenses which were previously recorded under general and administrative expenses in our September 30, 2005 10-QSB will be reclassified under non-cash financing charges.

April 2005 Private Placements—unrealized gains or losses in financial instruments
 
In our June 30, 2005 10-QSB and our September 30, 2005 10-QSB, as amended to date, we did not record properly the unrealized gains or losses in financial instruments, which represent the change in fair market value of the financial instruments at each reporting date for the April warrants and the bifurcated conversion feature for the convertible debenture. The unrealized gains or losses in financial instruments should have been reported in those filings. We will restate the June 30, 2005 10-QSB and September 30, 2005 10-QSB, as amended to date, to record the unrealized gains or losses in financial instruments which represent the change in fair market value of the financial instruments at each reporting date for the April warrants and the bifurcated conversion feature for the convertible debenture.
 
Interest in associate
 
In our June 30, 2005 10-QSB and our September 30, 2005 10-QSB, as amended to date, the comparative figures for our interest in associate as of December 31, 2004 were recorded based on an effective percentage of equity attributable to the group of 31.5% instead of a direct interest of 35%. We will restate the comparative figures for our interest in associate as of December 31, 2004 in the June 30, 2005 10-QSB and September 30, 2005 10-QSB to include our interest in associate based on a direct interest of 35%.

Prior Restatements
 
On January 13, 2006, we amended our 2004 10-KSB. Prior to the January 13, 2006 amendment, in our 2004 10-KSB we recorded our interest in associate based on an effective percentage of equity attributable to the group of 31.5% instead of a direct interest of 35%.  In the January 13, 2006 restatement of our 2004 10-KSB, we reported our interest in associate based on a direct interest of 35%. In addition, we have restated the common stock immediately after the recapitalization to $100,000.

 
41

 
 
On January 13, 2006, we amended our September 30, 2005 10-QSB. Prior to the January 13, 2006 amendment, the September 30, 2005 10-QSB classified as equity the proceeds of our April Debenture and September 2005 private placement allocated to the warrants issued in these transactions. For reasons both the April warrants and September warrants should have been classified as a liability. The restated financial statements in the January 13, 2006 amendment of the September 30, 2005 10-QSB reflect this reclassification. In addition, prior to the January 13, 2006 amendment, the September 30, 2005 10-QSB did not originally report the unrealized gains or losses in financial instruments, which represent the change in fair market value of the financial instruments at each reporting date. The unrealized gains or losses in financial instruments should have been reported in the original filing. Accordingly, the January 13, 2006 restatement of the September 30, 2006 10-QSB reported the unrealized gains or losses in financial instruments, which represent the change in fair market value of the financial instruments at each reporting date. The restatement to the unrealized gains or losses in financial instruments, however, required to be further restated (refer discussion above). In addition, we have restated the common stock immediately after the recapitalization to $100,000.
 
Steps Undertaken with respect to Material Weaknesses Prior to 2008
 
In connection with the above matters, we have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which weaknesses we have reported to our auditors. These material weaknesses comprise:
 
(a) 
insufficient knowledge and experience among our internal accounting personnel regarding the application of US GAAP and SEC requirements;
 
(b) 
insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and
 
(c) 
insufficient emphasis by management on compliance with US GAAP requirements.
 
We have communicated with our auditors,Patrizio & Zhao,LLC. and concluded that these deficiencies constituted material weaknesses, as defined by Auditing Standard No. 2, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Performed in Conjunction with an Audit of Financial Statements,” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB.
 
In order to address these material weaknesses our senior management is in the process of conducting a thorough review of our US GAAP financial reporting processes and will prepare and implement a US GAAP action plan. This plan will be designed to generally improve our US GAAP reporting processes and to strengthen our control processes and procedures in order to prevent a recurrence of the circumstances that resulted in the need to restate our quarterly financial statements. Our senior management intends to complete its review and implement a US GAAP action plan as soon as practicable. The US GAAP action plan will incorporate, among other matters, the following initiatives
 
42

 
1. 
arrange for our senior management and certain accounting and finance-related personnel to attend training sessions on US GAAP and financial reporting responsibilities and SEC disclosure requirements;
 
2. 
modify the mandate of our internal audit function to place greater emphasis on the adequacy of, and compliance with, procedures relating to internal controls over US GAAP financial reporting and engage an experience accountant familiar with USGAAP which is not affiliated with ,Patrizio & Zhao,LLC, to assist our accounting department and internal audit function in the preparation of our US GAAP consolidated financial statements;
 
3. 
recruit an accounting staff member with US GAAP expertise and who is not affiliated withPatrizio & Zhao, LLC; and
 
4. 
engage an internationally recognized accounting firm, which is not affiliated with ,Patrizio & Zhao, LLC, to provide us with technical advice on US GAAP matters and SEC disclosure requirements on an ongoing basis.

We have fully implemented items 1, 2, and 3, while item 4 remains in the planning stage.
 
Our board of directors discussed the matters disclosed in this filing with the registrant’s independent accountant. On September 25, 2006, we filed a current report on Form 8-K relating to these matters, including a response from our independent account relating to the statements contained therein.
 
Other than those disclosed above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008
 
Material Weaknesses as at 2008
 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, China Water Group’s management, with the participation of Wenge Fang, our principal executive officer, and Ding Rencai, our principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). In designing and evaluating its disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based upon that evaluation, Messrs.Fang and Rencai concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered in this report and that they provided reasonable assurance that the goals of the disclosure controls were met.

 
43

 
 
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Based on its assessment, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
 
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the fourth quarter of our year ended December 31, 2008 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
 
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION.

We do not have any information that was required to be reported on Form 8-K during the fourth quarter.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
China Water Group, Inc.

             We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Water Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. 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 audits 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 consolidated 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.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of China Water Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

On November 7, 2006, the name of the Company was changed from China Evergreen Environmental Corp. to China Water Group, Inc. (“the Company" and “CHWG”), with all the required filings submitted to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation

(i)
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of CHWG and its subsidiaries - Evergreen Asset Group Limited (“Evergreen”), Evermaster Group Limited (“Evermaster”), Everbury Holdings Limited (“Everbury”), Hai Yang City Sheng Shi Environment Protection Company Limited (“Hai Yang”), Aba Xinchen Dagu Glacier Spring Co., Limited (“Aba”), and Guangzhou Xinchen Water Company (“Xinchen”) (the “Group”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed during the years are included in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal.

(ii)
On October 15, 2004, CHWG completed a share exchange with the stockholders of Evergreen which was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on April 20, 2004 under the International Business Companies Act, British Virgin Islands (the “Exchange”). In the Exchange, CHWG acquired 300 shares representing all the issued and outstanding common stock of Evergreen from the stockholders of Evergreen (the “Shareholders”) in exchange for the issuance of 83,500,000 shares of common stock of CHWG to the Shareholders.

The Exchange has been accounted for as a recapitalization of Evergreen whereby the assets and liabilities and operations of Evergreen become the assets and liabilities and operations of CHWG with no adjustments to the historical basis of assets and liabilities of Evergreen and the operations consolidated. The 16,499,997 shares of CHWG outstanding prior to the Exchange are accounted for at the net book value at the time of the transaction, approximately $148,705. The accompanying financial statements reflect the recapitalization of the shareholder’s equity as if the transaction occurred as of the beginning of the first period presented.

(iii)
Disposal of Subsidiary – Han Dan:

On January 22, 2007, Evermaster signed a contract with Guang Dong Xin Sheng Environmental Protection Company Limited (“GDXS”) to amend the Articles of Han Dan Cheng Sheng Water Affairs Company Limited (“Han Dan”), which is jointly owned by the two signed parties, decreasing its investment in Han Dan from previous HK$ 17.86 million to HK$ 7.2 million.  As a result, the equity shares Evermaster had in Han Dan decreased from 90% to 34.32%.  Evermaster is a wholly owned subsidiary of China Water Group Inc.

Note 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting years. Although management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes are reasonable in light of known facts and circumstances, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates include the useful lives of property and equipment, revenue recognition based on percentage of completion and Black Scholes assumptions to measure the value of warrants and options. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Future estimates and assumptions will be based upon information available to us at the time of the estimate.

Note 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments and have maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and impairment loss. Maintenance, repairs and betterments, including replacement of minor items, are charged to expense; major additions to physical properties are capitalized. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:-

Office equipment
5 years
Furniture and fixtures
5 years
Tools and equipment
5 years
Motor vehicles
10 years
Waste water treatment plant

Construction in Progress

Construction in process represents the cost of construction of the waste water treatment plants under the Build-Operate-Transfer (“BOT”) agreements with the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) government. The cost includes development and construction expenditure incurred and other direct costs attributable to the development.  The construction in progress that was completed during the year was transferred to property, plant and equipment on a monthly basis, with monthly completion and inspection reports. No depreciation and amortization is provided until such time as the relevant assets are completed, ready for use and transferred to property, plant and equipment.

BOT agreements for the two waste water treatment plants in PRC include the following terms:

Subsidiaries

At December 31, 2008, waste water treatment plants of Tian Jin and Hai Yang were in use and depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over 20 years commencing on the date the waste water treatment plants were ready for use.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets on a periodic basis in order to identify business conditions, which may indicate a possible impairment. The assessment for potential impairment is based primarily on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived assets from expected future undiscounted cash flows. If the total of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the total carrying value of the assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value (computed based upon the expected future discounted cash flows) and the carrying value of the assets.

Note 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Allowance of Doubtful Accounts

The Group establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectibility of accounts receivables and other receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of the allowance; the Group considers the historical level of credit losses and applies percentages to aged receivable categories.  The Group makes judgments about the creditworthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations, and monitors current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future.  If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, a larger allowance may be required.

Bad debts are written off when identified.  The Group extends unsecured credit to customers ranging from three to six months in the normal course of business.  The Group does not accrue interest on accounts receivables.

Historically, losses from uncollectible accounts have not significantly deviated from the general allowance estimated by the management and no significant additional bad debts have been written off directly to the profit and loss.

Affiliated Company

An affiliated company is one, not being a subsidiary or a joint venture, in which the Company is in a position to exercise significant influence, including participation in financial and operating policy decisions.  Details of affiliated companies are set out in note 7 of the consolidated financial statements.

Interest on an affiliated company is accounted for by the equity method of accounting and is initially recognized at cost.

Goodwill on acquisition of an affiliated company represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired affiliated company at the date of acquisition which is included in interests in an affiliated company.  Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.  Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

The Group’s share of its affiliated company’s post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in the statement of operations, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognized in reserves.  The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment.  When the Group’s share of losses in an affiliated company equals or exceeds its interest in the affiliated company, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the affiliated company.

Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its affiliated company are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the affiliated company.  Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.  Accounting policies of an affiliated company have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Note 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of credit risk is limited to accounts receivable and is subject to the financial conditions of a major customer which is stated in note 22 of the consolidated financial statements. The Group does not require collateral or other security to support client’s receivables. The Group conducts periodic reviews of its clients’ financial condition and customer payment practices to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.

Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of all financial instruments approximate their fair value. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, related parties’ receivable, unsecured loans, accounts payable and related parties’ payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these items.  The carrying amounts of borrowings approximate their fair value based on the Group’s expected borrowing rate for debt with similar remaining maturities and comparable risk.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue using various revenue recognition policies based on the nature of the sale and the terms of the contract.

Revenues from turn-key engineering projects are recognized on the percentage of completion method for individual contracts. We follow the guidance of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts, for our accounting policy relating to the use of the percentage-of-completion method, estimated costs and claim recognition for construction contracts. Revenues are recognized in the ratio that costs incurred bear to total estimated contract costs to the extent we believe related collection is probable. The use of the percentage of completion method of revenue recognition requires estimates of percentage of project completion. Changes in job performance, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income in the period in which the revisions are determined. Provisions for any estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determinable. In instances when the work performed on fixed price agreements is of relatively short duration, we use the completed contract method of accounting whereby revenue is recognized when the work is completed. 5% to 10% of the total contract value will be treated as retention monies withheld to ensure performance of contract during the warranty period of up to 12 months as stipulated in the fixed price contracts, both long term and short term.

Revenues arising from waste water treatment are recognized based on waste water treated as recorded daily by meters read at rates, in RMB/ton, as prescribed under the BOT agreements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin, ("SAB") Topic 13 “Revenue Recognition”. We meet the following four criteria for revenue recognition outlined in SAB Topic 13:

 
1.
There is sufficient evidence to support that sales arrangements exist;
 
2.
The price to the buyer is fixed through signed contracts;
 
3.
Meter readings illustrate that delivery of treated waste water has occurred; and
 
4.
Collectibility is reasonably assured through one or more of the following: due diligence prior to contract signing; historical payment practices; or required upfront payments.

Note 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Revenues from sale of environment protection related products and bottled water and provision of technical services are recognized when goods are delivered or as services are performed. The contractual terms of the purchase agreements or consultancy agreements dictate the recognition of revenues by us. We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104. Accordingly, four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products or services delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. We defer any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that we and our customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues comprises labor and other cost of personnel directly engaged in providing the services, subcontracting and attributable overhead costs. Cost of revenues does not include any allocation of depreciation or amortization expense.

Segment Reporting

Management believes that it has only a single segment consisting of waste water treatment with related services and support. The information presented in the consolidated statement of operations reflects the revenues and costs affiliated with this segment that management uses to make operating decisions and assess performance.

Income Taxes

The Group utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Foreign Currency Translation And Transactions

The Group uses China Renminbi (“RMB”) as the functional currency, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies.  Transactions denominated in currencies other than RMB are translated into RMB at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions, quoted by the People’s Bank of China (“the PBOC”).  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies are translated into RMB at rates of exchange quoted by the PBOC prevailing at the balance sheet date.  Exchange gains or losses arising from changes in exchange rates subsequent to the transactions dates for monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies are included in the determination of net income for the respective period.

For financial reporting purposes, RMB has been translated into USD as the reporting currency.  Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at period end.  Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period.  Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income - foreign currency translation adjustments”.  Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other income/(loss).

Note 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Comprehensive Income

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. SFAS No. 130 defines comprehensive income to include all changes in equity, including adjustments to minimum pension liabilities, accumulated foreign currency translation, and unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the year by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares, composed of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, unvested restricted common stock and contingently issuable shares that are probable of being issued, are included in diluted income (loss) per share to the extent such shares are dilutive.  In accordance with SFAS 128, “Earnings Per Share”, the Company uses income (loss) from continuing operations, net of income taxes as the “control number” in determining whether common equivalent shares are dilutive or anti-dilutive in periods where discontinued operations are reported.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141 defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control, and requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the Statement. SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to 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, 2008.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest, and also requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The requirements of SFAS 160 are effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Note 7 - Goodwill

On January 23, 2008, the Group completed its acquisition of 90% equity interest in Guangzhou Xinchen Water Company Limited from Fortune Luck Global International Limited for a consideration of $13.45 million. Goodwill, which is equal to the excess of cost over the fair value of acquired assets, has been recorded in conjunction with the acquisition. Goodwill is accounted for in accordance with SFAS 142. Under SFAS 142, goodwill is not amortized and is subject to impairment test, at least annually. The test consists of two steps. First, the identification of potential impairment is performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. Second, if there is impairment identified in the first step, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with SFAS No 141, “Business Combinations”. As of December 31, 2008, the Company concluded that there were no impairments of goodwill.

The Group conducted a private placement in April 2005 (“April Private Placement”) of 20 investment units, at $25,000 per unit, for gross proceeds of $500,000. Each unit consisted of (a) a 12% convertible debenture in the original principal amount of $25,000, convertible into shares of our common stock at the rate of the lesser of (i) $0.20 per share or (ii) a 10% discount to the price per share of common stock (or conversion price per share of common stock) of the next private placement conducted by us prior to any conversion of the debenture, and (b) 125,000 detachable warrants to purchase one share each of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, expiring ten years from their date of issuance (“April Warrants”). As a result of the September 2005 private placement, pursuant to Section 5(d) of the warrant agreement, the exercise price has been adjusted to $0.15 per share on September 14, 2005. The debentures were due and payable August 1, 2005. The debenture holders, however, extended the payment period to September 30, 2005. The debentures were converted into 3,703,701 shares of common stock on October 1, 2005.

The Group used the Black-Scholes model in calculating the fair market value of the April Warrants and allocated $148,531, $74,266 and $185,664 of the $408,461 net proceeds to the Convertible Debenture, the Bifurcated Conversion Feature of the Debenture and the April Warrants, respectively. The differences between the fair value of each of the Convertible Debenture, the Bifurcated Conversion Feature of the Debenture and the April Warrants and the respective allocated amounts are recorded as non-cash financing charges and expensed at the date of issuance. The principal assumptions used in the computation of the April Warrants are: expected term of 10 years; a risk-free rate of return of 4.24%; dividend yield of zero percent; and a volatility of 70%.

Note 13 - Warrant Liability (continued)

The Group granted to the holders of the April Warrants certain piggy-back and demand registration rights. Pursuant to the agreements surrounding the April Private Placement, in the event that the Group determined to undertake a registration of securities, the Group would include, at the request of the holder of “Registrable Securities”, the Registrable Securities in the registration statement. If the Group did not file a registration statement by the 120th day from the closing of such financing, and the Group shall have received a written request signed by the holders holding the majority of the Registrable Securities, then the Group was obligated to file, at its expense, a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities. Once such registration statement has been filed and declared effective, the Group is obligated to keep such registration statement effective until the earlier of (i) the date that all of the Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to such registration statement, (ii) all Registrable Securities have been otherwise transferred to persons who may trade such shares without restriction under the Securities Act, and the Group has delivered a new certificate or other evidence of ownership for such securities not bearing a restrictive legend, or (iii) all Registrable Securities may be sold at any time, without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any similar provision then in effect under the Securities Act. As of December 31, 2008, the Group has not received any written request signed by the holders holding the majority of the Registrable Securities.

Under EITF No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock, the fair value of the April Warrants should be reported as a liability. Pursuant to the related warrant agreement, because there is currently no effective registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying these warrants, these warrants are currently subject to a cashless exercise whereby the warrant holders may surrender their warrants to the company in exchange for shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock into which a warrant would be exchangeable in such a cashless exercise depends on both the exercise price of the warrants and the market price of the common stock, each at or near the time of exercise. Because both of these factors are variable, it is possible that we could have insufficient authorized shares to satisfy a cashless exercise. In this scenario, if we were unable to obtain shareholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares, we could be obligated to settle such a cashless exercise with cash rather than by issuing shares of common stock. Further, EITF No. 00-19 requires that we record the potential settlement obligation at each reporting date using the current estimated fair value of the warrants, with any changes being recorded through our statement of operations. We will continue to report the potential settlement obligation as a liability until such time as the warrants are exercised or expire or we are otherwise able to modify the warrant agreement to remove the provisions which require this treatment.

The conversion feature of the convertible debenture issued in April did not qualify for the scope of exception from the provisions of SFAS 133 because the convertible debentures are convertible into a variable number of shares. As such, the conversion feature was bifurcated from the convertible debenture and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. Upon the conversion of the convertible debentures in October 2005, the convertible debentures were recorded in equity as additional capital.

Note 13 - Warrant Liability (continued)

On September 14, 2005, the Group closed the private placement sale to accredited investors of units consisting of shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $4.83 million (“September Private Placement”). Pursuant to the subscription agreements entered into with the investors, we issued to the investors 161 units at a price of $30,000 per unit. Each unit consisted of 200,000 shares of our common stock, priced at $0.15 per share, and warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock over a five year period at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. Pursuant to the terms of the subscription agreements, we granted the investors limited registration rights for all common shares comprising the units, including the common shares issuable on exercise of the warrants. The Group also issued to Westminster Securities Corporation, as partial compensation for their placement agent services, 7,728,000 placement agent warrants to purchase one share each of our common shares, a portion of which has been assigned by Westminster Securities Corporation to certain of its officers and employees (the warrants issued in the September Private Placement together with the placement agent warrants are hereinafter referred to as “September Warrants”).

The Group used the Black-Scholes model in calculating the fair market value of the September Warrants and allocated $4,140,535 of the $4,172,735 net proceeds to the September Warrants. The difference between the fair value of the September Warrants and the allocated amount is recorded as non-cash financing charges and expensed at the date of issuance. The principal assumptions used in the computation of the September Warrants are: expected term of 5 years; a risk-free rate of return of 4.24%; dividend yield of zero percent; and a volatility of 70%.

Under the subscription agreement for the September Private Placement, we agreed to prepare and file with the SEC (and did so file), at our own expense, a registration statement covering the registrable securities related to that placement. We agreed that in the event that the registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC within the earlier of 120 days from the final closing, we would pay to the investors in the September Private Placement liquidated damages in the amount of 2.0% of the purchase price of the registrable securities purchased from the Company and held by the investor for each month until the registration statement is declared effective. These liquidated damages began accruing on January 12, 2006.

We agreed that if we do not remit payment of these liquidated damages, we will pay the investors in the September Private Placement interest at the rate of 12% per year until the liquidated damages are paid in full. The subscription agreement provides that if a registration statement is not effective at any time after one year following the issuance date of the September Warrants, these liquidated damages obligations will stop accruing. As of September 14, 2006 the liquidated damages obligations stopped accruing. As of December 31, 2008, we have made an accrual of $1,324,735 for registration right liability.

Under paragraphs 12–32 of EITF 00-19, contracts that include any provision that could require net-cash settlements cannot be accounted for as equity. Accordingly, the proceeds of the September Private Placement allocated for par value of the common stock and the September Warrants have been recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. Upon the effectiveness of the registration statement, the amount will be recorded as equity. 

During October 2007, 295,000 April Warrants, 7,200,000 September Private Placement and 1,642,615 placement agent warrants were exercised for 3,479,752 shares of common stock in total.

Note 14 – Discontinued Operations

On December 30, 2008, the Company decided to discontinue the operations of Evergreen Assets Group Limited and put the business for sale. The Company decided to sell this division primarily because the industry of waste water treatment is facing more intense competition. The industry itself requires large investment in capital along with low rates of return over long period. The expected disposal date is January 31, 2009. Evergreen’s revenue, reported in discontinued operations, for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, was $773,258 and $1,554,624, respectively. Evergreen’s pretax income (loss) reported in discontinued operations, for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, was $531,097 and $(1,500,457), respectively.

Note 16 – Income Taxes

The Company is a Nevada corporation and conducts all of its business through its Chinese subsidiary and its affiliated Chinese operating companies. All business is conducted in PRC. As the U.S. holding company has not recorded any income for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, there was no provision or benefit for U.S. income tax purpose.

The Company’s Chinese subsidiary and affiliated operating companies based in China are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning the private-run enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at a new statutory rate of 25% and were, until January 2008, subject to tax at a statutory rate of 33% (30% state income tax plus 3% local income tax) on income reported in the statutory statements after appropriate tax adjustments.

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China approved the Corporate Income Tax Law of the PRC (the New CIT Law), which is effective from January 1, 2008. Under the new law, the corporate income tax rate applicable to all Companies, both domestic and foreign-invested companies, is 25%, replacing the previous applicable tax rate of 33%. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the income tax provision by the Company was $28,156 and $217, respectively.

Note 17 - Pension Plans

As stipulated by the PRC government regulations, the Group is required to contribute to PRC insurance companies organized by the PRC government which are responsible for the payments of pension benefits to retired staff. The monthly contribution was equal to 12% of the salaries of the existing staff.  The Group has no obligation for the payment of pension benefits beyond the annual contributions described above.

Contributions to pension plans for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $18,279 and $12,065, respectively.

Note 18 - Concentration

As of December 31, 2008, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of the company’s revenue.

Note 19 – Restatement to Reflect Correction of Accounting Errors

We elected to restate our 2008 financial statement to (1) recognize the gain on disposal of a subsidiary, Xinxingmei’s equity interest, (2) recognize additional liability relating to acquisition of a subsidiary, Xinchen’s equity interest, and (3) segregate the assets and liabilities of Evergreen because of discontinued operations.

On January 8, 2008, the Company sold 58% of the total equity interest in Xinxingmei. However, we did not recognize the gain on disposal of Xinxingmei. We have now decided to restate to reflect the change in net income. This restatement increases net income by $912,605 and EPS by $0.01. As of December 31, 2008, the subsidiary of Xinxingmei was classified under the discontinued operations of Evergreen.

On January 23, 2008, the Company acquired 90% equity interest in Xinchen. The acquisition was completed for a consideration of $13.45 million, of which $7.5 million was paid in cash, and the remaining $5.95 million will be paid in the future. We did not record the liability of $5.95 million when the cash of $7.5 million was paid. We have now decided to restate to reflect the change in assets and liabilities. This restatement increases Goodwill and Other payables for acquisition of a subsidiary by $5.95 million, respectively.

On December 30, 2008, the Company decided to discontinue operations of Evergreen Assets Group Limited and put the business for sale.
