           Notes To The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission for reporting on Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, certain principles for
complete financial statement are not applied within these statements. They have
been prepared on a consistent basis including normal recurring adjustments and
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
related notes contained in the Annual Report for the fiscal year ended April 1,
2000.

Organization, Background, Sale of Assets, and Going Concern

(1)  Description of Business, Going Concern and Management Plans and Intentions

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Aqua Clara Bottling &
     Distribution, Inc. (the "Company") include the financial statements of its
     wholly owned subsidiary, Pocotopaug Investment, Inc. Intercompany
     transactions and accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

     The Company is engaged in the production, bottling, selling and
     distribution of non-sparkling purified drinking water products in
     containers ranging from .5 to 1.5 liters in size. During the year ended
     April 3, 1999, the Company began producing oxygenated water. It is the
     Company's intent to find a market niche in oxygen-enriched water.

     The Company continues to experience net losses and a working capital
     deficit. These factors, combined with the fact that the Company has not
     generated positive cash flows from operations, raise substantial doubt
     about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management
     intends to fund its operations through the offering of additional shares of
     common stock for sale, refinancing its existing debt and obtaining a line
     of credit. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating
     to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or amounts and
     classifications of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the
     Company cannot continue in existence.

     During the period ended July 1, 2000, the Company raised $55,000 through a
     private offering of its common stock. During the period ended September 30,
     2000, the Company raised an additional $125,000 as part of the same
     offering. The proceeds from the offering are being used to fund operations.

                                             ==========

     Operating Leases

     At April 1, 2000, the Company rented vehicles and equipment under operating
     leases.  The following is a schedule by year of future minimum rental
     payments required under operating leases that have an initial or remaining
     non-cancellable lease term in excess of one year as of April 1, 2000.

               2001                                    $ 4,998
               2002                                        400
                                                       -------
                                                       $ 5,398

No provision for income taxes is recorded due to the amount of tax losses
incurred since inception.  The Company had unused net operating loss
carryforwards to carry forward against future years' taxable income of
approximately $4,600,000, which will begin to expire in years after 2011.
Temporary differences giving rise to the deferred tax assets consist primarily
of the deferral and amortization of start-up costs for tax reporting purposes.
Management has established a valuation allowance equal to the amount of the
deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the Company's realization of this
benefit.

(7)  Commitments and Contingencies

     A former officer of the Company filed suit against the Company for
     approximately $80,000 of accrued wages and loans that took the form of a
     mortgage on the property.  This claim also seeks 1,350,000 shares of the
     Company's common stock.  The Company has accrued $80,000, relating to the
     accrued wages and loans, in the accompanying financial statements.
     However, the Company asserts that all or a majority of the number of common
     shares due is a frivolous claim and has not included any amount related to
     these shares in the accompanying financial statements.

                                      Of
                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The gross profit for the 6 month period ended September 30, 2000 was ($434,627)
with general and administrative, and selling expenses totaling $804,929. Sales
for the period were $176,964. The period performance was significantly affected
by charges for prepaid and professional services and for previously committed
services.

The Company intends to increase spending over the next six months in
advertising, marketing and distribution, which amounts are expected to be
expended prior to the receipt of significant revenues.  There can be no
assurance as to when, if ever, the Company will realize significant operating
revenues or attain profitability.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the period ending July 1, 2000, the Company raised $55,000 through a Rule
506 Offering.  Subsequent to July 1, the Company raised an additional $125,000
via the same Offering.  The proceeds of this raise have being used to fund
continued operation of the Company.

The Company has no plans or arrangements in place with respect to additional
capital sources at this time.  The Company has no significant lines of credit
available to it at this time.  There are no assurances that additional capital
will be available to the Company when or if required.

Although the Company expects to experience losses in the 3rd quarter of fiscal
year 2001 (ended December 30, 2000), management believes that the losses will
continue to decrease and a break-even point could be reached in the near term.
Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's results of
operations.

BUSINESS AND PLAN OF OPERATION

GENERAL

Prior information pertaining to Aqua Clara Bottling & Distribution, Inc. can be
found in the Annual Report for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2000, and in the
Quarterly report for the period ended July 1, 2000.

During the year ending April 3, 1999, the Company began producing 20-oz. bottles
of oxygenated water packaged in a PET container.  The Company's oxygen enriched
water contains approximately 32 parts per million of oxygen.  Normal tap water
contains approximately 3 parts per million of dissolved oxygen.  As such, the
company's oxygen enriched bottled water contains approximately 800% more oxygen.

During the year ended April 1, 2000, the Company expanded its product line to
include 1 Liter and 1.5 Liter packages, and introduced a six-pack to the market.

                             Changes In Securities

Regulation D, Rule 506 Offering

During the period ended July 1, 2000, the Company issued 532,173 shares of
common stock in exchange for $55,000 as part of a Limited Offering exempt from
registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D.  During the period ended September
30, 2000, the Company issued an additional 1,209,485 common shares in exchange
for an additional $125,000 as part of the same offering.

Preferred stock

The Company's Board of Directors has authority, without action by the
shareholders, to issue all or any portion of the authorized but unissued
preferred stock in one or more series and to determine the voting rights,
preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, and other rights
of such series.  The Company considers it desirable to have preferred stock
available to provide increased flexibility in structuring possible future
acquisitions and financing and in meeting corporate needs which may arise.  If
opportunities arise that would make desirable the issuance of preferred stock
through either public offering or private placements, the provisions for
preferred stock in the Company's Articles of Incorporation would avoid the
possible delay and expense of a shareholder's meeting, except as may be required
by law or regulatory authorities.  Issuance of the preferred stock could result,
however, in a series of securities outstanding that will have certain
preferences with respect to dividends and liquidation over the Common Stock
which would result in dilution of the income per share and net book value of the
Common Stock.  Issuance of additional Common Stock pursuant to any conversion
right, which may be attached to the terms of any series of preferred stock, may
also result in dilution of the net income per share and the net book value of
the Common Stock.  The specific terms of any series of preferred stock will
depend primarily on market conditions, terms of a proposed acquisition or
financing, and other factors existing at the time of issuance.  Therefore, it is
not possible at this time to determine in what respect a particular series of
preferred stock will be superior to the Company's Common Stock or any other
series of preferred stock, which the Company may issue.  The Board of Directors
may issue additional preferred tock in future financing, but has no current
plans to do so at this time.

The issuance of Preferred Stock could have the effect of making it more
difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of the outstanding voting
stock of the Company.
