PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
a. Business Development
Icy Splash Food & Beverage, Inc. is a New York Corporation which was
incorporated on June 17, 1996 (hereinafter, "Icy Splash;" "the Company;" "we;"
"us;" and "our;" will each refer to Icy Splash Food & Beverage, Inc.). We were
authorized to issue an aggregate of 200 shares of no par common stock.
As of May 6, 1998, we were authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common
stock with a par value of $0.001 per share and 1,000,000 shares of preferred
stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. As of October 1, 1999, 6,600,000
shares of our authorized shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.
To our knowledge we have not been subject to bankruptcy, receivership or
any similar proceedings.
Icy Splash maintains an office at 9-15 166th Street, Suite 5-B, Whitestone,
New York 11357.
b. Business of the Issuer
In 1997, the United States soft drink industry reported annual sales of
approximately $55 billion. Soft drinks are carbonated beverages, excluding clear
carbonated beverages and natural sodas, which belong to a category called "New
Age" or "Alternative Beverages." Alternative Beverage sales were approximately
$13 billion in 1997. This category of alternative beverages include still
waters, teas, juices, juice drinks, sparkling waters and natural sodas. Icy
Splash is a producer and distributor of Icy Splash soft drinks, an innovative
and refreshing line of carbonated beverages. We market and distribute two lines
of soft drinks: (1) Icy Splash Clear, a naturally fruit-flavored, clear,
carbonated soda; and (2) Icy Splash - Second Generation, a colored,
fruit-flavored and cola, carbonated soda. The product line is offered to
supermarket chains, grocery stores and convenience stores primarily in the New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut area.
Production and distribution of our products is entirely outsourced.
Independent contractors produce components for production to exact
specifications and ship them to an
5
<PAGE>
independent co-packer bottling facility. The components include prelabeled
bottles, caps, flavors and preprinted boxes. The product is directly shipped
from the bottling plant in trailer loads to distributors and chain stores. The
direct delivery system has allowed us to eliminate our warehouse facility, which
we maintained until June 1997. This has greatly reduced overhead expenses and
has improved our bottom line.
Acquisition of Distributors: As part of our business operations, we expect
to explore the prospect of acquiring full-service distributors and marketers of
our products and other beverage products. Through direct ownership of
distribution facilities, we believe that it may lower distribution costs and
increase distribution volume of Icy Splash products. Also, the distribution of
large name brand beverages would give management greater negotiating power to
command shelf space for Icy Splash products in more competitive markets. To
date, we have not entered into any agreements or letters of intent to purchase
such entities.
In our registration statement on Form 10-SB filed May 21, 1999, we stated
our intention to enter into strategic alliances with other full-service
distributors and that we are currently developing a strategic alliance with NY
Soft Drink Distributors ("NYSD"), a full-service distributor of Icy Splash
products and other beverage products. We further stated that the Company views
NYSD as an acquisition candidate. After reviewing our relationship with NYSD,
management has concluded that we unintentionally misconstrued our relationship
with NYSD as a strategic alliance. Because NYSD is a key distributor of Icy
Splash products, the Aslans have personally provided loans and managerial
assistance to NYSD. This financing allowed NYSD to purchase larger quantities of
products from manufacturers at more advantageous prices. The Aslans also
provided organizational consulting which NYSD lacked. Such financing and
consultation provided by the Aslans allowed the Company to successfully launch
Icy Splash - Second Generation while allowing management of the Company to study
marketing, product promotion and distribution techniques and methods. However,
the Company does not gain any special long-term financial, operational or
marketing advantages through this relationship and does not sell Icy Splash
products to NYSD on terms more favorable than with other distributors. Neither
the Aslans nor their affiliates own equity in NYSD or have entered into binding
contractual agreements with NYSD. Furthermore, although management believes that
NYSD is a growing enterprise and will continue to be a key distributor of its
products, NYSD is not currently an acquisition candidate because it does not
meet the Company's criteria for acquisition as far as profitability and due to
management's decision to allocate excess capital when, if ever, it becomes
available to efforts to increase the business of the Company internally.
However, this does not preclude NYSD from being an acquisition candidate in the
future. Accordingly, information relating to the strategic alliance and plans to
acquire NYSD presented in our previous filing on Form 10-SB and the amendment
thereto is no longer applicable and should not be relied upon.
As a result of our arm's length distribution arrangement with NYSD, a
significant portion of our sales during the six month period ended June 30, 1999
were to NYSD. During this period, the Company's total sales were $315,014, of
which $198,320 of product was sold to NYSD. Such sales to NYSD can be attributed
to the launch of our latest product line Icy Splash - Second Generation. If
sales to NYSD were removed, our gross profit would decrease from $105,777 to
approximately $54,800. However, if the Aslans had not been focusing their
managerial and organizational resources and assistance to NYSD and the new
product line, management estimates that sales and gross profit for the six month
period ended June 30, 1999 would have equaled or exceeded gross sales for the
respective period in 1998. Additionally, management believes that the loss of
NYSD as a distributor would not have a material adverse effect on our sales and
operations.
The Product and Marketing: The Company's flagship product, Icy Splash
Clear, comes in four flavors: Blackberry; Wild Cherry; Lime Kiwi; and Raspberry
& Boysenberry. Icy Splash products are produced using all natural flavors. The
drink is most appealing to young adults, sport fans and health conscious
individuals. We believe that customers from these market segments are generally
well informed and health conscious, and prefer an all-natural flavored drink
with no artificial colors or additives.
We initially created Icy Splash - Clear in order to focus on the clear
Carbonated
6
<PAGE>
beverage industry rather than competing with the larger beverage corporations
who offer a more extensive line of soft drinks. Also, we have marketed Icy
Splash as a leader of "new age" and water beverages in order to distance
ourselves from the more competitive leading soda brand names. Icy Splash - Clear
is strategically placed with bottled water and other alternative beverages on
supermarket shelves to identify with the fast-growing alternative beverage
market segment. The Company packages and distributes Icy Splash - Clear in
24-packs of plastic 20 oz. bottles, although customers of retailers can purchase
one bottle at a time.
The primary targets for Icy Splash - Clear are the major supermarket chain
stores in the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut area. In order to sell Icy
Splash - Clear in supermarkets and grocery stores, we must spend money to obtain
shelf space for our product. In other words, the Company must pay retailers to
have the clear products placed on their shelves to be sold for a set amount of
time. This arrangement is standard in "new age" and water beverage retailing. In
addition to shelf space, the retailer will also promote Icy Splash - Clear by
publishing and distributing coupons and placing promotional displays on its
shelves.
Icy Splash - Second Generation is a new line of soft drinks which was
launched in December of 1998. It comes in 14 flavors including Natural Lemon
Tea; Blue Raspberry; Orange; Pineapple; Fruit Punch; Root Beer; Black Cherry;
Lemon Lime; Grape; Kola Champagne; Strawberry; Peach; Ginger Ale; and Cola.
Although there are a few cola flavors, most of the line is fruit flavored and
will capitalize on the growth trend for non-cola beverages. This new line of
product has been developed with the same care, quality, and attention to the
desires of consumers as the clear product.
Unlike the clear product, Icy Splash - Second Generation has been developed
for the "Up and Down the Street" market, consisting of neighborhood grocery
stores and small grocery chains in the New York City boroughs. This market
requires a different type of distributor, with only local distributors
functioning effectively in this marketplace. The sales persons typically deal
with the store owners on a weekly basis. Icy Splash - Second Generation is
packaged and distributed in 24-packs of plastic 24 oz. bottles. Most flavors are
also sold in plastic 2 and 3 liter bottles. Again, customers of retailers can
purchase one bottle at a time.
Rather than spending money to obtain shelf space, as required in "new age"
and water retailing to supermarkets and food chains, distributors of Icy Splash
- - Second Generation sell the product to store owners at prices and terms usually
agreed upon on a weekly basis. Furthermore, our distributors promote the product
through product give-away and significant retail price discounting.
Distribution: The primary distributors of our products are I Epstein,
Hadden House and NYSD. The product line is distributed primarily to supermarket
chains, and, to a lesser
7
<PAGE>
extent, to grocery stores and convenience stores in the New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut area. We currently sell to the following supermarket chain stores:
Waldbaums NY; Key Food NY; Food Town NJ; King Kullen NJ; Edwards NJ; Shop Rite
NJ; C-Town NY; Bravo NY; Associated NY; A&P NY/NJ; Acme NJ; and Drug Fair Cost
Cutters NJ. Our products are also being sold in D'agostino and Gristedes
supermarkets in Manhattan. Some of the aforementioned retailers only carry our
products in the summer months. While Icy Splash enjoys a long term relationship
with I Epstein, Hadden House and NYSD, the loss of these companies as
distributors could have an adverse effect upon our business.
Status of Publicly Announced New Products or Services: To date, we have not
yet begun to sell previously announced new products or services. We had
announced that we will obtain new food and beverage products through development
and acquisition of intellectual property rights, exclusive distribution rights
for domestic and foreign products and distributorships owning rights to viable
products. Although these plans have not yet been fully developed, management
anticipates that future products will be introduced to the public in the near
future, although there can be no assurance.
Competition: The beverage industry is highly competitive. Our products are
sold in competition with all liquid refreshments. The soft drink business is
highly competitive and there can be no assurance that we will be able to compete
successfully. Many of our competitors have far greater financial, operational
and marketing resources than the Company. Furthermore, the soft drink industry
is characterized by rapid changes, including changes in consumer tastes and
preferences, which may result in product obsolescence or short product life
cycles. As a result, competitors may be developing products of which we are
unaware which may be similar or superior to our products. Accordingly, there is
no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully or that our
competitors or future competitors will not develop products that render our
products less marketable.
Competitors in the soft drink industry include bottlers and distributors of
nationally advertised and marketed products as well as chain store and private
label soft drinks. The principal method of competition include brand
recognition, price and price promotion, retail space management, service to the
retail trade, new product introductions, packaging changes, distribution methods
and advertising.
Icy Splash - Clear is primarily competing in the clear carbonated beverage
industry. Our direct competitors are large corporations such as Mystic, Canada
Dry, Adirondack and Crystal Bay. We believe that our flexibility and innovation
in developing and implementing new methods of marketing and distributing our
product will permit us to compete effectively against these competitors.
Icy Splash - Second Generation is primarily competing against bottlers and
distributors of nationally advertised and marketed products, such as Top Pop,
City Club and Stars and Stripes products, as well as chain store and private
label soft drinks. Because of
8
<PAGE>
greater financial resources, as well greater experience in the soft drink
business, these companies have greater brand recognition of their products.
Management believes that the Company's unique capability to offer products
that are fresh, nutritious, economical and aesthetically appealing to the
consumer will make Icy Splash a viable competitor in the soft drink industry.
Our products will be differentiated from those of our competitors on the basis
of taste, appearance and quality at competitive price points.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Suppliers and Dependence on
Major Customers: We will specialize in production and distribution of soft
drinks. Therefore, the Company will be dependent upon a ready supply of raw
materials including, but not limited to, water, concentrates, syrups, carbon
dioxide, plastic bottles, closures and other packaging materials. The prices for
these materials are determined by the market, and may change at any time.
Furthermore, we are not engaged in any purchasing agreements with our suppliers
which provide for mechanisms alleviating price fluctuations of raw materials.
Therefore, increases in prices for any of these raw materials could have a
material adverse impact on our financial position. While management believes
that there are numerous alternative suppliers for the raw materials, the loss of
a supplier could disrupt the Company's operations. While we believe that
alternatives to these suppliers and manufacturers are readily available, the
time to effect a change could adversely impact our business in the short term
should a change become necessary.
To date, we believe that our business is not dependent on any major
customer.
Patents and Trademarks: The Company's registered trademark is "Icy
Splash(R)". We intend to apply for numerous United States and International
patents, trademarks and copyrights in connection with certain of our products.
Although intellectual property may derive the Company some value, at the present
time, we believe that other factors, such as product innovations, are of more
significance in the Company's particular industry. We attempt to avoid
infringing patents of others by monitoring on a regular basis patents issued
with respect to food processing equipment.
All trademarks or service marks appearing in this Form 10-SB that do not
relate to our products are the property of their respective holders.
Governmental Approval and Effect of Governmental Regulation: The
production, distribution and sale of our products are subject to the Federal
Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act and various
federal and state statutes regulating the production, sale, safety, advertising,
labeling and ingredients of such products. Compliance with all such regulations
may be time-consuming and expensive. To the best of management's knowledge, the
Company complies with necessary state and federal laws necessary to operate a
beverage production and distribution company in the
9
<PAGE>
state of New York.
We cannot predict the impact of possible changes that may be required in
response to future legislation, rules or inquiries made from time to time by
governmental agencies. Food and Drug Administration regulations may, in certain
circumstances, affect the ability of the Company, as well as others in the
industry, to develop and market new products. However, we do not presently
believe that existing applicable legislative and administrative rules and
regulations will have a significant impact on operations.
Employees: Because all production, distribution and marketing of our
products are outsourced to independent contractors, the Company has not hired
any full or part-time employees.
Amount Spent on Research and Development: To date, we have not made any
expenditures for research and development of our products.
Cost and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws: We believe that our
current environmental compliance programs adequately address federal, state and
local environmental laws and that we are in compliance with such laws. In all of
our markets, we offer our bottled products in returnable containers in
compliance with applicable recycling laws. Also, in compliance with applicable
recycling laws, we employ the services of various recycling companies to recycle
our used bottles. The cost to the Company of these recycling services were
$2,187.81 in 1997, $3,145.59 in 1998 and $732.61 for the first three months
ended March 31, 1999. Compliance with, or any violation of, current and future
laws or regulations could require material expenditures by us or otherwise have
a material adverse effect on our business.
c. Reports to Security Holders
Prior to filing this Form 10-SB, we have not been required to deliver
annual reports. However, once we become a reporting company, we shall deliver
annual reports to securities holders as required by the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), as amended. Also, we shall deliver annual reports
to securities holders as required by the rules or regulations of any exchange
upon which our shares may be traded. If we are not required to deliver annual
reports, it is not likely that we will go to the expense of producing and
delivering such reports. If we are required to deliver annual reports, such
reports will contain audited financial statements as required.
Prior to the filing of this Form 10-SB, we have not filed reports with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Once we become a
reporting company, management anticipates that Forms 3, 4, 5, 10-K-SB, 10-Q-SB,
8-K and Schedules 13D along with appropriate proxy materials will have to be
filed as they come due. If we issue additional shares, then we may file
additional registration statements for those shares.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
a. Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the information in this Form 10-SB may constitute forward-looking
statements which are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Such statements
can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may,"
"will," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "continue," "plan," or other similar
words. These statements discuss future expectations, contain projections of
results of operations or of financial conditions or state other forward-looking
information. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by
the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including but not
limited to: competitive factors and pricing pressures; relationships with its
manufacturers and distributors; legal and regulatory requirements; general
economic conditions; and other risk factors which may be described in our future
filings with the Commission. We do not promise to update forward-looking
information to reflect actual results or changes in assumptions or other factors
that could affect those statements. In addition, when considering such
forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the factors described in
other cautionary statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-SB. Such
statements describe circumstances which could cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
This Form 10-SB may also include statistical data regarding the beverage
and soft drink industries. This data may have been obtained from industry
publications and reports which we believe to be reliable sources. We have not
independently verified such data nor sought the consent of any organizations to
refer to their reports herein.
b. Results of Operations
Six Months ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998:
Net sales for the Company increased 73.2%, from $181,896 to $315,014, in
the six months ended June 30, 1999 versus the six months ended June 30, 1998.
The increase reflects the introduction of the new line of products, Icy Splash
Second Generation, at the end of December 1998. While the Company's original
product, Icy Splash - Clear, accounted for all beverage sales in the first two
quarters of 1998, it accounted for 34% for the same period in 1999.
11
<PAGE>
The gross profit margin decreased to 33.6% for the six months ended June
30, 1999 from 41.7% for the same period in 1998. The decrease in profit margin
was caused by the introduction of the lower profit margin line of products, Icy
Splash - Second Generation, into the sales mix.
Selling expenses were $35,459 for the first six months in 1999, compared
with $27,512 for the same period in 1998, 11.3% and 15.1% of sales,
respectively. The increase in the dollar volume of selling expenses in 1999 is
due to the increase in sales volume, while the decrease as a percentage of sales
is due to the lower selling costs associated with the new product line. During
the first six months of 1999, $14,667 of promotion expenses (sales discounts and
giveaways) were expended to promote sales of the Icy Splash - Second Generation
product line, compared with none in 1998. During the first six months of 1998
there were advertising expenditures of $19,002 for advertising media, including
video, compared to $178 in 1999.
For the first six months of 1999, general and administrative expenses were
$28,521 in 1999, compared with $25,850 for the same period in 1998, 9.1% and
14.2% of sales, respectively. While the decrease of general and administrative
expenses as a percent of sales demonstrates that growth of sales has been
accomplished without a corresponding growth of overhead expenses, there has been
a significant increase in insurance, due to more comprehensive insurance
coverage in 1999. Bad debt expense of $8,445 was incurred in the first six
months of 1999 versus $10,070 in the same period in 1998, 2.7% and 5.5.% of
sales, respectively. The Company anticipates continuing lower bad debt expense
as a percent of sales for 1999 due to the quality of its current distributors
(customers). Other expenses with significant differences are temporary, timing
differences.
Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $41,797,
an increase of $19,396 over the six months ended June 30, 1998, with an
operating margin of 13.3% for 1999 and 12.3% for 1998, reflecting an increase in
sales volume, an increase in operating costs and lower gross profit margin for
Icy Splash - Second Generation.
Interest expense increased from $19 to $3,250, in the six months ended June
30, 1999 versus the comparable period in 1998. There was an outstanding $65,000
note payable during 1999 and no note in 1998.
Years Ended December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997:
Icy Splash's net sales for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 were
$320,802 and $224,490 respectively, an increase of 43%. Management believes that
this increase resulted from increased market penetration of the Icy Splash brand
in the Northeastern United States through existing distributors and new
distributors. Through our relationship with NYSD, I Epstein and Hadden House
distributors, we have had success in reaching new and more lucrative markets,
including large supermarkets and grocery stores. In addition, we believe that
our intense promotion, including payment of $22,504 for advertising in 1998, an
increase of over 350% from the previous year, resulted in an increase in sales.
12
<PAGE>
The gross profit in the year ended December 31, 1998 increased to $134,180
from $60,880 the previous year. This represents an increase from 27.1% of sales
in 1997 to 41.8% in 1998. The large increase is attributed predominantly to the
introduction of a new co-packer and increased purchasing power from buying
larger quantities of raw materials.
General and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 1998
and December 31, 1997 were $50,981 and $32,304 respectively. The increase was
primarily due to an increase in bad debt expenses. Bad debt expense increased
from $8,402 (3.74% of sales) in 1997 to $16,570 (5.17% of sales) in 1998. Bad
debt expense is a mathematical estimate (or allowance) based on an analysis of
total amounts due and total days outstanding, as well as specific accounts which
may not be collectible. The 1998 estimate reflects only a $10,070 expense for
accounts receivable and a $6,500 expense for a note receivable from a
distributor (customer) dated August 15, 1998, relating to sales in December of
1997. The Company no longer grants credit to that distributor. A $10,070 bad
debt expense for accounts receivable only for 1998 is 3.14% of sales, indicating
a decreasing trend in bad debts. The major components of general and
administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 1998 were bad debt
expenses of $16,570, automotive expenses of $9,748, telephone expenses of $7,163
and professional fees of $6,600. The major components of the expenses for the
year ended December 31, 1997 were bad debt expenses of $8,402 and administrative
expenses of $5,662.
Selling expenses for the years ended December 31, 1998 and December 31,
1997 were $55,319 and $52,860 respectively. Although selling expenses remained
constant in these periods, freight and delivery expenses declined sharply from
$24,370 in the year ended December 31, 1997 to $11,657 in the year ended
December 31, 1998. This decline was attributable to changing co-packers. The new
co-packer provided plastic bottles, which had previously been purchased from
another vendor and shipped to the co-packer.
Net income for the year ended December 31, 1998 amounted to $24,665 after
the Company incurred a net loss of $24,964 for the year ended December 31, 1997.
The increase in net income was due to management increasing sales by 43% and
gross profit by 120%, while increasing sales and general and administrative
expenses by only 24.8%, from $85,164 in 1997 to $106,300 in 1998. Increases in
sales were due to engaging new and additional distributors in late 1997 and
improved gross profit was achieved by hiring a more efficient co-packer in 1998.
c. Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998:
Working capital increased $33,351 from December 31, 1998 to June 30, 1999
because proceeds of profitable operations were used to fund inventory and
receivables.
Net cash flow used by operating activities was $34,085 and $32,298 for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Cash was predominately
used to fund increases in accounts receivable and inventory in order to
facilitate increases in sales volume.
13
<PAGE>
During the second quarter of 1999, $20,781 was collected against notes
receivable from vendors, while during the second quarter of 1998 $30,860 was
loaned to a vendor. There was negligible activity for the first quarter of both
years. The Company made a loan to a vendor to help fund capital improvements.
Repayment was recorded as the vendor performed services for the Company.
During the six months ended June 30, 1999 a $65,000 note payable was
refinanced. During the six months ended June 30, 1998 $87,402 of shareholder
loans and $13,700 of private placement equity were received. Shareholder loans
and private placement equity were used to fund increased sales volume and costs
for a planned private offering under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act") of $16,131 and $32,703 for 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
Years Ended December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997:
Cash flow generated by operations were $9,698 for the year ended December
31, 1998 and $3,986 for the year ended December 31, 1997. Positive cash flow
from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 1997 was achieved,
despite a net loss of $24,964, primarily due to an decrease in inventories and
an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. With net income
for the year ended December 31, 1998 of $24,665, cash flow from operating
activities increased to $9,698 despite significant increases of $45,822 in
accounts receivable and $25,565 in inventories. This was primarily due to an
increase in accounts payable of $47,557.
Cash flow from investing activities were negative for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997. Net cash used in investing activities for the years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 were $19,015 and $8,295 respectively. The
significant increase in net cash used in investing activities in 1998 was
primarily due to a sharp increase of $53,620 in notes receivable in 1998 owed by
a co-packer of the Company's products and by a distributor of the Company's
products. Both have agreed with the Company to make their notes current through
alternative payment plans.
Financing cash flows were provided by loans and issuance of stock for the
year ended December 31, 1998. The Company had a negative cash flow from
financing activities of $3,816 for the year ended December 1, 1997 due to
deferred offering costs which exceeded proceeds from shareholder loans. Positive
cash flow from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 1998 was
attributable to proceeds from short-term debt on an unsecured loan aggregating
$100,000 with an annual interest rate of 10%, payable on May 31, 1999. At
December 31, 1998 the loan balance was $65,000. In addition, positive financing
cash flow was attributable to deferred offering costs of $27,886 in connection
with a private
14
<PAGE>
placement offering under Rule 504 of the Securities Act. In this offering,
10,000 private placement units were sold, with each unit consisting of 50 shares
of common stock at $5.00 per unit, and 95 redeemable stock purchase warrants
("1998 Private Placement"). Each redeemable stock purchase warrant entitles the
registered holder to purchase one share of the Company's common stock for $1.00.
We anticipate that a market for trading our securities will be established
on the system of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. known as
the OTC - Bulletin Board (the "Bulletin Board") for the 500,000 shares of common
stock sold in the 1998 Private Placement, although we cannot be certain of this.
If such a market is established, and the market price for our common stock
exceeds the exercise price of our warrants, it may result in the exercise of
950,000 warrants sold in the 1998 Private Placement. There are no assurances
that we will become eligible to be quoted on the Bulletin Board or that a
trading market will be accomplished. The creation of a trading market in our
common stock and warrants may provide us with a basis upon which we can procure
additional capital through an exercise of the warrants or a sale by us of
additional common stock. A failure to create this secondary market for our
shares of common stock may require us to seek other financing. See "Recent Sales
of Unregistered Securities" and "Description of Business - Acquisitions of
Distributors and Strategic Alliances."
d. Seasonality:
The Company's sales are seasonal. The soft drink beverage industry
generally experiences its highest sales by volume during the spring and summer
months and its lowest sales by volume during the winter months. As a result, our
working capital requirements and cash flow vary substantially throughout the
year. Consumer demand for our products are affected by weather conditions. Cool,
wet spring or summer weather could result in decreased sales of our products and
could have an adverse effect on our financial position.
e. Impact of the Year 2000 on Information Systems:
The Year 2000 issue arises as the result of computer programs having been
written, and systems having been designed, using two digits rather than four to
define the applicable year ("Year 2000"). Consequently, such software has the
potential to recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculation causing
disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability
to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business
activities.
We do not expect to be affected by Year 2000 as we do not rely on
date-sensitive software or affected hardware. Our current accounting and other
systems were purchased "off-the-shelf". We intend to timely update our
accounting and other systems which are determined to be affected by Year 2000 by
purchasing Year 2000 compliant software and hardware available from retail
vendors at reasonable cost.
To date, the Company has not devised a contingency plan for a worst case
scenario resulting from Year 2000. We do not intend to create a contingency plan
at this time since Management has determined that such a contingency plan would
not be cost beneficial to the Company where it only relies on software and
systems for internal accounting purposes.
We have not yet contacted other companies on whose services we depend to
15
<PAGE>
determine whether such companies' systems are Year 2000 compliant. If the
systems of the companies or other companies on whose services we depend,
including our customers, are not Year 2000 compliant, there could be a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or result of operations.
ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Since December 1997, the Company has been conducting its business from
office space located at 9-15 166th Street, Suite 5-B, Whitestone, New York
11357. This property, aggregating approximately 2,500 square feet, is owned by
Joseph Aslan. From January 1, 1999 to July 1, 1999, we also occupied office
space leased by NYSD. We discontinued use of such office space and continued to
operate all of our business from the office space owned by Mr. Aslan. To date,
the Company has not made any lease payments for the use of office space owned by
Mr. Aslan or NYSD.
In our registration statement on Form 10-SB filed May 21, 1999, we stated
that we conducted our daily business operations from NYSD as a condition of our
strategic alliance with NYSD. However, as explained in "Description of Business
- - Business of the Issuer: Acquisition of Distributors" the relationship between
the Company and NYSD was unintentionally mischaracterized as a strategic
alliance and such information relating to the strategic alliance is no longer
accurate and should not be relied upon.
We signed an agreement to purchase a commercial property located at 494-504
Wortman Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11208. There is a commercial building
situated on the premises, aggregating approximately 25,000 square feet. Adjacent
to the building lies a parcel of land aggregating approximately 20,000 square
feet. The purchase price for the premises was $800,000. We received an
Inducement Resolution acknowledging that the New York City Industrial
Development Agency would provide certain tax benefits to us if we acquired the
property.
In early September of 1999, management recognized that the Company could
not obtain any financing to purchase the property. As a result, the Company
assigned the contract to Aslan Holdings Corp., a corporation wholly owned by
Joseph and Shlomo Aslan. It is anticipated that the Company will lease
approximately 2,000 square feet of space in the premises for $1,300 per month.

19
<PAGE>
ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
At December 31, 1997, Icy Splash was owed $13,466 by a former shareholder.
As of December 31, 1997 we deemed this receivable uncollectible and accordingly
reserved 100% as a bad debt.
On March 19, 1998, we entered into a consulting agreement with Charles
Tokarz, our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and director, for services
rendered as Chief Financial Officer. The agreement provides that beginning March
20, 1998, Mr. Tokarz would provide services to the Company including assistance
in correspondence and due diligence, liaisons with auditors, assistance in
preparation of financial projections and assumptions, review of accounting
reports and systems, analysis of acquisitions and preparation of quarterly
unaudited financial statements. In consideration for these services, Icy Splash
would provide payments of: (i) 20,000 shares of Icy Splash common stock; (ii) a
retainer of $500; and (iii) payment of $35.00 per hour for services rendered as
Chief Financial Officer.
In our registration statement on Form 10-SB filed May 21, 1999, we stated
that as a condition of a strategic alliance with NYSD, the Aslans agreed to
personally contribute organizational, financial and strategic planning
experience, as well as a complete line of soft drinks to be distributed by NYSD.
In addition, we disclosed that the Aslans agreed to provide future financing to
the distributor NYSD and, to date, have individually invested approximately
$120,000 in NYSD. In exchange, NYSD agreed to provide experience, sales
representatives, contacts and a full-service operating distribution business
including a warehouse for, but not limited to, Icy Splash products. However, as
explained in "Description of Business - Business of the Issuer: Acquisition of
Distributors" the relationship between the Company and NYSD was unintentionally
misconstrued as a strategic alliance. Although the Aslans have personally
provided managerial assistance and invested approximately $160,000 in NYSD
($40,000 more than previously estimated), the Company continues to deal at arm's
length with NYSD as a distributor of Icy Splash products and does not gain any
special long-term financial, operational or marketing advantages through this
relationship. Furthermore, the Aslans have not received any form of compensation
or other benefits in return for, or because of their loans and managerial
assistance provided to NYSD. Therefore, since the relationship between the
Company and NYSD does not, in management's opinion, constitute a strategic
alliance where NYSD would be deemed an affiliate of the Company, the financing
arrangement between the Aslans personally and NYSD does not constitute a Related
Party Transaction under Regulation S-B of the Act. Accordingly, information
relating to the strategic alliance and the Related Party Transaction between the
Aslans and NYSD previously presented is no longer applicable and should not be
relied upon.
ITEM 8. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par
value of $0.001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par
value of $0.001 per share.
a. Common Stock:
Holders of common stock do not have subscription, redemption, conversion or
preemptive rights. The shares of common stock held by shareholders are fully
paid and non-assessable. Each share of common stock is entitled to
20
<PAGE>
participate pro rata in distribution upon liquidation, subject to the rights of
holders of preferred stock, and to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote
of shareholders. The shareholders of common stock may receive cash dividends as
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor,
subject to the rights of any shareholders of preferred stock. Shareholders of
common stock are entitled to elect all directors.
b. Preferred Stock:
The Company's certificate of incorporation, as amended, authorizes the
issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of
$0.001 per share. The preferred stock shall have such voting rights,
designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other rights,
qualifications, limitations or restrictions as may be determined and set forth
in resolution or resolutions adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors
of the Company.
c. Private Placement Units:
On January 20, 1998, we issued an aggregate of 10,000 units pursuant to
Rule 504 under Regulation D of the Securities Act, as amended. Each unit
consists of 50 shares of common stock at $5.00 per unit, and 95 redeemable stock
purchase warrants. Each redeemable stock purchase warrant entitles the
registered holder to purchase one share of the Company's common stock for $1.00.
The exercise price of the warrants and the number of shares issuable upon
exercise of such warrants is subject to adjustment to protect against dilution
in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, subdivisions and
reclassification. Furthermore, the Company may redeem the warrants at a price of
$.01 per warrant by giving not less than 30 days prior written notice to the
record holders if the closing bid price of the common stock equals or exceeds
$2.50 for the 10 consecutive trading days ending on the third day prior to the
date on which the notice of redemption is given. In the event the Company
notifies record holders of its intent to redeem any warrants, the record holders
may exercise at any time prior to the close of business on the day immediately
preceeding the date fixed for redemption provided that there is a registration
statement in effect or there is an exemption from such registration. Unless
extended by the Company at its discretion, the warrants will expire on January
20, 2000. The Company reserves the right to lower the exercise price of the
warrants, which reduction may be for a limited time, not less than 60 days, or
the balance of the term of the warrants.
d. "Anti-Takeover" Provisions:
Although management is not presently aware of any takeover attempts, our
Certificate of Incorporation defers to provisions in the New York Business
Corporation Law (the "B.C.L.") which may be deemed to be "anti-takeover" in
nature in that such provisions may deter, discourage or make more difficult the
assumption of control of the Company by another entity or person.

PART II
ITEM 1. MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
a. Market Information
The common stock of Icy Splash currently is not trading on any exchange.
Management anticipates that the Company's shares will be qualified on the
Bulletin Board.
There has been no market for the Company's stock in the last two years.
Accordingly, the Company has no range of high and low bid prices for the
Company's common stock to report.
b. Holders
There were 35 holders of record of the Company's common stock as October 1,
1999.
c. Dividends
The Company has never paid cash dividends on its stock and does not intend
to do so in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain our earnings
for the operation and expansion of the business. Our continued need to retain
earnings for operations and expansion are likely to limit our ability to pay
dividends in the future.
ITEM 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On March 19,1997, we filed suit against Icy Splash, Inc., a predecessor of
the Company, and a former shareholder of Icy Splash, Inc. This case is presently
pending in the Supreme Court, Kings County. The Company secured a preliminary
injunction against the defendants enjoining them from misappropriating the
Company's intellectual property rights including the use of the trademark "Icy
Splash." The defendants initially filed a notice of appeal relating to the
injunction. However, their time to perfect the appeal has expired. The case to
convert the preliminary injunction to a permanent injunction is proceeding on
the merits. Management believes that this suit will be resolved in favor of the
Company, although there can be no assurance.
ITEM 3. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
There have been no disagreements with our independent accountants over any
item involving the Company's financial statements. Our independent accountants

ITEM 4. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
On January 20, 1998, we issued an aggregate of 10,000 private placement
units pursuant to Rule 504 under Regulation D of the Securities Act. All 10,000
units were sold to a total of thirty investors. We received $33,837, net of
commission and offering costs.
Each unit consists of 50 shares of common stock at $5.00 per unit, and 95
redeemable stock purchase warrants. Each redeemable stock purchase warrant
entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of the Company's common
stock for $1.00. See "Description of Securities - Private Placement Units."

ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Our Certificate of Incorporation contains certain provisions permitted
under the B.C.L. relating to the liability of directors. The provisions
eliminate a director's liability for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary
duty, except in certain circumstances involving wrongful acts, such as the
breach of a director's duty of loyalty or acts or omissions which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. Our Certificate of
Incorporation also contains provisions obligating the Company to indemnify its
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the B.C.L.
Such indemnification provisions are intended to increase the protection
provided to directors and, thus, increase our ability to attract and retain
qualified persons to serve as directors. Because directors liability insurance
is only available at considerable cost and with low dollar limits of coverage
and broad policy exclusions, we do not currently maintain a liability insurance
policy for the benefit of our directors, although we may attempt to
24
<PAGE>
acquire such insurance in the future. We believe that the substantial increase
in the number of lawsuits being threatened or filed against corporations and
their directors and the general unavailability of directors liability insurance
to provide protection against the increased risk of personal liability resulting
from such lawsuits have combined to result in a growing reluctance on the part
of capable persons to serve as members of boards of directors of companies,
particularly of companies which intend to become public companies. We also
believe that the increased risk of personal liability without adequate insurance
or other indemnity protection for our directors could result in overcautious and
less effective direction and management of Icy Splash. Although no directors
have resigned or have threatened to resign as a result of our failure to provide
insurance or other indemnity protection from liability, it is uncertain whether
our directors would continue to serve in such capacities if improved protection
from liability were not provided.
The provisions affecting personal liability do not abrogate a director's
fiduciary duty to Icy Splash and its shareholders, but eliminates personal
liability for monetary damages for breach of that duty. The provisions do not,
however, eliminate or limit the liability of a director for failing to act in
good faith, for engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a law,
for authorizing the illegal payment of a dividend or repurchase of stock, for
obtaining an improper personal benefit, for breaching a director's duty of
loyalty (which is generally described as the duty not to engage in any
transaction which involves a conflict between the interest of the Company and
those of the director) or for violations of the federal securities laws. The
provisions also limit or indemnify against liability resulting from grossly
negligent decisions including grossly negligent business decisions relating to
attempts to change control of the Company.
The provisions regarding indemnification provide, in essence, that we will
indemnify our directors against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of the director's
status as a director of Icy Splash, including actions brought by or on behalf of
the Company (shareholder derivative actions). The provisions do not require a
showing of good faith. Moreover, they do not provide indemnification for
liability arising out of willful misconduct, fraud, or dishonesty, for
"short-swing" profits violations under the federal securities laws, or for the
receipt of illegal remuneration. The provisions also do not provide
indemnification for any liability to the extent such liability is covered by
insurance. One purpose of the provisions is to supplement the coverage provided
by such insurance. However, as mentioned above, we do not currently provide such
insurance to our directors, and there is no guarantee that we will provide such
insurance to our directors in the near future, although we may attempt to obtain
such insurance.
These provisions diminish the potential rights of action which might
otherwise be available to shareholders by limiting the liability of officers and
directors to the maximum extent allowable under New York law and by affording
indemnification against most damages and settlement amounts paid by a director
of the Company in connection with any
25
<PAGE>
shareholder derivative action. However, the provisions do not have the effect of
limiting the right of a shareholder to enjoin a director from taking actions in
breach of his fiduciary duty, or to cause the Company to rescind actions already
taken, although as a practical matter courts may be unwilling to grant such
equitable remedies in circumstances in which such actions have already been
taken. Also, because we do not presently have directors liability insurance and
because there is no assurance that we will retain such insurance or that if such
insurance is procured it will provide coverage to the extent directors would be
indemnified under the provision, we may be forced to bear a portion or all of
the cost of the director's claims for indemnification under such provisions. If
we are forced to bear the cost for indemnification, the value of our stock may
be adversely affected.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of Icy Splash pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Icy Splash has
been advised that such indemnification, in the opinion of the SEC, is against

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS:
Icy Splash Food and Beverage, Inc. (the "Company") is the producer and
distributor of an all natural, fruit flavored, clear and colored,
carbonated, refreshing soft drink. The product line is currently
supplied in a variety of flavors to supermarkets, grocery stores and
convenience stores in the tri-state area. The Company was incorporated
in the State of New York on June 17, 1996.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The Company's accounting policies are in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Outlined below are those policies
considered particularly significant.
(a) Use of Estimates:
In preparing financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, management makes certain estimates and
assumptions, where applicable, that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
While actual results could differ from these estimates, management
does not expect such variances, if any, to have a material effect on
the financial statements.
(b) Concentration of Credit Risk/Fair Value:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash.
The Company, from time-to-time, may maintain cash balances which
exceed the federal depository insurance coverage limit. The Company
performs periodic reviews of the relative credit rating of its bank to
lower its risk.
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable
and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term
nature of these items.
(c) Fixed Assets and Depreciation:
Fixed assets are reflected at cost. Depreciation and amortization are
provided on a straight-line basis over the following useful lives:
Warehouse equipment 5 years
Office equipment 5 years
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major
renewals and betterments are capitalized.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
(d) Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (first-in
first-out method) and consist of only raw materials.
Inventory consists of the following:
June 30, June 30,
1999 1998
-------- --------
Finished product $ -- $ --
Flavoring , bottles and packaging materials 104,700 51,816
-------- --------
$104,700 $ 51,816
======== ========
(e) Deferred Offering Costs:
Deferred offering costs were incurred by the Company in conjunction
with a private placement offering (see Note 6). Although the exercise
of warrants has not been completed these costs were charged against
additional paid-in capital upon the completion of the offering.
(f) Income Taxes:
The Company utilizes Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"("SFAS 109"), which requires the use
of the asset and liability approach of providing for income taxes.
SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method
deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which
the differences are expected to reverse. Under SFAS 109, the effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company has a net operating loss carryforward as of its year end,
December 31, 1998, of approximately $100,000 which may be applied
against future taxable income, and which expires in the year 2012.
Since there is no assurance that the Company will generate future
taxable income to utilize the deferred tax asset resulting from the
net operating loss carryforward, the Company has not recognized this
asset.
(g) Statements of Cash Flows:
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.

(UNAUDITED)
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
(h) Comprehensive Income:
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income"("SFAS 130"), which
prescribes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its
components. SFAS 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. Since the Company currently does not have any items
of comprehensive income, a statement of comprehensive income is not
yet required.
(i) Advertising Costs:
Advertising costs, which are included in selling expenses, are
expensed as incurred. For six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998
advertising costs, including promotion, aggregated $14,845 and
$19,002, respectively.
(j) Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes operating revenue upon shipment of goods to
customer.
(k) Earnings Per Share
The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement
No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128"), which has changed the
method for calculating earnings per share. SFAS 128 requires the
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of
the statement of operations. Earnings per common share is computed by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding and for diluted earnings per share also common equivalent
shares outstanding.
The following average shares were used for the computation of basic
and diluted earnings per share:
Six months ended June 30, 1999 1998
--------- ---------
Basic 6,600,000 6,334,144
Diluted 7,550,000 6,779,017
(l) Stock Based Compensation
SFAS No. 123 "Accounting For Stock Based Compensation" requires the
Company to either record compensation expense or to provide additional
disclosure with respect to stock awards and stock option grants made
after December 31, 1994. The accompanying notes to financial
statements include the disclosure required by SFAS No. 123.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 3 - NOTES RECEIVABLE:
At June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company was owed $1,485 and $30,860,
respectively, from a vendor who is a co-packer of the Company's products.
The vendor had agreed to pay back the loan by providing services equal to
$1,500 a month for 12 months beginning June 1, 1998. At June 30, 1998, the
co-packer had not provided services to make payments. At June 30, 1999 the
co-packer has provided services and made payments. Management believes the
remaining balance at June 30, 1999 is fully collectible.
At June 30, 1999, the company was owed $24,844 by a customer (distributor)
for the Company's products. The customer has agreed to pay at least $1,000
a month beginning August 15, 1998, with no interest if the entire balance
is paid by June 1999 and 1.1% interest per month on the unpaid balance
thereafter. At June 30, 1999, the customer had paid approximately five of
eleven payments due. A new agreement with the customer for brokerage
services should accelerate the payments by providing services for payments.
Although Management is confident the balance due will ultimately be paid, a
collection allowance of $13,000 has been recorded against this note.
NOTE 4 - NOTE PAYABLE:
On June 30, 1999, the Company received a bank loan aggregating $65,000 with
an annual interest rate of 4.5%, payable on December 22, 1999. The bank
loan is secured by certificates of deposit belonging to two major
shareholders. Proceeds from the note were used to repay a $65,000 loan due
on May 31, 1999 and extended to June 30, 1999 by the lender at the request
of the Company.
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
(a) During December 1998, the Company initiated sales of product to a
distributor. Certain members of management have personally agreed to
provide financing and organizational support to the distributor. For
the six months ended June 30, 1999, sales were $184,077. At June 30,
1999 accounts receivable were $48,602.
(b) On March 19, 1998, the Company entered into a consulting agreement
with an individual to act as the Company's Chief Financial Officer. As
part of the consideration for these services, the Company would issue
20,000 shares of common stock , at a value of $1,600. To date, the
shares of stock have not been issued, although the accompanying
financial statements reflect an accrual for compensation expense in
1998.
NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:
Recapitalization:
On February 13, 1997 the stockholders and directors of the Company
adopted resolutions to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to
change the capitalization of the Company from 200 shares no par value
to 50,000,000 shares at $.001 par value and to restate the number of
issued and outstanding shares to 6,100,000 shares.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (Continued):
Private Placement Offering:
During 1998, the Company commenced selling common stock through a private
placement memorandum. The offering is for the sale of 10,000 units at an
offering price of $5.00 per unit, of which, each unit consists of 50 shares
of common stock and 95 redeemable common stock purchase warrants. The
common stock and warrants may be separately transferred at any time after
issuance, subject to restrictions contained in the private placement
memorandum. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the
Company's common stock for $1. The exercise price of the warrants and the
number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are also subject to
adjustment to protect against dilution. The Company may also redeem the
warrants at a price of $.01 per warrant upon the occurrence of certain
market conditions. Unless extended by the Company, the warrants will expire
on January 20, 2000. As of June 30, 1999, all 10,000 units have been sold.
Costs in excess of proceeds received aggregating $44,444 were reflected as
a reduction of shareholders' equity at June 30, 1999.
The common stock and warrants included in the unit have not been
registered, and are not required to be, under the Securities Act of 1933
("the Act"). These securities have been offered in the absence of any
registration under the Act through the Company's intended compliance with
Rule 504 under Regulation D promulgated under the Act. Pursuant to Rule
504, the shares are freely transferable subject to various state securities
laws.
NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Litigation:
The Company was a defendant in a lawsuit involving leasehold property for
which the plaintiff claims the Company is responsible. A motion to dismiss
was pending before the court. The likelihood of a favorable outcome was
anticipated by the Company's counsel, therefore no provision has been made
in the financial statements relating to this matter. As of December 31,
1998 this lawsuit was dismissed.
The Company is a plaintiff in a lawsuit with a predecessor company, "Icy
Splash, Inc.," and a former shareholder of Icy Splash, Inc. This case is
presently pending in the Supreme Court, Kings County. The Company has
secured a preliminary injunction against the defendants enjoining them from
misappropriating the Company's intellectual property rights including the
use of the trademark "Icy Splash". The defendants initially filed a notice
of appeal relating to the injunction. However, their time to perfect the
appeal has expired. The case to convert the preliminary injunction to a
permanent injunction is proceeding on the merits.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS:
Icy Splash Food and Beverage, Inc. (the "Company") is the producer and
distributor of an all natural fruit flavored, clear and colored,
carbonated, refreshing soft drinks. The product line is currently
supplied in a variety of flavors to supermarkets, grocery stores and
convenience stores in the tri-state area. The Company was incorporated
in the State of New York on June 17, 1996.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The Company's accounting policies are in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Outlined below are those policies
considered particularly significant.
(a) Use of Estimates:
In preparing financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, management makes certain estimates and
assumptions, where applicable, that effect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
While actual results could differ from these estimates, management
does not expect such variances, if any, to have a material effect on
the financial statements.
(b) Concentration of Credit Risk/Fair Value:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash.
The Company, from time-to-time, may maintain cash balances which
exceed the federal depository insurance coverage limit. The Company
performs periodic reviews of the relative credit rating of its bank to
lower its risk.
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable
and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term
nature of these items.
(c) Fixed Assets and Depreciation:
Fixed assets are reflected at cost. Depreciation and amortization
are provided on a straight-line basis over the following useful
lives:
Warehouse equipment 5 years
Office equipment 5 years
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major
renewals and betterments are capitalized.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
(d) Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (first-in
first-out method) and consist of only raw materials.
Inventory consists of the following:
December 31, December 31,
1998 1997
------------ ------------
Finished product $ -- $ --
Flavoring , bottles and packaging materials 60,881 35,316
------- -------
$60,881 $35,316
======= =======
(e) Deferred Offering Costs:
Deferred offering costs were incurred by the Company in conjunction
with a private placement offering (see Note 6). Although the exercise
of warrants has not been completed these costs were charged against
additional paid-in capital upon the completion of the offering.
(f) Income Taxes:
The Company utilizes Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"("SFAS 109"), which requires the use
of the asset and liability approach of providing for income taxes.
SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method
deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which
the differences are expected to reverse. Under SFAS 109, the effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company has a net operating loss carryforward as of its year end,
December 31, 1998, of approximately $100,000 which may be applied
against future taxable income, and which expires in the year 2012.
Since there is no assurance that the Company will generate future
taxable income to utilize the deferred tax asset resulting from the
net operating loss carryforward, the Company has not recognized this
asset.
(g) Statements of Cash Flows:
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
(h) Comprehensive Income:
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income"("SFAS 130"), which
prescribes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its
components. SFAS 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. Since the Company currently does not have any items
of comprehensive income, a statement of comprehensive income is not
yet required.
(i) Advertising Costs:
Advertising costs, which are included in selling expenses, are
expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997
advertising costs aggregated $22,504 and $4,969, respectively.
(j) Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes operating revenue upon shipment of goods to
customers.
(k) Earnings Per Share:
The company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement
No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128"), which has changed the
method for calculating earnings per share. SFAS 128 requires the
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of
the statement of operations. Earnings per common share is computed by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding and for diluted earnings per share also common equivalent
shares outstanding.
The following average shares were used for the computation of basic
and diluted earnings per share:
Years Ended Dec 31, 1998 1997
------------------------ --------- ---------
Basic 6,290,945 6,100,000
Diluted 6,653,741 6,100,000
(l) Stock-Based Compensation:
SFAS No. 123 "Accounting For Stock Based Compensation", requires the
Company to either record compensation expense or to provide additional
disclosures with respect to stock awards and stock option grants made
after December 31, 1994. The accompanying notes to financial
statements include the disclosures required by SFAS No. 123.
NOTE 3 - NOTES RECEIVABLE:
At December 31, 1998, the Company was owed $15,565 from a vendor who
is a co-packer of the Company's products. The vendor has agreed to pay
back the loan by providing services equal to $1,500 a month for 12
months beginning June 1, 1998. At December 31, 1998, the co-packer had
not provided services to make payments, but instead has paid two
$1,500 payments. Management has an agreement with the co-packer to
provide services in February and March of 1999 sufficient to bring the
note current.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
NOTE 3 - NOTES RECEIVABLE (continued):
At December 31, 1998, the Company was owed $25,544 by a customer
(distributor) for the Company's products. The customer has agreed to
pay at least $1,000 a month beginning August 15, 1998, with no
interest if the entire balance is paid by June 1999 and 1.1% interest
per month on the unpaid balance thereafter. At December 31, 1998, the
customer had paid approximately four of five payments due. A new
agreement with the customer for brokerage services should accelerate
the payments by providing services for payments. Although Management
is confident the balance due will ultimately be paid, a collection
allowance of $6,500 has been recorded against this note.
NOTE 4 - NOTE PAYABLE:
On August 31, 1998, the Company received an unsecured loan aggregating
$100,000 with an annual interest rate of 10%, payable on May 31, 1999.
At December 31, 1998 the loan balance was $65,000. There are no
penalties to prepay the loan.
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
(a) At December 31, 1997, the Company was owed $13,466 by a former
shareholder. As of December 31, 1997 management deemed this receivable
uncollectible and accordingly reserved 100% as a bad debt.
(b) The Company occupied warehouse and office space which is owned by two
of its shareholders. As of December 31, 1996 the Company discontinued
use of this warehouse. Rent expense, for this facility, for the year
ended December 31, 1997 was $3,900.
(c) During December 1998, the Company initiated sales of product to a
distributor. Certain members of management have personally agreed to
provide financing and organizational support to the distributor. For
the year ended December 31, 1998, sales and accounts receivable were
$40,630.
(d) On March 19, 1998, the Company entered into a consulting agreement
with an individual to act as the Company's Chief Financial Officer. As
part of the consideration for these services, the Company would issue
20,000 shares of common stock, at a value of $1,600. To date, the
shares of stock have not been issued, although the accompanying
financial statements reflect an accrual for compensation expense in
1998.
NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:
Recapitalization:
On February 13, 1997, the stockholders and directors of the Company
adopted resolutions to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to
change the capitalization of the Company from 200 shares no par value
to 50,000,000 shares at $.001 par value and to restate the number of
issued and outstanding shares to 6,100,000 shares.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (continued):
Private Placement Offering:
During 1998, the Company commenced selling common stock through a
private placement memorandum. The offering is for the sale of 10,000
units at an offering price of $5.00 per unit, of which, each unit
consists of 50 shares of common stock and 95 redeemable common stock
purchase warrants. The common stock and warrants may be separately
transferred at any time after issuance, subject to restrictions
contained in the private placement memorandum. Each warrant entitles
the holder to purchase one share of the Company's common stock for $1.
The exercise price of the warrants and the number of shares issuable
upon exercise of the warrants are also subject to adjustment to
protect against dilution. The Company may also redeem the warrants at
a price of $.01 per warrant upon the occurrence of certain market
conditions. Unless extended by the Company, the warrants will expire
on January 20, 2000. As of December 31, 1998, all 10,000 units have
been sold. Costs in excess of proceeds received aggregating $28,813
were reflected as a reduction of shareholders' equity at December 31,
1998.
The common stock and warrants included in the unit have not been
registered, and are not required to be, under the Securities Act of
1933 ("the Act"). These securities have been offered in the absence of
any registration under the Act through the Company's intended
compliance with Rule 504 under Regulation D promulgated under the Act.
Pursuant to Rule 504, the shares are freely transferable subject to
various state securities laws.
NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Litigation:
The Company was a defendant in a lawsuit involving leasehold property
for which the plaintiff claims the Company is responsible. A motion to
dismiss is pending before the court. The likelihood of a favorable
outcome is anticipated by the Company's counsel, therefore no
provision has been made in the financial statements relating to this
matter. As of December 31, 1998 this lawsuit was dismissed.
The Company is a plaintiff in a lawsuit with a predecessor company
"Icy Splash Inc." and a former shareholder of Icy Splash, Inc. This
case is presently pending in the Supreme Court, Kings County. The
Company has secured a preliminary injunction against the defendants
enjoining them from misappropriating the Company's intellectual
property rights including the use of the trademark "Icy Splash". The
defendants initially filed a notice of appeal relating to the
injunction. However, their time to perfect the appeal has expired. The
case to convert the preliminary injunction to a permanent injunction
is proceeding on the merits.
