(1) Includes shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, which may be offered pursuant to this registration statement, which shares are issuable upon conversion of convertible debentures and the exercise of warrants held by the selling stockholders. In addition to the shares set forth in the table, the amount to be registered includes an indeterminate number of shares issuable upon conversion of the debentures as such number may be adjusted as a result of stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions in accordance with Rule 416. The number of shares of common stock registered hereunder represents a good faith estimate by us of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures. For purposes of estimating the number of shares of common stock to be included in this registration statement, we calculated a good faith estimate of the number of shares of our common stock that we believe will be issuable upon conversion of the debentures to account for market fluctuations. Should the conversion ratio result in our having insufficient shares, we will not rely upon Rule 416, but will file a new registration statement to cover the resale of such additional shares should that become necessary. In addition, should a decrease in the exercise price as a result of an issuance or sale of shares below the then current market price, result in our having insufficient shares, we will not rely upon Rule 416, but will file a new registration statement to cover the resale of such additional shares should that become necessary. (2) Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, using the average of the high and low price as reported on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board on July 23, 2004, which was $.18 per share. (3) Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(g) under the Securities Act of 1933, using the higher of the exercise price of such warrants or the average of the high and low price as reported on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board on July 23, 2004, which was $.18 per share. iii THE REGISTRANT HEREBY AMENDS THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON SUCH DATE OR DATES AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO DELAY ITS EFFECTIVE DATE UNTIL THE REGISTRANT SHALL FILE A FURTHER AMENDMENT WHICH SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT SHALL THEREAFTER BECOME EFFECTIVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8(A) OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR UNTIL THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE ON SUCH DATE AS THE COMMISSION, ACTING PURSUANT TO SAID SECTION 8(A), MAY DETERMINE. 1 PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JULY 28, 2004 BRAVO! FOOD INTERNATIONAL CORP. 44,150,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK This prospectus relates to the resale by the selling stockholders of up to 44,150,000 shares of our common stock, including 2,150,000 shares of common stock, up to 24,250,000 shares of common stock underlying convertible debentures and up to 17,750,000 issuable upon the exercise of common stock purchase warrants. The convertible debentures issued in connection with our private placement dated November 21, 2003 are convertible into our common stock at the lower of $0.05 or 75% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the common stock on a principal market for the 30 trading days before but not including the conversion date. However, during the six months after the issuance of the convertible debenture, the conversion price shall not be less than $.03 per share unless an event of default exists. The conversion floor price of $.03 per share shall be extended indefinitely, if during the six months after the issuance of the convertible debenture (i) the closing trading price of our common stock for any consecutive 15 day trading period is $.20 or higher, (ii) the daily trading volume for each such 15 trading days is 300,000 or more shares of common stock and (iii) the registration statement registering the shares issuable under the convertible debenture is effective for each such 15 trading days, unless an event of default exists. The convertible debentures issued in connection with our private placement dated April 2, 2004 are convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of $.10 per share. The selling stockholders may sell common stock from time to time in the principal market on which the stock is traded at the prevailing market price or in negotiated transactions. The selling stockholders may be deemed underwriters of the shares of common stock, which they are offering. We will pay the expenses of registering these shares. Our common stock is registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is listed on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol "BRVO". The last reported sales price per share of our common stock as reported by the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board on July 26, 2004, was $.20. INVESTING IN THESE SECURITIES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISKS.

This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in the securities. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the "risk factors" section, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements. BRAVO! FOODS INTERNATIONAL CORP. We are involved in the development and marketing of our Slammers(R) trademarked brand, the obtaining of license rights from third party holders of intellectual property rights to other trademarked brands, logos and characters, and the granting of production and marketing rights to processor dairies to produce branded flavored milk and generating revenue through the sale of "kits" to these dairies outside of the United States and through wholesale sales within the United States. The price of the "kits" consists of an invoiced price for a fixed amount of flavor ingredients per kit used to produce the flavored milk and a fee charged to the diaries for the production, promotion and sales rights for the branded flavored milk. In the United States, we also generate revenue from the unit sales of finished branded flavored milks to retail consumer outlets. Our new product introduction and growth expansion continue to be expensive and we reported a net loss of $3,016,987 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and a net loss of $881,249 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. We have suffered operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and, at March 31, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit, a capital deficit, are delinquent on certain debts and have negative working capital. These conditions give rise to substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our principal offices are located at 11300 US Highway 1, North Palm Beach, Florida 33408, and our telephone number is (561) 625-1411. We are a Delaware corporation. The Offering Common stock offered by selling stockholders.... Up to 44,150,000 shares, which would represent 56.9% of our then current outstanding shares of common stock, including o 2,150,000 shares of common stock; o up to 24,250,000 shares of common stock underlying convertible debentures in the amount of $950,000 based on current market prices and assuming full conversion of the convertible debentures (includes a good faith estimate of the shares underlying the convertible debenture to account for market fluctuations); o up to 4,000,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock purchase warrants at an exercise price of $.05 per share, assuming full exercise of the warrants; o up to 5,000,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock purchase warrants at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, assuming full exercise of the warrants; o up to 3,000,000 issuable upon the exercise of common stock purchase warrants at an exercise price of $.15 per share, assuming full exercise of the warrants; and o up to 5,750,000 issuable upon the exercise of common stock purchase warrants at an exercise price of $.10 per share, assuming full exercise of the warrants 3 Common stock to be outstanding after the offering...........Up to 82,926,574 shares Use of proceeds...............We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock. Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board Symbol........BRVO The above information regarding common stock to be outstanding after the offering is based on 40,296,574 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 30, 2004 and assumes the subsequent conversion of our issued convertible debentures, with interest, and exercise of warrants by our selling stockholders. To obtain funding for our ongoing operations, we entered into the following two financing transactions. NOVEMBER 2003 In November 2003, we entered a Subscription Agreement with two accredited investors in for the sale of (i) $400,000 in convertible debentures, (ii) class A warrants to buy 2,000,000 shares of our common stock and (iii) class B warrants to buy 10,000,000 shares of common stock. In connection with this financing, we paid a fee , which included (i) 400,000 shares of common stock, (ii) class A warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock and (iii) 10% of the proceeds received by us in connection with the exercise of the class B warrants, which is payable in shares of common stock at the rate of one share of common stock for every ten shares of common stock actually issued upon exercise of the class B warrants. The debentures issued in connection with the November 2003 financing bear interest at 8%, mature two years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into our common stock, at the selling stockholders' option, at the lower of (i) $0.05 or (ii) 75% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the common stock on a principal market for the 30 trading days before but not including the conversion date. However, during the six months after the issuance of the convertible debenture, the conversion price shall not be less than $.03 per share unless an event of default exists. The conversion floor price of $.03 per share shall be extended indefinitely, if during the six months after the issuance of the convertible debenture (i) the closing trading price of our common stock for any consecutive 15 day trading period is $.20 or higher, (ii) the daily trading volume for each such 15 trading days is 300,000 or more shares of common stock and (iii) the registration statement registering the shares issuable under the convertible debenture is effective for each such 15 trading days, unless an event of default exists. Accordingly, if the above factors are not satisfied, there is in fact no limit on the number of shares into which the debentures may be converted. As of April 30, 2004, the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for our common stock during the preceding 30 trading days as reported on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board was $.14 and, therefore, the conversion price for the convertible debentures was $.05. Based on this conversion price, the $400,000 convertible debentures, excluding interest, were convertible into 8,000,000 shares of our common stock. The selling stockholders have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert or exercise their warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. See the "Selling Stockholders" and "Risk Factors" sections for a complete description of the convertible debentures. 4 This prospectus relates to the resale of the shares of common stock and the common stock underlying these convertible debentures and warrants. APRIL 2004 In April 2004, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with two accredited investors for the sale of (i) $500,000 in convertible debentures and (ii) warrants to buy 3,000,000 shares of our common stock. In connection with this financing, we paid a fee , which included an aggregate of convertible debentures in the amount of $50,000. The debentures issued in connection with the April 2004 financing bear interest at 10%. The principal on the notes is due in equal monthly installments commencing on November 1, 2004 until October 1, 2005. On October 1, 2005, all principal and interest shall become due. In the event that our common stock has a closing price in excess of $.20 for the five days preceding the monthly payment, then, within our discretion, the monthly payment may be deferred. The notes are convertible into our common stock at $0.10 per share. Based on this conversion price, the $550,000 convertible debentures, excluding interest, would be convertible into 5,500,000 shares of our common stock. The selling stockholders have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert or exercise their warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. See the "Selling Stockholders" and "Risk Factors" sections for a complete description of the convertible debentures. ENGAGEMENT LETTER In November 2003, we entered into an engagement letter with Knightsbridge Holdings, LLC, for which in consideration for various services, we issued Knightsbridge Holdings, LLC an aggregate of 750,000 shares of common stock of which 500,000 are being registered pursuant to this prospectus. MARVEL LICENSE On February 1, 2004, we entered into a license agreement with Marvel Enterprises, Inc. In consideration for the use of proprietary information, we issued Marvel 750,000 shares of our common stock and a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 750,000 shares of our common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $.10 per share for the first year and, upon the occurrence of certain conditions tied to the royalty performance under the license, can be extended for an additional year with an exercise price of $.14 per share. RISK FACTORS This investment has a high degree of risk. Before you invest you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this prospectus. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed and the value of our stock could go down. This means you could lose all or a part of your investment. RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS: WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES WHICH MAY CONTINUE, REQUIRING US TO SEEK ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF CAPITAL WHICH MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE, REQUIRING US TO CURTAIL OR CEASE OPERATIONS. 5 We incurred net losses of $3,016,987 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and $3,160,431 for the year ended December 31, 2002. In addition, we incurred losses for the three months ended March 31, 2004 in the amount of $881,249. We cannot assure you that we can achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. If revenues grow more slowly than we anticipate, or if operating expenses exceed our expectations or cannot be adjusted accordingly, we will continue to incur losses. We will continue to incur losses until we are able to establish significant sales. Our possible success is dependent upon the successful development and marketing of our services and products, as to which there is no assurance. Any future success that we might enjoy will depend upon many factors, including factors out of our control or which cannot be predicted at this time. These factors may include changes in or increased levels of competition, including the entry of additional competitors and increased success by existing competitors, changes in general economic conditions, increases in operating costs, including costs of supplies, personnel, marketing and promotions, reduced margins caused by competitive pressures and other factors. These conditions may have a materially adverse effect upon us or may force us to reduce or curtail operations. In addition, we will require additional funds to sustain and expand our sales and marketing activities, particularly if a well-financed competitor emerges. We anticipate that we will require up to approximately $1,500,000 to fund our continued operations for the next twelve months, depending on revenue from operations. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The inability to obtain sufficient funds from operations or external sources would require us to curtail or cease operations. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FUNDING OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS WILL BE HARMED AND IF WE DO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING OUR THEN EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS MAY SUFFER SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION. Additional capital will be required to effectively support the operations and to otherwise implement our overall business strategy. However, there can be no assurance that financing will be available when needed on terms that are acceptable to us. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing shareholders. OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS HAVE EXPRESSED SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN, WHICH MAY HINDER OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN FUTURE FINANCING. In their report dated April 2, 2004, our independent auditors stated that our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is an issue raised as a result of a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 in the amount of $3,016,987. We continue to experience net operating losses. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities, increasing sales or obtaining loans and grants from various financial institutions where possible. Our continued net operating losses increases the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful. Since we depend upon key personnel having significant business contacts in the US and internationally, the loss of one or more of our management team may have a negative effect on our business. The unexpected loss of the services of any member of the management team could have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct and grow both our US and international business. We are and will be dependent on our current management teams for the foreseeable future o to obtain needed additional financing o to develop and maintain critical business contacts for the production of our branded milk products o to develop and maintain third party licensor and brand development contacts for the formulation of new brand development and branded food products WE FACE INTENSE COMPETITION IN OUR US MARKET THAT COULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Since we are smaller than our competitors in the US market and since we have limited resources and sell our branded products at premium prices, we have had difficulty in developing and maintaining our market share in the consumer milk market. This difficulty could adversely affect our ability to achieve our business goals to develop and increase the awareness of our branded products in an effort to increase sales, while maintaining a premium price structure. 6 The ability of our competition to sell dairy and other food products at prices below prices charged by us for our products may represent an obstacle to our ability to secure a market share at revenue levels sufficient to achieve profitability. In our foreign business, we grant the rights to produce and sell branded milk products to processor dairies under production agreements. Our role in these agreements, in addition to granting the rights to produce the branded milks as part of the sale of flavor ingredient packages to dairies, is limited to marketing and promotion assistance and control over packaging and advertising design issues. Such processors dairies have significant control over sales and distribution of the branded milk products.. A reduction in sales effort or discontinuance of sales of our products by our co-producers could lead to reduced sales. RISKS RELATING TO OUR CURRENT FINANCING ARRANGEMENT: THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF SHARES UNDERLYING OUR CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND WARRANTS THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE AND THE SALE OF THESE SHARES MAY DEPRESS THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK. As of April 30, 2004, we had 40,296,574 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and convertible debentures outstanding that may be converted into an estimated 13,500,000 shares of common stock at current market prices, outstanding warrants to purchase 37,700,277 shares of common stock and options to purchase 3,571,086 shares of common stock. Furthermore, there are currently outstanding shares of Preferred Stock that are convertible into approximately 44,000,000 shares of common stock. In addition, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding convertible debentures may increase if the market price of our stock declines. All of the shares, including all of the shares issuable upon conversion of the debentures and upon exercise of our warrants, may be sold without restriction. The sale of these shares may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. THE CONTINUOUSLY ADJUSTABLE CONVERSION PRICE FEATURE OF OUR CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES ISSUED IN CONNECTION WITH OUR NOVEMBER 2003 PRIVATE PLACEMENT COULD REQUIRE US TO ISSUE A SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER NUMBER OF SHARES, WHICH WILL CAUSE DILUTION TO OUR EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS. The debentures issued in connection with the November 2003 financing and are convertible into our common stock, at the selling stockholders' option, at the lower of (i) $0.05 or (ii) 75% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the common stock on a principal market for the 30 trading days before but not including the conversion date. If our stock price were to fall below $.05, our obligation to issue shares upon conversion of our convertible debentures issued in connection with our November 2003 Private Placement is essentially limitless. The following is an example of the amount of shares of our common stock that are issuable, upon conversion of our convertible debentures (excluding accrued interest), based on market prices 25%, 50% and 75% below $.05. Number % of % Below Price Per With Discount of Shares Outstanding Market Share At 25% Issuable Stock(1) -------- ---------- ------ -------- ------- 25% $.0375 $.0281 14,222,222 22.15% 50% $.0250 $.0188 21,333,333 29.91% 75% $.0125 $.0125 42,666,667 46.04% (1) Based on 40,296,574 shares of common stock outstanding. As illustrated, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our convertible debentures will increase if the market price of our stock declines, which will cause dilution to our existing stockholders. 7 THE CONTINUOUSLY ADJUSTABLE CONVERSION PRICE FEATURE OF OUR CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES MAY ENCOURAGE INVESTORS TO MAKE SHORT SALES IN OUR COMMON STOCK, WHICH COULD HAVE A DEPRESSIVE EFFECT ON THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK. The convertible debentures issued in connection with our November 2003 private placement are convertible into shares of our common stock at a 25% discount to the trading price of the common stock prior to the conversion. The significant downward pressure on the price of the common stock as the selling stockholder converts and sells material amounts of common stock could encourage short sales by investors. This could place further downward pressure on the price of the common stock. The selling stockholder could sell common stock into the market in anticipation of covering the short sale by converting their securities, which could cause the further downward pressure on the stock price. In addition, not only the sale of shares issued upon conversion or exercise of debentures, warrants and options, but also the mere perception that these sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of the common stock. THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES UPON CONVERSION OF THE CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND EXERCISE OF OUTSTANDING WARRANTS MAY CAUSE IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION TO OUR EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS. The issuance of shares upon conversion of the convertible debentures and exercise of warrants may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders since the selling stockholders may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on conversion. Although the selling stockholders may not convert their convertible debentures and/or exercise their warrants if such conversion or exercise would cause them to own more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock, this restriction does not prevent the selling stockholders from converting and/or exercising some of their holdings, selling these shares and then converting the rest of their holdings. In this way, the selling stockholders could sell more than this limit while never holding more than this limit. There is no upper limit on the number of shares that may be issued which will have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our common stock, including investors in this offering. IN THE EVENT THAT OUR STOCK PRICE DECLINES, THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ALLOCATED FOR CONVERSION OF THE CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES ISSUED IN CONNECTION WITH OUR NOVEMBER 2003 PRIVATE PLACEMENT AND REGISTERED PURSUANT TO THIS PROSPECTUS MAY NOT BE ADEQUATE AND WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO FILE A SUBSEQUENT REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING ADDITIONAL SHARES. IF THE SHARES WE HAVE ALLOCATED AND ARE REGISTERING HEREWITH ARE NOT ADEQUATE AND WE ARE REQUIRED TO FILE AN ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION STATEMENT, WE MAY INCUR SUBSTANTIAL COSTS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. Based on our current market price and the potential decrease in our market price as a result of the issuance of shares upon conversion of the convertible debentures, we have made a good faith estimate as to the amount of shares of common stock that we are required to register and allocate for conversion of the convertible debentures. Accordingly, we have allocated and registered 24,250,000 shares to cover the conversion of the convertible debentures. In the event that our stock price decreases, the shares of common stock we have allocated for conversion of the convertible debentures and are registering hereunder may not be adequate. If the shares we have allocated to the registration statement are not adequate and we are required to file an additional registration statement, we may incur substantial costs in connection with the preparation and filing of such registration statement. IF WE ARE REQUIRED FOR ANY REASON TO REPAY OUR OUTSTANDING CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES, WE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO DEPLETE OUR WORKING CAPITAL, IF AVAILABLE, OR RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS. OUR FAILURE TO REPAY THE CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES, IF REQUIRED, COULD RESULT IN LEGAL ACTION AGAINST US, WHICH COULD REQUIRE THE SALE OF SUBSTANTIAL ASSETS. In November 2003, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement for the sale $400,000 principal amount of convertible debentures. The convertible debentures are due and payable, with 8% interest, two years from the date of issuance, unless sooner converted into shares of our common stock. In April 2004, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with two accredited investors for the sale of $500,000 in convertible debentures. The debentures issued in connection with the April 2004 financing bear interest at 10%. The principal on the notes is due in equal monthly installments commencing on November 1, 2004 until October 1, 2005. On October 1, 2005, all principal and interest shall become due. In the event that our common stock has a closing price in excess of $.20 for the five days preceding the monthly payment, then, within our discretion, the monthly payment may be deferred. and the notes are convertible into our common stock at $0.10 per share 8 Any event of default could require the early repayment of the convertible debentures, including a default interest rate if the default is not cured with the specified grace period. We anticipate that the full amount of the convertible debentures, together with accrued interest, will be converted into shares of our common stock, in accordance with the terms of the convertible debentures. If we are required to repay the convertible debentures, we would be required to use our limited working capital and raise additional funds. If we were unable to repay the debentures when required, the debenture holders could commence legal action against us to recover the amounts due. Any such action would require us to obtain additional financing or curtail or cease operations. RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK: IF WE FAIL TO REMAIN CURRENT ON OUR REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, WE COULD BE REMOVED FROM THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD WHICH WOULD LIMIT THE ABILITY OF BROKER-DEALERS TO SELL OUR SECURITIES AND THE ABILITY OF STOCKHOLDERS TO SELL THEIR SECURITIES IN THE SECONDARY MARKET. Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market. OUR COMMON STOCK IS SUBJECT TO THE "PENNY STOCK" RULES OF THE SEC AND THE TRADING MARKET IN OUR SECURITIES IS LIMITED, WHICH MAKES TRANSACTIONS IN OUR STOCK CUMBERSOME AND MAY REDUCE THE VALUE OF AN INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: o that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and o the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: o obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and o make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: o sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and o that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. 9 USE OF PROCEEDS This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in this offering. In the event that we received proceeds from the exercise of the Class A, Class B Warrants and other warrants, we will use these funds for working capital. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "BRVO".

The number of record holders was determined from the records of our transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of various security brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies. The transfer agent of our common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 59 Maiden Lane, Plaza Level, New York, NY 10038. We have not paid dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying dividends. Management intends to retain future earnings, if any, to finance working capital, to expand our operations and to pursue our acquisition strategy. 10 The holders of common stock are entitled to receive, pro rata, such dividends and other distributions as and when declared by our board of directors out of the assets and funds legally available therefor. The availability of funds is dependent upon dividends or distribution of profits from our subsidiaries and may be subject to regulatory control and approval by the appropriate government authorities on either a regional or national level in the People's Republic of China. We have accrued dividends for our convertible preferred stock for 2001 in the amount of $255,725, accrued $1,011,159 for the period ended December 31, 2002 and $902,468 for the period ended December 31, 2003.

The options have an exercise price of $0.75 and expire March 26, 2006. Directors received options for 35,000 shares for each full year of service and an additional 40,000 shares for service on a board committee. On August 14, 2001, we issued 250,000 options to the Board of Directors for services rendered as directors. Each director received options for 25,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.60. The options can be exercised for five years. On January 13, 2004, the Board of Directors adopted a plan to convert on a one for one basis the options granted to the present employees of the Company and the directors currently serving on the Board into a like number of the Company's restricted shares of common stock. The issuance of such common stock to any individual director or employee is conditioned upon the execution of the "lockup" agreement by such director or employee, pursuant to which the recipients of such common stock shall not sell, transfer, pledge or hypothecate such common stock for a six month period, commencing on the issue date of such common stock. The conversion plan adopted by the Board of Directors will result in the issuance of 5,200,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock to the Company's present directors and employees. 11 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Some of the information in this Form SB-2 contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate" and "continue," or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they: o discuss our future expectations; o contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial condition; and o state other "forward-looking" information. We believe it is important to communicate our expectations. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or over which we have no control. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors," "Business" and elsewhere in this prospectus. See "Risk Factors." OVERVIEW Our business model includes the development and marketing of our Slammers(R) trademarked brand, the obtaining of license rights from third party holders of intellectual property rights to other trademarked brands, logos and characters and the granting of production and marketing rights to processor dairies to produce branded flavored milk and generating revenue primarily through the sale of "kits" to these dairies. The price of the "kits" consists of an invoiced price for a fixed amount of flavor ingredients per kit used to produce the flavored milk and a fee charged to the diaries for the production, promotion and sales rights for the branded flavored milk. In the United States, we also generate revenue from the unit sales of finished branded flavored milks to retail consumer outlets. Our new product's introduction and growth expansion continues to be expensive, and we reported a net loss of $3,016,987 for the year ended December 31, 2003. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have suffered operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and at December 31, 2003 have an accumulated deficit, a capital deficit, are delinquent on certain debts and are negative working capital. These conditions give rise to substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As discussed herein, we plan to work toward profitability in our U.S. and international business and obtain additional financing. While there is no assurance that funding will be available or that we will be able to improve our operating results, we are continuing to seek equity and/or debt financing. No assurances can be given, however, that we will be successful in carrying out our plans. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE The Board of Directors Our board has positions for nine directors that are elected as Class A or Class B directors at alternate annual meetings of our shareholders. We presently have two mid-term vacancies on the board. Six of the seven current directors of our board are independent. Our chairman and chief executive officer are separate. The board meets regularly, at least four times a year, and all directors have access to the information necessary to enable them to discharge their duties. The board, as a whole, and the audit committee in particular, review our financial condition and performance on an estimated vs. actual basis and financial projections as a regular agenda item at scheduled periodic board meetings, based upon separate reports submitted by our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Directors are elected by our shareholders after nomination by the board or are appointed by the board when a vacancy arises prior to an election. This year we have adopted a nomination procedure based upon a rotating nomination committee made up of those members of the director Class not up for election. The board presently is examining whether this procedure, as well as the make up of the audit and compensation committees, should be the subject of an amendment to the by-laws. 12 Audit Committee Our audit committee is composed of three independent directors and functions to assist the board in overseeing our accounting and reporting practices. Our financial information is booked in house by our CFO's office, from which we prepare financial reports. These financial reports are audited or reviewed by Lazar Levine & Felix LLP, independent certified accountants and auditors. Our chief financial officer reviews the preliminary financial and non-financial information prepared in house with our securities counsel and the reports of the auditors. The committee reviews the preparation of our audited and unaudited periodic financial reporting and internal control reports prepared by our chief financial officer. The committee reviews significant changes in accounting policies and addresses issues and recommendations presented by our internal and external certified accountants as well as the our auditors. Currently, there is one vacancy on the audit committee. Compensation Committee Our compensation committee is composed of three independent directors and reviews the compensation structure and policies concerning executive compensation. The committee develops proposals and recommendations for executive compensation and presents those recommendations to the full board for consideration. The committee periodically reviews the performance of our other members of management and the recommendations of the chief executive officer with respect to the compensation of those individuals. Given the size of our company, all such employment contracts are periodically reviewed by the board. The board must approve all compensation packages that involve the issuance of our stock or stock options. Currently, there is one vacancy on the compensation committee. Nominating Committee The nominating committee was established in the second quarter 2002 and consists of those members of the director Class not up for election. The committee is charged with determining those individuals who will be presented to the shareholders for election at the next scheduled annual meeting. The full board fills any mid term vacancies by appointment. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Estimates This discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our company's estimates, including those related to reserves for bad debts and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our use of estimates, however, is quite limited as we have adequate time to process and record actual results from operations. REVENUE RECOGNITION UNITED STATES - PRODUCTION AGREEMENTS WITH JASPER PRODUCTS AND SHAMROCK FARMS Through December 31, 2003, we recognized revenue in the United States at the gross amount of our invoices for the sale of kits at the shipment of flavor ingredients to processor dairies with whom we have production contracts for extended shelf life and aseptic long life milk. This recognition is based upon our role as the principal in these transactions, our discretion in establishing kit prices (including the price of flavor ingredients and production right fees), our development and refinement of flavors and flavor modifications, our discretion in supplier selection and our credit risk to pay for ingredients if processors do not pay ingredient suppliers. The revenue generated by the production contracts under this model is allocated as follows: 90% to 95% of the revenue is for the processors' purchase of flavor ingredients; the balance of 5% to 10% represents fees charged by us to the processors for production rights. The price of production rights is formulated to cover our intellectual property licenses, which varies by licensor as a percentage of the total cost of a kit sold to the processor dairy under the production agreement. We recognized revenue on the gross amount of "kit" invoices to the dairy processors and simultaneously record as cost of goods sold the cost of flavor ingredients paid by the processor dairies to ingredients supplier. The recognition of revenue generated from the sale of production rights associated with the flavor ingredients is complete upon shipment of the ingredients to the processor, given the short utilization cycle of the ingredients shipped. 13 Jasper Products and Shamrock Farms, processor dairies for our products in 2003, charge us with the cost of producing our branded flavored milk. We are responsible for freight charges from processor dairies to retail destinations, promotion costs and product returns of product owing to defects and out of date products. In addition, we pay the fee charged by food brokers retained by us to generate sales of the branded flavored milk products to retail outlets. In return, we are entitled to keep the difference between the cost charged by processor dairies and the wholesale price determined by us and charged to retail outlets. We treat this second earning event as "unit sales revenue" when the revenue is realized or realizable and accrue any estimated expenses which are related to our revenue at the end of each reporting period. Because we benefit only from the price difference and do not own the inventory, we recognize the revenue generated through this model at net. Commencing with the first quarter 2004, we no longer use the sale of "kits" as a revenue event in the United States. Rather, we take title to our branded flavored milks when they are shipped by our third party processors and recognize as revenue the gross wholesale price charged to our wholesale customers. Our gross margin will be determined by the reported wholesale price less the cost charged by our third party processors to produce the branded milk products. The sale of "kits" will remain as the revenue model for our international business only. INTERNATIONAL SALES AND U.S. SALES TO PARMALAT In 2003, we sold "kits" to processors in Mexico, Canada, China and to Parmalat in the United States, which kits include the cost of flavor ingredients and rights to produce, market, distribute and sell our branded flavored milk to retail outlets. As a matter of convenience, processors purchase the flavor ingredients for the kits directly from a designated ingredients supplier and are invoiced by us for the full price of the "kits" with a credit for the cost of flavor ingredients purchased by the processors. We are directly responsible for the administration of this model, including the collection of kit receivables. Under this model, dairy processors are responsible for production, marketing, distribution and sales of the branded flavored milk to retail outlets. The normal production cycle for processors' utilization of purchased flavor ingredients has ranged from 6 weeks in Mexico, 4 weeks for Parmalat (U.S.) and 3 weeks for Canada. We recognize revenue at the gross amount of kit invoices after shipment of flavor ingredients based upon our company's role as the principal in these transactions, our discretion in establishing kit prices (including the price of flavor ingredients and production right fees), our development and refinement of flavors and flavor modifications, our discretion in supplier selection and our credit risk to pay for ingredients if processors do not pay ingredient suppliers. We attribute the majority of the kit price to the sale of flavor ingredients (90% to 95% in the U.S., for example) and the balance to our grant of production rights to processor dairies. In this regard, the price of production rights is formulated to cover our costs of our intellectual property licenses. Our recognition of revenue generated from the sale of production rights associated with the flavor ingredients is upon shipment of the ingredients to the processor, given the short utilization cycle of the ingredients shipped. 14 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 CONSOLIDATED REVENUE We had revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 of $438,206, with cost of sales of $330,121, resulting in a gross margin of $108,085. Of the $438,206, $411,838 was from sales in the U.S. operation and $26,368 from sales in Mexico. We did not have revenue for this period in Canada or China. Our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2004 increased by $40,776, a 10.26% increase compared to revenue of $397,430 for the same period in 2003. This increase is the result of a change in the Company's method of revenue recognition in the United States, as well as the phasing out of the Company's Looney Tunes(TM) flavored milk products and the development of four new branded product lines in the United States, which commenced during this period. CONSOLIDATED COST OF SALES We incurred cost of goods sold of $330,121 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, $322,343 of which was incurred in our U.S. operation and $7,778 in Mexico. Our cost of goods sold in 2004 increased by $249,759, a 310.79% increase compared to $80,362 for the same period in 2003. The increase in cost of goods sold reflects the change in the Company's method of revenue recognition during this period. In countries except the United States, the Company's revenue is generated by the sale of kits to dairy processors. Each kit consists of flavor ingredients for the Company's Slammers(R) flavored milks and production rights to manufacture and sell the milks. In line with the Company's revenue recognition policies, the Company recognizes the full invoiced kit price as revenue and credits the processor dairies with the cost of the raw flavor ingredients, which the Company records as cost of goods sold. In the United States, the Company is responsible for the sale of finished Slammers(R) flavored milk (referred to as "unit sales") to retail outlets. For these unit sales, the Company recognizes as revenue the invoiced wholesale prices that the Company charges to the retail outlets that purchase the Slammers(R) flavored milks. The Company reports as cost of goods sold the price charged to it by Jasper Products, a third party processor under contract with the Company, for producing the finished Slammers(R) products. SEGMENTED REVENUES AND COSTS OF SALES The following table presents revenue by source and type against costs of goods sold, as well as combined gross revenues and gross margins. Revenues from Mexico are generated from kit sales to Neolac, a dairy processor in central Mexico. In the United States, revenues for the period ended March 31, 2004 were generated by kit sales to Parmalat, which is responsible for marketing and sales. These sales were the result of orders placed with the Company prior to December 31, 2003 but shipped subsequent to that date. Sales of "kits" to Parmalat will not continue beyond the current reported quarter. The Company recorded revenues from these sales are under "gross kit sales" on the accompanying table. The Company's revenue from the sale of Slammers(R) finished product to retail outlets is recorded as "unit sales" on the following table. Going forward, revenue from the Company's United States business will be from unit sales only.

The kit sales for the current period were from orders placed prior to December 31, 2003 but shipped subsequent to that date. The decrease is the result of the transition from the Looney Tunes(TM) product line to the Company's four new product lines during this period and the elimination of kit sales in the Company's United Sates business. In addition to kit sales, in the period ended March 31, 2004, the Company had revenues of $367,458 from selling finished product unit sales to retail outlets, compared to $92,918 for the same period in 2003, for an increase of $274,540, or 295.46%. The increase was the result of the continuation of the initial phasing in of the original unit sales model in the first quarter of 2003. In the period ended March 31, 2004, the Company's gross margin for U.S. sales of $89,495, decreased by $160,116, or by 64%, from $249,611 for the same period in 2003. The decrease in gross margin was the result of the phasing out of the Company's Looney Tunes(TM) product line and the development of four new product lines by the Company utilizing newly licensed and directly owned branded trademarks. The Company launched the new product lines, as scheduled, in the second quarter 2004. MEXICO AND CANADA Revenues for the period ended March 31, 2004 from kit sales in Mexico decreased $33,496 or 55.9% from $59,864 for the same period in 2003 to $26,368 in 2004. The decrease in gross margin was the result of the phasing out of the Company's Looney Tunes(TM) product line and the development of four new product lines by the Company utilizing newly licensed and directly owned branded trademarks. The Company did not report sales from Canada for the period ended March 31, 2004, compared with revenue of $35,966 for the period ended March 31, 2003. The Company recorded $7,778 in cost of sales in Mexico for the period ended March 31, 2004, a decrease of $10,192 or 56.7% from $17,970 for the same period in 2003. For the period ended March 31, 2004, the Company's gross profit of $18,590 for sales in Mexico decreased by $23,304, or 55.63%, from $41,849 for the same period in 2003. The decrease in gross profit was consistent with the decrease in sales volume for this period. CONSOLIDATED OPERATING EXPENSES The Company incurred selling expenses of $253,038 for the period ended March 31, 2004, all of which the Company incurred in its United States operations. The Company's selling expense for this period decreased by $108,037, a 29.92% decrease compared to selling expense of $361,075 for the same period in 2003. The decrease in selling expenses in the current period was due to decreased freight and promotional charges associated with the Company's transition away from its Looney Tunes(TM) product line and the development of four new product lines by the Company, utilizing newly licensed and directly owned branded trademarks. 16 The Company incurred general and administrative expenses for the period ended March 31, 2004 of $700,966, all of which the Company incurred in its United States business operations. The Company's general and administrative expenses for this period decreased by $71,504, a 9.3% decrease compared to $772,470 for the same period in 2003, $709,535 of which the Company incurred in its United states operations and $62,935 in China in 2003. The decrease of $71,504 in general and administrative expenses for the current period in 2004 is the result of a continued reduction in overhead expenses, including management salaries, travel and other cost saving measures. As a percentage of total revenue, the Company's general and administrative expenses decreased from 194.4% in the period ended March 31, 2003, to 160% for the current period in 2004. The Company anticipates a continued reduction of these expenses through cost cutting efforts and the refinement of business operations. INTEREST EXPENSE The Company incurred interest expense for the period ended March 31, 2004 of $31,685. The Company's interest expense increased by $29,641, a 1450% increase compared to approximately $2,044 for the same period in 2003. The increase was due to additional loans in 2003. LOSS PER SHARE The Company accrued dividends payable of $93,468 to various series of preferred stock during the period ended March 31, 2004. The Company's accrued dividends decreased for this period by $257,645, or 73.3%, from $351,113 for the same period in 2003. The increase in net loss before accrued dividends of $62,234, from $819,015 for the period ended March 31, 2003 to $881,249 for the current period, was offset by the 73.3% decrease in accrued dividends, resulting in a decrease in the Company's current period loss per share from $0.05 for the same period in 2003, compared to loss per share of $0.03 for the current period. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 CONSOLIDATED REVENUE We had annual revenues in 2003 of $1,200,142, with a cost of goods sold of $192,498, resulting in a gross profit of $1,007,644. Of the $1,200,142, $989,721 was generated in the U.S. and $21,314 from sales recognized by our wholly owned subsidiary, China Premium Food Corp (Shanghai) Co., Ltd in China. Our revenue in 2003 decreased by $572,828, a 32.31% decrease compared to revenue of $1,772,970 in 2002, which consisted of $1,515,117 in the U.S. and $55,128 in China. This decrease is the result of the reduction and ultimate cessation of the penetration and distribution of Looney Tunes(TM) flavored milk products, as well as the negotiation of new third party licenses to support the development of new branded milk products, both domestically and internationally. In addition, our China business experienced continuing difficulties with market penetration of its Looney(TM) branded products, including what we perceived to be the licensor's continuing overall lack of brand support in China. In 2003, we combined gross margin of $1,007,644 decreased by $485,971, or 32.5%, from $1,493,615 in 2002. CONSOLIDATED COST OF GOODS SOLD We incurred cost of goods sold of $192,498 in 2003, consisting of $127,647 in its U.S operations and $55,650 in Mexico and Canada. Our cost of goods sold in 2003 decreased by $86,857, a 31% decrease compared to $279,355 in 2002, of which $184,022 was incurred in the U.S. and $42,291 was incurred in the Canada and Mexico. The decrease in our cost of good sold resulted from decreased sales in 2003. 17 In Mexico, Canada, China and the United States, our revenue is generated in part by the sale of kits to dairy processors. Each kit consists of flavor ingredients for our Slammers(R) Looney Tunes(TM) flavored milks and production rights to manufacture and sell the milks. In line with our revenue recognition policies, we recognized the full invoiced kit price as revenue and credits the processor dairies with the cost of the raw flavor ingredients, which our records as cost of goods sold. In addition to kit sales revenue, in the United States we are responsible for the sale of finished Slammers(R) Looney Tunes(TM) flavored milk (referred to as "units sales") to retail outlets. For these unit sales, we also recognizes as revenue the difference between the prices charged by the processor dairies to produce the milks and the price that we charges to the retail outlets that purchase the milks directly from the processor dairies. Since we benefit from only the difference between two prices, it does not record any costs of goods sold against this revenue event. Segmented revenues and costs of goods sold (2003 and 2002) The following table presents revenue by source and type against costs of goods sold, as well as combined gross revenues and gross margins. China sales are attributed to the Company's wholly owned Chinese subsidiary, China Premium Food Corp (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.; our North America operations generated the remaining revenue. Revenues from Canada are generated by kit sales to Farmers Dairy, a Halifax dairy processor. Revenues from Mexico are generated from kit sales to Neolac, a dairy processor in central Mexico. In the United States, revenues are generated by kit sales to Parmalat, which is responsible for marketing and sales and kit sales to two dairy processors that produce extended shelf life and aseptic long life Slammers(R) Looney Tunes(TM) product. Revenues from these sales are recorded under "US Kit Sales" on the accompanying tables, and our revenue from the sale of ESL and aseptic is recorded as "Unit Sales" on the following table: United 2003 States Canada Mexico China Total Company ------------ ----------- ----------- ----------- -------------- Revenue - unit sales $ 356,985 $ - $ - $ - $ 356,985 Revenue - net kit sales 2,737 - - - 2,737 Revenue - gross kit sales 629,999 43,745 145,362 21,314 840,420 ------------ ----------- ----------- ----------- -------------- Total revenue 989,721 43,745 145,362 21,314 1,200,142 Cost of goods sold (127,647) (10,403) (45,247) (9,201) (192,498) ------------ ----------- ----------- ----------- -------------- Gross margin $ 862,074 $ 33,342 $ 100,115 $ 12,113 $ 1,007,644 ------------ ----------- ----------- ----------- -------------- United 2002 States Canada Mexico China Total Company ------------ ----------- ----------- ----------- -------------- Revenue -unit sales $ 232,595 $ - $ - $ - $ 232,595 Revenue -net kit sales 433,118 - - - 433,118 Revenue -gross kit sales 849,404 112,700 90,025 55,128 1,107,257 ------------ ----------- ----------- ----------- -------------- Total revenue 1,515,117 112,700 90,025 55,128 1,772,970 Cost of goods sold (184,022) (23,511) (18,780) (53,042) (279,355) ------------ ----------- ----------- ----------- -------------- Gross margin $ 1,331,095 $ 89,189 $ 71,245 $ 2,086 $ 1,493,615 ------------ ----------- ----------- ----------- -------------- UNITED STATES (JASPER, SHAMROCK AND PARMALAT SALES) Revenues in 2003 from kit sales in the United States decreased 50% from approximately $1,282,500 in 2002 to approximately $632,700 in 2003. In addition to kit sales, in 2003 we had revenues of approximately $357,000 from selling finished product unit sales to retail outlets, a 53.5% increase of $124,390 from $232,595 in 2002. The decrease in revenues from kit sales was the result of two factors: 18 o the reduction and ultimate cessation of the penetration and distribution of Looney Tunes(TM) flavored milk products, which resulted from the increasing weakness of the Looney Tunes(TM) brand, and o our transition away from Looney Tunes(TM) to the development of other branded flavored milk products, which resulted in a period during which processors did not purchase kits owing to our decrease in and ultimate cessation of sales activities for the Looney Tunes(TM) product, while generating marketing interest in the new product line. The increase in unit sales in 2003 was the result of the implementation of greater efficiencies in the production and distribution of the branded flavored milk and the reduced necessity to pay "slotting fees" to already established wholesale customers. In 2002, certain production/distribution costs and entry level slotting fees reduced the gross revenue reported by the Company for unit sales owing to "contra-revenue" accounting considerations. In 2003, our gross margin for U.S. sales of $862,074 decreased by $469,021, or by 35.2%, from $1,331,095 in 2002. The decrease in gross profit was the result of the decrease in overall sales, as discussed above. MEXICO AND CANADA Revenues in 2003 from kit sales in Mexico increased 61% from approximately $90,000 in 2002 to approximately $145,300 in 2003. The increase was the result of greater market penetration and brand awareness in Mexico. The Company incurred cost of goods sold of approximately $45,000 in 2003 in connection with its Mexico sales, a 141% increase from approximately $19,000 in 2002. This increase is consistent with the increase in sales volume. In 2003, our gross profit of approximately $100,000 for kit sales in Mexico increased by $29,000, or 41%, from approximately $71,000 in 2002. The increase in gross profit is consistent with the increase in sales volume. Canada sales decreased 61% from approximately $113,000 in 2002 to approximately $44,000. The decrease in sales was the result of lower margins experienced by the Canadian processor, with commensurately fewer resources available for marketing efforts directed at brand growth. We incurred cost of goods sold of approximately $10,400 in 2003 in connection with its Canada sales, a 56% decrease from approximately $23,500 in 2002. This decrease is consistent with the decrease in sales volume. In 2003, our gross profit of approximately $ 33,300 for kit sales in Canada decreased by $55,700, or 63%, from approximately $89,000 in 2002. The decrease in gross profit is consistent with the decrease in sales volume. CHINA Revenues in 2002 from kit sales in China decreased 61% from approximately $55,000 in 2002 to approximately $21,300 in 2003. The decrease was the result of the lack of sales in the retail area owing to competition, poor brand support and production issues related to SARS. We incurred costs of goods sold of approximately $9,200 in 2003 in connection with its China sales, an 83% decrease from approximately $53,000 in 2002. This decrease is consistent with the decrease in sales volume. In 2003, our gross profit of approximately $12,000 for sales in China increased by approximately $10,000, or 481%, from a gross profit of approximately $2,000 in 2002. CONSOLIDATED OPERATING EXPENSE We incurred selling expenses in 2003 of approximately $1,740,000. Our selling expense increased in 2003 by approximately $964,000, a 124% increase compared to selling expense of approximately $776,000 in 2002. The increase in selling expenses in 2003 was due in part to the fact that we continue to implement its refined business plan in the U.S. with respect to unit sales, where the majority of the selling expenses are incurred. Of the increase of $964,000, approximately $232,000 was incurred for freight and delivery expense, approximately $35,000 was related to marketing, approximately $380,000 for various reclamation costs and approximately $320,000 for the write off of product packaging costs resulting from the discontinuance of the Warner Bros. Looney(TM) Tunes branded products. As a percentage of total revenue, our selling expense increased from approximately 44% of total revenue in 2002 to approximately 145% of total revenue in 2003. The increase was in part due to the increase in reclamation costs in 2003. 19 We incurred product development costs in 2003 of approximately $5,500. Product development expenses in 2003 decreased by approximately $233,728, or 98% compared to approximately $239,000 in 2002. The decrease was mainly the result of developing two new products and corresponding new packaging designs in 2002. We incurred general and administrative expenses in 2003 of approximately $2,250,000 consisting of $2,133,400 in its North America Bravo! operations and $116,278 in its China operations. Our general and administrative expenses in 2003 decreased by approximately $1,366,000, a 38% decrease compared to approximately $3,616,000 in 2002, of which approximately $3,424,000 was incurred in our North America Bravo! operations and approximately $192,000 was incurred in China. The decrease of approximately $1,290,000 in general and administrative expenses in our North America Bravo! operations in 2003 is the result of a reduction in expenses, including management salaries and the reclassification of certain expense items as selling expenses that were reported for a portion of 2002 as general and administrative expenses. At the end of the first quarter 2003, two members of senior management left our company and were not replaced, and in the last two quarters of 2003, three management personnel took an average 7% voluntary reduction in salary. As a percentage of total revenue, our general and administrative expenses decreased from 204% in 2002 to 187% in 2003 due to the reduction of 2003 expenses. INTEREST EXPENSE We incurred net interest expense in 2003 of approximately $29,500. Our interest expense increased by approximately $6,500, a 29% increase, compared to approximately $23,000 in 2002. The increase of $6,500 was due to outstanding and additional loans in 2003. LOSS PER SHARE We recorded accrued dividends for approximately $902,000, including deemed dividends, to various series of preferred stock during 2003. Compared to the total accrued dividends on a consistent basis, we accrued dividends decreased by approximately $110,000 due primarily to the conversion of preferred stock in 2003. With the decrease in net loss before accrued dividends of approximately $143,000, our current year loss per share was $0.15 per share. Compared to loss per share of $0.23 in 2002, the loss per share in 2003 decreased by $0.08, a 35% decrease, mainly due to the increase of common stock in 2003 by 8,275,373 shares in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of March 31, 2004, we reported that net cash used in operating activities was $772,250, net cash provided by financing activities was $800,000 and net cash used in investing activities was $1,133. We had a negative working capital of $ 3,107,738 as of March 31, 2004. Compared to $551,316 of net cash used in operating activities in the period ended March 31, 2003, our current year net cash used in operating activities increased by $220,934 to $772,250 due to the fact that we did not use our equity to pay service providers in lieu of cash payments in this current period. Included in the net loss in this current period were depreciation and amortization and stock compensation of $149,100, compared to $54,202 for the same period in 2003. Changes in accounts receivable in this current period in 2004 resulted in a cash increase of $5,877, compared to a cash increase in receivables of $65,187 for the same period in 2003, having a net result of a decrease of $59,310. The changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the period ended March 31, 2003 contributed to a cash increase of $158,340, whereas the changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities for the current period in 2004 amounted to an increase of $409,736. We have adopted and will keep implementing cost cutting measures to lower our costs and expenses and to pay our accounts payable and accrued liabilities by using cash and equity instruments. Our cash flow generated through operating activities was inadequate to cover all of our cash disbursement needs in the period ended March 31, 2004, and we had to rely on equity financing to cover expenses. 20 Our cash used in 2004 in investing activities for furniture and equipment was $1,133 for computer equipment in the U.S. Compared to disbursements in the same period in 2003, the $1,133 expenditure was insignificant. Our net cash provided by financing activities for the period ended March 31, 2004 was $800,000. New cash provided by financing activities for the same period in 2003 was $401,665, for a net increase of $3,98,335. The increase was due to issuing Series K preferred stock with total proceeds of approximately $800,000 in this current period. We used the proceeds of the Series K issue for working capital purposes. Notwithstanding total cash proceeds of $800,000, we owed approximately $917,000 as of March 31, 2004 for the note to Jasper Products. Going forward, our primary requirements for cash consist of (1) the continued development of the Company's business model in the United States and on an international basis; (2) general overhead expenses for personnel to support the new business activities; and (3) development, launch and marketing costs for the our line of new aseptic branded flavored milk products. Our estimates that we need for financing to meet cash needs for operations will continue to the fourth quarter of 2004, when cash supplied by operating activities will approach the anticipated cash requirements for operation expenses. We anticipate the need for additional financing in 2004 to reduce our liabilities, assist in marketing and to improve shareholders' equity status. No assurances can be given that we will be able to obtain additional financing or that operating cash flows will be sufficient to fund our operations. We currently have monthly working capital needs of approximately $220,000. Our company will continue to incur significant selling and other expenses in 2004 in order to derive more revenue in retail markets, through the introduction and ongoing support of our new products. Certain of these expenses, such as slotting fees and freight charges, will be reduced as a function of unit sales costs as we expand our sales markets and increase our sales within established markets. Freight charges will be reduced as we are able to ship more full truck-loads of product given the reduced per unit cost associated with full truck loads versus less than full truck loads. Similarly, slotting fees, which are paid to warehouses or chain stores as initial set up or shelf space fees, are essentially one-time charges per new customer. We believe that along with the increase in our unit sales volume, the average unit selling expense and associated costs will decrease, resulting in gross margins sufficient to mitigate our cash needs. In addition, we are actively seeking additional financing to support our operational needs and to develop an expanded promotional program for our products. We are continuing to explore new points of sale for our branded flavored milk. Presently, we are aggressively pursuing the school and vending market through trade/industry shows and individual direct contacts. The implementation of such a school base program, if viable, could have an impact on the level of our revenue during 2004. Similarly, we expect that the greater control over sales resulting from our refined business model and the anticipated expansion into bodega stores as well as national chains, such as 7-Eleven, will have a positive impact on revenues in the second quarter of 2004. In the third quarter 2003, we commenced an analysis of the Looney Tunes(TM) brand performance within the context of the possible renewal of its Warner Bros. licenses for United States, Mexico, China and Canada. In the fourth quarter 2003, we concluded that, as a function of the sales of flavored milks, the Looney Tunes(TM) brand has not supported the guaranteed royalty structure required by Warner Bros. for our licenses. In the fourth quarter 2003, the Company decided not to renew its license agreements with Warner Bros., and began to develop new products in anticipation of the consummation of other license relationships with Marvel Comics and MoonPie for co-branded flavored milk, as well as a new single Slammers(R) brand. We have developed new aseptic products in anticipation of these licenses and our own singular brand. We plan to launch the following new products in the second quarter 2004.

SADAFCO will process our Slammers (R) branded flavored milks, including the Marvel line, for distribution in nine Middle East countries. SADAFCO has the capacity to process our branded milk products for distribution throughout the European Community. Our international business is facilitated by AsheTrade, our international agent, with offices in Miami, FL and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. DEBT STRUCTURE As of March 31, 2004, we held two licenses for Looney Tunes(TM) characters and names from Warner Bros. Our company accounts for the guaranteed royalty payments under these licenses as debt and licensing rights as assets. The following is a summary of the balances owed as of March 31, 2004 and the license expiration dates: Amount LICENSE Guaranty Balance Due Past Due Expiration Date --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. License $ 500,000 $ - $ - 12/31/03 U.S. TAZ $ 250,000 $ - $ N/A China $ 400,000 $ 147,115 $ 147,115 10/29/03 Mexico $ 145,000 $ $ 05/31/04 Canada $ 32,720 $ - $ - 03/31/04 The China license had been extended to October 29, 2003 by agreement of the parties, and we did not seek another license from Warner Bros. for China. This decision was based upon the lack of sales in our China markets and what we perceived to be the licensor's continuing overall lack of brand support in China. Our company and Warner Bros. dispute the contractual necessity of the payment of the balance owed on the China license as a result of the above circumstances. INTERNATIONAL PAPER During the process of acquiring from American Flavors China, Inc. the 52% of equity interest in Hangzhou Meilijian, we issued an unsecured promissory note to assume the American Flavors' debt owed to a supplier, International Paper. The face value of that note was $282,637 at an interest rate of 10.5% per annum, without collateral. The note had 23 monthly installment payments of $7,250 with a balloon payment of $159,862 at the maturity date of July 15, 2000. On July 6, 2000, International Paper agreed to extend the note to July 1, 2001, and the principal amount was adjusted due to a different interest calculation. International Paper imposed a charge of $57,000 to renegotiate the note owing to the failure of Hangzhou Meilijian to pay for certain packing material, worth more than $57,000 made to order in 1999. The current outstanding balance on this note is $187,743. We are delinquent in our payments under this note. 21 INDIVIDUAL LOANS On November 6 and 7, 2001, respectively, we received the proceeds of two loans aggregating $100,000 from two offshore lenders. The two promissory notes, one for $34,000 and the other for $66,000, were payable February 1, 2002 and bear interest at the annual rate of 8%. These loans are secured by a general security interest in all our assets. On February 1, 2002, the parties agreed to extend the maturity dates until the completion of the anticipated Series H financing. On June 18, 2002, the respective promissory note maturity dates were extended by agreement of the parties to December 31, 2002. On June 18, 2002, we agreed to extend the expiration dates of warrants issued in connection with our Series D and F preferred until June 17, 2005 and to reduce the exercise price of certain of those warrants to $1.00, in partial consideration for the maturity date extension. The holders of these notes have agreed to extend the maturity dates and the notes are now payable on a demand basis. On August 27, 2003, we received the proceeds of a loan from Mid-Am Capital, L.L.C., in the amount of $150,000. The note was payable November 25, 2003 and bears interest at the annual rate of 10%. This loan is secured by a general security interest in all our assets. On April 2, 2004, this note was paid and cancelled. On January 28, 2004, we converted accounts payable in the amount of $1,128,385 by the issuance of a 10% short term promissory note to Jasper Products, LLC, dated January 1, 2004, in the principal amount of $1,128,385 for amounts owed to Jasper in connection with Jasper's processing and sale of our products. As of March 31, 2004, we paid $200,000 in principal and was credited an additional $11,350. On April 20, 2004, we paid an additional $200,000. On May 7, 2004, we paid $718,368 in full payment of the note's principal and accrued interest. On May 6, 2004, we issued a secured promissory note to Mid-Am Capital LLC in the principal amount of $750,000. The note provides for 8% interest and has a maturity date of September 4, 2004. We issued warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of our common stock to Mid-Am in connection with this promissory note. The warrants are exercisable for one year from issue at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. We used the proceeds of this promissory note to pay the promissory note issued to Jasper Products in January 2004. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES To obtain funding for our ongoing operations, we entered into the two financing transactions. NOVEMBER 2003 In November 2003, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with two accredited investors in for the sale of (i) $400,000 in convertible debentures, (ii) class A warrants to buy 2,000,000 shares of our common stock and (iii) class B warrants to buy 10,000,000 shares of common stock. In connection with this financing, we paid a fee, which included (i) 400,000 shares of common stock, (ii) class A warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock and (iii) 10% of the proceeds received by us in connection with the exercise of the class B warrants, which is payable in shares of common stock at the rate of one share of common stock for every ten shares of common stock actually issued upon exercise of the class B warrants. The debentures issued in connection with the November 2003 financing bear interest at 8%, mature on two years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into our common stock, at the selling stockholders' option, at the lower of (i) $0.05 or (ii) 75% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the common stock on a principal market for the 30 trading days before but not including the conversion date. However, during the six months after the issuance of the convertible debenture, the conversion price shall not be less than $.03 per share unless an event of default exists. The conversion floor price of $.03 per share shall be extended indefinitely, if during the six months after the issuance of the convertible debenture (i) the closing trading price of our common stock for any consecutive 15 day trading period is $.20 or higher, (ii) the daily trading volume for each such 15 trading days is 300,000 or more shares of common stock and (iii) the registration statement registering the shares issuable under the convertible debenture is effective for each such 15 trading days, unless an event of default exists. Accordingly, if the above factors are not satisfied, there is in fact no limit on the number of shares into which the debentures may be converted. As of April 30, 2004, the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for our common stock during the preceding 30 trading days as reported on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board was $.14 and, therefore, the conversion price for the convertible debentures was $.05. Based on this conversion price, the $400,000 convertible debentures, excluding interest, were convertible into 8,000,000 shares of our common stock. 22 The selling stockholders have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert or exercise their warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. See the "Selling Stockholders" and "Risk Factors" sections for a complete description of the convertible debentures. This prospectus relates to the resale of the shares of common stock and the common stock underlying these convertible debentures and warrants. APRIL 2004 In April 2004, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with two accredited investors for the sale of (i) $500,000 in convertible debentures and (ii) warrants to buy 3,000,000 shares of our common stock. In connection with this financing, we paid a fee, which included an aggregate of convertible debentures in the amount of $50,000. The debentures issued in connection with the April 2004 financing bear interest at 10%. The principal on the notes is due in equal monthly installments commencing on November 1, 2004 until October 1, 2005. On October 1, 2005, all principal and interest shall become due. In the event that our common stock has a closing price in excess of $.20 for the five days preceding the monthly payment, then, within our discretion, the monthly payment may be deferred. The notes are convertible into our common stock at $0.10 per share. Based on this conversion price, the $550,000 convertible debentures, excluding interest, were convertible into 5,500,000 shares of our common stock. The selling stockholders have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert or exercise their warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. See the "Selling Stockholders" and "Risk Factors" sections for a complete description of the convertible debentures. EFFECTS OF INFLATION We believe that inflation has not had any material effect on its net sales and results of operations. EFFECT OF FLUCTUATION IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES Our Shanghai subsidiary is located in China. We buy and sell products in China using Chinese renminbi as the functional currency. Based on Chinese government regulation, all foreign currencies under the category of current account are allowed to freely exchange with hard currencies. During the past two years of operation, there were no significant changes in exchange rates. However, there is no assurance that there will be no significant change in exchange rates in the near future. 23 BUSINESS OUR COMPANY Our company is a Delaware corporation, which was formed on April 27, 1996. Our company formerly owned the majority interest in two Sino-American joint ventures in China, known as Green Food Peregrine Children's Food Co. Ltd. and Hangzhou Meilijian Dairy Products Co., Ltd. These two joint ventures processed milk products for local consumption in the areas of Shanghai and Hangzhou, China, respectively. We closed Green Food Peregrine in December 1999 and sold its interest in Hangzhou Meilijian Dairy in December 2000. In December 1999, we obtained Chinese government approval for the registration of a new wholly owned subsidiary in the Wai Gao Qiao "free trade zone" in Shanghai, China. We formed this import-export company to import, export and distribute food products on a wholesale level in China. In addition, China Premium (Shanghai) is our legal presence in China with respect to contractual arrangements for the development, marketing and distribution of branded food products. We have ceased all business activities of this Chinese subsidiary in the first quarter of 2003, owing to low sales volume and insufficient financial or logistic resources to market our products profitably in mainland China. In December of 1999, we formed Bravo! Foods, Inc., a wholly owned Delaware subsidiary, which we utilized to advance the promotion and distribution of branded Looney Tunes(TM) products in the United States, through production agreements with local dairy processors. At the end of 2001, we assumed this business, and our U.S. subsidiary ceased functioning as an operating company at that time. On February 1, 2000, we changed our name from China Peregrine Food Corporation to China Premium Food Corporation, and on March 16, 2001 we changed our name to Bravo! Foods International Corp. THE BUSINESS Our business involves the development and marketing of our owned Slammers(R) trademarked brand, the obtaining of license rights from third party holders of intellectual property rights to other trademarked brands, logos and characters and the granting of production and marketing rights to processor dairies to produce branded flavored milk utilizing our intellectual property. We generate revenue primarily through the sale of "kits" to these processors. In the United States, we also generates revenue from the unit sales of finished branded flavored milks to retail consumer outlets. "Kits" sold to processors consist of flavor ingredients that are developed and refined by us and the grant of production rights to processors to produce the flavored milks. The consideration paid to us under these production contracts consists of fees charged for our grant of production rights for the branded flavored milks plus a charge for flavor ingredients. The fees charged by us for the production rights have been formulated to match our royalty costs for our intellectual property licenses. WARNER BROS. LICENSES In January 1999, we commenced a licensing agreement with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, permitting us to produce and distribute a line of high quality, flavored milks branded with the Warner Bros. Looney TunesJ logos, characters and names in the Shanghai and Hangzhou greater metropolitan areas. To obtain this license, we agreed to pay 3% royalty fees of net invoiced price of each licensed product with a minimum guaranteed royalty of $300,000. In the summer of 2000, we agreed to pay an additional $100,000 for an expanded license for all of mainland China and an extension of the expiration date to June 2003. Thereafter, the parties agreed to extend the license to October 29, 2003, at which time the license expired. On July 27, 2000, we executed a licensing agreement with Warner Bros. to use Looney TunesJ characters and names on milk products in the United States. This licensing agreement obligated us to pay a guaranteed royalty of $500,000, and granted us the right to use the cartoon characters of Bugs Bunny, Tweety, Tasmanian Devil, Road Runner, Wile E Coyote, Lola Bunny, Marvin the Martian, Sylvester and Daffy Duck on milk products for sale in specified retail outlets in the fifty United States, Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands. The initial term of the agreement was for 3 years, from January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2002. In early 2002, the parties agreed to extend the term of this license for an additional year to December 31, 2003. This extension was part of a promotional license for the Warner Bros. "Taz Atti-Tour" for the period March 13, 2002 to December 31, 2002, for which we paid an additional $250,000 guaranteed royalty. 24 On November 7, 2001, we executed a licensing agreement with Warner Bros. to use Looney TunesJ characters and names on milk products in Mexico. This licensing agreement grants us the right to use the Warner Bros. cartoon characters on milk products for sale in specified retail outlets throughout Mexico. The initial term of the agreement is for 3 years, from June 1, 2001 through May 31, 2004. On May 28, 2002, we executed a licensing agreement with Warner Bros. to use Looney TunesJ characters and names on milk products in Canada. This licensing agreement grants us the right to use the Warner Bros. cartoon characters on milk products for sale in specified retail outlets throughout Canada. The initial term of the agreement was for 25 months, from March 1, 2002 through March 31, 2004. All of our licensing agreements recognize that we will use third party production agreements for the processing of flavored milk products, and that the milk products will be produced and may be sold directly by those processors. Our responsibilities under its third party production agreements are to design and provide Warner Bros. approved packaging artwork, to help determine the best tasting flavors for the particular market and to assist in the administration, promotion and expansion of the Looney TunesJ branded milk program. Ingredients for the flavored milks are formulated to the Company's specifications and supplied on an exclusive basis by Givaudan Roure. In the United States, the Company assumes the responsibility for sales and marketing of the Looney TunesJ flavored milks produced by Jasper Products and Shamrock Farms. Under our United States license, we agreed to a royalty rate of 5% on the amount invoiced to the producer dairies for "kits". In Mexico, we agreed to a sliding scale royalty rate initially equal to 5% on the amount invoiced, with rate increases to 5% and 7%, respectively for the second and third contract years. We agreed to a 5% royalty rate on the amount invoiced to the producers in Canada and a 3% royalty rate in China. NON-RENEWAL OF WARNER BROS. LICENSES. The history of our company with all of the Warner Bros. licenses, as a function of sales of the flavored milks, has not supported the guaranteed royalty structure required by Warner Bros. for its licenses. As a result, we developed our own Slammers(R)brand in 2003 and executed licenses with Marvel Comics and Moon Pie in 2004. For these reasons, in the fourth quarter 2003, we decided not to seek the renewal for the China license and not accept the offer of Warner Bros. to renew the U.S. license. In addition, we decided not to renew our licenses with Warner Bros. for Canada and Mexico. PRODUCTION CONTRACTS Prior to 2000, our company's business primarily involved the production and distribution of milk in China. In the third quarter of 2000, our company began to refocus our company's business away from the production - distribution aspect of the value chain by implementing a business model that involved the branding, marketing, packaging design and promotion of flavored fresh milk in the United States, branded with Looney Tunes(tm) characters. During the middle of 2001, this refocused business was implemented in China, in December 2001 in Mexico, and in the third quarter of 2002 in Canada. United States The initial dairy processors with which we had production contracts were members of Quality Chekd Dairies, Inc., a national cooperative with over 40 member dairies that process fresh milk on a regional basis. This business, while viable, proved to have limited sales expansion capabilities in the US owing to the inherent regional distribution limitations of a "fresh" milk product with a short shelf life. 25 The advent of extended shelf life (ESL) and aseptic long life milk presented us with the opportunity to dramatically increase sales on a national basis. In the third quarter of 2001 and the first quarter of 2002, we entered into production contracts with Shamrock Farms, located in Phoenix, Arizona and Jasper Products, of Joplin, Missouri, and began to market branded ESL and aseptic flavored milks to large national chain accounts. Significantly, with ESL and aseptic milks, we are no longer dependent upon regional processor dairies to promote the sale of our branded flavored milks. Since distribution issues do not limit ESL and aseptic milk sales to the accounts of regional dairy processors, we have assumed responsibility for promoting sales either directly or through food brokers who represent us with both national and regional accounts. This business model, coupled with the production capacity of these two ESL dairy processors, allowed us to seek national accounts in an aggressive fashion, resulting in arrangements to supply flavored milk products to over 11,000 stores nationally at the end of 2002. Under our current U.S. business model, our revenue source is derived not only from "kit" sales, but also from the differential between the cost to our company of producing the ESL and long life aseptic products and the wholesale price to our accounts for unit sales of the finished Looney Tunes(TM) flavored milks. In June 2002, we entered into a production contract with a division of Parmalat USA Corp. to produce, market and sell the Looney Tunes(TM) brand flavored milks. Under this agreement, Parmalat is the exclusive producer and distributor of Bravo! Foods' new Looney Tunes(TM) brand fortified aseptic milk, packaged in Tetra-Brik(TM) format under our Slammers Fortified Reduced Fat Milk(TM) logo in the United States. Our agreement with Parmalat gives us an expanded presence in supermarkets through the use of shelf stable aseptic milk that is processed, sold and distributed by Parmalat. In addition, under this agreement we retained responsibility for aseptic product sales in the food service sector, either directly or through food brokers who represented us with both national and regional accounts. Our agreement with Parmalat expired with the non-renewal of the Warner Bros. license for the United States. Mexico In December 2001, we commenced our contractual relationship with Neolac S.A, a national dairy processor located in central Mexico. We sell kits to Neolac, including production rights for its branded flavored milk for all of Mexico. Our responsibilities are to design and provide approved packaging artwork, to help determine the best tasting flavors for the particular market and to assist in the administration, promotion and expansion of the branded flavored milk program. Ingredients for the flavored milks are formulated to our specifications and supplied on an exclusive basis by Givaudan Roure. We do not have any responsibility for or participation in sales or distribution in Mexico. Canada In April 2002, we commenced our contractual relationship with Farmers Dairy, a dairy processor located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. We sell kits to Farmers Dairy, including production rights for the branded flavored milk products. Our responsibilities are to design and provide approved packaging artwork, to help determine the best tasting flavors for the particular market and to assist in the administration, promotion and expansion of the branded flavored milk program. Ingredients for the flavored milks are formulated to the Company's specifications and supplied on an exclusive basis by Givaudan Roure. We do not have any responsibility for or participation in sales or distribution in Canada. China Our withdrawal from milk production in China in 2000 resulted in the signing of supply agreements with Hangzhou Meilijian and Huai Nan Dairy to produce branded traditional white and flavored milks, which the Company sold in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Nanjing, Fuzhou, Wuxi and Suzhou. The administration of supply, distribution, marketing and sales of the branded flavored milk products in China was the responsibility of China Premium Food Corp Shanghai) Co, Ltd., our wholly owned Chinese registered subsidiary. 26 In October 2001, China Premium Food Corp (Shanghai) Co, Ltd .began to implement the Bravo! "kit sales" model with the execution of a production contract with Kunming Xuelan Dairy, located in Kunming City in Southwest China. From October 2001, through the third quarter 2002, Kunming Dairy produced the Company's branded flavored milks in 250ml single serve gable top packaging. In January 2002, Heilongjiang Wan Shan Dairy (Wonder Sun Dairy) began producing the vanilla Looney Tunes(TM) flavored milk. This dairy is located in Harbin City in Northeast China and has distribution rights to Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning and Hebei provinces as well as Beijing and Tianjin municipalities. As of December 31, 2003, China Premium Food Corp (Shanghai) Co, Ltd. ceased business activities in China. We closed all operations of this subsidiary in the first quarter of 2004. PRODUCTS Commencing in September of 2000, we implemented the "kit" sales program with third party dairy processors in the United States, for the production and sale of fresh branded flavored milk in single serve plastic bottles. This product, as with all of our U.S. products up to September 2000, had a limited shelf life of, generally, 21 days. In early 2002, we developed branded extended shelf life and aseptic long life flavored milk products. The extended shelf life product was sold in 11.5oz single serve plastic bottles and must be refrigerated. The shelf life of this product is 90 days. Our aseptic product does not require refrigeration and has a shelf life of 8 months. This product is packaged in an 11.2oz Tetra Pak Prisma(TM) sterile paper container. Both of these products were introduced to the public in the second and third quarters of 2002. Commencing in May 2002, we developed a new branded fortified flavored milk product under the "Slammers Fortified Reduced Fat Milk(R)" brand name. Our Slammers brand is used in conjunction with our licensed third party trademarks. Slammers(R) is made from 2 percent fat milk and is fortified with 11 essential vitamins. The introduction of this new product and the phase out of our "regular" branded milks occurred in the fourth quarter of 2002. Our Slammers(R) flavored milks are sold in the United States in single serve extended shelf life 11.5 oz plastic bottles, as well as the long life 11.2oz aseptic Tetra Pak Prisma(TM) package. Our Slammers(R) flavored milks are sold in Mexico and Canada in single serve extended shelf life 11.5 oz plastic bottles. In October 2002, Parmalat introduced Looney Tunes(TM) brand fortified aseptic milk, packaged in an 8oz Tetra-Brik(TM) format under our Slammers Fortified Reduced Fat Milk(R) logo pursuant to a production agreement with us executed in June 2002. The 8oz Tetra Brik Slammers(R) does not require refrigeration and has a shelf life of 6 months. Currently, this product is no longer available. In November 2002, we introduced Slim Slammers Fortified Milk(R), a low calorie version of our Slammers Fortified Reduced Fat Milk(R). Slim Slammers Fortified Milk(R) has no sugar added and is sweetened with sucralose, a natural sweetener made from sugar. Slim Slammers Fortified Milk(R) is made from 1 percent fat milk, is fortified with 11 essential vitamins and is available in the same flavors as our Slammers(R) brand. We will reintroduce this product in the United States with a new package and formulation in 2004. NEW PRODUCTS In the third quarter 2003, we commenced an analysis of the Looney Tunes(TM) brand performance within the context of the possible renewal of its Warner Bros. licenses for United States, Mexico, China and Canada. In the fourth quarter 2003, we concluded that, as a function of the sales of flavored milks, the Looney Tunes(TM) brand has not supported the guaranteed royalty structure required by Warner Bros. for its licenses. In the fourth quarter 2004, we decided not to renew our license agreements with Warner Bros. and began to develop new products in anticipation of the consummation of other license relationships for co-branded flavored milk with Marvel Comics and MoonPie, as well as a new single Slammers(R) brand. We plan to launch these products in the second quarter 2004 on a co-branded basis with Marvel Comics and a separate co-branded line with MoonPie. INDUSTRY TRENDS The dairy industry in the western world is a very mature industry with slow growth and, to a large extent, commodity like margins. The "got milk" campaign has helped heighten awareness of the nutritional benefits of dairy products but, even with this promotion, the US consumption of milk was basically flat two years ago. 27 Flavored milk was the only area of growth in the past two years and, when promoted aggressively, the sales of flavored milk actually increased the sales of traditional white milk. The International Dairy Foods Association reported that flavored milks represent the only category for price and margin gains. As a result, Nestles, Dean's, Hershey and Borden all promote their brand of refreshment drinks. Sales of flavored milks for the last two years continued to have a 7% gain in product volume and a 12% increase in sales measured in dollars. Growth of this nature is welcome to this industry and validates the interest by the trade in products like the Company's Slammers brand Looney Tunes(TM) milk. The Beverage Marketing Corp. projects that growth in white milk will be flat to .5%, with growth in flavored milks from 4% to 8% per year over the next five years. Growth in the distribution of single serve milk products is projected by this research group at from 10% to 20%. MARKET ANALYSIS The flavored milk business is a relatively new category in the dairy field. The flavored "refreshment" segment is both the fastest growing and most profitable category in the industry and is receiving the most attention in the industry today. Pioneered by Nestle with the NesQuik line and Dean Foods with the Chug brand, this "good for you" segment is in demand both in the U.S. and internationally. The International Dairy Foods Association reports that, although flavored milk currently amounts to only 5 to 6 percent of milk sales, it represents over 59% of the growth in milk sales. With the total milk category exceeding $9.3 billion in 2002, the flavored segment was approximately $496 million. Statistically, as the flavored segment grows, the entire category grows as well. Selling more flavored milks has resulted in more sales of white milk as well. In addition, the International Dairy Foods Association and Dairy Management Inc. have reported on studies suggesting that dairy products may help in weight loss efforts when coupled with a reduced calorie diet, based on data associating adequate calcium intake with lower body weight and reduced body fat. We continue to develop a niche in the single serve flavored milk business by utilizing strong, national branding as part of the promotion of our Slammers(R) and Slim Slammers(R) products. This niche has as its focus the increased demand for single serve, healthy and refreshing drinks. Market segment strategy The Bravo! model addresses a very clear and concise target market. We know from experience that the largest retailers of milk products are demanding new and more diverse refreshment drinks, specifically in the dairy area in response to consumer interest and demand. To that end, we have and will continue to differentiate our products from those of our competitors through innovative product formulations and packaging designs, such as those implemented in our Slammers fortified milk product line and our Slim Slammers(R) low calorie, no sugar added products. Our Slammers(R) milk products have had promising results penetrating this arena as consumers continue to look for healthy alternatives to carbonated beverages. The positioning of our products as a healthy, fun and great tasting alternative refreshment drink at competitive prices to more traditional beverages creates value for the producer and the retailer alike. This "profit orientation" for the trade puts old-fashioned milk products in a whole new light. The consumer is happy, the retailer is happy and the producer is able to take advantage of the value added by the brand and the resulting overall increase in milk sales. We have been and continue to pursue a strategic goal of placing our Slammers(R) milks in elementary, middle and high schools through ala carte lunch programs and vending facilities in school cafeterias and are promoting our Slim Slammers milks as low calorie, non-sugar added alternatives to traditional soft drinks Penetration of this market segment has been limited by logistic and economic concerns of school administrators in the push to remove traditional carbonated soft drinks from schools in favor of milk and milk based products. 28 COMPETITION There are definite differences in the various competitors approach to this new segment. The differences address packaging, processing, marketing and distribution. Bravo! has taken the course of least resistance while producing a product that is positioned to reward all involved economically. Dean Foods based their market entrance five years ago on a new package called the Chug. This was an innovative new way to market milk in a format that made it convenient to drink milk "on the fly". The "chug" bottle was introduced in 8 oz and 16 oz plastic milk bottles. These bottles have a wide mouth opening and a very attractive screw top for convenience of sealing. The graphic label on the bottle was a full wrap and was introduced in both white and chocolate flavors. Currently, Dean is producing a flavored milk line under a license from Hershey's. Nestle launched their new line of flavored milks approximately four years ago with a shaped bottle, the Nestle "bunny" and a broad line of flavors. Nestle, branding Nesquick as a new name distinct from Nestle Quick, produces a sterile aseptic product, which has long-life characteristics enabling fast national penetration. This long shelf life configuration offers considerable economic advantages in terms of shipping, storage, returns and production economies but significantly impacts product quality and taste. We have settled on the effort to develop and promote a taste tested ultra quality fresh product, while enjoying the instant recognition of international brands. We have sought and utilized what are believed to be well recognized families of intellectual properties in the form of cartoon/comic book characters. We have been able to enter into production contracts with several national and international dairies and has moved from fresh milk to ESL and aseptic long shelf life products to expand the market for our branded products. Our resources for promotions have been limited, and we run significantly less promotional activities in comparison to our competitors. Where we are in direct competition with Nestles and Hershey's, however, we have been able to maintain competitive sales levels. Employees We have seven full time employees located at our North Palm Beach corporate offices. China Premium Food Corp (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., ceased operations and does not maintain any employees in China. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY Neither our company nor our subsidiaries currently own any real property. As of February 1, 1999, we moved our corporate offices from West Palm Beach to 11300 US Highway 1, Suite 202, North, Palm Beach, Florida, pursuant to a lease with HCF Realty, Inc., having an initial term of five years. The term of this lease has been extended for five years to May 31, 2009, at a 25% reduction in base rent. The current monthly rent amounts to approximately $6,393. We do not have a policy to acquire property for possible capital gains or income generation. In addition, we do not invest in securities of real estate entities or developed or underdeveloped properties. 29 MANAGEMENT DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS The directors, executive officers and significant employees/advisors are as of April 30, 2004, as follows.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS In April 2004, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with two accredited investors for the sale of (i) $500,000 in convertible debentures and (ii) warrants to buy 3,000,000 shares of our common stock. Longview Fund LP purchased a convertible debenture in the amount of $250,000 and warrants to buy 1,500,000 shares of common stock. Phillip Pearce, a director of our company and Stanley Hirschman, our Chairman, serve on the Board of Directors of Redwood Grove Capital Management, LLC, which has a management agreement with Longview Fund LP. In addition, Mr. Pearce and Mr. Hirschman each own .05% of the outstanding membership interest of Redwood Grove Capital Management, LLC. 39 DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES COMMON STOCK We are authorized to issue up to 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.001. As of April 30, 2004, there were 40,296,574 shares of common stock outstanding. Holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. Upon the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of our company, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets which are legally available for distribution after payment of all debts and other liabilities and liquidation preference of any outstanding common stock. Holders of common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. We have engaged American Stock Transfer & Trust Company located at 59 Maiden Lane, Plaza Level, New York, NY 10038, as independent transfer agent or registrar. PREFERRED STOCK We are authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per shares. As of April 30, 2004, there were 692,065 shares of preferred stock outstanding. The board of directors has authority, without action by the stockholders, 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 preferred stock, if and when issued, may carry rights superior to those of the common stock. We do not have any plans to issue any shares of preferred stock. However, we consider it desirable to have one or more classes of preferred stock to provide us with greater flexibility in the future in the event that we elect to undertake an additional financing and in meeting corporate needs that may arise. If opportunities arise that would make it desirable to issue preferred stock through either public offerings or private placements, the provision for these classes of stock in our certificate of incorporation would avoid the possible delay and expense of a stockholders' meeting, except as may be required by law or regulatory authorities. Issuance of the preferred stock would result, however, in a series of securities outstanding that may have certain preferences with respect to dividends, liquidation, redemption, and other matters 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 that may be attached to the preferred stock may also result in the dilution of the net income per share and 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. As a result, it is not possible at this time to determine the respects in which a particular series of preferred stock will be superior to our common stock. The board of directors does not have any specific plan for the issuance of preferred stock at the present time and does not intend to issue any such stock on terms which it deems are not in our best interest or the best interests of our stockholders. WARRANTS In connection with a Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 2003, we issued 4,000,000 class A and 10,000,000 class B warrants to purchase shares of common stock. The A warrants are exercisable until three years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $0.05 per share. The B warrants are exercisable until three years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $1.00 per share. In connection with a Subscription Agreement dated April 2004, we issued 3,000,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable until five years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $0.15 per share. 40 In connection with the grant of an intellectual property license on February 1, 2004 we issued 750,000 warrants. The warrants have an exercise price of $.10 per share for the first year and, upon the occurrence of certain conditions tied to the royalty performance under the license, can be extended for an additional year with an exercise price of $.14 per share. CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES Approximately 13,500,000 shares of common stock are issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible debentures upon conversion of the convertible debentures issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 2003 and the Subscription Agreement dated April 2004. To obtain funding for our ongoing operations, we entered into the two financing transactions. NOVEMBER 2003 In November 2003, we entered a Subscription Agreement with two accredited investors in for the sale of (i) $400,000 in convertible debentures, (ii) class A warrants to buy 2,000,000 shares of our common stock and (iii) class B warrants to buy 10,000,000 shares of common stock. In connection with this financing, we paid a fee, which included (i) 400,000 shares of common stock, (ii) class A warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock and (iii) 10% of the proceeds received by us in connection with the exercise of the class B warrants, which is payable in shares of common stock at the rate of one share of common stock for every ten shares of common stock actually issued upon exercise of the class B warrants. The debentures issued in connection with the November 2003 financing bear interest at 8%, mature on two years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into our common stock, at the selling stockholders' option, at the lower of (i) $0.05 or (ii) 75% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the common stock on a principal market for the 30 trading days before but not including the conversion date. However, during the six months after the issuance of the convertible debenture, the conversion price shall not be less than $.03 per share unless an event of default exists. The conversion floor price of $.03 per share shall be extended indefinitely, if during the six months after the issuance of the convertible debenture (i) the closing trading price of our common stock for any consecutive 15 day trading period is $.20 or higher, (ii) the daily trading volume for each such 15 trading days is 300,000 or more shares of common stock and (iii) the registration statement registering the shares issuable under the convertible debenture is effective for each such 15 trading days, unless an event of default exists. Accordingly, the above factors are not satisfied, there is in fact no limit on the number of shares into which the debentures may be converted. As of April 27, 2004, the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for our common stock during the preceding 30 trading days as reported on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board was $.14 and, therefore, the conversion price for the convertible debentures was $.05. Based on this conversion price, the $400,000 convertible debentures, excluding interest, were convertible into 8,000,000 shares of our common stock. APRIL 2004 In April 2004, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with two accredited investors for the sale of (i) $500,000 in convertible debentures and (ii) five year warrants to buy 3,000,000 shares of our common stock at $.15 per share. In connection with this financing, we paid a feein the aggregate of convertible debentures in the amount of $50,000. The debentures issued in connection with the April 2004 financing bear interest at 10%. The principal on the notes is due in equal monthly installments commencing on November 1, 2004 until October 1, 2005. On October 1, 2005, all principal and interest shall become due. In the event that our common stock has a closing price in excess of $.20 for the five days preceding the monthly payment, then, within our discretion, the monthly payment may be deferred. The convertible debentures are convertible into shares of common stock at $.10 per share. Based on this conversion price. The $550,000 convertible debentures, excluding interest, are convertible into 5,500,000 shares of our common stock. The convertible debentures, excluding interest, are convertible into 5,500,000 shares of our common stock. Further, the convertible debentures issued in April 2004 were convertible into 5,000,000 shares of common stock and the convertible debentures issued in connection with the fee were convertible into 500,000 shares of common stock. 41 This prospectus relates to the resale of the shares of common stock and the common stock underlying these convertible debentures and warrants. INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages for breach of such director's or officer's fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, is to eliminate our rights and our shareholders (through shareholders' derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act" or "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The selling stockholders and any of their respective pledgees, donees, assignees and other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares: o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits the purchaser; o block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; o purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; o an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; o privately-negotiated transactions; o short sales that are not violations of the laws and regulations of any state or the United States; o broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; o through the writing of options on the shares o a combination of any such methods of sale; and o any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholders shall have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time. The selling stockholders may also engage in short sales against the box, puts and calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades. The selling stockholders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that a selling stockholder will attempt to sell shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then market price. The selling stockholders cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the shares offered in this prospectus, may be deemed to be "underwriters" as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules and regulations under such acts. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. 42 We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, including fees and disbursements of counsel to the selling stockholders, but excluding brokerage commissions or underwriter discounts. The selling stockholders, alternatively, may sell all or any part of the shares offered in this prospectus through an underwriter. No selling stockholder has entered into any agreement with a prospective underwriter and there is no assurance that any such agreement will be entered into. The selling stockholders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling stockholders defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares. The selling stockholders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations under such act, including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the selling stockholders or any other such person. In the event that the selling stockholders are deemed affiliated purchasers or distribution participants within the meaning of Regulation M, then the selling stockholders will not be permitted to engage in short sales of common stock. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with respect to such securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. In regards to short sells, the selling stockholder can only cover its short position with the securities they receive from us upon conversion. In addition, if such short sale is deemed to be a stabilizing activity, then the selling stockholder will not be permitted to engage in a short sale of our common stock. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders, or their transferees or assignees, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments the selling stockholders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. If the selling stockholders notify us that they have a material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the resale of the common stock, then we would be required to amend the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and file a prospectus supplement to describe the agreements between the selling stockholders and the broker-dealer. PENNY STOCK The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: o that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and o the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must 43 o obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and o make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: o sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and o that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. 44 SELLING STOCKHOLDERS The table below sets forth information concerning the resale of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the selling stockholders. We will receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants. Assuming all the shares registered below are sold by the selling stockholders, none of the selling stockholders will continue to own any shares of our common stock. The following table also sets forth the name of each person who is offering the resale of shares of common stock by this prospectus, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each person, the number of shares of common stock that may be sold in this offering and the number of shares of common stock each person will own after the offering, assuming they sell all of the shares offered.

The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the selling stockholders has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares, which the selling stockholders has the right to acquire within 60 days. The actual number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the convertible debentures is subject to adjustment depending on, among other factors, the future market price of the common stock, and could be materially less or more than the number estimated in the table. (1) Includes a good faith estimate of the shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures and exercise of warrants, based on current market prices. Because the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures is dependent in part upon the market price of the common stock prior to a conversion, the actual number of shares of common stock that will be issued upon conversion will fluctuate daily and cannot be determined at this time. Under the terms of the convertible debentures, if the convertible debentures had actually been converted on April 27, 2004, the conversion price would have been $.05 for the convertible debentures issued in November 2003 and $.10 for the convertible debentures registered in April 2004. The actual number of shares of common stock offered in this prospectus, and included in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, includes such additional number of shares of common stock as may be issued or issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures and exercise of the related warrants by reason of any stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction involving the common stock, in accordance with Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933. However the selling stockholders have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert their convertible debentures or exercise their warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, the number of shares of common stock set forth in the table for the selling stockholders exceeds the number of shares of common stock that the selling stockholders could own beneficially at any given time through their ownership of the convertible debentures and the warrants. In that regard, the beneficial ownership of the common stock by the selling stockholder set forth in the table is not determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

In connection with this financing, we paid a fee, which included (i) 400,000 shares of common stock, (ii) class A warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock and (iii) 10% of the proceeds received by us in connection with the exercise of the class B warrants, which is payable in shares of common stock at the rate of one share of common stock for every ten shares of common stock actually issued upon exercise of the class B warrants. This prospectus relates to the resale of the shares of common stock and the common stock underlying these convertible debentures and warrants. The debentures bear interest at 8%, mature on two years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into our common stock, at the selling stockholders' option, at the lower of (i) $0.05 or (ii) 75% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the common stock on a principal market for the 30 trading days before but not including the conversion date. However, during the six months after the issuance of the convertible debenture, the conversion price shall not be less than $.03 per share unless an event of default exists. The conversion floor price of $.03 per share shall be extended indefinitely, if during the six months after the issuance of the convertible debenture (i) the closing trading price of our common stock for any consecutive 15 day trading period is $.20 or higher, (ii) the daily trading volume for each such 15 trading days is 300,000 or more shares of common stock and (iii) the registration statement registering the shares issuable under the convertible debenture is effective for each such 15 trading days, unless an event of default exists. Accordingly, the above factors are not satisfied, there is in fact no limit on the number of shares into which the debentures may be converted. As of April 27, 2004, the trading prices for our common stock during the preceding 30 trading days as reported on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board was $.14 and, therefore, the conversion price for the convertible debentures was $.05. Based on this conversion price, the $400,000 convertible debentures, excluding interest, were convertible into 8,000,000 shares of our common stock. The full principal amount of the convertible debentures are due upon default under the terms of convertible debentures. In connection with a Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 2003, we have issued 4,000,000 class A and 10,000,000 class B warrants to purchase shares of common stock. The A warrants are exercisable until three years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $0.05 per share. The B warrants are exercisable until three years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $1.00 per share. In 2004, we entered into an agreement with holders of the B warrants whereby we amended 5,000,000 of the B Warrants to have an exercise price of $.10 per share. The conversion price of the debentures and the exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances such as if we pay a stock dividend, subdivide or combine outstanding shares of common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or take such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution of the selling stockholder's position. The selling stockholders have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert their convertible debentures or exercise their warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. APRIL 2004 In April 2004, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with two accredited investors for the sale of (i) $500,000 in convertible debentures and (ii) warrants to buy 3,000,000 shares of our common stock. In connection with this financing, we paid a fee in the amount of a convertible debentures in the amount of $50,000. 47 The debentures issued in connection with the April 2004 financing bear interest at 10%. The principal on the notes is due in equal monthly installments commencing on November 1, 2004 until October 1, 2005. On October 1, 2005, all principal and interest shall become due. In the event that our common stock has a closing price in excess of $.20 for the five days preceding the monthly payment, then, within our discretion, the monthly payment may be deferred. and the notes are convertible into our common stock at $0.10 per share. Based on this conversion price, the $500,000 convertible debentures, excluding interest, were convertible into 5,000,000 shares of our common stock. The selling stockholders have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert or exercise their warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. See the "Selling Stockholders" and "Risk Factors" sections for a complete description of the convertible debentures. SAMPLE CONVERSION CALCULATION The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures is determined by dividing that portion of the principal of the debenture to be converted and interest, if any, by the conversion price. For example, assuming conversion of $400,000 of debentures issued in November 2003 on April 30, 2004, a conversion price of $0.05 per share, the number of shares issuable upon conversion would be: $400,000/$.05 = 8,000,000 shares The following is an example of the amount of shares of our common stock that are issuable, upon conversion of our convertible debentures (excluding accrued interest), based on market prices 25%, 50% and 75% below $.05. Number % of % Below Price Per With Discount of Shares Outstanding Market Share at 25% Issuable Stock(1) ------ --------- ------------- ---------- ----------- 25% $.0375 $.0281 14,222,222 22.15% 50% $.0250 $.0188 21,333,333 29.91% 75% $.0125 $.0125 42,666,667 46.04% ________________________ (2) Based on 40,296,574 shares of common stock outstanding. As illustrated, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our convertible debentures will increase if the market price of our stock declines, which will cause dilution to our existing stockholders.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report for the year ended December 31, 2003. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered operating losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $30,523,188, a capital deficit of $3,577,985, negative working capital of $3,107,738 and is delinquent on certain of its debts at March 31, 2004. Further, the Company's auditors stated in their report on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to increase gross profit margins in its U.S. business and obtain additional financing and is in the process of repositioning its products with the anticipated launch of four new product lines in the second quarter 2004. While there is no assurance that funding will be available or that the Company will be able to improve its profit margins, the Company is continuing to actively seek equity and/or debt financing and has raised $1,350,000 in the fourth quarter 2003 and first quarter 2004. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in carrying out its plans. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes revenue in the United States at the gross amount of its invoices for the sale of finished product to wholesale buyers. Commencing with the first quarter 2004, the Company will no longer use the sale of "kits" as a revenue event in the United States. Rather, the Company will take title to its branded flavored milks when they are shipped by the Company's third party processors and recognize as revenue the gross wholesale price charged to the Company's wholesale customers. Expenses for slotting fees and certain promotions are treated as a reduction of reported revenue. The Company determines gross margin by deducting from the reported wholesale price the cost charged by the Company's third party processors to produce the branded milk products. The sale of "kits" will remain as the revenue model for the Company's international business F-7 The Company recognizes revenue for its international business at the gross amount of its invoices for the sale of flavor ingredients and production rights (collectively referred to as "kits") at the time of shipment of flavor ingredients to processor dairies with whom the Company has production contracts for extended shelf life and aseptic long life milk. This recognition is based upon the Company's role as the principal in these transactions, its discretion in establishing kit prices (including the price of flavor ingredients and production right fees), its development and refinement of flavors and flavor modifications, its discretion in supplier selection and its credit risk to pay for ingredients if processors do not pay ingredient suppliers. The revenue generated by the production contracts under this model is allocated for the processors' purchase of flavor ingredients and fees charged by the Company to the processors for production rights. The Company formulates the price of production rights to cover its royalties under intellectual property licenses, which varies by licensor as a percentage of the total cost of a kit sold to the processor dairy under the production agreement. The Company recognizes revenue on the gross amount of "kit" invoices to the dairy processors and simultaneously records as cost of goods sold the cost of flavor ingredients paid by the processor dairies to ingredients supplier. The recognition of revenue generated from the sale of production rights associated with the flavor ingredients is complete upon shipment of the ingredients to the processor, given the short utilization cycle of the ingredients shipped. The criteria to meet this guideline are: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, 2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, 3) the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and 4) collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company follows the final consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent". Pursuant to EITF 99-19, sales of kits made directly to customers by the Company are reflected in the statements of operations on a gross basis, whereby the total amount billed to the customer is recognized as revenue. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company has adopted the intrinsic value method of accounting for employee stock options as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123) and discloses the pro forma effect on net loss and loss per share as if the fair value based method had been applied. For equity instruments, including stock options, issued to non-employees, the fair value of the equity instruments or the fair value of the consideration received, whichever is more readily determinable, is used to determine the value of services or goods received and the corresponding charge to operations. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provision of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation.

NOTE 3 - ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTION OF SFAS 150 In May 2003, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity," was issued effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not result in the reclassification of any financial instruments in the Company's financial statements. F-10 ADOPTION OF SFAS 149 In April 2003, SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," was issued effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, with certain exceptions. This statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity." The Company does not currently engage in hedging activities, and the adoption of this statement did not have any effect on its financial statements.

FOODS INTERNATIONAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 - Organization, Businesses and Going Concern Uncertainty Bravo! Foods International Corp. (the Company), formerly known as China Premium Food Corporation, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 26, 1996. The Company is engaged in the sale of flavored milk products and flavor ingredients in the United States, Puerto Rico, the Middle East, Canada and Mexico and the co-production, marketing and distribution of branded dairy products in the People's Republic of China. In December 1999, the Company obtained Chinese government approval for the registration of China Premium Food Corp (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary, in the Wai Gao Qiao free trade zone in Shanghai, China. This subsidiary was formed to import, export and distribute food products and flavored milk ingredients on a wholesale level in China. The Company has announced that it plans to cease all business activities of this Chinese subsidiary in the second quarter 2004. GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered operating losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $29,548,471, a capital deficit of $3,719,291, negative working capital of $2,971,505 and is delinquent on certain of its debts at December 31, 2003. Further, the Company's auditors stated in their report on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to increase gross profit margins in its U.S. business and obtain additional financing and is in the process of repositioning its products with the anticipated launch of four new product lines in the second quarter 2004. While there is no assurance that funding will be available or that the Company will be able to improve its profit margins, the Company is continuing to actively seek equity and/or debt financing and has raised $1,350,000 in the fourth quarter 2003 and first quarter 2004. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in carrying out its plans. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bravo! Foods International Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary China Premium Food Corp (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (the "Company"). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSLATIONS Transaction gains and losses result from a change in exchange rates between the functional currency and the currency in which a foreign currency transaction is denominated. They represent an increase or decrease in (a) the actual functional current cash flows realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions and (b) the expected functional currency cash flows on unsettled foreign currency transactions. All transaction gains and losses are included in other income or expense. Assets and liabilities of China Premium Food Corp (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. are translated into the US dollar at the prevailing exchange rate in effect at each period end. Revenue and expenses are translated into the US dollar at the average exchange rate during the reporting period. Contributed capital is translated into the US dollar at the historical exchange rate when capital was injected. Any difference resulting from using the current rate, historical rate and average rate in determination of retained earnings is accounted for as a translation adjustment and reported as part of comprehensive income or loss in the equity section. F-22 USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Among the more significant estimates included in these financial statements are the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and the deferred income tax asset allowance. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amount of cash, receivables, accrued liabilities and notes payable are reasonable estimates of their fair value because of the short maturity of these items. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and accounts receivable. During the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its customers who are located in various geographical areas. Typically credit terms require payments to be made by the thirtieth day following the sale. The Company regularly evaluates and monitors the creditworthiness of each customer on a case-by-case basis. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its continuing evaluation of its customers' credit risk. As of December 31, 2003, the allowance of doubtful accounts aggregated $39,226. The Company maintains its cash accounts with high credit quality financial institutions. The FDIC insures total cash balances up to $100,000 per bank. Cash balances in any one financial institution were not in excess of this limit at December 31, 2003. INVENTORY Inventory, which consists primarily of packing materials and other flavor ingredients, is stated at the lower of cost on the first-in, first-out method or market. FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily utilizing the straight-line method over a period of seven years for furniture and five years for equipment. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to expenses as incurred. Additions and betterment to property and equipment are capitalized. When assets are disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation thereon are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statement of operations. F-23 IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS Effective January 1, 2002, the Company began applying the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144"). SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. During 2002, the Company determined that license rights in China having a net book value of $39,286 were impaired. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company sells flavor ingredients and production rights (collectively referred to as "kits") to processor dairies in the U.S., China, Canada and Mexico and also sells flavored milk products in the U.S. Revenue is recognized when the goods are shipped and title and the risk and reward of ownership have been passed to the customer and possible return of goods can be reasonably estimated. The criteria to meet this guideline are: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, 2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, 3) the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and 4) collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company follows the final consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent". Pursuant to EITF 99-19, sales of kits made directly to customers by the Company are reflected in the statement of operations on a gross basis, whereby the total amount billed to the customer is recognized as revenue. Sales of kits made through intermediaries, in which the Company's role is similar to that of an agent, are reflected on a net basis, which represents the amount earned by the Company in the transaction. The Company has production agreements with processors of dairy products pursuant to which the Company sells flavored milk products to retail stores (referred to as "unit sales"). The Company benefits from the difference between the prices charged by the dairy processor to produce the product for the Company and the price paid by retail stores to purchase the product. The Company bears the responsibility for paying food brokers fees, transportation and delivery expenses and sample expense, etc. The Company recognizes revenue on the net basis and recognizes the aforementioned expenses as selling expenses. SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company are included in selling expenses and aggregated $273,362 and $504,971 for 2002 and 2003, respectively. ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION COSTS Advertising and promotion costs, which are included in selling expenses, are expensed as incurred and aggregated $304,084 and $342,367 for 2002 and 2003, respectively. F-24 INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, which requires an entity to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets. Deferred income taxes are recognized based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. Further, the effects of enacted tax laws or rate changes are included as part of deferred tax expense or benefit in the period that covers the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, potential common shares arising from the Company's stock options, stock warrants and convertible preferred stock of 19,074,098 and 39,611,363, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect was antidilutive. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company has adopted the intrinsic value method of accounting for employee stock options as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123) and discloses the pro forma effect on net loss and loss per share as if the fair value based method had been applied. For equity instruments, including stock options, issued to non-employees, the fair value of the equity instruments or the fair value of the consideration received, whichever is more readily determinable, is used to determine the value of services or goods received and the corresponding charge to operations. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provision of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation. Year ending December 31, -------------------------------- 2002 2003 ------------- ------------ Net loss applicable to common shareholders: as reported $ (4,171,590) $ (3,919,455) Add: total stock based employee compensation expense determined under fair value method for all awards - - ------------- ------------ Pro forma net loss $ (4,171,590) $ (3,919,455) ------------- ------------ As reported $ (0.23) $ (0.15) Pro forma $ (0.23) $ (0.15) F-25 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ADOPTION OF SFAS 150 In May 2003, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity," was issued effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not result in the reclassification of any financial instruments in the Company's financial statements. ADOPTION OF SFAS 149 In April 2003, SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," was issued effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, with certain exceptions. This statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity." The Company does not currently engage in hedging activities, and the adoption of this statement did not have any effect on its financial statements. ADOPTION OF SFAS NO. 148 In December 2002, FASB issued Statement No. 148 (SFAS No. 148), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure -- an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS No. 148 is effective for the Company's financial statements for the year ending after December 15, 2002. As permitted by SFAS No. 148, the Company has elected to retain the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based awards granted to employees. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 148 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. ADOPTION OF SFAS NO. 146 In June 2002, FASB issued Statement No. 146 (SFAS No. 146), "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," effective for activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. F-26 ADOPTION OF SFAS NO. 143 In June 2001, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 143 (SFAS No. 143), "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Statement requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. ADOPTION OF FIN NO. 46 In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN No. 46), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements." FIN No. 46 explains how to identify variable interest entities and how an enterprise assesses its interest in a variable entity to decide whether to consolidate that entity. FIN No. 46 requires existing unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse risks among parties involved. FIN No. 46 is effective immediately for variable interest entities after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtained an interest after that date. FIN No. 46 applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The adoption of FIN No. 46 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position and result of operations. ADOPTION OF FIN NO. 45 In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN No. 45"), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." FIN No. 45 expands on the accounting guidance of Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and incorporates without change the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 34, which is being superseded. FIN No. 45 will affect leasing transactions involving residual guarantees, vendor and manufacturer guarantees and tax and environmental indemnities. All such guarantees will need to be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements starting with the period ending after December 15, 2002. For guarantees issued after December 31, 2002, the fair value of the obligation must be reported on the balance sheet. Existing guarantees will be grandfathered and will not be recognized on the balance sheet. There is no impact on our financial position and results of operations due to the application of FIN No. 45. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2003 presentation. F-27 NOTE 2 - FIXED ASSETS Fixed assets are comprised of the following: 2002 2003 Furniture and fixtures $ 79,841 $ 79,841 Office equipment 164,099 166,179 Leasehold improvements 21,321 21,321 265,261 267,341 Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization (175,659) (198,718) $89,602 $68,623 Depreciation and amortization expense aggregated $42,919 and $37,168 for 2002 and 2003, respectively. NOTE 3 - LICENSING AGREEMENTS WITH WARNER BROTHERS CONSUMER PRODUCTS CO. LICENSING AGREEMENT IN CHINA On January 1, 1999, the Company entered into a licensing agreement (the Original Agreement) with Warner Brothers Consumer Products Co. (Warner) for the right to utilize Looney Tunes(TM) images and names, as defined in the Agreement, on its products in Shanghai and Hangzhou, China. The Company agreed to pay a 3% royalty fee on the net invoiced price of each licensed article with a minimum guaranteed consideration of $300,000 of which $45,000 was paid at inception of the Agreement, and the balance to be paid in ten quarterly installments of $21,250 starting on September 30, 1999 with a final payment of $42,500 on or before March 31, 2002. The Company recorded license rights of $300,000 and amortized the rights over a period of three years. On November 21, 2000, the Company entered into an amendment of the Original Agreement with Warner. Per the amendment, the term of the agreement was extended to June 30, 2003 with the guaranteed consideration being increased to $400,000. The Original Agreement, as amended, was extended to October 29, 2003, at which time it expired. As of December 31, 2003, the outstanding obligation under this agreement was $147,116. The Company decided not to seek another license from Warner Bros. for China beyond the October 2003 expiration based upon the lack of sales in the Company's China markets and what the Company perceived to be the licensor's continuing overall lack of brand support in China. The Company and Warner Bros. dispute the contractual necessity of the payment of the balance owed on the China license as a result of the above circumstances. As of December 31, 2003, the Company reserved $152,448 for this obligation, representing the $147,116 balance of guaranteed royalties plus $5,332 for the legally allowed default penalty. LICENSING AGREEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES On July 26, 2000, the Company entered into a license agreement with Warner Bros. and obtained rights to utilize Looney Tunes(TM) character images and names in the U.S. in connection with specified categories of products sold by Bravo!. The license agreement was originally effective from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2002. In April 2002, the Company and Warner Bros. reached an agreement to extend this license agreement until December 31, 2003. The Company recorded the gross amount of $500,000 as licensing costs and an obligation for the licensing agreement of $500,000 simultaneously. F-28 In May 2002, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Warner to utilize licensed property in connection with the 2002 Taz Atti-Tour events for the period March 13, 2002 to December 31, 2002. The Company recorded a non-refundable minimum guaranteed payment of $250,000. The guaranteed payment was amortized over the term of the license agreement.

At December 31, 2002, $83,333 was due for payment under the terms of the agreement, which was paid on February 26, 2003. The history of the Company with Warner Bros. licenses, as a function of sales of the flavored milks, has not supported the guaranteed royalty structure required by Warner Bros. for its licenses. As a result, the Company decided to exploit its own Slammers(R) brand, which has been developed in 2003, and commenced negotiations for licenses with Marvel Comics and Moon Pie. For these reasons, the Company decided not to accept the offer of Warner Bros. to renew the U.S. license. LICENSING AGREEMENT IN MEXICO In September 2001, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Warner for the right to utilize Looney Tunes(TM) character images and names, as defined in the agreement, on its products sold in Mexico.

Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 2003 was $48,333 for each year. As of December 31, 2003, no outstanding obligation remained under this agreement. Based upon the Company's analysis of the cost of this license as a function of sales of the flavored milks, the Mexico license will not by renewed by the Company. LICENSING AGREEMENT IN CANADA In May 2002, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Warner to utilize Looney Tunes(TM) characters and names on milk products sold in specified retail outlets throughout Canada, for the period March 1, 2002 to March 31, 2004.

NOTE 4 - DEFAULT OF NOTE PAYABLE TO INTERNATIONAL PAPER In 1999, the Company issued a promissory note to assume existing debt owed by its then Chinese joint venture subsidiary to a supplier, International Paper. The face value of that unsecured note was $282,637 at an interest rate of 10.5% per annum. The note originally required 23 monthly payments of $7,250 and a balloon payment of $159,862 due on July 15, 2000. During 2000, the Company negotiated an extension of this note to July 1, 2001.

The Company has not accrued interest as of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003.

In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that the assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable loss and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax items are recognizable for tax reporting purposes, it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these differences at December 31, 2002 and 2003. As such, management has recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of deferred tax assets at December 31, 2002 and 2003. At December 31, 2003, the Company has available net operating losses of approximately $17.7 million for federal income tax purposes, to offset future taxable income, if any, which will expire at various dates through the year 2022 for federal income tax purposes. The utilization of net operating losses, however, may be subject to certain limitations as prescribed by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages for breach of such director's or officer's fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, is to eliminate our right and our shareholders (through shareholders' derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in its Articles of Incorporation, as amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. ITEM 25. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION. The following table sets forth an itemization of all estimated expenses, all of which we will pay, in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered: NATURE OF EXPENSE AMOUNT SEC Registration fee $ 2,071.99 Accounting fees and expenses 10,000.00* Legal fees and expenses 35,000.00* Miscellaneous 5,000.00 ---------- TOTAL $52,071.99* ========== * Estimated.

UNDERTAKINGS. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to: (1) File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to: (i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"); II-15 (ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement, and (iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution. (2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering. (3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering. (4) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. (5) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. SIGNATURES In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements of filing on Form SB-2 and authorizes this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, in the City of North Palm Beach, State of Florida, on July 27, 2004.
