PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary highlights selected information contained in this
prospectus. 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 dairies 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 $79,528,653 for the year ended December 31, 2005
and a net loss of $11,517,620 for the year ended December 31, 2004. In addition,
we had a net loss of $15,203,188 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. We have
suffered operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since
inception and, at December 31, 2005, 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.

To obtain funding for our ongoing operations, we entered into the
following financing transaction:
On November 28, 2005, we closed a funding transaction with 13 accredited
institutional investors, for the issuance and sale of 40,500,000 shares of our
common stock for a purchase price of $20,250,000. We also issued five-year
warrants for the purchase of an additional 15,187,500 shares of common stock at
an exercise price of $0.80 per share to these investors. In connection with this
financing, we issued a five-year common stock purchase warrant to purchase of
1,012,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 and 304,688
shares at an exercise price of $0.80 to SG Cowen & Co., LLC, for its services as
a Placement Agent in connection with this funding transaction. The securities
are restricted and have been issued pursuant to an exemption to the registration
requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 for "transactions of the
issuer not involving any public offering" provided in Section 4(2) of the Act
and pursuant to a Regulation D offering.
The shares of common stock and the shares of common stock underlying the
warrants carry registration rights that obligate us to file a registration
statement within 45 days from closing and have the registration statement
declared effective within 120 days from closing.
In connection with an intellectual property licenses, we entered into the
following:
On June 20, 2005, we issued a one year warrant for the purchase of
1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share to
Marvel Enterprises, Inc., pursuant to an April 14, 2005 Services Agreement for
marketing, promotional and creative services to be performed by Marvel
Enterprises, Inc. in connection with an intellectual property license between
our company and Marvel Enterprises, Inc.
This prospectus relates to the resale of the shares of common stock and
the shares of common stock issued or to be issued upon exercise of common stock
purchase warrants in connection with the November 28, 2005 private placement and
the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of common stock purchase
warrants issued in connection with the April 14, 2005 Services Agreement.

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.
Our new product introduction and growth expansion continue to be
expensive, and we reported a net loss of $79,528,653 for the year ended December
31, 2005 and a net loss of $11,517,620 for the year ended December 31, 2004. In
addition, we had a net loss of $15,203,188 for the six months ended June 30,
2006. 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. While we closed
on $20,250,000 in new equity financing in November 2005, after the payment of
approximately $1.5 million in fees and expenses, we have allocated approximately
$1.7 million of the net proceeds for the payment of a finders fee in connection
with our execution of a Master Distribution Agreement with Coca-Cola Enterprises
Inc. and approximately $5.4 million for the redemption of approximately 30.3
million warrants, and have allocated approximately $11.7 million for general
working expenses. In addition, in August 2006, we completed a $30.0 million
convertible note financing that is expected to fulfill our liquidity
requirements through the end of 2006. However, $15.0 million of this financing
is held in escrow, and there can be no assurance that the investors will release
these amounts. We have entered into an Amendment Agreement with the holders of
the convertible notes to amend the convertible notes in certain respects as
consideration for the holders' release of our default resulting from our delay
in the filing of the our quarterly report for the period ended June 30, 2006.
There can be no assurance that these financings will be adequate for the
development and marketing of our services and products at a level that provides
sufficient profitability for sustained growth. If the present funds prove
sufficient and we are unable to generate adequate funds from operations or
external sources, we would be required to curtail or cease operations.
If We Are Unable to Achieve and Sustain Profitability, Our Business Operations
Will be Harmed and If We Obtain Additional Financing Our Then Existing
Shareholders May Suffer Substantial Dilution.
Additional capital may 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.
4
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 February 9, 2006, except for Note 13 as to which the
date is September 8, 2006, our independent auditors stated that our financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 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, 2005
in the amount of $79,528,653 as well as a significant working capital deficiency
as of that date. 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 increase 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.
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 Convertible Preferred and Convertible Debenture 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 October 5, 2006, we had 195,018,001 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding and convertible debentures outstanding that may be converted into an
estimated 7,500,000 shares of common stock at below market prices, convertible
prefered outstanding that may be converted into an estimated 31,400,000 shares
of common stock at below market prices outstanding warrants to purchase an
estimated 40,100,000 shares of common stock and options to purchase
approximately 8,600,000 shares of common stock. All of the shares, including all
of the shares issuable upon conversion of the debentures and upon exercise of
our warrants, may be sold pursuant to a currently effective registration
statement or pursuant to Rule 144. The sale of these shares may adversely affect
the market price of our common stock.
5
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 debenture holders 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
debenture holders could sell more than this limit while never holding more than
this limit.
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, April 2004, June 2004, October 2004, December 2004,
January 2005, April 2005, and July 2006, we entered into financing arrangements
for the sale of $35,750,000 principal amount of convertible debentures.
Currently, the remaining unpaid principal of the issued notes is $30,350,000,
with approximately $131,312 in accrued interest.
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 majority 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 working capital or 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 may require us to obtain
additional financing or curtail 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.
6
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.
7
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 receive proceeds from the exercise of the Class A, Class B Warrants and
other warrants, we will use these funds for working capital.

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 Company
owned Slammers(R) and Bravo!(TM) trademarked brands, the obtaining of license
rights from third party holders of intellectual property rights to other
trademarked brands, logos and characters and the production of our branded
flavored milk drinks through third party processors. In the United States and
the United Kingdom, we generate revenue from the unit sales of finished branded
flavored milk drinks to retail consumer outlets. We generate revenue in our
Middle East business 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
dairy processors for the production, promotion and sales rights for the branded
flavored milk.
Our business in the United Kingdom started at the end of the second
quarter of 2005. Our UK business has not been profitable owing to the
difficulties encountered in initial market penetration with new products
introduced in the last half of 2005 through the first half of 2006. In the
current period we had a negative gross margin for our UK operations. We are
examining other distribution alternatives in the UK and, while we are making
this determination, we have curtailed our production of inventory necessary to
maintain a normal supply pipeline.
Our new product introduction and growth expansion continues to be expensive, and
we reported a loss from operations of $9,563,041 for the period ended June 30,
2006. We had a net loss during this period of $15,203,188, largely as a result
of a penalty interest expense of $4.6 million associated with our failure to
have declared effective a registration statement for the common stock underlying
our November 2005 financing in a timely manner. That registration statement
currently is pending, and we are working to restate and file the necessary
financial statements required to have that registration statement declared
effective.
RESTATEMENT DISCLOSURE
We have restated our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 2005 and our quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB for the quarterly
periods ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. We have also restated the
quarterly and year-to-date results for June 30, 2005 in the accompanying
financial presentations for comparative purposes. Notwithstanding these
restatements, the SEC may have further comments on our financial information
based on the restated financial results that we have filed. The possibility
exists that we may be required to adjust and further modify our proposed
restated financial results for the periods in question. Such adjustments and
modifications, if any, may have a material effect on the financial results set
forth in this report.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Board of Directors
Our board has positions for seven directors that are elected as Class A or
Class B directors at alternate annual meetings of our shareholders. Six of the
seven current directors of our board are independent. Our chairman and chief
executive officer are separate. The board meets regularly either in person or by
telephonic conference 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
Accounting Officer. Our shareholders elect directors after nomination by the
board, or the board appoints directors 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.
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 recorded in house by our Chief
Accounting Officer's office, from which we prepare financial reports. Lazar
Levine & Felix LLP, independent registered public accountants and auditors,
audit or review these financial reports. Our Chief Accounting 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 Accounting Officer. The committee
reviews significant changes in accounting policies and addresses issues and
recommendations presented by our internal accountants as well as our auditors.
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, the board periodically reviews all such employment contracts. 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 for interim reports
that are generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 our financial
statements are the following:
o Estimating future bad debts on accounts receivable that
are carried at net realizable values.
o Estimating our reserve for unsalable and obsolete
inventories that are carried at lower of cost or market.
o Estimating the fair value of our financial instruments
that are required to be carried at fair value.
o Estimating the recoverability of our long-lived assets.
We use all available information and appropriate techniques to develop our
estimates. However, actual results could differ from our estimates.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
Our revenues are derived from the sale of branded milk products to
customers in the United States of America, Great Britain and the Middle East.
Geographically, our revenues are dispersed 98% and 2% between the United States
of America and internationally, respectively. We currently have one customer in
the United States that provided 74% and 0% of our revenue during the six months
ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Revenues are recognized pursuant to formal revenue arrangements with our
customers, at contracted prices, when our product is delivered to their premises
and collectibility is reasonably assured. We extend merchantability warranties
to our customers on our products but otherwise do not afford our customers with
rights of return. Warranty costs have historically been insignificant.
Our revenue arrangements often provide for industry-standard slotting fees
where we make cash payments to the respective customer to obtain rights to place
our products on their retail shelves for stipulated period of time. We also
engage in other promotional discount programs in order to enhance our sales
activities. We believe our participation in these arrangements is essential to
ensuring continued volume and revenue growth in the competitive marketplace.
These payments, discounts and allowances are recorded as reductions to our
reported revenue. Unamortized slotting fees are recorded in prepaid expenses.
Our accounts receivable are exposed to credit risk. During the normal
course of business, we extend unsecured credit to our customers with normal and
traditional trade terms. Typically credit terms require payments to be made by
the thirtieth day following the sale. We regularly evaluate and monitor the
creditworthiness of each customer. We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts
based on our continuing evaluation of our customers' credit risk and our overall
collection history. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the allowance of
doubtful accounts aggregated $365,000 and $350,000, respectively.
In addition, our accounts receivable are concentrated with one customer
who represents 39% of our accounts receivable balances at June 30, 2006.
Approximately, 6% of our accounts receivable at June 30, 2006 are due from
international customers.
Inventories
Our inventories, which consists primarily of finished goods, are stated at
the lower of cost on the first in, first-out method or market. Further, our
inventories are perishable. Accordingly, we estimate and record lower-of-cost or
market and unsalable-inventory reserves based upon a combination of our
historical experience and on a specific identification basis.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Our long-lived assets consist of furniture and equipment and intangible
assets. We evaluate the carrying value and recoverability of our long-lived
assets when circumstances warrant such evaluation by applying the provisions of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets ("FAS 144"). FAS 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.
12
Financial Instruments
We generally do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge
exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, we frequently
enter into certain other financial instruments and contracts, such as debt
financing arrangements, redeemable preferred stock arrangements, and
freestanding warrants with features that are either (i) not afforded equity
classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host
contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. As required by
FAS 133, these instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities,
at fair value, in our financial statements.
We estimate fair values of derivative financial instruments using various
techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered to be consistent with
the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, we
consider, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks
that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex
derivative instruments, such as freestanding warrants, we generally use the
Black Scholes option valuation technique because it embodies all of the
requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms and risk
free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. For complex derivative
instruments, such as embedded conversion options, we generally use the Flexible
Monte Carlo valuation technique because it embodies all of the requisite
assumptions (including credit risk, interest-rate risk and exercise/conversion
behaviors) that are necessary to fair value these more complex instruments. For
forward contracts that contingently require net-cash settlement as the principal
means of settlement, we project and discount future cash flows applying
probability-weightage to multiple possible outcomes. Estimating fair values of
derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and
subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of
the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In
addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes
in our trading market price which has a high-historical volatility. Since
derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair
values, our income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption
changes.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2005
Consolidated Revenues
We had revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2006 of $7,266,441, with
product costs of $6,200,097, and shipping costs of $744,636, resulting in a
gross margin of $321,708. Our reported revenues for the six months ended June
30, 2006 increased by $3,920,053, or 117%, compared to revenues of $3,346,388
for the comparable period in 2005. This increase is the result of an increase in
market penetration and distribution, owing to the continued implementation of
our Master Distribution Agreement with Coca-Cola Enterprises in the first half
of 2006. Revenues and gross margin are net of slotting fees and promotional
discounts for the six months ended June 30, 2006 in the amount of $294,332
compared to $187,295 for the comparable period in the prior year.
Geographically, our revenues are dispersed 98% and 2% between the United
States of America and internationally, respectively. We plan to take measures to
increase our international revenues as a percentage of our total revenues. In
addition, we currently have one customer in the United States that provided 74%
and 0% of our revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. The loss of this customer or curtailment in business with this
customer could have a material adverse affect on our business.
13
Consolidated Product Costs
We incurred product costs and shipping costs of $6,200,097 and $744,636,
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Product costs in this
period increased by $3,841,970, a 163% increase compared to $2,358,127 for the
same period in 2005. Shipping costs in this period increased $313,800, a 73%
increase compared to $430,836 for the same period in 2005. The increase in
product costs reflects an increase in revenues and the concomitant increase in
reported product costs and shipping costs associated with that increase.
Consolidated Operating Expenses
We incurred selling expenses of $6,210,909 for the six months ended June
30, 2006. Our selling expenses for this period increased by $4,690,329, a 308%
increase compared to our selling expenses of $1,520,580 for the same period in
2005. The increase in selling expenses in the current period was due to the
hiring of additional sales staff and promotional charges associated with
increased revenues and our development of four new product lines.
We incurred general and administrative expense for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 of $3,396,521. Our general and administrative expense for this
period increased by $801,443, a 31% increase compared to $2,595,078 for the same
period in 2005. As a percentage of total revenue, our general and administrative
expense decreased from 77.5% in the period ended June 30, 2005, to 47% for the
current period in 2006. We anticipate a continued effort to reduce this expense
as a percentage of revenues through revenue growth, cost cutting efforts and the
refinement of business operations. The increase in general and administrative
expense for the current period is the result of the hiring of additional staff
and other costs associated with the management and implementation of our
relationship with Coca-Cola Enterprises under the Master Distribution Agreement.
We incurred product development expense for the six months ended June 30,
2006 of $277,319 representing a 28.5% increase over product development expense
for the comparable period of the prior year. This increase resulted from the
reformulation of existing products and the development of new products under our
license agreement with General Mills.
Interest Expense
We incurred interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 of
$431,261. Our interest expense decreased by $1,060,629, a 71% decrease compared
to $1,491,890 for the same period in 2005. The decrease was due to conversions
of debt to common stock in late 2005 that eliminated the accrual of interest
associated with that debt.
Legal Settlement
In June 2005, we issued Marvel Enterprises a warrant to purchase 1,000,000
shares of our common stock in connection with the grant of a trademark license
by Marvel to the Company. The warrant contained an expiration date of June 16,
2006. In connection with the issuance of the warrant, we executed a registration
rights agreement with Marvel that required us to use our reasonable best efforts
to cause the effectiveness of a registration statement, under the Securities Act
of 1933, for the resale by Marvel of the shares purchasable under the warrant.
In December 2005, the Company filed a registration statement under From SB-2
that included the common stock underlying the Marvel warrant. As of March 31,
2006, however, the Registration Statement had not been declared effective. In
the second quarter of 2006, Marvel filed a complaint against the Company,
alleging that Marvel had been damaged by our failure to cause a registration
statement to become effective. On June 7, 2006, we settled the lawsuit, without
the necessity of filing an answer to the complaint, by delivering to Marvel an
amendment to the Warrant extending its term through June 16, 2007, and Marvel
dismissed its complaint.
Gain (loss) on Debt Extinguishment
We reported a gain on debt extinguishments for the six months ended June
30, 2005 of $7,164, resulting from the modification of the terms of certain
notes.
Derivative Expense
Derivative expense arises from changes in the fair value of our derivative
financial instruments and, in rare instances, day-one losses when the fair value
of embedded and freestanding derivative financial instruments issued or included
in financing transactions exceed the proceeds or other basis. Derivative
financial instruments include freestanding warrants, compound embedded
derivative features that have been bifurcated from debt and preferred stock
financings. In addition, our derivative financial instruments arise from the
reclassification of other non-financing derivative and other contracts from
stockholders' equity because share settlement is not within our control while
certain variable share price indexed financing instruments are outstanding.
14
Our derivative expense amounted to $98,011 for the six months ended June
30, 2006, compared to $75,839,650 for the corresponding period of the prior
year.
Changes in the fair value of compound derivatives indexed to our common
stock are significantly affected by changes in our trading stock price and the
credit risk associated with our financial instruments. The fair value of warrant
derivatives is significantly affected by changes in our trading stock prices.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments that are settled solely with
cash fluctuate with changes in management's weighted probability estimates
following the financing inception and are generally attributable to the
increasing probability of default events on debt and preferred stock financings.
The fair value of the warrants declined principally due to the decline in our
common stock trading price. Since these instruments are measured at fair value,
future changes in assumptions, arising from both internal factors and general
market conditions, may cause further variation in the fair value of these
instruments. Future changes in these underlying internal and external market
conditions will have a continuing effect on derivative expense associated with
our derivative financial instruments.
In addition, we entered into a $30 million debt and warrant financing in
July 2006 that will require the bifurcation of derivative financial instruments.
We have not calculated the amounts of these derivatives, but their effects on
our earnings, arising from fair value changes, will be consistent with the
derivatives that we carry as of June 30, 2006.
Liquidated Damages
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded liquidated
damages expense of $3,872,388 and $4,558,275; none in the comparable periods of
2005. However, we recorded $303,750 of liquidated damages during the fourth
fiscal quarter of our year ended December 31, 2005. We have entered into
registration rights agreements with certain investors that require us to file a
registration statement covering underlying indexed shares, become effective on
the registration statement, maintain effectiveness, and, in some instances,
maintain the listing of the underlying shares. Certain of these registration
rights agreements require our payment of cash penalties to the investors in the
event we do not achieve the requirements. We record estimated liquidated damages
penalties as liabilities and charges to our income when the cash penalties are
probable and estimable. We will evaluate our estimate of liquidated damages in
future periods and adjust our estimates for changes, if any, in the facts and
circumstances underlying their classification.
Net Loss
We had a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2006 of $15,203,188
compared with a net loss of $81,098,366 for the same period in 2005. The
magnitude of both the 2006 and 2005 net loss is the result of our recording
changes in derivative expense on the consolidated statement of operations.
Loss Applicable to Common Shareholders
Loss applicable to common shareholders represents net loss less preferred
stock dividends and accretion of our redeemable preferred stock to redemption
value using the effective method. Diluted loss per common share reflects the
assumed conversion of all dilutive securities, such as convertible preferred
stock, convertible debt, warrants, and employee stock options.
Loss per Common Share
Our basic loss per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was
$(0.08), compared with a basic loss per common share for the same period in 2005
of $(1.24). Because the Company experienced net losses for all periods
presented, all potential common share conversions existing in our financial
instruments would have an antidilutive impact on earnings per share; therefore,
diluted loss per common share equals basic loss per common share for all periods
presented.
15
The weighted average common shares outstanding increased from 66,035,224
for the six months ended June 30, 2005 to 186,843,409 for the same period in
2006. The increase is attributed primarily to conversions of our convertible
debt and preferred instruments into common shares. Potential common stock
conversions excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share amounted
to 61,178,096 and 104,564,021 for the six month periods ending June 30, 2006 and
June 30, 2005, respectively.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) differs from net income (loss) for the six months
ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 by $21,439 and ($5,327), respectively, which
represents the effects of foreign currency translation on the financial
statements of our subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies. Our foreign
operations are currently not significant. Increases in our foreign operations
will likely increase the effects of foreign currency translation adjustments on
our financial statements.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30,
2005
Consolidated Revenues
The Company had revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006 of
$3,705,226, with product costs of $3,253,637 and shipping costs of $351,185,
resulting in a gross margin of $100,404, or 2.7 % of sales. Our revenues for the
three months ended June 30, 2006 increased by $1,256,608, a 51% increase
compared to revenues of $2,448,618 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The
increase in revenue in the United States for the three months ended June 30,
2006 is the result of the increased distribution of our product through
Coca-Cola Enterprises.
Consolidated Product Costs
The Company incurred product costs of $3,253,637 and shipping costs of
$351,185 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Product costs for this period
increased by $1,573,173, a 93.6% increase compared to $1,680,464 for the three
months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in product costs and shipping costs in
the United States for the three months ended June 30, 2006 is the result of
increased revenues.
Consolidated Operating Expenses
The Company incurred selling expenses for the three months ended June 30,
2006 of $3,367,811. Selling expenses increased for the three months ended June
30, 2006 by $2,332,262, a 225% increase compared to the selling expenses of
$1,035,549 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in selling
expenses is the result of increased sales.
The Company incurred general and administrative expenses for the three
months ended June 30, 2006 of $1,628,317. General and administrative expenses
for the three months ended June 30, 2006 decreased by $208,507, an 11.3%
decrease compared to $1,836,824 for the same period in 2005. The decrease in
general and administrative expenses for the current period is the result of the
recognition of warrant costs recognized in 2005 for warrants granted to an
investor relations firm.
Interest Expense
The Company incurred interest expense for the three months ended June 30,
2006 of $397,254. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006
decreased by $200,475, a 33.5% decrease compared to $597,729, for the same
period in 2005. This decrease was the result of conversions of debt to common
stock in late 2005 that eliminated the accrual of interest associated with that
debt.
16
Liquidated Damages
During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded liquidated damages
expense of $3,872,388; none in the comparable period of 2005. However, we
recorded $303,750 of liquidated damages during the fourth fiscal quarter of our
year ended December 31, 2005. We have entered into registration rights
agreements with certain investors that require us to file a registration
statement covering underlying indexed shares, become effective on the
registration statement, maintain effectiveness, and, in some instances, maintain
the listing of the underlying shares. Certain of these registration rights
agreements require our payment of cash penalties to the investors in the event
we do not achieve the requirements. We record estimated liquidated damages
penalties as liabilities and charges to our income when the cash penalties are
probable and estimable. We will evaluate our estimate of liquidated damages in
future periods and adjust our estimates for changes, if any, in the facts and
circumstances underlying their classification.
Net Loss
We had had a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2005 of
$14,926,521, compared with a net loss of $80,445,296 for the same period in
2005. The magnitude of the 2006 and 2005 loss is the result of our recording
changes in the fair value in our derivatives.
Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2004
Consolidated Revenues
We reported revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 of $11,948,921, an
increase of $8,604,222, or 257%, compared to revenues of $3,344,699 in 2004.
This increase is the result of the acquisition of a significant new customer
("Coca Cola Enterprises" or "CCE") during the third fiscal quarter with sales
generation commencing in the fourth fiscal quarter. Our revenues to CCE for the
year ended December 31, 2005 comprise 34% of our total revenue. CCE will
continue to be a significant customer in the foreseeable future. Since we
commenced revenue generation with CCE in the fourth fiscal quarter, in future
periods we expect that our revenues from sales to CCE will increase as a
percentage of our total revenues.
Our revenues and gross margin are net of industry-standard slotting fees and
promotional discounts for the year ended December 31, 2005 in the amount of
$487,221 compared to $204,755 in 2004. We record these programs as reductions in
our revenues and we may enter into similar programs in future periods to
increase our market penetration.
Geographically, during the 2005 fiscal year, our revenues are dispersed 98% and
2% between the United States of America and internationally, respectively. While
our current international revenues have not been significant, we are taking
measures to further penetrate international markets and increase our
international revenues as a percentage of our total revenues.
Consolidated Product and Shipping Costs
We incurred product costs and shipping costs of $8,938,692 and $1,505,035,
respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2005. Product costs in 2005
increased by $6,563,887, a 276% increase compared to $2,374,805 in 2004.
Shipping costs in 2005 increased $1,006,722, or 202%, compared to $498,313 in
2004. The increase in product costs reflects an increase in revenues and the
concomitant increase in reported product and shipping costs associated with that
increase. Our overall gross margin for 2005 of 12.6% decreased slightly from our
14.0% gross margin in 2004 due to slightly higher production costs that were not
offset with reciprocal pricing increases due to competitive constraint.
17
Consolidated Operating Expenses
Selling Expense:
We incurred selling expense of $7,464,876 during the year ended December 31,
2005. We expense these costs, consisting largely of advertising and promotion,
as they are incurred. Our selling expense for this period increased by
$6,164,203, a 474% increase compared to our selling expenses of $1,300,673 for
the same period in 2004. The increase in selling expense in the current period
was due to higher advertising expenses as we penetrate new markets and, to a
lesser degree, the hiring of additional sales staff. In addition, in connection
with the acquisition of our new customer, CCE during 2005, we entered into a
commitment to spend an aggregate of $5,000,000 for advertising and promotion of
our products during the years ended 2005 and 2006. Thereafter, we have agreed to
spend an aggregate annual amount of 3% of our total CCE revenue for advertising
programs. Generally, since our revenue producing activities with CCE did not
commence until November of 2005, we did not incur a significant amount of
expense under this commitment. Accordingly, our selling expenses can be expected
to increase during 2006 and 2007 as we fulfill our obligations under these
important arrangements and we continue to address additional markets.
Product Development Expense:
We incurred product development expense for the years ended December 31, 2005 of
$636,342, representing a 209% increase over product development expense in 2004.
Additional expenditures were incurred in 2005 due to the launching of our
Slammers Starburst line of Fruit & Cream Smoothies, and to package redesign
costs associated with several of our product lines including Slim Slammers, Pro
Slammers and Breakfast Blenders.
General and Administrative Expense:
Our general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 was
$7,263,284, an increase of $4,586,223 compared to $2,677,061 in 2004. The
increase is the result of additional payroll, increased occupancy costs, office
overhead costs and travel necessary to support the increase in revenues. As a
percentage of total revenue, our general and administrative expense decreased
from 80% in 2004, to 61% for 2005. We anticipate a continued effort to reduce
these expenses as a percentage of sales through revenue growth, certain cost
cutting efforts and the refinement of business operations. Non-Recurring
Finders' Fee:
We recorded a $3,000,000 one time, non-recurring finder's fee in connection with
our execution of the Master Distribution Agreement with CCE in 2005. We do not
currently anticipate incurring similar costs during 2006 or in the foreseeable
future since our business opportunity with CCE is expected to be further
developed over that period.
Consolidated Other Income (Expense)
Derivative Expense
Our derivative expense amounted to $60,823,574 for the year ended December 31
2005, compared to $6,309,933 in 2004. Derivative expense (and in some instances
income) arises from changes in the fair value of our derivative financial
instruments and, in rare instances, day-one losses when the fair value of
embedded and freestanding derivative financial instruments issued or included in
financing transactions exceed the proceeds or other basis. Derivative financial
instruments include freestanding warrants, compound embedded derivative features
that have been bifurcated from debt and preferred stock financings. In addition,
our derivative financial instruments arise from the reclassification of other
non-financing derivative and other contracts from stockholders' equity because
share settlement is not within our control while certain variable share price
indexed financing instruments are outstanding.
Our derivative loss during each of the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 is
significant to our consolidated financial statements. The magnitude of the
derivative loss during the year ended December 31, 2005 when compared with the
loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 reflects the following:
(a) During the year ended December 31, 2005, and specifically commencing in the
second quarter, the trading price of our common stock reached significantly high
levels relative to its trend. The trading price of our common stock
significantly affects the fair value of our derivative financial instruments. To
illustrate, our trading stock price at the end of the first quarter of 2005 was
$0.15 and then increased to $0.93 by the end of the second quarter. Our trading
stock price then declined to $0.61 and $0.59 at the end of the third and fourth
quarters, respectively. However, the higher stock price had the effect of
significantly increasing the fair value of our derivative liabilities and,
accordingly, we were required to adjust the derivatives to these higher values
with charges to our income. Also, due to the higher stock price commencing in
the second quarter, we experienced significant exercise and conversion activity
related to our derivative warrants and, to a lesser degree, with respect to the
embedded conversion options. Accordingly, our year end derivative liability
balances reflect, among other elements of our valuation assumptions, the higher
intrinsic values of the arrangements caused by the significant changes in our
stock price, which are offset by a smaller number of common shares indexed to
outstanding warrants due to the extraordinary level of exercise activity.
18
(b) During the year ended December 31, 2005, we entered into a $2,300,000 debt
and warrant financing arrangement, more fully discussed in Note 6(b). In
connection with our accounting for this financing we encountered the unusual
circumstance of a day-one loss related to the recognition of derivative
instruments arising from the arrangement. That means that the fair value of the
bifurcated compound derivative and warrants exceeded the proceeds that we
received from the arrangement and we were required to record a loss to record
the derivative financial instruments at fair value. The loss that we recorded
amounted to $8,663,869. We did not enter into any other financing arrangements
during the periods reported that reflected day-one losses.
Because our derivative financial instruments are carried at, and periodically
adjusted to, fair value, our income is likely to experience continuing
volatility as assumptions underlying our fair value techniques (including
internal factors and external market indicators) change. However, we are
currently evaluating contracts underlying the origination of these derivative
financial instruments to determine whether they may be modified with the
investor. There can be no assurance that we can reach an agreement to modify
these arrangements and, if we are able to execute such modifications, we would
be required to consider whether such modification(s) is significant. In
instances where modifications are considered significant, we may be required to
extinguish the original financial instrument and reestablish it at fair value.
These extinguishments, if any, would likely be accompanied with extinguishment
gains or losses that we would be required to reflect in our income.
Finally, we entered into a $30.0 million debt and warrant financing in July 2006
(see "Material Events" below) that will likely require the bifurcation of
additional derivative financial instruments. We have not yet calculated the
amounts of these derivatives, but their effects on our income, arising from fair
value changes, will be afforded the same accounting treatment as those that we
currently carry.
Liquidated Damages
During the year ended December 31, 2005, we recorded liquidated damages expense
of $303,750 (none in 2004). We have entered into registration rights agreements
with certain investors that require us to file a registration statement covering
underlying indexed shares, become effective on the registration statement,
maintain effectiveness and, in some instances, maintain the listing of the
underlying shares. Certain of these registration rights agreements require our
payment of cash penalties to the investors in the event we do not achieve the
requirements. We record estimated liquidated damages as liabilities and charges
to our income when the cash penalties are probable and estimable. We will
evaluate our estimate of liquidated damages in future periods and adjust our
estimates for changes, if any, in the facts and circumstances underlying their
calculation, pursuant to Financial Accounting Standard No. 5, Accounting for
Contingencies.
Interest Expense
We incurred interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 of $1,667,294.
Our interest expense increased by $231,889, a 16% increase compared to
$1,435,405 in 2004. The increase was due to the effects of application of the
effective interest method where an effective interest amount, as calculated at
the inception of the debt is applied to the carrying value at the end of each
period. Under this method, periodic interest charges increases over the debt
term as the debt carrying value increases.
Other expense
Other expense consists of debt extinguishment losses and (gains). These amounts
arose from certain modifications that we made to our debt arrangements that
required our re-measurement of the carrying value to fair value because the
modification was significant. We may modify other debt arrangements as discussed
under the discussion related to our derivative financial instruments. Each
modification will require a determination whether an extinguishment occurred
and, if so, an extinguishment gain or loss may require recognition.
19
Subsequent to our year ended December 31, 2005, we began to incur penalties
related to a financing arrangement that required us to, among other things,
become effective on a registration statement. We have not become effective on
the registration statement. As of June 30, 2006, we incurred in excess of $2.1
million of penalties under this arrangement, and we paid these amounts beginning
in the third fiscal quarter of our year ending December 31, 2006. Our other
expense in future periods will reflect charges related to these penalties, and
such penalties will continue until the events that give rise to the penalties
are cured. In the event that we cure the default events that give rise to the
penalties, certain default provisions will continue, such as maintaining
effectiveness, that could give rise to additional penalties.
Consolidated Net Loss
We had a net loss for the year ended December 31 2005 of $79,528,653 compared
with a net loss of $11,517,620 in 2004. There were a number of factors that gave
rise to our losses in 2005 and 2004. First, we are currently expending funds in
developing our administrative and operating infrastructure and our sales
channels and, as a result, our current revenue volume has not been sufficient to
offset our operating expenses resulting in an operating loss during the years
ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. We anticipate that our operating expenses as a
percentage of our sales will decrease in future periods as our revenues increase
and our costs level. In addition, we incurred a one-time $3,000,000 fee during
the year ended December 31, 2005 related to the acquisition of our customer,
CCE. We do not currently anticipate incurring similar costs in the foreseeable
future. Finally, the overall magnitude of both the 2005 and 2004 net loss can be
attributable largely to the fair value adjustments related to our derivative
financial instruments of $60,823,574 and $6,309,933 in 2005 and 2004,
respectively. See the discussion above, about our derivative income (expense)
for additional information. Our earnings will continue to be affected by the
fair value adjustments of our derivative financial instruments until they are
disposed of through contractual modifications, conversions and exercises of our
share indexed instruments, or expiration.
Consolidated Loss Applicable to Common Shareholders
Loss applicable to common shareholders represents net loss as adjusted for
preferred stock dividends and accretion of our redeemable preferred stock and
our equity classified preferred stock to redemption values using the effective
method. Many of our preferred stock series have cumulative dividend features and
we will continue to reflect preferred stock dividends in our loss applicable to
common shareholders until the preferred stock is converted, if ever. In
addition, many of our redeemable preferred stock series were initially
discounted due to the allocation of financing proceeds to detachable warrants
and embedded derivative financial instruments. We use the effective method to
amortize these discounts. The use of the effective method to accrete our
discounted redeemable preferred stock to redemption values causes accretion to
increase over the redemption period as the carrying values increase.
Accordingly, accretions will increase in future periods until the preferred is
fully accreted to redemption values or converted.
Consolidated Loss per Common Share
The Company's basic loss per common share for the year ended December 31, 2005
was $(0.60) compared with a basic loss per common share for the same period in
2004 of $(0.31). Because the Company experienced net losses in 2005 and 2004,
all potential common share conversions existing in our financial instruments
would have an antidilutive impact on earnings per share; therefore, diluted loss
per common share equals basic loss per common share for both years.
The weighted average common shares outstanding increased from 40,229,738 for the
year ended December 31, 2004 to 135,032,836 for the year ended December 31,
2005. The increase is attributed primarily to conversions of our convertible
debt and preferred instruments into common shares. Potential common stock
conversions excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share amounted
to 108,059,082 and 126,767,057 for the years ending December 31 2005 and 2004,
respectively.
Consolidated Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss differs from net loss for the year ended December 2005 and
2004 by ($30,759) and ($689), respectively, which represents the effects of
foreign currency translation on the financial statements of our subsidiaries
denominated in foreign currencies. Our foreign operations are currently not
significant. Increases in our foreign operations will likely increase the
effects of foreign currency translation adjustments on our financial statements.
20
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Management's Plans:
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we
have incurred operating losses and negative cash flow from operations and have
negative working capital of $51,012,013 as of June 30, 2006. This negative
figure is largely the effect of our recording of $36,425,561 for derivative
liabilities. In addition, we are delinquent on certain of our debt agreements at
June 30, 2006, and, we have experienced delays in filing our financial
statements and registration statements due to errors in our historical
accounting that currently are being corrected. Our inability to make these
filings is resulting in our recognition of penalties payable to the investors.
These penalties will continue until we can complete our filings and register the
common shares into which the investors' financial instruments are convertible.
Finally, our revenues are significantly concentrated with one major customer.
The loss of this customer or curtailment in business with this customer could
have a material adverse affect on our business. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have been dependent upon third party financings as we execute on our
business model and plans. While our liquid reserves have been substantially
depleted as of June 30, 2006, we completed a $30.0 million convertible note
financing in July 2006 that is expected to fulfill our liquidity requirements
through the end of 2006. However, $15.0 million of this financing is held in
escrow, and we are in default on this instrument due to the delay in filing our
quarterly financial report for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2006. We have
entered into an Amendment Agreement with the holders of the Notes to amend the
Notes in certain respects as consideration for the holders' release of the
Company's default resulting from its delay in the filing of this quarterly
report.
We plan to increase our revenues, improve our gross margins, augment our
international business and, if necessary, obtain additional financing.
Ultimately, our ability to continue is dependent upon the achievement of
profitable operations. There is no assurance that further funding will be
available at acceptable terms, if at all, or that we will be able to achieve
profitability.
The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that
may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Information about our cash flows
As of June 30, 2006, we reported that net cash used in operating
activities was $7,385,239, net cash provided by financing activities was
$3,211,672 and net cash used in investing activities was $736,514 during the six
months ended June 30, 2006. We had a negative working capital of $51,012,013 as
of June 30, 2006. This negative figure is largely the effect of our recording of
$36,425,561 for derivative liabilities.
Compared to $2,502,512 of net cash used in operating activities in the six
months ended June 30, 2005, our current period net cash used in operating
activities increased by $4,882,727 to $7,385,239. This increase was the result
of our utilization of cash rather than equity to pay service providers in this
current period.
Changes in accounts receivable during the six months ended June 30, 2006
resulted in a cash increase of $1,941,060, compared to a cash increase in
receivables of $26,778 for the same period in 2005, having a net result of an
increase of $1,914,282. Cash utilized for inventory increased during this period
by $2,490,676, compared to cash used of $54,981 for the same period in 2005.
This increase was the result of our building inventory in connection with the
continued implementation of our Master Distribution Agreement with Coca-Cola
Enterprises. The changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the six
months ended June 30, 2006 contributed to a cash increase of $5,590,386, whereas
the changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities for the period ended
June 30, 2005 amounted to an increase of $893,461. Cash flows generated through
our operating activities was inadequate to cover all of our cash disbursement
needs in the period ended June 30, and we had to rely on prior equity and new
convertible debt financing to cover operating expenses.
21
Cash used in the period ended June 30, 2006 in our investing activities
was $736,514 for license and trademark costs, furniture, computer equipment and
our purchase of eight vans in the U.S., compared to $128,135 for the same period
in 2005.
Net cash provided by our financing activities for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 was $3,211,672. Net cash provided by financing activities for the
same period in 2005 was $2,900,870, for a net increase of $310,802.
Going forward, our primary requirements for cash consist of the following:
o the continued development of our business model in the United
States and on an international basis;
o promotional and logistic production support for the capacity
demands presented by our Master Distribution Agreement with
Coca-Cola Enterprises;
o general overhead expenses for personnel to support the new
business activities;
o development, launch and marketing costs for our line of new
branded flavored milk products; and
o the payment of guaranteed license royalties.
We estimate that our need for financing to meet cash requirements for
operations will continue through the third or fourth quarter of 2006, when we
expect that cash supplied by operating activities will approach the anticipated
cash requirements for operating expenses. We anticipated the need for additional
financing in 2006 to reduce our liabilities, assist in marketing and to improve
stockholders' equity status, and we secured $30 million in senior convertible
note financing in July 2006. We have received half of the proceeds from this
financing in the third quarter, with the balance held in escrow pending a
shareholder vote to increase our authorized shares to cover the escrowed
balance. No assurances can be given that we will be able to obtain the approval
of our shareholders to increase our authorized shares, or that operating cash
flows will be sufficient to fund our operations.
We currently have monthly working capital needs of approximately $550,000.
We will continue to incur significant selling and other expenses in 2006 in
order to derive more revenue in retail markets, through the introduction and
ongoing support of our new products and the implementation of the Master
Distribution Agreement with Coca-Cola Enterprises. 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 revenues within
established markets. Freight charges will be reduced as we are able to ship more
full truckloads of product given the reduced per unit cost associated with full
truckloads versus less than full truckloads. 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 expenses and
associated costs will decrease, resulting in gross margins sufficient to
mitigate 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.
External Sources of Liquidity
On May 12, 2006, we obtained financing in the amount $2,500,000 and issued
promissory notes in that aggregate principal amount to two accredited investors.
One of these investors has exercised rights of participation and has reinvested
$1,000,000 of this note in the July 27, 2006 financing described below. The
remaining $1,500,000 principal of the notes has been paid in full with the part
of the July 27, 2006 financing proceeds.
22
On July 27, 2006, we entered into definitive agreements to sell $30
million senior convertible notes (the "Notes")that are due in 2010 to several
institutional and accredited investors in a private placement exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933. The notes initially carry a 9%
coupon, payable quarterly, and are convertible into shares of common stock at
$0.70 per share. In 2007, the coupon may decline to LIBOR upon the Company
achieving certain financial milestones. The Notes will begin to amortize in
equal, bi-monthly payments beginning in mid-2007. We issued warrants to purchase
12,857,143 shares of common stock at $0.73 per share that expire in July 2011 to
the investors in the private placement. Under the terms of the financing, we
sold $30 million notes, of which $15.0 million of the notes are being held in
escrow. The release of the funds will be subject to stockholder approval of the
increase of our authorized shares from 300,000,000 to 500,000,000 and the
effectiveness of a registration statement converting the common stock underlying
the Notes, Additional Notes and associated warrants. We will utilize this
financing for, among other things, our working capital needs. We have filed a
proxy statement seeking such shareholder approval at a Special Meeting of
Shareholders.
As a result of our failure to file our June 30, 2006 Form 10QSB timely, an
event of default has occurred under the terms of the Notes and the interest rate
on the Notes, payable quarterly, was increased from 9% to 14% per annum.
Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, upon the occurrence of an event of default,
holders of the Notes may, upon written notice to the Company, each require the
Company to redeem all or any portion of their Notes, at a default redemption
price calculated pursuant to the terms of the Notes. We have entered into an
Amendment Agreement with the holders of the Notes to amend the Notes in certain
respects as consideration for the holders' release of the Company's default
resulting from its delay in the filing of this quarterly report. See Item 3 of
Part II of this report, entitled "Default on Senior Securities", for a
description of the terms of the Amendment Agreement.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
We believe that inflation has not had any material effect on our net sales and
results of operations.
Information about our cash flows
For the year ended December 31, 2005, we reported that net cash used in
operating activities was $9,301,078, net cash provided by financing activities
was $18,209,600 and net cash used in investing activities was $4,043,665. We had
negative working capital of $39,287,983 as of December 31, 2005.
Compared to $3,629,863 of net cash used in operating activities in the year
ended December 31, 2004, our current year net cash used in operating activities
increased by $5,671,215 to $9,301,078. Changes in accounts receivable
contributed to an increase in cash used by operating activities of $3,356,477,
as compared to contributing to an increase of $77,217 for 2004 for a difference
of $3,279,260. Cash used by operating activities increased as a result of
changes in inventory during 2005 by $379,489, compared to cash provided of
$43,339 for the same period in 2004. This was the result of our building
inventory during 2005 in connection with the continued implementation of our
Master Distribution Agreement with Coca-Cola Enterprises. The changes in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2005
contributed to a reduction in cash used by operating activities of $7,294,548,
whereas such changes in 2004 contributed to a decrease in cash used by operating
activities of $542,282. Cash flows generated by our operating activities were
inadequate to cover our cash disbursement needs for the year ended December 31,
2005, and we had to rely on private placement financing, prior equity and new
convertible debt financing to cover operating expenses.
Cash used in the year ended December 31, 2005 in our invest6ing
activities was $4,043,665 for license and trademark costs and equipment
purchases, compared to $531,263 for the same period in 2004.
Net cash provided by our financing activities for the year ended
December 31, 2005 was 418,209,600. Net cash provided by financing activities for
the same period in 2004 was $4,216,844, for a net increase of $13,992,756. The
increase is attributed to private placement financings amounting to $20,690,000.

BUSINESS
Our company
Our company is a Delaware corporation, which was formed on April 27, 1996.
We 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 our
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) was our legal presence in China with respect to contractual
arrangements for the development, marketing and distribution of branded food
products. We ceased all activities of this Chinese subsidiary in April 2004,
owing to low sales volume and insufficient financial or logistic resources to
market our products profitably in mainland China.
In December 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.
In January 2005, we formed Bravo! Brands (UK) Ltd., a United Kingdom
registered company that is wholly owned by Bravo! Brands International Ltd. We
will utilize Bravo! Brands (UK) Ltd. to advance the production, promotion and
distribution of licensed branded products in the United Kingdom through
production and sales agent agreements with local entities. Currently, we are
evaluating our distribution and product mix in the UK in order to develop and
implement a more effective business plan going forward. During this period of
re-evaluation, we have ceased production of our products in the United Kingdom.
In March 2005, we formed Bravo! Brands International Ltd., a Delaware
subsidiary that may hold license rights for our branded products on an
international basis. We may utilize Bravo! Brands International Ltd. to hold and
exploit certain license rights for branded products developed by us in
international markets through local second-tier subsidiaries such as Bravo!
Brands (UK) Ltd.
The Business
Our business involves the development and marketing of our own Slammers(R)
and Bravo!(TM) trademarked brands, the obtaining of license rights from third
party holders of intellectual property rights to other trademarked brands, logos
and characters and, in certain international markets, the granting of production
and marketing rights to processor dairies to produce branded flavored milk
utilizing our intellectual property. In addition, we anticipate the commencement
of exporting our products to Mexico and Canada in the fourth quarter 2006 and
first quarter 2007, respectively.
In the United States, we generate revenue from the sales of finished
branded flavored milks to retail consumer outlets or distributors for resale to
retail consumer outlets. Currently, we use a single third-party processor in the
United Sates to produce all of our single serve milk based beverages. We
anticipate the expanded production of our products with the addition of HP Hood,
LLC as a second processor, with production commencing in the fourth quarter
2006. We recognize revenue in the United States at the gross amount of our
invoices for the sale of finished product to wholesale buyers or distributors.
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 or distributors. Our gross margin is determined by the
reported wholesale price less (i) the cost charged by our third party processor,
to produce our branded milk products and (ii) shipping costs.
24
Internationally, we generate revenue primarily through our sale to
processors of flavor ingredients utilized for our products, which are developed
and refined by us, and the grant of production rights to processors to produce
our flavored milks. The consideration paid to us under these production
contracts consists of fees charged for our grant of production rights for our
branded flavored milks plus a charge for flavor ingredients.
All of our third party 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 our third party production agreements 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 respective branded milk programs. Ingredients for
the flavored milks are formulated to our specifications and supplied on an
exclusive basis by either Givaudan Flavors Group or Mastertaste, both of which
are flavor development and production companies. In the United States, we are
the vendor of record for our direct wholesale business and assume the
responsibility for sales and marketing of our flavored milks.
Master Distribution Agreement - Coca-Cola Enterprises
On August 31, 2005, we entered into a ten-year Master Distribution
Agreement with Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc that we believe will significantly
expand the distribution and sales of our products. The agreement provides for
the distribution of our products in Coca-Cola Enterprises in the United States,
all U.S. possessions, Canada, Belgium, continental France, Great Britain,
Luxembourg, Monaco and the Netherlands, as well as any other geographic
territory to which, during the term of the agreement, Coca-Cola Enterprises
obtains the license to distribute beverages of The Coca-Cola Company. The
appointment of Coca-Cola Enterprises as the exclusive distributor for our
products was effective August 30, 2005, has an effective distribution date of
October 31, 2005 and an expiration date of August 15, 2015. Coca-Cola
Enterprises has the option to renew the Master Agreement for two subsequent
periods of ten additional years. Attendant to the execution of the agreements we
issued three-year warrants to Coca-Cola Enterprises for the right to purchase 30
million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.36 per share.
Under the terms of the agreement, Coca-Cola Enterprises is obligated to
use all commercially reasonable efforts to solicit, procure and obtain orders
for our products and merchandise and actively promote the sale of such products
in the Territory, as defined in the agreement. The agreement establishes a
comprehensive process for the phased transition from our existing system of
distributors to Coca-Cola Enterprises, dependent upon distribution territory,
product and sales channels. Under the agreement, Coca-Cola Enterprises
implemented its distribution on a ramp-up basis, commencing , October 31, 2005.
Coca-Cola Enterprises' distribution in other Territory areas will be dependent
upon, among other things, third-party licensing considerations and compliance
with the regulatory requirements for the products in foreign countries.
We have agreed to provide the following:
o strategic direction of our products;
o maintain sales force education and support;
o actively market and advertise our products and design and develop
point of sale materials and advertising. We are also responsible for
handling:
o consumer inquiries;
o product development; and
o the manufacture and adequate supply of our products for distribution
by Coca-Cola Enterprises.
The terms of the agreement require our company to maintain the
intellectual property rights necessary for our company to produce, market and/or
distribute and for Coca-Cola Enterprises to sell our products in the Territory.
We are obligated to spend a fixed dollar amount through 2006 on national and
local advertising, including actively marketing the Slammers trademark, based on
a plan as mutually agreed each year. Beginning in 2007, the Company shall
allocate an amount per year for such activities in each country in the defined
Territory equal or greater than an agreed upon percentage of our total revenue
in such country.
25
Under the agreement, Coca-Cola Enterprises has the right of first refusal
to distribute any new products developed by our company, and the agreement
establishes a process for the potential expansion of Coca-Cola Enterprises'
distribution of the Company's products to new territories. Either party may
terminate the agreement for a material breach, insolvency or bankruptcy.
Coca-Cola Enterprises may terminate (i) for change of control by our company,
(ii) upon a material governmental regulatory enforcement action or threatened
governmental action having a material adverse consumer or sales impact on our
products and (iii) upon twelve months notice after August 15, 2006.
Third Party Intellectual Property Licenses
Marvel Enterprises, Inc. (Super Heroes(R) and Marvel Heroes(R))
On February 4, 2005, we entered into a two-year license agreement for the
utilization of Marvel Heroes characters on our flavored milks in the United
Kingdom and Ireland. We agreed to a royalty rate of 4% of net wholesale sales in
the territory against the prepayment of a guaranteed minimum royalty amount. We
have adopted the unit sales model currently used in the United States. We have
outsourced the infrastructure required for the production, promotion, marketing,
distribution and sale of our products through a production agreement with
Waterfront Corporation in the UK and through an exclusive sales agency agreement
with Drinks Brokers, Ltd. a UK registered company responsible for the launch and
growth of several major beverage brands in the licensed territory. Currently, we
are evaluating our distribution and product mix in the UK in order to develop
and implement a more effective business plan going forward. During this period
of re-evaluation, we have ceased production of our Marvel co-branded products in
the United Kingdom.
In March 2005, we entered into a new one-year license agreement with
Marvel Enterprises, Inc. to use its Super Heroes(R) properties to promote our
branded milk products in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Under the terms
of the license agreement, we agreed to a royalty rate of 5% of net wholesale
sales in the United States, 4% for school lunch channels and 2.5% for school hot
lunch programs. We also agreed to a 11% royalty on the amount invoiced to dairy
processors for production in Canada and Mexico. We have not renewed this license
agreement owing to the failure of our Marvel co-branded products to achieve
expected market penetration.
On February 4, 2005, we entered into an eighteen month license agreement
for the utilization of Marvel Heroes characters on our flavored milks in nine
Middle East Countries. We agreed to a 11% royalty on the amount invoiced to
third party dairy processors for "kits" in the territory against the prepayment
of a guaranteed minimum royalty amount. We have not renewed this license
agreement owing to the failure of our Marvel co-branded products to achieve
expected market penetration.
Chattanooga Bakery, Inc.( Moon Pie(R) )
In October 2003, we commenced a two-year license agreement with MD
Enterprises, Inc. on behalf of Chattanooga Bakery. Under the terms of the
license agreement, we have the exclusive right to manufacture, distribute,
market and sell Moon Pie(R) flavored milk products in the United States. We
agreed to a variable royalty rate of 3% to 2% of net wholesale sales, depending
upon volume. This license has been extended verbally.
Masterfoods USA (Starburst(R), Milky Way(R), 3 Musketeers(R))
On September 21, 2004, we entered into a licensing agreement with
Masterfoods USA, a division of Mars, Incorporated, for the use of Masterfood's
Milky Way(R), Starburst(R) and 3 Musketeers(R) trademarks in connection with the
manufacture, marketing and sale of single serve flavored milk drinks in the
United States, its Possessions and Territories, and US Military installations
worldwide. The license limits the relationship of the parties to separate
independent entities. The initial term of the license agreement expires December
31, 2007. We have agreed to pay a royalty based upon the total net sales value
of the licensed products sold and advance payments of certain agreed upon
guaranteed royalties. Ownership of the licensed marks and the specific milk
flavors to be utilized with the marks remains with Masterfoods. We have a right
of first refusal for other milk beverage products utilizing the Masterfoods
marks within the licensed territory. This license has amended to include
additional Masterfoods brands and to extend the term to December 31,2012.
26
In March 2006, we signed two new seven year licensing agreements for
Canada and Mexico with Masterfoods, effective January 1, 2006. The licensing
agreement for Canada covers single servings of the Mars(R) Brand flavored milk
drink, Starburst(R) brand flavored milk drink and the 3 Musketeers(R) brand
flavored milk. In Mexico the licensing agreement is for single serve Milky
Way(R) brand flavored milk, Starburst(R) brand flavored milk Drink and the 3
Musketeers(R) Brand Flavored Milk. These licensing agreements cover most trade
channels including grocery, food service, Club Stores as well as schools with
children over the age of 13, colleges and universities, vending machines,
amusement parks and movie theaters.
Diabetes Research Institute
In June 2005, we extended our licensing agreement with Diabetes Research
Institute to June 30, 2007. We agreed to a variable royalty rate of 0.25% of net
sales. We use this intellectual property, which consists of a logo plus design
on the labels of our Slim Slammers(TM) product line.
In House Intellectual Property
In addition to our third-party licenses, we have developed and sell
flavored milks bearing trademarks developed by us, including "Slammers(R)" "Pro
Slammers(TM)", "Slim Slammers(R)" and "Breakfast Blenders(TM)"..
Production Contracts/Administration
Our operations in the United States, the Middle East, Mexico and Canada
are run directly by Bravo! Foods International Corp. Our United Kingdom business
is managed through our wholly owned subsidiary Bravo! Brands International Ltd.,
which is a UK registered company.
United States
Since 2003, our milk products have been produced by Jasper Products,
located in Joplin, Missouri. In addition to the production of our products,
Jasper has provided the infra-structure necessary for our invoicing, shipping
and collection activities. We anticipate that we will assume direct
responsibility for these activities in house in the fourth quarter 2006. We will
expand production of our products with the addition of HP Hood, LLC as a second
processor, with production commencing in the fourth quarter 2006
United Kingdom
In February 2005, we executed an exclusive sales agency agreement with
Drinks Brokers, Ltd., a division of Tactical Sales Resources Limited for sales
of our product lines in the United Kingdom. Pursuant to terms of the agreement,
Bravo! appointed Drinks Brokers as its Sales Agent in the United Kingdom for the
marketing, promotion, distribution and sale of Bravo!'s Slammers(R) Marvel
Heroes line of flavored milk, as well as other product lines that Bravo! may
introduce to the UK in the near future.
Drinks Brokers utilizes its established networks to manage all matters
relating to the sale and effective distribution of Bravo!'s products within the
United Kingdom, including the solicitation of sales from customers in applicable
market segments, marketing, advertising and promotion of Bravo!'s products,
distribution, and merchandising.
Our products are processed in the United Kingdom by Waterfront Corporation
Limited, on a third party co-pack basis. We generate revenue in the United
Kingdom from the unit sales of finished branded flavored milks to retail
consumer outlets. Currently, we use a single third-party processor in the United
Kingdom to produce all of our single serve milk based beverages. We recognize
revenue in the United Kingdom at the gross amount of our invoices for the sale
of finished product to wholesale buyers. We take title to our branded flavored
milks when they are shipped by our third party processor and recognize as
revenue the gross wholesale price charged to our wholesale customers. Our gross
margin is determined by the reported wholesale price less the cost charged by
Waterfront Corporation Limited.
27
Middle East
In September 2005, we entered into a third party production agreement with
Oman National Dairy Products Co. Ltd., a Middle East dairy processor,
headquartered in Ruwi, Oman. Oman Dairy will process our Slammers (R) branded
flavored milks, including the Marvel line, for distribution in nine Middle East
countries. We generate revenue in the Middle East by the sale of flavor
ingredients and production rights for our branded products. We are not
responsible for production, marketing, promotion or distribution of the product
in the Middle East.
Products
In September of 2000, we commenced our United States business using third
party dairy processors for the production and sale of fresh branded flavored
milk in single serve plastic bottles. Our flavored milk products had a limited
shelf life of, generally, 21 days.
In early 2002, we developed branded extended shelf life and aseptic,
bacteria free, long life flavored milk products. The extended shelf life product
was sold in 11.5oz single serve plastic bottles and had to be refrigerated. The
shelf life of this product is 90 days. In addition, we developed a line of
aseptic packaged milks that do not require refrigeration and have a shelf life
of 8 months. This product was 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(R) Fortified Reduced Fat Milk" brand name. We use
our Slammers(R) brand in conjunction with our licensed third party trademarks.
Slammers(R) is made from reduced fat milk and is fortified with 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 were sold in the United States in single serve extended shelf
life plastic bottles, as well as the long life aseptic Tetra Pak Prisma(TM)
package.
In November 2002, we introduced Slim Slammers(R) Fortified Milk, a low
calorie version of our Slammers (R)Fortified Reduced Fat Milk. Slim Slammers(R)
Fortified Milk has no added sugar and is sweetened with sucralose, a natural
sweetener made from sugar. Slim Slammers(R) Fortified Milk 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 reintroduced this product in the
United States with a new package and formulation during 2004.
In 2004, we announced our product development and brand strategy for seven
new, separate and distinct single serve product lines: Ultimate Slammers(TM),
Slim Slammers(R), Moon Pie Slammers(R), Pro-Slammers(TM), Starburst(R)
Slammers(R), 3 Musketeers(R) Slammers(R) and Milky Way(R) Slammers(R). These
product lines are all fortified and positioned to appeal directly to profiled
demographic segments, including teens and pre teens for Ultimate Slammers(TM),
Starburst(R) Slammers(R) and Milky Way(R) Slammers(R), teens and sports
enthusiasts for Pro-Slammers(TM), young to old for Moon Pie(R) Slammers(R) and
health conscious adults for Slim Slammers(R) and 3 Musketeers(R) Slammers(R).
We launched four brands in 2004, beginning with Ultimate Slammers(R) in
April and achieved national distribution of Ultimate Slammers(R) through both
retail grocers and convenience stores by mid- summer. Roughly 10,000 retail
supermarket stores carried this brand nationwide in 2004. This was followed by
our June launch of Slim Slammers(R) and Moon Pie (R)Slammers(R) and the July
release of our Pro-Slammers(TM) line.
In January 2005, we launched our Slammers(R) Starburst line of Fruit &
Cream Smoothies utilizing a "shelf stable" re-sealable plastic bottle for milk
products that does not require refrigeration. Until that launch, all single
serve flavored milk in plastic bottles required refrigeration for storage,
distribution and shelf placement. The tactical advantage of distributing milk
products ambient enables us to side-step a major entry barrier in our immediate
consumption strategy. Refrigerated milk is relegated to dairy
direct-store-delivery systems that are controlled by either regional dairy
processors or larger national dairy holding companies. Shelf stable re-sealable
plastic bottles allow us to use a more traditional distribution network that
accommodates the non-refrigerated beverages. Also, milk products packaged in
shelf stable re-sealable plastic bottles have significantly longer shelf life
for storage, allowing us to ship in full truckloads resulting in decreased
freight costs. We currently are converting all of our products to "shelf stable"
re-sealable plastic bottles.
28
In the first quarter 2005, we launched our Slammers(R) MilkyWay and 3
Musketeers lines utilizing a "shelf stable" re-sealable plastic bottle for milk
products that does not require refrigeration, under the Masterfoods License.
During this period, we also introduced Breakfasts Blenders(TM), which is a meal
replacement milk beverage developed for the "on the go" consumer.
Industry Trends
The flavored milk industry has grown from approximately $750 million in
1995 to $2.5 billion in 2004. The single serve portion of this category is
difficult to measure, since approximately 2/3 of the sales in the single serve
milk industry are sold in immediate consumption channels or other channels that
do not report scan-data. For example, Wal-Mart has become the largest retailer
in the USA for milk, selling an estimated 15% of total milk sales. Wal-Mart does
not report sales for the industry data resources embodied in A.C. Neilson or IRI
analyses. Similarly, most convenience stores and "up-and-down-the-street"
retailers in the immediate consumption sales channels do not report either, and
neither do vending and schools.
We have analyzed the industry using reports available from milk and
beverage industry sources. These include the total, segmented and rate of growth
sales that are reported, the immediate consumption sales rates for all
consumables compared to retail grocery buying patterns and opinions of experts
in the milk industry as to the relative size of reported versus non-reported
sales. Based upon these reports and analysis, we believe the current size of the
single serve flavored milk industry (packaging 16 oz. or smaller) is
approximately $1.5 billion domestically. The industry grew at annual rates of
between 5 and 15 percent during the last five years but was virtually flat in
the last two years while it digested the remarkable 10-year growth rates. We
believe that this space is positioned for growth now and will continue to be in
the immediate consumption channels such as vending, convenience stores and food
service market segments.
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
its 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 2004, the flavored milk segment was approximately $2.5 billion in
2004, with single serve flavored milk growing to approximately $1.5 billion for
the same period. Statistically, as the flavored segment grows, the entire
category grows as well. In the past ten years, 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),
Pro Slammers(TM) 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! product 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(R) and Pro Slammers(TM) fortified milk product lines and our
Slim Slammers(R) low calorie, no sugar added products.
29
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 currently are implementing a very important "first-to-market" strategy
that we feel will dramatically reposition our brands and company. Until now, all
single served flavored milk in plastic bottles required refrigeration for
storage, distribution, and shelf placement. Our strategic partner, Jasper
Products, became America's first processor with FDA approval to offer a "shelf
stable" re-sealable plastic bottle for ambient milk products that do not require
refrigeration.
The tactical advantage of distributing our milk products at ambient
temperatures enables us to side-step a major entry barrier in our immediate
consumption strategy. Most beverages are distributed ambient either through
beverage distribution channels or warehouse "candy and tobacco" distributors.
Refrigerated milk was relegated to dairy direct-store-delivery systems that are
controlled by either regional dairy processors or larger national dairy holding
companies such as Dean Foods or H.P. Hood. We avoid the roadblock of being
reliant upon our competition for chilled distribution since we are now in the
unique position to use the more traditional distribution network that
accommodates non-refrigerated beverages. We currently are converting all of our
products into ambient "shelf stable" re-sealable plastic bottles.
We have been and continue to pursue a strategic goal of placing
Slammers(R) milks in elementary, middle and high schools through ala carte lunch
programs and vending facilities in school cafeterias, and we are promoting our
Slim Slammers(R) 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.
Competition
Nestle pioneered the single serve plastic re-sealable bottle which has
become the standard for this industry, and they currently enjoy a dominant
market share. Dean Foods owns a number of regional single serve brands that are
sold in this format, and they also have an exclusive license to produce Hershey
brand flavored milk nationwide. Our analysis indicates that the Nestle's Nesquik
brand accounts for approximately 30-35 percent of the U.S. single serve milk
category, while Hershey's market share is approximately half that, at around
15%. The other competition comes from private label and regional dairy brands.
Our Slammers(R) milks are the only other single serve brand distributed
nationally in America in plastic re-sealable containers.
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 Nestle and Hershey, however, we have been able to maintain
competitive sales levels.
Employees
We have thirty three full time employees, twenty one of which work at our
North Palm Beach corporate offices.

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 current
aggregate monthly rent amounts to approximately $7,468, which includes an
expansion of our office space from 2,485 square feet to 3,490 square feet. The
term of this lease has been extended for six years to October 30, 2010.
We have executed a lease for an expansion of our office space in North
Palm Beach, Florida to include an additional 2,190 square feet at $18.50 per
square foot.

options for 35,000 shares of common stock for each year as a director through
2001. Each member of the executive committee has received options for an
additional 40,000 shares of common stock for their services from 1998 through

one for one basis the options granted to our present employees and the directors
currently serving on the Board into a like number of our restricted shares of
common stock at the discounted value of $0.05 per share. The conversion of the
options to common stock for any individual director or employee was conditioned
upon a "lockup" agreement by such director or employee, pursuant to which the
recipients of such common stock could not sell, transfer, pledge or hypothecate
such common stock for a six-month period.
On April 6, 2005, our Directors voted to adopt a Stock Option Incentive

We are authorized to issue up to 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par
value $.001. As of October 5, 2006, there were195,018,001 shares of common stock

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

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 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. If the shares of common
stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders
will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or a gent's
commissions. These sales may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at
the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or
negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the
following methods when selling shares:
o on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the
securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
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 in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the
over-the-counter market;
o through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an
options exchange or otherwise;
o an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
o privately negotiated transactions;
o purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer
for its account;
o short sales (subsequent to the effectiveness of this prospectus);
42
o broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified
number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
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 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.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other
brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as
agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and
discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. Any
profits on the resale of shares of common stock by a broker-dealer acting as
principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the
Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling
expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by a selling
stockholder. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer
or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares
if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.
In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the
selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers,
which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the
course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also
sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by
this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in
connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or
pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such
shares.
The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security
interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they
default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured
parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under
this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule
424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending
the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other
successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in
other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors
in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this
prospectus and may sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this
prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule
424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending
the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other
successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The
selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in
other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other
successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of
this prospectus.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are
involved in selling the shares of common stock may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such
sales. In such event, any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions
allowed to, such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the
shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular
offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if
required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of
shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including
the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions
and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any
discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to
broker-dealers.
43
Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may
be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.
In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless
such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an
exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of
the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the shelf registration
statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration
of the shares of common stock, including $10,000 of fees and disbursements of
counsel to the selling stockholders. We have agreed to indemnify the selling
stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.
If we are notified by any selling stockholder that any material
arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of
common stock, if required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus. If the
selling stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of the shares of common
stock, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act.
The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling
stockholders, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the
shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and any other participating
person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the
distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities
with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the
marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or
entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of
common stock.
Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms
a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of
persons other than our affiliates.
The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling
stockholders.
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
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.
44
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.
45
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 the selling stockholders
sell all the shares registered below, 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.

financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included in the accompanying financial statements. Operating results
for the six-month period ending June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2006.
As more fully described in Note 10, we have restated our balance sheet as of
June 30, 2006 and our statements of operations and cash flows for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2006 for errors related to the accounting for
liquidated damages arising from certain of our financing transactions and
certain other matters more fully described in Notes 3 and 10.
Liquidity and Management's Plans:
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we have
incurred operating losses and negative cash flow from operations and have
working capital deficiency of $51,012,013 as of June 30, 2006. In addition, we
are delinquent on certain of our debt agreements at June 30, 2006, and we have
experienced delays in filing our financial statements and registration
statements due to errors in our historical accounting that have been corrected
(See Note 10). Our inability to make these filings is resulting in our
recognition of penalties to the investors, and these penalties will continue
until we can complete our filings and register the common shares into which the
investors' financial instruments are convertible. Finally, our revenues are
significantly concentrated with one major customer. The loss of this customer or
curtailment in business with this customer could have a material adverse affect
on our business. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern.
We have been dependent upon third party financings as we execute our business
model and plans. While our liquid reserves have been substantially depleted as
of June 30, 2006, we completed a $30.0 million convertible note financing in
July 2006 that is expected to fulfill our liquidity requirements through the end
of 2006. However, $15.0 million of this financing is held in escrow, and we are
in default on this instrument due to the delay in filing our quarterly financial
report for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2006. As a result, an event of
default has occurred under the terms of the Notes, and the interest rate on the
Notes, payable quarterly, was increased from 9% to 14% per annum. Pursuant to
the terms of the Notes, upon the occurrence of an event of default, holders of
the Notes may, upon written notice to the Company, each require the Company to
redeem all or any portion of their Notes at a default redemption price
calculated pursuant to the terms of the Notes. Subsequent to June 30, 2006, we
have entered into an Amendment Agreement with the holders of the Notes to amend
the Notes in certain respects as consideration for the holders' release of the
Company's default resulting from its delay in the filing of this quarterly
report. See Item 3 of Part II of this report, entitled "Default on Senior
Securities", for a description of the terms of the Amendment Agreement.

We plan to increase our sales, improve our gross profit margins, augment our
international business and, if necessary, obtain additional financing.
Ultimately, our ability to continue is dependent upon the achievement of
profitable operations. There is no assurance that further funding will be
available at acceptable terms, if at all, or that we will be able to achieve
profitability.
The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 2. - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
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
our financial statements are the following:
o Estimating future bad debts on accounts receivable that are carried at net
realizable values.
o Estimating our reserve for unsalable and obsolete inventories that are
carried at lower of cost or market.
o Estimating the fair value of our financial instruments that are required
to be carried at fair value.
o Estimating the recoverability of our long-lived assets.
We use all available information and appropriate techniques to develop our
estimates. However, actual results could differ from our estimates.
Business Segment and Geographic Information
We operate in one dominant industry segment that we have defined as the single
serve flavored milk industry. While our international business is expected to
grow in the future, it currently contributes less than 10% of our revenues, and
we have no physical assets outside of the United States.
Revenue Recognition
Our revenues are derived from the sale of branded milk products to customers in
the United States of America, Great Britain and the Middle East. Geographically,
our revenues are dispersed 98% and 2% between the United States of America and
internationally, respectively. We currently have one customer in the United
States that provided 74% and 0% of our revenue during the six months ended June
30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

BRAVO! FOODS INTERNATIONAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Revenues are recognized pursuant to formal revenue arrangements with our
customers, at contracted prices, when our product is delivered to their premises
and collectibility is reasonably assured. We extend merchantability warranties
to our customers on our products, but otherwise do not afford our customers with
rights of return. Warranty costs have historically been insignificant.
Our revenue arrangements often provide for industry-standard slotting fees where
we make cash payments to the respective customer to obtain rights to place our
products on their retail shelves for a stipulated period of time. We also engage
in other promotional discount programs in order to enhance our sales activities.
We believe our participation in these arrangements is essential to ensuring
continued volume and revenue growth in the competitive marketplace. These
payments, discounts and allowances are recorded as reductions to our reported
revenue. Unamortized slotting fees are recorded in prepaid expenses.
Principles of Consolidation
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bravo! Foods
International Corp. (the "Company"), and its wholly-owned subsidiary Bravo!
Brands (UK) Ltd. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs incurred to deliver products to our customers are
included as a component of cost of sales. These costs amounted to approximately
$351,000 and $292,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively; $745,000 and $431,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and
2005, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Our accounts receivable are exposed to credit risk. During the normal course of
business, we extend unsecured credit to our customers with normal and
traditional trade terms. Typically credit terms require payments to be made by
the thirtieth day following the sale. We regularly evaluate and monitor the
creditworthiness of each customer. We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts
based on our continuing evaluation of our customers' credit risk and our overall
collection history. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the allowance of
doubtful accounts aggregated approximately $365,000 and $350,000, respectively.
In addition, our accounts receivable are concentrated with one customer who
represents 39% and 0% of our gross accounts receivable balances at June 30, 2006
and December 31, 2005, respectively. Approximately, 6% of our gross accounts
receivable at June 30, 2006 are due from international customers.

Inventories
Inventories, which consist primarily of finished goods, is stated at the lower
of cost on the first in, first-out method or market. Our inventories at June 30,
2006 have substantially increased from levels at December 31, 2006 because we
are building inventories to support our contractual arrangement with a
significant customer. Further, our inventories are perishable. Accordingly, we
estimate and record lower-of-cost or market and unsalable-inventory reserves
based upon a combination of our historical experience and on a specific
identification basis. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we did not
provide for unsaleable inventories.
In November 2004, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard No. 151,
Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43 Chapter 4 (FAS 151), which clarifies
that inventory costs that are "abnormal" are required to be charged to expense
as incurred as opposed to being capitalized into inventory as a product cost.
FAS 151 provides examples of "abnormal" costs to include costs of idle
facilities, excess freight and handling costs and spoilage. FAS 151 became
effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006. The adoption of FAS No.
151 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Furniture and Equipment
Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using 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 betterments 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.
Intangible Assets
Our intangible assets as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 consist of our
distribution agreement with Coca-Cola Enterprises ("CCE"), our manufacturing
agreement with Jasper Products, Inc. and licenses and trademark costs, with
estimated lives of ten years, five years and one-to-five years, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate the carrying value and recoverability of our long-lived assets when
circumstances warrant such evaluation by applying the provisions of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets ("FAS 144"). FAS 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.
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments, as defined in Financial Accounting Standard No. 107
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FAS 107), consist of
cash, evidence of ownership in an entity and contracts that both (i) impose on
one entity a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial
instrument to a second entity, or to exchange other financial instruments on
potentially unfavorable terms with the second entity, and (ii) conveys to that
second entity a contractual right (a) to receive cash or another financial
instrument from the first entity, or (b) to exchange other financial instruments
on potentially favorable terms with the first entity. Accordingly, our financial
instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, derivative financial instruments,
convertible debt and redeemable preferred stock that we have concluded is more
akin to debt than equity.
We carry cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and
accrued liabilities at historical costs; their respective estimated fair values
approximate carrying values due to their current nature. We also carry notes
payable, convertible debt and redeemable preferred stock at historical cost;
however, fair values of debt instruments and redeemable preferred stock are
estimated for disclosure purposes (below) based upon the present value of the
estimated cash flows at market interest rates applicable to similar instruments.
As of June 30, 2006, estimated fair values and respective carrying values of our
notes payable, convertible debt and redeemable preferred stock are as follows:

Derivative financial instruments, as defined in Financial Accounting Standard
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
(FAS 133), consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a
notional amount and one or more underlying (e.g. interest rate, security price
or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement.
Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other
financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially,
and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare
instances, assets.
We generally do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to
cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, we have entered into
certain other financial instruments and contracts, such as debt financing
arrangements, redeemable preferred stock arrangements, and freestanding warrants
with features that are either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii)
embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be
net-cash settled by the counterparty. As required by FAS 133, these instruments
are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in our
financial statements.

See the notes referenced in the table for details of the origination and
accounting for these derivative financial instruments. We estimate fair values
of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations
thereof) that are considered to be consistent with the objective measuring fair
values. In selecting the appropriate technique, we consider, among other
factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the
expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments, such as
free-standing warrants, we generally use the Black-Scholes-Merton option
valuation technique because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions
(including trading volatility, estimated terms and risk free rates) necessary to
fair value these instruments. For complex derivative instruments, such as
embedded conversion options, we generally use the Flexible Monte Carlo valuation
technique because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including credit
risk, interest-rate risk and exercise/conversion behaviors) that are necessary
to fair value these more complex instruments. For forward contracts that
contingently require net-cash settlement as the principal means of settlement,
we project and discount future cash flows applying probability-weightage to
multiple possible outcomes. Estimating fair values of derivative financial
instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates
that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with
related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition,
option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in our
trading market price which has a high-historical volatility. Since derivative
financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our
income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.
The following table summarizes the effects on our income (loss) associated with
changes in the fair values of our derivative financial instruments by type of
financing for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Our derivative liabilities as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and our
derivative losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005
is significant to our consolidated financial statements. The magnitude of the
derivative loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 when compared
with the losses for the same periods ended June 30, 2006 reflects the following:
(a) During the six months ended June 30, 2005, and specifically commencing in
the second quarter, the trading price of our common stock reached significantly
high levels relative to its trend. The trading price of our common stock
significantly affects the fair value of our derivative financial instruments. To
illustrate, our trading stock price at the end of the first quarter of 2005 was
$0.15 and then increased to $0.93 by the end of the second quarter. Our trading
stock price then declined to $0.61 and $0.59 at the end of the third and fourth
quarters, respectively. However, the higher stock price had the effect of
significantly increasing the fair value of our derivative liabilities and,
accordingly, we were required to adjust the derivatives to these higher values
with charges to our income. Also, due to the higher stock price commencing in
the second quarter, we experienced significant exercise and conversion activity
related to our derivative warrants and, to a lesser degree, with respect to the
embedded conversion options. Accordingly, our year end derivative liability
balances reflect, among other elements of our valuation assumptions, the higher
intrinsic values of the arrangements caused by the significant changes in our
stock price, which are offset by a smaller number of common shares indexed to
outstanding warrants due to the extraordinary level of exercise activity.
(b) During the year ended December 31, 2005, we entered into a $2,300,000 debt
and warrant financing arrangement, more fully discussed in Note 5(b). In
connection with our accounting for this financing we encountered the unusual
circumstance of a day-one loss related to the recognition of derivative
instruments arising from the arrangement. That means that the fair value of the
bifurcated compound derivative and warrants exceeded the proceeds that we
received from the arrangement and we were required to record a loss to record
the derivative financial instruments at fair value. The loss that we recorded
amounted to $8,663,869. We did not enter into any other financing arrangements
during the periods reported that reflected day-one losses.

(a) As more fully described in Notes 6(a) and 6(c) these instruments were
afforded the conventional convertible exemption, which means we did not
have to bifurcate the embedded conversion feature. However, we were
required to bifurcate certain other embedded derivatives as discussed in
the notes. Although the conversion features did not require derivative
accounting, we are required to also consider the 1,256,127 and 8,000,000
common shares, respectively, into which these instruments are convertible
in determining whether we have sufficient authorized and unissued common
shares for all of our share-settled obligations.

We have entered into registration rights agreements with certain investors that
require us to file a registration statement covering shares underlying a
financing arrangement, become effective on the registration statement, maintain
effectiveness and, in some instances, maintain the listing of the underlying
shares. Certain of these registration rights agreements require our payment of
liquidating damages to the investors in the event we do not achieve the
requirements. We record estimated liquidated damages as liabilities and charges
to our income when the liquidated damages are probable and estimable under
Financial Accounting Standard No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. During the
three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded liquidated damages expense
of $3,872,388 and $4,558,275.
Advertising and Promotion Costs
Advertising and promotion costs, which are included in selling expenses, are
expensed as incurred and aggregated $934,057 and $2,187,133 for the three months

Share-based payments
Effective January 1, 2005, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based compensation.
Effective January 1, 2006 we adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payments (FAS123R). Under the fair value method, we recognize
compensation expense for all share-based payments granted after January 1, 2005,
as well as all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of
January 1, 2005, in accordance with SFAS No. 123. Under the fair value
recognition provisions of FAS 123(R), we recognize share-based compensation
expense, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, over the requisite service period
of the award. Prior to the adoption of FAS 123 and FAS 123(R), the Company
accounted for share-based payments under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and the disclosure provisions of
SFAS No. 123. For further information regarding the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R),
see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
We account 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.
Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Our basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income (loss)
applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common share
outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted income (loss) per common share
is computed similar to basic income (loss) per common share except that diluted
income (loss) per common share includes dilutive common stock equivalents, using
the treasury stock method, and assumes that the convertible debt instruments
were converted into common stock upon issuance, if dilutive. For the three and
six months ended June 30, 2006 potential common shares arising from our stock
options, stock warrants, convertible debt and convertible preferred stock

========== ========
(a) $2,500,000 Note Payable, due November 12, 2006:
On May 12, 2006, we issued $2,500,000, six-month-term, 10% notes payable plus
detachable warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of our common stock with a
strike price of $0.80 for a period of five-years. Net proceeds from this
financing transaction amounted to $2,235,000. The holder has the option to
redeem the notes for cash in the event of defaults and certain other contingent
events, including events related to the common stock into which the instrument
is convertible, registration and listing (and maintenance thereof) of our common
stock and filing of reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Default Put"). We evaluated the terms and conditions of the notes and warrants
and determined that (i) the Default Put required bifurcation because it did not
meet the "clearly and closely related" criteria of FAS 133 and (ii) the warrants
did not meet all of the requisite conditions for equity classification under FAS
133. As a result, the net proceeds from the arrangement were first allocated to
the Default Put ($87,146) and the warrants ($901,665) based upon their fair
values, because these instruments are required to be initially and subsequently
carried at fair values. These instruments are carried in our balance sheet under
the classification, Derivative Liabilities.

Default Put ($216,735) -- ($216,735) --
========== === ========== ===
Warrant derivative $ 162,435 -- $ 162,435 --
========== === ========== ===
We estimated the fair value of the put on the inception date using a cash flow
technique that involves probability weighting multiple outcomes. We estimated
the warrant value using the Black Scholes-Merton technique. Significant
assumptions included in our valuation models are as follows:
Inception June 30, 2006
----------- --------------
Trading value of common stock $ 0.75 $ 0.61
Warrant strike price $ 0.80 $ 0.80
Volatility 133.00% 133.00%
Risk free rate 5.08% 5.04%
Expected term Stated term Remaining term
Discount rate used for cash flows 13.75% 14.00%
The fair value of the Default Put increased, resulting in a charge to income,
due to changes in management's weighted probability estimates following the
financing inception and which generally are attributable to the increasing
probability of default events. The fair value of the warrants declined
principally due to the decline in our common stock trading price. Since these
instruments are measured at fair value, future changes in assumptions, arising
from both internal factors and general market conditions, may cause further
variation in the fair value of these instruments. Changes in fair values of
derivative financial instruments are reflected as charges and credits to income.
The above allocations resulted in a discount to the carrying value of the notes
amounting to approximately $1,254,000. This discount, along with related
deferred finance costs and future interest payments, are being amortized through
periodic charges to interest expense using the effective method. Interest
expense during the six months ended June 30, 2006 amounted to approximately
$165,000. Interest expense during the third and fourth quarters of 2006 are
currently estimated to be $637,000 and $577,000 respectively.

(b) On May 9, 2004 we received the proceeds of a $750,000 loan from Mid-Am
Capital, payable September 3, 2004, with an interest rate of 8%. This loan is
secured by a general security interest in all of our assets. Mid-Am has agreed
to extend the note on a demand basis.
(c) In 1999, we issued a promissory note to assume existing debt owed by our
then Chinese joint venture subsidiary to a supplier, International Paper. The
face value of that unsecured note was $282,637 at an annual interest rate of
10.5%. The note originally required 23 monthly payments of $7,250 and a balloon
payment of $159,862 due on July 15, 2000. During 2000, we negotiated an
extension of this note to July 1, 2001. International Paper imposed a charge of
$57,000 to renegotiate the note, which amount represents interest due through
the extension date. The balance due on this note is $187,743 at June 30, 2006
and December 31, 2005, all of which is delinquent. Although International Paper
has not pursued collection of the note, it is possible that they could do so in
the future and, if they do, such collection effort may have a significant
adverse impact on the liquidity of the Company.

(a) $400,000 Convertible Note Financing
On November 20, 2003, we issued $400,000 of 8.0% convertible notes payable, due
November 20, 2005 plus warrants to purchase 14,000,000 shares of our common
stock with a strike prices ranging from $0.05 to $1.00 for a period of three
years. $200,000 face value of the convertible notes were outstanding on June 30,
2006 and December 31, 2005 following the modification of the underlying note
agreement, extending the maturity date of the remaining balance to November 20,
2006. The convertible notes are convertible into a variable number of our common
shares based upon a variable conversion price of the lower of $0.05 or 75% of
the closing market price near the conversion date. The holder has the option to
redeem the convertible notes payable for cash at 130% of the face value in the
event of defaults and certain other contingent events, including events related
to the common stock into which the instrument is convertible, registration and
listing (and maintenance thereof) of our common stock and filing of reports with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Default Put"). In addition, we
extended registration rights to the holder that required registration and
continuing effectiveness thereof; we would be required to pay monthly
liquidating damages of 2.0% for defaults under this provision.
In our evaluation of this instrument, we concluded that the conversion feature
was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument due to
variable conversion feature; and it did not otherwise meet the conditions for
equity classification. Since equity classification is not available for the
conversion feature, we were required to bifurcate the embedded conversion
feature and carry it as a derivative liability, at fair value. We also concluded
that the Default Put required bifurcation because, while puts on debt
instruments are generally considered clearly and closely related to the host,
the Default Put is indexed to certain events, noted above, that are not
associated debt instruments. We combined all embedded features that required
bifurcation into one compound instrument that is carried as a component of
derivative liabilities. We also determined that the warrants did not meet the
conditions for equity classification because, as noted above, share settlement
and maintenance of an effective registration statement are not within our
control. Therefore, the warrants are also required to be carried as a derivative
liability, at fair value.

We estimated the fair value of the compound derivative on the inception dates,
and subsequently, using the Monte Carlo Valuation technique, because that
technique embodies all of the assumptions (including credit risk, interest risk,
stock price volatility and conversion estimates) that are necessary to fair
value complex derivative instruments. We estimated the fair value of the
warrants on the inceptions dates, and subsequently, using the
Black-Scholes-Merton Valuation technique, because that technique embodies all of
the assumptions (including, volatility, expected terms, and risk free rates)
that are necessary to fair value freestanding warrants. As a result of these
estimates, our valuation model resulted in compound derivative balances
associated with this financing arrangement of $1,666,200 and $1,311,000 as of
June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. These amounts are included in
Derivative Liabilities on our balance sheet. Warrants related to the financing
were fully converted prior to December 31, 2005.

Changes in the fair value of the compound derivative and, therefore, derivative
income (expense) related to the compound derivative is significantly affected by
changes in our trading stock price and the credit risk associated with our
financial instruments. The fair value of the warrant derivative is significantly
affected by changes in our trading stock prices. Future changes in these
underlying market conditions will have a continuing effect on derivative income
(expense) associated with the remaining compound derivatives.
The aforementioned allocations to the compound and warrant derivatives resulted
in the discount in the carrying value of the notes to zero. This discount, along
with related deferred finance costs and future interest payments, are amortized
through periodic charges to interest expense using the effective method.
Interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 amounted to
approximately $15,000 and $53,000, respectively.
As noted in the introductory paragraph of this section, the holders extended the
notes one additional year to November 2006. This modification was accounted for
as an extinguishment because the present value of the amended debt was
significantly different than the present value immediately preceding the
modification. As a result of the extinguishment, the existing debt carrying
value was adjusted to fair value using projected cash flows at market rates for
similar instruments. This extinguishment resulted in our recognition of a gain
on extinguishment of $22,733 in the fourth fiscal quarter of our year ended
December 31, 2005.

(b) $2,300,000 Convertible Note Financing:
On January 28, 2005, May 23, 2005 and August 18, 2005, we issued $1,150,000,
$500,000 and $650,000, respectively of 8.0% convertible notes payable, due
January 28, 2007 plus warrants to purchase 9,200,000, 4,000,000 and 5,200,000,
respectively, shares of our common stock with a strike price of $0.129 for a
period of five years. $15,000 face value of the convertible notes was
outstanding on June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 resulting from conversions to
common stock. The convertible notes are convertible into a fixed number of our
common shares based upon a conversion price of $0.125 with anti-dilution
protection for sales of securities below the fixed conversion price. We have the
option to redeem the convertible notes for cash at 120% of the face value. The
holder has the option to redeem the convertible notes payable for cash at 120%
of the face value in the event of defaults and certain other contingent events,
including events related to the common stock into which the instrument is
convertible, registration and listing (and maintenance thereof) of our common

In our evaluation of this instrument, we concluded that the conversion feature

December 31, 2005, plus warrants to purchase 2,000,000 and 5,000,000 shares of
our common stock with strike prices of $0.25 and $1.00, respectively, for a
periods of five and two years, respectively. Net proceeds from this financing
arrangement amounted to $500,000. As of June 30, 2006, this debt is past due
and, accordingly, the outstanding carrying value of $600,000 includes $68,000 of
capitalized interest following the maturity date. The convertible notes are
convertible into a fixed number of our common shares based upon a conversion
price of $0.15 with anti-dilution protection for sales of securities below the
fixed conversion price. We have the option to redeem the convertible notes for

In our evaluation of this instrument, we concluded that the conversion feature
was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument due to
the anti-dilution protection; and it did not otherwise meet the conditions for
equity classification. Since equity classification is not available for the
conversion feature, we were required to bifurcate the embedded conversion
feature and carry it as a derivative liability, at fair value. We also concluded
that the Default Put required bifurcation because, while puts on debt
instruments are generally considered clearly and closely related to the host,
the Default Put is indexed to certain events, noted above, that are not
associated debt instruments. We combined all embedded features that required
bifurcation into one compound instrument that is carried as a component of
derivative liabilities. We also determined that the warrants did not meet the
conditions for equity classification because these instruments did not meet all
of the criteria necessary for equity classification. Therefore, the warrants are
also required to be carried as a derivative liability, at fair value.
We estimated the fair value of the compound derivative on the inception dates,
and subsequently, using the Monte Carlo Valuation technique, because that
technique embodies all of the assumptions (including credit risk, interest risk,
stock price volatility and conversion estimates) that are necessary to fair
value complex derivative instruments. We estimated the fair value of the
warrants on the inceptions dates, and subsequently, using the
Black-Scholes-Merton Valuation technique, because that technique embodies all of
the assumptions (including, volatility, expected terms, and risk free rates)
that are necessary to fair value freestanding warrants. As a result of these
estimates, our valuation model resulted in compound derivative balances of $-0-
and $42,878 as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Our value
model resulted in warrant derivative balances associated arising from the
convertible note financing of $0 and $924,120 as of June 30, 2006 and December
31, 2005, respectively. These amounts are included in Derivative Liabilities on
our balance sheet.

Interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 amounted to
approximately $3,711 and $241,052, respectively.
(f) $660,000 Convertible Note Financing:
On April 2, 2004, we issued $660,000 of 10.0% convertible notes payable, due
October 1, 2005, plus warrants to purchase 3,000,000 at $0.15 for five years.
Net proceeds from this financing arrangement amounted to $493,000. As of
December 31, 2005, this debt had face value $25,000 outstanding which amount had
been fully converted by June 30, 2006. The convertible notes were convertible
into a fixed number of our common shares based upon a conversion price of $0.10
with anti-dilution protection for sales of securities below the fixed conversion
price. We had the option to redeem the convertible notes for cash at 120% of the
face value. The holder has the option to redeem the convertible notes payable
for cash at 130% of the face value in the event of defaults and certain other
contingent events, including events related to the common stock into which the
instrument is convertible, registration and listing (and maintenance thereof) of
our common stock and filing of reports with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Default Put"). In addition, we extended registration rights to
the holder that required registration and continuing effectiveness thereof; we
are required to pay monthly liquidating damages of 2.0% for defaults under this
provision.
In our evaluation of this instrument, we concluded that the conversion feature
was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument due to

Note 6. Preferred Stock
Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of
preferred stock. We have designated this authorized preferred stock, as follows:
(a) Series H Preferred Stock:
We have designated 350,000 shares of our preferred stock as Series H Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated and liquidation value of $10.00 per
share. Series H Preferred Stock has cumulative dividend rights at 7.0% of the
stated amount, ranks senior to common stock and is non-voting. It is also
convertible into our common stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.40 per
common share. The Series H Preferred Stock is mandatorily redeemable for common
stock on the fifth anniversary of its issuance. We have the option to redeem the
Series H Preferred Stock for cash at 135% of the stated value. The holder has
the option to redeem the Series H Preferred Stock for cash at 140% of the stated
value in the event of defaults and certain other contingent events, including
events related to the common stock into which the instrument is convertible,
listing of our common stock and filing of reports with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Default Put").
Based upon our evaluation of the terms and conditions of the Series H Preferred
Stock, we concluded that it was more akin to a debt instrument than an equity
instrument, which means that our accounting conclusions are based upon those
related to a traditional debt security, and that it should afforded the
conventional convertible exemption regarding the embedded conversion feature
because the conversion price is fixed. Therefore, we are not required to
bifurcate the embedded conversion feature and carry it as a liability. However,
we concluded that the Default Put required bifurcation because, while puts on
debt-type instruments are generally considered clearly and closely related to
the host, the Default Put is indexed to certain events, noted above, that are
not associated with debt-type instruments. In addition, due to the default and
contingent redemption features of the Series H Preferred Stock, we classified
this instrument as redeemable preferred stock, outside of stockholders' equity.
Between December 2001 and March 2002, we issued 175,500 shares of Series H
Preferred Stock for cash of $1,755,000, plus warrants to purchase an aggregate
of 4,387,500 shares of common stock at $0.50 for five years. As of June 30, 2006
and December 31, 2005, 63,500 and 64,500 shares of preferred stock remain
outstanding; all of the warrants remain outstanding. We allocated $1,596,228 of
the proceeds from the Series H Preferred financings to the warrants at their
fair values because the warrants did not meet all of the conditions necessary
for equity classification and, accordingly, are carried as derivative
liabilities, at fair value. We also allocated $134,228 to the Default Puts
which, as described above are carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value..
Finally, we recorded derivative expense of $9,666 because one of the financings
did not result in sufficient proceeds to record the derivative financial
instruments at fair values on the inception date.
We estimated the fair value of the derivative warrants on the inception dates,
and subsequently, using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation technique. As a
result of applying this technique, our valuation of the derivative warrants
amounted to $840,269 and $1,264,109 as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
respectively. We estimated the fair value of the Default Puts on the inception
dates, and subsequently, using a cash flow technique that involves
probability-weighting multiple outcomes at net present values. Significant
assumptions underlying the probability-weighted outcomes included both our
history of similar default events, all available information about our business
plans that could give rise to or risk defaults and the imminence of impending or
current defaults. As a result of these subjective estimates, our valuation model
resulted in Default Put balances associated with the Series H Preferred Stock of
$502,451 and $381,377 as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
These amounts are included in Derivative Liabilities on our balance sheet. The
following table illustrates fair value adjustments that we have recorded related
to the Default Puts on the Series H Preferred Stock.

Derivative income (expense) related to the Default Put includes changes to the
fair value arising from changes in our estimates about the probability of
default events and amortization of the time-value element embedded in our
calculations. Higher derivative expense in the three and six months ended June
30, 2006, when compared to the same periods of 2005, reflected the increased
probability that the Default Put would become exercisable because we would not
timely file certain reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In
fact, we ultimately did not file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB. While the
Default Put became exercisable at that time, the holders of the Series H
Preferred Stock did not exercise their right prior to curing the event. There
can be no assurances that the holders of the Series H Preferred Stock would not
exercise their rights should further defaults arise.
The discounts to the Series H Preferred Stock that resulted from the
aforementioned allocations are being accreted through periodic charges to
paid-in capital using the effective method. The following table illustrates the

Based upon our evaluation of the terms and conditions of the Series J Preferred
Stock, we concluded that its features were more akin to a debt instrument than
an equity instrument, which means that our accounting conclusions are generally
based upon standards related to a traditional debt security. Our evaluation
concluded that the embedded conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as
a conventional convertible instrument due to certain variability in the
conversion price, and it further did not meet the conditions for equity
classification. Therefore, we are required to bifurcate the embedded conversion
feature and carry it as a liability. We also concluded that the Default Put
required bifurcation because, while puts on debt-type instruments are generally
considered clearly and closely related to the host, the Default Put is indexed
to certain events, noted above, that are not associated debt-type instruments.
We combined all embedded features that required bifurcation into one compound
instrument that is carried as a component of derivative liabilities. In
addition, due to the default and contingent redemption features of the Series J
Preferred Stock, we classified this instrument as redeemable preferred stock,
outside of stockholders' equity.
In September 2002, February 2003 and May 2003 we issued 100,000 shares, 50,000
shares and 50,000 shares, respectively, of Series J Preferred Stock for cash of
$2,000,000. We also issued warrants for an aggregate of 14,000,000 shares of our
common stock in connection with the financing arrangement. The warrants have
terms of five years and an exercise price of $0.25. We initially allocated
proceeds of $658,000 and $1,190,867 from the financing arrangements to the
compound derivative discussed above and to the warrants, respectively. Since
these instruments did not meet the criteria for classification, they are
required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value.
We estimated the fair value of the compound derivative on the inception dates,
and subsequently, using the Monte Carlo Valuation technique, because that
technique embodies all of the assumptions (including credit risk, interest risk,
stock price volatility and conversion estimates) that are necessary to fair
value complex derivative instruments. We estimated the fair value of the
warrants on the inceptions dates, and subsequently, using the
Black-Scholes-Merton Valuation technique, because that technique embodies all of
the assumptions (including, volatility, expected terms, and risk free rates)
that are necessary to fair value freestanding warrants. As a result of these
estimates, our valuation model resulted in compound derivative balances
associated with the Series J Preferred Stock of $6,014,000 and $5,628,000 as of
June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. These amounts are included in

common share. The Series K Preferred Stock is mandatorily redeemable for common
stock on the fifth anniversary of its issuance. We have the option to redeem the
Series K Preferred Stock for cash at 120% of the stated value. The holder has
the option to redeem the Series K Preferred Stock for cash at 140% of the stated
value in the event of defaults and certain other contingent events, including
events related to the common stock into which the instrument is convertible,
listing of our common stock and filing of reports with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Default Put").
Based upon our evaluation of the terms and conditions of the Series K Preferred
Stock, we concluded that it was more akin to a debt instrument than an equity
instrument, which means that our accounting conclusions are based upon those
related to a traditional debt security, and that it should afforded the
conventional convertible exemption regarding the embedded conversion feature
because the conversion price is fixed. Therefore, we are not required to
bifurcate the embedded conversion feature and carry it as a liability. However,
we concluded that the Default Put required bifurcation because, while puts on
debt-type instruments are generally considered clearly and closely related to
the host, the Default Put is indexed to certain events, noted above, that are
not associated debt-type instruments.. In addition, due to the default and
contingent redemption features of the Series K Preferred Stock, we classified
this instrument as redeemable preferred stock, outside of stockholders' equity.
In March 2004, we issued 80,000 shares of Series K Preferred Stock for cash of
$800,000. In April 2004, we issued 15,000 shares of Series K Preferred Stock to
extinguish debt with a carrying value of $150,000. At the time of these
issuances, the trading market price of our common stock exceeded the fixed
conversion price and, as a result, we allocated $160,000 and $60,000 from the
March and April issuances, respectively, to stockholders' equity which amount
represented a beneficial conversion feature. In addition, we recorded a debt
extinguishment loss of $60,000 in connection with the April exchange of Series K
Preferred Stock for debt because we estimated that it had a fair value that
exceeded the carrying value of the extinguished debt by that amount. Finally, we
allocated approximately $59,000 and $11,000 to the Default Puts, representing
fair values, in connection with the March and April issuances, respectively.

We estimated the fair value of the Default Puts on the inception dates, and
subsequently, using a cash flow technique that involves probability-weighting
multiple outcomes at net present values. Significant assumptions underlying the
probability-weighted outcomes included both our history of similar default
events, all available information about our business plans that could give rise
to or risk defaults, and the imminence of impending or current defaults. As a
result of these subjective estimates, our valuation model resulted in Default
Put balances associated with the Series K Preferred Stock of $272,250 and
$206,200 as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. These amounts
are included in Derivative Liabilities on our balance sheet. The following table
illustrates fair value adjustments that we have recorded related to the Default
Puts on the Series K Preferred Stock.

Derivative income (expense) ($62,912) ($1,256) ($66,050) ($2,513)
======== ======= ======== =======
Derivative income (expense) related to the Default Put includes changes to the
fair value arising from changes in our estimates about the probability of
default events and amortization of the time-value element embedded in our
calculations. Higher derivative expense in the three and six months ended June
30, 2006, when compared to the same periods of 2005, reflected the increased
probability that the Default Put would become exercisable because we would not
timely file certain reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In
fact, we ultimately did not file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB. While the
Default Put became exercisable at that time, the holders of the Series K
Preferred Stock did not exercise their right prior to curing the event. There
can be no assurances that the holders of the Series K Preferred Stock would not
exercise their rights should further defaults arise.
The discounts to the Series K Preferred Stock that resulted from the
aforementioned allocations are being accreted through periodic charges to
paid-in capital using the effective method. The following table illustrates the
components of preferred stock dividends and accretions for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005:

(d) Other Preferred Stock Designations and Financings:
Series A Preferred: We have designated 500,000 shares of our preferred stock as
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. There were no Series A Preferred Stock
outstanding during the periods presented.
Series B Preferred: We have designated 1,260,000 shares of our preferred stock
as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated and liquidation value of
$1.00 per share. Series B Preferred has cumulative dividend rights of 9.0%,
ranks senior to common stock and has voting rights equal to the number of common
shares into which it may be converted. Series B Preferred is convertible into
common on a share for share basis. Based upon our evaluation of the terms and
conditions of the Series B Preferred Stock, we have concluded that it meets all
of the requirements for equity classification. We have 107,440 shares of Series
B Preferred outstanding as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

Series D Preferred: We have designated 165,000 shares of our preferred stock as
Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated and liquidation
value of $10 per share. Series D Preferred has cumulative dividend rights of
6.0%, ranks senior to common stock and is non-voting. There are no shares of
Series D Preferred Stock outstanding during any of the periods reported in this
quarterly report. However, we continue to have 611,250 warrants outstanding that
were issued in connection with the original Series D Preferred Stock Financing
arrangement.
Series F Preferred: We have designated 200,000 shares of our preferred stock as
Series F Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated and liquidation value of $10
per share. There were 5,248 shares of Series F Preferred Stock outstanding as of
June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. Series F Preferred is non-voting and
convertible into common stock at a variable conversion price equal to the lower
of $0.60 or 75% of the trading prices near the conversion date. In addition, the
holder has the option to redeem the convertible notes payable for cash at 125%
of the face value in the event of defaults and certain other contingent events,
including events related to the common stock into which the instrument is
convertible, registration and listing (and maintenance thereof) of our common
stock and filing of reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Default Put"). We concluded that the conversion feature was not afforded the
exemption as a conventional convertible instrument due to variable conversion
feature and it did not otherwise meet the conditions for equity classification.
Since equity classification is not available for the conversion feature, we were
required to bifurcate the embedded conversion feature and carry it as a
derivative liability, at fair value. We also concluded that the Default Put
required bifurcation because, while puts on debt-type instruments are generally
considered clearly and closely related to the host, the Default Put is indexed
to certain events, noted above, that are not associated debt-type instruments.
These two derivative features were combined into one compound derivative
instrument. In addition, due to the default and contingent redemption features
of the Series F Preferred Stock, we classified this instrument as redeemable
preferred stock, outside of stockholders' equity.
Series I Preferred: We have designated 200,000 shares of our preferred stock as
Series I Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated and liquidation value of
$10.00 per share. Series I Preferred has cumulative dividend rights at 8.0% of
the stated value, ranks senior to common stock and is non-voting. Series I
Preferred is convertible into a variable number of common shares at the lower
conversion price of $0.40 or 75% of the trading market price. There were no
Series I Preferred Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
However, we had 30,000 shares outstanding during the six months ended June 30,
2005. We accounted for Series I Preferred Stock while it was outstanding as an
instrument that was more akin to a debt instrument. We also bifurcated the
embedded conversion feature and freestanding warrants issued with the financing
and carried these amounts as derivative liabilities, at fair value. The table
below reflects derivative income and (expense) associated with changes in the
fair value of this derivative financial instrument.

Note 7. - Share Based Payments
We have adopted certain incentive share-based plans that provide for the grant
of up to 10,397,745 stock options to our directors, officers and key employees.
As of June 30, 2006, there were 660,655 shares of common stock reserved for
issuance under our stock plans. Options granted under plans prior to May, 2005
are fully vested. Subsequent options granted are under plans which become
exercisable over two years in equal annual installments with the first third
exercisable on grant date, provided that the individual is continuously employed
by us. We did not grant options during the six months ended June 30, 2006.
On January 1, 2006, we adopted Financial Accounting Standard 123 (revised 2004),
Share-Based Payments ("FAS 123(R)") which is a revision of FAS No. 123, using
the modified prospective method. Under this method, compensation cost recognized
for the six months ended June 30, 2006 includes compensation cost for all
share-based payments modified or granted prior to but not yet vested as of,
January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with
the original provisions of FAS No. 123. Compensation cost is being recognized on
a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.
As we had previously adopted the fair-value provisions of FAS No. 123, effective
January 1, 2005, the adoption of FAS 123(R) had a negligible impact on our
earnings. We recorded compensation costs of $111,365 and $222,957 for the second
quarter and first half of 2006, respectively, and $551,810 for the second
quarter and first half of 2005. We recognized no tax benefit for share-based
compensation arrangements due to the fact that we are in a cumulative loss
position and recognize no tax benefits in our Consolidated Statement of
Operations.
As required by FAS 123(R), we estimate forfeitures of employee stock options and
recognize compensation cost only for those awards expected to vest. Forfeiture
rates are determined for two groups of employees - directors / officers and key
employees based on historical experience. We adjust estimated forfeitures to
actual forfeiture experience as needed. The cumulative effect of adopting FAS
123(R) of $17,000, which represents estimated forfeitures for options
outstanding at the date of adoption, was not material and therefore has been
recorded as a reduction of our stock-based compensation costs in Selling and
General and Administrative expenses expense rather than displayed separately as
a cumulative change in accounting principle in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) had no effect on cash flow from
operating activities or cash flow from financing activities for the six months
ended June 30, 2006.

We estimate the fair value of each stock option on the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) option-pricing formula, applying the following
assumptions and amortize that value to expense over the option's vesting period
using the straight-line attribution approach:
Second Six Months Second Six Months
Quarter ended Quarter ended
2006 * 2006 * 2005 2005

Expected volatility n/a n/a 141% 141%
Expected dividends n/a n/a 0% 0%
* No options were granted for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Expected Term: The expected term represents the period over which the
share-based awards are expected to be outstanding. It has been determined as the
midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term.
Risk-Free Interest Rate: We based the risk-free interest rate used in our
assumptions on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury
zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equivalent to the stock option award's
expected term.
Expected Volatility: The volatility factor used in our assumptions is based on
the historical price of our stock over the most recent period commensurate with
the expected term of the stock option award.
Expected Dividend Yield: We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock
for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, we use a dividend yield of zero in our
assumptions.

Certain conversion features in our debt and preferred stock are indexed to a
variable number of common shares based upon our trading stock price.
Accordingly, in the event of stock price declines, we may have insufficient
shares to share-settle all of our contracts that are convertible into or
exercisable for common stock. As a result, current accounting standards require
us to assume that we would not have sufficient authorized shares to settle these
other warrants and, therefore, reclassify other warrants and contracts that were
otherwise carried in stockholders' equity to derivative liabilities. Such
warrants and contracts that required reclassification were indexed to 48,679,688
and 47,679,688 shares of our common stock as of June 30, 2006 and December 31,

Note 11- Subsequent Events
Subsequent to June 30, 2006, we issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant
to an exercise of a warrant associated with our November 2003 convertible note
financing. The common stock underlying these notes was registered pursuant to a
registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission in 2004.
Subsequent to June 30, 2006, we issued 1,444,453 shares of common stock upon the
cashless exercise of warrants associated with certain of our convertible
preferred stock. These shares were issued to accredited investors pursuant to
Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Subsequent to June 30, 2006, we issued 168,937 shares of common stock pursuant
to a conversion of a convertible note. The shares of common stock underlying the
preferred were issued pursuant to a registration statement declared effective by
the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2004.
Subsequent to June 30, 2006, we issued 250,000 shares of common stock pursuant
to a conversion of our Series H preferred stock. The shares of common stock
underlying the preferred were issued pursuant to Regulation D.

BRAVO! FOODS INTERNATIONAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
On July 27, 2006, we entered into definitive agreements to sell $30 million
senior convertible notes that are due in 2010 to several institutional and
accredited investors in a private placement exempt from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933. The notes initially carry a 9% coupon, payable quarterly
and are convertible into shares of common stock at $0.70 per share. In 2007, the
coupon may decline to LIBOR upon the Company achieving certain financial
milestones. The notes will begin to amortize in equal, bi-monthly payments
beginning in mid-2007. We concurrently issued warrants to purchase 12,857,143
shares of common stock at $0.73 per share that expire in July 2011 to the
investors in the private placement. Under the terms of the financing, we will
sell $30 million notes, of which $15.0 million of the notes will be held in
escrow. The release of the escrowed funds will be subject to stockholder
approval. We intend to file a proxy statement seeking such shareholder approval
as soon as practical. As a result of our failure to file our June 30, 2006 Form
10QSB timely, an event of default has occurred under the terms of the Notes, and
the interest rate on the Notes, payable quarterly, was increased from 9% to 14%
per annum. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, upon the occurrence of an event
of default, holders of the Notes may, upon written notice to the Company, each
require the Company to redeem all or any portion of their Notes, at a default
redemption price calculated pursuant to the terms of the Notes. We have entered
into an Amendment Agreement with the holders of the Notes to amend the Notes in
certain respects as consideration for the holders' release of the Company's
default resulting from its delay in the filing of this quarterly report. See
Item 3 of Part II of this report, entitled "Default on Senior Securities", for a
description of the terms of the Amendment Agreement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Bravo! Foods International Corp.
North Palm Beach, Florida
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bravo! Foods
International Corp. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders'
deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Bravo! Foods International
Corp. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements,
the Company incurred a net loss of $79,528,653 for the year ended December 31,
2005 and as of that date had a working capital deficiency of $39,287,983. The
Company is also delinquent in payment of certain debts. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about their ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's actions in regard to these matters are more fully described in Note
1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company
cannot continue in existence.
As more fully described in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and
the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss,
stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years then ended, have been
restated to reflect the proper accounting for certain transactions.

BRAVO! FOODS INTERNATIONAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 -Nature of Business, Liquidity and Management's Plans and Significant
Accounting Policies
Nature of Business:
We are engaged in the sale of flavored milk products and flavor ingredients in
the United States, the United Kingdom, Central America and the Middle East, and
we are establishing an infrastructure to conduct business in Canada.
Liquidity and Management's Plans:
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we have
incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations and have a
working capital deficiency of $39,287,983 as of December 31, 2005. In addition,
we are delinquent on certain of our debt agreements at December 31, 2005, and we
have experienced delays in filing our financial statements and registration
statements due to errors in our historical accounting that have been corrected
(See Note 13). Our inability to make these filings is resulting in our
recognition of penalties to the investors, and these penalties will continue
until we can complete our filings and register the common shares into which the
investors' financial instruments are convertible. Finally, our revenues are
significantly concentrated with one major customer. The loss of this customer or
curtailment in business with this customer could have a material adverse affect
on our business. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern.
We have been dependent upon third party financings as we execute our business
model and plans. We completed a $30.0 million convertible note financing in
August 2006 that is expected to fulfill our liquidity requirements through the
end of 2006. However, $15.0 million of this financing is held in escrow, pending
approval by our shareholders of an increase in our authorized shares of common
stock. We were in default on this instrument due to the delay in filing our
quarterly financial report for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2006. As a
result, an event of default has occurred under the terms of the Notes and the
interest rate on the Notes, payable quarterly, was increased from 9% to 14% per
annum. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, upon the occurrence of an event of
default, holders of the Notes may, upon written notice to the Company, each
require the Company to redeem all or any portion of their Notes, at a default
redemption price calculated pursuant to the terms of the Notes. During September
2006, we entered into an Amendment Agreement with the holders of the Notes to
amend the Notes in certain respects as consideration for the holders' release of
the Company's default resulting from its delay in the filing of our Form 10-QSB
for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
We plan to increase our sales, improve our gross profit margins, augment our
international business and, if necessary, obtain additional financing.
Ultimately, our ability to continue is dependent upon the achievement of
profitable operations. There is no assurance that further funding will be
available at acceptable terms, if at all, or that we will be able to achieve
profitability.
The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BRAVO! FOODS INTERNATIONAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Significant Accounting Policies:
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. The most significant estimates included in our
financial statements are the following:
o Estimating future bad debts on accounts receivable that are carried at net
realizable values.
o Estimating our reserve for unsalable and obsolete inventories that are
carried at lower of cost or market.
o Estimating the fair value of our financial instruments that are required to
be carried at fair value.
o Estimating the recoverability of our long-lived assets.
We use all available information and appropriate techniques to develop our
estimates. However, actual results could differ from our estimates.
Business Segment and Geographic Information
We operate in one dominant industry segment that we have defined as the single
serve flavored milk industry. While our international business is expected to
grow in the future, it currently contributes less than 10% of our revenues, and
we have no physical assets outside of the United States.
Revenue Recognition
Our revenues are derived from the sale of branded milk products to customers in
the United States of America, Great Britain and the Middle East. Geographically,
our revenues are dispersed 98% and 2% between the United States of America and
internationally, respectively. We currently have one customer in the United
States that provided 34% and 0% of our revenue during the years ended December
31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Since we commenced business with this customer
during our fourth fiscal quarter of 2005, we expect that our revenue from this
customer will increase as a percentage of total sales in the near future.
Revenues are recognized pursuant to formal revenue arrangements with our
customers, at contracted prices, when our product is delivered to their premises
and collectibility is reasonably assured. We extend merchantability warranties
to our customers on our products but otherwise do not afford our customers with
rights of return. Warranty costs have historically been insignificant.
Our revenue arrangements often provide for industry-standard slotting fees where
we make cash payments to the respective customer to obtain rights to place our
products on their retail shelves for a stipulated period of time. We also engage
in other promotional discount programs in order to enhance our sales activities.
We believe our participation in these arrangements is essential to ensuring
continued volume and revenue growth in the competitive marketplace. These
payments, discounts and allowances are recorded as reductions to our reported
revenue. Unamortized slotting fees are recorded in prepaid expenses.
Principles of Consolidation
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bravo! Foods
International Corp. (the "Company"), and its wholly-owned subsidiary Bravo!
Brands (UK) Ltd. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated. Cumulative translation adjustments that we make to reflect the
accounts of Bravo! Brands (UK) Ltd. in United States Dollars are recorded as a
component of other comprehensive income (loss) and stockholder's equity. Foreign
currency transaction gains and losses are reported as a component of other
income (expense).

Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs incurred to deliver products to our customers are
included as a component of cost of sales. These costs amounted to approximately
$1,505,035 and $498,313 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Our accounts receivable are exposed to credit risk. During the normal course of
business, we extend unsecured credit to our customers with normal and
traditional trade terms. Typically credit terms require payments to be made by
the thirtieth day following the sale. We regularly evaluate and monitor the
creditworthiness of each customer. We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts
based on our continuing evaluation of our customers' credit risk and our overall
collection history. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the allowance of doubtful
accounts aggregated $350,000 and $90,396, respectively.
In addition, our accounts receivable are concentrated with one customer that
represents 70% and 0% of our gross accounts receivable balances at December 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively. Approximately 2% of our gross accounts receivable
at December 31, 2005 are due from international customers.
Inventories
Inventories, which consist primarily of finished goods, are stated at the lower
of cost on the first in, first-out method or market. Further, our inventories
are perishable. Accordingly, we estimate and record lower-of-cost or market and
unsalable-inventory reserves based upon a combination of our historical
experience and on a specific identification basis. During the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004, we did not provide for unsaleable inventories.
In November 2004, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard No. 151,
Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43 Chapter 4 (FAS 151), which clarifies
that inventory costs that are "abnormal" are required to be charged to expense
as incurred as opposed to being capitalized into inventory as a product cost.
FAS 151 provides examples of "abnormal" costs to include costs of idle
facilities, excess freight and handling costs and spoilage. FAS 151 will become
effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006. The adoption of FAS No.
151 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial
statements.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using 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 betterments 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.

Intangible Assets
Our intangible assets, which we record at cost, consist of our distribution
agreement with Coca-Cola Enterprises ("CCE") that we entered into during the
third fiscal quarter of 2005, our manufacturing agreement with Jasper Products,
Inc. and licenses and trademark costs with estimated lives of ten years, five
years and one-to-five years, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate the carrying value and recoverability of our long-lived assets when
circumstances warrant such evaluation by applying the provisions of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets ("FAS 144"). FAS 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.
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments, as defined in Financial Accounting Standard No. 107
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FAS 107), consist of
cash, evidence of ownership in an entity and contracts that both (i) impose on
one entity a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial
instrument to a second entity, or to exchange other financial instruments on
potentially unfavorable terms with the second entity, and (ii) conveys to that
second entity a contractual right (a) to receive cash or another financial
instrument from the first entity or (b) to exchange other financial instruments
on potentially favorable terms with the first entity. Accordingly, our financial
instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, derivative financial instruments,
convertible debt and redeemable preferred stock that we have concluded is more
akin to debt than equity.
We carry cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and
accrued liabilities at historical costs; their respective estimated fair values
approximate carrying values due to their current nature. We also carry notes
payable, convertible debt and redeemable preferred stock at historical cost;
however, fair values of debt instruments and redeemable preferred stock are
estimated for disclosure purposes (below) based upon the present value of the
estimated cash flows at market interest rates applicable to similar instruments.
As of December 31, 2005, estimated fair values and respective carrying values of
our notes payable, convertible debt and redeemable preferred stock are as
follows:

Derivative financial instruments, as defined in Financial Accounting Standard
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
(FAS 133), consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a
notional amount and one or more underlying (e.g. interest rate, security price
or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement.
Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other
financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially,
and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare
instances, assets.
We generally do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to
cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, we have entered into
certain other financial instruments and contracts, such as debt financing
arrangements, redeemable preferred stock arrangements, and freestanding warrants
with features that are either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii)
embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be
net-cash settled by the counterparty. As required by FAS 133, these instruments
are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in our
financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
See the notes referenced in the table for details of the origination and
accounting for these derivative financial instruments. We estimate fair values
of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations
thereof) that are considered to be consistent with the objective measuring fair
values. In selecting the appropriate technique, we consider, among other
factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the
expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments, such as
freestanding warrants, we generally use the Black-Scholes-Merton option
valuation technique because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions
(including trading volatility, estimated terms and risk free rates) necessary to
fair value these instruments. For complex derivative instruments, such as
embedded conversion options, we generally use the Flexible Monte Carlo valuation
technique because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including credit
risk, interest-rate risk and exercise/conversion behaviors) that are necessary
to fair value these more complex instruments. For forward contracts that
contingently require net-cash settlement as the principal means of settlement,
we project and discount future cash flows applying probability-weightage to
multiple possible outcomes. Estimating fair values of derivative financial
instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates
that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with
related changes in internal factors and external market indicators. In addition,
option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in our
trading market price which has a high-historical volatility. Since derivative
financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our
income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.
The following table summarizes the effects on our income (loss) associated with
changes in the fair values of our derivative financial instruments by type of
financing for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004:

Our derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and our derivative
loss during each of the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 is significant to
our consolidated financial statements. The magnitude of the derivative loss
during the year ended December 31, 2005 when compared with the loss for the year
ended December 31, 2004 reflects the following:
(a) During the year ended December 31, 2005, and specifically commencing in the
second quarter, the trading price of our common stock reached significantly high
levels relative to its trend. The trading price of our common stock
significantly affects the fair value of our derivative financial instruments. To
illustrate, our trading stock price at the end of the first quarter of 2005 was
$0.15 and then increased to $0.93 by the end of the second quarter. Our trading
stock price then declined to $0.61 and $0.59 at the end of the third and fourth
quarters, respectively. However, the higher stock price had the effect of
significantly increasing the fair value of our derivative liabilities and,
accordingly, we were required to adjust the derivatives to these higher values
with charges to our income. Also, due to the higher stock price commencing in
the second quarter, we experienced significant exercise and conversion activity
related to our derivative warrants and, to a lesser degree, with respect to the
embedded conversion options. Accordingly, our year end derivative liability
balances reflect, among other elements of our valuation assumptions, the higher
intrinsic values of the arrangements caused by the significant changes in our
stock price, which are offset by a smaller number of common shares indexed to
outstanding warrants due to the extraordinary level of exercise activity.

(b) During the year ended December 31, 2005, we entered into a $2,300,000 debt
and warrant financing arrangement, more fully discussed in Note 6(b). In
connection with our accounting for this financing we encountered the unusual
circumstance of a day-one loss related to the recognition of derivative
instruments arising from the arrangement. That means that the fair value of the
bifurcated compound derivative and warrants exceeded the proceeds that we
received from the arrangement and we were required to record a loss to record
the derivative financial instruments at fair value. The loss that we recorded
amounted to $8,663,869. We did not enter into any other financing arrangements
during the periods reported that reflected day-one losses.

(b) As more fully described in Notes 7(a) and 7(c) these instruments were
afforded the conventional convertible exemption, which means we did
not have to bifurcate the embedded conversion feature. However, we
were required to bifurcate certain other embedded derivatives as
discussed in the notes. Although the conversion features did not
require derivative accounting, we are required to also consider the
953,443 and 9,500,000 common shares, respectively, into which these
instruments are indexed in determining whether we have sufficient
authorized and unissued common shares for all of our share-settled
obligations.
We have entered into registration rights agreements with certain investors that
require us to file a registration statement covering shares underlying a
financing arrangement, become effective on the registration statement, maintain
effectiveness and, in some instances, maintain the listing of the underlying
shares. Certain of these registration rights agreements require our payment of
liquidating damages to the investors in the event we do not achieve the
requirements. We record estimated liquidated damages as liabilities and charges
to our income when the liquidated damages are probable and estimable under
Financial Accounting Standard No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. During the
years ended December 31 2005 and 2004, we recorded liquidated damages expense of
$303,750 and $0, respectively.

Share-Based Payments
Prior to 2005, we accounted for our stock options under the recognition and
measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related Interpretations. Effective January 1, 2005, the Company
adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123,
Accounting for Stock Based Compensation ("FAS 123"). Under the modified
prospective method of adoption selected by the Company under the provisions of
FASB Statement No. 148, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation - Transition and
Disclosure, ("FAS 148") compensation costs recognized in 2005 were the same as
that which would have been recognized had the recognition provisions of FAS 123
been applied from the options' grant dates. This is because all outstanding
options at December 31, 2004 were fully vested on that date. Consistent with the
requirements of this method of adoption, results for prior years have not been
restated. We recognized no tax benefit for share-based compensation arrangements
due to the fact that we are in a cumulative loss position and recognize no tax
benefits in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. For further information
regarding the adoption of SFAS No. 123, see Note 8 to the consolidated financial
statements.
Income Taxes
We account 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.
Loss Per Common Share
Our basic loss per common share is computed by dividing loss applicable to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common share outstanding
during the reporting period. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar
to basic loss per common share except that diluted loss per common share
includes dilutive common stock equivalents, using the treasury stock method, and
assumes that the convertible debt instruments were converted into common stock
upon issuance, if dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004
potential common shares arising from our stock options, stock warrants,
convertible debt and convertible preferred stock amounting to 108,059,082 and
126,767,057 shares, respectively, were not included in the computation of
diluted loss per share because their effect was antidilutive.

(a) On May 9, 2004 we received the proceeds of a $750,000 loan from Mid-Am
Capital, payable September 3, 2004, with an interest rate of 8%. This loan is
secured by a general security interest in all of our assets. Mid-Am has agreed
to extend the note on a demand basis.
(b) In 1999, we issued a promissory note to assume existing debt owed by our
then Chinese joint venture subsidiary to a supplier, International Paper. The
face value of that unsecured note was $282,637 at an annual interest rate of
10.5%. The note originally required 23 monthly payments of $7,250 and a balloon
payment of $159,862 due on July 15, 2000. During 2000, we negotiated an
extension of this note to July 1, 2001. International Paper imposed a charge of
$57,000 to renegotiate the note, which amount represents interest due through
the extension date. The balance due on this note is $187,743 at December 31,
2005, all of which is delinquent. Although International Paper has not pursued
collection of the note, it is possible that they could do so in the future and,
if they do, such collection effort may have a significant adverse impact on the
liquidity of the Company.
(c) On November 6 and 7, 2001 respectively, the Company received 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 on February 1, 2002 with
interest at an annual rate of 8%. These loans were secured by a general security
interest on all of the assets of the Company. These lenders had agreed to extend
the notes without default on a demand basis. Interest accrued and unpaid at
December 31, 2004 aggregated $25,380.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(a) $400,000 Convertible Note Financing
On November 20, 2003, we issued $400,000 of 8.0% convertible notes payable, due
November 20, 2005 plus warrants to purchase 14,000,000 shares of our common
stock with strike prices ranging from $0.05 to $1.00 for a period of three
years. The convertible notes had a face value outstanding of $200,000 and
$275,000 on December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively following the modification
of the underlying note agreement, extending the maturity date of the remaining
balance to November 20, 2006. The convertible notes are convertible into a
variable number of our common shares based upon a variable conversion price of
the lower of $0.05 or 75% of the closing market price near the conversion date.
The holder has the option to redeem the convertible notes payable for cash at
130% of the face value in the event of defaults and certain other contingent
events, including events related to the common stock into which the instrument
is convertible, registration and listing (and maintenance thereof) of our common
stock and filing of reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Default Put"). In addition, we extended registration rights to the holder that
required registration and continuing effectiveness thereof; we would be required
to pay monthly liquidating damages of 2.0% for defaults under this provision.
In our evaluation of this instrument, we concluded that the conversion feature
was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument due to a
variable conversion feature, and it did not otherwise meet the conditions for
equity classification. Since equity classification is not available for the
conversion feature, we were required to bifurcate the embedded conversion
feature and carry it as a derivative liability at fair value. We also concluded
that the Default Put required bifurcation because, while puts on debt
instruments are generally considered clearly and closely related to the host,
the Default Put is indexed to certain events, noted above, that are not
associated with debt instruments. We combined all embedded features that
required bifurcation into one compound instrument that is carried as a component
of derivative liabilities. We also determined that the warrants did not meet the
conditions for equity classification because, as noted above, share settlement
and maintenance of an effective registration statement are not within our
control. Therefore, the warrants are also required to be carried as a derivative
liability, at fair value.
We estimated the fair value of the compound derivative on the inception dates,
and subsequently, using the Monte Carlo Valuation technique, because that
technique embodies all of the assumptions (including credit risk, interest risk,
stock price volatility and conversion estimates) that are necessary to fair
value complex derivative instruments. We estimated the fair value of the
warrants on the inception dates, and subsequently, using the
Black-Scholes-Merton Valuation technique, because that technique embodies all of
the assumptions (including, volatility, expected terms, and risk free rates)
that are necessary to fair value freestanding warrants. As a result of these
estimates, our valuation model resulted in compound derivative balances
associated with this financing arrangement of $1,311,000 and $201,000 as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This amount is included in Derivative
Liabilities on our balance sheet. Warrants related to the financing were fully
converted prior to December 31, 2005.
The following table illustrates fair value adjustments that we have recorded
related to the derivative financial instruments associated with the $400,000
convertible note financing.

Changes in the fair value of the compound derivative and, therefore, derivative
income (expense) related to the compound derivative is significantly affected by
changes in our trading stock price and the credit risk associated with our
financial instruments. The fair value of the warrant derivative is significantly
affected by changes in our trading stock prices. Future changes in these
underlying market conditions will have a continuing effect on derivative income
(expense) associated with the remaining compound derivatives.

The aforementioned allocations to the compound and warrant derivatives resulted
in the discount in the carrying value of the notes to zero. This discount, along
with related deferred finance costs and future interest payments, are amortized
through periodic charges to interest expense using the effective method.
Interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 amounted to
approximately $88,000 and $204,000, respectively.
As noted in the introductory paragraph of this section, the holders extended the
notes one additional year to November 2006. This modification was accounted for
as an extinguishment because the present value of the amended debt was
significantly different than the present value immediately preceding the
modification. As a result of the extinguishment, the existing debt carrying
value was adjusted to fair value using projected cash flows at market rates for
similar instruments. This extinguishment resulted in our recognition of a gain
on extinguishment of $22,733 in the fourth fiscal quarter of our year ended
December 31, 2005.
(b) $2,300,000 Convertible Note Financing:
On January 28, 2005, May 23, 2005 and August 18, 2005, we issued $1,150,000,
$500,000 and $650,000, respectively of 8.0% convertible notes payable, due
January 28, 2007 plus warrants to purchase 9,200,000, 4,000,000 and 5,200,000,
respectively, shares of our common stock with a strike price of $0.129 for a
period of five years. The convertible notes had a face value outstanding of
$15,000 on December 31, 2005 resulting from conversions to common stock. The
convertible notes are convertible into a fixed number of our common shares based
upon a conversion price of $0.125 with anti-dilution protection for sales of
securities below the fixed conversion price. We have the option to redeem the
convertible notes for cash at 120% of the face value. The holder has the option
to redeem the convertible notes payable for cash at 120% of the face value in
the event of defaults and certain other contingent events, including events
related to the common stock into which the instrument is convertible,
registration and listing (and maintenance thereof) of our common stock and
filing of reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Default
Put").
In our evaluation of this instrument, we concluded that the conversion feature

underlying market conditions will have a continuing effect on derivative income
(expense) associated with these instruments.
In connection with our accounting for this financing arrangement we encountered
the unusual circumstance of a day-one loss related to the recognition of
derivative instruments arising from the arrangement. That means that the fair
value of the bifurcated compound derivative and warrants exceeded the proceeds
that we received from the arrangement and we were required to record a loss to
record the derivative financial instruments at fair value. The loss that we
recorded amounted to $8,663,869.
The aforementioned allocations to the compound and warrant derivatives resulted
in the discount in the carrying value of the notes. This discount, along with
related deferred finance costs and future interest payments, are amortized
through periodic charges to interest expense using the effective method.
Interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2005 amounted to
approximately $462,000.
(c) $600,000 Convertible Note Financing:
On June 29, 2004, we issued $600,000 of 10.0% convertible notes payable, due
December 31, 2005, plus warrants to purchase 2,000,000 and 5,000,000 shares of
our common stock with strike prices of $0.25 and $2.00, respectively, for a
periods of five and two years, respectively. Net proceeds from this financing
arrangement amounted to $500,000. As of December 31, 2005, this debt is past due
and, accordingly, the outstanding carrying value of $600,000 does not include
the $68,000 of capitalized interest, which is being reflected as accrued
liabilities. The convertible notes are convertible into a fixed number of our
common shares based upon a conversion price of $0.15 with anti-dilution
protection for sales of securities below the fixed conversion price. We have the
option to redeem the convertible notes for cash at 120% of the face value. The
holder has the option to redeem the convertible notes payable for cash at 130%
of the face value in the event of defaults and certain other contingent events,
including events related to the common stock into which the instrument is

We estimated the fair value of the compound derivative on the inception dates,
and subsequently, using the Monte Carlo Valuation technique, because that
technique embodies all of the assumptions (including credit risk, interest risk,
stock price volatility and conversion estimates) that are necessary to fair
value complex derivative instruments. We estimated the fair value of the
warrants on the inceptions dates, and subsequently, using the
Black-Scholes-Merton Valuation technique, because that technique embodies all of
the assumptions (including, volatility, expected terms, and risk free rates)
that are necessary to fair value freestanding warrants. As a result of these
estimates, our valuation model resulted in a compound derivative balance of
$564,735 and $1,446,560 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This
amount is included in Derivative Liabilities on our balance sheet.
As of December 31, 2005, all warrants related to the financing had been fully
converted.
The following table illustrates fair value adjustments that we have recorded
related to the derivative financial instruments associated with the $1,008,000
convertible note financing:

=========== =========
Changes in the fair value of the compound derivative and, therefore, derivative
income (expense) related to the compound derivative is significantly affected by
changes in our trading stock price and the credit risk associated with our
financial instruments. The fair value of the warrant derivative is significantly
affected by changes in our trading stock prices. Future changes in these
underlying market conditions will have a continuing effect on derivative income
(expense) associated with these instruments.
The aforementioned allocations to the compound and warrant derivatives resulted
in the discount in the carrying value of the notes. This discount, along with
related deferred finance costs and future interest payments, were amortized
through periodic charges to interest expense using the effective method.
Interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 amounted to
approximately $383,000 and $403,000, respectively.
(h) $360,000 Convertible Note Financing:
On April 21, 2005, we issued $360,000, six-month-term, 10% convertible notes
payable, due October 31, 2005. Net proceeds for this financing transaction
amounted to $277,488. The notes were convertible into shares of common stock at
a fixed conversion rate of $0.20, with anti-dilution protection for sales of
securities below the fixed conversion price. The holder converted the notes on
September 30, 2005. We had the option to redeem the notes payable for cash at
120% of the face value. The holder has the option to redeem the convertible
notes payable for cash at 130% of the face value in the event of defaults and
certain other contingent events, including events related to the common stock
into which the instrument is convertible, registration and listing (and
maintenance thereof) of our common stock and filing of reports with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Default Put").

BRAVO! FOODS INTERNATIONAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In our evaluation of this instrument, we concluded that the conversion feature
was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument due to
the anti-dilution protection afforded the holder; and it did not otherwise meet
the conditions for equity classification. Therefore, we were required to
bifurcate the embedded conversion feature and carry it as a derivative
liability. We also concluded that the Default Put required bifurcation because,
while puts on debt instruments are generally considered clearly and closely
related to the host, the Default Put is indexed to certain events, noted above,
that are not associated debt instruments. We combined all embedded features that
required bifurcation into one compound instrument that was carried as a
component of derivative liabilities through the date of conversion.
We allocated the initial proceeds from the financing first to the compound
derivative instrument in the amount of $113,925 and the balance to the debt host
instrument. We estimated the fair value of the compound derivative on the
inception dates, and subsequently, using the Monte Carlo Valuation technique,
because that technique embodies all of the assumptions (including credit risk,
interest risk, stock price volatility and conversion estimates) that are
necessary to fair value complex derivative instruments.

Changes in the fair value of the compound derivative and, therefore, derivative

changes in our trading stock price and the credit risk associated with our
financial instruments. Since the instrument was converted on September 30, 2005,
there will be no future charges or credits to derivative income (expense)
associated with this instrument.
The above allocations resulted in a discount to the carrying value of the notes
amounting to approximately $173,925. This discount, along with related deferred
finance costs and future interest payments, was amortized through periodic
charges to interest expense using the effective method. Interest expense during
the year ended December 31, 2005 amounted to approximately $163,000.

Note 7. Preferred Stock
Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of
preferred stock. We have designated this authorized preferred stock, as follows:
(a) Series H Preferred Stock:
We have designated 350,000 shares of our preferred stock as Series H Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated and liquidation value of $10.00 per
share. Series H Preferred Stock has cumulative dividend rights at 7.0% of the
stated amount, ranks senior to common stock and is non-voting. It is also
convertible into our common stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.40 per
common share. The Series H Preferred Stock is mandatorily redeemable for common
stock on the fifth anniversary of its issuance. We have the option to redeem the
Series H Preferred Stock for cash at 135% of the stated value. The holder has
the option to redeem the Series H Preferred Stock for cash at 140% of the stated
value in the event of defaults and certain other contingent events, including
events related to the common stock into which the instrument is convertible,
listing of our common stock and filing of reports with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Default Put").
Based upon our evaluation of the terms and conditions of the Series H Preferred
Stock, we concluded that it was more akin to a debt instrument than an equity
instrument, which means that our accounting conclusions are based upon those
related to a traditional debt security, and that it should be afforded the
conventional convertible exemption regarding the embedded conversion feature
because the conversion price is fixed. Therefore, we are not required to
bifurcate the embedded conversion feature and carry it as a liability. However,
we concluded that the Default Put required bifurcation because, while puts on
debt-type instruments are generally considered clearly and closely related to
the host, the Default Put is indexed to certain events, noted above, that are
not associated debt-type instruments. In addition, due to the default and
contingent redemption features of the Series H Preferred Stock, we classified
this instrument as redeemable preferred stock, outside of stockholders' equity.
Between December 2001 and March 2002, we issued 175,500 shares of Series H
Preferred Stock for cash of $1,755,000, plus warrants to purchase an aggregate
of 4,387,500 shares of common stock at $0.50 for five years. As of December 31,
2005, 64,500 shares of preferred stock remain outstanding; all of the warrants
remain outstanding. We allocated $1,596,228 of the proceeds from the Series H
Preferred financings to the warrants at their fair values because the warrants
did not meet all of the conditions necessary for equity classification and,
accordingly, are carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value. We also
allocated $134,228 to the Default Puts which, as described above are carried as
derivative liabilities, at fair value. We also allocated proceeds of $34,210 to
paid-in capital because the aforementioned allocations resulted in an effective
beneficial conversion feature, which is recorded in equity. Finally, we recorded
derivative expense of $9,666 because one of the financings did not result in
sufficient proceeds to record the derivative financial instruments at fair
values on the inception date.

We estimated the fair value of the derivative warrants on the inception dates,
and subsequently, using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation technique. As a
result of applying this technique, our valuation of the derivative warrants
amounted to $1,264,109 and $376,212 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. We estimated the fair value of the Default Puts on the inception
dates, and subsequently, using a cash flow technique that involves
probability-weighting multiple outcomes at net present values. Significant
assumptions underlying the probability-weighted outcomes included both our
history of similar default events, all available information about our business
plans that could give rise to or risk defaults, and the imminence of impending
or current defaults. As a result of these subjective estimates, our valuation
model resulted in Default Put balances associated with the Series H Preferred
Stock of $381,377 and $156,927 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
These amounts are included in Derivative Liabilities on our balance sheet. The

Derivative income (expense) related to the Default Put includes changes to the
fair value arising from changes in our estimates about the probability of
default events and amortization of the time-value element embedded in our
calculations. Higher derivative expense in the year ended December 31, 2005 when
compared to the same period of 2004, reflected the increased probability that
the Default Put would become exercisable because we would not timely file
certain reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In fact, we
ultimately did not file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the June 2006
reporting period on a timely basis. While the Default Put became exercisable at
that time, the holders of the Series H Preferred Stock did not exercise their
right prior to curing the event. There can be no assurances that the holders of
the Series H Preferred Stock would not exercise their rights should further
defaults arise.
The discounts to the Series H Preferred Stock that resulted from the
aforementioned allocations are being accreted through periodic charges to
retained earnings using the effective method. The following table illustrates

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Based upon our evaluation of the terms and conditions of the Series J Preferred
Stock, we concluded that its features were more akin to a debt instrument than
an equity instrument, which means that our accounting conclusions are generally
based upon standards related to a traditional debt security. Our evaluation
concluded that the embedded conversion feature was not afforded the exemption as
a conventional convertible instrument due to certain variability in the
conversion price and it further did not meet the conditions for equity
classification. Therefore, we are required to bifurcate the embedded conversion
feature and carry it as a liability. We also concluded that the Default Put
required bifurcation because, while puts on debt-type instruments are generally
considered clearly and closely related to the host, the Default Put is indexed
to certain events, noted above, that are not associated debt-type instruments.
We combined all embedded features that required bifurcation into one compound
instrument that is carried as a component of derivative liabilities. In
addition, due to the default and contingent redemption features of the Series J
Preferred Stock, we classified this instrument as redeemable preferred stock,
outside of stockholders' equity.
In September 2002, February 2003 and May 2003 we issued 100,000 shares, 50,000
shares and 50,000 shares, respectively, of Series J Preferred Stock for cash of
$2,000,000. We also issued warrants for an aggregate of 14,000,000 shares of our
common stock in connection with the financing arrangement. The warrants have
terms of five years and an exercise price of $0.25. We initially allocated
proceeds of $658,000 and $1,190,867 from the financing arrangements to the
compound derivative discussed above and to the warrants, respectively. Since
these instruments did not meet the criteria for classification, they are
required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value.
We estimated the fair value of the compound derivative on the inception dates,
and subsequently, using the Monte Carlo Valuation technique, because that
technique embodies all of the assumptions (including credit risk, interest risk,
stock price volatility and conversion estimates) that are necessary to fair
value complex derivative instruments. We estimated the fair value of the
warrants on the inception dates, and subsequently, using the
Black-Scholes-Merton Valuation technique, because that technique embodies all of
the assumptions (including, volatility, expected terms, and risk free rates)

associated with the Series J Preferred Stock of $5,628,000 and $728,000 as of
December 31, 2005 and December 31,2004, respectively. This amount is included in

events related to the common stock into which the instrument is convertible,
listing of our common stock and filing of reports with the Securities and

Based upon our evaluation of the terms and conditions of the Series K Preferred
Stock, we concluded that it was more akin to a debt instrument than an equity

related to a traditional debt security, and that it should afforded the
conventional convertible exemption regarding the embedded conversion feature

this instrument as redeemable preferred stock, outside of stockholders' equity.
In March 2004, we issued 80,000 shares of Series K Preferred Stock for cash of
$800,000. In April 2004, we issued 15,000 shares of Series K Preferred Stock to
extinguish debt with a carrying value of $150,000. At the time of these
issuances, the trading market price of our common stock exceeded the fixed
conversion price and, as a result, we allocated $160,000 and $60,000 from the
March and April issuances, respectively, to stockholders' equity which amount
represented a beneficial conversion feature. In addition, we recorded a debt
extinguishment loss of $60,000 in connection with the April exchange of Series K
Preferred Stock for debt because we estimated that it had a fair value that
exceeded the carrying value of the extinguished debt by that amount. Finally, we
allocated approximately $59,000 and $11,000 to the Default Puts, representing
fair values, in connection with the March and April issuances, respectively.
We estimated the fair value of the Default Puts on the inception dates, and
subsequently, using a cash flow technique that involves probability-weighting

is non-voting and convertible into common stock at a variable conversion price
equal to the lower of $0.60 or 75% of the trading prices near the conversion
date. In addition, the holder has the option to redeem the convertible notes
payable for cash at 125% of the face value in the event of defaults and certain
other contingent events, including events related to the common stock into which
the instrument is convertible, registration and listing (and maintenance
thereof) of our common stock and filing of reports with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Default Put"). We concluded that the conversion
feature was not afforded the exemption as a conventional convertible instrument
due to a variable conversion feature; and it did not otherwise meet the
conditions for equity classification. Since equity classification is not
available for the conversion feature, we were required to bifurcate the embedded
conversion feature and carry it as a derivative liability, at fair value. We
also concluded that the Default Put required bifurcation because, while puts on
debt-type instruments are generally considered clearly and closely related to
the host, the Default Put is indexed to certain events, noted above, that are
not associated with debt-type instruments. These two derivative features were
combined into one compound derivative instrument. In addition, due to the
default and contingent redemption features of the Series F Preferred Stock, we
classified this instrument as redeemable preferred stock, outside of
stockholders' equity.
Series I Preferred: We have designated 200,000 shares of our preferred stock as

Preferred is convertible into a variable number of common shares at the lower

no Series I Preferred Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2005. However, we had

feature and freestanding warrants issued with the financing and carried these
amounts as derivative liabilities, at fair value. The table below reflects

Note 8. - Share Based Payments
On April 6, 2005, our Board of Directors adopted an incentive share-based plan
(the "2005 Stock Incentive Plan") that provides for the grant of stock options
for up to 10,397,745 shares of our common stock to our directors, officers, key
employees, and consultants. On May 10, 2005, our Board of Directors adopted the
recommendation of our Compensation Committee to grant options for 8,922,745
shares to our directors and key employees. As of December 31, 2005, there were
1,475,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our stock plan.
Options granted under 2005 Stock Incentive Plan have a contractual life of 10
years and vest over two years in equal annual installments with the first third
exercisable on the grant date, provided that the individual is continuously
employed by us.
In years prior to 2005, we granted options for 650,000 shares to now former
employees and options for 220,000 shares to now former directors, all which are
fully vested and exercisable, under individual plans. Currently, there are no
shares reserved for future issuance under these individual plans.
We adopted the fair-value provisions of FAS No. 123, effective January 1, 2005,
and we recorded compensation costs aggregating $798,870 for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2005. We recognized no tax benefit for share-based
compensation arrangements due to the fact that we are in a cumulative loss
position and recognize no tax benefits in our Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
We estimate the fair value of each stock option on the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) option-pricing formula, applying the following
assumptions and amortize that value to expense over the options' vesting periods
using the straight-line attribution approach. In addition to the issuance of the
outstanding options discussed above, we granted options for 750,000 shares in
2004, which were part of the options for 5,395,000 shares that were exchanged
into an equivalent number of common shares in 2004, as discussed further below.

Expected Term: The expected term represents the period over which the
share-based awards are expected to be outstanding. It has been determined as the
midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term.
Risk-Free Interest Rate: We based the risk-free interest rate used in our
assumptions on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury
zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equivalent to the stock option award's
expected term.

Expected Volatility: The volatility factor used in our assumptions is based on
the historical price of our stock over the most recent period commensurate with
the expected term of the stock option award.
Expected Dividend Yield: We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock
for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, we use a dividend yield of zero in our
assumptions.

During 2004 we granted options for 750,000 shares which were cancelled and
converted into common shares. These options were part of options for 5,395,000
shares that were exchanged into an equivalent number of unregistered common
shares in 2004. In connection with such cancellation, we recorded $269,750 of
compensation expenses at the value of $.05 per each common share. This valuation
was discounted from the quoted market price of $.08 due to restrictions imposed
by insider trading and short swing profits rules on the transferability of such
shares that were issued to our directors and senior management.
In May 2005, we extended the contractual life of fully vested options for
770,000 shares held by two directors. As a result of that modification, we have
recognized, on a restated basis, additional compensation expense of $104,000 for
the second quarter of 2005
Note 9 - Stockholders' Deficit
(a) Convertible Preferred Stock
We have designated 1,260,000 shares of our preferred stock as Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock. Series B Preferred accumulates dividends at the
rate of 9% per annum, payable only upon liquidation or redemption, as a
percentage of the stated value, out of the assets and available funds. Voting
rights of the Series B Convertible Preferred stock are the same as our common
stock. Series B Convertible Preferred stock is convertible anytime after

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Certain conversion features in our debt and preferred stock are indexed to a
variable number of common shares based upon our trading stock price.
Accordingly, in the event of stock price declines, we may have insufficient
shares to share-settle all of our contracts that are convertible into or
exercisable for common stock. As a result, current accounting standards require
us to assume that we would not have sufficient authorized shares to settle these
other warrants and, therefore, reclassify other warrants and contracts that were
otherwise carried in stockholders' equity to derivative liabilities. Such
warrants and contracts that required reclassification were indexed to 49,504,688
and 47,679,688 shares of our common stock as of December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. We are not required to reclassify certain exempt contracts and
employee stock options, so those items are not included in this caption.

New Financing: April 2005 Convertible Note. On April 21, 2005, we closed a

during the five trading days immediately preceding the relevant installment due

for Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) is a partial interim closing of the
Second Tranche, which occurred prior to the anticipated effectiveness of the
SB-2 Registration Statement covering the aggregate transaction. Contemporaneous
with the May '05 Transaction, we agreed to a modification of the January 23,
2005 aggregate transaction for the substitution of Ellis International Ltd. and

=========== ============ =========== ============
Share-based payments: We improperly measured and deferred share-based payment
expense related to employee stock options that were issued commencing in the
second quarter of the year ended December 31, 2005. These adjustments, which are
reflected in operating expenses, reflect the effects of re-measurement of the
stock options and the elimination of previously deferred compensation amounts.
Deferred development costs: We improperly capitalized development costs on our
balance sheet. These adjustments reflect our revised policy that requires
development costs to be expensed as they are incurred. We record development
costs as a component of operating expenses.
Derivative income (expense): Derivative income (expense) arises from adjustments
to our derivative liabilities to carry these instruments at fair value at the
end of each reporting period. Our derivative financial instruments consist of
compound and freestanding instruments. These derivative financial instruments
arose from (i) our notes payable, convertible notes payable and preferred stock
financing transactions and (ii) the reclassification of non-exempt warrants from
stockholders' equity to derivative liabilities because share settlement is
presumed not to be within our control. We previously did not properly allocate
proceeds from our financing transactions to derivative liabilities where
applicable; nor did we reclassify our other warrants to derivative liabilities
when we presumably lost our ability to share settle such instruments.
Amortization of debt discounts and other charges: We have adjusted our notes
payable and convertible notes payable to reflect the allocation of proceeds to
derivative liabilities. These allocations have resulted in discounts to the face
value of the debt, and we are required to amortize these discounts through
periodic charges to interest expense using the effective method. The adjustments
reflect the difference between our previous method of recognizing interest
expense based upon the stated interest rate and amounts derived from the
application of the effective interest method. Other charges include gains and
losses on extinguishments of our debt instruments that have arisen when
modifications to such instruments were considered to be significant.

Liquidated damages: We have restated our consolidated financial statements to
record estimated liquidated damages that arose in connection with a registration
rights agreement, pursuant to financial accounting standard No. 5, Accounting
for Contingencies. In our previous filing, we recorded these amounts as
incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2005, we recorded liquidated
damages expense of $303,750 (none in 2004).
Investor relations charges: We entered into a contract with an investor
relations firm during 2005 that required payment in our equity securities. We
incorrectly did not recognize the value of these services until the securities
were issued. This adjustment reflects the proper recognition of the consulting
cost in general and administrative expenses and a reciprocal amount in accrued
liabilities.

========== ============ =========== ============
Intangible assets: We entered into a Master Distribution Agreement with Coca
Cola Enterprises on August 31, 2005 that provided for the issuance of 30,000,000
warrants to purchase our common stock. We originally did not value these
warrants using a proper valuation method. We have restated the intangible asset
to reflect its proper valuation. In addition, the warrants did not meet all of
the criteria for equity classification and are carried as derivative liabilities
at fair value in the amount of $14,220,657 as of December 31, 2005.
Stockholders' equity (deficit) reflects the reclassification of the original
value, the adjustments to fair value and adjusted amortization for the revised
intangible asset carrying value.
Accrued liabilities: We entered into a contract with an investor relations firm
during 2005 that required payment in our equity securities. We incorrectly did
not recognize the value of these services until the securities were issued. This
adjustment reflects the proper recognition of the consulting cost in general and
administrative expenses and a reciprocal amount in accrued liabilities.
Dividends payable: We originally reported dividends payable of $1,240,682 on
certain series of our preferred stock; it was the only non-current liability at
December 31, 2005. These dividends were not declared and, therefore, they have
been reversed against the related charges in retained earnings. In the future we
will accrue preferred stock dividends when they have been declared.
Derivative liabilities: We issued certain debt and preferred stock that embody
variable conversion rates having the effect of extending share settlement of our
share obligations beyond our control. As a result, we reclassified our other
warrants to derivative liabilities and carry them at fair value in our revised
balance sheet. Derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently
measured at fair values using techniques consistent with the risks associated
with the derivative financial instruments. Stockholders' equity (deficit)
reflects the reclassification of the original equity related to these warrants
and fair value adjustments.

BRAVO! FOODS INTERNATIONAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Notes payable and convertible notes payable: We have allocated proceeds from our
note payable, convertible note payable and preferred stock financing
transactions, where applicable, to compound and freestanding derivative
financial instruments in our restated financial statements. As noted above, we
have also re-classed certain non-exempt warrants from stockholders' equity to
derivative liabilities because share settlement is presumed not to be within our
control. In addition to the adjustments to notes payable described under
derivative financial instruments above, we have restated other notes payable to
properly reflect discounts and their carrying amounts. These adjustments
generally were made through charges to interest expense using the effective
interest method over the periods such notes were outstanding.
Preferred Stock Adjustments: We previously reported the aggregate carrying value
of $3,153,316 related to our Series F, H, J and K Preferred Stock in
stockholders' equity. We are required to carry these instruments outside of
stockholders' equity, under the caption redeemable preferred stock, because
these instruments have features where the investors' could require us to redeem
them for cash. As of December 31, 2005 the carrying value of these series of
preferred stock amounted to $2,104,500. See also Note 7.
The financial instruments issued in the original preferred stock financing
transactions included both freestanding derivatives (principally warrants) and
compound embedded derivatives (principally conversion and default put features)
that we are required to carry as derivative liabilities, and at fair values. As
of December 31, 2005, these derivative liabilities had a fair value of
$36,868,468.
The allocation of proceeds from our preferred stock financing transactions
resulted in discounts to the carrying values of the preferred stock. The
restated financial statements reflect periodic accretions of these discounts,
through charges to retained earnings, using the effective method. We also
incorrectly accrued undeclared dividends and have reversed those provisions.
The aggregate of our adjustments to preferred stock, including the periodic
(charges) and credits to derivative income (expense), resulted in a decrease in
our stockholders' equity of $1,048,816. The effects on income (loss)
attributable to these adjustments are reflected in the tables, above.
Deferred Compensation: We previously reported deferred compensation as a
component of stockholders' equity of $475,933. We have restated our balance
sheet to revalue the underlying options and properly recognize the compensation
expense amounting to $560,904 and paid in capital of $84,972.
Note 14 - Subsequent Events (UNAUDITED)
On April 13, 2006, we issued 457,125 shares of common stock pursuant to a notice

On April 28, 2006 we issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock underlying our

On May 12, 2006, we issued $2,500,000, six-month-term, 10% notes payable plus
detachable warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of our common stock with a
strike price of $0.80 for a period of five-years. Net proceeds from this
financing transaction amounted to $2,235,000. The holder has the option to
redeem the notes for cash in the event of defaults and certain other contingent
events, including events related to the common stock into which the instrument
is convertible, registration and listing (and maintenance thereof) of our common
stock and filing of reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Default Put"). We evaluated the terms and conditions of the notes and warrants
and determined that (i) the Default Put required bifurcation because it did not
meet the "clearly and closely related" criteria of FAS 133 and (ii) the warrants
did not meet all of the requisite conditions for equity classification under FAS
133. As a result, the net proceeds from the arrangement were first allocated to
the Default Put ($87,146) and the warrants ($901,665) based upon their fair
values, because these instruments are required to be initially and subsequently
carried at fair values. These instruments will be carried in our balance sheet
following the financing under the classification, Derivative Liabilities and
adjusted to fair value. The warrants and shares of common stock underlying the
warrants and notes were issued to two accredited investors in a private
placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant
Regulation D.
On May 16, 2006, we issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to an

declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2004.
On July 27, 2006, we entered into definitive agreements to sell $30 million
senior convertible notes that are due in 2010 to several institutional and
accredited investors in a private placement exempt from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933. The notes initially carry a 9% coupon, payable quarterly
and are convertible into shares of common stock at $0.70 per share. In 2007, the
coupon may decline to LIBOR upon the Company achieving certain financial
milestones. The notes will begin to amortize in equal, bi-monthly payments
beginning in mid-2007. We concurrently issued warrants to purchase 12,857,143
shares of common stock at $0.73 per share that expire in July 2011 to the
investors in the private placement. Under the terms of the financing, we will
sell $30 million notes, of which $15.0 million of the notes will be held in
escrow. The release of the escrowed funds will be subject to stockholder
approval. We intend to file a proxy statement seeking such shareholder approval
as soon as practical. As a result of our failure to file our March 31, 2006 Form
10QSB timely, an event of default has occurred under the terms of the Notes, and
the interest rate on the Notes, payable quarterly, was increased from 9% to 14%
per annum. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, upon the occurrence of an event
of default, holders of the Notes may, upon written notice to the Company, each
require the Company to redeem all or any portion of their Notes, at a default
redemption price calculated pursuant to the terms of the Notes. We have entered
into an Amendment Agreement with the holders of the Notes to amend the Notes in
certain respects as consideration for the holders' release of the Company's
default resulting from its delay in the filing of this quarterly report.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. 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:

investors in the private placement. Under the terms of the financing, we will
sell $30 million notes, of which $15.0 million of the notes will be held in
escrow. The release of the escrowed funds will be subject to stockholder
approval. We intend to file a proxy statement seeking such shareholder approval
as soon as practical. As a result of our failure to file our June 30, 2006 Form
10QSB timely, an event of default has occurred under the terms of the Notes, and
the interest rate on the Notes, payable quarterly, was increased from 9% to 14%
per annum. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, upon the occurrence of an event
of default, holders of the Notes may, upon written notice to the Company, each
require the Company to redeem all or any portion of their Notes, at a default
redemption price calculated pursuant to the terms of the Notes. We have entered
into an Amendment Agreement with the holders of the Notes to amend the Notes in
certain respects as consideration for the holders' release of the Company's
default resulting from its delay in the filing of this quarterly report.
* All of the above offerings and sales were deemed to be exempt under rule
506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities.
The offerings and sales were made to a limited number of persons, all of whom
were accredited investors, business associates of Bravo! Foods International
Corp. or executive officers of Bravo! Foods International Corp., and transfer
was restricted by Bravo! Foods International Corp. in accordance with the
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition to representations by
the above-referenced persons, we have made independent determinations that all
of the above-referenced persons were accredited or sophisticated investors, and
that they were capable of analyzing the merits and risks of their investment,
and that they understood the speculative nature of their investment.
Furthermore, all of the above-referenced persons were provided with access to
our Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
Except as expressly set forth above, the individuals and entities to whom
we issued securities as indicated in this section of the registration statement
are unaffiliated with the Company.

ITEM 28. 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) 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.
18
(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.
Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration
statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on
Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be
deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date
it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made
in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference
into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such
first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration
statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in
any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
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 October 12, 2006.
