FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         The  Company's  management  cautions  readers  that  certain  important
factors may affect the Company's  actual results and could cause such results to
differ materially from any forward-looking statements that may be deemed to have
been made in this Form 10-KSB or that are otherwise  made by or on behalf of the
Company.  For this purpose, any statements contained in the Form 10-KSB that are
not  statements  of  historical  fact  may  be  deemed  to  be   forward-looking
statements.  Without  limiting the  generality of the  foregoing,  words such as

                                     PART I


ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview

         The Children's Beverage Group is a Delaware corporation incorporated on
August  17,  1988  ("TCBG"  or  the  "Company").  TCGB  began  operating  in the
children's beverage market in March 1997. The Company's  corporate  headquarters
are  located  at 445 West  Erie,  Suite  106,  Chicago,  IL 60010.  The  Company
manufactures  and  markets  juice pouch  products  for the  children's  beverage
market,  although  production  and sales have been  discontinued  as of November
1999. The Company is pursuing avenues to re-initiate  production of its beverage
products, but no assurances can be given that production will be re-initiated.

         The Company focuses on providing low-cost juice drink products to major
supermarket  chains and mass merchandisers  throughout the United States.  Until
November 1999 when production halted, the Company contracted with a manufacturer
to make  juice  drink  pouches  and then fill the pouch with any flavor of juice
drink  requested by its customer.  The product was then shipped to the customer,
where it was sold under the private label of the customer.  The Company works in
tandem with the  customer to ensure that the  packaging,  graphic  design of the
label, and the juice flavors meet customer specifications.

Company History

         The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in
August 1988 and had no material  operations  until 1993. On March 25, 1997,  the
Company purchased all of the business and assets of a sole proprietorship  owned
by Jon A.  Darmstadter,  who was doing  business as Water  Pouch,  Inc.  ("Water
Pouch").  Water Pouch's  principal  business was  manufacturing and distributing
plastic water containers.  After purchasing Water Pouch, the Company changed its
name to The Children's  Beverage  Group,  Inc. in May 1997 and began  conducting
business in the children's beverage market.

         Subsequent to year end 1999, the Company expanded its strategy from one
of producing  private  label  beverage  products for various  retail  outlets by
capitalizing  on its patented  straw in pouch  technology by offering  long-term
licensing  of this  technology  to existing  beverage  makers.  This shift was a
result of what Management  feels is greater  opportunity and a greater chance of
achieving  profitable  operations  on a  long-term  basis.  Though a  number  of
potential customers expressed interest,  none have been willing to invest in the
technology to date.


Principal Product

         Until  November 1999,  the Company  produced all of Wal-Mart's  private
label  fruit juice pouch  product  line,  including  Great  Values and  BackPak.
BackPak was available in four  flavors,  Wild Cherry,  Fruit Punch Splash,  Slam
Dunk  Grape  and  Kickin  Orange,  and was sold in a "stand  up"  aseptic  pouch
package. Made of PET film and a foil lamentation, these packages are graphically
striking with up to six colors on each package.

         The Company's  juice pouches include a patented,  self-contained  fluid
dispensing system known as the "rip it sip it" drink system. The system consists
of a built-in  straw that is inserted  directly  into the  product-filled  pouch
during the manufacturing  process.  The straw is then accessed via a laser score
line. The consumer simply tears the film and pushes the straw up from the bottom
of the pouch.

Manufacturing

         Starting in December 1998, the Company began production,  packaging and
distribution of its beverage products at a facility located near Toronto Canada.
This facility housed three of the Company's  Volpak 240 DF machines,  which were
used to manufacture its juice products. The Company leases two of these machines
and owns the third  machine.  Due to  manufacturing  problems and believing that
this  manufacturer  had  breached its  contractual  duties,  the Company  caused
manufacturing  at this  location to cease in September  1999.  The  manufacturer
refused to allow the Company to remove its equipment and soon  thereafter  filed
for bankruptcy. The bankruptcy court sold the machines as part of the process of
liquidation.  The  company  was  unsuccessful  in its  attempts  to salvage  the
equipment. See Legal Proceedings, below.

         Until November 1999, the Company's products were produced, packaged and
distributed from an off-site  facility located in the Warrenton  Products,  Inc.
("WPI")  facility in  Warrenton,  Missouri.  This  facility  houses three of the
Company's  Volpak  240 DF  machines,  which  are used to  manufacture  its juice
products. The Company owns two of these machines and leases a third machine. The
Company  rented the space in the facility at a cost of $0.15 cents per case. The
Company  managed the  manufacture of its products in this facility.  Discussions
and negotiations with Warrenton to re-initiate  production  failed.  The Company
has filed a lawsuit in January 2000 against this  manufacturer.  WPI, with other
creditors of the Company, filed an involuntary petition for relief under Chapter
7 of the  Bankruptcy  Code against the Company which was  dismissed.  Coincident
with  the  dismissal,  WPI  and  the  Company  signed  a  Stipulation  Agreement
precluding  WPI from  taking  part in the filing of an  involuntary  petition of
bankruptcy against the Company. See Legal Proceedings, below.

         The Company had anticipated  that  manufacturing  would commence in new
facilities in late 2000 in Rochester,  New York. In February  2000,  the Company
entered into a contract for the purchase of an 80,000 square foot  manufacturing
facility  on a 7 1/2  acre  site for  $975,000.  The  purchase  was  subject  to
satisfactory  environmental  contamination  testing,  approval  by the County of
Monroe  Industrial  Development  Agency  ("CMIDA"),  and  funding  by  the  U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). Instead, funding was denied
by the City of Rochester  (New York) on behalf of CMIDA and HUD and the facility
is no longer  available under the contract.  The Company is seeking  alternative
manufacturing  facilities,  including the use of contract manufacturers,  but no
new facilities are anticipated in the foreseeable future.

New Products

         The  Company   developed  a  new  product   known  as   "Pack-A-Snack."
Pack-A-Snack  is a  prepackaged  plastic food box  containing  an  assortment of
snacks for  children,  including a 6.75 ounce juice drink pouch.  The Pack has a
12-month  shelf  life and  will be sold  directly  to  grocery  stores  and mass
merchandisers in the same manner as TCBG's juice drink products.  TCBG currently
has no contracts to distribute Pack-A-Snack.

         The Company  began  offering  its  pouch-based  technology  to existing
beverage  drink  manufacturers  ("Charter  Members")  utilizing a  manufacturing
licensing arrangement. The long history of the use of flexible pouch products in
Europe  provides a framework  for  anticipating  potential  demand in the United
States.  Utilizing its licensed patent agreement for the  "Self-Contained  Fluid
Dispensing  System" known in the trade as the "rip it sip it"(TM)  package,  the
Company is uniquely  positioned to provide an opportunity for existing  beverage
drink  producers to utilize this  technology.  The Company has  determined  that
developing   strategic   vendor   agreements   to  provide  a  "turnkey"   pouch
manufacturing solution would enhance introduction of this product.  Furthermore,
part of the Rochester  manufacturing facility would have possibly been allocated
for use as a test bed for Charter  Members to test the efficacy and  reliability
of medium-term  (approximately  six months) pouch filling  operations.  Though a
number of  potential  customers  expressed  interest,  none have been willing to
invest in the technology to date.

         Adequate  production  capacity is necessary for implementing  either or
both of  these  initiatives.  Accordingly,  since  the  Company  does  not  have
production   facilities  in  place  nor  the  financial   resources  to  open  a
manufacturing facility, these new products may never be produced.

Competition

         The market  for juice  boxes and juice  pouch  beverages  is  intensely
competitive.  The  competitive  factors  affecting  the market for the Company's
juice product include: vendor and product reputation, availability, ease of use,
product quality, price and the effectiveness of marketing and sales efforts. The
relative importance of each of these factors depends on the market segment.  The
Company's major  competitors  include Capri Sun, Hi-C Juice Drinks,  Minute Maid
Premium Juice Drinks,  Juicy Juice, Tang and MOTTS Juices. Most of the Company's
competitors  have greater  capital  resources and  experience in the  children's
beverage  industry than the Company.  There can be no assurance that the Company
will  be able to  compete  successfully  in the  children's  beverage  industry.
Competitive pressures faced by the Company could materially affect its business,
operating  results and  financial  condition.  TCBG,  however,  is continuing to
develop  private  label  packaging  opportunities  and expects  this part of the
business to increase in the next few years.


                                       4

Suppliers and Contract Manufacturers

         The supplies used in the  production  and  manufacture of the Company's
products include, but are not limited to, water, concentrates, syrups, closures,
lamination and other packaging materials.  The Company is not dependent upon any
one supplier.  Management believes that there are numerous alternative suppliers
for these  materials,  therefore the loss of a supplier is not likely to disrupt
the Company's operations.

         The  Company  relied on one  contract  manufacturer  to  produce  juice
products for its sole customer.  Production at this facility  ceased in November
1999 due to disagreements  over production  levels deemed  unsatisfactory by the
Company.  On January 28, 2000, the Company filed a lawsuit against this contract
manufacturer in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri. The
suit  alleges  that the  contract  manufacturer  has  failed to comply  with its
contract with the Company and a subsequent letter of intent between the parties,
thereby causing the Company  irreparable harm. The loss of this manufacturer has
disrupted the Company's  operations,  and is expected to continue to disrupt its
operations, until alternative manufacturing arrangements are consummated.

One Customer

         Through  November  1999,  Wal-Mart  was the  Company's  sole  customer.
Because the Company is no longer producing any juice product,  Wal-Mart may seek
other  sources for its private  label juice  products.  The Company  cannot give
assurances  that  Wal-Mart will become a customer of the Company  again,  if and
when  manufacturing  commences.  The loss of Wal-Mart as a customer would have a
material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  business,  financial  condition and
results of operations.

Patents and Trademarks

         The Company has been granted a worldwide license to use the U.S. patent
on the fluid dispensing  patent. The patent was applied for and issued to Jon A.
Darmstadter,  the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company in August
1999.  The  patent  is used in TCBG's  production  of its  juice  products.  Mr.
Darmstadter has entered into a license  agreement with the Company (the "License
Agreement")  allowing  the Company to use the patent in  exchange  for $1.00 per
year. Under the License Agreement,  the Company maintains the exclusive right to
use the patent in its  production  of juice pouch  products  for the life of the
patent (approximately 20 years). Additionally, the Company has trademark for the
"RIP IT SIP  IT."  The bond  holders  of the  Industrial  Revenue  Bonds  have a
security interest in the Company's license on this patent and on the trademark.

         Although  intellectual  property may derive the Company some value,  at
the  present  time,  management  believes  that other  factors,  such as product
innovations, are of more significance in the Company's particular industry. TCBG
avoids  infringing on patents of others by monitoring on a regular basis patents
issued with respect to food and beverage packaging.

         TCBG has applied for exclusive use of the trademark "Pack-A-Snack." The
Company has also applied for exclusive  use of the  trademark  "Cool Kid," which
may be licensed to  customers  who want the  product  produced  under this brand
name.

Government Regulation

         The manufacturing,  packaging, labeling, advertising,  distribution and
sale of TCBG's  products are subject to one or more federal  agencies  including
the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Occupational  Safety and Health Act
and various federal and state statutes regulating the production,  sale, safety,
advertising,  labeling  and  ingredients  of such  products.  The Company is not
subject  to any  state  or  federal  approvals.  To  the  best  of  management's
knowledge, the Company complies with applicable state and federal laws necessary
to operate a beverage production and distribution company.

         The  Company  intends  to  manufacture  certain  products  pursuant  to
contracts  with  customers who will  distribute  the products under their own or
other  trademarks.  Such customers are subject to the  governmental  regulations
discussed  in  this  section  in  connection  with  their  purchase,  marketing,
distribution and sale of such products,  and the Company will be subject to such
regulations in connection with the manufacture of such products and its delivery
of services to such  customers.  However,  although the Company's  customers are
independent  companies,  and their labeling,  marketing and distribution of such
products is beyond the  Company's  control,  the failure of these  customers  to
comply with applicable laws or regulations  could have a material adverse effect
on the Company.  Governmental regulations in foreign countries where the Company
plans to sell products may prevent or delay entry into the market or require the
reformulation of certain of the Company's products. Compliance with such foreign
governmental  regulations  generally will be the responsibility of the Company's
customers in those  countries.  Those customers are  independent  companies over
which the Company will have no control.


                                       5
<PAGE>

         TCBG cannot predict the impact of possible changes that may be required
in response to future legislation,  rules or inquiries made from time to time by
governmental agencies. Food and Drug Administration  regulations may, in certain
circumstances,  affect  the  ability  of the  Company,  as well as others in the
industry,  to develop and market new products.  However, TCBG does not presently
believe  that  existing  applicable  legislative  and  administrative  rules and
regulations will have a significant impact on operations.

Employees

         All production and distribution of TCBG's products have been outsourced
to contract  manufacturers.  In the future,  the Company plans on hiring its own
production and  distribution  employees in  conjunction  with the opening of its
Rochester, New York manufacturing facility, see Description of Property,  below.
As of  December  31,  2000,  the  Company  had one  full-time  employee  and one
part-time employee.

Industry Segments

         No  information  is presented as to industry  segments.  The Company is
presently solely engaged in the principal  business of manufacturing  children's
beverage products.

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

         TCBG  owns  no  real   property.   The  Company   headquarters   occupy
approximately  1,400 square feet of office space located at 445 West Erie, Suite
106,  Chicago,  IL 60010.  The Company leases this space under a  noncancellable
operating lease through January 31, 2004. Total rent for 2000 was $30,600, which
represents a prior office lease.  The future minimum rent for the remaining term
of the lease is approximately $82,400.


ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Flavorchem Corporation Dispute

         Flavorchem Corporation  ("Plaintiff") v. The Children's Beverage Group,
Inc. and Jon Darmstadter,  Case No. 98 M1-165579, filed in the Chancery Division
of the Circuit  Court of Cook  County,  Illinois in  December  1998.  Flavorchem
Corporation  is  seeking  $42,542.53,  alleging  breach of  contract  and losses
(interest)  related  thereto.  The  dispute  arises out of an alleged  breach of
contract  (entered in 1996) between Beverage Pouch Systems,  Inc. and Flavorchem
concerning certain flavoring ingredients.  The claim alleges that the Company is
legally responsible for the alleged liability associated with the aforementioned
Beverage Pouch System contract with Flavorchem.

         An  appearance  and answer  have been  filed on behalf of the  Company.
Pursuant to a Motion to Strike  Plaintiff's  Affirmative  Defenses,  the Company
filed Amended Affirmative Defenses,  which have not been answered or objected to
as of March 30, 2000. This matter was dismissed for Want of Prosecution on March
27, 2000,  but was  reinstated  on April 26, 2000.  Plaintiff  has filed a First
Request  for  Interrogatories  and  Documents.  The  matter  was  scheduled  for
discovery status on June 21, 2000, but it has been delayed due to the illness of
one of the legal representatives in this matter.

Sweet Ripe Drinks, Ltd. Dispute

         The Company had a contractual relationship with Sweet Ripe Drinks, Ltd.
("Sweet Ripe"), a Canadian company,  whereby Sweet Ripe bottled and packaged the
Company's beverage product using machinery  provided by the Company.  During the
course of dealing,  there  arose  certain  disputes  between the parties as to a
variety of  continuing  manufacturing  problems.  Believing  Sweet Ripe to be in
breach of its  contractual  duties,  having provided an opportunity to cure, the
Company  caused its bottling and packaging at Sweet Ripe to cease.  In response,
Sweet  Ripe  refused  to allow the  Company  to remove  its  machinery.  Shortly
thereafter,  Sweet Ripe filed a Notice of Intention to File a Proposal under the
Canadian  Bankruptcy  and  Insolvency  Act,  which in  effect,  caused a stay of
proceedings.  The Company  then  petitioned  a Master of the  Superior  Court of
Justice to lift the stay of  proceedings  so that the Company could proceed with
an action to recover the manufacturing equipment. In arguing against the stay of
proceedings, Sweet Ripe asserted that the Company owes approximately $700,000 to
Sweet Ripe. The Master did not agree to lift the stay of proceedings  but rather
adjourned that matter subject to any orders that the Bankruptcy Court might make
with  regard to the  matter.  The  Bankruptcy  Court  required  the  filing of a
monetary  proof of claim which was filed in late  January 2000 and the claim was
denied due to Sweet Ripe's  counterclaim.  The Company appealed that decision on
February 16, 2000. On October 25, 2000,  the Ontario  Superior  Court of Justice
issued an ORDER, which includes the following:



                                       6
<PAGE>

         This Court orders that pursuant to s. 101 of the Courts of Justice Act,
         R.S.O.  1990, c. C-43 and s. 67 of the PPSA and effective 12:01 a.m. on
         the date hereof,  Ernst & Young, Inc. (the "Receiver") be and is hereby
         appointed  receiver and manager,  without  security,  of the Equipment,
         including  any and all  rights  in and  thereto,...and  subject  to the
         provisions hereof, the Receiver is hereby empowered and authorized, but
         not obligated,  to take possession and control of the Equipment and any
         and all proceeds, receipts and disbursements arising out of or from the
         Equipment, until further order of this court,...

Additionally,

         This Court orders that the Receiver be and is hereby directed to:
         (a)      sell  or  attempt  to  sell,  by  lot or in  bulk,  all of the
                  Equipment by way of a sale by sealed tender  substantially  on
                  the terms,  conditions and provisions of the of the Invitation
                  to Tender and Conditions of Sale...
         (d)      conduct the tender sale process  substantially  in  accordance
                  with this Order, the Invitation to Tender...

The  deadline for receipt of sealed  tender  offers is set for November 20, 2000
with the closing of sale  pursuant to the tender  offers  scheduled for December
4--8, 2000.

         The equipment at issue is valued at approximately $1.6 million.  Two of
the three major pieces of equipment at issue are leased and the Company owns the
remaining   equipment.   The  Company's  outside  legal  counsel  resigned  from
representing the Company as a result of the bankruptcy petition, described later
herein. As a result of this ORDER, the Company deems it unlikely that any of the
proceeds  will be returned to the Company and has written off the  remaining net
book value of the equipment, approximately $1,369,412.

Warrenton Products, Inc. Dispute

         The Company had a contractual  relationship  with  Warrenton  Products,
Inc.  ("WPI"),  a Missouri  corporation,  whereby WPI bottled and  packaged  the
Company's beverage product using machinery  provided by the Company.  During the
course of dealing, certain disputes arose between the parties about a variety of
manufacturing  problems,  including  disagreements over production levels deemed
unsatisfactory  by the Company.  In November 1999, WPI  unilaterally  decided to
discontinue  manufacturing  the  Company's  product for its sole  customer.  The
Company contended that WPI breached its contractual  obligations to the Company.
The Company entered into a letter of intent with WPI in December 1999 that would
subsequently allow for the reinitiating of production at WPI's facilities. Based
on WPI's  unwillingness  to cure conditions as provided for in either  document,
the Company  engaged  outside legal  counsel to handle its legal  representation
with respect to any related proceedings.

         On January 28,  2000,  the Company  filed a lawsuit  against WPI in the
U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri.  Besides recovering the
damages caused by WPI's discontinuing production,  the Company has requested the
Court to release the three major pieces of the  Company's  production  equipment
located at WPI which are valued at approximately $1.5 million.  Two of the three
major  pieces of  equipment  are  owned and the  Company  leases  the  remaining
equipment.  WPI has  offered  to  release  this  equipment,  and the  Company is
negotiating a settlement amount with WPI for the release of the equipment.

         On  February  3, 2000,  WPI filed a lawsuit  against the Company in the
Circuit  Court of  Warren  County,  Missouri.  This  lawsuit  alleges  breach of
contract,  promissory estoppel and fraudulent  misrepresentation,  which alleges
damages of  approximately  $2.0 million  plus  interest and costs and also seeks
punitive damages. On June 8, 2000, the Federal Court ruled that the two lawsuits
are to be  consolidated  into one proceeding in the United States District Court
in St. Louis. As a result, the litigation pending in the Circuit Court of Warren
County  has been  removed  to  Federal  Court.  The  parties  are now  beginning
discovery.  The Company  intends to vigorously  defend against the WPI claim and
prosecute its claim.

         On  August  20,  2000,  WPI  joined  with  other  parties  in filing an
involuntary  petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy  Code against
the Company.  As explained  below, the Court dismissed this petition in an Order
entered on October 20, 2000. In a  Stipulation  attached to the Order to dismiss
the  involuntary  petition,  the  Company  waived  all  rights  relative  to the
Bankruptcy Code against WPI as a result of its filing this involuntary petition.
Furthermore,  WPI agreed not to file or to induce or encourage  the filing of an
involuntary petition against the company in the future.

Capri Sun Dispute

         In February  2000,  Capri Sun,  Inc.  and Rudolph Wild GMBH & Co. KG, a
German limited partnership,  (collectively,  the "Plaintiffs") filed a Motion to
Reinstate  Case and Enforce  Settlement  Agreement in the  Northern  District of
Illinois, old case no. 97 C 1961 (Settlement  Agreement).  The Company has filed
its response to the Motion,  and Plaintiffs'  reply was filed on March 28, 2000.
The Company has denied  three of the four alleged  breaches  raised by Capri Sun
and offers to discontinue  use of the color blue on all future press runs of its
pouches.


                                       7
<PAGE>

         On July 21, 2000, the presiding  judge in this case issued a Memorandum
Opinion and Order refusing to reinstate the case,  dismissing  Plaintiffs Motion
and denying all relief.  Specifically,  on alleged breach number 4 (above),  the
Court held that use of the color  blue by the  Company  was de  minimus  and the
Company had agreed to discontinue use of the color.

Rochester, New York Plant Offer

         In February 2000, the Company  entered into a contract for the purchase
of an  80,000  square  foot  manufacturing  facility  on a 7 1/2  acre  site for
$975,000. The purchase was subject to satisfactory  environmental  contamination
testing,  approval  by  the  County  of  Monroe  Industrial  Development  Agency
("CMIDA"),  and funding by the U.S.  Department of Housing and Urban Development
("HUD").  Instead,  funding  was denied by the City of  Rochester  (New York) on
behalf  of CMIDA  and HUD and the  facility  is no  longer  available  under the
contract. The Company is seeking alternative manufacturing facilities, including
the use of contract manufacturers,  but no new facilities are anticipated in the
foreseeable future.

Bankruptcy Petition

         On August 30, 2000, Danisco Flexible Schupbach AG ("DFS"),  P.S. Custom
Broker  ("P.S.  Custom");  Hub Group St. Louis L.P.  ("Hub City") and  Warrenton
Products,  Inc. ("WPI") (collectively,  the "Involuntary  Petitioners") filed an
involuntary  petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy  Code against
The Children's  Beverage Group, Inc. ("TCBG") (the "Involuntary  Petition").  On
September  20,  2000,  TCBG filed 'the Motion To Dismiss  seeking to dismiss the
Involuntary  Petition or to have the Court abstain from the Involuntary Petition
on the grounds that (i) the Involuntary  Petition was not properly filed because
certain of the  Involuntary  Petitioners'  claims  were  subject to a  bona-fide
dispute;  and (ii)  dismissal or abstention is in the best interest of creditors
and TCBG under  section 305 of the  Bankruptcy  Code.  On  September  22,  2000,
Specialized Metal Services,  Inc.  ("Specialized  Metal") filed a Motion To File
Joinder To Involuntary  Petition (the "Joinder Motion") and TCBG objected to the
Joinder Motion. On September 29, 2000, TCBG sent notice of the Motion To Dismiss
to all of its known  creditors.  Due and proper  notice of the Motion To Dismiss
was given and no other or further notice is required. The Court, based upon good
cause shown, had previously  shortened the twenty (20) day notice period for the
hearing on the Motion To Dismiss. A reasonable opportunity to object or be heard
regarding  the relief  requested  in the Motion to Dismiss has been given and no
objections having been made to the dismissal of the Involuntary  Petition or any
objects having being overruled.  DST, Hub City, PS Custom and Specialized  Metal
have agreed to and consent to the dismissal of the Involuntary Petition. WPI has
agreed to and consents to the dismissal of the Involuntary Petition on the terms
and  conditions  of the  Stipulation  attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  A (the "WPI
Stipulation"). Specialized Metal has agreed to withdraw the Joinder Motion. TCBG
has agreed to waive fees,  costs and damages under section 303 of the Bankruptcy
Code relating to the filing of the Involuntary Petition.

         Based upon the Motion To Dismiss and the evidence presented,  dismissal
of the  Involuntary  Petition is in the best interest of TCBG and its creditors.
Any  agreements  between any of the  Involuntary  Petitioners  and TCBG has been
adequately  disclosed to the Court. The following summary of the dismissal order
was entered on October 20, 2000:

         THE COURT ORDERED THAT:  The  Involuntary  Petition filed against TCBG,
         Case No.  00 B 25342,  is  dismissed  pursuant  to  section  305 of the
         Bankruptcy Code; The Joinder Motion is withdrawn,  with prejudice;  The
         Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this
         Order;  The  Bankruptcy  Court  shall  retain  jurisdiction  to  decide
         disputes   concerning  the  WPI  Stipulation,   its  interpretation  or
         performance of the terms and conditions of the WPI Stipulation; and All
         parties  shall  bear  there  own fees and  costs  with  respect  to the
         Involuntary Petition.

         The Company is involved in various other  litigation  incidental to its
business.  It is the opinion of management  that the outcome of such  litigation
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's  financial  position or
results of operations.



ITEM 4.   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

         On October 22, 1999,  Jon A.  Darmstadter,  the sole owner of 6,469,504
outstanding shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000  outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock (58.22% of the total votes entitled to be cast),  took action by
less than unanimous written consent of the stockholders to amend and restate the
Company's  Certificate of  Incorporation.  This amendment reduced the conversion
rate of the  Company's  Series A  Preferred  Stock  from  1-for-25  to  1-for-5.
Therefore,  on a change in control of  ownership  of the  Company,  the Series A
Preferred  Stock holder will  automatically  receive five shares of Common Stock
for each share of Preferred Stock that he holds.

PART II

ITEM 5.   MARKET PRICE FOR COMMON EQUITY AND OTHER RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS

Market Information

         Prior to the filing of its  registration  statement (Form 10-SB/A),  on
January 15, 2000,  no shares of the Company's  Common Stock had been  registered
with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission  (the  "Commission")  or any state
securities agency of authority.  The Company's Common Stock has been traded on a
limited basis in the over-the-counter market and quotations are published on the
OTC  Bulletin  Board  under the symbol  "TCBG",  and in the  National  Quotation
Bureau, Inc. "pink sheets" under The Children's Beverage Group, Inc.

         The following  table sets forth the range of high and low bid prices of
the Common Stock for each fiscal  quarterly  period.  Prices reported  represent
prices between dealers, do not include retail markups,  markdowns or commissions
and do not represent actual transactions.


                                                FISCAL YEAR
                                           1999             2000
                                       High     Low     High     Low
                                      -----    -----   -----    -----
               First Quarter          $2.97    $1.09   $0.94    $0.06
               Second Quarter         $1.59    $1.31   $0.52    $0.19
               Third Quarter          $1.97    $0.84   $0.52    $0.15
               Fourth Quarter         $1.19    $0.56   $0.35    $0.06


         The  ability of  individual  shareholders  to trade  their  shares in a
particular  state may be subject to various rules and regulations of that state.
A number of states  require that an issuer's  securities  be registered in their
state or  appropriately  exempted from  registration  before the  securities are
permitted  to  trade  in that  state.  Presently,  the  Company  has no plans to
register  its  securities  in any  particular  state.  Further,  most likely the
Company's  shares will be subject to the  provisions  of Section  15(g) and Rule
15g-9 of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange  Act"),
commonly referred to as the "penny stock" rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain
requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1)  incorporates
the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act.

         The Commission  generally defines penny stock to be any equity security
that  has a  market  price  less  than  $5.00  per  share,  subject  to  certain
exceptions.  Rule 3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be a
penny  stock  unless  that  security  is:  registered  and  traded on a national
securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the Commission; authorized
for  quotation on The NASDAQ  Stock  Market;  issued by a registered  investment
company;  excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per
share) or the issuer's net tangible  assets;  or exempted from the definition by
the Commission.  If the Company's shares are deemed to be a penny stock, trading
in the shares  will be subject to  additional  sales  practice  requirements  on
broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers
and accredited investors,  generally persons with assets in excess of $1,000,000
or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse.

         For  transactions  covered by these rules,  broker-dealers  must make a
special  suitability  determination for the purchase of such securities and must
have received the purchaser's  written  consent to the transaction  prior to the
purchase.  Additionally,  for any  transaction  involving a penny stock,  unless
exempt,  the rules require the delivery,  prior to the first  transaction,  of a
risk  disclosure  document  relating to the penny stock market.  A broker-dealer
also must disclose the  commissions  payable to both the  broker-dealer  and the
registered representative,  and current quotations for the securities.  Finally,
monthly  statements  must be sent  disclosing  recent price  information for the
penny stocks held in the account and  information on the limited market in penny
stocks. Consequently,  these rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to
trade and/or maintain a market in the Company's  Common Stock and may affect the
ability of shareholders to sell their shares.

Holders

         As of March 31, 2001,  there were  approximately  603 record holders of
the  Company's  common  stock.  This  amount  does not take into  account  those
shareholders  whose  certificates  are  held in the  name of  broker-dealers  or
otherwise in street or nominee name.

Dividend Policy

         During 1998, the Company  declared a  one-for-eight  stock dividend and
issued  2,550,030  shares of  Common  Stock.  The  Company  has never  paid cash
dividends on its capital  stock and does not intend to do so in the  foreseeable
future.  TCBG  currently  intends to retain its earnings for the  operation  and
expansion of the business.  The Company's  continued need to retain earnings for
operations and expansion are likely to limit its ability to pay dividends in the
future.

         Dividends,  if any, will be contingent upon the Company's  revenues and
earnings, if any, capital requirements and financial conditions.  The payment of
dividends,  if any,  will be within the  discretion  of the  Company's  Board of
Directors.


TRANSFER AGENT

         The Company has designated Atlas Stock Transfer  Corporation 5899 South
State Street, Ste. 24, Salt Lake City, UT 84107, as its transfer agent.


ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITIONS AND
          OPERATIONS

         The  following  discussion  of the  Company's  financial  condition and
results of operations  should be read with the Company's  financial  statements,
including the notes, included elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB.

Overview

         The Company has  experienced  recurring  losses since inception and has
negative working capital and cash flows from  operations.  For the periods ended
December 31, 1997,  1998,  1999 and 2000, the Company  experienced a net loss of
$404,972,  $1,985,420,  $6,481,421 and $5,963,462,  respectively. As of December
31, 2000, the Company has a working capital deficit of $9,467,351.

         The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon
its ability to secure additional financing,  re-initiate  production and product
sales and attain profitable  operations.  In addition,  the Company's ability to
continue  as a going  concern  must be  considered  in  light  of the  problems,
expenses and complications  frequently  encountered by entrance into established
markets and the competitive environment in which the Company operates.

         Management is pursuing  various  sources of debt and equity  financing.
Although  the  Company  plans to pursue  additional  financing,  there can be no
assurance  that the  Company  will be able to secure  financing  when  needed or
obtain  financing on terms  satisfactory to the Company.  Failure to secure such
financing  may result in the Company  continuing  the depletion of its available
funds.  Without  such funds the  Company has been would be unable to comply with
its payment obligations under its obligations to Industrial Revenue Bond holders
bank loans and with its vendors and would continue noncomplying with its payment
obligations.

         The  Company is  pursuing  avenues  to  re-initiate  production  of its
beverage  products in 2001. A U.S. contract  manufacturer,  whom the Company was
utilizing to produce its beverage products,  discontinued production in November
1999.  The  Company  has sued  this U.S.  contract  manufacturer  for  breach of
contract.  Furthermore,  seeking an alternative producer requires the release of
major pieces of the equipment.  All  Company-owned  and financed major pieces of
equipment are currently either held at the U.S.  contract  manufacturer's  plant
(three major pieces of equipment). The Company is negotiating the release of the
equipment.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to negotiate
a contract with a manufacturing  facility to produce its beverage  product as an
interim measure.  Failure to develop such an interim  manufacturing  arrangement
may result in the Company  continuing  the  depletion  of its  available  funds.
Without  such  funds the  Company  has been  unable to comply  with its  payment
obligations  under its  obligations to Industrial  Revenue Bond holders and with
its vendors and would continue noncomplying with its payment obligations.

         The  Company is in  default  on its  Industrial  Revenue  Bond  ("IRB")
obligations.  The Company last made partial payment of its bond obligation as of
June 29, 2000 and since then has not made any  additional  payments.  Since then
two  additional  required  payments have not been paid by the Company.  This has
resulted  in the  Company  being  approximately  $493,000  in arrears on its IRB
obligations.  As a result,  the Company is  technically  in default on its bonds
(principal due of $6,500,089)  which are deemed currently due and payable.  This
default   increases  the  difficulty  of  obtaining   additional   financing  or
negotiating interim manufacturing.


                                       10
<PAGE>

         The Company  closed on an  Industrial  Revenue Bond issuance in October
1999  relating to opening its own plant in Rochester,  New York (the  "Rochester
Plant").  The  Company  has lost its  rights  to the  plant  for  which it had a
purchase  contract  and  relinquished  its  right to its "good  faith"  deposits
related  thereto.  No  assurance  can be given that the Company  will be able to
arrange for production in the  foreseeable  future.  The Company is aggressively
seeking alternative interim production sources for its beverage products.

         In order to meet anticipated  expenses over the next twelve months, the
Company  intends to seek  additional  capital through the sale of common shares.
The Company is currently  registered on the OTC Bulletin  Board. No underwriter,
agent or other  person has agreed to assist the Company in  distributing  any of
its common  shares,  and no  actions  have been  taken to  ascertain  whether to
register  such  shares  under  the  Securities  Act of  1933,  as  amended  (the
"Securities  Act") or rely on exemptions  from  registration  to distribute such
shares.  No  assurance  can be  given  that  the  Company  will  be able to sell
securities or raise additional financing to meet its operating needs, or that if
available,  such sales could be effected on terms acceptable to the Company.  If
the  Company  is not able to sell  additional  securities  or  raise  additional
financing to meet its operating  expenses,  there is substantial  doubt that the
Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

         When the Company is  operating,  it expects  sales to be seasonal.  The
juice drink beverage industry generally  experiences its highest sales by volume
during the spring and summer  months and its lowest  sales by volume  during the
winter months.  As a result,  working  capital  requirements  and cash flow vary
substantially  throughout the year.  Consumer demand for products is affected by
weather conditions. Cool, wet spring or summer weather could result in decreased
sales of product  and could have an adverse  effect on the  Company's  financial
position, cash flows and results of operations.


Results of Operations

         The following selected financial  information has been derived from the
Company's  financial  statements.   The  information  set  forth  below  is  not
necessarily  indicative  of results of future  operations  and should be read in
conjunction with the financial  statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere
in this Form 10-KSB.

         The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to net sales
of principal items  contained in the Company's  Statements of Operations for the
year  ended  December  31,  1999.  Since  there were no sales for the year ended
December 31, 2000, no reasonable  basis for percentage  relationships  exist and
accordingly  none are  reflected  within the table.  Any  percentages  discussed
throughout this analysis are stated on an approximate basis.

Year Ended December 31, 2000 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1999

         Net Sales.  Net sales decreased to zero for the year ended December 31,
2000 from  $3,606,987  for the year ended December 31, 1999. The decrease in net
sales is  attributable  to the Company's  products  being  manufactured  through
co-packing  relationships in 1999 with third-party  manufacturers.  One of these
co-packers   entered  into   bankruptcy   during  1999.  The  second   co-packer
discontinued  manufacturing  the Company's  product in November 1999.  Thus, all
production for and orders from Wal-Mart, the Company's sole customer,  ceased in
November 1999.

         Cost of Sales.  Cost of sales  decreased to $214,351 for the year ended
December 31, 2000 from  $5,027,152  for the year ended  December  31, 1999.  The
decrease  in cost of  sales  is  attributable  to the  co-packing  relationships
ceasing during 1999, as described above.  Primary components of cost of sales in
1999 were co-packing fees, ingredients,  packaging,  freight costs and equipment
repairs.  The  incurrence  of  cost of  sales  in 2000  primarily  reflects  the
write-off  of  inventory  that has  exceeded its safe usage date and the cost of
packaging  which cannot be utilized as a result of  negotiated  settlement  with
Capri Sun.

         Selling,  General  and  Administrative  Expenses.  Selling  general and
administrative  expenses decreased to $1,123,146 for the year ended December 31,
2000 from  $4,160,697  for the year ended  December  31,  1999.  The decrease in
selling,  general and administrative expenses in 2000 was primarily attributable
to a decrease in sales  promotion  expense of  $2,250,000  which  related to the
sponsorship  of an Indy  Racing  League  car team  plus  approximately  $500,000
reduction in professional fees plus  approximately  $200,000 in employee related
expenses.

         Impairment of  Long-lived  Assets.  Impairment of long-lived  assets of
$517,090  was  incurred  in the year  ended  December  31,  2000  while none was
recorded  in the year ended  December  31,  1999.  This  relates to  capitalized
issuance costs and fees associated  with the issuance of the Industrial  Revenue
Bonds in October 1999 which were being  ratably  amortized  over the life of the
bonds.  As a result of the  Company's  being in default on the  payment of these
bonds,  the future value of the  unamortized  remaining  cost of these costs are
deemed impaired and were written-off in 2000.

         Loss on  Disposal  of  Equipment.  Loss on  disposal  of  equipment  of
$1,374,007  was  incurred  in the year ended  December  31,  2000 while none was
recorded in the year ended December 31, 1999.  Nearly $1,370,000 of this loss on
disposal  of  equipment  related  to the  write-off  of the net  book  value  of
equipment held by a Canadian  manufacturer who provided the Company's production
of children's  beverages during the first nine months of 1999. This manufacturer
entered  into  bankruptcy  in 1999  and  disputes  related  to  monies  that the
manufacturer deemed were owed to them resulted in the manufacturer  holding this
equipment.  An involuntary  petition for relief in the U.S.  Bankruptcy Court by
certain of the Company's creditors resulted in the Company's Canadian attorneys,
who were  handling the case,  to resign just as this matter was going before the
Ontario  Superior Court of Justice.  As a result,  counsel did not represent the
Company,  and the  equipment  was placed in  receivership  and was ordered to be
sold.  As the Company does expect to realize any of the proceeds from this sale,
the remaining net book value was written off.

         Loss on Building and Equipment Deposits Forfeited. Loss on building and
equipment  deposits  forfeited  of  $2,046,366  was  incurred  in the year ended
December 31, 2000 while none was  recorded in the year ended  December 31, 1999.
In February  2000,  the Company  entered  into a contract for the purchase of an
80,000 square foot manufacturing facility on a 7 1/2 acre site for $975,000. The
purchase  was  subject  to  satisfactory  environmental  contamination  testing,
approval by the County of Monroe Industrial  Development  Agency ("CMIDA"),  and
funding  by the U.S.  Department  of  Housing  and  Urban  Development  ("HUD").
Instead,  funding  was denied by the City of  Rochester  (New York) on behalf of
CMIDA and HUD and the facility is no longer  available under the contract.  As a
result,  the escrow deposit of $50,000 on the property was forfeited  along with
$638,800 on deposit with two equipment vendors to cover their costs on equipment
orders for the facility.  Additionally, the Company had approximately $1,357,800
down  payment  on  eight  more  additional  Volpak  production  lines  that  the
manufacturer is treating as recovery of their costs incurred and damages.

         Other  Income.  Other  income  increased  to $51,228 for the year ended
December 31, 2000 while none was  recorded in the year ended  December 31, 1999.
The increase was  attributable  to $30,000 of a good faith deposit  relinquished
from  a  potential  lender  and  the  remainder  represents  vendor  settlements
discounts  resulting from the involuntary  bankruptcy petition filed against the
Company which was dismissed.

         Interest  Income.  Interest  income  increased  to $26,808 for the year
ended  December 31, 2000 from $20,783 for the year ended  December 31, 1999. The
increase was  attributable  to higher  interest  rates on funds invested in bank
certificates  of deposit as  required  under the  Company's  bank line of credit
arrangements.


                                       12

         Interest  Expense.  Interest expense decreased to $766,538 for the year
ended  December 31, 2000 from $921,343 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The
decrease was primarily due to the one-time incurrence of approximately  $395,000
in interest  expense  related to the  conversion  of  stockholder  notes payable
during the year  ended  December  31,  1999,  plus bank loans and notes  payable
decreased  to   approximately   $92,000  at  December   31,  2000   compared  to
approximately  $998,000 at December  31,  1999 which  resulted in less  interest
expense thereon plus the discontinuance of using a factor on accounts receivable
and offset by an increase in interest expense related to the Industrial  Revenue
Bonds debt initiated in October 1999.

         Net Loss.  The Company's net loss  decreased to $5,963,462 for the year
ended  December 31, 2000 from  $6,481,421  for the year ended December 31, 1999.
The decrease in the Company's net loss was primarily  attributable to a decrease
in sales promotion expense of $2,250,000, which related to the sponsorship of an
Indy Racing  League car team in 1999, a reduction of  $1,200,000  in the loss at
the gross margin level, a reduction of nearly  $800,000 in selling,  general and
administrative  expenses,  and a reduction of approximately $150.000 in interest
expense.  These  reductions  were  offset  by the  write-offs  of  approximately
$1,375,000  related to  equipment  being sold by order of the  Ontario  Superior
Court  of  Justice  and  recorded  as  loss  on  disposal  of   equipment   plus
approximately $1,995,000 related to the forfeiture of deposits on the Rochester,
New York building and  production  equipment on order to be used in the building
on which  funding  was denied by the City of  Rochester  (New York) on behalf of
CMIDA and HUD plus  approximately  $517,000  related to impairment of long-lived
assets  resulting from the default due to nonpayment of debt service payments on
the Industrial Revenue Bonds.


Year Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1998

         Net  Sales.  Net  sales  increased  to  $3,606,987  for the year  ended
December  31, 1999 from  $145,954  for the year ended  December  31,  1998.  The
increase in net sales is attributable to the Company ceasing to be a development
stage enterprise and correspondingly  increasing  production and orders from the
Company's sole customer, Wal-Mart.

         Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased to $5,027,152 for the year ended
December  31, 1999 from  $171,268  for the year ended  December  31,  1998.  The
increase  in cost of  sales  is  attributable  to the  Company  ceasing  to be a
development  stage  enterprise  and  correspondingly  increasing  production and
orders from the Company's sole customer, Wal-Mart. Primary components of cost of
sales in 1999 were co-packing fees,  ingredients,  packaging,  freight costs and
equipment repairs.

         Selling  General  and  Administrative  Expenses.  Selling  general  and
administrative  expenses increased to $4,160,697 for the year ended December 31,
1999 from  $1,943,446  for the year ended  December 31, 1998.  The 1998 expenses
were limited to personnel,  overhead,  office  equipment and  professional  fees
incurred in formulating a business plan,  developing its marketing  strategy and
initial  sales  efforts.  The  increase in Selling  general  and  administrative
expenses in 1999 was primarily  attributable  to an increase in sales  promotion
expense of $1,200,000, which related to the sponsorship of an Indy Racing League
car team and to professional fees associated with becoming a publicly  reporting
company.

         Interest  Income.  Interest  income  increased  to $20,782 for the year
ended  December 31, 1999 from $ -0- for the year ended  December  31, 1998.  The
increase was attributable to a full year of funds invested in bank  certificates
of deposit as required under the Company's bank line of credit arrangements.

         Interest  Expense.  Interest expense increased to $921,343 for the year
ended  December 31, 1999 from $16,660 for the year ended  December 31, 1998. The
increase  was due to  increasing  bank line of credit  utilization  during 1999,
incurring  a full  year  of  interest  expense  on a  $1,180,716  capital  lease
arrangement  entered  into  late in 1998 and  covering  major  equipment  lines,
drawing down  $5,080,254  of an  Industrial  Revenue  Bond in October,  1999 and
incurring  $395,267  of  interest  expense  related to  converting  $592,900  of
stockholder notes payable into common stock with a value of $988,167.

         Net Loss.  The Company's net loss  increased to $6,481,421 for the year
ended  December 31, 1999 from  $1,985,420  for the year ended December 31, 1998.
The  increase in the  Company's  net loss  reflects  the  building of  corporate
infrastructure to support initial  manufacturing  operations and expected growth
and loss on production related to inefficiencies  related to the use of contract
manufacturers.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon
its ability to secure additional financing and attain profitable operations.  In
addition,  the  Company's  ability  to  continue  as a  going  concern  must  be
considered  in light of the  problems,  expenses  and  complications  frequently
encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive environment
in which the Company  operates.  Management  believes  that  sufficient  capital
resources will be generated from equity investment and debt financing to provide
necessary working capital for fiscal year 2001.


                                       13

         The Company's principal cash requirements are for capital  requirements
for  building  out its  Rochester,  New York plant,  funding of  ingredient  and
packaging inventory necessary to fuel beginning operations,  funding of accounts
receivable  as a  result  of  re-initiating  operations,  selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses and employee  costs.  The Company's  primary sources of
cash have been from sales of its children's beverage product which provided cash
from  operations and the proceeds from the issuance of Industrial  Revenue Bonds
designated to and supporting the build-out of the Rochester, New York plant. The
Company is  investigating  various sources for additional  financing,  including
both equity infusion and debt facility arrangements, though no representation is
made as to the  Company's  ability to secure  either forms of  financing,  or if
successful, whether may be dilutive to existing shareholders.

         The Company had only started to generate  significant revenues from its
own  operations  in the last  eleven  months of 1999,  however,  production  and
product  sales  ceased in  November  1999.  Prior to the  commencement  of these
operations,  the Company had nominal revenues due to the start-up nature of such
operations,  substantial ongoing investment in business development efforts, and
expenditures  to build the  appropriate  infrastructure  to support its expected
growth.  Consequently,  the Company  has been  substantially  dependent  on debt
financing to fund its cash requirements.

         The Company had two credit  facilities under secured notes payable with
maturity dates of July 9, 2000 and September 5, 2000, respectively.  The Company
could  borrow a maximum of  $500,000  and  $50,000,  respectively,  under  these
agreements. Borrowings were collateralized by substantially all of the Company's
assets.  Borrowings of $500,000 and $50,000,  respectively,  were outstanding on
the lines as of December 31, 1999.

         On July 19, 2000,  the Company  relinquished  the $500,000 bank line of
credit  utilizing  the  restricted  investments  of $500,000 as reflected on the
balance  sheet as of December 31, 1999 to pay off this loan.  On August 4, 2000,
the Company was forced to relinquish  it remaining  $50,000 bank line of credit.
As a result, the Company does not have any credit lines available.

         During 1999, the Company began to sell its accounts receivables under a
factoring  agreement  established  with a  financial  institution.  The  sale of
accounts  receivable  stopped  in  November  1999 due to the  discontinuance  of
production and sales in November 1999.

         The Company made a payment of 2.2 million shares of common stock valued
at $2.25 million in 1999,  related to obligations under a sponsorship  agreement
with an Indy Racing  League car team.  The  Company's  logo was displayed on the
racing team's car and provided advertising for the Company.

         Jon A. Darmstadter has made various advances against a note, payable by
the Company to him,  totaling  $965,703($222,744  in fiscal 2000 and $749,259 in
fiscal 1999,  including  interest of $65,727 and $54,259,  respectively)  due on
demand.  Interest is accrued quarterly at 12%. As of December 31, 2000, payments
of $358,987  (consisting  of principal of $86,067 in fiscal 2000 and $275,920 in
fiscal 1999 and interest of $7,860 and $25,440,  respectively)  had been made by
the Company.  Additionally,  the Company made a payment Mr.  Darmstadter  of 2.8
million  shares of common stock valued at $546,000 in 2000 in  settlement of the
then  outstanding  balance on the note  (consisting of $465,681 of principal and
$60,319 of interest). The balance as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 is $2,486 and
$447,899, respectively.

         In October 1999,  the County of Monroe  Industrial  Development  Agency
(the "Agency") issued $7.42 million of its Industrial Development Revenue Bonds,
Series 1999 (the  "Bonds")  under an  Indenture  of Trust dated as of October 1,
1999 (the "Indenture") by and between the Agency and the trustee. The Bonds were
issued by the  Agency  for the  purpose  of  providing  funds to the  Company to
finance  certain  costs in connection  with a project.  The Company has received
$6,500,089 of the bond proceeds which has an interest rate of 8.75%. The Company
has not made any of its  scheduled  interest  payments on these bonds since June
2000.

         Net cash used for the Company's  operations was $881,350 and $2,197,115
for the years ended  December 31, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The decrease in
net cash used for  operating  activities  in fiscal 2000 was  primarily due to a
smaller net loss.

         Cash used in  investing  activities  was for  purchases of property and
equipment was $675,500 and  $2,862,227 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and
1999,  respectively.  The decrease in 2000  relates  primarily to a reduction in
capital spending.

         The Company's  primary sources of liquidity have been from the issuance
of common stock and borrowings from shareholders, the bank and the proceeds from
the  Industrial  Revenue  bond  financing.   Proceeds  received  from  financing
activities were used for the Company's  operations and purchases of property and
equipment.  Net  cash  provided  by  financing  activities  was  $1,060,401  and
$5,073,180 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.
The  decrease  in 2000  reflects a  reduction  of  approximately  $3,100,000  in
Industrial  Revenue Bond proceeds in 2000 compared to 1999 and  approximately  a
$900,000 reduction in notes payable proceeds and stockholder advances.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board (FASB) issued
SFAS  No.133  (SFAS133)  "Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging
Activities",  which was amended by SFAS No. 137 and 138, issued in June 1999 and
June 2000,  respectively.  SFAS 133  established  standards for  accounting  for
derivative  instruments,  including certain derivative  instruments  embedded in
other contracts, and hedging activities.  SFAS 133, as amended, is effective for
fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 2000.  The Company does not believe that
the  adoption  of  SFAS  133  will  have a  material  effect  on  the  financial
statements.

         In March 2000,  FASB  Interpretation,  No. 44,  "Accounting for Certain
Transactions  Involving Stock Compensation-An  Interpretation of APB Opinion No.
25," (FIN 44) was issued.  FIN 44 clarifies  the  application  of APB No. 25 for
certain  stock-based  compensation  issues.  FIN 44 clarifies the  definition of
employee  for  purposes of applying  APB No. 25, the  criteria  for  determining
whether a plan qualifies as a non-compensatory plan, the accounting consequences
of various modifications to the terms of a previously fixed option or award, and
the  accounting  for an  exchange  of share  compensation  awards in a  business
combination, among other matters. FIN 44 was effective July 1, 2000, but certain
conclusions in this  interpretation  cover  specific  events that occurred after
either December 15, 1998 or January 12, 2000. The  implementation  of FIN 44 did
not  have  a  significant  impact  on  our  financial  position  or  results  of
operations.

         In  September  2000,  the FASB  issued SFAS No.  140,  "Accounting  for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and  Extinguishments of Liabilities"
(SFAS 140). SFAS 140 replaces FASB Statement No. 125,  "Accounting for Transfers
and  Servicing  of  Financial  Assets and  Extinguishment  of  Liabilities"  and
provides  accounting  and  reporting  standards  for  transfers and servicing of
financial assets and  extinguishments  of liabilities  occurring after March 31,
2001 and is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for
disclosures  relating to  securitization  transactions and collateral for fiscal
years  ending after  December  31,  2000.  The Company does not believe that the
adoption of SFAS 140 will have a material effect on the financial statements.

         In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange  Commission  (SEC) issued
Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  (SAB)  No.101,  "Revenue  Recognition  in Financial
Statements."  SAB 101  provides  the SEC Staff's  view's in  applying  generally
accepted accounting  principles to selected revenue issues. The Company does not
believe  that  the  adoption  of SAB 101  will  have a  material  effect  on the
financial statements.


INFLATION

         In the opinion of management,  inflation has not had a material  effect
on the operations of the Company.

     During 1999,  the  Company purchased machinery for $513,000 in exchange for
          common  stock  and  warrants.  Accordingly,  assets  and  equity  were
          recorded for this amount. Subsequently, the Company wrote-off $100,000
          of this amount related to the Sweet-Ripe litigation.
     During  1999,  the  Company  paid for $2,250,000 of advertising through the
          issuance of common stock. Accordingly, assets and equity were recorded
          for this amount.  The asset amount  was  ratably charged to operations
          throughout the year.
     During 2000,  the  Company  converted $546,000 of stockholder/officer notes
          payable into common stock with a value  of $546,000.  Accordingly, the
          reduction of debt was recorded with an increase to equity.

Description of Business

         The  Children's  Beverage  Group,  Inc.  (the  "Company"),  located  in
Chicago,  Illinois,  has been engaged in the  manufacture  and  distribution  of
children's  beverages to a single customer with locations  throughout the United
States.   The  Company's   products   were   manufactured   through   co-packing
relationships  with  third  party  manufacturers.  One  co-packer  entered  into
bankruptcy  during 1999 and held major equipment owned or leased by the Company.
A second co-packer discontinued production of the Company's beverage product and
also held major pieces of Company  equipment.

Basis of Presentation

         Through  December  31,  1998  the  Company  was  a  development   stage
enterprise  with minimal  operations.  During the period ended December 31, 1999
the Company ceased to be a development stage enterprise.

         The  Company's  financial  statements  are presented on a going concern
basis,  which  contemplates  the  realization  of  assets  and  satisfaction  of
liabilities in the normal course of business.

         The Company has  experienced  recurring  losses since inception and has
negative  working  capital and cash flows from  operations.  For the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 2000, the Company experienced a net loss of $6,481,421 and
$5,963,462,  respectively.  At  December  31,  2000,  the  Company has a working
capital deficit of $9,467,351.

         The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon
its ability to secure additional  financing,  reinitiate  production and sale of
its products  and attain  profitable  operations.  In  addition,  the  Company's
ability  to  continue  as a going  concern  must be  considered  in light of the
problems,  expenses and  complications  frequently  encountered by entrance into
established  markets  and the  competitive  environment  in  which  the  Company
operates

         Management is pursuing  various  sources of debt and equity  financing.
Although  the  Company  plans to pursue  additional  financing,  there can be no
assurance  that the  Company  will be able to secure  financing  when  needed or
obtain  financing on terms  satisfactory to the Company.  Failure to secure such
financing  may result in the Company  continuing  the depletion of its available
funds.  Without  such funds the  Company has been would be unable to comply with
its payment obligations under its obligations to Industrial Revenue Bond holders
bank loans and with its vendors and would continue noncomplying with its payment
obligations.

         The  Company is  pursuing  avenues  to  re-initiate  production  of its
beverage  products in 2001. A U.S. contract  manufacturer,  whom the Company was
utilizing to produce its beverage products,  discontinued production in November
1999.  The  Company  has sued  this U.S.  contract  manufacturer  for  breach of
contract.  Furthermore,  seeking an alternative producer requires the release of
major pieces of the equipment.  All  Company-owned  and financed major pieces of
equipment are currently either held at the U.S.  contract  manufacturer's  plant
(three major pieces of equipment). The Company is negotiating the release of the
equipment.  ___  There  can be no  assurance  that the  Company  will be able to
negotiate a contract  with a  manufacturing  facility  to produce  its  beverage
product as an interim measure.  Failure to develop such an interim manufacturing
arrangement may result in the Company  continuing the depletion of its available
funds. Without such funds the Company has been unable to comply with its payment
obligations  under its  obligations to Industrial  Revenue Bond holders and with
its vendors and would continue noncomplying with its payment obligations.

Summary of Accounting Policies
================================================================================

         The  Company is in  default  on its  Industrial  Revenue  Bond  ("IRB")
obligations.  The Company last made partial payment of its bond obligation as of
June 29, 2000 and since then has not made any  additional  payments.  Since then
two  additional  required  payments have not been paid by the Company.  This has
resulted  in the  Company  being  approximately  $493,000  in arrears on its IRB
obligations.  As a result,  the Company is  technically  in default on its bonds
(principal due of $6,500,089)  which are deemed currently due and payable.  This
default   increases  the  difficulty  of  obtaining   additional   financing  or
negotiating interim manufacturing.

         The financial  statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the
possible future effects on the  recoverability  and  classification of assets or
the amounts and  classification of liabilities that may result from the possible
inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Inventories

         Inventories  are stated at the lower of cost, or market,  determined on
the  first-in,  first-out  ("FIFO")  method.  At December 31, 1999,  inventories
consist primarily of raw materials.

Property, Equipment and Depreciation

         Property and  equipment  are stated at cost.  Depreciation  is computed
over the  estimated  useful  lives of the  assets  (three  to 10  years)  by the
straight-line method.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

         The carrying  amounts  reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash
equivalents,  accounts  receivable,  and accounts payable approximate fair value
because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial  instruments.
The carrying amount  reported for notes payable and long-term debt  approximates
fair value  because,  in general,  the  interest on the  underlying  instruments
approximates market rates.

Use of Estimates

         Preparation of the accompanying financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions  about current and future events that affect the reported assets
and  liabilities  and the disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities as of
the date of the financial  statements  and the reported  amounts of revenues and
costs and expenses during the reporting  period.  Actual results may differ from
those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

         The Company  recognizes  revenue and the related  costs when product is
shipped.

Advertising Costs

         Advertising  costs,  aggregating $1,005 in 2000 and $2,259,000 in 1999,
are expensed as incurred.

Taxes on Income

         Income taxes are  accounted  for using the asset and  liability  method
under  which  deferred  income  taxes  are  recognized  for  the  estimated  tax
consequences of temporary  differences  between the financial statement carrying
amounts and the tax basis of assets and  liabilities  and for the  benefits,  if
any, of tax credit or loss carryforwards. The amounts of any future tax benefits
are  reduced by a  valuation  allowance  to the  extent  such  benefits  are not
expected to be realized.

Net Loss Per Share

         Net loss per share is calculated  using the weighted  average number of
common shares outstanding during the period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board (FASB) issued
SFAS  No.133  (SFAS133)  "Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging
Activities",  which was amended by SFAS No. 137 and 138, issued in June 1999 and
June 2000,  respectively.  SFAS 133  established  standards for  accounting  for
derivative  instruments,  including certain derivative  instruments  embedded in
other contracts, and hedging activities.  SFAS 133, as amended, is effective for
fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 2000.  The Company does not believe that
the  adoption  of  SFAS  133  will  have a  material  effect  on  the  financial
statements.

         In March 2000,  FASB  Interpretation,  No. 44,  "Accounting for Certain
Transactions  Involving Stock Compensation-An  Interpretation of APB Opinion No.
25," (FIN 44) was issued.  FIN 44 clarifies  the  application  of APB No. 25 for
certain  stock-based  compensation  issues.  FIN 44 clarifies the  definition of
employee  for  purposes of applying  APB No. 25, the  criteria  for  determining
whether a plan qualifies as a non-compensatory plan, the accounting consequences
of various modifications to the terms of a previously fixed option or award, and
the  accounting  for an  exchange  of share  compensation  awards in a  business
combination, among other matters. FIN 44 was effective July 1, 2000, but certain
conclusions in this  interpretation  cover  specific  events that occurred after
either December 15, 1998 or January 12, 2000. The  implementation  of FIN 44 did
not  have  a  significant  impact  on  our  financial  position  or  results  of
operations.

         In  September  2000,  the FASB  issued SFAS No.  140,  "Accounting  for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and  Extinguishments of Liabilities"
(SFAS 140). SFAS 140 replaces FASB Statement No. 125,  "Accounting for Transfers
and  Servicing  of  Financial  Assets and  Extinguishment  of  Liabilities"  and
provides  accounting  and  reporting  standards  for  transfers and servicing of
financial assets and  extinguishments  of liabilities  occurring after March 31,
2001 and is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for
disclosures  relating to  securitization  transactions and collateral for fiscal
years  ending after  December  31,  2000.  The Company does not believe that the
adoption of SFAS 140 will have a material effect on the financial statements.

         In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange  Commission  (SEC) issued
Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  (SAB)  No.101,  "Revenue  Recognition  in Financial
Statements."  SAB 101  provides  the SEC Staff's  view's in  applying  generally
accepted accounting  principles to selected revenue issues. The Company does not
believe  that  the  adoption  of SAB 101  will  have a  material  effect  on the
financial statements.

Reclassifications

         Certain amounts in the accompanying 1999 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the 2000 presentation.

               Total                                 $1,761,276     $4,851,163
               =================================================================

On October 25, 2000,  the Ontario  Superior  Court of Justice - Commercial  List
entered an ORDER  whereby all the Company's  equipment in Canada  related to the
Sweet Ripe  dispute was placed in  receivership  with the  stipulation  that the
receiver  attempt to sell this equipment in settlement of certain claims related
to the Sweet  Ripe  bankruptcy  case over which the court has  jurisdiction.  An
involuntary  petition for relief in the U.S.  Bankruptcy Court by certain of the
Company's  creditors  resulted in the  Company's  Canadian  attorneys,  who were
handling  the case,  to resign just as this matter was going  before the Ontario
Superior Court of Justice.  As a result,  counsel did not represent the Company,
and the  equipment  was  placed  in  receivership  and was  ordered  to be sold.
Accordingly,  the  Company  deems it  unlikely  that it will  receive any of the
proceeds  of sale  and has  written-off  the  remaining  net  book  value of the
equipment,   approximately  $1,369,412.  See  note  13,  below,  for  additional
information regarding this matter.

The Company had anticipated that manufacturing  would commence in new facilities
in late 2000 in Rochester,  New York. In February 2000, the Company entered into
a contract for the purchase of an 80,000 square foot manufacturing facility on a
7 1/2  acre  site  for  $975,000.  The  purchase  was  subject  to  satisfactory
environmental contamination testing, approval by the County of Monroe Industrial
Development Agency ("CMIDA"),  and funding by the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development ("HUD").  Instead, funding was denied by the City of Rochester
(New York) on behalf of CMIDA and HUD and the  facility  is no longer  available
under the contract.  As a result,  the escrow deposit of $50,000 on the property
was forfeited along with $638,800 on deposit with two equipment vendors to cover
their costs on equipment orders for the facility.  Additionally, the Company had
approximately $1,357,800 down payment on eight more additional Volpak production
lines that the  manufacturer is treating as recovery of their costs incurred and
damages.


2.   Notes Payable - Bank

         The Company had two credit  facilities under secured notes payable with
maturity dates of July 9, 2000 and September 5, 2000, respectively.  The Company
could  borrow a maximum of  $500,000  and  $50,000,  respectively,  under  these
agreements. Borrowings were collateralized by substantially all of the Company's
assets.  Borrowings of $500,000 and $50,000,  respectively,  were outstanding on
the lines as of December 31, 1999.

On July 19, 2000,  the Company  relinquished  the  $500,000  bank line of credit
utilizing  the  restricted  investments  of $500,000 as reflected on the balance
sheet as of  December  31,  1999 to pay off this loan.  On August 4,  2000,  the
Company was forced to relinquish it remaining  $50,000 bank line of credit. As a
result, the Company does not have any credit lines available.

================================================================================

3.  Notes Payable - Stockholder

         The Company had two notes payable to a stockholder  with maturity dates
of November  10, 1999 and December  20,  1999,  respectively.  Interest was paid
periodically at 12%. The stockholder  advanced an additional $330,000 during the
first quarter of 1999.  During May 1999 the Company entered into an agreement to
convert  approximately  $592,900 of outstanding  stockholder  notes payable into
988,167  shares of common stock which were issued  during July 1999.  The common
stock had a value of $988,167. The excess value of the common stock was recorded
as interest expense at the time of conversion.

         During August 2000, the stockholder advanced $89,980. Interest will be
paid periodically at 12%. The advance is payable on demand.


4.  Notes Payable - Officer and Related Party Transactions

         The Company's  President and Chief  Executive  Officer and its majority
shareholder has made various  advances  against a note to the Company that total
$965,703($222,744 in fiscal 2000 and $749,259 in fiscal 1999, including interest
of  $65,727  and  $54,259,  respectively)  due on  demand.  Interest  is accrued
quarterly at 12%. As of December 31, 2000,  payments of $358,987  (consisting of
principal  of $86,067 in fiscal 2000 and $275,920 in fiscal 1999 and interest of
$7,860 and $25,440,  respectively)  had been made by the Company.  Additionally,
the Company made a payment Mr. Darmstadter of 2.8 million shares of common stock
valued at $546,000 in 2000 in settlement of the then outstanding  balance on the
note (consisting of $465,681 of principal and $60,319 of interest).  The balance
as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 is $2,486 and $447,899, respectively.

         During  1999,  the  Company  reimbursed  its  president  $5,500  on the
purchase of fixed assets made by him on the Company's behalf.

         The Company has been granted a worldwide license to use the U.S. patent
on the "rip it sip it" drink  system.  The patent was  applied for and issued to
Mr.  Darmstadter in August 1999. The patent is used in the Company's  production
of its juice products. In September 1999, Mr. Darmstadter entered into a license
agreement  with the  Company,  which was amended in January  2000 (the  "License
Agreement"),  the  License  Agreement  allows  the  Company to use the patent in
exchange for a $1.00 annual fee.  Pursuant to the Employment  Agreement  between
the  Company and Mr.  Darmstadter,  in the event that the control of the Company
changes,  Mr.  Darmstadter  would  receive a royalty in the amount of $0.005 per
pouch of  children's  beverage  product sold by the  Company.  Under the License
Agreement,  the Company  maintains the exclusive  right to use the patent in its
production of juice pouch products for the life of the patent  (approximately 20
years).


5.  Capital Lease Obligations

         The Company  leases  certain  machinery  and  equipment  under  capital
leases. As lessee, the Company assumes all taxes,  maintenance costs,  insurance
and other  operating  costs over the life of the lease.  During the years  ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999,  principal and interest  payments under these leases
amounted to $-0- and $430,606, respectively.

         Two of the pieces of leased equipment were held in Canada with a former
contract manufacturer who petitioned for bankruptcy protection with the Canadian
courts.  In 2000, the Company's outside legal counsel resigned from representing
the Company as a result of the involuntary bankruptcy petition,  described later
herein,  filed  against  the  Company.  As a result of an ORDER by the  Canadian
bankruptcy  court, the equipment was sold by the Court appointee  Receiver.  The
Company  deems it  unlikely  that any of the  proceeds  will be  returned to the
Company  and  has  written  off the  remaining  net  book  value  of the  leased
equipment, approximately $867,587.

6.   Industrial Revenue Bonds

         The Company, as borrower, entered into a financing arrangement with the
County of Monroe Industrial Development Agency (serving Rochester,  New York) to
issue $7,420,000 industrial development revenue bonds. The closing took place in
October,  1999 and  $4,892,224 was released and $188,030 was applied to interest
on the bonds for a total obligation of $5,080,254 outstanding as of December 31,
1999. Additionally, $1,306,799 was released and $113,036 was applied to interest
on the bonds during the year ended December 31, 2000. Thus, the total obligation
outstanding  at  December  31,  2000 was  $6,500,089.  The  bonds  have a stated
interest  rate of  8.75%  and are  payable  (net of  Capitalized  Interest  Fund
payments of $301,066 and Reserve Fund interest), as follows:

         2000     $  461,803
         2001      1,105,295
         2002      1,106,983

         2009      1,102,358
         2010      1,102,920

The bonds are collateralized by nearly all the assets of the Company.

         The  Company is in  default  on its  Industrial  Revenue  Bond  ("IRB")
obligations.  The Company last made partial payment of its bond obligation as of
June 29, 2000 and since then has not made any  additional  payments.  Since then
two  additional  required  payments have not been paid by the Company.  This has
resulted  in the  Company  being  approximately  $493,000  in arrears on its IRB
obligations.  As a result,  the Company is  technically  in default on its bonds
(principal due of $6,500,089) which are deemed currently due and payable.

         As a result of this default,  the  capitalized  issuance costs and fees
associated with the Industrial Revenue Bonds, which were being ratably amortized
over the life of the bonds,  are deemed  impaired and are being  written-off  in
2000.  The  unamortized  cost at the  determination  date of the  impairment was
$517,090.

7.       Leases

         The  Company  entered  into  a new  lease  for  office  space  under  a
noncancellable  operating lease through January 31, 2004. Total rent expense for
2000 and 1999 was $30,600 and $22,650, respectively,  which included for part of
1999 a prior office  lease under which  payments  were made on a  month-to-month
basis and for the remainder of 1999 and 2000 under a prior lease agreement which
was  effectively  cancelled  on January  31,  2001.  The future  minimum  rental
payments required under the new lease over the next four years is $82,400 broken
down as follows:

                    December 31,                          Amount
                    --------------------------------------------
                    2001                            $     24,400
                    2001                                  27,400
                    2002                                  28,200
                    2003                                   2,400
                    --------------------------------------------
                    Total                           $     82,400
                    ============================================


8.       Income Taxes

         The reasons for the  differences  between income taxes at the statutory
income tax rates and the provision  (benefit) for income taxes are summarized as
follows:


     December 31,                                   2000           1999
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------

     Income tax benefits at statutory rate     $ (2,188,000)  $ (2,593,000)
     Change in valuation allowance related to
       deferred tax benefit carryforwards      $  2,188,000   $  2,593,000
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------
     Income tax benefit                        $          -   $          -
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------

         Due to net operating losses and the uncertainty of realization,  no tax
benefit has been recognized for operating losses.

         At December 31,  2000,  net  operating  losses of  approximately  $14.3
million are available for carryforward  against future years' taxable income and
expire through the year 2020. The Company's ability to utilize its net operating
loss  carryforwards is uncertain and thus a valuation  reserve has been provided
against the Company's net deferred tax assets.

           The net deferred tax assets consist of the following:
                                                    2000             1999
           ------------------------------------------------------------------

           Net operating loss carryforwards    $  4,781,000     $  3,387,000
           Valuation allowance                   (4,781,000)      (3,387,000)
           ------------------------------------------------------------------

           Net deferred tax assets             $          -     $        -

9.    Stockholders' Equity

Common Stock Issuances
         Common stock was issued in 1999, as follows:

          a)   Sales of common stock - In  connection  with private  placements,
               the Company sold 1,450,000 shares in July 1998 for $812,000.

          b)   On September 17, 1999, the Company  entered into a Patent License
               Agreement  ("the  Agreement")  with its Chairman.  The patent was
               applied for and issued to the Company's  Chairman in August 1999.
               The Agreement provides the Company the exclusive right to use the
               U.S.  patent used in the production of the Company's  juice pouch
               products  for the  life of the  patent  in  exchange  for a $1.00
               annual fee unless a change-in- control event occurs. In the event
               that a change-in-control event occurs, the Chairman would receive
               a royalty  in the  amount  of  $0.0005  per  pouch of  children's
               beverage product sold by the Company.

          c)   On March 24, 1999, the Company issued  2,200,000 shares of common
               stock to satisfy its $2,250,000  obligations  under a sponsorship
               agreement with an Indy Racing League car team.

          d)   On  April  23,  1999,  the  Company  entered  into  a  Settlement
               Agreement  with a vendor,  under  which the  Company  issued  the
               vendor warrants to purchase 413,000 shares of common stock at par
               value in exchange for  machinery  and  equipment  with a value of
               $413,000.  In  addition,  on March 24, 1999,  the Company  issued
               100,000  shares of common stock to another  vendor as payment for
               an additional  $100,000 of machinery and equipment  which because
               of  bankruptcy  of the vendor is not deemed  recoverable  and has
               been written off.

          e)   During May 1999 the Company  entered into an agreement to convert
               approximately  $592,900 of outstanding  stockholder notes payable
               into 988,167 shares of common stock which were issued during July
               1999. The common stock had a value of approximately $988,000. The
               excess value of the common stock was recorded as interest expense
               at the time of conversion.

          f)   In November 1999, stock warrants issued to a vendor in April 1999
               were converted to 413,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

          g)   During  August  2000 the Company  entered  into an  agreement  to
               convert  and  treat  as  a  capital  contribution   approximately
               $546,000 of  outstanding  stockholder/officer  notes payable into
               2,800,000  shares  of  common  stock  which  were  issued  during
               September  2000.  The common  stock had a value of  approximately
               $546,000.


Preferred Stock

         The Series A preferred  stockholders  shall be entitled to 25 votes for
each share owned by them on all matters required or permitted to be submitted to

Board of Directors and in  liquidation  rights upon the  Company's  liquidation,
dissolution  or winding up. In the event of a change in control of the  Company,

10.    Promissory Note and Common Stock Collateral

During March, 2000, the Company negotiated a Promissory Note arrangement whereby
the lender  promised to provide debt  financing  of up to  $750,000,  payable by
March 12, 2001, at an interest rate of 12%. This  Promissory Note called for the
issuance  of  5,000,000  shares of the  Company's  common  stock  into an escrow
account for the benefit of the lender to act as collateral  ("Collateral") which
was issued at that time. The Collateral was to be returned upon repayment of all
principal  and  interest.  As of  December  31,  2000,  no funds had been issued
against the Promissory  Note. The Company began working with the Escrow Agent to
return the Collateral.

In August,  2000,  the lender paid the Company  $30,000 as "Good Faith"  earnest
money in  conjunction  with his proposed  purchase of the largest  shareholder's
stock holdings.  The lender did not make the additional "Good Faith" payments as
required by his agreement with the Company, and accordingly, he relinquished any
rights he might have to consummating  the purchase of the  shareholder's  stock.
The $30,000 has been recorded as other income.


11.    Common Stock Issued and Outstanding

         The Company has  250,000,000  shares of $.0001 par value  common  stock
authorized.  As of  December  31,  2000,  37,262,504  are  shown as  issued  and
outstanding, but 5,000,000 shares were issued as collateral against a Promissory
Note, as described in Note 10, above,  which represented a contingent  issuance.
The Company is working with the escrow agent and the potential lender's attorney
for the  return of these  shares  issued as  collateral.  Accordingly,  only the
remaining  32,262,504  shares of common  stock  will be  treated  as issued  and
outstanding  common  stock as of  December  31,  2000 for  accounting  purposes,
including the  determination  of weighted  average common stock  outstanding for
determining  basic and diluted  net loss per share.  As of  December  31,  1999,
29,049,504 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.


12.    Stock Options

         In  February  2000,  the  Company  initiated  a Stock  Option Plan (the
"Plan") that provides the ability to issue up to five million (5,000,000) of the
Company's   common   stock  to  its   employees,   directors   or  key   service
providers/consultants with an exercise price above fair market value, as defined
in the Plan, at the date of grant. In conjunction with the Plan's adoption,  the
board of directors  approved the grant of incentive stock options,  representing
2,033,200 shares of common stock, to all officers and full-time employees. These
options  began  vesting  within six (6) months after  issuance and will be fully
vested at the  second  anniversary  date of their  grant,  so long as the option
holder  remains an employee  of the  Company.  These  issued  options  expire in
February  2005 and are  exercisable  at prices  ranging  from $0.62 to $0.68 per
share. As a result of the involuntary  bankruptcy  petition  against the Company
(described  in  Note  2,  above),  payment  of  employees  by  the  Company  was
discontinued  as of the week  ending  September  29,  2000 and their  employment
status relative the granted stock options is unclear.


13.    Commitments and Contingencies

Sweet Ripe Drinks, Ltd. Dispute

         The Company had a contractual relationship with Sweet Ripe Drinks, Ltd.
("Sweet Ripe"), a Canadian company,  whereby Sweet Ripe bottled and packaged the
Company's beverage product using machinery  provided by the Company.  During the
course of dealing,  there  arose  certain  disputes  between the parties as to a
variety of  continuing  manufacturing  problems.  Believing  Sweet Ripe to be in
breach of its  contractual  duties,  having provided an opportunity to cure, the
Company  caused its bottling and packaging at Sweet Ripe to cease.  In response,
Sweet Ripe refused to

================================================================================

allow the Company to remove its machinery.  Shortly thereafter, Sweet Ripe filed
a Notice of  Intention  to File a Proposal  under the  Canadian  Bankruptcy  and
Insolvency Act, which in effect, caused a stay of proceedings.  The Company then
petitioned  a  Master  of the  Superior  Court  of  Justice  to lift the stay of
proceedings  so that the  Company  could  proceed  with an action to recover the
manufacturing equipment. In arguing against the stay of proceedings,  Sweet Ripe
asserted that the Company owes approximately  $700,000 to Sweet Ripe. The Master
did not agree to lift the stay of proceedings  but rather  adjourned that matter
subject to any orders  that the  Bankruptcy  Court might make with regard to the
matter.  The  Bankruptcy  Court required the filing of a monetary proof of claim
which was filed in late  January  2000 and the  claim  was  denied  due to Sweet
Ripe's counterclaim. The Company appealed that decision on February 16, 2000. On
October 25, 2000, the Ontario  Superior Court of Justice issued an ORDER,  which
includes the following:

         This Court orders that pursuant to s. 101 of the Courts of Justice Act,
         R.S.O.  1990, c. C-43 and s. 67 of the PPSA and effective 12:01 a.m. on
         the date hereof,  Ernst & Young, Inc. (the "Receiver") be and is hereby
         appointed  receiver and manager,  without  security,  of the Equipment,
         including  any and all  rights  in and  thereto,...and  subject  to the
         provisions hereof, the Receiver is hereby empowered and authorized, but
         not obligated,  to take possession and control of the Equipment and any
         and all proceeds, receipts and disbursements arising out of or from the
         Equipment, until further order of this court,...

Additionally,

         This Court orders that the Receiver be and is hereby directed to:
         (b)      sell  or  attempt  to  sell,  by  lot or en  bolc,  all of the
                  Equipment by way of a sale by sealed tender  substantially  on
                  the terms,  conditions and provisions of the of the Invitation
                  to Tender and Conditions of Sale...
         (d)      conduct the tender sale process  substantially  in  accordance
                  with this Order, the Invitation to Tender...

The  deadline for receipt of sealed  tender  offers is set for November 20, 2000
with the closing of sale  pursuant to the tender  offers  scheduled for December
4--8, 2000.

         The equipment at issue is valued at approximately $1.6 million.  Two of
the three  major  pieces of  equipment  at issue are  leased  and the  remaining
equipment is owned by the  Company.  The  Company's  has engaged  outside  legal
counsel  resigned from  representing  the Company as a result of the  bankruptcy
petition,  described later herein.  As a result of this ORDER, the Company deems
it  unlikely  that any of the  proceeds  will be returned to the Company and has
written  off the  remaining  net  book  value  of the  equipment,  approximately
$1,369,412.

Warrenton Products, Inc. Dispute

         The Company had a contractual  relationship  with  Warrenton  Products,
Inc.  ("WPI"),  a Missouri  corporation,  whereby WPI bottled and  packaged  the
Company's beverage product using machinery  provided by the Company.  During the
course of dealing, certain disputes arose between the parties about a variety of
manufacturing  problems,  including  disagreements over production levels deemed
unsatisfactory  by the Company.  In November 1999, WPI  unilaterally  decided to
discontinue  manufacturing  the  Company's  product for its sole  customer.  The
Company contended that WPI breached its contractual  obligations to the Company.
The Company entered into a letter of intent with WPI in December 1999 that would
subsequently allow for the reinitiating of production at WPI's facilities. Based
on WPI's  unwillingness  to cure conditions as provided for in either  document,
the Company  engaged  outside legal  counsel to handle its legal  representation
with respect to any related proceedings.

On  January  28,  2000,  the  Company  filed a lawsuit  against  WPI in the U.S.
District  Court in the Eastern  District of  Missouri.  Besides  recovering  the
damages caused by WPI's discontinuing production,  the Company has requested the
Court to release the three major pieces of the  Company's  production  equipment
located at WPI

================================================================================

which are valued at approximately $1.5 million. Two of the three major pieces of
equipment  are owned and the remaining  equipment is leased by the Company.  WPI
has  offered  to release  this  equipment,  and the  Company  is  negotiating  a
settlement amount with WPI for the release of the equipment.

         On  February  3, 2000,  WPI filed a lawsuit  against the Company in the
Circuit  Court of  Warren  County,  Missouri.  This  lawsuit  alleges  breach of
contract,  promissory estoppel and fraudulent  misrepresentation,  which alleges
damages of  approximately  $2.0 million  plus  interest and costs and also seeks
punitive damages. On June 8, 2000, the Federal Court ruled that the two lawsuits
are to be  consolidated  into one proceeding in the United States District Court
in St. Louis. As a result, the litigation pending in the Circuit Court of Warren
County  has been  removed  to  Federal  Court.  The  parties  are now  beginning
discovery.  The Company  intends to vigorously  defend against the WPI claim and
prosecute its claim.

         On  August  20,  2000,  WPI  joined  with  other  parties  in filing an
involuntary  petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy  Code against
the Company.  As explained  below, the Court dismissed this petition in an Order
entered on October 20, 2000. In a  Stipulation  attached to the Order to dismiss
the  involuntary  petition,  the  Company  waived  all  rights  relative  to the
Bankruptcy Code against WPI as a result of its filing this involuntary petition.
Furthermore,  WPI agreed not to file or to induce or encourage  the filing of an
involuntary petition against the company in the future.

Capri Sun Dispute

         In February  2000,  Capri Sun,  Inc.  and Rudolph Wild GMBH & Co. KG, a
German limited partnership,  (collectively,  the "Plaintiffs") filed a Motion to
Reinstate  Case and Enforce  Settlement  Agreement in the  Northern  District of
Illinois, old case no. 97 C 1961 (Settlement  Agreement).  The Company has filed
its response to the Motion,  and Plaintiffs'  reply was filed on March 28, 2000.
The Company has denied  three of the four alleged  breaches  raised by Capri Sun
and offers to discontinue  use of the color blue on all future press runs of its
pouches.

         On July 21, 2000, the presiding  judge in this case issued a Memorandum
Opinion and Order refusing to reinstate the case,  dismissing  Plaintiffs Motion
and denying all relief.  Specifically,  on alleged breach number 4 (above),  the
Court held that use of the color  blue by the  Company  was de  minimus  and the
Company had agreed to discontinue use of the color.

Bankruptcy Petition

         On August 30, 2000, Danisco Flexible Schupbach AG ("DFS"),  P.S. Custom
Broker  ("P.S.  Custom");  Hub Group St. Louis L.P.  ("Hub City") and  Warrenton
Products,  Inc. ("WPI") (collectively,  the "Involuntary  Petitioners") filed an
involuntary  petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy  Code against
The Children's  Beverage Group, Inc. ("TCBG") (the "Involuntary  Petition").  On
September  20,  2000,  TCBG filed 'the Motion To Dismiss  seeking to dismiss the
Involuntary  Petition or to have the Court abstain from the Involuntary Petition
on the grounds that (i) the Involuntary  Petition was not properly filed because
certain of the  Involuntary  Petitioners'  claims  were  subject to a  bona-fide
dispute;  and (ii)  dismissal or abstention is in the best interest of creditors
and TCBG under  section 305 of the  Bankruptcy  Code.  On  September  22,  2000,
Specialized Metal Services,  Inc.  ("Specialized  Metal") filed a Motion To File
Joinder To Involuntary  Petition (the "Joinder Motion") and TCBG objected to the
Joinder Motion. On September 29, 2000, TCBG sent notice of the Motion To Dismiss
to all of its known  creditors.  Due and proper  notice of the Motion To Dismiss
was given and no other or further notice is required. The Court, based upon good
cause shown, had previously  shortened the twenty (20) day notice period for the
hearing on the Motion To Dismiss. A reasonable opportunity to object or be heard
regarding  the relief  requested  in the Motion to Dismiss has been given and no
objections having been made to the dismissal of the Involuntary  Petition or any
objects having being overruled.  DST, Hub City, PS Custom and Specialized  Metal
have agreed to and consent to the dismissal of the

Involuntary  Petition.  WPI has agreed to and  consents to the  dismissal of the
Involuntary  Petition on the terms and  conditions of the  Stipulation  attached
hereto as  Exhibit A (the "WPI  Stipulation").  Specialized  Metal has agreed to
withdraw the Joinder  Motion.  TCBG has agreed to waive fees,  costs and damages
under  section  303  of the  Bankruptcy  Code  relating  to  the  filing  of the
Involuntary Petition.

         Based upon the Motion To Dismiss and the evidence presented,  dismissal
of the  Involuntary  Petition is in the best interest of TCBG and its creditors.
Any  agreements  between any of the  Involuntary  Petitioners  and TCBG has been
adequately  disclosed to the Court. The following summary of the dismissal order
was entered on October 20, 2000:

         THE COURT ORDERED THAT:  The  Involuntary  Petition filed against TCBG,
         Case No.  00 B 25342,  is  dismissed  pursuant  to  section  305 of the
         Bankruptcy Code; The Joinder Motion is withdrawn,  with prejudice;  The
         Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this
         Order;  The  Bankruptcy  Court  shall  retain  jurisdiction  to  decide
         disputes   concerning  the  WPI  Stipulation,   its  interpretation  or
         performance of the terms and conditions of the WPI Stipulation; and All
         parties  shall  bear  there  own fees and  costs  with  respect  to the
         Involuntary Petition.


         The Company is involved in various litigation incident to its business.
It is the opinion of  management  that the outcome of such  litigation  will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.


14.    Sole Customer and Contract Manufacturer and Concentration of Risk

         All  of  the  Company's   sales  during  1999  were  to  one  customer.
Outstanding  accounts  receivable  at  December  31,  1999  were due  from  such
customer.  The Company has stopped shipping product to the customer. The loss of
this customer would have a material  adverse  effect on the Company's  financial
condition and results of operations.

         The  Company  relied on one  contract  manufacturer  to  produce  juice
products for its sole  customer.  As  described  in note 8, above,  the contract
manufacturer  discontinued  production  in November  1999.  This  discontinuance
disrupted  the  Company's  operations  and no  product  has been  shipped to the
Company's  only  customer  since  November  1999.  Discussions  took place in an
attempt to re-initiate  production,  but lack of cooperation has resulted in the
filing of a complaint against this contract manufacturer.

         On January 28, 2000,  legal  counsel for the Company  filed a complaint
with the United States  District  Court,  Eastern  District of Missouri  against
Warrenton Products, Inc. ("WPI"), a Missouri corporation,  alleging that WPI did
not meet  its  contractual  obligations  to  perform  its  manufacturing  of the
Company's  product and refuses to allow the Company's to remove its  specialized
equipment. On February 3, 2000, WPI filed a lawsuit against the Company alleging
damages of approximately $2.0 million plus interest, costs and punitive damages.
The Company  intends to vigorously  defend  against the WPI claim and vigorously
prosecute its claim.

         On  August  20,  2000,  WPI  joined  with  other  parties  in filing an
involuntary  petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy  Code against
