<P ALIGN="CENTER" style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Our Business  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are in the business of bottling and selling natural spring water and manufacturing preformed bottles, or "preforms," and finished
bottles from polyethylene terephthalate resin (commonly referred to as "PET"). Our bottled water division operates under the name "Mountain Valley Spring Water" and our PET division operates under the
name "Veriplas." In fiscal 2010, our bottled water division accounted for approximately 60% of our total net sales and our PET
division accounted for the remaining 40%. As we continue to grow as a company, we anticipate that net sales for our bottled water division will far exceed that of our PET division. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
predecessor of our bottled water division, Mountain Valley Spring Water of Hot Springs, Arkansas, was established in 1871, making us America's oldest continuously operated bottled
water company. The source of water for our products is natural spring water collected from three natural springs located approximately 10 miles from Hot Springs, Arkansas. In order to protect the
watershed of the springs, we own forest land surrounding each of the springs, which in the aggregate totals over 2,000&nbsp;acres, and no activities are conducted on this property other than
bottling operations and selective timber harvesting in order to preserve the health of the forest. Geologists engaged by us have estimated that rain falling on the Ouachita Mountain Plateau near the
springs percolates over approximately 3,500&nbsp;years to a deep underground aquifer and from there flows to the surface through the natural springs. This "recharge cycle" allows for a slow, natural
filtration of the water and the accumulation of various essential minerals, including calcium, magnesium and potassium. Water sold under the Mountain Valley brand is taken from a single, protected,
natural spring source flowing to the surface of the earth from a deep aquifer. The water sold under our other trademarked brands and our private label bottled water products is sourced from two other
Company-owned natural spring sources. The water flowing from the springs rises to the surface naturally and is collected in stainless steel, anaerobic basins before being piped underground
to the nearby Company-owned and operated bottling plant. We estimate that the volume of water naturally produced by these springs is sufficient for all foreseeable needs of the Company. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
the bottled water market, the Company competes both as a brand owner and a private label supplier. Mountain Valley's competitive niche as a brand owner is in the premium segment of
the bottled water market, which we estimate to comprise 10% of the total U.S. bottled water market. The parameters of the premium segment of the bottled water market are not officially defined by
industry trade groups or publication, but for internal benchmarking purposes, the characteristics that we use in determining premium status include quality of water, higher price points, and various
branding and packaging criteria. Our primary competitors that operate within the premium segment include Nestl&eacute; (San Pellegrino, Panna, Perrier), Groupe Danone (Evian), and Roll
International (Fiji), among others. We believe the premium segment of the bottled water market is growing due to increasing consumer knowledge on the quality and source differences between bottled
waters, taste preferences of consumers, perceived health benefits of bottled natural spring water, and concerns regarding the quality of municipal tap water. Mountain Valley positions itself as the
only nationally distributed domestic company currently competing in this segment. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
primary trademarked brands are Mountain Valley Spring Water&#153;, Mountain Valley Sparkling Water&#153;, Clear Mountain Spring Water&#153; and Diamond Spring
Water&#153;. Unlike most domestic U.S. bottled water products, our water is bottled in both glass packaging and proprietary PET bottles in both still and sparkling versions. We offer our
bottled water products in 5&nbsp;gallon, 2.5&nbsp;gallon, 1&nbsp;liter, <SUP>1</SUP>/<SMALL>2</SMALL>&nbsp;liter, and <SUP>1</SUP>/<SMALL>3</SMALL>&nbsp;liter glass bottles and 5&nbsp;gallon, 3&nbsp;gallon,
1.5&nbsp;liter,
1&nbsp;liter, <SUP>1</SUP>/<SMALL>2</SMALL>&nbsp;liter, 24&nbsp;ounce, 20&nbsp;ounce, 12&nbsp;ounce, and 8&nbsp;ounce plastic bottles. We own the proprietary rights to all of our glass bottles as
well as our 1.5&nbsp;liter, <SUP>1</SUP>/<SMALL>2</SMALL>&nbsp;liter and 12&nbsp;ounce plastic bottles. We purchase our glass bottles from third party vendors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
target consumers of Mountain Valley Spring and Sparkling Waters are (1)&nbsp;the quality conscious consumer and (2)&nbsp;the premium product consumer. We market our products as
"America's Premium Water Since 1871," and as being naturally high in pH, kosher and the locally produced and American alternative to imported competitors. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To
complement our bottled water business, Veriplas, our PET plastics manufacturing division manufactures and distributes preforms and finished bottles from PET for our use and for sale
to third party beverage bottlers. Veriplas provides us both a low cost, non-interrupted plastic bottle inventory as well as a separate source of revenue. Veriplas manufactures 100% of our
single-serve plastic bottle requirements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
predecessor of our Veriplas division was formed in 1998 to manufacture PET bottles and preforms for sale to independent water bottlers. In 2004, the principals of that entity,
through a series of restructuring steps with outside investors, acquired the Operating Company. In connection with the acquisition, the Veriplas predecessor was combined with the existing Mountain
Valley Spring Plastics Division to form our current PET manufacturing division, which we refer to as Veriplas. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN="CENTER" style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Industry Overview  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Bottled Water  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In 2010, the bottled water market, a segment of the total beverage market, had the 2<SUP>nd</SUP>&nbsp;largest "share of stomach"
from consumers in the United States at 14.8% versus the 23.3% commanded by soft drinks. According to Beverage Marketing Corporation, a beverage industry data and consulting firm, in 2010 the bottled
water market as a whole generated over $10.6&nbsp;billion in sales in the United States, which according to the International Bottled Water Association, a leading industry trade group, represents
year over year growth of 3.5% from 2009. We estimate that the premium segment of the bottled water market represents approximately 10% of the total U.S.&nbsp;bottled water market or approximately
$1&nbsp;billion. The Company's Mountain Valley Spring Water&#153; and Mountain Valley Sparking Water&#153; products compete in the premium bottled water market. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
believe there are several trends that support consumer demand for our bottled water products, including the following: </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> <U>Emphasis on Health and Wellness</U>  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As part of a desire to live a healthier lifestyle, we believe consumers are ever more focused on increasing their water consumption and
drinking water as a substitute for high-calorie beverages, carbonated soft drinks and beverages containing artificial sweeteners. Essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium and
potassium, which are naturally present in Mountain Valley water, add to the perceived health benefits of the spring water. The naturally high pH of the spring water also appeals to certain discerning
consumers. Water with a high pH level helps the body to neutralize acidity. While we are unaware of any definitive studies as to the health benefits of consuming water with a high pH level, some
consumers believe that such benefits do exist and seek out water products with a high pH level. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> <U>Concerns Regarding Quality of Municipal Tap Water</U>  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Many consumers purchase bottled water because of localized concerns regarding some of the 55,000 different municipal tap water sources
in the United States. There have been many recent media stories and reports by independent consumer groups highlighting pollution and quality issues with municipal water in various locations
throughout the United States. According to a New York Times study, between 2004-2009, more than 20% of the water treatment systems in the United States have violated key provisions of the
Safe Drinking Water Act, with many such systems providing tap water with illegal concentrations of dangerous chemicals or bacteria. We believe that consumer concerns regarding the quality of municipal
tap water throughout the United States has been a major factor driving growth in the bottled water market in recent years. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> <U>Increasing Demand for Products Packaged in Glass</U>  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mountain Valley packages its natural spring water in returnable glass bottles as well as single serve non-returnable glass
bottles. Some consumers express a strong preference for beverage products packaged in glass for the perceived taste difference over products packaged in plastic. In addition, some consumers have
health and/or environmental concerns about plastic in general and seek out products not packaged in plastic of any type. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> PET Bottles  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PET container market is generally divided into two product categories: conventional and custom. Veriplas produces both conventional
and custom PET beverage container products. The conventional category is larger by volume and is characterized by high volume production of containers for use in packaging beverages. Conventional
products are supplied by independent merchant bottle producers and by fully integrated bottling companies making containers for themselves. The custom category consists of containers for food and
beverage products that have special attributes such as colors, additives to resin having different performance attributes including UV screening or biodegradibility, or special shapes. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN="CENTER" style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Our Competitive Strengths  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe the competitive strengths of Mountain Valley include the following: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Defensive Market Niches  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our position in the premium segment of the U.S.&nbsp;bottled water market as the only nationally distributed domestic alternative to
the imported products of our international competitors would require significant resources to duplicate. We believe our brand equity and consumer recognition, developed over a 140-year
period, are a significant advantage. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
location of our springs and bottling assets in the central United States is a significant logistical advantage in our overall cost structure versus our imported competitors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
relative scarcity of glass bottles both for smaller, non-returnable packages as well as the larger 2.5&nbsp;gallon and 5&nbsp;gallon returnable packages makes it
difficult for competitors to enter the market for bottled water packaged in glass. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Taste of Mountain Valley Spring Water  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The sweet, crisp taste of Mountain Valley water is attributed to the slow, natural filtration process that occurs as water slowly makes
its way to the underground aquifer and then returns to the surface through our three natural springs. Mountain Valley water has twice been named the "Best Tasting Bottled Water in the World" at the
esteemed Berkley Springs International Water Tasting Competition. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>We
believe the high taste quality of Mountain Valley water is supported by consistent consumer demand, which is evident in our 140&nbsp;years of continuous commercial operation. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Strong Brand Recognition  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe the Mountain Valley brand has long been recognized in the premium bottled water industry and identified with high quality
products. We view this brand recognition as a competitive advantage in the markets in which we operate. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Key Retail Relationships  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We participate in multiple retail channels both directly and indirectly through our network of retail distributors. Although a
significant portion of our retail business is attributed to food retailers, such as major grocery stores and natural products retailers, we also have relationships with "off-premise"
retailers such as wine and liquor retailers, delicatessens,
and drug stores as well as "on-premise" retailers such as restaurants, in-store restaurants, resorts, country clubs, catering companies, bars and coffee houses. Among the
retailers with whom we have existing relationships are Publix, H-E-B, Whole Foods Market, Sprouts Farmers Market, and The Fresh Market. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Home and Office Delivery  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Historically our Home and Office Delivery (HOD) system has provided us with consistent cash flow and revenue. The over 125 independent
HOD distributors selling our products directly to consumers in their home or office provide us with a different, additional route to the consumer. HOD is only offered by a very limited number of
companies operating in the premium bottled water market. Additionally, the HOD system enhances brand awareness, and the HOD infrastructure provides leverage to our retail operations in terms of
transportation, production, and general and administrative functions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Management's Proven Track Record  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our management team is well experienced in the beverage industry in general with particular emphasis in the bottled water industry,
with our top 6 managers having over 130&nbsp;years of combined beverage industry experience. Our CEO, James "Breck" Speed III, has over 23&nbsp;years experience in the bottled water industry and
serves on the board of directors and various committees of the International Bottled Water Association. The experience level within the Company is deep overall as 38 of our employees have over
10&nbsp;years tenure with the Company, including 16 employees with over 20&nbsp;years tenure. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN="CENTER" style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Growth Strategy  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We seek to increase our market share and drive further growth in our business by pursuing the following strategies: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Expand Retail Business and Sales Staff  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our strategy for growth involves increasing our sales force and support staff to enable us to expand our presence in our current
regions and ultimately to other geographic markets across the United States. Mountain Valley is currently marketed and sold in 31 states in the United States pursuant to our relationships with various
retail and HOD distributors. It is our goal to successfully establish a sustainable presence in these areas before we allocate our limited resources to other geographic areas. We intend to expand to
other retail outlets not currently carrying the Mountain Valley brand as we execute our "regional rollout" strategy over time. Our regional rollout strategy calls for supporting our retailers and
distributors within each region we offer Mountain Valley water by </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>training
the distributors, working with them to gain retail placements, and by working locally to create consumer awareness, consumer demand, and consistent consumer "pull through." Initial
implementation of this strategy has resulted in the addition of key retail accounts such as Publix and The Fresh Market. To further implement our retail growth strategy, we intend to use a portion of
the proceeds from this offering to recruit and hire additional highly-qualified sales professionals and support staff. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Bottling Capacity  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bottling capacity is sufficient for our short term growth plans, but we plan to enhance our manufacturing capabilities over time with
respect to quantity and types of packaging. As a step toward implementing this strategy, we plan to purchase new equipment for our bottling facility in Hot Springs, Arkansas that will enable us to
substantially increase our output of bottled water. In our bottling process, after the filling process is completed, our bottled water is packaged for shipment in our palletizer. We currently operate
a single palletizer for both our glass and plastic production lines, which prevents simultaneous operation of the glass and production lines. We anticipate purchasing a second palletizer, which will
allow our glass and plastic production lines to operate simultaneously. The addition of a second palletizer will allow our production lines to operate with increased efficiency and will allow us to
maximize the capacity of each bottling line. We expect the cost of the additional palletizer to be approximately $375,000. We plan to fund this project with funds raised from this offering. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Expand Existing Retail Relationships  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe we have opportunities, directly and indirectly through our distributors, to increase store penetration with our existing
retail relationships based on our competitive strengths. Most of the retailers currently carrying Mountain Valley branded products could expand the number of stock-keeping units (or
"SKU's") carried by adding multipacks, additional glass or PET packaging, single serve packages for "grab-and-go" coolers in their prepared food sections, or cases for their
bulk item aisles. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Increase HOD Accounts  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We work with our independently owned HOD distributors to grow the number of HOD accounts. We do this by funding local efforts through
our Growth Attainment Program (aka the "GAP Program") that financially rewards distributors who grow their customer base. We also work with our HOD distributors to utilize our combined web presences
to drive consumers looking for Mountain Valley to our web fulfillment center. Our web site allows an end-user to locate and contact a Mountain Valley HOD distributor within their zip code.
We expect to expend more resources and increase efforts through social media and internet marketing to increase our HOD account volume in the future. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Strategic Acquisitions  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, management will consider making strategic acquisitions if opportunities become available. However, we have no current
agreements or plans for proposed acquisitions and may ultimately determine not to make any acquisitions in the future. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Employees  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of September&nbsp;30, 2011, we had 107 full time employees, of which 10 serve as our sales team. Following the effectiveness of
this offering, we intend to increase the number of employees on our sales team as we pursue our growth strategy in the retail component of our bottled water division. We believe that our continued
success will depend on our ability to continue to attract and retain skilled </FONT></P>

facilitating the Reorganization. Immediately prior to the closing of this offering, the Operating Company will merge with Merger Sub, with the Operating Company surviving the merger (the "Merger").
The Operating Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding Company as a result of the Merger and our business will continue to be conducted by and through the Operating

to the Merger, holders of Class&nbsp;A membership units represented 4.9% of the outstanding voting equity of the Operating Company, holders of Class&nbsp;B membership units
represented 10% of the outstanding voting equity of the Operating Company, and Class&nbsp;C membership units represented 85.1% of the outstanding voting equity of the Operating Company. In the
Merger, each membership unit in the Operating Company will be converted into shares of common stock of the Holding Company. Following the Merger and the completion of this offering, and assuming that
the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional shares from the Selling Stockholder, the former Class&nbsp;A membership unit holders of the Operating Company will collectively

uncertainties described below, together with the financial and other information contained in this prospectus, before you decide to invest in our common stock. Our business, financial condition and

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Risks Relating to Our Business  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
We face intense competition within the premium bottled water market as well as from other beverage providers. If we are unable to compete effectively, our business could be
harmed.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The premium bottled water market is highly competitive. Our products currently represent less than 1% of this market. Our primary
competitors in this market include Nestl&eacute; (San Pellegrino, Panna, Perrier), Groupe Danone (Evian), and Roll International (Fiji). Many of our competitors have greater financial,
marketing and other resources than we currently do, and therefore may be able to devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products, generate national brand recognition or adopt more
aggressive pricing policies than we can, which would put us at a competitive disadvantage. Most of our competitors have products that have already gained wide customer acceptance in the marketplace
and preferred shelf space at retail locations. While the industry is dominated by larger and well-known companies, we also face competition within the premium bottled water market from
other small- and medium-sized competitors. We could lose market share if our competitors successfully expand their share of the premium bottled water market or if consumers choose products based on
the brand recognition or marketing efforts of our competitors. We could also lose market share if other beverage and food companies decide to enter the premium bottled water market. Should any of
these companies so decide to enter the premium bottled water marketplace, our sales could be materially and adversely impacted. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
products also compete with less expensive, non-premium bottled water products offered by Nestl&eacute; (Deer Park, Ice Mountain, Ozarka, Poland Springs, Zephyr
Hills, Arrowhead, Pure Life), Coca-Cola (Dasani), PepsiCo (Aquafina) and DS Waters (Crystal Springs, Hinkley Springs, Kentwood Springs, Sparkletts) as well as other
non-alcoholic beverages, including carbonated and non-carbonated drinks, juices, flavored or enhanced waters, sport and energy drinks, coffees, teas and tap water. In addition,
our bottled water business faces competition from various methods of treating unfiltered tap water such as countertop filtration systems, faucet mounted filtration systems, in-line
whole-house filtration systems, water filtration dispensing products such as pitchers and jugs, standard and advanced feature water coolers and refrigerator-dispensed filtered water. If we are unable
to meet the competition faced by our industry, our competitive position and our business could suffer. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Our business largely depends on a strong brand image, and if we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand, particularly in new markets where we have limited brand
recognition, we may be unable to increase or maintain our level of sales.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that our brand image and brand awareness are key to the success of our business. Our ability to maintain and enhance our
reputation is critical to our brand image. If we are not able to maintain, protect and enhance our brand, particularly with our retail partners and individual consumers in geographic areas where we
may have limited brand recognition, we may be unable to place our bottled water at preferred retail locations or attract sufficient numbers of consumers to our bottled water products. Any negative
publicity, or any actual or perceived product quality issues, even if false or unfounded, could tarnish the image of our brand and may cause consumers to choose other products, including other
non-alcoholic beverages or municipal tap water. In addition, if consumers or </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>retailers
have a negative experience with any brand of bottled water, including the water of our competitors, bottled water may lose acceptance generally and our business could be adversely affected. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have adopted quality, environmental, health and safety standards that meet or exceed current regulatory requirements. However, our water may not meet these standards or our products
could otherwise become contaminated, including through the negligence of our employees or intentional actions of third parties such as domestic and foreign terrorists. A failure to meet these
standards or a contamination of our bottled water could result in expensive business interruptions and liability claims. Any of these failures or occurrences, or any allegation of these occurrences,
even if unfounded, could negatively affect our business and financial performance. Even if our water does not ever become contaminated, a contamination of any bottled water, including the water of our
competitors, would be detrimental to the bottled water business as a whole. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
we execute our growth strategy, maintaining the strength and distinctiveness of our brand image in new markets will be challenging. Because potential customers may not be familiar
with our products and because we undertake limited marketing, consumer acceptance of our product in new markets may not achieve the levels we desire. Enhancing our brand image in these markets may
require us to make substantial investments in marketing and employee training, which may not ultimately be successful. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Adverse publicity regarding the bottled water industry generally could adversely affect our business.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Local and national media have reported on the growth of the bottled water industry and on the positive and negative aspects of
consuming bottled water as it relates to solid
waste disposal and energy consumption in manufacturing, as well as conserving the supply of water available to the public. The adverse publicity from these reports could affect consumer behavior by
discouraging buyers from buying bottled water generally. In such event, our business and financial results would be adversely affected. While we have made efforts to "green" our business by, among
other things, reducing the environmental impact of our water withdrawal methods, working with strategic partners in government, industry and public interest groups to recover and reuse as much bottled
water packaging as possible and minimizing the use of energy in our manufacturing processes, we may be unable to respond effectively to adverse publicity regarding the bottled water industry
generally. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
If we are unable to expand our retail relationships in the future or if a significant portion of our existing retail accounts discontinue selling our products or
significantly change their retail strategy, our business could be adversely affected.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our strategic plan focuses on growth in sales, either directly or indirectly through our distributors, to third-party retailers. This
plan could be impaired if existing retailers discontinue sales of our products or if we fail to successfully expand to additional retail outlets. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
intend to use a significant portion of the proceeds from this offering to expand our sales and marketing efforts. Our inability to effectively utilize these proceeds to increase the
number of retail outlets that sell our products would adversely affect our results of operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Retailers
selling our bottled water are not contractually bound to offer our products. As a result, they could discontinue purchasing our products at any time. We compete to maintain our
existing retail accounts and to establish new retail relationships, but we may ultimately be unable to maintain or establish such relationships. If we were to lose a significant portion of our retail
accounts or if retailers materially reduced their business with us it could have an adverse affect on our financial condition and our expansion efforts. Continued positive relations with our retail
partners depend on various factors, including customer service by us and our distributors, consumer demand, pricing and competition. Additionally, most major retailers continually evaluate and often
modify their in-store retail strategies, including product placement, store set-up and design and demographic targets. Retailers may decide to </FONT></P>

We are subject to pricing pressure from our larger customers and competitors. If we are unable to offset reductions in our prices our profitability could suffer.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We face significant pricing pressures from our larger customers in both our bottled water and PET packaging divisions. Because of their
purchasing size, our larger customers can influence market participants to compete on price terms. Such customers also use their buying power to negotiate lower prices. We have reduced the prices of
some of our products in the past, and we expect to continue to experience pricing pressure for our products in the future. When seeking to maintain or increase their market share, our competitors may
also reduce the prices of their products or introduce alternative products. If we are unable to offset reductions in our average selling prices by increasing our sales volume, by reducing our costs
and expenses or by introducing new products, our profitability could suffer. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The failure of our major retail partners to continue to operate would adversely affect us.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our retail partners, such as natural food, convenience, mass and other retailers, have faced challenging business conditions as a
result of recent economic conditions, and these conditions may continue. We rely on our retail partners in order to access our consumers. If our retail partners close sites or experience disruptions
such as strikes or lock-outs, we could lose access to certain consumers, and our results of operations could be adversely affected. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The loss of a major distributor or an increase in costs related to the distribution of our products would adversely affect us.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We distribute approximately 95% of our bottled water products to consumers through third-party distributors. Most of our arrangements
with our distributors are evidenced by written contracts which have terms that generally range from one (1)&nbsp;to three (3)&nbsp;years with automatic renewal clauses. These contracts generally
contain termination clauses permitting the distributor to terminate the relationship upon 90&nbsp;days notice and contain no provisions obligating the distributor to purchase any minimum amount of
our products. We attempt to maintain good working relationships with our distributors, but we may ultimately be unable to renew existing contracts or enter into new contracts for distribution. In
addition, our distributors face increasing costs to provide their services, such as higher prices for fuel, and if they were to pass those costs on to their customers through price increases, it could
have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations. If we were to lose a contract with any one of our major distributors or if any of our distributors was unable to maintain a viable
business, our business and our results of operations would suffer. In such case, we may be unable to find new distributors as a substitute, and even if we were able to do so, we may not be able to do
so quickly and efficiently enough or on terms that are as favorable to avoid significant financial losses. </FONT></P>

customers would adversely affect us.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The top ten customers of our Veriplas Division accounted for approximately 68% of the net sales of that division during fiscal 2010.
One of the largest customers of the Veriplas Division has substantially decreased its purchases from us during fiscal 2011 and has recently informed us that it intends to internally produce over 75%
of its plastic bottle requirements beginning in 2012. This customer accounted for net sales of approximately $1.9&nbsp;million during fiscal 2010, or 22.3% of Veriplas net sales, and approximately
$1.8&nbsp;million in 2009, or 22.2% of Veriplas net sales. The loss of additional major customers from our Veriplas Division would adversely affect us. </FONT></P>

Increases in transportation costs would reduce profit margins, negatively impacting profitability.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We deliver our bottled water products to our distributors through a third party transportation provider on a delivered price basis. If
the price of fuel increases, freight costs will increase. As a result, our freight cost is directly impacted by changes in fuel prices. Increases in fuel prices and surcharges and other factors have
increased freight costs and may continue to increase freight costs in the future. The inflationary pressure of higher fuel costs and continued increases in transportation-related costs could have a
material adverse effect on our profit margins and profitability. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Shortages of essential materials used in the production of our products, increases in the cost of such materials or disruptions in our supply chain could adversely impact
our financial condition and operating results.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Essential materials in the production of our bottled water include our signature glass bottles and the resin pellets (including
recycled resin) we use in the manufacture of our PET bottles. We purchase our small glass bottles from a single supplier in Mexico and our larger glass bottles from a single supplier in Italy. We
purchase our resin pellets from a small number of domestic suppliers. Therefore, we are dependent on the ability of these suppliers to provide such materials on a timely and consistent basis. Our
third-party suppliers may not dedicate sufficient resources to meet our scheduled delivery requirements or our suppliers may not have sufficient resources to satisfy our requirements during any period
of sustained demand. Failure of a supplier to supply, delays in supplying, or disruptions in the supply chain for these essential components could materially adversely
affect our operations, our profitability and our ability to meet our delivery schedules on a timely and competitive basis. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Disruptions
in our supply chain may occur from many different unforeseen events, including war, terrorism and other international conflicts, public health issues, natural disasters,
strikes and other labor disputes, whether in the United States or abroad. In particular, since our suppliers of glass bottles are located in Mexico and Italy, our supply is subject to risks associated
with international shipping and trade, such as increased import fees, quotas, trade restrictions, currency fluctuations and damages and delays due to transporting products over long distances. We are
also subject to risks related to any economic or political instability in Mexico. Moreover, if either supplier of glass bottles were to end its operations or materially reduce production for any
reason, we would experience a disruption in our supply chain adversely affecting our operations and financial results. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fluctuations
in the prices of these key supplies, as well as in the prices of the raw materials used by our suppliers, could have a material adverse effect on results of operations. Our
ability to pass on increases in supply prices to our customers is limited due to competitive pricing pressure and the time lag between increased costs and implementation of related price increases. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Although
we purchase these essential materials from a limited number of manufacturers, management believes that other suppliers are available that could adapt to provide similar
products. However, a new supplier of these materials could increase the costs of such products which would have an adverse impact on our operating margins and net income. In addition, the time
required to locate and qualify other suppliers could cause a delay in operations that may be financially disruptive to the company. </FONT></P>

The deep aquifers from which our water springs are limited resources, and while we believe our water supply from these aquifers are more than sufficient to support our operations and any
anticipated expansion thereof, we could at some point in the future experience water flow levels too low to make it economically feasible to collect, bottle and distribute our bottled water products. </FONT></P>

Our operations are conducted in only two locations. Significant interruptions of our operations, by natural disaster or otherwise, could adversely affect our business.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We operate one bottling facility and one PET facility at the same location in Hot Springs, Arkansas and one PET facility in Little
Rock, Arkansas. If these facilities were incapacitated for an extended period of time, we would likely have to relocate production to an alternative facility. In particular, our springs and all of our
facilities are located in central Arkansas, which experiences frequent tornadoes capable of producing strong winds, hail, lightning and flash flooding that could destroy or damage our facilities or
otherwise interrupt operations. In recent years central Arkansas has also experienced an increasing number of small to medium-size earthquakes. An earthquake could alter the geologic
formation of our springs, contaminating or constricting water flow, perhaps even entirely. If any such natural disaster were to occur, we would be unable to continue operations without significant
costs and delays and may not be able to continue operations at all, depending on the level of destruction or damage to our operations and the flow of our springs. Any relocation and additional
transportation resulting from such interruptions could increase the cost of our products or result in product shortages that would reduce sales. Higher costs and lower sales would reduce
profitability. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
We have limited resources available for research and development efforts. As such, we may be unable to successfully identify and/or implement changes in consumer preferences
or production innovations. Any failure to keep pace with these changes could adversely affect our business.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Historically, we have not dedicated meaningful resources to research and development. Given our financial resources, we do not expect
to devote material resources to these efforts in the foreseeable future. The bottled water and PET packaging industries have been and will likely continue to be impacted by production innovations
resulting from improvements in technology. These changes can reduce production costs and create new or modified products. Such changes are likely to shift consumer demand. Many of our competitors have
greater resources and may react to such innovations more efficiently than us. Our inability to identify and react to these innovations could adversely affect our business. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Changes in weather conditions could negatively affect our business.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, with decreased revenues during rainy or cold weather months and increased revenues
during dry or hot weather months. In addition, unseasonable or unusual weather may reduce demand and revenues for our products. Variations in demand and revenues could negatively impact the timing of
our cash flows and therefore limit our ability to timely service our obligations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
We depend on the expertise of key personnel. If these individuals leave without replacement, our ability to implement our business strategies could be delayed or hindered.

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are dependent on the services of our senior management because of their experience, industry relationships and knowledge of the

Competition for these types of personnel is high, and we may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms. Failure to recruit and retain such personnel could adversely
affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and planned growth. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Risks Relating to Regulatory and Legal Issues  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The bottled water industry is regulated at both the state and federal level. If we are unable to continue to comply with applicable regulations and standards in any
jurisdiction, we might not be able to sell our products in that jurisdiction, and our business could be seriously harmed.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") regulates bottled water as a food. Our bottled water must meet FDA requirements
of safety for human consumption, labeling, processing and distribution under sanitary conditions and production in accordance with FDA "good manufacturing practices." In addition, all drinking water
must meet Environmental Protection Agency standards established under the Safe Drinking Water Act for mineral and chemical concentration and drinking water quality and treatment, which are enforced by
the FDA. Further, any claims we make in marketing our products, such as claims related to the beneficial health effects of drinking water, are subject to the FDA's advertising and promotion
requirements and restrictions. We also must meet state regulations in a variety of areas, and such state regulations are not necessarily consistent or uniform, which results in monitoring and
compliance costs to our company. These federal and state regulations set standards for approved water sources and the information that must be provided and the basis on which any therapeutic claims
for water may be made. We maintain all permits or approvals required in the states in which our water is sold. However, we are unable to ensure that we will receive, or be able to maintain, such
approvals in the future or to gain approval in other states for our water. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
operations are subject to routine and random regulatory quality inspections. Although we believe we are operating in substantial compliance with these laws and regulations, these
laws and regulations and their interpretations and enforcement are subject to change. The enactment of additional or more stringent laws or regulations may cause a disruption in our operations in the
future. Failure to comply with such current or future laws and regulations could result in fines against us, a temporary shutdown of our operations or the loss of certification to sell our products. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Any significant change in perception by our customers or government regulation of polycarbonate plastic in food and beverage products could adversely affect our operations
and financial results.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In January 2010, the FDA issued an updated report regarding its current perspective on the safety of Bisphenol A ("BPA") in food
packaging materials, asserting the need for additional studies on BPA and issuing its interim public health recommendations. BPA is an industrial chemical found in certain plastics, including plastics
known as polycarbonate. BPA is currently present
in all of our three gallon plastic bottles and certain of our five gallon plastic bottles that are used exclusively for our Diamond-branded products. Bottles containing BPA represent less than 1% of
our total bottles and are being systematically phased out of our inventory. BPA is regulated by the FDA as an indirect food additive. While the FDA notes that studies employing standardized toxicity
tests support the safety of human exposure to BPA at the low levels currently experienced by consumers, the FDA's report additionally acknowledges the results of certain recent studies which suggest
some concern regarding potential developmental and behavioral effects of BPA exposure, particularly on infants and young children. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
FDA is continuing to evaluate these low dose toxicity studies, as well as other recent peer-reviewed studies related to BPA, and has solicited public comment and
inter-agency scientific input in connection with updating its formal assessment of the safety of BPA for use in food contact applications. In the interim, the FDA's public health recommendations
include taking reasonable steps to reduce exposure of infants to BPA in the food supply and working with industry to support and evaluate manufacturing practices and alternative substances that could
reduce exposure in other populations. Further, the FDA indicates that it plans to review its existing authority to shift to a more robust regulatory framework for oversight of BPA. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Consistent
with the findings of numerous international regulatory bodies, we believe that the scientific evidence suggests that polycarbonate plastic made with BPA is a safe packing
material for all </FONT></P>

addition, federal, state and local governmental authorities have and continue to introduce, and in certain states enact, proposals intended to restrict or ban the use of BPA in food
and beverage packaging materials. Additionally, a food safety bill is currently pending in the U.S. Senate which may be amended to include a provision that would override the FDA's ongoing assessment
of BPA, ban the use of BPA in certain food and beverage containers and change the way in which BPA is regulated. At this juncture, we cannot predict with certainty whether or when any such proposals
may be enacted or what impact they may have on our business. </FONT></P>

Legislative and executive action in state and local governments banning the use of municipal funds for purchasing bottled water and enacting local taxes on bottled water
could adversely affect our business and financial results.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Recent initiatives have taken place in several major cities regarding bottled water, principally the smaller size bottles sold in
stores to retail consumers, which is a significant portion of our business and a critical component of our growth strategy. For a description of our growth strategy, see "Business&#151;Growth
Strategy." Regulations have been proposed in some localities that would ban the use of public funds to purchase bottled water and enact local taxes on bottled water. These actions are purportedly
designed to discourage the use of bottled water due in large part to concerns about the environmental effects of producing and discarding large numbers of plastic bottles. We recognize the need to
protect our water sources and the overall environment, and we have made efforts to do so in our business. However, these governmental actions and the resulting effects on consumer behavior could have
an adverse impact on our financial results and the successful implementation of our growth strategy. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>Directors,
management and officers and may increase our legal and financial compliance costs. We estimate the annual incremental costs to operate as a public company to be approximately
$1.0&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Our failure to maintain adequate internal controls over our financial and management systems may cause errors in our financial reporting. These errors may cause a loss of
investor confidence and result in a decline in the price of our common stock.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our public company reporting obligations and our anticipated growth will likely strain our financial and management systems, internal
controls and our employees. In addition, pursuant to Section&nbsp;404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to finish documenting and testing our internal controls so our management can
certify the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and our independent registered public accounting firm can render an opinion on our internal controls over financial
reporting by the time our annual report for fiscal year 2012 is due and annually thereafter. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
are currently taking the necessary steps to comply with Section&nbsp;404. However, this process is time consuming and costly. If during this process we identify one or more material
weaknesses in our internal controls, it is possible that our management may not be able to certify that our internal controls are effective by the certification deadline. We cannot be certain we will
be able to successfully complete the implementation, certification and attestation requirements of Section&nbsp;404 within the time period allowed. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Moreover,
if we identify any material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls, we will have to implement appropriate changes to these controls, which may require
specific compliance training for our directors, officers and employees, require the hiring of additional finance, accounting, legal and other personnel, entail substantial costs to modify our existing
accounting systems and take a significant period of time to complete. Such changes may not, however, be effective in maintaining the adequacy of our internal controls, and any failure to maintain that
adequacy, or consequent inability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis, could increase our operating costs and could materially impair our ability to operate our business.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to prevent fraud. As a result, our failure to satisfy the requirements of Section&nbsp;404 on
a timely basis could result in us being subject to regulatory action and a loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, both of which in turn could cause the market
value of our common stock to decline. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Certain provisions in our corporate organizational documents may inhibit or prohibit a takeover of us and the replacement or removal of our management.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition to the effect that the concentration of ownership and voting power in MV Holdings,&nbsp;LLC may have, certain provisions
contained in our corporate organizational documents and the Delaware General Corporation Law may make an acquisition of us more difficult. For example, our certificate of incorporation includes a
provision authorizing our Board of Directors to issue blank check preferred stock without stockholder approval, which, if issued, would increase the number of outstanding shares of our capital stock
and make it more difficult for a stockholder to acquire us. Our certificate of incorporation also provides that director vacancies can only be filled by an affirmative vote of a majority of directors
then in office, that stockholders may not act by written consent, and that special meetings of our stockholders may only be called by our Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by an
affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office. Furthermore, our bylaws require advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations. As a Delaware corporation, we are subject
to Section&nbsp;203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which, in general, prevents an interested stockholder, defined generally as a person owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock,
from engaging in a business combination with us for three years following the date that such person became an interested stockholder unless certain specified conditions are satisfied. </FONT></P>

objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such
as "anticipate," "believes," "can," "could," "may," "predicts," "potential," "should," "will," "estimate," "plans," "projects," "continuing," "ongoing," "expects," "intends" and similar words or

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We estimate that our net proceeds from this offering will be approximately

increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $[&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#149;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;] per share of common stock, the midpoint of the range set forth
on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us of the offering by $[&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#149;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;]&nbsp;million, assuming
that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant
to an overallotment option, the Selling Stockholder has offered up to [&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#149;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;] shares of our common stock for sale in

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
intend to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering (i)&nbsp;to expand our marketing and sales efforts, including the hiring of additional personnel, (ii)&nbsp;to acquire
additional equipment and to enhance optimization of our bottling facility, (iii)&nbsp;to merge our Hot Springs and Little Rock PET manufacturing facilities into a single facility in Hot Springs, and
(iv)&nbsp;for working capital and general corporate purposes. If the opportunity arises, we may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire, invest in, or obtain rights to, complementary
products, services, or businesses. Additionally, we may use a portion of the net proceeds to pay down existing indebtedness. We are not currently a party to any agreements or commitments for any such

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Following the Reorganization and the effectiveness of this offering and in the foreseeable future, we do not expect to pay any
dividends on our common stock. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on various factors, including our results of operations,
financial condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, outstanding indebtedness, investment opportunities and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant. Our existing
credit agreement generally prohibits the payment of cash dividends to common equity holders. As a result, you will likely need to sell your shares of common stock to realize a return on your
investment, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price you paid for them. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Historically,
and pursuant to the amended and restated operating agreement of the Operating Company, the Series&nbsp;A Preferred Unit holders (the predecessors to the Operating
Company's Class&nbsp;A members) have been entitled to an annual distribution equal to a percentage of their capital contributions to the Operating Company, paid on a monthly basis. In 2009 we paid
$185,000 in aggregate distributions to the Series&nbsp;A Preferred Unit holders and no distributions to the common membership unit holders (the predecessors to the Class&nbsp;B members). In 2010
we paid $185,000 in aggregate distributions to the Series&nbsp;A Preferred Unit holders and no distributions to the common membership unit holders. Effective January&nbsp;1, 2011, we underwent a
recapitalization pursuant to which the former Series&nbsp;A Preferred Unit holders exchanged their interests for Class&nbsp;A membership units in the Operating Company, the former common
membership unit holders exchanged their interests for Class&nbsp;B membership units in the Operating Company, and certain of the former debt holders of the Operating Company converted their debt
into Class&nbsp;C membership units. During the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2011, we paid $127,000 in aggregate distributions to the Class&nbsp;A members and no distributions to the
Class&nbsp;B members or Class&nbsp;C members. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions&#151;Related Party Transactions." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be immediately diluted by the amount by which the initial offering price per
share paid by the purchasers of common stock in this offering exceeds the net tangible book value per share of our common stock following this offering. Pro forma net tangible book value per share
represents the amount of our total consolidated tangible assets minus total consolidated liabilities divided by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock, on a pro forma basis after giving
effect to Reorganization as described under "Description of Capital Stock&#151;Reorganization." As of September&nbsp;30, 2011, our pro forma net tangible book value was
$[&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#149;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;]&nbsp;million, or $[&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#149;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;] per share of common stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After
giving effect to (i)&nbsp;the sale of the [&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#149;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;] shares of common stock offered by us assuming an initial public
offering price of $[&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#149;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;] per share, which is the mid-point of
the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, less the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us and (ii)&nbsp;the application of the estimated proceeds
from this offering as described in "Use of Proceeds", our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September&nbsp;30, 2011 would have been approximately
$[&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#149;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;]&nbsp;million, or $[&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#149;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;] per share. This amount represents an
immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $[&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#149;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;] per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of
$[&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#149;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;] per share to new investors. The following table illustrates this dilution. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Overview  </B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are in the business of bottling and selling natural spring water and manufacturing preformed bottles, or "preforms," and finished
bottles from polyethylene terephthalate
resin, commonly referred to as "PET." We manage our business through two operating divisions&#151;a bottled water division (the "Water Division") and a PET manufacturing division (the "Veriplas
Division"). Through the Water Division, we sell bottled water under our own label and under private label arrangements to customers who desire to distribute our water using their own brand. Our
branded bottled water competes in the premium segment of the bottled water market and is made available to consumers through various channels, including retail, home and office delivery ("HOD") and
e-commerce. Through our Veriplas Division, we manufacture and sell preforms and finished bottles manufactured from PET. Our Veriplas Division supplies the PET containers it manufactures to
our Water Division as well as to over 30 independent beverage bottlers. Our Veriplas Division manufactures 100% of the single-serve plastic bottle requirements for our Water Division, which provides
us with a low cost, non-interrupted plastic bottle inventory. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
2010 and 2009, we generated net sales of $24.2&nbsp;million and $22.2&nbsp;million, respectively. In both 2010 and 2009, the Water Division accounted for approximately 60% of
our total net sales, while the Veriplas Division accounted for the remaining 40% of our total net sales. For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2011 and 2010, we generated net sales of
$19.9&nbsp;million and $18.8&nbsp;million, respectively. For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2011 and 2010, the Water Division accounted for approximately 56% and 58%, respectively, of
our total net sales, while the Veriplas Division accounted for approximately 44% and 42%, respectively, of our total net sales. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective January&nbsp;1, 2011, Mountain Valley Spring Company,&nbsp;LLC (the "Operating Company") underwent a recapitalization.
Pursuant to the recapitalization, (1)&nbsp;creditors holding approximately $30&nbsp;million in notes payable and accrued interest payable, as well as related warrants to purchase units of the
Operating Company, agreed to convert 100% of their indebtedness into new Class&nbsp;C membership units and surrender the warrants; (2)&nbsp;the former holders of Series&nbsp;A Preferred Units
and related warrants to purchase additional units of the Operating Company agreed to convert their units to new Class&nbsp;A membership units and surrender their warrants, and (3)&nbsp;the former
common membership unit holders agreed to convert their units to new Class&nbsp;B membership units. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Water.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Water Division sales increased $1,053,000 or 7.9% to $14,372,000 in 2010. The increase for 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily a
result of a
5.1% increase in sales to HOD distributors and a 22.1% increase in sales to our retail distributors and customers. Net sales increases to our HOD distributors resulted primarily from a 5.3% increase
in units sold. Net sales to our retail distributors and customers resulted from both price increases and a 10.5% increase in units sold. There was no change in our net sales to private label
customers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For

6.4% increase in

decreased in 2010
despite an increase in sales, due primarily to an increase in write-offs and charges to depreciation for older bottles and crates pursuant to a program instituted in 2010. See

selling expenses decreased to 11.4% for 2010 from 12.2% in 2009. Selling expenses for the Water Division include compensation of the sales force, travel and entertainment, promotional support,

result of net income of $6.7&nbsp;million during this period consisting primarily of a non-cash $7.6&nbsp;million gain on conversion of subordinated debt, offset by
non-cash depreciation of $2.1&nbsp;million and an increase in working capital. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net
cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2010 was $610,000. Our operating cash flow was the result of a $5.1&nbsp;million net loss, offset by non-cash
depreciation of $4.2&nbsp;million and $1.7&nbsp;million of non-cash accrued interest payable. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net
cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2009 was $1.3&nbsp;million. Our operating cash flow was the result of a $6.3&nbsp;million net loss, offset by non-cash

December&nbsp;16, 2011. All amounts outstanding under the Revolver will be due and payable upon the earlier of its expiration or the acceleration of the loan upon an event of default. The Revolver

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Positive cash flow from our operating activities and access to credit is crucial to our ability to operate our business. We continue to
generate cash from operating activities to service scheduled debt repayments and fund capital expenditures. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Over
the last 3&nbsp;years, adverse economic conditions have negatively impacted many businesses and the limited availability of credit. We believe that the economy has not yet fully
recovered. We have taken steps to preserve cash flow but, we can provide no assurances that our future cash flow, results of operations, ability to implement our growth strategy, or ability to obtain
credit on acceptable terms will not be adversely affected by future economic conditions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Dependence on Major Distributors and Customers  </B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Within the Water Division we rely on retail and HOD distributors to sell our products. Our top ten distributors accounted approximately
35% of the net sales of the Water Division during fiscal 2010. Within the Veriplas Division, we sell our PET packaging products directly to our customers. Our top ten customers within this division
accounted for approximately 68% of the net sales of the Veriplas Division in fiscal 2010. As described above, during fiscal 2011, one of the largest customers of the Veriplas Division informed us that
it intends to internally produce over 75% of its plastic bottle requirements. The loss of this customer will have an adverse effect on the net sales of the Veriplas Division. The loss additional major

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Preparation of the statements in
accordance with these principles requires that we make estimates, using available data and our judgment for such things as valuing assets, accruing liabilities, and estimating expenses. We believe
that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the greatest potential impact on
our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates. Because of the uncertainty inherent in these matters, actual results could differ from the
estimates we use in applying the critical accounting policies. We base our ongoing estimates on historical experience and other various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Accounts Receivable&#151;Allowance for Doubtful Accounts  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We routinely review our customer accounts on a periodic basis by customer account aging, to determine if the amounts due are
collectible based on information we receive from the customer, past history, and economic conditions. In doing so, we adjust our allowance accordingly to reflect the cumulative amount that we feel is
uncollectible. This estimate may vary from the proceeds that we actually collect. If the estimate is too low, we may incur higher bad debt expenses in the future resulting in lower net income. If the
estimate is too high, we may experience lower bad debt expense in the future resulting in higher net income. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Property, Plant and Equipment&#151;Depreciation  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We maintain buildings, machinery, equipment, bottles, crates and racks, and furniture and fixtures to operate our business. We estimate
the life of individual assets to allocate the cost over the expected life. The basis for such estimates is use, technology, required maintenance, and obsolescence. We periodically review these
estimates and adjust them if necessary. Nonetheless, if we overestimate the life of an asset or assets, at a point in the future, we would have to incur higher depreciation costs and consequently,
lower net income. If we underestimate the life of an asset or assets, we would absorb too much depreciation in the early years resulting in higher net income in the later years when the asset is still
in service. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Income Taxes  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Historically, we have not recognized any income tax liability and have not made a provision for income tax expense because the
Operating Company is a limited liability company and income taxes have been passed through to its unit holders. For pro forma purposes only, we will recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based
on temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their corresponding tax basis. The valuation of these deferred tax assets and liabilities is
based on estimates that are dependent on rate and time assumptions. If these estimates do not prove to be correct in the future, we may have over or
understated the pro forma income tax expense and, as a result, pro forma earnings. Following the Reorganization, the Holding Company will be subject to taxation as a corporation. </FONT></P>

Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance clarifies the criteria that an individual tax position must satisfy for some or all of the benefits of that position to be
recognized in a company's financial statements. The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not, and a measurement attribute for all tax
positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements. The Company adopted these provisions beginning in 2011. </FONT></P>

bottles from polyethylene terephthalate resin (commonly referred to as "PET"). Our bottled water division operates under the name "Mountain Valley Spring Water" and our PET division operates under the
name "Veriplas." In fiscal 2010, our bottled water division accounted for approximately 60% of our total net sales and our PET division accounted for the remaining 40%. As we continue to grow as a

us America's oldest continuously operated bottled water company. The source of water for our products is natural spring water collected from three natural springs located approximately 10 miles from
Hot Springs, Arkansas. In order to protect the watershed of the springs, we own forest land surrounding each of the springs, which in the aggregate totals over 2,000 acres, and no activities are
conducted on this property other than bottling operations and selective timber harvesting in order to preserve the health of the forest. Geologists engaged by us have estimated that rain falling on
the Ouachita Mountain Plateau near the springs percolates over approximately 3,500&nbsp;years to a deep underground aquifer and from there flows to the surface through the natural springs. This
"recharge cycle" allows for a slow, natural filtration of the water and the accumulation of various essential minerals, including calcium, magnesium and potassium. Water sold under the Mountain Valley
brand is taken from a single, protected, natural spring source flowing to the surface of the earth from a deep aquifer. The water sold under our other trademarked brands and our private label bottled
water products is sourced from two other Company-owned natural spring sources. The water flowing from the springs rises to the surface naturally and is collected in stainless steel, anaerobic basins
before being piped underground to the nearby Company-owned and operated bottling plant. We estimate that the volume of water naturally produced by these springs is sufficient for all foreseeable needs
of the Company. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
the bottled water market, the Company competes both as a brand owner and a private label supplier. Mountain Valley's competitive niche as a brand owner is in the premium segment of
the bottled water market, which we estimate to comprise 10% of the total U.S. bottled water market. The parameters of the premium segment of the bottled water market are not officially defined by
industry trade groups or publication, but for internal benchmarking purposes, the characteristics that we use in determining premium status include quality of water, higher price points, and various
branding and packaging criteria. Our primary competitors that operate within the premium segment include Nestl&eacute; (San Pellegrino, Panna, Perrier), Groupe Danone (Evian), and Roll
International (Fiji), among others. We believe the premium segment of the bottled water market is growing due to increasing consumer knowledge on the quality and source differences between bottled
waters, taste preferences of consumers, perceived health benefits of bottled natural spring water, and concerns regarding the quality of municipal tap water. Mountain Valley positions itself as the
only nationally distributed domestic company competing in this segment. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
primary trademarked brands are Mountain Valley Spring Water&#153;, Mountain Valley Sparkling Water&#153;, Clear Mountain Spring Water&#153; and Diamond Spring
Water&#153;. Unlike most domestic U.S. bottled water products, our water is bottled in both glass packaging and proprietary PET bottles in both still and sparkling versions. We offer our
bottled water products in 5&nbsp;gallon, 2.5&nbsp;gallon, 1&nbsp;liter, 1/2&nbsp;liter, and 1/3&nbsp;liter glass bottles and 5&nbsp;gallon, 3&nbsp;gallon, 1.5&nbsp;liter,
1&nbsp;liter, 1/2&nbsp;liter, 24&nbsp;ounce, 20&nbsp;ounce, 12&nbsp;ounce, and 8&nbsp;ounce plastic bottles. We own the proprietary rights to all of our glass bottles as well </FONT></P>

Mountain Valley water is being bottled, the water is filtered, ultraviolet light is applied and ozone is added to ensure there is no biological contamination. We use ozone
(O<SUB>3</SUB>) because studies have shown that it is effective against various potential contaminants, but also because it breaks down into oxygen (O<SUB>2</SUB>) after it is in the bottle. We
monitor the bottling process every 10 seconds for residual ozone and total dissolved solids. Bacterial tests are taken daily and incubated. Samples of product from each production run are put aside
and reserved for six months. The records of all in-house and third party testing (governmental agencies or independent companies) are maintained for 10&nbsp;years. </FONT></P>

in 2010, the bottled water market as a whole generated over $10.6&nbsp;billion in sales in the United States, which according to the International Bottled Water Association, a leading industry
trade group, represents year over year growth of 3.5% from 2009. We estimate that the premium segment of the bottled water market represents approximately 10% of the total U.S. bottled water market or
approximately $1&nbsp;billion. The Company's Mountain Valley Spring Water&#153; and Mountain Valley Sparkling Water&#153; products compete in the premium bottled water market. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
believe there are several trends that support consumer demand for our bottled water products, including the following: </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> <U>Emphasis on Health and Wellness</U>  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As part of a desire to live a healthier lifestyle, we believe consumers are ever more focused on increasing their water consumption and
drinking water as a substitute for high-calorie beverages, carbonated soft drinks and beverages containing artificial sweeteners. Essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium and
potassium, which are naturally found in Mountain Valley water, add to the perceived health benefits of the spring water. The naturally high pH of the spring water also appeals to certain discerning
consumers. Water with a high pH level helps the body to neutralize acidity. While we are unaware of any definitive studies as to the health benefits of consuming water with a high pH level, some
consumers believe that such benefits do exist and seek out water products with a high pH level. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> <U>Concerns Regarding Quality of Municipal Tap Water</U>  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Many consumers purchase bottled water because of localized concerns regarding some of the 55,000 different municipal tap water sources
in the United States. There have been many recent media stories and reports by independent consumer groups highlighting pollution and quality issues with municipal water in various locations
throughout the United States. According to a New York Times study, between 2004-2009, more than 20% of the water treatment systems in the United States have violated key provisions of the
Safe Drinking Water Act, with many such systems providing tap water with illegal concentrations of dangerous chemicals or bacteria. We believe that consumer concerns regarding the quality of municipal
tap water throughout the United States has been a major factor driving growth in the bottled water market in recent years. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> <U>Increasing Demand for Products Packaged in Glass</U>  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mountain Valley packages its natural spring water in returnable glass bottles as well as single serve non-returnable glass
bottles. Some consumers express a strong preference for beverage products packaged in glass for the perceived taste difference over products packaged in plastic. In addition, some consumers have
health and/or environmental concerns about plastic in general and seek out products not packaged in plastic of any type. </FONT></P>

<UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> <U>Increasing Demand for Products Perceived as "Environmentally Friendly"</U>  </I></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe consumers are increasingly favoring products with a lower environmental impact with a "reduce, reuse, recycle" mindset
becoming a common driver of consumer behavior. Areas of concern include products' packaging materials, carbon footprint and crude oil usage in production and distribution and the impact on landfills
when disposed. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mountain
Valley was one of the first bottled water producers to use recycled PET in its plastic bottled water containers and currently uses 50% recycled PET in all of the Mountain
Valley-branded plastic bottled water containers. The Company's glass packaging containers use an average of 25% recycled material. In order to communicate our commitment to environmental
sustainability to consumers, we have developed and placed a slogan on select packaging that states: "If you recycle it again, we'll use it again." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
a domestic alternative to imported competitors, Mountain Valley water is inherently the more environmentally friendly product as transportation is such a large component of bottled
water's environmental impact. This positioning is easily understood by American consumers who are concerned with such issues and who want to "Eat Local" or "Buy American." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> PET Bottles  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PET container market is generally divided into two product categories: conventional and custom. Veriplas produces both conventional
and custom PET beverage container products. The conventional category is larger by volume and is characterized by high volume production of containers for use in packaging beverages. Conventional
products are supplied by independent merchant bottle producers and by fully integrated bottling companies making containers for themselves. The custom category consists of containers for food and
beverage products that have special attributes such as colors, special shapes, or additives to resin having different performance attributes such as UV screening or biodegradibility. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Although
some consumers express a dislike for plastic packaging, this material has become the packaging of choice for over 50% of the beverage industry. Aluminum is second in volume
followed in much smaller quantities by glass and other materials such as film and laminated cardboard. The beneficial attributes of PET plastic as a packaging material include low cost, low
permeability (liquids within stay carbonated longer), safety (it doesn't shatter or easily break), and it is easily recycled and reused. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Recycled
PET is a growing part of the container market as consumers express a preference for products with recycled PET content. There are a number of suppliers of food grade recycled
PET in the U.S. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
anticipate additional changes in the PET market as the suppliers of the chemical components of PET continue to increase their use of renewable sources, as opposed to
non-renewable, petroleum-based sources, in their production process. Certain large soft drink and bottled water producers have recently announced they will be sourcing their PET containers
wholly from a combination of renewable and recycled sources in the coming years. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Competitive Strengths  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe the competitive strengths of Mountain Valley include the following: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Defensive Market Niches  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Due in large part to our brand equity and consumer recognition, developed over a 140-year period, we believe our position
in the premium segment of the U.S. bottled water market, as the only nationally distributed domestic alternative to the imported products of our international competitors, would require significant
resources to duplicate. Further, the location of our springs and bottling assets in the central United States is a significant logistical advantage in the our overall cost structure versus our
international competitors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, the relative scarcity of glass bottles both for smaller, non-returnable packages as well as the larger 2.5 gallon and 5 gallon returnable packages makes it
difficult for new competitors to enter the market for bottled water packaged in glass. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Taste of Mountain Valley Spring Water  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The sweet, crisp taste of Mountain Valley water is attributed to the slow, natural filtration process that occurs as water slowly makes
its way to the underground aquifer and then returns to the surface through our three natural springs. Mountain Valley water has twice been named the "Best Tasting </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As part of a desire to live a healthier lifestyle, consumers are increasingly focused on drinking more water relative to consumption of
other beverages with the average annual per capita consumption of bottled water reaching 28.3 gallons in 2010. The slow, natural filtration process described above adds essential minerals such as
calcium, magnesium and potassium to our water. These minerals add to the perceived health benefits of premium bottled natural spring water. Further, the naturally high pH of Mountain Valley water is
prized by natural and organic consumers that desire alkaline water to help offset modern high acid diets. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Strong Brand Recognition  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe the Mountain Valley brand has long been recognized in the premium bottled water industry and identified with high quality
products. We believe that this brand recognition represents a competitive advantage in the markets in which we operate. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Environmental Awareness by Consumers  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We strive to minimize the impact that our operations and our products have on the environment. To that end, we use recycled content in
all of our glass and PET bottles; we withdraw water from the springs in a manner that does not jeopardize the long term viability of the local watershed; we work with government, industry and public
interest groups to recover and reuse as much bottled water packaging as possible. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Key Retail Relationships  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We participate in multiple retail channels both directly and indirectly through our network of retail distributors. Although a
significant portion of our retail business is attributed to food retailers, such as major grocery stores and natural products retailers, we also have relationships with "off-premise"
retailers such as wine and liquor retailers, delicatessens, and drug stores as well as "on-premise" retailers such as restaurants, in-store restaurants, resorts, country clubs,
catering companies, bars and coffee houses.
Among the retailers with whom we have existing relationships are Publix, H-E-B, Whole Foods Market, Sprouts Farmers Market, and The Fresh Market. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Historically our Home and Office Delivery (HOD) system has provided us with consistent cash flow and revenue. The over 125 independent
HOD distributors selling our products directly to consumers in their home or office provides us with a different, additional route to the consumer. HOD is only offered by a very limited number of

Water Association. Our CFO, Brad Frieberg is a co-founder of the predecessor to our Veriplas division and has over 13&nbsp;years experience in the PET containers industry and
over 7&nbsp;years experience in the bottled water industry. The experience level within the Company is deep overall as 38 of our employees have over 10&nbsp;years' tenure with the Company,
including 16 employees with over 20&nbsp;years' tenure. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Seasonality and Disaster Relief  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our business, both in our bottled water division and our Veriplas division, is subject to seasonal fluctuations, with decreased
revenues during rainy or cold weather months and
increased revenues during dry or hot weather months. Our business can also fluctuate due to demands from governmental authorities and private businesses related to natural and manmade disasters. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Marketing  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our bottled water products are marketed to consumers through both traditional marketing, with selected magazine and television
advertisements, and special or "guerilla marketing" events like wine tastings, high end charitable events, product samplings in organic and natural food stores, documentary film festivals and other
promotional opportunities. We develop consumer recognition through placement of our product in high end restaurants, spas, hotels and other premium locations. We regularly seek to place stories about
our products in free media through public relations efforts, and we gain consumer awareness of our product by supplying Mountain Valley water to movie and television production companies and for
various celebrity events. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
work with different groups, and the leaders within those groups, involved in the promotion of food and beverage education. These groups include The Southern Food&nbsp;&amp; Beverage
Museum and The Southern Foodways Alliance as well numerous local food and wine festivals. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mountain
Valley also has a new media "business to consumer" sales strategy using vehicles such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and coordinated search engine optimization programs that
drive consumers to our new e-commerce site where they can "Buy Mountain Valley Now!" or "Find a Distributor!" At the site, people wanting to order Mountain Valley can easily complete their
purchase, and delivery will be achieved through our network of HOD distributors or third parties such as UPS and FedEx. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
market our PET container products primarily at trade shows and conferences and through direct sales efforts to beverage bottlers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Bottling  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We control the bottling process at our bottling facility, which is located adjacent to the springs. We operate one fully automated
glass production line with annual production capacity of 2,300,000 to 4,600,000 cases of glass bottles and one fully automated PET production line with annual production capacity of 3,500,000 to
7,000,000 cases of PET bottles. Production capacity will vary depending on the hours scheduled for production each week and scheduled and unscheduled downtime. Currently, both of these production
lines utilize a single palletizer, and an additional
palletizer will have to be installed for us to optimize the production capacity of these lines. Additionally, we operate three production lines for our multi-gallon products. Our current production
capacity is more than sufficient to meet our reasonably foreseeable needs. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Distribution  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We market and distribute our water products through three primary channels: retail (both on-premise and
off-premise), home and office delivery (HOD) and private label. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Retail  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We participate in multiple retail channels with hundreds of chain and independent retail partners. Although a significant portion of
our retail business is attributed to food retailers, such as major grocery stores and natural products retailers, we also have relationships with other off-premise retailers such as wine
and liquor retailers, delicatessens, and drug stores as well as on-premise retailers such as restaurants, in-store restaurants and delicatessens, resorts, country clubs,
catering companies, bars and coffee houses. Among the retailers with whom we have existing relationships are Publix,
H-E-B, Whole Foods Market, Sprouts Farmers Market, and The Fresh Market. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To
service our retail outlets, we ship directly to certain retailers, we maintain a direct to store delivery ("DSD") network of distributors comprised of both alcoholic and
non-alcoholic distributors, and we utilize the warehousing and delivery capabilities of regional and national wholesale food distributors. For the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31,
2010, direct shipment to retailers accounted for approximately 1% of revenues of our bottled water division, sales to our DSD distributors accounted for approximately 7% of revenues of our bottled
water division, and sales through our network of regional and national wholesale food distributors accounted for approximately 12% of revenues of our bottled water division. The graphic below
highlights the geographic coverage area of our DSD distribution network. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
coverage of our wholesale food distributor network is nationwide with some limited presence in the Pacific and Caribbean, but it is limited to retail stores buying natural and
organic products. We have some limited international distribution with our DSD distributors in Japan, Korea, Bahrain, and Canada. International sales represent less than 1% of the revenue of our
bottled water division. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Home and Office Distribution  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our HOD distribution network allows residential and commercial customers to enjoy Mountain Valley water with direct delivery to their
home or office. Deliveries are made by our network of independently owned and operated HOD distributors. For the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2010, </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In May 2011, we launched our e-commerce initiative, which allows customers to order our bottled water products directly
from us through our internet website&#151;</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>www.mountainvalleyspring.com</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. Orders received through our website are shipped through a package
delivery company directly to the customer. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Private Label  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Revenues from private label bottling account for approximately 10% of revenues of our bottled water division. We produce product for
those customers who buy a bottled water product for something other than simply low price. We appeal to those retailers and marketers who want a proprietary shaped bottle, special labeling, and
natural spring water instead of filtered water. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Growth Strategy  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our growth strategy predominantly focuses on growing the bottled water portion of our business through increased sales, expanded
product offerings and increased production capacity. As we expand our bottled water business, we intend to utilize an increasing percentage of the manufacturing capacity of our Veriplas division to
service the internal bottling needs of our bottled water division. Specifically, we seek to increase our market share and drive growth in our bottled water business by pursuing the following
strategies: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Expand Retail Business and Sales Staff  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mountain Valley water is currently marketed and sold in 31 states in the United States pursuant to our relationships with various
retail and HOD distributors. Additionally, Mountain Valley water is currently marketed and sold at retail in 49 states through our natural and organic distribution channel and can be found in such
organic retail outlets as Whole Foods Market, The Fresh Market, Sprouts Farmers Market and many independently-owned and operated organic food stores. The natural and organic segment of the grocery
industry accounts for a small percentage of the premium bottled water market. While we intend to continue our distribution, marketing and sales efforts with various organic foods retail outlets,
management believes that the key to growing our retail bottled water business is to </FONT></P>

banquet halls, delicatessens, spas, airports, sports venues, amusement parks and other locations where consumers purchase products for immediate consumption. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To
further implement our retail growth strategy, we intend to use a portion of the proceeds from this offering to recruit and hire initially up to 20 additional highly-qualified sales
professionals and support staff. Some of these sales professionals will be "national account managers" and will make key retail account calls directly with brokers and in cooperation with the national
sales staff of independent Mountain Valley distributors to gain authorizations and develop and execute promotional schedules. Some of the sales professionals hired will be "regional sales managers"
and will work with distributors and brokers to educate and motivate their sales forces and will make key account calls in the local markets of our distributors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Regional Focus  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;According to Beverage Marketing Corporation and management estimates, sales of premium bottled water in Texas, California, Florida and
New York account for nearly 50% of the total domestic sales of the premium bottled water market. These are the areas where the Company has had a great deal of initial success with its retail strategy
and where it will focus its efforts over the next several years. In addition, the Mid South and South East regions of the United States are close in proximity to the Company's manufacturing and
production facilities, and these regions are substantially within the coverage area of the Company's established network of DSD distributors, which serve our existing retail customers, including
Publix Food Stores. We intend to focus on developing our presence in these regions more fully both at retail and on-premise locations before increasing our focus on other regions and other
retail opportunities. We believe it is
highly important to build volume regionally to both ensure sustainable consumer demand within the region but also to become viewed as a reliable and profitable supplier to our distribution and retail
partners. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Future
expansion plans will be implemented as management believes we have achieved a certain density and sustainable distribution within the regions described above. Geographic expansion
plans will include establishing or increasing our presence and sales in additional regions of the United States as well as pursuing international sales opportunities. The Company currently has limited
distribution in Canada, the Caribbean, Japan, Korea and Bahrain. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Product Line Expansion  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Management is highly conscious of the 140&nbsp;years of brand equity in Mountain Valley Spring and Sparkling Waters and is dedicated
to maintaining and enhancing the natural, premium, and "American based" strengths of the brand. Management believes there are certain opportunities within the Mountain Valley brand equity to expand
stock-keeping unit (or SKU) offerings, which may include the addition of flavor essences within the sparkling line and other formulations. Offering additional SKUs will help us establish a larger and
more prominent relationship with retailers and distributors. Expansion of the brand will also help maximize manufacturing efficiencies and improve distribution logistics as customers increase the
average size of their purchases from us. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Expand Marketing  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To drive consumer interest of both retail and HOD product offerings, the Company currently markets its products in a low cost,
event-oriented method generally known as "guerilla" marketing. These marketing efforts have been supplemented with limited magazine, web-based, and affiliate programs, including
sponsorship of television host and gardening expert P. Allen Smith's various media endeavors (which include two television shows broadcast on PBS, a nationally-syndicated cable </FONT></P>

our "guerilla marketing" efforts in the future and will use a portion of the proceeds from this offering to increase our expenditures in this area. In addition, although we have not paid "slotting
fees" or other fees to gain access to retail shelf space in the past, we may use a portion of the proceeds from the
offering to take advantage of significant opportunities, including the payment of slotting fees, as they present themselves. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
intend to use a portion of the proceeds from this offering to promote Mountain Valley branded products onsite at retail locations. Periodic promotions for bulk purchases, new items,
or seasonal specials have proven successful at generating significant consumer demand in the past and we expect to continue these activities to further increase consumer demand and retailer acceptance
of our products in the future. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Bottling Capabilities  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bottling capacity is sufficient for our short term growth plans for our bottled water business, but we plan to enhance our production
capabilities over time with respect to quantity, types of packaging, and types of beverages. The increased flexibility of manufacturing will not only allow us to sell more types of Mountain Valley
product but also supply a broader variety of "enhanced water" private label product than we currently produce. As a step toward implementing this strategy, we plan to purchase new equipment for our
bottling facility in Hot Springs, Arkansas that will enable us to substantially increase our output of both bottled water and "enhanced water" products. We plan to fund the purchase of this equipment
with a portion of the proceeds received in this offering. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Expand Existing Retail Relationships  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe we have opportunities, directly and indirectly through our distributors, to increase store penetration with our existing
retail relationships. Most of the retailers currently carrying Mountain Valley branded products could expand the number of SKUs that they carry by adding multipacks, additional glass or PET packaging,
single serve packages for "grab-and-go" coolers in their prepared food sections, or cases for their bulk item aisles. One of the goals of our growth strategy is to generally
increase the number of SKUs carried by our retail partners. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Increase HOD Accounts  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We work with our independently-owned HOD distributors to grow the number of HOD accounts. We do this by funding local efforts through
our Growth Attainment Program that financially rewards distributors who grow their customer base. We also work with our HOD distributors to utilize our combined web presences to drive consumers
looking for Mountain Valley to our web-based fulfillment center. Our web site allows an end-user to locate and contact a Mountain Valley HOD distributor within their zip code.
We expect to expend more resources and increase efforts through social media and internet marketing to increase our HOD account volume in the future. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Strategic Acquisitions  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, management will consider making strategic acquisitions in both the HOD and retail markets if opportunities become
available. However, we have no current agreements or plans for proposed acquisitions and may ultimately determine not to make any acquisitions in the future. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of September&nbsp;30, 2011, we had 107 full time employees, of which 10 serve as our sales team. Following the effectiveness of

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe our intellectual property provides a competitive advantage and we have invested substantial time, effort and capital in
establishing and protecting our intellectual property rights. We have filed and maintain certain trademark registrations. We consider our Mountain Valley name and related trademarks such as "America's
Premium Water since 1871&#153;" and "Consider the Source&#153;" to be valuable to our business and the establishment of a nationally-branded premium bottled water. We rely on a
combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and other arrangements to protect our proprietary rights. We own 7 United States registered federal trademarks, including registrations for
our Mountain Valley name in conjunction with our Spring and Sparkling brands and their distinctive trade dress. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Competition  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We compete as a brand owner in the premium segment of the U.S. bottled water market, which we estimate to be approximately 10% of the
$10.6&nbsp;billion total U.S. bottled water market. The competitors in the premium segment include large international companies Nestle (Perrier, San Pelligrino, Panna), Groupe Danone (Evian), Roll
International (Fiji), and others. For 2010, the sales of our bottled water division represented less than 1% of the U.S. premium segment market and the Company faces serious competition in achieving
its growth targets. Our competitive advantages include the fact that we are a centrally-located, domestic supplier with marketing and logistic advantages over our international competitors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
PET container market is composed of large international companies including Amcor, Graham Packaging, Plastipak, and Constar. We compete in the PET container market by focusing our
sales efforts on small and mid-sized beverage companies not fully served by the larger companies, who need special packaging, mixed loads of products, pre-labeling of the
containers, and guaranteed delivery in peak season. </FONT></P>

water to be a common use resource rather than private property. The riparian rights doctrine attaches a water right to land adjacent to a water course. All landowners have the right to make reasonable
use of water on or bordering their property. However, the water use cannot unreasonably diminish the quality or quantity of water to neighboring landowners. The concept of reasonable use depends on
balancing the interests of all the "common owners." The rights created by the balancing process may change with circumstances over time. The riparian rights doctrine applies to all natural bodies of
water including streams, lakes, ponds and marshes. Under the riparian rights doctrine, rights remain with the property when it changes hands. The Arkansas Natural Resources Commission (ANRC) was
established to serve as the State of Arkansas' water resources planning and management agency. As such, ANRC has initial legislative authority to resolve disputes among competing parties for water
rights. We own over 2,000 acres in the aggregate surrounding the springs. Pursuant to the riparian rights doctrine, we have a legal right to capture and bottle the water flowing from our springs. We
believe that our use of the spring water is reasonable and in compliance with the riparian rights doctrine. </FONT></P>

of safety for human consumption, identity, quality and labeling. Further, the sale and marketing of our products is subject to the FDA's advertising and promotion requirements and restrictions. In
addition, the FDA has established current "good manufacturing practice" regulations, which govern the facilities, methods, practices and controls used for the processing, bottling and distribution of
bottled drinking water. We and our third-party distribution partners are subject to these requirements. We also must comply with overlapping and sometimes inconsistent state regulations in various
jurisdictions. As a result, we must expend resources to continuously monitor state legislative and regulatory activities for purposes of identifying and ensuring compliance with the laws and
regulations that apply to our bottled water business in each state in which we operate. While we must meet the government-mandated </FONT></P>

SIZE=2><B>James B. "Breck" Speed III</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> was appointed to the Board in 2011. Mr.&nbsp;Speed currently serves as Chairman of the Board and the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and President. Mr.&nbsp;Speed is also the President and CEO of the Operating Company, positions he has held since 2004. He currently serves on the board of
directors and various committees of the International Bottled Water Association. Mr.&nbsp;Speed has over 23&nbsp;years of experience in the bottled water business, having owned one of the largest
distributors of Mountain Valley water prior to joining the Operating Company. As the executive who provides overall direction for the Company, Mr.&nbsp;Speed offers a valuable,
first-hand perspective of the Company's day-to-day operations to the remainder of the Board. The Board believes that it is important that the Company's CEO serve on
the Board because the CEO is in the best position to understand the challenges and issues facing the Company. The Board believes that the same experience, attributes and skills that qualify
Mr.&nbsp;Speed to serve as the Company's CEO equally qualify him to serve as Chairman of the Board. For these reasons, the Board believes that Mr.&nbsp;Speed is qualified to serve on the Board and
as its Chairman. </FONT></P>

Directors of J.B. Hunt Transport Services,&nbsp;Inc. ("J.B. Hunt"), one of the largest surface transportation, delivery and logistics companies in North America. Prior to assuming the role of
Chairman of the Board of J.B. Hunt in January 2011, Mr.&nbsp;Thompson served as Chief Executive Officer of J.B. Hunt from 1987 until December 2010. Mr.&nbsp;Thompson joined J.B. Hunt in 1973 and
is a Certified Public Accountant. Mr.&nbsp;Thompson's expansive corporate management experience at a publicly-traded company provides him the ability to understand and address the challenges and
issues facing the Company, especially following its initial public offering. His proven track record as the CEO and Chairman of J.B. Hunt, in addition to his financial acumen and strong ties to the
business community, makes Mr.&nbsp;Thompson an invaluable addition to the Company's Board. The Board believes that Mr.&nbsp;Thompson's extensive management experience, proven leadership
capabilities, and understanding of the operations of a publicly-traded company qualify him to serve on the Board. </FONT></P>

SIZE=2><B>Bill P. Hardin</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> was appointed to the Board in 2011. Mr.&nbsp;Hardin retired from public service in 2005 after a diverse,
35-year career in the public sector. Capping a distinguished career in law enforcement, which included 28&nbsp;years as an agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation,

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr.&nbsp;Speed
serves as the Chairman of the Board and the Company's Chief Executive Officer. Mr.&nbsp;Thompson serves as the Lead Independent Director. The Board believes that
combining the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and having a Lead Independent Director provides an efficient and effective leadership model for the Company, combining
clarity on strategy and decision-making with effective independent oversight. The Board believes that the combined role of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer promotes unified leadership
and direction and provides a single leader to guide the Company in executing its business strategy. The Board does not believe that the Board's independence is compromised by having a single person
serve as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes that having a Lead Independent Director ensures that a strong, independent director leads the Board's independent
directors and is a single point of contact for the Chairman on most routine board items, especially between meetings. The Board believes this structure avoids the management issues that often arise
when the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer duties are separated. Further, a Lead Independent Director helps facilitate dialogue between the Board and stockholders by specifically
identifying an independent director available for consultation and communication. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Risk Oversight  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board has delegated to the audit committee, consisting solely of independent directors, the responsibility to oversee the
assessment and management of the Company's risks, including reviewing with management significant risk exposures potentially facing the Company and the policies and steps implemented by management to
identify, assess, manage and monitor such exposures. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Director Independence  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon the closing of this offering, we anticipate that our common stock will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Under the
applicable Nasdaq listing standards, independent directors must generally comprise a majority of a listed company's Board of Directors within a specified period following the closing of its initial
public offering. In addition, Nasdaq's listing rules require that, subject to specific exceptions, each member of a listed company's audit committee and those members of the board of directors
determining executive compensation and director nominations be independent. Audit committee members also must satisfy the independence criteria set forth in rule&nbsp;10A-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the Nasdaq listing rules, a director will only qualify as an "independent director" if, in the opinion of the company's board of directors, that person does not
have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
order to be considered independent for purposes of rule&nbsp;10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), a member of an audit committee of a
listed company may
not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors or any other board committee: (1)&nbsp;accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory or
other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or (2)&nbsp;be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After
reviewing all relevant relationships and considering Nasdaq's requirements for independence, the Board of Directors has concluded that Messrs.&nbsp;Thompson, Whipple, Rodgers and
Hardin are independent under applicable listing rules. No director or executive officer of the Company is related to any other director or executive officer of the Company by blood, marriage or
adoption. In making these determinations, our Board of Directors considered the relationships that each non-employee director has with our Company and all other facts and circumstances our
Board of Directors deemed </FONT></P>

to NASDAQ Rule&nbsp;5615(b)(1) and Exchange Act Rule&nbsp;10A-3(b)(1)(iv)(A), we are permitted to phase in our compliance with the independent audit committee
requirements set forth in NASDAQ Rule&nbsp;5605(c)(2)(A) and Exchange Act Rule&nbsp;10A-3(b)(1)(iv)(A). Under these rules, we can phase in our audit committee independence as follows:
(1)&nbsp;one independent member at the time of listing; (2)&nbsp;a majority of independent members within 90&nbsp;days of listing; and (3)&nbsp;all independent members within one year of
listing. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
Board has determined that Messrs.&nbsp;Whipple and Rodgers, two of the three members of our audit committee, satisfy audit committee independence requirements under NASDAQ
Rule&nbsp;5605(c)(2)(A) and Exchange Act Rule&nbsp;10A-3. Within one year of our listing on the NASDAQ, it is our intention to have an audit committee comprised of all independent

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In accordance with our bylaws, our Board of Directors has established three standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We maintain the Mountain Valley Spring Company,&nbsp;LLC 401(k) Plan (the "401(k) Plan"). Employees are eligible to participate in
the 401(k) Plan upon completing one year of service with the Company. Employees may contribute between 1% and 15% of their eligible wages, subject to the maximum indexed dollar amount set by the
Internal Revenue Service, which was $16,500 for 2010. We will match $0.50 on each dollar contributed up to 4% of eligible wages. Matched contributions are 100% vested on the third anniversary of the
employee's date of hire. Participants direct the investment of their account in the 401(k) Plan, selecting from investment funds provided under the 401(k) Plan. Participants receive quarterly benefit
statements that provide information on their account balances. Plan benefits are paid as soon as administratively possible following the participant's distribution request. Our named executive
officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Given our previous privately-held limited liability company structure, in the past, we have not issued any options or other
equity awards to our named executive officers. Accordingly, none of our named executive officers had any outstanding equity awards such as unexercised options, stock that has not vested or equity
incentive plan awards as of December&nbsp;31, 2010. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The compensation committee has reviewed the Company's compensation program and does not believe that it encourages excessive or
unnecessary risk taking. Base salaries are fixed in amount and thus do not encourage risk taking. Upon the effectiveness of this offering, the Board will adopt the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The
compensation committee believes that the long-term equity compensation paid pursuant to the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan will align our executive officers' objectives with those of our
long-term stockholders. </FONT></P>

audit committee will not approve or ratify a related person transaction unless it determines that, upon consideration of all relevant information, the transaction is in, or is not
inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. No related person transaction will be consummated without the approval or ratification of our audit committee, and directors
interested in a related person transaction will recuse themselves from any vote relating to a related person transaction in which they have an interest. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Related Party Transactions  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since January&nbsp;1, 2010 and through the date of this prospectus, except as set forth below, no transactions have occurred in which
the Company or any of its subsidiaries was or is to be a participant and in which any of our directors, officers, holders of more than five percent of our voting securities or affiliates of our
directors, officers and five percent stockholders had a material interest. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective
January&nbsp;1, 2011, the Operating Company underwent a recapitalization. Pursuant to the recapitalization, (1)&nbsp;creditors holding approximately $30&nbsp;million in
notes payable from the Operating
Company and related warrants to purchase units of the Operating Company agreed to convert the indebtedness into new Class&nbsp;C membership units and surrender the warrants; (2)&nbsp;the former
holders of Series&nbsp;A Preferred Units and related warrants to purchase additional units of the Operating Company agreed to convert their units to new Class&nbsp;A membership units and surrender
their warrants and (3)&nbsp;the former common membership unit holders agreed to convert their units to new Class&nbsp;B membership units. In connection with the recapitalization, the members
amended and restated the Operating Company's operating agreement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
connection with the January&nbsp;1, 2011 recapitalization, William Bell, a former member of the Board of Directors of the Operating Company who also owned interests in Veriplas
Containers&nbsp;II,&nbsp;LLC assigned such interests to the Company in exchange for his release from a personal guaranty on a note issued by Veriplas Containers&nbsp;II,&nbsp;LLC to an
affiliate of one our Class&nbsp;C Members. At the time of the assignment and release, the note had an unpaid balance of $3,976,419. Following this transaction, Veriplas
Containers&nbsp;II,&nbsp;LLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Prior to the recapitalization, the Company owned approximately 63% of the membership interests of Veriplas
Containers&nbsp;II,&nbsp;LLC. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company outsources its logistics and delivery operations to J.B.&nbsp;Hunt Transport Services,&nbsp;Inc. ("J.B.&nbsp;Hunt"). Pursuant to this arrangement, which was negotiated
on an arm's length basis, the Company pays J.B.&nbsp;Hunt's standard rates, with aggregate annual payments of approximately $1.5&nbsp;million. Johnelle Hunt, who beneficially owns approximately
17% of the voting stock of J.B.&nbsp;Hunt, indirectly owns MV Holdings,&nbsp;LLC, which owns approximately 85% of the Company's voting equity (prior to giving effect to the Reorganization or the
offering). Because of the common and substantial beneficial ownership of Ms.&nbsp;Hunt of each of these entities, the Company and J.B.&nbsp;Hunt may be deemed to be affiliates of one another.
Additionally, one of our directors, James&nbsp;K. Thompson, serves as the chairman of the board of J.B.&nbsp;Hunt. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following is a summary of our capital stock and provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as each will be in
effect upon the closing of this offering, and certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"). Because it is a summary, it may not contain all the information
that is important to you and does not purport to be complete. Reference is made to the more detailed provisions of, and the descriptions are qualified in their entirety by, the certificate of
incorporation and bylaws, copies of which are filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and the DGCL. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Reorganization  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Historically, we have conducted and, following completion of this offering, will continue to conduct our business affairs through,
Mountain Valley Spring Company,&nbsp;LLC, generally referred to in this prospectus as the "Operating Company," an Arkansas limited liability company. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
anticipation of this offering, the Operating Company incorporated Mountain Valley Spring Company, generally referred to in this prospectus as the "Holding Company," a Delaware
corporation, as its direct, wholly-owned subsidiary for the purpose of effecting a transaction whereby the Holding Company would become the parent of the Operating Company (the "Reorganization").
Subsequent to its incorporation, the Holding Company formed Sage Merger Sub,&nbsp;LLC, an Arkansas limited liability company ("Merger Sub"), as its wholly-owned subsidiary solely for the purpose of
facilitating the Reorganization. Immediately prior to the closing of this offering, the Operating Company will merge with Merger Sub, with the Operating Company surviving the merger (the "Merger").
The Operating Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding Company as a result of the Merger and our business will continue to be conducted by and through the Operating Company. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prior
to the Merger, holders of Class&nbsp;A membership units represented 4.9% of the outstanding voting equity of the Operating Company, holders of Class&nbsp;B membership units
represented 10% of the outstanding voting equity of the Operating Company, and Class&nbsp;C membership units represented 85.1% of the outstanding voting equity of the Operating Company. In the
Merger, each membership unit in the Operating Company will be converted into shares of common stock of the Holding Company. Following the Merger and the completion of this offering, and assuming that
the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional shares from the Selling Stockholder, the former Class&nbsp;A membership unit holders of the Operating Company will collectively
hold [&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#149;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;]% of the outstanding common stock of the Holding Company, the former Class&nbsp;B membership unit holders will collectively
hold [&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#149;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;]% of the outstanding common stock of the Holding Company, and the former Class&nbsp;C membership holders will collectively
hold [&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#149;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;]% of the outstanding common stock of the Holding Company. Following the completion of the Reorganization, the Holding Company
will own 100% of the equity interests in the Operating Company. The following chart provides the historical and pro forma ownership of each of the Class&nbsp;A, Class&nbsp;B and Class&nbsp;C
members of the Operating Company </FONT></P>

meeting, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to the Company at our principal executive offices not less than 90&nbsp;days nor more than 120&nbsp;days prior to the anniversary date of the
immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is changed by more than 30&nbsp;days from such anniversary date, notice

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
an uncontested election of directors, directors will be elected by a majority of the votes cast, whether in person or represented by proxy. If an incumbent director in an uncontested
election fails to receive a majority of the votes cast, he or she is required to tender his or her resignation to the board of directors, which is required to accept or reject such resignation with
90&nbsp;days of the certification of the results of the failed election. In a contested election of directors, the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in
person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting of stockholders and entitled to vote in the election of directors. Holders of our common stock will not be entitled to cumulate votes in the

directors and transact such other business as properly may be brought before the meeting. Our bylaws provide that written notice of any meeting of stockholders must be given to each stockholder
entitled to vote at such meeting not less than 10 nor more than 60&nbsp;days before the date of the meeting. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stockholders

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of stockholders.
With respect to any matter other than certain elections of directors (as discussed above), the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and
entitled to vote on the subject matter shall decide every question submitted to the stockholders at a meeting at which a quorum is present. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Special
meetings of stockholders may be called only by the Company's Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
certificate of incorporation provides that stockholders are not permitted to take action by written consent. Instead, any action required or permitted to be taken by the Company's

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The DGCL provides that a corporation can, by a provision in its certificate of incorporation, limit a director's liability for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; provided, however, that a corporation cannot limit a director's liability for: any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or
its stockholders; acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; payment of a dividend or the repurchase or redemption of stock in violation
of Delaware law; or any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
certificate of incorporation provides that to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, no director of the Company will be liable to the Company or its stockholders for damages
arising from a breach of fiduciary duty owed to the Company or its stockholders. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Indemnification  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our certificate of incorporation requires the Company to indemnify any person to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL who was or is
a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding because he is or was a director or officer of the Company, or, while a director, officer
or other employee of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise. In addition, the Company, to the fullest extent authorized under Delaware law, will pay in advance of the final disposition of any such proceeding all expenses incurred by any director or
officer in connection with such proceeding. The Company may, by action of its board of directors, provide indemnification to its employees and agents with the same or lesser scope and effect as the
foregoing indemnification of directors and officers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company is also authorized to purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
right to indemnification is not exclusive of any other right which that individual may have or hereafter acquire under the our certificate of incorporation or under any statute,
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
believe that the limitation of liability and indemnification provisions discussed above are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced directors and officers. The
provisions, however, may
discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation
against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. A stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay
the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these provisions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Exclusive Forum Provision  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our certificate of incorporation provides that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum or the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware determines that an indispensible party is not subject to the jurisdiction of the Delaware courts but can be joined in another forum in the United States, the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, any action asserting a claim of breach of a
fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company's stockholders, any action asserting a claim against the Company arising pursuant to any
provision of the DGCL or the Company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or any action asserting a claim against the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine. </FONT></P>

bylaws. The stockholders also have the ability to make, repeal, alter, amend and rescind our bylaws by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares, except that a
two-thirds vote is required for the stockholders to amend the bylaws sections related to bringing matters before an annual stockholder meeting, nominating and electing directors and
filling vacancies on the board of directors, and the procedures required to amend our bylaws. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Blank Check Preferred Stock.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our board of directors can at any time, under our certificate of incorporation and without stockholder
approval, issue
one or more new series of preferred stock. In
some cases, the issuance of preferred stock could discourage or make more difficult attempts to take control of us through a merger, tender offer, proxy context or otherwise. Preferred stock with
special voting rights or other features issued to persons favoring our management could stop a takeover by preventing the person trying to take control of us from acquiring enough voting shares to
take control. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Authorized but Unissued Shares.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock are available for future issuances without
stockholder approval
and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and
unreserved common stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No Cumulative Voting.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The DGCL provides that stockholders are not entitled to the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors

Section&nbsp;203 of the DGCL prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination (as defined in such section) with an "interested stockholder" (defined generally as any
person who beneficially owns 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of such corporation or any person affiliated with such person) for a period of three years following the time that such
stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: (1)&nbsp;prior to such time the board of directors of such corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted
in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; (2)&nbsp;upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder
owned at least 85% of the voting stock of such corporation at the time the transaction commenced (excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock of such corporation outstanding (but not the
outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned (a)&nbsp;by persons who are directors and also officers of such corporation and (b)&nbsp;by employee stock plans in
which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer); or (3)&nbsp;at or subsequent to
such time the business combination is approved by the board of directors of such corporation and authorized at a meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of
the outstanding voting stock of such corporation not owned by the interested stockholder. </FONT></P>

which such action may be taken. The inability of our stockholders to act by written consent may lengthen the amount of time required to take stockholder actions. As a result, stockholders will not be

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prior to this offering, there has been no market for our common stock, and a liquid trading market for our common stock may not develop
or be sustained after this offering. Future sales of amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of
our common stock. Furthermore, since only a limited number of shares will be available for sale shortly after this offering because of certain contractual and legal restrictions on resale described
below, sales of amounts of our common stock in the public market after the restrictions lapse could also adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to raise equity capital
in the future. See "Risk Factors." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon the closing of this offering, we will have outstanding an aggregate of
[&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#149;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;]&nbsp;shares of our common stock. Of these shares, all of the shares sold in this offering will be freely transferable without
restriction or registration under the
Securities Act, except for any shares purchased by one of our existing "affiliates," as that term is defined in Rule&nbsp;144 under the Securities Act, who may sell only the volume of shares
described below and whose sales would be subject to additional restrictions described below. The remaining [&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#149;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;]&nbsp;shares of common
stock will be held by our existing stockholders and will be considered "restricted securities" as defined in Rule&nbsp;144. Of these restricted securities,
[&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#149;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;]&nbsp;shares will be subject to transfer restrictions for 180&nbsp;days from the date of this prospectus pursuant to the
lock-up agreements described in the section entitled "Underwriting." Restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if registered or if they qualify for an exemption from
registration under Rule&nbsp;144 of the Securities Act, as described below. </FONT></P>

the shares of common stock of the Holding Company issued to the former members of the Operating Company in the Reorganization were issued pursuant to an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, those shares are deemed "restricted securities" and may only be resold pursuant to a valid registration statement or an exemption from registration. The
Company does not currently intend to file a registration statement to effect the sale of any of these shares. Accordingly, all of the former members of the Operating Company must satisfy the holding
period requirements of Rule&nbsp;144, which holding period commences upon the consummation of the Reorganization, before they may sell their shares of common stock of the Holding Company. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>Neither
we, nor the underwriters can assure investors that an active trading market will develop for our common stock, or that the shares will trade in the public market at or above the public
offering price. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Persons
into whose possession this prospectus comes are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to the offering and the distribution of this
prospectus. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or a
solicitation is unlawful. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Stabilization  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, which involve making bids for, purchasing
and selling shares of common stock in the open market for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock while this offering is in progress. These stabilizing
transactions may include making short sales of the common stock. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares of common stock than they are required to purchase in
this offering. Short sales may be "covered" shorts or may be "naked" shorts. "Covered" short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriter's option to purchase additional shares
of common stock from the Selling Stockholder in the offering. The underwriter may close out any covered short position by either exercising its option to purchase additional shares or purchasing
shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriter will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in
the open market as compared to the price at which it may purchase additional shares pursuant to the option granted to it. "Naked" short sales are any sales in excess of such option. The underwriter
may close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there may be downward pressure
on the price of the common stock in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
underwriters have advised us that, pursuant to Regulation&nbsp;M promulgated under the Securities Act, they may also engage in other activities that stabilize, maintain or
otherwise affect the price of the common stock, including the imposition of penalty bids. This means that if the representatives of the
underwriters purchase common stock in the open market in stabilizing transactions or to cover short sales, the representatives can require the underwriter that sold those shares as part of this
offering to repay the underwriting discount received by them. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These
activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock, and, as
a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the underwriter commences these activities, it may discontinue them at any time.

long or short positions in our debt or equity securities or loans, and may do so in the future. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other
than in the United States, no action has been taken by us or the underwriters that would permit a public offering of the securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction

advertisements in connection with
the offer and sale of any such securities be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have also agreed to issue to Rodman&nbsp;&amp; Renshaw, LLC a common stock purchase warrant to purchase a number of our common stock equal to an aggregate of five percent (5%) percent
of the shares sold in the offering. The warrant will have an exercise price equal to 125% of the offering price of the shares sold in this offering. The warrant is exercisable commencing one year (1)
year after the effective date of this offering, and will be exercisable, in whole or in part, for four (4) years thereafter. The warrant is not redeemable by us, and allows for "cashless" exercise.
The warrant also provides for one demand registration right and unlimited "piggyback" registration rights at our expense with respect to the underlying shares of common stock during the four (4) year
period commencing one (1) year after the effective date of this offering. Pursuant to the rules of FINRA (formerly the NASD), and in particular Rule&nbsp;5110, the warrant (and underlying shares)
issued to Rodman&nbsp;&amp; Renshaw, LLC may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would
result in the effective disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180&nbsp;days immediately following the effective date of this offering; provided, however, that the warrant (and
underlying shares) may be transferred to officers or partners of Rodman&nbsp;&amp; Renshaw, LLC and members of the underwriting syndicate as long as the warrants (and underlying shares) remain subject
to the lockup. </FONT></P>

have also agreed to pay the underwriter expenses relating to the offering, including (a)&nbsp;all fees, expenses and disbursements relating to background checks of our officers and

"road show" expenses; and (d)&nbsp;an advance of $50,000 against the 1% non-accountable expense allowance payable to the underwriter's in this offering. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following discussion summarizes certain material U.S. federal income and estate tax considerations relating to the acquisition,
ownership and disposition of our common stock purchased in this offering by a non-U.S. holder (as defined below). This discussion is based on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and current administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as in effect as of the date hereof. All
of these authorities may be subject to differing interpretations or repealed, revoked or modified, possibly with retroactive effect, which could materially alter the tax consequences to
non-U.S. holders described in this prospectus. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There
can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a contrary position to the tax consequences described herein or that such position will not be sustained by a court. No ruling from
the IRS has been obtained with respect to the U.S. federal income or estate tax consequences to a non-U.S. holder of the purchase, ownership or disposition of our common stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This
discussion assumes that a prospective non-U.S. holder will hold shares of our common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section&nbsp;1221 of the Code
(generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income and estate taxation that may be relevant to a particular non-U.S. holder in
light of that non-U.S. holder's individual circumstances. In addition, this discussion does not address any aspect of U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. state or U.S. local or
non-U.S. taxes, or the special tax rules applicable to particular non-U.S. holders, such as: </FONT></P>

individual may be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a resident of the United States in any calendar year by being present in the United States for at least
183&nbsp;days during the taxable year. If the individual is present in the United States fewer than 183&nbsp;days, the individual may still be treated as a resident of the United States if such
individual is present in the United States for at least 31&nbsp;days in that calendar year and for an aggregate of at least 183&nbsp;days during a three-year period ending in the
current calendar year, and such individual has a closer connection to the United States than to any foreign country. The 183-day test is determined by counting all of the days the
individual is treated as being present in the current year, one-third of such days in the immediately preceding year and one-sixth of such days in the second preceding year.
Residents are subject to U.S. federal income tax as if they were U.S. citizens. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
a partnership or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is an owner of our common stock, the treatment of a partner in the partnership generally

advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our common stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Distributions on Our Common Stock  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any distribution on our common stock paid to non-U.S. holders will generally constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income
tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated
earnings and profits will generally constitute a return of capital to the extent of the non-U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in our common stock, and will be applied against and reduce the
non-U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis but not below zero. Any remaining excess will likely be treated as capital gain, subject to the tax treatment described below in "Gain on Sale,
Exchange or Other Disposition of Our Common Stock." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dividends
paid to a non-U.S. holder that are not treated as effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States
generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% on the gross amount paid, unless the non-U.S. holder is entitled to an exemption from or reduced rate
of withholding under an applicable income tax treaty. In order to claim the benefit of a tax treaty, a non-U.S. holder must provide a properly executed IRS Form&nbsp;W-8BEN
(or successor form) including a United States taxpayer identification number prior to the payment of dividends. A non-U.S. holder eligible for a reduced rate of withholding pursuant to an
income tax treaty may be eligible to obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dividends
paid to a non-U.S. holder that are treated as effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the non-U.S. holder within the United States
(and, if an applicable income tax treaty so provides, are also attributable to a permanent establishment or a fixed base maintained within the United States by the non-U.S. holder) are
generally exempt from the 30% withholding tax if the non-U.S. holder satisfies applicable certification and disclosure requirements. To obtain the exemption, a non-U.S. holder
must provide us with a properly executed IRS Form&nbsp;W-8ECI (or successor form) </FONT></P>

been and are not currently, and do not anticipate becoming in the future, a "United States real property holding corporation" for U.S. federal income tax purposes. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We must report annually to the IRS and to each non-U.S. holder the amount of distributions paid to such holder and the
amount of tax withheld, if any. These informational reporting requirements apply even if no withholding was required because the distributions were effectively connected with the holder's conduct of a
United States trade or business, or withholding was reduced or eliminated by an applicable income tax treaty. Copies of the information returns filed with the IRS to report the distributions and
withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in a country in which the non-U.S. holder is a resident under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty or agreement. </FONT></P>

common stock made by a non-U.S. holder within the United States or conducted through certain U.S. financial intermediaries if the payor receives the certification of foreign status
described in the preceding sentence and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such non-U.S. holder is a U.S. person or the non-U.S. holder otherwise

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Backup
withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a non-U.S. holder can be refunded or credited against the
non-U.S. holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that certain required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner. </FONT></P>

trust with respect to which the individual has retained certain interests or powers), of an interest in our common stock will be, absent an
applicable treaty, required to include the value of the common stock in his or her gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes and may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax as our common stock

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Legislation has been recently enacted that imposes significant certification, information reporting and other requirements on "foreign
financial institutions" and certain other non-U.S. entities. The legislation is generally effective for certain U.S.-source payments made after December&nbsp;31, 2012. The failure to
comply with the certification, information reporting and other specified requirements in the legislation would result in withholding tax of 30% being imposed on payments of dividends and sales
proceeds on our common stock to foreign financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. holders. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the
application of this legislation to them. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mountain Valley Spring Company,&nbsp;LLC and Subsidiaries as of December&nbsp;31, 2009 and 2010, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, members' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December&nbsp;31, 2010. The Company's management is
responsible
for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no opinion. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mountain Valley Spring Company,&nbsp;LLC and
Subsidiaries as of December&nbsp;31, 2009 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December&nbsp;31, 2010
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. </FONT></P>

Company agreed to convert the indebtedness into new Class&nbsp;C member units and surrender the warrants; (2)&nbsp;the former holders of Series&nbsp;A preferred units and related warrants to

Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")&nbsp;2010-09, "Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements," which amended Accounting Standards
Codification ("ASC")&nbsp;855, "Subsequent Events." These consolidated financial statements considered subsequent events through December&nbsp;2, 2011, the date the consolidated financial
statements were available to be issued. The settlement of this dispute was previously accrued in the December&nbsp;31, 2009 and 2010 consolidated financial statements, see Note&nbsp;11 for further
discussion. The Company is in the process of filing an initial public offering, the proceeds of which will be used for working capital purposes. There were no other material subsequent events during

principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

are issued that may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company's management and its legal counsel assess such
contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted
claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company's legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a
contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has occurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's
consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then
the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not
disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.

quarterly results. The Company has historically generated a greater percentage of sales during the warm weather months of April through September. Timing of customer purchases will vary each year and
sales can be expected to shift from one quarter to the next. As a result, management believes the period to period comparisons of results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be
relied upon as any indication of future performances or results for the fiscal year.

reserve for specific amounts that management feels may not be collected. In addition, the Company has established a general reserve for potential uncollectible accounts based on historical bad debts.
Past due status is determined based upon contractual terms. Amounts are written off at the point when collection attempts on the accounts have been exhausted. Management uses significant judgment in
estimating uncollectible amounts. In estimating uncollectible amounts, management considers factors such as current overall economic conditions, industry-specific economic conditions,
historical customer performance and anticipated customer performance. While management believes the Company's processes effectively address its exposure to doubtful accounts, changes in economic,
industry or specific customer conditions may require adjustments to the allowance recorded by the Company. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $547,776, $603,939 and $495,075 at
December&nbsp;31, 2009, December&nbsp;31, 2010 and September&nbsp;30, 2011, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company maintains a revolving line of credit that matured October&nbsp;31, 2011. Advances of $43,231 and $600,251 were outstanding under the line of credit at December&nbsp;31,
2010 and September&nbsp;30, 2011, respectively. There were no outstanding advances at December&nbsp;31, 2009. Amounts available under the line of credit are based upon a monthly borrowing base
calculation. The Company's credit agreement contains covenants to maintain certain financial tests and ratios, including maintaining certain limits for senior debt leverage ratio, total leverage ratio
and fixed charge coverage ratio. The covenants also impose restrictions as to indebtedness, liens, consolidating mergers, disposition of assets, investments, sale lease-back transactions,
ownership, dividends and other distributions. As of September&nbsp;30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with these covenants except for those identified in Section&nbsp;5.03(c) of the revolving
line of credit agreement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The senior subordinated notes payable represent four note agreements. These notes were issued over a period from 2002 to 2004. The
maturities of these notes were subsequently extended on various dates. In conjunction with the original issuance of these notes, the Company issued warrants for member units. Accrued interest of $4.9
and $6.6&nbsp;million as of December&nbsp;31, 2009 and 2010, respectively, was recorded in accrued liabilities. On January,&nbsp;1, 2011, the
Company completed a debt recapitalization whereby the senior subordinated notes payable were extinguished along with accrued interest of $6.6&nbsp;million in exchange for Class&nbsp;C member
units. In addition, all warrants were cancelled. The Company accounted for this transaction in accordance with ASC&nbsp;470-10-60, "Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors."
This resulted in the recognition of a gain on the extinguishment of debt in the amount of $7,647,000. </FONT></P>

of days outstanding and other information. </FONT></P>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In October 2009, the Company (the "Defendant") was a party to a lawsuit initiated by a former distributor (the "Plaintiff"). The lawsuit was tried before a jury resulting in judgments
being obtained by both the Plaintiff and Defendant. These judgments were then subsequently appealed by both parties and a series of motions were filed. On July&nbsp;19, 2011, the Eighth Circuit
Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the Plaintiff in the amount of $861,275 and in favor of the Defendant in the amount of $183,341. The ruling of $861,275 was included in other current liabilities at
December&nbsp;31, 2010. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Both
the Plaintiff and Defendant have filed motions seeking recovery of legal fees related to the lawsuit of approximately $2.8&nbsp;million and $1.3&nbsp;million, respectively. This
matter is pending before the court. Management, with the advice of legal counsel, is unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of this matter. A shareholder of the Company, owning substantially the
entire Class&nbsp;C member units, has agreed to contribute capital to the Company in the event the outcome of the dispute over legal fees is unfavorable to the Company. The shareholder will receive
no additional equity for this contribution. The Company has expensed all legal fees they have incurred to date on this matter and to the extent an unfavorable judgment is received and the Company is
required to reimburse Plaintiff legal fees the Company will record additional legal expense. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") grants a Delaware corporation the power to indemnify directors,
officers, employees, and agents under some circumstances, and mandates indemnification under certain limited circumstances. The DGCL permits a corporation to indemnify a director, officer, employee or
agent for expenses actually and reasonably incurred, as well as fines, judgments and amounts paid in settlement in the context of actions, suits or
proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than derivative actions) threatened, pending or completed against such person by reason of the fact that the person is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification
against expenses incurred by a director or officer of a corporation in connection with his or her defense in a proceeding against such person for actions in such capacity is mandatory to the extent
that such person has been successful on the merits. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
DGCL also permits a corporation to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in a derivative action if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation. If, however, the director, officer, employee or agent is determined to be
liable to the corporation in such derivative suit, indemnification for expenses is not allowable, subject to limited exceptions where a court deems the award of expenses appropriate. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
the DGCL, a Delaware corporation is permitted to purchase liability insurance for its directors, officers, employees and agents, regardless of whether any such person is otherwise
eligible for indemnification by the corporation. The Company intends to maintain liability insurance policies covering its officers and directors against some liabilities, including certain

must repay those expenses if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification. </FONT></P>

Certificate, any expansion of the protections afforded directors and officers by the DGCL will automatically extend to the Company's directors and officers, as the case may be. The Certificate
also provides that the Company may, by action of the board of directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Company with the same or lesser scope and effect as the permitted
indemnification of directors and officers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;VIII
of the Certificate provides for the indemnification of directors, officers, agents and employees for expenses incurred by them and judgments rendered against them in
any actions, suits or proceedings in relation to certain matters which such director, officer, agent or employee was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved
(including involvement as a witness). The Company is required to indemnify any such person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such person only if the commencement of such
proceeding (or part thereof) by any such person was authorized by the Company's Board of Directors. The Certificate also
requires the Company, to the fullest extent expressly authorized by the DGCL, to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in a legal proceeding prior to final disposition of the proceeding. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
the DGCL, a corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL (regarding, among other things, the payment
of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions), or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Article&nbsp;VII of the
Certificate provides for such limitation of liability. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
proposed form of Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit&nbsp;1.1 to this Registration Statement provides for indemnification of directors and officers of the Company by the

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the three years preceding the filing of this registration statement, we issued the securities indicated below that were not
registered under the Securities Act. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective
January&nbsp;1, 2011, the Operating Company underwent a recapitalization. Pursuant to the recapitalization, (1)&nbsp;creditors holding approximately $30&nbsp;million in
notes payable from the Operating Company and related warrants to purchase units of the Operating Company agreed to convert the indebtedness into new Class&nbsp;C membership units and surrender the
warrants; (2)&nbsp;the former holders of Series&nbsp;A Preferred Units and related warrants to purchase additional units of the Operating Company agreed to convert their units to new
Class&nbsp;A membership units and surrender their warrants and (3)&nbsp;the former common membership unit holders agreed to convert their units to new Class&nbsp;B membership units. In
connection with the recapitalization, the members amended and restated the Operating Company's operating agreement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
the effective date of this offering, the Company will effect the Reorganization, which is described above under the section "Description of Capital Stock&#151;Reorganization." </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
issuance of membership interests in connection with the recapitalization and the issuance of common stock in connection with the Reorganization, each as described above, were or will
be deemed exempt from registration under Section&nbsp;4(2) or Regulation&nbsp;D of the Securities Act. All of the foregoing securities are deemed restricted securities for purposes of the
Securities Act. The recipients of securities in the above-described transactions represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for sale

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

statement in reliance upon Rule&nbsp;430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registration pursuant to Rule&nbsp;424(b)(1) or (4)&nbsp;or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be
deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. </FONT></P>

statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule&nbsp;430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule&nbsp;430A, shall be deemed to be part of and

Our Business
We are in the business of bottling and selling natural spring water and manufacturing preformed bottles, or "preforms," and finished
bottles from polyethylene terephthalate resin (commonly referred to as "PET"). Our bottled water division operates under the name "Mountain Valley Spring Water" and our PET division operates under the
name "Veriplas." In fiscal 2010, our bottled water division accounted for approximately 60% of our total net sales and our PET
division accounted for the remaining 40%. As we continue to grow as a company, we anticipate that net sales for our bottled water division will far exceed that of our PET division.
The
predecessor of our bottled water division, Mountain Valley Spring Water of Hot Springs, Arkansas, was established in 1871, making us America's oldest continuously operated bottled
water company. The source of water for our products is natural spring water collected from three natural springs located approximately 10 miles from Hot Springs, Arkansas. In order to protect the
watershed of the springs, we own forest land surrounding each of the springs, which in the aggregate totals over 2,000 acres, and no activities are conducted on this property other than
bottling operations and selective timber harvesting in order to preserve the health of the forest. Geologists engaged by us have estimated that rain falling on the Ouachita Mountain Plateau near the
springs percolates over approximately 3,500 years to a deep underground aquifer and from there flows to the surface through the natural springs. This "recharge cycle" allows for a slow, natural
filtration of the water and the accumulation of various essential minerals, including calcium, magnesium and potassium. Water sold under the Mountain Valley brand is taken from a single, protected,
natural spring source flowing to the surface of the earth from a deep aquifer. The water sold under our other trademarked brands and our private label bottled water products is sourced from two other
Company-owned natural spring sources. The water flowing from the springs rises to the surface naturally and is collected in stainless steel, anaerobic basins before being piped underground
to the nearby Company-owned and operated bottling plant. We estimate that the volume of water naturally produced by these springs is sufficient for all foreseeable needs of the Company.
In
the bottled water market, the Company competes both as a brand owner and a private label supplier. Mountain Valley's competitive niche as a brand owner is in the premium segment of
the bottled water market, which we estimate to comprise 10% of the total U.S. bottled water market. The parameters of the premium segment of the bottled water market are not officially defined by
industry trade groups or publication, but for internal benchmarking purposes, the characteristics that we use in determining premium status include quality of water, higher price points, and various
branding and packaging criteria. Our primary competitors that operate within the premium segment include Nestlé (San Pellegrino, Panna, Perrier), Groupe Danone (Evian), and Roll
International (Fiji), among others. We believe the premium segment of the bottled water market is growing due to increasing consumer knowledge on the quality and source differences between bottled
waters, taste preferences of consumers, perceived health benefits of bottled natural spring water, and concerns regarding the quality of municipal tap water. Mountain Valley positions itself as the
only nationally distributed domestic company currently competing in this segment.

Water™. Unlike most domestic U.S. bottled water products, our water is bottled in both glass packaging and proprietary PET bottles in both still and sparkling versions. We offer our
bottled water products in 5 gallon, 2.5 gallon, 1 liter,
1
/
2
liter, and
1
/
3
liter glass bottles and 5 gallon, 3 gallon,
1.5 liter,
1 liter,
1
/
2
liter, 24 ounce, 20 ounce, 12 ounce, and 8 ounce plastic bottles. We own the proprietary rights to all of our glass bottles as
well as our 1.5 liter,
1
/
2
liter and 12 ounce plastic bottles. We purchase our glass bottles from third party vendors.
The
target consumers of Mountain Valley Spring and Sparkling Waters are (1) the quality conscious consumer and (2) the premium product consumer. We market our products as
"America's Premium Water Since 1871," and as being naturally high in pH, kosher and the locally produced and American alternative to imported competitors.
To
complement our bottled water business, Veriplas, our PET plastics manufacturing division manufactures and distributes preforms and finished bottles from PET for our use and for sale
to third party beverage bottlers. Veriplas provides us both a low cost, non-interrupted plastic bottle inventory as well as a separate source of revenue. Veriplas manufactures 100% of our
single-serve plastic bottle requirements.
The
predecessor of our Veriplas division was formed in 1998 to manufacture PET bottles and preforms for sale to independent water bottlers. In 2004, the principals of that entity,
through a series of restructuring steps with outside investors, acquired the Operating Company. In connection with the acquisition, the Veriplas predecessor was combined with the existing Mountain
Valley Spring Plastics Division to form our current PET manufacturing division, which we refer to as Veriplas.
Industry Overview
Bottled Water
In 2010, the bottled water market, a segment of the total beverage market, had the 2
nd
largest "share of stomach"
from consumers in the United States at 14.8% versus the 23.3% commanded by soft drinks. According to Beverage Marketing Corporation, a beverage industry data and consulting firm, in 2010 the bottled
water market as a whole generated over $10.6 billion in sales in the United States, which according to the International Bottled Water Association, a leading industry trade group, represents
year over year growth of 3.5% from 2009. We estimate that the premium segment of the bottled water market represents approximately 10% of the total U.S. bottled water market or approximately
$1 billion. The Company's Mountain Valley Spring Water™ and Mountain Valley Sparking Water™ products compete in the premium bottled water market.
We
believe there are several trends that support consumer demand for our bottled water products, including the following:
Emphasis on Health and Wellness
As part of a desire to live a healthier lifestyle, we believe consumers are ever more focused on increasing their water consumption and
drinking water as a substitute for high-calorie beverages, carbonated soft drinks and beverages containing artificial sweeteners. Essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium and
potassium, which are naturally present in Mountain Valley water, add to the perceived health benefits of the spring water. The naturally high pH of the spring water also appeals to certain discerning
consumers. Water with a high pH level helps the body to neutralize acidity. While we are unaware of any definitive studies as to the health benefits of consuming water with a high pH level, some
consumers believe that such benefits do exist and seek out water products with a high pH level.

Concerns Regarding Quality of Municipal Tap Water
Many consumers purchase bottled water because of localized concerns regarding some of the 55,000 different municipal tap water sources
in the United States. There have been many recent media stories and reports by independent consumer groups highlighting pollution and quality issues with municipal water in various locations
throughout the United States. According to a New York Times study, between 2004-2009, more than 20% of the water treatment systems in the United States have violated key provisions of the
Safe Drinking Water Act, with many such systems providing tap water with illegal concentrations of dangerous chemicals or bacteria. We believe that consumer concerns regarding the quality of municipal
tap water throughout the United States has been a major factor driving growth in the bottled water market in recent years.
Increasing Demand for Products Packaged in Glass
Mountain Valley packages its natural spring water in returnable glass bottles as well as single serve non-returnable glass
bottles. Some consumers express a strong preference for beverage products packaged in glass for the perceived taste difference over products packaged in plastic. In addition, some consumers have
health and/or environmental concerns about plastic in general and seek out products not packaged in plastic of any type.
PET Bottles
The PET container market is generally divided into two product categories: conventional and custom. Veriplas produces both conventional
and custom PET beverage container products. The conventional category is larger by volume and is characterized by high volume production of containers for use in packaging beverages. Conventional
products are supplied by independent merchant bottle producers and by fully integrated bottling companies making containers for themselves. The custom category consists of containers for food and
beverage products that have special attributes such as colors, additives to resin having different performance attributes including UV screening or biodegradibility, or special shapes.
Our Competitive Strengths
We believe the competitive strengths of Mountain Valley include the following:
Defensive Market Niches
Our position in the premium segment of the U.S. bottled water market as the only nationally distributed domestic alternative to
the imported products of our international competitors would require significant resources to duplicate. We believe our brand equity and consumer recognition, developed over a 140-year
period, are a significant advantage.
The
location of our springs and bottling assets in the central United States is a significant logistical advantage in our overall cost structure versus our imported competitors.
The
relative scarcity of glass bottles both for smaller, non-returnable packages as well as the larger 2.5 gallon and 5 gallon returnable packages makes it
difficult for competitors to enter the market for bottled water packaged in glass.
Taste of Mountain Valley Spring Water
The sweet, crisp taste of Mountain Valley water is attributed to the slow, natural filtration process that occurs as water slowly makes
its way to the underground aquifer and then returns to the surface through our three natural springs. Mountain Valley water has twice been named the "Best Tasting Bottled Water in the World" at the
esteemed Berkley Springs International Water Tasting Competition.
3
Table of Contents
We
believe the high taste quality of Mountain Valley water is supported by consistent consumer demand, which is evident in our 140 years of continuous commercial operation.
Strong Brand Recognition
We believe the Mountain Valley brand has long been recognized in the premium bottled water industry and identified with high quality
products. We view this brand recognition as a competitive advantage in the markets in which we operate.
Key Retail Relationships
We participate in multiple retail channels both directly and indirectly through our network of retail distributors. Although a
significant portion of our retail business is attributed to food retailers, such as major grocery stores and natural products retailers, we also have relationships with "off-premise"
retailers such as wine and liquor retailers, delicatessens,
and drug stores as well as "on-premise" retailers such as restaurants, in-store restaurants, resorts, country clubs, catering companies, bars and coffee houses. Among the
retailers with whom we have existing relationships are Publix, H-E-B, Whole Foods Market, Sprouts Farmers Market, and The Fresh Market.
Home and Office Delivery
Historically our Home and Office Delivery (HOD) system has provided us with consistent cash flow and revenue. The over 125 independent
HOD distributors selling our products directly to consumers in their home or office provide us with a different, additional route to the consumer. HOD is only offered by a very limited number of
companies operating in the premium bottled water market. Additionally, the HOD system enhances brand awareness, and the HOD infrastructure provides leverage to our retail operations in terms of
transportation, production, and general and administrative functions.
Management's Proven Track Record
Our management team is well experienced in the beverage industry in general with particular emphasis in the bottled water industry,
with our top 6 managers having over 130 years of combined beverage industry experience. Our CEO, James "Breck" Speed III, has over 23 years experience in the bottled water industry and
serves on the board of directors and various committees of the International Bottled Water Association. The experience level within the Company is deep overall as 38 of our employees have over
10 years tenure with the Company, including 16 employees with over 20 years tenure.
Growth Strategy
We seek to increase our market share and drive further growth in our business by pursuing the following strategies:
Expand Retail Business and Sales Staff
Our strategy for growth involves increasing our sales force and support staff to enable us to expand our presence in our current
regions and ultimately to other geographic markets across the United States. Mountain Valley is currently marketed and sold in 31 states in the United States pursuant to our relationships with various
retail and HOD distributors. It is our goal to successfully establish a sustainable presence in these areas before we allocate our limited resources to other geographic areas. We intend to expand to
other retail outlets not currently carrying the Mountain Valley brand as we execute our "regional rollout" strategy over time. Our regional rollout strategy calls for supporting our retailers and
distributors within each region we offer Mountain Valley water by
4
Table of Contents
training
the distributors, working with them to gain retail placements, and by working locally to create consumer awareness, consumer demand, and consistent consumer "pull through." Initial
implementation of this strategy has resulted in the addition of key retail accounts such as Publix and The Fresh Market. To further implement our retail growth strategy, we intend to use a portion of
the proceeds from this offering to recruit and hire additional highly-qualified sales professionals and support staff.
Bottling Capacity
Bottling capacity is sufficient for our short term growth plans, but we plan to enhance our manufacturing capabilities over time with
respect to quantity and types of packaging. As a step toward implementing this strategy, we plan to purchase new equipment for our bottling facility in Hot Springs, Arkansas that will enable us to
substantially increase our output of bottled water. In our bottling process, after the filling process is completed, our bottled water is packaged for shipment in our palletizer. We currently operate
a single palletizer for both our glass and plastic production lines, which prevents simultaneous operation of the glass and production lines. We anticipate purchasing a second palletizer, which will
allow our glass and plastic production lines to operate simultaneously. The addition of a second palletizer will allow our production lines to operate with increased efficiency and will allow us to
maximize the capacity of each bottling line. We expect the cost of the additional palletizer to be approximately $375,000. We plan to fund this project with funds raised from this offering.
Expand Existing Retail Relationships
We believe we have opportunities, directly and indirectly through our distributors, to increase store penetration with our existing
retail relationships based on our competitive strengths. Most of the retailers currently carrying Mountain Valley branded products could expand the number of stock-keeping units (or
"SKU's") carried by adding multipacks, additional glass or PET packaging, single serve packages for "grab-and-go" coolers in their prepared food sections, or cases for their
bulk item aisles.
Increase HOD Accounts
We work with our independently owned HOD distributors to grow the number of HOD accounts. We do this by funding local efforts through
our Growth Attainment Program (aka the "GAP Program") that financially rewards distributors who grow their customer base. We also work with our HOD distributors to utilize our combined web presences
to drive consumers looking for Mountain Valley to our web fulfillment center. Our web site allows an end-user to locate and contact a Mountain Valley HOD distributor within their zip code.
We expect to expend more resources and increase efforts through social media and internet marketing to increase our HOD account volume in the future.
Strategic Acquisitions
In addition, management will consider making strategic acquisitions if opportunities become available. However, we have no current
agreements or plans for proposed acquisitions and may ultimately determine not to make any acquisitions in the future.
Employees
As of September 30, 2011, we had 107 full time employees, of which 10 serve as our sales team. Following the effectiveness of
this offering, we intend to increase the number of employees on our sales team as we pursue our growth strategy in the retail component of our bottled water division. We believe that our continued
success will depend on our ability to continue to attract and retain skilled
5
Table of Contents
personnel.
We have never had a work stoppage and none of our employees are represented by a labor union. We believe our relationship with our employees is in good standing.
Intellectual Property and Trademarks
We believe our intellectual property provides a competitive advantage and we have invested substantial time, effort and capital in
establishing and protecting our intellectual property rights. We have filed and maintain certain trademark registrations. We consider our Mountain Valley name and related trademarks such as "America's
Premium Water since 1871™" and "Consider the Source™" to be valuable to our business and the establishment of a nationally-branded premium bottled water. We rely on
a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and other arrangements to protect our proprietary rights. We own 7 United States registered federal trademarks, including registrations for
our Mountain Valley name in conjunction with our Spring and Sparkling brands and their distinctive trade dress.
Risks Associated with Our Business
Our business is subject to numerous risks, as more fully described in the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 12.
You should carefully consider these risks before deciding to invest in our common stock. These risks include, among others:
•
Our industry is highly competitive, and we encounter significant competition from existing companies and might encounter
significant competition from new companies entering into the bottled water market, some of which have greater resources than us.
•
We depend on retailer and consumer acceptance of our bottled water products.
•
The loss of a major retail partner would adversely affect us.
•
If any of our water became contaminated, our business could be seriously harmed. Similarly, we could be adversely affected
by a claim of contamination, even if untrue.
•
Shortages of essential materials used in the production of our products, increases in the cost of such materials or
disruptions in our supply chain could adversely impact our financial condition and operating results.
•
Significant interruptions of our operations, by natural disaster or otherwise, could adversely affect our business.
•
Introductions of new products may not prove successful, and future acquisitions and investments may not be successfully
integrated, which could disrupt our business or adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
•
We have incurred operating losses in the past and may incur operating losses in the future.
•
Additional government regulation of our business could adversely affect us.
Reorganization
Historically, we have conducted and, following completion of this offering, will continue to conduct our business affairs through,
Mountain Valley Spring Company, LLC, generally referred to in this prospectus as the "Operating Company," an Arkansas limited liability company.
In
anticipation of this offering, the Operating Company incorporated Mountain Valley Spring Company, generally referred to in this prospectus as the "Holding Company," a Delaware
corporation, as its direct, wholly-owned subsidiary for the purpose of effecting a transaction whereby the Holding Company would become the parent of the Operating Company (the
"Reorganization"). Subsequent to
6
Table of Contents
its
incorporation, the Holding Company formed Sage Merger Sub, LLC, an Arkansas limited liability company ("Merger Sub"), as its wholly-owned subsidiary solely for the purpose of
facilitating the Reorganization. Immediately prior to the closing of this offering, the Operating Company will merge with Merger Sub, with the Operating Company surviving the merger (the "Merger").
The Operating Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding Company as a result of the Merger and our business will continue to be conducted by and through the Operating
Company.
Prior
to the Merger, holders of Class A membership units represented 4.9% of the outstanding voting equity of the Operating Company, holders of Class B membership units
represented 10% of the outstanding voting equity of the Operating Company, and Class C membership units represented 85.1% of the outstanding voting equity of the Operating Company. In the
Merger, each membership unit in the Operating Company will be converted into shares of common stock of the Holding Company. Following the Merger and the completion of this offering, and assuming that
the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional shares from the Selling Stockholder, the former Class A membership unit holders of the Operating Company will collectively
hold [    •    ]% of the outstanding common stock of the Holding Company, the former Class B membership unit holders will collectively
hold [    •    ]% of the outstanding common stock of the Holding Company, and the former Class C membership holders will collectively
hold [    •    ]% of the outstanding common stock of the Holding Company. Following the completion of the Reorganization, the Holding Company
will own 100% of the equity interests in the Operating Company.
We
are offering shares of common stock of the Holding Company in this offering. Prior to the Reorganization, the Holding Company has not conducted any activities other than those
incident to its formation and the preparation of this prospectus, nor has the Holding Company owned any significant assets. Following completion of this offering, the Holding Company will have no
business operations or material assets other than its direct ownership of 100% of the outstanding equity interests of the Operating Company through which it will control all of the business and
affairs of the Operating Company.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and
uncertainties described below, together with the financial and other information contained in this prospectus, before you decide to invest in our common stock. Our business, financial condition and
results of operations may be adversely affected by any of these risks. As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your
investment.
Risks Relating to Our Business
We face intense competition within the premium bottled water market as well as from other beverage providers. If we are unable to compete effectively, our business could be
harmed.
The premium bottled water market is highly competitive. Our products currently represent less than 1% of this market. Our primary
competitors in this market include Nestlé (San Pellegrino, Panna, Perrier), Groupe Danone (Evian), and Roll International (Fiji). Many of our competitors have greater financial,
marketing and other resources than we currently do, and therefore may be able to devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products, generate national brand recognition or adopt more
aggressive pricing policies than we can, which would put us at a competitive disadvantage. Most of our competitors have products that have already gained wide customer acceptance in the marketplace
and preferred shelf space at retail locations. While the industry is dominated by larger and well-known companies, we also face competition within the premium bottled water market from
other small- and medium-sized competitors. We could lose market share if our competitors successfully expand their share of the premium bottled water market or if consumers choose products based on
the brand recognition or marketing efforts of our competitors. We could also lose market share if other beverage and food companies decide to enter the premium bottled water market. Should any of
these companies so decide to enter the premium bottled water marketplace, our sales could be materially and adversely impacted.
Our
products also compete with less expensive, non-premium bottled water products offered by Nestlé (Deer Park, Ice Mountain, Ozarka, Poland Springs, Zephyr
Hills, Arrowhead, Pure Life), Coca-Cola (Dasani), PepsiCo (Aquafina) and DS Waters (Crystal Springs, Hinkley Springs, Kentwood Springs, Sparkletts) as well as other
non-alcoholic beverages, including carbonated and non-carbonated drinks, juices, flavored or enhanced waters, sport and energy drinks, coffees, teas and tap water. In addition,
our bottled water business faces competition from various methods of treating unfiltered tap water such as countertop filtration systems, faucet mounted filtration systems, in-line
whole-house filtration systems, water filtration dispensing products such as pitchers and jugs, standard and advanced feature water coolers and refrigerator-dispensed filtered water. If we are unable
to meet the competition faced by our industry, our competitive position and our business could suffer.
Our business largely depends on a strong brand image, and if we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand, particularly in new markets where we have limited brand
recognition, we may be unable to increase or maintain our level of sales.
We believe that our brand image and brand awareness are key to the success of our business. Our ability to maintain and enhance our
reputation is critical to our brand image. If we are not able to maintain, protect and enhance our brand, particularly with our retail partners and individual consumers in geographic areas where we
may have limited brand recognition, we may be unable to place our bottled water at preferred retail locations or attract sufficient numbers of consumers to our bottled water products. Any negative
publicity, or any actual or perceived product quality issues, even if false or unfounded, could tarnish the image of our brand and may cause consumers to choose other products, including other
non-alcoholic beverages or municipal tap water. In addition, if consumers or
12
Table of Contents
retailers
have a negative experience with any brand of bottled water, including the water of our competitors, bottled water may lose acceptance generally and our business could be adversely affected.
We
have adopted quality, environmental, health and safety standards that meet or exceed current regulatory requirements. However, our water may not meet these standards or our products
could otherwise become contaminated, including through the negligence of our employees or intentional actions of third parties such as domestic and foreign terrorists. A failure to meet these
standards or a contamination of our bottled water could result in expensive business interruptions and liability claims. Any of these failures or occurrences, or any allegation of these occurrences,
even if unfounded, could negatively affect our business and financial performance. Even if our water does not ever become contaminated, a contamination of any bottled water, including the water of our
competitors, would be detrimental to the bottled water business as a whole.
As
we execute our growth strategy, maintaining the strength and distinctiveness of our brand image in new markets will be challenging. Because potential customers may not be familiar
with our products and because we undertake limited marketing, consumer acceptance of our product in new markets may not achieve the levels we desire. Enhancing our brand image in these markets may
require us to make substantial investments in marketing and employee training, which may not ultimately be successful.
Adverse publicity regarding the bottled water industry generally could adversely affect our business.
Local and national media have reported on the growth of the bottled water industry and on the positive and negative aspects of
consuming bottled water as it relates to solid
waste disposal and energy consumption in manufacturing, as well as conserving the supply of water available to the public. The adverse publicity from these reports could affect consumer behavior by
discouraging buyers from buying bottled water generally. In such event, our business and financial results would be adversely affected. While we have made efforts to "green" our business by, among
other things, reducing the environmental impact of our water withdrawal methods, working with strategic partners in government, industry and public interest groups to recover and reuse as much bottled
water packaging as possible and minimizing the use of energy in our manufacturing processes, we may be unable to respond effectively to adverse publicity regarding the bottled water industry
generally.
If we are unable to expand our retail relationships in the future or if a significant portion of our existing retail accounts discontinue selling our products or
significantly change their retail strategy, our business could be adversely affected.
Our strategic plan focuses on growth in sales, either directly or indirectly through our distributors, to third-party retailers. This
plan could be impaired if existing retailers discontinue sales of our products or if we fail to successfully expand to additional retail outlets.
We
intend to use a significant portion of the proceeds from this offering to expand our sales and marketing efforts. Our inability to effectively utilize these proceeds to increase the
number of retail outlets that sell our products would adversely affect our results of operations.
Retailers
selling our bottled water are not contractually bound to offer our products. As a result, they could discontinue purchasing our products at any time. We compete to maintain our
existing retail accounts and to establish new retail relationships, but we may ultimately be unable to maintain or establish such relationships. If we were to lose a significant portion of our retail
accounts or if retailers materially reduced their business with us it could have an adverse affect on our financial condition and our expansion efforts. Continued positive relations with our retail
partners depend on various factors, including customer service by us and our distributors, consumer demand, pricing and competition. Additionally, most major retailers continually evaluate and often
modify their in-store retail strategies, including product placement, store set-up and design and demographic targets. Retailers may decide to
13
Table of Contents
use
some or all of our products' shelf space for other products and these decisions may adversely affect our business.
We are subject to pricing pressure from our larger customers and competitors. If we are unable to offset reductions in our prices our profitability could suffer.
We face significant pricing pressures from our larger customers in both our bottled water and PET packaging divisions. Because of their
purchasing size, our larger customers can influence market participants to compete on price terms. Such customers also use their buying power to negotiate lower prices. We have reduced the prices of
some of our products in the past, and we expect to continue to experience pricing pressure for our products in the future. When seeking to maintain or increase their market share, our competitors may
also reduce the prices of their products or introduce alternative products. If we are unable to offset reductions in our average selling prices by increasing our sales volume, by reducing our costs
and expenses or by introducing new products, our profitability could suffer.
The failure of our major retail partners to continue to operate would adversely affect us.
Our retail partners, such as natural food, convenience, mass and other retailers, have faced challenging business conditions as a
result of recent economic conditions, and these conditions may continue. We rely on our retail partners in order to access our consumers. If our retail partners close sites or experience disruptions
such as strikes or lock-outs, we could lose access to certain consumers, and our results of operations could be adversely affected.
The loss of a major distributor or an increase in costs related to the distribution of our products would adversely affect us.
We distribute approximately 95% of our bottled water products to consumers through third-party distributors. Most of our arrangements
with our distributors are evidenced by written contracts which have terms that generally range from one (1) to three (3) years with automatic renewal clauses. These contracts generally
contain termination clauses permitting the distributor to terminate the relationship upon 90 days notice and contain no provisions obligating the distributor to purchase any minimum amount of
our products. We attempt to maintain good working relationships with our distributors, but we may ultimately be unable to renew existing contracts or enter into new contracts for distribution. In
addition, our distributors face increasing costs to provide their services, such as higher prices for fuel, and if they were to pass those costs on to their customers through price increases, it could
have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations. If we were to lose a contract with any one of our major distributors or if any of our distributors was unable to maintain a viable
business, our business and our results of operations would suffer. In such case, we may be unable to find new distributors as a substitute, and even if we were able to do so, we may not be able to do
so quickly and efficiently enough or on terms that are as favorable to avoid significant financial losses.
Our Veriplas Division depends on a limited number of large customers to account for a substantial percentage of that division's net sales, the loss of any of these large
customers would adversely affect us.
The top ten customers of our Veriplas Division accounted for approximately 68% of the net sales of that division during fiscal 2010.
One of the largest customers of the Veriplas Division has substantially decreased its purchases from us during fiscal 2011 and has recently informed us that it intends to internally produce over 75%
of its plastic bottle requirements beginning in 2012. This customer accounted for net sales of approximately $1.9 million during fiscal 2010, or 22.3% of Veriplas net sales, and approximately
$1.8 million in 2009, or 22.2% of Veriplas net sales. The loss of additional major customers from our Veriplas Division would adversely affect us.

Increases in transportation costs would reduce profit margins, negatively impacting profitability.
We deliver our bottled water products to our distributors through a third party transportation provider on a delivered price basis. If
the price of fuel increases, freight costs will increase. As a result, our freight cost is directly impacted by changes in fuel prices. Increases in fuel prices and surcharges and other factors have
increased freight costs and may continue to increase freight costs in the future. The inflationary pressure of higher fuel costs and continued increases in transportation-related costs could have a
material adverse effect on our profit margins and profitability.
Shortages of essential materials used in the production of our products, increases in the cost of such materials or disruptions in our supply chain could adversely impact
our financial condition and operating results.
Essential materials in the production of our bottled water include our signature glass bottles and the resin pellets (including
recycled resin) we use in the manufacture of our PET bottles. We purchase our small glass bottles from a single supplier in Mexico and our larger glass bottles from a single supplier in Italy. We
purchase our resin pellets from a small number of domestic suppliers. Therefore, we are dependent on the ability of these suppliers to provide such materials on a timely and consistent basis. Our
third-party suppliers may not dedicate sufficient resources to meet our scheduled delivery requirements or our suppliers may not have sufficient resources to satisfy our requirements during any period
of sustained demand. Failure of a supplier to supply, delays in supplying, or disruptions in the supply chain for these essential components could materially adversely
affect our operations, our profitability and our ability to meet our delivery schedules on a timely and competitive basis.
Disruptions
in our supply chain may occur from many different unforeseen events, including war, terrorism and other international conflicts, public health issues, natural disasters,
strikes and other labor disputes, whether in the United States or abroad. In particular, since our suppliers of glass bottles are located in Mexico and Italy, our supply is subject to risks associated
with international shipping and trade, such as increased import fees, quotas, trade restrictions, currency fluctuations and damages and delays due to transporting products over long distances. We are
also subject to risks related to any economic or political instability in Mexico. Moreover, if either supplier of glass bottles were to end its operations or materially reduce production for any
reason, we would experience a disruption in our supply chain adversely affecting our operations and financial results.
Fluctuations
in the prices of these key supplies, as well as in the prices of the raw materials used by our suppliers, could have a material adverse effect on results of operations. Our
ability to pass on increases in supply prices to our customers is limited due to competitive pricing pressure and the time lag between increased costs and implementation of related price increases.
Although
we purchase these essential materials from a limited number of manufacturers, management believes that other suppliers are available that could adapt to provide similar
products. However, a new supplier of these materials could increase the costs of such products which would have an adverse impact on our operating margins and net income. In addition, the time
required to locate and qualify other suppliers could cause a delay in operations that may be financially disruptive to the company.
The sources of water for our business are three natural springs and any disruption in the flow of these springs, including exhaustion of the aquifers from which they flow,
would have an adverse impact on our ability to operate.
We produce all of our bottled water products from three company-owned natural springs. In the event there are geological shifts or
other changes, natural or otherwise, that affect the flow of our springs, our ability to satisfy future customer demand and to meet our prior obligations for bottled water would be adversely affected,
which would in turn adversely impact our business and results of
15
Table of Contents
operations.
The deep aquifers from which our water springs are limited resources, and while we believe our water supply from these aquifers are more than sufficient to support our operations and any
anticipated expansion thereof, we could at some point in the future experience water flow levels too low to make it economically feasible to collect, bottle and distribute our bottled water products.
Our operations are conducted in only two locations. Significant interruptions of our operations, by natural disaster or otherwise, could adversely affect our business.
We operate one bottling facility and one PET facility at the same location in Hot Springs, Arkansas and one PET facility in Little
Rock, Arkansas. If these facilities were incapacitated for an extended period of time, we would likely have to relocate production to an alternative facility. In particular, our springs and all of our
facilities are located in central Arkansas, which experiences frequent tornadoes capable of producing strong winds, hail, lightning and flash flooding that could destroy or damage our facilities or
otherwise interrupt operations. In recent years central Arkansas has also experienced an increasing number of small to medium-size earthquakes. An earthquake could alter the geologic
formation of our springs, contaminating or constricting water flow, perhaps even entirely. If any such natural disaster were to occur, we would be unable to continue operations without significant
costs and delays and may not be able to continue operations at all, depending on the level of destruction or damage to our operations and the flow of our springs. Any relocation and additional
transportation resulting from such interruptions could increase the cost of our products or result in product shortages that would reduce sales. Higher costs and lower sales would reduce
profitability.
We have limited resources available for research and development efforts. As such, we may be unable to successfully identify and/or implement changes in consumer preferences
or production innovations. Any failure to keep pace with these changes could adversely affect our business.
Historically, we have not dedicated meaningful resources to research and development. Given our financial resources, we do not expect
to devote material resources to these efforts in the foreseeable future. The bottled water and PET packaging industries have been and will likely continue to be impacted by production innovations
resulting from improvements in technology. These changes can reduce production costs and create new or modified products. Such changes are likely to shift consumer demand. Many of our competitors have
greater resources and may react to such innovations more efficiently than us. Our inability to identify and react to these innovations could adversely affect our business.
Changes in weather conditions could negatively affect our business.
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, with decreased revenues during rainy or cold weather months and increased revenues
during dry or hot weather months. In addition, unseasonable or unusual weather may reduce demand and revenues for our products. Variations in demand and revenues could negatively impact the timing of
our cash flows and therefore limit our ability to timely service our obligations.
We depend on the expertise of key personnel. If these individuals leave without replacement, our ability to implement our business strategies could be delayed or hindered.
In addition, we may not be able to recruit and retain qualified personnel that we need to support our planned growth.
We are dependent on the services of our senior management because of their experience, industry relationships and knowledge of the
business. The loss of one or more of our key employees could seriously harm our business, and it may be difficult to find a replacement with the same or similar level of experience or expertise.
Competition for these types of personnel is high, and we may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms. Failure to recruit and retain such personnel could adversely
affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and planned growth.

If our management information systems fail to operate or are unable to support our growth, our operations could be disrupted.
We rely upon our management information systems in almost every aspect of our daily business operations. For example, our management
information systems serve an integral part in enabling us to perform and track sales transactions, manage personnel, pay vendors and employees, and report financial and accounting information to
management. In addition, we rely on our management information systems to enable us to leverage our costs as we grow. If our management information systems fail to operate or are unable to support our
growth, our operations could be severely disrupted, and we could be required to make significant additional expenditures to remediate any such failure.
Introductions of new products may not prove successful, and future acquisitions and investments may not be successfully integrated, which could disrupt our business or
adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Though we have no specific acquisitions or investments currently planned, we may in the future determine it is in the best interests of
the business and our stockholders to pursue such opportunities. Acquisitions and investments, including acquiring or developing new products, are accompanied by potential risks and challenges that
could disrupt our business operations, increase our operating costs or capital expenditure requirements and reduce the value of an acquired product line, business or technology. In addition, the
process of negotiating acquisitions and integrating acquired products, services, technologies, personnel or businesses might result in significant transaction costs,
operating difficulties or unanticipated expenditures and might require significant management attention that would otherwise be available for ongoing development of our business. If we are successful
in consummating an acquisition, we may not be able to integrate the acquired product line, business or technology into our existing business and products and we may not achieve the anticipated
benefits of any acquisition.
We have incurred operating losses in the past and may incur operating losses in the future.
We have incurred operating losses in the past and expect to incur operating losses in the future. Our losses from continuing operations
were $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 and $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. We have not been profitable in recent years, and we may not
become profitable in the future. Our losses may continue as we incur additional costs and expenses related to becoming and operating as a public company, branding and marketing, expansion of
operations, product development and development of relationships with strategic business partners. If our operating expenses exceed our expectations, our financial performance will be adversely
affected. If our sales do not grow to offset these increased expenses, we may not become profitable.
We have long term and short term indebtedness outstanding that matures in December 2011. We may be unable to extend or refinance this indebtedness on terms that are
favorable to us, or at all.
We have approximately $5.65 million in long term debt indebtedness and $600,000 in short term indebtedness outstanding that
matures in December 2011. We hope to extend or refinance this indebtedness prior to maturity, however, we may be unable to extend or refinance the indebtedness on terms that are favorable to us, or at
all. If we are unable to extend or refinance the indebtedness, we intend to use proceeds from this offering to pay off our long term and short term indebtedness.

Risks Relating to Regulatory and Legal Issues
The bottled water industry is regulated at both the state and federal level. If we are unable to continue to comply with applicable regulations and standards in any
jurisdiction, we might not be able to sell our products in that jurisdiction, and our business could be seriously harmed.
The United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") regulates bottled water as a food. Our bottled water must meet FDA requirements
of safety for human consumption, labeling, processing and distribution under sanitary conditions and production in accordance with FDA "good manufacturing practices." In addition, all drinking water
must meet Environmental Protection Agency standards established under the Safe Drinking Water Act for mineral and chemical concentration and drinking water quality and treatment, which are enforced by
the FDA. Further, any claims we make in marketing our products, such as claims related to the beneficial health effects of drinking water, are subject to the FDA's advertising and promotion
requirements and restrictions. We also must meet state regulations in a variety of areas, and such state regulations are not necessarily consistent or uniform, which results in monitoring and
compliance costs to our company. These federal and state regulations set standards for approved water sources and the information that must be provided and the basis on which any therapeutic claims
for water may be made. We maintain all permits or approvals required in the states in which our water is sold. However, we are unable to ensure that we will receive, or be able to maintain, such
approvals in the future or to gain approval in other states for our water.
Our
operations are subject to routine and random regulatory quality inspections. Although we believe we are operating in substantial compliance with these laws and regulations, these
laws and regulations and their interpretations and enforcement are subject to change. The enactment of additional or more stringent laws or regulations may cause a disruption in our operations in the
future. Failure to comply with such current or future laws and regulations could result in fines against us, a temporary shutdown of our operations or the loss of certification to sell our products.
Any significant change in perception by our customers or government regulation of polycarbonate plastic in food and beverage products could adversely affect our operations
and financial results.
In January 2010, the FDA issued an updated report regarding its current perspective on the safety of Bisphenol A ("BPA") in food
packaging materials, asserting the need for additional studies on BPA and issuing its interim public health recommendations. BPA is an industrial chemical found in certain plastics, including plastics
known as polycarbonate. BPA is currently present
in all of our three gallon plastic bottles and certain of our five gallon plastic bottles that are used exclusively for our Diamond-branded products. Bottles containing BPA represent less than 1% of
our total bottles and are being systematically phased out of our inventory. BPA is regulated by the FDA as an indirect food additive. While the FDA notes that studies employing standardized toxicity
tests support the safety of human exposure to BPA at the low levels currently experienced by consumers, the FDA's report additionally acknowledges the results of certain recent studies which suggest
some concern regarding potential developmental and behavioral effects of BPA exposure, particularly on infants and young children.
The
FDA is continuing to evaluate these low dose toxicity studies, as well as other recent peer-reviewed studies related to BPA, and has solicited public comment and
inter-agency scientific input in connection with updating its formal assessment of the safety of BPA for use in food contact applications. In the interim, the FDA's public health recommendations
include taking reasonable steps to reduce exposure of infants to BPA in the food supply and working with industry to support and evaluate manufacturing practices and alternative substances that could
reduce exposure in other populations. Further, the FDA indicates that it plans to review its existing authority to shift to a more robust regulatory framework for oversight of BPA.
Consistent
with the findings of numerous international regulatory bodies, we believe that the scientific evidence suggests that polycarbonate plastic made with BPA is a safe packing
material for all
18
Table of Contents
consumers.
Nonetheless, media reports and the FDA report have prompted concern in our industry among existing and potential customers. It is possible that developments surrounding this issue could
lead to adverse effects on our business. Such developments could include:
•
increased publicity that changes public or regulatory perception regarding packaging that uses BPA, so that significant
numbers of consumers stop purchasing products that are packaged in polycarbonate plastic;
•
the emergence of new scientific evidence that suggests that the low doses of BPA to which consumers may be exposed when
using polycarbonate plastic is unsafe;
•
interpretations of existing evidence by the FDA or other regulatory agencies that lead to prohibitions on the use of
polycarbonate plastic as packaging for consumable products;
•
the listing of BPA by California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment on the state's Proposition 65 list,
which would require us to label our products with information about BPA content and could obligate us to evaluate the levels of exposure to BPA associated with the use of our products; and
•
the inability of sellers of consumable products to find an adequate supply of alternative packaging if polycarbonate
plastic containing BPA becomes an undesirable or prohibited packaging material.
In
addition, federal, state and local governmental authorities have and continue to introduce, and in certain states enact, proposals intended to restrict or ban the use of BPA in food
and beverage packaging materials. Additionally, a food safety bill is currently pending in the U.S. Senate which may be amended to include a provision that would override the FDA's ongoing assessment
of BPA, ban the use of BPA in certain food and beverage containers and change the way in which BPA is regulated. At this juncture, we cannot predict with certainty whether or when any such proposals
may be enacted or what impact they may have on our business.
If
any of these events were to occur, our sales and operating results could be materially adversely affected.
Legislative and executive action in state and local governments banning the use of municipal funds for purchasing bottled water and enacting local taxes on bottled water
could adversely affect our business and financial results.
Recent initiatives have taken place in several major cities regarding bottled water, principally the smaller size bottles sold in
stores to retail consumers, which is a significant portion of our business and a critical component of our growth strategy. For a description of our growth strategy, see "Business—Growth
Strategy." Regulations have been proposed in some localities that would ban the use of public funds to purchase bottled water and enact local taxes on bottled water. These actions are purportedly
designed to discourage the use of bottled water due in large part to concerns about the environmental effects of producing and discarding large numbers of plastic bottles. We recognize the need to
protect our water sources and the overall environment, and we have made efforts to do so in our business. However, these governmental actions and the resulting effects on consumer behavior could have
an adverse impact on our financial results and the successful implementation of our growth strategy.
Our inability to protect our intellectual property could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
The trade name and trademarks "Mountain Valley Spring" and "Mountain Valley Sparkling" used by us contain the words "Mountain" and
"Valley," which are commonly used and have been registered in connection with other marks and designs by a number of other entities for water and related
19
Table of Contents
services.
We believe that no party can claim exclusive rights to "Mountain Valley," and we may claim rights only to stylized forms of the mark or the mark with design elements. We are unable to
determine with certainty whether other entities might assert superior or exclusive rights to the marks and seek to obtain damages from the injunctive relief against us. Therefore, there can be no
assurance that our use of the trade name and trademarks "Mountain Valley Spring" and "Mountain Valley Sparkling" will not violate the claimed proprietary rights of others, which could adversely affect
our business and results of operations.
Litigation or legal proceedings could expose us to significant liabilities, including product liability claims, and damage our reputation.
We are subject to a risk of legal proceedings if a consumer is or claims to be harmed from using our products. We are also subject to
the risk of litigation arising from disputes with our business partners, vendors or distributors. Any such claim may result in negative publicity, loss of revenues or higher costs associated with the
legal proceedings. The costs associated with defending any product liability or other claims, and the payment of damages, could be substantial.
We
may establish reserves for any such litigation as appropriate based upon assessments and estimates in accordance with our accounting policies. We base our assessments, estimates and
disclosures on the information available to us at the time and rely on legal and management judgment. Actual outcomes or losses may differ materially from assessments and estimates. Actual
settlements, judgments or resolutions of these claims or proceedings may negatively affect our business and financial performance. A successful claim against us that is not covered by insurance or is
in excess of our available insurance limits could require us to make significant payments of damages and could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock and this Offering
There has not been an active public market for our shares, and an active market may not develop or be sustained, which could limit the liquidity of our common stock.
Prior to this offering, there has not been an active public market for our common stock. Although we anticipate our stock will be
listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, an active public market for our shares may not develop after this offering or, if developed, may not be sustained. The initial public offering price for our common
stock was determined through our negotiations with the underwriters and may not be indicative of the market price of our common stock after this offering. If you purchase shares of our common stock,
you may not be able to resell those shares at or above the initial public offering price, or at all. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our company will lead to the development
of an active trading market on the Nasdaq Capital Market or otherwise or how liquid that market might become. If an active public market does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult for
you to sell your shares of common stock at a price that is attractive to you, or at all.
The market price of our common stock could be volatile.
The overall market and the price of our common stock may be significantly affected by various factors,
including:
•
fluctuations in our quarterly operating results;
•
changes in investors' perception of our prospects, business risks and the conditions in our industry;
•
regulatory developments negatively affecting our industry;
20
Table of Contents
•
changes in, or failure to meet, the earnings estimates and other performance expectations of financial analysts or
investors;
•
the level and quality of coverage of our stock by securities or industry analysts;
•
stock transactions by our existing and/or principal stockholders;
•
fluctuations in the stock prices of our competitors or in stock markets in general; and
•
general economic or political conditions.
Further,
securities class action litigation has often been initiated against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in
substantial costs and divert our management's attention and resources, and could also require us to make substantial payments to satisfy judgments or to settle litigation. The threat or filing of
class action litigation lawsuits could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could
decline.
The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish
about us or our business. We do not currently have research coverage by securities and industry analysts. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the trading price for
our stock could be negatively impacted. If we obtain securities or industry analyst coverage and if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or
unfavorable research about our business, our stock price could decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could
decrease, which could cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.
Future sales of our common stock could adversely affect our stock price.
Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could
adversely affect the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through future offerings of equity or equity-linked securities. After the closing of this offering,
we will have [    •    ] shares of outstanding common stock. The shares of common stock offered in this offering will be freely tradable without
restriction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), except for any shares of our common stock that may be held or acquired by our directors, executive officers and other
affiliates, as that term is defined in the Securities Act, the sale of which will be restricted under the Securities Act.
Our
executive officers and directors and certain stockholders have agreed with the underwriters, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose
of any common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock during the period from the date of this prospectus continuing through the date 180 days after the
date of this prospectus. These shares will represent approximately [    •    ]% of our common stock outstanding, excluding shares issued in this
offering. As restrictions on resale end, the market price of our common stock could decline if the holders of the restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.
Rodman & Renshaw, LLC may, in its sole discretion, release any of these shares from these restrictions at any time without notice. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" and
"Underwriting."
All
of our shares of common stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus may be sold in the public market by existing stockholders 180 days after the date of this
prospectus, subject to applicable volume and other limitations imposed under federal securities laws.
In
the future, we may also issue our securities in connection with investments or acquisitions or in order to raise capital for other purposes. The amount of shares of our common stock
issued in
21
Table of Contents
connection
with these matters could constitute a material portion of our then-outstanding shares of our common stock.
A single stockholder currently owns a majority of our voting stock and controls the company. Such control affects our corporate governance, and could also have the effect of
delaying or preventing a change of control of the company.
MV Holdings, LLC owns approximately 85% of our voting equity. Following the Reorganization and assuming a sale of
[    •    ] shares in this offering and assuming that the underwriters do not exercise their overallotment option, MV Holdings, LLC will
continue to own [    •    ]% of our common stock. Accordingly, MV Holdings, LLC would be able to exert a controlling influence over the
outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval, such as the election of directors, amendments to our certificate of incorporation, mergers and various other matters. The concentration of ownership
could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of the Company. In addition, the interests of MV Holdings, LLC may differ from those of our other stockholders, and it
may take actions that advance its individual interests to the detriment of our other stockholders. If the underwriters were to exercise their overallotment option in full, MV Holdings, LLC
would own [    •    ]% of our common stock.
MV
Holdings, LLC is beneficially owned by Johnelle Hunt. Ms. Hunt also beneficially owns approximately 17.4% of the outstanding common stock of J.B. Hunt Transport
Services, Inc., a trucking and transportation company. The Company outsources its logistics and delivery operations to J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. Pursuant to this arrangement,
which was negotiated on an arm's length basis, the Company pays standard rates, with aggregate annual payments of approximately $1.5 million.
The payment of dividends is at the sole discretion of the board of directors, and we do not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock.
Since we have no current plans to pay cash dividends on our common stock, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell
your common stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it. We do not anticipate paying any dividends to our stockholders for the foreseeable future. The agreements governing our
indebtedness also restrict our ability to pay dividends. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our results of
operations, financial conditions, contractual
restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our Board of Directors deems relevant. Accordingly, you may have to sell some or all of your common stock in order to generate
cash flow from your investment. You may not receive a gain on your investment when you sell our common stock and may lose some or all of the amount of your investment. Investors seeking cash dividends
in the foreseeable future should not purchase our common stock.
Our
existing revolving credit agreement contains restrictions on our ability to pay dividends, and any deferral in interest payments on our indebtedness would restrict our ability to pay
dividends. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources."
We will incur increased costs and a greater burden on our management resources as a result of being a publicly-traded company.
As a public company with listed equity securities, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses not presently
incurred. We are required to comply with certain laws, regulations and requirements, including provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, related Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and
requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC. Compliance with these rules, regulations and requirements may occupy a significant amount of the time of our Board of
22
Table of Contents
Directors,
management and officers and may increase our legal and financial compliance costs. We estimate the annual incremental costs to operate as a public company to be approximately
$1.0 million.
Our failure to maintain adequate internal controls over our financial and management systems may cause errors in our financial reporting. These errors may cause a loss of
investor confidence and result in a decline in the price of our common stock.
Our public company reporting obligations and our anticipated growth will likely strain our financial and management systems, internal
controls and our employees. In addition, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to finish documenting and testing our internal controls so our management can
certify the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and our independent registered public accounting firm can render an opinion on our internal controls over financial
reporting by the time our annual report for fiscal year 2012 is due and annually thereafter.
We
are currently taking the necessary steps to comply with Section 404. However, this process is time consuming and costly. If during this process we identify one or more material
weaknesses in our internal controls, it is possible that our management may not be able to certify that our internal controls are effective by the certification deadline. We cannot be certain we will
be able to successfully complete the implementation, certification and attestation requirements of Section 404 within the time period allowed.
Moreover,
if we identify any material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls, we will have to implement appropriate changes to these controls, which may require
specific compliance training for our directors, officers and employees, require the hiring of additional finance, accounting, legal and other personnel, entail substantial costs to modify our existing
accounting systems and take a significant period of time to complete. Such changes may not, however, be effective in maintaining the adequacy of our internal controls, and any failure to maintain that
adequacy, or consequent inability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis, could increase our operating costs and could materially impair our ability to operate our business.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to prevent fraud. As a result, our failure to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 on
a timely basis could result in us being subject to regulatory action and a loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, both of which in turn could cause the market
value of our common stock to decline.
Certain provisions in our corporate organizational documents may inhibit or prohibit a takeover of us and the replacement or removal of our management.
In addition to the effect that the concentration of ownership and voting power in MV Holdings, LLC may have, certain provisions
contained in our corporate organizational documents and the Delaware General Corporation Law may make an acquisition of us more difficult. For example, our certificate of incorporation includes a
provision authorizing our Board of Directors to issue blank check preferred stock without stockholder approval, which, if issued, would increase the number of outstanding shares of our capital stock
and make it more difficult for a stockholder to acquire us. Our certificate of incorporation also provides that director vacancies can only be filled by an affirmative vote of a majority of directors
then in office, that stockholders may not act by written consent, and that special meetings of our stockholders may only be called by our Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by an
affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office. Furthermore, our bylaws require advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations. As a Delaware corporation, we are subject
to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which, in general, prevents an interested stockholder, defined generally as a person owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock,
from engaging in a business combination with us for three years following the date that such person became an interested stockholder unless certain specified conditions are satisfied.

These
provisions may prevent a merger or acquisition of us which could limit the price investors would pay for our common stock in the future.
You will experience immediate and substantial dilution.
Purchasers of our common stock in this offering will pay a price per share that is substantially higher than the pro forma net tangible
book value per share of our outstanding common stock immediately after this offering. As a result, purchasers of our common stock in this offering will suffer immediate and substantial dilution. Based
on an assumed initial public offering price of $[    •    ] per share, the mid-point of the price range set forth on the cover page
of this prospectus, and our pro forma net tangible book value as of September 30, 2011, the dilution will be $[    •    ] per share of
common stock to new investors in this offering. See "Dilution."

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, predictions, forecasts,
objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such
as "anticipate," "believes," "can," "could," "may," "predicts," "potential," "should," "will," "estimate," "plans," "projects," "continuing," "ongoing," "expects," "intends" and similar words or
phrases. Accordingly, these statements are only predictions and involve estimates, known and unknown risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed in them. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of several factors more fully described under the caption
"Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus, including the exhibits hereto.
Any
or all of our forward-looking statements in this prospectus may turn out to be inaccurate. The inclusion of this forward-looking information should not be regarded as a
representation by us, the underwriters or any other person that the future plans, estimates or expectations contemplated by us will be achieved. We have based these forward-looking statements largely
on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial
condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ
materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward looking statements including, but not limited to:
•
our ability to locate new retail partners and distributors and maintain and expand our relationships with existing retail
partners and distributors;
•
effectively adapting to new challenges associated with our expansion into new geographic markets;
•
disruptions in our bottling systems or distribution network;
•
our dependence on third-party suppliers to provide us with sufficient quantities of materials and glass bottles at
acceptable prices;
•
our ability to capture water from our springs at a sufficient level to satisfy consumer demand;
•
growth in the market for bottled water relative to municipal tap water or other beverages;
•
changes in the competitive environment in our industry and the markets we serve, including increased competition from
other bottled water producers;
•
consumer perception of the safety of our water;
•
our ability to maintain and enhance a strong brand image;
•
the impact of laws and governmental regulations and the outcomes of legal proceedings;
•
unusually adverse weather conditions and natural disasters including tornados and earthquakes;
•
changes in general economic and financial market conditions;
•
our ability to leverage our existing infrastructure to achieve growth while limiting the need for additional capital
expenditures;
•
increases in the cost of borrowings and limitations on availability of debt or additional equity capital;
•
our dependence upon key executive management or our inability to hire or retain the talent required for our business;
25
Table of Contents
•
our failure to maintain adequate internal controls over our financial and management systems; and
•
increased costs as a result of being a public company.
All
forward-looking statements are necessarily only estimates of future results and actual results may differ materially from expectations. The foregoing examples should not be construed
as exhaustive and you are, therefore, cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements which should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included elsewhere in
this prospectus. In particular, you should consider the numerous risks described in the "Risk Factors" section of this prospectus. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on
which it is made and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events. You should, however, review the risk factors we describe in the reports we will file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") after the
date of this prospectus. See "Where You Can Find More Information."

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that our net proceeds from this offering will be approximately
$[    •    ] million, assuming an initial public offering price of $[    •    ]
per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. Each $1.00
increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $[    •    ] per share of common stock, the midpoint of the range set forth
on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us of the offering by $[    •    ] million, assuming
that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering
expenses.
Pursuant
to an overallotment option, the Selling Stockholder has offered up to [    •    ] shares of our common stock for sale in
the offering. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the Selling Stockholder.
We
intend to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering (i) to expand our marketing and sales efforts, including the hiring of additional personnel, (ii) to acquire
additional equipment and to enhance optimization of our bottling facility, (iii) to merge our Hot Springs and Little Rock PET manufacturing facilities into a single facility in Hot Springs, and
(iv) for working capital and general corporate purposes. If the opportunity arises, we may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire, invest in, or obtain rights to, complementary
products, services, or businesses. Additionally, we may use a portion of the net proceeds to pay down existing indebtedness. We are not currently a party to any agreements or commitments for any such
transactions, and we have no current understandings with respect to any such transactions.
DIVIDEND POLICY
Following the Reorganization and the effectiveness of this offering and in the foreseeable future, we do not expect to pay any
dividends on our common stock. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on various factors, including our results of operations,
financial condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, outstanding indebtedness, investment opportunities and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant. Our existing
credit agreement generally prohibits the payment of cash dividends to common equity holders. As a result, you will likely need to sell your shares of common stock to realize a return on your
investment, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price you paid for them.
Historically,
and pursuant to the amended and restated operating agreement of the Operating Company, the Series A Preferred Unit holders (the predecessors to the Operating
Company's Class A members) have been entitled to an annual distribution equal to a percentage of their capital contributions to the Operating Company, paid on a monthly basis. In 2009 we paid
$185,000 in aggregate distributions to the Series A Preferred Unit holders and no distributions to the common membership unit holders (the predecessors to the Class B members). In 2010
we paid $185,000 in aggregate distributions to the Series A Preferred Unit holders and no distributions to the common membership unit holders. Effective January 1, 2011, we underwent a
recapitalization pursuant to which the former Series A Preferred Unit holders exchanged their interests for Class A membership units in the Operating Company, the former common
membership unit holders exchanged their interests for Class B membership units in the Operating Company, and certain of the former debt holders of the Operating Company converted their debt
into Class C membership units. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we paid $127,000 in aggregate distributions to the Class A members and no distributions to the
Class B members or Class C members. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Related Party Transactions."

the issuance of common stock of the Holding Company to the members of the Operating Company upon effectiveness of the Reorganization. Pursuant to
the Reorganization, each Class A membership unit, Class B membership unit and Class C membership unit (each a "Unit") will convert into common stock of the Holding Company at a
ratio of [    •    ] shares of common stock per Unit.

Prior
to the Reorganization, the total capitalization of the Holding Company consisted of 1,000 shares of common stock outstanding, par value $0.01 per

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
There has never been a public trading market for our common stock and our shares of common stock are not currently listed or quoted for
trading on any national securities exchange or national quotation system. We intend to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "WATR" on or promptly after the date of this
prospectus. No assurance can be given that such listing will be approved. As of the date of this prospectus, we had 14 stockholders of record.
DILUTION
If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be immediately diluted by the amount by which the initial offering price per
share paid by the purchasers of common stock in this offering exceeds the net tangible book value per share of our common stock following this offering. Pro forma net tangible book value per share
represents the amount of our total consolidated tangible assets minus total consolidated liabilities divided by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock, on a pro forma basis after giving
effect to Reorganization as described under "Description of Capital Stock—Reorganization." As of September 30, 2011, our pro forma net tangible book value was
$[    •    ] million, or $[    •    ] per share of common stock.
After
giving effect to (i) the sale of the [    •    ] shares of common stock offered by us assuming an initial public
offering price of $[    •    ] per share, which is the mid-point of
the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, less the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us and (ii) the application of the estimated proceeds
from this offering as described in "Use of Proceeds", our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2011 would have been approximately
$[    •    ] million, or $[    •    ] per share. This amount represents an
immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $[    •    ] per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of
$[    •    ] per share to new investors. The following table illustrates this dilution.

Each
$1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial offering price of $[    •    ] per share of common stock would increase
(decrease) our pro forma net tangible book value as of September 30, 2011 by approximately $[    •    ] , or approximately
$[    •    ] per share, and the pro forma dilution per share to new investors by approximately
$[    •    ], assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after
deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We may also increase or decrease the number of shares we are offering. An increase of one million
shares in the number of shares offered by us, together with a $1.00 increase in the assumed offering price of $[    •    ] per share of common
stock, would result in our pro forma net tangible book value as of September 30, 2011 of approximately $[    •    ] million, or
$[    •    ] per share, and the pro forma dilution per share to investors in this offering would be
$[    •    ] per share. Similarly, a decrease of one million shares in the number of shares of common stock offered by us, together with a $1.00
decrease in the assumed public offering price of $[    •    ] per share, would result in our pro forma net tangible book value as of
September 30, 2011 of approximately $[    •    ] million, or $[    •    ]
per share, and the pro forma dilution per share to investors in this offering would be $[    •    ] per share. The
information discussed above is illustrative only and will adjust based on the actual public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.

The
following table summarizes, as of September 30, 2011 (giving pro forma effect to the Reorganization and the sale by us of shares of common stock in this offering), the

price per share paid by our existing stockholders and to be paid by the new investors in this offering. The calculation below reflecting the effect of shares purchased by new investors is based on the
assumed initial public offering price of $[    •    ] per share, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering
expenses payable by us.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to historical data, this discussion contains forward-looking statements
about our business, operations and financial performance based on current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed
in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those discussed in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements" included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Overview
We are in the business of bottling and selling natural spring water and manufacturing preformed bottles, or "preforms," and finished
bottles from polyethylene terephthalate
resin, commonly referred to as "PET." We manage our business through two operating divisions—a bottled water division (the "Water Division") and a PET manufacturing division (the "Veriplas
Division"). Through the Water Division, we sell bottled water under our own label and under private label arrangements to customers who desire to distribute our water using their own brand. Our
branded bottled water competes in the premium segment of the bottled water market and is made available to consumers through various channels, including retail, home and office delivery ("HOD") and
e-commerce. Through our Veriplas Division, we manufacture and sell preforms and finished bottles manufactured from PET. Our Veriplas Division supplies the PET containers it manufactures to
our Water Division as well as to over 30 independent beverage bottlers. Our Veriplas Division manufactures 100% of the single-serve plastic bottle requirements for our Water Division, which provides
us with a low cost, non-interrupted plastic bottle inventory.
During
2010 and 2009, we generated net sales of $24.2 million and $22.2 million, respectively. In both 2010 and 2009, the Water Division accounted for approximately 60% of
our total net sales, while the Veriplas Division accounted for the remaining 40% of our total net sales. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we generated net sales of
$19.9 million and $18.8 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Water Division accounted for approximately 56% and 58%, respectively, of
our total net sales, while the Veriplas Division accounted for approximately 44% and 42%, respectively, of our total net sales.
Recent Developments
Recapitalization
Effective January 1, 2011, Mountain Valley Spring Company, LLC (the "Operating Company") underwent a recapitalization.
Pursuant to the recapitalization, (1) creditors holding approximately $30 million in notes payable and accrued interest payable, as well as related warrants to purchase units of the
Operating Company, agreed to convert 100% of their indebtedness into new Class C membership units and surrender the warrants; (2) the former holders of Series A Preferred Units
and related warrants to purchase additional units of the Operating Company agreed to convert their units to new Class A membership units and surrender their warrants, and (3) the former
common membership unit holders agreed to convert their units to new Class B membership units.
Financial Information and the Reorganization
Mountain Valley Spring Company (the "Holding Company") was incorporated in Delaware on October 13, 2011. The historical
financial information presented in this prospectus is that of the Operating Company. The Operating Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding
32
Table of Contents
Company
immediately prior to consummation of this offering. See "Description of Capital Stock—Reorganization." After the Reorganization, the Holding Company will directly control the
Operating Company. The Holding Company will have no business operations or material assets other than the ownership of 100% of the outstanding equity interests of the Operating Company.

Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2009
Net Sales
.    Net sales for 2010 increased $1,977,000 or 8.9% to $24,217,000 from $22,240,000 in 2009. The increase in
sales for 2010 resulted from a 7.9% increase in net sales of the Water Division and a 10.4% increase in net sales of the Veriplas Division.
Water.
Water Division sales increased $1,053,000 or 7.9% to $14,372,000 in 2010. The increase for 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily a
result of a
5.1% increase in sales to HOD distributors and a 22.1% increase in sales to our retail distributors and customers. Net sales increases to our HOD distributors resulted primarily from a 5.3% increase
in units sold. Net sales to our retail distributors and customers resulted from both price increases and a 10.5% increase in units sold. There was no change in our net sales to private label
customers.
For
2010 and 2009, sales to retail distributors and customers accounted for 19.5% and 17.3%, respectively, of the net sales of the Water Division. For 2010 and 2009, sales to HOD
distributors accounted for 70.2% and 71.3%, respectively, of the net sales of the Water Division. For 2010 and 2009, sales to private label customers accounted for 10.3% and 11.4%, respectively, of
the net sales of the Water Division.
Plastics.
Veriplas Division sales increased $924,000 or 10.4% to $9,845,000 in 2010. The increase in net sales was attributable to a
6.4% increase in
sales volume, due in part to increased demand caused by the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and the rising costs of raw materials which we were able to substantially pass through to our
customers.
Gross Margin
.    Our total gross margin, defined as net sales less cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, decreased
to 9.7% for 2010 from 12.6% for 2009.
Water.
For 2010, gross margin as a percentage of net sales for the Water Division was 11.3%, down from 20.0% for 2009. Gross margin
decreased in 2010
despite an increase in sales, due primarily to an increase in write-offs and charges to depreciation for older bottles and crates pursuant to a program instituted in 2010. See
"Depreciation and Amortization" below.
Plastics.
For 2010, gross margin as a percentage of net sales for the Veriplas Division was 7.4%, up from 1.4% for 2009, primarily as a
result of
increased sales and production efficiencies.
Selling Expenses
.    Selling expenses increased $42,000 or 1.6% to $2,765,000 for 2010. The increase in selling expenses
resulted from a 33.1% increase in selling expenses from the Veriplas Division, partially offset by a 3.5% decrease in selling expenses from the Water Division. As a percentage of total net sales,
selling expenses decreased to 11.4% for 2010 from 12.2% in 2009. Selling expenses for the Water Division include compensation of the sales force, travel and entertainment, promotional support,
contests and the HOD growth attainment program. Selling expenses for the Veriplas Division include compensation of the sales force, travel and entertainment and product development costs.
Water.
Selling expenses decreased $82,000 or 3.5% to $2,267,000 for 2010. As a percentage of net sales of the Water Division, selling
expenses
decreased to 15.8% for 2010 from 17.6% in 2009. Substantially all of the decrease resulted from a reduction in travel expenses.
Plastics.
Selling expenses increased $124,000 or 33.1% to $499,000 for 2010. As a percentage of net sales of the Veriplas Division,
selling expenses
increased to 5.1% for 2010 from 4.2% in 2009. Substantially all of the increase related to product development costs and a new marketing program.
General and Administrative Expenses
.    General and administrative expenses decreased $1,590,000 or 38.0% to $2,599,000 for
2010. The decrease in general and administrative expenses resulted from a 42.1% decrease in general and administrative expenses from the Water Division, partially offset by a
34
Table of Contents
47.5%
increase in general administrative expenses from the Veriplas Division. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 10.7% for 2010 from 18.8% in 2009.
Water.
General and administrative expenses decreased $1,682,000 or 42.1% to $2,314,000 for 2010. As a percentage of net sales, general
and
administrative expenses decreased to 16.1% for 2010 from 30.0% in 2009. In 2010 and 2009, general and administrative expenses included $204,000 and $1,855,000, respectively, related to outstanding
litigation with a distributor. This litigation was resolved in 2011.
Plastics.
General and administrative expenses increased $92,000 or 47.5% to $285,000 for 2010. Substantially all of the increase
resulted from
additional expenses for doubtful accounts. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 2.9% for 2010 from 2.2% in 2009.
Depreciation and Amortization
.    In 2010, depreciation and amortization expense increased 13.2% to $4,189,000 from
$3,702,000 in 2009. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in write-offs and charges to depreciation for older bottles and crates pursuant to a program instituted in 2010.
Interest (Expense) and Other Income, Net
.    In 2010, net interest expense decreased 2.4% to $2,234,000 from $2,290,000 in
2009. The decrease was a result of lower borrowings during the period. We expect interest expense to significantly decrease in the future as a result of the conversion of the Company's subordinated
debt to members' equity effective January 1, 2011, as described above under "Managements' Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recapitalization."
Preferred Dividends
.    For each of 2010 and 2009, the Operating Company paid preferred dividends of $184,795 to the
Class A membership unit holders. Following this offering, preferred dividends will no longer be paid as all Class A membership unit holders of the Operating Company will become common
stockholders of the Holding Company.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010
Net Sales
.    Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $1,132,000 or 6.0% to $19,949,000
from $18,817,000 for the prior year period. The increase in sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 resulted from a 2.1% increase in net sales of the Water Division and an 11.4%
increase in net sales of the Veriplas Division.
Water.
Water Division sales increased $226,000 or 2.1% to $11,126,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase
in 2011 was
primarily a result of a 1.6% increase in sales to our HOD distributors and a 4.8% increase in sales to our retail distributors and customers, partially offset by a 36.0% decrease in sales to our
private label customers. Net sales increases to our HOD distributors resulted primarily from price increases, partially offset by a 3.7% decrease in units sold. Net sales to our retail distributors
and customers resulted from both price increases and a 2.5% increase in units sold. Net sales to private label customers resulted from a decrease in unit sales.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, sales to retail distributors and customers accounted for 16.8% and 16.3%, respectively, of the net sales of the Water
Division. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, sales to HOD distributors accounted for 75.8% and 74.1%, respectively, of the net sales of the Water Division. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, sales to private label customers accounted for 7.3% and 9.5%, respectively, of the net sales of the Water Division.
Plastics.
Veriplas Division sales increased $905,000 or 11.4% to $8,823,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The
increase in net
sales during this time period was primarily a result of
35
Table of Contents
increasing
costs for raw materials, which we were able to partially pass through to our customers, and the addition of new customers, partially offset by an 8.7% decrease in sales volume. The 8.7%
decrease in sales volume was attributed to the non-recurring nature of the increased sales caused by the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico as well as a decrease in sales from one of the
largest customers of the Veriplas Division.
A
significant customer of the Veriplas Division has substantially decreased its purchases from us in fiscal 2011 and has recently informed us that it intends to internally produce over
75% of its plastic bottle requirements beginning in 2012. This customer accounted for net sales of approximately $1.9 million in 2010, or 22.3% of the Veriplas Division's net sales, and
approximately $1.8 million in 2009, or 22.2% of the Veriplas Division's net sales.
Gross Margin
.    Our total gross margin, defined as net sales less cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, increased
to 14.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from 10.4% in the prior year period.
Water.
Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for the Water Division increased to 25.8% for the nine months ended September 30,
2011 from
10.6% in the prior year period. While a minor portion of the increase is attributable to increased sales and product mix, substantially all of the increase in gross margin results from extensive
write-offs and charges to depreciation for older bottles and crates pursuant to a program instituted in 2010. See "Depreciation and Amortization" below.
Plastics.
Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for the Veriplas Division decreased to 0.3% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2011
from 10.1% in the prior year period. Despite the increase in net sales due to our ability to partially pass through increased resin costs to our customers, we were not able to pass along a substantial
portion of these increased costs and gross margin suffered.
Selling Expenses
.    Selling expenses increased $157,000 or 8.1% to $2,091,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2011. The increase in selling expenses resulted from a 5.7% increase in selling expenses from the Water Division and a 24.6% increase in selling expenses from the Veriplas
Division. As a percentage of total net sales, selling expenses increased to 10.5% for 2011 from 10.3% in the prior year period. Selling expenses for the Water Division include compensation of the
sales force, travel and entertainment, promotional support, contests and the HOD growth attainment program. Selling expenses for the Veriplas Division include compensation of the sales force, travel
and entertainment and product development costs.
Water.
Selling expenses increased $96,000 or 5.7% to $1,781,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. As a percentage of
the Water
Division's net sales, selling expenses increased to 16.0% for 2011 from 15.5% in the prior year period. Substantially all of the increase was a result of additional sales employees and increased
participation in trade shows.
Plastics.
Selling expenses increased $61,000 or 24.6% to $310,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. As a percentage of
the
Veriplas Division's net sales, selling expenses increased to 3.5% for 2011 from 3.1% in the prior year period. Substantially all of the increase was related to product development costs.
General and Administrative Expenses
.    General and administrative expenses decreased $578,000 or 27.1% to $1,559,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in general and administrative expenses resulted from an 18.2% decrease in general and administrative expenses from the Water Division and
a 75.3% decrease in general administrative expenses from the Veriplas Division. As a percentage of total net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 7.8% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2011 from 11.4% in the prior year period.

Interest (Expense) and Other Income, Net
.    Net interest expense decreased to $240,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2011 from $1,655,000 for the prior year period. The decrease in net interest expense was a result of the conversion of the Company's subordinated debt to members' equity effective
January 1, 2011, as described above under "Managements' Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recapitalization."
Gain on Debt Conversion
.    As previously described, effective January 1, 2011, the holders of $30,288,000 of
subordinated notes payable and accrued interest payable converted 100% of their indebtedness into an equity interest in the Operating Company. For GAAP purposes, the conversion resulted in a gain of
$7,647,000.
Preferred Dividends
.    For the nine months ending September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Operating Company paid preferred
dividends of $127,000 and $139,000, respectively. Following this offering, preferred dividends will no longer be paid as all Class A membership unit holders of the Operating Company will become
common stockholders of the Holding Company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Our primary uses of cash are to fund working capital, operating expenses, debt service and capital expenditures. Historically, our
primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations and the use of our credit facilities. Traditionally, the cash generated by operations and cash and cash equivalents on hand, together
with the borrowing availability under our credit facilities, have been sufficient to meet our working capital needs, including investments made and expenses incurred in connection with our growth
strategy. Together with the net proceeds we will receive in connection with this offering and our borrowing availability under our credit facilities, cash generated by operations and cash and cash
equivalents currently on hand are sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the foreseeable future, including investments made and expenses incurred in connection with our growth strategy.

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities.
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $113,000. Our operating cash flow was the
result of net income of $6.7 million during this period consisting primarily of a non-cash $7.6 million gain on conversion of subordinated debt, offset by
non-cash depreciation of $2.1 million and an increase in working capital.
Net
cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2010 was $610,000. Our operating cash flow was the result of a $5.1 million net loss, offset by non-cash
depreciation of $4.2 million and $1.7 million of non-cash accrued interest payable.
Net
cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2009 was $1.3 million. Our operating cash flow was the result of a $6.3 million net loss, offset by non-cash
depreciation of $3.7 million and $1.7 million of non-cash accrued interest payable.
Net Cash Flow from Investing Activities.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, cash flows used in
investing activities primarily consisted of capital expenditures for property and equipment and bottles.
Net Cash Flow from Financing Activities.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $841,000 and consisted of $861,000
resulting from the conversion of a note payable into equity by the Company's largest shareholder as well as $557,000 in borrowings on our revolving loan, partially offset by repayments of $450,000 of
long-term debt and distributions of $127,000 to preferred member interest holders. Following this offering, preferred distributions will no longer be paid as all Class A membership
unit holders of the Operating Company will become common stockholders of the Holding Company.
Net
cash used by financing activities for fiscal 2010 was $742,000, and consisted of $43,000 in borrowings on our revolving loan, offset by repayments of $600,000 of
long-term debt and distributions of $184,795 to preferred member interest holders.
Net
cash used by financing activities for fiscal 2009 was $2,023,000, and consisted of repayments of $1.8 million of long-term debt and distributions of $185,000 to
preferred member interest holders.
Term Loan Agreement.
We are party to a $9.0 million term loan agreement (the "Term Loan") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent and Lender. The
Term Loan was originally entered into in 2006. On December 31, 2007, we extended the term of the Term Loan for an additional 4 years, with a maturity
38
Table of Contents
date
of December 31, 2011. As of September 30, 2011, the outstanding balance on the Term Loan was $5.65 million. We are currently seeking to extend and/or to renegotiate the Term
Loan.
Revolving Credit Facility.
We are also party to a $2.5 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent and
Lender. The Revolver was entered into in 2006 with an initial one year term, and has been extended multiple times. Unless we are able to further extend the Revolver, it will expire on
December 16, 2011. All amounts outstanding under the Revolver will be due and payable upon the earlier of its expiration or the acceleration of the loan upon an event of default. The Revolver
is a primary source of capital for the day to day operations of our business, and as of September 30, 2011, we had $600,000 of outstanding borrowings on the facility. We are currently seeking
to extend the Revolver.
Factors Affecting Future Cash Flow.
Positive cash flow from our operating activities and access to credit is crucial to our ability to operate our business. We continue to
generate cash from operating activities to service scheduled debt repayments and fund capital expenditures.
Over
the last 3 years, adverse economic conditions have negatively impacted many businesses and the limited availability of credit. We believe that the economy has not yet fully
recovered. We have taken steps to preserve cash flow but, we can provide no assurances that our future cash flow, results of operations, ability to implement our growth strategy, or ability to obtain
credit on acceptable terms will not be adversely affected by future economic conditions.
Adequacy of Capital Resources.
Our term loan and revolving loan mature December 31, 2011 and December 16, 2011, respectively. We, along with our largest
shareholder, are working to extend and/or renegotiate these loans. The adequacy of our capital resources will be determined by our ability to extend and/or renegotiate these loans.
Dependence on Major Distributors and Customers
Within the Water Division we rely on retail and HOD distributors to sell our products. Our top ten distributors accounted approximately
35% of the net sales of the Water Division during fiscal 2010. Within the Veriplas Division, we sell our PET packaging products directly to our customers. Our top ten customers within this division
accounted for approximately 68% of the net sales of the Veriplas Division in fiscal 2010. As described above, during fiscal 2011, one of the largest customers of the Veriplas Division informed us that
it intends to internally produce over 75% of its plastic bottle requirements. The loss of this customer will have an adverse effect on the net sales of the Veriplas Division. The loss additional major
distributors or customers could adversely affect our business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, investments in special purpose entities or undisclosed borrowings or
debt. Additionally, we are not a party to any derivative contracts or synthetic leases.
Seasonality.
Our business, both in the Water Division and the Veriplas Division, is subject to seasonal fluctuations, with decreased revenues during
rainy or cold weather months and increased revenues
39
Table of Contents
during
dry or hot weather months. Our business can also fluctuate due to demands from governmental authorities and private businesses related to natural and manmade disasters.
Inflation.
For the two most recently completed fiscal years, inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business and we
do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future.
Critical Accounting Policies.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Preparation of the statements in
accordance with these principles requires that we make estimates, using available data and our judgment for such things as valuing assets, accruing liabilities, and estimating expenses. We believe
that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the greatest potential impact on
our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates. Because of the uncertainty inherent in these matters, actual results could differ from the
estimates we use in applying the critical accounting policies. We base our ongoing estimates on historical experience and other various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
Accounts Receivable—Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We routinely review our customer accounts on a periodic basis by customer account aging, to determine if the amounts due are
collectible based on information we receive from the customer, past history, and economic conditions. In doing so, we adjust our allowance accordingly to reflect the cumulative amount that we feel is
uncollectible. This estimate may vary from the proceeds that we actually collect. If the estimate is too low, we may incur higher bad debt expenses in the future resulting in lower net income. If the
estimate is too high, we may experience lower bad debt expense in the future resulting in higher net income.
Property, Plant and Equipment—Depreciation
We maintain buildings, machinery, equipment, bottles, crates and racks, and furniture and fixtures to operate our business. We estimate
the life of individual assets to allocate the cost over the expected life. The basis for such estimates is use, technology, required maintenance, and obsolescence. We periodically review these
estimates and adjust them if necessary. Nonetheless, if we overestimate the life of an asset or assets, at a point in the future, we would have to incur higher depreciation costs and consequently,
lower net income. If we underestimate the life of an asset or assets, we would absorb too much depreciation in the early years resulting in higher net income in the later years when the asset is still
in service.
Income Taxes
Historically, we have not recognized any income tax liability and have not made a provision for income tax expense because the
Operating Company is a limited liability company and income taxes have been passed through to its unit holders. For pro forma purposes only, we will recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based
on temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their corresponding tax basis. The valuation of these deferred tax assets and liabilities is
based on estimates that are dependent on rate and time assumptions. If these estimates do not prove to be correct in the future, we may have over or
understated the pro forma income tax expense and, as a result, pro forma earnings. Following the Reorganization, the Holding Company will be subject to taxation as a corporation.

Table of Contents
Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance clarifies the criteria that an individual tax position must satisfy for some or all of the benefits of that position to be
recognized in a company's financial statements. The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not, and a measurement attribute for all tax
positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements. The Company adopted these provisions beginning in 2011.

BUSINESS
Our Company
We are in the business of bottling and selling natural spring water and manufacturing preformed bottles, or "preforms," and finished
bottles from polyethylene terephthalate resin (commonly referred to as "PET"). Our bottled water division operates under the name "Mountain Valley Spring Water" and our PET division operates under the
name "Veriplas." In fiscal 2010, our bottled water division accounted for approximately 60% of our total net sales and our PET division accounted for the remaining 40%. As we continue to grow as a
company, we anticipate that net sales for our bottled water division will far exceed that of our PET division.
Bottled Water Division
The predecessor for our bottled water division, Mountain Valley Spring Water of Hot Springs, Arkansas, was established in 1871, making
us America's oldest continuously operated bottled water company. The source of water for our products is natural spring water collected from three natural springs located approximately 10 miles from
Hot Springs, Arkansas. In order to protect the watershed of the springs, we own forest land surrounding each of the springs, which in the aggregate totals over 2,000 acres, and no activities are
conducted on this property other than bottling operations and selective timber harvesting in order to preserve the health of the forest. Geologists engaged by us have estimated that rain falling on
the Ouachita Mountain Plateau near the springs percolates over approximately 3,500 years to a deep underground aquifer and from there flows to the surface through the natural springs. This
"recharge cycle" allows for a slow, natural filtration of the water and the accumulation of various essential minerals, including calcium, magnesium and potassium. Water sold under the Mountain Valley
brand is taken from a single, protected, natural spring source flowing to the surface of the earth from a deep aquifer. The water sold under our other trademarked brands and our private label bottled
water products is sourced from two other Company-owned natural spring sources. The water flowing from the springs rises to the surface naturally and is collected in stainless steel, anaerobic basins
before being piped underground to the nearby Company-owned and operated bottling plant. We estimate that the volume of water naturally produced by these springs is sufficient for all foreseeable needs
of the Company.
In
the bottled water market, the Company competes both as a brand owner and a private label supplier. Mountain Valley's competitive niche as a brand owner is in the premium segment of
the bottled water market, which we estimate to comprise 10% of the total U.S. bottled water market. The parameters of the premium segment of the bottled water market are not officially defined by
industry trade groups or publication, but for internal benchmarking purposes, the characteristics that we use in determining premium status include quality of water, higher price points, and various
branding and packaging criteria. Our primary competitors that operate within the premium segment include Nestlé (San Pellegrino, Panna, Perrier), Groupe Danone (Evian), and Roll
International (Fiji), among others. We believe the premium segment of the bottled water market is growing due to increasing consumer knowledge on the quality and source differences between bottled
waters, taste preferences of consumers, perceived health benefits of bottled natural spring water, and concerns regarding the quality of municipal tap water. Mountain Valley positions itself as the
only nationally distributed domestic company competing in this segment.
Our
primary trademarked brands are Mountain Valley Spring Water™, Mountain Valley Sparkling Water™, Clear Mountain Spring Water™ and Diamond Spring
Water™. Unlike most domestic U.S. bottled water products, our water is bottled in both glass packaging and proprietary PET bottles in both still and sparkling versions. We offer our
bottled water products in 5 gallon, 2.5 gallon, 1 liter, 1/2 liter, and 1/3 liter glass bottles and 5 gallon, 3 gallon, 1.5 liter,
1 liter, 1/2 liter, 24 ounce, 20 ounce, 12 ounce, and 8 ounce plastic bottles. We own the proprietary rights to all of our glass bottles as well
42
Table of Contents
as
our 1.5 liter, 1/2 liter and 12 ounce plastic bottles. We purchase our glass bottles from third party vendors.
The
target consumers of Mountain Valley Spring and Sparkling Waters are (1) the quality conscious consumer and (2) the premium product consumer. We market our products as
"America's Premium Water Since 1871," and as being naturally high in pH, kosher and the locally produced and American alternative to imported competitors.
Our
Mountain Valley branded bottled water products arrive at consumers through the following channels:
(1)
Retail
Channels:
(a)
Natural
grocery wholesalers who deliver Mountain Valley water to grocery retail stores carrying natural and organic products.
(b)
Direct
Store Delivery Wholesalers ("DSD") who deliver to retailers of all types including grocery, convenience, club, hotels, special events, and
restaurants.
(c)
Direct
shipping to large grocery retailers who own their own distribution assets (e.g. Whole Foods Market).
(2)
Home
and Office Delivery wholesalers ("HOD") who deliver directly to consumers at their home or office.
(3)
By
package delivery companies for consumers ordering through our e-commerce system.
We
provide our Clear Mountain Spring Water™ and Diamond Spring Water™ branded bottled water exclusively through HOD distribution.
Additionally,
we provide water under private label arrangements to retail and other customers who desire to distribute natural spring water under their own brand.
We
operate an approximately 110,000 square foot bottling plant located on the spring site. Our headquarters building is located in downtown Hot Springs, Arkansas.
PET Division
To complement our bottled water business, Veriplas, our PET plastics manufacturing division, manufactures and distributes preforms and
finished bottles from PET for our use and for sale to third party beverage bottlers. Veriplas provides us both a low cost, non-interrupted plastic bottle inventory as well as a separate
source of revenue. Veriplas manufactures 100% of our single-serve plastic bottle requirements. Veriplas currently operates two PET plastics manufacturing plants totaling approximately 112,000 square
feet in Hot Springs and Little Rock, Arkansas. We plan to consolidate these manufacturing plants into a single operation at our Hot Springs facility.
The
predecessor of our Veriplas division was formed in 1998 to manufacture PET bottles and preforms for sale to independent water bottlers. In 2004, the principals of that entity,
through a series of restructuring steps with outside investors, acquired the Operating Company. In connection with the acquisition, the Veriplas predecessor was combined with the existing Mountain
Valley Spring Plastics Division to form our current PET manufacturing division, which we refer to as Veriplas.
Product Overview
Water
The source of water for our products is natural spring water collected from three Company-owned natural springs located approximately
10 miles from Hot Springs, Arkansas. Geologists engaged by us have estimated that rain falling on the Ouachita Mountain Plateau near the springs travels over
43
Table of Contents
approximately
3,500 years to deep underground aquifers and from there flows to the surface through the natural springs. This "recharge cycle" allows for a slow, natural filtration of the water
and the accumulation of various essential minerals. The water flowing from the springs rises to the surface naturally and is collected in stainless steel, anaerobic basins before being piped
underground to the nearby bottling plant. We estimate that the volume of water naturally produced by these springs is sufficient for all foreseeable needs of the Company.
The
water flowing from the natural springs is tested daily by our quality control staff, weekly by National Testing Laboratories, at least monthly by the Arkansas Department of Health,
annually by the International Sanitation Foundation, and periodically by other governmental bodies and private companies using our products. We carefully test daily everything that comes into contact
with our water, including the stainless steel holding tanks, piping, bottles and caps.
While
Mountain Valley water is being bottled, the water is filtered, ultraviolet light is applied and ozone is added to ensure there is no biological contamination. We use ozone
(O
3
) because studies have shown that it is effective against various potential contaminants, but also because it breaks down into oxygen (O
2
) after it is in the bottle. We
monitor the bottling process every 10 seconds for residual ozone and total dissolved solids. Bacterial tests are taken daily and incubated. Samples of product from each production run are put aside
and reserved for six months. The records of all in-house and third party testing (governmental agencies or independent companies) are maintained for 10 years.
Glass Bottles
For
both retail and HOD distribution, we provide Mountain Valley-branded bottled water products in 2.5 gallon, 1 liter, 1/2 liter and
1/3 liter glass bottles. For HOD distribution, we additionally provide Mountain Valley-branded bottled water products in 5 gallon glass bottles. The glass bottles are made with an
average content of 25% recycled glass. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, glass bottle sales represented approximately 50% of total revenues for our bottled water division.
PET Bottles
For
both retail and HOD distribution, we provide Mountain Valley-branded bottled water products in 3 gallon, 1.5 liter, 1 liter, 1/2 liter,
24 ounce, 20 ounce, 12 ounce and 8 ounce PET bottles. Our PET bottles are made from 50% recycled PET. The Clear Mountain and Diamond brands of the Company are also bottled in
returnable 5 gallon PET bottles. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, PET bottle sales represented approximately 50% of total revenues for our bottled water division.
PET Containers
We manufacture preforms and finished bottles from PET for use in the Company's bottled water operations, as well as for sale to third
party bottled water and other beverage producers. We manufacture the preforms and finished bottles at our two manufacturing facilities, one located at the spring site near Hot Springs, Arkansas and
the other located in Little Rock, Arkansas. In an effort to maximize efficiency and limit unutilized capacity, we intend to merge our two PET facilities into a single facility at the spring site. In
addition to all of the single-serve PET bottles used by our bottled water division, we manufacture other standard PET bottles ranging in size from 10 ounce to 4 gallon and also provide custom design
and manufacturing services for customers with unique requirements.
Industry Overview
Bottled Water
In 2010, the bottled water market, a segment of the total beverage market, had the 2
nd
largest "share of stomach"
from consumers in the United States at 14.8% versus the 23.3% commanded by soft drinks. According to Beverage Marketing Corporation, a beverage industry data and consulting
44
Table of Contents
firm,
in 2010, the bottled water market as a whole generated over $10.6 billion in sales in the United States, which according to the International Bottled Water Association, a leading industry
trade group, represents year over year growth of 3.5% from 2009. We estimate that the premium segment of the bottled water market represents approximately 10% of the total U.S. bottled water market or
approximately $1 billion. The Company's Mountain Valley Spring Water™ and Mountain Valley Sparkling Water™ products compete in the premium bottled water market.
We
believe there are several trends that support consumer demand for our bottled water products, including the following:
Emphasis on Health and Wellness
As part of a desire to live a healthier lifestyle, we believe consumers are ever more focused on increasing their water consumption and
drinking water as a substitute for high-calorie beverages, carbonated soft drinks and beverages containing artificial sweeteners. Essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium and
potassium, which are naturally found in Mountain Valley water, add to the perceived health benefits of the spring water. The naturally high pH of the spring water also appeals to certain discerning
consumers. Water with a high pH level helps the body to neutralize acidity. While we are unaware of any definitive studies as to the health benefits of consuming water with a high pH level, some
consumers believe that such benefits do exist and seek out water products with a high pH level.
Concerns Regarding Quality of Municipal Tap Water
Many consumers purchase bottled water because of localized concerns regarding some of the 55,000 different municipal tap water sources
in the United States. There have been many recent media stories and reports by independent consumer groups highlighting pollution and quality issues with municipal water in various locations
throughout the United States. According to a New York Times study, between 2004-2009, more than 20% of the water treatment systems in the United States have violated key provisions of the
Safe Drinking Water Act, with many such systems providing tap water with illegal concentrations of dangerous chemicals or bacteria. We believe that consumer concerns regarding the quality of municipal
tap water throughout the United States has been a major factor driving growth in the bottled water market in recent years.
Increasing Demand for Products Packaged in Glass
Mountain Valley packages its natural spring water in returnable glass bottles as well as single serve non-returnable glass
bottles. Some consumers express a strong preference for beverage products packaged in glass for the perceived taste difference over products packaged in plastic. In addition, some consumers have
health and/or environmental concerns about plastic in general and seek out products not packaged in plastic of any type.
Increasing Demand for Products Perceived as "Environmentally Friendly"
We believe consumers are increasingly favoring products with a lower environmental impact with a "reduce, reuse, recycle" mindset
becoming a common driver of consumer behavior. Areas of concern include products' packaging materials, carbon footprint and crude oil usage in production and distribution and the impact on landfills
when disposed.
Mountain
Valley was one of the first bottled water producers to use recycled PET in its plastic bottled water containers and currently uses 50% recycled PET in all of the Mountain
Valley-branded plastic bottled water containers. The Company's glass packaging containers use an average of 25% recycled material. In order to communicate our commitment to environmental
sustainability to consumers, we have developed and placed a slogan on select packaging that states: "If you recycle it again, we'll use it again."
45
Table of Contents
As
a domestic alternative to imported competitors, Mountain Valley water is inherently the more environmentally friendly product as transportation is such a large component of bottled
water's environmental impact. This positioning is easily understood by American consumers who are concerned with such issues and who want to "Eat Local" or "Buy American."
PET Bottles
The PET container market is generally divided into two product categories: conventional and custom. Veriplas produces both conventional
and custom PET beverage container products. The conventional category is larger by volume and is characterized by high volume production of containers for use in packaging beverages. Conventional
products are supplied by independent merchant bottle producers and by fully integrated bottling companies making containers for themselves. The custom category consists of containers for food and
beverage products that have special attributes such as colors, special shapes, or additives to resin having different performance attributes such as UV screening or biodegradibility.
Although
some consumers express a dislike for plastic packaging, this material has become the packaging of choice for over 50% of the beverage industry. Aluminum is second in volume
followed in much smaller quantities by glass and other materials such as film and laminated cardboard. The beneficial attributes of PET plastic as a packaging material include low cost, low
permeability (liquids within stay carbonated longer), safety (it doesn't shatter or easily break), and it is easily recycled and reused.
Recycled
PET is a growing part of the container market as consumers express a preference for products with recycled PET content. There are a number of suppliers of food grade recycled
PET in the U.S.
We
anticipate additional changes in the PET market as the suppliers of the chemical components of PET continue to increase their use of renewable sources, as opposed to
non-renewable, petroleum-based sources, in their production process. Certain large soft drink and bottled water producers have recently announced they will be sourcing their PET containers
wholly from a combination of renewable and recycled sources in the coming years.
Competitive Strengths
We believe the competitive strengths of Mountain Valley include the following:
Defensive Market Niches
Due in large part to our brand equity and consumer recognition, developed over a 140-year period, we believe our position
in the premium segment of the U.S. bottled water market, as the only nationally distributed domestic alternative to the imported products of our international competitors, would require significant
resources to duplicate. Further, the location of our springs and bottling assets in the central United States is a significant logistical advantage in the our overall cost structure versus our
international competitors.
In
addition, the relative scarcity of glass bottles both for smaller, non-returnable packages as well as the larger 2.5 gallon and 5 gallon returnable packages makes it
difficult for new competitors to enter the market for bottled water packaged in glass.
Taste of Mountain Valley Spring Water
The sweet, crisp taste of Mountain Valley water is attributed to the slow, natural filtration process that occurs as water slowly makes
its way to the underground aquifer and then returns to the surface through our three natural springs. Mountain Valley water has twice been named the "Best Tasting
46
Table of Contents
Bottled
Water in the World" at the esteemed Berkley Springs International Water Tasting Competition. We believe the high taste quality of Mountain Valley water is supported by consistent consumer
demand, which is evident in our 140 years of continuous commercial operation.
Health and Wellness Trends
As part of a desire to live a healthier lifestyle, consumers are increasingly focused on drinking more water relative to consumption of
other beverages with the average annual per capita consumption of bottled water reaching 28.3 gallons in 2010. The slow, natural filtration process described above adds essential minerals such as
calcium, magnesium and potassium to our water. These minerals add to the perceived health benefits of premium bottled natural spring water. Further, the naturally high pH of Mountain Valley water is
prized by natural and organic consumers that desire alkaline water to help offset modern high acid diets.
Strong Brand Recognition
We believe the Mountain Valley brand has long been recognized in the premium bottled water industry and identified with high quality
products. We believe that this brand recognition represents a competitive advantage in the markets in which we operate.
Environmental Awareness by Consumers
We strive to minimize the impact that our operations and our products have on the environment. To that end, we use recycled content in
all of our glass and PET bottles; we withdraw water from the springs in a manner that does not jeopardize the long term viability of the local watershed; we work with government, industry and public
interest groups to recover and reuse as much bottled water packaging as possible.
Key Retail Relationships
We participate in multiple retail channels both directly and indirectly through our network of retail distributors. Although a
significant portion of our retail business is attributed to food retailers, such as major grocery stores and natural products retailers, we also have relationships with "off-premise"
retailers such as wine and liquor retailers, delicatessens, and drug stores as well as "on-premise" retailers such as restaurants, in-store restaurants, resorts, country clubs,
catering companies, bars and coffee houses.
Among the retailers with whom we have existing relationships are Publix, H-E-B, Whole Foods Market, Sprouts Farmers Market, and The Fresh Market.
Home and Office Delivery
Historically our Home and Office Delivery (HOD) system has provided us with consistent cash flow and revenue. The over 125 independent
HOD distributors selling our products directly to consumers in their home or office provides us with a different, additional route to the consumer. HOD is only offered by a very limited number of
companies operating in the premium bottled water market. Additionally, the HOD system enhances brand awareness, and the HOD infrastructure provides leverage to our retail operations in terms of
transportation, production, and general and administrative functions.
Management's Proven Track Record
Our management team is well experienced in the beverage industry in general with particular emphasis in the bottled water industry,
with our top 6 managers having over 130 years of combined beverage industry experience. Our CEO, James "Breck" Speed III, has over 23 years experience in the bottled water industry and
serves on the board of directors and various committees of the International
47
Table of Contents
Bottled
Water Association. Our CFO, Brad Frieberg is a co-founder of the predecessor to our Veriplas division and has over 13 years experience in the PET containers industry and
over 7 years experience in the bottled water industry. The experience level within the Company is deep overall as 38 of our employees have over 10 years' tenure with the Company,
including 16 employees with over 20 years' tenure.
Seasonality and Disaster Relief
Our business, both in our bottled water division and our Veriplas division, is subject to seasonal fluctuations, with decreased
revenues during rainy or cold weather months and
increased revenues during dry or hot weather months. Our business can also fluctuate due to demands from governmental authorities and private businesses related to natural and manmade disasters.
Marketing
Our bottled water products are marketed to consumers through both traditional marketing, with selected magazine and television
advertisements, and special or "guerilla marketing" events like wine tastings, high end charitable events, product samplings in organic and natural food stores, documentary film festivals and other
promotional opportunities. We develop consumer recognition through placement of our product in high end restaurants, spas, hotels and other premium locations. We regularly seek to place stories about
our products in free media through public relations efforts, and we gain consumer awareness of our product by supplying Mountain Valley water to movie and television production companies and for
various celebrity events.
We
work with different groups, and the leaders within those groups, involved in the promotion of food and beverage education. These groups include The Southern Food & Beverage
Museum and The Southern Foodways Alliance as well numerous local food and wine festivals.
Mountain
Valley also has a new media "business to consumer" sales strategy using vehicles such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and coordinated search engine optimization programs that
drive consumers to our new e-commerce site where they can "Buy Mountain Valley Now!" or "Find a Distributor!" At the site, people wanting to order Mountain Valley can easily complete their
purchase, and delivery will be achieved through our network of HOD distributors or third parties such as UPS and FedEx.
We
market our PET container products primarily at trade shows and conferences and through direct sales efforts to beverage bottlers.
Bottling
We control the bottling process at our bottling facility, which is located adjacent to the springs. We operate one fully automated
glass production line with annual production capacity of 2,300,000 to 4,600,000 cases of glass bottles and one fully automated PET production line with annual production capacity of 3,500,000 to
7,000,000 cases of PET bottles. Production capacity will vary depending on the hours scheduled for production each week and scheduled and unscheduled downtime. Currently, both of these production
lines utilize a single palletizer, and an additional
palletizer will have to be installed for us to optimize the production capacity of these lines. Additionally, we operate three production lines for our multi-gallon products. Our current production
capacity is more than sufficient to meet our reasonably foreseeable needs.

Table of Contents
Distribution
We market and distribute our water products through three primary channels: retail (both on-premise and
off-premise), home and office delivery (HOD) and private label.
Retail
We participate in multiple retail channels with hundreds of chain and independent retail partners. Although a significant portion of
our retail business is attributed to food retailers, such as major grocery stores and natural products retailers, we also have relationships with other off-premise retailers such as wine
and liquor retailers, delicatessens, and drug stores as well as on-premise retailers such as restaurants, in-store restaurants and delicatessens, resorts, country clubs,
catering companies, bars and coffee houses. Among the retailers with whom we have existing relationships are Publix,
H-E-B, Whole Foods Market, Sprouts Farmers Market, and The Fresh Market.
To
service our retail outlets, we ship directly to certain retailers, we maintain a direct to store delivery ("DSD") network of distributors comprised of both alcoholic and
non-alcoholic distributors, and we utilize the warehousing and delivery capabilities of regional and national wholesale food distributors. For the fiscal year ended December 31,
2010, direct shipment to retailers accounted for approximately 1% of revenues of our bottled water division, sales to our DSD distributors accounted for approximately 7% of revenues of our bottled
water division, and sales through our network of regional and national wholesale food distributors accounted for approximately 12% of revenues of our bottled water division. The graphic below
highlights the geographic coverage area of our DSD distribution network.
The
coverage of our wholesale food distributor network is nationwide with some limited presence in the Pacific and Caribbean, but it is limited to retail stores buying natural and
organic products. We have some limited international distribution with our DSD distributors in Japan, Korea, Bahrain, and Canada. International sales represent less than 1% of the revenue of our
bottled water division.
Home and Office Distribution
Our HOD distribution network allows residential and commercial customers to enjoy Mountain Valley water with direct delivery to their
home or office. Deliveries are made by our network of independently owned and operated HOD distributors. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010,
49
Table of Contents
sales
to our HOD distributors accounted for approximately 70% of revenues of our bottled water division The graphic below highlights the geographic coverage area of our HOD distribution network.
e-Commerce
In May 2011, we launched our e-commerce initiative, which allows customers to order our bottled water products directly
from us through our internet website—
www.mountainvalleyspring.com
. Orders received through our website are shipped through a package
delivery company directly to the customer.
Private Label
Revenues from private label bottling account for approximately 10% of revenues of our bottled water division. We produce product for
those customers who buy a bottled water product for something other than simply low price. We appeal to those retailers and marketers who want a proprietary shaped bottle, special labeling, and
natural spring water instead of filtered water.
Growth Strategy
Our growth strategy predominantly focuses on growing the bottled water portion of our business through increased sales, expanded
product offerings and increased production capacity. As we expand our bottled water business, we intend to utilize an increasing percentage of the manufacturing capacity of our Veriplas division to
service the internal bottling needs of our bottled water division. Specifically, we seek to increase our market share and drive growth in our bottled water business by pursuing the following
strategies:
Expand Retail Business and Sales Staff
Mountain Valley water is currently marketed and sold in 31 states in the United States pursuant to our relationships with various
retail and HOD distributors. Additionally, Mountain Valley water is currently marketed and sold at retail in 49 states through our natural and organic distribution channel and can be found in such
organic retail outlets as Whole Foods Market, The Fresh Market, Sprouts Farmers Market and many independently-owned and operated organic food stores. The natural and organic segment of the grocery
industry accounts for a small percentage of the premium bottled water market. While we intend to continue our distribution, marketing and sales efforts with various organic foods retail outlets,
management believes that the key to growing our retail bottled water business is to
50
Table of Contents
increase
product placement with and increase sales from general grocery stores, club stores, mass merchandisers, and various "on premise" retailers including hotels, restaurants, catering companies,
banquet halls, delicatessens, spas, airports, sports venues, amusement parks and other locations where consumers purchase products for immediate consumption.
To
further implement our retail growth strategy, we intend to use a portion of the proceeds from this offering to recruit and hire initially up to 20 additional highly-qualified sales
professionals and support staff. Some of these sales professionals will be "national account managers" and will make key retail account calls directly with brokers and in cooperation with the national
sales staff of independent Mountain Valley distributors to gain authorizations and develop and execute promotional schedules. Some of the sales professionals hired will be "regional sales managers"
and will work with distributors and brokers to educate and motivate their sales forces and will make key account calls in the local markets of our distributors.
Regional Focus
According to Beverage Marketing Corporation and management estimates, sales of premium bottled water in Texas, California, Florida and
New York account for nearly 50% of the total domestic sales of the premium bottled water market. These are the areas where the Company has had a great deal of initial success with its retail strategy
and where it will focus its efforts over the next several years. In addition, the Mid South and South East regions of the United States are close in proximity to the Company's manufacturing and
production facilities, and these regions are substantially within the coverage area of the Company's established network of DSD distributors, which serve our existing retail customers, including
Publix Food Stores. We intend to focus on developing our presence in these regions more fully both at retail and on-premise locations before increasing our focus on other regions and other
retail opportunities. We believe it is
highly important to build volume regionally to both ensure sustainable consumer demand within the region but also to become viewed as a reliable and profitable supplier to our distribution and retail
partners.
Future
expansion plans will be implemented as management believes we have achieved a certain density and sustainable distribution within the regions described above. Geographic expansion
plans will include establishing or increasing our presence and sales in additional regions of the United States as well as pursuing international sales opportunities. The Company currently has limited
distribution in Canada, the Caribbean, Japan, Korea and Bahrain.
Product Line Expansion
Management is highly conscious of the 140 years of brand equity in Mountain Valley Spring and Sparkling Waters and is dedicated
to maintaining and enhancing the natural, premium, and "American based" strengths of the brand. Management believes there are certain opportunities within the Mountain Valley brand equity to expand
stock-keeping unit (or SKU) offerings, which may include the addition of flavor essences within the sparkling line and other formulations. Offering additional SKUs will help us establish a larger and
more prominent relationship with retailers and distributors. Expansion of the brand will also help maximize manufacturing efficiencies and improve distribution logistics as customers increase the
average size of their purchases from us.
Expand Marketing
To drive consumer interest of both retail and HOD product offerings, the Company currently markets its products in a low cost,
event-oriented method generally known as "guerilla" marketing. These marketing efforts have been supplemented with limited magazine, web-based, and affiliate programs, including
sponsorship of television host and gardening expert P. Allen Smith's various media endeavors (which include two television shows broadcast on PBS, a nationally-syndicated cable
51
Table of Contents
program,
books, magazines, web marketing and numerous celebrity appearances), the Southern Food & Beverage Museum, and the newsletter of the Southern Foodways Alliance. We intend to continue
our "guerilla marketing" efforts in the future and will use a portion of the proceeds from this offering to increase our expenditures in this area. In addition, although we have not paid "slotting
fees" or other fees to gain access to retail shelf space in the past, we may use a portion of the proceeds from the
offering to take advantage of significant opportunities, including the payment of slotting fees, as they present themselves.
We
intend to use a portion of the proceeds from this offering to promote Mountain Valley branded products onsite at retail locations. Periodic promotions for bulk purchases, new items,
or seasonal specials have proven successful at generating significant consumer demand in the past and we expect to continue these activities to further increase consumer demand and retailer acceptance
of our products in the future.
Bottling Capabilities
Bottling capacity is sufficient for our short term growth plans for our bottled water business, but we plan to enhance our production
capabilities over time with respect to quantity, types of packaging, and types of beverages. The increased flexibility of manufacturing will not only allow us to sell more types of Mountain Valley
product but also supply a broader variety of "enhanced water" private label product than we currently produce. As a step toward implementing this strategy, we plan to purchase new equipment for our
bottling facility in Hot Springs, Arkansas that will enable us to substantially increase our output of both bottled water and "enhanced water" products. We plan to fund the purchase of this equipment
with a portion of the proceeds received in this offering.
Expand Existing Retail Relationships
We believe we have opportunities, directly and indirectly through our distributors, to increase store penetration with our existing
retail relationships. Most of the retailers currently carrying Mountain Valley branded products could expand the number of SKUs that they carry by adding multipacks, additional glass or PET packaging,
single serve packages for "grab-and-go" coolers in their prepared food sections, or cases for their bulk item aisles. One of the goals of our growth strategy is to generally
increase the number of SKUs carried by our retail partners.
Increase HOD Accounts
We work with our independently-owned HOD distributors to grow the number of HOD accounts. We do this by funding local efforts through
our Growth Attainment Program that financially rewards distributors who grow their customer base. We also work with our HOD distributors to utilize our combined web presences to drive consumers
looking for Mountain Valley to our web-based fulfillment center. Our web site allows an end-user to locate and contact a Mountain Valley HOD distributor within their zip code.
We expect to expend more resources and increase efforts through social media and internet marketing to increase our HOD account volume in the future.
Strategic Acquisitions
In addition, management will consider making strategic acquisitions in both the HOD and retail markets if opportunities become
available. However, we have no current agreements or plans for proposed acquisitions and may ultimately determine not to make any acquisitions in the future.
Employees
As of September 30, 2011, we had 107 full time employees, of which 10 serve as our sales team. Following the effectiveness of
this offering, we intend to increase the number of employees on our sales
52
Table of Contents
team
as we pursue our growth strategy in the retail component of our bottled water division. We believe that our continued success will depend on our ability to continue to attract and retain skilled
personnel. We have never had a work stoppage and none of our employees are represented by a labor union. We believe our relationship with our employees is in good standing.
Intellectual Property and Trademarks
We believe our intellectual property provides a competitive advantage and we have invested substantial time, effort and capital in
establishing and protecting our intellectual property rights. We have filed and maintain certain trademark registrations. We consider our Mountain Valley name and related trademarks such as "America's
Premium Water since 1871™" and "Consider the Source™" to be valuable to our business and the establishment of a nationally-branded premium bottled water. We rely on a
combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and other arrangements to protect our proprietary rights. We own 7 United States registered federal trademarks, including registrations for
our Mountain Valley name in conjunction with our Spring and Sparkling brands and their distinctive trade dress.
Competition
We compete as a brand owner in the premium segment of the U.S. bottled water market, which we estimate to be approximately 10% of the
$10.6 billion total U.S. bottled water market. The competitors in the premium segment include large international companies Nestle (Perrier, San Pelligrino, Panna), Groupe Danone (Evian), Roll
International (Fiji), and others. For 2010, the sales of our bottled water division represented less than 1% of the U.S. premium segment market and the Company faces serious competition in achieving
its growth targets. Our competitive advantages include the fact that we are a centrally-located, domestic supplier with marketing and logistic advantages over our international competitors.
The
PET container market is composed of large international companies including Amcor, Graham Packaging, Plastipak, and Constar. We compete in the PET container market by focusing our
sales efforts on small and mid-sized beverage companies not fully served by the larger companies, who need special packaging, mixed loads of products, pre-labeling of the
containers, and guaranteed delivery in peak season.

water sourced from the natural springs located on the Company's forest land is subject to the laws of the State of Arkansas, which has adopted a "regulated riparian"
system. The riparian rights doctrine considers
53
Table of Contents
water to be a common use resource rather than private property. The riparian rights doctrine attaches a water right to land adjacent to a water course. All landowners have the right to make reasonable
use of water on or bordering their property. However, the water use cannot unreasonably diminish the quality or quantity of water to neighboring landowners. The concept of reasonable use depends on
balancing the interests of all the "common owners." The rights created by the balancing process may change with circumstances over time. The riparian rights doctrine applies to all natural bodies of
water including streams, lakes, ponds and marshes. Under the riparian rights doctrine, rights remain with the property when it changes hands. The Arkansas Natural Resources Commission (ANRC) was
established to serve as the State of Arkansas' water resources planning and management agency. As such, ANRC has initial legislative authority to resolve disputes among competing parties for water
rights. We own over 2,000 acres in the aggregate surrounding the springs. Pursuant to the riparian rights doctrine, we have a legal right to capture and bottle the water flowing from our springs. We
believe that our use of the spring water is reasonable and in compliance with the riparian rights doctrine.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings arising from our normal business activities.
We do not believe that we are a party to any proceedings that, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial
condition.
Government Regulation
The conduct of our business and the production, distribution, advertising, promotion, labeling, safety, transportation, sale and use of
our products are subject to various laws and regulations administered by federal, state and local governmental agencies in the United States. It is our policy to abide by the laws and regulations that
apply to us, and we require our distributing partners to comply with all laws and regulations applicable to them.
We
are required to comply with:
•
Federal laws, such as the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Occupational Safety and
Health Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act;
•
Customs and foreign trade laws and regulations;
•
State consumer protection laws;
•
Federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws;
•
Laws governing equal employment opportunity and workplace activities; and
•
Various other federal, state and local statutes and regulations.
We
maintain environmental, health and safety policies and a quality, environmental, health and safety program designed to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
The
United States Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") regulates bottled water as a food under the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Our bottled water must meet FDA requirements
of safety for human consumption, identity, quality and labeling. Further, the sale and marketing of our products is subject to the FDA's advertising and promotion requirements and restrictions. In
addition, the FDA has established current "good manufacturing practice" regulations, which govern the facilities, methods, practices and controls used for the processing, bottling and distribution of
bottled drinking water. We and our third-party distribution partners are subject to these requirements. We also must comply with overlapping and sometimes inconsistent state regulations in various
jurisdictions. As a result, we must expend resources to continuously monitor state legislative and regulatory activities for purposes of identifying and ensuring compliance with the laws and
regulations that apply to our bottled water business in each state in which we operate. While we must meet the government-mandated
54
Table of Contents
standards,
we believe that our self-imposed standards meet or exceed those set by federal, state and local regulations.
Additionally,
the manufacture, sale and use of plastic resins used to make water bottles is subject to regulation by the FDA. We believe our beverage containers and our manufacturing
procedures are in compliance with FDA regulations.
Measures
have been enacted in various localities and states that require a deposit or tax to be charged for certain non-refillable beverage containers. The precise
requirements imposed by these measures vary. Other deposit, recycling or product stewardship proposals have been introduced in various jurisdictions. We anticipate that similar legislation or
regulations may be proposed in the future at the local, state and federal levels. Cost of compliance with the various stewardship, deposit and tax laws imposed by various regulatory authorities is
passed through to our customers in the cost of the product either by the Company directly or by upcharges added by our distributors when the duty of collection of those deposits and taxes is imposed
upon them.

Set
forth below is a brief description of the business experience of our directors and executive officers.
James B. "Breck" Speed III
was appointed to the Board in 2011. Mr. Speed currently serves as Chairman of the Board and the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and President. Mr. Speed is also the President and CEO of the Operating Company, positions he has held since 2004. He currently serves on the board of
directors and various committees of the International Bottled Water Association. Mr. Speed has over 23 years of experience in the bottled water business, having owned one of the largest
distributors of Mountain Valley water prior to joining the Operating Company. As the executive who provides overall direction for the Company, Mr. Speed offers a valuable,
first-hand perspective of the Company's day-to-day operations to the remainder of the Board. The Board believes that it is important that the Company's CEO serve on
the Board because the CEO is in the best position to understand the challenges and issues facing the Company. The Board believes that the same experience, attributes and skills that qualify
Mr. Speed to serve as the Company's CEO equally qualify him to serve as Chairman of the Board. For these reasons, the Board believes that Mr. Speed is qualified to serve on the Board and
as its Chairman.
James K. "Kirk" Thompson
was appointed to the Board in 2011. Mr. Thompson currently serves as the Chairman of the Board of
Directors of J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. ("J.B. Hunt"), one of the largest surface transportation, delivery and logistics companies in North America. Prior to assuming the role of
Chairman of the Board of J.B. Hunt in January 2011, Mr. Thompson served as Chief Executive Officer of J.B. Hunt from 1987 until December 2010. Mr. Thompson joined J.B. Hunt in 1973 and
is a Certified Public Accountant. Mr. Thompson's expansive corporate management experience at a publicly-traded company provides him the ability to understand and address the challenges and
issues facing the Company, especially following its initial public offering. His proven track record as the CEO and Chairman of J.B. Hunt, in addition to his financial acumen and strong ties to the
business community, makes Mr. Thompson an invaluable addition to the Company's Board. The Board believes that Mr. Thompson's extensive management experience, proven leadership
capabilities, and understanding of the operations of a publicly-traded company qualify him to serve on the Board.
Ross M. Whipple
was appointed to the Board in 2011. Since 2000, Mr. Whipple has been Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Summit
Bancorp, Inc., the holding company of Summit Bank, a community bank headquartered in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. Mr. Whipple is also the President of Horizon Timber Services, Inc., a
timber management company, a post he has held since 2004. Mr. Whipple presently serves as Chairman of the Ross Foundation, a charitable trust that manages over 60,000 acres of timberland for
conservation and charitable purposes. Mr. Whipple is the general partner of both the Whipple Family Limited Partnership, a limited partnership which is primarily engaged in the management of
60,000 acres of timberland located in South Arkansas, and the Whipple

Table of Contents
Family
Banking Partnership, a limited partnership which along with individual family members is the controlling shareholder in Summit Bancorp, Inc. Mr. Whipple has over 25 years
of banking experience, much of which was acquired as an executive officer and director of various banking institutions. His financial expertise is an invaluable asset for the Board. In addition, his
substantial corporate experience in banking, timber management and charitable organizations provides a broad base of relevant financial and operations experience. The Board believes that
Mr. Whipple's corporate leadership experience and expansive business background qualify him to serve on the Board.
Porter R. Rodgers, Jr., M.D.
was appointed to the Board in 2011. Dr. Rodgers, who practiced as a general surgeon in Arkansas for
over 40 years, serves as the President of Porter Rodgers Farms, Inc., a family-owned enterprise engaged in farming, real estate and hunting lease operations. He is also vice president
and a director of BRM Foods, Inc., a privately-held company that owns and operates 26 quick service restaurants in Arkansas and Missouri. Dr. Rodgers presently serves as a
director of First Security Bank, the flagship bank of First Security Bancorp, a privately-owned financial services holding company based in Searcy, Arkansas. Dr. Rodgers' diverse career and
management experience spans disciplines from medicine to banking, which allows him to bring an extensive, multi-discipline perspective to the Board. Through his service on the board of directors of
two other companies, Dr. Rodgers brings a wealth of knowledge and corporate leadership experience that helps him understand the challenges the Company will face going forward. The Board
believes that Dr. Rodgers' diverse background and experience qualify him to serve on the Board.
Bill P. Hardin
was appointed to the Board in 2011. Mr. Hardin retired from public service in 2005 after a diverse,
35-year career in the public sector. Capping a distinguished career in law enforcement, which included 28 years as an agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Mr. Hardin concluded his career serving in the administration of Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. In 1998, Mr. Hardin was appointed by Governor Huckabee to serve as the State Drug
Director, a position he held for four years. As the State Drug Director, Mr. Hardin was tasked with overseeing the implementation of the state's alcohol-and-drug
programs and policies, as well as ensuring that grant funds were being properly spent by drug task forces throughout the State of Arkansas. At the time of his retirement, Mr. Hardin was serving
as policy advisor to Governor Huckabee on law enforcement and homeland security. Mr. Hardin is the son-in-law of Johnelle Hunt. Ms. Hunt controls our largest
stockholder, MV Holdings, LLC. Mr. Hardin's leadership and policy-making experience in the public sector enables him to provide the Board with critical and unique insight on a variety
matters, ranging from policy creation to operational matters. The Board believes that this ability, gained through a distinguished career in public service, qualifies Mr. Hardin to serve on the
Board.
Bradley K. Frieberg
was appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company in 2011. Mr. Frieberg is also
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Operating Company, a position he has held since 2004.
Robert M. "Bob" Eubanks III
was appointed General Counsel and Secretary of the Company in 2011. Mr. Eubanks has been a licensed
attorney in Arkansas since 1978. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Eubanks was engaged in private law practice and is a former Commissioner of the Arkansas Insurance Commission.
Board of Directors
The responsibility and authority for managing our business rests with our Board of Directors, which is elected by our stockholders. Our
directors bring experience and expertise from both inside and outside the Company and its industry. Immediately following the closing of this offering, our Board of Directors will consist of 5
members. Our bylaws permit our Board of Directors to establish the authorized number of directors, and 5 directors are currently authorized. The bylaws also provide that
57
Table of Contents
any
vacancies or newly-created directorships may be filled only by the remaining members of our Board of Directors.
Mr. Speed
serves as the Chairman of the Board and the Company's Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Thompson serves as the Lead Independent Director. The Board believes that
combining the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and having a Lead Independent Director provides an efficient and effective leadership model for the Company, combining
clarity on strategy and decision-making with effective independent oversight. The Board believes that the combined role of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer promotes unified leadership
and direction and provides a single leader to guide the Company in executing its business strategy. The Board does not believe that the Board's independence is compromised by having a single person
serve as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes that having a Lead Independent Director ensures that a strong, independent director leads the Board's independent
directors and is a single point of contact for the Chairman on most routine board items, especially between meetings. The Board believes this structure avoids the management issues that often arise
when the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer duties are separated. Further, a Lead Independent Director helps facilitate dialogue between the Board and stockholders by specifically
identifying an independent director available for consultation and communication.
Risk Oversight
The Board has delegated to the audit committee, consisting solely of independent directors, the responsibility to oversee the
assessment and management of the Company's risks, including reviewing with management significant risk exposures potentially facing the Company and the policies and steps implemented by management to
identify, assess, manage and monitor such exposures.
Director Independence
Upon the closing of this offering, we anticipate that our common stock will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Under the
applicable Nasdaq listing standards, independent directors must generally comprise a majority of a listed company's Board of Directors within a specified period following the closing of its initial
public offering. In addition, Nasdaq's listing rules require that, subject to specific exceptions, each member of a listed company's audit committee and those members of the board of directors
determining executive compensation and director nominations be independent. Audit committee members also must satisfy the independence criteria set forth in rule 10A-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the Nasdaq listing rules, a director will only qualify as an "independent director" if, in the opinion of the company's board of directors, that person does not
have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
In
order to be considered independent for purposes of rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), a member of an audit committee of a
listed company may
not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors or any other board committee: (1) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory or
other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or (2) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.
After
reviewing all relevant relationships and considering Nasdaq's requirements for independence, the Board of Directors has concluded that Messrs. Thompson, Whipple, Rodgers and
Hardin are independent under applicable listing rules. No director or executive officer of the Company is related to any other director or executive officer of the Company by blood, marriage or
adoption. In making these determinations, our Board of Directors considered the relationships that each non-employee director has with our Company and all other facts and circumstances our
Board of Directors deemed
58
Table of Contents
relevant
in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director. Additionally, the Board considered Mr. Hardin's
familial relationship with Ms. Hunt.
Pursuant
to NASDAQ Rule 5615(b)(1) and Exchange Act Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(iv)(A), we are permitted to phase in our compliance with the independent audit committee
requirements set forth in NASDAQ Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) and Exchange Act Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(iv)(A). Under these rules, we can phase in our audit committee independence as follows:
(1) one independent member at the time of listing; (2) a majority of independent members within 90 days of listing; and (3) all independent members within one year of
listing.
Our
Board has determined that Messrs. Whipple and Rodgers, two of the three members of our audit committee, satisfy audit committee independence requirements under NASDAQ
Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) and Exchange Act Rule 10A-3. Within one year of our listing on the NASDAQ, it is our intention to have an audit committee comprised of all independent
directors as defined in Rule 10A-3.
Board Committees
In accordance with our bylaws, our Board of Directors has established three standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation
committee and a nominating and governance committee. Our Board of Directors may establish other committees from time to time to facilitate our corporate governance.
Audit Committee.
Our audit committee is comprised of Messrs. Thompson, Whipple, and Rodgers, with Mr. Whipple acting as
chair. The
primary responsibility of our audit committee is to oversee the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board, which includes: (i) managing both the external and internal audit
processes; (ii) establishing procedures for the receipt of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls or auditing matters; (iii) overseeing and interacting with our independent
auditors regarding the auditors' engagement and/or dismissal, duties, compensation, qualifications and performance; (iv) reviewing and discussing with our independent auditors the scope of
audits and our accounting principles, policies and practices; (v) reviewing and discussing our audited annual financial statements with our independent auditors and management;
(vi) monitoring the ongoing review of the Company's internal control systems; (vii) overseeing the Company's risk management practices and policies and (viii) reviewing and
approving or ratifying (if appropriate) related party transactions.
Our
Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Thompson is an audit committee financial expert, as defined under the applicable rules of the SEC, and that Messrs. Whipple
and Rodgers are "independent" within the meaning of the applicable Nasdaq listing standards and the independence standards of rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Each
of the members of the audit committee meets the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market.
Compensation Committee.
Our compensation committee is comprised of Messrs. Whipple, Rodgers, and Hardin, with Mr. Hardin
acting as the
chair. The principal responsibilities of our compensation committee include (i) making recommendations to the Board with respect to the Company's overall compensation philosophy;
(ii) overseeing the administration of the Company's compensation and benefit plans and programs; (iii) reviewing and recommending to the Board for approval the compensation for our
senior executives and (iv) assisting in the Company's compliance with the regulations of the SEC regarding executive compensation disclosure.
Nominating and Governance Committee.
Our nominating and governance committee is comprised of Messrs. Thompson, Whipple, Rodgers
and Hardin,
with Dr. Rodgers acting as the chair. The
59
Table of Contents
principal
responsibilities of our nominating and corporate governance committee are, among other things, to (i) establish membership criteria for our Board of Directors, (ii) review
director nominees recommended by stockholders, (iii) identify individuals qualified to become directors consistent with the committee's membership criteria, (iv) recommend director
nominees for approval by the Board and election by the Company's stockholders; (v) review the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics;
(vi) monitor and recommend the functions of the various committees of the Board; (vii) facilitate the annual evaluation of the performance of our Board of
Directors and its committees, (viii) periodically review management succession plans, and (ix) maintain an informed status on issues related to corporate social responsibility, public
policy and philanthropy.
Though
neither the Board of Directors nor the nominating and corporate governance committee has a formal policy concerning diversity, the Board of Directors values diversity on the
Board, believes diversity should be considered in the director identification and nominating process, and seeks director nominees that have a diverse range of views, backgrounds and leadership and
business experience.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
Our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. This code applies to all of our employees, officers, and
directors, including our principal executive, financial and accounting officers and all persons performing similar functions.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
Our compensation committee consists of Messrs. Whipple, Rodgers, and Hardin. None of the members of our compensation committee
is or has at any time during the past year been an employee of ours nor have such members served as an officer of the Company. None of our executive officers has served as a member of the board of
directors, or as a member of the compensation or similar committee, of any entity that has one or more executive officers who served on our Board of Directors or compensation committee during 2010.
Director Compensation
We have not historically had any policy regarding compensation payable to our directors. Since inception, our directors have served
without compensation, except for reimbursement of out of pocket expenses for each meeting attended.
Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors
Interested parties may communicate with the Board or specific members of the Board, including the independent directors and the members
of the various board committees, by submitting a letter addressed to the Board of Directors of Mountain Valley Spring Company c/o any specified individual director or directors at the address listed
herein. Any such letters are then forwarded to the indicated directors.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End
Given our previous privately-held limited liability company structure, in the past, we have not issued any options or other
equity awards to our named executive officers. Accordingly, none of our named executive officers had any outstanding equity awards such as unexercised options, stock that has not vested or equity
incentive plan awards as of December 31, 2010.
Risk Considerations in our Compensation Program
The compensation committee has reviewed the Company's compensation program and does not believe that it encourages excessive or
unnecessary risk taking. Base salaries are fixed in amount and thus do not encourage risk taking. Upon the effectiveness of this offering, the Board will adopt the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The
compensation committee believes that the long-term equity compensation paid pursuant to the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan will align our executive officers' objectives with those of our
long-term stockholders.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Our audit committee charter requires our audit committee to review and approve or ratify any transaction that is required to be
disclosed under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. In the course of its review or approval of a transaction, our audit committee will consider:
•
the nature of the related person's interest in the transaction, including the actual or apparent conflict of interest of
the related person;
•
the material terms of the transaction and their commercial reasonableness;
•
the significance of the transaction to the related person;
•
the significance of the transaction to us and the benefit and perceived benefits, or lack thereof, to us;
•
opportunity costs of alternative transactions;
•
whether the transaction would impair the judgment of a director to act in the best interest of the Company; and
•
any other matters the audit committee deems appropriate.
Our
audit committee will not approve or ratify a related person transaction unless it determines that, upon consideration of all relevant information, the transaction is in, or is not
inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. No related person transaction will be consummated without the approval or ratification of our audit committee, and directors
interested in a related person transaction will recuse themselves from any vote relating to a related person transaction in which they have an interest.
Related Party Transactions
Since January 1, 2010 and through the date of this prospectus, except as set forth below, no transactions have occurred in which
the Company or any of its subsidiaries was or is to be a participant and in which any of our directors, officers, holders of more than five percent of our voting securities or affiliates of our
directors, officers and five percent stockholders had a material interest.
Effective
January 1, 2011, the Operating Company underwent a recapitalization. Pursuant to the recapitalization, (1) creditors holding approximately $30 million in
notes payable from the Operating
Company and related warrants to purchase units of the Operating Company agreed to convert the indebtedness into new Class C membership units and surrender the warrants; (2) the former
holders of Series A Preferred Units and related warrants to purchase additional units of the Operating Company agreed to convert their units to new Class A membership units and surrender
their warrants and (3) the former common membership unit holders agreed to convert their units to new Class B membership units. In connection with the recapitalization, the members
amended and restated the Operating Company's operating agreement.
In
connection with the January 1, 2011 recapitalization, William Bell, a former member of the Board of Directors of the Operating Company who also owned interests in Veriplas
Containers II, LLC assigned such interests to the Company in exchange for his release from a personal guaranty on a note issued by Veriplas Containers II, LLC to an
affiliate of one our Class C Members. At the time of the assignment and release, the note had an unpaid balance of $3,976,419. Following this transaction, Veriplas
Containers II, LLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Prior to the recapitalization, the Company owned approximately 63% of the membership interests of Veriplas
Containers II, LLC.

The
Company outsources its logistics and delivery operations to J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. ("J.B. Hunt"). Pursuant to this arrangement, which was negotiated
on an arm's length basis, the Company pays J.B. Hunt's standard rates, with aggregate annual payments of approximately $1.5 million. Johnelle Hunt, who beneficially owns approximately
17% of the voting stock of J.B. Hunt, indirectly owns MV Holdings, LLC, which owns approximately 85% of the Company's voting equity (prior to giving effect to the Reorganization or the
offering). Because of the common and substantial beneficial ownership of Ms. Hunt of each of these entities, the Company and J.B. Hunt may be deemed to be affiliates of one another.
Additionally, one of our directors, James K. Thompson, serves as the chairman of the board of J.B. Hunt.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following is a summary of our capital stock and provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as each will be in
effect upon the closing of this offering, and certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"). Because it is a summary, it may not contain all the information
that is important to you and does not purport to be complete. Reference is made to the more detailed provisions of, and the descriptions are qualified in their entirety by, the certificate of
incorporation and bylaws, copies of which are filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and the DGCL.
Reorganization
Historically, we have conducted and, following completion of this offering, will continue to conduct our business affairs through,
Mountain Valley Spring Company, LLC, generally referred to in this prospectus as the "Operating Company," an Arkansas limited liability company.
In
anticipation of this offering, the Operating Company incorporated Mountain Valley Spring Company, generally referred to in this prospectus as the "Holding Company," a Delaware
corporation, as its direct, wholly-owned subsidiary for the purpose of effecting a transaction whereby the Holding Company would become the parent of the Operating Company (the "Reorganization").
Subsequent to its incorporation, the Holding Company formed Sage Merger Sub, LLC, an Arkansas limited liability company ("Merger Sub"), as its wholly-owned subsidiary solely for the purpose of
facilitating the Reorganization. Immediately prior to the closing of this offering, the Operating Company will merge with Merger Sub, with the Operating Company surviving the merger (the "Merger").
The Operating Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding Company as a result of the Merger and our business will continue to be conducted by and through the Operating Company.
Prior
to the Merger, holders of Class A membership units represented 4.9% of the outstanding voting equity of the Operating Company, holders of Class B membership units
represented 10% of the outstanding voting equity of the Operating Company, and Class C membership units represented 85.1% of the outstanding voting equity of the Operating Company. In the
Merger, each membership unit in the Operating Company will be converted into shares of common stock of the Holding Company. Following the Merger and the completion of this offering, and assuming that
the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional shares from the Selling Stockholder, the former Class A membership unit holders of the Operating Company will collectively
hold [    •    ]% of the outstanding common stock of the Holding Company, the former Class B membership unit holders will collectively
hold [    •    ]% of the outstanding common stock of the Holding Company, and the former Class C membership holders will collectively
hold [    •    ]% of the outstanding common stock of the Holding Company. Following the completion of the Reorganization, the Holding Company
will own 100% of the equity interests in the Operating Company. The following chart provides the historical and pro forma ownership of each of the Class A, Class B and Class C
members of the Operating Company

ownership of each of the Class A, Class B, and Class C members set forth in this chart reflects an adjustment pursuant to a previously negotiated ratio.
(2)
MV
Holdings, LLC holds 99.38% of the Class C membership units of the Operating Company.
In
the Reorganization, in addition to the shares of common stock of the Holding Company that each former member of the Operating Company will receive, the former Class A members
will also receive special cash merger consideration of $83,250, to be distributed pro rata among the former Class A
members. This cash payment is being provided in consideration for the agreement of the former Class A members to forfeit certain preferential rights to which they were entitled under the
Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of the Company.
We
are offering shares of common stock of the Holding Company in this offering. Prior to the Reorganization, the Holding Company has not conducted any activities other than those
incident to its formation and the preparation of this prospectus, nor has the Holding Company owned any significant assets. Following completion of this offering, the Holding Company will have no
business operations or material assets other than its direct ownership of 100% of the outstanding equity interests of the Operating Company through which it will control all of the business and
affairs of the Operating Company. Following the Reorganization, the current Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of the Operating Company will be amended and restated in its entirety.
General
Following the consummation of the Reorganization, our authorized capital stock will consist of
(i) [    •    ] shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and
(ii) [    •    ] shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. Immediately following the completion of this offering, there will
be [    •    ] shares of our common stock outstanding and no shares of our preferred stock outstanding.
Common Stock
Each holder of our common stock will be entitled to one vote for each share held by such stockholder on all matters with respect to
which the holders of such common stock are entitled to vote. Our common stock has no conversion rights and is not subject to redemption. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up or
after payment of all creditors of the Company, the holders of our common stock (subject to the prior rights of the holders of outstanding preferred stock, if any) will be entitled to receive pro rata
any assets distributable to holders of common stock based on the number of shares held by them. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights that entitle
67
Table of Contents
them
to purchase their pro rata share of any offering of shares of any class or series and, therefore, our stockholders may not be permitted to invest in future issuances of our common stock and as a
result will be diluted.
The
holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by our Board of Directors from legally available sources. However, the payment of dividends on our
common stock would be subject to any prior rights of the holders of any preferred stock.
To
the greatest extent permitted by the DGCL, the shares of our common stock will be uncertificated, and transfer will be reflected by book entry.
Preferred Stock
Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, we have authority to issue up to
[    •    ] shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our Board of Directors to, at any
time and without stockholder approval, issue one or more new series of such preferred stock, with such terms as determined by our Board of Directors in accordance with our certificate of
incorporation. We do not have any series of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Board of Directors
Our bylaws provide for a board of directors consisting of not less than three nor more than fifteen members, the exact number of which
shall be fixed from time to time by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office.
Nomination
of persons for election to the board of directors may be made at a meeting of stockholders by or at the direction of the board of directors. In addition, our bylaws provide
that stockholders may nominate persons for election to the board of directors by giving timely notice of their intent in writing to the Company. To be timely, (i) in the case of an annual
meeting, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to the Company at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the
immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is changed by more than 30 days from such anniversary date, notice
by the stockholder must be so received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the
meeting was made, whichever occurs first, and (ii) in the case of a special meeting at which directors are to be elected, not later than the close of business on the 10th day following
the day on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the meeting was made, whichever occurs first. For the first annual meeting of stockholders after the closing of
this offering, a stockholder's notice shall be timely if delivered to the Company not later than the
close of business on the 10th day following the day on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the meeting was made, whichever occurs first. Our bylaws also
specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder's notice.
In
an uncontested election of directors, directors will be elected by a majority of the votes cast, whether in person or represented by proxy. If an incumbent director in an uncontested
election fails to receive a majority of the votes cast, he or she is required to tender his or her resignation to the board of directors, which is required to accept or reject such resignation with
90 days of the certification of the results of the failed election. In a contested election of directors, the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in
person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting of stockholders and entitled to vote in the election of directors. Holders of our common stock will not be entitled to cumulate votes in the
election of directors.
Any
vacancy on the board of directors that results from an increase in the number of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office as long as a quorum is present.
Any other
68
Table of Contents
vacancy
may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.
Any
or all of the directors of the Company may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power
of the Company's then outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.
Stockholders
Our bylaws provide that an annual meeting of stockholders must be held each year. At the annual meeting, stockholders will elect
directors and transact such other business as properly may be brought before the meeting. Our bylaws provide that written notice of any meeting of stockholders must be given to each stockholder
entitled to vote at such meeting not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting.
Stockholders
may bring business before an annual meeting by giving timely notice in writing to the Company. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to the Company at our
principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however,
that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is changed by more than 30 days from such anniversary date, notice by the
stockholder must be so received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the meeting
was made, whichever occurs first. For the first annual meeting of stockholders after the closing of this offering, a stockholder's notice shall be timely if delivered to the Company not later than the
close of business on the 10th day following the day on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the meeting was made, whichever occurs first. Our bylaws also
specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder's notice.
The
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of stockholders.
With respect to any matter other than certain elections of directors (as discussed above), the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and
entitled to vote on the subject matter shall decide every question submitted to the stockholders at a meeting at which a quorum is present.
Special
meetings of stockholders may be called only by the Company's Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of
directors then in office.
Our
certificate of incorporation provides that stockholders are not permitted to take action by written consent. Instead, any action required or permitted to be taken by the Company's
stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors may be taken only by vote at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders at which such action may be taken.
Stockholder Voting on Certain Fundamental Issues
Delaware law permits a corporation to include supermajority provisions in its certificate of incorporation and bylaws with respect to
the approval of various issues. However, other than the effect of Section 203 of the DGCL and voting on an amendment to certain sections of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws (as
discussed below), no supermajority voting requirement provisions related to matters upon which the stockholders may vote are included in our certificate of incorporation or bylaws.
69
Table of Contents
Limitation of Liability of Directors
The DGCL provides that a corporation can, by a provision in its certificate of incorporation, limit a director's liability for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; provided, however, that a corporation cannot limit a director's liability for: any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or
its stockholders; acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; payment of a dividend or the repurchase or redemption of stock in violation
of Delaware law; or any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Our
certificate of incorporation provides that to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, no director of the Company will be liable to the Company or its stockholders for damages
arising from a breach of fiduciary duty owed to the Company or its stockholders.
Indemnification
Our certificate of incorporation requires the Company to indemnify any person to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL who was or is
a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding because he is or was a director or officer of the Company, or, while a director, officer
or other employee of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise. In addition, the Company, to the fullest extent authorized under Delaware law, will pay in advance of the final disposition of any such proceeding all expenses incurred by any director or
officer in connection with such proceeding. The Company may, by action of its board of directors, provide indemnification to its employees and agents with the same or lesser scope and effect as the
foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.
The
Company is also authorized to purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified.
The
right to indemnification is not exclusive of any other right which that individual may have or hereafter acquire under the our certificate of incorporation or under any statute,
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
We
believe that the limitation of liability and indemnification provisions discussed above are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced directors and officers. The
provisions, however, may
discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation
against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. A stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay
the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these provisions.
Exclusive Forum Provision
Our certificate of incorporation provides that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum or the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware determines that an indispensible party is not subject to the jurisdiction of the Delaware courts but can be joined in another forum in the United States, the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, any action asserting a claim of breach of a
fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company's stockholders, any action asserting a claim against the Company arising pursuant to any
provision of the DGCL or the Company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or any action asserting a claim against the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

Table of Contents
Amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation
Under Delaware law, unless a higher vote is required in the certificate of incorporation of a corporation, an amendment to such
certificate of incorporation generally may be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the proposed amendment. Notwithstanding any provision of a corporation's certificate
of incorporation to the contrary, under Delaware law, holders of a class of a corporation's stock are entitled to vote as a class on the approval of any amendment to the corporation's certificate of
incorporation which would:
•
increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of such class (subject to certain exceptions);
•
increase or decrease the par value of the shares of such class; or
•
alter or change the powers, preferences or rights of such class so as to affect them adversely.
Under
our certificate of incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the combined voting power of all of the then-outstanding
shares of our common stock eligible to be cast on the matter is required in order to amend, alter, change or repeal the sections of our certificate of incorporation related to the limitation of
liability of directors and indemnification of directors and officers, the prohibition of stockholder action by written consent, the election to be covered by DGCL Section 203, the exclusive
forum provision, the calling of special meetings of stockholders, and the procedures required to amend the certificate of incorporation.
Amendment of our Bylaws
Under our certificate of incorporation, the board of directors is expressly authorized to make, repeal, alter, amend and rescind our
bylaws. The stockholders also have the ability to make, repeal, alter, amend and rescind our bylaws by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares, except that a
two-thirds vote is required for the stockholders to amend the bylaws sections related to bringing matters before an annual stockholder meeting, nominating and electing directors and
filling vacancies on the board of directors, and the procedures required to amend our bylaws.
Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Blank Check Preferred Stock.
Our board of directors can at any time, under our certificate of incorporation and without stockholder
approval, issue
one or more new series of preferred stock. In
some cases, the issuance of preferred stock could discourage or make more difficult attempts to take control of us through a merger, tender offer, proxy context or otherwise. Preferred stock with
special voting rights or other features issued to persons favoring our management could stop a takeover by preventing the person trying to take control of us from acquiring enough voting shares to
take control.
Authorized but Unissued Shares.
Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock are available for future issuances without
stockholder approval
and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and
unreserved common stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
No Cumulative Voting.
The DGCL provides that stockholders are not entitled to the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors
unless a
corporation's certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.
71
Table of Contents
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations.
As discussed above, our bylaws provide that stockholders
seeking to
bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at a meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice of their intent in writing. Our
bylaws also specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder's notice. These provisions may preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of
stockholders or from making nominations for the election of directors.
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. Subject to certain exceptions,
Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination (as defined in such section) with an "interested stockholder" (defined generally as any
person who beneficially owns 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of such corporation or any person affiliated with such person) for a period of three years following the time that such
stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: (1) prior to such time the board of directors of such corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted
in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; (2) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder
owned at least 85% of the voting stock of such corporation at the time the transaction commenced (excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock of such corporation outstanding (but not the
outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned (a) by persons who are directors and also officers of such corporation and (b) by employee stock plans in
which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer); or (3) at or subsequent to
such time the business combination is approved by the board of directors of such corporation and authorized at a meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of
the outstanding voting stock of such corporation not owned by the interested stockholder.
Special Meetings of Stockholders.
Special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the Company's Board of Directors pursuant to a
resolution
adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office. A stockholder may not call a special meeting, which can delay the ability of our stockholders to force
consideration of a proposal or to take any other action, including the removal of directors.
Prohibition of Stockholder Action by Written Consent.
Stockholders are not permitted to taken action by written consent. Any action
required or
permitted to be taken by the Company's stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors may be taken only by vote at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders at
which such action may be taken. The inability of our stockholders to act by written consent may lengthen the amount of time required to take stockholder actions. As a result, stockholders will not be
able to amend our bylaws or remove directors without holding a meeting of our stockholders called in accordance with our bylaws.
Board Size; Board Vacancies Filled Only by Majority of Directors.
The Company's Board of Directors is solely responsible for fixing the
number of
directors that will comprise our Board of Directors. Furthermore, vacancies and newly created seats on our Board of Directors may be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office. The
inability of stockholders to determine the number of directors or to fill vacancies or newly created seats on our Board of Directors makes it more difficult to change the composition of our Board of
Directors, which promotes a continuity of existing management.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Prior to this offering, there has been no market for our common stock, and a liquid trading market for our common stock may not develop
or be sustained after this offering. Future sales of amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of
our common stock. Furthermore, since only a limited number of shares will be available for sale shortly after this offering because of certain contractual and legal restrictions on resale described
below, sales of amounts of our common stock in the public market after the restrictions lapse could also adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to raise equity capital
in the future. See "Risk Factors."
Eligibility of Restricted Shares for Resale in the Public Markets
Upon the closing of this offering, we will have outstanding an aggregate of
[    •    ] shares of our common stock. Of these shares, all of the shares sold in this offering will be freely transferable without
restriction or registration under the
Securities Act, except for any shares purchased by one of our existing "affiliates," as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, who may sell only the volume of shares
described below and whose sales would be subject to additional restrictions described below. The remaining [    •    ] shares of common
stock will be held by our existing stockholders and will be considered "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144. Of these restricted securities,
[    •    ] shares will be subject to transfer restrictions for 180 days from the date of this prospectus pursuant to the
lock-up agreements described in the section entitled "Underwriting." Restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if registered or if they qualify for an exemption from
registration under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as described below.
Lock-up Agreements
For a description of our lockup agreements with the underwriters that restrict sales by us, our directors and executive officers and
certain of our existing stockholders, see "Underwriting."
Rule 144
Pursuant to Rule 144, persons who became the beneficial owner of shares of our common stock prior to the completion of this
offering may not sell their shares until the earlier of (i) the expiration of a six-month holding period, if we have been subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act
and have filed all required reports for at least 90 days prior to the date of the sale, or (ii) a one-year holding period.
At
the expiration of the six-month holding period, a person who was not one of our affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale would be entitled to sell
an unlimited number of shares of our common stock provided current public information about us is available, and a person who was one of our affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a
sale would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of shares of common stock that does not exceed the greater of either of the following:
•
1% of the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding, which will equal approximately
[    •    ] shares immediately after this offering; or
•
the average weekly trading volume of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market during the four calendar weeks
preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.
At
the expiration of the one-year holding period, a person who was not one of our affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale would be entitled to sell an
unlimited number of shares of our common stock without restriction (whether or not current public information about us is
73
Table of Contents
available).
A person who was one of our affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale would remain subject to the volume restrictions described above.
Sales
under Rule 144 by our affiliates of shares acquired after this offering will also be subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of
current public information about us.
Because
the shares of common stock of the Holding Company issued to the former members of the Operating Company in the Reorganization were issued pursuant to an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, those shares are deemed "restricted securities" and may only be resold pursuant to a valid registration statement or an exemption from registration. The
Company does not currently intend to file a registration statement to effect the sale of any of these shares. Accordingly, all of the former members of the Operating Company must satisfy the holding
period requirements of Rule 144, which holding period commences upon the consummation of the Reorganization, before they may sell their shares of common stock of the Holding Company.
Upon
expiration of the lock-up period described in the section entitled "Underwriting", [    •    ] additional shares
of our common stock will be eligible for sale under Rule 144, including shares eligible for resale immediately upon the closing of this offering as described above. We cannot estimate the
number of shares of our common stock that our existing stockholders will elect to sell under Rule 144.
Options and Restricted Stock
Upon the closing of this offering, [    •    ] shares of common stock
will be made available for future awards under our 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which we will adopt in connection with this offering.
Following
the closing of this offering, we intend to file one or more registration statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register the sale of shares
issued or issuable upon the exercise of stock options granted pursuant to our 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The registration statements will become effective upon filing. Shares of our directors and
executive officers which are to be registered under the registration statement on Form S-8 will be available for sale into the public market after the expiration of the
180-day lock-up agreements with the underwriters described under the caption "Underwriting."

In connection with this offering, we have agreed to issue Rodman & Renshaw, LLC a common stock purchase warrant to

Lock-ups
We have agreed that we will not, for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of the registration statement of
which this prospectus is a part, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant
to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital
stock; (ii) file or cause to be filed any registration statement with the SEC relating to the offering of any shares of capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or

Our
directors and executive officers and each of our stockholders holding an aggregate of [    •    ]% of our outstanding common
stock immediately prior to the completion of this offering, have entered into lock up agreements with the underwriters prior to the commencement of this offering pursuant to which each of these
persons or entities, for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of this prospectus, may not, without the prior written consent of the underwriters, (1) offer, pledge, sell,
contract to sell, grant, lend, or otherwise transfer or

•
An assessment of our management;

Persons
into whose possession this prospectus comes are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to the offering and the distribution of this
prospectus. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or a
solicitation is unlawful.
Stabilization
In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, which involve making bids for, purchasing
and selling shares of common stock in the open market for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock while this offering is in progress. These stabilizing
transactions may include making short sales of the common stock. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares of common stock than they are required to purchase in
this offering. Short sales may be "covered" shorts or may be "naked" shorts. "Covered" short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriter's option to purchase additional shares
of common stock from the Selling Stockholder in the offering. The underwriter may close out any covered short position by either exercising its option to purchase additional shares or purchasing
shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriter will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in
the open market as compared to the price at which it may purchase additional shares pursuant to the option granted to it. "Naked" short sales are any sales in excess of such option. The underwriter
may close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there may be downward pressure
on the price of the common stock in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering.
The
underwriters have advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Act, they may also engage in other activities that stabilize, maintain or
otherwise affect the price of the common stock, including the imposition of penalty bids. This means that if the representatives of the
underwriters purchase common stock in the open market in stabilizing transactions or to cover short sales, the representatives can require the underwriter that sold those shares as part of this
offering to repay the underwriting discount received by them.
These
activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock, and, as
a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the underwriter commences these activities, it may discontinue them at any time.

We
have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Other

where action for that purpose is required. The securities offered by this prospectus may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this prospectus or any other offering material or
advertisements in connection with
the offer and sale of any such securities be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that

We
have also agreed to issue to Rodman & Renshaw, LLC a common stock purchase warrant to purchase a number of our common stock equal to an aggregate of five percent (5%) percent
of the shares sold in the offering. The warrant will have an exercise price equal to 125% of the offering price of the shares sold in this offering. The warrant is exercisable commencing one year (1)
year after the effective date of this offering, and will be exercisable, in whole or in part, for four (4) years thereafter. The warrant is not redeemable by us, and allows for "cashless" exercise.
The warrant also provides for one demand registration right and unlimited "piggyback" registration rights at our expense with respect to the underlying shares of common stock during the four (4) year
period commencing one (1) year after the effective date of this offering. Pursuant to the rules of FINRA (formerly the NASD), and in particular Rule 5110, the warrant (and underlying shares)
issued to Rodman & Renshaw, LLC may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would
result in the effective disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of this offering; provided, however, that the warrant (and
underlying shares) may be transferred to officers or partners of Rodman & Renshaw, LLC and members of the underwriting syndicate as long as the warrants (and underlying shares) remain subject
to the lockup.
We
have also agreed to pay the underwriter expenses relating to the offering, including (a) all fees, expenses and disbursements relating to background checks of our officers and
directors in an amount not to exceed $1,500 per individual; (b) up to $16,000 for costs associated with the underwriters' use of i-Deal; (c) up to $10,000 of accountable
"road show" expenses; and (d) an advance of $50,000 against the 1% non-accountable expense allowance payable to the underwriter's in this offering.

MATERIAL U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS
The following discussion summarizes certain material U.S. federal income and estate tax considerations relating to the acquisition,
ownership and disposition of our common stock purchased in this offering by a non-U.S. holder (as defined below). This discussion is based on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and current administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as in effect as of the date hereof. All
of these authorities may be subject to differing interpretations or repealed, revoked or modified, possibly with retroactive effect, which could materially alter the tax consequences to
non-U.S. holders described in this prospectus.
There
can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a contrary position to the tax consequences described herein or that such position will not be sustained by a court. No ruling from
the IRS has been obtained with respect to the U.S. federal income or estate tax consequences to a non-U.S. holder of the purchase, ownership or disposition of our common stock.
This
discussion assumes that a prospective non-U.S. holder will hold shares of our common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code
(generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income and estate taxation that may be relevant to a particular non-U.S. holder in
light of that non-U.S. holder's individual circumstances. In addition, this discussion does not address any aspect of U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. state or U.S. local or
non-U.S. taxes, or the special tax rules applicable to particular non-U.S. holders, such as:
•
insurance companies and financial institutions;
•
tax-exempt organizations;
•
persons who hold a beneficial interest through pass-through or transparent entities;
•
regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;
•
controlled foreign corporations;
•
passive foreign investment companies;
•
pension plans;
•
persons who received our common stock as compensation;
•
brokers and dealers in securities;
•
owners that hold our common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction, synthetic security or other
integrated investment; and
•
former citizens or residents of the United States subject to tax as expatriates.
This discussion is for general information only and is not tax advice. All prospective non-U.S. holders of our common stock should consult their own
tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock. You may not rely upon this
discussion for the purpose of avoiding federal tax penalties.
As
used in this discussion, the term "non-U.S. holder" means a beneficial owner of our common stock that is not any of the following for U.S. federal income tax
purposes:
•
an individual who is a citizen or a resident of the United States determined without regard to the
"tie-breaker" rules of an income tax treaty;
•
a corporation or other business entity that was created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state
thereof or the District of Columbia;
86
Table of Contents
•
an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source;
•
a trust (a) if a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust's administration and one or more
U.S. persons have the authority to control all of the trust's substantial decisions or (b) that has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S.
person; or
•
an entity that is disregarded as separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes if all of its interests are
owned by a single person described above.
An
individual may be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a resident of the United States in any calendar year by being present in the United States for at least
183 days during the taxable year. If the individual is present in the United States fewer than 183 days, the individual may still be treated as a resident of the United States if such
individual is present in the United States for at least 31 days in that calendar year and for an aggregate of at least 183 days during a three-year period ending in the
current calendar year, and such individual has a closer connection to the United States than to any foreign country. The 183-day test is determined by counting all of the days the
individual is treated as being present in the current year, one-third of such days in the immediately preceding year and one-sixth of such days in the second preceding year.
Residents are subject to U.S. federal income tax as if they were U.S. citizens.
If
a partnership or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is an owner of our common stock, the treatment of a partner in the partnership generally
will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. We urge any owner of our common stock that is a partnership and partners in that partnership to consult their tax
advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our common stock.
Distributions on Our Common Stock
Any distribution on our common stock paid to non-U.S. holders will generally constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income
tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated
earnings and profits will generally constitute a return of capital to the extent of the non-U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in our common stock, and will be applied against and reduce the
non-U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis but not below zero. Any remaining excess will likely be treated as capital gain, subject to the tax treatment described below in "Gain on Sale,
Exchange or Other Disposition of Our Common Stock."
Dividends
paid to a non-U.S. holder that are not treated as effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States
generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% on the gross amount paid, unless the non-U.S. holder is entitled to an exemption from or reduced rate
of withholding under an applicable income tax treaty. In order to claim the benefit of a tax treaty, a non-U.S. holder must provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN
(or successor form) including a United States taxpayer identification number prior to the payment of dividends. A non-U.S. holder eligible for a reduced rate of withholding pursuant to an
income tax treaty may be eligible to obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS.
Dividends
paid to a non-U.S. holder that are treated as effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the non-U.S. holder within the United States
(and, if an applicable income tax treaty so provides, are also attributable to a permanent establishment or a fixed base maintained within the United States by the non-U.S. holder) are
generally exempt from the 30% withholding tax if the non-U.S. holder satisfies applicable certification and disclosure requirements. To obtain the exemption, a non-U.S. holder
must provide us with a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form)
87
Table of Contents
prior
to the payment of the dividend. Dividends received by a non-U.S. holder that are treated as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business generally are subject to U.S. federal
income tax at rates applicable to U.S. persons. A non-U.S. holder that is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" imposed at a rate
of 30%, or such lower rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and such holder's country of residence on dividends treated as effectively connected with a U.S.
trade or business.
A
non-U.S. holder who provides us with an IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI or other form must update the form or submit a new form, as
applicable, if there is a change in circumstances that makes any information on such form incorrect, and at least once every three years.
Gain On Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Our Common Stock
In general, a non-U.S. holder will not be subject to any U.S. federal income or withholding tax on any gain realized from
the non-U.S. holder's sale, exchange or other disposition of shares of our common stock unless:
•
the gain is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business (and, if an applicable income tax treaty so provides, is
also attributable to a permanent establishment or a fixed base maintained within the United States by the non-U.S. holder), in which case the gain will be taxed on a net income basis
generally in the same manner as if the non-U.S. holder were a U.S. person, and, if the non-U.S. holder is a corporation, the additional branch profits tax described above in
"—Distributions on Our Common Stock" may also apply;
•
the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the
taxable year of the disposition and certain other conditions are met, in which case the non-U.S. holder will be subject to a 30% tax on the net gain derived from the disposition, which may
be offset by U.S.-source capital losses of the non-U.S. holder, if any; or
•
we are, or have been at any time during the five-year period preceding such disposition (or the
non-U.S. holder's holding period, if shorter), a "United States real property holding corporation."
Generally,
we will be a "United States real property holding corporation" if the fair market value of our U.S. real property interests equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market
values of our worldwide real property interests and other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, all as determined under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We believe that we have not
been and are not currently, and do not anticipate becoming in the future, a "United States real property holding corporation" for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
We must report annually to the IRS and to each non-U.S. holder the amount of distributions paid to such holder and the
amount of tax withheld, if any. These informational reporting requirements apply even if no withholding was required because the distributions were effectively connected with the holder's conduct of a
United States trade or business, or withholding was reduced or eliminated by an applicable income tax treaty. Copies of the information returns filed with the IRS to report the distributions and
withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in a country in which the non-U.S. holder is a resident under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty or agreement.
The
United States imposes a backup withholding tax on the gross amount of dividends and certain other types of payments. Dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder will not be
subject to backup withholding if proper certification of foreign status (usually on IRS Form W-8BEN) is provided, and we do not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the
non-U.S. holder is a U.S. person. In addition, no backup withholding or information reporting will be required regarding the proceeds of a disposition of
88
Table of Contents
our
common stock made by a non-U.S. holder within the United States or conducted through certain U.S. financial intermediaries if the payor receives the certification of foreign status
described in the preceding sentence and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such non-U.S. holder is a U.S. person or the non-U.S. holder otherwise
establishes an exemption. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the information reporting and backup withholding rules to them.
Backup
withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a non-U.S. holder can be refunded or credited against the
non-U.S. holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that certain required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.
U.S. Federal Estate Tax
An individual non-U.S. holder who is treated as the owner, or who has made certain lifetime transfers (for example, to a
trust with respect to which the individual has retained certain interests or powers), of an interest in our common stock will be, absent an

Recently-Enacted Legislation Relating to Foreign Accounts
Legislation has been recently enacted that imposes significant certification, information reporting and other requirements on "foreign
financial institutions" and certain other non-U.S. entities. The legislation is generally effective for certain U.S.-source payments made after December 31, 2012. The failure to
comply with the certification, information reporting and other specified requirements in the legislation would result in withholding tax of 30% being imposed on payments of dividends and sales
proceeds on our common stock to foreign financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. holders. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the
application of this legislation to them.

Mountain Valley Spring Company, LLC
and Subsidiaries
Hot Springs, Arkansas
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mountain Valley Spring Company, LLC and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2010, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, members' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2010. The Company's management is
responsible
for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no opinion. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mountain Valley Spring Company, LLC and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2010
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

for the
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 and 2011 is Unaudited)
1.
Nature of Business
Mountain Valley Spring Company, LLC and Subsidiaries (the "Company") operates primarily as a wholesale and retail distributor of bottled water and as a manufacturer of preforms
and finished containers from polyethylene terephthalate resin (commonly referred to as "P.E.T."). The Company's bottling facility is located in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The Company also has P.E.T.
manufacturing facilities in Little Rock and Hot Springs, Arkansas. The Company sells its products primarily to customers located throughout the continental United States.
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a.
Principles of consolidation
—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Mountain Valley Spring Company, LLC ("MVSC"), its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mountain Valley Logistics, LLC ("MVL") and Veriplas
Containers II, LLC ("V II"). In consolidation, all material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Prior to January 1, 2011, the Company owned 62.67%
of V II, with the remainder considered to be a noncontrolling interest. In conjunction with the debt recapitalization that occurred on January 1, 2011, the minority ownership in
V II was nullified and V II is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. See Notes 1.c. and 6.
b.
Unaudited interim financial information
—The accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets as
of September 30, 2011, consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, and the consolidated statements of members' equity
(deficit) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and the related interim information contained within the notes to the consolidated financial statements, have been prepared in accordance
with the rules and regulations of Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America ("GAAP") for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments,
consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's financial position at September 30, 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011. The results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 may not be indicative of future results.
c.
Debt recapitalization
—Effective January 1, 2011, the Company underwent a recapitalization.
Pursuant to the recapitalization, (1) creditors holding approximately $30.3 million in notes payable and accrued interest from the Company and related warrants to purchase units of the
Company agreed to convert the indebtedness into new Class C member units and surrender the warrants; (2) the former holders of Series A preferred units and related warrants to
purchase additional units of the Company agreed to convert their units to new Class A member units and surrender their warrants and (3) the former common member unit holders agreed to
convert their units to new Class B member units. In connection with the recapitalization, the members' amended and restated the Company's operating agreement. As a result of the
recapitalization, the Company recorded a gain in the amount of $7,647,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

—The Company accounts for subsequent events in accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2010-09, "Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements," which amended Accounting Standards
Codification ("ASC") 855, "Subsequent Events." These consolidated financial statements considered subsequent events through December 2, 2011, the date the consolidated financial
statements were available to be issued. The settlement of this dispute was previously accrued in the December 31, 2009 and 2010 consolidated financial statements, see Note 11 for further
discussion. The Company is in the process of filing an initial public offering, the proceeds of which will be used for working capital purposes. There were no other material subsequent events during
this time period.
e.
Estimates
—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
f.
Contingencies
—Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements
are issued that may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company's management and its legal counsel assess such
contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted
claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company's legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a
contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has occurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's
consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then
the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not
disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.
g.
Seasonality
—The Company's sales are seasonal and the Company may experience fluctuations in
quarterly results. The Company has historically generated a greater percentage of sales during the warm weather months of April through September. Timing of customer purchases will vary each year and
sales can be expected to shift from one quarter to the next. As a result, management believes the period to period comparisons of results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be
relied upon as any indication of future performances or results for the fiscal year.
h.
Revenue recognition
—The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria are met:
persuasive evidence of an agreement exists; delivery has occurred or services have been

rendered;
the Company's price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured. All sales to distributors and customers are final; however, in limited instances, due to
product quality issues or distributor terminations the Company may accept returned product. Sales returns were not material to the Company's results of operations for all periods presented.
i.
Fair value of financial instruments
—The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance
sheets for cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of senior debt
approximates its fair value based on its short-term maturity and since it provides for variable market interest rates. As of December 31, 2009 and 2010, the carrying value of the
Company's subordinated debt was $23,640,000 and $23,640,000, respectively, and the fair value approximated $19,779,554 and $22,632,004, respectively. The fair value for subordinated debts is based on
quoted market prices and discounted cash flows.
j.
Cash and cash equivalents
—The Company considers all highly liquid cash investments with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
As
a result of the Company's cash management system, checks issued, but not presented to the banks for payment, may create a negative cash balance. Checks outstanding in excess of
related cash balances of approximately $240,000, $501,000 and $601,000 are included in accounts payable at December 31, 2009, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011,
respectively.
k.
Accounts receivable
—The Company reviews its customer accounts on a periodic basis and records a
reserve for specific amounts that management feels may not be collected. In addition, the Company has established a general reserve for potential uncollectible accounts based on historical bad debts.
Past due status is determined based upon contractual terms. Amounts are written off at the point when collection attempts on the accounts have been exhausted. Management uses significant judgment in
estimating uncollectible amounts. In estimating uncollectible amounts, management considers factors such as current overall economic conditions, industry-specific economic conditions,
historical customer performance and anticipated customer performance. While management believes the Company's processes effectively address its exposure to doubtful accounts, changes in economic,
industry or specific customer conditions may require adjustments to the allowance recorded by the Company. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $547,776, $603,939 and $495,075 at
December 31, 2009, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, respectively.
l.
Inventories
—The Company's inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in,
first-out) or market. Nonrefundable bottles are classified as inventories in the consolidated balance sheets.

m.
Property, plant and equipment
—Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is provided primarily by the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The costs of repairs and maintenance that do not
improve or extend asset lives are expensed as incurred. Returnable glass and P.E.T. bottles are long-term in nature and, therefore, are recorded as a component of property, plant and
equipment. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings
40 years
Equipment
3 - 10 years
Bottles, crates and racks
3 - 10 years
Leasehold improvements
3 - 39 years
n.
Long-lived assets
—The Company reviews the carrying value of long-lived
assets for impairment whenever triggering events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of any such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used
is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be
recognized is measured by the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Based on management's assessment, there were no indications that an impairment loss should be recognized
at December 31, 2009 or 2010 and September 30, 2010 or 2011.
o.
Distributor deposits
—The Company charges a deposit for five gallon and three gallon returnable
glass and P.E.T. bottles. In addition, distributors pay deposits on racks and crates used during shipping. The Company has recorded an estimated liability for these deposits based on historical
experience which takes into consideration certain amounts that will not be returned or that will be returned damaged.
p.
Income taxes
—The Company files its income tax returns as a limited liability company. All income
or loss flows directly to the members and is therefore taxed on the individual level. Due to the nature of the limited liability company as described, there are no provisions for income taxes in these
consolidated financial statements.
The
Company's policy with respect to evaluating certain tax positions is based upon whether management believes the uncertain tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon
review by the taxing authorities, then the Company shall initially and subsequently measure the uncertain tax position as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being
realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The tax positions must meet the more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold with consideration given to the amounts and probabilities of the outcomes that could be realized upon settlement using the facts, circumstances, and information at the reporting
date. The Company will reflect only the portion of the tax benefit that will be sustained upon resolution of the position and applicable interest on the portion of

the
tax benefit not recognized. Based upon management's assessment, there are no uncertain tax positions expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
The
Company is no longer subject to U.S federal and state tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2006. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized
tax benefits in income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, and the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, the Company did not recognize any interest
or penalties. The Company did not have any interest of penalties accrued at December 31, 2009, December 31, 2010 or September 30, 2011.
Subject
to the Company's recapitalization and reorganization, the Company will file an election to convert from an LLC to a C corporation and, as a result, will be subject to
corporate federal and state income taxes. At the date the Company becomes a taxable enterprise, the Company will recognize an estimated deferred tax liability. Management has estimated a liability of
$1,064,000 at September 30, 2011. The effect of recognizing the deferred tax liability shall be included in income from continuing operations.
q.
Advertising
—The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising expense was
approximately $50,000, $110,000, $76,000 and $26,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, and the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
r.
Shipping and handling costs
—All shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales in the
consolidated statements of operations.
s.
Recent accounting pronouncements
—In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04,
"Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS." ASU 2011-04 amends ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures," providing a consistent definition and measurement of fair value, as well as similar disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.
ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles, clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement and expands ASC 820 disclosure requirements,
particularly for the Level 3 fair value measurement. ASU 2011-04 will be effective for the Company's first quarter of fiscal 2012. The adoption of
ASU 2011-04 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements, but may require certain additional disclosures. The amendments in
ASU 2011-04 are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.
In
June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, "Presentation of Comprehensive Income." ASU 2011-05 requires the presentation of comprehensive income in
either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for the Company's first quarter
of fiscal 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The amendments in ASU 2011-05
will be applied retrospectively. For

Note Payable
The Company maintains a revolving line of credit that matured October 31, 2011. Advances of $43,231 and $600,251 were outstanding under the line of credit at December 31,
2010 and September 30, 2011, respectively. There were no outstanding advances at December 31, 2009. Amounts available under the line of credit are based upon a monthly borrowing base
calculation. The Company's credit agreement contains covenants to maintain certain financial tests and ratios, including maintaining certain limits for senior debt leverage ratio, total leverage ratio
and fixed charge coverage ratio. The covenants also impose restrictions as to indebtedness, liens, consolidating mergers, disposition of assets, investments, sale lease-back transactions,
ownership, dividends and other distributions. As of September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with these covenants except for those identified in Section 5.03(c) of the revolving
line of credit agreement.

Note Payable
(Continued)
As
a result of certain events of default related to the agreement's restrictive covenants, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement on October 31, 2011. Under the terms of
the agreement, the lender has agreed to forbear from enforcing remedies against the Company, including forbearing its right to change a default rate through December 31, 2011. As a result, the
Company's notes payable and long-term debt have been classified as current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The
weighted-average interest rates on short-term borrowings, including senior subordinated notes payable for the periods ended December 31, 2009,
December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011 were 7.28%, 7.40% and 5.16%, respectively.

Senior Subordinated Notes Payable
The senior subordinated notes payable represent four note agreements. These notes were issued over a period from 2002 to 2004. The
maturities of these notes were subsequently extended on various dates. In conjunction with the original issuance of these notes, the Company issued warrants for member units. Accrued interest of $4.9
and $6.6 million as of December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively, was recorded in accrued liabilities. On January, 1, 2011, the
Company completed a debt recapitalization whereby the senior subordinated notes payable were extinguished along with accrued interest of $6.6 million in exchange for Class C member
units. In addition, all warrants were cancelled. The Company accounted for this transaction in accordance with ASC 470-10-60, "Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors."
This resulted in the recognition of a gain on the extinguishment of debt in the amount of $7,647,000.
Credit Agreement
The Company has a credit agreement with a national banking association having an original amount of $9,000,000. This agreement has a
variable interest rate based on the prime rate plus 1.50%. The rate was 4.75% at September 30, 2011. Principal is due in monthly installments of $50,000 through December 16, 2011, when
the remaining balance becomes due. This credit agreement is secured by essentially all assets of the Company.

current liabilities at December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively. As described in Note 8, the accrued interest was converted into Class C member units, effective January 1,
2011.
7.
Members' Equity
Effective January 1, 2011, the Company underwent a recapitalization. Pursuant to the recapitalization, (1) creditors holding approximately $30.3 million in notes
payable and accrued interest from the Company and related warrants to purchase units of the Company agreed to convert the indebtedness into new Class C member units and surrender the warrants;
(2) the former holders of Series A preferred units and related warrants to purchase additional units of the Company agreed to convert their units to new Class A member units and
surrender their warrants and (3) the former common member unit holders agreed to convert their units to new Class B member units. In connection with the recapitalization, the members
amended and restated the Company's operating agreement. This transaction resulted in the Company recognizing a gain in the amount of $7,647,000.
Pursuant
to the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, the Company is authorized to issue three classes of member units consisting of 100,000 Class A member units; 100,000
Class B member units and 1,300,000 Class C member units.
Class A member units
—The Class A member units receive a preferred distribution of 9% based on their initial contribution of
$1,850,000. At September 30, 2011, there were 100,000 Class A member units authorized with 47,471 issued and outstanding.
Class B member units
—All Class B member units carry a single vote per unit. At September 30, 2011, there were 100,000
Class B member units authorized with 96,800 issued and outstanding.
Class C member units
—All Class C member units were reserved to debt holders in conjunction with the conversion of debt to
equity. All Class C member units carry a single vote per unit. At September 30, 2011, there were 1,300,000 Class C member units authorized with 823,729 issued and outstanding.
Prior
to January 1, 2011, the Company was authorized to issue 1,100,000 units, of which 1,000,000 were designated as common units and 100,000 were designated as Class A
preferred units. At December 31, 2009 and 2010, there were 96,800 and 9.25 common and preferred units, respectively, issued and outstanding. The Company had 9.25 Class A preferred units
issued and outstanding at December 31, 2009 and 2010, which were redeemed for 47,471 Class A units. Additionally, the Company had 96,800 common units at December 31, 2009 and 2010
that were redeemed for 96,800 Class B units.
In
conjunction with notes payable discussed in Note 5, which were issued between 2002 and 2004, as well as issuance of the original Class A Preferred Units, the Company
issued detachable warrants that could be converted into ownership at approximately $.01 per unit. All of the warrants were

as a result of the recapitalization transaction. No warrants were issued during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, or the nine-month period ended

Commitments and Contingencies
a.
401(k) plan
—MVSC has a 401(k) plan under which employees are eligible to participate after they
have met certain requirements. Contributions made by MVSC of approximately $50,000, $43,000, $32,000 and $30,000 are included in administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2009
and 2010, and the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
b.
Operating leases
—The Company leases warehouse space and certain equipment under operating leases
that have initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year. Future minimum rental commitments are approximately:
October 2011 - September 2012
$
345,000
Rent
expense of approximately $505,000, $494,000, $336,000 and $376,000 are recorded in cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, and the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
9.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company grants credit to its customers who are primarily in the continental United States. The Company generally does not require collateral from their customers. The Company reviews
a customer's credit history before extending credit and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of a specific customer, historical trends, number
of days outstanding and other information.
The
Company had sales to one significant customer that represented approximately 15%, 13%, 13% and 14% of total sales for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, and the nine
months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Amounts due from this customer of approximately $154,000, $160,000 and $393,000 at December 31, 2009, December 31, 2010 and
September 30, 2011, respectively, are included in accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
At
December 31, 2009, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011 and at various times throughout these periods, the Company maintained cash balances with a financial
institution in excess of federally insured levels. This risk is mitigated by maintaining all deposits in sound financial institutions. All of the Company's borrowings are with one lender. The
liquidity position of the lender could impact the Company.

Major Supplier
The Company had purchases of raw materials from two vendors that represented approximately 22%, 32%, 23% and 24% of total cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2009 and
2010, and the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Amounts owed to these vendors of approximately $599,000, $967,000 and $1,382,000 at December 31, 2009,
December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, respectively, are included in accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
11.
Legal
In October 2009, the Company (the "Defendant") was a party to a lawsuit initiated by a former distributor (the "Plaintiff"). The lawsuit was tried before a jury resulting in judgments
being obtained by both the Plaintiff and Defendant. These judgments were then subsequently appealed by both parties and a series of motions were filed. On July 19, 2011, the Eighth Circuit
Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the Plaintiff in the amount of $861,275 and in favor of the Defendant in the amount of $183,341. The ruling of $861,275 was included in other current liabilities at
December 31, 2010.
Both
the Plaintiff and Defendant have filed motions seeking recovery of legal fees related to the lawsuit of approximately $2.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively. This
matter is pending before the court. Management, with the advice of legal counsel, is unable to estimate the ultimate outcome of this matter. A shareholder of the Company, owning substantially the
entire Class C member units, has agreed to contribute capital to the Company in the event the outcome of the dispute over legal fees is unfavorable to the Company. The shareholder will receive
no additional equity for this contribution. The Company has expensed all legal fees they have incurred to date on this matter and to the extent an unfavorable judgment is received and the Company is
required to reimburse Plaintiff legal fees the Company will record additional legal expense.
12.
Net Income (Loss) Per Unit
Net income (loss) per unit is presented by combining all classes of units. Basic net income (loss) per unit attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C member units
is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to members by the weighted-average number of member units outstanding during the period. In conjunction with the
recapitalization, all existing warrants were surrendered. At September 30, 2011, there were no warrants options or other potentially dilutive shares outstanding.
Prior
to the recapitalization that occurred on January 1, 2011, any outstanding warrants, if exercised, would have been anti-dilutive in the calculation of net loss
per member units.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, which consist of unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the nine months ended September 30, 2011, give effect to:
•
the Company's conversion to a subchapter C corporation prior to the effectiveness of this registration statement in
connection with the reorganization transaction described elsewhere in this prospectus;
•
The debt recapitalization, reorganization and acquisition of noncontrolling interest that was effective January 1,
2011;
as
if those transactions occurred on December 31, 2009.
The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements set out below should be read in conjunction with the sections of this prospectus entitled "Use of Proceeds,"
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and the corresponding notes as of and for the year
ended December 31, 2010 and the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements and the corresponding notes as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, included
elsewhere in this prospectus.
The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements set out below have been derived from the Company's historical consolidated financial statements included
elsewhere in this prospectus. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements appearing below are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates and are subject to
uncertainties, and do not purport to be indicative of the actual results of operations or financial condition that would have occurred had the transactions described above in fact occurred on the
dates indicated, nor do they purport to be indicative of future results of operations or financial condition that we may achieve in the future. The assumptions and estimates used and pro forma
adjustments derived from such assumptions are based on currently available information, and we believe such assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances.
The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations do not adjust for the following:
•
The operating expenses that we will incur as a result of the Company becoming a public reporting company upon consummation
of this offering, which we estimate to be approximately $         per year.
•
The payments of $83,250 to existing Class A members in conjunction with the reorganization to a subchapter C
corporation.

2011 operating results.
b.
This
adjustment reflects the elimination of the noncontrolling interest as a result of the recapitalization.

Item 14.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") grants a Delaware corporation the power to indemnify directors,
officers, employees, and agents under some circumstances, and mandates indemnification under certain limited circumstances. The DGCL permits a corporation to indemnify a director, officer, employee or
agent for expenses actually and reasonably incurred, as well as fines, judgments and amounts paid in settlement in the context of actions, suits or
proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than derivative actions) threatened, pending or completed against such person by reason of the fact that the person is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification
against expenses incurred by a director or officer of a corporation in connection with his or her defense in a proceeding against such person for actions in such capacity is mandatory to the extent
that such person has been successful on the merits.
The
DGCL also permits a corporation to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in a derivative action if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation. If, however, the director, officer, employee or agent is determined to be
liable to the corporation in such derivative suit, indemnification for expenses is not allowable, subject to limited exceptions where a court deems the award of expenses appropriate.
Under
the DGCL, a Delaware corporation is permitted to purchase liability insurance for its directors, officers, employees and agents, regardless of whether any such person is otherwise
eligible for indemnification by the corporation. The Company intends to maintain liability insurance policies covering its officers and directors against some liabilities, including certain
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that may be incurred by them. Advancement of expenses is also permitted by the DGCL for such persons, but a person receiving such advances
must repay those expenses if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification.
The
Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate") of Mountain Valley Spring Company provides for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as amended from time to
time. Under
II-1
Table of Contents
the
Certificate, any expansion of the protections afforded directors and officers by the DGCL will automatically extend to the Company's directors and officers, as the case may be. The Certificate
also provides that the Company may, by action of the board of directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Company with the same or lesser scope and effect as the permitted
indemnification of directors and officers.
Article VIII
of the Certificate provides for the indemnification of directors, officers, agents and employees for expenses incurred by them and judgments rendered against them in
any actions, suits or proceedings in relation to certain matters which such director, officer, agent or employee was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved
(including involvement as a witness). The Company is required to indemnify any such person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such person only if the commencement of such
proceeding (or part thereof) by any such person was authorized by the Company's Board of Directors. The Certificate also
requires the Company, to the fullest extent expressly authorized by the DGCL, to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in a legal proceeding prior to final disposition of the proceeding.
Under
the DGCL, a corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (regarding, among other things, the payment
of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions), or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Article VII of the
Certificate provides for such limitation of liability.
The
proposed form of Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Registration Statement provides for indemnification of directors and officers of the Company by the
underwriters against certain liabilities.
Item 15.    Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
In the three years preceding the filing of this registration statement, we issued the securities indicated below that were not
registered under the Securities Act.
Effective
January 1, 2011, the Operating Company underwent a recapitalization. Pursuant to the recapitalization, (1) creditors holding approximately $30 million in
notes payable from the Operating Company and related warrants to purchase units of the Operating Company agreed to convert the indebtedness into new Class C membership units and surrender the
warrants; (2) the former holders of Series A Preferred Units and related warrants to purchase additional units of the Operating Company agreed to convert their units to new
Class A membership units and surrender their warrants and (3) the former common membership unit holders agreed to convert their units to new Class B membership units. In
connection with the recapitalization, the members amended and restated the Operating Company's operating agreement.
On
the effective date of this offering, the Company will effect the Reorganization, which is described above under the section "Description of Capital Stock—Reorganization."
The
issuance of membership interests in connection with the recapitalization and the issuance of common stock in connection with the Reorganization, each as described above, were or will
be deemed exempt from registration under Section 4(2) or Regulation D of the Securities Act. All of the foregoing securities are deemed restricted securities for purposes of the
Securities Act. The recipients of securities in the above-described transactions represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for sale
in connection with any distribution thereof
II-2
Table of Contents
and
appropriate legends were affixed to the stock certificates and instruments issued in such transactions.
Item 16.    Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
See Exhibit Index following the signature page.
Item 17.    Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement,
certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)   For
the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration
statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registration pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be
deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2)   For
the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)   For
the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration
statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and
included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a
purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration
statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(4)   For
the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, in a primary offering
of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered
or sold to such purchaser by
II-3
Table of Contents
means
of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)  Any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)  Any
free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii)  The
portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided
by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv)  Any
other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
