This Form 8-K and other reports filed by the Registrant from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively the “Filings”) contain forward looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Registrant’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by the Registrant’s management. When used in the Filings the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “future”, “intend”, “plan” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Registrant or the Registrant’s management identify forward looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Registrant with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors relating to the Registrant’s industry, operations and results of operations and any businesses that may be acquired by the Registrant. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.


Although Registrant believes that the expectations reflected in the forward looking statements are reasonable, Registrant cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, Registrant does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Registrant's pro forma financial statements and the related notes that will be filed by Registrant within 60 days, as described in Item 7 below.


Item 1.     Changes in Control of Registrant.


Overview of the Transaction


The information below is a summary description of the Exchange Agreement  (as defined below) and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Exchange Agreement, including all annexes, exhibits and schedules attached thereto, and any related documents that the Registrant has filed as exhibits to this Report.

The Exchange Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of the exchange by Teda Florida of its common shares of Teda BVI, representing all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Teda BVI, in exchange for the issuance by Registrant to Teda Florida and certain financial advisors of an aggregate of 19,714,715 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Acola Common Stock”), of Registrant (the “Transaction”). The closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”) occurred on March 12, 2004 (the “Closing Date”).
