Heckmann Corporation (NYSE: HEK) is a special purpose acquisition company that was created to acquire or make investments in attractive businesses. On October 30, 2008 we completed our first investment, the acquisition of China Water & Drinks, Inc., a leading bottled water company operating in the People's Republic of China.
We have a strong balance sheet and seek additional acquisition opportunities as we build a worldwide enterprise. As of March 31, 2009, we had $300 million dollars in invested cash and cash equivalents. We intend to make additional investments and acquisitions as we find attractive long-term opportunities for our stockholders.
