NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2006
(Unaudited)
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Results for the three months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2007. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Atlantic Wine Agencies, Inc., formerly New England Acquisitions, Inc., annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2006.
NOTE B - GOING CONCERN
As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has an Accumulated deficit of $6,346,709. Management’s plans include the raising of capital through the equity markets to fund future operations and the generating of revenue through its business. Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate sales revenues could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations. Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses and generate adequate revenues, there can be no assurances that the revenue will be sufficient to enable it to develop business to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE C - DUE PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the principal stockholders did not advance funds for working capital.
NOTE D- ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company has provided a $75,600 allowance for bad debts for accounts receivable determined to be uncollectible.
NOTE E - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On October 13, 2006, Atlantic Wine Agencies, Inc. entered into an agreement with Auction Alliance, the South African auction firm, to sell its Myrtle Grove Property and Estates, subject to the minimum reserve being met. Assets including land, vineyards, winery equipment and stock will be included in the auction sale. Management has concluded that (i) after expending considerable resources and efforts in developing its business and building world class wine brands from South Africa, significantly more capital is necessary to further grow the business which the

NOTE E - SUBSEQUENT EVENT (CONTINUED)
Company is unable to procure on commercially acceptable terms, The ZAR (South African Rand) has shown considerable volatility related to uncertainty regarding future political situation. The best time to maximize our South African property and operations is by selling through the public auction process locally in South Africa prior to the growing season in the southern hemisphere. We anticipate the auction to be held November 24, 2006 and the sale to close within 60 days of that date. When the sale has been completed, we will seek to sue the proceeds from such sales, after satisfying our current liabilities, to develop or acquire a business or businesses which will we believe will best serve the long term interests of our shareholders. Such businesses may or may not be related to the wine industry.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
On October 13, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Auction Alliance, a South African auction firm, to sell our Myrtle Grove Property and Estates, subject to the minimum reserve being met. Assets including land, vineyards, winery equipment and stock will be included in the auction sale. Our management has concluded that (i) after expending considerable resources and efforts in developing our business and building world class wine brands from South Africa, significantly more capital is necessary to further grow the business which are unable to procure on commercially acceptable terms, (ii) The ZAR (South African Rand) has shown considerable volatility related to uncertainty regarding future political situation and (iii) the best time to maximize our South African property and operations is by selling through the public auction process locally in South Africa prior to the growing season in the southern hemisphere. We anticipate the auction to be held on November 24, 2006 and the sale to close within 60 days of that date. When the sale has been completed, we will seek to use the proceeds from such sale, after satisfying our current liabilities, to develop or acquire a business or businesses which we believe will best serve the long term interests of our shareholders. Such businesses may or may not be related to the wine industry.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our revenues from the previous 3-month period ending September 30, 2006 decreased from $237,058 to $44,640.
Operating costs for the three-months ended September 30, 2006 aggregated $187,091 or $(0.01) per share as compared to $679,499 or $(0.01) per share for the year ended September 30, 2005.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 net cash used to fund operating activities aggregated $(161,047), net cash utilized by investing activities aggregated $191,316 and net cash provided by financing activities aggregated $(101,795).
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, income taxes and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity." This standard requires that certain financial instruments embodying an obligation to transfer assets or to issue equity securities be classified as liabilities. It is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is generally effective July 1, 2003. This standard had no impact on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an Amendment to FASB Statement No. 123." SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods for transition to SFAS No. 123's fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. As amended by SFAS No. 148, SFAS No. 123 also requires additional disclosure regarding stock-based compensation in annual and condensed interim financial statements. The new disclosure requirements became effective immediately.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this quarterly report and has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are adequate.
(b) There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
