Use of estimates
The preparation of 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, the disclosure of contingent assets, and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the audit period.

Taxes on Income
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS No. 109) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expense or benefit is based on the change in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.
Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
Stock - - based compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations and has adopted the disclosure-only alternate of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Options granted to consultants, independent representatives and other non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method as prescribed by SFAS No. 123.
Note B - - Development Stage Operations
The Company is authorized to issue 70,000,000 shares of common stock at $.001 par value, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock at $.001 par value.
Note C - - Segmented Information
Management has determined that, as of June 30, 2005, the Company operates in one dominant industry segment. Additional segment disclosure requirements will be evaluated as it expands its operations.
Note D - - Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Note E - - Going Concern
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has not commenced its planned principal operations and it has generated no revenues. The Company is currently seeking to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt or equity securities. If the financing does not provide sufficient capital, some of the shareholders of the Company have agreed to provide sufficient funds as a loan over the next twelve month period. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue be as a going concern.
Note F - - Year-end
The Company has adopted December 31, as its fiscal year end.
Note G - - Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consists of the following at June 30, 2005:
Equipment | $ 1,111 |

$ 40 |
Note H - - Income Taxes
For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company incurred net operating losses and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded.

Management's Discussion and Plan of Operation
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements about Nascent Wine Company, Inc.'s business, financial condition and prospects that reflect management's assumptions and beliefs based on information currently available. We can give no assurance that the expectations indicated by such forward-looking statements will be realized. If any of our management's assumptions should prove incorrect, or if any of the risks and uncertainties underlying such expectations should materialize, Nascent's actual results may differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements.
The key factors that are not within our control and that may have a direct bearing on operating results include, but are not limited to, acceptance of our services, our ability to expand our customer base, managements' ability to raise capital in the future, the retention of key employees and changes in the regulation of our industry.
There may be other risks and circumstances that management may be unable to predict. When used in this Quarterly Report, words such as, "believes," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "estimates"and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although there may be certain forward-looking statements not accompanied by such expressions.
Management's Discussion and Plan of Operation
We were incorporated on December 10, 2002. We are a startup and have not yet realized any revenues, while incurring $13,023 in total expenses. This resulted in a net loss of $13,023 since our inception, which is attributable to general and administrative expenses and depreciation expense. Our efforts, to date, have focused primarily on the development and implementation of our business plan. No development-related expenses have been or will be paid to our affiliates.
Since our incorporation, we have financed our operations through issuances of our common equity. On December 11, 2002, we paid for expenses in the amount of $492 with common stock in lieu of cash in the amount of 400,000 shares. On December 18, 2002, we issued 2,000,000 shares of our common stock to our founding shareholder in exchange for cash of $2,000. On December 31, 2002, we issued 1,100,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for fixed assets valued at $1,111 from Patrick Deparini, which include computer and office equipment. All shares were issued to Mr. Deparini, our sole officer, director, employee and shareholder. Additionally, on November 3, 2004, our officer and director contributed cash in the amount of $10,000, which is considered additional paid-in capital.
Our sole officer and director believes that our cash on hand as of June 30, 2005 in the amount of $540 is insufficient to maintain our current level of operations for the next approximately 12 months. As a result, we have registered up to 2,500,000 shares of our common stock to be sold at a price of $0.03 per share for aggregate proceeds of $75,000. In the event we raise at least the minimum of $24,000 being sought in this offering, we expect to be able to continue our business for at least the next 12 months. It is hoped that we will begin to generate revenues within the first nine months after raising the minimum offering proceeds. Our ability to commence operations is entirely dependent upon the proceeds to be raised in this offering. Depending on the outcome of this offering we plan to choose one of the following courses:
Plan 1: Minimum offering. If we raise only the minimum of $24,000 in this offering, we will immediately begin to research wineries we believe are small boutique wineries without representation in the State of Nevada. This entails, without limitation, reading trade publications, scouring the Internet and contacting individuals in the wine industry. In order to execute this activity, we plan to use approximately $500 to $1,000 of the $3,150 allocated toward working capital. The remainder will be held in reserve to cover any unforeseen costs and opportunities.
-10-
Our management believes that to generate market awareness of our company and mission, we must initiate and foster relationships throughout the industry. We will thus allocate $9,000 from the minimum offering toward sales and marketing efforts. Our sales and marketing efforts are expected to include, without limitation, publication of literature and materials regarding our purpose, as well as travel to visit with winery owners and winemakers, as well as retail customers, to market our services and products.
Office supplies are expected to be $1,000 and consist of packing materials, protective bottle and glass carriers, as well as miscellaneous supplies.
We have budgeted $1,000 for office equipment and furniture, which is expected to consist of a desk, office chair and storage cabinet.
We believe we will be able to execute our business plan adequately and operate as a going concern if the minimum proceeds of this offering are realized. We do not, however, expect to generate revenue in the first six to 12 months of operations from the date the first funds are received from escrow.
Plan 2: 75% of the maximum offering. In the event we raise 75% of the maximum offering, our management will supplement our activities addressed in Plan 1, which is delineated above. We do not believe we will generate revenues in the first six to 12 months of operation from the date the first funds are received from escrow. We expect to continue to act as a wine broker and boost our brand image and increase our presence in the market by comparatively allocating greater resources to sales and marketing efforts, in the amount of $18,000.
Although working capital increases under this scenario to $11,400, we do not anticipate that the costs of researching our specific target clients will increase materially. Thus, the difference will be held in reserve for potential unanticipated expenses and/or opportunities. In the event sufficient sales are not generated in the first six to 12 months, our growth could be slower than anticipated.
Under this scenario, we plan to employ a sales representative. This representative will be paid a base salary of $12,000 and will earn commissions on each sale.
We intend to increase our allocation toward office supplies, which, as stated in Plan 1, consists of packing materials, protective bottle and glass carriers, as well as miscellaneous supplies. We do not believe these expenditures will increase over the $1,000 we budgeted for given a minimum offering. The increase in the amount we allotted is to be held in reserve to meet any unexpected increase in these expenditures.
Additionally, we have increased our budget for office equipment and furniture to $3,000. However, we do not believe these expenditures will increase materially over the $1,000 we budgeted for given a minimum offering. The increase in the amount we allotted is to be held in reserve to meet any unexpected increase in these expenditures.
Plan 3: Maximum offering. In the event we raise the maximum of $75,000, we do not expect to generate revenue in the first six to 12 months of operation from the date the first funds are received from escrow. Under Plan 3, management will supplement the activities addressed in Plan 2, delineated above. Working capital increases to $15,150, although we continue to believe that the costs of researching our specific target clients will not increase. Thus, the difference will again be held in reserve for potential unanticipated expenses and/or opportunities.
We expect to continue to act as a wine broker and boost our brand image and increase our presence in the market by comparatively allocating greater resources to sales and marketing efforts, in the amount of $21,000.
-11-
In addition, if the maximum proceeds are raised in this offering, we plan to seek a salaried sales representative. This representative will be paid a base salary of $24,000 and will earn commissions on each sale. This funding level should be more than sufficient to fully execute our business plan and growth strategy. However, there is no guarantee that we will earn any revenues to support our operations.
Regardless of the ultimate outcome and subsequent plan to be implemented, we have budgeted for certain expenditures that we expect to remain constant. We expect accounting fees to be $4,800 for the full year 2005, which includes reviewed financial statements for quarterly reports and audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. All statements are to be filed in applicable periodic reports with the SEC in accordance with Item 310 of Regulation S-B. Legal and professional fees are expected to aggregate $2,250, and are expected to consist mainly of legal fees, as well as ongoing Edgar conversion costs and various other professional services performed in relation to the anticipated ongoing reporting requirements of a public reporting company. All use of proceeds figures represent our management's best estimates and are not expecte d to vary significantly.
Our ability to commence operations is entirely dependent upon the proceeds to be raised in the offering described heretofore. If we do not raise at least the minimum offering amount of $24,000, we will be unable to establish a base of operations, without which we will be unable to begin to generate any revenues. The realization of sales revenues in the next 12 months is important for our plan of operations. However, we cannot guarantee that we will generate such growth. If we do not produce sufficient cash flow to support our operations over the next 12 months, we may need to raise additional capital by issuing capital stock in exchange for cash in order to continue as a going concern. There are no formal or informal agreements to attain such financing. We can not assure you that any financing can be obtained or, if obtained, that it wi ll be on reasonable terms. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for us to stay in business.
We have not commenced our planned principal operations. Presently, we are attempting to foster relationships with suppliers and retailers. Our goal is to foster brokerage relationships with at least 10 wineries in the next 12 months. No agreements have been entered into or formalized regarding the distribution of wine between suppliers and retailers. We cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into any relationships with suppliers or that retailers will purchase products from the wineries we may represent.
Our goal is to bring access to regional boutique wines to consumers in Nevada. Below is an illustration of the elements of our business plan that constitute top priorities. Each material event or milestone listed below will be required until revenues are generated.
1.
Researching and strategically targeting specific wineries that we care able to market our services to. We expect to use a portion of the funds allocated toward working capital to engage in this activity.
2.
Establish relationships with wineries producing less than approximately 10,000 cases of wine per year through visits with winery owners and winemakers. Part of the funds set aside for sales and marketing activities are expected to be utilized.
3.
Establish relationships with distributors in Nevada to import and deliver the wines we expect to represent. Our sales and marketing budget is expected to employ for the advancement of this milestone.
Our management does not expect to incur research and development costs.
We currently do not own any significant plant or equipment that we would seek to sell in the near future.
We have not paid for expenses on behalf of our director. Additionally, we believe that this fact shall not materially change.
We have no plans to seek a business combination with another entity in the foreseeable future.
-12-
Our management does not anticipate the need to hire additional employees over the next 12 months. Currently, we believe the services provided by our officer and director appears sufficient at this time. We believe that our operations are currently on a small scale that is manageable by one individual. However, in the event 75% of the maximum offering is achieved, as delineated above, we plan to employ a sales representative for a base salary and the ability to earn commissions on sales. In the event the minimum offering is raised, we intend to contract sales representatives on an independent contractor basis. Thus, unless 75% of the maximum offering proceeds are realized, sales representatives are not intended to be employees of our company. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract sal es representatives on either an independent or salaried basis.
Controls and Procedures
Within 90 days prior to the date of filing of this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our sole officer and director, who serves as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our sole officer and director, acting as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective for the gathering, analyzing and disclosing the information we are required to disclose in the reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of this evaluation.
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors or all instances of fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mi stake. Because of the inherent limitation of a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
