Staff Comment Letters

Form 10-KSB for the Year Ended June 30, 2008

Filed October 14, 2008

File No. 333-123176

Dear Mr. McAllister:

On behalf of Marani Brands, Inc., we provide the following responses to the comments submitted to the Company by the staff of the Commission in letters dated February 19, 2009 and March 4, 2009, relating to the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2008. Our responses are keyed to the numbering of the comments in the staff’s two comment letters, and appear below following the comments, with additional references to the pages of the Company’s amended Form 10-KSB.

We have attached to this letter a marked proposed amended Form 10-KSB (Amendment No. 1) for the Year Ended June 30, 2008, that contains the changes made to our original filing, to which we make specific reference in response to staff’s comments. Changes made to our Balance Sheet, Statements of Operations, Statements of Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) and Statements of Cash Flows appear on pages F-18 through F-22 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

February 19, 2009 Letter

Item 7 Financial Statements, page 18

We note the Margrit Enterprises International, Inc. (MEI) shareholders obtained control by receiving 10 Marani shares for every MEI share exchanged. Please tell us why you accounted for the merger between Fit for Business, Inc. (FFBI) and MEI by applying the purchase method of accounting, as it appears to us that the transaction represented a reverse merger. If after further consideration you determine you should apply reverse merger accounting rather than purchase method accounting, please revise your financial statements to reflect the following:

The continuing enterprise. should be the historical financial statements of MEI, the operating entity and accounting acquirer;

Assets and liabilities of the accounting acquire; FFBI, are recorded on the accounting acquirer's balance sheet at historical cost without recording goodwill or other intangible assets;

The consolidated statement of equity of the continuing enterprise will reflect the accounts of the accounting acquirer, MEI, and all shares issued by the accounting acquiree, FFBI, to effect the reverse recapitalization;

The negative equity of the accounting acquiree, if any, should be charged directly to retained earnings;

Transaction costs associated with the reverse recapitalization are recorded as a charge to retained earnings to the extent of cash held by FFBI prior to the merger and any excess cost is charged to operations. We refer you to common stock issued for direct offering services presented in your statement of shareholders' equity. And;

For the purpose of computing earnings per share, the number of outstanding shares for the period from the beginning of the fiscal year to the date of the merger should be the number of shares issued by the accounting acquiree to the accounting acquirer. This number of shares also serves as the starting point for calculating weighted average shares outstanding post merger.

RESPONSE:

After further consideration we have determined we should apply reverse merger accounting rather than purchase method accounting, and we have revised our financial statements to reflect that change in accounting. Consistent with this revised accounting analysis, we have made the following changes:

Item 1 Description of Business Page 5

We have prepared a pro forma set of restated financials as part of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements that specify each adjustment made as set forth above, which appear on pages F-18 to F-22 of the Notes of the proposed amended Form 10-KSB.

Please also revise and expand your footnotes and management's discussion and analysis to highlight relevant aspects of the reverse merger transaction as reflected in the consolidated financial statements, including:

Clarification of both the legal and accounting form of the transaction;

Explain how the historical financial statements are a continuation of MEI, the accounting acquirer and not FFBI, the accounting acquiree;

Explain the capital structure of the consolidated enterprise is that of the accounting acquirer and it is now different from the structure appearing in historical financial statements of the accounting acquiree due to reverse recapitalization accounting

RESPONSE

We have revised and expanded our notes and management's discussion and analysis in accordance with staff’s comments. The revised sections of our notes appear on pages F-6 (Note 1, Merger), F-7 (Note 3, Recapitalization), F-12 – F-13 (Note 4, Merger), F-16 (Note 12, Direct Offering Costs) and F- 17 (Note 15, Restatement) of the proposed amended Form 10-KSB. The revised sections of management’s discussion and analysis appear on pages 13 to 19 of the proposed amended Form 10-KSB.

Note 4 – Merger, page F-11

Please tell us how the 15.12 million common shares and warrants, issued to investors in connection with the merger, are accounted for and presented in the statement of shareholders' equity and tables in Note 11. Please provide the applicable accounting guidance to support your conclusions

RESPONSE

Any implication in Note 4 that the issuance of 15.12 million shares was connected to the merger transaction is inadvertent. The 15.12 million shares were issued separate and apart from the merger transaction and are part of the 25,930,000 shares disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) in the line item “Common Stock Issued to Investors for Cash.” To avoid any confusion, however, the Note 4 paragraph in question has been eliminated in Note 4 of the proposed amended Form 10-KSB on pages F-12 and F-13.

Item 8A(T). Controls and Procedures. page 19

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures, page 19

We note that you conducted an evaluation of your disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2008. Please revise to disclose the conclusions of your principal executive and principal financial officers regarding the effectiveness of your disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the report. See Item 307 of Regulation S-B.

It appears that management has not conducted an evaluation nor provided an assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008. We believe that the surviving entity in a reverse merger succeeds to the Exchange Act reporting history of the legal acquirer in the transaction. Therefore, because the legal acquirer was required to file or filed an annual report for the prior fiscal year, it appears you are required to report on your management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting. Please tell us why you did not include management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, including an explanation of the following factors:

The timing of the transaction;

The magnitude of integration or changes in internal control over financial reporting as a result of the transaction; and

The significance of the issuer or legal acquirer's assets; liabilities, and operations to the consolidated financial statements included in your annual report.

RESPONSE TO COMMENTS 4 and 5

The use of the wrong date of our evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures and our assessment of internal control over financial reporting was inadvertent. We in fact did conduct an evaluation as of June 30, 2008, and have incorporated the appropriate disclosure in our proposed amended Form 10-KSB on page 20 to correct that mistake.

March 4, 2009 Letter

Exhibits, page 25

Please file the Exclusive Distribution Agreement as an exhibit. We also note the letter of intent. Please tell us why you have not filed the letter of intent.

RESPONSE

The Exclusive Distribution Agreement was filed as an exhibit to out Form 8-K, which we filed with the Commission on April 14, 2008. We will file an amendment to the Exclusive Distribution Agreement and the Letter of Intent as exhibits to our amended Form 10-KSB as Exhibits 10.6 and 10.7, respectively. The Exclusive Distribution Agreement is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 10.5.

Signatures, page 26

Please include the signature of your controller or principal accounting officer as required by Form 10-KSB. See Instruction C(2) to Form 10-KSB. If your Controller or Principal Accounting Officer has signed the Form 10-KSB, but the signature page does not indicate that the person signing occupies that position, then please confirm that your Controller or Principal Accounting Officer has signed the form and that in future filings you will indicate each capacity in which the officers are signing the report.

In response to the staff’s request, the Company acknowledges that:

•

the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filings

•

staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filings; and

Description of Business

Formation and Merger and Acquisition

The Company was incorporated in Nevada on May 30, 2001, under the name Elli Tsab, Inc., which was subsequently changed to Patient Data Corporation, and thereafter to Fit for Business, Inc. On March 10, 2008, the Company changed its name from Fit for Business, Inc. to Marani Brands, Inc. On March 31, 2008, our common stock underwent a 1-for-250 reverse stock split, and commenced trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the new symbol “MRIB”. The only business of the Company on March 31, 2008 was that of its wholly owned subsidiary, Fit For Business (Australia) Pty Limited.

On March 11, 2008, the Company formed FFBI Merger Sub Corp., a California corporation, as its wholly-owned subsidiary. FFBI Merger Sub Corp. was formed by the Company for purpose of effectuating a merger transaction by and among the Company and FFBI Merger Sub Corp., on the one hand, and a California corporation known as Margrit Enterprises International, Inc. “(MEI”), on the other hand.

MEI was incorporated in December 2001 and, since its inception, has been an ongoing business engaged in the in the importation and sale of alcoholic beverage products, primarily Marani® Vodka, its flagship product.

On April 4, 2008, the Company, FFBI Merger Sub Corp. and MEI executed, and on April 7, 2008 the parties closed, a three party Merger Agreement, which the parties implemented follows:

Merger of FFBI Merger Sub Corp. and MEI

• By virtue of this statutory merger, the separate corporate existence of FFBI Merger Sub Corp. ceased, with MEI remaining as the surviving corporation.

• The shares of FFBI Merger Sub Corp. held by the Company pre merger were converted into the shares of MEI and, post merger, the conversion shares remain outstanding and continue to be held by the Company as shares of MEI

• Since MEI was a company with an ongoing business, and since FFBI Merger Sub Corp. had no business operations and ceased to exist as a separate corporate entity, this merger transaction constituted a “forward merger”

Merger MEI and Marani Brands, Inc.

• By virtue of this “subsidiary merger,” both companies continue to have a separate existence, with MEI becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

• Each share of MEI held by its stockholders pre merger was automatically exchanged for that number of shares of the Company, determined by dividing 100,0000,000 by the 10,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of MEI existing before either merger, effecting a 10 for 1 exchange ratio

• On April 7, 2008, the Company issued 100,000,000 shares of its common stock to the pre merger stockholders of MEI, and the 10,0000,000 shares of MEI held by MEI’s stockholders pre merger were cancelled

• The Company thereby holds 100% of the shares of MEI by virtue of (i) the cancellation of the MEI shares held pre subsidiary merger by MEI stockholders that were exchanged for 100,000,000 of the Company’s shares and (ii) the MEI shares that were converted from FFBI Merger Sub Corp. shares held by the Company pre forward merger, which remain outstanding and continue to be held by the Company, as the total issued and outstanding shares of MEI, post merger

• Since MEI operated an ongoing business and since the Company had pre merger business operations that were not pursued by the Company post merger, this subsidiary merger transaction constituted a “reverse merger”

The acquisition of MEI by the Company was completed by the merger of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, FFBI Merger Sub Corp. with and into MEI, with MEI remaining as the surviving entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The net effect of these transactions was a reverse merger of the Company with MEI. MEI subsequently changed its name to Marani Spirits, Inc., and continues to be the operational arm of the Company.

On March 31, 2008, in anticipation of the merger transaction, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase its authorized shares of common stock to 300,000,000. On April 7, 2008, in connection with the merger, we issued an aggregate of 43,138,825 shares of our common stock as compensation for direct offering services.

On April 7, 2008, after management decided that the business of FFB Australia could not be effectively managed from the United States, and was no longer related to the Company’s core business, the Company exercised its option to sell FFB Australia to former Chief Executive Officer, Mark Poulsen. Mr. Poulsen complied with his obligations under the Subsidiary Acquisition Option Agreement and acquired all of the Company’s interest in FFB Australia on or about May 15, 2008.

Our Business and Products

Prior to the Company’s acquisition of MEI, our only business was that of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fit for Business (Australia) Pty Limited, which is engaged in the development of overall wellness programs for the workplace in Australia.

Subsequent to the merger transaction with MEI, the Company’s primary business is the business of MEI in the distribution of wine and spirit products manufactured in Armenia. In the future the Company may add alcohol beverage products manufactured in other countries

The Company’s signature product is Marani Vodka, a premium vodka which is manufactured exclusively for us in Armenia. Marani Vodka is made from winter wheat harvested in Armenia, distilled three times, aged in oak barrels lined with honey and skimmed dried milk, then filtered twenty-five times. Bottling of the product occurs at the Eraskh distillery in Armenia. Marani Vodka was awarded the gold medal in the International Spirit Competition, held in San Francisco, California, in both 2004 and 2007, and the 5 Diamond Award by the American Academy of Hospitality and Sciences in March 2008.

In addition to the Company’s premium vodka, in the future we intend to distribute the following products:

Various premium brandy products manufactured by Eraskh.

A line of sweet dessert wines manufactured by Eraskh.

Marani Black, a super-premium vodka. This product has an even more refined distillation formula and will be bottled in a distinct bottle and command a premium retail price.

To compete in the highly competitive market for premium alcoholic beverages, Marani Brand’s marketing and business plan is focused on maintaining and expanding its channels of distribution and enhancing brand recognition for Marani Brand’s premium vodka product through its recent rebranding, advertising, promotional and distributor relations efforts. Some of these efforts include:

The engagement of Paul Fuegner, formerly of Skyy Vodka, to head our marketing efforts

The engagement of Juggernaut Advertising Agency

The engagement of surveying firms to obtain data on product placement

Major redesign and rebranding of Marani Vodka, including a new bottle

Major redesign of the company’s web presence

Primary production and preparation for the upcoming launch of a new advertising campaign

An effort to trademark the Marani name worldwide

These efforts have incurred significant expense, but management believes that they are necessary to the continued growth of the Company.

Sources and Availability of Products and supplies

The Company purchases all of its products from a single supplier, Eraskh Winery, Ltd., under an Exclusive Distribution Agreement with Eraskh, an Armenian manufacturer of wine and other spirits. Marani Brands have been granted exclusive rights for defined territories, including the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean, with a right of first refusal for any other territories where Eraskh desires to promote and sell its products. The Exclusive Distribution Agreement, which was renewed this year, will expire in 2012 but is subject to automatic five (5) year renewals. Upon termination or non-renewal of the Exclusive Distribution Agreement, the Agreement provides for compensation from Eraskh equal to ten percent (10%) of the gross sales of Eraskh’s products in the defined territories, in U.S. dollars, for period of seven (7) years subsequent to such termination or non-renewal. While the Company has entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire Eraskh, there can be no assurance that we will enter into a definitive agreement to acquire the distillery as contemplated or that the distillery will be acquired.

The bottles for Marani Vodka are currently manufactured in China by Universal Group Co., Ltd. and shipped to Armenia to be filled at Eraskh. Other suppliers of bottles are available to the Company at competitive market rates, should we need additional quantities or should our arrangement with Universal Group Co., Ltd. no longer be available.

Distribution and Dependence on Limited Customers

The Company is a client of Southern Wine & Spirits of America, Inc. ("Southern"), the largest alcoholic beverage distributor in the United States. Through Southern, the Company’s Marani Vodka is in retailers such as Ralphs, Safeway, Vons, Pavilions, and Dominicks, and in Southern California locations such as Ritz-Carlton Hotels, Marriott Hotels, Spago Restaurants and Lawry's Restaurants. We intend to enter into arrangements with other distributors to maximize its coverage in the United States. The Company also is in the process of identifying appropriate distributors of Marani Vodka in Italy, Switzerland, Monaco, Germany, Mexico, the Middle East and parts of Asia.

The Company currently sells its products principally to wholesalers for resale to retail outlets including grocery stores, package liquor stores, chain and boutique hotels, bars and restaurants. In the future, in addition to selling our products to wholesalers, we may sell our products directly to major retailers and chains. Our results of operations and financial condition are dependent on the performance of our major wholesalers, retailers or chains and our inability to collect accounts receivable from a limited number of them. We monitor performance and collections to determine the need, if any, to seek other customers for existing levels of product production.

Competition and Trends

The Company is in a highly competitive industry with the need continually to monitor factors such as: the dollar amount and unit volume of our sales as affected by our ability to maintain or increase prices; changes in geographic or product mix; and changes in alcoholic beverage consumption or the decision of wholesalers, retailers or consumers to purchase competitive products. Wholesaler, retailer and consumer purchasing decisions are influenced by, among other things, the perceived absolute or relative overall value of our products, including their quality or pricing, compared to competitive products. Unit volume and dollar sales can be affected by pricing, purchasing, financing, operational, advertising or promotional decisions made by wholesalers, state and provincial agencies, and retailers which can affect their supply of, or consumer demand for, our products.

In spirits, the major global competitors are Diageo, Pernod Ricard, Bacardi and Brown-Forman, each of which has many brands in many market segments, including vodka, which give them the ability to leverage their marketing relationship. In addition, the Company faces competition from local and regional companies in the United States and world-wide. Nearly all of the Company’s significant competitors have greater market presence, marketing capabilities as well as greater financial, technological and personnel resources than the Company.

As outlined above, the Company has engaged in a systematic marketing plan in order to expand our distribution channels and brand recognition. These efforts include significant advertising and distributor relations initiatives anticipated to begin during the next quarter.

The beverage alcohol distribution industry is being affected by the trend toward consolidation in the wholesale and retail distribution channels, particularly in Europe and the U.S. Our revenues, share of sales and volume growth is dependent partially upon our continuing adaptation to this changing environment. In addition, wholesalers and retailers of our products offer products of other companies that compete directly with our products for retail shelf space and consumer purchases.

Since 1995, there have been modest increases in consumption of beverage alcohol in most geographic markets. A change in consumption in one or more of our product categories could occur in the future due to a variety of factors, including:

A general decline in economic conditions;

Increased concern about the health consequences of consuming beverage alcohol products and about drinking and driving;

A general decline in the consumption of beverage alcohol products in on-premise establishments;

A trend toward a healthier diet including lighter, lower calorie beverages such as diet soft drinks, juices, energy and vitamin drinks and water products;

The increased activity of anti-alcohol groups; and

Increased federal, state or foreign excise or other taxes on alcoholic beverages.

Taxes and Governmental Regulation

The U.S. and certain other countries in which the Company operates impose excise and other taxes on beverage alcohol products in varying amounts that are subject to change. In addition, federal, state, local and foreign governmental agencies extensively regulate the alcoholic beverage industry concerning such matters as licensing, trade and pricing practices, permitted and required labeling, advertising and relations with wholesalers and retailers. Certain federal, state and foreign regulations also require warning labels and disclosures. Management believes the Company is in compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements for our products where we current have sales.

Trademarks

The Company’s presence in the marketplace depends on our ability to protect our current brand and future brands and products, to the extent developed, and to defend our intellectual property rights. We have registered the trademark Marani® in the United States for distilled spirits and brandy and we have filed trademark applications seeking to protect the Marani trademark in certain countries outside the United States. We are aware that a third-party that markets and sells wine products has trademarked the Marani name in numerous countries outside of the United States and has registered the name Marani in a number of countries. We are in the process of negotiating an agreement with that third party which would, if entered into, allow to each company to use the Marani trademark in connection with its respective products on a world-wide basis.

Employees

The Company currently employs nine full time employees at our North Hollywood location; four employees are in management positions, including sales with one in an administrative staff position, three employees in sales and one performing warehouse and shipping duties.

Item 2. Description of Property

The Company leases 2100 sq ft of corporate office space in North Hollywood, California. This lease is currently on a month-to-month basis at a monthly rental of $1,800 per month.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Our former subsidiary, Fit For Business (Australia) Pty. Ltd. is plaintiff in legal proceedings against one of our licensees, L.R. Global Marketing Pty. Ltd, for outstanding licensing fees owed in the amount of $443,263. The subsidiary was recently sold, as detailed in Item 1 above, and to the knowledge of management, Marani Brands has no further interests or liabilities stemming from this proceeding as of the time of this filing.

Other than this claim, neither our parent company nor our subsidiary, or any of their properties, is a party to any pending legal proceeding. We are not aware of any contemplated proceeding by a governmental authority. Also, we do not believe that any director, officer, or affiliate, any owner of record or beneficially of more than five per cent (5%) of the outstanding common stock, or security holder, is a party to any proceeding in which he or she is a part adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to Vote of Securities Holders

None

Dividends

The Company has not paid dividends on our common stock and do not presently anticipate paying dividends. Management currently intends to retain future earnings, if any, to finance working capital and to expand our operations.

The holders of common stock are entitled to receive, pro rata, such dividends and other distributions as and when declared by our board of directors out of the assets and funds legally available therefore. The Company do not expect to pay dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On April 4, 2008, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among FFBI Merger Sub Corp., a California corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary which we formed for purposes of the merger (the "Merger Sub"), and Margrit Enterprises International, Inc., a California corporation ("MEI").

Options to be Issued Pursuant to our 2008 Stock of Plan

On May 21, 2008, our Board of Directors adopted our 2008 Stock Option Plan, which is designed to provide an incentive to employees, including directors and officers who are employees, and to consultants and directors who are not our employees, and to offer an additional inducement in obtaining the services of such persons. The Plan provides for the grant of qualified Incentive Stock Options (”ISO”) within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and Non-Qualified Stock Options (“NQSO”). As of June 30, 2008, no equity has been issued pursuant to this Plan.

We have reserved 20,000,000 million shares of common stock for equity awards granted under the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors (the “Plan Administrator”) consisting of not less than two directors, all of whom shall be a “non-employee director,” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that shall have the authority to determine the employees, officers, consultants and directors who shall be granted equity awards; the type of equity awards to be granted; the times when an equity awards shall be granted; the number of shares of our common stock to be subject to each equity awards; and other terms and conditions of the equity awards, including whether to restrict the sale or other disposition of an equity awards and, if so, to determine whether such contingencies and restrictions have been met and whether and under what conditions to waive any such contingency or restriction.

Eligibility

Our officers, directors, employees, and other persons that provide consulting services to us and our subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Plan.

Award of Incentive Stock Options

The Plan Administrator may grant Incentive Stock Options to eligible participants, as the Plan Administrator may determine, in its sole discretion. The Plan Administrator may not grant options to any employee during any calendar year under the Plan for the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the option is granted) of the underlying shares of common stock that may be exercised for the first time in a particular calendar in excess of $100,000. Exercise prices for such options granted shall be at least the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the grant date of the options, with a term not to exceed 10 years; provided, that exercise price of any options granted to a person that owns more than 10% of the combined voting power of all our classes of stock shall be at least 110% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the grant date, with a term not to exceed five years.

Amendment of Plan

The Board of Directors, without further approval of the our stockholders, may amend the Plan from time to time in such respects as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, in order that ISOs granted meet the requirements for “incentive stock options” under the Code or any change in applicable law, regulations, rulings or interpretations of any governmental agency or regulatory body. No amendment shall be effective without the requisite prior or subsequent stockholder approval which would, with certain exceptions, increase the maximum number of shares of our common stock for which equity awards can be granted under the Plan, change the eligibility requirements to receive equity awards, or make any change for which applicable law, regulation, ruling or interpretation by the applicable governmental agency or regulatory authority requires stockholder approval. No termination, suspension or amendment of the Plan shall adversely affect the rights of any equity awards holder under an equity awards without his prior consent.

Termination

No awards may be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the adoption of the Plan. The Board of Directors may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No termination of the Plan will affect a recipient’s rights under outstanding awards without the recipient’s consent.

Federal Income Tax Aspects of the Plan

The following is a brief summary of the federal income tax aspects of awards that may be made under the Plan based on existing U.S. federal income tax laws. This summary provides only the basic tax rules and does not describe a number of special tax rules, including the alternative minimum tax and various elections that may be applicable under certain circumstances. It also does not reflect provisions of the income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country in which a holder may reside, nor does it reflect the tax consequences of a holder’s death. The tax consequences of awards under the Plan depend upon the type of award and if the award is to an executive officer, whether the award qualifies as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

Incentive Stock Options

The recipient of an incentive stock option generally will not be taxed upon grant of the option. Federal income taxes are generally imposed only when the shares of stock from exercised incentive stock options are disposed of, by sale or otherwise. The amount by which the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise exceeds the exercise price is, however, included in determining the option recipient’s liability for the alternative minimum tax. If the incentive stock option recipient does not sell or dispose of the stock until more than one year after the receipt of the stock and two years after the option was granted, then, upon sale or disposition of the stock, the difference between the exercise price and the market value of the stock as of the date of exercise will be treated as a capital gain, and not ordinary income. If a recipient fails to hold the stock for the minimum required time, at the time of the disposition of the stock, the recipient will recognize ordinary income in the year of disposition generally in an amount equal to any excess of the market value of the common stock on the date of exercise (or, if less, the amount realized or disposition of the shares) over the exercise price paid for the shares. Any further gain (or loss) realized by the recipient generally will be taxed as short-term or long-term gain (or loss) depending on the holding period. We will generally be entitled to a tax deduction at the same time and in the same amount as ordinary income is recognized by the option recipient.

Nonqualified Stock Options

The recipient of stock options not qualifying as incentive stock options generally will not be taxed upon the grant of the option. Federal income taxes are generally due from a recipient of nonqualified stock options when the stock options are exercised. The difference between the exercise price of the option and the fair market value of the stock purchased on such date is taxed as ordinary income. Thereafter, the tax basis for the acquired stock is equal to the amount paid for the stock plus the amount of ordinary income recognized by the recipient. We will generally be entitled to a tax deduction at the same time and in the same amount as ordinary income is recognized by the option recipient by reason of the exercise of the option.

Section 162(m)

Section 162(m) of the Code would render non-deductible to us certain compensation in excess of $1,000,000 received in any year by certain executive officers unless such excess is “performance-based compensation” or is otherwise exempt from Section 162(m), such as under the transition rule described above. Assuming stockholder approval, grants of options and stock appreciation rights, and grants of restricted shares and stock units conditioned on attainment of one or more performance goals set forth in the Plan, may qualify as performance-based compensation and be exempt from Section 162(m).

Section 409A

Any deferrals made under the Plan, including awards granted under the Plan that are considered to be deferred compensation, must satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to avoid adverse tax consequences to participating employees. These requirements include limitations on election timing, acceleration of payments, and distributions. We intend to structure any deferrals and awards under the Plan to meet the applicable tax law requirements.

Stockholder Approval

The Plan shall be subject to approval by our stockholders within 12 months before or after the date the Plan is adopted. The Board or Committee may grant ISOs under the Plan prior to approval of the Plan by the stockholders, but until such approval is obtained, no such Incentive Stock Options shall be exercisable. In the event that stockholder approval of the Plan is not obtained within the twelve (12) month period provided above, all Incentive Stock Options previously granted under the Plan shall be exercisable as non Qualified Stock Options.

Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing in this prospectus. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results, expectations and plans discussed in these forward-looking statements.

Overview

Our current business is the distribution of wine and spirit products manufactured in Armenia. In the future we may add alcohol beverage products manufactured in other countries.

Our signature product is Marani Vodka, a premium vodka which is manufactured exclusively for us in Armenia. Marani Vodka is made from winter wheat harvested in Armenia, distilled three times, aged in oak barrels lined with honey and skimmed dried milk, then filtered twenty-five times. Bottling of the product occurs at the Eraskh distillery in Armenia. Our vodka was awarded the gold medal in the International Spirit Competition, held in San Francisco, California, in both 2004 and 2007, the 5 Diamond Award by the American Academy of Hospitality and Sciences in March 2008, and was officially launched in August 2006.

At this time, and management believes for the foreseeable future, all of the Company’s products will come from a single supplier, Erashk Winery, Ltd. The Company has an Exclusive Distribution Agreement with Erashk Winery Ltd., an Armenian manufacturer of wine and other spirits, to purchase, inventory, promote, and resell any of its products world-wide. The Company pays a ten percent (10%) royalty to Erashk for all sales. The agreement was renewed on May 3, 2007, and continues until November 26, 2012 and is subject to automatic five (5) year renewals.

The Company intends to, and is currently in negotiations with, other distributors to reach arrangements to maximize distribution of its products in the United States. The Company also is in the process of identifying appropriate distributors of Marani Vodka in Italy, Switzerland, Monaco, Germany, Mexico, and parts of Asia.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). In connection with the preparation of the financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the related disclosure. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time the financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews our accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 3 of the notes to financial statements. Certain critical policies are presented below.

Stock Based Compensation

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. This pronouncement amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that companies account for awards of equity instruments issued to employees under the fair value method of accounting and recognize such amounts in their statements of operations. Under SFAS No. 123(R), we are required to measure compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense in our consolidated statements of operations over the service period that the awards are expected to vest.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R) and the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus in Issue No. 96-18 ("EITF 96-18"), "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services". Common stock issued to non-employees in exchange for services is accounted for based on the fair value of the services received.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Year ended June 30 2007

Revenues

		2008				2007				$ Change				% Change
Revenues		$	168,058			$	173,663			$	5,605				3.22	%

On April 4, 2008, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among the Company, FFBI Merger Sub Corp., a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary which we formed for purposes of the Merger and MEI, by which (i) FFBI would be merged with and into MEI, and (ii) we merged with MEI (a reverse merger) with MEI, with MEI continuing to exist as our wholly owned subsidiary (see Note 4 to our financial footnotes for a complete description of this merger transaction). On April 7, 2008, the Merger closed, with Subsequently, MEI, now known as changed its name to Marani Spirits, Inc. , being the surviving corporation and becoming our wholly-owned subsidiary. Prior to the merger, our only business was that of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Fit for Business (Australia) Pty Limited, which is engaged in the development of overall wellness programs for the workplace in Australia. Subsequent to the merger, we exercised our option to sell this subsidiary to our former Chief Executive Officer, Mark Paulsen, who acquired all our interest in, Fit for Business (Australia) Pty Limited on or about May 15, 2008. Subsequent to the merger transaction with MEI, the Company’s primary business is the business of MEI in the distribution of wine and spirit products manufactured in Armenia.

The revenues for our 2007 fiscal year were based upon the wellness programs developed by Fit for Business (Australia) Pty Limited. Subsequent to the merger, our sole business is the distribution of wine and spirit products manufactured in Armenia. The decrease in our revenues reflects the change of core business, including a major rebranding of the Marani Vodka product including a major new advertising campaign.

We plan to increase our revenues during 2008 - 2009 by developing and augmenting our internal sales force, securing additional distributors, expanding our product offering, increasing our volume per outlet and driving further penetration of our products into our current customer base.

Cost of Sales

		2008				% of Revenues				2007				% of Revenues				$ Change				% Change
Product costs		$	48,809				29	%		$	57,838				33.3	%		$	9,029				15.6	%

The decreases in cost of sales and cost of sales as a percentage of revenues are the result of the change in our core business from the development and sale of wellness programs by Fit for Business (Australia) Pty Limited to our post merger current business of the branding, marketing and distribution of wine and spirit products manufactured in Armenia.

Marketing and Advertising

The increase in marketing and advertising expenses is the result of the change in our core business after the April 2008 merger transaction. As a percentage of revenues, the high cost of marketing and expenses reflects our aggressive efforts to increase market share for our products in the United States from a small sales base. We expect marketing and advertising expenses to increase as we continue to build the company infrastructure. We anticipate, however, that the expense as a percentage of revenue will be reduced due to revenue growth.

General and Administrative

Included in our general and administrative expenses are the addition of five employees, increased travel for market development and financing activities, increased compensation for our new executive management, increased accounts payable, accrued expenses and legal fees associated with the April 2008 merger transaction. Total general and administrative expenses are expected to increase as we continue to build the company infrastructure. Subsequent to the changes caused by the 2008 merger transaction, however, we do not anticipate increased costs associated with management and expect a reduction in legal fees associated with routine business and compliance matters. As such, management expects that our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue will be reduced due to revenue growth, cost cutting efforts and the refinement of business operations.

Stock Based Compensation

The increase in stock based compensation is the result of our necessity to pay for services rendered to us with equity owing to cash flow constraints. As revenues increase, we expect that the necessity for stock based compensation will decrease.

Other Income (Expense)

	2008		% of Revenues			2007		% of Revenues			$ Change		% Change
Direct Offering Expense		11,779,577		7,310	%		-0-		-0-		$	11,779,577		100	%
Interest expense	$	161,132		95.87	%	$	45,718		27.2	%	$	115,414		252.44	%

The direct offering expenses were booked in connection with the $1,130,923 cash paid, and $10,648,654 value of the common stock issued in payment of these expenses in connection with the merger transaction.

The increase in interest expense is primarily the result of our obligations under a long term SBA loan having a balance due at June 30, 2008 of $249,816, having an interest rate of 8.25%, and our accrual of interest on a short term note in the amount $80,495 having an interest rate of 15%.

Net Loss

We reported a net loss in 2008 of $15,220,537 compared with a net loss of $536,109 in 2007. There were several factors that gave rise to our losses in 2008 and 2007. Most significant is the 11,779,577 that we booked as direct offering expenses. In addition, we had a significant increase in operating expenses in developing our administrative and operating infrastructure, developing new and existing sales channels and for our for marketing programs. Marketing expenses included a major rebranding of our primary product, Marani Vodka, the costs of retention of an advertising agency, Juggernaut, and preparation and primary shooting of a major advertising campaign, a complete redesign of the Company’s web presence, hiring of a surveying firm to generate marketing data regarding the placement of our product, and other major expenses involved in the enhancement and positioning of the Marani brand. As a result, our current revenue volume has not been sufficient to recover all of our operating expenses. We anticipate that our operating expenses as a percentage of our sales will decrease in future periods as our revenues increase and our costs stabilize.

Loss per Common Share Applicable to Common Stockholders

Our basic loss per common share applicable to common stockholders in 2008 was $(0.12) compared with a basic loss per common share applicable to common stockholders in 2007 of $(5.79). Because we experienced net losses in 2008 and 2007, all potential common share issuances resulting from the exercise of options and warrants would have an antidilutive impact on earnings per share; therefore, diluted loss per common share equals basic loss per common share for both years.

The weighted average common shares outstanding increased from 92,539 for the year ended 2007 to 130,290,491 for the year ended June 30, 2008. The increase is attributed primarily to the issuance of our common stock in connection with (i) the MEI reverse merger, including the shares issued by the accounting acquiree to the accounting acquirer, (ii) additional equity financing activities contemporaneous with and subsequent to the merger, and (iii) the issuance of common stock for direct offering services.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital Needs and Major Cash Expenditures

Our footnotes contain an explanatory paragraph that indicates that we have continuing losses from operations, and our working capital is insufficient to meet our planned business objectives. This report also states that, because of these losses, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This report and the existence of these recurring losses from operations may make it more difficult for us to raise additional debt or equity financing needed to run our business, and are not viewed favorably by analysts or investors. Furthermore, if we are unable to raise a significant amount of proceeds from private placements, public offerings or other financings, this may cause our cessation of business resulting in investors losing the value of their investment in us.

A major factor in the Company’s net losses, as set forth above, was the recent investments by the Company in expanded operations and a marketing campaign relating to its primary product, Marani Vodka. Management believes that these expenses are necessary to expand the business of the Company.

We currently have monthly working capital needs of approximately $156,000. This amount is expected to increase in 2008-2009, primarily due to the following factors:

• continued expansion of our administrative and operational infrastructure in connection with anticipated increase in our business activities, and

• continued expansion of our marketing and sales programs.

External Sources of Liquidity:

During the year ended June 30, 2008, we received proceeds of $7,502,500 from the sale of common stock. In addition, we issued shares of our common stock in payment of

• $70,449 for services rendered by third parties,

• $422,216 for certain debt obligations, and

• $10,648,654 for direct offering services.

These three issuances occurred incident to and as part of the merger between the Company and MEI.

The balance of our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2008 was $2,460,553.

To date, we have relied on funding from investors, our officers and directors, and our limited sales to fund operations. To date, we have generated little revenue and have extremely limited cash liquidity and capital resources. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our ability to market our products successfully, cash flow from operations, and our ability to obtain financing in the capital markets. Our business plan requires additional funding beyond our anticipated cash flow from operations. Consequently, although we currently have no specific plans or arrangements for financing, we intend to raise funds through private placements, public offerings or other financings. Any equity financings would result in dilution to our then-existing stockholders. Sources of debt financing may result in higher interest expense and may expose the Company to liquidity problems. Any financing, if available, may be on unfavorable terms. If adequate funds are not obtained, we may be required to reduce or curtail operations. We anticipate that our existing capital resources will be adequate to satisfy our operating expenses and capital requirements for approximately 6 months. However, this estimate of expenses and capital requirements may prove to be inaccurate.

Information about Our Cash Flows

Cash provided by (used in):	2008			2007			$ Change		% Change
Operating activities	$	(4,504,839	)	$	(498,773	)	$	4,006,066		803	%
Investing activities	$	(3,863,609	)	$	-		$	-		-
Financing activities	$	9,622,577		$	532,590		$	9,129,987		1,714.26

Cash provided by or used in our operating, investing and financing activities is the result of the change in our core business after the April 2008 merger transaction. The net increase in cash used in operating activities of $4,504,839 is due primarily to the increase in our net loss in 2008, which included $11,779,577 in direct offering costs associated with the merger transaction. In addition, the net loss was attributable to a change in core business, and increased spending for marketing and operations by the Company, as set forth above. In addition, cash used by our operating activities increased as a result of changes in stock based compensation during 2008 by $69,449, compared to $4,000 for the same period in 2007. Changes in accounts payable contributed to an increase in cash used by operating activities of $81,933 in 2008, as compared to contributing to an increase of $342,660 for 2007. Changes in accrued expenses contributed to a decrease in cash used by operating activities of $56,027 for 2008, as compared to contributing to a decrease of $50,149 for 2007. Cash flows generated by our operating activities were inadequate to cover our cash disbursement needs for the year ended June 30, 2008, and we had to rely on private placement financing to cover operating expenses.

Cash used in the year ended June 30, 2008 in our investing activities was $2,329 for purchase of property and equipment and goodwill and intangibles, compared to $0 for the same period in 2007.

Net cash provided by our financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2008 was $6,932,220. Net cash provided by financing activities for the same period in 2007 was $532,590, for a net increase of $6,399,630. The increase in 2008 is attributed to proceeds received from the sale of our common stock of $7,502,500 and the negative equity of FFBI Sub Corp of $513,724 in connection with the 2008 merger transaction.

These financial numbers as reported include both the pre-merger operations of FFBI and the post-merger operations of Marani Spirits, Inc.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Effects of Inflation

We believe that inflation has not had any material effect on our net sales and results of operations.

Item 7 Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2006 are contained on Pages F-1 to F-22 that follow.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

THE BOARD OF MARANI BRANDS, INC.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Marani Brands, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the periods then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 audit 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 such opinion. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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 that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Marani Brands, Inc. and Subsidiaries at June 30, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its’ consolidated operations and its’ consolidated stockholders equity and consolidated cash flows for the periods then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As referred to in Note 15 to the financial statements, the company has restated these financial statements for a correction of an error.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company's viability is dependent upon its ability to obtain future financing and the success of its future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these matters is described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1 – Organization, Business & Operations

History

The Company was incorporated in Nevada on May 30, 2001, under the name Elli Tsab, Inc., which was subsequently changed to Patient Data Corporation, and thereafter to Fit for Business, Inc. On March 10, 2008, the Company changed its name from Fit for Business, Inc. to Marani Brands, Inc. On March 31, 2008, the common stock underwent a 1-for-250 reverse stock split, and commenced trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the new symbol “MRIB”.

Merger (see Note 4)

On April 4, 2008, the Company, FFBI Merger Sub Corp. and MEI executed, and on April 7, 2008 the parties closed, a three party Merger Agreement. The acquisition of MEI by the Company was completed by the merger of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, FFBI Merger Sub Corp. with and into MEI, with MEI remaining as the surviving entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The net effect of these transactions is a reverse merger of the Company with MEI. MEI subsequently changed its name to Marani Spirits, Inc., and continues to be the operational arm of the Company.

Business and Products

Subsequent to the merger transaction with MEI, the Company’s primary business is the distribution of wine and spirit products manufactured in Armenia. In the future the Company may add alcohol beverage products manufactured in other countries.

Reverse Stock Split

Effective March 31, 2008, the Company’s common stock underwent a 1-for-250 reverse stock split. The Company retained the current par value of $0.001 per share for all shares of common stock. All references in the financial statements to the number of shares outstanding, per share amounts, and stock options data of the Company’s common stock have been restated to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split for all periods presented.

Note 2 - Going Concern and Management's Plans

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the company as a going concern. However, as of June 30, 2008, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $17,528,139 and incurred a net loss for the year ended June 30, 2008 of $15,220,537. The Company’s current business plan requires additional funding beyond its anticipated cash flows from operations. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital and achieve profitable operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Recapitalization

The capital structure of the consolidated enterprise is that of MEI due to reverse recapitalization accounting. The financial statements presented are a continuation of MEI, the accounting acquirer, and not FFBI, the accounting acquiree. The Company recorded this combination as a “As is Pooling”. This was required as the transaction was a reverse merger. The recapitalization and capital structure is now different than that appearing in historical financial statements for FFBI.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Marani Brands, Inc. and its wholly subsidiaries Marani Spirits, Inc. and Great Hawk, Inc. (collectively the “Company”). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed on a weighted-average basis, which approximates the first-in, first-out method; market is based upon estimated replacement costs. Costs included in inventory primarily include finished spirit product and packaging.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Property & equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over useful lives of 3 to 10 years. The cost of assets sold or retired and the related amounts of accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal. Any resulting gain or loss is reflected in current operations. Assets held under capital leases are recorded at the lesser of the present value of the future minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased property. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business." The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal.

Basic and Diluted Net Income per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period without consideration of the dilutive effect of stock warrants and convertible notes. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period after consideration of the dilutive effect of stock warrants and convertible notes.

Fair value of financial instruments

Revenue recognition

Sales of products and related costs of products sold are recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. These terms are typically met upon shipment of finished spirit products to the customer.

Shipping and Handling

In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs, we include shipping fees billed to customers in net revenues and do not bill customers for handling. Amounts incurred by us for freight are included in cost of goods sold.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

We provide an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable balances based on historical experience and the aging of the related accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2008 the Company has reserved $0 for doubtful accounts.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for the year ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $180,071 and $41,344, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("FASB") No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS 109"). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between their financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company was not required to provide for a provision for income taxes for the periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, as a result of net operating losses incurred during the periods. As of June 30, 2008, the Company has available approximately $17,500,000 of net operating losses ("NOL") available for income tax purposes that may be carried forward to offset future taxable income, if any. These carryforwards expire in various years through 2026. At June 30, 2008, the Company has a deferred tax assets of approximately $7,000,000 relating to the Company's net operating losses, respectively. The Company's deferred tax asset has been fully reserved by a valuation allowance since realization of its benefit is uncertain. The Company's ability to utilize its NOL carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation in future periods pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In addition, other limitations may be imposed by the code by virtue of the merger outlined in Note 4.

Reclassifications

Certain items in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation in the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the previously reported income (loss).

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (FAS 141(R)). This statement provides greater consistency in the accounting and financial reporting of business combinations. It requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction, establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and requires the acquirer to disclose the nature and financial effect of the business combination. FAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We will adopt FAS 141(R) no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and are currently assessing the impact the adoption will have on our financial position and results of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

RESTATED

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160. Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (FAS 160). This Statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. FAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We will adopt FAS 160 no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and are currently assessing the impact the adoption will have on our financial position and results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities , which permits entities to choose to measure at fair value eligible financial instruments and certain other items that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. This statement requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We will adopt SFAS No. 159 no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2009. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on our financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) . SFAS No. 158 requires company plan sponsors to display the net over or under-funded position of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability, with any unrecognized prior service costs, transition obligations or actuarial gains/losses reported as a component of other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. We adopted the recognition provisions of SFAS No. 158 as of the end of fiscal 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 158 did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements . SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, clarifies the definition of fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, the application of SFAS No. 157 may change current practice for some entities. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We will adopt SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. We are currently assessing the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our financial position and results of operations.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). This interpretation clarifies the application of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes , by defining a criterion that an individual tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, but earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the application of the Interpretation to its financial statements.

Note 4 – Merger

On April 4, 2008, the Company, FFBI Merger Sub Corp. and MEI executed, and on April 7, 2008 the parties closed, a three party Merger Agreement, which the parties implemented follows:

Merger of FFBI Merger Sub Corp. and MEI

By virtue of this statutory merger, the separate corporate existence of FFBI Merger Sub Corp. ceased, with MEI remaining as the surviving corporation.

The shares of FFBI Merger Sub Corp. held by the Company pre merger were converted into the shares of MEI and, post merger, the conversion shares remain outstanding and continue to be held by the Company as shares of MEI

Since MEI was a company with an ongoing business, and since FFBI Merger Sub Corp. had no business operations and ceased to exist as a separate corporate entity, this merger transaction constituted a “forward merger”

Merger MEI and Marani Brands, Inc.

By virtue of this “subsidiary merger,” both companies continue to have a separate existence, with MEI becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Each share of MEI held by its stockholders pre merger was automatically exchanged for that number of shares of the Company, determined by dividing 100,0000,000 by the 10,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of MEI existing before either merger, effecting a 10 for 1 exchange ratio

On April 7, 2008, the Company issued 100,000,000 shares of its common stock to the pre merger stockholders of MEI, and the 10,0000,000 shares of MEI held by MEI’s stockholders pre merger were cancelled.

The Company thereby holds 100% of the shares of MEI by virtue of (i) the cancellation of the MEI shares held pre subsidiary merger by MEI stockholders that were exchanged for 100,000,000 of the Company’s shares and (ii) the MEI shares that were converted from FFBI Merger Sub Corp. shares held by the Company pre forward merger, which remain outstanding and continue to be held by the Company, as the total issued and outstanding shares of MEI, post merger.

Since MEI operated an ongoing business and since the Company had pre merger business operations that were not pursued by the Company post merger, this subsidiary merger transaction constituted a “reverse merger”

Item 8A(T). Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), as of June 30, 2008. Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act filings is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a – 15(f). Management conducted an assessment as of June30, 2008 of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on that evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2008, based on criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements should they occur. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the control procedure may deteriorate.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Changes in internal controls

There were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during period ending June 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Material Changes to Nomination Procedures

We have not adopted procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

We do not have a separately constituted standing audit committee or a committee performing similar functions. Our entire Board of Directors acts as our audit committee.

We do not have an audit committee financial expert serving on our audit committee. We are a small company with limited revenues for the year ended June 30, 2008. In these circumstances, we have had difficulty attracting a qualified director that could serve as our audit committee financial expert.

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, Director Independence

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

We did not engage in any business relationship or activities with employees, officers, directors or affiliates during our fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, other that with respect to their employment positions and duties performed on our behalf; nor, to the best of our knowledge do any our employees, officers, directors or affiliates have an interest in any person, entity or third party with which we conduct business activities.

Director Independence

Our board has positions for three (3) directors that are elected annual meetings of our shareholders. Our Board of Directors does not meet appropriate standards of independence. In determining independence, the board will consider the definition of “independent director” in the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Under this definition, none of our current directors is considered independent.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

Audit Fees and Audit Related Fees

The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in our Forms 10-KSB were $39,850 and $25,503, respectively, for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. There were no audit related fees for these periods.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies

Our Board of directors, functioning as our audit committee, makes reasonable inquiry as to the independence of our principal auditors based upon the considerations set forth in Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-B, including the examination of representation letters furnished by the principal accountant. The audit committee has not approved any services beyond those required for the audit of our annual financial statements, review of financial statements included in our Forms 10-KSB and preparation of corporate tax returns.
