NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these condensed interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the period March 7, 2008 (inception) through March 14, 2008 and notes thereto included in the Company’s S-1 and S-1/A filed on March 19, 2008 and April 7, 2008, respectively. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.

Results of operations for the interim period are not indicative of annual results.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As noted above, the Company is in the development stage and, accordingly, has not yet generated revenues from operations. Since its inception, the Company has been engaged substantially in financing activities and developing its business plan, setting up its internet website, and incurring start up costs and expenses. As a result, the Company incurred accumulated net losses from March 7, 2008 (inception) through the period ended September 30, 2008 of ($37,903). In addition, the Company’s development activities since inception have been financially sustained through equity financing.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to recover the value of its assets or satisfy its liabilities.

NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS

FAS 161

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", an amendment of SFAS No. 133. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments and non-derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments pursuant to paragraphs 37 and 42 of SFAS 133 and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS 133. SFAS 161 requires entities to provide greater transparency through additional disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS 161 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operation.

FAS 162

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS 162 will provide framework for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for nongovernmental entities. SFAS 162 will be effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) amendments to AU Section 411. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 162 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operation.

FAS 163

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” SFAS 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities. Those clarifications will increase comparability in financial reporting of financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. The accounting and disclosure requirements of the Statement will improve the quality of information provided to users of financial statements. SFAS 163 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 163 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operation.

o	our ability to attract key personnel;

o	our ability to operate profitably;

o	deterioration in general or regional economic conditions;

Business Development Summary

Alcantara Brands is a development stage company incorporated in the State of Nevada in March of 2008. We intend to introduce a new line of food products to the grocery industry. We are developing a line of flavorings, seasonings, and condiments designed to make everyday in-home prepared meals taste better. Made with Peruvian peppers, the Alcantara Brands are intended to transform routine in-home prepared foods into exciting meals. Our President, Carlos Alcantara, the founder of Alcantara Brands comes from Callao, Peru, which is the basis for our Peruvian brand of products being developed by us.

Since our inception on March 7, 2008 through September 30, 2008, we have not generated any revenues and have incurred a net loss of $37,903. As of September of 2008, our only business activity was the formation of our corporate entity and the development of our business model. We anticipate the commencement of generating revenues in the next twelve months, of which we can provide no assurance. The capital raised in our offering has been budgeted to cover the costs associated with the offering, travel expenses, working capital, and covering various filing fees and transfer agent fees. We believe that our lack of significant expenses and our ability to commence purchasing and importing products from Peru will generate revenues sufficient to support the limited costs associated with our initial ongoing operations for the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that the actual expenses incurred will not materially exceed our estimates or that cash flows from product imports will be adequate to maintain our business. As a result, our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in the independent auditors’ report to the financial statements.

Introduction to Our Product Line

Our product is intended to be a line of flavorings, seasonings, and condiments designed to make everyday in-home prepared meals taste better. Our product line will leverage the more intense and ethnic flavor trends, with a healthier option by the fact that their flavor will not require the added baggage of extra fat, sugar or salt, which are commonly used in other products to generate flavor. The product line is being designed and developed for the North American palate and lifestyle, and is intended to be introduced into the mainstream food market. It will provide an easy, convenient way to bring spice to meals, with a touch of heat. The line promises to add sales for retailers, through the introduction of a new grocery category (seasoning pastes), and distinctive, unique flavors (the Peruvian peppers) to established condiment categories. The Company expects these products will appeal to the fast-growing consumer segments: consumers who like hot and spicy foods, and those looking for more ethnic offerings.

There are many important factors having a significant impact on grocery food categories sales: long-term, perennial trends, such as convenience and health, as well as more recent growth of more intense flavor options, and ethnic/regional cuisine. These factors are reflected in the proliferation of Mexican sauces, which now outsell that ubiquitous American staple, tomato ketchup, and new trends such as flavored mayonnaises, hot and spicy ketchups and meat sauces, and similar products. Increased grilling and other healthier food preparation techniques have also driven recent rapid growth trends for marinades and dipping sauces. We intend for Supermarkets to use the Company’s high-margin product line to build up their specialty food offering, differentiating themselves from mass merchandisers. The product line of seasoning pastes do not replace other products, but are used in addition to them, representing an opportunity for retailers to build category growth.

Peruvian Culinary Tradition and Our Product Background

The latest trend to hit the U.S. is the fabulous cuisine of Peru, which is reputedly the best in South America, and one of the top three in the world (with French and Chinese cuisine). Peruvian cuisine is known not only for its exquisite taste, but also for its variety and ability to incorporate the influence from different times and cultures. The culinary history of the Peruvian food dates back to the Incas and pre-Incas with its maize, potatoes, and spices that later was influenced by the arrival of the Spanish colonists, and throughout the years it incorporated the demands of the different migrations and mestizajes. Such groups included Chinese, European, African, and Japanese immigrants. The mestizajes resulting from immigration, combined with the diversity of unique ingredients, is a key factor in making the local cuisine so distinctive.

The most important seasoning used to prepare meals during Pre-Hispanic times was what today is known as aji, which even today is omnipresent in Peruvian food. Aji is a hot pepper considered the soul of Peruvian cooking by its chefs. There are dozens of varieties in Peru. The seven Peruvian peppers used in our product line (i.e., Amarillo, Mirasol, Panca, Red Limo, Green Limo, Rocoto, and Charapita) are all new to the market, and are generally unavailable outside of Peru, except in the Company’s products. Our product line will blend the diverse ingredients from Peru’s varied climates and distinctive ecologies, ranging from the dry coastal planes to Andean foothill valleys to the jungles of the Amazon.

Plan of Operation

As mentioned above, Alcantara Brands is developing a line of flavorings, seasonings, and condiments designed to make everyday in-home prepared meals taste better. Made with Peruvian peppers, the Alcantara Brands are intended to transform routine in-home prepared foods into exciting meals.

Satisfaction of our cash obligations for the next 12 months. Our plan of operation has provided for us to: (i) develop a business plan, and (ii) establish a line of products which can be produced in Peru, as soon as practical. We have accomplished the goal of developing our business plan; however, we are in the early stages of setting up an operational company capable of providing products available for sale to the general public. We do not have sufficient cash to enable us to development significant inventory, which is an integral part of our operations.

Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next twelve months is through the funds from our offering, third party financing, and/or traditional bank financing. We anticipate sales-generated income during that same period of time, but do not anticipate generating sufficient amounts of revenues to meet our working capital requirements. Consequently, we intend to make appropriate plans to insure sources of additional capital in the future to fund growth and expansion through additional equity or debt financing or credit facilities.

Since inception, we have financed cash flow requirements through the issuance of common stock for cash and services. As we continue to expand operational activities, we may continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations, pending receipt of revenues from our services, and will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings and debt borrowings, giving consideration to loans and working diligently to move sales ahead to the extent necessary to provide working capital.

We anticipate incurring operating losses over the majority of the next twelve months. Our lack of operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development. Such risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth. To address these risks we must, among other things, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continue to develop and upgrade technology and products, respond to competitive developments, and continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

As a result of our cash requirements and our lack of revenues, we anticipate continuing to issue stock in exchange for loans and/or equity financing, which may have a substantial dilutive impact on our existing stockholders.

Going Concern

The consolidated financial statements included in this filing have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles that contemplate the continuance of Alcantara as a going concern. Alcantara may not have a sufficient amount of cash required to pay all of the costs associated with operating and marketing of its products. Management intends to use borrowings and security sales to mitigate the effects of cash flow deficits, however no assurance can be given that debt or equity financing, if and when required, will be available. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should Alcantara be unable to continue existence.

Summary of any product research and development that we will perform for the term of the plan. We do not anticipate performing any significant product research and development under our plan of operation in the near future. In lieu of product research and development we anticipate maintaining control over our current line of products, to assist us in determining the allocation of our limited inventory dollars.

Expected purchase or sale of plant and significant equipment. We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment, as such items are not required by us at this time or in the next 12 months.

Significant changes in number of employees. The number of employees required to operate our business is currently two part time individuals. After we complete the current offering, have commenced our product development program and word of mouth advertising, and at the end of the initial 12 month period, our plan of operation anticipates our requiring additional capital to hire at least one full time person.

Milestones:

As a result of our being a development stage company with minimal amounts of equity capital initially available, we have set our goals in three stages: (1) goals based upon the availability of our initial funding of $7,500 (achieved); (2) goals based upon our funding of $55,000 (achieved and goals being implemented); and (3) goals based upon or funding additional equity and or debt in the approximate sum of $100,000 to $200,000 (currently seeking other financing).

With the infusion of capital from our direct public offering, we are implementing Stage II of our Plan of Operation. We currently have insufficient capital to commence any significant inventory development or importation. Although we are currently operational and we are starting to place orders for the production of our line of food products, our plan of operation is premised upon having inventory dollars available. We believe that the inventory dollars allocated in the offering will assist us in generating revenues. We have suffered start up losses and have a working capital deficiency which raises substantial concern regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. We believe that the proceeds of the offering will enable us to maintain our operations and working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months, without taking into account any internally generated funds from operations. As of September 2008, we have successfully raised $55,000 to comply with our business plan of operations for the next 12 months based on our capital expenditure requirements.

Even though we have successfully completed offering, we will require additional funds to maintain and expand our operations as referenced in our Stage III. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shareholders. At this time we have no earmarked source for these funds. Additionally, there is no guarantee that we will be able to locate additional funds. In the event we are unable to locate additional funds, we will be unable to generate revenues sufficient to operate our business as planned. For example, if we receive less than $100,000 of the funds earmarked in Stage III, we would be unable to significantly expand our inventory to levels under Stage III. Alternatively we may be required to reduce the payments of salary to our President and cover legal and accounting fees required to continue our operations. There is still no assurance that, even with the funds from the offering, we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on their investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have financed our cash flow requirements through issuance of common stock. As we expand our activities, we may, and most likely will, continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations, pending receipt of product sales. Additionally, we anticipate obtaining additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings, to the extent available, or to obtain additional financing to the extent necessary to augment our working capital. In the future we need to generate sufficient revenues from product sales in order to eliminate or reduce the need to sell additional stock or obtain additional loans. There can be no assurance we will be successful in raising the necessary funds to execute our business plan.

We anticipate that we will incur operating losses in the next twelve months. Our lack of operating history, of approximately only a couple of months, makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Such risks for us include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth. To address these risks, we must, among other things, obtain a customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continually develop our line of food products, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

This item in not applicable as we are currently considered a smaller reporting company.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods. As of the end of the period covered by this report, Carlos Alcantara, our President and Principal Accounting Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on the evaluation, which disclosed no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, Mr. Alcantara, our President and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting him to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer ad principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II--OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are not presently a party to any material litigation, nor to the knowledge of management is any litigation threatened against us, which may materially affect us.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are a development stage company organized in March 2008 and have recently commenced operations, which makes an evaluation of us extremely difficult. At this stage of our business operations, even with our good faith efforts, we may never become profitable or generate any significant amount of revenues, thus potential investors have a high probability of losing their investment.

We were incorporated in March of 2008 as a Nevada corporation. As a result of our start-up operations we have; (i) generated no revenues, (ii) accumulated deficits of $37,903 for the period ended September 30, 2008, and (iii) we have incurred losses of $37,903 from our inception through the period ended September 30, 2008. We have been focused on organizational and start-up activities, business plan development, and commenced development of our food products since we incorporated. Although we have commenced the development of our food product lines, there is nothing at this time on which to base an assumption that our business operations will prove to be successful or that we will ever be able to operate profitably. Our future operating results will depend on many factors, including our ability to raise adequate working capital, demand for our products, the level of our competition and our ability to attract and maintain key management and employees.

Our auditor’s have substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, our auditor’s report reflects that the ability of Alcantara Brands to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues.

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our auditor’s report reflects that the ability of Alcantara Brands to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, you will lose your investment. We will be required to seek additional capital to fund future growth and expansion. No assurance can be given that such financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on commercially favorable terms. Moreover, favorable financing may be dilutive to investors.

We will require additional financing in order to implement our business plan. In the event we are unable to acquire additional financing, we may not be able to implement our business plan resulting in a loss of revenues and ultimately the loss of your investment.

Due to our very recent start-up nature, we will have to incur the costs of product development, import expenses, advertising, in addition to hiring new employees and commencing additional marketing activities for product sales and distribution. To fully implement our business plan we will require substantial additional funding. The recently raised funds from our offering will only enable us to commence our product development, and will assist us in further developing our initial business operations, including the enhancement of product lines; however, the capital will not be sufficient to allow us to expand our business meaningfully. Additionally, since the net offering proceeds have been earmarked for advertising expenses, travel, accounting, legal, some website development fees, and minimal working capital, we will not be capitalized sufficiently to hire or pay employees.

We will need to raise additional funds to expand our operations. We plan to raise additional funds through private placements, registered offerings, debt financing or other sources to maintain and expand our operations. Adequate funds for this purpose on terms favorable to us may not be available, and if available, on terms significantly more adverse to us than are manageable. Without new funding, we may be only partially successful or completely unsuccessful in implementing our business plan, and our stockholders may lose part or all of their investment.

We are significantly dependent on our two officers and directors, who have limited experience. The loss or unavailability to Alcantara Brands of Mr. and Mrs. Alcantara’s services would have an adverse effect on our business, operations and prospects in that we may not be able to obtain new management under the same financial arrangements.

Our business plan is significantly dependent upon the abilities and continued participation of Carlos T. Alcantara, our President. It would be difficult to replace Mr. Alcantara at such an early stage of development of Alcantara Brands. The loss by or unavailability to Alcantara Brands of Mr. Alcantara’s services would have an adverse effect on our business, operations and prospects, in that our inability to replace Mr. Alcantara could result in the loss of one’s investment. Additionally, our business plan is significantly dependent upon the abilities and continued participation of Shanda Alcantara, which the loss or unavailability of Mrs. Alcantar could materially impact our business operations.

There can be no assurance that we would be able to locate or employ personnel to replace Mr. or Mrs. Alcantara, should either of their services be discontinued. In the event that we are unable to locate or employ personnel to replace either Mr. or Mrs. Alcantara, then we may be required to cease pursuing our business opportunity.

Mr. Alcantara has no experience in running a public company. The lack of experience in operating a public company could impact our return on investment, if any.

As a result of our reliance on Mr. Alcantara, and his lack of experience in operating a public company, our investors are at risk in losing their entire investment. Mr. Alcantara intends to hire personnel in the future, when sufficiently capitalized, who may have the experience required to manage our company; however, such management is not anticipated until the occurrence of future financing. Since the recently filed offering will not sufficiently capitalize our company, future offerings will be necessary to satisfy capital needs. Until such future offering occurs, and until such management is in place, we are reliant upon Mr. Alcantara to make the appropriate management decisions.

Mr. Alcantara may become involved with other businesses and there can be no assurance that he will continue to provide services to us. Mr. Alcantara’s limited time devotion to Alcantara Brands could have the effect on our operations of preventing us from being a successful business operation, which ultimately could cause a loss of your investment.

As compared to many other public companies, we do not have the depth of managerial or technical personnel. Mr. Alcantara is currently involved in other businesses, which have not, and are not expected in the future to interfere with Mr. Alcantara’s ability to work on behalf of our company. Mr. Alcantara may in the future be involved with other businesses and there can be no assurance that he will continue to provide services to us. Mr. Alcantara will devote only a portion of his time to our activities.

Because of competitive pressures from competitors with more resources, Alcantara Brands may fail to implement its business model profitably.

The business of developing food product lines is highly fragmented and extremely competitive. There are numerous competitors offering similar products. The market for customers is intensely competitive and such competition is expected to continue to increase. There are no substantial barriers to entry in this market and we believe that our ability to compete depends upon many factors within and beyond our control, including the timing and market acceptance of food products developed by us, our competitors, and their advisors.

Many of our existing and potential competitors have longer operating histories in the food markets, greater name recognition, larger customer bases, established product lines, and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. As a result, they will be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging advertising techniques, and changes in customer demands, or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and marketing of their products than we can. Such competitors are able to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns for their products, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and make more attractive offers to potential store outlets, and strategic distribution partners.

Risks Relating To Our Common Stock

There is no current public market for our common stock; therefore you may be unable to sell your securities at any time, for any reason, and at any price, resulting in a loss of your investment.

As of the date of this filing, there is no public market for our common stock. Although we have contacted an authorized OTC Bulletin Board market maker for sponsorship of our securities on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, there can be no assurance that our attempt to do so will be successful. Furthermore, if our securities are not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, or elsewhere, there can be no assurance that a market will develop for the common stock or that a market in the common stock will be maintained. As a result of the foregoing, investors may be unable to liquidate their investment for any reason.

Because our common stock is deemed a low-priced “Penny” stock, an investment in our common stock should be considered high risk and subject to marketability restrictions.

Since our common stock is a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act, it will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment even if and when a market develops for the common stock. Until the trading price of the common stock rises above $5.00 per share, if ever, trading in the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules of the Securities Exchange Act specified in rules 15g-1 through 15g-10. Those rules require broker-dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to:

·	Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;

·	Disclose certain price information about the stock;

·	Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;

·	Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and

·	In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules.

Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the common stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell their common stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of Alcantara Brands; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of Alcantara Brands are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of Alcantara Brands, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Alcantara Brands’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

We have two individuals performing the functions of all officers and directors. Mr. Alcantara, our president, has developed our internal control procedures and is responsible for monitoring and ensuring compliance with those procedures. As a result, our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Use of Proceeds From Sales of Registered Securities

On April 21, 2008, our registration statement (File No. 333-149804) relating to our initial public offering of our common stock was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the registration statement, we registered 550,000 shares of our common stock with an aggregate offering price of $55,000. The offering closed in August 2008, wherein we received subscriptions for the total 550,000 of the shares offered. All shares of common stock offered were sold for the aggregate offering price directly by us with no commissions paid on funds raised.

We incurred offering expenses of approximately $5,800 in connection with the offering. Thus the net offering proceeds to us (after deducting offering expenses) were approximately $49,200. No offering expenses were paid directly or indirectly to any of our directors or officers (or their associates), persons owning ten percent (10%) or more of any class of our equity securities or to any other affiliates.

As of September 30, 2008, $4,650 of the net proceeds had been used for accounting and transfer agent expenses. The remaining $44,550 of the net proceeds remain in our operating account pending future use.
