A Note About Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are based on management’s current expectations. These statements may be identified by their use of words like “plans,” “expect,” “aim,” “believe,” “projects,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “will,” “should,” “could” and other expressions that indicate future events and trends. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including statements about our business strategy, expenditures, and financial results, are forward-looking statements. We believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are accurate. However, we cannot assure you that such expectations will occur.
Actual results could differ materially from those in the forward looking statements due to a number of uncertainties including, but not limited to, those discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Factors that could cause future results to differ from these expectations include general economic conditions; further changes in our business direction or strategy; competitive factors; market uncertainties; and an inability to attract, develop, or retain consulting or managerial agents or independent contractors. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives requires the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. You should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. Except as required by law, we are not obligated to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

History
The Company incorporated as Chem-Waste Corporation in January 1984 in North Carolina. From 1984 through 1998, the Company designed, manufactured, sold, and serviced equipment and systems for the treatment of contaminated insoluble organic materials. Due to intense competition in their specific segment of the waste disposal industry the Company elected to discontinue that business segment’s operations in 1998.
In 2007, the Company changed its name to The Saint James Company. The Company does not currently have active business operations but has entered into agreements to acquire and distribute wines produced in Australia and New Zealand. See Note 10 - Neqtar Wines and Note 11 - New Zealand Wineries.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reporting 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 periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Reclassification of Accounts
Certain reclassifications have been made to the comparative financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 and for the period from January 1, 1999 (inception of the current development stage) to March 31, 2009 to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or financial position.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations and finite lived intangible assets when events and circumstances indicate the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts. The impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”)Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, the Company has determined the estimated fair value of its financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Due to their short-term maturity, the fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets and current liabilities approximates their carrying values.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares that might be issued upon exercise of warrants to purchase common shares. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 was effective as of January 1, 2007. Refer to Note 8 for additional information concerning this standard.
In September 2006, FASB Statement No. 157 Fair Value Measurements, or SFAS 157, was issued. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement is effective July 1, 2008. This standard will have little or no impact on our financial statements.
In February 2007, FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, or SFAS 159, was issued. This Statement permits us to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. It also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements. This Statement is effective July 1, 2008. This standard will have little or no impact on our financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)), which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations SFAS No. 141(R) requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. This Statement also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values. SFAS No. 141(R) makes various other amendments to authoritative literature intended to provide additional guidance or to confirm the guidance in that literature to that provided in this Statement. This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement could have a significant impact on our financial statements if contemplated business combinations occur.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (SFAS No. 160), which amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require the ownership interests in subsidiaries not held by the parent to be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. This statement also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. Changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest must be accounted for consistently, and when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained non-controlling equity investment in the former subsidiary must be initially measured at fair value. The gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary is measured using the fair value of any non-controlling equity investment. The Statement also requires entities to provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. This Statement applies prospectively to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements and applies prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting pronouncement to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162 “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”), which is effective 90 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). We do not expect the adoption of this accounting pronouncement to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
In early October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active,” which amended SFAS No. 157 to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset in an inactive market. This FSP was effective for the Company beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Its additional guidance was incorporated in the measurements of fair value of applicable financial assets disclosed in Note 13 and did not have a material impact on 3M’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In November 2008, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) consensus on Issue No. 08-6, “Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations” (EITF 08-6) which addresses certain effects of SFAS Nos. 141R and 160 on an entity’s accounting for equity-method investments. The consensus indicates, among other things, that transaction costs for an investment should be included in the cost of the equity-method investment (and not expensed) and shares subsequently issued by the equity-method investee that reduce the investor’s ownership percentage should be accounted for as if the investor had sold a proportionate share of its investment, with gains or losses recorded through earnings. For the Company, EITF 08-6 is effective for transactions occurring after December 31, 2008. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on 3M’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
The animation cell artwork that the Company originally acquired in 2005 for 5,000,000 shares of its own common stock valued at $0.01 per share was assessed for recoverability of its carrying value in the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company’s management determined that an impairment loss of $50,000 had occurred. The impairment loss was recorded in the third quarter of 2008.
On December 15, 2005, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with The Saint James LLC Collection, LLC and purchased Limited Edition Animation Cell Art Collection for 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The 5,000,000 shares were valued at $0.01 per share.
On February 15, 2004, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Wynthrop Barrington, Inc. Wynthrop Barrington, Inc. is in business of providing management consulting services, security related services and advice with respect to SEC and NASD rules and regulations, business advisory and development services, product development services, product marketing and sales services. The consulting services obtained from Wynthrop Barrington, Inc., resulted in $60,000 of accounts payable at February 20, 2005 which were then paid to the consultant by issuance of the Company stock of 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.01 per share.
5. | Related Party Transactions |
As of December 31, 2006, certain current and former officers, who are still shareholders, advanced the Company $53,003 to pay for administrative costs incurred by the Company. The advances were non-interest bearing and payable upon demand. In September 2007, these amounts were forgiven and recorded by the Company as additional paid in capital.
6. | Financial Results, Liquidity and Management’s Plan |
The Company has zero assets at March 31, 2009, current liabilities of $369,700, an accumulated deficit of $4,116,623 and has incurred a net loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 of $16,961 and net losses for the period from January 1, 1999 (inception of the current development stage) to March 31, 2009 of $636,391. The Company has relied upon loans from third parties and the forbearance of its creditors to satisfy its obligations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has not been successful in generating sufficient working capital through the issuance of common stock or been able to implement its business plan to effectively sustain ongoing operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. In October 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to obtain financing necessary to acquire an operating business (Note 10 - Neqtar Wines).
Notes payable at December 31, 2008 consisted of the following:
Note payable, without collateral, interest at 10% per annum, principal and interest due in October 2008 | | $ | 150,000 | |
Note payable, without collateral, interest at 10% per annum, principal and interest due in October 2008 | | | 25,000 | |

8. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Legal Actions
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the combined financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s combined financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.
Warrants
In connection with the acquisition of the rights to acquire Neqtar Wines (Note 10 - Neqtar Wines), we issued warrants to purchase 120,000 shares of our common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $10.00 per share and expire in October 2013.
A summary of all warrant activity is as follows:

On October 21, 2008, we entered into a Heads of Agreement (the “HOA”) with Neqtar Wines PTY LTD (“Neqtar”), pursuant to which Neqtar and we agreed on certain potential terms of a potential future transaction. On March 17, 2008, Neqtar and Samson Investment Company (“Samson”) entered into a letter of intent (the “LOI”) setting forth certain terms of a proposed acquisition by Samson, or its nominee, of all of Neqtar’s outstanding shares of common stock. On October 20, 2008, we entered into a Designation, Assignment, and Assumption Agreement with Samson, in which we were designated by Samson as its nominee under the LOI, and Samson conveyed all of its right, title, and interest in the same to us and we granted a five-year warrant to Samson to purchase 120,000 shares of our common stock at a per-share exercise price of $10.00. As a result of our designation as Samson’s nominee under the LOI, we entered into preliminary transaction negotiations with Neqtar, which culminated in the execution of the HOA. Pursuant to the HOA, the actions described in items i) through vi) below have been taken in connection with the potential future transaction between Neqtar and us:
| i) | we will own all of the shares of Neqtar’s common stock; |
| | |
| ii) | we will lease, and eventually may purchase, certain facilities from Neqtar; |
| | |
| iii) | Neqtar will be obligated to purchase a specified amount of wine from us annually; |
| | |
| iv) | we will own certain of Neqtar’s inventory; |
| | |
| v) | we will grant Neqtar a security interest in substantially all of our assets and those assets acquired from Neqtar; and |
| | |
| vi) | we will own certain of Neqtar’s trademarks. |
In addition, Neqtar and we expect to make certain representations and warranties to each other in a definitive transaction document that is standard and customary in the wine industry for transactions. The Proposed Neqtar Transaction is subject to certain conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, the transfer of certain of SdS Beverages’ assets to Neqtar, satisfactory completion of certain due diligence regarding Neqtar and the Proposed Neqtar Transaction, a financing condition, receipt of an independent appraisal valuing Neqtar’s fair market value not less than $27 million in the aggregate, and the making of certain revisions to documents between Neqtar and Fosters.
In contemplation of the Proposed Neqtar Transaction or a similar future transaction, on June 6, 2008 we engaged an investment bank to advise and assist us in respect of the financing contingency for the Proposed Neqtar Transaction.
Effective as of March 18, 2009, we entered into a multi-party agreement to acquire the capital stock or assets of three premier New Zealand wineries: Lawson Dry Hills, Waimea Estates, and Gravitas Wines. The closing of the acquisitions and the transactions contemplated by such agreement is subject to our satisfactory completion of financial and business due diligence, our receipt of satisfactory financial statements of each of the wineries (in form and substance sufficient for our timely inclusion in a further Current Report on Form 8-K), the parties’ receipt of such financing as is required to consummate the acquisitions and, thereafter, to operate the acquired businesses in accordance with our business plan, and standard, usual, and customary closing conditions. The various parties will make certain representations and warranties to each other that are standard and customary in the wine industry for transactions of this size and magnitude.
As of February 15, 2009, we entered into a long-term License Agreement with GreatStone Wines Pty Ltd (“GreatStone”), pursuant to which GreatStone granted an exclusive, ten-year, renewable license to us for the names, designs, logos, and trademarks attached to the Koala Blue Wines in the United States and Canada. Koala Blue Wines is a brand founded in 1983 by Olivia Newton John and Pat Farrar.

THE FOLLOWING PRESENTATION OF OUR MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. Certain statements in this discussion and elsewhere in this report constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

Overview
On December 15, 2005, we entered into a purchase agreement with The Saint James Collection, LLC (an unaffiliated entity) to purchase a Limited Edition Animation Art Collection (the “Art Collection”) in exchange for 5,000,000 shares of our common stock. The 5,000,000 shares of common stock were valued at $0.01 per share for a total value of $50,000. We intended on marketing the Art Collection and establishing relationships with distributors to sell the art. Due to our limited resources, however, we were not able to pursue those business objectives and as of September 30, 2008, we concluded that the $50,000 previously attributable to the Art Collection had become fully impaired.
On October 21, 2008, we entered into a Heads of Agreement (the “HOA”) with Neqtar Wines PTY LTD (“Neqtar”), pursuant to which Neqtar and we agreed on certain potential terms of a potential future transaction. On March 17, 2008, Neqtar and Samson Investment Company (“Samson”) entered into a letter of intent (the “LOI”) setting forth certain terms of a proposed acquisition by Samson, or its nominee, of all of Neqtar’s outstanding shares of common stock.

Results of Operations
For the Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2009 compared to the Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2008
During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, and for the development stage, January 1, 1999 to March 31, 2009, we did not have any revenues.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, our general and administrative expenses were $12,646, in comparison with $81,264 for the prior period. All of such expenses were for professional fees, the majority of which in the prior period were the result of our becoming current in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and activities related to the assistance that we provided to a broker-dealer in its successful efforts to prosecute a Form 211 with the OTC Compliance Unit of FINRA to obtain authority to place quotations on the OTC Bulletin Board, and the three business opportunities we entered into during 2008 and early 2009. We also accrued $4,315 in interest expense during the current period and none in the prior period.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
At March 31, 2009, we had no assets. We had total liabilities of $369,700, all of which are current.
We will require additional equity and/or debt to pay our outstanding liabilities, to meet our ongoing operating expenses, and to satisfy the financial requirements of the proposed transactions with Neqtar and the New Zealand wineries, as well as to take advantage of our License Agreement with GreatStone. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain such funds on terms or at a time acceptable to us, or at all.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no off-balance sheet arrangements at March 31, 2009.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. Based on these evaluations, our certifying Officers have concluded, subject to the limitations noted below, that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q:
(a) Our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and
(b) Our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act was accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Certifying Officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely materially to affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
