Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and

Members of Sapphire Wines, LLC

and Emerald Wines, LLC

Franklin, Tennessee

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Sapphire Wines, LLC and Emerald Wines, LLC (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related combined statements of operations, changes in members’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended 2008 and for the period from March 20, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2007.  The Company’s management is responsible for these combined financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall combined financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended 2008 and for the period from March 20, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As described in Note 10, effective October 16, 2009, the Company entered into a membership interest purchase agreement to sell all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Company.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

Note 1 – Nature of operations

Sapphire Wines, LLC (“Sapphire”), a majority-owned subsidiary of Saphire Advisors, LLC, (“Advisor”), was established on March 20, 2007 (inception) in connection with the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities from Arciero Wine Group, LLC (See Note 3).

Emerald Wines, LLC (“Emerald”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Advisor, was established on February 27, 2008, in connection with the acquisition of certain assets from Briarcliff Wine Group, LLC (“Briarcliff”) (See Note 3).

Sapphire operates in the wine industry as a producer and marketer of wine, with a broad portfolio of brands across various wine categories, including:  “E”, Cupa Grandis, Eos Reserve, Eos Goddess, Lost Angel and Novella.  In March 2009, Emerald acquired the Caneros Creek and Wildhurst brands.  Sapphire and Emerald (the “Company”) distributes its products through wholesale distributors, major retail chains andlocally owned independent retail stores and restaurants across the United States and the world.  The Company considers its multiple brands to be one operating segment.

The Company is a Delaware Limited Liability Company.  The duration of the LLC is perpetual, subject to the provisions defined in the Company’s operating agreements.  Members are not ultimately liable for any debts or losses of the Company beyond such members’ capital contributions.  Transfers of members’ interests are limited to certain conditions as specified in the Company’s operating agreement.

The accompanying information for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 is unaudited and, in the opinion of management, contains all adjustments, which are all of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of financial position and results of operations for such periods.

The Company has included in its statement of operations costs that have been allocated from its parent company, Saphire Advisors, LLC.  Management believes the allocations underlying the combined statements of combined operations are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances.  The expenses and cost allocations have been determined on a consistent basis which management considers to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided or the benefit received by the Company during the periods presented.  The significant allocated expenses that have been incurred by Advisor and allocated to the Company primarily included administrative payrolls.  These expenses have been allocated to the Company based on a percentage of time spent on Company matters.  However, the amounts recorded for these transactions and allocations are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the combined financial statements had the Company been an entity that operated independently.  The amounts included are approximately $98,000 and $140,000, respectively.  The amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 are $70,000 and $142,000, respectively.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies

Principles of combination - The combined financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Sapphire Wines, LLC and Emerald Wine, LLC, since they have common ownership.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable - Accounts receivable consist of trade accounts receivable and are stated at cost, less an allowance for doubtful accounts. Credit is extended to customers after an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition.  Generally, collateral is not a required condition of credit extension.  Management’s determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an evaluation of the accounts receivable, past experience, current economic conditions, and other risks inherent in the accounts receivable portfolio.

Accounts receivable are written off when, in the opinion of management, such receivables are deemed to be uncollectible.  While management uses the best information available to make such evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in formulating the initial evaluation.  Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received.

Inventories - Inventories consist of raw materials, bulk wine, case goods, tax deposits, finished goods and tasting room inventory and are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

For Company produced wines, the annual crop and production costs relating to such wines are recognized as work-in-process inventories.  Such costs are accumulated with related direct and indirect harvest, wine processing and production costs, and are transferred to finished goods inventories when the wine is produced, bottled, and ready for sale.  For purchased wines, the supplier invoices the costs of the wine, including freight, which are recognized into finished goods inventories at the point of receipt.

In accordance with general practices in the wine industry, wine inventories are generally included in current assets in the accompanying balance sheet, although a portion of such inventories may be aged for more than one year.

Property, plant and equipment - - Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not significantly extend the useful lives of the related assets are charged to expense as incurred while expenditures for major improvements are capitalized.  Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective asset.  The costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts for property sold or retired, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the determination of operating income.

Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Property, plant and equipment (continued) -

A summary of the estimated useful lives follows:

	Years
Buildings		20
Leasehold improvements		10
Machinery & equipment		4
Furniture & fixtures		5-7
Vehicles		3
Barrels		3

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.

Intangible assets - The Company reviews its indefinite lived intangible assets annually for impairment, or sooner, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Indefinite lived intangible assets consist principally of trademarks.  The Company acquired its trademarks in an acquisition more fully disclosed in Note 3.

Revenue recognition - The Company recognizes revenue when products are shipped to customers and both the title and the risks and benefits of ownership are transferred, net of estimated allowances for product returns.  Revenue from items sold through the Company’s retail location is recognized at the time of sale.

Cost of goods sold - Costs of goods sold include costs associated with grape growing, external grape costs, packaging materials, winemaking and production costs, vineyard and production administrative support and overhead costs, purchasing and receiving costs and warehousing costs.

Income taxes - With the consent of its members’, the Company has elected to be taxed essentially as a partnership.  Accordingly, the Company’s net income or loss flows to the members’ respective tax returns, and no provision for income taxes is reflected in the financial statements.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes―an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”).  FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  It prescribes the minimum threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements.  FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  We adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 as required, and there was no material impact on the company’s financial statements.

Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Advertising costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.  Advertising costs totaled approximately $59,000 and $77,000 for the periods from March 20, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2007, year ended December 31, 2008, respectively, and $25,600 and $25,100 the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Shipping and handling costs - Shipping and handling costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.  These costs totaled approximately $26,700, $66,500, $10,500 and $42,500 for the period from March 20, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2007, year ended December 31, 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Concentrations of credit risk and other concentrations - Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, long-term debt, including capital leases and guaranteed payment and contingent consideration.  The carrying value of these instruments approximates fair value.

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions in the United States.  In October and November 2008 the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) temporarily increased coverage to $250,000 for substantially all depository accounts and temporarily provides unlimited coverage for certain qualifying and participating non-interest bearing transaction accounts.  The increased coverage is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2009, at which time it is anticipated amounts insured by the FDIC will return to $100,000.  During the year, the Company from time to time may have had amounts on deposit in excess of the insured limits.  As of year end, the Company had no amount which exceeded these insured amounts.

The Company has certain customers which exceeded 10% of total net sales for the period from March 20, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2007, year ended December 31, 2008 and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 as follows:

	Net Sales (unaudited)		Accounts Receivable at June 30, 2009 (unaudited)
Customer A	$	1,661,981	$	176,431
Customer B		1,535,109		257,157
	$	3,197,090	$	433,588

	Net Sales (unaudited)

Concentrations of credit risk and other concentrations (continued) -

	Net Sales		Accounts Receivable at December 31, 2008
Customer A	$	2,234,886	$	289,212
Customer B		1,321,252		170,617
	$	3,556,138	$	459,829

	Net Sales		Accounts Receivable at December 31, 2007
Customer A	$	1,694,733	$	190,721
Customer B		667,703		346,755
	$	2,362,436	$	537,476

A portion of the Company’s purchases are also concentrated among certain suppliers.  Two of the Company’s suppliers each accounted for more than 10% of total net purchases during the periods noted above.  Management believes it could, if necessary, obtain the same materials from other sources at prices not materially different than that paid under existing terms.

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 certain 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.

Fair value measurements - Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157, which establishes requirements regarding the disclosure of fair value information. SFAS 157 requires fair values to be disclosed based on three levels of input:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments the value of which is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Newly Issued Accounting Standards - In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations ("SFAS 141(R)") and SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 ("SFAS 160"). SFAS 141(R) changed how business acquisitions are accounted for and SFAS 160 changed the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (January 1, 2009 for the Company). The Company implemented SFAS 141(R) in the first quarter of 2009 and SFAS 160 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 ("FSP No. 157-2"), to partially defer SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). FSP No. 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after November 15, 2008.  FSP No. 157-2 was adopted in the first quarter of 2009.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 amends and expands disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies of derivative instruments, quantitative disclosures about the fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures of credit risk related contingent features in hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2009. Early adoption is prohibited; however, presentation and disclosure requirements must be retrospectively applied to comparative financial statements. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets ("FSP 142-3"). This guidance is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of the expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset when the underlying arrangement includes renewal or extension terms that would require substantial costs or result in a material modification to the asset upon renewal or extension. Companies estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must now consider their historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the absence of historical experience, must use consider assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension as adjusted for entity-specific factors. FSP 142-3 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of FSP 142-3 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued FAS No. 165, Subsequent Events ("SFAS 165"), which provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 requires public companies to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. SFAS 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and accordingly, the Company adopted the standard during the second quarter of 2009. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing these financial statements with the SEC.

Newly Issued Accounting Standards (continued) - FAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 ("SFAS 168"), which was issued by the FASB in June 2009, establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the "Codification") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. The Codification is effective for interim periods ending after September 15, 2009, and as of the effective date, all existing accounting standard documents will be superseded. The Codification is effective for the Company in the third quarter of 2009, and accordingly, all subsequent reporting will reference the Codification as the sole source of authoritative literature.

Note 6 – Line of credit and long-term debt (continued)

Notes payable (continued)

(A) - The Company executed a Renewal Promissory Note (the “Renewal”) on August 21, 2008 to the original Promissory Note dated July 31, 2007.  The Renewal amends certain of the terms stated in the original promissory note agreement.  As a result of the Renewal, the maturity date is the first of April 1, 2013 or the date, if any, on which the Company sells any of its interest in one or more of the beverage brands.  Interest on the outstanding principal balance bears interest from the date of the Renewal through and including December 31, 2008 at a rate equal to 9% per annum and commencing January 1, 2009, monthly installments of principal and interested based upon a ten year amortization schedule will be due and payable on the first day of each month through the maturity date at an interest rate equal to 12% per annum.  At June 30, 2009, approximately $73,500 in unpaid interest was added to the principal balance.  The entire outstanding principal balance together with all accrued but unpaid interest will be due and payable in full on the maturity date.

Certain of the loan agreements contain restrictive covenants that require, among other things, the Company to not incur any additional indebtedness without the prior consent of its lenders and distributions can not be made except for income tax purposes, and require the Company to submit audited financial statements acceptable to lender in a timely manner.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company was not in compliance with the loan covenants and was being charged the default rate of interest (18%) on each loan.  Since the Company was considered to be in default at December 31, 2008, all outstanding balances are classified as current on the balance sheet.

The Company, as of August 31, 2009, has been assessed approximately $383,000 in additional default interest related to these notes.

During 2008, the Company made certain improvements to various property, plant and equipment at EOS Estate Winery and related costs were reimbursed or paid by the same unrelated, third party noted above.  Because of these improvements, the initial consideration was increased by an amount equal to approximately $1,700,000. The rent was increased by an amount equal to the cost incurred by lessor in connection with these improvements  multiplied by the capitalization rate, as defined and set forth in the lease.

The Company maintains various profit-sharing plans under which eligible employees may contribute pre-tax dollars through salary deferral.  Substantially all employees are eligible to participate.  The Company matches 100% of employee contributions up to various amounts based on the entity.  The Company contributions to the plan were approximately $17,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, $37,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and $15,000 for the period March 20, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2007.

Note 9 – Commitments and contingencies

The Company also leases some of its machinery and equipment under non-cancelable capital and operating leases.  Most of these leases provide the Company with renewal and purchase options, and most leases of machinery and equipment have certain early cancellation rights.  Rent expense for these operating leases was $22,000, during the period from March 20, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2007, $7,839 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and $3,932 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

The Company entered into a Master Lease Agreement with Farm Credit Leasing Services Corporation (“FCL”) on December 17, 2008 for the financing of a Solar PV Tracking system, Solar PV Fixed Tilt system, and Solar Thermal system.  These solar systems will provide a majority of the future electricity and hot water for the Company’s EOS Estate Winery, reducing or replacing electrical and natural gas requirements from the public utility grids. Total cost of the equipment financed by FCL is $4,718,889 on a 10 year operating lease, with an expiration date of December 31, 2018.  The agreement calls for monthly payments that change on January and April of every year for the term of the agreement.  During the initial five years of the agreement, the Company will receive rebate and incentive payments from the State of California, through its California Solar Initiative.  Payments made under the lease are treated as rent expense, while the rebates are treated as offsets to those expenses.  The Company has an option at the end of the initial lease term to purchase the equipment and systems for $943,778 or to extend the lease for an additional 24 months at a monthly lease amount of $43,987 per month.
