PART 1

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

HISTORY OF COMPANY

As of March 9, 2005, the shareholders of Drinks America, Inc. ("DA"), acquired control of Gourmet Group, which had become a Delaware corporation and changed its name to Drinks Americas Holdings, Ltd. Prior to entering into this share exchange, as Gourmet Group, Inc. ("Gourmet Group"), we were a company pursuing the acquisition of various operating businesses since our sale of Jardine Foods, Inc., our previous operating entity, in May 2002. As described below, as of March 9, 2005, DA’s shareholders acquired approximately 87% of Gourmet Group's common stock in exchange for all of DA's outstanding common shares and DA’s business.

As of March 9, 2005, we, as Gourmet Group, issued an aggregate of approximately 42,963,792 shares of our common stock (or approximately 87.28% of the outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis) to DA's shareholders, an additional 1,800,000 total shares of our common stock (or approximately 3.66%) to two advisors to DA and a total of 400,000 shares of our common stock (or approximately .8%) to the four members of Maxmillian Mixers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company affiliated with DA ("Mixers"). Immediately prior to issuing such shares, the Company (which had previously been a Nevada corporation), by way of merger into a newly formed Delaware corporation, became a Delaware corporation, changed its name to Drinks Americas Holdings, Ltd., effectively reverse split its outstanding shares one-for-ten, and authorized up to 1,000,000 shares of "blank check" preferred stock in its new certificate of incorporation. In return for such issuances of shares, we, as Gourmet Group, received all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of DA and all of the membership interests in Mixers. Thus, DA and Mixers became our wholly-owned subsidiaries and the business of those subsidiaries constitutes substantially all of our operations at that time. Prior to the share exchange transaction described above, Maxmillian Partners, LLC ("Partners") owned approximately 99% of the outstanding capital stock of DA and immediately after the share exchange became our majority shareholder. Subsequently, Partners distributed its shares pro rata to its 21 members as part of a plan of liquidation. For financial accounting purposes, this share exchange has been recognized as a reverse merger, and accordingly we changed our fiscal year end from June 30 to DA's year end of April 30th, and all of our historical financial statements prior to the share exchange are those of DA.

OVERVIEW

Based in Wilton, Connecticut, we were founded in 2002 by an experienced team of beverage, entertainment, retail and consumer product industry professionals, led by J. Patrick Kenny, a former executive at Joseph E. Seagram & Sons. We specialize in the marketing and distribution of premium alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages with icon entertainers and celebrities.

We develop, produce (primarily through contracts with independent contractors called co-packers), market and/or distribute alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for sale primarily in the continental United States and have recently expanded our distribution network to certain international and duty free markets. While in certain cases we own the trademarks or have developed the formula for a product that we distribute, in other cases we only have the right to distribute the products and have been granted licenses of the trademark to allow us to do so.

We own certain of our products jointly with celebrities, or their affiliates. We refer to all of the products we distribute as "our products" throughout this report.

Over the past 12 months we have acquired and developed additional brands and distributed existing products, and reallocated marketing support for certain of these brands. Our production capacity is primarily through third party independent contract packers known as "co-packers". The expansion of our business has been negatively affected by insufficient working capital. As a result, we have regularly made judgments as to inventory levels in general and whether to maintain inventory for any particular product based on available working capital, rather than maintaining the optimum levels required to grow our business. We have tried to focus on the most efficient growth opportunities. We will continue to carefully manage our working capital and focus on brand and business opportunities that we believe offer the most strategic sense and most efficient return on investment. We expect that business decisions will continue to be influenced by the availability of working capital.

Our strategy is to take advantage of icon celebrity brands and the strategic relationships our management team has developed throughout their careers. We distribute our products through established distributors, virtually all of which are well known to our management team from prior business dealings with them in the beverage industry. We have expanded the number of distributors we do business with in certain markets where we believe it is appropriate. Our distributors buy our products from us for resale. Our products are produced by independent co-packers, typically, pursuant to our specifications. Our management's relationships with manufacturers, distillers, development/research companies, bottling concerns and certain customers provide the foundation through which we expect to grow our business in the future.

We have assembled, and will attempt to continue to assemble, our premium brands, on a "low cost" basis. We believe acquisition of mid-sized brands and single trademark companies can be accomplished at extremely efficient "price multiples" in relation to their existing volume. We are willing to develop these brands with their original owners on a cooperative economic basis and share with them marketing, production, distribution contacts and other relationships and the sophistication of our management team. We believe that the "skill-set" of our management team is a primary asset in the development of our acquired brands and trademarks. We have acquired products or trademarks from, or entered into ventures with, partners such as Trump Marks LLC, Kid Rock, Willie Nelson, Bo Dietl, Dr. Dre, Wynn Starr Flavors, Inc., Old Whiskey River, LLC, DAS Communications, Interscope Geffen A&M, Rheingold Beer, Newman's Own, Inc., Paul Newman's Beverages, Marvin Traub Associates,. and Damiana S.A. Several of the brands that we have acquired have the strategic advantage of association with "icon" entertainers which provide us efficient promotion and marketing opportunities. We believe the public relations impact of our association with these icons and the resulting media opportunities cuts across electronic, social media and print media formats and delivers an exponential impact in building brand awareness and consumer excitement. Moreover, our focus is primarily on premium high margin, unique premium priced goods.

We believe that our organizational approach will also minimize the need to invest heavily in fixed assets or factories and will allow us to operate with modest overhead because of the historic relationship between members of our management team and co-packers, distilling and bottling and production firms and other industry participants.

We also rely on distributors who handle direct store delivery sales, which also allows us to control our overhead. We have formed an independent network of contract sales and regional managers, a promotional support team and several market segment specialists who are paid on a variable basis.

We currently market and distribute, and in most cases also produce (through co-packers), 8 unique beverage brands.

Our major alcoholic beverages are:

Olifant Vodka, which is manufactured at the Wenneker Distillery in Holland where it has been manufactured since 1841, was rated by the New York Times as the second best Vodka in the world; Trump Super Premium Vodka, produced in Holland, a product developed by master distiller Jacques de Lat which was awarded a Four Star Highly Recommended Rating from Paul Pacult in a respected spirits journal and received a “90-95”, “Superb Highly Recommended” rating from the respected Wine Enthusiast Magazine in its March 2008 Buying Guide issue; Trump Flavored Vodka, , crafted at the Wanders Distillery in Holland, is comprised of Trump Premium Citron, Grape, Orange, and Raspberry, distilled with all natural fruit flavors combined with the award-winning Trump Super Premium Vodka with Trump Grape Vodka receiving Best in Show Platinum Medal at the prestigious World Spirits and Beverage Competition in Geneva Switzerland; Old Whiskey River Bourbon (R), an award winning small batch 6 year old bourbon (sometimes referred to in this Report as "Old Whiskey River "); Aguila Tequila, a 100% tequiliana weber blue agave reposado tequila (sometimes referred to in this Report as "Aguila"); Damiana, a Mexican liqueur made from the Damiana root and at times given in Mexican culture as a wedding gift because of its perceived aphrodisiac characteristics; In addition, the Company imports Leyrat Estate Bottled Cognac from the 200 year old distillery in Cognac in association with Grammy Award winning artist and producer Dr Dre and Interscope Records , As part of our joint venture with Kid Rock the Company has formed “American Badass Beer Company” and will soon launch Kid Rock’s Badass American Lager.

Our Company is a Delaware corporation, our principal place of business is located at 372 Danbury Road, Suite 163, Wilton, Connecticut 06897 and our telephone number is (203) 762-7000.

STRATEGY

Our long-term business strategy is to expand the sales and distribution of our celebrity and icon alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage portfolio and to add branded beverage products into the largest and most profitable beverage categories. Our business model takes into account the limited working capital available for expansion of our business by leveraging the impact celebrities have in generating public relations and consumer awareness for our brands across all media platforms at comparatively low cost and investment. We often refer to entertainers and celebrities as “icons” in this report.

Key elements of our business strategy include: creating consumer awareness and demand for our brands utilizing our icon brand strategy and the demonstrated ability of celebrities to generate public relations and promotional brand marketing activity at low cost; promoting our relationships with Interscope Records. Donald Trump and Willie Nelson as well as additional entertainers introduced to us through the relationships we have developed with Interscope Geffen A&M, of Universal Music Group including Dr. Dre and Kid Rock; capitalizing on our distribution relationships with key distributors such as Phoenix Beehive, which distributes Heineken beer in metro New York and targeting other key distribution relationships such as Charmer Florida, Johnson Brothers nationally and other key relationships.

Since we were founded in 2002, the implementation of our business plan has been negatively effected by the limited amount of working capital available to us Our working capital position improved as a result of our June 2009 Debt Financing and October 2008 Warrant Re-Pricing. We will continue to carefully manage our working capital and focus on our celebrity and icon brand strategy relying on public relations and strategically leveraging our marketing and production partners’ resources and notoriety in order to implement our growth strategy while also focusing on our current brand portfolio.

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE DISTRIBUTION

We have a network of approximately 50 alcohol beverage distributors covering substantially all of the states within the United States. Our distributors buy our products from us for resale. We believe our most important distribution relationships include Phoenix Beehive the metro New York Heineken Beer distributor, Republic Beverage Co. and F.P. Winner . We believe our products are given greater priority by many of our distributors than they would be given by larger spirits and wine distributors which sell a substantially larger number of premium spirits. Phoenix Beverages, Republic Beverage Co and F.P. Winner., alcohol distributors, including affiliates, accounted for approximately 15.6% , 6.8% and 8.9%, respectively, of our sales in fiscal 2009.

BEER, WINE AND SPIRITS INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The United States beverage alcohol market consists of three distinct segments:

Beer, wine and distilled spirits. Distilled spirits consist of three primary categories: white goods, whiskey and specialties. White goods, consisting of vodka, rum, gin and tequila, represents the largest category. Vodka is the largest product within the distilled spirits. Despite a slowing economy, the distilled spirits industry chartered its ninth consecutive year of growth in 2008, with sales increasing 2.8 percent, totaling $18.7 billion , and volume rising 1.6 percent. While the segment’s growth slowed considerable from last year’s 5.6 percent revenue gain, the spirits industry has proven its resilience in the face of challenging economic times. Spirits also managed to hold onto its 33 percent market share of the total beverage alcoholic category. Significant consolidation in the global spirits industry has produced five primary large competitors: Diageo, Allied Domecq, Pernod Ricard, Brown-Forman and Bacardi & Company, Ltd.

The overall beer category’s growth slowed in 2008 most likely due to the faltering economy which may have bolstered the lower-price beer segments. Light beers and economy beers, which had been taking a hit, saw improvement in 2008. The domestic beer market was up 0.5 percent by volume, down from 2007’s 1.5 percent growth and 2006’s 2.2 percent gain. Total domestic beer was up 1.1 percent. Imports continued to decline dropping 3 percent, due to pricing and the weak economy. The past year the segment saw massive change due to global consolidation lead by Belgium based InBev’s acquisition of US brewing giant Anheuser-Busch, as well as SABMiller and Coors Brewing also forming a joint venture.

PRODUCTS, ACQUISTIONS AND ALLIANCES

CELEBRITY AND ICON BASED BRANDS

We are executing a "celebrity and icon" based brand strategy, which we believe will enhance consumer acceptance, lower ongoing marketing costs and strengthen our access to distribution channels. We have entered into several ventures with icon entertainers. Our business model leverages consumer identification with these iconic personalities, leveraging social media platforms to quickly and effectively communicating a brand message. We believe the public relations impact of our association with these icons and the resulting media opportunities cuts across electronic and print media formats and delivers an exponential impact in building brand awareness and consumer excitement.

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PRODUCTS

The alcoholic products distributed by the Company are Olifant Vodka, Trump Super Premium Vodka, Trump flavored vodka, Old Whiskey River Bourbon, Aguila Tequila, Damiana, Leyrat Cognac, and the most recently introduced, Kid Rock’s American BadAss Beer.

In June 2009, in partnership with Kid Rock, the Company formed a limited liability company (LLC) in which it is has a 50% interest and is the managing member. The LLC has the license rights to distribute Kid Rock’s BadAss Beer on a worldwide basis for a term of five years commencing the earlier of, 90 days from the date of the agreement or when the product is first sold, with an option to renew for an additional five years.

On January 15, 2009, the Company acquired 90% of the capital stock of Olifant U.S.A, Inc. (“Olifant”) , Olifant has the worldwide distribution rights (other than Europe) to Olifant Vodka and Olifant Gin which are both produced in Holland. Olifant Vodka made purely from hand selected Dutch grains, is triple distilled in small batches in the distillery’s original copper potstills and aged for a smooth refreshing finish that is world class. It is an award-winning spirit with great quality and taste at a price point that is economically attractive in today’s retail environment This summer, the Company launched the “Blazed and Confused Olifant Vodka Tour” with Snoop Dog and Slightly Stoopid which sold out in 32 cities nationwide and exposed over 100,000 consumers to Olifant Vodka’s “Summer Party”

In February 2008 we entered into a joint venture with Grammy Award-winning producer and artist, Dr. Dre. The Company and Dr. Dre have formed the joint venture to identify, develop, and market premium alcoholic beverages, The deal is under the umbrella of the agreement between the Company and Interscope Geffen A&M Records. Our Leyrat Cognac is the joint ventures’ first beverage. In January 2009 the Company launched its Leyrat Estate Bottled Cognac which it imports from a 200 year old distillery in Cognac France. The Company granted 10% of its 50% interest in the brand to the producer of the product , leaving us with a 45% interest, in return for the rights to distribute the product in the United States. The Company has 5% of the rights for the brand in Europe.

In December 2002, we purchased 25% interest in Old Whiskey River Distilling Company, LLC which owns or licenses the related trademarks and trade names associated with the Old Whiskey River products. We hold the exclusive worldwide distribution rights, through December 31, 2017, subject to an indefinite number of five-year renewals, for Old Whiskey River Bourbon which is marketed in association with Willie Nelson, a renowned country western entertainer. Our distribution agreement is subject to certain minimum sales requirements. Old Whiskey River Bourbon has been featured on Food Channel's Emeril Live as well as Celebrity Food Finds and other television programs. This line of products is available nationally at the Texas Roadhouse Restaurant chain as well as other outlets with specific Willie Nelson promotions. Old Whiskey River is a featured item at Specs chain of liquor stores in Texas . We have developed a marketing plan that focuses on Florida, North and South Carolina and Texas where Willie Nelsons’ brand image is high and bourbon consumption is significant.

We own a 55% interest in the trademark for Aguila Tequila, a premium 100% Blue Agave Tequila, produced by El Viejito distillery in Mexico, which is marketed with its icon label, the North American Eagle. We have the exclusive distribution rights for this product throughout the world except for Mexico. We began distributing this product in November, 2003. We distribute Aquila Tequila on a national basis in approximately 40 states. We have expanded the selections of Aguila from one sku of Repasado to Silver, Repasado and Anejo selections with distinctive bottle designs for each price selection.

In fiscal year 2005 we entered into a U.S. distribution contract giving us the exclusive sales and marketing rights to Damiana a Hispanic liquor for the United States market. We distribute this product on a national basis in approximately 35 states. We are pleased with the market reception to this product. We have introduced point of sale marketing material aimed at expanding consumer brand awareness for Damiana.

In October 2005, we acquired ownership of a long-term license for (188 years) for the Rheingold trademark and other assets related to the Rheingold brand. We believe Rheingold has a significant brand identity and awareness level within the Metro New York and east coast markets. We believe this brand has the potential to be an integral component of our Metro New York distribution base and with the commencement of our Kid Rock beer, more cost effective to produce and distribute. At this time, we have no specific launch date and the roll-out of this product will depend on our working capital position and the projected return on the marketing investment required to launch this product.

In fiscal 2005, we formed Drinks Global Imports, LLC ("DGI"), in which we own 90% of the outstanding membership units. This company imports premium wines from around the world, and has to date focused on wines from France and Italy. DGI commenced operations in September, 2005. As a result of the Company’s strategy to focus on our more profitable sprits brands and beer business with the impending launch of Kid Rock’s Beer the Company expects to have only a very limited business in wine on an opportunistic basis.

In November 2005, we signed a license agreement with Trump Mark, LLC to utilize the name Trump, until November 15, 2013, in connection with super premium vodka. The formula for this product was developed by master distiller Jacq DeLac. Bruni Glass, Italy, designed a proprietary bottle for Trump Super Premium Vodka and Milton Glaser designed a bottle decoration. The product was unveiled at the 2006 Wine and Spirits Wholesalers convention. We launched Trump Super Premium Vodka on October 28, 2006 in the metro New York market. We subsequently expanded distribution to 46 states. The product has been sold through several key distributors including Phoenix Distribution. Trump Super Premium Vodka was awarded a Four Star Highly Recommended Rating from Paul Pacult in a respected spirits journal and received a “90-95”, “Superb Highly Recommended” rating from the respected Wine Enthusiast Magazine in its March 2008 Buying Guide issue; Trump Flavored Vodka, which we began selling in February 2008, are crafted at the Wanders Distillery in Holland, is comprised of Trump Premium Citron, Grape, Orange, and Raspberry, distilled with all natural fruit flavors combined with the award-winning Trump Super Premium Vodka with Trump Grape Vodka receiving Best in Show Platinum Medal at the prestigious World Spirits and Beverage Competition in Geneva Switzerland.

FLAVORS, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT RELATIONSHIP

We have a requirements contract with Wynn Starr Flavors, Inc. ("Wynn Starr"), a leading supplier of flavors and similar product components through which, with certain exceptions, we are required to acquire the flavors we require for our products. Wynn Starr performs research and development for us with respect to the flavors we need for new and/or proposed products. Wynn Starr became a DA shareholder by investing $250,000 in DA in 2002, and, under its agreement with us, has provided research and development services for us thereby lessening the expenses we would otherwise incur. The relationship has been essential to us, and provides a significant research resource at relatively low cost, e.g. developing drinks for targeted markets. We expect that certain of our new products will utilize patents developed and licensed by Wynn Starr. Wynn Starr has also assisted us in evaluating the product quality of various brands which we have considered acquiring and/or distributing. Our incremental product development expenses to date have not been material.

CELEBRITY MARKETING RESOURCES

We intend to continue to utilize our access to icon celebrity-based product endorsers, through the contacts of our management and various advisors, to further promote the branded identity of certain of the beverages we will develop or acquire.

We have entered into agreements with DAS Communications, Ltd. and Shep Gordon of Alive Enterprises. Both David Sonenberg, who controls DAS Communications, Ltd., and Shep Gordon are our shareholders. We have also entered into a joint venture (50% each) with Interscope Geffen A&M, of Universal Music Group, to commercialize and market jointly owned alcoholic and non alcoholic beverage products in collaboration with artists under contract with Interscope Geffen A&M. The collaboration with Interscope has resulted in our agreement with the Grammy award winning producer and artist, Dr. Dre . We believe that these persons can provide access to entertainment personalities and will help us to develop and access unique marketing and promotional opportunities in spirits and beverages. Our relationship with Shep Gordon has resulted in agreements with country music "icon" Willie Nelson and access to various culinary icons and introductions to other promotional resources. Although our agreement with Mr. Gordon, which we entered into in December 2002, terminated in June 2009 we believe he will continue to be an advisor to the Company.

TRADEMARK DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES

In March 2002, we entered into a consulting agreement with Marvin Traub, former Chief Executive Officer of the Bloomingdales' department store chain, and an expert in trademark development. Mr. Traub provides ongoing advice and marketing expertise to us pursuant to us under this agreement. He also serves on our Board of Directors.

MARKETING, SALES AND DISTRIBUTION

MARKETING

Our marketing plan is based upon our strategy of icon branding. We successfully launched Trump Super Premium Vodka by using the public relations activity across numerous media platforms to generate a high level of brand awareness and consumer interest. This model has also been used for Old Whiskey River Bourbon and Paul Newmans Sparkling Fruit Beverages and now for our Olifant Vodka and Kid Rock’s BadAss Beer. Our marketing and pricing policies and programs take into consideration competitors' prices and our perception of what a consumer is willing to pay for the particular brand and product in the retail environment. Our goal is to competitively price our products with the other comparable premium brands and provide a higher quality product at the selected price points. We believe our Icon strategy supports category premium pricing.

Our marketing for our alcoholic brands focuses on building brand recognition with our distributors with the goal of a regional and, if demand warrants, a national roll-out of most of our products, focusing on population centers. Our marketing of our non-alcoholic brands has been focused on building the brands recognition initially in the New York metropolitan area at the retail level and generally developing market profile through promotion tasting at retail distribution locations. Our marketing plan contemplates expanding distribution to the east and west coast regions, focusing on population centers. Newman's Own has been promoted with consumer tastings, tee-shirt promotions and consumer trials. Our marketing efforts in support of our non-alcoholic brands focuses largely on promotion at key distribution points prior to the peak summer demand period.

SALES

Our products are sold predominantly in the continental United States primarily in the beverage sections of liquor stores, grocery stores, drug stores, convenience stores, delicatessens, sandwich shops and supermarkets. Many of our beverage products are sold nationally and our distribution model, depending on the product, includes several national and regional chains, for example, Trump Super Premium Vodka is sold at Ralphs in California, and Walgreen's, ABC Liquor, Albertsons and various other retail chains. Old Whiskey River is sold nationally at Texas Roadhouse and at Specs in Texas. Newmans sparkling fruit beverages and waters are currently sold at several hundred grocery and retail chain stores including Raley’s Food Stores, Shaws, ShopRite, Price Choppers, and Key Food.

DISTRIBUTION

We sell the majority of our products through our distribution network, and we currently have relationships with approximately 75 independent distributors throughout North America. Our policy is to grant our distributors rights to sell particular brands within a defined territory. Our distributors buy our products from us for resale. We believe that substantially all of our distributors also carry beverage products of our competitors. Our agreements with our distributors vary; we have entered into written agreements with a number of our top distributors for varying terms; most of our other distribution relationships are oral (based solely on purchase orders) and are terminable by either party at will.

We generally require our independent distributors to place purchase orders for our products at least 14 days in advance of requested shipping dates. To the extent we have product available in inventory, we will fulfill other purchase orders when and as received. We and our distributors typically contract with independent companies to have product shipped from our contract packers to independent warehouses, and then on to our distributors. Distributors then sell and deliver our products either to sub-distributors or directly to retail outlets, and such distributors or sub-distributors stock the retailers' shelves with our products. We recognize revenue upon shipment to our distributors and customers of our products, net of anticipated discounts and allowances. All sales are final and we have a "no return" policy, although we occasionally accept returned products.

PRODUCTION

CONTRACT PACKING ARRANGEMENTS

We currently use independent contract packers known as "co-packers" to prepare, bottle and package our products. Currently, our primary contract packers are WV Wanders in Holland, Wenneker Distilleries also in Holland, Francis Abecassis in Cognac France, Heaven Hill Distilleries in Kentucky, Cold Spring Brewing Company in Minnesota, Tequila El Viejito S.A. in Guadalajara, Mexico, and Damiana S.A. Mexico. We have an option to acquire WV Wanders production facility in Holland. WV Wanders produces Trump Super Premium Vodka and Trump Flavors. In the event our relationship with any of our co-packers is terminated, we believe we could replace the co-packer with another of comparable quality. However, in such, case our business would be disrupted until a replacement co-packer was identified and commenced production.

We continually review our contract packing needs in light of regulatory compliance and logistical requirements and may add or change co-packers based on those needs. We rely on and believe our co-packers comply with applicable environmental laws.

As is customary in the contract packing industry, we are expected to arrange for our contract packing needs sufficiently in advance of anticipated requirements. Accordingly, it is our business practice to require our independent distributors to place their purchase orders for our products at least 14 days in advance of shipping. Other than minimum case volume requirements per production run, we do not have any minimum production requirements.

RAW MATERIALS

Substantially all of the raw materials used in the preparation, bottling and packaging of our products are purchased by us or by our contract packers in accordance with our specifications. Typically, we rely on our contract packers to secure raw materials that are not unique to us. The raw materials used in the preparation and packaging of our products consist primarily of spirits, flavorings, concentrate, glass, labels, caps and packaging. These raw materials are purchased from suppliers selected by us or in concert with our co-packers or by the respective supplier companies. Bottle production for Trump Super Premium Vodka and Trump flavored vodka transferred to China at the end of fiscal 2008. We consider World Enterprises Sino, Ltd, which now supplies the bottles for Trump Super Premium Vodka to be a significant suppliers of raw materials, because they supply specialty products. We believe that we have adequate sources of raw materials, which are available from multiple suppliers.

QUALITY CONTROL

We attempt to use quality ingredients for our products. We seek to ensure that all of our products satisfy our quality standards. Contract packers are selected and monitored by our Chief Operating Officer in an effort to assure adherence to our production procedures and quality standards. Samples of our products from each production run undertaken by each of our contract packers are analyzed and categorized in a reference library.

For every run of product, our contract packers undertake extensive on-line testing of product quality and packaging. For our non-alcoholic products this includes testing levels of sweetness, carbonation, taste, product integrity, packaging and various regulatory cross checks. Similar product testing is done on our wines and spirits. For each product, the contract packer must transmit all quality control test results to us upon request. We believe that, working in concert with our internal management, the food scientist resources of Newman's Own and Wynn Starr Flavors, and the in-house quality control mechanisms of our winery and distillery partners assure that our standards are at least equal to those established in the industry.

Testing at each of our co-packers generally includes microbiological checks and other tests to ensure the production facilities for our products meet the standards and specifications of our quality assurance program. We believe the production facilities inspection programs are at least equal to industry standards. We request that water quality be monitored during production and at scheduled testing times to ensure compliance with applicable government regulatory requirements. Flavors are sourced from only qualified manufacturers. We are committed to an on-going program of product improvement with a view toward ensuring high quality of our products.

We believe we select only those suppliers that use only quality components. We have a full-time senior executive who oversees all production processes with respect to product distilling. We also inspect packaging suppliers' production facilities and monitor their product quality.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

The production and marketing of our licensed and proprietary alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages are subject to the rules and regulations of various Federal, provincial, state and local health agencies, including in particular the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and the U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau ("TTB"). The FDA and TTB also regulate labeling of our products. From time to time, we may receive notification of various technical labeling or ingredient reviews with respect to our products. We believe that we have a compliance program in place to ensure compliance with production, marketing and labeling regulations on a going-forward basis. There are no regulatory notifications or actions currently outstanding. We have a specific manager with direct responsibility to insure regulatory compliance and retain a regulatory law firm that oversees our submissions to various agencies.

TRADEMARKS, FLAVOR CONCENTRATE TRADE SECRETS AND PATENTS

We own a number of trademarks, including, in the United States, "Drinks Americas" (TM), “Olifant “(TM), "Cohete" (TM), "Swiss T"(TM), " "Screaming Monkey" (TM) and "Aguila" (TM), Casa BoMargo (TM). Trademarks have been filed and pending with no opposition for Drinks Americas (TM), "Monte Verde"(TM) and "Corcovado"(TM). In addition, we have trademark protection in the United States for a number of other trademarks for slogans and product designs, including "The Rooster Has Landed"(R), "Party Harder"(TM), Success Distilled (TM) and The World's Finest Super Premium Vodka (TM).

We also own, indirectly as a member of a limited liability company, an interest in the "Old Whiskey River" trademark. We also license the Rheingold trademark. We have a license from Newman's Own to use the Newman's Own trademark in the marketing and selling of Newman's Own Lightly Sparkling Fruit Juices. We also have a license from Trump Mark, LLC to use the Trump trademark in the marketing and sale of Trump Super Premium Vodka and Trump flavors.

In November 2005 the Company entered into an eight-year license agreement for sales of Trump Super Premium Vodka. Under the agreement the Company is required to pay royalties on sales of the licensed product. The agreement requires minimal royalty payments through November 2012 which if not paid could result in termination of the license. The Company is currently in default under the terms of its license agreement with Trump Marks LLC. The licensor has the right to terminate the license, but at present has not formally asserted that right. The Company under a non documented arrangement with the licensor is continuing to sell the product. The Copany and licensor are currently in discussion to amend the agreement under mutually beneficial terms.

Under our license agreement for Old Whiskey River, we are obligated to pay royalties of between $10 and $33 per case, depending on the size of the bottle. Our Rheingold license requires us to pay the licensor $3 per barrel for domestic sales and $10.33 for foreign sales. Under our license agreement for Damaina

Liqueur we are obligated to pay $3 per case thereafter. Under our license agreement with Aguila Tequila we are obligated to pay $3 per case.

Under our joint ventures agreement with Dr. Dre and Interscope Records, which includes our Leyrat Cognac, we are obligated to pay a percentage of gross profits, less certain direct selling expenses.

We license our Kid Rock related trademarks, indirectly as a member of a limited liability company (the “LLC”). The license requires the LLC to pay the licensor a per case royalty (or equivalent liquid volume), with certain minimum royalties for years 2 through 5 of the agreement payable on the first day of the applicable year.

We consider our trademarks, patent and trade secrets to be of considerable value and importance to our business. No successful challenges to our registered trademarks have arisen and we have no reason to believe that any such challenges will arise in the future.

COMPETITION

The beverage industry is highly competitive. We compete with other beverage companies, most of which have significantly more sales, significantly more resources and which have been in business for much longer than we have. We compete with national and regional beverage producers and "private label" suppliers. Some of our alcohol competitors are Diageo, Pernod Ricard, Brown-Forman, Castle Brands, Allied Biomes and Bacardi & Company, Ltd. On the non-alcoholic front, some of our direct competitors include Cadbury Schweppes (which produces Snapple and Mystic among other brands) Camper, Boylands and Hansens. We believe it is a costly and difficult for large companies to create new brands. As a result, we believe opportunities exist for smaller companies to develop high-quality, high-margin brands, which can grow to be very attractive acquisition candidates for the larger companies.

EMPLOYEES

As of July 31, 2009, we had eight full-time employees and an additional one persons, who is an independent contractors working for us. No employee is represented by a labor union. The independent contractor and one of our employees have executed contracts with us.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Investment in the Company involves a high degree of risk. Before you invest you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and other information and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. If any of the events described below actually occur, our operating results would be dramatically adversely affected, which in turn could cause the price of our common stock to decline, perhaps significantly. Further, we may not be able to continue our operations. This means you could lose all or a part of your investment.

CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

FACTORS RELATING TO OUR COMPANY AND OUR BUSINESS

WE ARE A DEVELOPING COMPANY AND OUR PROSPECTS MUST BE CONSIDERED IN LIGHT OF OUR SHORT OPERATING HISTORY AND SHORTAGE OF WORKING CAPITAL.

We are a developing company with a very short operating history, having been incorporated in September 2002. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by developing companies, including dealing with a shortage of necessary funds in the very competitive marketplace in which the alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage business is carried on, as well as the many risks commonly anticipated or experienced by mature companies. Our ability to operate as a going concern and to achieve profitable operations will be dependent on such factors as the success of our business model and marketing strategy, market penetration of existing products, competition, future brand additions, continued development of distribution relationships and the availability of financing. No assurance can be given that we will be able successfully to develop our business under the foregoing conditions.

WE RELY HEAVILY ON OUR INDEPENDENT DISTRIBUTORS, AND THIS COULD AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO EFFICIENTLY AND PROFITABLY DISTRIBUTE AND MARKET OUR PRODUCTS, AND MAINTAIN OUR EXISTING MARKETS AND EXPAND OUR BUSINESS INTO OTHER GEOGRAPHIC MARKETS.

Our ability to establish a market for our brands and products in new geographic distribution areas, as well as maintain and expand our existing markets, is dependent on our ability to establish and maintain successful relationships with reliable independent distributors strategically positioned to serve those areas. Many of our larger distributors sell and distribute competing products, including non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, and our products may represent a small portion of their business. To the extent that our distributors are distracted from selling our products or do not expend sufficient efforts in managing and selling our products, our sales will be adversely affected. Our ability to maintain our distribution network and attract additional distributors will depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. Some of these factors include: (i) the level of demand for our brands and products in a particular distribution area; (ii) our ability to price our products at levels competitive with those offered by competing products and (iii) our ability to deliver products in the quantity and at the time requested by distributors.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to meet all or any of these factors in any of our current or prospective geographic areas of distribution. Further, shortage of adequate working capital may make it impossible for us to do so. Our inability to achieve any of these factors in a geographic distribution area will have a material adverse effect on our relationships with our distributors in that particular geographic area, thus limiting our ability to maintain and expand our market, which will likely adversely effect our revenues and financial results.

WE GENERALLY DO NOT HAVE LONG-TERM AGREEMENTS WITH OUR DISTRIBUTORS, AND WE EXPEND SIGNIFICANT TIME AND MAY NEED TO INCUR SIGNIFICANT EXPENSE IN ATTRACTING AND MAINTAINING KEY DISTRIBUTORS.

Our marketing and sales strategy presently, and in the future, will rely on the performance of our independent distributors and our ability to attract additional distributors. We have entered into written agreements with certain of our distributors for varying terms and duration; however, most of our distribution relationships are informal (based solely on purchase orders) and are terminable by either party at will. We currently do not have, nor do we anticipate in the future that we will be able to establish, long-term contractual commitments from many of our distributors. In addition, despite the terms of the written agreements with certain of our significant distributors, we have no assurance as to the level of performance under those agreements, or that those agreements will not be terminated. There is also no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current distribution relationships or establish and maintain successful relationships with distributors in new geographic distribution areas. Moreover, there is the additional possibility that we will have to incur significant expenses to attract and maintain key distributors in one or more of our geographic distribution areas in order to profitably exploit our geographic markets. We may not have sufficient working capital to allow us to do so.

BECAUSE OUR DISTRIBUTORS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PLACE MINIMUM ORDERS WITH US, WE NEED TO CAREFULLY MANAGE OUR INVENTORY LEVELS, AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO PREDICT THE TIMING AND AMOUNT OF OUR SALES.

Our independent distributors are not required to place minimum monthly, quarterly or annual orders for our products. In order to reduce their inventory costs, our independent distributors maintain low levels of inventory which, depending on the product and the distributor, range from 15 to 45 days of typical sales volume in the distribution area. We believe that our independent distributors endeavor to order products from us in such quantities, at such times, as will allow them to satisfy the demand for our products in the distribution area. Accordingly, there is no assurance as to the timing or quantity of purchases by any of our independent distributors or that any of our distributors will continue to purchase products from us in the same frequencies and volumes as they may have done in the past. Our goal is to maintain inventory levels for each of our products sufficient to satisfy anticipated purchase orders for our products from our distributors, which is difficult to estimate. This places burdens on our working capital which has been limited since we began operations. As a result, we have not consistently been able to maintain sufficient inventory levels and may not be able to do so in the future.

As is customary in the contract packing industry for small companies, we are expected to arrange for the production of our products sufficiently in advance of anticipated requirements. To the extent demand for our products exceeds available inventory and the capacities available under our contract packing arrangements, or orders are not submitted on a timely basis, we will be unable to fulfill distributor orders on a timely basis. Conversely, we may produce more products than warranted by actual demand, resulting in higher storage costs and the potential risk of inventory spoilage. Our failure to accurately predict and manage our contract packaging requirements may impair relationships with our independent distributors, which, in turn, would likely have a material adverse effect on our ability to maintain relationships with those distributors.

THE BANKRUPTCY, CESSATION OF OPERATIONS, OR DECLINE IN BUSINESS OF A SIGNIFICANT DISTRIBUTOR COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR REVENUES, AND COULD RESULT IN INCREASED COSTS IN OBTAINING A REPLACEMENT.

If any of our primary distributors were to stop selling our products or decrease the number of cases purchased, our revenues and financial results could be adversely affected. There can be no assurance that, in the future, we will be successful in finding new or replacement distributors if any of our existing significant distributors discontinue our brands, cease operations, file for bankruptcy or terminate their relationship with us.

WE HAVE NOT SATISFIED CERTAIN OF OUR COMMITMENTS UNDER DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS, WHICH ENTITLE US TO DISTRIBUTE CERTAIN OF OUR PRODUCTS. IF ANY OF THESE AGREEMENTS WERE CANCELLED IT WOULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS.

Our rights to distribute certain of our products are generally governed by distribution agreements which contain minimum sales targets and other requirements some of which we have not satisfied to date. Therefore virtually all of our distribution contracts can be cancelled. We rely on our relationships with the parties who have granted us distribution rights rather than contractual protection. Cancellation of one or more of our distribution contracts would have a material adverse effect on our business.

WE NEED TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE OUR GROWTH AND THE EXECUTION OF OUR BUSINESS PLAN. ANY FAILURE TO DO SO WOULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR RESULTS.

To manage operations effectively, we must improve our operational, financial and other management processes and systems. We have a small staff and our success also depends on our ability to maintain high levels of employee efficiency, to manage our costs in general and administrative expense in particular, and otherwise to efficiently execute our business plan. We need to cost-efficiently add new brands and products, develop and expand our distribution channels, and efficiently implement our business strategies. There are no assurances that we will be able to effectively and efficiently manage our growth. Any inability to do so, could increase our expenses and negatively impact the results of our operations.

THE LOSS OF KEY PERSONNEL WOULD DIRECTLY AFFECT OUR EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMIC RESULTS.

We are dependent upon the creative skills and leadership of our founder, J. Patrick Kenny, who serves as our President and Chief Executive Officer and upon the management, financial and operational skills of Jason Lazo, our Chief Operating Officer. The loss of the services of either Mr. Kenny, or Mr. Lazo could have a material adverse affect on our business and operations, including our ability to develop and execute a long-term, profitable business plan. Due to inadequate working capital, we have often not paid agreed upon compensation to our employees and independent contractors.. We expect to timely pay our employees and independent contractors in the future. However, if we fail to do so, there can be no assurance they will continue to render services to us.

Our management team consists of several key distribution, sales and financial personnel who have been recruited within the past several years. Many of these individuals provide services to us as independent contractors. In order to manage and operate our business successfully in the future, it will be necessary to further strengthen our management team. The hiring of any additional executives will increase our compensation expense. We may not have sufficient working capital to be able to do so.

OUR STRATEGY REQUIRES US TO DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER FIRMS.

Our strategy depends on various relationships with other firms for product development, research facilities, distilling facilities, bottling, distribution and low-cost marketing. Because of these relationships, we do not expect to invest heavily in fixed assets or factories. Of particular importance to us is our relationship with independent producers who manufacture our products, typically, pursuant to our specifications. We do not have our own production capacity and rely on independent contractors to produce our products. We will need to maintain and develop relationships with additional manufactures as we add products to our product mix. It is vital to our success that our producers deliver high quality products to us with favorable pricing terms. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to develop and maintain relationships which provide us the services and facilities we require. If we fail to develop and maintain such relationships, we may be forced to change our strategy, which could have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations. Further, if our relationship with a producer of any of our products is terminated, it is likely our business will be disrupted until a replacement producer is identified and production commences.

OUR BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS DEPEND ON MAINTAINING A CONSISTENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE SUPPLY OF RAW MATERIALS.

Raw materials for our products include concentrate, glass, labels, flavoring, caps and packaging materials. Currently, we purchase our flavor concentrate from two flavor concentrate suppliers. We believe that we have adequate sources of raw materials, which are available from multiple suppliers, and that in general we maintain good supplier relationships. The price of our concentrates is determined through negotiation with our flavor houses, and may be subject to change. Prices for the remaining raw materials are generally determined by the market, and may change at any time. Increases in prices for any of these raw materials could have a material adverse impact on our ability to achieve profitability. If we are unable to continue to find adequate suppliers for our raw materials on economic terms acceptable to us, it will adversely affect our results of operations.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACQUIRE AND SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS IN THE FUTURE.

We have grown our business primarily through acquisitions of brands and, if we have the working capital necessary to do so, we expect to acquire additional brands in the future. There can be no assurance that we will be able to acquire additional products or assimilate all of the products we do acquire into our business or product mix. Acquisitions can be accompanied by risks such as potential exposure to unknown liabilities relating to the acquired product or business. We have entered into, and may continue to enter into, joint ventures, which may also carry risks of liability to third parties.

OUR INABILITY TO PROTECT OUR TRADEMARKS, PATENT AND TRADE SECRETS MAY PREVENT US FROM SUCCESSFULLY MARKETING OUR PRODUCTS AND COMPETING EFFECTIVELY.

Failure to protect our intellectual property could harm our brand and our reputation, and adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. Further, enforcing or defending our intellectual property rights, including our trademarks, patents, copyrights and trade secrets, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. We regard our intellectual property, particularly our trademarks and trade secrets to be of considerable value and importance to our business and our success. We rely on a combination of trademark, patent, and trade secrecy laws, and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property rights. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by us to protect these proprietary rights will be adequate or that third parties will not infringe or misappropriate our trademarks, trade secrets (including our flavor concentrate trade secrets) or similar proprietary rights. In addition, there can be no assurance that other parties will not assert infringement claims against us, and we may have to pursue litigation against other parties to assert our rights. Any such claim or litigation could be costly and we may lack the resources required to defend against such claims. In addition, any event that would jeopardize our proprietary rights or any claims of infringement by third parties could have a material adverse affect on our ability to market or sell our brands, and profitably exploit our products.

WE HAVE LIMITED WORKING CAPITAL AND WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING IN THE FUTURE.

Our working capital needs in the future will depend upon factors such as market acceptance of our existing products and of any new products we launch, the success of our independent distributors and our production, marketing and sales costs. None of these factors can be predicted with certainty.

We have sustained substantial operating losses since our organization. We will need additional debt or equity financing in the future to fully implement our business plan. We may not be able to obtain any additional financing on acceptable terms or at all. As a result, we may not have adequate working capital to implement future expansions, maintain sufficient levels of inventory, and maintain our current levels of operation or to pursue strategic acquisitions. Our failure to obtain sufficient financing would likely result in the delay or abandonment of some or all of our development plans, any one of which would likely harm our business and the value of our common stock.

CERTAIN OF OUR PRODUCTS ARE CLOSELY IDENTIFIED WITH CELEBRITIES AND OUR BRAND RECOGNITION IS SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED BY THEIR SUCCESS IN THEIR PROFESSION.

Certain of our products, including products for which we have acquired distribution rights, adopt the name of a single personality or celebrity, or is associated with a single personality or celebrity, such as Willie Nelson, the late Paul Newman, Donald Trump, Kid Rock and Dr. Dre. Therefore, any reduction of notoriety or any damage to the reputation of any such personality will correspondingly damage the associated product and could have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations.

CERTAIN FACTORS RELATING TO OUR INDUSTRY

WE COMPETE IN AN INDUSTRY THAT IS BRAND-CONSCIOUS, SO BRAND NAME RECOGNITION AND ACCEPTANCE OF OUR PRODUCTS ARE CRITICAL TO OUR SUCCESS.

Our business is substantially dependent upon awareness and market acceptance of our products and brands by our targeted consumers. In addition, our business depends on acceptance by our independent distributors of our brands as beverage brands that have the potential to provide incremental sales growth rather than reduce distributors' existing beverage sales. Although we believe that we have made progress towards establishing market recognition for certain of our brands in both the alcoholic and non alcoholic beverage industry, it is too early in the product life cycle of these brands to determine whether our products and brands will achieve and maintain satisfactory levels of acceptance by independent distributors and retail consumers.

COMPETITION FROM TRADITIONAL ALCOHOLIC AND NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE MANUFACTURERS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR DISTRIBUTION RELATIONSHIPS AND MAY HINDER DEVELOPMENT OF OUR EXISTING MARKETS, AS WELL AS PREVENT US FROM EXPANDING OUR MARKETS.

The beverage industry is highly competitive. We compete with other beverage companies, most of which have significantly more sales and significantly more resources, which gives them significant advantages in gaining consumer acceptance for their products, access to shelf space in retail outlets and marketing focus by our distributors, all of whom also distribute other beverage brands. Our products compete with all beverages, most of which are marketed by companies with greater financial resources than what we have. Some of these competitors are or will likely in the future, place severe pressure on our independent distributors not to carry competitive alternative brands such as ours. We also compete with regional beverage producers and "private label" suppliers. Some of our alcoholic competitors are Diageo, Pernod Ricard, Castle Brands, Brown-Furman and Bacardi & Company, Ltd. Some of our direct competitors in the alternative beverage industry include Cadbury

Schweppes (Snapple, Stewart, Nantucket Nectar, Mystic), Thomas Kemper, Boylans and Hansens. Competitor consolidations, market place competition, particularly among branded beverage products, and competitive product and pricing pressures could impact our earnings, market share and volume growth. If, due to such pressure or other competitive phenomena, we are unable to sufficiently maintain or develop our distribution channels, or develop alternative distribution channels, we may be unable to achieve our financial targets. As a means of maintaining and expanding our distribution network, we intend to expand the market for our products, and introduce additional brands. However, we will require financing to do so. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional financing or that other companies will not be more successful in this regard over the long term. Competition, particularly from companies with greater financial and marketing resources than those available to us, could have a material adverse effect on our existing markets, as well as our ability to expand the market for our products.

WE COMPETE IN AN INDUSTRY CHARACTERIZED BY RAPID CHANGES IN CONSUMER PREFERENCES, SO OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE DEVELOPING NEW PRODUCTS TO SATISFY OUR CONSUMERS' CHANGING PREFERENCES WILL DETERMINE OUR LONG-TERM SUCCESS.

Our current market distribution and penetration is limited as compared with the potential market and so our initial views as to customer acceptance of a particular brand can be erroneous, and there can be no assurance that true market acceptance will ultimately be achieved. In addition, customer preferences are also affected by factors other than taste, such as the recent media focus on obesity in youth. If we do not adjust to respond to these and other changes in customer preferences, our sales may be adversely affected.

A DECLINE IN THE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

There have been periods in American history during which alcohol consumption declined substantially. A decline in alcohol consumption could occur in the future due to a variety of factors including: (i) a general decline in economic conditions, (ii) increased concern about health consequences and concerns about drinking and driving, (iii) a trend toward other beverages such as juices and water, (iv) increased activity of anti-alcohol consumer groups, and (v) increases in federal, state or foreign excise taxes. A decline in the consumption of alcohol would likely negatively affect our business.

WE COULD BE EXPOSED TO PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR POSSIBLY DEATH.

Although we have product liability insurance in amounts we believe are adequate, we cannot assure you that the coverage will be sufficient to cover any or all product liability claims. To the extent our product liability coverage is insufficient; a product liability claim would likely have a material adverse affect upon our financial condition. In addition, any product liability claim successfully brought against us may materially damage the reputation of our products; thus adversely affecting our ability to continue to market and sell that or other products.

OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO MANY REGULATIONS AND NONCOMPLIANCE IS COSTLY.

The production, marketing and sale of our alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages, including contents, labels, caps and containers, are subject to the rules and regulations of various federal, state and local health agencies. If a regulatory authority finds that a current or future product or production run is not in compliance with any of these regulations, we may be fined, or production may be stopped, thus adversely affecting our financial conditions and operations. Similarly, any adverse publicity associated with any noncompliance may damage our reputation and our ability to successfully market our products. Furthermore, rules and regulations are subject to change from time to time and while we monitor developments in this area, the fact that we have limited staff makes it difficult for us to keep up to date and we have no way of anticipating whether changes in these rules and regulations will impact our business adversely. Additional or revised regulatory requirements, whether regarding labeling, the environment, taxes or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

THE CURRENT INTERNATIONAL CONFLICTS, AND TERRORISM EVENTS ALL OR INDIVIDUALLY MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR SALES AND EARNINGS, AND OUR SHIPPING COSTS HAVE INCREASED.

We cannot predict the impact of the current economic climate in the United States, or the current international situation, on current and future consumer demand for and sales of our products. In addition, recent volatility in the global oil markets has resulted in rising fuel and freight prices, which many shipping companies are passing on to their customers. Our shipping costs have increased, and these costs may continue to increase. Due to the price sensitivity of our products, we do not anticipate that we will be able to pass these increased costs on to our customers.

CERTAIN FACTORS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

BECAUSE OUR COMMON STOCK IS CONSIDERED A "PENNY STOCK," A SHAREHOLDER MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY SELLING SHARES IN THE SECONDARY TRADING MARKET.

Our common stock is subject to certain rules and regulations relating to "penny stock" (generally defined as any equity security that has a price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions). Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks are subject to certain "sales practice requirements" for sales in certain nonexempt transactions (i.e., sales to persons other than established customers and institutional "accredited investors"), including requiring delivery of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market and monthly statements disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks held in the account, and certain other restrictions. For as long as our common stock is subject to the rules on penny stocks, the market liquidity for such securities could be significantly limited. This lack of liquidity may also make it more difficult for us to raise capital in the future through sales of equity in the public or private markets.

THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE VOLATILE, AND A SHAREHOLDER'S INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK COULD SUFFER A DECLINE IN VALUE.

There could be significant volatility in the volume and market price of our common stock, and this volatility may continue in the future. Our common stock is listed on the over-the-counter Bulletin Board and there is a greater chance for market volatility for securities that trade on the OTC Bulletin Board as opposed to a national exchange or quotation system. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of "bid" and "ask" quotations and generally lower trading volume. In addition, factors such as quarterly variations in our operating results, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to meet our or their projected financial and operating results, litigation involving us, general trends relating to the beverage industry, actions by governmental agencies, national economic and stock market considerations as well as other events and circumstances beyond our control could have a significant impact on the future market price of our common stock and the relative volatility of such market price.

A LARGE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE AND MAY DEPRESS OUR STOCK PRICE.

Our shares that are eligible for future sale may have an adverse effect on the price of our stock. As of July 31, 2009, there were approximately 94 million shares of our common stock outstanding. Also, we have issued approximately over 45,000,000 shares of our common stock since March 2005. Furthermore, in connection with our December Private Placement, we issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock, 11,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, which is convertible into 31,428,571 shares of our common stock and warrants to acquire 600,000 shares of our common stock. A significant percent of these shares either are eligible to be traded. Our average daily trading volume for the previous three months ended July 31, 2009 was approximately 220,000 shares of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock, or a perception that such sales could occur, and the existence of options or warrants to purchase shares of common stock at prices that may be below the then current market price of the common stock, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.

YOUR OWNERSHIP INTEREST, VOTING POWER AND THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY DECREASE BECAUSE WE HAVE ISSUED, AND MAY CONTINUE TO ISSUE, A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SECURITIES CONVERTIBLE OR EXERCISABLE INTO OUR COMMON STOCK.

We have issued common stock , warrants, options and convertible notes to purchase our common stock to satisfy our obligations and fund our operations and reward our employees. In the future we may issue additional shares of common stock, options, warrants, preferred stock or other securities exercisable for or convertible into our common stock to raise money for our continued operations. We continue to seek additional investors. If additional sales of equity occur, your ownership interest and voting power in us will be diluted and the market price of our common stock may decrease.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

We lease 2,739 square feet of office in Wilton, Connecticut under an operating sublease which will expire September 30, 2009, with base annual rent payments of approximately $50,000 through September 30, 2009. Under our lease, we are also responsible for our pro rata share of real estate tax increases. We have negotiated a new two year lease with the landlord commencing in October 2009 with annual base rent payments of $36,000. In addition we have a number of agreements with independent warehousing companies providing for the stocking, storage and shipping of a significant amount of our products at their various locations We believe our leased premise and our independent warehouse facilities are suitable and adequate for our use and adequately covered by insurance.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In June 2009, Richard Shiekman, a former employee of the Company, filed a claim against the Company and our chief Executive Officer in Superior Court of Connecticut, Fairfield County (CV 09 4028895 S). The plaintiff seeks $127,250 of unpaid wages and commissions and, $1,500 for reimbursement of expenses. The maximum exposure to the Company and our CEO is $387,000 for treble damages plus attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company believes that the claims made by the plaintiff are false and plans to vigorously defend this suit,. In addition, the Company plans to commence a countersuit for damage and theft of services. We pledged 2,325,000 shares of Company stock in lieu of a prejudgment remedy.

In February 2009, Vetrerie Bruni S.p.A the company which has the patent to the Trump Vodka bottle design filed a complaint against us in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York for alleged breach of contract and seeking $225,000 for alleged past due invoices and royalties. The Company is currently engaged in settlement negotiations and if a settlement is not reached the case will be defended.

In June 2009, Liquor Group Wholesale, Inc. (“Liquor Group”) a company which provided distribution services for us in several states filed a claim for damages against us in Duval County Florida for alleged damages including breach of contract and is seeking approximately $2 million in damages. It is the Company’s strong opinion that the claim arose out of our termination of the agreements we had with them for their nonperformance, failure of the plaintiff to accurately report sales to the Company and their withholding of information required by the agreements. The Company filed a counterclaim of $500,000 for damages against Liquor Group and has denied their claimed breach of contract claim previously made against it. The Company contends that it is owed money by Liquor Group under the agreements.

Other than the above we believe that the Company is currently not subject to litigation, which, in the opinion of our management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

We may, however, become involved in litigation from time to time relating to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. These claims, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.

RECENT SALE OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

On March 12, 2009 the Company granted an aggregate of 5,775,000 options under the Plan to various employees, the directors of the Company, and to two consultants to the Company. The exercise price of the options granted to employees , directors and on of the consultants was at the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant (other than those issued to our CEO which was at a 10% premium to the market value). The exercise price of the options granted to the other consultant, $0.35, was above the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. The Company issued an aggregate of 4,175,000 options to purchase shares of its common stock to its employees including 2,500,000 to its CEO, 500,000 to its COO and 300,000 to its CFO. The options granted to employees of the Company vest over a four year period and expire five years after the grant date. The options awarded to the directors (1,000,000) of the Company and the consultants (600,000) vested immediately upon grant. Also on March 12, 2009, the Company granted 1,175,000 shares of its common stock under the Plan to several of its employees as consideration for past services they have performed for the Company. Of these an aggregate of 750,000 shares were issued in June 2009.

In April 2009 the Company entered into a two year sponsorship agreement with concert producer and promoter to promote Olifant Vodka in its concert tour which runs from July 10, thru August 8, 2009. In consideration for their services the Company has granted the promoter the following: 1,500,000 shares of its stocks which were issued in May 2009; 3% of the net profits of Olifant for each fiscal year beginning following the third anniversary of the agreement (years beginning May 2012) and ending the earlier of Olifant’s fiscal year ending in 2018 or when Olifant is sold. If Olifant is sold prior to expiration the promoter will receive 3% of the consideration received from the sale. The Company has agreed to grant an additional 2% (of Olifant or a future brand) for promotion in the 2010 concert tour; and warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of Company stock at an exercise price of 200,000 shares which shall be issued at the end of the 2009 tour.

In accordance with the agreement, in May 2009, the Company issued a promissory note to the promoter for a loan in the same amount to cover expenses relating to the tour. The note, which bears no interest, was to be paid in four equal installments beginning in June 2009 is secured by 500,000 shares of Company stock. The promoter has deferred the requirement of payment under the note pending the completion of a future financing for the Company at which time they will elect payment or take the 500,000 shares of stock.

On June 19, 2009 (the "Closing Date") we sold to one investor (the “Investor”) a $4,000,000 non interest bearing debenture with a 25% ($1,000,000) original issue discount, that matures in 48 months from the Closing Date (the Drink’s Debenture) for $3,000,000, consisting of $375,000 paid in cash at closing and eleven secured promissory notes, aggregating $2,625,000, bearing interest at the rate of 5% per annum, each maturing 50 months after the Closing Date(the “Investor Notes”). The Investor Notes, the first ten of which are in the principal amount of $250,000 and the last of which is in the principal amount of $125,000, are mandatorily pre-payable, in sequence, at the rate of one note per month commencing on the seven month anniversary of the Closing Date. If the prepayment occurs, the entire aggregate principal balance of the Investor Notes in the amount of $2,625,000, together with the interest outstanding thereon, will be paid in eleven monthly installments (ten in the amount of $250,000 and one the amount of $125,000)such that the entire amount would be paid to us by November 26, 2010. As a practical matter, the interest rate on the Investor Notes serves to lessen the interest cost inherent in the original issue discount element of the Drinks Debenture. For the mandatory prepayment to occur, no Event of Default or Triggering Event as defined under the Drinks Debenture shall have occurred and be continuing and the outstanding balance due under the Drinks Debenture must have been reduced to $3,500,000 on the seventh month anniversary of the Closing Date and be reduced at the rate of $333,334 per month thereafter.

One of the Triggering Events includes the failure of the Company to maintain an average daily dollar volume of common stock traded per day for any consecutive 10-day period of at least $10,000 or if the average value of the shares are pledge to secure our obligation under the Drinks Debenture (as subsequently described )fall below $1,600,000.

Under the Drinks Debenture, commencing six months after the Closing Date, the Investor may request the Company to repay all or a portion of the Drinks Debenture by issuing the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value, in satisfaction of all or part of the Drinks Debenture, valued at the Market Price,(as defined in the Drinks Debenture), of Drink’s common stock at the time the request is made (collectively, the “Share Repayment Requests”). The Investor’s may not request repayment in common stock if, at the time of the request, the amount requested would be higher than the difference between the outstanding balance owed under the Drinks Debenture and 125% of the aggregate amount owed under the Investor Note.

We may prepay all or part of the Drinks Debenture upon 10-days prior written notice and are entitled to satisfy a portion of the amount outstanding under the debenture by offset of an amount equal to 125% of the amount owed under the Investor Notes, which amount will satisfy a corresponding portion of the Drinks Debenture. For example, subsequent to receipt of the $375,000 and prior to the receipt of any payments under the Investor Notes, we can satisfy the Drinks Debenture by paying $718,750 to the Investor.

Also as part of this financing, the Investor acquired warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share (the “Investor Warrants”). The Investor Warrants contain full ratchet anti-dilution provisions, as to the exercise price and are exercisable for a five year period.

Out of the gross proceeds of this Offering, we paid the placement agent $37,500 in commissions and we are obligated to pay the placement agent 10% of the principal balance of the Investor Notes when each note is paid. We will also issue to the Placement Agent, warrants to acquire 5% of the shares of our Common Stock which we deliver in response to Share Repayment Requests, at an exercise price equal to the Market Price related to the shares delivered in response to the Share Repayment Request (the "Placement Agent Warrants"), which warrants are exercisable for a five year period, will contain cashless exercise provisions as well as anti-dilution provisions in the case of stock splits and similar matters

Our CEO has guaranteed our obligations under the Drinks Debenture in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) $375,000 or (ii) the outstanding balance owed under the Drinks Debenture. In addition our CEO, COO, and two other members of our Board of Directors have, pledged an aggregate of 9,000,000 shares of our common stock to secure our obligations under the Drinks Debenture (the “Pledged Shares”). The Company has pledged an additional 3,000,000 shares of its common stock. The Company has agreed in principle to issue to those individuals who pledged their shares, 0.5 shares of Company stock for each share pledged.

On July 14, 2009 the value of the Pledged Shares fell below the required amount and consequently the Investor delivered a notice of default to the Company. On the receipt of the notice the Company requested, and the Investor orally agreed, that the penalties the Company would have incurred would not apply. The agreement was subsequently documented and the Investor also waived the application of this provision through October 31, 2009. In response to the default the Investor to transferred 5,523,645 shares of the Pledged Shares into its own name in order to commence sale thereof to satisfy payment of the Drinks Debenture.

In order to secure waivers which the investors in our December 2007 financing claimed were required for the Company to consummate this financing (see Note 11 of our consolidated financial statements for the 2009 fiscal year), we allowed, and the three December investors elected, to convert an aggregate of $335,800(335.8 shares) of our preferred stock into 3,358,000 shares of our common stock.

In April 2009 the Company entered into a sponsorship agreement with concert producer and promoter to promote Olifant Vodka in its concert tour which runs from July 10, thru August 8, 2009. In consideration for their services the Company has given the promoter the following: 1,500,000 shares of its stocks which were issued in May 2009; 3% of the net profits of Olifant for each fiscal year beginning following the third anniversary of the agreement (years beginning May 2012) and ending the earlier of Olifant’s fiscal year ending in 2018 or when Olifant is sold. If Olifant is sold prior to expiration the promoter will receive 3% of the consideration received from the sale. The Company has agreed to grant an additional 2% (of Olifant or a future brand) for promotion in the 2010 concert tour; and warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of Company stock at an exercise price of 200,000 shares which shall be issued at the end of the 2009 tour. The value of the 1,500,000 shares issued aggregating $225,000, based on the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of the agreement, and the warrants granted , $8,000 , will be amortized over the life of the tour. In accordance with the agreement the amount of cash and stock based consideration issued by the Company shall not be less than $400,000.

Company issued the lender 286,623 shares of Company common stock .As of July , 2009 the Company had not made any payments under the amended note and has reached an informal agreement with the note-holder, to issue 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for each week of nonpayment. As of July 31, 2009 the Company has issued the note-holder 400,000 shares of its stock to remain in compliance with the amended note.

In May 9, 2009 we issued a sales consultant 85,000 shares of our common stock with an aggregate value of $11,900 for past due fees owed to him.

On July 1, 2009 we issued an aggregate of 333,333 shares of our common stock having an aggregate value of $50,000 to a member of our board of directors for an advance he made to a third, unrelated, entity for services they provided the Company. The amount the Company was invoiced for these services by the third party was equal to the value of the stock issued to the director.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read with "Selected Financial Data" and our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Year ended April 30, 2009 compared to year ended April 30, 2008

Net Sales: Net sales were $2,478,000 for the year ended April 30, 2009 compared to net sales of $4,509,000 for the year ended April 30, 2008, a decrease of 45%. The decrease is predominantly due to inventory shortfalls as a result of insufficient working capital and the resulting delay of certain shipments. Trump Super Premium Vodka sales aggregated $1,100,000 which accounted for 44% of total dollar sales for the year ended April 30, 2009. For the year ended April 30, 2008, Trump Super Premium Vodka sales aggregated $2,652,000 which accounted for 59% of total dollar sales. We believe that the recent economic downturn has hurt the sales of this premium product. Interruption of access to production financing resulted in temporary inventory disruption. In addition sales of Trump for the year ended April 30, 2009 were effected by issues relating to our California , Chicago distributors as with Liquor Group, who represented us in several “controlled state” which have been corrected with new distributors being appointed. The launch of Trump Super Premium Vodka in Texas in July 2007 also contributed to greater sales of Trump Super Premium Vodka for the year ended April 30, 2008 compared to the year ended April 30, 2009. Sales of all wine and spirits products aggregated $2,042,000 for the year ended April 30, 2009 compared to $3,842,000 for the year ended April 30, 2008. Net sales of Old Whiskey River Bourbon totaled $231,000 on 1,864 cases sold for the year ended April 30, 2009 compared to net sales of $452,000 on 3,806 cases sold for the year ended April 30, 2008. Net sales of our Aguila Tequila aggregated $74,600 on 895 cases sold for the year ended April 30, 2009 compared to $133,000 on 1,418 cases sold for the year ended April 30, 2008. This represents a dollar decrease of 44% and a case increase of 37%. Net sales of our Damiana Liqueur aggregated $145,400 on 1,094 cases sold for the year ended April 30, 2009 compared to net sales of $196,700 on 1555 cases sold for the year ended April 30, 2008 Net sales of our premium imported wines totaled $269,000 on 2,769 cases sold for the year ended April 30, 2009 compared to net sales of $392,000 on 3,396 cases sold for the year ended April 30, 2008. Net sales of our non alcoholic product, Newman’s Own sparkling fruit beverages and sparkling waters decreased to $443,990 on 53,265 cases sold for the year ended April 30, 2009 compared to $666,620 on 75,300 cases sold for the year ended April 30, 2008. Sales of our Newmans Own products were affected the Company’s decision to exit this business. We have made the strategic decision to discontinue selling the Newman’s Own products in light of the fact our contract ends in October 2009. The Newman’s Own organization and the Company have agreed that the Newman’s Own organization will assume the selling of the product. The Company’s decision was based on enhancing profitability and our inability to have equity in the brand. In January 2009 the Company acquired a 90% interest in Olifant USA, Inc, which has the worldwide rights (excluding Europe) to Olifant Vodka and gin. Olifant Vodka and Gin is, produced in Holland is sold at an economy price. The Company’s management believes, and customer demand indicates, that with national distribution already in place sales of these products will be very successful in this economic environment. In January 2009 the Company commenced sales of its Leyrat Cognac recognizing $145,000 in revenue on 773 cases sold.

Gross margin: Exclusive of our allowance for slow moving inventory ($120,000), gross profit was $628,000 (25% of net sales) for the year ended April 30, 2009 a decrease of $1,057,000 compared to gross profit of $1,685,000 (37% of net sales) for the year ended April 30, 2008. Gross margin for our wine and spirits business was 30% percent for the year ended April 30, 2009, exclusive of allowances for slow moving inventory, compared to 41 % for the prior year. Gross margin for our non alcoholic business was 17% for the year ended April 30, 2009 compared to 22% for the year ended April 30, 2008. The inherent low margins for the Newmans’ Own products, the increased costs in production together with the inability to sustain its growth has lead to our decision to discontinue to sell the products. . Gross margin of Trump Super Premium Vodka, decreased to 35% for the year ended April 30, 2009 compared to 40 % for the year ended April 30, 2008. The gross margin decrease is largely due to a decrease in the percentage of direct sales which leads to increased direct costs such as excise taxes and freight, price competition, and a greater amount of sales to our distributor in “controlled” states for which we generally recognize lower margins. For the year ended April 30, 2009 the Company recorded a loss for Cohete Rum as the Company has liquidated the inventory and terminate the brand.

Selling, general and administrative: Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $5,720,000 for the year ended April 30, 2009, compared to $7,838,000 for the year ended April 30, 2008, a decrease of 27%. Total selling and marketing costs aggregated $2,200,000 for the year ended April 30, 2009 compared to $3,900,000 for the year ended April 30, 2008. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses is due to the overall decreased marketing spend to a normalized level as sales promotions for Trump Vodka have become more targeted. General and administrative expenses aggregated $3,520,000 for the year ended April 30, 2009 compared to $3,938,000 for the year ended April 30, 2008. Professional fees, including legal fees have decreased from the prior year and travel related expenses have also decreased for the year ended April 30, 2009 compared to the year ended April 30, 2008. For the year ended April 30, 2009 we recognized a non-cash charge of $220,000 relating to stock bonuses to certain employees of the Company for services they have provided.

Other Income (expense): Interest expense totaled $151,000 for the year ended April 30, 2009 compared to expense of $164,000 for the year ended April 30, 2008. For the year ended April 30, 2009 other income aggregated $409,000 which is the result of the Company’s settlement with RBCI Holdings, Inc. For the year ended April 30, 2009 the Company recognized an imparment loss on its Rheingold license based on additional investment to eventually bring the product to market. The Company issued 350,000 shares of Company stock full consideration of a note payable to RBCI for $500,000. The value of the shares on the settlement date was $91,000.

Income Taxes: We have incurred substantial net losses from our inception and as a result, have not incurred any income tax liabilities. Our federal net operating loss carry forward is approximately $28,000,000, which we can use to reduce taxable earnings in the future. No income tax benefits were recognized in fiscal 2008 and 2007 as we have provided valuation reserves against the full amount of the future carry forward tax loss benefit. We will evaluate the reserve every reporting period and recognize the benefits when realization is reasonably assured.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

Although management expects that our operations will be influenced by general economic conditions we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our results of operations.

SEASONALITY

As a general rule, the second and third quarters of our fiscal year (August-January) are the periods that we realize our greatest sales as a result of sales of alcoholic beverages during the holiday season. During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year (February-April) we generally realize our lowest sales volume as a result of our distributors working off inventory which remained on hand after the holiday season. As we increase our beer sales, as a result of the launch of Kid Rock’s beer, we would expect sales in first quarter of our fiscal year (May-July), to increase since the spring and summer tends to be the strongest periods for sales of this beverage.

FINANCIAL LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Although our working capital position was initially improved as a result of the exercise of warrants to acquire our common stock pursuant to our October 2008 warrant re-pricing and our December 2007 Private Placement of our preferred stock, our business continues to be effected by insufficient working capital. We will need to continue to carefully manage our working capital and our business decisions will continue to be influenced by our working capital requirements. Lack of liquidity continues to negatively affect our business and curtail the execution of our business plan.

We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations and investing activities since our inception in 2003. Net losses for the year ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 were $5,041,000 and $6,311,000 , respectively. Cash used in operating activities for the years ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 was $630,000 and $3,848,000, respectively. We have to date funded our operations predominantly through bank borrowings, loans from shareholders and investors, and proceeds from the sale of our common stock, preferred stock, and warrants. For the year ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 net cash provided by financing activities totaled $509,000 and $2,987,000, respectively.

As described in Item 5 (under Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities) in June, 2009 (the "Closing Date") we sold to one investor (the “Investor”) a $4,000,000 non interest bearing debenture with a 25% ($1,000,000) original issue discount, that matures in 48 months from the Closing Date (the Drink’s Debenture) for $3,000,000, consisting of $375,000 paid in cash at closing and eleven secured promissory notes, aggregating $2,625,000, bearing interest at the rate of 5% per annum, each maturing 50 months after the Closing Date(the “Investor Notes”). The Investor Notes, the first ten of which are in the principal amount of $250,000 and the last of which is in the principal amount of $125,000, are mandatorily pre-payable, in sequence, at the rate of one note per month commencing on the seven month anniversary of the Closing Date. If the prepayment occurs, the entire aggregate principal balance of the Investor Notes in the amount of $2,625,000, together with the interest outstanding thereon, will be paid in eleven monthly installments (ten in the amount of $250,000 and one the amount of $125,000)such that the entire amount would be paid to us by November 26, 2010. These monthly payments will help fund operations over their eleven month period.

The Company has an agreement with a factor through September 2009 ,with automatic six month renewals which can be terminated by either parties at their discretion, to which a substantial portion of Olifant’s accounts receivable are sold to the factor without recourse as to bad debts but with recourse as to all customer claims. Immediately upon assigning a customer invoice the Company receives a cash advance equal to 70% of the invoice amount and is paid the balance of the invoice less fees incurred at the time the factor receives the final payment from the customer. The facility has a maximum account limit of $200,000. The factor fee is 1% of the factored receivable for every ten days the related invoice remains unpaid and is subject to a monthly administrative charge based on monthly volume. The factor has first security interest in the factored receivable of Olifant and a security interest in the related inventory.

The Company also has an agreement with a different factor pursuant to which a substantial portion of the Company’s accounts receivable, other than Olifant’s, is sold to the factor with recourse to bad debts and other customer claims. The Company receives a cash advance equal to 80% of the invoice amount and is paid the balance of the invoice less fees incurred at the time the factor receives the final payment from the customer. The factor fee is 1.75% for the first 30 days the invoice remains unpaid and 0.07% for each day thereafter. The facility shall remain open until a 30 day notice by either party of termination of the agreement The facility is secured by all assets of the Company other than Olifants’.

On October 27, 2005, the Company acquired certain assets of Rheingold Beer (“Rheingold”) and assumed certain obligations from Rheingold Brewing Company, Inc. (“RBCI”). Holdings issued 724,638 shares of common stock with a fair value of approximately $650,000 to RBCI and assumed approximately $142,000 of their liabilities and are contractually obligated to RBCI to issue an additional $500,000; payable in Holdings common stock with a value of $350,000 and $150,000 cash, accruing no interest. The obligation due RBCI was originally due on October 27, 2006. Due to nonpayment of the balance as a result of disagreements over certain of the acquired assets and liabilities, the Company was sued by RBCI. On January 15, 2009 the Company reached a settlement with RBCI in which it will issue 350,000 shares of common stock in satisfaction of the note. The Company recorded a gain of $409,000 on the settlement.

On October 27, 2008, in order to encourage holders of warrants which we issued in our January Financing (described below) to exercise their warrants, and enabling us to decrease the number of unexercised warrants and raise short-term working capital at low cost, the Company reduced the exercise price from $.50 to $0.20 per share of common stock for a period of 5 trading days.. Each of the investors who participated in the January Financing exercised all of the warrants issued in the private placement representing a total of 3,777,778 newly issued shares of common stock, resulting in proceeds to the Company of $755,556 less a due diligence fee paid of $70,693. We also agreed to reduce the conversion price of the preferred stock acquired by these investors in our December Financing (described below) from $0.50 per share of common stock to $0.35 per share. There were a total of 11,000 shares of preferred shares outstanding with a redemption value of $11,000,000 at April 30, 2009. which if all the preferred stock was converted would result in the issuance of 31,428,571 shares of our common stock. One other investor, Greenwich Beverage Group LLC, who is controlled by a member of our board of directors, elected to exercise warrants for a total of 166,667 shares of common stock at $0.20 per share, which the Company reduced from $1.25, for an aggregate exercise price of $33,333. As a provision of the June 2009 sale of our debentures, , in order to satisfy the ratcheting provisions of the preferred stock financing we allowed, and the three December Investors (see below) elected, to convert an aggregate of $335,800(335.8 shares) of our preferred stock into 3,358,000 shares of our common stock.

On December 18, 2007 (the "Closing Date") the Company sold to three related investors (the "December Investors") an aggregate of 3,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, $.001 par value (the "Preferred Stock"), at a cash purchase price of $1,000 per share, generating gross proceeds of $3,000,000 (the “December Financing”). The Preferred Stock has no voting or dividend rights. Out of the gross proceeds of the December Financing, we paid Midtown Partners & Co., LLC (the "Placement Agent") $180,000 in commissions and $30,000 for non-accountable expenses. We also issued, to the Placement Agent, warrants to acquire 600,000 shares of our Common Stock for a purchase price of $.50 per share (the "Placement Agent Warrants"), which warrants are exercisable for a five year period and contain anti-dilution provisions in the events of stock splits and similar matters. Both the commissions and expenses were accounted for as a reduction of Additional Paid in Capital.

The financing that we consummated in January 2007 (the “January Financing”) provided participating investors (the “January Investors”) rights to exchange the common stock they acquired for securities issued in subsequent financings which were consummated at a common stock equivalent of $2.00 per share or less. Under this provision, the January Investors have exchanged 4,444,445 shares of common stock for 8,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The 4,444,445 shares returned were accounted for as a reduction of Additional Paid in Capital and a reduction of Common Stock since the shares have been cancelled. Also in the January Financing, the January Investors acquired warrants to purchase 3,777,778 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share (the “January Warrants”). These warrants were exercised at $.20 per share of common stock.

Each of our December Investors participated in the January Financing but not all of our January Investors participated in the December Financing.

The December Investors may allege that certain penalties are owed to them by the Company based on certain time requirements in the documentation relating to the December Financing. If such claim is successfully made, we may lack the liquidity to satisfy such claim.

On January 15, 2009 (the “Closing”), the Company acquired 90% of the capital stock of Olifant U.S.A, Inc. (“Olifant”) , pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement. The Company has agreed to pay the sellers $1,200,000 for its 90% interest: $300,000 in cash and common stock valued at $100,000 to be paid 90 days from the Closing date The initial cash payment of $300,000 which was due 90 days from Closing , was initially reduced by $138,000 at Closing because Olifant’s liabilities exceeded the amount provided for in the Purchase Agreement. In accordance with the Agreement, the initial cash payment was subject to additional offsets to be mutually agreed upon by both parties. As of July 31, 2009 the parties have agreed to additional offsets aggregating $4,702 with potential offsets of $37,030 which are to be determined by August 20, 2009 in accordance with a supplementary agreement entered into by the parties, Settlement Agreement and General Release, on July 31, 2009.

Each $200,000 installment is payable $100,000 in cash and Company stock valued at $100,000with the stock value based on the 30 trading days immediately prior to the installment date. The cash portion of the note accrues interest at a rate of 5% per annum.

As of April 30, 2009 and, 2008 amounts owed to our CEO on these loans including accrued and unpaid interest aggregated $305,935 and $232,547, respectively.

ROYALTIES/LICENSING AGREEMENTS

In November 2005, the Company entered into an eight-year license agreement for sales of Trump Super Premium Vodka. Under the agreement the Company is required to pay royalties on sales of the licensed product. The agreement provides for certain minimum royalty payments through November 2012 which if not satisfied could result in termination of the license.

Under our license agreement for Old Whiskey River, we are obligated to pay royalties of between $10 and $33 per case, depending on the size of the bottle.

Under our license agreement for Damaina Liqueur we pay $3 per case.

Under our license agreement with Aguila Tequila we are obligated to pay $3 per case.

Under our joint ventures agreement with Dr. Dre and Interscope Records, which includes our Leyrat Cognac, we are obligated to pay a percentage of gross profits, less certain direct selling expenses.

OTHER AGREEMENTS

The Company has an agreement with a foreign distributor, through December 2023, to distribute our products in their country. The agreement requires the distributor to purchase a set monthly amount of our products, predominately our Trump Super Premium Vodka for the term of the agreement. The distributor is to pay the Company a monthly fee over the term of the agreement for the rights to be the exclusive distributor in their country. As of April 30, 2009 the distributor has not received its distribution license. Once the distributor receives its license and begins purchasing our products the Company will accrue the monthly “exclusivity” fee to revenue based on the intent of the agreement and such fee

In fiscal 2003 we entered into a consulting agreement with a company, Marvin Traub & Associates (“MTA”), owned 100% by Marvin Traub, a member of the Board of Directors. Under the agreement, MTA is being compensated at the rate of $100,000 per annum. As of April 30, 2009, we were indebted to MTA in the amount of $256,248.

In December 2002 the Company entered into a consulting agreement with one of its shareholders which provides for $600,000 in fees payable in five fixed increments over a period of 78 months. The agreement expired on June 9, 2009. The Company has an informal agreement with the shareholder pursuant to which he has the option of converting all or a portion of the consulting fees owed him into shares of Holding's common stock at a conversion price to be agreed upon. In March 2009 the consultant elected to convert $120,000 due him for consulting fees into shares of Company stock at a price of $0.35 per share resulting in the Company issuing 342,857 shares to him. In February, 2008 the consultant elected to convert $190,000 due him for consulting fees into shares of Company common stock at a price of $0.50 per share resulting in the Company issuing 380,000 shares to him. Each of the conversions were was at a premium to the market price of the Company’s common on the date of the elections to convert. As of April 30, 2009 to this shareholder aggregated $30,000.

Since we were founded in 2002, the implementation of our business plan has been negatively affected by insufficient working capital. Business judgments have been substantially affected by the availability of working capital. Although our working capital position and our cash balance was initially improved as a result of our June 2009 sale of our debentures , our October 2008 Warrant Re-pricing Program and our December and January, 2007 private placement of our common stock, preferred stock and warrants, our business continues to be effected by insufficient working capital. We will need to continue to carefully manage our working capital and our business decisions will continue to be influenced by our working capital requirements. Therefore, our short term business strategy will rely heavily on our cost efficient icon brand strategy and the resources available to us from our media and entertainment partners We will continue to focus on those of our products which we believe will provide the greatest return per dollar of investment with the expectation that as a result of increases in sales and the resulting improvement in our working capital position, we will be able to focus on those products for which market acceptance might require greater investments of time and resources. To that end, our short-term focus, for beer and spirits, will be on Trump Super Premium Vodka, Old Whiskey River Bourbon, Damiana, Aquila Tequila, and in association with our recent joint venture with music icon Dr. Dre, our Leyrat Cognac and our recent joint venture with music icon Kid Rock, BadAss Beer. In order for us to continue and grow our business, we will need additional financing which may take the form of equity or debt. There can be no assurance we will be able to secure the financing we require, and if we are unable to secure the financing we need, we may be unable to continue our operations. We anticipate that increased sales revenues will help to some extent, but we will need to obtain funds from equity or debt offerings, and/or from a new or expanded credit facility. In the event we are not able to increase our working capital, we will not be able to implement or may be required to delay all or part of our business plan, and our ability to attain profitable operations, generate positive cash flows from operating and investing activities and materially expand the business will be materially adversely affected.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Not applicable.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to the audited financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the following critical accounting policies are subject to estimates and judgments used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when title passes to the customer, which is generally when products are shipped.

The Company recognizes revenue dilution from items such as product returns, inventory credits, discounts and other allowances in the period that such items are first expected to occur. The Company does not offer its clients the opportunity to return products for any reason other than manufacturing defects. In addition, the Company does not offer incentives to its customers to either acquire more products or maintain higher inventory levels of products than they would in ordinary course of business. The Company assesses levels of inventory maintained by its customers through communications with them. Furthermore, it is the Company's policy to accrue for material post shipment obligations and customer incentives in the period the related revenue is recognized.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at original invoice amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing balances. Management estimates the allowance based on collectability of accounts receivable and prior bad debt experience. Accounts receivable balances are written off upon management's determination that such accounts are uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received. Management believes that credit risks on accounts receivable will not be material to the financial position of the Company or results of operations at April 301, 2009 and 2008 the allowance for doubtful accounts was $36,000 and $24,000, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS No. 144), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, we review long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company's policy is to record an impairment loss at each balance sheet date when it is determined that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is based on undiscounted future cash flows of the related asset. The Company concluded that there was no impairment during the years ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Deferred Charges and Intangible Assets

The costs of intangible assets with determinable useful lives are amortized over their respectful useful lives and reviewed for impairment when circumstances warrant. Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not amortized until such useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite. Evaluation of the remaining useful life of an intangible asset that is not being amortized must be completed each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. Indefinite-lived intangible assets must be tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if warranted. Intangible assets with finite lives are generally amortized on a straight line bases over the estimated period benefited. The costs of trademarks and product distribution rights are amortized over their related useful lives of between 15 to 40 years. We review our intangible assets for events or changes in circumstances that may indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable, in which case an impairment charge is recognized currently.

Deferred financing costs are amortized ratably over the life of the related debt. If debt is retired early, the related unamortized deferred financing costs are written off in the period debt is retired.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R) using the modified prospective approach. The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees and non employees.

Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, whereby basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to all classes of common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of all classes of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is determined in the same manner as basic earnings per share except that the number of shares is increased to assume exercise of potentially dilutive and contingently issuable shares using the treasury stock method, unless the effect of such increase would be anti-dilutive. For the nine and three months ended January 31, 2009 and 2008, the diluted earnings per share amounts equal basic earnings per share because the Company had net losses and the impact of the assumed exercise of contingently issuable shares would have been anti-dilutive.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

We do participate in certain transactions which are settled in foreign currencies. Such transactions are short term in nature and any corresponding fluctuation in foreign exchange rates have not been material. We do not hold instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates or commodity prices. Therefore, we believe that we are not materially exposed to market risks resulting from fluctuations from such rates or prices.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

DISCLOSURES CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required under the SEC's rules and forms and that the information is gathered and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2009 as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2009, our Chief Executive Officer, who also is our principal executive officer, and our Chief Financial Officer, who is our principal financial officer, concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be declared by us in reports that we file with or submit to the SEC is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINICAL REPORTING

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed 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. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that are intended to:

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit reparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

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

Management's assessment of the effectiveness of the small business issuer's internal control over financial reporting is as of the year ended April 30, 2009. We believe that internal control over financial reporting is effective. We have not identified any, current material weaknesses considering the nature and extent of our current operations and any risks or errors in financial reporting under current operations.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Committees of the Board

Our Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee consists of Fredrick Schulman as Chairman and Marvin Traub. Our Audit Committee is responsible for preparing reports, statements and charters required by the federal securities laws, as well as:

overseeing and monitoring the integrity of our consolidated financial statements, our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements as they relate to financial statements or accounting matters, and our internal accounting and financial controls;

preparing the report that SEC rules require be included in our annual proxy statement;

overseeing and monitoring our independent registered public accounting firm's qualifications, independence and performance;

providing the Board with the results of our monitoring and recommendations; and

providing to the Board additional information and materials as it deems necessary to make the Board aware of significant financial matters that require the attention of the Board.

The Board has determined that all current members of the Audit Committee have the ability to read and understand fundamental financial statements. The Board has also determined that Fredrick Schulman qualifies as "Audit Committee financial expert" as defined under Item 407 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Mr. Schulman, in his capacity as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Gourmet Group, Inc. (our predecessor company) for over four years, directly supervised the financial staff of the Company and coordinated the preparation of the Company's financial statements with its outside auditors. Neither Mr. Schulman nor Mr. Traub would be viewed as an independent member of the Audit Committee under the NASDAQ corporate governance rules.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee consists of Bruce Klein as Chairman, Fredrick Schulman and Marvin Traub. The Compensation Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to officer and director compensation and the development and retention of senior management.

Nominating Committee

The Board does not have a standing nominating committee. The Company does not maintain a policy for considering nominees. Director nominees are recommended, reviewed and approved by the entire Board. The Board believes that this process is appropriate due to the relatively small number of directors on the Board and the opportunity to benefit from a variety of opinions and perspectives in determining director nominees by involving the full Board.

While the Board is solely responsible for the selection and nomination of directors, the Board may consider nominees recommended by Stockholders as it deems appropriate. Stockholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send nominations to the Company's Chief Executive Officer, J. Patrick Kenny, 372 Danbury Road, Wilton, CT 06897, that include all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of directors. The recommendation must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the Board and to serve if elected by the Stockholders.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC reports of their holdings of and transactions in our common stock. Based solely upon our review of copies of such reports and representations from reporting persons that were provided to us, we believe that Bruce Klein did not file a Form 5 with respect to our last fiscal year and we are unsure whether such form was required to be filed.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Company has adopted a written code of ethics that applies to the Company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and any persons performing similar functions. The Company will provide a copy of its code of ethics to any person without charge upon written request addressed to 372 Danbury Road, Wilton, CT 06897.

(4) In addition to the value of stock granted to Mr. Daub ($40,000) also includes the value of warrants issued to Mr. Daub to purchase 300,000 shares of our common stock in our second quarter fiscal 2009 for services he has provided the Company which are at fair market value on the date of grant valued in accordance with FAS 123R at $0.014 per share. The warrants are exercisable for 5 years from the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $0.50 per share. Other compensation of $2,161 in fiscal 2008 represents payments of personal major medical premiums.

INCENTIVE PLANS

In January 2009, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the” Plan”) which provides for awards of incentives of non-qualified stock options, stock, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights for its officers, employees, consultants and directors in order to attract and retain such individuals and to enable them to participate in the long-term success and growth of the Company. Stock options granted under the Plan are granted with an exercise price at or above the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant, generally vest over a four year period and expire 5 years after the grant date.

Also on March 12, 2009, the Company granted 1,175,000 shares of its common stock under the Plan to several of its employees as consideration for past services they have performed for the Company. The stock awards vested immediately upon grant. The stock we issued to our Named Executive Officers were valued based on the market price of the shares on the over-the-counter Bulletin Board on the date the shares were granted.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Drinks Americas Holdings, Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Drinks Americas Holdings, Ltd. and Affiliates (the "Company") as of April 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2009 and 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of April 30, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations, changes in shareholders' equity and its cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company has incurred significant losses from operations since its inception. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Business

On March 9, 2005 the shareholders of Drinks Americas, Inc. ("Drinks") a company engaged in the business of importing and distributing unique, premium alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages associated with icon entertainers, sports figures, celebrities and destinations, to beverage wholesalers throughout the United States, acquired control of Drinks Americas Holdings, Ltd. ("Holdings"). Holdings and Drinks were incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 14, 2005 and September 24, 2002, respectively. On March 9, 2005 Holdings merged with Gourmet Group, Inc. ("Gourmet"), a publicly traded Nevada corporation, which resulted in Gourmet shareholders acquiring 1 share of Holdings' common stock in exchange for 10 shares of Gourmet's common stock. Both Holdings and Gourmet were considered "shell" corporations, as Gourmet had no operating business on the date of the share exchange, or for the previous three years. Pursuant to the June 9, 2004 Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange among Gourmet, Drinks and the Drinks' shareholders, Holdings, with approximately 4,058,000 shares of outstanding common stock, issued approximately 45,164,000 of additional shares of its common stock on March 9, 2005 (the "Acquisition Date") to the common shareholders of Drinks and to the members of its affiliate, Maxmillian Mixers, LLC ("Mixers"), in exchange for all of the outstanding Drinks' common shares and Mixers' membership units, respectively. As a result Maxmillian Partners, LLC ("Partners") a holding company which owned 99% of Drinks' outstanding common stock and approximately 55% of Mixers' outstanding membership units, became Holdings' controlling shareholder with approximately 87% of Holdings' outstanding common stock. For financial accounting purposes this business combination has been treated as a reverse acquisition, or a recapitalization of Partners' subsidiaries (Drinks and Mixers).

Subsequent to the Acquisition Date, Partners, which was organized as a Delaware limited liability company on January 1, 2002 transferred all its shares of holdings to its members as part of a plan of liquidation.

On March 11, 2005 Holdings and an individual organized Drinks Global, LLC ("DGI"). Holdings own 90% of the membership units and the individual, who is the president of DGI, owns 10%. DGI's business is to import wines from various parts of the world and sell them to distributors throughout the United States. In May 2006 Holdings organized D.T. Drinks, LLC ("DT Drinks") a New York limited liability company for the purpose of selling certain alcoholic beverages.

On January 15, 2009 Drinks acquired 90% of Olifant U.S.A Inc. (“Olifant”), a Connecticut corporation, which owns the trademark and brand names and holds the worldwide distribution rights ( excluding Europe) to Olifant Vodka and Gin.

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of April 30, 2009 and 2008 and the consolidated results of operations, consolidated changes in shareholders' equity (deficiency)and consolidated cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 reflect Holdings its majority-owned subsidiaries and Partners (collectively, the "Company") with adjustments for income and loss allocated based on percentage of ownership. The accounts of the subsidiaries have been included as of the date of acquisition. All intercompany transactions and balances in these financial statements have been eliminated in consolidation. The amount of common and preferred shares authorized, issued and outstanding as of April 30, 2009 and 2008 are those of Holdings.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern. As of April 30, 2009 the Company has a shareholders’ deficiency of (3,306,748) and has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows since inception. For the year ended April 30, 2009, the Company sustained a net loss of $4,951,086 compared with a net loss of $6,310,948 for the year ended April 30, 2008, and used $629,700 in operating activities compared with $3,848,266 for the year ended April 30, 2008. We have increased our working capital as a result of the exercise of warrants to acquire 3,944,445 shares of our common stock pursuant to our October 2008 warrant re-pricing and our June 2009 debt financing In addition we have improved our liquidity by extinguishing a significant amount of debt by exchanging it for our common stock in previous periods. We will need additional financing which may take the form of equity or debt. We anticipate that increased sales revenues will help to some extent. In the event we are not able to increase our working capital, we will not be able to implement or may be required to delay all or part of our business plan, and our ability to attain profitable operations, generate positive cash flows from operating and investing activities and materially expand the business will be materially adversely affected. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the company be unable to continue in existence.

Nature of Business

Through our majority-owned subsidiaries, Drinks, DGI and DT Drinks, and Olifant we import, distribute and market unique premium wine and spirits and alcoholic beverages associated with icon entertainers, celebrities and destinations, to beverage wholesalers throughout the United States.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when title passes to the customer, which is generally when products are shipped.

Cash and Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

The Company from time to time maintains balances in depository accounts in excess of FDIC insured limits. The Company has not experienced any credit losses nor anticipates any future losses in such accounts. At April 30, 2009 and 2008 amounts exceeding FDIC insured limits aggregated approximately $0 and $98,000, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in first-out cost method. The Company assesses the valuation of its inventories and reduces the carrying value of those inventories that are obsolete or in excess of the Company’s forecasted usage to their estimated net realizable value. The Company estimates the net realizable value of such inventories based on analysis and assumptions including, but not limited to, historical usage, expected future demand and market requirements. A change to the carrying value of inventories is recorded to cost of goods sold.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of furniture and equipment, and amortization of leasehold improvements is provided on the straight-line method over the term of the related lease. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related depreciation is removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS No. 144), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, we review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company's policy is to record an impairment loss at each balance sheet date when it is determined that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is based on undiscounted future cash flows of the related asset. The Company concluded that there was no impairment during the years ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Income Taxes

Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes,” deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. A valuation allowance is provided to the extent a deferred tax asset is not considered recoverable.

The Company has adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” as interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” The Company has recognized no adjustment for uncertain tax provisions.

Holdings, Drinks and Olifant are C Corporations under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and applicable state statutes. Partners, Mixers and DGI are limited liability companies, taxed as partnerships with no income tax liabilities under the provisions of the Code and applicable state statutes.

F-9

Deferred Charges and Intangible Assets

Investments

The investment of the Company in 25% ownership interests of Old Whiskey River Distilling, LLC is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $11,000 and $325,000 for the years ended April 30, 2009 and 2009, respectively.

Shipping and Delivery

The Company reflects as inventory costs freight-in and related external handling charges relating to the purchase of raw materials and finished goods. These costs are charged to cost of sales at the time the underlying product is sold. The Company also incurs shipping costs on the of shipping of product to its customers. These shipping delivery costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Shipping and delivery costs were approximately $107,000 and $190,000 for the years ended April 30, 2009 and 2009, respectively.

Repairs and Maintenance

The Company charges the cost of repairs and maintenance, including the cost of replacing minor items not constituting substantial betterment, to selling, general and administrative expenses as these costs are incurred.

Stock Based Compensation

Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, whereby basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to all classes of common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of all classes of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is determined in the same manner as basic earnings per share except that the number of shares is increased to assume exercise of potentially dilutive and contingently issuable shares using the treasury stock method, unless the effect of such increase would be anti-dilutive. For the years ended April 30, 2009 and 2008, the diluted earnings per share amounts equal basic earnings per share because the Company had net losses and the impact of the assumed exercise of contingently issuable shares would have been anti-dilutive.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F-10

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

SFAS No. 107, ‘Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,’ defines the fair value of financial instruments as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing participants and requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The Company believes that there is no material difference between the fair value and the reported amounts of financial instruments in the balance sheet due to the short term maturity of these instruments, or with respect to the debt, as compared to the current borrowing rates available to the Company.

SFAS No. 157. “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities on May 1, 2008; there was no material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations at adoption.

FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” permits a one-year deferral in applying the measurement provisions of Statement No. 157 to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities (non-financial items) that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in an entity’s financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Therefore, if the change in fair value of a non-financial item is not required to be recognized or disclosed in the financial statements on an annual basis or more frequently, the effective date of application of Statement 157 to that item is deferred until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company elected to defer adoption of the provisions of SFAS 157 that relate such items until the beginning of our 2010 fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS 157, as it relates to non-financial items, will have on the Company’s operating income or net earnings.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS No. 165”). This Statement establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. This Statement is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and such, the Company will adopt SFAS No. 165 concurrent with its report filed for the interim period ending July 31, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 165 will have a material impact on its results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active” (“FSP FAS No. 157-3”), to provide guidance on determining the fair value of financial instruments in inactive markets. FSP FAS No. 157-3 became effective for the Company upon issuance. This standard had no impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. EITF 03-6-1, "Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities," which classifies unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) as participating securities and requires them to be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method described in SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share.” This Staff Position is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. All prior-period earnings per share data presented are to be adjusted retrospectively (including interim financial statements, summaries of earnings, and selected financial data) to conform to the provisions of this Staff Position, with early application not permitted. The adoption of this Staff Position, which will require us to allocate a portion of net income to these participating securities, will not have an effect on our historical reported earnings due to their anti-dilutive effect as a result of losses in all prior periods previously presented. The Company is currently evaluating effect of. FSP EITF 03-6-1, but does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its earnings per share.

On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “ Business Combinations ,” and SFAS No. 160, “ Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements , an amendment of ARB No. 51 .” Statement No. 141(R) is required to be adopted concurrently with Statement No. 160 and is effective for business combination transactions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. Application of Statement No. 141(R) and Statement No. 160 is required to be adopted prospectively, except for certain provisions of Statement No. 160, which are required to be adopted retrospectively. Business combination transactions accounted for before adoption of Statement No. 141(R) should be accounted for in accordance with Statement No. 141 and that accounting previously completed under Statement No. 141 should not be modified as of or after the date of adoption of Statement No. 141(R). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of Statement No. 141(R) and Statement No. 160, but does not expect the adoption of these pronouncements to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

F-11

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159, “ The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ” (SFAS 159), which allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities would be recognized in earnings when they occur. SFAS 159 further establishes certain additional disclosure requirements. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is affected by assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables including expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and expected term. Expected volatility is based on the historic volatility of the Company’s stock over the expected life of the option. The expected term and vesting of the option represents the estimated period of time until the exercise and is based on management’s estimates, giving consideration to the contractual term, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S . Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option. The Company has not paid dividends in the past and does not plan to pay any dividends in the near future. SFAS 123R, “Share Based Payment,” also requires the Company to estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise these estimates, if necessary, in subsequent period if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company estimates forfeitures of future experience while considering its historical experience.

The fair value of options at date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing the following weighted average assumptions:

Risk-free rate	2.0	%
Expected option life in years	5.0
Expected stock price volatility	67	%
Expected dividend yield	0	%

Also on March 12, 2009, the Company granted 1,175,000 shares of its common stock under the Plan to several of its employees as consideration for past services they have performed for the Company. The value of the stock on the date of grant aggregated $188,000 which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended April 30, 2009 and accrued expense as of April 30, 2009 as none of these shares were issued as of that date.

14. Income Taxes

No provision for taxes on income is included in the accompanying statements of operations because of the net operating losses in both fiscal years and changes in valuation allowance for the years. Holdings and Drinks previously filed income tax returns on a June 30 and December 31 tax year, respectively; however, both companies applied for and received a change in tax year to April 30 and file a federal income tax return on a consolidated basis. The consolidated net operating loss carry forward as of April 30, 2009 is approximately $28,500,000, available to offset future years' taxable income expiring in various years through 2029.

As of April 30, 2009 and 2008, components of the deferred tax assets are as follows:

		2009			2008
Net operating loss	$	10,800,000		$	9,600,000
Compensation		496,000			450,000
Royalties		50,000			-
Accounts receivable		49,000			-
Inventory		38,000			-
Stock based compensation		54,000			-
		11,487,000			10,050,000
Less valuation allowance		(11,487,000	)		(10,050,,000	)

	$	—		$	—

A valuation allowance has been provided against the entire deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of future profitability of the Company.

Management's position with respect to the likelihood of recoverability of these deferred tax assets will be evaluated each reporting period.

Reconciliation of the differences between the statutory tax rate and the effective income tax rate is as follows for the year ended April 30, 2009 and 2008:

The agreement requires minimal royalty payments through November 2012 which if not paid could result in termination of the license.

The Company under a non documented arrangement with the licensor is continuing to sell the product. The Company and licensor are currently in discussion to amend the agreement under mutually beneficial terms.

In 2008 the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Vetrerie Bruni S.p.A. (“Bruni”), which has the patent to the Trump Vodka bottle design. The agreement is retroactive to January 1, 2008 and calls for annual minimum royalties of $150,000.
