PROSPECTUS LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC. Common Stock By means of this prospectus a number of our shareholders are offering to sell up to 1,962,035 shares of our common stock at a price of $2.00 per share. If and when our common stock becomes listed on the OTC Bulletin Board the shares owned by the selling shareholders may be sold in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise, at prices and terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then-current market price, or in privately negotiated transactions. The selling shareholders may be considered underwriters as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the selling stockholders. Our common stock is not publicly traded. Although we plan to have our shares listed on the OTC Bulletin Board, we may not be successful in establishing any public market for our common stock. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. THESE SECURITIES ARE SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. FOR A DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BY PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS, SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 3 OF THIS PROSPECTUS. The date of this prospectus is __________, 2008. PROSPECTUS SUMMARY THIS SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE MORE DETAILED INFORMATION APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS. We were incorporated in Colorado in 1988. In 1998 and 1999 we did business under the name USA Service Systems, Inc. and we provided retail stores and manufacturers with product assembly, product demonstrations, and inventory counts and audits. In July 1999 we discontinued this business since it was not profitable. In August 1999 we acquired East Coast Beverage Corp., changed our name to East Coast Beverage Corp. and manufactured and sold bottled coffee drinks to supermarkets, mass-marketers, convenience stores, drug store chains and oil company convenience stores. However, we were never able to generate a profit, suffered substantial losses and discontinued our bottled coffee operations in October 2001. On April 11, 2002 we filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. Our Plan of Reorganization was approved by a majority of our creditors and confirmed by the Federal Bankruptcy Court in July 2003. The success of our bankruptcy plan depended on commissions we would receive from the sale of olive oil products. When it became apparent that commissions from the sale of olive oil would generate little, if any, revenues, we began to look for a privately held corporation which would be interested in a merger to take advantage of our shareholder base and net operating losses. In August 2007 we acquired Liquor Group Wholesale, Incorporated, a Florida corporation. Since that time we have managed all wholesale operations and received all net profits generated from the wholesale distribution of liquor and wine to the customers of Liquor Group Holdings. Liquor Group Holdings was organized in Florida in 2002 and distributes over 1,500 alcohol products on behalf of manufacturers to customers in 31 U.S. states. Unless otherwise indicated, any reference to us includes the wholesale operations of Liquor Group Holdings. Our offices are located at 4600 Touchton Road, Building 100, Suite 150, Jacksonville, FL 32246. Our telephone number is (904) 285-5885. As of May 31, 2008 we had 9,512,851 outstanding shares of common stock. Our website is www.liquorgroup.com. The Offering By means of this prospectus a number of our shareholders are offering to sell up to 1,962,035 shares of our common stock at a price of $2.00 per share. If and when our common stock becomes listed on the OTC Bulletin Board the shares owned by the selling shareholders may be sold in the over-the-counter market, or 2 otherwise, at prices and terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then-current market price, or in negotiated transactions. The purchase of the securities offered by this prospectus involves a high degree of risk. Risk factors include the lack of any relevant operating history and our possible need to sell shares of our common stock to raise additional capital. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 3 of this prospectus for additional Risk Factors. Financial Information For financial statement purposes, our acquisition of the wholesale operations of Liquor Group Holdings was treated as a reverse acquisition and as though Liquor Group Holdings had acquired us. Accordingly, as of August 31, 2007, and for all prior periods, the historical financial statements of Liquor Group Holdings (wholesale operations only) are considered our historical financial statements.

When used in this prospectus, the words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements may include statements regarding seeking business opportunities, payment of operating expenses, and the like, and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions which could cause actual results to differ materially from projections or estimates. Factors which 3 could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed at length under the heading "Risk Factors". Should one or more of the enumerated risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, all of which speak only as of the date made. RISK FACTORS Investors should be aware that this offering involves certain risks, including those described below, which could adversely affect the value of our common stock. We do not make, nor have we authorized any other person to make, any representation about the future market value of our common stock. In addition to the other information contained in this prospectus, the following factors should be considered carefully in evaluating an investment in our common stock. Future operating results are uncertain and we may not be profitable in the future. Price increases or lack of product availability may affect our operating results. We will be subject to brand suppliers' price determinations and may not be able to pass on any price increases to customers. From time to time, we will also be impacted by certain products not being available or having product availability restricted under allocation arrangements. A substantial portion of our business is concentrated in Florida and Michigan and is therefore impacted by the general economic conditions in those States. Our operating results will also be dependent on our ability to properly manage operating and administrative costs. Our ability to control these costs in the future will be impacted by a number of factors, including fuel costs and employee benefits. Our failure to obtain capital may restrict our proposed operations. We may need additional capital. However, we do not have any commitments from any person to provide us with any additional capital. We do not know what the terms of any future capital raising may be but any future sale of our equity securities would dilute the ownership of existing stockholders and could be at prices substantially below the price of the shares of common stock sold in this offering. Our failure to obtain the capital which we require may result in our inability to expand our market and increase sales. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any capital which we will need. If we lose some of distribution rights our revenues will decline. The wine and spirits wholesale distribution industry has undergone significant changes in recent years. Rapid consolidation has occurred in the supplier sector and consolidation has led to extensive realignment of distributor relationships. This realignment could result in the loss of distribution rights and other adverse changes. We are dependent upon our suppliers of key brands. Written distribution agreements with several brand suppliers are typically extended on an annual basis but are terminable upon 30 to 90 days written notice due to failure to meet sales quotas or breaches of the agreements. Several agreements have longer 4 terms but may also be terminated under certain circumstances. The loss of key brand suppliers would have a material adverse impact on our operations. From time to time, distributors pay brand suppliers for the rights to add key brands or enter new markets. As previously noted, a number of our competitors have greater financial resources and as a policy we do not participate in this practice, albeit legal. Additionally, in recent years several major brand suppliers have undertaken programs designed to consolidate and realign their distributor relationships. If we are not able to pay our suppliers on a timely basis we may lose important distribution rights. As of May 31, 2008 our accounts payable, which primarily represent amounts due our suppliers, were $1,170,921 or almost 11.3 times more than our shareholders' equity. If for any reason we are unable to pay a supplier on a timely basis (generally within 90 days of a sale) the supplier may stop shipping product, which would result in a decrease in our sales. Our participation in promotional activities for brand suppliers and customers increases our cost of doing business. Suppliers of alcohol-based beverages are increasingly requesting that their distributors, such as us, be responsible for activities and related costs formerly undertaken by the suppliers as they attempt to reduce their operating costs. The payment of these promotional costs will reduce our net income and may result in operating losses. We may be required to pay note holders more than what we have accrued on our balance sheet. As of May 31, 2008 we had accrued $78,900 as the amount we believe is owed to note holders for amounts borrowed prior to 2007. However the note holders have filed a lawsuit contending that we owe them approximately $128,900. If the note holders are correct, we will be forced to pay them an additional $50,000, plus accrued interest, which could strain our ability to pay our vendors on time. The enforcement of a federal tax lien would hamper our ability to pay our other creditors. Prior to July 2003, we failed to pay the Internal Revenue Service income and employment taxes which we withheld from our employees. In June 2006, the IRS filed a Notice of Federal Tax Lien against us in the amount of $128,762. If we are unable to negotiate a payment plan or a reduction in the amount of the lien the IRS may enforce the lien by levying our bank accounts, accounts receivable and other assets. Compliance with government regulations pertaining to the liquor industry may result in increased costs. The distribution of alcohol-based beverages is subject to extensive regulation, which requires us to obtain and renew various permits and licenses to import, warehouse, transport, distribute and sell wine and spirits. As a condition to holding these permits and licenses, compliance with applicable 5 Federal and State regulations is necessary. Various government regulations applicable to the alcohol-based beverage industry may be changed so as to impose more stringent requirements on our operations. We depend upon our executive officers, particularly C. J. Eiras, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and the loss of the services of any of our officers could adversely affect our business. If our officers lose their licenses from federal or state regulatory agencies, we would be unable to conduct business until their licenses are reinstated. Our officers, directors and principal shareholders must be qualified by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau and state regulatory agencies to hold licenses/permits as a wholesaler/importer. The loss of these licenses would prevent us from importing and distributing alcohol-based beverages. Our officers and directors own a majority of our common stock and will continue to control us after this offering. Our current officers and directors are able to control the election of directors, the appointment of officers, and the outcome of other corporate actions requiring shareholder approval. As a result of this concentration of ownership, our shareholders do no have the voting power to change management, even if a change in management would be perceived by the investment community as being beneficial. Our officers do not plan to devote their full time to our business. Our officers and directors are not required to, and may not commit their full time to our business. Our officers and directors are engaged in other business endeavors and are not obligated to contribute any specific amount of time to our business. Since our officers plan to devote only a portion of their time to our business, our revenues may be less than if we had full time management. Future transactions with officers and directors may not be on terms as favorable as we could obtain in similar transactions with persons who do not have a relationship with us. As explained in the section of this prospectus entitled "Management", we have agreements with companies which are controlled by some of our officers and directors. The terms of these agreements were determined by our officers and directors who may benefit if the terms of these agreements are not as favorable as those which we could have obtained from unrelated third parties. To the extent we have future transactions with our officers or directors, or with companies controlled by our officers and directors, it is possible that the terms of these transactions may be more favorable to our officers, directors and their affiliated companies than to us. As of the date of this prospectus, there was no public market for our common stock and if no public market develops, purchasers of the shares offered by this prospectus may be unable to sell their shares. 6 If purchasers are unable to sell their shares, purchasers may never be able to recover any amounts which they paid for our shares. The issuance of preferred stock may be detrimental to the interests of shareholders owning our common stock. As of the date of this prospectus we had 953,460 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred stock. Each Series A Preferred share is entitled to 45 votes on any matter submitted to our shareholders for approval. The Series A Preferred shares also have a preference over any dividends which we may pay to the holders of our common stock. The provisions in our Articles of Incorporation relating to preferred stock allows our directors to issued preferred stock with rights to multiple votes per share and divided rights which would have priority over any dividends paid with respect to our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock with these rights may prevent the removal of management even if any removal would be considered beneficial to shareholders generally, and will have the effect of limiting shareholder participation in transactions such as mergers or tender offers if these transactions are not favored by incumbent management. Shares issuable upon the conversion of our Series A Preferred stock may substantially increase the number of shares available for sale in the public market, should a public market for our stock ever develop, and may depress the price of our common stock. As of the date of this prospectus we had outstanding Series A Preferred shares which allow the holders to acquire 42,905,700 additional shares of our common stock. Until converted, the holders of the preferred shares will have the opportunity to profit from any increase in the market price of our common stock, should a market for our common stock ever develop, without assuming the risks of ownership. Although the Series A Preferred shares may not be converted until September 1, 2008, the conversion of these shares will dilute the voting interest of the owners of our presently outstanding shares by substantially increasing the number of our outstanding shares. Should a market for our common stock ever develop, disclosure requirements pertaining to penny stocks may reduce the level of trading activity in the market for our common stock and investors may find it difficult to sell their shares. If a market ever develops for our common stock, trades of our common stock will be subject to Rule 15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which rule imposes certain requirements on broker/dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, brokers/dealers must make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to sale. The Securities and Exchange Commission also has rules that regulate broker/dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in that security is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker/ dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny 7 stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker/dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker/dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker/dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK Prior to June 2001 our common stock traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. In June 2001 our common stock was delisted from the OTC Bulletin Board. After that time our common stock traded on a sporadic basis in the unorganized inter-dealer over-the-counter market through the "Pink Sheets" and under the symbol "ECBV". Our common stock essentially stopped trading in November 2006 and, as of the date of this prospectus, there was no market for our common stock. Prior to January 31, 2007 we were required to file reports on Form 10-KSB and Form 10-QSB, as well as other reports, with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Between September 2000 and January 2007 we did not file any reports with the SEC and on January 31, 2007 we consented to an order revoking our registration pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of the date of this prospectus we had 9,512,851 outstanding shares of common stock, of which 8,425,886 shares were "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the SEC. Of these restricted shares, 5,578,076 shares may be sold at any time in accordance with Rule 144 and the remaining restricted shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 ninety days after the date of this prospectus. By means of this prospectus we are registering for public sale 1,962,035 restricted shares which are not presently available for sale under Rule 144. As of the date of this prospectus we had 953,460 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred stock. Beginning September 1, 2008 the Series A Preferred shares may be converted into 42,905,700 shares of our common stock. See "Business - Acquisition of Liquor Group Wholesale" for information concerning restrictions on the conversion of the Series A Preferred shares. As of the date of this prospectus we had approximately 378 shareholders of record for our common stock and eight shareholders of record for our preferred stock. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available and, in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of our assets after payment of liabilities. Our Board of Directors is not obligated to declare a common stock dividend. 8 The holders of our Series A preferred shares have a preference over any dividends which we may pay to the holders of our common stock. However, we have not paid any dividends and we do not have any current plans to pay any dividends to the holders of either our common or Series A preferred stock. The provisions in our Articles of Incorporation relating to our preferred stock would allow our directors to issue preferred stock with rights to multiple votes per share and dividends rights which would have priority over any dividends paid with respect to our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock with such rights may make more difficult the removal of management even if such removal would be considered beneficial to shareholders generally, and will have the effect of limiting shareholder participation in certain transactions such as mergers or tender offers if such transactions are not favored by incumbent management. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION Overview Between October 2001 and August 31, 2007 we were inactive. On August 31, 2007 we acquired a Florida corporation named Liquor Group Wholesale, Incorporated. Liquor Group Wholesale was recently formed to take over the wholesale alcohol distribution operations of Liquor Group Holdings, LLC, effective as of September 1, 2007. Pursuant to an agreement between Liquor Group Wholesale and Liquor Group Holdings, Liquor Group Wholesale manages all wholesale operations and receives all net profits generated from the wholesale distribution of liquor to the customers of Liquor Group Holdings. Liquor Group Holdings was organized in Florida in 2002 and distributes alcohol products on behalf of manufacturers in 31 U.S. states. Two important factors which influence our net income are our sales volume and the prices charged to us by our suppliers. Our sales volume for any given period is influenced by brand recognition among consumers of the products we sell, the prices charged by our competitors for products in the same categories as ours, and the amount spent by our suppliers on promotion (such as advertising and in-store tastings). The price per product unit from our suppliers is generally established by contract as a base price delivered to the customer. We mark up this price to cover our expenses and provide a profit. Suppliers typically will raise their prices by a modest amount at the end of each contract term to adjust for inflation and higher costs of transportation. However, suppliers often lower their prices: o to help jump-start sales if sales are weak or have softened from the previous year. o if field research or pricing trends point towards a downturn in the shelf prices of a particular brand category. 9 o as a result of seasonal trends (i.e. holidays) or pre-planned price decreases (i.e. sporting events) for a given time period. o as a reward if we achieve sales goals in a specific market. Generally, and unless the price decrease is to reward us for meeting sales goals, we pass any price reduction on to our customers. Inflation has not had a material impact on our operations since for the most part we are able to pass on to our customers any price increases from our suppliers. Financial Information For financial statement purposes, our acquisition of the wholesale operations of Liquor Group Holdings was treated as a reverse acquisition and as though Liquor Group Holdings had acquired us. Accordingly, as of August 31, 2007, and for all prior periods, the historical financial statements of Liquor Group Holdings (wholesale operations only) are considered our historical financial statements. During the year ended August 31, 2007 the only material changes in our balance sheet components were as follows: Category Explanation -------- ----------- Cash During the year ended August 31, 2007 we raised $130,000 from the sale of our common stock. We did not have a cash balance as of August 31, 2006 since the wholesale division of Liquor Group Holdings did not have a bank account on that date. Accounts Receivable The increase was due to higher sales of $308,179, price adjustments made during the year of $146,176 and price concessions from affiliated brand suppliers of Liquor Group Holdings that were contributed to us in the form of receivables totaling $235,764. Accounts Payable When we make a sale we record a receivable for the sale price and a payable for the cost of the product. We normally pay our suppliers within 7-14 days of the date we receive payment from a customer. Accordingly, our accounts payable will normally increase or decrease in line with our receivables. Other Liabilities As a result of our combination with Liquor Group Holdings, our August 31, 2007 balance sheet 10 reflects a tax liability of $143,061 relating to delinquent payroll taxes and penalties which we incurred when we were selling bottled coffee drinks. See Note 3 to our August 31, 2007 financial statements for more information. Notes Payable As a result of our combination with Liquor Group Holdings, our August 31, 2007 balance sheet reflects a liability of $78,900 relating to amounts we borrowed prior to August 31, 2007. See Note 4 to our August 31, 2007 financial statements for more information. During the nine months ended May 31, 2008 the only material changes in our balance sheet components were as follows: Category Explanation -------- ----------- Cash During the period our operations used $107,012 of cash and we spent $36,335 in preparing this prospectus and the related registration statement. Accrued Expenses and During the period we used some of our cash on hand at Other Liabilities September 1, 2007 to reduce our liabilities. Results of Operations Material changes in items in our Statement of Operations for the year ended August 31, 2007, as compared to the same period in the prior year, are discussed below: Increase (I) or Item Decrease (D) Reason ---- --------------- ------ Sales I During the period the number of products we offered increased by approximately 400. Gross profit, as a I A number of the new products we began to percent of sales sell during the year had higher margins than the products sold in the prior year. This factor, coupled with existing suppliers that also lowered their prices, resulted in higher gross profits for the year. The increase in our margins ranged from 5% to 50%, depending on the product. Operating Expenses I Operating expenses increased primarily as the result of bank charges. During the period we changed banks. Our new bank did not give us credit for some 11 deposits as quickly as our old bank. Accordingly, we incurred charges when the bank paid checks we drew on our account before deposits were fully credited. Material changes in items in our Statement of Operations for the three months ended May 31, 2008, as compared to the same period in the prior year, are discussed below: Increase (I) or Item Decrease (D) Reason ---- --------------- ------ Sales D During the period Happy Vodka, one of our largest vendors, relocated its U.S. customs facility. As a result, shipments and sales to our customers were delayed. Gross profit, as a I Price reductions from Happy Vodka percent of sales averaging 50% Operating Expenses I Interest expense relating to a liability for delinquent payroll taxes and penalties which we incurred when we were selling bottled coffee drinks. See Note 3 to our August 31, 2007 financial statements for more information. Material changes in items in our Statement of Operations for the nine months ended May 31, 2008, as compared to the same period in the prior year, are discussed below: Increase (I) or Item Decrease (D) Reason ---- --------------- ------ Sales D During the period Happy Vodka, one of our largest vendors, relocated its U.S. customs facility. As a result, shipments and sales to our customers were delayed. Gross profit, as a I Price reductions from Happy percent of sales Vodka averaging 50%. Operating Expenses I Interest expense relating to a liability for delinquent payroll taxes and penalties which we incurred when we were selling bottled coffee drinks, costs to license our company with state government agencies, personnel and administrative 12 costs associated with the preparation and filing of our registration statement as well as expenses classified as "other" such as the establishment of our website and telephone, postage and printing expenses. Liquidity and Capital Resources Liquidity and Capital Resources Our sources and (uses) of cash, combined with the wholesale operations of Liquor Group Holdings, during the years ended August 31, 2007 and 2006 were: 2007 2006 ---- ---- Cash provided (used) by operations $(20,975) $(53,975) Proceeds from sale of stock $130,000 -- Our sources and (uses) of cash during the nine months ended May 31, 2008 and May 31, 2007 (unaudited) were: 2008 2007 ---- ---- Cash used by operations $(107,012) $ -- Sale of common stock 14,515 -- Registration statement costs (36,335) -- Use of cash on hand at beginning of period 128,832 -- We believe that cash generated from our operations will enable us to slowly expand our markets and increase sales. However, with additional capital, we believe that our expansion could occur much faster. However, as of the date of this prospectus we had not made any decision as to whether we will attempt to raise additional capital. We believe that our cash on hand and collections from accounts receivable will satisfy our working capital requirements if we decide to expand without raising additional capital. We do not have any commitments or arrangements from any persons to provide us with any additional capital we may need. Although the occurrence of events described in the "Risk Factors" section of this prospectus may have an adverse impact on us, we do not know of any challenges, risks, demands, commitments, events, trends or uncertainties which would materially affect our future operating results or liquidity and capital resources. We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements. 13 BUSINESS BACKGROUND - ---------- We are a Colorado corporation formed in 1986. In 1998 and 1999 we did business under the name USA Service Systems, Inc. Between November 1998 and July 1999 we provided retail stores and manufacturers with product assembly, product demonstrations, and inventory counts and audits. In July 1999 we discontinued this business since it was not profitable. In August 1999 we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of East Coast Beverage Corp. in exchange for 5,040,000 shares of our common stock. After August 31, 1999 we changed our name to East Coast Beverage Corp. and our business involved the development, production and distribution of bottled coffee drinks. We sold our products through distributors and wholesalers to supermarkets, mass-marketers, convenience stores, drug store chains and oil company convenience stores. However, we were never able to generate a profit, suffered substantial losses and discontinued our bottled coffee operations in October 2001. On April 11, 2002 we filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. Our Plan of Reorganization was approved by a majority of our creditors and confirmed by the Federal Bankruptcy Court in July 2003. Among other things, the Plan of Reorganization provided for the following: 1. The reverse split of our common stock so that each outstanding share was converted into 1/15th of one share. Since there were 15,704,469 outstanding shares prior to the bankruptcy, 1,046,965 shares were retained by our shareholders after the reverse split. In addition, each common shareholder received one warrant for each share held after the reverse split. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $1.75 per share at any time prior to January 1, 2008. 2. The issuance of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock to Royal Brokerage Group in exchange for 10% of the gross revenues which may be received by Royal from the sale of olive oil products. At the time our bankruptcy plan was confirmed Royal Brokerage Group had the right to distribute in the Eastern United States, olive oil, olives, wine vinegar, and related products which were manufactured by Carbonell de Cordoba, S.A. of Spain. In consideration for 2,000,000 shares of our common stock, Royal agreed to pay us 10% of the gross amount received by Royal from the sale of Carbonell products. 3. Unsecured creditors (Class 4 creditors) could either obtain payment of their claims, up to a maximum of $3,500,000 from a percentage of our profits over time or convert their debt into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of $1.75 per share. 4. The change of our name to North American Food and Beverage Corp. 14 When it became apparent that commissions from the sale of olive oil would generate little, if any, revenues which could be used to pay our creditors, we began to look for a privately held corporation which would be interested in a merger to take advantage of our shareholder base and, for income tax purposes, make use of our net operating losses, which amounted to approximately $25,600,000 as of September 30, 2007. ACQUISITION OF LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE - ------------------------------------- In 2006 we began discussions with Liquor Group Holdings LLC, a Florida limited liability company, which, since 2002, has been engaged in the wholesale and state level distribution of liquor and wine. The discussions began with the introduction in May 2006 of C.J. Eiras, the President of Liquor Group Holdings to Arnold Rosen, one of our directors. Prior to the signing of this Agreement no other agreements existed between us, or any person controlling us, and Liquor Group Holdings, or any person controlling Liquor Group Holdings. The terms of January 2007 Agreement were negotiated directly between William R. Smith, our former President and a director, Mr. Rosen and Mr. Eiras. No other parties, with the exception of our attorneys and the attorneys for Liquor Group Wholesale, were involved in the negotiations. In January 2007 we signed an agreement to acquire Liquor Group Wholesale, Incorporated in return for shares of our common and Series A preferred stock. The consideration to be given to the shareholders of Liquor Group Wholesale was determined by multiplying the number of our outstanding shares by 44% and allocating that number between shares of common stock and shares of Series A Preferred stock. The Series A Preferred stock was used to prevent a large number of common shares from being available for public sale at any one time. See "Description of Securities" for information concerning the terms of the Series A preferred stock. Liquor Group Wholesale is a Florida corporation which was recently formed to take over the wholesale alcohol distribution operations of Liquor Group Holdings. Pursuant to an agreement between Liquor Group Wholesale and Liquor Group Holdings, Liquor Group Wholesale, as of September 1, 2007, manages all wholesale operations and receives all net profits generated from the wholesale distribution of liquor to the customers of Liquor Group Holdings. Liquor Group Holdings was organized in Florida in 2002 and distributes alcohol products on behalf of manufacturers in 31 US States. The acquisition of Liquor Group Wholesale was contingent upon the following: 1. The return and cancellation of up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock so that the number of our outstanding shares following the acquisition would be less than 10,000,000. 15 2. Persons holding Class 4 creditor claims of not less than $3,250,000 agreeing to waive any right they may have to any distributions contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization and accepting one share of our common stock in full settlement of each $24.50 which we owed to them. On August 31, 2007 we met these contingencies and acquired all of the outstanding shares of Liquor Group Wholesale in consideration for the issuance of the shares of our common and Series A Preferred stock to the following persons: Shares Name Common Series A Preferred ---- ------ ------------------ VIGOR Holding Company 500,000 753,460 (1) C. J. Eiras 500,000 170,000 Gray C. Solomon 350,000 10,000 Lowell Newman 50,000 5,000 Steven Dodge 50,000 5,000 Jan Philippe Eiras 350,000 10,000 Third parties 200,000 - ---------- ------------- Total: 2,000,000 953,460 ========== ============= (1) Vigor Holding Company is controlled by C.J. Eiras. Vigor Holdings subsequently assigned 7,777 shares of the Series A preferred stock to Arnold Rosen and 5,000 Series A preferred shares to an unrelated third party. Each Series A preferred share may, at the option of the Holder, be converted into 45 shares of our common stock. Each Series A preferred share is entitled to 45 votes on any matter submitted to our shareholders. Each Series A preferred share is entitled to an annual dividend of $1.00 per share, if such a dividend is authorized by our directors. Our directors are not required to declare any dividends and dividends not declared will not accumulate. The Series A preferred shares may not be converted until September 1, 2008. Vigor Holding Company and C.J. Eiras, the largest holders of our Series A preferred shares, have agreed that, unless we are sold or merged into an unaffiliated corporation, between September 1, 2008 and August 31, 2012 they will convert not more than 10,000 preferred shares (or 20,000 shares in total) each year. We will not register any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Series A preferred shares and it is not expected that a public market will ever develop for the Series A preferred shares. Any shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A preferred shares will be restricted securities and may, after August 31, 2008, be sold to a market-maker or in brokerage transactions, provided that the amount sold does not, during any three-month period, exceed l% of our outstanding common stock. We did not use any third party consultants in determining the terms of the acquisition. 16 Following the acquisition of Liquor Group Wholesale, William Smith resigned as our President and as a director, and C.J. Eiras, Lowell Newman, Steven Dodge, Jason Bandy and Jan Philippe Eiras were appointed as our officers and directors. Arnold Rosen remained as one of our directors. None of our officers, directors or control persons received any cash consideration in connection with the acquisition of Liquor Group Wholesale, and we did not pay, or enter into any agreements relating to the payment of, any finders or consulting fees in connection with the acquisition. The shares of common stock outstanding after the acquisition of Liquor Group Wholesale, and as of the date of this prospectus, as well as the shares which may be issued upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred stock are shown below: Shares outstanding prior to acquisition of Liquor Group Wholesale 8,717,562 Shares of common stock issued to the shareholders of Liquor Group Wholesale 2,000,000 Shares issued to Class 4 creditors in settlement of their claims 124,985 Shares returned to treasury and cancelled (2,000,000) Shares issued to Arnold Rosen for his services in structuring the acquisition of Liquor Group Holdings 500,000 Shares issued to Arnold Rosen in payment of amounts advanced to or on behalf of us 33,972 Shares issued to unrelated third parties in payment of amounts owed by us prior to the acquisition of Liquor Group Holdings 63,038 Shares sold to private investors at a price of $2.00 per share 65,000 Shares issued upon exercise of warrants 8,294 --------- Shares outstanding as of the date of this prospectus 9,512,851 ========= Potential number of shares issuable upon conversion of Series A preferred shares 42,905,700 (1) (1) The number of Series A preferred shares which can be converted during any single year is limited.

BUSINESS OF LGW - --------------- Unless otherwise indicated, all references to our company include the wholesale liquor distribution business of Liquor Group Holdings. General information that follows pertaining to the liquor industry was obtained from www.discus.org. On December 20, 2007 we changed our name to Liquor Group Wholesale, Inc. Our major markets are Florida and Michigan, which are the second and sixth largest markets for spirits in the United States, respectively. Other states in which we have active sales efforts and or licensed operations include: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West 17 Virginia, Oklahoma, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin and Indiana. We have sales contracts for several products in distribution in other states making up the balance of the 31 markets. One of our state level distribution clients, Liquor Group Florida, LLC is a fully licensed beer, wine and spirits distributor holding the fourth largest spirits portfolio in Florida. Another of our state level distribution clients, Liquor Group Michigan, LLC is a fully licensed control state broker which currently has the fourth largest spirits portfolio in Michigan. Industry Overview - ----------------- The wine and spirits wholesale industry has undergone significant changes in recent years. Rapid consolidation has occurred in the supplier sector, and distributors have expanded their operations to cover a larger number of states, resulting in consolidation among distributors. Although the market is still quite fragmented in several states, only two major distributors are operating, and the trend toward consolidation in the industry is continuing. Since the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, Federal and State governments have regulated the sale of spirits, wine, and beer. State regulatory frameworks fall into two types: control and open (commonly referred to as licensed). In the 18 control States*, the State controls the distribution and/or the retail sale of alcohol beverages. In open States the distributors and retailers are privately owned businesses. In the open "franchise" States, there are laws and regulations that restrict the brand suppliers' ability to change distributors affording distributors additional protection for their efforts. * Control States include: Alabama, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Maryland - (Montgomery County), Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wyoming. Under the three-tier regulatory framework established by Federal and State law, brand suppliers of alcohol-based beverages are generally prohibited from selling their products directly to retail outlets or consumers, effectively requiring brand suppliers to utilize distributors such as us. This regulatory framework effectively insulates distributors from vertical competition from brand suppliers or retail customers. Certain large chain retailers have challenged the three tier structure in particular States in an attempt to gain favorable pricing directly from wineries and breweries. A successful challenge to the three-tier system has not occurred, but is a potential long term threat to the current framework. In "Control States" the State law has historically mandated the state to act as the exclusive wholesale distributor and/or retailer of alcohol-based beverages. Brand suppliers must utilize state licensed "Brokers" to properly represent their products in the control state marketplace. In 1996, Michigan became the first control state to privatize aspects of the wholesale distribution of spirits, and Liquor Group Michigan, LLC, an affiliated company, is one of the larger brokerages of spirits in Michigan. Given the three tier regulatory structure, the wine and spirits distribution industry varies greatly from other industries such as food, drugs, non-alcohol-based beverages or similar products. As brand suppliers can compete directly with the distributors in these other industries by shipping directly to 18 retailers, distributor margins tend to be much lower than those in the wine and spirits industry. Brand Suppliers and Products - ---------------------------- We sell more than 1,500 individual products to our customers. In each of the last three fiscal years, sales of wine and spirits to wholesale customers accounted for more than 95% of the consolidated revenue of Liquor Group Holdings. In most states liquor distributors are required by law to have exclusive relationships with brand suppliers. We have agreements with the majority of our brand suppliers that generally may be extended on a bi-annual basis but are only terminable upon 30 to 90 days written notice upon our failure to perform our duties, including any agreed upon sales quotas. We have entered into these various long-term agreements with certain brand suppliers in an effort towards "Brand Alignment", a key component in its business model. In addition, we have informal arrangements with a very small percentage of our brand suppliers whereby we distribute the brand suppliers' products pursuant to bailment orders without written distribution agreements. Although the terminable written agreements provide us with the exclusive right to distribute the brand suppliers' products in a particular State, in practice the brand suppliers have generally selected a distributor to be the exclusive distributor of specified products in each state. We presently act as the exclusive distributor with respect to virtually all of the products we distribute. Liquor Group Holding's import division holds exclusive import rights with several brands that we represent. Liquor Group Holdings also holds agreements for overriding distribution rights to expand our operations with several brand suppliers in markets where the brand supplier currently uses other distribution methods. During the periods presented, the percent of our total product purchased from our largest vendors were: Nine Months Ended Year Ended Name May 31, 2008 August 31, 2007 ---- ----------------- --------------- Happy Vodka Corporation/ Urban Brands & Spirits 16% 10% Spirits of Valley Forge 14% -- Three-D Spirits, Inc. 20% 8% Classic Wine Imports -- 21% VMI, Ltd. 32% 3% Kazbo Imports 13% -- Hood River Distillers, Inc. 12% 7% Old St. Andrews, Ltd. -- 9% Guetsso 25% -- Wolffer Estate Vineyard 21% -- 19 Customers - --------- Our only customers are State Level Clients (SLC), which consist of licensed liquor distributors, and the 18 Control States. Most states require wine and spirits retailers to purchase alcohol-based beverages from licensed distributors. Brand suppliers in these states may not legally sell directly to retail customers. In "license states" customers fall into two broad categories, depending on where the alcohol-based beverage ultimately will be consumed: on-premise and off-premise. Off-premise customers include package liquor stores, grocery stores, alcohol licensed drug stores and mass merchandisers. On-premise customers include hotels, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, golf clubhouses and similar establishments. During the year ended August 31, 2007, and the nine months ended May 31, 2008, sales to Liquor Group Florida, LLC (which is controlled by our President) represented 54% and 42% respectively of our total revenues. In licensed states alcohol beverage licensees are abundant; in fact no single state level licensee customer represented more than 5.0% of our revenues during the year ended August 31, 2007 or the nine months ended May 31, 2008. Our products are generally placed in bailment with these SLC to be sold to their customers under standard purchase orders or individual representative orders. We believe that the regulatory nature of the alcohol distribution industry strengthens our business liquidity and operational freedom with its SLC. One example of such advantageous regulation is in Florida, which has a 15-day credit law beyond which retail customers are restricted from buying alcohol-based beverages from any distributor in the market; many other states have similar strict credit laws siding with the distributor (cash on delivery, or "COD" terms in some cases), providing us with a relatively safe credit risk with our SLC. On the other end of the client spectrum are the Control States which pay us for 100% of the product distributed within their borders backed by the full credit and sovereignty of the individual state. The average bad debt expense for our state level clientele in the past five fiscal years has been approximately 0.001% of total revenue. Marketing and Sales - ------------------- We recognize the benefits of a dedicated approach to brand management, and separating it from sales execution is important. Brand suppliers appreciate and depend upon the local expertise and understanding of the intricacies of the market that a distributor can provide. We analyze the competitive landscape, and through interaction with our sales teams adjust brand suppliers' marketing strategies to work better. We use sales divisions to adapt to industry changes and product portfolio growth. Under this structure products are positioned in the market to gain focus. Although we have used this structure for more than three years in Florida, recent supplier consolidation has led to the creation of separate sales divisions in Michigan, as well as an expanded organization in Virginia and other markets. Our organizational design is predicated upon category knowledge and expertise, trade channel knowledge, and geographic coverage. Through our marketing and sales force, we act as the top level marketing arm of our brand suppliers by maintaining regular contact with our customers. Our sales strategy focuses on the purchasing departments of independents, national chains, membership clubs, and grocery chains to pave the way for more sales within the geographic territory. Additionally, we provide our customers with a wide variety of services, including item selection, SKU optimization and fact-based business presentations. 20 Warehousing and Distribution - ---------------------------- We never take possession of any products as they are transferred from manufacturers to the SLC directly. Our SLC operations utilize a series master warehouses strategically located throughout the U.S. and Control State warehouses to store and ship products pending sale to customers. Our SLC customers ordinarily receive either next day or second-day delivery in most markets. In general, an SLC's orders are collected and immediately processed during the day for batch routing and order "picking". The master warehouses each use an automated material handling system, including scanners, dispensers and sorters. Products from the master warehouses are then often shuttled nightly to a cross-docking facility where the orders are consolidated and loaded onto delivery trucks. Cross-docking facilities further extend the service areas of the master warehouses. Orders for delivery are picked in the master warehouses, shipped in during the night, and then transferred onto local delivery trucks for final delivery. As a result of a number of factors, including state laws and regulations, our SLCs maintain independent distribution networks in each of their territories. Competition - ----------- There are significant barriers to entry into the wholesale wine and spirits distribution business. These barriers include established supplier-distributor relationships, specialized distribution equipment such as material handling systems and delivery vehicles, important industry knowledge regarding pricing, inventory management, and distribution logistics, not to mention the cost of licenses, inventory, equipment, delivery vehicles and cash or surety bond requirements. Historically, it is extremely rare for organizations not already engaged as wine and spirits distributors to enter the business. New distributors typically enter existing markets through acquisition. Our operations are less cumbersome than the typical wholesale operator since we merely facilitate the transaction between the manufacturer and the SLC's. The wine and spirits wholesale distribution business is highly competitive. Intuitively one would think that our primary competition includes Southern Wine & Spirits, Charmer Sunbelt, Premier Beverage, Republic/National Distributing Company and Glazier's. This in fact is not the case, as the bulk of the business operations of these organizations is built on "popular priced" commodity products often referred to as "well products". These distribution power houses often vie for the top selling brands which demand exclusive attention and command smaller margins. This leaves the mid to small brands with less attention making them wide open for us to contract. Given the ongoing consolidation among distributors as well as brand suppliers, the competitive landscape is subject to continuing change. Distributors commonly compete for new brand suppliers or brands based on reputation, market share, access to customers and ability to satisfy supplier demands, however a more recent trend is to rely only on the major brand families to provide enough product variety to sustain and grow a distribution operation. This however is not our goal or modus operandi, as we attempt to provide a variety of products that suit the needs of our customers, regardless of the supplier. 21 Government Regulation - --------------------- The manufacturing, importation, distribution and sale of alcohol-based beverages are subject to regulation by the Federal government through the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), as well as by State and local regulatory agencies. Brand suppliers, distributors and retailers must be properly licensed in order to sell alcohol-based beverages. In most states, the alcohol-based beverage industry operates within what is commonly referred to as a three-tier system of distribution. The three tiers are identified as follows: (1) (2) (3). Tier one (1) is comprised of brand suppliers and manufacturers that produce alcohol-based beverages and/or importers of alcohol-based beverages, bringing products into the United States through US Customs control. Tier two (2) is comprised of SLC distributors, other sub-distributors and the Control States which in turn market the products through brokers. Tier three (3) is comprised of licensees, both on and off premise customers, commonly referred to as retailers which sell the products to the public consumers. Under this system, brand suppliers and manufacturers sell to distributors and or Control States, distributors and or Control States sell to licensees or state stores, and licensees or state stores sell to consumers. For the most part, brand suppliers may not sell to licensees or consumers and distributors may not sell directly to consumers. All States prohibit brand suppliers or distributors from having an interest in retail licensees. We are a Tier two (2) distributor. We hold out-of-State shipper permits that allow us to ship products from one State to a licensed distributor in any one of the other States or to any Control State. We also have a unique relationship with many of our brand suppliers in Control States where we act as both the vendor of product to the Control State on behalf of the actual brand supplier while an affiliated company acts as the broker for the brands within the Control State to provide a turn key service and generate additional revenues for us. Our officers, directors and principal owners must be qualified by the TTB and state regulatory agencies to hold licenses/permits as a wholesaler/importer. The TTB grants authorization to operate alcohol and tobacco-related businesses under the Internal Revenue Code and the Federal Alcohol Administration Act. Any person wanting to operate a business governed by the IRC or the FAA must file an application with the TTB for a permit along with all necessary documents. The basic application for a permit consists of two pages and is filed with the TTB's offices in Cincinnati, Ohio. If the applicant is a corporation, the application must list the names, dates of birth, social security numbers and resident addresses for all of the corporation's officers, directors and 10% or more owners. Once the TTB has received a complete application, together with all supporting documents, a federal basic permit is normally issued within 60 days. 22 Our distributors face scrutiny in a number of important areas, including initial licensing or permitting and ongoing sales and marketing activities with or on behalf of retail customers. In many states the SLC distributors may not give or transfer anything of value to their customers in exchange for business or other consideration; however the definition of "value" differs from State to State. We participate in significant promotional activities for brand suppliers and customers, which are increasingly requesting that distributors to be responsible for activities and related costs formerly undertaken by brand suppliers as brand suppliers pursue ways to reduce their operating costs. These increased demands will likely challenge us and other distributors since we attempt to meet the wishes of brand suppliers and customers. As a result, we regularly provide training and education programs for our sales and marketing personnel. We believe that we are in compliance with applicable regulations in all material respects. Consistent with industry practice, the sales and marketing activities permitted by distributors for the benefit of tier one brand suppliers are generally regulated by State licensing authorities, which authorize various trade practice activities by statute, regulation or administrative bulletin. We rely on such enforcement guidance, which is subject to change at the discretion of the regulatory authorities, in determining the scope of its permitted sales and marketing activities. As part of our regulatory compliance program, we are in frequent contact with regulatory agencies so that we can: (1) be kept current on regulatory developments affecting our business; (2) obtain answers from the agencies to questions from company personnel regarding compliance issues; (3) encourage enforcement of applicable laws and regulations on a consistent basis throughout our markets. We believe that prompt and consistent enforcement by the regulatory agencies is important and benefits us. We adhere strictly to the DISCUS Code of Responsible Practices for Beverage Alcohol Advertising and Marketing and will not condone, participate in nor permit any activity not in accordance with the guidelines contained therein. In some instances the guidelines we adhere to exceed the DISCUS guidelines and we reserve the right to decline to participate in, or prohibit any promotional activity within in our territories that we deem in our sole discretion to be outside of our own guidelines.

(2) Does not reflect the conversion of any Series A preferred shares. The selling shareholders offering 1,300,025 shares acquired their shares in connection with the acquisition of Liquor Group Wholesale. The selling shareholders offering 597,010 shares received these shares in payment of amounts we owed to them, and in the case of Arnold Rosen, 500,000 shares were received for services rendered. The selling shareholders offering 65,000 shares purchased their shares from us in a private offering at a price of $2.00 per share. C.J. Eiras, Lowell Newman, Steven Dodge, Jan P. Eiras and Arnold Rosen are our officers and/or directors. Prior to August 31, 2007, William Smith was our President and a director. No other selling shareholder has, or had, any material relationship with us, or our officers or directors during the past three years. Arnold Rosen, a director, and William Smith, a former officer and director, have collectively agreed not to sell 1,208,932 shares of our common stock prior to September 1, 2008. 31 Manner of Sale The shares of common stock owned by the selling shareholders may be offered and sold by means of this prospectus from time to time as market conditions permit. Since no market existed for our common stock as of the date of this prospectus, sales by the selling shareholders, until our common stock becomes listed on the OTC Bulletin Board, will be made at a price of $2.00 per share. If and when our common stock becomes listed on the OTC Bulletin Board the shares owned by the selling shareholders may be sold in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise, at prices and terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then-current market price, or in negotiated transactions. These shares may be sold by one or more of the following methods, without limitation: o a block trade in which a broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; o purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus; o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; and o face-to-face transactions between sellers and purchasers without a broker/dealer. In competing sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from selling shareholders in amounts to be negotiated. As to any particular broker-dealer, this compensation might be in excess of customary commissions. Neither LGW nor the selling stockholders can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. Notwithstanding the above, no NASD member will charge commissions that exceed 8% of the total proceeds from the sale. The selling shareholders and any broker/dealers who act in connection with the sale of the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of ss.2(11) of the Securities Acts of 1933, and any commissions received by them and any profit on any resale of the shares as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. If any selling shareholder enters into an agreement to sell his or her shares to a broker-dealer as principal, and the broker-dealer is acting as an underwriter, we will file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, identifying the broker-dealer, providing required information concerning the plan of distribution, and otherwise revising the disclosures in this prospectus as needed. We will also file the agreement between the selling shareholder and the broker-dealer as an exhibit to the post-effective amendment to the registration statement. 32 The selling stockholders may also sell their shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. We have advised the selling shareholders that they and any securities broker/dealers or others who may be deemed to be statutory underwriters will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act of 1933. We have also advised each selling shareholder that in the event of a "distribution" of the shares owned by the selling shareholder, such selling shareholder, any "affiliated purchasers", and any broker/dealer or other person who participates in the distribution may be subject to Rule 102 of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act") until their participation in that distribution is completed. Rule 102 makes it unlawful for any person who is participating in a distribution to bid for or purchase stock of the same class as is the subject of the distribution. A "distribution" is defined in Rule 102 as an offering of securities "that is distinguished from ordinary trading transactions by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and selling methods". We have also advised the selling shareholders that Rule 101 of Regulation M under the 1934 Act prohibits any "stabilizing bid" or "stabilizing purchase" for the purpose of pegging, fixing or stabilizing the price of the common stock in connection with this offering. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES Common Stock We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock. Holders of common stock are each entitled to cast one vote for each share held of record on all matters presented to shareholders. Cumulative voting is not allowed; hence, the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock can elect all directors. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore and, in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of our assets after payment of liabilities. The board is not obligated to declare a dividend. It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. Holders of common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to additional shares if issued by us. There are no conversion, redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the common stock. Preferred Stock We are authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that the Board of Directors has the authority to divide the Preferred Stock into series and, within the limitations provided by the Colorado Business Corporation Act, to fix by resolution the voting power, designations, preferences, and relative participation, special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of any series so established. As the Board of Directors has authority to establish the terms of, and to issue, the Preferred Stock without shareholder approval, the Preferred Stock could be issued to defend against any attempted take-over of our company. 33 In connection with the acquisition of Liquor Group Wholesale, we issued 953,460 shares of our Series A preferred stock to the shareholders of Liquor Group Wholesale. Each Series A preferred share may, at the option of the Holder, be converted into 45 shares of our common stock. Each Series A preferred share is entitled to 45 votes on any matter submitted to our shareholders. Each Series A preferred share is entitled to an annual dividend of $1.00 per share, if such a dividend is authorized by our directors. Our directors are not required to declare any dividends and dividends not declared will not accumulate. Upon our liquidation or dissolution, no distribution can be made to the holders of our common stock until the holders of the Series A Preferred shares have received a distribution of $1.00 per share, plus any declared and unpaid dividends or distributions. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Series A preferred shares. 30 The Series A preferred shares may not be converted until September 1, 2008. Vigor Holding Company and C.J. Eiras, the largest holders of the Series A preferred shares, have agreed that between September 1, 2008 and August 31, 2012, they will convert not more than 10,000 preferred shares (or 20,000 shares in total) during each year. We will not register any shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A preferred shares and it is not expected that a public market will ever develop for the Series A preferred shares. Any shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A preferred shares will be restricted securities and may, after August 31, 2008, be sold to a market-maker or in brokerage transactions, provided that the amount sold does not, during any three-month period, exceed l% of our outstanding common stock.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In January 2008 we were served with a summons and complaint filed by Royal Strategies and Solutions, Inc., Melvin Leiner and Darren Marks. The complaint was filed on November 15, 2007 in the Circuit Court of Broward County, Florida and requests a judgment in favor of the Plaintiffs for approximately $102,700 representing amounts Plaintiffs contend they loaned us prior to 2007,, plus accrued interest of approximately $26,200. We have accrued a liability of $78,900 based upon what be believe we owe the Plaintiffs. Other than the foregoing, we do not know of any claims threatened or pending against us. 34 INDEMNIFICATION Our Bylaws authorize indemnification of a director, officer, employee or agent of LGW against expenses incurred by him in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding to which he is named a party by reason of his having acted or served in such capacity, except for liabilities arising from his own misconduct or negligence in performance of his duty. In addition, even a director, officer, employee, or agent of LGW who was found liable for misconduct or negligence in the performance of his duty may obtain such indemnification if, in view of all the circumstances in the case, a court of competent jurisdiction determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling LGW pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable. LEGAL MATTERS The validity of the shares of common stock to be sold in this offering has been passed upon for us by the law firm of Hart & Trinen.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Liquor Group Wholesale, Inc. (the "Company"), as of August 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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 our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of August 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company, as a result of a merger, became the accounting acquirer in a reverse acquisition. This has been reported as a change in the reporting entity retroactively applied to the financial statements of all prior periods presented. STEVENS, POWELL & COMPANY, P.A.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2007 AND 2006 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES North American Food and Beverage Corp. ("NAFB"), is a Colorado corporation that prior to September 1999 conducted its business under the name USA Service Systems, Inc. ("USA"). Between November 1998 and July 1999, USA provided retail stores and manufacturers with product assembly, product demonstrations, point-of-sale product displays, and inventory counts and audits. As of July 1999, USA had entered into letters of intent for the acquisition of four companies engaged in the same business as that conducted by USA. However, USA was unable to obtain additional equity capital that was needed to finance these acquisitions. In July 1999, USA essentially discontinued its business and made plans to distribute its remaining assets (having a minimal value) to certain officers and directors of USA. Effective August 31, 1999, USA acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of East Coast Beverage Corp. ("East Coast"), in exchange for 5,040,000 shares of USA's common stock. In connection with this transaction, the management of USA resigned and was replaced by the management of East Coast. After August 31, 1999, the Company's business involved the development, production, and distribution of Coffee House USA, a proprietary line of all-natural, ready to drink bottled coffee drinks. In February 2000, USA changed its name to East Coast Beverage Corp. East Coast sold its products through distributors and wholesalers to supermarkets, mass-marketers, convenience stores, drug store chains, and oil company convenience stores. However, East Coast was never able to generate a profit. During the calendar year ended December 31, 2000, the Company estimated that it had lost in excess of $10,000,000. East Coast has not prepared any financial statements since that date but it is believed that the Company's losses since December 31, 2000 have been substantial. Because of the East Coast's inability to raise capital to fund its continuing operating losses, East Coast discontinued its bottled coffee operations in October 2001. On November 27, 2001, William Smith became the sole officer and director of the Company. His objective was to reorganize East Coast without the necessity of a bankruptcy proceeding. Mr. Smith's plan was to have substantially all East Coast's creditors agree to accept shares of common stock in settlement of amounts owed to the creditors. Although many creditors were willing to accept the plan proposed by Mr. Smith, a number of creditors refused to agree to the Smith proposal. On April 11, 2002, East Coast filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida (Case No. 02-22675-BKC-PGH). After its bankruptcy filing, and in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, a committee of the largest unsecured creditors was formed to assist in the reorganization. The Creditors Committee developed a Plan of Reorganization that was approved by a majority of East Coast's creditors, and confirmed by the Federal Bankruptcy Court on July 8, 2003. A final decree and discharge of trustee was entered in the bankruptcy on January 31, 2005. F-6 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2007 AND 2006 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Among other things, the Plan of Reorganization provided for the following: 1. The reverse split of East Coast's common stock so that each outstanding share was converted into 1/15th of one share. Since there were 15,704,469 outstanding shares prior to the bankruptcy, 1,046,965 shares were retained by East Coast's shareholders after the reverse split. In addition, each common shareholder received one warrant for each share held after the reverse split. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of East Coast's common stock at a price of $1.75 per share at any time prior to January 1, 2008. 2. The issuance of 2,000,000 shares of East Coast's common stock to Royal Brokerage Group in exchange for 10% of the gross revenues which may be received by Royal from the sale of olive oil products. 3. Unsecured creditors (Class 4 creditors) could either obtain payment of their claims, up to a maximum of $3,500,000 from a percentage of East Coast's profits over time or convert their debt into shares of LGW's common stock at a conversion rate of $1.75 per share. 4. The change of East Coast's name to North American Food and Beverage Corp. ("NAFB " or "North American"). When it became apparent that commissions from the sale of olive oil would generate little, if any, revenues which could be used to pay its creditors, North American (formerly East Coast) began to look for a privately held corporation that would be interested in a merger to take advantage of North American's net operating losses and shareholder base. In 2006, North American began discussions with Liquor Group Holdings LLC, a Florida limited liability company, which, since 2002, has been engaged in the wholesale and state level distribution of liquor. In January 2007, North American signed an agreement to acquire Liquor Group Wholesale, Inc. ("Liquor Group Wholesale") in return for shares of North American's common and Series A preferred stock. Liquor Group Holdings, LLC, was organized in Florida in 2002 and distributes alcohol products on behalf of manufacturers in 31 U.S. States. Liquor Group Wholesale, a division of Liquor Group Holdings, LLC ("LGW") manages wholesale operations and receives net profits generated from the wholesale distribution of liquor to the customers of Liquor Group Holdings. As a result of the merger with NAFB, which was effective August 31, 2007, LGW became the accounting acquirer in a reverse acquisition. When a reverse acquisition occurs, the pre-merger financial statements of the accounting acquirer become the historical financial statements of the combined company. Accounting for the merger transaction as a recapitalization requires the historical stockholders' equity of Liquor Group Wholesale to be retroactively restated for an equivalent number of shares received in the merger after giving effect to any difference in par value of the issuer's stock with an offset to paid-in capital. The effect of the recapitalization has been reflected in the Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity at page F-4. F-7 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2007 AND 2006 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Liquor Group Wholesale is a Florida corporation, which was formed in September 5, 2007, to take over the wholesale alcohol distribution operations of Liquor Group Holdings. Pursuant to an agreement between LGW and Liquor Group Holdings, LGW manages all wholesale operations and receives all net profits generated from the wholesale distribution of liquor to the customers of Liquor Group Holdings. Liquor Group Holdings was organized in Florida in 2002 and distributes alcohol products on behalf of manufacturers in 31 U.S. states. The acquisition of Liquor Group Wholesale was contingent upon the following: 1. The return and cancellation of up to 2,000,000 shares of North American's common stock. 2. Persons holding Class 4 creditor claims of not less than $3,250,000 agreeing to waive any right they may have to any distributions contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization and accepting one share of North American's common stock in full settlement of each $24.50 owed to them by North American. On August 31, 2007, North American met these contingencies and acquired Liquor Group Wholesale in consideration for the issuance of the shares of North American's common and Series A Preferred stock (see Note 8). Business Description and Activity - Liquor Group Holdings' major markets are Florida and Michigan, and other states in which Liquor Group Holdings has active sales efforts and/or licensed operations include: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, and Indiana. Liquor Group Holdings has sales contracts for several products in distribution in other states making up the balance of the 31 markets. The manufacturing, importation, distribution, and sale of alcohol-based beverages are subject to regulation by the Federal government through the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau ("TTB"), as well as by State and local regulatory agencies. Brand suppliers, distributors, and retailers must be properly licensed in order to sell alcohol-based beverages. In most states, the alcohol-based beverage industry operates within what is commonly referred to as a three-tier system of distribution. The three tiers are identified as follows: Tier one (1) is comprised of brand suppliers and manufacturers that produce alcohol-based beverages and/or importers of alcohol-based beverages, bringing products into the United States through U.S. Customs control. Tier two (2) is comprised of State Level Clients ("SLC") distributors, other sub-distributors, and the Control States which in turn market the products through brokers. Tier three (3) is comprised of licensees, both on and off premise customers, commonly referred to as retailers, which sell the products to the public consumers. F-8 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2007 AND 2006 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Under this system, brand suppliers and manufacturers sell to distributors and/or Control States, distributors and/or Control States sell to licensees or state stores, and licensees or state stores sell to consumers. For the most part, brand suppliers may not sell to licensees or consumers, and distributors may not sell directly to consumers. All states prohibit brand suppliers or distributors from having an interest in retail licensees. Liquor Group Holdings is a Tier two (2) distributor. Liquor Group Holdings holds out-of-state shipper permits that allow shipment of products from one state to a licensed distributor in any one of the other states or to any Control State. Liquor Group Holdings' officers, directors, and principal owners must be qualified by the TTB and state regulatory agencies to hold licenses/permits as a wholesaler/importer. The TTB grants authorization to operate alcohol and tobacco-related businesses under the Internal Revenue Code and the Federal Alcohol Administration Act. Any person wanting to operate a business governed by the IRC or the FAA must file an application with the TTB for a permit along with all necessary documents. The basic application for a permit consists of two pages and is filed with the TTB's offices in Cincinnati, Ohio. If the applicant is a corporation, the application must list the names, dates of birth, social security numbers, and resident addresses for all of the corporation's officers, directors, and 10% or more owners. Once the TTB has received a complete application, together with all supporting documents, a federal basic permit is normally issued within 60 days. General - This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2007 and 2006 ("fiscal year 2007" and "fiscal year 2006"). The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company 's management. The Company's management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of these financial statements. The accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the wine and spirits wholesale distribution industry and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company has recorded assets, liabilities, income, and expenses associated with its operations. All operating expenses, not directly recorded by the Company as a division of Liquor Group Holdings, have been allocated to the Company based on actual costs incurred by Liquor Group Holdings or estimated by management. Prior to the merger with NAFB, the Company estimated income taxes using an average effective rate of 37.63%. If the Company was a separate, stand-alone entity, these amounts might differ. As a result of the merger with NAFB, the Company has recorded a deferred tax asset of approximately $9.6 million at August 31, 2007, which has been completely offset by a valuation allowance. Realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in the future. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could change in the near term if estimates of future taxable income are modified or as net operating loss carryforward periods expire. F-9 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2007 AND 2006 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Revenue Recognition - Revenue from product sales is recognized by the Company when title and risk of loss passes to the distributor, which generally occurs upon shipment from the manufacturing facilities or third party storage facilities. The Company is notified electronically when shipments occur and periodically verifies that the electronic notifications are reconciled with the physical delivery of product to the distributors. Liquor Group Holdings' customers are SLC, which consist of licensed liquor distributors and the 18 Control States. Most states require wine and spirits retailers to purchase alcohol-based beverages from licensed distributors. Brand suppliers in these states may not legally sell directly to retail customers. Revenue is billed based on unit prices negotiated with the brand supplier or manufacturer, subject to volume discounts. In contract negotiations by and between LGW and brand suppliers, the price per unit from the supplier is generally established as a base price delivered to the SLC, aka: Freight on Dock ("FOD"), per unit price listed on an exhibit to the contract. This price is what the brand supplier expects to be paid by LGW per unit sold to the SLCs for all sales under the agreement. This price is then marked up at a variable rate depending on the product category, overall landed cost, the taxable rate charged in the individual territory, and the merchantability of the brands, which is sufficient to cover the estimated expenses and profit requirement of LGW for implementing the sale of the goods to its SLCs. All of these factors are considered when establishing the price of a particular product within a specific territory. After the FOD price has been established with the brand suppliers, there are factors that may cause pricing and margin variations. Brand suppliers may lower their FOD price for various circumstances, which may or may not affect the margin that LGW is able to achieve per unit. Often times if sales are weak or they have softened from the previous year, the brand supplier may lower their FOD price to help jump-start sales. These types of price decreases are generally passed on to the SLC, and they will have the effect of temporarily lowering LGW's margin. Other times, the brand suppliers lower their price after field research or pricing trends point towards a downturn in the shelf prices of that particular brand category. In addition, there are some seasonal trends that cause price shifts to occur, or post-offs* in certain instances, wherein there is a pre-planned price decrease for a given time period. These types of discounts on the FOD costs also have the effect of lowering the margin that LGW achieves. * A post-off is a planned decrease in the wholesale cost of a product affecting only the depletion of goods for a specific time period in a specific territory. One example would be for a brand supplier to announce in September that they will discount their product in December by a specific dollar or percentage amount per unit in specific SLCs so that these SLCs have time to prepare for implementing the sale price within their territory. This discount is generally passed on directly to the SLC from LGW and the SLC generally passes on the discount to the consumer. At the end of a post-off period, all merchandise would return to the previous FOD cost. In some instances, brand suppliers may choose to lower their FOD price as a reward to LGW for achieving certain sales goals in a specific market. This type of change raises the margin that LGW is able to achieve. The contract allows for the brand supplier to raise the FOD price of the goods; however, such a change requires notification and implementation time, and in some states the laws or rules related to such a change makes the price increase an annual event at best. Generally, brand suppliers will raise their FOD F-10 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2007 AND 2006 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) price by a modest amount at the completion of each contract term renewal, to adjust for inflation and higher cost of transportation or cost of goods. Consistent with EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, the Company has recorded revenue on the gross amounts billed to the distributor. The Company assumes the risks of loss for collection, delivery, or returns when the title passes to the distributor and the revenue is recorded. The cost of the inventory that has not been collected from the distributor (net of returns) is shown as accounts payable. Liquor Group Holdings does not take possession of any products (and thereby does not maintain inventories) as they are transferred from manufacturers to the distributor directly. Our SLC operations utilize a series of master warehouses strategically located throughout the U.S. and Control State warehouses to store and ship products pending sales to customers. In some instances, product maintained in the master warehouses may be returned by customers of Liquor Group Holdings. The Company will generally grant credit memos provided the manufacturer will accept the returned product. Returns of product have been reported in the periods that the initial sale occurred, if significant. Cost of sales in the Statements of Operations includes the wholesale cost of products shipped to the distributors, commissions, freight and delivery costs, and other direct costs. Operating expenses in the Statements of Operations include all general and administrative costs not allocated to cost of sales and allocated costs from Liquor Group Holdings, as discussed above. Cash and Cash Equivalents - Prior to the merger with NAFB, the Company did not maintain separate cash accounts as Liquor Group Holdings was responsible for maintenance of bank accounts for the entire organization. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers cash and highly liquid securities (consisting of a non-interest-bearing checking account) with an original maturity or redemption option of three months or less to be cash and equivalents. During fiscal years 2007 and 2006, the Company maintained cash and cash equivalents with a bank. Bank deposits are insured by the FDIC up to $100,000. The Company may, from time to time, maintain balances in excess of these insured limits. Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. Trade receivables terms are generally 30 days. The Company performs services and extends credit based on an evaluation of the customers' financial condition without requiring collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is expected to vary by customer due to the financial condition of each customer. The Company monitors exposure to credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses considered necessary under the circumstances. Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method according to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements' carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Prior to the merger with NAFB, no deferred income tax assets or liabilities existed. F-11 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2007 AND 2006 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Prior to the merger with NAFB, no income tax receivables or payables have been recorded on the Company books and records as Liquor Group Holdings, LLC, which is not a taxable entity. A limited liability corporation passes its earnings and losses to its members. However, for purposes of the Company financial statements, an income tax expense has been shown in the Statements of Operations as an allocated cost. Rent - The Company leases facilities and equipment using short term lease agreements with an affiliate. The Company is responsible for maintenance, taxes, and other operating costs. During the fiscal years ended 2007 and 2006, rent expense totaled $4,553 and $3,878, respectively. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable, other liabilities, and notes payable approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. Net Income Per Share - During fiscal years 2007 and 2006, the Company, after giving effect of the recapitalization, had average common shares outstanding totaling 9,439,735 and 9,439,557, respectively, and the net income per share was $0.006 and $0.003, respectively. Under the treasury method, the fully diluted common shares outstanding for fiscal year 2007 totaled 9,557,285. For purposes of calculating fully diluted common shares outstanding, we assumed that all of the preferred stock would be converted as of August 31, 2007. The fully diluted net income per common share for 2007 totaled $0.005. Comprehensive Income - The items affecting comprehensive income are not material to the financial statements and, accordingly, are not presented herein. Commissions to Affiliate - For fiscal years 2007 and 2006, commissions paid to an affiliate, Liquor Group Michigan, totaled $11,055 and $560, respectively. Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributable for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transitions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. In September, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this statement will change current practice. In developing this statement, the FASB considered the need for F-12 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2007 AND 2006 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) increased consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and for expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to materially impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 ("SAB 108"). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a potential current year misstatement. Prior to SAB 108, companies might evaluate the materiality of financial statement misstatements using either the income statement or balance sheet approach, with the income statement approach focusing on new misstatements added in the current year, and the balance sheet approach focusing on the cumulative amount of misstatement present in a company's balance sheet. Misstatements that would be material under one approach could be viewed as immaterial under another approach, and not be corrected. SAB 108 now requires that companies view financial statement misstatements as material if they are material according to either the income statement or balance sheet approach. Management has analyzed SAB 108 and determined that upon adoption it will have no impact on the Company's reported results of operations or financial conditions. In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 ("SFAS 159"). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board's long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. The Company has not completed its evaluation of this statement; however, the initial assessment is that adoption will not materially impact its financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about derivatives and hedging activities. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the extent, if any, of any additional required disclosures. A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard-setting organizations and the SEC. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of these proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our financial statements. F-13 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2007 AND 2006 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Change in Reporting Entity - As a result of the merger, the Company made certain changes to the financial statements previously issued under the reporting entity, Liquor Group Wholesale - A Division of Liquor Group Holdings, LLC, and included in the Registration Statement on Form S-1/A, filed June 18, 2008,. The changes made and reported in the Company financial statements, marked herein as restated, reflect that the Company was the accounting acquirer in a reverse acquisition. The previous financial statements were presented for an operating division of Liquor Group Holdings and did not reflect certain transactions and balances now included in the Company financial statements marked herein as restated. Pursuant to SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (as amended), certain changes, principally affecting changes in stockholders' equity, expenses allocated from Liquor Group Holdings, and the assets and liabilities acquired in the merger, have been included in the restated financial statements of the Company as compared with the previously issued financial statements of Liquor Group Wholesale - A Division of Liquor Group Holdings, LLC.

(5) Includes additional expenses not allocated to previous reporting entity, which included direct selling and administrative costs. (6) Income tax effect of increased operating costs at the effective rate of 37.63%. In the previously reported changes in net division assets, the beginning balance of $50,500 was adjusted to reflect the merger accounted for as a recapitalization as required by the accounting acquirer in a reverse acquisition, which resulted in stockholders' deficit of $38,327 at September 1, 2005 (see page F-4 for detail). During 2006 and 2007, the net income, distributions, and contributions reported by the wholesale division of Liquor Group Holdings were eliminated and the changes in stockholders' equity of the Company (as restated) are shown on page F-4. As a result of the above-mentioned changes, the statements of cash flows have been restated, with the principal differences related to the reduction in net income of $21,081 in both 2007 and 2006, and the proceeds from the sale of common stock of $130,000 in 2007.

Eiras, the largest holders of the Series A preferred shares, have agreed that between September 1, 2008 and August 31, 2012, they will convert not more than 10,000 preferred shares (or 20,000 shares in total) during each year. LGW will not register any shares of preferred stock, and it is not expected that a public market will ever develop for the Series A preferred shares. Upon conversion of the Series A preferred shares into common stock of LGW, those shares of common stock will be registered and subject to certain sale limitations under Rule 144 of the SEC. On December 20, 2007, the Company changed its name to Liquor Group Wholesale, Inc. ("LGW"). The shares of common stock outstanding after the acquisition of Liquor Group Wholesale, and as of August 31, 2007, as well as the shares that may be issued upon the conversion of the Series A preferred stock and the exercise of outstanding warrants follow: Shares outstanding prior to acquisition of Liquor Group Wholesale 8,717,562 Shares of common stock issued to the shareholders of Liquor Group Wholesale 2,000,000 Shares issued to Class 4 creditors in settlement of their claims 124,985 Shares returned to treasury and cancelled (2,000,000) Shares issued to Arnold Rosen for his services in structuring the acquisition of Liquor Group Holdings 500,000 Shares issued to Arnold Rosen in payment of amounts advanced to or on behalf of LGW 33,972 Shares issued to unrelated third parties in payment of amounts owed by LGW prior to the acquisition of Liquor Group Holdings 63,038 Shares sold to private investors at a price of $2.00 per share 65,000 ------------ 9,504,557 Shares that may be issued in the future: Shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants 1,046,965(1) Potential number of shares issuable upon conversion of Series A preferred shares 42,905,700(2) ------------ Total potential outstanding shares at August 31, 2007 53,457,222 ============ (1) As part of its bankruptcy plan North American (now LGW) issued warrants to its shareholders. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of LGW's common stock at a price of $1.75 per share. The warrants expired on January 1, 2008, with 8,294 warrants exercised. (2) Any shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A preferred shares will be restricted securities and may, after August 31, 2008, be sold to a market-maker or in brokerage transactions, provided that the amount sold does not, during any three-month period, exceed 1% of LGW's outstanding common stock. The following table outlines, for the periods presented, the maximum increase in LGW's outstanding common shares upon the allowable conversion of the Series A preferred shares and the shares of LGW's common stock available for resale upon the conversion of the preferred shares. The numbers in the table assume there is no change in the control of LGW prior to September 30, 2012. F-17 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC.

F-18 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2007 AND 2006 NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes on income is summarized as follows: For the Years Ended August 31, 2007 2006 ---- ---- Current: Federal $ 27,038 $ 14,981 State 4,628 2,565 ------------ ------------ 31,666 17,546 ----------- ----------- Deferred: Federal - - State - - ---------------- --------------- - - ---------------- --------------- Total income tax provision $ 31,666 $ 17,546 ========== ========== The major elements contributing to the difference between the income tax provision and the amount computed by applying the federal statutory tax rate of 34% to income before income taxes are as follows: For the Years Ended August 31, 2007 2006 ---- ---- Tax benefit at U.S. Statutory rates $ 28,612 $ 15,854 State income tax 3,054 1,692 ------------ ------------ Income tax provision $ 31,666 $ 17,546 =========== =========== As a result of the merger with NAFB, the Company recorded deferred tax assets of $9.6 million at August 31, 2007, principally comprised of net operating losses. The deferred tax assets were offset by a valuation allowance in the same amount. Deferred tax assets, net of a valuation allowance, are recorded when management believes it is more likely than not that tax benefits will be realized. The Company has net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $25.8 million that begin expiring in 2014. As a result of the merger with NAFB, the Company assumed a liability for unpaid withheld income and employment taxes for former NAFB employees. In 2003, NAFB entered into an installment agreement to pay 36 equal payments of $5,710 to satisfy its obligation. Payments were discontinued in late-2004, and on June 8, 2006, the Internal Revenue Service filed a Notice of Federal Tax Lien in the amount of $128,762. At August 31, 2007, the Company has estimated the liability at $143,061, which includes estimated interest, and has reported this amount in Other Liabilities in the Balance Sheet. However, the Company has been negotiating a reduction in the remaining amount due. F-19 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2007 AND 2006 NOTE 4 - NOTES PAYABLE Following the merger with NAFB, the Company has recorded demand notes payable totaling $78,900 at August 31, 2007, to certain related parties. The Company had been negotiating to convert this debt to common stock. However, the total amount outstanding is in dispute with three of the four creditors. As of August 31, 2007, those creditors have demanded amounts totaling approximately $129,000 (including interest of approximately $26,000). The principal balance of $78,900 reflected in the Company records for these creditors was based on advances deposited into Company bank accounts, which totaled $78,900, excluding interest. Accordingly, the amounts in dispute at August 31, 2007, total approximately $50,000, which includes disputed interest. In addition, three of the creditors have indicated that they do not plan to convert any of this debt to common stock. The fourth creditor with $14,500 agreed to convert this debt for 8,000 shares of common stock effective August 31, 2007. NOTE 5 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Preferred Stock - The Company is authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that the Board of Directors has the authority to divide the preferred stock into series and, within the limitations provided by the Colorado Business Corporation Act, to fix by resolution the voting power, designations, preferences, and relative participation, special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of any series so established. As the Board of Directors has authority to establish the terms of, and to issue, the preferred stock without shareholder approval, the preferred stock could be issued to defend against any attempted takeover of the Company. At August 31, 2006, no preferred stock had been issued. Effective August 31, 2007, 953,460 preferred shares were issued pursuant to the merger with NAFB (see Note 8). Common Stock - The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock. Holders of common stock are each entitled to cast one vote for each share held of record on all matters presented to shareholders. Cumulative voting is not allowed; hence, the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock can elect all directors. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore and, in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of the Company's assets after payment of liabilities. The Board is not obligated to declare a dividend. It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. Holders of common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to additional shares if issued by the Company. There is no conversion, redemption, sinking fund, or similar provisions regarding the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Effective August 31, 2007, 721,995 common shares were issued pursuant to the merger (see Note 8). Effective August 31, 2007, an additional 65,000 common shares were issued at an offering price of $2.00 per share. The proceeds of $130,000 from this private placement were designated for working capital needs. F-20 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2007 AND 2006 NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS In addition to the Notes Payable (see Note 4) outstanding to Mr. William R. Smith and related parties, the Company has expensed consulting and other fees to Mr. Smith and related parties in fiscal years 2007 and 2006 totaling $13,265 and $2,226, respectively. All other obligations to related parties (except as shown below) have been cancelled either in the confirmed Plan of Reorganization or pursuant to the transaction with NAFB (see Note 2). Individual accounts receivable balances at August 31, 2007, in excess of 10% of total accounts receivable to affiliated and non-affiliated customers were as follows: % of Accounts Amount Receivable, Net ------ --------------- Affiliated Customers Liquor Group Florida $1,130,839 85% Non-affiliated Customers ABC Michigan $ 161,662 12% Accounts receivables from other affiliated customers were immaterial at August 31, 2007. Approximately 34% of the accounts payable at August 31, 2007, were owed to affiliated companies with Happy Vodka Corporation representing approximately 29% of total accounts payable. NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is involved in various claims and legal proceedings of a nature considered normal to its business. The Company believes that the results of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. In connection with the confirmed Plan of Reorganization for NAFB, various obligations including leases, employment agreements, options, and other commitments were discharged in bankruptcy. Additional obligations have been limited or otherwise canceled in connection with the LGW transaction described below. On January 28, 2007, an agreement was executed whereby NAFB acquired all the issued and outstanding stock of Liquor Group Wholesale Inc. ("LGW"), in exchange for shares of NAFB's common stock (to a maximum of 49.9%) and preferred stock. LGW is a Florida-based corporation. As part of the agreement, the Company offered 1,125,000 shares through a private offering at $2.00 per share. The Company has attempted to contact all of its Class 4 debtors with the exchange offer discussed in Note 1. Substantially all of the debtors have agreed to the exchange of debt for Company stock; however, a number of the creditors have not responded or are out of business. The Company has estimated its maximum unsettled contingent claims at $250,000, all of which expired in January 2008. Based on the high probability that none of these claims will be presented, and if presented, the claims would be settled by issuing common stock; no liability has been recorded in the balance sheet for these claims at August 31, 2007. F-21 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2007 AND 2006 NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) On January 31, 2007, the Securities Exchange Commission conducted its administrative proceedings against the Company, which included revocation of the Company's securities that at the time were traded under the symbol "NFBC" on the over-the-counter markets. At August 31, 2007, the Company had agreements with related parties to purchase minimum quantities of product from Happy Vodka. The commitments require annual purchases from Happy Vodka totaling $39,900 for Liquor Group Michigan and $285,000 for Liquor Group Florida. All outstanding related party purchase commitments may be terminated by either party upon 90-days notice. No other material purchase commitments existed at August 31, 2007. NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT As part of its bankruptcy plan, North American (now LGW) issued 1,046,965 warrants to its shareholders. Each warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of LGW's common stock at a price of $1.75 per share. Warrants totaling 8,294 common shares were exercised effective December 31, 2007, and the remaining unexercised warrants totaling 1,038,671 expired January 1, 2008. F-22 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC.

CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2008 AND 2007 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying condensed financial statements include the accounts of Liquor Group Wholesale, Inc. (the "Company" or "LGW"). The Company's primary business activity is wine and spirits wholesale distribution, and it operates in only one reportable industry segment. References to the Company or LGW throughout these condensed financial statements may be made using the first-person notations of "we," "our," and "us." The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the wine and spirits wholesale distribution industry. Our condensed financial statements for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2008 and 2007, have not been audited and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In management's opinion, the accompanying condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation. Our results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for an entire year. The accounting policies followed by us are set forth in the financial statements for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2007 and 2006 ("fiscal year 2007" and "fiscal year 2006"), and are incorporated herein by reference. Comparative Financial Statements - For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2007, the historical financial statements for the Company include only the wholesale wine and spirits distribution division of Liquor Group Holdings. Business Description and Activity - Liquor Group Holdings' major markets are Florida and Michigan, and other states in which Liquor Group Holdings has active sales efforts and/or licensed operations include: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, and Indiana. Liquor Group Holdings has sales contracts for several products in distribution in other states making up the balance of the 31 markets. The manufacturing, importation, distribution, and sale of alcohol-based beverages are subject to regulation by the Federal government through the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau ("TTB"), as well as by State and local regulatory agencies. Brand suppliers, distributors, and retailers must be properly licensed in order to sell alcohol-based beverages. In most states, the alcohol-based beverage industry operates within what is commonly referred to as a three-tier system of distribution. The three tiers are identified as follows: Tier one (1) is comprised of brand suppliers and manufacturers that produce alcohol-based beverages and/or importers of alcohol-based beverages, bringing products into the United States through U.S. Customs control. Tier two (2) is comprised of State Level Clients ("SLC") distributors, other sub-distributors, and the Control States which in turn market the products through brokers. Tier three (3) is comprised of licensees, both on and off premise customers, commonly referred to as retailers, which sell the products to the public consumers. F-27 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC. CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2008 AND 2007 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Under this system, brand suppliers and manufacturers sell to distributors and/or Control States, distributors and/or Control States sell to licensees or state stores, and licensees or state stores sell to consumers. For the most part, brand suppliers may not sell to licensees or consumers, and distributors may not sell directly to consumers. All states prohibit brand suppliers or distributors from having an interest in retail licensees. Liquor Group Holdings is a Tier two (2) distributor. Liquor Group Holdings holds out-of-state shipper permits that allow shipment of products from one state to a licensed distributor in any one of the other states or to any Control State. Liquor Group Holdings' officers, directors, and principal owners must be qualified by the TTB and state regulatory agencies to hold licenses/permits as a wholesaler/importer. The TTB grants authorization to operate alcohol and tobacco-related businesses under the Internal Revenue Code and the Federal Alcohol Administration Act. Any person wanting to operate a business governed by the IRC or the FAA must file an application with the TTB for a permit along with all necessary documents. The basic application for a permit consists of two pages and is filed with the TTB's offices in Cincinnati, Ohio. If the applicant is a corporation, the application must list the names, dates of birth, social security numbers, and resident addresses for all of the corporation's officers, directors, and 10% or more owners. Once the TTB has received a complete application, together with all supporting documents, a federal basic permit is normally issued within 60 days. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset of approximately $9.6 million at May 31, 2008, which is completely offset by a valuation allowance. Realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in the future. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could change in the near term if estimates of future taxable income are modified or as net operating loss carryforward periods expire. Revenue Recognition - Revenue from product sales is recognized by the Company when title and risk of loss passes to the distributor, which generally occurs upon shipment from the manufacturing facilities or third party storage facilities. The Company is notified electronically when shipments occur and periodically verifies that the electronic notifications are reconciled with the physical delivery of product to the distributors. Liquor Group Holdings' customers are SLC, which consist of licensed liquor distributors and the 18 Control States. Most states require wine and spirits retailers to purchase alcohol-based beverages from licensed distributors. Brand suppliers in these states may not legally sell directly to retail customers. Revenue is billed based on unit prices negotiated with the brand supplier or manufacturer, subject to volume discounts. F-28 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC. CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2008 AND 2007 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) In contract negotiations by and between LGW and brand suppliers, the price per unit from the supplier is generally established as a base price delivered to the SLC, aka: Freight on Dock ("FOD"), per unit price listed on an exhibit to the contract. This price is what the brand supplier expects to be paid by LGW per unit sold to the SLCs for all sales under the agreement. This price is then marked up at a variable rate depending on the product category, overall landed cost, the taxable rate charged in the individual territory, and the merchantability of the brands, which is sufficient to cover the estimated expenses and profit requirement of LGW for implementing the sale of the goods to its SLCs. All of these factors are considered when establishing the price of a particular product within a specific territory. After the FOD price has been established with the brand suppliers, there are factors that may cause pricing and margin variations. Brand suppliers may lower their FOD price for various circumstances, which may or may not affect the margin that LGW is able to achieve per unit. Often times if sales are weak or they have softened from the previous year, the brand supplier may lower their FOD price to help jump-start sales. These types of price decreases are generally passed on to the SLC, and they will have the effect of temporarily lowering LGW's margin. Other times, the brand suppliers lower their price after field research or pricing trends point towards a downturn in the shelf prices of that particular brand category. In addition, there are some seasonal trends that cause price shifts to occur, or post-offs* in certain instances, wherein there is a pre-planned price decrease for a given time period. These types of discounts on the FOD costs also have the effect of lowering the margin that LGW achieves. * A post-off is a planned decrease in the wholesale cost of a product affecting only the depletion of goods for a specific time period in a specific territory. One example would be for a brand supplier to announce in September that they will discount their product in December by a specific dollar or percentage amount per unit in specific SLCs so that these SLCs have time to prepare for implementing the sale price within their territory. This discount is generally passed on directly to the SLC from LGW and the SLC generally passes on the discount to the consumer. At the end of a post-off period, all merchandise would return to the previous FOD cost. In some instances, brand suppliers may choose to lower their FOD price as a reward to LGW for achieving certain sales goals in a specific market. This type of change raises the margin that LGW is able to achieve. The contract allows for the brand supplier to raise the FOD price of the goods; however, such a change requires notification and implementation time, and in some states the laws or rules related to such a change makes the price increase an annual event at best. Generally, brand suppliers will raise their FOD price by a modest amount at the completion of each contract term renewal, to adjust for inflation and higher cost of transportation or cost of goods. Consistent with EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, the Company has recorded revenue on the gross amounts billed to the distributor. The Company assumes the risks of loss for collection, delivery, or returns when the title passes to the distributor and the revenue is recorded. The cost of the inventory that has not been collected from the distributor (net of returns) is shown as accounts payable. F-29 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC. CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2008 AND 2007 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Liquor Group Holdings does not take possession of any products (and thereby does not maintain inventories) as they are transferred from manufacturers to the distributor directly. Our SLC operations utilize a series of master warehouses strategically located throughout the U.S. and Control State warehouses to store and ship products pending sales to customers. In some instances, product maintained in the master warehouses may be returned by customers of Liquor Group Holdings. The Division will generally grant credit memos provided the manufacturer will accept the returned product. Returns of product have been reported in the periods that the initial sale occurred, if significant. Cost of sales in the Statements of Operations includes the wholesale cost of products shipped to the distributors, commissions, freight and delivery costs, and other direct costs. Operating expenses in the Statements of Operations include all general and administrative costs not allocated to cost of sales and allocated costs from Liquor Group Holdings, as discussed above. Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, LGW considers cash and highly liquid securities (consisting of a non-interest-bearing checking account) with an original maturity or redemption option of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2008, the Company maintained cash and cash equivalents with a bank. Bank deposits are insured by the FDIC up to $100,000. LGW may, from time to time, maintain balances in excess of these insured limits. Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. Trade receivables terms are generally 30 days. The Company performs services and extends credit based on an evaluation of the customers' financial condition without requiring collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is expected to vary by customer due to the financial condition of each customer. The Company monitors exposure to credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses considered necessary under the circumstances. Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method according to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements' carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Rent - The Company leases facilities and equipment using short term lease agreements. The Company is responsible for maintenance, taxes, and other operating costs. During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2008, rent expense totaled $3,500 and $9,500, respectively. Net Income Per Share - During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2008, the Company had average common shares outstanding totaling 9,512,851 and 9,509,188, respectively. Under the treasury method, the fully diluted common shares outstanding for the same periods totaled 52,418,551 and 52,414,888, respectively. For purposes of calculating fully diluted common shares outstanding, we assumed that all of the preferred stock would be converted as of August 31, 2007. The basic earnings per common share for both the three and nine months ended May 31, 2008, was $0.002 and $0.004, respectively. The fully diluted earnings per common share for the same periods totaled $-0-. F-30 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC. CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2008 AND 2007 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) After giving effect to the reverse acquisition, the average common shares outstanding in the comparable 2007 periods were 9,439,557, and the basic earnings per share for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2007, were $0.003 for both periods. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, notes payable, and other liabilities, approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. Comprehensive Income - The items affecting comprehensive income are not material to the financial statements and, accordingly, are not presented herein. Commissions to Affiliates - For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2008, commissions paid to affiliates were as follows: For the Three Months For the Nine Months Ended 5/31/08 Ended 5/31/08 -------------------- ------------------- Liquor Group Michigan $ 2,000 $ 18,516 Liquor Group Florida 2,100 2,100 ----------- ----------- $ 4,100 $ 20,616 ========== ========= Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributable for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transitions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on LGW's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. In September, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this statement will change current practice. In developing this statement, the FASB considered the need for increased consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and for expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to materially impact LGW's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 ("SAB 108"). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year F-31 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC. CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2008 AND 2007 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) misstatements should be considered in quantifying a potential current year misstatement. Prior to SAB 108, companies might evaluate the materiality of financial statement misstatements using either the income statement or balance sheet approach, with the income statement approach focusing on new misstatements added in the current year, and the balance sheet approach focusing on the cumulative amount of misstatement present in a company's balance sheet. Misstatements that would be material under one approach could be viewed as immaterial under another approach, and not be corrected. SAB 108 now requires that companies view financial statement misstatements as material if they are material according to either the income statement or balance sheet approach. Management has analyzed SAB 108 and determined that upon adoption it will have no impact on LGW's reported results of operations or financial conditions. In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 ("SFAS 159"). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board's long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. LGW has not completed its evaluation of this statement; however, the initial assessment is that adoption will not materially impact its financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about derivatives and hedging activities. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. LGW is currently assessing the extent, if any, of any additional required disclosures. A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard-setting organizations and the SEC. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of these proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our financial statements. F-32 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC. CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2008 AND 2007 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 2 - MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND RELATED PARTIES Individual accounts receivable balances, in excess of 10% of total accounts receivable to affiliated and non-affiliated customers were as follows: May 31, 2008 August 31, 2007 ----------------------- ---------------------- % of Accounts % of Accounts Amount Receivable, Net Amount Receivable, Net ------ ---------------- ------ --------------- Affiliated Customers Liquor Group Florida $1,291,854 85% $1,130,839 85% Non-affiliated Customers ABC Michigan $ 135,193 9% $ 161,662 12% Accounts receivables from other affiliated companies were immaterial at May 31, 2008, and August 31, 2007. For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2008 and 2007, sales to major customers were as follows: For the Three Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended 5/31/08 5/31/07 5/31/08 5/31/07 ------- ------- ------- ------- Affiliated Customers Liquor Group Florida 57% 91% 78% 69% Non-affiliated Customers ABC Virginia 0% 2% 3% 4% ABC Michigan 28% 7% 14% 24% ABC California 14% 0% 1% 0% Approximately 35% and 34% of the accounts payable at May 31, 2008 and August 31, 2007, respectively, were owed to affiliated companies with Happy Vodka Corporation representing approximately 31% and 29%, respectively, of total accounts payable. NOTE 3 - NOTES PAYABLE The Company has notes payable totaling $78,900 at May 31, 2008, to certain related parties that were assumed in the merger with North American. The Company had been negotiating to convert this debt to common stock. However, the total amount outstanding is in dispute with the three creditors. Those creditors have demanded amounts totaling approximately $129,000 (including interest of approximately $26,000). The principal balance of $78,900 reflected in the Company records for these creditors was based on advances deposited into Company bank accounts, which totaled $78,900, excluding interest. Accordingly, the amounts in dispute total approximately $50,000, which includes disputed interest. In addition, three of the creditors have indicated that they do not plan to convert any of this debt to common stock. F-33 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC. CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2008 AND 2007 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES During the interim periods for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2008, LGW has utilized net operating losses from prior periods to offset current period provision for income taxes. At May 31, 2008, the Company had deferred tax assets of $9.6 million, principally comprised of net operating losses. The deferred tax assets were offset by a valuation allowance in the same amount. Deferred tax assets, net of a valuation allowance, are recorded when management believes it is more likely than not that tax benefits will be realized. LGW has net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $25.8 million that begin expiring in 2014. At May 31, 2008, the Company has an outstanding Federal Tax Lien of $128,762, plus accrued interest, for an estimated liability of $153,012. This obligation was assumed in the merger with North American. However, the Company has been negotiating a reduction in the remaining amount due. NOTE 5 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Preferred Stock - The Company is authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that the Board of Directors has the authority to divide the preferred stock into series and, within the limitations provided by the Colorado Business Corporation Act, to fix by resolution the voting power, designations, preferences, and relative participation, special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of any series so established. As the Board of Directors has authority to establish the terms of, and to issue, the preferred stock without shareholder approval, the Preferred Stock could be issued to defend against any attempted takeover of the Company. In connection with the reverse acquisition of LGW, the Company issued 953,460 shares of its Series A preferred stock to the shareholders of Liquor Group Wholesale. Each Series A preferred share may, at the option of the Holder, be converted into 45 shares of LGW's common stock. Each Series A preferred share is entitled to 45 votes on any matter submitted to the shareholders of LGW. Each Series A preferred share is entitled to an annual dividend of $1.00 per share, if such a dividend is authorized by LGW's directors. LGW's directors are not required to declare any dividends, and dividends not declared will not accumulate. The Series A preferred shares may not be converted until September 1, 2008. Vigor Holding Company and C.J. Eiras, the largest holders of the Series A preferred shares, have agreed that between September 1, 2008 and August 31, 2012, they will convert not more than 10,000 preferred shares (or 20,000 shares in total) during each year. LGW will not register any shares of preferred stock, and it is not expected that a public market will ever develop for the Series A preferred shares. Upon conversion of the Series A preferred shares into common stock of LGW, those shares of common stock will be registered and subject to certain sale limitations under Rule 144 of the SEC. Arnold Rosen, a director of LGW, and William Smith, a former officer and director of LGW, have collectively agreed not to sell 1,208,932 shares of LGW's common stock prior to September 1, 2008.

CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2008 AND 2007 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 5 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (Continued) Common Stock - The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock. Holders of common stock are each entitled to cast one vote for each share held of record on all matters presented to shareholders. Cumulative voting is not allowed; hence, the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock can elect all directors. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore and, in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of the Company's assets after payment of liabilities. The board is not obligated to declare a dividend. It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. Holders of common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to additional shares if issued by the Company. There is no conversion, redemption, sinking fund, or similar provisions regarding the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. The following is a recap of the activity in common stock: Shares outstanding prior to acquisition of Liquor Group Wholesale 8,717,562 Shares of common stock issued to the shareholders of Liquor Group Wholesale 2,000,000 Shares issued to Class 4 creditors in settlement of their claims 124,985 Shares returned to treasury and cancelled (2,000,000) Shares issued to Arnold Rosen for his services in structuring the acquisition of Liquor Group Holdings 500,000 Shares issued to Arnold Rosen in payment of amounts advanced to or on behalf of LGW 33,972 Shares issued to unrelated third parties in payment of amounts owed by LGW prior to the acquisition of Liquor Group Holdings 63,038 Shares sold to private investors at a price of $2.00 per share 65,000 ------------- 9,504,557 Shares that may be issued in the future: Shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants 1,046,965(1) Potential number of shares issuable upon conversion of Series A preferred shares 42,905,700(2) -------------- Total potential outstanding shares at August 31, 2007 53,457,222 ============== (1) As part of its bankruptcy plan North American (now LGW) issued warrants to its shareholders. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of LGW's common stock at a price of $1.75 per share. The warrants expired on January 1, 2008, with 8,294 warrants exercised effective December 31, 2007. Proceeds of $14,515 were recorded during the second quarter of fiscal year 2008. (2) Any shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A preferred shares will be restricted securities and may, after August 31, 2008, be sold to a market-maker or in brokerage transactions, provided that the amount sold does not, during any three-month period, exceed 1% of LGW's outstanding common stock.

There is a restriction that the amount of common shares allowed to be sold during any three-month period, cannot exceed 1% of LGW's outstanding common stock. NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is involved in various claims and legal proceedings of a nature considered normal to its business. The Company believes that the results of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. In connection with the confirmed Plan of Reorganization for NAFB, various obligations including leases, employment agreements, options, and other commitments were discharged in bankruptcy. Additional obligations have been limited or otherwise canceled in connection with the LGW transaction described below. On January 28, 2007, an agreement was executed whereby NAFB acquired all the issued and outstanding stock of Liquor Group Wholesale Inc. ("LGW"), in exchange for shares of NAFB's common stock (to a maximum of 49.9%) and preferred stock. LGW is a Florida-based corporation. As part of the agreement, the Company offered 1,125,000 shares through a private offering at $2.00 per share. The Company has attempted to contact all of its Class 4 debtors with the exchange offer discussed in Note 1. Substantially all of the debtors have agreed to the exchange of debt for Company stock; however, a number of the creditors have not responded or are out of business. The Company has estimated its maximum unsettled contingent claims at $250,000, all of which expired in January 2008. Based on the high probability that none of these claims will be presented, and F-36 LIQUOR GROUP WHOLESALE, INC. CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2008 AND 2007 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) if presented, the claims would be settled by issuing common stock; no liability has been recorded in the balance sheet for these claims at August 31, 2007 and May 31, 2008. On January 31, 2007, the Securities Exchange Commission conducted its administrative proceedings against the Company, which included revocation of the Company's securities that at the time were traded under the symbol "NFBC" on the over-the-counter markets. At August 31, 2007 and May 31, 2008, the Company had agreements with related parties to purchase minimum quantities of product from Happy Vodka. The commitments require annual purchases from Happy Vodka totaling $39,900 for Liquor Group Michigan and $285,000 for Liquor Group Florida. All outstanding related party purchase commitments may be terminated by either party upon 90-days notice. No other material purchase commitments existed at August 31, 2007 and May 31, 2008. 8 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page PROSPECTUS SUMMARY ................................................

(2) Previously filed. Item 17. Undertakings The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section l0 (a)(3) of the Securities Act: (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of l933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being 6 registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. (4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser: (i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B: (A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and (B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or (ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: 7 The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary officering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser bye means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. 8 SIGNATURES In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of l933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form SB-2 and authorized this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned in Jacksonville, Florida on the 19th day of August 2008.
