RISK FACTORS

 

The shares of common stock offered by this prospectus involve a high degree of risk and represent a highly speculative investment. You should not purchase these shares if you cannot afford the loss of your entire investment. In addition to the other information contained in this prospectus, you should carefully consider the following risk factors in evaluating our company, our business prospects and an investment in our shares of common stock.

 

Risks Related to the Company

 

We have ongoing losses, negative working capital and limited net tangible book value which could require us to reduce our operations.

 

As of June 30, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of $5,886,608, negative working capital of $3,645,000 and a limited net tangible book value of $1,153,738. If we are unable to improve working capital and net tangible book value positions through earnings or equity investments, we could be required to reduce our operations.

 

Our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as a going concern.

 

In their audit report dated March 30, 2007, our auditors indicated that there was substantial doubt that we could continue as a going concern. If we are unable to generate cash from earnings from the sale of equity securities, we could be required to reduce our operations.

Our food service distribution is a low-margin business such that any increase in our product costs or reduction in the selling price of our products could reduce our earnings.

 

We operate in the food service distribution industry, which is characterized by a high volume of sales with relatively low profit margins. Certain of our sales are at prices that are based on product cost plus a percentage markup. As a result, our earnings, if any, may be reduced if the price of food goes down, even though our percentage markup may remain constant. Certain of our sales are also on a fixed fee-per-case basis. Therefore, in an inflationary environment, our gross profit margins may be reduced. Our earnings may also be negatively impacted by product cost increases that we may not be able to pass on to our customers.

We rely on obtaining food products from large suppliers and selling food products to large customers. Accordingly, the loss of large suppliers or customers would reduce our revenue and profitability.

We sell a number of internationally known brands supplied to us by the manufacturers, such as Nestle, Cora, Mitsuki, Bonet, Bellissimo and Miller beer. We also derive a substantial portion of our sales from large customers including chain supermarkets, convenience stores and restaurants. We do not have distribution agreements with our suppliers nor do we have purchase agreements with our large customers. A material decrease in food products supplied by these large suppliers or a significant reduction in sales to our large customers would reduce our revenue and profitability.

 

4



 

Our success will be dependent on our ability to integrate the operations of acquired businesses.

                We have grown primarily through acquisitions of other food service companies. Achieving the benefits of these acquisitions depends on the timely, efficient and successful execution of a number of post-acquisition events, including integrating the business of the acquired company into our purchasing programs, distribution network, marketing programs and reporting and information systems. We may not be able to successfully integrate the acquired company’s operations or personnel, or realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. Our ability to integrate acquisitions may be adversely affected by many factors, including the size of the business acquired and the allocation of our management resources among various integration efforts.

                Our results of operations also may be adversely affected by expenses incurred in making these acquisitions, by amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and by additional depreciation expense attributable to acquired assets. The businesses we acquired may also have liabilities or adverse operating issues that are still unknown to us.

Approximately 76% of the revenue of our Grupo Sur Promociones operating unit was generated by one customer, the loss of which would significantly reduce our revenue.

                For the six months ended June 30, 2007, over 76% of Grupo Sur Promociones’ revenue (33% of our pro forma company-wide revenue) was generated by Procter & Gamble. The loss of Procter & Gamble would significantly reduce our revenue and our potential profitability.

We could be subject to significant and costly product liability claims.

                We could be subject to significant product liability claims if the food products we sell cause injury or illness. We have liability insurance with respect to product liability claims. This insurance may not continue to be available at a reasonable cost or at all, and may not be adequate to cover all product liability claims against us. At times we seek contractual indemnification from resellers of our product, but any such indemnification is limited. The costs associated with product liability claims and product recalls could significantly reduce our operating results.

Competition in our industry is intense and could increase our costs or reduce our revenue.

                The food service distribution industry is highly competitive. We compete with numerous smaller distributors and large warehouse-style low cost retailers for customer sales. Some of these distributors and retailers have substantially greater financial and other resources than we do. In order to compete, we may be required to increase our marketing budget, which could increase our costs, or reduce our prices, which could reduce our revenue.

Our operations and profitability may be adversely affected by economic conditions in Mexico.

                Our food service business is sensitive to Mexico’s national and regional economic conditions, and the demand for our food service products may be adversely affected by economic downturns in Mexico, a reduction of tourism in Mexico as well as inflation, regulation, taxation or political instability in Mexico.

Currency fluctuations or the devaluation of the Peso could limit our ability to convert Pesos into U.S. Dollars and could subject us to foreign exchange losses, reducing our income and working capital.

A significant amount of our costs are U.S. Dollar-denominated, while our revenue is primarily Peso-denominated.  As a result, decreases in the value of the Peso against the U.S. Dollar could cause us to incur foreign exchange losses, which would reduce our income.  Severe devaluation or depreciation of the Peso may also result in governmental intervention, as has resulted in Argentina, or disruption of international foreign exchange markets.  This may limit our ability to transfer or convert Pesos into U.S. Dollars and other currencies.  The Mexican economy has suffered shortages in foreign exchange reserves in the past.  While the Mexican government does not currently restrict, and for more than ten years has not restricted, the right or ability of Mexican or foreign persons or entities to convert Pesos into U.S. Dollars or to transfer other currencies outside of Mexico, the Mexican government could institute restrictive exchange control policies in the future.  To the extent that the Mexican government institutes restrictive exchange control policies in the future, our ability to transfer or convert pesos into U.S. Dollars may be limited, which could reduce our working capital.

High inflation rates in Mexico may decrease demand for our food and food-related products while increasing our costs.

Mexico historically has experienced high levels of inflation, although the rates have been lower in recent years.  Nonetheless, Mexico’s current level of inflation remains higher than the annual inflation rates of its main trading partners.  High inflation rates can adversely affect our business and results of operations in the following ways:

                  Inflation can reduce consumer purchasing power, thereby reducing consumer demand for our products;

                  To the extent inflation exceeds our price increases, our prices and revenues will be reduced in “real” terms; and

                  If the rate of Mexican inflation exceeds the rate of devaluation of the Peso against the U.S. Dollar, our U.S. Dollar-denominated sales will decrease in relative terms when stated in constant Mexican Pesos.

Because our common stock may in the future be classified as “penny stock,” trading may be limited, and the share price could decline.

 

        Because our common stock may in the future fall under the definition of “penny stock,” trading in the common stock, if any, may be limited because broker-dealers would be required to provide their customers with disclosure documents prior to allowing them to participate in transactions involving the common stock.  These disclosure requirements are burdensome to broker-dealers and may discourage them from allowing their customers to participate in transactions involving the common stock.

 

        “Penny stocks” are equity securities with a market price below $5.00 per share other than a security that is registered on a national exchange, included for quotation on the NASDAQ system or whose issuer has net tangible assets of more than $2,000,000 and has been in continuous operation for greater than three years.  Issuers who have been in operation for less than three years must have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000.

 

6



 

        Rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act require broker-dealers engaging in transactions in penny stocks, to first provide to their customers a series of disclosures and documents including:

 

                  A standardized risk disclosure document identifying the risks inherent in investment in penny stocks;

 

                  All compensation received by the broker-dealer in connection with the transaction;

 

                  Current quotation prices and other relevant market data; and

 

                  Monthly account statements reflecting the fair market value of the securities.

 

        These rules also require that a broker-dealer obtain financial and other information from a customer, determine that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for such customer and deliver a written statement to such customer setting forth the basis for this determination.

 

Our directors, executive officers and affiliates will continue to exert significant control over our future direction, which could reduce the sale value of our Company.

 

        Members of our Board of Directors and our executive officers, together with their affiliates, which includes York, own 56.3% of our outstanding common stock.  Accordingly, these stockholders, if they act together, will be able to control all matters requiring approval of our stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions.  This concentration of ownership, which could result in a continued concentration of representation on our Board of Directors, may delay, prevent or deter a change in control and could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of our assets.

 

Investors should not anticipate receiving cash dividends on our common stock.

 

        We have never declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on our common stock and intend to retain future earnings, if any, to support our operations and to finance expansion.  Therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future.

 

There is a reduced probability of a change of control or acquisition of us due to the possible issuance of additional preferred stock.  This reduced probability could deprive our investors of the opportunity to otherwise sell our stock in an acquisition of us by others.

 

                Our Articles of Incorporation authorize our Board of Directors to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 1,875,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 375,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, respectively, have been issued.  Our remaining preferred stock is issuable in one or more series and our Board of Directors has the power to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or designation of such series, without further vote or action by stockholders.  As a result of the existence of this “blank check” preferred stock, potential acquirers of our company may find it more difficult to, or be discouraged from, attempting to effect an acquisition transaction with, or a change of control of, our company, thereby possibly depriving holders of our securities of certain opportunities to sell or otherwise dispose of such securities at above-market prices pursuant to such transactions.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

                We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock being offered by the selling stockholders.  Any proceeds from the exercise of warrants will be added to our working capital.

Overview of the Business

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada (December 31, 2002 and until May 2006 we were a development stage company. In May we secured the distribution rights for Miller beer in Baja California, Mexico, and began distributing food products and beer in July 2006. We acquired four additional distribution companies operations, Piancone Group International, Inc. (PGII), Palermo Italian Food, LLC (Palermo), Eco Pac Distributing, LLC (Eco Pac) and Pasani, S.A. de C.V. (Pasani), expanding the Mexico operations, offering more than 2,000 food and food-related products to over 1,300 customers primarily in Mexico, the Baja California region of Mexico and Miami Florida.  Our customers include grocery stores, convenience stores, hotels, resorts, cafeterias, schools, industrial caterers and restaurants. We distribute a full line of frozen foods, such as meats, fully prepared entrees and desserts, and a full line of canned and dry goods, fresh meats and imported specialties. We also distribute a wide variety of food-related items such as disposable napkins, plates and cups, and have the exclusive right to distribute Miller beer in Baja California, Mexico.

 

                We believe that prompt and accurate delivery of orders, close contact with customers and the ability to provide a full array of products and services to assist customers in their food service operations are of primary importance in the marketing and distribution process. We offer daily delivery to certain customer locations and have the capability of delivering special orders on short notice. Through our 56 member sales force, we stay informed of the needs of our customers and acquaint them with new products and services. We also provide ancillary services to our customers relating to food service distribution such as providing product usage reports and other data, menu-planning advice, food safety training and assistance in inventory control.

 

                As of June 30, 2006 we had rented warehouse space and distribution  in San Diego, California, Miami, Florida, San Antonio, Texas and in Mexico; Mexico City, Tijuana, Monterrey, Cancun, Culiacan, Ciudad Juarez, Ensenada, Guadalajara, La Paz, Los Cabos and Puerto Penasco.

 

Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 and Results of Operations for the six months ended June 31, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 31, 2006

                We generated revenues for the first time in the last half of 2006, $4,679,868 as compared to $1,400 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was due to our acquisitions in 2006. Our pro forma revenue which includes projected operations had our company consolidated these revenues for twelve months indicates pro forma revenue of $16,180,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 and $16,080,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. We are anticipating higher revenues in 2007.

 

                Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $701,271 (15%) of sales.  The pro forma gross profit $1,142,639 was also 15% of sales. We believe with additional companies in place that purchasing costs will improve resulting in higher gross profit percentages.

 

Six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2006

 

                We were in the development stage until June 30, 2006, and as such the comparative numbers are not reflective of a company in business for those two years.

 

                We generated revenues of $12,926,000 compared to $389 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The increase is due primarily to the increase in sales due to the acquisitions (approximately $6,000,000) and to sale of Miller beer, the distribution contract we acquired in May 2006 and the fact that we did not commence operations until July 1, 2006.

 

                Gross profit for the period ended June 30, 2007 was $2,183,000 (17%) of sales as compared to $146 of sales for the same period in 2006. In addition to increasing sales volumes we are also striving to increase the percentage of gross profit.

General and Administrative Expenses

 

For the year ended December 31, 2006 and six months ended June 30, 2007

 

                Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,455,561. Of this amount $634,000 were legal,  auditing and consulting costs associated with the acquisitions and start up of our distribution business, $265,000 were other valued added  taxes in Mexico and $565,000 of (non-cash) amortization of the Miller beer licensing agreement.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006

 

                Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5,038,405 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $265,000 for the same period 2006 and $2,455,561 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The increase over the year ended December 31, 2006 ($2,582,000) is due to the increase in amortization of the Miller beer license of $360,000, legal and other professional fees associated with the private placements financing of $742,000, the opening of additional distribution warehouses in Puerto Penasco, Mexicali and Cabo San Lucas of $300,000 and by inclusion of six months of general and administrative expenses of PGII and Palermo that were acquired late in 2006 of $1,180,000. By combining corporate duties and sales efforts we seek to eliminate a substantial amount of overhead.

We had a cash balance of $476,376 at December 31, 2006 as compared to $14,254 at December 31, 2005. We have been able to raise capital  for operations and to acquire the Miller beer distribution license by obtaining loans in the amount of $2,076,000 and receiving subscription for stock in the amount of $2,335,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006.

 

                We had a cash balance of $842,385 at June 30, 2007 as compared to $476,376 at December 31, 2006.  We have been able to raise capital for operations, mainly by loans and stock issuances which resulted in acquisitions.

 

                We acquired assets, licensed marks and Pasani\Eco Pac for $6,754,000, financing with $6,000,000 in loans.  We issued stock for cash $7,287,000 which financed the pay down of debt and loss for the period.

 

                We expect to finance the capital needed with additional issuances of our securities. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007 we closed out the share offering placed by Brookstreet Securities Corporation.

 

                Subsequent to June 30, 2007 we obtained additional financing from York Capital in the amount of $15,000,000 in order to make additional acquisitions.

BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

        We market and distribute more than 2,000 food and food-related products to over 2,300 customers throughout Mexico.  Our customers include grocery stores, convenience stores, hotels, resorts, cafeterias, schools, industrial caterers and restaurants.

 

        Since our April 2006 acquisition of the exclusive right to distribute Miller beer in Baja California, we have primarily grown through a series of acquisitions of food service companies. In October 2006 we acquired the assets of Piancone Food Group, Inc. which distributes food products primarily in Baja California. In November 2006 we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Palermo Foods, LLC which distributes food products primarily in Miami, Florida, the east coast of Mexico and the Caribbean. In May 2007 we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Pasani S.A. de C.V. and its affiliate Eco Pak Distributing, which distributes food products primarily in Mexico. In July 2007 we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Grupo Sur Promociones which merchandises and promotes food products to over 240,000 retail food stores, primarily in Mexico.  In October 2007 we acquired all of the common stock of Comercial Targa, S.A., De C.V., a Mexican food distributor specializing in cheeses and other dairy products.

 

        We distribute a full line of frozen foods, such as meats, fully prepared entrees and desserts, and a full line of canned and dry goods, fresh meats and imported specialties.  We also distribute a wide variety of food-related items such as disposable napkins, plates and cups, and have the exclusive right to distribute Miller beer in Baja California. In addition to sales and distribution, we merchandise and promote food and beverage products in over 240,000 stores through Grupo Sur Promociones.

 

We believe that prompt and accurate delivery of orders, close contact with customers and the ability to provide a full array of products and services to assist customers in their food service operations throughout Mexico are of primary importance in the marketing and distribution process in Mexico.  We offer daily delivery to certain customer locations and have the capability of delivering special orders on short notice.  Through our 68 member sales force and 4,500 Grupo Sur Promociones contracted sales and merchandising force, we stay informed of the needs of our customers and acquaint them with new products and services.  We also provide ancillary services to our customers relating to food service distribution such as providing product usage reports and other data, menu-planning advice, food safety training and assistance in inventory control.

Industry Background

 

Mexico’s hotel, restaurant and institutional food service sector accounted for annual sales of approximately $46 billion in 2002, according to a 2003 report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.  The food service distribution industry in Mexico is highly fragmented and relatively undeveloped.  There are more than 25,000 independent food service distribution companies in Mexico with estimated average annual revenues of approximately $1.5 million according to the 2003 USDA report.  Mexico’s hotel and restaurant businesses, especially in Baja California, are heavily dependent on tourism.  We believe that the majority of foreign tourists in Mexico are from the United States and generally prefer to purchase U.S. food products.  According to Mexico’s Secretary of Tourism in the 2003 USDA report, there were approximately 11,618 hotels and over 200,000 restaurants in Mexico in 2002.

 

15



 

The food service industry in Mexico is served almost entirely by independent distributors.  While some hotels and restaurants import products directly, the number is relatively few and most foreign food products are imported through a distributor.  Due to the complex nature of importation and the large minimum order sizes imposed by food manufacturers, the intermediary role of the independent distributor is necessary for inventory warehousing and delivery.  Moreover, the roads and infrastructure of Mexico make U.S.-style, large-scale delivery and logistical methods difficult, necessitating more frequent deliveries using smaller delivery vehicles.  These unique logistical challenges may be an important barrier to entry for large “multi-supplier” U.S. food service distributors in the Mexican market.

 

Since there are no large, national food service distributors in Mexico, the industry is divided into three general categories:  (i) fast food distributors focused on international chains such as McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Domino’s Pizza and Burger King, (ii) specialized importers that serve middle and upper-tier markets and provide primarily foreign food products or products that are not widely available in Mexico and (iii) produce and basic dry goods distributors that distribute local products and widely-available foreign products.  Of these three categories, we believe specialized importers such as we add the most value and may have the potential for the highest profit margins.

 

We are primarily a specialized importer.  However, we believe that, over the next decade, Mexico will begin to see U.S.-style; “multi-supplier” companies enter this market.  Our goal is to become a leader in this market.  Due to the unique challenges in Mexico described above, major U.S. distributors such as Sysco, Inc. and U.S. Foodservice, Inc. may not choose to enter this market directly.  The primary competitive advantages of these companies are the economies of scale and large-scale logistical systems they have established.  We believe those systems may be difficult to implement in Mexico at this time.  Therefore, we believe that the larger distribution companies in Mexico may be companies using a distribution and sales system organically grown and operated in Mexico, such as ours.

We distribute over 2,000 food and non-food products, including a five-year exclusive agreement with Miller Beer Company for the distribution of Miller beer in Baja California, non-binding distribution arrangements which we have with name brands including Nestle, Cora, Mitsuki, Bonet and Bellissimo.  and over 300 proprietary products that we offer under a variety of our own brand names.

We bill our services either to the retail food stores themselves or to the manufacturer of the food products who pay us to merchandise in the retail store on their behalf.  We service these retail food stores using over 4,500 employees provided to us by three other companies, which are owned by executive officers of our Grupo Sur Promociones subsidiary.  We do not employ these individuals ourselves, but, rather, we contract with the other three companies to provide their services to us on a contract basis.  These companies provide their employees’ services to us at their cost.

Business Strategy

 

Our goal is to increase revenue through both internal growth and the acquisition of Mexican-based food distributors.  We believe that the food distribution market in Mexico may be ideal for consolidation because it is fragmented, offers economies of scale related to cost reduction and elimination of redundant services and allows for improvements in inventory and accounts receivable financing, which is often the most significant factor limiting the growth of small distributors in Mexico.

Specific benefits to consolidation in the food service distribution industry include:

 

                  Economies of scaleDistribution is most efficiently done at scale.  As distribution size increases, margins may improve, suppliers may become more willing to provide products at attractive prices, financing may become available and customers may increase order size and frequency.  Other economies may include accounting and other administrative expenses, direct purchase discounts, warehousing costs and importation fees.

                  Simplified transport of goodsTransportation represents a large percentage of the cost of a delivered food product, especially if it requires refrigeration.  By bundling many deliveries in one route or vehicle, the margins on individual deliveries may improve.

                  Ability to order directly from manufacturers.  Manufacturers often have minimum order sizes for direct purchases.  Until these can be met, distributors often must order through other larger distributors and pay a premium to them.  Once direct purchase is an option, margins may improve.

                  Regional and national accounts.  The ability to target regional and national account customers and name-brand suppliers that are too large for smaller distributors.

In addition to the purchase price and ease of integrating an acquisition, factors we consider in connection with an acquisition include:

                  Whether the acquired company has the necessary personnel willing to stay on;

                  The acquired company’s corporate culture; and

                  The acquired company’s product mix and customer base.

We seek to standardize operating procedures across acquisitions as we become satisfied with the acquired company’s management and customer stability.

We believe acquisition candidates will continue to be available to us, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to acquire additional companies in the future.  Food service distributors in Mexico rely heavily on their principals and there is not an active or competitive market to purchase these companies.  Retiring company owners often terminate their operations as opposed to seeking a buyer.  Small distribution companies are under continual financial stress because they must internally finance nearly all of their inventory and receivables due to what we believe to be limited receivables financing and bank lending in Mexico.  For smaller distributors, the opportunity to have access to our inventory and resources and become a commissioned agent for us may also be attractive.

Marketing and Distribution

 

We currently have 68 full time sales people and over 4,500 contract employees involved in our Grupo Sur Promociones sales and merchandising force.  Our sales people are responsible for maintaining close contact with customers, visiting them regularly, distributing price lists and introducing new products.  Our sales people regularly visits all hotels and restaurants in their territories in order to introduce our products and services to them.  In most cases they collect all payments for products directly from customers since checks are generally not sent through the mail in Mexico.  For larger, more institutional, clients our senior management often accompanies our sales people on marketing visits.

 

Our marketing efforts also include attendance at food shows to attract new customers and introduce new products.  We often invite interested buyers to a hotel or convention center and arrange for a representative from the manufacturer or supplier to present products to them.

We deliver our products using approximately 36 trucks, including both refrigerated and dry trucks, driven by approximately 50 drivers.  We support our sales and deliveries by maintaining warehouses in San Diego, Miami and San Antonio, and in the Mexican cities of Tijuana, Cancun, Culiacan, Ciudad Juarez, Ensenada, Mexico City, Guadalajara, Mexicali, La Paz, Monterey, Puerto Penasco and Cabo San Lucas.

 

Information Systems and Accounting

We currently manage the ordering, receiving, warehousing, inventory and delivery of products using several different accounting software programs acquired when we purchased some of our operating units. Our intent is to unify each of our operating units under one software system within the next 12 months. Our current software assists us in timely and accurate financial reporting by our subsidiaries to our corporate headquarters.  Software development and maintenance is managed on a centralized basis by our outsourced information technology staff.  The software has been enhanced to provide standardized product identifiers to facilitate leveraging our purchasing volume across our distribution network.  In the future, we intend to enhance our warehouse management system by using barcode scanning to track products within our distribution centers.  This technology is intended to enhance productivity by reducing errors in inventory put-away and selection.

Our software management system also tracks employee productivity to analyze warehouse efficiencies.  We are in the process of installing truck routing software to optimize the distribution routes traveled by our trucks in order to reduce excess mileage and improve the timeliness of customer deliveries.  For inbound freight, we implement a centralized inbound logistics system that optimizes consolidated deliveries from our suppliers.  We have also implemented an Internet-based ordering system that allows customers to have real-time access to product information, inventory levels and their purchasing histories.

 

Competition

We primarily compete with thousands of small family businesses that distribute supplies to the food service and retail industry in Mexico. To a lesser extent, we compete with warehouse style low cost retailers, such as Wal-Mart, that sell food products directly to restaurants and retailers. Most food distributors in Mexico specialize in one product category such as cheese, meat or canned goods.  There are no major U.S. or Mexico distributors that supply a full line of grocery and refrigerated products to the food service market in Mexico.

 

19



 

                Unlike the foodservice distribution business in Mexico, there are only a handful of nationwide merchandising and promotion companies which compete with our Grupo Sur Promociones unit.  These competitors include MS Prom, Dinamere, A&P, MAP and Promerc.

 

                With respect to competitive factors among food distribution companies, we believe that prompt and regular delivery service, price and product availability are the three major competitive factors.  We believe our delivery services, prices and product availability are superior to most of our smaller competitors and that our ability to deliver products nationwide in Mexico is a competitive advantage.  Our chain retail competitors offer prices equal to ours but generally do not provide delivery services.

 

                Competitive factors in connection with Grupo Sur Promociones’ merchandising business  include the price of merchandising services, the quality of point of sale materials, geographical availability of merchandising services and the quality of information services available to customers.  We believe we have competitive advantages as a result of the size of the geographical area we service, the fact that we offer these services through 4,500 contract employees and to 240,000 customers throughout Mexico and what we perceive to be the high quality of our point of purchase materials and our information services.  We also believe that our pricing of merchandising services is competitive.

As of July 31, 2007, we had a total of 83 full-time employees and over 4,500 contract employees operating from our three U.S. facilities, and our 15 warehouses in Mexico.  None of our employees is subject to a collective bargaining agreement and we have not experienced any work stoppages.  We believe that our employee relations are good.

 

Facilities

We conduct our operations from our 12,000 square foot leased corporate headquarters in San Diego, California, which we also use as a receiving and importation warehouse.  We also have 17 additional warehouses and offices, located in Miami, San Antonio, Tijuana (2), Cancun, Culiacan, Ciudad Juarez, Ensenada, Mexico City (3), Guadalajara, Mexicali, La Paz, Monterey, Puerto Penasco and Cabo San Lucas.  Total rent expense for an aggregate of 18 warehouses and offices is currently $69,000 per month.  The terms of these leases run from one year to five years, aggregate 184,000 square feet and average $.37 per square foot of facilities leased.  Additional warehouse and other facilities are available to us if needed.

Equity Incentive Plan

 

        We intend to adopt an equity incentive plan, which we refer to as our Plan, which will provide for the grant of options intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” and “non-statutory stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 together with the grant of bonus stock and stock appreciation rights at the discretion of our Board of Directors.  Incentive stock options are issuable only to our eligible officers, directors and key employees.  Non-statutory stock options are issuable only to our non-employee directors and consultants.  We have not determined the aggregate maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Plan.  The Plan will be administered by our full Board of Directors.  Under the Plan, the Board will determine which individuals shall receive options, grants or stock appreciation rights, the time period during which the rights may be exercised, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased under the rights and the option price.

 

                With respect to stock options, the per share exercise price of the common stock may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted.  No person who owns, directly or indirectly, at the time of the granting of an incentive stock option, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock is eligible to receive incentive stock options under the Plan unless the option price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the common stock subject to the option on the date of grant.  The option price for non-statutory options will be established by the Board and may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock subject to the option on the date of grant.

 

                No options may be transferred by an optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of an optionee, the option may only be exercisable by the optionee.  Options may be exercised only if the option holder remains continuously associated with us from the date of grant to the date of exercise, unless extended under the Plan grant.  Options under the Plan must be granted within 10 years from the effective date of the Plan and the exercise date of an option cannot be later than 5 years from the date of grant.  Any options that expire unexercised or that terminate upon an optionee’s ceasing to be employed by us become available once again for issuance.  Shares issued upon exercise of an option rank equally with other shares then outstanding.

 

Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

                Our Articles of Incorporation provide that liability of directors to us for monetary damages is eliminated to the full extent provided by Nevada law.  Under Nevada law, a director is not personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for

 

23



 

authorizing the unlawful payment of a dividend or other distribution on our capital stock or the unlawful purchases of our capital stock; (iv) a violation of Nevada law with respect to conflicts of interest by directors; or (v) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit.

 

The effect of this provision in our Articles of Incorporation is to eliminate our rights and our stockholders’ rights (through stockholders’ derivative suits) to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director (including any breach resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (i) through (v) above.  This provision does not limit or eliminate our rights or the rights of our security holders to seek non-monetary relief, such as an injunction or rescission, in the event of a breach of a director’s duty of care or any liability for violation of the federal securities laws.

 

                Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Information Regarding the Selling Stockholders

 

                The shares of our common stock which the selling stockholders or their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest may offer for resale will be sold on the Electronic Bulletin Board at then prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices in one or more of the following transactions:

 

                  Block transactions;

                  Transactions on the Bulletin Board or on such other market on which our common stock may from time to time be trading;

                  Privately negotiated transactions;

                  Through the writing of options on the shares; or

                  Any combination of these transactions.

                The sale price to the public in these transactions may be:

 

                  The market price prevailing at the time of sale;

                  A price related to the prevailing market price;

                  Negotiated prices; or

                  Such other price as the selling stockholders determine from time to time.

                In the event that we permit or cause this prospectus to lapse, the selling stockholders may only sell shares of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933.  The selling stockholders will have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of these shares of our common stock if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.

 

                The selling stockholders may also sell these shares of our common stock directly to market makers and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for their customers.  These broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of these shares of our common stock for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents.  As to a particular broker-dealer, this compensation might be in excess of customary commissions.  Market makers and block purchasers purchasing these shares of our common stock may do so for their own account and at their own risk.  It is possible that a selling stockholder will attempt to sell shares of our common stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the prevailing market price of our common stock.  There can be no assurance that all or any of these shares of our common stock offered hereby will be issued to, or sold by, the selling stockholders.  Upon effecting the sale of any of these shares of our common stock offered under this prospectus, the selling stockholders and any brokers, dealers or agents, hereby, may be deemed “underwriters” as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

                Alternatively, the selling stockholders may sell all or any part of the shares of our common stock offered hereby through an underwriter.  No selling stockholder has entered into any agreement with a

 

 

39



 

prospective underwriter and there is no assurance that any such agreement will be entered into.  If a selling stockholder enters into an agreement or agreements with an underwriter, then the relevant details will be set forth in a supplement or revision to this prospectus.

 

                The selling stockholders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of these shares of our common stock will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder including, without limitation, Regulation M.  These provisions may restrict activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of these shares of our common stock by, the selling stockholders.  Furthermore, pursuant to Regulation M, a person engaged in a distribution of securities is prohibited from bidding for, purchasing or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase our securities for a period beginning five business days prior to the date of this prospectus until such person is no longer a selling stockholder.  These regulations may affect the marketability of these shares of our common stock.

 

                We will pay substantially all of the expenses incident to the registration and offering of our common stock, other than commissions or discounts of underwriters, broker-dealers or agents.

 

RELATED PARTY AND OTHER MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

 

                On May 3, 2006, we acquired the exclusive rights from Piancone Group International, Inc. to market Miller beer in Baja California, Mexico, in exchange for 17,500,000 shares of our common stock.  At that time, neither Sandro Piancone nor Piancone Group was an affiliate.  Concurrent with the acquisition of these rights, Sandro Piancone became our Chief Executive Officer and a director.  In October, 2006 we acquired substantially all of the assets of Piancone Group in exchange for the issuance of 15,000,000 shares of our common stock.  Sandro Piancone, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, was the Chief Executive Officer, a director and the controlling stockholder of Piancone Group International, Inc. at the time its assets were acquired by us.  We did not obtain a fairness opinion in connection with our acquisition of Piancone.  However, we believe the acquisition was fair and reasonable.

 

                We contract for our 4,500 Grupo Sur Promociones employees from three companies, all of which are owned by executive officers of our Grupo Sur Promociones subsidiary.  These companies provide their employees’ services to us at their cost.  The terms of the contracts for all three companies are the same.

 

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

General

 

                We are authorized to issue 195,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value per share.

 

Common Stock

 

                Currently, there are 83,616,707 shares of common stock outstanding.  The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors.  There is no right to cumulate votes in the election of directors.  The holders of common stock are entitled to any dividends that may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore subject to the prior rights of holders of preferred stock and any contractual restrictions we have against the payment of dividends on common stock.  In the event of our liquidation or dissolution, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of

 

 

40



 

liabilities and the liquidation preferences of any outstanding shares of preferred stock.  Holders of common stock have no preemptive rights and have no right to convert their common stock into any other securities.

 

Preferred Stock

 

                We are authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series with such designations, voting powers, if any, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and such qualifications, limitations and restrictions, as are determined by resolution of our Board of Directors.  The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company without further action by stockholders and could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of common stock.  In certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could depress the market price of the common stock. We have 1,875,000 shares of series A Convertible Preferred stock outstanding and 375,000 of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as a result of the transactions described below.

 

                In July 2007 we issued 1,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 to York for $8.00 per share. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 20,000,000 shares of our common stock.

 

                As additional consideration for the purchase of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, we issued to York (i) a Series A-1 warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, at an exercise price of $8.00 per share, which in turn is convertible into 10,000,000 shares of our common stock (ii) a Series A-2 warrant to purchase 375,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, at an exercise price of $8.00 per share, which in turn is convertible into 7,500,000 shares of our common stock and (iii) a Series B warrant to purchase 375,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which in turn is convertible into 7,500,000 shares of our common stock.  York exercised all of the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred warrants in September and October 2007, and, accordingly, currently holds 1,875,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 375,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible into an aggregate of  45,000,000 shares of our Common Stock.

 

                The Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock have a liquidation preference of $8.00 per share and pay a cumulative dividend of 15% of the stated liquidation price per annum. Dividends are payable for a period of three years from the date of issuance and are payable in Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, as the case may be. The Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock vote the equivalent number of shares of the common stock they are convertible into and also vote on a share for share basis with respect to matters to be voted upon by preferred stockholders as a class.

 

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

 

                We have outstanding an aggregate of                         common stock purchase warrants exercisable into common stock at prices ranging from $.25 to $.84 per share of which shares underlying 24,438,403 warrants are being registered hereby.

 

Dividends

 

                We do not intend to pay dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future.

Transfer Agent

 

                Holladay Transfer, Inc., Scottsdale, Arizona, is our transfer agent.

 

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

                We have 83,616,707 shares of common stock outstanding, comprised of 27,910,150 shares which are being registered hereby and will be freely tradable shares upon the effective date of this prospectus and 55,706,557 shares which are restricted shares but are eligible for sale at any time under Rule 144.  We are also registering 69,438,403 shares underlying common stock purchase warrants and the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

                In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person, or persons whose shares are aggregated, who owns shares that were purchased from us, or any affiliate, at least one year previously, including a person who may be deemed our affiliate, is entitled to sell within any three month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

 

                  1% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock; or

                  The average weekly trading volume of our common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us.  Any person who is not deemed to have been our affiliate at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, and who owns shares within the definition of “restricted securities” under Rule 144 under the Securities Act that were purchased from us, or any affiliate, at least two years previously, is entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144(k) without regard to the volume limitations, manner of sale provisions, public information requirements or notice requirements.

 

                Future sales of restricted common stock under Rule 144 or otherwise or of the shares which we are registering under this prospectus could negatively impact the market price of our common stock.  We are unable to estimate the number of shares that may be sold in the future by our existing stockholders or the effect, if any, that sales of shares by such stockholders will have on the market price of our common stock prevailing from time to time.  Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock by existing stockholders could adversely affect prevailing market prices.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Best Beer S.A. de C. V., (Best Beer) International Foodservice Specialists, Inc. (IFS), Palermo Italian Foods, LLC (Palermo), Pasani, S.A de C.V. and Eco Pac Distributing, LLC

 

The financial statements have been consolidated with the parent company and all inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash flow statements are are prepared in the foreign currency prior to translation. Translation gains and losses are recorded in stockholders’ equity and realized gains and losses are reflected in operations.

 

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting standards (GAAP). The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

F-4



 

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets, and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, however the Company is not currently aware of any changes in such estimates.

 

INVENTORIES

 

Inventories are accounted for on the first-in, first-out basis. Any products reaching their expiration dates are written off.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company reports revenue using the accrual method, in which revenues are recorded as services are rendered or as products are delivered and billings are generated.

 

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

 

The Company has not had sufficient experience with bad debts to establish a policy. However, the Company has reviewed all accounts and determined that an allowance for uncollectible accounts required at June 30, 2007 is $50,000

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is three to ten years.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETES

 

The Company acquired long-lived assets during the last six month of the year ended December 31, 2006 and first six months of 2007. The company will review the carrying values of its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable and\or annually. No impairment losses were recorded in 2007.

 

TAXES ON INCOME

 

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SFAS No. 109) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expense or benefit is based on the change in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

 

Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

 

STOCK - BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123r share based payment. The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees and non employees. The Company did not grant any new employee options and no options were cancelled or exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

 

F-5



 

EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

 

GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The Company commenced operations distributing Miller beer and other products in Baja California, Mexico starting July 1, 2006. The Company has acquired additional distribution companies during the past year.

NOTE E - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company has unsecured loans form stockholders totaling $628,000 at June 30, 2007. The loans have various due dates and contain interest rates ranging from 10% to 18%. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 the Company issued 2,820,977 to retire $1,130,391 of shareholder debt.

 

The maturities of notes payable at June 30, 2007 are as all within one year.

 

On May 3, 2006, we acquired the exclusive rights from Piancone Group International, Inc. to market Miller Beer in Baja California, Mexico, in exchange for 17,500,000 shares of our common stock. At that time, neither Sandro Piancone nor Piancone Group was an affiliate. Concurrent with the acquisition of these rights, Sandro Piancone became our Chief Executive Officer and a director. In October 2006, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Piancone Group in exchange for the issuance of 15,000,000 shares of our common stock. Sandro Piancone, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, was the Chief Executive Officer, a director and the controlling stockholder of Piancone Group International, Inc. at the time its assets were acquired by us. We believe our purchase of Piancone Group’s assets was fair and reasonable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Nascent Wine Company, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of  Nascent Wine Company, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Stockholders Equity (deficit),  and Consolidated Cash Flows for the periods then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on theseConsolidated financial statements based upon our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with 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 that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Nascent Wine Company, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has not been profitable and has a negative current ratio. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount ands classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

DECEMBER 31, 2006

 

NOTE A - COMPANY OVERVIEW AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

COMPANY OVERVIEW

 

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, on December31, 2002 (Date of inception). The Company had minimal operations until it acquired the rights to distribute Miller Beer in Baja California, Mexico from Piancone Group International, Inc. (PGII), issuing 17,500,000 shares of common stock at the par value $0.45 per share ($7,875,000) and paying off $800,000 debt of previous license holder. It started its distribution operations as of July 1, 2006.

 

In accordance with SFAS #7, the Company was considered a development stage company until it started operations on July 1, 2006.

 

The Company incorporated Best Beer S.A. de C. V. (Best Beer) in May 2006 in order to distribute in Baja California.

 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Best Beer S.A. de C. V., International Food Services, Inc. and Palermo Italian Foods, LLC.

 

The financial statements have been consolidated with the parent company and all inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting standards (GAAP). The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles  generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets, and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues. and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

INVENTORIES

 

Inventories are accounted for on the first-in, first-out basis. Any products reaching their expiration dates are written off.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company reports revenue using the accrual method, in which revenues are recorded as services are rendered or as products are delivered and billings are generated.

 

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

 

The Company has not had sufficient experience with bad debts to establish a policy. However, the Company has reviewed all accounts and determined that no allowance for uncollectible accounts are required at December 31, 2006

 

F6



 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is three to ten years.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETES

 

The Company acquired long-lived assets during the last six month of the year ended December 31, 2006. The company will review the carrying values of its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable and\or annually. No impairment losses were recorded in 2006.

 

TAXES ON INCOME

 

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SFAS No. 109) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expense or benefit is based on the change in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

 

Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

 

STOCK - BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123r share based payment. The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees and non employees. The Company did not grant any new employee options and no options were cancelled or exercised during the year  ended December 31, 2006.

 

EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

 

GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has sustained significant losses and has used capital raised through the issuance of stock to fund activities. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is contingent upon establishing and achieving profitable operations. Such operations will require management to secure additional financing for the Company in the form of debt or equity.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently This statement does not effect the company’s financial statements

In October 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued EITF 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (that is, Gross versus Net Presentation)” to clarify diversity in practice on the presentation of different types of taxes in the financial statements. The Task Force concluded that, for taxes within the scope of the issue, a company may adopt a policy of presenting taxes either gross within revenue or net. That is, it may include charges to customers for taxes within revenues and the charge for the taxes from the taxing authority within cost of sales, or, alternatively, it may net the charge to the customer and the charge from the taxing authority. If taxes subject to EITF 06-3 are significant, a company is required to disclose its accounting policy for presenting taxes and the amounts of such taxes that are recognized on a gross basis. The guidance in this consensus is effective for the first interim reporting period beginning after December 15, 2006 (the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2007). This statement does not effect the company’s financial statements

 

In September 2006, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). This SAB provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial statement errors based on the effects on each of the company’s balance sheets, statements of operations and related financial statement disclosures. The SAB permits existing public companies to record the cumulative effect of initially applying this approach in the first year ending after November 15, 2006 by recording the necessary correcting adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that year with the offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. Additionally, the use of the cumulative effect transition method requires detailed disclosure of the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected through the cumulative adjustment and how and when it arose. This statement does not effect the company’s financial statements

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employer’s accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post Retirement Plans”.  SFAS No. 158 requires employers to recognize in its statement of financial position an asset or liability based on the retirement plan’s over or under funded status.  SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. This statement does not effect the company’s financial statements

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. This statement does not effect the company’s financial statements

In September 2006, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). This SAB provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial statement errors based on the effects on each of the company’s balance sheets, statements of operations and related financial statement disclosures. The SAB permits existing public companies to record the cumulative effect of initially applying this approach in the first year ending after November 15, 2006 by recording the necessary correcting adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that year with the offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. Additionally, the use of the cumulative effect transition method requires detailed disclosure of the nature

and amount of each individual error being corrected through the cumulative adjustment and how and when it arose. This statement does not effect the company’s financial statements

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employer’s accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post Retirement Plans”.  SFAS No. 158 requires employers to recognize in its statement of financial position an asset or liability based on the retirement plan’s over or under funded status.  SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, This statement does not effect the company’s financial statements

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Issues No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which defines the fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands 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. Early adoption is encouraged, provided that the Company has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including any financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year This statement does not effect the company’s financial statements

 

In July 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law. This interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  This statement does not effect the company’s financial statements

 

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets” (“SFAS NO. 156”), which provides an approach to simplify efforts to obtain hedge-like (offset) accounting. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. The Statement (1) requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain situations; (2) requires that a separately recognized servicing asset or servicing liability be initially measured at fair value, if practicable; (3) permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value method for subsequent measurement for each class of separately recognized servicing assets or servicing liabilities; (4) permits at initial adoption a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by an entity with recognized servicing rights, provided the securities reclassified offset the entity’s exposure to changes in the fair value of the servicing assets or liabilities; and (5) requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the balance sheet and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted in certain circumstances. The Statement also describes the manner in which it should be initially applied. This statement does not effect the company’s financial statements

 

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”, which amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities” and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities”. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133 to narrow the scope exception for interest-only and principal-only strips on debt instruments to include only such strips representing rights to receive a specified portion of the contractual interest or principle cash flows. SFAS No. 155 also amends SFAS No. 140 to allow qualifying special-purpose entities to hold a passive derivative financial instrument pertaining to beneficial interests that itself is a derivative instrument. This statement does not effect the company’s financial statements

 

In November 2005, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” (“FSP 115-1 and 124-1”), which clarifies when an investment is considered impaired, whether the impairment is other-than-temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. It also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of the other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. FSP 115-1 and 124-1 are effective for all reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. This statement does not effect the company’s financial statements

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS No. 154”). SFAS No. 154 is a replacement of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3. SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective application as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 provides guidance for determining whether retrospective application of a change in accounting principle is impracticable and for reporting a change when retrospective application is impracticable. SFAS No. 154 also addresses the reporting of a correction of an error by restating previously issued financial statements. SFAS No 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. This statement does not effect the company’s financial statements

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions.” The amendments made by Statement 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged.  Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance.  Previously, Opinion 29 required that the accounting for an exchange of a productive asset for a similar productive asset or an equivalent interest in the same or similar productive asset should be based on the recorded amount of the asset relinquished.  Opinion 29 provided an exception to its basic measurement principle (fair value) for exchanges of similar productive assets.  The FASB believes that exception required that some nonmonetary exchanges, although commercially substantive, be recorded on a carryover basis.  By focusing the exception on exchanges that lack commercial substance, the FASB believes this statement produces financial reporting that more faithfully represents the economics of the transactions.  SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005.  Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after the date of issuance.  The provisions of SFAS 153 shall be applied prospectively.  This statement does not effect the company’s financial statements

 

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4”. The amendments made by Statement 151 clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current period charges and require the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The guidance is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after November 23, 2004. This statement does not effect the company’s financial statements

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Issues No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which defines the fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

On May 3, 2006, we acquired the exclusive rights from Piancone Group International, Inc. to market Miller Beer in Baja California, Mexico, in exchange for 17,500,000 shares of our common stock. At that time, neither Sandro Piancone nor Piancone Group was an affiliate. Concurrent with the acquisition of these rights, Sandro Piancone became our Chief Executive Officer and a director. In June 2006, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Piancone Group in exchange for the issuance of 15,000,000 shares of our common stock. Sandro Piancone, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, was the Chief Executive Officer, a director and the controlling stockholder of Piancone Group International, Inc. at the time its assets were acquired by us. We believe our purchase of Piancone Group’s assets was fair and reasonable.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

ITEM 24.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

                Our Articles of Incorporation provide that liability of directors to us for monetary damages is eliminated to the full extent provided by Nevada law.  Under Nevada law, a director is not personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for authorizing the unlawful payment of a dividend or other distribution on our capital stock or the unlawful purchases of our capital stock; (iv) a violation of Nevada law with respect to conflicts of interest by directors; or (v) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit.

 

The effect of this provision in our Articles of Incorporation is to eliminate our rights and our stockholders’ rights (through stockholders’ derivative suits) to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director (including any breach resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (i) through (v) above.  This provision does not limit or eliminate our rights or the rights of our security holders to seek non-monetary relief, such as an injunction or rescission, in the event of a breach of a director’s duty of care or any liability for violation of the federal securities laws.

 

                Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 28.  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 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

                                ii.             To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high

 

 

II-4



 

end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 12% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of registration Fee” table in the effective registration statements; 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, 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 being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

    (4)           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer 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 small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer 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.

 

    (5)           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 files 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)9i), (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

 

 

II-5



 

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 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.

 

    (6)           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:

 

    The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering 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 by 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.
