NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2008

(Unaudited)

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Results for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2009. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Atlantic Wine Agencies, Inc., formerly New England Acquisitions, Inc., annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2008.

NOTE B - GOING CONCERN

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $8,540,903 as of December 31, 2008. Management has spun out the Company’s two wholly owned subsidiaries located in South Africa, Mount Rosier Properties (Pty) Ltd. and Mount Rosier Estate (Pty) Ltd., and is presently seeking a merger candidate. Should the Company not be able to achieve this objective, it is doubtful that the Company will be able to survive. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE C - STOCKHOLDER EQUITY

On April 17, 2008, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock to Sapphire Development, Ltd. for consulting in connection with the spin-out of the assets of the Company’s two wholly owned subsidiaries, Mount Rosier Properties (Pty) Ltd. and Mount Rosier Estate (Pty) Ltd. The shares were valued at $0.35 per share.

NOTE D - REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

On May 5, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a 25:1 reverse split, which became effective May 19, 2008. Accordingly, all per share figures have been restated.

NOTE E - CHANGE IN CONTROL

Lusierna Asset Management Ltd. (“Lusierna”) has obtained a controlling interest in the Company’s common shares. Lusierna is an affiliate of Antonio Treminio who became the Company’s new sole director, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer on October 7, 2008

Lusierna obtained an interest in approximately 50% of the Company’s common stock pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement between Lusierna, and Sapphire Development Ltd., Crayson Properties Ltd. and Fairhurst Properties S.A. (the “Sellers”). Under the Share Purchase Agreement, the Sellers sold 2,310,086 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for $200,000.

The Share Purchase Agreement contains a provision that a default of the covenants therein at a subsequent date would result in a change in control of the Company. The Share Purchase Agreement states that Lusierna must transfer a number of shares directly or indirectly held or owned by it which would give the Sellers as a group over a 50% voting interest in the Company if prior to the earlier of 12 months of the completion of a material merger, acquisition or share exchange whereby more than 50% of the Company’s common stock shall be issued as consideration for such transaction (a “Corporate Event”), Lusierna takes any action as a shareholder or member of our Board of Directors to:

·	increase the size of the Company’s Board of Directors to more than one director,

·	issue more than 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock or other stock for consideration unless such issuance is directly related to a Corporate Event,

·	prevent the completion of the Split-Off or

·	transfer in the open market or otherwise encumber or create a lien upon any of the control shares or execute a private transaction for the sale of control shares in which it fails to require any subsequent purchaser to abide by the restrictions found in the Share Purchase Agreement.

NOTE F - SPIN-OFF AGREEMENT

On September 22, 2008, the Company entered into a material definitive agreement with Fairhurst Properties, S.A. ("Fairhurst"). Fairhurst is a company owned 100% by the Company's former principal shareholder and Chief Executive Officer. The spin-out agreement provides for the "split-off" of all the Company's interests in two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mount Rozier Properties (Pty) Ltd. and Mount Rozier Estate (Pty) Ltd. These wholly owned subsidiaries owned all the assets of the Company. In exchange for the assets surrendered and spun-off, Fairhurst assumed all of the debt and obligations of the subsidiary.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our net sales for the three-month and nine-month periods ending December 31, 2008 decreased to $0 from $54,842 and to $116,705 from $169,255 for the corresponding periods ending December 31, 2007. These decreases are the result of the spin-off of our two wholly owned subsidiaries that operated our business and produced all of our sales. As we no longer have an operating business, we do not anticipate that we will have sales in the foreseeable future unless we merge with or acquire a business with an operating business that has sales.

Our operating loss for the three-months ended December 31, 2008 aggregated $19,000 or $(0.01) per share as compared to $158,301 or $(0.05) per share for the three-months ended December 31, 2007. This decrease in operating loss is due to the sale of our subsidiaries conducting our former operating business in October of 2008. Our operating loss for the nine-months ended December 31, 2008 aggregated $449,580 or $(0.10) per share as compared to $408,573 or $(0.12) per share for the nine-months December 31, 2007. Despite the sale of our operating business in October 2008, there was an increase in operating loss that was primarily due to an increase in selling, general and administrative costs to $403,830 in the 2008 period as compared to $255,581 in the 2007 period as well as the payment in the 2008 period of $70,000 in stock based compensation with no such payment in the 2007 period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the nine-months ended December 31, 2008, net cash used to fund operating activities aggregated $(106,500), there was no net cash utilized by investing activities aggregated and net cash provided by financing activities aggregated $106,500. By way of comparison, for the nine-months ended December 31, 2007, net cash used to fund operating activities aggregated $(569,911), net cash utilized by investing activities aggregated $(27,161) and net cash provided by financing activities aggregated $817,622.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, income taxes and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Income Tax Uncertainties” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority. Recently issued literature also provides guidance on the derecognition, measurement and classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and penalties. FIN 48 also includes guidance concerning accounting for income tax uncertainties in interim periods and increases the level of disclosures associated with any recorded income tax uncertainties. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We expect to adopt the provisions of FIN 48 beginning in the first quarter of 2007. We are currently in the process of determining the impact, if any, of adopting the provisions of FIN 48 on its financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under other accounting pronouncements that permit or require fair value measurements, changes the methods used to measure fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In particular, disclosures are required to provide information on the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities; the inputs used to develop measurements; and the effect of certain of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net assets).

SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, is also permitted, provided interim financial statements have not yet been issued. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB No. 108”). SAB No. 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in the current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires registrants to quantify misstatements using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB No. 108 does not change the guidance in SAB No. 99, “Materiality,” when evaluating the materiality of misstatements. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. Upon initial application, SAB No. 108 permits a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings. We adopted SAB No. 108 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. Adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 allows entities to measure at fair value many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We have not determined what impact, if any, that adoption will have on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.

Not applicable

Item 4/4T. – Controls and Procedures

(a)	Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covering this Form 10-Q, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures”. We conducted this evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

(i) Definition of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. As defined by the SEC, such disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in such a manner as to allow timely disclosure decisions.

(ii) Conclusions with Respect to Our Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, these controls and procedures are adequate and effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material information relating to us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
