NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 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 three months ended June 30, 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. 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 has an Accumulated deficit of $8,805,979 and a negative working capital of $1,525,556 . Management’s plans include the raising of capital through the equity markets to fund future operations and the generating of revenue through its business. Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate sales revenues could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations. Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses and generate adequate revenues, there can be no assurances that the revenue will be sufficient to enable it to develop business to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations. 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 – OVERDRAFT FACILITY

The Company has an additional facility arrangement with ABSA, a South African Bank for R 8,000,000 (U.S. $1,250,000). The loan is secured by the assets of the South African Winery and bears interest at the South African prime rate 12.5% per annum. The balance at June 30, 2008 is $958,787.

NOTE D - DEBT RESTRUCTURING

On January 11, 2008, Atlantic Wine Agencies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with Sapphire Developments Limited (“Sapphire”) and Fairhurst Properties S.A. (“Fairhurst”) to restructure certain debt held by Sapphire (the “Debt Restructuring Agreement”). The Debt Restructuring Agreement was executed to address a November 16, 2005 loan to the Company by Sapphire of One Million Two Hundred Fifty-Nine Thousand Eight Hundred Sixty-Three U.S. Dollars (US $1,259,863). Sapphire agreed to terminate the Promissory Note and restructure its debt in exchange for the following consideration articulated in the Debt Restructuring Agreement:

The Company agreed to pay Three Million Two Hundred Thousand South African Rand (R $3,200,000) to Sapphire, an amount approximately equal to Four Hundred Sixty-Eight Thousand and Ninety Two U.S. Dollars (US $468,092), in two installments. The first installment of One Million Two Hundred Thousand South African Rand (R1,200,000) was paid by the Company on January 11, 2008. The second installment of Two Million South African Rand (R$2,000,000) will be paid on or before January 31, 2008.

·	The Company issued 26,699,950 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) to Sapphire in exchange for relief from $533,999 of the debt underlying the Promissory Note.

·	The Company, Sapphire, and Fairhurst entered into a voting agreement concurrent with the Debt Restructuring Agreement (“Voting Agreement”).

·	The Company issued a promissory note to Fairhurst for approximately $400,000 without interest to mature on January 11, 2009.

·	Each of Sapphire and Fairhurst executed mutual releases.

·	Fairhurst will ensure that Adam Mauerberger remain as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company until such time that a material merger or share exchange occurs (“Atlantic Corporate Event”).

·	19,960,000 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by Fairhurst (“Fairhurst Shares”) shall be transferred to Sapphire upon the earlier of the six-month anniversary date of the Debt Restructuring Agreement or the completion of an Atlantic Corporate Event.

NOTE E - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

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

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our net sales in the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 were $72,206 representing a $26,186 increase from our net sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007. Despite an increase in our net sales, we experienced an increase in our net operating loss of $80,481 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 ($244,291) as compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 ($163,810). This increase in our net operating loss is primarily attributable to an increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses to $266,950 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 from $157,328 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, net cash used to fund operating activities aggregated $403,181 as compared to $224,202 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. This increase is attributable to an increase in net loss to $294,690 from $165,822, a decrease in accounts receivable to ($109,581) from $2,001, an increase in the loss on a sale of assets to $33,119 from $0 and a decrease in inventory to ($43,332) from $3,761 over the same periods.

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, net cash utilized by investing activities aggregated $501,863 as compared to ($36,190) for the three months ended June 30, 2007. This increase is primarily due to the disposal of certain property and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased in the three months ended June 30, 2008 to ($376,186) from $274,491 for the three months ended June 20, 2007. This decrease is primarily attributable to a loan from Sapphire Development Limited of $494,200 on January 11, 2008.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of its 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) Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls.

We recognize that a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as well as a system of internal controls), no matter how well conceived and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of such a system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented in a number of ways. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, system failures may occur and not be detected.

(iii) 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.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On May 14, 2008, the Company entered into a conversion agreement with Fairhust Properties S.A. ("Fairhurst") to convert $50,000 of principal on a promissory note issued by the Company to Fairhurst on January 11, 2008 with a face amount of $400,000 (the "Promissory Note") into 5,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Conversion Agreement"). Subsequent to the Conversion Agreement, the Company amended the Promissory Note so that the face amount was reduced to $350,000. On August 14, 2008, pursuant to the Conversion Agreement, the Company issued 200,000 shares to Fairhurst, which is equal to the 5,000,000 shares it was owed before the reverse split became effective on May 19, 2008.

Fairhurst is non-US person, and the shares were issued relying on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 provided by Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
