NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2008
(Unaudited)


NOTE A -  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying 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 six months ended September 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., 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 has an accumulated deficit of $8,521,903 as at September 30, 2008. On September 22, 2008, the Company spun out its two wholly owned subsidiaries located in South Africa, Mount Rosier Properties (Pty) Ltd. and Mount Rosier Estate (Pty) Ltd. Management currently plans to seek a merger candidate, and 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 - STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY (DEFICIT) 

On April 17, 2008, the Company issued 200,000 shares to Sapphire Development, Ltd. for consulting in connection with a proposed 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 - 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 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

·  
The Company to issue 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 to enter into a voting agreement concurrent with the Debt Restructuring Agreement (“Voting Agreement”);

NOTE F - SPIN-OFF AGREEMENT

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

  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Although our revenues from the three-month period ending September 30, 2008 decreased to $44,499 from $68,393 for the three-month period ending September 30, 2007, our revenues from the six-month period ending September 30, 2008 increased to $116,705 from $114,413 for the six-month period ending September 30, 2007.  As a result of the spin-off of our two wholly owned subsidiaries that operated our business, we do not anticipate that we will have revenues in the foreseeable future unless we merge with or acquire a business with an operating business that has revenues.

Operating costs for the three-months ended September 30, 2008 aggregated $230,788 or $(0.04) per share as compared to $154,855 or $(0.02) per share for the three-months ended September 30, 2007.  This increase is primarily due to the payment in the 2008 period of $70,000 in stock based compensation with no such payment in the 2007 period.  Operating costs for the six-months ended September 30, 2008 aggregated $430,580 or $(0.09) per share as compared to $250,272 or $(0.04) per share for the six-months September 30, 2007.  This increase is 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 difference in stock based compensation previously mentioned.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
For the six-months ended September 30, 2008, net cash used to fund operating activities aggregated $(87,500), there was no net cash utilized by investing activities aggregated and net cash provided by financing activities aggregated $87,500.  By way of comparison, for the six-months ended September 30, 2008,  net cash used to fund operating activities aggregated $(356,266), net cash utilized by investing activities aggregated $73,646 and net cash provided by financing activities aggregated $446,795.

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.

2
 
(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.
