ITEM 1. Description of Business.

History of Company:

As of March 9, 2005, the shareholders of Drinks, a privately-held Delaware
corporation , acquired control of Gourmet Group, which had become a Delaware
corporation and changed its name to Drinks Americas Holdings, Ltd.. Prior to
entering into this share exchange, as Gourmet Group, Inc. we were a company
pursuing the acquisition or other combinations of various operating businesses
since our sale of Jardine Foods, our previous operating entity, in May 2002. On
June 9, 2004 we executed a definitive agreement for share exchange with the
Drinks' shareholders who would acquire approximately 87% of our outstanding
common stock in exchange for our acquiring all of Drinks' outstanding common
shares and the Drinks' business.

Based in Wilton, Connecticut, Drinks was founded in 2002 by an experienced team
of beverage, entertainment, retail and consumer product industry professionals,
led by J. Patrick Kenny, a former executive at Joseph E. Seagram & Sons. Drinks
specializes in the marketing and distribution of unique, premium alcoholic and
nonalcoholic beverages associated with icon entertainers, sports figures,
celebrities, and destinations.

Arising out of the transaction described above, on June 21, 2004, Gourmet Group
initiated a private placement, to accredited investors only, of 10% convertible
notes and raised a total of $962,500 through October 6, 2004. We lent this
amount to Drinks as we received it for working capital purposes.

As of March 9, 2005, we issued an aggregate of approximately 42,963,792 shares
of our common stock (or approximately 87.28% of the outstanding on a
fully-diluted basis) to the Drinks' shareholders, an additional 1,800,000 total
shares of our common stock (or approximately 3.66%) to Messrs. Stanley Altchuler
and Richard Cooper (advisors to Drinks) and a total of 400,000 shares of our
common stock (or approximately .8%) to the four members of Maxmillian Mixers,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company affiliated with Drinks. ("Mixers").
Immediately prior to issuing such shares, the Company (which had previously been
a Nevada corporation), by way of merger into a newly formed Delaware
corporation, became a Delaware corporation, changed its name to Drinks Americas
Holdings, Ltd., effectively reverse split its outstanding shares one-for-ten,
and authorized up to 1,000,000 shares of "blank check" preferred stock in its
new certificate of incorporation. In return for such issuances of shares, the
Company received all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Drinks and
all of the membership interests in Mixers. Thus, Drinks and Mixers became our
wholly-owned subsidiaries and the business of those subsidiaries constitutes our
only operations. Prior to the share exchange transaction described above,
Maxmillian Partners, LLC ("Maxmillian") owned approximately 99% of the
outstanding capital stock of Drinks and immediately after the share exchange
became our majority shareholder. Subsequently Maxmillian distributed its shares
pro rata to its 21 members as part of its plan of liquidation. For financial
accounting purposes this share exchange has been recognized as a reverse merger,
and accordingly we changed our fiscal year end from June 30 to Drinks' year end
of April 30th, and all of our historical financial statements prior to the share
exchange are those of Drinks.

<PAGE>

Overview

      Drinks Americas was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on
September 24, 2002 to manufacture, market and distribute products in the
non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverage business.. Over the past 12 months Drinks
has acquired and developed additional brands and distributed existing products,
and increased marketing support for these brands. Drinks' production capacity is
primarily through third party independent contract packers known as
"co-packers".

      Drinks develops, produces (primarily through co-packers), markets and/or
distributes alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for sale in the continental
United States. While in certain cases we own the trademarks or have developed
the formula for a product that we distribute, in other cases we only have the
right to distribute the products and have been granted licenses of the trademark
to allow us to do so. We refer to all of the products we distribute as "our
products" throughout this Report.

      Our strategy is to take advantage of Icon celebrity brands and the
strategic relationships our management team has established throughout their
careers. We distribute our products through established distributors, all of
which are already well known to our management team from prior business dealings
with them in the beverage industry. We have expanded the number of distributors
we do business with in certain markets where we believe it is appropriate. Our
distributors buy our products from us for resale. Our products are produced by
independent co-packers pursuant to our specifications. Our management's
relationships with manufacturers, distillers, development/research companies,
bottling concerns and retail customers provide the foundation through which we
expect to grow our business in the future.

      We have assembled, and will attempt to continue to assemble, our premium
brands, on a "low cost" basis. We believe acquisition of mid-sized brands and
single trademark companies can be accomplished at extremely efficient "price
multiples" in relation to their existing volume. We are willing to develop these
brands with their original owners on a cooperative economic basis and share with
them marketing, production, distribution contacts and the sophistication of our
management team. We believe that the "skill-set" of our management team is a
primary asset in the development of our acquired brands and trademarks. We have
acquired ownership interests from, or entered into ventures with, partners such
as entertainer Willie Nelson, Chef Roy Yamaguchi, food giant Rauch
(Austria),Wynn Starr Flavors (U.S.), Fabrica Nacional de Licores (Costa Rica,
Central America), Interamericana de Licores S.A. (Panama - Rum) Advantage
Marketing (U.S. institutional food and beverage sales) and Newman's Own, Paul
Newman's Beverages (U.S.), DAS Communications, Marvin Traub Associates, Xanadu
Normans Australian Wines, and Cohete Rum S.A.
<PAGE>

      In March 2005 we formed Drinks Global Imports, LLC, a new subsidiary in
which we own 90% of the outstanding member units. Starting in fiscal 2006 this
company will import super premium wines from around the world, which presently
include France, Italy Australia and New Zealand.

      Subsequent to our year end we have entered into a U.S. distribution
contract giving us the exclusive sales and marketing rights to Damiana a
Hispanic Liqueor for the United States market. We have also entered into a
letter of intent with Rheingold Brewery to secure the. licensing and
distribution rights to Rheingold Beer in the United States.

      Several of the brands that we have acquired have the strategic advantage
of association with "icon" entertainers and locations which provide us efficient
promotion and marketing opportunities. Moreover, our focus on premium high
margin, unique and also Hispanic and Urban brands aligns our product portfolio
with the growing demographic trends of consumers who purchase premium priced
goods and an expanding Hispanic and Urban consumer market.

      We believe that our organizational approach will also minimize the need to
invest heavily in fixed assets or factories and overhead because of the historic
relationship between members of our management team and co-packers, distilling
and bottling and production firms and other industry participants.

      We rely on distributors who handle direct store delivery sales which
minimize our overhead. We have formed an independent network of contract sales
and regional managers, a promotional support team and several market segment
specialists who are paid on a variable basis.

      We currently market and distribute, or produce (through co-packers),
market and distribute, nine unique beverage brands.

Alcoholic Beverages:

o     Old Whiskey River Bourbon (R) an award winning small batch 6 year old
      bourbon (sometimes referred to in this Report as "Old Whiskey River ");

<PAGE>

o     Old Whiskey River Bourbon Cream, an award winning blend of real dairy
      cream and bourbon (sometimes referred to in this Report as "Old Whiskey
      River Cream");

o     Cohete Rum, an award winning smooth sipping rum in the Cuban style,
      infused with Guarana (sometimes referred to in this Report as "Cohete");

o     Aguila Tequila, a 100% tequiliana weber blue agave reposado tequila
      (sometimes referred to in this Report as "Aguila");

o     Normans Wines, one of the oldest and most respected family names in
      Australian winemaking with a reputation for premium award winning wines
      (sometimes referred to in this Report as "Normans"); and

o     Damiana, a Mexican Liqueur made from the Damiana root and given in Mexican
      culture as a wedding gift because of its perceived aphrodisiac
      characteristics. This product is sold exclusively in the United States.

o     Y Sake, the first Ultra Premium Sake made in America (sometimes referred
      to in this Report as "Y Sake").

Non Alcoholic Beverages:

o     Swiss T, a ready to drink tea imported from Europe (sometimes referred to
      in this Report as "Swiss T"); and

o     Newman's Own Lightly Sparkling Fruit Juices, an all natural juice product
      (sometimes referred to in this Report as "Newman's").

Strategy

      Our business strategy is to increase sales by expanding distribution of
our internally developed brands, as well as those for which we hold distribution
rights, in new and existing markets, stimulating consumer trial of new products
and increasing consumer awareness of, and brand loyalty to, our unique brands
and products. We will also attempt to make efficient acquisitions of stand alone
brands or distribution rights to existing brands in both the alcoholic and
non-alcoholic beverage segment as a route to growing revenue. Key elements of
our business strategy include:

o     creating strong distributor relationships and key accounts;

o     stimulating strong consumer demand for our existing brands and products
      with primary emphasis in the United States, Mexico, Central America and
      Canada;

<PAGE>

o     developing unique beverage brands and products; and

o     targeting strategic brand acquisitions and icon product development
      opportunities.

      We expect to continue to grow our business with the support of an
established distribution network, which is already well-known to our management
from prior business dealings in the beverage industry. This network is currently
distributing our products nationally.

Alcoholic Beverage Distribution

      We have a network of alcohol beverage distributors covering substantially
all states within the United States. Our distributors buy our products from us
for resale. Southern Wine & Spirits, including its affiliates, is our largest
alcohol distributor, accounting for approximately 18 % of our sales in fiscal
2005 Glazer's Distributing, including its affiliates, is our second largest
alcohol distributor.

Non-Alcohol Beverage Distribution

      The following are all of our non-alcoholic beverage distributors:

Southern Wines and Spirits:                   Florida
March Health:                               New York City
AJ Lind:                                    New York State
Valley Juice South:                         New York State
Valley Juice North:                         New York State
Fontanella Distributors:                     Connecticut
Island Beverage:                             New Jersey
Atlanta Foods International:                  Georgia

      We have organized a network of sales and contract sales employees who are
industry veterans and assigned national coverage of our distribution network to
this management team. An advantage that we believe we have is that the
remuneration to these individuals is on a variable success basis. We believe
that we also benefit from the sales and marketing relationships that this team
brings to the organization.

      Our Company is a Delaware corporation, and our principal place of business
is located at 372 Danbury Road, Suite 163, Wilton, Connecticut 06897 and our
telephone number is (203) 762-7000.

Wine and Spirits Industry Overview

      The United States beverage alcohol market consists of three distinct
segments: beer, wine and distilled spirits. The distilled spirits segment of
this market increased consumption to more than 159 million 9-liter cases in
2003. Distilled spirits consist of three primary categories: white goods,
whiskey and specialties. White goods, consisting of vodka, rum gin and tequila,
represent the largest category, accounting for approximately 50% of industry
sales in 2001. Vodka is the largest category within the distilled spirits
industry, accounting for 26% of US distilled spirits sales in 2003. U.S.
distilled spirits sales increased 3.8% in 2003, marking the 6th consecutive year
sales have increased in the United States.

      Historically, growth in the U.S. spirits industry has been driven by
favorable demographic trends as the number of new young adults of legal drinking
age (21 to 24) increased from 14.4 million in 1995 to 14.9 million in 2001. In
addition, growth in the distilled spirits industry has increased as the number
of individuals over 55 increased, as this age group has historically shifted
from beer to spirits. The number of Americans aged 55 and older increased from
54.7 million in 1995 to 59.6 million in 2001 and is expected to reach 75.1
million by 2010.

      Significant consolidation in the global spirits industry has produced five
primary large competitors: Diageo, Allied Domecq, Pernod Ricard, Brown-Forman
and Bacardi. It is sometimes costly and difficult for these large companies to
create new brands. As a result, we believe opportunities exist for smaller
companies to develop high-quality, high-margin brands, which can grow to be very
attractive acquisition candidates for the larger companies.

Whiskey

      Whiskey is an aged spirit generally distilled from barley, corn or rye.
The whiskey category consists of four major segments: Scotch, Irish, American
and Canadian and can be further broken down into blended and single malt
subcategories. Whiskey is the second largest U.S. spirits category accounting
for approximately 28% of distilled spirits sales in 2003, with 44 million cases
sold.

Rum

      Rum is a distilled spirit made from sugar cane or molasses that can be
bottled raw or aged in casks. Rum can be broken into several categories: light,
dark, flavored and aged. Rum has posted gains for six consecutive years in the
U.S. through 2003, and the category now accounts for approximately 12% of total
U.S. spirits sales. Rum case sales grew at a compound annual growth rate of 5.3%
between 1995 and 2001. Two brands, Bacardi and Captain Morgan, account for
approximately 76% of total rum sales, with the balance split among a number of
other rum brands. We believe that the rum category represents the most
significant growth opportunity in the industry and that the growth of the
Hispanic consumer demographic will support and reinforce this trend.

<PAGE>

The New Age or Alternative Beverage Industry

      Our brands, which are classified as Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic Ready to
Drink beverages, as well as other unique brands and products that we may develop
in the future, compete with beverage products of all types, including wines,
spirits, liqueurs, soft drinks, beer, fruit juices and drinks.

      In its annual beverage market survey for calendar year 2003, Beverage
World magazine (www.beverageworld.com ) estimated that the New Age or
alternative beverage markets was approximately $11.6 billion in the United
States in total sales and expanding at a double digit rate per year in growth.

      New Age or alternative beverages are distinguishable from mainstream
carbonated soft drinks in that they tend to contain less sugar, less
carbonation, and natural ingredients. As a general rule, three criteria have
been established for such a classification: (1) relatively new introduction to
the market-place; (2) a perception by consumers that consumption is healthful
compared to mainstream carbonated soft drinks; and (3) the use of natural
ingredients and flavors in the products. According to Beverage Marketing
Corporation (www.beverageworld.com), for 2003, the New Age or alternative
beverage category consists of the following segments:

Energy drinks

o     Premium soda

o     Ready-to-drink (RTD) coffee

o     RTD tea

o     RTD (nutrient-enhanced)

o     Shelf-stable dairy (regular/diet)

o     Shelf-stable dairy (nutrient-enhanced)

o     Single-serve-fruit beverages (regular/diet)

o     Single-serve-fruit beverages (nutrient enhanced)

o     Smoothies

o     Sparkling water

o     Sports drinks

o     Vegetable/fruit juice blends

o     Other New Age beverages

<PAGE>

ACQUISTIONS AND ALLIANCES

      Described below are acquisitions, strategic alliances and other
arrangements which we have completed.

Celebrity and Icon based Brands

      We are executing a "celebrity and icon" based brand strategy, which we
believe will command a strong consumer acceptance, lower ongoing marketing costs
and strengthen the Company's access to its distribution channel. We have entered
into four ventures with icon entertainers and two ventures with well-known icon
destinations. Our business model leverages the consumer identification with
these icons, focusing on high margin premium products. Our business model also
focuses through several portfolio items on a growing Hispanic consumer base. We
are discussing relationships with three additional icon media figures with
respect to brand development joint ventures.

Alcoholic Beverage Products

      The alcoholic products distributed by the Company are Old Whiskey River
Bourbon and Bourbon Cream, Y Sake, Aguila Tequila, Cohete Rum Guarana, Damiana,
Xanadu/Normans wines, and a collection of fine super premium wines.

      In December 2002, we purchased 25% interests in Old Whiskey River
Distilling Company, LLC and Y Sake, LLC, which owns or licenses the related
trademarks and trade names associated with the Old Whiskey River and Y Sake
products. We hold the exclusive worldwide distribution rights for each of the
Old Whiskey River and Y Sake products. Old Whiskey River Bourbon is marketed in
association with Willie Nelson, a renowned country western entertainer, and Y
Sake in association with Roy Yamaguchi, a renowned Japanese chef.

      In December 2003, we expanded the Old Whiskey River line and introduced
Old Whiskey River Bourbon Cream. Old Whiskey River Bourbon has been featured on
Food Channel's Emeril Live as well as Celebrity Food Finds and other television
programs. This line of products is available nationally at the Texas Roadhouse
Restaurant chain as well as other outlets with specific Willie Nelson
promotions. Similarly Y Sake has benefited from the celebrity of Chef Roy
Yamaguchi, who has been featured on Food Network and also is associated with a
chain of more than 30 Roy's Restaurants now owned by Outback Steakhouse where
the product is served.

      We own a 55% interest in the trademark for Aguila Tequila, a premium 100%
Blue Agave Tequila, produced by a distillery in Mexico, which is marketed with
its icon label, the North American Eagle. We have the exclusive distribution
rights for this product throughout the world except for Mexico.

<PAGE>

      We have developed and own the trademark and formula for Cohete Rum, a
Cuban style rum produced in Panama. We launched this product in September, 2004.
Cohete Rum has been awarded silver medals from the International Beverage
Tasting Institute. We also have the exclusive right to distribute Normans Wines
in the continental United States. Normans Wines are produced by the Normans
Winery which is the oldest winery in Australia, established in 1853. Normans has
recently been restructured as Drinks and Normans are currently revising their
contractual relationship with an updated contract.

      The Company plans to expand the Old Whiskey River brand beyond Willie
Nelson promotions to a broader marketing position using country music and high
stakes poker sponsorships to reinforce the brand image of the product already in
place. These plans have been developed with the Company's key marketing agency
along with Shep Gordon, a shareholder of and consultant to the Company, and we
expect to commence this marketing campaign in fiscal 2006.

Non Alcoholic Products

      Our non-alcoholic product offerings are a Swiss Gourmet Tea, known as
Swiss T and also Newman's Own Lightly Sparkling Fruit Juices. We own the Swiss T
trademark and are the exclusive worldwide distributor of this product. Swiss T
is imported and produced for us under a production agreement which we have with
Rauch GMBH, one of the largest juice production companies in Europe. Swiss T is
marketed as a premium product sold in up-scale food stores including the Whole
Foods chain, gourmet delicatessens and specialty shops. In the summer of 2005
Rauch has prepared a diet version of Swiss T to be launched in certain markets
on the eastern seaboard of the United States with a focus in Metro New York.

      Newman's Own Lightly Sparkling Fruit Juices is a new product and was
developed by Paul Newman Foods in association with us. We have entered into an
agreement to license Newman's Own name for distribution of this product in
specified markets and have no ownership or other rights to the Newman's Own
trademark.

      We have the rights to market and distribute this product in certain
designated markets and had a November 2004 New York City test launch for this
new product. We have also begun distribution of the product in Florida. Sales
have proceeded in the Metro New York, New Jersey and Ct. market and met or
exceeded company business plan goals. Key grocery chains in Metro New York
including Key Food, ShopRite, Gristedes, Shaws and numerous independent chains
are selling the product. Newman's has been successful in the independent and
Korean owned retail market segment. Newman's come in 16oz. glass bottles in
original lemonade, lemon lime, orange mango, blackberry and raspberry kiwi
flavors. Based upon on the market's reaction to this product, we expect to
distribute this product throughout the United States. Expansion of the
territories for distribution of this product is by mutual agreement of the
parties.

<PAGE>

      We entered into an agreement to distribute Cafe Mio, the first imported
shelf stable iced coffee in the United States. A US FDA compliance label has
been designed and products have been developed. We expect to commence importing
and distributing this product in fiscal 2006.

      The duration of our distribution contracts with respect to both alcoholic
and non alcoholic beverages vary. However, since all of our distribution
agreements have sales volume targets which we have not satisfied, we view all of
these agreements to be cancelable at any time. We rely on our relationships with
those who have granted us distribution rights rather than contractual
protections.

Flavors, Research and Development Relationship

      We have a research contract with Wynn Starr Flavors, Inc. ("Wynn Starr"),
a leading supplier of flavors and similar product components. Wynn Starr became
a Drinks shareholder by investing $250,000 in Drinks in 2002, and has provided
research/development services. The relationship has been essential to us, and
will continue to be useful in providing a significant research resource at
relatively low cost, e.g. developing drinks for specialized ethnic tastes, age
groups, various groups of sports or music fans, and other targeted markets. Wynn
Starr (with offices/plants in New Jersey and Kentucky) is a significant research
and development resource for us that we hope will cut the time to market for new
products, soft drinks, spirits and mixers. We expect that several of our
products will utilize patents developed and licensed by Wynn Starr. Wynn Starr
has developed our Bloody Mary Mix, which is an inactive product, and our
Margarita Mix, which we are selling and using for promotions in limited
quantities. Wynn Starr has also developed our Old Whiskey River Bourbon Cream
product flavors and formulation. Wynn Star has also assisted us in evaluating
the product quality of various brands which we have considered acquiring and/or
distributing. Our incremental product development expenses for fiscal 2005 and
2004 has not been material.

Celebrity Marketing Resources

      We intend to continue to utilize our access to celebrity-based product
endorsers, through our management's contacts and various advisors, to further
promote the branded identity of certain of the beverages we will develop.

<PAGE>

      We have entered into marketing agreements with DAS Communications, Ltd.
and Shep Gordon of Alive Enterprises. Both David Sonenberg, who controls DAS
Communications, Ltd., and Shep Gordon are our shareholders. We believe that
these persons can provide access to entertainment personalities in order for us
to develop and access unique marketing and promotional brand support in spirits
and beverages. The relationship with Shep Gordon has resulted in agreements with
country music "icon" Willie Nelson and Chef Roy Yamaguchi and introductions to
promotional resources. Our agreement with Mr. Gordon, which we entered into in
December 2002, provides us with various marketing advisory services through June
2008.

Trademark Development Resources

      In March 2002, we entered into a consulting agreement with Marvin Traub,
former CEO of the Bloomingdale's department store chain, and an expert in
trademark development. Mr. Traub provides ongoing input and marketing expertise
to us pursuant to such consulting agreement. He also serves on our Board of
Directors.

Marketing, Sales and Distribution

      Our pricing policies take into consideration competitors' prices and our
perception of what a consumer is willing to pay for the particular brand and
product when presented in the retail environment. Our goal is to competitively
price our unique products with the other comparable brands. We believe our Icon
strategy supports category premium pricing.

      We primarily use in-store promotional activity supported by point-of-sale
materials such as banners, posters, stickers, table cards, shelf danglers, post
cards, T-shirts and bar kits to create and increase consumer awareness of our
proprietary products and brands. For our key brands we support bar night
promotions utilizing give-aways and drink promotions.

The company has entered into an agreement with Gotham Inc., a large scale New
York marketing agency Together with our management, Gotham is currently
developing a long term marketing and media brand development plan for us.

      Our marketing of our non-alcoholic brands focuses on building those brands
at the retail level and generally developing market profile through promotion
tasting at our retail points of distribution. Our Newman's Own has been promoted
with consumer tastings throughout the metro New York market. Our marketing
efforts in support of our non-alcoholic brands focuses largely on driving
promotion at key distribution points prior to the peak summer demand period.

<PAGE>

Sales

      Our products are sold in the continental United States primarily in the
beverage sections of liquor stores, grocery stores, drug stores, convenience
stores, delicatessens, sandwich shops and supermarkets. Our beverage products
are sold nationally and our distribution model, depending on the product,
includes several national and regional chains, including Texas Roadhouse
Restaurants, Whole Foods and various regional retail accounts.

      Currently our sales force is organized regionally with four independent
contract sales managers, each representing a region and reporting to the
President of the Company. We also employs market managers in the Southwest,
Florida and metro New York markets. Among the Company's consultants or employees
are an urban market promotion sales specialist, one alcoholic distribution
channel specialist, a control state administrator and a Metro New York Newman's
Own manager with four sales representatives reporting to that manager. The
Company also has a vertically integrated promotional group.

Distribution

      We sell the majority of our products through our distribution network, and
we currently have relationships with approximately 60 independent distributors
throughout North America. Our policy is to grant our distributors rights to sell
particular brands within a defined territory. Our distributors buy our products
from us for resale. We believe that substantially all of our distributors also
carry other beverage products. Agreements with our distributors vary; we have
entered into written agreements with a number of our top distributors for
varying terms of years; most of our other distribution relationships are oral
(based solely on purchase orders) and are terminable by either party at will.

      We generally require our independent distributors to place their purchase
orders for our products at least 10 days in advance of shipping. To the extent
we have additional product available in inventory, we will fulfill other
purchase orders when and as received. We and our distributors contract with
independent trucking companies to have product shipped from our contract packers
to independent warehouses, and then on to our distributors. Distributors then
sell and deliver our products either to sub-distributors or directly to retail
outlets, and such distributors or sub-distributors stock the retailers' shelves
with our products. We recognize revenue upon receipt by our distributors and
customers of our products, net of anticipated discounts and allowances. While
all sales are final and we have a "no return" policy, in limited instances, due
to credit issues or distributor changes, we may take back product.

Production

Contract Packing Arrangements

      We currently use independent contract packers known as "co-packers" to
prepare, bottle and package our products. Currently, our primary contract
packers are Heaven Hill Distilleries in Kentucky, American Beverage Company in
St. Louis, Interamericana de Licores in Panama, Sake One in Oregon and Tequila
El Viejito S. A. in Guadalajara, Mexico. The addition of Damiana and Rheingold
will add Damiana S.A. and F.X. Matt, respectively.

<PAGE>

      We continually review our contract packing needs in light of regulatory
compliance and logistical requirements and may add or change co-packers based on
those needs.

      As is customary in the contract packing industry, we are expected to
arrange for our contract packing needs sufficiently in advance of anticipated
requirements. Accordingly, it is our business practice to require our
independent distributors to place their purchase orders for our products at
least 10 days in advance of shipping. Other than minimum case volume
requirements per production run, we do not have any minimum production
requirements.

Raw Materials

      Substantially all of the raw materials used in the preparation, bottling
and packaging of our products are purchased by us or by our contract packers in
accordance with our specifications. The raw materials used in the preparation
and packaging of our products consist primarily of spirits, flavorings,
concentrate, glass, labels, caps and packaging. These raw materials are
purchased from suppliers selected by us or in concert with our co-packers or by
the respective supplier companies.

      We believe that we have adequate sources of raw materials, which are
available from multiple suppliers across the full range of our products.

Quality Control

      We attempt to use quality ingredients for our products. We seek to ensure
that all of our products satisfy our quality standards. Contract packers are
selected and monitored by our production manager in an effort to assure
adherence to our production procedures and quality standards. Samples of our
products from each production run undertaken by each of our contract packers are
analyzed and categorized in a reference library.

      For every run of product, our contract packer undertakes extensive on-line
testing of product quality and packaging. With our non-alcoholic products this
includes testing levels of sweetness, carbonation, taste, product integrity,
packaging and various regulatory cross checks. Similar product testing is done
on our wines and spirits. For each product, the contract packer must transmit
all quality control test results to us upon request. We believe that, working in
concert with our internal management, the food scientist resources of Advantage
Food Marketing and Wynn Starr Flavors, and the in-house quality control
mechanisms of our winery and distillery partners assure that our standards meet
or exceed those established in the industry.

<PAGE>

      Testing includes microbiological checks and other tests to ensure the
production facilities for our products meet the standards and specifications of
our quality assurance program. We believe the production facilities inspection
programs meet or exceed industry standards. We request that water quality is
monitored during production and at scheduled testing times to ensure compliance
with applicable government regulatory requirements. Flavors are sourced from
only qualified manufacturers. We are committed to an on-going program of product
improvement with a view toward ensuring the high quality of our products.

      We believe we source and select only those suppliers that use only quality
components. We also inspect packaging suppliers' production facilities and
monitor their product quality.

Regulation

      The production and marketing of our licensed and proprietary alcoholic and
non alcoholic beverages are subject to the rules and regulations of various
Federal, provincial, state and local health agencies, including in particular
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and the U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco
Tax and Trade Bureau ("TTB"). The FDA and TTB also regulate labeling of our
products. From time to time, we may receive notifications of various technical
labeling or ingredient reviews with respect to our licensed products. We believe
that we have a compliance program in place to ensure compliance with production,
marketing and labeling regulations on a going-forward basis. There are no
regulatory notifications or actions currently outstanding.

      We have a specific manager with singular and direct responsibility to
insure regulatory compliance and have on retainer a regulatory law firm that
oversees our submissions to various agencies.

Trademarks, Flavor Concentrate Trade Secrets and Patents

      We own a number of trademarks, including, in the United States, "Cohete"
(TM), "Swiss T"(TM), " "Screaming Monkey" (TM) and "Aguila" (TM) . Trademarks
have been filed and pending with no opposition for Drinks Americas, "Monte
Verde"(TM) and "Corcovado"(TM). In addition, we have trademark protection in the
United States for a number of other trademarks for slogans and product designs,
including "The Rooster Has Landed" (R) and "Party Harder"(TM).

      We also own with Alive Spirits the rights to the "Old Whiskey River"
trademark. We have a license from Newman's Own to use the Newman's Own trademark
in the marketing and selling of Newman's Own Lightly Sparkling Fruit Juices.

      We consider our trademarks, patent and trade secrets to be of considerable
value and importance to our business. No successful challenges to our registered
trademarks have arisen and we have no reason to believe that any such challenges
will arise in the future.

<PAGE>

Employees

      As of April 30, 2005, we had nine full-time employees and an additional
eight persons, including our Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, who were
independent contractors working for us either in their individual capacity or
through professional service companies controlled by them. No employee is
represented by a labor union. Four of the independent contractors have executed
contracts with the Company and are paid on a variable success basis depending
upon sales generated by them.

Risk Factors

Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results

Factors Relating to Our Company and Our Business

      We are a developing Company and our prospects must be considered in light
of our short operating history and our shortage of working capital.

      We are a developing company with a very short operating history, having
been incorporated in September 2002. Our prospects must be considered in light
of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by developing
companies, including dealing with a shortage of necessary funds in the very
competitive marketplace in which the alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage
business is carried on, as well as the many risks commonly anticipated or
experienced by mature companies. Our ability to operate as a going concern and
to achieve profitable operations will be dependent on such factors as the
success of our business model and marketing strategy, market penetration of
existing products, competition, future brand additions, continued development of
distribution relationships and the availability of financing. No assurance can
be given that, we will be able successfully to develop our business under the
foregoing conditions.

      We rely heavily on our independent distributors, and this could affect our
ability to efficiently and profitably distribute and market our products, and
maintain our existing markets and expand our business into other geographic
markets.

      Our ability to establish a market for our unique brands and products in
new geographic distribution areas, as well as maintain and expand our existing
markets, is dependent on our ability to establish and maintain successful
relationships with reliable independent distributors strategically positioned to
serve those areas. Many of our larger distributors sell and distribute competing
products, including non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, and our products may
represent a small portion of their business. To the extent that our distributors
are distracted from selling our products or do not expend sufficient efforts in
managing and selling our products, our sales will be adversely affected. Our
ability to maintain our distribution network and attract additional distributors
will depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. Some
of these factors include:

<PAGE>

o     the level of demand for our brands and products in a particular
      distribution area,

o     our ability to price our products at levels competitive with those offered
      by competing products, and

o     our ability to deliver products in the quantity and at the time ordered by
      distributors.

      We cannot ensure that we will be able to meet all or any of these factors
in any of our current or prospective geographic areas of distribution. Our
inability to achieve any of these factors in a geographic distribution area will
have a material adverse effect on our relationships with our distributors in
that particular geographic area, thus limiting our ability to expand our market,
which will likely adversely effect our revenues and financial results.

      We generally do not have long-term agreements with our distributors, and
we expend significant time and incur significant expense in attracting and
maintaining key distributors.

      Our marketing and sales strategy presently, and in the future, will rely
on the performance of our independent distributors and our ability to attract
additional distributors. We have entered into written agreements with certain of
our distributors for varying terms and duration; however, most of our
distribution relationships are informal (based solely on purchase orders) and
are terminable by either party at will. We currently do not have, nor do we
anticipate in the future that we will be able to establish, long-term
contractual commitments from many of our distributors. In addition, despite the
terms of the written agreements with many of our significant distributors, we
have no assurance as to the level of performance under those agreements, or that
those agreements will not be terminated. There is also no assurance that we will
be able to maintain our current distribution relationships or establish and
maintain successful relationships with distributors in new geographic
distribution areas. Moreover, there is the additional possibility that we will
have to incur significant expenses to attract and maintain key distributors in
one or more of our geographic distribution areas in order to profitably exploit
our geographic markets. We may not have sufficient working capital to allow us
to do so.

      Because our distributors are not required to place minimum orders with us,
we need to carefully manage our inventory levels, and it is difficult to predict
the timing and amount of our sales.

<PAGE>

      Our independent distributors are not required to place minimum monthly,
quarterly or annual orders for our products. In order to reduce their inventory
costs, independent distributors maintain low levels of inventory which,
depending on the product and the distributor, range from 15 to 45 days of
typical sales volume in the distribution area. Our independent distributors
endeavor to order products from us in quantities, at such times, as will allow
them to satisfy the demand for our products in the distribution area.
Accordingly, there is no assurance as to the timing or quantity of purchases by
any of our independent distributors or that any of our distributors will
continue to purchase products from us in the same frequencies and volumes as
they may have done in the past. We endeavor to maintain inventory levels for
each of our products sufficient to satisfy anticipated purchase orders for our
products from our distributors which is difficult to estimate. Further, this
places burdens on our working capital which has been limited since we began
operations.

      As is customary in the contract packing industry for small companies, we
are expected to arrange for our contract packing needs sufficiently in advance
of anticipated requirements. To the extent demand for our products exceeds
available inventory and the capacities available under our contract packing
arrangements, or orders are not submitted on a timely basis, we will be unable
to fulfill distributor orders on a timely basis. Conversely, we may produce more
products than warranted by the actual demand, resulting in higher storage costs
and the potential risk of inventory spoilage. Our failure to accurately predict
and manage our contract packaging requirements may impair relationships with our
independent distributors, which, in turn, would likely have a material adverse
effect on our ability to maintain relationships with those distributors.

      The bankruptcy, cessation of operations, or decline in business of a
significant distributor could adversely affect our revenues, and could result in
increased costs in obtaining a replacement.

      If a material number of primary distributors were to stop selling our
products or decrease the number of cases purchased, our revenues and financial
results could be adversely affected. There can be no assurance that, in the
future, we will be successful in finding new or replacement distributors if any
of our existing significant distributors discontinue our brands, cease
operations, file for bankruptcy or terminate their relationship with us.

      We have not satisfied certain of our commitments under distribution
agreements which if cancelled would have a material adverse effect on our
business.

      With certain exceptions, our rights to distribute our products are
governed by distribution agreements which contain minimum sales per product
targets that we have not satisfied to date. Therefore virtually all of our
distribution contracts can be cancelled. We rely on our relationships with the
parties who have granted us distribution rights rather than contractual
protection. Cancellation of one or more of our distribution contracts would have
a mutual adverse effect on our business.

<PAGE>

      We need to effectively manage our growth and the execution of our business
plan. Any failure to do so would negatively impact our results.

      To manage operations effectively, we must improve our operational,
financial and other management processes and systems. We have a small staff and
our success also depends largely on our ability to maintain high levels of
employee utilization, to manage our costs in general and general and
administrative expense in particular, and otherwise to execute on our business
plan. We need to cost-efficiently add new brands and products, develop and
expand our distribution channels, and efficiently implement our business
strategies. There are no assurances that we will be able to effectively and
efficiently manage our growth. Any inability to do so, could increase our
expenses and negatively impact our results of operations.

      The loss of key personnel would directly affect our efficiency and
economic results.

      We are dependent upon the creative skills and leadership of our founder,
J. Patrick Kenny, who serves as our President and Chief Executive Officer, as
well as upon Bruce Klein (our Chairman) and upon the management, financial and
operational skills of Jason Lazo, our Chief Operating Officer. We currently
maintain key person life insurance on Mr. Kenny in the amount of $2,000,000. The
loss of the services of either Mr. Kenny, Mr. Klein or Mr. Lazo could have a
material adverse affect on our business and operations, including our ability to
develop and execute a long-term, profitable business plan.

      Our management team consists of several key distribution, sales and
financial personnel who have been recruited within the past several years. In
order to manage and operate our business successfully in the future, it will be
necessary to further strengthen our management team. The hiring of any
additional executives will increase our compensation expense.

      Our strategy requires us to develop and maintain relationships with other
firms.

      Our strategy depends on various relationships with other firms for product
development, research facilities, distilling facilities, bottling, distribution
and low-cost marketing. Because of these relationships, we do not expect to
invest heavily in fixed assets or factories. Of particular importance to us is
our relationship with independent producers who manufacture our products
pursuant to our specifications. We do not have our own production capacity and
rely on independent contractors to produce our products. We will need to
maintain and develop relationships with additional manufactures as we add
products to our product mix. It is vital to our success that our producers
deliver high quality products to us with favorable pricing terms. There can be
no assurance, however, that we will be able to develop and maintain
relationships which provide us the services and facilities we require. In such
case, we may be forced to change our strategy, which could have a material
adverse effect on the results of our operations.

<PAGE>

      Our business and financial results depend on maintaining a consistent and
cost-effective supply of raw materials.

      Raw materials for our products include concentrate, glass, labels, caps
and packaging materials. Currently, we purchase our flavor concentrate from two
flavor concentrate suppliers, and we anticipate that we will purchase flavor
concentrate from other flavor houses for future Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic
flavors and additional products, with the intention of developing other sources
of flavor concentrate for each of our products. We believe that we have adequate
sources of raw materials, which are available from multiple suppliers, and that
in general we maintain good supplier relationships. The price of our
concentrates is determined by our flavor houses and us, and may be subject to
change. Prices for the remaining raw materials are generally determined by the
market, and may change at any time. Increases in prices for any of these raw
materials could have a material adverse impact on our ability to achieve
profitability and our financial position. If we are unable to continue to find
adequate suppliers for our raw materials on economic terms acceptable to us,
this will adversely affect our results of operations.

      We may not be able to acquire and successfully integrate additional
products in the future.

      We have grown our business primarily through acquisitions of brands and we
expect to acquire additional brands in the future. There can be no assurance
that we will be able to acquire additional products or assimilate all of the
products we do acquire into our business or product mix. Acquisitions can be
accompanied by risks such as potential exposure to unknown liabilities relating
to the acquired product. We have entered into, and may continue to enter into,
joint ventures, which may also carry risks of liability to third parties.

      Our inability to protect our trademarks, patent and trade secrets may
prevent us from successfully marketing our products and competing effectively.

      Failure to protect our intellectual property could harm our brand and our
reputation, and adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. Further,
enforcing or defending our intellectual property rights, including our
trademarks, patents, copyrights and trade secrets, could result in the
expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. We regard our
intellectual property, particularly our trademarks and trade secrets to be of
considerable value and importance to our business and our success. We rely on a
combination of trademark, patent, and trade secrecy laws, confidentiality
procedures and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property
rights. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by us to protect these
proprietary rights will be adequate or that third parties will not infringe or
misappropriate our trademarks, trade secrets (including our flavor concentrate
trade secrets) or similar proprietary rights. In addition, there can be no
assurance that other parties will not assert infringement claims against us, and
we may have to pursue litigation against other parties to assert our rights. Any
such claim or litigation could be costly and we may lack the resources required
to defend against such claims. In addition, any event that would jeopardize our
proprietary rights or any claims of infringement by third parties could have a
material adverse affect on our ability to market or sell our brands, profitably
exploit our unique products or recoup our associated research and development
costs.

<PAGE>

      We have limited working capital and will need to raise additional capital
in the future.

      Our capital needs in the future will depend upon factors such as market
acceptance of our products and any other new products we launch, the success of
our independent distributors and our production, marketing and sales costs. None
of these factors can be predicted with certainty.

      We will need substantial additional debt or equity financing in the future
for which we currently have no commitments or arrangement. We cannot assure you
that any additional financing, if required, will be available or, even if it is
available that it will be on terms acceptable to us. If we raise additional
funds by selling stock, the ownership of our existing shareholders will be
diluted. Any inability to obtain required financing would have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

      Certain of our products are closely identified with celebrities and our
brand recognition is significantly affected by their success in their
profession.

      Certain of our products, and products for which we have acquired
distribution rights, adopt the name of a single personality or celebrity, or is
associated with a single personality or celebrity, such as Willie Nelson, Paul
Newman and Chef Roy Yamaguchi. Therefore, any reduction of notoriety or any
damage to the reputation of any such personality will correspondingly damage the
associated product and could have a material adverse effect on the results of
our operations.

Certain Factors Relating to Our Industry

      We compete in an industry that is brand-conscious, so brand name
recognition and acceptance of our products are critical to our success.

      Our business is substantially dependent upon awareness and market
acceptance of our products and brands by our targeted consumers, In addition,
our business depends on acceptance by our independent distributors of our brands
as beverage brands that have the potential to provide incremental sales growth
rather than reduce distributors' existing beverage sales. Although we believe
that we have been relatively successful towards establishing our brands as
recognizable to date in both the alcoholic and non alcoholic beverage industry,
it may be too early in the product life cycle of these brands to determine
whether our products and brands will achieve and maintain satisfactory levels of
acceptance by independent distributors and retail consumers.

<PAGE>

      Opposition from traditional alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage
manufacturers may adversely affect our distribution relationships and may hinder
development of our existing markets, as well as prevent us from expanding our
markets.

      The beverage industry is highly competitive. We compete with other
beverage companies, most of which have significantly more sales and
significantly more resources, not only for consumer acceptance but also for
shelf space in retail outlets and for marketing focus by our distributors, all
of whom also distribute other beverage brands. Our products compete with all
beverages, most of which are marketed by companies with greater financial
resources than what we have. Some of these competitors are or will likely in the
future, place severe pressure on independent distributors not to carry
competitive alternative brands such as ours. We also compete with regional
beverage producers and "private label" suppliers. Some of our Alcoholic
competitors are Diageo, Pernod Ricard, Allied Domecq and Bacardi. Some of our
direct competitors in the alternative beverage industry include Cadbury
Schweppes (Snapple, Stewart, Nantucket Nectar, Mystic), Thomas Kemper, Boylans
and Hansens. Increased competitor consolidations, market place competition,
particularly among branded beverage products, and competitive product and
pricing pressures could impact our earnings, market share and volume growth. If,
due to such pressure or other competitive threats, we are unable to sufficiently
maintain or develop our distribution channels, or alternative distribution
channels, we may be unable to achieve our financial targets. As a means of
maintaining and expanding our distribution network, we intend to introduce
product extensions and additional brands. There can be no assurance that we will
be able to do so or that other companies will not be more successful in this
regard over the long term. Competition, particularly from companies with greater
financial and marketing resources than those available to us, could have a
material adverse effect on our existing markets, as well as our ability to
expand the market for our products.

      We compete in an industry characterized by rapid changes in consumer
preferences, so our ability to continue developing new products to satisfy our
consumers' changing preferences will determine our long-term success.

      Our current market distribution and penetration may be limited with
respect to the population as a whole to determine whether the brand has achieved
initial consumer acceptance, and there can be no assurance that this acceptance
will ultimately be achieved. In addition, customer preferences are also affected
by factors other than taste, such as the recent media focus on obesity in youth.
If we do not adjust to respond to these and other changes in customer
preferences, our sales may be adversely affected.

<PAGE>

      A decline in the consumption of alcohol could adversely affect our
business

      There have been periods in U.S. history during which alcohol consumption
declined substantially. A decline in alcohol consumption could occur in the
future due to a variety of factors including: (i) a general decline in economic
conditions, (ii) increased concern about health consequences and concerns about
drinking and driving, (iii) a trend toward other beverages such as juices and
water, (iv) increased activity of anti-alcohol consumer groups, and (v) increase
federal, state or foreign excise taxes. A decline in the consumption of alcohol
would likely negatively affect our business.

      We could be exposed to product liability claims for personal injury or
possibly death.

      Although we have product liability insurance in amounts we believe are
adequate, we cannot assure that the coverage will be sufficient to cover any or
all product liability claims. To the extent our product liability coverage is
insufficient, a product liability claim would likely have a material adverse
affect upon our financial condition. In addition, any product liability claim
successfully brought against us may materially damage the reputation of our,
products, thus adversely affecting our ability to continue to market and sell
that or other products.

      Our business is subject to many regulations and noncompliance is costly.

      The production, marketing and sale of our alcoholic and non alcoholic
beverages, including contents, labels, caps and containers, are subject to the
rules and regulations of various federal, provincial, state and local health
agencies. If a regulatory authority finds that a current or future product or
production run is not in compliance with any of these regulations, we may be
fined, or production may be stopped, thus adversely affecting our financial
conditions and operations. Similarly, any adverse publicity associated with any
noncompliance may damage our reputation and our ability to successfully market
our products. Furthermore, the rules and regulations are subject to change from
time to time and while we monitor developments in this area, our limited staff
make it difficult for us to keep up to date and we have no way of anticipating
whether changes in these rules and regulations will impact our business
adversely. Additional or revised regulatory requirements, whether labeling,
environmental, tax or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations.

      The current U.S. economic uncertainty and international conflict,
terrorism events all or individually may have an adverse impact on our sales and
earnings, and our shipping costs have increased.

<PAGE>

      We cannot predict the impact of the current economic uncertainty in the
United States, or the current international situation on current and future
consumer demand for and sales of our products. In addition, recent volatility in
the global oil markets has resulted in rising fuel and freight prices, which
many shipping companies are passing on to their customers. Our shipping costs
have increased over the past several months, and we expect these costs may
continue to increase. Due to the price sensitivity of our products, we do not
anticipate that we will be able to pass these increased costs on to our
customers.

Certain Factors Related to Our Common Stock

      Because our Common Stock is considered a "penny stock," a shareholder may
have difficulty selling shares in the secondary trading market.

      In addition, our Common Stock is subject to certain rules and regulations
relating to "penny stock" (generally defined as any equity security that is not
quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market and that has a price less than $5.00 per
share, subject to certain exemptions). Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks are
subject to certain "sales practice requirements" for sales in certain nonexempt
transactions (i.e., sales to persons other than established customers and
institutional "accredited investors"), including requiring delivery of a risk
disclosure document relating to the penny stock market and monthly statements
disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account, and
certain other restrictions. For as long as our Common Stock is subject to the
rules on penny stocks, the market liquidity for such securities could be
significantly limited. This lack of liquidity may also make it more difficult
for us to raise capital in the future through sales of equity in the public or
private markets.

      The price of our Common Stock may be volatile, and a shareholder's
investment in our Common Stock could suffer a decline in value.

      There could be significant volatility in the volume and market price of
our Common Stock, and this volatility may continue in the future. Even if our
Common Stock is accepted for listing on the OTC Bulletin Board, there is a
greater chance for market volatility for securities that trade on the OTC
Bulletin Board as opposed to a national exchange or quotation system. This
volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily
available quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of
"bid" and "ask" quotations and generally lower trading volume. In addition,
factors such as quarterly variations in our operating results, changes in
financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to meet our or their
projected financial and operating results, litigation involving us, general
trends relating to the beverage industry, actions by governmental agencies,
national economic and stock market considerations as well as other events and
circumstances beyond our control could have a significant impact on the future
market price of our Common Stock and the relative volatility of such market
price.

ITEM 2 Property

      As a sublessee we lease 2,739 square feet of office in Wilton, Connecticut
under an operating sublease which will expire July 31, 2009, with minimum annual
rent payments of approximately $50,000 through July 31, 2009. We may, at our
option, terminate the lease effective July 31, 2007, subject to formal
notification to the sublessor no later than July 31, 2006. We believe our leased
premise is suitable and adequate for our use and is adequately covered by
insurance.

ITEM 3 Legal Proceedings

      The Company was recently sued in Superior Court of New Jersey, Bergen
County, by a European supplier for $51,655.51 (Bischofszell v. Drinks Americas,
Inc., Docket # BER-L-14178-04). There have been various motions filed to date.
The Company has retained litigation counsel and plans to vigorously defend this
suit. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses, as well as counterclaims
far in excess of the amount claimed by the supplier.

ITEM 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our
consolidated financial statements and related notes to the consolidated
financial statements included elsewhere in this Report. Except for historical
information, the following contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should also
refer to "Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward Looking Statements" included
above.

Results of Operations

Year ended April 30, 2005 compared to year ended April 30, 2004 (new)

      Net Sales. Net sales were $2,071,566 in fiscal 2005 an increase of
$717,113 or 53% compared to net sales of $1,354,463 in fiscal 2004. Total case
sales of our alcoholic brands, (9 liter equivalent case) were 18,508 in fiscal
2005 compared to 8,158 in fiscal 2004, and our non-alcoholic brand case sales
increased to 37,084 cases in fiscal 2005 from 30,384 in fiscal 2004. These
volume increases compared to fiscal 2004 can be attributed primarily to
increased sales of existing brands and the introduction of new products in
fiscal 2005, including Cohete Rum and Newman's Own Lightly Sparkling Fruit
Juices. During fiscal 2005 we expanded the marketing of our existing products,
including Old Whiskey River Bourbon, Normans Wines and Y Sake into new states
and we increased sales promotions in existing states, all of which contributed
to a net comparable products sales gain for existing products in fiscal 2005 of
approximately $271,000 compared to fiscal 2004. This gain is net of volume
reductions in Swiss Tea and Aguila Tequila, both of which, are projected to
realize increased sales in fiscal 2006. Sales of new products contributed
$446,000 of our increase in net sales for the fiscal year.

<PAGE>

      Gross Profit. Gross profit was $515,373 in fiscal 2005 (24.8% of net
sales), an increase of $160,979 compared to gross profit of $354,293 in fiscal
2004 (26.1% of net sales). The increase in gross profit was primarily
attributable to several factors including additional sales in general. Increased
profitability in 2005, of approximately $63,000, was attributable to sales of
Old Whiskey River Bourbon, due to our successful cost reduction effort in the
production of the promotional 750 ml 6 pack cases of this product. It is also
significant to note that sales of Cohete Rum and Newman's Own during 2005
reflect promotional discounts and a corresponding low profit margin normally
associated with the introduction of new products to the marketplace.

      Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $4,521,402 in fiscal 2005, an increase of
$1,198,726 or 36% compared to expenses of $3,322,676. During 2005 we incurred
one-time expenses approximating $379,000 which relate to the successful
completion of the reverse acquisition and bonuses to consultants. In addition,
2005 expenses increased by approximately $157,000 as the result of the
amortization of the costs related to the issuances of our senior convertible
notes. Additional selling, general and administrative expenses incurred in
fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004 relating to the expansion of our business
and our products, included the hiring of an advertising and public relations
firm, additional sales reps and employees, increases in related selling
expenses, and audit and accounting fees related to the initial audit of our
consolidated financial statements.

      Other Expenses (net). Other expenses (net) were $321,669 in fiscal 2005,
an increase of $285,978 from net expenses of $35,691 in fiscal 2004. The
substantial increase was caused primarily by interest expense related to
increases in our borrowings which were needed to provide sources of cash in
fiscal 2005. We also incurred expenses of $157,500 in order to secure
forbearance from a lender with respect to a demand loan which we were unable to
pay when it was called. In fiscal 2005 our 25% investments in two limited
liability companies which own two of our alcoholic product brands, resulted in
additional earnings in fiscal 2005 of approximately $35,000 when compared to
fiscal 2004.

<PAGE>

      Income Taxes: We have incurred substantial net losses from our inception
and as a result, have not incurred any income tax liabilities. Our federal net
operating loss carryforward is approximately $5,700,000 which we can use to
reduce taxable earnings in the future. No income tax benefits were recognized in
fiscal 2005 and 2004 as we have provided valuation reserves against the full
amount of the future carryforward loss tax benefit. We will evaluate the reserve
every reporting period and recognize the tax benefits when realization is
reasonably assured.

Impact of Inflation
      Inflation has not had a material effect on our results of operations.

Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations and
investing activities for the fiscal years 2005 and 2004. Net losses for fiscal
2005 and 2004 aggregated 7,331,772, but cash consumed from operating and
investing activities in both years aggregated $ 3,911,876. We were able to
reduce our cash requirements in both years in large part from nonpayment of
certain payroll and consulting fees owed to our management, our employees and
certain other vendors and creditors. A substantial portion of these liabilities,
effective April 30, 2005 were satisfied by our issuing restricted shares of our
common stock, as more fully explained below. We financed our operations and
investments in fiscal 2005 and 2004, from the following:

(1) On June 21, 2004 Gourmet Group initiated a Private Placement (the "Private
Placement") of convertible notes ("GG Notes") and, between June 21, 2004 and
October 6, 2004, raised a total of $962,500 from accredited investors. The
purpose of the proceeds from these notes was to provide working capital for
Drinks Americas. The GG Notes bore interest at 10% per annum, and unless
converted into shares of our common stock at $.75 per share, were payable in
eight equal quarterly installments, together with accrued interest, commencing
one year from the issue date of each GG Note.
      As of June 24, 2005 all of the holders converted the principal and accrued
interest outstanding on these Notes, totaling $1,046,510, into 1,498,955
restricted shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.6982.

<PAGE>

(2) Between July 2004 and December 2004 we borrowed a total of $290,898, bearing
interest at 10% per annum, from one of our Directors, Fredrick Schulman. The
loan is payable on demand. See item 12 for a more detailed discussion of this
obligation.

(3) In October 2003 we entered into a factoring agreement under which we
assigned a substantial amount of our accounts receivable to a factor without
recourse as to bad debts, but with recourse as to all customer claims. The
agreement enables us to receive cash advances from the factor equal to 70% of
the value of a customer invoice at date of invoicing. We receive the balance of
an invoice at the time the invoice is paid in full to the factor less a
factoring fee of generally between 2 1/2 % and 4% of the total invoice. On July
29, 2005 we notified the factor that we would terminate the agreement as of
October 2, 2005.

(4) In May 2004 we entered into an unsecured bank credit facility for borrowings
of up to $200,000 with interest at 1.5% above prime, guaranteed by Fabio
Berkowicz, our Chief Financial Officer. We owe the bank $200,000 under this
facility which has since been extended to October 1, 2005.

(5) During fiscal 2003 and 2004 we entered into two secured borrowing agreements
with our shareholder, Ken Close, and his affiliate Nexcomm International
Beverage LLC, each in the amount of $200,000, or an aggregate of $400,000, with
the entire principal initially required to be repaid by January 2004, together
with interest at 8% per annum. The repayment terms of the loans were
subsequently modified and principal and accrued interest is repayable in an
amount equal to one-third of all cash distributions we receive under our
factoring facility. As of April 30, 2005 , we owed, including interest,
$132,278, pursuant to these loans. In addition, in fiscal 2004, Mr. Close and
his affiliate, Nexcomm International Beverage LLC, made to us, from time to
time, loans aggregating $500,000 with interest payable at the effective rate of
11.8% per annum, with no specific repayment terms for principal or interest. As
of April 30, 2005, we satisfied $100,000 of these loans by issuing 222,222
restricted shares of our common stock (see below). Including interest, the
balance owed on these loans as of. April 30, 2005 was $317,233. We believe that
these loans are the equivalent of demand loans and hope to make periodic
payments to reduce the aggregate principal amount outstanding.

(6) In December 2004, we received a loan of $100,000 from an individual, who
beneficially owns less than 1% of our Common Stock, without issuing a written
note. We accrued interest payable to him at the rate of 10% per annum. As of
April 30, 2005, we satisfied this loan by issuing 222,222 restricted shares of
our common stock

(7) In January 2005, we received $100,000 from an investor without executing
formal, written documents. As of April 30, 2005 this amount together with
accrued interest at 10% per annum was satisified by our issuing 227,309
restricted shares of our common stock

<PAGE>

(8) We have an informal understanding with Mr. Shep Gordon pursuant to which he
would have the option of converting all or a portion of the consulting fees
which we owe to him into shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price to be
agreed upon. The consulting agreement which we entered into in December 2002
with Mr. Gordon provides for $600,000 in fees to Mr. Gordon payable in five
fixed increments over a period of 78 months. As of June 15, 2005 the aggregate
payable in cash to Mr. Gordon was $250,000. As of April 30, 2005 Mr. Gordon
converted $215,383 of these fees into 478,628 restricted shares of our common
stock .

(9) In fiscal 2003 we entered into a consulting agreement with a company, Marvin
Traub & Associates ("MTA"), owned 100% by Marvin Traub, a member of the Board of
Directors. MTA is being compensated at the rate of $100,000 per annum, a
substantial portion of which has not been paid. As of April 30, 2005 the Company
was indebted to MTA in the amount of $283,332. This consulting agreement is
still in force for fiscal 2006.

(10) In February 2005 we entered into a best effort investment banking agreement
pursuant to which a placement agent is attempting to procure equity-related
financing for us of between $6,000,000 and $10,000,000 (the "2005 Equity
Offering"). As the result of a bridge financing plan between us and the agent,
we issued senior convertible notes in the amount of $1,350,000 of which
$1,260,000 was received as of April 30, 2005. These notes bear interest at 10%
per annum and both principal and interest are payable on the first anniversary
of the respective note's issuance date. The note agreements include a conversion
feature, enabling the holder to convert the principal into shares of our common
stock at the lower of the per share price equivalent in the 2005 Equity Offering
or $0.45 per share. In connection with the bridge note financing, we issued
warrants to purchase 1,350,000 shares of our common stock, with a per share
exercise price equal to the lower of $0.45 or the per share price equivalent in
the 2005 Equity Offering. No amounts have as yet been raised in the 2005 Equity
Offering and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such
financings.

(11) In March 2005 we entered into agreements with our executive officers, our
chairman of the board, and certain of our shareholders, employees and
consultants for the purpose of repaying amounts owed by us to each of them
either as payroll or consulting fee liabilities, or demand loans. As a result,
we satisfied total liabilities of $2,530,979 by issuing 5,624,397 of restricted
shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.45 per share.

(12) In June 2005 we issued subscriptions for up to $1,000,000 of our Adjustable
Convertible Notes. Such notes will bear interest at 10% per annum, and will give
the noteholder the future option to convert outstanding principal into shares of
our common stock. On June 15, 2005 we issued a note for $100,000 to an investor.

<PAGE>

      We require additional working capital to continue operating as a going
concern and to expand our business. We anticipate that increased sales revenues
will help to some extent, but we will need to obtain funds from the 2005 Equity
Offering or other equity or debt offerings, and/or from a new and expanded
credit facility. In the event we are not able to increase working capital, we
will not be able to achieve all or part of our plan, and our ability to attain
profitable operations, generate positive cash flows from operating and investing
activities and materially expand the business in fiscal 2006 will be materially
adversely affected.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

      Not applicable.

Critical Accounting Policies

      Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to
the audited financial statements. 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, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ
from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that
the following critical accounting policy is subject to estimates and judgments
used in the preparation of the financial statements:

      Long Lived Assets. Long-lived assets, including intangible assets,
property, furniture and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable based on
certain judgments and estimates. These judgments and estimates include the
determination of an event indicating impairment; the future undiscounted cash
flows to be generated by the asset, including the estimated life of the asset
and likelihood of alternative courses of action; and risks associated with those
cash flows. An impairment charge is recorded equal to the difference between the
carrying amount of the asset and its fair value.

      Useful lives of long-lived assets are based on management's estimates of
the periods that the assets will be productively utilized in the
revenue-generation process. Factors that affect the determination of lives
include prior experience with similar assets and product life expectations and
management's estimate of the period that the assets will generate revenues.

<PAGE>

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

      We do not hold instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest
rates, foreign currency exchange rates or commodity prices. Therefore, we
believe that we are not materially exposed to market risks resulting from
fluctuations from such rates or prices.

ITEM 7 Financial Statements

      Financial Statements are listed in the Index to Financial Statements and
filed and included elsewhere herein as a part of this Annual Report on Form

Item 8 Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants On Accounting and Financial
Disclosure

Item 8A Controls and Procedures

      We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and
forms. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated
our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by
this Report and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are
effective.

Item 8B Other Information

      As of June 24, 2005 we issued 1,498,955 restricted shares of our common
stock in conversion of $1,046,510 of convertible promissory notes (including
accrued interest) which were issued by Gourmet Group in a private placement
initiated in June 2004.

In March 2005 we entered into agreements with our executive officers, our
chairman of the board, and certain of our shareholders, employees and
consultants for the purpose of repaying amounts owed by us to each of them
either as payroll or consulting fee liabilities, or demand loans. As a result,
we satisfied total liabilities of $2,530,979 by issuing 5,624,397 of restricted
shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.45 per share. For more
details please refer to Item 5 in this Annual Report.

In June 2005 we issued subscriptions for up to 1,000,000 of our Adjustable
Convertible Notes, which bear interest at 10% per annum and give the noteholder

             Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Drinks Americas Holdings, Ltd.
Wilton, Connecticut

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Drinks Americas Holdings,
Ltd. and affiliates as of April 30, 2005, and the related statements of
operations, shareholders' deficiency, and cash flows for the year then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of April 30,
2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then
ended, 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. As discussed in Note 1, the
Company has incurred significant losses from operations since its inception and
has a working capital deficiency. These conditions raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in
regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

               (FORMERLY MAXMILLIAN PARTNERS, LTD AND AFFILIATES)
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   FOR THE YEARS ENDED APRIL 30, 2005 AND 2004


1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

      On March 9, 2005 the shareholders of Drinks Americas, Inc. ("Drinks") a
company engaged in the business of importing and distributing unique, premium
alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages associated with icon entertainers, sports
figures, celebrities and destinations, to beverage wholesalers throughout the
United States, acquired control of Drinks Americas Holdings, Ltd (`the
Company"). The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 14,
2005. On March 9, 2005 the Company merged with Gourmet Group, Inc., (`Gourmet"),
a publicly traded Nevada corporation, which resulted in Gourmet shareholders
acquiring 1 share of the Company's common stock in exchange for 10 shares of
Gourmet's common stock. Both the Company and Gourmet were considered "shell"
corporations, as Gourmet had no operating business on the date of the share
exchange, or for the previous three years. Pursuant to the June 9, 2004
Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange among Gourmet, Drinks and the Drinks'
shareholders the Company, with approximately 4,058,000 of outstanding common
stock, issued approximately 45,164,000 of additional shares of its common stock
on March 9, 2005 to the common shareholders of Drinks and to the members of its
affiliate Maxmillian Mixers, LLC (`Mixers'), in exchange for all of the
outstanding Drinks' common shares and Mixers' membership units, respectively. As
a result Maxmillian Partners, LLC, ("Partners"), which owned 99% of the Drinks'
outstanding common stock and approximately 55% of Mixers' outstanding
membership, units became the Company's controlling shareholder with
approximately 87% of the Company's outstanding common stock.

      For financial accounting purposes this business combination has been
treated as a reverse acquisition, or a recapitalization of Maxmillian Partners,
LLC, a holding company and the parent company of Drinks, and Partners' other
operating subsidiary and affiliates, Mixers and Drinks' inactive foreign
subsidiaries (Bebedes de C.A. and Cohete, S.A.). The accompanying consolidated
balance sheet as of April 30, 2004 and the related consolidated results of
operations, changes in shareholders' deficit and cash flows for the year then
ended, plus the period May 1, 2004 to March 8, 2005 are those of Partners its
subsidiary and affiliates. (Collectively "the Company" prior to March 9, 2005).
The consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2005 and results of operations
from March 9, 2005 to April 30, 2005 and all subsequent events reflect Drinks
Americas Holdings, Ltd its majority-owned subsidiaries and Partners
(collectively "the Company" subsequent to March 9, 2005). All intercompany
transactions and balances in these financial statements have been eliminated in
consolidation. The amount of common and preferred shares authorized, issued and
outstanding as of April 30, 2005, are those of the Company, the legal acquirer.
Common shares issued at the acquisition date represent the number of outstanding
shares of the Company before the share exchange with Partners. Common shares
outstanding as of April 30, 2004 and 2003 and weighted average number of basic
and diluted common shares outstanding for the year then ended represent the
number of equivalent shares which would have been issued by the Company to the
Drinks' shareholders and Mixer members prior to March 9, 2005. Operating results
of Drinks Americas Holdings, Ltd. and its predecessor Gourmet for periods prior
to the date of the reverse acquisition and its financial position as of April
30, 2004 are not material.

                  DRINKS AMERICAS HOLDINGS, LTD. AND AFFILIATES
               (FORMERLY MAXMILLIAN PARTNERS, LTD AND AFFILIATES)
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   FOR THE YEARS ENDED APRIL 30, 2005 AND 2004

      Partners, which was organized as a Delaware limited liability company on
January 1, 2002 and incorporated Drinks in Delaware on September 24, 2002,
subsequent to March 9, 2005 transferred all of its Company shares to its members
as part of a plan of liquidation. The financial statements of Partners are
included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a
basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has
a shareholders' deficit of $4,004,654 as of April 30, 2005, and has incurred
significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since
inception. These factors indicate the Company may not be able to continue as a
going concern. Management anticipates cash flows from the proceeds of additional
debt and equity offerings in fiscal 2006. Management plans to introduce new
products and to greatly expand the marketing efforts of all of its products to
increase volume and reduce operating losses in fiscal 2006. There can be no
assurance, however that management's plans will enable the Company to attain
profitable operations or generate sufficient cash flows from operations and
financing activities necessary to continue as a going concern. The accompanying
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary should the company be unable to continue in
existence.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Revenue Recognition

      The Company recognizes revenues when title passes to the customer, which
is generally when products are shipped. Net sales include applicable billings to
customers for shipping and handling.

      Cash Concentration

      The Company from time to time maintains balances in depository accounts in
excess of FDIC insured limits. The Company has not experienced any credit losses
nor anticipates any future losses in such accounts.

      Reclassifications

      Certain amounts in the 2004 consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified toconform to the 2005 presentation with no effect on net loss or
shareholders' deficit.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   FOR THE YEARS ENDED APRIL 30, 2005 AND 2004

      Accounts Receivable

      Accounts receivable are recorded at original invoice amount less an
allowance for uncollectible accounts that management believes will be adequate
to absorb estimated losses on existing balances. Management estimates the
allowance based on collectability of accounts receivable and prior bad debt
experience. Accounts receivable balances are written off upon management's
determination that such accounts are uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts
receivable previously written off are recorded when received. Management
believes that credit risks on accounts receivable will not be material to the
financial position of the Company or results of operations.

      Inventories

      Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market.

      Property and Equipment

      Property (leasehold improvements), furniture and equipment are stated at
cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of furniture and equipment, and amortization of improvements is
provided on the straight-line method over the term of the related lease.

      Impairment of Long-lived Assets

      In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144
(SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets),
the Company's policy is to record an impairment loss at each balance sheet date
when it is determined that the carrying amount may not be recoverable based on
undiscounted future cash flows of the related asset. At April 30, 2005 no
long-lived assets were deemed to be impaired.

      Income Taxes

      As of April 30, 2005 the Company and Drinks are C Corporations under the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state statutes. Deferred
taxes are provided based on the tax effects of certain temporary differences
between the valuation of assets and liabilities for financial statement and
income tax purposes. Deferred tax balances are adjusted to reflect tax rates,
based on current tax laws, which will be in effect in the years in which the
temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are
established as necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts more likely
than not to be realized. Partners is a limited liability company, taxed as a
partnership with no income tax liabilities under the provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code and applicable state statutes.

                   FOR THE YEARS ENDED APRIL 30, 2005 AND 2004

      Deferred Charges and Intangible Assets

      The costs of intangible assets with determinable useful lives are
amortized over the respectful useful life on the straight-line method. The costs
of trademarks and product distribution rights are amortized over their related
useful lives of between 15 to 40 years.

      The costs incurred by the Company in connection with the issuance of
senior convertible notes are being amortized into income ratably over the
maturity period of each of the notes. Costs in connection with the
aforementioned reverse acquisition, have been expensed as incurred.

      Investments

      The investments of the Company in 25% ownership interests of Old Whiskey
River Distilling, LLC and Y Sake, LLC are accounted for under the equity method
of accounting.

      Advertising Costs

      Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was
approximately $15,700 and $ 21,000 for the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively.

      Shipping and Delivery

      The Company includes shipping and delivery costs in selling, general and
administrative expenses. Shipping and delivery costs were approximately $16,700
and $ 15,000 for the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

      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 in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

      Fair Value of Financial Instruments

      The carrying amounts for cash, trade receivables, accounts payable,
current maturites of long-term debt, and notes and loans payable approximate
fair values as of April 30, 2005 because of the short term maturities of those
instruments.

      Recent Accounting Pronouncements

      In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151 entitled "Inventory
Costs--an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4" ("FAS No. 151"). This statement
amends the guidance in ARB No. 43 to clarify the accounting for certain costs
including abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and
spoilage. FAS No. 151 requires that these items be expensed as incurred. The
Company adopted FAS No. 151 in the year ended April 30, 2005, which had no
effect on our consolidated financial statements

3.    ACQUISITION

      On March 11, 2005 the Company and an individual organized Drinks Global,
LLC (DGI). The Company owns 90% of the membership units and the individual, who

various parts of the world and sell them to distributors throughout the United
States. DGI's members' agreement does not require either member to contribute
cash for the membership units; however the Company has paid the start-up
expenses of DGI, which were not material through April 30, 2005. In June 2005
DGI finalized a subscription document for the issuance of up to $1,000,000 of
its Adjustable Convertible Notes. The principal on each note will be payable
three years from the date of issuance, and may, at the option of the noteholder,
be converted into shares of the Company's common stock. The proceeds from the
notes are to be used for the working capital of DGI. The Company guarantees the
payment of all obligations under the note purchase agreement. Through June 15,
2005 DGI received proceeds of $100,000 from the issuance of one note.

receives a cash advance equal to 70% of the invoice amount, and is paid the

</TABLE>

      Annual maturities of long-term debt are $481,250 (2006) and $185,938 (see
(a) below).

(a) Between June 24, 2004 and October 6, 2004 Drinks received gross proceeds of
$962,500 related to the issuances of senior notes payable to Gourmet. Gourmet in
turn received the identical proceeds from the issuance of its senior convertible
notes over the same period of time to eight individual investors. The purpose of
the proceeds from the Gourmet notes was to provide working capital to Drinks. As
of April 30, 2005 the notes payable above are the original Gourmet notes. The
notes provide for interest at 10% per annum and the principal balance is payable
in 8 equal quarterly installments, together with accrued interest, commencing 15
months after the issuance date of the respective note. The outstanding principal
and accrued interest are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock
at the option of the senior noteholders (see Note 16).

                   FOR THE YEARS ENDED APRIL 30, 2005 AND 2004

(b) Between March 15 and April 30, 2005 the Company issued a second series of
senior convertible notes totaling $1,260,000, which resulted in net proceeds
after deductions for certain costs and fees, of $1,069,000. The notes bear
interest at 10% per annum, with principal and interest payable in full one year
from the date of issuance of the respective note. Each of the noteholders has
the option to convert outstanding principal into shares of the Company's common
stock. The noteholders have discretionary conversion rights to convert all of
the principal amount into shares of the Company's common stock, at a per share
price equal to the lower of (1) $0.45 or (2) the per share price realized in a
subsequent debt or equity financing of at least six million. (See Note 14(b)) In
addition each of the noteholders was issued separate warrants to purchase an
aggregate 1,260,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The warrants may be
exercised at any time up to five years from the date of issuance at the same
price per share. Amounts owed to these noteholders are subordinate to amounts
owed to secured creditors, and senior to all other unsecured creditors. As
additional security for one $500,000 promissory note, the Company's chief
executive officer and its chairman of the board pledged an aggregate 1,000,000
shares of stock they own in the Company.

(c) The balance of $132,278 (including interest) is the unpaid balance of a
$200,000 secured note issued in July 2003 to a shareholder beneficially owning
16.5% of the Company's outstanding common stock as of April 30, 2005. This
shareholder has a security interest in the assets of the Company subordinate to
those secured interests of the factor (see Note 4). The Company has no formal
repayment plan, but instead remits one-third of all amounts received
periodically from the factor in settlement of factored customer invoice
payments. These amounts apply to accrued interest first followed by outstanding
principal.

(d) In May 2004, the Company entered into a line of credit with a financial
institution for aggregate borrowings of $200,000, with interest at 1% above the
prime rate. The credit line with this institution expires on November 1, 2005.
The Company's chief financial officer has guaranteed the payment of the
Company's obligations under this line of credit.

(e) Between July and December 2004 a member of our board of directors extended a
payable on demand unsecured credit facility to the Company in an amount of up to
$291,000. The total loan bears interest at 10% per annum without any specified
repayment date. Accrued interest of $14,061 is included in accrued expenses in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

      In order to provide the total borrowings made by the Company, the director
personally borrowed $172,230 from third parties. These third parties
subsequently demanded repayment from the director for an aggregate $157,500 and
the director, in turn demanded that the Company repay him a like amount. Because
the Company was unable to repay in cash, management agreed to issue 350,000
restricted shares of the Company's common stock (valued at $0.45 per share) to
the third parties, on behalf of the director, in consideration for their
forebearance with respect to this debt. A total of $157,500 is included in
interest expense in the accompanying 2005 consolidated statement of operations.

(f) Other interest bearing loans principally include $317,233 owed to the
shareholder referred to in (c) above, including interest at 11% per annum. Of
this total $46,534 relates to a loan made in August 2003 and the balance relates
to a series of loans between February and April 2004. These unsecured loans have
no stipulated repayment dates, and no payments have been made by the Company
through April 30, 2005. As of April 30, 2005 the shareholder converted $100,000
of unsecured debt owed to him in exchange for 222,222 restricted shares of the
Company's common stock. (See Note 11).

(g) Other non-interest bearing loans previously included two $100,000 loans, one
from a Company shareholder in November 2004 and another from a prospective
shareholder in January 2005. Neither of these loans has written documentation.
The Company had an understanding with the lenders that the two loans would
accrued interest at 10% per annum, and be repaid through the issuance of shares
of the Company's common stock. As of April 30, 2005 these persons converted
their loans into an aggregate 449,531 restricted shares of the Company's common
stock (See Note 11). There were additional loans from shareholders and board
members of the Company aggregating $57,288, of which $50,000 ($25,000 was owed
to a consulting firm of which the chairman of the board has the firm's
investment authority) was converted as of April 30, 2005 into 111,111 restricted
shares of the Company's common stock.(See Note 11). The remaining unpaid balance
of $7,288 is owed to a member of the board of directors.

      As of April 30, 2005, a substantial portion of accrued payroll and
consulting fees originating in fiscal 2004 and 2005 was converted into
restricted shares of the Company's common stock (See Note 11).

11. SHAREHOLDERS' DEFICIENCY

      Weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to compute
earnings per share for the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004 are as follows:

                                           2005               2004

               Basic and diluted        44,385,129         38,753,522

      On March 6, 2005 the Company reached agreements individually with its
officers, and certain board members, employees, consultants and lenders to
convert the Company's indebtedness to all of them in the aggregate amount of
$2,530,979, into restricted shares of the Company's common stock. Accordingly
the Company issued 5,624,397 restricted shares of its common stock, which was
based on a contracted conversion price of $0.45 per share for all.

12.  INCOME TAXES

      No provision for taxes on income is included in the accompanying
statements of operations because of the net operating losses in both fiscal
years. The Company and Drinks currently file income tax returns on a June 30th
and December 31st tax year; however an application for change in tax year to
April 30th for both companies is in process and the outcome for an approval
appears likely. Drinks federal net operating loss carryforward as of April 30,
2005 is approximately $5,700,000, available to offset future years' taxable
income through 2025. The federal net operating loss carryforward of the Drinks
Americas Holdings, Ltd. as successor to Gourmet Group, Inc. is approximately
$1,500,000. Due to the annual limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code
arising when shareholder ownership changes significantly, management feels it is
unlikely that the related tax benefits from this carryforward will be realized
in the future.

      As of April 30, 2005, Drinks' deferred tax asset is reduced by a valuation
allowance as follows:

      A valuation allowance has been provided due to the uncertainty of future
profitability of the Company. Management's position with respect to the
likelihood of recoverability of these deferred tax assets will be evaluated each
reporting period.

13.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      Consulting fees

      In 2005 and 2004, the Company incurred consulting fees payable to two
limited liability companies, one of which was controlled by the Company's
chairman of the board and the other controlled by the Company's chief executive
officer and largest shareholder. These fees, which were entirely for the
services rendered by each totaled $ 240,000 and $ 18,735 (2005) and $ 240,000
and $ 8,500 (2004), respectively. As of April 30, 2005 unpaid fees owed to the
chairman's consulting firm, aggregating $568,860 were converted into 1,264,133
restricted shares of the Company's common stock. Fees incurred by the Company in
both years payable to two consulting firms, one financial consulting firm
controlled by the chief financial officer and one marketing consulting firm
controlled by a member of the board of directors, totaled $ 80,666 and $100,000
(2005) and $70,000 and $ 100,000 (2004), respectively. These fees were for the
professional services rendered by both individuals. Fees owed to the director's
and officer's consulting firms as of April 30, 2005 were $ 283,332 and $34,000
respectively. Fees owed to the officer's consulting firm totaling $71,666 were
converted into 159,258 restricted shares of the Company's common stock as of
April 30, 2005. .

      Interest expense

      Interest expense in 2005 related to the loans with a member of our board
of directors in fiscal 2005 as described in Note 9 (all unpaid as of April 30,
2005), totaled $14,061. An indemnification made on behalf of the director
through the issuance of 350,000 restricted shares of the Company's common stock
resulted in additional interest expense of $157,500.

      Royalty fees

      In connection with the Company's distribution and licensing agreements
with its equity investee the Company incurred royalty expenses during 2005 and
2004 of approximately $132,000 and $147,000, respectively. These amounts are
included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations.

14.   CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION

      For the year ended April 30, 2005 one customer accounted for 18% of net
sales and for the year ended April 30, 2004 two customers accounted for 17% and
12% of net sales, respectively.

15.   COMMITMENTS

      Lease

      Partners leases office space for the benefit of the Company under an
operating sublease, with minimum annual rentals of $50,000 through July 31,
2009. Partners may at its option terminate the lease effective July 31, 2007,
subject to formal notification to the sublessor no later than July 31, 2006.
Rent expense under this lease for the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004 was
approximately $50,000. Future minimum annual lease payments as of April 30, 2005
are $50,000 (2006 and 2007) and $12,500 (to July 31, 2007).

      Litigation

      The Company was sued in Superior Court of New Jersey by a European
supplier for $51,655.51. There have been various motions filed to date.
Management believes it has meritorious defenses, including counterclaims for
amounts well in excess of the amount claimed by the supplier.

16.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

(a) On June 24, 2005 all of the senior noteholders who had invested in the
Gourmet notes, converted aggregate principal and accrued interest totaling
