1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Basis of Presentation

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 to beverage wholesalers throughout the United States, acquired control of Drinks Americas Holdings, Ltd. ("Holdings" or the "Company "). Holdings and Drinks were incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 14, 2005 and September 24, 2002, respectively. On March 9, 2005 Holdings merged with Gourmet Group, Inc. ("Gourmet"), a publicly traded Nevada corporation, which resulted in Gourmet shareholders acquiring 1 share of Holdings' common stock in exchange for 10 shares of Gourmet's common stock. Both Holdings 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, Holdings, with approximately 16,232 shares of outstanding common stock, issued approximately 180,656 of additional shares of its common stock on March 9, 2005 (the "Acquisition Date") 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") a holding company which owned 99% of Drinks' outstanding common stock and approximately 55% of Mixers' outstanding membership units, became Holdings' controlling shareholder with approximately 87% of Holdings' outstanding common stock. For financial accounting purposes this business combination has been treated as a reverse acquisition, or a recapitalization of Partners' subsidiaries (Drinks and Mixers).

Subsequent to the Acquisition Date, Partners, which was organized as a Delaware limited liability company on January 1, 2002 and incorporated Drinks in Delaware on September 24, 2002, transferred all its shares of holdings to its members as part of a plan of liquidation.

On January 15, 2009, Drinks acquired 90% of Olifant U.S.A Inc. (“Olifant”), a Connecticut corporation, which owns the trademark and brand names and holds the worldwide distribution rights (excluding Europe) to Olifant Vodka and Gin. During the year ended April 30, 2012, the Company reduced its ownership to 48% of Olifant recognizing a gain on disposal of product line of $280,478. In conjunction with the ownership reduction to 48%, the Company eliminated the remaining outstanding debt obligation of $600,000 and transitioned to the equity method of accounting.

Our license agreement with respect to Kid Rock’s BadAss Beer and related trademarks currently requires payments to Drinks Americas based upon volume through the term of the agreement.

Nature of Business

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, Drinks Americas Holdings, Inc. (“Drinks”), Drinks distributes and markets unique premium alcoholic beverages to beverage wholesalers throughout the United States and internationally.

In June of 2011, the company entered into an agreement to license and distribute the brands of Worldwide Beverage Imports ("WBI") in the eastern United States with brands to include KAH Tequila, Agave 99, Ed Hardy Tequila, Mexicali Beer, Chili Beer and Red Pig ale as well as various other products produced and imported by Worldwide Beverage Imports in return for the shares in the Company that would be no greater than 49% of the Company.

On November 1, 2011, the Company amended its agreement with Worldwide Beverage Imports. The Company was granted worldwide distribution rights on both the spirits and beer products of WBI. In connection with the agreement, the Company agreed to issue $1,500,000 in additional restricted shares of common stock (the “Additional Shares”) to Worldwide at a purchase price of $0.50 per share in exchange for Worldwide forgiving a $300,000 loan owed by the Company to Worldwide and Worldwide delivering $1,200,000 in Inventory to the Company, the sale proceeds of which are to be contributed to the capital of the Company.

Upon the completion of the purchase of the Initial Issuance and the Additional Shares and until one (1) year from the date of the completion of the close of the transaction, the Company agreed not to issue any additional shares of the Company without prior written consent of the Purchaser, provided that the Company may issue certain exempt issuances without the prior written consent of the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. However, the results from operations for the six months ended October 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending April 30, 2013. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated April 30, 2012 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

The consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2012 have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but do not include all disclosures required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary (collectively, the "Company"). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when title passes to the customer, which is generally when products are shipped. The Company recognizes royalty revenue based on its license agreements with its distributors, which typically is the greater of either the guaranteed minimum royalties payable under our license agreement or a royalty rate computed on the net sales of the distributor shipments to its customers.

The Company recognizes revenue dilution from items such as product returns, inventory credits, discounts and other allowances in the period that such items are first expected to occur. The Company does not offer its clients the opportunity to return products for any reason other than manufacturing defects. In addition, the Company does not offer incentives to its customers to either acquire more products or maintain higher inventory levels of products than they would in ordinary course of business. The Company assesses levels of inventory maintained by its customers through communications with them. Furthermore, it is the Company's policy to accrue for material post shipment obligations and customer incentives in the period the related revenue is recognized.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the 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 at October 31, 2012 and April 30, 2012, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $138,491, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in first-out cost method. The Company assesses the valuation of its inventories and reduces the carrying value of those inventories that are obsolete or in excess of the Company’s forecasted usage to their estimated net realizable value. The Company estimates the net realizable value of such inventories based on analysis and assumptions including, but not limited to, historical usage, expected future demand and market requirements. A change to the carrying value of inventories is recorded to cost of goods sold. During the six months ended October 31, 2012, the Company ceased carrying inventory and ships directly from manufacturer/wholesaler to the customer.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable. 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. Recoverability of these assets is based on undiscounted future cash flows of the related asset. For the six months ended October 31, 2012, the Company recorded impairment losses of $5,193,355 and $102,345 for intangible assets and investment in equity investees, respectively.

Intangible Assets

The costs of intangible assets with determinable useful lives are amortized over their respective useful lives and reviewed for impairment when circumstances warrant. Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not amortized until such useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite. Evaluation of the remaining useful life of an intangible asset that is not being amortized must be completed each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. Indefinite-lived intangible assets must be tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if warranted. Intangible assets with finite lives are generally amortized on a straight line bases over the estimated period benefited. The costs of trademarks and product distribution rights are amortized over their related useful lives of between 15 to 40 years. We review our intangible assets for events or changes in circumstances that may indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable, in which case an impairment charge is recognized currently.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax laws is recognized in the results of operations in the period the new laws are enacted. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless, it is more likely than not, that such assets will be realized. The Company has recognized no adjustment for uncertain tax provisions.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the modified prospective approach. The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees and non-employees.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share whereby basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to all classes of common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of all classes of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined in the same manner as basic earnings (loss) per share except that the number of shares is increased to assume exercise of potentially dilutive and contingently issuable shares using the treasury stock method, unless the effect of such increase would be anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, the diluted earnings per (loss) share amounts equal basic earnings (loss) per share because the Company had net losses or the impact of the assumed exercise of contingently issuable shares would have been anti-dilutive.

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

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets for accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amount reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for notes payable approximates fair value because the actual interest rates do not significantly differ from current rates offered for instruments with similar characteristics.

Recent accounting pronouncements

There are various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

3. GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern. As of October 31, 2012, the Company has stockholders' equity (deficit) of $(14,829,649) and current liabilities exceeded current assets (working capital deficit) by $14,829,649 as of October 31, 2012. The Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. For the six months ended October 31, 2012, the Company sustained a net loss of $9,453,685 compared to a net loss of $730,471 for the six months ended October 31, 2011 and used cash of approximately $892,481 in operating activities for the six months ended October 31, 2012 compared with approximately $1,647,351 for the six months ended October 31, 2011.

Our business plan includes increasing our sales from beverages and the issuance of additional equity securities of the Company for cash. If we are unable to implement our business plan or if we are delayed all or part of our business plan, our ability to attain profitable operations, generate positive cash flows from operating and investing activities and materially expand the business will be adversely affected.

The accompanying consolidated 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.

10. INVESTOR NOTES PAYABLE

On June 19, 2009, (the "Closing Date") we sold to one investor (the “Investor”) a $4,000,000 non-interest bearing debenture with a 25% ($1,000,000) original issue discount, that matures in 48 months from the Closing Date (the "Drink’s Debenture") for $3,000,000, consisting of $375,000 paid in cash at closing and eleven secured promissory notes, aggregating $2,625,000, bearing interest at the rate of 5% per annum, each maturing 50 months after the Closing Date (the “Investor Notes”). The Investor Notes, the first ten of which are in the principal amount of $250,000 and the last of which is in the principal amount of $125,000, are mandatorily pre-payable, in sequence, at the rate of one note per month commencing on January 19, 2010, subject to certain contingencies.

On December 13, 2011, the Company and the Investor entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) whereby the Investor agreed to forbear from enforcing the Investor’s remedial rights under the Loan Documents until January 1, 2013 (the “Forbearance Agreement”). Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the Debenture will remain in full force and effect and, as a result of certain defaults under the Loan Documents, the outstanding amount owed under the Debenture, including interest, fees, penalties and legal fees, was agreed to be no less than $2,000,000, with interest, fees and penalties continuing to accrue (the “Debenture Balance”). Notwithstanding the Debenture Balance, the Company and the Investor agreed to a payoff balance of $1,126,360 (the “Forbearance Amount”), which Forbearance Amount shall accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum, commencing on December 13, 2011. So long as the Company complies with the terms of the Forbearance Agreement and no further defaults occur under the Loan Documents, the Company’s obligation will be entirely satisfied upon due payment of the Forbearance Amount in accordance with the following schedule of fixed cash payments:

	· $285,360 upon execution of the Forbearance Agreement, which payment was made on December 13, 2011;
	· $50,000 to be paid on or before March 1, 2012, which payment was made on February 27, 2012;

On October 5, 2011 the Company paid the Investor $50,000 and shortly thereafter a final issuance of 77,280 shares of Common Stock which payment and issuance were credited to the Debenture Balance and the Forbearance Amount and were reflected in the amounts owed under the Debenture Balance and the Forbearance Amount.

In the event that the Company does not comply with all of its obligations or a default occurs under the Forbearance Agreement or the Loan Documents (a “Future Default”), the outstanding balance under the Debenture will be deemed to be the Debenture Balance with all accrued interest, fees and penalties, less any payments made in accordance with the payment schedule. In the event of a Future Default, the Investor will have a right to convert all or part of the Debenture Balance for shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, the Company agreed to reserve 400,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance to the lender upon such conversion. In addition, the Company entered into an Escrow Agreement whereby the Company agreed to deliver 400,000 shares (the “Forbearance Conversion Shares”) to be held in escrow. In the event of certain defaults under the Forbearance Agreement or the Debenture, the Investor will have the right to receive the Forbearance Conversion Shares, which right was memorialized in that certain letter containing Irrevocable Instructions to Transfer Agent dated December 13, 2011.

The Company’s obligations under the Debenture and the SPA were secured by a Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement” and, the Pledge Agreement together with the Debenture, the SPA and all other documents entered into in conjunction therewith or as an amendment thereto, the “Loan Documents”). Additionally, on December 13, 2011, the Company and the Investor entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) whereby the Investor agreed to forbear from enforcing the Investor’s remedial rights against certain defaults under the Loan Documents until January 1, 2013 (the “Forbearance Agreement”). Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the Debenture remained in full force and effect and, as a result of certain defaults under the Loan Documents, the outstanding amount owed under the Debenture, including interest, fees, penalties and legal fees, was agreed to be no less than $2,000,000, with interest, fees and penalties continuing to accrue (the “Debenture Balance”). Notwithstanding the Debenture Balance, the Company and the Investor agreed to a payoff balance of $1,126,360 (the “Forbearance Amount”). Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the Company made various scheduled payments towards the Forbearance Amount. However, the Company was unable to pay the final payment for $408,000 plus all accrued and unpaid interest on or prior to its due date, January 1, 2013, or within the five business day cure period.

On January 15, 2013, the Investor delivered a notice of default (“Default Notice”) to the Company. The Default Notice contained, among other things, (i) a termination of the Forbearance Agreement; (ii) a request for partial repayment of the Debenture Balance by release, pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, of 400,000 shares of the Company’s Common stock held in escrow; (iii) a demand for the immediate and accelerated payment of all amounts due under the Debenture and/or Forbearance Agreement equal to $2,149,888.

October 15, 2012 Debenture

On October 15, 2012, the Company sold a $325,000 convertible debenture (the “Convertible Debenture”) to one accredited investor (the “Holder”). The proceeds to the Company were $250,000 and the Convertible Debenture contained an original issue discount of $75,000. The Convertible Debenture bears a 0% interest rate, an 18% default interest rate and matured on January 15, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”). In connection with the sale of the Convertible Debenture, the Company, the Holder and a pledgor (the “Pledgor”), an entity owned by the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Federico Cabo, entered into a security interest and pledge agreement (the “Security Agreement”) whereby the Pledgor, deposited 2,000,000 shares (the “Pledge Shares”) of the Company’s common stock as security for the performance of the Company under the Convertible Debenture.

On January 15, 2013, the Company received a letter of default (“Letter of Default”) for the nonpayment of the $325,000 due to the Holder on the Maturity Date. In the Letter of Default, the Holder declared the Company’s default under the Convertible Debenture and demanded the release of the Pledge Shares pursuant to the Security Agreement.

Results of Operations

Three months Ended October 31, 2012 Compared to Three months Ended October 31, 2011

Net Sales: Net sales were approximately $1,931,456 for the three months ended October 31, 2012 compared to net sales of approximately $1,270,589 for the same period last year, an increase of 52% as a result of the Company’s sales of products from the license agreement with Worldwide Beverage Imports.

Gain on disposal of product line: During the six months ended October 31, 2011, we exchanged 42% of our interest in Olifant U.S.A, Inc. for the cancellation of our remaining outstanding debt obligation and related accrued interest. With the exchange, we reduced our ownership to 48% and realized a gain on sale of the product line of approximately $280,478 compared to $0 for the six months ended October 31, 2012.

Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern. As of October 31, 2012, the Company has shareholders' equity (deficit) of approximately $(14,829,649) and working capital deficiency of approximately $14,829,649 as of October 31, 2012 and has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows since inception. For the six months ended October 31, 2012, the Company sustained an operating loss of approximately $9,453,253 compared to an operating loss of $730,471 for the six months ended October 31, 2011 and used cash of approximately $892,481 in operating activities for the six months ended October 31, 2012 compared with approximately $1,647,351 for the six months ended October 31, 2011. We have converted certain liabilities into equity. The accompanying consolidated 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. Without substantial inflows of cash from the sale of our equity, together with successful negotiations with our legacy creditors to convert our debts to equity, the Company will be unable to continue as an ongoing concern.

We will need to continue to manage carefully our working capital and our business decisions will continue to be influenced by our working capital requirements.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities: Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended October 31, 2012 was approximately $892,481, primarily from our loss of approximately $9,453,685 net with non cash activities of approximately $13,518 depreciation, $425,963 stock based compensation, $5,295,700 impairment losses, $2,964,290 changes in operating assets and sundry other non-cash activities (primarily decreases in our accounts receivable and inventory). We have to date funded some of our operations predominantly through loans from shareholders, officers and investors.

Net Cash provided by Investing Activities: Nil for the six months ended October 31, 2012 and 2011.

Net Cash provided by Financing Activities: Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended October 31, 2012 was approximately $603,154 primarily from net proceeds from related party line of credit, convertible debt and notes payable.

Based on our current operating activities and plans, we believe without new sources of financings the Company will not have sufficient cash for its requirements over the next twelve months.

Impact of Inflation

Although management expects that our operations will be influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our results of operations.

Seasonality

Generally, the second and third quarters of our fiscal year (August-January) are the periods that we realize our greatest sales as a result of sales of alcoholic beverages during the holiday season. During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year (February-April), we generally realize our lowest sales volume as a result of our distributors decreasing their inventory levels, which typically remain on hand after the holiday season.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required under the SEC's rules and forms and that the information is gathered and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 31, 2012, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 31, 2012, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective due to the Company’s inability to file this quarterly report within the period specified by the SEC, the Company’s ineffective period end closing procedures, and the Company’s lack of competent accounting staff.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
