Item 3.    Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

     As of May 4, 2001,  the Issuer and  Prospect  Beverages,  Inc.,  a New York
corporation ("Prospect") entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement"),  pursuant to which on June 29, 2001,  the Issuer  acquired  certain
assets and liabilities of Prospect (the "Asset Purchase").

     Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,  the Issuer purchased all of the assets
of Prospect's  business  which related to  Prospect's  business of  distributing
beverages,  including among other things, beer distribution rights,  properties,
rights,  leases,  interests,  goods and customer lists of Prospect. The purchase
price of the  assets  consisted  of the  assumption  by the  Issuer  of  certain
liabilities  of  Prospect  and the  issuance  of an  aggregate  of five  hundred
thousand   (500,000)  shares  of  the  Common  Stock  of  the  Issuer  to  Monty
Matrisciani, Daniel Matrisciani and Alex Matrisciani,  shareholders of Prospect.
In addition,  Michael  Matriciani,  an officer of Prospect,  joined the Board of
Directors of the Issuer.

     As a  condition  to the  closing of the  Purchase  Agreement,  the  parties
thereto  were  required to enter into a voting  agreement.  As of June 29, 2001,
Carmine  Stella  and  Anthony  Stella  (collectively  referred  to herein as the
"Capital  Stockholders"),   Monty  Matrisciani,  Michael  Mastrisciani,   Daniel
Matrisciani  and  Alex  Matrisciani  (collectively  referred  to  herein  as the
"Prospect  Stockholders"),  the  Issuer  and  Prospect  entered  into  a  Voting
Agreement (the "Voting Agreement").

     Commencing upon the first annual meeting of the Issuer's stockholders after
June 29, 2001,  which will be held not later than  September 30, 2001 and during
the term of the Voting  Agreement,  the parties  agreed that the Issuer shall be
governed by a Board of Directors  (the "Board") of eight (8) members (or six (6)
if the parties  agree).  Pursuant to the Voting  Agreement,  the directors shall
serve for periods of one year (the first  period  commencing  on the date of the
annual  meeting of  stockholders  or sooner if elected prior  thereto) and until
their successors are elected at the next annual meeting of the stockholders,  at
any  special  meeting,  or by  majority  written  consent,  as the  case may be.
Pursuant to the Voting Agreement,  the Board shall nominate and recommend to the
stockholders  of the Issuer  eight (8)  nominees (or six (6) as the case may be)
for  election  to the  Board,  50% of  whom  shall  be  chosen  by the  Prospect
Stockholders in their sole and absolute discretion ("Prospect Nominees") and 50%
of whom shall be chosen by the Capital  Stockholders  in their sole and absolute
discretion  (Capital  Nominees").  The  parties  agreed that the Board shall not
nominate a person for  election  whose  employment  has been  terminated  by the
Issuer for cause.

     However, the Voting Agreement provides that if the securities of Issuer are
no longer listed on The Nasdaq Smallcap Market ("Nasdaq"),  the Board shall take
immediate  action to appoint the new board  prior to the next annual  meeting of
shareholders.  In  addition,  the Prospect  Stockholders  may request the Board,
prior to the next annual  meeting,  to seek  permission from Nasdaq to elect the
new board prior to the next annual meeting of shareholders, without the need for
such meeting.  As of June 18, 2001,  the  securities of the Issuer are no longer
listed on Nasdaq.

     Each Prospect  Stockholder and each Capital  Stockholder agreed that during
the term of the Voting Agreement to vote, or cause to be voted, their respective
shares of Common  Stock of Issuer and any other shares  acquired  after the date
hereof  (less such  shares  sold  pursuant  to Rule 144 or in other open  market
transactions)  (the  "Shares"),  in person or by proxy, in favor of the Prospect
Nominees and Capital Nominees at every meeting of the stockholders of the Issuer
at which  directors are elected to the Board and at every  adjournment  thereof.
Notwithstanding  anything  contained  therein  to the  contrary,  each  Prospect
Stockholder and Capital Stockholder may sell any of their Shares under Rule 144,
or pursuant to an  effective  registration  statement,  at which time the Shares
sold  shall be free of any  restrictions  or  obligations  imposed by the Voting
Agreement.  In connection with any such sale, the Issuer shall provide, or cause
to be provided,  such  instructions  or opinions of counsel as are  necessary to
remove all legends from such Shares.

     Notwithstanding  anything  therein to the  contrary,  if any of the Capital
Stockholders or any of the Prospect  Stockholders  ("Selling Holders") proposes,
in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, to sell, dispose of
or otherwise  transfer a majority of such  stockholders  Shares (excluding sales
made  pursuant  to Rule 144 or other  sales in the  open  market),  the  Selling
Holders shall  refrain from  effecting  such  transaction  unless,  prior to the
consummation  thereof,  each of the other  stockholders  who are  parties to the
Voting  Agreement  shall  have been  afforded  the  opportunity  to join in such
transfer.

     Prior to the consummation of any such transaction, the person or group (the
"Proposed  Purchaser")  that proposes to acquire  securities in such transaction
(the "Tag-Along  Sale") shall offer (the "Tag-Along  Purchase Offer") in writing
to each of the other  stockholders  who are parties to the Voting  Agreement the
right to include a proportionate  amount of their Shares in the proposed sale to
the Proposed Purchaser equal to the proportionate amount of the Selling Holder's
Shares being sold, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as the
Proposed  Purchaser has offered to the Selling Holders.  Each stockholder  shall
have five (5) days from the receipt of the Tag-Along  Purchase Offer in which to
accept the Tag-Along Purchase Offer.
