NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 AND 2009
 
 
1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Capital Beverage Corporation (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be experienced for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.
 
The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, which was filed on April 14, 2010.
 
The Company’s plan of operation for the next twelve months shall be to locate a suitable acquisition or merger candidate.  The Company is not currently engaged in any business activities that provide cash flow.
 
2.    GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which presumes that the Company will be able to continue to meet its obligations and realize its assets in the normal course of business.
 
The Company has not generated revenue since the sale of assets in December 2005. As a result, current operations are not an adequate source of cash to fund future operations. The report of the independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2009 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain necessary financing to meet obligations and repay its liabilities when they become due or be acquired by an operating company.  There are no assurances that the Company will have sufficient funds to pay its obligations as they become due or be acquired by an operating company

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 AND 2009
 

3.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in banks in demand and time deposit accounts with maturities of 90 days or less.
 
Income Taxes – The Company follows ASC 740 – Accounting  – Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
 
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Loss per Common Share – Net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Potential common shares includable in the computation of fully diluted per share results are not presented in the financial statements as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements – On June 5, 2003, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted final rules under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”), as amended by SEC Release No. 33-9072 On October 13, 2009.  Commencing with its annual report for the year ending December 31, 2010, the Company will be required to include a report of management on its internal control over financial reporting.  The internal control report must include a statement of:
 
-  
Management’s responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over its financial reporting;
 
-  
Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of year-end; and
 
-  
The framework used by management to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
Furthermore, it is required to file the auditor’s attestation report separately on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting on whether it believes that the Company has maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting.
 
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

6.    LITIGATION
 
On June 26, 2007, the Company filed a complaint against Oak Beverages, Inc. (“Oak”), Victoria Beverage, Inc. (“Victoria”), and Dealy & Silberstein, LLP, solely in its capacity as escrow agent, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”), seeking a declaratory judgment that, under the parties’ Asset Purchase Agreement, dated September 15, 2005 and Escrow Agreement, dated December 16, 2005, the Company is not required to indemnify Oak and Victoria for unemployment insurance contributions based on the experience rating account held by Oak and maintained by the State of New York Department of Labor (“NYDOL”).  
 
On July 23, 2007, Oak and Victoria filed with the Court an answer, counterclaim, and cross-claim in response to the Company’s complaint alleging that the Asset Purchase Agreement was “deliberately structured” such that any liability, which would include the disputed unemployment taxes, would be retained by the Company post-closing and would not be transferred to Oak.  On August 15, 2007, the Company filed a reply to Oak and Victoria’s counterclaim.
 
On August 6, 2008, the parties reached a settlement agreement.  The settlement provided that the Company pay Oak the sum of $100,000.00 in full settlement of all claims.  The settlement also provided that the balance of the funds held in escrow, be released to the Company with the exception of the amount of $55,739.00 which will continue to be held in escrow in connection with a unrelated pending claim asserted by a third party.  The settlement agreement was executed as of August 28, 2008 and included a Joint Stipulation and Order of Dismissal with Prejudice (the “Joint Stipulation”), which was signed by all parties.  Judge Buchwald signed and entered the Joint Stipulation on September 8, 2008, which formally concluded the action.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 AND 2009
 

In January 2009, the Company settled a claim made by the Pabst Brewing Company (Pabst Claim) for $27,869.50 which represents one half of the Pabst Claim.  At January 30, 2009 the total amount held in escrow was $55,875.50 including accrued interest of $136.50.  On January 30, 2009, the escrow agent issued the Company a check for $22,006 which represents the balance remaining in escrow after payment of the Pabst Claim settlement and $6,000 in fees owed to the escrow agent.

In March 2009, a plaintiff that originally commenced an action against the Company in  September 2003 filed a Request for Judicial Intervention.  Thereafter, a preliminary conference was held on May 4, 2009.  During the conference, the Court heard argument regarding whether this case should be dismissed because of failure by the Plaintiff to prosecute the action.  The Court denied that request and directed that discovery proceed.  The plaintiff was deposed on October 22, 2009.  On December 4, 2009, Plaintiff served a Note of Issue to place this action on the trial calendar.  Thereafter, on February 2, 2010, the Company filed a motion for Summary Judgment.  That Motion has now been fully briefed and argued before the Judge on Friday April 9, 2010.  Judge has reserved decision on the Motion.  Company is awaiting the decision by the Judge which may take several months.  The Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter at this time.

In accordance with ASC 855, “Subsequent Events” the Company evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date of March 31, 2010 through May 24, 2010, which is the date the financial statements were issued.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  For this purpose any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.  Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  These statements involve unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual results to differ materially from those implied by the forward looking statements.  Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include those risks identified in “Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other risks identified in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and presented elsewhere by management from time to time.  Such forward-looking statements represent management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain.  Investors are warned that actual results may differ from management’s expectations.

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

The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company’s results of operations and financial operations and financial conditions.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.

As of December 16, 2005, the Company closed the sale of the Assets to Oak, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

The Company intends to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as we are subject to those requirements.  We have an obligation to continue to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, even though compliance with such reporting requirements is economically burdensome.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company had no revenue from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
 
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $82,726, which consisted mostly of legal fees, professional fees and the salary and expenses to our only remaining employee.  General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $88,391.

At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, we had working capital deficits of ($1,442,194) and ($1,359,468), respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results or operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

New Accounting Standards
 
Please see Note 3 of the Notes to Financial Statements in this quarterly report concerning new accounting standards.


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

All of the Company’s indebtedness that would have posed an interest rate risk have been paid in full. As a result, the Company no longer has an interest rate risk.
 
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation as of March 31, 2010, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in enabling us to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings within the required time period.

More specifically, we determined our controls were not effective due to a lack of sufficient personnel with appropriate knowledge, experience and training in U.S. GAAP resulting in a lack of sufficient analysis and documentation of the application of U.S. GAAP to transactions.
 
Due to our small size and limited financial resources, our part-time outside accountant has been the only individual involved in our accounting and financial reporting.  As a result, there has been no segregation of duties within the accounting function.  This lack of segregation of duties represents a material weakness.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting 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.
