Explanation of Change for Results of Operation

For the Year Ended April 30, 2013

It is anticipated that a significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the Form 10-K. The registrant anticipates its results of operations to reflect a decrease in gross sales for the year ended March 30, 2013 from the year ended March 30, 2012. The decrease in gross sales is attributable to the termination of the distribution rights it previously acquired from Worldwide Beverage Imports, LLC. Furthermore, the registrant anticipates its results of operations to reflect a decrease in total operating expenses. The decrease in expenses were attributable to decreased sales commissions, marketing and sales expenses related to the decrease in revenues, brand ambassadors and selling staff associated with the Company’s decreased sales.
