ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
The following should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report. The discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.
Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd. (formerly Legacy Mining Ltd.) (Legacy or the Company) was incorporated on February 19, 1999 in the State of Nevada as Power Direct Tech.com. On February 23, 1999, the Company changed its name to PD Tech.com and on June 8, 1999 the Company changed its name to Cardstakes.com to reflect managements decision to shift the Companys focus to internet-based business development. On January 13, 2004, the Company changed its name to Legacy Mining Ltd. to reflect managements decision to shift the Companys focus to mineral exploration and development. We also declared a one-for-two reverse stock split of all of the outstanding common stock, without any change in par value of the shares of common stock. Shareholder approval was obtained to affect the reverse stock split which became effective on January 30, 2004. The new CUSIP number for the Company is 5246EP 10 3.
On December 12, 2006, Legacy filed a Form SB-2 Registration Statement with the United States Security Commission. Following a number of amendments, the SB-2/A was declared effective on August 3, 2007. The trading symbol is LEYM.
On April 4, 2008, the Company held a Special Meeting whereby the Board of Directors, by unanimous consent, adopted, effective May 2, 2008, the following amendments to its Articles of Incorporation:
Name Change. A majority of the shareholders entitled to vote on such matters approved a change of name from Legacy Mining Ltd. to Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd. On April 8, 2008, a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation was filed with the State of Nevada changing the name to Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd.
Change of Symbol and CUSIP Number. The Company also took the necessary steps to change its symbol and CUSIP Number. Therefore, the CUSIP Number has changed from 5246EP 10 3 to 52470N 10 1. Following the review of the NASD and FINRA, the Company was given a new effective date for trading. Effective at the opening of business on May 27, 2008, the symbol changed from LEYM to LWSP.
On October 13, 2010, the Company was removed from the bulletin board to the pinksheets for failure to comply with Rule 15c2-11 whereby the frequency of market maker quotations did not meet the requirements of the Rule. The Company is taking the necessary steps to be in compliance with Rule 15c2-11 and be able to return to the OTC Bulletin Board for quotations in due course.
Our Wine & Spirits Operation
On May 28, 2008 Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd. reported that it had signed an agreement with Legacy Wine and Spirits Merchants Ltd (Legacy Merchants) a Hong Kong based Company, for the rights to a fifteen (15) year general license to import, bottle, blend, manufacture and distribute wine and spirits in China. Legacy Merchants received 1,000,000 shares of the Companys Rule 144 stock valued at $960,000 for the rights to the aforementioned license through its agreement with Beijing Nine Dragons Winery Development Co. Ltd (Nine Dragons) a China based company. Through Legacy Merchants and its agreement with Crown Star Holdings Ltd, an alcoholic beverage sourcing company with offices in Canada and Hong Kong, the Company has access to a wide selection of fine wine and spirits. The Companys initial plans were to open at least two (2) wine and spirits retail stores to be located in Beijing, China by September, 2008 for the distribution of its imported products.
3
Through a number of delays after the completion of the Beijing 2008 Olympics, the plan has changed. Legacy renovated one (1) 1,900 sq.ft. store in Tianjin, China completed in November, 2008. This store is named Legacy Wine and Spirits and has initially stocked imported red and white wines from choice regions throughout the world. This initial store will be a flagship model for a franchising plan designed to further broaden the Companys distribution facilities and gain further market awareness and penetration of the Legacy brand. Once the Legacy retail stores have been established, the Company will exercise its First Right of Refusal to start-up its manufacturing facility in Beijing through Legacy Merchants agreement with Nine Dragons.
In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company conducted an impairment analysis on the $1,025,100 attributed value of its intangible assets, including its license with Legacy Merchants valued at $960,000. These tests involved the use of estimates and assumptions appropriate in the circumstances in accordance with ASC 35-25-35:Subsequet measurement. In assessing fair value, valuation models were used that include discounted cash flows. The models use assumptions that include levels of growth in assets under management from net sales and market, pricing and margin changes, synergies achieved on acquisition, discount rates, and observable data for comparable transactions. This analysis of expected future cash flows determined that the sum of future expected cash flows does not exceed the respective net book value of the license and resulted in a write-down of the intangible asset in the amount of $872,225.(2009 - $Nil)
On June 24, 2008 Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd. reported that it had signed a Distribution Agreement with a Canadian based supplier of Italian wines, 2174684 Ontario Inc. This Agreement provided for the supply of select bottled wines at the mid-range price-point from six (6) different wine regions in Italy. The Company was at this time in talks with distributors and wineries in both Spain and California with regards to a Distribution Agreement for wine supply from those parts. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company decided to terminate its distribution agreement with 2174684 Ontario Inc. and it was refunded its $45,000 advance.
Thereafter, the Company secured a relationship with Bronco Wine Company of California and purchased its initial inventory of nine varietals of wine on September 26, 2008 for the purchase price of $37,800. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, 1050 cases of wine were shipped to China and displayed for the opening of the first wine store in December 2008.
The Company has also incurred $10,000 in costs for sourcing of product and brands with wine & spirits manufacturers in China. As at December 31, 2010, the inventory totaled $20,551 (2009- $39,863).
Bronco Wine Company is the single largest private grape grower in the world with ownership of 17,000 hectares of wine grapes and five Californian wineries. Legacy is importing 750 ml bottled wines in several varietals of Bronco Winerys Hacienda Cellars Brand from Sonoma County, California.
The Hacienda brand from Bronco Winery will include Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Viognier, White Zinfandel and Brut Sparkling Wine. All wine varietals are aimed at the mid-price point and will be distributed and retailed in China via wholesale retailers and Legacys own outlet showroom which caters to the retail buyer as well, located in TEDA, Tianjin, a second tier city of over 10 million people just outside of Beijing
The Company has a three phase of business operation:
Phase One:
Legacy opened the initial corporately owned wine and spirits retail store in Tianjin, China in December, 2008. This retail store was stocked with select, moderately priced imported wines and has served as the design and sales model for all franchise boutiques opened thereafter. This phase enabled Legacy to establish its brand name and retail stores through Point of Purchase marketing and taste appreciation gatherings. In addition, this phase will enable Legacy to secure purchase orders from wholesale distributors for its Bottled Exclusively for Legacy wine and spirits line. This phase moves the Company towards the establishment of the Legacy brand.
4
Phase Two:
Legacy has $85,000 reserved for leasehold improvements required to be made to future store locations. Additionally, the Company is currently working towards leasing and renovating an additional existing wine and spirit store in China. These stores are located in and around the Company's flagship store in Tianjin Economic Development Area (TEDA).which Legacy intends to have these operating in the 2011 year.
The location of these stores were strategically chosen for logistic reasons since this will enable the current Legacy staff to move between each store implementing the protocol and standards that Legacy Stores will be known for in China. A Legacy Wine and Spirits store should signify a reliable place for locals or foreigners to purchase their alcohol of choice whether it be for gift giving or personal consumption. , Legacy's management feels that it will be advantageous to integrate these existing operating entities into a chain of Legacy retail outlets thus solidifying the Company's corporate branding. This move will greatly expedite the Company's ability to distribute its inventory and increase its brand awareness in China. The proposed acquisition will enable Legacy to have the economy of scale working in their favor in terms of sales multiples and purchasing capabilities with wine and spirit suppliers and vendors.
Through its agreement with Beijing Nine Dragons Winery Development Co. Ltd., Legacy will start importing select wine and spirits to be bottled in-house and distributed by the Company to Legacys retail outlets. This phase will allow Legacy to increase its profit margin via lower shipping costs and taxes as well as wholesale price reductions. This phase is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2011.
Phase Three:
Legacy will begin the importing of select wine juice for the purpose of blending and manufacturing its own brand label wines and spirits. This phase sees Legacy advance its market penetration, solidify its brand recognition and thus realize a further increase in its profit margin. This phase is expected in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Approximately 40 percent of imported wine enters China through Shanghai, so it is natural that the city has become the base for the majority of the leading distributors. Shanghai's specialty retail wine shops are a growing phenomenon in Shanghai and are unique alternatives to traditional state-owned tobacco and liquor shops and other retail outlets. These shops have found a niche in the retail market due to their unique marketing strategies, educational events, and store locations. From wine tasting parties and definitive flavor labels to wine and food matching seminars, these small specialty shops offer a growing and personalized introduction to imported wine.
Legacy is expecting to join this market with its first wine outlet in Shanghai in 2011. The local partners currently buy wine from Legacy.
According to statistics, Xiamen, the capital city of Fujian Province, reports annual consumption volumes of wine exceeding 10,000 liters, of which 45% are premium wines. Sales volumes have been increasing by 15% each year making Xiamen one of the key wine markets in China. In addition to strong local demand for wine, Xiamen also plays an important role as a wine distribution centre to neighboring areas such as Quanzhou, Fuzhou and Zhejiang in Jiangxi province.
Legacy also intends to set up a joint venture in 2011 to aggressively enter the Xiamen market. Similar to Shanghai the local partners currently buy wine from Legacy.
In doing business in China, Legacy is required to abide by the PRC laws and regulations regarding foreign ownership and certain requirements do effect our operations. A summary of these requirements appears below:
- A foreign corporation owing a Chinese subsidiary would normally have to maintain a certain balance at the bank unless a Chinese citizen holds the subsidiary shares. The shares in Tianjin Legacy Wine Trading Co. Ltd. are held in trust by a Chinese citizen (Dennis Zhao, Manager) on behalf of Legacy.
5
- We have to remit taxes to the government not only at the point of receiving imported wine, but also on the sale of wine.
- We have to pre-submit the labels to all wine being imported to China to the authorities so they can match them to the products when they arrive at Customs.
- We have to have Chinese labeling done in China.
- The Pudong bank account we maintain takes a 1% processing fee on all deposits under a certain amount.
- We have to have an annual business license and health certificate.
- The majority of suppliers in China have a policy that cash is the only acceptable form of payment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, we had total assets of $227,101, compared to total assets in 2009 of $1,205,395. This includes a cash balance of $3,665, compared to $6,743 in 2009. We also have inventory of $20,551 and prepaid expenses of $5,171. We had $101,520 invested in leasehold improvements, $85,000 on deposit for future leasehold improvements, intangible assets of $10,500 and $694 in furniture and fixtures.
At December 31, 2010, we had current liabilities of $97,391, which was represented by accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $57,779 and $39,612 total due to related parties. At December 31, 2009 we had current liabilities of $269,102. The decrease in liabilities was due to a debt settlement with Golden Spirit Enterprises Ltd. and Organa Gardens International Inc of $204,063 which was offset by an increase in amounts due to other related parties.
At December 31, 2010, we had a working capital deficiency of $68,004 (2009 deficiency- $211,625).
We do not believe that our current cash resources will be able to maintain our current operations for an extended period of time. We will be required to raise additional funds or arrange for additional financing over the next 12 months to adhere to our development schedule. No assurance can be given, however, that we will have access to additional cash in the future, or that funds will be available on acceptable terms to satisfy our working capital requirements. If we are not able to arrange for additional funding or if our officers, directors and shareholders stop advancing funds to us, we may be forced to make other arrangements for financing such as loans or entering into strategic alliances. We have not identified any alternative sources of financing.

Results of Operations
We had $77,079 in revenues from operations from inception to December 31, 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2010 we recognized a net operating loss totaling $1,536,307 (2009 - $568,263). This increase in loss was due to the write-down of intangible assets liquor license of $872,225.
From inception to December 31, 2010 our Company has incurred cumulative net losses of $4,597,828, resulting primarily from the write-down of certain internet related activities we were previously involved in. These included a write-down of a proprietary internet technology license in the amount of $912,653, a write-down of URLs acquired in the amount of $247,500, a write-down of website development costs in the amount of $158,772, and a write-down of intangible assets liquor license of $872,225; management and consulting fees of $1,188,531; travel and accommodation of $128,143; office and general expenses of $479,829 professional fees of $384,175; depreciation and amortization expense of $192,846 and exploration costs of $17,214.
The cash and equivalents constitute our present internal sources of liquidity. Because we are not generating significant revenues as of yet our only external source of liquidity is the sale of our capital stock and any advances from officers, directors or shareholders.
Our Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months
We do anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital within the next 12 months in order to continue as a going concern. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or equity- related securities, the issuance of such securities could result in dilution of our stockholders. There can be no assurance that additional funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available within the next 12 months, we may be required to curtail our operations significantly or to obtain funds through entering into arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our assets that we would not otherwise relinquish.
Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd. does anticipate some expenditures within the next 12 months for its expanding wine operations in China.
Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd. does not anticipate any further significant exploration costs within the next 12 months, nor does Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd. anticipate that it will lease or purchase any significant equipment within the next 12 months.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd.
Patchogue, New York
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd. (formerly Legacy Mining Ltd.) (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity , and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2010 and for the cumulative period from February 19, 1999 (inception) to December 31, 2010. Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd.s management is responsible for these statements. 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 provides 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 Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its activities and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2010 and for the cumulative period from February 19, 1999 (inception) to December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Companys current liabilities exceed current assets, has incurred significant losses since inception, all of which raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(A development stage company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2010 and 2009 |
NOTE 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd. (formerly Legacy Mining Ltd.) (Legacy or the Company) was incorporated on February 19, 1999 in the State of Nevada as Power Direct Tech.com. On February 23, 1999, the Company changed its name to PD Tech.com and on June 8, 1999 the Company changed its name to Cardstakes.com to reflect managements decision to shift the Companys focus to internet-based business development. On January 13, 2004, the Company changed its name to Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd. to reflect managements decision to shift the Companys focus to mineral exploration and development. In 2007, the Company filed a Registration Statement Form SB-2/A to become a fully reporting Company on the OTC: BB and on October 30, 2007, began trading under the symbol LEYM. In 2008, due to uncertainties in the financing of mineral exploration and development, management decided to shift the Company focus to the wine & spirits industry. On May 2, 2008, the Company changed its name to Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd. and on May 27, 2008, the Company began trading under the symbol LWSP.
Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company is an development stage company and its general business is the operation of a wine store in Tianjin, China.. The Company will depend almost exclusively on outside capital through the issuance of common shares to finance ongoing operating losses and to fund the wine operations The Company has incurred losses of $4,987,328 from inception to December 31, 2010 and has a working capital deficiency of $68,004. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital and ultimately on generating future profitable operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the necessary funds when needed to finance its ongoing costs.
The Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including cash flow from operations, costs to complete property development, if warranted, and competition and global market conditions. The Company's anticipated recurring operating losses and growing working capital needs will require that it obtain additional capital to operate its business.
Given the Company's limited operating history, lack of revenues, and its operating losses, there can be no assurance that it will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, a 100% interest in Tianjin Legacy Wine Trading Co. Ltd. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented In United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles accepted in the United States.
20
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Preparation of the Companys financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Equipment
Equipment is carried at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets on a straightline basis.
Leasehold Improvements
Leasehold Improvements is carried at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the shorter of the lease term, which generally includes reasonably assured option periods, or the estimated useful lives of the assets on straight line basis per annum.
Intangible Assets
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350 , Intangibles-Goodwill and Other requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350. This standard also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment. The Company's intangible assets consist of the acquisition of the license to import and distribute wine & liquor products and various brands and labels. The Company determined that the intangibles have an estimated useful life of 15 years and will be reviewed annually for impairment. Amortization will be recorded over the estimated useful life of the assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company commenced amortization when the economic benefits of the assets begin to be consumed in December 2008. Other intangibles are carried at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets on straight line basis per annum.
Definite life intangible assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. These tests involve the use of estimates and assumptions appropriate in the circumstances. In assessing fair value, valuation models are used that include discounted cash flows. The models use assumptions that include levels of growth in assets under management from net sales and market, pricing and margin changes, synergies achieved on acquisition, discount rates, and observable data for comparable transactions. As of December 31, 2010, the Company believes there is an impairment of its intangible assets and has recorded a write-down in the value of the intangible in the amount of $872,225.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Cash in bank accounts is at risk to the extent that it exceeds U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation insured amounts. To minimize risk, the Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions. All cash for the U.S. Corporation is deposited in one prominent Canadian financial institution and the Chinese Subsidiary maintains a bank account with a prominent Chinese financial institution.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities, including cash, notes receivable, accounts payable, and amounts due to related parties approximate their carrying value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial position and results of operations of the Tianjin Wine Trading Co. Ltd. operations are measured using the parents currency as the functional currency. Non monetary assets and liabilities of these operations are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities of these operations are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Income statement accounts, with the exception of amortized assets or liabilities, are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in exchange gain or loss in the income statement. Gains and losses that result from foreign currency transactions are included in the calculation of net income (loss).
21
Inventory
Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Revenue Recognition
Sales are recognized upon purchase by customers at our retail store. All sales at our retail store are final, allowing for no sales returns.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets that do not meet the criteria for recognition. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
The Company follows the accounting guidance which provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized initially and in subsequent periods. Also included is guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for all compensation related to stock, options or warrants using a fair value based method whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of options and warrants issued to both employees and non-employees. Stock issued for compensation is valued using the market price of the stock on the date of the related agreement.
Comparative figures
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year's financial statement presentation
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 :Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (Topic 820) regarding fair value measurements and disclosures and improvement in the disclosure about fair value measurements. This ASU requires additional disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of fair value measurements, including a description of the reasons for the transfers. Further, this ASU requires additional disclosures for the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, requiring presentation of information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU, however, we do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
22
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. The ASU amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 310, Receivables, to improve the disclosures that an entity provides about the credit quality of its financing receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. As a result of these amendments, an entity is required to disaggregate, by portfolio segment or class of financing receivables, certain existing disclosures and provide certain new disclosures about its financing receivables and related allowance for credit losses. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this standard may require additional disclosures, but we do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
On December 21, 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-29:Business Combinations (Topic 805), which impacts any public entity that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. The guidance specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenues and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the year had occurred at the beginning of the prior annual period when preparing the pro forma financial information for both the current and prior reporting periods. The guidance also requires that pro forma disclosures be accompanied by a narrative description regarding the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in reported pro forma revenues and earnings. This guidance is effective for business combinations consummated in periods beginning after December 15, 2010. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
is designed to simplify U.S. GAAP into a single, topically ordered structure. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Accordingly, the Company refers to the Codification in respect of the appropriate accounting standards throughout this document as FASB ASC. Implementation of the Codification did not have any impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
Potential benefits of United States Federal income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has combined net operating losses carried forward totaling approximately $4,598,000 for tax purposes which expire through 2030. Availability of loss usage is subject to change of ownership limitations under Internal Revenue Code 382 for 2002 and prior years losses. Pursuant to ASC Topic 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry forwards.
A reconciliation of income tax computed at the federal and state statutory tax rates is as follows:
Year ended December 31, 2010 | Year ended December 31, 2009 | |
Federal income tax provision at statutory rate | (35.00)% | (35.00)% |
State income tax provision at statutory rate, net of federal income tax effect | (0.00) | (0.00) |
Total income tax provision rate | (35.00)% | (35.00)% |
The actual income tax provisions differ from the expected amounts calculated by applying the federal income tax statutory rate to the Companys loss before income taxes. The components of these differences are as follows:
Year ended December 31, 2010 | Year ended December 31, 2009 | ||
Loss before income taxes | $ (1,536,307) | $ (568,263) | |
Corporate tax rate | 35.00% | 35.00% | |

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There have been no disagreements with Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd.'s auditors since formation of the company that require disclosure pursuant to Item 304 of Regulation S-B.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a system of internal and disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer they have concluded that, as of the evaluation date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them on a timely basis to material information relating to us required to be included in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act.
Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in the framework in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management determined that, during the year ended December 31, 2010, our internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules, as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies in the design or operation of the Companys internal control that adversely affected the Companys internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
Management identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting:
1.
The Company has limited segregation of duties with respect to its operations in the Peoples Republic of China, which is not consistent with good internal control procedures.
2.
The Company does not have a written internal control procedurals manual which outlines the duties and reporting requirements of the Directors and any staff to be hired in the future. This lack of a written internal control procedurals manual does not meet the requirements of the SEC or good internal controls.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items 1 and 2 above did not have an affect on the Companys financial results.
The Company and its management will endeavor to correct the above noted weaknesses in internal control as it begins to expand its operations in the Peoples Republic of China and once it has adequate funds to do so. Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the Companys internal controls and procedures and its internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only managements report in this Annual Report.
Changes In Internal Controls
No changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting occurred during the year ended December 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
29
Code of Ethics
We intend to adopt a code of ethics in 2011 that applies to our principle executive officer, principal financial officer, principle accounting officer or controller, other persons performing similar functions. We intend to post the text of our code of ethics on our website in connection with our "Investor Relations" materials. In addition, we intend to promptly disclose (1) the nature of any amendment to our code of ethics that applies to our principle executive officer principal financial officer, principle accounting officer or controller, other persons performing similar functions (2) the nature of any wavier, including an implicit wavier, from a provision of our code of ethics that is granted to one of these specific officers, the name of such person who is granted the waiver and the date of the waiver on our web site in the future.
We do not currently have a code of ethics as this is a new regulatory requirement and we are examining the various form and contents of other companies written code of ethics, discussing the merits and meaning of a code of ethics to determine the best form for our Company.
