SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JULY 9, 2008

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

PRESTO FOOD & BEVERAGE, INC.

Shares of Common Stock

This prospectus relates to the sale by certain selling shareholders of up to 10,506,211 shares of our common stock in connection with the sale of: (a) up to 5,992,308 shares of our common stock which may be issued upon conversion of convertible debentures issued in connection with a private placement; and (b) up to 2,512,903 shares of our common stock which may be issued upon the exercise of warrants issued in connection with a private placement. This prospectus also relates to the sale of up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock that we are offering on a best efforts basis for up to ninety (90) days following the date of this Prospectus at a fixed price between $0.31 and $0.51.

Because part of this offering is being done on a best-efforts basis and there is no minimum number of shares that must be sold by us during the 90-day selling period, we may receive little or no proceeds if we are not successful in selling the shares. Our employees, officers or directors, may sell shares in the best efforts offering. None of our employees, officers or directors are registered broker-dealers; they will not receive a commission or other compensation for shares sold by them.

We will not receive any of the proceeds from shares sold by selling shareholders. We may receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants if and to the extent that any of the warrants are exercised by the selling shareholders. No person has agreed to underwrite or take down any of the securities. For sales on any trading market, sales commissions will be limited to those paid in similar market transactions. For private sale transactions, no sales commission can be paid. There is no minimum amount of securities which may be sold.

The shares offered by the selling shareholders will be sold at $0.26 per share until our shares of common stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The valuation of the initial offering price is based on the conversion price of the debentures issued in our last private placement.

INVESTING IN OUR COMMON STOCK INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. CONSIDER CAREFULLY THE “RISK FACTORS” DETAILED ON PAGE 5 OF THIS PROSPECTUS BEFORE INVESTING.

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR DETERMINED IF THIS PROSPECTUS IS TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.






The date of this prospectus is July __, 2008

GENERAL

As used in this Prospectus, references to the “Presto”, “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” refer to Presto Food & Beverage, Inc., unless otherwise indicated. In addition, references to our “financial statements” are to our consolidated financial statements except as the context otherwise requires.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary highlights some of the information in this prospectus. It may not contain all of the information that is important to you. To understand this offering fully, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the risk factors and our financial statements and the notes accompanying the financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

THE COMPANY

Where You Can Find Us

Our principal executive offices are located at 410 Park Ave, 15th Floor, New York, NY 10022. Our telephone number is (212) 406-5378. Our facsimile number is (212) 382-1492. Our website address is www.solmaya.net. The information on our website is not a part of this prospectus.

Corporate Background

We were incorporated in the state of New York in July 2001 under the name Presto Food & Beverage Company and are engaged in brand development, sales, merchandising, brand licensing and brand management of beverage and food products. Through one of our divisions, SolMaya (“Solmaya”), we manufacture, market and distribute a variety of authentic Latin American flavored dairy drinks.

Our Business

We have spent the last six years in Latin America researching and developing a unique flavoring process for our products and have, in the process, recreated the most popular flavors for lactose-based beverages, which can retain their authentic taste through the special processing. SolMaya introduced its first product, Horchata “Sabor de Morro” (“Horchata”) in September 2004. Horchata is milk-based with flavorings of rice, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and the exotic natural morro flavor, which is targeted at the Central American market. Prior to introduction, it was tested with five focus groups consisting of Hispanics in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area to verify taste and texture. SolMaya’s flavored milk product line consists of Horchata, oatmeal shake and orange jubilee.

The second product was another version of Horchata, which is designed for the tastes of the larger Mexican market. This product differs from the Central American Horchata in that it has a lighter taste and made with more rice and cinnamon flavors.

The next addition to the product line was for the South American population, Avenas con canela (an Oatmeal based drink popular among the South American segment population), Morir Soñando (a milk and juice based drink with vanilla that is popular with Dominican and Caribbean segments of the population), and other beverages that will appeal to a crossover market.

Each product is formulated for a particular segment of the Hispanic market. For planning purposes the Company sells cases in both 12oz cans and 9.5oz glass bottles (for single serve market) and anticipates adding in the near future 16oz cans for some flavors and Tetra Pak for home consumption market.

Future Prospects

We have taken the first steps to explore the possibility of expanding the SolMaya Brand presence by adding products with new flavors as well as different packaging options, as the brand is distributed in an ever increasing number of Point Of Sale locations.

Financial Condition

As of the date of the filing, we currently have approximately $250,000 in liquid funds available to us. Our current core burn rate is approximately $25,000 per month but anticipate this amount to increase when we become a public company. Future funds may be derived from additional sales of our common stock in the public or private markets in addition to the continuing sales of our products. Our only debt consists of approximately $1.5 million in convertible notes payable to certain investors, including our private placements conducted in 2007 and 2008, and long-term debt of $450,000.

THE OFFERING

Shares Outstanding Prior to Offering

17,167,461 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value.

Common Stock Offered by Selling shareholders

This prospectus relates to the resale by certain selling shareholders of up to 10,506,211 shares of our common stock in connection with the sale of: (a) up to 5,992,308 shares of our common stock which may be issued upon conversion of convertible debentures issued in connection with a private placement; and (b) up to 2,512,903 shares of our common stock which may be issued upon the exercise of warrants issued in connection with a private placement.

The shares offered by the selling shareholders will be sold at $0.26 per share until our shares of common stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The valuation of the initial offering price is based on the conversion price of the debentures issued in our last private placement. We are responsible for all other costs, expenses and fees, including legal, accounting and miscellaneous fees incurred of approximately $85,131.14 in registering the shares offered by this Prospectus. Selling shareholders will pay no offering expenses.

Use of Proceeds

We will not receive proceeds from the resale of shares of common stock by the selling shareholders. We may receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants if and to the extent that any of the warrants are exercised by the selling shareholders. We are offering the 2,000,000 shares of common stock on a best efforts basis at a fixed price between $0.31 and $0.50 per share, and accordingly we would receive gross proceeds of up to $620,000 assuming sales at $0.31 per share, or up to $1,000,000, assuming sales at $0.50 per share, in the event that we sell these shares. We intend to use the net proceeds received from the sale of the 2,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the best efforts offering for the purpose of expanding our business and for general working capital. There can be no assurance that we will sell any of such shares and accordingly may receive no proceeds from the offering.

Risk Factors

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk and should be made only after careful consideration of the significant risk factors that may affect us. Such risks include special risks concerning us and our business. See “Risk Factors.”

Dividend Policy

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception, and we do not anticipate the declaration or payment of any dividends at any time in the foreseeable future.

RISK FACTORS

General Risks

The securities offered hereby involve a substantial risk of loss. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below before making an investment in our securities. The risks and uncertainties described below are those which management currently believes may significantly affect us.

Risks Related to Our Business

We incurred historical losses as a result, we may not be able to generate profits, support our operations, or establish a return on invested capital.  

We incurred net losses in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 in the amount of $792,931 and $549,212 respectively. As of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had a stockholder deficiency of ($818,633) and ($634,538), respectively. In addition, we expect to increase our operating expenses to fund our anticipated growth. We cannot assure you that any of our business strategies will be successful or that significant revenues or profitability will ever be achieved or, if they are achieved, that they can be consistently sustained or increased on a quarterly or annual basis.

We expect our operating losses to continue

We expect to incur increased operating expenses during the next year, and possibly the foreseeable future. The amount of net losses and the time required for us to reach and sustain profitability are uncertain. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, and delays frequently encountered in connection with our business, including, but not limited to the increase in costs to be incurred for research and development, protection of our intellectual property and the marketing and delivery of our product. There can be no assurance that we will ever generate significant revenues or achieve profitability at all or on any substantial basis.

Changing consumer preferences make demand for our products unpredictable.

As is the case with other companies marketing dairy products, we are subject to changing consumer preferences and nutritional and health-related concerns. Our business could be affected by certain consumer concerns about dairy products, such as the fat, cholesterol, calorie, sodium, lactose content or contamination of such products. We are subject to increased competition from companies whose products or marketing strategies address these consumer concerns more effectively and in a more cost effective manner.

We must identify Latin American consumer preferences and develop and offer innovative products to meet their preferences.

Consumer preferences evolve over time and the success of our products depends on our ability to identify the tastes and dietary habits of our targeted consumers, Latin Americans, and to offer products that appeal to their preferences. Introduction of new products and product extensions requires significant development and marketing investment. Currently, we believe Latin Americans are trending toward health and wellness beverages. Although we have increased our innovation efforts and spend in order to capitalize on this trend, there are currently several global competitors with greater resources with whom we compete in these areas. Furthermore, if medical and other studies are released and announcements by medical and other groups are made which raise concerns over the dietary health needs of Latin Americans it could adversely affect our targeted consumer base. If our products fail to meet consumer preferences, the return on our investment in those areas will be less than anticipated and our innovation strategy will not succeed.

Possible volatility of raw milk costs makes our operating costs difficult to predict, and a steep cost increase could cause our profits to diminish significantly.

There is a risk of price volatility in the dairy industry, making our net income difficult to predict. If prices escalate, our costs will rise which will lead to a decrease in profits.



5





The dairy business is highly competitive and, therefore, we face substantial competition in connection with the marketing and sale of our products.

In general, milk products are price sensitive and affected by many factors beyond our control, including changes in consumer tastes, fluctuating commodity prices and changes in supply due to weather, production, feed costs and natural disasters. Our products compete with other premium quality dairy brands as well as less expensive, non-premium brands. Most of our competitors are well established, have significant financial, marketing, personnel and other resources and have products that have gained wide customer acceptance in the marketplace. In particular, Nestle pioneered the single serve extended shelf life plastic re-sealable bottle which has become the standard for this industry, and they currently enjoy a dominant market share. Dean Foods owns a number of regional single serve brands that are sold in this format. Our analysis indicates that the Nestle’s Nesquik brand accounts for approximately 30-35 percent of the U.S. single serve milk category. The other competition comes from private label and regional dairy brands. Furthermore, the dairy industry is also characterized by the frequent introduction of new products, accompanied by substantial promotional campaigns. We may be unable to compete successfully or our competitors may develop products which have superior qualities or gain wider market acceptance than ours.

We are unlikely to be able to continue as a going concern in the event we are unable to obtain additional financing.

The audited financial statements included with this prospectus have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the audited financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

We face the potential risk of product liability associated with food products.

We face the risk of liability in connection with the sale and consumption of milk products should the consumption of such products cause injury, illness or death. We currently maintain product liability insurance, which may be insufficient to cover potential claims or the level of insurance coverage needed may be unavailable at a reasonable cost. A partially or completely uninsured successful claim against us would drive up our costs to defend such claim or pay damages and could cause reputational damage which would hurt our revenues. Either of these results would in turn reduce our profitability.

Adverse medical research relating to milk and demand for milk could decrease the demand for our products.

Periodically, medical and other studies are released and announcements by medical and other groups are made which raise concerns over the healthfulness of cow’s milk in the human diet. A study may be published or an announcement made concerning the healthfulness of cow’s milk which may result in a decrease in demand for dairy products.

Many of our corporate actions may be controlled by our officers, directors and principal stockholders; these actions may benefit these principal stockholders more than our other stockholders.

As of June 25, 2008, our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders beneficially own, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate, on a fully diluted basis, approximately 84.57% of our outstanding Common Stock. In particular, as of the filing date, these stockholders will have significant influence over our business affairs, with the ability to control matters requiring approval by our security holders, including elections of directors and approvals of mergers or other business combinations. Also, certain corporate actions directed by our officers may not necessarily correlate to the proportional benefits of other stockholders of our company.

We depend upon common carriers to ship our products to our customers; Our shipping costs and the dependability of our carriers are therefore beyond our control.

We use common carriers to distribute our products. Any disruption in our distribution system or increase in its costs is therefore beyond our control and could have a material adverse impact on our business.



6





Possible increase in energy costs makes our operating costs difficult to predict; A steep cost increase could cause our profits to diminish significantly.

Significant increases in gas and energy prices could adversely affect our operating costs, which would in turn diminish our profit margin.

Industry-Wide factors relevant to the Company

While retail milk sales have been flat to slightly declining over the past five years, there have been growth niches within this industry. For instance, organic milk sales increased 77% from 1999 to 2004, and single serve flavored milk consumption doubled from 1997 to 2003, while flavored milk sales grew 10.2% in 2004. Furthermore, reduced fat flavored milk sales increased 29% from 2002 to 2006. Our efforts in 2007 and 2008 have focused on market segments that have exhibited this continued growth.These efforts are consistent with our overall business strategy of exploiting market trends with the quick development of new and innovative products.

We may not realize anticipated benefits from our multi-year initiatives.

We have several multi-year initiatives underway, which we believe are necessary in order to position our business for future success and growth. These initiatives include the following: centralizing certain of our functions, including our finance and analytical systems; and optimizing our manufacturing and distribution capabilities. Over the next several years, these initiatives will require investments in people, systems, tools and facilities. Our future success and earnings growth depends in part on our ability to reduce costs, improve efficiencies and better serve our customers. If we are unable to successfully implement these initiatives, or fail to implement them as timely as we anticipate, we could become cost disadvantaged in the market place, lose customers, and experience declines in market share.

The loss of one of our largest distributors could negatively impact our sales and profits.

We depend on a few distributors and sub-distributors to whom we sell our product. At present, we believe that we have maintained good business relationships with each of these distributors and sub-distributors. However, no assurance can be made that such relationships will continue in the future. The loss of any one of these distributors could negatively impact our sales volumes and our overall profit.

We may experience liabilities or negative effects on our reputation as a result of product recalls, product injuries or other legal claims.

We sell products for human consumption, which involves a number of legal risks. Product contamination, spoilage or other adulteration, product misbranding or product tampering could require us to recall products. We also may be subject to liability if our products or operations violate applicable laws or regulations or in the event our products cause injury, illness or death. In addition, we advertise our products and could be the target of claims relating to false or deceptive advertising under U.S. federal and state laws, including consumer protection statutes of some states. A significant product liability or other legal judgment against us or a widespread product recall may negatively impact our profitability. Even if a product liability or consumer fraud claim is unsuccessful or is not merited, the negative publicity surrounding such assertions regarding our products or processes could adversely affect our reputation and brand image.

Risks Related to our Securities and the Offering

Our Executive Officers and Directors Will Continue To Hold A Substantial Portion Of Our Stock After the Offering, Which Means That They May Have Significant Voting Control.

Our executive officers and directors collectively will control approximately 32.64% of our outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis after the offering (assuming all notes are converted, all warrants are exercised and we sell the full 2,000,000 shares offered by this prospectus) and, therefore they may be able to significantly influence the vote on matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors. This control means that purchasers of our securities being sold in the offering may not be able to effectively influence the manner in which we are governed.



7





Our Stock Price May Be Volatile Because Of Factors Beyond Our Control. As A Result, The Value Of Your Shares May Decrease Significantly.

Our securities have not previously been publicly traded. The Company valued its offering price in accordance with our last private placement which had a debenture conversion price of $0.26 per share and a warrant exercise price of $0.31 per share. Following the offering, the market price of our securities may decline substantially. In addition, the market price of our securities may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the following:

·

our ability to obtain securities analyst coverage;

·

changes in securities analysts’ recommendations or estimates of our financial performance;

·

changes in market valuations of companies similar to us; and announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, new offerings, acquisitions, commercial relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments; and

·

The failure to meet analysts’ expectations regarding financial performances.

Furthermore, in the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. A securities class action lawsuit against us, regardless of its merit, could result in substantial costs and divert the attention of our management from other business concerns, which in turn could harm our business.

Sales Of Shares By The Selling Shareholders May Impair Our Ability To Sell Shares We Are Offering.

We have registered up to 10,505,211 shares of our common stock, including shares issuable upon the conversion or exercise of certain debentures and warrants for resale by selling shareholders. The sale of these shares or just the ability to sell the shares may negatively affect our ability to sell the 2,000,000 shares that we have registered to sell for our benefit. This is particularly true because we are offering the shares at a fixed price between $0.31 and $0.50 per share, and the selling shareholders may sell their shares at a price below the fixed price at which we offer the 2,000,000 shares, which could cause the price of our common stock to fall making it more difficult for us to sell at the fixed price.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive proceeds from the resale of shares of common stock by the selling shareholders. We may receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants if and to the extent that any of the warrants are exercised by the selling shareholders. We are offering the 2,000,000, shares of common stock on a best efforts basis at a fixed price between $0.31 and $0.50 per share, and accordingly we would receive gross proceeds of up to $620,000, assuming sales at $0.31 per share, or up to $1,000,000, assuming sales at $0.50 per share, in the event that we sell these shares. We intend to use the net proceeds received from the sale of the 2,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the best efforts offering for the expansion of our business and general working capital. The remaining funds will be used for working capital. There can be no assurance that we will sell any of such shares and accordingly may receive no proceeds from the offering.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

The shares offered by the selling shareholders will be sold at $0.26 per share until our shares of common stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The valuation of the initial offering price is based on the conversion price of the convertible notes issued in our last private placement. The Company has determined that the initial offering price will be $0.26 per share and that this is a fair price since that was the conversion price of the convertible notes issued. The determination of the offering price for common stock being sold pursuant to the best efforts offering is based on the Company’s best estimate of the value of its common stock.

DILUTION

As of June 25, 2008, we had 17,167,461 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. This number does not include the shares that have been issued to the selling shareholder. The offering by the selling shareholder will not have a dilutive effect on our common stock.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE

As of June 25, 2008, there were approximately 17,167,461 shares of our common stock outstanding.

Shares Covered by this Prospectus

All of the 10,505,211 shares being registered in this offering may be sold without restriction under the Securities Act.

Rule 144

The SEC recently adopted amendments to Rule 144 which became effective on February 15, 2008 and apply to securities acquired both before and after that date.  Under these amendments, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale and (iii) if the sale occurs prior to satisfaction of a one-year holding period, we provide current information at the time of sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

·

1% of the total number of securities of the same class then outstanding, which will equal approximately 125,018 shares immediately after this offering; or

·

the average weekly trading volume of such securities during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale.

provided, in each case, that we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale.

However, since we anticipate that our shares will be quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, which is not an “automated quotation system,” our stockholders will not be able to rely on the market-based volume limitation described in the second bullet above.  If, in the future, our securities are listed on an exchange or quoted on NASDAQ, then our stockholders would be able to rely on the market-based volume limitation.  Unless and until our stock is so listed or quoted, our stockholders can only rely on the percentage based volume limitation described in the first bullet above.

Such sales by affiliates must also comply with the manner of sale, current public information and notice provisions of Rule 144.  The selling stockholders will not be governed by the foregoing restrictions when selling their shares pursuant to this prospectus.

In recognition of the fact that the selling shareholders may wish to be legally permitted to sell their shares of common stock when they deem appropriate, we agreed with the selling shareholders to file with the SEC, under the Securities Act, a registration statement on Form S-1, of which this prospectus is a part, with respect to the resale of the shares of common stock, and have agreed to prepare and file such amendments and supplements to the registration statement as may be necessary to keep the registration statement in effect until the shares of common stock are no longer required to be registered for the sale thereof by the selling shareholders. In accordance with the Securities Act, certain of the selling shareholders may not use the shares of our common stock sold under this registration statement to cover short positions taken since this registration statement was filed.



13





PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We anticipate having our shares of common stock registered on the OTC Bulletin Board some time in the near future. We anticipate that once the shares are trading on the OTC Bulletin Board or any other market the selling shareholders will sell their shares directly into any such market. Selling shareholders will initially offer their shares at $0.26 per share until such time as the common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, at which time, prices the selling shareholders will receive will be determined by prevailing market prices on the OTC Bulletin Board or selling shareholders may also sell in private transactions at negotiated prices. We cannot predict the price at which shares may be sold or whether the common stock will ever trade on any market. The shares may be sold by the selling shareholders, as the case may be, from time to time, in one or more transactions. We do not intend to enter into any arrangements with any securities dealers concerning solicitation of offers to purchase the shares.

Our shares of common stock offered hereby by the selling shareholders may be sold from time to time by such selling shareholders, or by pledgees, donees, transferees and other successors in interest thereto. These pledgees, donees, transferees and other successors in interest will be deemed “selling shareholders” for the purposes of this prospectus. Our shares of common stock may be sold:

on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market (including the OTC Bulletin Board); or

in privately negotiated transactions.

Our shares of common stock may be sold to or through brokers or dealers, who may act as agent or principal, or in direct transactions between the selling shareholders and purchasers. In addition, the selling security holder may, from time to time, sell the common stock short, and in these instances, this prospectus may be delivered in connection with the short sale and the shares of common stock offered hereby may be used to cover the short sale.

Transactions involving brokers or dealers may include, without limitation, the following:

ordinary brokerage transactions,

transactions in which the broker or dealer solicits purchasers,

block trades in which the broker or dealer will attempt to sell the shares of common stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; and

purchases by a broker or dealer as a principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its own account.

In effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by the selling shareholders or the purchasers of the shares of common stock may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. These brokers or dealers may receive discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders and/or the purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom the broker or dealer may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions). Commissions and discounts paid in connection with the sale of the shares by the selling shareholders will be determined through negotiations between them and the broker-dealers through or to which the securities are to be sold and may vary, depending on the broker-dealers fee schedule, the size of the transaction and other factors. The separate costs of the selling shareholders will be borne by them. The selling shareholders will, and any broker-dealer or agent that participates with the selling shareholders in the sale of the shares by them may, be deemed an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions or discounts received by them and any profits on the resale of shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the Securities Act.

To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between any selling shareholders and any underwriter, broker dealer or agent regarding the sale of the notes and the underlying common stock by selling shareholders. Selling shareholders may not sell any or all of the notes and underlying common stock offered by them pursuant to this prospectus. In addition, we cannot assure you that any such selling shareholders will not transfer, devise or gift the notes and the underlying common stock by other means not described in this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling shareholders.



14





We are bearing all of the costs relating to the registration of the shares of common stock other than certain fees and expenses, if any, of counsel or other advisors to the selling shareholders. Any commissions, discounts or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares of common stock will be borne by the selling shareholders, the purchasers participating in the transaction, or both.

Any shares covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. None of our selling shareholders has agreed not to sell more than a certain number of shares during any single period of time, whether or not based upon the occurrence of any term or fulfillment of any condition.

The selling shareholders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in the offer and sale of the common stock. In particular, during such times as the selling shareholders may be deemed to be engaged in distribution of common stock, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable law and may, among other things:

1 - Not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common stock;

2 - Furnish each broker or dealer through which common stock may be offered, such copies of this prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be required by such broker or dealer; and

3 - Not bid or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933

This Prospectus also relates to the sale of up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock that are being offered for cash directly for our account.

We intend to sell our common stock during the 90-day period following the date of this Prospectus at a fixed price between $0.31 and $0.50 per share. There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold by us during the 90-day selling period, and the proceeds may be placed in escrow, trust or any similar account.

We are relying upon Rule 3a4-1 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to not deem such persons associated with us as brokers. None of such persons are registered broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers, and in the event and to the extent that members of our management sell shares, no commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transaction in securities will be paid to such persons. In addition, such persons conduct their selling activity in accordance with paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of Rule 3a4-1, in that each person primarily performs substantial duties for the issuer other than in connection with transactions in securities, each person is not a broker or dealer or affiliated with a broker or dealer in the last twelve months and each person does not participate in selling an offering of securities more than once every twelve months other than as permitted under Rule 3a4-1.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

General

Our total authorized capital stock consists of 30,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share. The following descriptions contain all material terms and features of our securities.

Common Stock

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in dividends, subject to the rights of the holders of preferred stock, as may be declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore. In the event we are liquidated, dissolved or wound up, holders of the common stock shall be entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining, if any, after payment of liabilities, subject to the rights of the holders of preferred stock. Holders of common stock have no preemptive rights and have no rights to convert their shares of common stock into any other securities.

We are authorized to issue up to 30,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share. As of June 25, 2008, there are 17,167,461 common shares outstanding excluding an aggregate of 8,505,211 shares of common stock which may be issued upon the exercise or conversion of warrants and convertible notes, respectively.

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, none of which is presently issued or outstanding. Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue such shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, or other rights that could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock.

Convertible Promissory Notes

As of the date of this Prospectus, there were outstanding convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal face amount of $1,558,000. These notes convert into approximately 5,992,308 shares of our common stock. The convertible promissory notes were issued by us in connection with our private placement conducted between June 2007 and February 2008. The convertible promissory notes bear interest at twelve percent (12%) per annum and mature two (2) years from the date of issuance. The holders of the convertible promissory notes may convert the principal and interest due under the notes at any time, or may instead be repaid in full. The conversion price of the convertible promissory notes is $0.26 per share. Further, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the investors in this offering whereby we granted such investors certain registration rights and are thereby required to file a registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying the convertible promissory notes on or before March 31, 2008. The Registration Rights Agreement was subsequently extended giving us until to May 30, 2008 within which to file the registration statement. Thereafter, we requested, and were granted another extension of time within which to file the registration statement.  

Holders of convertible promissory notes are not entitled, by virtue of being such a holder, to receive dividends or to vote at or receive notice of any meeting of stockholders or to exercise any other rights whatsoever as our stockholders. In order to receive shares of our common stock a holder of a convertible promissory note must surrender the note. Upon receipt of duly executed convertible promissory notes, we shall issue and cause to be delivered to holders, certificates representing the number of shares of our common stock.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

As of the date of this Prospectus, there were outstanding warrants to purchase approximately 3,012,903 shares of our common stock. The outstanding warrants have an exercise price of $0.31 per share and expire three years from the date of issuance. Warrants have been issued over the years to investors, placement agents as well as to vendors for services rendered including legal. Holders of warrants are not entitled, by virtue of being such a holder, to receive dividends or to vote at or receive notice of any meeting of stockholders or to exercise any other rights whatsoever as our stockholders. In order to receive shares of our common stock a holder of a warrant must



16





surrender the warrant, accompanied by payment of the aggregate exercise price of the warrants to be exercised, which payment may be made, at the holder’s election, in cash or by delivery of a cashier’s or certified check or any combination of the foregoing or by the surrender of shares of common stock underlying the warrant. Upon receipt of duly executed warrants and payment of the exercise price, we shall issue and cause to be delivered to holders, certificates representing the number of shares of our common stock so purchased.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

There is presently no public market for our common stock. We have applied to have our shares of common stock registered on the OTC Bulletin Board. However, we can provide no assurance that our shares will be traded on the OTCBB or, if traded, that a public market will materialize.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General

We were incorporated in the state of New York in July 2001 under the name Presto Food & Beverage Company and are engaged in brand development, sales, merchandising, brand licensing and brand management of beverage and food products. Through one if our divisions, SolMaya (“SolMaya”), we manufacture, market and distribute a variety of authentic Latin American flavored dairy drinks.  We have spent the last six years in Latin America researching and developing a unique flavoring process for our products and have, in the process, recreated the most popular flavors for lactose-based beverages, which can retain their authentic taste through the special processing. SolMaya introduced its first product, Horchata “Sabor de Morro” (“Horchata”) in September 2004. Horchata is milk-based with flavorings of rice, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and the exotic natural morro flavor, which is targeted at the Central American market. Prior to introduction, it was tested with five focus groups consisting of Hispanics in the DC Metropolitan area to verify taste and texture.

The second product was another version of Horchata, which is designed for the tastes of the larger Mexican market. This product differs from the Central American Horchata in that it has a lighter taste and made with more rice and cinnamon flavors.

The next addition to the product line was for the South American population, Avenas con canela (an oatmeal based drink popular among the South American segment population), Morir Soñando (a milk and juice based drink with vanilla that is popular with Dominican and Caribbean segments of the population), and other beverages that will appeal to a crossover market.

Each product is formulated for a particular segment of the Hispanic market. For planning purposes the company sells cases in both 12oz cans and 9.5oz glass bottles (for single serve market) and will add 16oz cans for some flavors and Tetra Pak for home consumption market .

Production

The entire product line of SolMaya brands is contract manufactured in the United States. Only one flavor is imported from Racor S.A. in El Salvador. Target Flavors in Connecticut manufactures the other flavors.

SolMaya Brand’s product lines are dairy- based beverages with flavors, sugar and some grains. These ingredients are mixed, sealed in cans and bottles and then undergo a sterilization process called retort. This process renders the drink shelf-stable, and not requiring refrigeration. Dairy Farmers of America assisted Presto with R&D, but Presto’s co-packing process for all products is at Berner Foods in Illinois, and by the end of the year it will also be at O-AT-KA Milk Products Co-op, Inc. in New York. We believe that having two facilities will decrease lead times and allow for continuous production.

Under contractual agreement, the co-packer (Berner) manufactures the products and supplies milk, bottles, sugar, emulsifiers and stabilizers. SolMaya provides the flavors, cans and sleeves. The finished product is shipped directly to seven master distributor hubs.

Sales and Marketing Strategy

Widespread use of “in-store demos,” in which the Company gives samples to store customers, have initiated sales in new markets. The net result is brand recognition over a six month time frame. The Company will continue to present at food expos, and use focus groups to help market the best products.

According to MilkDelivers.org about $142 million a year is spent marketing milk in the US, or 0.005% of total revenue. On average, across all industries businesses spend about 3% of revenue on advertising. However, due to the Company’s rapid growth, its marketing will remain above 3% for the foreseeable future.

The milk industry spent just two cents per gallon on advertising in 2002, while soft drinks spent four cents a gallon and sports drinks spent 17 cents a gallon. These ratios are not expected to be significantly different today. Bottled water was the only competitive beverage to spend less on advertising than milk - just 1 cent per gallon, according to MilkDelivers.org.1

A dairy industry study shows that milk consumption increases among children when it is offered to them in plastic bottles as opposed to old-fashioned cardboard cartons. There are two motivations at play here – the plastic bottles are easier for kids to open, and they make a marketing statement that kids find appealing.2 SolMaya has can and glass bottle options. In addition, the Company has found that its products have tremendous crossover appeal with different ethnic groups, particularly the Asian-American community. This is not surprising, as it was the Asians who first introduced the soy milk concept, and Asians own many of the medium-size grocers in the Hispanic communities. Retailers buy with more confidence knowing the extended shelf life.

Presto identified unfilled demand for Hispanic beverages, and has formulated the authentic flavors to have an extended shelf life. SolMaya Brands goals were to (1) introduce the brand with “Sabor de Morro” Horchata, and to gauge and analyze the market response, (2) to confirm the acceptance of SolMaya products by the community and its retailers, (3) to evaluate SolMaya’s ground marketing campaign and “pull” marketing approach, and (4) to then formulate a comprehensive strategy for capturing the non-Hispanic market, and grow to serve all ethnicities in America.

The introduction of the product line has been done through grassroots efforts dealing directly with individual stores and food outlets, and by implementing a “pull-through” strategy of conducting demonstrations at various stores and giving out samples. There was strong demand, which garnered attention from some of the larger distributors of well known brands to chain retailers and individual stores.

The Company’s success will not only depend on the product flavors, blends and tastes, but also the quality of ingredients, the Company’s ability to control the costs of ingredients and the cost of manufacturing, and deliver a consistent product.

Presto initially absorbed a relatively high cost of introduction getting the first product onto store shelves and sold, but the Company demonstrated SolMaya’s appeal. Having established that there is substantial demand for SolMaya products, and that there are large distributors beginning to sell it, SolMaya will introduce the product line to the national Hispanic population.

In 2008, the Company plans to double its number of accounts with the addition of distributors in Illinois, Georgia, Texas and California. SolMaya seeks to become the #1 brand of flavored diary products that are (1) ready-to-drink, (2) shelf stable, and (3) have an extended shelf life. SolMaya plans to achieve this goal by:

1.

Designing beverages with authentic traditional flavors and textures targeted to various regional segments of the Hispanic market. The first two products introduced by the Company are targeted toward the Central American and the Mexican markets. Marketing beverages in a ready to drink mode. Many of the milk based Hispanic beverages are sold as flavored powders, which are mixed with milk or water to prepare a drink. This has been the most common mode for these types of beverages. However, in the U. S. there has long been a

[prestos1003.gif]

trend toward completely prepared foods and ready to drink beverages; this is particularly true of younger consumers, and the Hispanic population is younger than the general population.

2.

Marketing beverages that require no refrigeration. This allows SolMaya to be stocked anywhere in a store, rather than needing to be in the refrigerated section.

3.

Marketing beverages which have extended shelf life. This greatly increases the retailer’s flexibility and virtually eliminates the risk of spoilage, making it easier for the retailer to take on the product.

4.

Setting retail price points at levels which are competitive with other dairy flavored drinks such as Nestlé’s Nesquik and Hershey’s Chocolate Milk.

5.

Selling through regional distributors who already sell products to the Hispanic market. A few regional distributors have been selected and who already have established large number of strategically located POS (Points of Sales). These distributors have distribution channels in the New York City metropolitan, Washington, D. C. metropolitan, Los Angeles metropolitan areas and the South Florida markets.

6.

Support product introduction at significant retail outlets with temporary in-store personnel displaying the SolMaya products and offering “tastings.”

7.

Establishing a consistent “look” for the SolMaya Brands. This has been developed with the help of advisors with exceptional talent in advertising and public relations. Packaging has also been tested with several focus groups. This look will be carried consistently, not only on the product packaging, but also on point-of-sale promotional materials, in advertising, on vehicles and on t-shirts for in-store demonstration personnel.

Competition

The beverage industry is also highly competitive. Our primary competitors include Quaker, Alpina, Klass, Nestle, Rosa’s and Casa del Sol, as well as other companies that have created products similar to ours.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Presto Food & Beverage, Inc. was incorporated in the State of New York in 2001. Presto Food & Beverage, Inc. is a holding company for various brands that develop, manufacture, market and distribute a complete portfolio of quality beverage and food products throughout the United States, Canada and Latin America. The four products are Horchata “Sabor de Morro,” Mexican Horchata, Morir Soñando (fruit jubilee) and Avenas con canela (oatmeal shake). Corporate headquarters are located in New York, NY. Presto Food & Beverage, Inc. seeks to be one of the premier foods and beverage companies for the largest growing segment of the U.S. population; the Hispanic market.  Presto, through its first registered and trademarked brand, SolMaya, targets primarily the Hispanic populations in these countries. The Company’s strategy emphasizes the growth of its brands and its products by offering authentic flavors and convenience packaging.  

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales increased approximately 60% to $1,243,001 during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2007, up from $778,099 during the same twelve month period in 2006.

This increase is primarily attributable to increased sales and awareness of Presto’s flagship line SolMaya Brands, as well as expansion of the product line to an anticipated presence to over 2,000 retail locations. These markets include the expansion of our current presence in the New York City metropolitan region, where we are in over 700 retail locations (up from 300 last year), and this expansion alone almost doubled the total estimated retail locations to over eight states. As of October 2007, Presto had over 140 retail distributions in the Houston, TX region.  In addition, Presto’s Miami and Georgia’s distributor and Savannah distributors, are responsible for circulation of SolMaya Brands into new states, such as Louisiana and Minnesota. The placement of Presto’s products with more and more retailers, including Latin America, has not only increased our sales volume, but also increased the branding presence of its trademarks. Unless U.S. manufacturing capacity is increased, the Company may experience scarce production resources domestically.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales was approximately 85% in 2007, compared to about 79% in 2006. Gross margins are believed to have improved in the last month of 2007, as cost of transporting and procurement of costs of goods was reduced by the manufacturing of UHF milk on site with its product distributors and improved prices from its co-manufacturers. Even as gas prices rose, Presto’s freight decreased from 9.8% of



24





revenue in 2006, to 8.4% in 2007. This is due to better negotiating with freight companies, and improved paletization. The cost of milk also began to fall in mid-2007. Sugar is the second ingredient and another commodity that affects costs.

While all end-products are manufactured in the United States, flavors produced "just in time" in El Salvador cost 50% less than if produced domestically. Flavor ingredients are less than 2% of volume in the three newest products, but in Horchata Sabor de Morro flavor ingredients are over 4%.

The only fixed cost associated with the cost of goods sold is the setup of printing plates for imprints on cans and shrink wrap on bottles, which was approximately $30,000 in 2006, and $5,000 in 2007.

Operating expenses fell from 83% to 55% of revenue from 2006 to 2007. This is primarily the result of decreased advertising and marketing expenses. Advertising and marketing fell from $140,642 or 18% of 2006 revenue, to $68,037 or 5.4% of 2007 revenue. Revenue per employee increased from $129,683 to $207,167 over the same period while headcount remained fixed at about six full time employees. Most full time employees were temporarily on a contractor basis in 2007, which is the reason outside services increased from $5,798 in 2006, to $263,160 in 2007.

Research and development expense increased from $32,009 in 2006, to $46,371 in 2007. The four products have been refined and revenue growth is not dependent on further R&D. However, the Company maintains an R&D budget in its projections. Loss of data or research personnel could adversely affect the progress of R&D.

Interest expense increased from $78,141 in 2006, to $290,566 in 2007. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in long-term debt, the issuance of convertible notes which contained debt discounts for beneficial conversion feature and warrants that were amortized through interest expense. The amortization to interest expense was for $37,111. Interest expense also increased significantly as a result of an increase in factored receivable during 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 31, 2007, we had a working capital deficit of $497,936 compared to working capital deficit of $671,120 as of December 31, 2006, a decrease of $173,184. The decrease is from large increases in current assets.

Net cash used for operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $648,734. The net loss for the year ending December 31, 2007 was $792,931. Presto relied extensively on the issuance of convertible notes to fund operations during expansion in 2007. In 2007, they obtained a net of $862,387 in convertible note financing through Kern Suslow Securities, Inc. Net cash obtained through all financing activities was $920,064 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, compared to $515,252 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006.

Net cash used in investing activities was $11,850 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007. This is compared to $4,958 in 2006.

Presto anticipates being able to fund the Company's foreseeable liquidity requirements through the financing obtained in 2008. However, the Company can give no assurances that any financing will be consummated. The Company continues to explore potential expansion opportunities in the industry in order to boost sales, while leveraging distribution systems to consolidate and lower costs.



25





Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Except for operating leases (primarily for vehicles and office space) and production letters of credit, Presto does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on their financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues and expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies

Presto's analysis and discussion of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its audited financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The preparation of audited financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. US GAAP provides the framework from which to make these estimates, assumptions and disclosures. Presto chooses accounting policies within US GAAP that management believes are appropriate to accurately and fairly report Presto’s operating results and financial position in a consistent manner. Management regularly assesses these policies in light of current and forecasted economic conditions and has discussed the development and selection of critical accounting policies with the audit committee of the Board of Directors.

Going Concern

The audited financial statements included with this prospectus have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that Presto’s assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the audited financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  Where applicable, SFAS No. 157 simplifies and codifies related guidance within GAAP and does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is encouraged.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a significant effect on its financial position or results of operation.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109", which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on its financial reporting, and the Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its disclosure requirements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — including an Amendment of SFAS No. 115” (SFAS No. 159), which permits an entity to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Entities that elect the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with few exceptions. SFAS No. 159 amends previous guidance to extend the use of the fair value option to available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities. The Statement also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to help financial statement users understand the effect of the election. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that SFAS No. 159 may have on our financial condition and results of operations.



26





In June 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities” (EITF 07-3), requiring that nonrefundable advance payments for future research and development activities be deferred and capitalized. Such amounts should be expensed as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company does not expect that upon adoption, this guidance will not have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


In June 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 06-11, “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards” (EITF 06-11), which requires entities to record to additional paid in capital the tax benefits on dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings for certain share-based awards. In a share-based payment arrangement, employees may receive dividends or dividend equivalents on awards of nonvested equity shares, nonvested equity share units during the vesting period, and share options until the exercise date. Generally, the payment of such dividends can be treated as deductible compensation for tax purposes. The amount of tax benefits recognized in additional paid-in capital should be included in the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb tax deficiencies on share-based payment awards. EITF 06-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, and interim periods within those years. The Company estimates that upon adoption, this guidance will not have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (SFAS No. 141(R)) which retained the underlying concepts of SFAS No. 141, in that all business combinations are still required to be accounted for at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting, but SFAS No. 141(R) changed the method of applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. SFAS No. 141(R) will require that: (1) for all business combinations, the acquirer records all assets and liabilities of the acquired business, including goodwill, generally at their fair values; (2) certain contingent assets and liabilities acquired be recognized at their fair values on the acquisition date; (3) contingent consideration be recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date and, for certain arrangements, changes in fair value be recognized in earnings until settled; (4) acquisition-related transactions and restructuring costs be expensed rather than treated as part of the cost of the acquisition and included in the amount recorded for assets acquired; (5) in step acquisitions, previous equity interests in an acquiree held prior to obtaining control be re-measured to their acquisition-date fair values, with any gain or loss recognized in earnings; and (6) when making adjustments to finalize initial accounting, companies revise any previously issued post-acquisition financial information in future financial statements to reflect any adjustments as if they had been recorded on the acquisition date. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period subsequent to December 15, 2008, with the exception of the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies. SFAS No. 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109 such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the effective date of this statement should also apply the provisions of SFAS No. 141(R).


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB 51” (SFAS No. 160) which amends ARB 51 to establish new standards that will govern the accounting for reporting of noncontrolling interests in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Also, SFAS No. 160 requires that: (1) noncontrolling interest, previously referred to as minority interest, be reported as part of equity in the consolidated financial statements; (2) losses be allocated to the noncontrolling interest even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance, reducing the losses attributed to the controlling interest; (3) changes in ownership interest be treated as equity transactions if control is maintained; and (4) upon a loss of control, any gain or loss on the interest sold be recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 160 is effective on a prospective basis for all fiscal years, and interim period with those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which will be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that SFAS No. 160 may have on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.



27





Factors That May Affect our Results of Operations

Our auditor’s report reflects the fact that without realization of additional capital; it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern.

As a result of our deficiency in working capital at December 31, 2007 and other factors, we have included a note to the financial statements regarding substantial doubt about our entity to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments as a result of this uncertainty. The going concern issue may adversely impact our ability to raise capital to continue to expand sales.

Risks Relating to Our Business and Marketplace

We carry limited product liability insurance

The packaging and distribution of beverages can lead to product liability claims, including liability due to the presence of contaminants in products. We maintain insurance converge against the risk of product liability and product recall, subject to certain limits and exclusions, which may or may not be adequate. In addition to potential losses resulting from product liability, we may suffer adverse publicity and damage to our reputation in the event of a contamination which could have a material adverse effect on sales and profitability.

We may be unable to compete successfully in the highly competitive beverage industry.

The beverage industry is highly competitive. Our products are sold in competition with all liquid refreshments. Many of our competitors have far greater financial, operational and marketing resources and with more established distribution networks than we do.

Risk Factors Relating to our Common Stock

Because our common stock is deemed a low-price “Penny” stock, an investment in our common stock should be considered high risk and subject to marketability restrictions.

Since our common stock will be a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act, it will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment in our common stock after our common stock is registered on the OTC Bulletin Board. Until the trading price of the common stock rises above $5.00 per share, if ever, trading in the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules 15g-1 through 15g-10. Those rules require broker-dealers, before effecting transactions in penny stock, to:

·

Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;

·

Disclose certain price information about the stock;

·

Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;

·

Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and

·

In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules.


Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the common stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.

Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effect by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispostions of the assets of Presto Food & Beverage, Inc.; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures



28





of Presto Food & Beverage, Inc. are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of Presto Food & Beverage, Inc., (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use of disposition of Presto Food & Beverage, Inc.’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

We have a limited number of personnel that are required to perform various roles and duties. Furthermore, we have one individual, our CEO, who is responsible for monitoring and ensuring compliance with our internal control procedures. As a result, our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Presto Food & Beverage, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. Presto Food & Beverage, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial 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 Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 provide 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 Presto Food & Beverage, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency of approximately $0.5 million as of December 31, 2007, has had net losses of approximately $0.8 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $3.0 million as of December 31, 2007.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans regarding these matters are described in Note 10.  The financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2007 and 2006


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES    


ORGANIZATION  

Presto Food & Beverage, Inc. was incorporated in the State of New York in 2001. Presto Food & Beverage, Inc. is a holding company for various brands that develop, manufacture, markets and distributes a complete portfolio of quality beverage and food products throughout the United States, Canada and Latin America. The Company’s headquarters are located in New York, NY and has offices in Bethesda, MD. Presto Food & Beverage, Inc. seeks to be one of the premier foods and beverage companies for the largest growing segment of the U.S. population- the Hispanic market.  Presto, through its first registered and trademarked brand, SolMaya, targets primarily the Hispanic populations in these countries. The Company’s strategy emphasizes the growth of its brands and its products by offering authentic flavors and convenience packaging.  


USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of audited 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 of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


REVENUE AND COST RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized as services are rendered or products are delivered, the price to the buyer is fixed and determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.


INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” and reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. The Company establishes a valuation allowance if it believes that it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.


The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of certain state jurisdictions. The Company has not been audited by the I.R.S. or any states in connection with income taxes. The periods from inception through 2007 remain open to examination by the I.R.S. and state authorities.


On January 1, 2007 the Company adopted the provisions of FASB interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes- an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN No. 48”). The Interpretation contains a two step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of the available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation process, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The adoption of FIN No. 48 did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.


The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense. Penalties, if incurred, are recognized as a component of income tax expense.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  - (Continued)  


FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value estimates, assumptions and methods used to estimate fair value of the Company’s financial instruments are made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107, “Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.”  The Company has used available information to derive its estimates.  However, because these estimates are made as of a specific point in time, they are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize currently.  The use of different assumptions or estimating methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.  The Company estimates that there are no material variations between fair value and book value of our financial assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2007. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term notes payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments.  Long-term liabilities are comprised of the convertible notes which approximate fair value based on borrowing rates available to the Company.


SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS

The Company classifies freight billed to customers as sales revenue and the related freight costs as cost of sales.


ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

Accounts receivable consists primarily of amounts due from the sale of products. The Company classifies freight billed to customers as sales revenue and the related freight costs as cost of sales.


It is the policy of the Company to report receivables at net realizable value estimating the allowance for uncollectible accounts. Based on management’s judgement and prior experiences and current economic conditions, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the allowance for uncollectible receivables was $0.


PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided utilizing both the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:


Automobiles

3-5 years

Furniture

7 years

Computer equipment

3-5 years

Signage

10 years

LONG LIVED ASSETS

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts.  SFAS No. 144 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of.

INVENTORY

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) valuation method.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   - Continued)


CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less are included in cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, cash and cash equivalents included cash held in commercial banks, petty cash fund, and money market securities.


ADVERTISING

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $38,181 and $48,617, respectively.


DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS

Debt Issuance Costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the notes.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS


Expenses for research and development are charged to expense when incurred. The total amount of research and development expenses incurred during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $46,371 and $32,009, respectively.


RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES


The Company’s operations could be adversely affected by limitations of manufactures; fluctuations in dairy prices; limited number of distributors; changes in government regulations; changes in labeling requirements; or product issues such as product recall. The foregoing list of risks and uncertainties is not exclusive.


ESTIMATING THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK


The fair market value of the Company’s common stock is a significant estimate used in determining the value of the Company’s various equity related instruments (warrants and conversion features, etc.). In determining the fair market value of the Company’s stock we consider such things as the most recent equity transaction, changes in the Company’s financial position, progressions in product development and the effects of dilutive debt conversions.


RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


In March 2006, FASB issued FASB 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – An amendment of FASB No. 140.” FASB 156 requires the recognition of a servicing asset or servicing liability under certain circumstances when an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract. FASB 156 also requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value utilizing the amortization method or fair market value method. FASB 156 is effective at the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. FASB 156 did have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

PRESTO FOOD & BEVERAGE, INC.

NOTES TO AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2007 and 2006


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   - (Continued)


In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Specifically, FIN 48 requires the recognition in financial statements of the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on the de-recognition of previously recognized deferred tax items, classification, accounting for interest and penalties, and accounting in interim periods related to uncertain tax positions, as well as, requires expanded disclosures. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings.  FASB Interpretation No. 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.


In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”), which provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 is effective for us as of December 31, 2007.  SAB 108 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s audited financial statements.  


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measures” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This Statement also applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit a fair value measure. As defined by this Statement, the fair value of an Asset or Liability would be based on an “exit price” basis rather than an “entry price” basis. Additionally, the fair value should be market-based and not an entity-based measurement. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s audited financial statements.


In October 2006 the FASB issued SFSB No. 123(R)-5, “Amendment of FASB Staff Position FAS 123(R)-1”. This FSP concluded that for instruments that were originally issued as employee compensation and then modified, and for which such modification is made to the terms of the instrument solely to reflect an equity restructuring that occurs when the holders are no longer employees, no change in the recognition or the measurement (due to a change in classification) of those instruments will result if certain conditions are met. The FSP is to be applied in the first reporting period beginning after October 10, 2006. SFAS 123(R)-5 did not have a material impact on the Company’s audited financial statements.


In October 2006 the FASB issued FSB No 123(R)-6, “Technical Corrections of FASB Statement No. 123(R)”. This FSP made four technical corrections to eliminate certain inconsistencies in FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. This FSP should be applied in the first reporting period beginning after October 20, 2006.  FAS 123(R)-6 did not have a material impact on the Company’s audited financial statements.

NOTES TO AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2007 and 2006


NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   - (Continued)


In December 2006 the FASB issued FSB No. AUG AIR-1, “Accounting for Major Maintenance Activities”. This FSP prohibits the use of the accrue-in-advance method of accounting for planned major maintenance activities in annual and interim financial reporting periods. The guidance in the FSP is applicable to entities in all industries and must be applied to the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006.  FSB No. AUG AIR-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s audited financial statements.

In January 2007 the FASB issued Derivatives Implementation Group Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. B40, “Embedded Derivatives: Application of Paragraph 13(b) to Securitized Interested in Prepayable Financial Assets”. This Issue provides a narrow scope exception from paragraph 13(b) of Statement No. 133 for securitized interests that contain only an embedded derivative that is tied to the prepayment risk of the underlying prepayable financial assets. The guidance in this Issue is generally effective upon initial adoption of Statement No. 155.  Derivatives Implementation Group Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. B40 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s audited financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — including an Amendment of SFAS No. 115” (SFAS No. 159), which permits an entity to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Entities that elect the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with few exceptions. SFAS No. 159 amends previous guidance to extend the use of the fair value option to available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities. The Statement also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to help financial statement users understand the effect of the election. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that SFAS No. 159 may have on our financial condition and results of operations.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities” (EITF 07-3), requiring that nonrefundable advance payments for future research and development activities be deferred and capitalized. Such amounts should be expensed as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company does not expect that upon adoption, this guidance will not have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 06-11, “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards” (EITF 06-11), which requires entities to record to additional paid in capital the tax benefits on dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings for certain share-based awards. In a share-based payment arrangement, employees may receive dividends or dividend equivalents on awards of nonvested equity shares, nonvested equity share units during the vesting period, and share options until the exercise date. Generally, the payment of such dividends can be treated as deductible compensation for tax purposes. The amount of tax benefits recognized in additional paid-in capital should be included in the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb tax deficiencies on share-based payment awards. EITF 06-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, and interim periods within those years. The Company estimates that upon adoption, this guidance will not have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   - (Continued)


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (SFAS No. 141(R)) which retained the underlying concepts of SFAS No. 141, in that all business combinations are still required to be accounted for at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting, but SFAS No. 141(R) changed the method of applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. SFAS No. 141(R) will require that: (1) for all business combinations, the acquirer records all assets and liabilities of the acquired business, including goodwill, generally at their fair values; (2) certain contingent assets and liabilities acquired be recognized at their fair values on the acquisition date; (3) contingent consideration be recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date and, for certain arrangements, changes in fair value be recognized in earnings until settled; (4) acquisition-related transactions and restructuring costs be expensed rather than treated as part of the cost of the acquisition and included in the amount recorded for assets acquired; (5) in step acquisitions, previous equity interests in an acquiree held prior to obtaining control be re-measured to their acquisition-date fair values, with any gain or loss recognized in earnings; and (6) when making adjustments to finalize initial accounting, companies revise any previously issued post-acquisition financial information in future financial statements to reflect any adjustments as if they had been recorded on the acquisition date. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period subsequent to December 15, 2008, with the exception of the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies. SFAS No. 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109 such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the effective date of this statement should also apply the provisions of SFAS No. 141(R).


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB 51” (SFAS No. 160) which amends ARB 51 to establish new standards that will govern the accounting for reporting of noncontrolling interests in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Also, SFAS No. 160 requires that: (1) noncontrolling interest, previously referred to as minority interest, be reported as part of equity in the consolidated financial statements; (2) losses be allocated to the noncontrolling interest even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance, reducing the losses attributed to the controlling interest; (3) changes in ownership interest be treated as equity transactions if control is maintained; and (4) upon a loss of control, any gain or loss on the interest sold be recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 160 is effective on a prospective basis for all fiscal years, and interim period with those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which will be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that SFAS No. 160 may have on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE


Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed dividing the net income (loss) attributable to the common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (the denominator) during the reporting periods. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by increasing the denominator by the weighted average number of additional shares that could have been outstanding from securities convertible into common stock, such as stock options and warrants (using the “treasury stock” method), and convertible preferred stock and debt (using the “if-converted” method), unless their effect on net income (loss) per share is anti-dilutive. Under the “if-converted” method, convertible instruments are assumed to have been converted as of the beginning of the period or when issued, if later. The effect of computing the diluted income (loss) per share is anti-dilutive and, as such, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

NOTE 4 – DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS


The Company incurred certain costs related to financing activities since inception.  These costs consisted primarily of legal fees, placement agent fees, and commissions which are related to the placement of debt securities.  Debt issuance costs were paid in the form of cash. Debt issuance costs consisted of the following:

NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT


The Company accounts for the value of warrants and the intrinsic value of beneficial conversion rights arising from the issuance of convertible debt instruments with nondetachable conversion rights that are in-the-money at the commitment date pursuant to EITF Issue. 98-5, EITF Issue No. 00-19 and EITF Issue No. 00-27.  Such values are determined by first allocating an appropriate portion of the proceeds received from the debt instruments to the warrants or any other detachable instrument included in the exchange.  The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion rights at the commitment date was recorded as additional paid-in capital and debt discount.


During 2007, the Company issued 12% convertible debentures to private investors (the “Investors”). As of December 31, 2007, the total principal amount of the debentures was $945,500 convertible into 3,636,538 shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion price for outstanding principal and unpaid interest of the debentures was equal to $.26 per share. Additionally, each Investor received one warrant to purchase an amount of common stock equal to fifty percent of the principal face amount invested in convertible debentures. The exercise price of the warrants is $.31 per share. The warrants are exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issuance.  The convertible debentures and warrants had a beneficial conversion discount because the conversion price of the instruments was less than the fair value of the Company’s common stock after the warrant discount was applied. The total value of the beneficial conversion discount of $593,836 is being amortized over the life of the debenture through a charge to interest expense. The convertible debenture of $945,500 is reflected on the balance sheets net of unamortized portion of beneficial conversion discount of $556,725. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded interest expense of $37,111. The conversion feature and the stock purchase warrants were valued using a Black Scholes Option Pricing Model using the following assumptions: Volatility:102%,  Risk-free Rate:  4.0% and Dividend Growth Rate: 0%.

In an effort to determine the fair market value of our common stock, which is not readily determinable or actively traded, we applied SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” to derive the historical and the current fair market value of our common stock.  SFAS No. 157 states, “This Statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement.  Therefore, fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset.”

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND UNCERTAINTIES

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying audited financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $792,931 during the year ended December 31, 2007, and as of that date, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $497,936. Those factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management of the Company plans to raise additional capital through private placement offerings. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital through private placement offerings. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Operating Leases

The Company leases office space under non-cancellable operating leases expiring through September 2008.  The Company also leases equipment and vehicles under a non-cancellable operation lease expiring February 2011.

None of our present directors, officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of the foregoing, nor, to the best of our information and belief, any of our former directors, senior officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of such former directors, officers or principal shareholders, has or had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or will materially affect us.

Policy Regarding Transactions with Affiliates

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of the Registrant's Directors to the maximum extent permitted by New York law. New York law provides that a director of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of that individual's fiduciary duties as a director except for liability for (1) a breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (3) unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, or (4) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

This limitation of liability does not apply to liabilities arising under federal securities laws and does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

The New York General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers, as well as other employees and individuals, against attorneys' fees and other expenses, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation. The New York General Corporation Law provides that this is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the Registrant is required to indemnify its Directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Registrant's Bylaws also require the Registrant to advance expenses incurred by an officer or Director in connection with the defense of any action or proceeding arising out of that party's status or service as a Director or officer of the Registrant or as a Director, officer, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, if serving as such at the Registrant's request. The Registrant's Bylaws also permit the Registrant to secure insurance on behalf of any Director or officer for any liability arising out of his or her actions in a representative capacity. The Registrant intends to enter into indemnification agreements with its Directors and some of its officers containing provisions that (1) indemnify, to the maximum extent permitted by New York law, those Directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as Directors or officers except liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable nature; (2) to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified; and (3) to obtain Directors' and officers' liability insurance if maintained for other Directors or officers.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

During the past three years, we have sold unregistered securities as described below. We believe that the issuances of the following securities were considered to be exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and the regulations promulgated there under. There were no underwriters involved in the transactions and there were no underwriting discounts or commissions paid in connection therewith, except as disclosed below. The purchasers of the securities in such transactions represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for sales in connection with any distribution thereof and appropriate legends were affixed to the certificates for the securities issued in such transactions. The purchasers of the securities in the transactions below were each sophisticated investors who were provided information about us and were able to bear the risk of loss of their entire investment.

In June 2007 through June 2008, we sold approximately $1,588,000 in principal amount of convertible debentures to 21 investors. In addition to the convertible debentures, we issued warrants purchase an aggregate of 2,512,903 shares of our common stock to these investors. The holders of such notes and warrants represented in writing that they were accredited investors and acquired the securities for their own accounts. A legend was placed on the securities stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and cannot be sold or otherwise transferred without an effective registration statement covering such shares or an the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. In connection with the Offering, we have agreed to pay approximately $19,950 in fees to the placement agent, and issued 299,615 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase 149,808 shares of common stock at $0.31 per share.  Further, we agreed to issue to the placement agent an additional warrant to purchase 502,581 shares of common stock at $0.31 per share.

Item 28.

Undertakings.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to Directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, contract arrangements, statute, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such Director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933.

(3)

It will file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

(4)

For determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, it will treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the small business issuer under Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933, as part of this Registration Statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective.

(5)

For determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, it will treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new Registration Statement for the securities offered in the Registration Statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to:

(1)

File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to:

(i)

Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);

(ii)

Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement, and

(iii)

Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.

(2)

For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

(3)

File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

(4)

For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned



II-3





small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;

(iii)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and

(iv)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.

If the small business issuer will request acceleration of the effective date of the registration statement under Rule 461 of the Securities Act include the following:

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to Directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a Director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such Director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue

(5)

For determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, it will treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities.

For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

If the small business issuer is subject to Rule 430C, include the following:

(1)

Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
