SEAWAY VALLEY CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2009

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. When reading the financial information contained in this Quarterly Report, reference should be made to the financial statements, schedule and notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

NOTE 2- GOING CONCERN

The financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable for a going concern, which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As of March 31, 2009, the Company has generated revenues of $3 million but has incurred a net loss of approximately $4.0 million. The Company also has a working capital deficit and is in default on its credit facility. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving sales growth, reduction of operation expenses and ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, and upon profitable operations. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company intends to overcome the circumstances that impact its ability to remain a going concern through an increase of revenues, with interim cash flow deficiencies being addressed through additional equity and debt financing. The Company's ability to obtain additional funding will determine its ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurances that these plans for additional financing will be successful. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms if and when needed in the future could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial performance, results of operations and stock price and require the Company to implement cost reduction initiatives and curtail operations. Furthermore, additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of the Company's common stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, and may require the Company to relinquish valuable rights.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Deferred Financing Fees and Debt Discounts

Deferred finance costs represent costs which may include direct costs paid to or warrants issued to third parties in order to obtain long-term financing and have been reflected as other assets. Costs incurred with parties who are providing the actual long-term financing, which generally may include the value of warrants, fair value of the derivative conversion feature, or the intrinsic value of beneficial conversion features associated with the underlying debt, are reflected as a debt discount. These costs and discounts are generally amortized over the life of the related debt. In connection with debt issued during the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company recorded no debt discounts. Amortization expense related to these costs and discounts were $432,605 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, including $410,408 in debt discount amortization included in interest expense on the Statement of Operations.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended and EITF Issue No. 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock" require all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The beneficial conversion features of the convertible debentures are embedded derivatives and are separately valued and accounted for on our balance sheet with changes in fair value recognized during the period of change as a separate component of other income/expense. Fair values for exchange-traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. The pricing model we use for determining fair value of our derivatives is the Black-Scholes Pricing Model. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates and stock price volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves management's judgment and may impact net income.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. At March 31, 2009, the Company had a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, long term debt, line of credit, convertible debt and due to related parties. Management believes the estimated fair value of cash, accounts payable and debt instruments at March 31, 2009 approximate their carrying value as reflected in the balance sheets due to the short-term nature of these instruments or the use of market interest rates for debt instruments. Fair value of due to related parties cannot be determined due to lack of similar instruments available to the Company.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

In accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) adjusted for income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of potential common shares from contracts that may be settled in stock or cash by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. The Company had 35,247 warrants outstanding at March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The inclusion of the warrants and potential common shares to be issued in connection with convertible debt have an anti-dilutive effect on diluted loss per share because under the treasury stock method the average market price of the Company's common stock was less than the exercise prices of the warrants, and therefore they are not included in the calculation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS 161 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 7 - LINE OF CREDIT

On March 4, 2008, Seaway Valley Capital Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, WiseBuys Stores, Inc. and Patrick Hackett Hardware Company, consummated a five million dollar ($5,000,000) credit and security agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, acting through its Wells Fargo Business Credit operating division (the "Line of Credit"). The funds available under Line of Credit were based on an advance rate of 55% of the Company's current inventory. The initial term of the Line of Credit was three years. These funds were used for general working capital at the Company. In early January 2009, Wells Fargo initiated an advance rate reduction (from the original 55% of inventory) by 1% per week. In mid-January, Wells Fargo agreed to temporarily suspend the rate reduction in the event that Patrick Hackett Hardware Company raise an additional $2 million in equity capital or subordinated debt. The Company was not successful in these capital raising efforts, and in February 2009 Wells Fargo again commenced the reduction of the advance rate. On March 9th, March 18th and April 2nd, Wells Fargo issued default notices under the credit agreement, citing various default events such as failure to reach Tangible Net Worth, Net Cash Flow and Net Income milestones, as well as citing a change of control event as it related to the ALRN transaction. Additionally, Wells Fargo continued to reduce the advance rate, and the loan balance had been reduced from a peak of $4.7 million in December 2008 to approximately $1.2 million at this time.

By April 13, 2009, The Company and Wells Fargo had substantially agreed on a Forbearance Agreement whereby the Company would pursue business activities in an effort to eliminate the Wells Fargo line of credit within 13 weeks. These measures included, among others, the closure of certain Hackett’s stores. This agreement was signed on May 18, 2009.

NOTE 9 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 157 requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels.

Financial assets and liabilities valued using level 1 inputs are based on unadjusted quoted market prices within active markets. Financial assets and liabilities valued using level 2 inputs are based primarily on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active or inactive markets. For certain long-term debt, the fair value was based on present value techniques using inputs derived principally or corroborated from market data. Financial assets and liabilities using level 3 inputs were primarily valued using management’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would utilize in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques utilized to determine fair value are consistently applied.

The table below presents a reconciliation for liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

	Fair Value Measurements Using Significant
	Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
	Derivative Liability
	2009			2008

Balance at January 1,	$	-	$	878,499
Total unrealized (gains) losses included in earnings		-		932,069
Debt discounts		-		1,481,338
Balance at March 31,	$	-	$	3,291,906

Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is input is unobservable. Level 3 financial instruments also include those for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. The Company had no Level 1 or Level 2 financial assets.

OVERVIEW

Seaway Valley Capital Corporation (“Seaway Valley” or the “Company”) is a venture capital and investment company. Seaway Valley focuses on equity and equity-related investments in companies that require expansion capital and in companies pursuing acquisition strategies. Seaway Valley will consider investment opportunities in a number of different industries, including retail, consumer products, restaurants, media, business services, and manufacturing. The Company will also consider select technology investments. Returns are intended to be in the form of the eventual share appreciation and dispossession of those equity stakes and income from loans made to businesses.

RETAIL HOLDINGS

On October 23, 2007, Seaway Valley acquired all of the capital stock of WiseBuys Stores, Inc. (“WiseBuys”). WiseBuys Stores, Inc. owns and operates five retail stores in central and northern New York. WiseBuys Stores, Inc. was formed and began operations in 2003 as a direct result of the closing of small-town retailer, Ames Department Stores. Founded primarily by lifelong “north country” residents, WiseBuys initially focused its efforts on serving the “discount” retail needs of rural communities throughout northern and central New York.

On November 7, 2007, Seaway Valley purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Patrick Hackett Hardware Company, a New York corporation (“Hackett’s”). Hackett’s, one of the nation’s oldest retailers, with roots dating back to 1830, is a full line department store specializing in name brand merchandise and full service hardware. At the time of the acquisition, Hackett’s had locations in five towns in upstate New York: Ogdensburg, Potsdam, Watertown, Massena and Canton. Each store features brand name clothing for men, women, and children, and a large selection of athletic, casual, and work footwear. Hackett’s also carries domestics, home décor, gifts, seasonal merchandise and sporting goods. Hackett’s full service hardware department features traditional hardware, tool, plumbing, paint and electrical departments.

Subsequent to the acquisition, WiseBuys has contributed its retail assets to Hackett’s, and management intends to convert the five WiseBuys stores into Hackett’s brand stores. During 2008, the Company operated ten Hackett’s locations - Canton, Gouverneur, Hamilton, Massena, Ogdensburg, Potsdam, Pulaski, Sackets Harbor, Tupper Lake, and Watertown – all in New York.

HOSPITALITY HOLDINGS

On June 1, 2008, Seaway Valley acquired the assets and companies of North Country Hospitality, Inc. “North Country” was formed in 2005 and acquired and developed hospitality assets such as restaurants, lodging and other consumer product companies in northern New York. At the time of the acquisition, North Country owned the following businesses:

Alteri Bakery, Inc.

Alteri Bakery has serviced the North Country region with quality baked goods since 1971. Alteri’s is located in a state of the art baking facility in the heart of Watertown’s business district, and is one of the last traditional Italian bakeries in the area. Alteri's produces the area’s only "true" Italian breads and specialty pastry items, such as cakes, cookies, muffins, bagels, and specialty gift baskets. Alteri’s products can be found at local restaurants, grocery stores, schools, and its own store. In addition, Alteri’s recently assumed the production of sub rolls for the entire Jreck Subs franchise chain of 47 locations, which alone includes approximately two million five hundred thousand rolls baked and shipped annually.

Sackets Harbor Brewing Company, Inc.

Sackets Harbor Brewing Company (“SHBC”) develops, produces, and markets micro brewed beers such as the award winning “War of 1812 Amber Ale” and “Railroad Red Ale” as well as “Thousand Island Pale Ale”, “1812 Amber Ale Light” and “Harbor Wheat” premium craft beers. Its “1812 Amber Ale” is the company’s flagship brand and was the winner of a Silver Award at the 1998 World Beer Championship and has been aggressively marketed to command a significant retail presence in the regional market place. Management estimates 1812 Ale is distributed to over 3,000 retail locations in New York and Florida. The company has also developed complementary products such Sackets Harbor Coffee and Sackets Harbor Brewing Co. Root Beer.

Seaway Restaurant Group

Seaway Restaurant Group ("SRG") is comprised of a dynamic and developing roster of upscale casual- and fine-dining restaurants. Each of the SRG restaurants is unique and memorable, which allows our guests to visit any among them multiple nights during the week to discover something new and exciting upon each visit. The common thread uniting all SRG restaurants is an emphasis on excellent food, superior service, and genuine value. We have been fortunate to receive acknowledgements for our restaurants from both our customers and within the industry.

INVESTMENT FUND

On July 1, 2007, Seaway Valley Capital Corporation assumed the role of Fund Manager of the Seaway Valley Fund, LLC, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of WiseBuys Stores, Inc. As the sole investment manager of the Fund, the Company makes exclusive investment decisions regarding acquisition and dispossession of various securities in the Fund. At the time the Company assumed the management of the Fund on July 1, 2007, its assets totaled approximately $1.83 million. During 2007, the Company successfully negotiated and sold securities on behalf of the Fund that generated gross proceeds of $1.52 million with realized profits of approximately $1.0 million. There was no material activity or assets in the Fund during 2008.

Result of Operations

Three Months Ended March 30, 2009 Compared with Three Months Ended March 30, 2008

The Company’s net sales increased to $2,988,148 for the three month period ended March 30, 2009 from $2,653,041 for the three month period ended March 30, 2008, an increase of $ $335,107. The increase in sales was the result of the acquisition of North Country Hospitality which took place on June 1, 2008.

The Company’s cost of goods sold also increased from $1,973,836 for the three months ended March 30, 2008 to $2,574,153 during the same period in 2009. This led to a $265,210 decrease in our gross margin to $413,995 for the three month period ended March 30, 2009 from $679,205 for the three month period ended March 30, 2008.

Net realized and unrealized loss on the sale of securities was $0 during the three month period ended March 30, 2009 versus $52,932 for the same period ended March 30, 2008.

General and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 30, 2009 were $2,026,055 versus $1,869,863 for the same period in 2008. The increase of $ $156,192 was driven by the acquisition of North Country Hospitality.

Seaway Valley Capital Corporation had an operating loss from continuing operations of $2,530,088 for the three months ended March 30, 2009 versus $2,583,573 for the same period ended March 30, 2008. This is related to the fact that the Company had no operations of North Country in the first quarter of 2008 while it had a full three months of operations in 2009.

The Company recognized a loss from discontinued operations of $868,902 for the three months ended March 30, 2009, compared to a net loss of $211,783 for the same period in 2008. The primary driver of the 2009 increase in losses was the recognition of the totality of lease obligations remaining on the life of closed Hackett’s stores.

Net losses for the periods ended March 30, 2009 and March 30, 2008 were $3,948,990 and $2,930,356, respectively. The primary drivers for the losses were losses from discontinued operations, increased SG&A expenses, a seasonal ebb in our hospitality holdings, and margin compression at Hackett’s.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operations have been funded to date primarily by loans (both bank loans and more recently convertible debentures), contributions by our founders and their associates, and profitable securities sales at Seaway Valley Fund, LLC. The net amount of the bank loans is reflected on our March 30, 2009 balance sheet in the aggregate amount of $9,574,752. The net amount of the convertible debentures is reflected on our March 30, 2009 balance sheet in the aggregate amount of $5,931,217.

On March 4, 2008, Seaway Valley Capital Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, WiseBuys Stores, Inc. and Patrick Hackett Hardware Company (collectively "Seaway" or the "Company"), consummated a five million dollar ($5,000,000) credit and security agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, acting through its Wells Fargo Business Credit operating division (the "Line of Credit"). The funds available under Line of Credit are based on the Company's current inventory with adjustments based on items such as accounts payable. The term of the Line of Credit is three years. The interest rate on the Line of Credit is equal to the sum of the Wells Fargo prime rate plus one and one-quarter percent (1.25%), which interest rate shall change when and as the Wells Fargo prime rate changes. These funds will be used for general working capital at the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the subsidiaries are required to maintain certain financial covenants including tangible net worth, net income and net cash flow amounts. At December 31, 2008 these covenants were not met.

The bank has declared the line of credit to be in default and has restricted certain cash receipts and disbursements of the Company until the line is repaid. The balance outstanding on the line of credit was $1,469,081 and $3,023,864 at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Due to the default, certain other long term obligations that may be callable by the holders have been classified as current in the accompanying financial statements.

In early January 2009, Wells Fargo initiated an advance rate reduction (from the original 55% of inventory) by 1% per week. In mid-January, Wells Fargo agreed to temporarily suspend the rate reduction in the event that Patrick Hackett Hardware Company raised an additional $2 million in equity capital or subordinated debt. The Company was not successful in these capital raising efforts, and in February 2009 Wells Fargo again commenced the reduction of the advance rate. On March 9th, March 18th and April 2nd, Wells Fargo issued default notices under the credit agreement, citing various default events such as failure to reach Tangible Net Worth, Net Cash Flow and Net Income milestones, as well as citing a change of control event as it related to the ALRN transaction. Additionally, Wells Fargo continued to reduce the advance rate, and the loan balance had been reduced from a peak of $4.7 million in December 2008 to approximately $1.2 million at this time.
