Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of
Panache LLC
New York, New York
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Panache LLC (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, changes in members’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the periods then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. 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 audits 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 Panache LLC as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

PANACHE LLC
CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of operations
Panache, LLC (“Panache”) was organized as a limited liability company in the State of New York on February 9, 2010. Panache is an alcoholic beverage company specializing in development, global sales and marketing of spirits brands, and as of December 31, 2010 owned 67% ownership of Wodka LLC (“Wodka”), a New York Limited Liability Company organized on August 14, 2009. Upon its organization, Panache assumed ownership of Wodka from a related party. Wodka imports vodka under the brand name Wodka for wholesale distribution to retailers located throughout the United States and internationally.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Panache and the accounts of its 67% owned subsidiary Wodka (collectively, the “Company”). All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Basis of presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and are presented in US dollars.
Accounting basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and US GAAP. The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, loans payable – related parties, consulting fees payable – related party, accrued interest, and other current liabilities. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents include bank demand deposits and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Accounts receivable
Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. We evaluate the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. When we are aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations, we record a specific allowance to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount we believe will be collected. We write off the uncollectible amount against the allowance when we have exhausted our collection efforts.
Inventory
Inventory, consisting entirely of finished goods, is stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined by the first-in, first-out method. Inventory consists of cases of bottled vodka.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. The costs of additions and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed in the period incurred. When items of property and equipment are sold or retired, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in income.
Depreciation of property and equipment is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:
Computer equipment 3 years
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (Continued)
Depreciation expense was $258 and $0 for the periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Income taxes
As limited liability companies, Panache and Wodka’s taxable income or loss is allocated to its members in accordance with their respective percentage ownership. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes has been included in these financial statements.
The Company recognizes and measures its unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles concerning income taxes. Under the guidance, the Company assesses the likelihood, based on their technical merit, that tax positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period. The measurement of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted when new information is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change.
Revenue recognition
We recognize revenue when title and risk of loss pass to the customer, typically when the product is shipped. Some sales contracts contain customer acceptance provisions that grant a right of return on the basis of either subjective or objective criteria. We record revenue net of the estimated cost of sales returns and allowances. Gross revenue was reduced due to sales returns and allowances by $28,482 and $0 during 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Sales discounts are recorded as a reduction of revenues and totaled $13,750 and $0 in 2010 and 2009, respectively.
From time to time the Company provides incentives to its customers in the form of free product. The costs associated with producing this product is included as an expense in costs of goods sold. No revenue is recognized with respect to such product giveaways. The Company gave away $5,400 and $0 of products in 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Excise taxes
Our sales are subject to excise taxes, which we collect from our customers and remit to governmental authorities. We present these taxes on a net basis in the consolidated statement of operations.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and aggregated $2,067,051 and $2,933 for the periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Shipping and handling
Shipping and handling charges billed to customers are included in revenue. The costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of goods sold.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently issued accounting standards
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its consolidated financial condition or the consolidated results of its operations.
NOTE 2 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company’s revenues are on open credit terms and governed by the terms specified in the contracts. The Company evaluates the need of an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that management believes to be uncollectible. If actual collections experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. Based on management review of outstanding balances, no allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. Bad debt expense was $729 and $0 for the periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
NOTE 3 – PREPAID EXPENSES
On August 9, 2010, Wodka entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with a third party whereby Wodka issued a 28% membership interest in Wodka to the third party. In exchange for the 28% membership interest, the third party is to provide Wodka with access to its out of home media space valued at $3,000,000 during a two year period and, further, is to incur up to an additional $250,000 of production and installment costs on behalf of Wodka. Upon consummation of the transaction, Wodka recorded paid in capital and prepaid advertising of $3,250,000. For the period ended December 31, 2010, $1,915,921 of advertising expense has been recognized in relation to this transaction and is included in advertising and marketing expense.

Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable.

From time to time the Company may also hold cash in accounts with foreign financial institutions. The Company regularly assesses the risk associated with its foreign cash portfolio. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition, but does not require collateral to support such receivables.
NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through January 6, 2012, the date on which these financial statements were available to be issued.
On August 19, 2011, the Company completed a stock exchange transaction with Panache Beverage, Inc. (“Panache Beverage”). Panache Beverage was incorporated in the State of Florida on December 28, 2004 under the name as Biometrix International Inc. On May 30, 2007, the Company changed its name to BMX Development Corp. On September 6, 2011, BMX Development Corp filed an Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Florida Secretary of State to change its name to Panache Beverage Inc.
The stock exchange transaction involved two simultaneous transactions:
The majority shareholder of the Panache Beverage delivered 2,560,000 shares of Panache Beverage’s common stock to the member of Panache in exchange for total payments of $125,000 in cash.
At the same time, Panache Beverage issued to the members of Panache an amount equal to 17,440,000 new investment shares of common stock of Panache Beverage, Inc. pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in exchange for one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding membership interest units of Panache from the members of Panache.
Upon completion of the exchange, Panache became wholly-owned subsidiary of the Panache Beverage, and Wodka, Panache’s 65%-owned subsidiary, became 65%-owned subsidiary of the Panache Beverage, Inc., and the former members of Panache then owned approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Panache Beverage, Inc.
