NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of operations

Panache Beverage Inc. ("the Company", "Panache Beverage", "Panache", "our Company", "we", "us", and similar references refer to Panache Beverage, Inc. and its subsidiaries). Panache was incorporated in the State of Florida on December 28, 2004 under the name Biometrix International Inc. On May 30, 2007, the Company changed its name to BMX Development Corp. On August 19, 2011, the Company completed a stock exchange transaction with Panache LLC, a New York limited liability company and in connection with such transaction changed its name to Panache Beverage Inc. to more accurately reflect its business. We currently own 65.5% 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.

The stock exchange transaction involved two simultaneous transactions:

The majority shareholder of the Company delivered 2,560,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to James Dale, our former CEO, in exchange for total payments of $125,000 in cash; and

The Company issued to the Panache LLC members an amount equal to 17,440,000 new shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding membership interest units of Panache LLC from the Panache members.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Panache Beverage, Inc., Panache LLC, Wodka LLC, Alibi NYC, LLC and Panache Distillery, LLC (collectively, the “Company”). All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with both generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that users of the interim financial information have read or have access to the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. The financial statements of the Company are presented in US dollars.

Accounting basis

The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end. Certain reclassifications were made to the 2013 financial statements presentation in order to conform to the 2014 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on reported income.

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. Under these provisions, customers can return products that are not merchantable and fit and suitable for their intended use, are not of the same premium quality as products currently in existence, or are defectively packaged, bottled or labeled. Customers may also return any product that does not comply with all applicable laws and regulations. We record revenue net of the estimated cost of sales returns and allowances.

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 4 – FACTORING AGREEMENTS

The Company is party to a purchase and sale factoring agreement with a commercial factor whereby the Company sells certain Alchemia accounts receivable to the factor. Under the terms of the agreement, the factor may, in its sole discretion, make advances to the Company of amounts representing up to 75% of the net amount of eligible accounts receivable up to an initial maximum of $250,000 for each brand and possible increased maximum of $1,000,000 and $500,000, respectively. The factor's purchase of the eligible accounts receivable includes a discount fee which is deducted from the face value of each collection. The Discount Fee is based on the number of days outstanding from the date of purchase. The Discount Fee is 3.0% if paid within 30 days and 1.0% for each 10 day period until the account is paid. Based on this arrangement, the Company is liable to the factor if the accounts receivable is not collected, and therefore the Company has accounted for cash received on factored receivables as a liability. We have not utilized this factoring arrangement since April 2014.

From time to time, the Company enters into purchase and sale factoring agreement with a different commercial factor whereby the Company sells certain accounts receivable to the factor. Under the terms of these agreements, the factor makes advances to the Company of amounts representing up to 90% of certain accounts receivable. The factor purchases the accounts receivable at a $500 discount plus monthly compounded interest of 2% of the factored amount for the period the factored accounts receivable remain outstanding. Based on this arrangement, the Company is liable to the factor if the accounts receivable is not collected, and therefore the Company has accounted for cash received on factored receivables as a liability.

In the third quarter of 2013, the Company entered into a factoring and advance agreement with a commercial factor whereby the Company sells its accounts receivables to the factor. Under the terms of the agreement, the factor may purchase individually or collectively any invoice of the Company if the Company agrees to sell them and make advances of amounts representing up to 85% of the net amount of eligible accounts receivable up to $2,000,000. The factor's purchase of the eligible accounts receivable includes a discount fee which is deducted from the face value of each collection. The discount fee is based on the number of days outstanding from the date of purchase and shall be 2.5% if paid within 30 days and 0.85% for each 10 day period until the account is paid. Based on this arrangement, the Company is liable to the factor if the accounts receivable is not collected, and therefore the Company has accounted for cash received on factored receivables as a liability.

The combined balance due to the factors as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $178,528 and $312,500, respectively. Factor expense charged to operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $182,867 and $46,422, respectively, and $204,294 and $111,733 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Concurrent with the issuance of the note, the managing director of Consilium Investment Management, LLC (“CIM”) was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company.

Pursuant to the Default Notice, Consilium agreed not to charge the default interest rate or late fee on the outstanding obligations and does not intend to exercise any other rights and remedies available to it at this time, but reserved the right to do so.

As part of the Loan Modification Agreement, the interest rate of the obligations under the Previous Loans was reduced to 4% per annum until December 31, 2015, which interest shall be compounded, capitalized and added to the unpaid principal amount of such obligations quarterly. After December 31, 2015, the principal amount of the obligations shall bear interest at 10% per annum, payable as prescribed under the terms of the Previous Loans.

NOTE 13 – CONCENTRATIONS AND RISK – (Continued)

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with commercial banking institutions. At times, such cash may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s insurance limit. 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 – LOSS PER SHARE
 
Basic net gain/loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. There was no dilutive earnings per share due to net losses during the periods.

NOTE 15 – GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company’s net loss attributable to stockholders was approximately $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and approximately $4.5 million and $3.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

At June 30, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $640 thousand, an accumulated deficit of approximately $12 million and our available cash at June 30, 2014 is insufficient to meet our operating requirements for the next twelve months. The Company will require additional funds to meet its working capital needs, execute its business strategy and further develop its business.

Management expects that the Company’s operating expenses will continue to consume a significant portion of its cash resources and that it will not be able to generate gross profits in amounts necessary to offset or exceed such expenses for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, management anticipates that the Company will continue to record net losses in future periods. Management has taken certain actions and continues to implement changes designed to improve the Company’s financial results and operating cash flows. The actions involve certain cost-saving initiatives and growing strategies, including (a) reductions
 
 
F-16

 
 
NOTE 15 – GOING CONCERN – (Continued)

in operating expenses and (b) expansion of the business model into new markets. Management is evaluating other steps that it may be able to take to reduce its operating expenses and increase gross profits, but management cannot predict if or when the Company will achieve net income.

The Company’s ability to continue is highly dependent to funding from its senior lender and principal stockholder to fund its current and planned operating levels. In addition to reducing operating costs and increasing gross profits, management’s plan for funding future operations may include additional equity or debt financings. No assurance can be given, however, that financing will be available at desirable times, amounts or terms, if at all.

These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In the event that the Company’s operations do not generate sufficient cash flows to fund operations and/or the Company is unable to obtain additional funds on a timely basis, the Company may be forced to curtail or cease its activities, which would likely result in the loss to investors of all or a substantial portion of their investment and uncertainty as to the payment of its obligations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments necessary to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 16 – CEDC SETTLEMENT

As of April 7, 2014, Wodka LLC and Panache LLC had accounts payable recorded as due to CEDC international (“CEDC”) of $358,719.30 and $65,453.20, respectively.

On April 8, 2014, the Company settled the balance owed with CEDC resulting in a $424,172 gain. In consideration for CEDC not requiring Wodka LLC and Panache LLC to pay their respective accounts payable balances due CEDC, the Company agreed to pay CEDC a total of $275,000, with minimum monthly payments of $15,000. Should the Company pay prior to December 31, 2014, the total will be discounted by $25,000.00. The balance must be paid in full no later than March 31, 2015. The payment schedule allows for goods to be released pro rata that have been stored at the Polish distillery.

NOTE 17 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date on which these financial statements were available to be issued.

On July 7, 2014, in connection with that certain Factoring Agreement, dated February 11, 2014, by and among Natwest Finance Limited, a New Zealand corporation (“Natwest”), Wodka, LLC, Panache, LLC and James Dale, we received written notice from Natwest of demand for repayment of the aggregate principal amount and interest due of $190,032 as of June 30, 2014. Management disputes the claim made by Natwest.

On July 8, 2014, David Shara, a director of the Company, purchased 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $45,000. In connection with such purchase, Consilium and its affiliates waived all rights of first refusal under its loan agreements and anti-dilution protection under warrants held by such entities.

Overview and Recent Events

Panache Beverage Inc. ("the Company", "Panache Beverage", "Panache", "our Company", "we", "us", and similar references refer to Panache Beverage, Inc. and its subsidiaries) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida in 2004 and reincorporated in the State of Delaware in 2013. We are an alcoholic beverage company originally specializing in the development and aggressive early growth of spirits brands in order to establish our assets as viable and attractive acquisition candidates for the major global spirits companies. Panache’s initial focus was to build its brands as individual acquisition candidates while continuing to develop its pipeline of new brands into the Panache portfolio. Panache's existing portfolio contains spirit brands and the Panache Distillery, LLC. Panache purchased the Empire Winery and Distillery in New Port Richey, FL in August 2013 and opened Panache Distillery LLC. Panache entered the distillery business to strengthen its core business offering. Additionally, Panache Distillery offers third party contract distillation and co-packing adding a new revenue stream to the Panache business. The two central facets of the Panache value creation strategy are the growth of existing assets and creation of brand assets to develop inside the portfolio. Panache is committed to delivering on these strategies through innovation – made possible through the acquisition of the distillery and its capabilities. Using our key industry relationships, we expect to create true asset value through our investment in Panache Distillery. In Q2 of 2014, we installed our bottle.
 
Notice of Default under Consilium Loan Agreements
 
On May 6, 2014, we received written notice from Consilium (the “Default Notice”) of certain events of defaults under that certain Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2013, as amended to date, and the ancillary promissory notes and related loan documents related thereto (collectively, the “Amended Loan Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Default Notice, Consilium has agreed not to charge the default interest rate or late fee on the outstanding obligations and does not intend to exercise any other rights and remedies available to it at this time, but reserves the right to do so.

Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company pledged certain of its assets to Consilium, including (i) its second priority security interest in the real and personal property constituting the distillery own by Panache Distillery, LLC, pursuant to the Distillery Mortgage, (ii) its security interest in its membership interests in Panache, LLC, Panache USA, LLC, Alibi NYC, LLC, Alchemy International, LLC and Panache Distillery, LLC, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2013, (iii) trademarks held by its subsidiaries Alibi NYC, LLC and Alchemy International, LLC pursuant to a Trademark Security Agreement and (iv) its depository account and the escrow account holding funds yet to be disbursed pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, pursuant to a Pledge and Assignment of Depository Account. In addition, the Amended Loan Agreement is additionally secured by the limited guaranty of Panache, LLC, Alibi NYC, LLC, and Alchemy International, LLC.

The Amended Loan Agreement was also secured by certain stock pledge agreements with certain former officers and director of the Company and MIS Beverage Holdings, LLC, who pledged an aggregate of 19,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as collateral.

In connection with the Default Notice, on May 8, 2014, we entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with Consilium which provided that Consilium would not exercise any of its rights under the Loan Agreement for a period ending on June 6, 2014, which period was extended until June 13, 2014. In addition, the Forbearance Agreement allowed the Company to draw down the remaining $200,000 held in escrow under the Amended Loan Agreement.

On June 18, 2014, in connection with the 2013 Loan Agreement we received written notice from Consilium (the “Wodka Default Notice”) of an event of default under the 2013 Loan Agreement in connection with a missed quarterly payment of interest of $62,533.33. On July 2, 2014, the cure period for remedying this event of default expired without payment. The aggregate principal amount due under the 2013 Loan Agreement as of the date hereof is $1,400,000.
 
The 2013 Loan Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of an event of default, among other things, all obligations of the Company owed to Consilium will bear the interest at the default rate of 17% per annum while such defaults exist and the Company is required to pay Consilium a late fee of 5% of any monthly installment of principal, interest and/or fees and expenses. In addition, upon the election of Consilium, all obligations under the 2013 Loan Agreement may become immediately due and payable.

Pursuant to the Wodka Default Notice, Consilium has stated that it has certain rights and remedies available to it under the 2013 Loan Agreement which it has not waived and that it expressly reserves all of its rights under the 2013 Loan Agreement, including, but not limited to, the right to assert the existence of an Event of Default (as defined in the 2013 Loan Agreement); to declare all obligation due under the 2013 Loan Agreement immediately due and payable, to commence any legal or other action to collect any of the obligations owed Consilium or foreclose or otherwise realize on the collateral secured under the 2013 Loan Agreement. Consilium has agreed that is not at this time seeking to charge the default interest rate or late fee on the outstanding obligations and that it does not currently intend to exercise any other rights and remedies available to it at this time.

Pursuant to the 2013 Loan Agreement, Panache pledged to Consilium as collateral (i) all of its equity interests in Wodka (constituting 65.5% of such equity interests) and (ii) its depository account, pursuant to a Pledge and Assignment of Depository Account.

Restructuring Agreement with Consilium

On June 11, 2014, the Company entered into the Restructuring Agreement, in consideration for the cancellation of approximately $1,164,000 principal amount of indebtedness under the Previous Loans, certain former officers and directors of the Company agreed to transfer an aggregate of 16,629,876 shares of the Company’s common stock to Consilium or its designated assignee and to cancel warrants to purchase an aggregate 1,200,000 shares of Company common stock held by them. In connection with such transactions, Consilium terminated various stock pledge and security agreements it had entered into with such individuals. As additional consideration for entering into the transactions associated with the Restructuring Agreement, an affiliate of Consilium was issued three-year warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable at $0.15 per share, vesting over a two-year period.
 
As part of the Restructuring Agreement, the Company entered into a Loan Modification Agreement with Consilium that, amongst other things, in addition to reducing the principal amount of the Previous Loans, waived all current defaults under the Previous Loans and added the additional $345,000 of funding through June 11, 2014 to the principal amount of the Previous Loans. The Loan Modification Agreement also required the capitalization of accrued but unpaid interest, as of June 11, 2014, in the aggregate amount of $266,545, making the newly combined restructured principal balance due Consilium $5,758,121, as of June 11, 2014. From June 12, 2014 through June 30, 2014, Consilium provided additional funding of $300,000, making the principal balance of the new restructured loans $6,058,121, as of June 30, 2014

As part of the Loan Modification Agreement and the interest rate of the obligations under the Previous Loans was reduced to 4% per annum until December 31, 2015, which interest shall be compounded, capitalized and added to the unpaid principal amount of such obligations quarterly. After December 31, 2015, the principal amount of the obligations shall bear interest at 10% per annum, payable as prescribed under the Previous Loans. In addition, the Lender terminated a stock pledge and security agreement with MIS Beverage Holdings, LLC, a principal stockholder, thereby releasing 2,000,000 shares of common stock as collateral under the Previous Loans and the Company authorized the Lender to record and otherwise perfect its security interest in the Company’s distillery property. In connection with such security interest, Consilium and the Company’s Panache Distillery, LLC subsidiary entered into a subordination agreement with the holders of the first mortgage on the distillery property setting forth the respective rights and obligations of such lenders with respect to such security interests.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments for all assets and liabilities, including those related to stock-based compensation expense and the fair value determined for stock purchase warrants classified as derivative liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current economic and industry conditions and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. This forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from our 2013 Annual Report.

We believe that full consideration has been given to all relevant circumstances that we may be subject to, and the consolidated financial statements accurately reflect our best estimate of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented.

Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

Revenues

Net revenues were $655,689 and $1,425,435 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and were $1,290,606 and $2,842,573 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We currently generate our revenues mostly from sales of distilled spirits. The revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of a sale exists, transfer of title has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Our sales arrangements are not subject to warranty. Gross revenue was reduced due to sales returns and allowances by $815 and $6,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $815 and $6,383 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The decrease in quarterly revenues from 2013 to 2014 was most attributable to changes implemented in our distribution strategies which were not as successful. A shortfall in sales did not allow for anticipated inventory depletions.

Cost of Goods Sold
 
Cost of goods sold included expenses directly related to selling our products including product delivery, broker fees and direct labor. Cost of goods sold was $490,765, or approximately 75% of revenue, and $855,131, or approximately 60% of revenue, during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $1,006,631, or approximately 78% of revenue, and $1,715,558, or approximately 60% of revenue, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The increase in cost of goods sold in the second quarter of 2014 as a percentage of revenue was attributable the implementation of distribution strategy changes which resulted in a decrease of revenues.

Expenses
 
Operating expenses were $510,707 and $1,478,054 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $2,030,204 and $2,929,027 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Consulting expenses decreased $67,356 and general and administrative expenses decreased $810,299 in the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, due to the Company restructure and overhead expense reduction programs. Consulting expenses were $424,988 and $291,235 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and general and administrative expenses were $809,817 and $1,557,620 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively. Do to $512,422 of accrued bonuses, salaries and related payroll expenses being reversed in the three months ended June 30, 2014, the total general and administrative expenses for the quarter were ($15,640).

Net Loss

The Company’s net loss for stockholders was $288,147 and $935,888 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $1,723,686 and 1,744,403 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in Net Losses was attributable to the Company restructure, overhead expense reduction programs and the ramping up of our distillery operations and its contribution to revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity generally include operating cash flows and financing from our senior lender, Consilium. Our principal uses of liquidity generally include capital expenditures and working capital.

Cash flows used in operating activities were $326,013 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to cash flows used in operating activities of $5,308,920 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Cash flows from operations in the first six months of 2014 resulted primarily from a decrease in restricted cash of $1,734,950 offset by a net loss of $1,723,686. Negative cash flows from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were due mostly to the net loss of $1,744,403, plus the loss allocated to non-controlling interest of $170,360, partially offset by non-cash expenses of $374,735 from issuing stock and warrants to employees and external professionals for services rendered.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $747,257 and $1,087 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, resulting from the purchase of distillery equipment.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $440,386 and $4,646,577 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Positive cash flows from financing activities during the second quarter of 2014 were due primarily to the proceeds from Consilium. Positive cash flows from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 were due primarily to issuance of long term debt in the amount of $5,400,000 partially offset by reduction in factor liabilities of $317,262, the net $191,960 repayment of related party notes payable, and repayment of notes payable in the amount of $267,062.
 
We had cash on hand of $276,200 as of June 30, 2014 including restricted cash. We expect this amount, to be insufficient to fund future operating cash flow and will require additional capital. The Company is in the process of evaluating potential sources of such capital and may use equity and/or debt instruments to fund its future operating cash flow or enter into a strategic arrangement with one or more third parties.

The Company is currently reviewing its business strategies taking significant steps toward reducing overhead, implementing revised sales and marketing strategies. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital to develop our business plan, we may need to:
 
Curtail launch of new products and lines of business
Forgo opportunities to secure supply of bulk spirits and to enter into certain agreements at Panache Distillery
Limit our future marketing efforts to areas that we believe would be the most profitable.
Terminate key employee and consultant agreements.

Our cash at June 30, 2014 is insufficient to meet our operating requirements for the next twelve months and we must obtain significant additional capital resources in order to maintain the current cash needs and our product development efforts, production capabilities, general and administrative expenses and other working capital requirements are dependent on such funding. Accordingly, we lack liquidity and capital resources and are dependent on Consilium’s continued financing of the Company. In the alternative, we may seek to use debt and equity financing to raise additional capital. However, we have no formal agreements with either our senior lender or any third parties to issue any debt or equity securities and cannot predict whether equity or debt financing will become available at acceptable terms, if at all. Moreover, in light of the current unfavorable economic conditions and other factors, including our development stage and our ability to continue as a going concern, we do not believe that any such financing is likely to be in place in the immediate future.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including unrecorded derivative instruments that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. We have certain warrants and options outstanding but we do not expect to receive sufficient proceeds from the exercise of these instruments unless and until the underlying securities are registered, and/or all restrictions on trading, if any, are removed, and in either case the trading price of our Common Stock is significantly greater than the applicable exercise prices of the options and warrants.

Effect of Inflation and Changes in Prices

Management does not believe that inflation and changes in price will have a material effect on the Company’s operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The information to be reported under this item is not required of smaller reporting companies.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
The Company failed to timely file its amended annual report on Form 10K/A for the year ended December 31, 2013, its quarter report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, and this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, which demonstrates that its Disclosure Controls and Procedures have been inadequate.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, the Certifying Officers carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014. Their evaluation was carried out with the participation of other members of the Company’s management. Based on an evaluation conducted by the Certifying Officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), the Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2014 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Certifying Officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review. However, as a result of our evaluation and review process, management believes that the financial statements and other information presented herewith are materially correct.

Going forward from this filing, the Company intends to re-establish and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company has made changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period ended June 30, 2014, and anticipated completing its implementation of said controls during the third quarter of 2014.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Natwest Finance Limited v. Julia Drew, et al. District Court of New South Wales, Australia, No. 2012/267599. In this action filed in August 2012, Natwest Finance Limited, a New Zealand corporation (“Natwest”) sued Drew seeking to collect on a debt Drew owed to two subsidiaries of the Company pursuant to a guaranty that had been assigned to Natwest. The Company became involved as a result of dispute over the alleged wrongful termination of a distribution agreement involving Pure Beverage Pty. Ltd, Drew and Natwest and conflicting claims over the ownership of product located in the UK. In November 2013, there was a settlement in the case which (a) resolved the dispute between Natwest and Drew, along with the dispute between the Company (and its subsidiaries) and Pure regarding ownership of the UK product; (b) confirmed Pure's ownership of the UK product; (c) included general releases between (1) Natwest, Drew and Pure, and (2) the Panache Parties, Drew and Pure (including claims under the distribution agreement); and (d) placed on each party the responsibility for paying their own costs. The Company has been paying Natwest’s legal bills in this matter. To date, $105,299 has been paid in Natwest legal fees.

On July 7, 2014, in connection with that certain Factoring Agreement, dated February 11, 2014, by and among Natwest, Wodka, LLC, Panache, LLC and James Dale, our former chief executive officer, we received written notice from Natwest of demand for repayment of the aggregate principal amount and interest due of $190,032 as of June 30, 2014. Management disputes the claim made by Natwest.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
The report issued by our independent registered public accounting firm with respect to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 includes an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern, the existence of which may adversely affect our ability to raise capital

In their report dated March 21, 2014 on our audited financial statements that were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, our independent registered public accounting firm expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have a history of incurring losses and negative cash flows from operations, have an accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2014, and will require additional financing to fund operations beyond June 30, 2014. The financial statements included in this Quarterly Report do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue in business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to obtain necessary funding from outside sources, which may include obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities. The risk that we may not continue as a going concern may cause investors to lose confidence in the Company, which may have a material and adverse effect on the market prices of our securities. In addition, this risk may prevent us from obtaining financing in the amounts that management believes are necessary to fund operations for the remainder of 2014 and/or on terms that are favorable to us. If we are unable to obtain the financing that we need to fund future operations, then we could be required to cease or significantly curtail our operations and investors could lose their entire investments.

We have had limited profitability and continue to incur significant operating losses similar to the past and may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability in the future.

We have experienced significant cumulative operating losses since our inception and limited profitability. Our net loss attributable to Panache Beverage, Inc. for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $4,582,669 and $3,267,065, respectively and for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $288,147 and $935,888, respectively. In addition, we had an accumulated deficit of $10,366,003 as of December 31, 2013 and $12,089,689 as of June 30, 2014. We anticipate that we may continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future. Consequently, it is possible that we may never achieve positive earnings and, if we do achieve positive earnings, we may not be able to achieve them on a sustainable basis. If we are unable to achieve or sustain profitability, we may need to curtail, suspend or terminate certain operations. We have very limited cash available to meet our obligations at this time.

 
10

 
 
Our debts currently exceed our assets and all of our assets are pledged to secure such indebtedness. The inability to repay such indebtedness would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and ability to continue as a going concern.
 
We are currently operating at a loss but are decreasing our operating expenses in order to reduce go-forward losses, in connection with the modification of our business operations and business plan. At June 30, 2014, we had total current assets of $1,569,312 and current liabilities of $2,209,006, resulting in negative working capital of $(639,694). In addition, at June 30, 2014, we had total assets of $5,734,765 and total liabilities of $13,167,127, resulting in stockholders’ deficit of $7,432,362. At June 30, 2014, we had unrestricted cash of $68,992.

As of June 30, 2014, Consilium had approximately $7,458,121 of principal owing under its senior secured indebtedness and $3,500,000 principal amount of secured indebtedness to the sellers of our distillery property. This indebtedness is senior in right of payment to almost all other indebtedness of the Company. The Company’s obligations to the sellers of the our distillery property are secured by a first mortgage on such property and our obligations to Consilium are by substantially all of our assets used in continuing operations, including a second mortgage on the distillery property. If we do not have sufficient capital to pay interest and/or repay principal under these obligations as and when they become due, then the Company would be in default under such obligations, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, our ability to raise capital in the future and our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, the terms of the some of the obligations contain various affirmative and negative covenants which could restrict the manner in which we conduct business. If we were to default in any of such covenants or otherwise default under these obligations, then the lenders could, among other actions, accelerate the maturity dates of the indebtedness and exercise their rights to, among other things, foreclose on our assets.
 
Consilium has been a significant source of our financing and although they restructured our debt, we may not have the resources to pay our debt to Consilium or the sellers of our distillery property.
 
Since 2012, we have received our financing primarily from Consilium, which after the restructure now aggregates $7,458,121 of secured indebtedness to date. Other than our distillery assets, on which the sellers of such property currently hold a first mortgage, all of our other assets are currently pledged to Consilium, who also holds a second mortgage on the distillery property. If we are unable to repay our obligations to Consilium or the sellers of our distillery property when they become due the assets of the Company may be seized in order to satisfy our outstanding obligations.

Our indebtedness reduces our financial flexibility and could impede our ability to operate or obtain additional financing to complete subsequent stages of our business plan.

Our loan agreements with Consilium required us to provide security for the debt in the form of liens on our assets, including but not limited to, our holdings in our subsidiaries, our trademarks, our distillery and other valuable assets of the Company. The existence of these liens may preclude us from financing future obligations. In addition to these obligations to Consilium, we have other indebtedness totaling $5,709,006 as of June 30, 2014.
 
We may need to raise additional capital.

We are currently operating at a loss and there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient, if any, operating profits to fund our operations and unforeseen costs, delays and problems could result in our inability to fund operations. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue and cash flow from operations, we will need to seek additional financing, either through borrowings, public offerings, private offerings, or some type of business combination (e.g., merger, buyout, etc.). Such additional financing may not be readily available, if at all, and even if such financing is available, it may not be available on acceptable terms. While Consilium has been funding our operations, there are no assurances that it wishes, or will be able, to continue funding us at the levels necessary to meet our continued working capital needs. If we do not have sufficient capital, we may not be able to achieve or maintain competitiveness or continue to operate our business, and, more significantly, we might default under certain of our contractual obligations, including, without limitation, our payment obligations to our senior lender and the sellers of our distillery property. In that case, we may be required to delay, scale back, or eliminate the development of business opportunities and our operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected. Additional debt financing, if obtained, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, could increase our expenses, and require that our assets be provided as a security for such debt. Additional debt financing would also be required to be repaid regardless of our operating results. Equity financing, if obtained, could result in dilution to our then existing stockholders and/or require such stockholders to waive certain rights and preferences.

 
11

 
 
Our Senior Lender is our controlling stockholder.
 
Pursuant to the Restructuring Agreement, Consilium acquired 16,629,876 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock from former officers and directors of the Company, and an affiliate of Consilium was issued a warrant to purchase 2,500,000 shares of our common stock. In addition, another affiliate of Consilium holds warrants to purchase an aggregate 4,600,000 additional shares of common stock. Accordingly, Consilium now has the ability to control the election of our directors and the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, such as: (i) a merger or a sale of our company, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and (iii) amendments to our articles of incorporation and bylaws. This concentration of voting power and control could have a significant effect in delaying, deferring or preventing an action that might otherwise be beneficial to our other stockholders and be disadvantageous to our stockholders with interests different from Consilium.
 
We are modifying our business model which is expected to continue to evolve and, accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will generate revenue sufficient to sustain our operations in the near future, if ever.
 
In lieu of brand sales projections falling short and realization that gross profit goals have been significantly less than expected, the Company will focus most of its resources into achieving contract value at Panache Distillery. In order to be successful, our current and future product and service offerings will need to continue to achieve broad market acceptance. Our ability to generate significant revenue will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract a sufficient number of customers. We are subject to the all of the risks, uncertainties, expenses, delays, problems and difficulties typically encountered in the growth of an emerging business and the development and market acceptance of new products and services.
 
Our future success is dependent on our existing key employees and hiring and assimilating new key employees; our inability to attract or retain key personnel in the future would materially harm our business and results of operations.

Our success depends on the continuing efforts and abilities of our current management team. In addition, our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled employees, including management, logistics and sales personnel. The loss of the services of any of our key personnel, the inability to attract or retain key personnel in the future, or delays in hiring required personnel could materially harm our business and results of operations. In addition, we could experience business disruption and/or increased costs related to organizational changes, reductions in workforce, or other cost-cutting measures.
 
The success of our business relies on brand image, reputation, and product quality.
 
It is important we have the ability to maintain and increase the image and reputation of our existing products. Concerns about product quality, even when unsubstantiated, could be harmful to our image and reputation of our products. Deterioration to our brand equity may have a material effect on our business and financial results.

We have in the past, and may continue in the future, to rely upon a limited number of Major Customers for our products.

The Company had two customers representing approximately 76% and 85% of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These customers represented approximately 0% and 79% of the receivables outstanding as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. While we recently named DSWE as our importer which has improved our inventory depletion, there can be no assurances that our reliance on a limited number of customers will improve.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Markets OTCQB under the symbol “WDKA”. To date, however, trading activity in our common stock has been extremely limited. There is no assurance as to the depth or liquidity of any such market or the prices at which holders may be able to sell the securities.
 
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets OTCQB under the symbol “WDKA”. To date, however, trading activity in our common stock has been extremely limited. Because of this limited trading volume, holders of our securities may not be able to sell quickly any significant number of such shares, and any attempted sale of a large number of our shares will likely have a material adverse impact on the price of our common stock. Because of the limited number of shares being traded, the price per share is subject to volatility and may continue to be subject to rapid price swings in the future.
 
 
12

 
 
The price of our common stock is volatile.

The price of our common stock has fluctuated substantially. The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile as a result of factors specific to us and the securities markets in general. Factors affecting volatility may include: variations in our annual or quarterly financial results or those of our competitors; economic conditions in general; and changes in applicable laws or regulations, or their judicial or administrative interpretations affecting us or our subsidiaries or the securities industry. In addition, volatility of the market price of our common stock is further affected by its thinly-traded nature.

There are risks associated with our common stock trading on the OTCQB rather than on a national exchange.

There may be significant consequences associated with our common stock trading on the OTCQB rather than a national exchange. The effects of not being able to list our common stock securities on a national exchange include:

 
limited release of the market price of our securities;
     
 
limited news coverage;
     
 
limited interest by investors in our securities;
     
 
volatility of our common stock price due to low trading volume;
     
 
increased difficulty in selling our securities in certain states due to "blue sky" restrictions; and
     
 
limited ability to issue additional securities or to secure additional financing.

We never have and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
 
We have paid no cash dividends on our common stock to date. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business, and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future on shares of our common stock. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be the sole source of gain for the foreseeable future for our common stockholders.
 
Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations and the FINRA’s sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
Our common shares may be deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is defined in Regulation Section "240.3a51-1" of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Penny stocks are stocks: (a) with a price of less than U.S. $5.00 per share; (b) that are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (c) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ - where listed stocks must still meet requirement (a) above); or (d) in issuers with net tangible assets of less than U.S. $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or U.S. $5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than U.S. $6,000,000 for the last three years.
 
 
13

 
 
Under these penny stock rules, broker-dealers that recommend such securities to persons other than institutional accredited investors:

 
must make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser;
     
 
receive the purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior to sale;
     
 
provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents which identify certain risks associated with investing in "penny stocks" and which describe the market for these "penny stocks" as well as a purchaser's legal remedies; and
     
 
obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment from the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the required risk disclosure document before a transaction in a "penny stock" can be completed.

Accordingly, broker-dealers may find it difficult to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected. As a result, the market price of our securities may be depressed, and stockholders may find it more difficult to sell our securities.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
 
On July 8, 2014, David Shara, a director of the Company, purchased 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $45,000. In connection with such purchase, Consilium and its affiliates waived all rights of first refusal under its loan agreements and anti-dilution protection under warrants held by such entities. Exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the issuance of the warrants was based on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The proceeds from this issuance were used for general working capital needs.
