REED’S, INC. 
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
September 30, 2006 (UNAUDITED)
 
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying interim condensed financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management of Reeds, Inc. (the Company), contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2006 and the results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements.
 
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although management of the Company believes that the disclosures contained in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading. For further information, refer to the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report, Form 10-KSB/A, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 27, 2006.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.

Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted income per share is calculated assuming the issuance of common shares, if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of stock options and warrants. As the Company had a loss in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, basic and diluted loss per share are the same because the inclusion of common share equivalents would be anti-dilutive.
 
Going Concern

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company had a net loss of $1,357,797 and utilized cash of $1,155,982 in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and had a working capital deficiency of $2,237,300 and stockholders’ deficiency of $779,548 at September 30, 2006. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty. The Company is conducting an initial public offering of its stock. The maximum amount of common stock to be sold is 2,000,000 shares at $4.00, of which 1,763,881 shares have been sold by November 17, 2006 which will result in net proceeds to the Company of $6,349,971. Management has received enough interest in the offering which leads it to believe the maximum amount of the offering will be sold, however no assurance can be made that any additional shares will be sold as a result of the offering. See Note 9 for information related to the common stock offering.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” a replacement of existing accounting pronouncements. SFAS 154 modifies accounting and reporting requirements when a company voluntarily chooses to change an accounting principle or correct an accounting error. SFAS 154 requires retroactive restatement of prior period financial statements unless it is impractical. Previous accounting guidelines allowed recognition by cumulative effect in the period of the accounting change. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
 
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155,“Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”, an amendment of SFAS 133 and 140. These SFAS’s deal with derivative and hedging activities, accounting for transfers and servicing of financial instruments and extinguishment of liabilities. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued in an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company does not engage in the activities described in these SFAS’s and does not have any intention of engaging in those activities when SFAS 155 becomes effective. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 155, and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of operations or financial position.
FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” establishes a formal framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. It defines and codifies the many definitions of fair value included among various other authoritative literature, clarifies and, in some instances, expands on the guidance for implementing fair value measurements, and increases the level of disclosure required for fair value measurements. Although SFAS no. 157 applies to and amends the provisions of existing FASB and AICPA pronouncements, it does not, of itself, require any new fair value measurements, nor does it establish valuation standards. SFAS No. 157 applies to all other accounting pronouncements requiring or permitting fair value measurements, except for; SFAS no. 123 (R), share-based payment and related pronouncements, the practicability exceptions to fair value determinations allowed by various other authoritative pronouncements, and AICPA Statements of Position 97-2 and 98-9 that deal with software revenue recognition. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
   
2.
Concentrations
 
The Company’s cash balances on deposit with banks are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. The Company may be exposed to risk for the amounts of funds held in one bank in excess of the insurance limit. In assessing the risk, the Company’s policy is to maintain cash balances with high quality financial institutions. The Company had cash balances in excess of the $100,000 guarantee during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 the Company had two customers, which accounted for approximately 45% and 19% of sales, respectively. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of sales in either year. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had approximately $354,000 and $149,000, respectively of accounts receivable from these customers.

Lines of credit
 
In June 2006, one of the Company’s lines of credit expired. The Company renewed this line of credit with its current lender through update. The renewed line of credit is secured by accounts receivable and inventory in the maximum amounts of $1,400,000. The borrowing base on the accounts receivable are 80% of all eligible receivables, which are primarily accounts receivables under 90 days. The inventory borrowing base is 50% of eligible inventory. The interest rate to be charged on these borrowings is Prime plus 4.00%. As of September 30, 2006, the amounts borrowed on this line of credit were $1,290,722. The amount available to borrow was $109,278. No changes were made to other lines of credit agreements appearing in the Company’s Annual Report, Form 10-KSB/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 27, 2006. The amount borrowed on these lines of credit as of September 30, 2006 was $727,116.
 
5.
Long term debt
 
In June 2006, the Company, in connection with its line of credit renewal described in Note 4, consolidated its equipment line of credit and its equipment installment loan with its lender. The interest rate on this consolidated loan is Prime plus 4.00% and is secured by certain equipment and property of the Company. The loan requires payments of principal of $7,500 per month, plus interest, until paid in full. No changes were made to other long term debt agreements appearing in the Company’s Annual Report, Form 10-KSB/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 27, 2006.

Common Stock Offering
 
From August 3, 2005 through April 7, 2006, we issued 333,156 shares of our common stock in connection with our initial public offering pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form SB-2. Management has determined that the shares may have been issued in violation of securities laws and extended a rescission offer to purchase up to all of the shares sold to date in the offering. The rescission offer commenced in August 2006 and ceased in September 2006. The amount of shares submitted for rescission were 31,020, which resulted in total proceeds being paid of $129,444. In accordance with the terms of our rescission, the proceeds where paid by others and they retained the shares submitted for rescission
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company sold 278,550 shares of common stock for proceeds of $1,002,779, net of commissions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, previously deferred stock offering costs of $356,238 and additional stock offering costs incurred during the period of $217,287 were charged to additional paid in capital.

See Note 9 for the results of the Company’s initial public offering occurring subsequent to September 30, 2006.

Legal Proceedings and Litigation Fees
 
During 2005 and 2006, the Company incurred litigation fees associated with a law suit which the Company has won. The Plaintiff has lost its appeal. The judgment in favor of the Company is to have the Plaintiff reimburse the Company for its legal defense costs. The Company is in the processing of perfecting its judgment and will record income from the judgment when the monies are collected.

On January 20 , 2006, Consac Industries, Inc. (dba Long Life Teas and Long Life Beverages) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against Reed’s Inc. and Christopher Reed, Case No. CV06-0376. The complaint asserts claims for negligence, breach of contract, breach of warranty, and breach of express indemnity relating to Reed’s, Inc.’s manufacture of approximately 13,000 cases of “Prism Green Tea Soda” for Consac. Consac contends that we negligently manufactured the soda resulting in at least one personal injury. Consac seeks $2.6 million in damages, plus interest and attorneys fees. We contend that Consac was responsible for the soda’s condition by providing a defective formula which had not been adequately tested. In May 2006 both parties agreed to a mediation proceeding which was expected to commence in the third quarter of 2006. The parties have decided to move to a trial. The trial is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2007. We believe that we will successfully defend Consac’s claims. While there is no assurance, we believe that the Consac litigation will have no material adverse effect upon our operations.

Overview

We develop, manufacture, market, and sell natural non-alcoholic and “New Age” beverages, candies and ice creams. “New Age Beverages” is a category that includes natural soda, fruit juices and fruit drinks, ready-to-drink teas, sports drinks, and water. We currently manufacture, market and sell six unique product lines:

 
·
Reed’s Ginger Brews,

 
·
Virgil’s Root Beer and Cream Sodas,

 
·
China Colas,

 
·
Reed’s Ginger Juice Brews,

 
·
Reed’s Ginger Candies, and

 
·
Reed’s Ginger Ice Creams

We sell most of our products in specialty gourmet and natural food stores, supermarket chains, retail stores and restaurants in the United States and, to a lesser degree, in Canada. We primarily sell our products through a network of natural, gourmet and independent distributors. We also maintain an organization of in-house sales managers who work mainly in the stores serviced by our natural, gourmet and mainstream distributors and with our distributors. We also work with regional, independent sales representatives who maintain store and distributor relationships in a specified territory. In Southern California, we have our own direct distribution system.

Trends, Risks, Challenges, Opportunities That May or Are Currently Affecting Our Business

Our main challenges, trends, risks, and opportunities that could affect or are affecting our financial results include but are not limited to:

Fuel Prices -Our freight rates were approximately 9.7% of net sales during 2005. We expect freight rates to increase by an additional 5% to 10% in 2006 as a result of the continuing increase in fuel prices. However, as we increase production at the Brewery for delivery of products in the western half of the United States, we expect to offset this trend, at least in part, by reducing our need for cross-country freight services from our eastern co-packing facility.

9

Low Carbohydrate Diets and Obesity - Our products are not geared for the low carbohydrate market. Consumer trends have reflected higher demand for lower carbohydrate products. Despite this trend, we achieved an increase in our sales growth in the first six months of 2006. We monitor these trends closely and have started developing low-carbohydrate versions of some of our beverages, although we do not have any currently marketable low-carbohydrate products.

Distribution Consolidation - There has been a recent trend towards continued consolidation of the beverage distribution industry through mergers and acquisitions. This consolidation results in a smaller number of distributors to market our products and potentially leaves us subject to the potential of our products either being dropped by these distributors or being marketed less aggressively by these distributors. As a result, we have initiated our own direct distribution to mainstream supermarkets and natural and gourmet foods stores in Southern California and to large national retailers. Consolidation among natural foods industry distributors has not had an adverse affect on our sales.

Consumer Demanding More Natural Foods - The rapid growth of the natural foods industry has been fueled by the growing consumer awareness of the potential health problems due to the consumption of chemicals in the diet. Consumers are reading ingredient labels and choosing products based on them. We design products with these consumer concerns in mind. We feel this trend toward more natural products is one of the main trends behind our growth. Recently, this trend in drinks has not only shifted to products using natural ingredients, but also to products with added ingredients possessing a perceived positive function like vitamins, herbs and other nutrients. Our ginger-based products are designed with this consumer demand in mind.

Supermarket and Natural Food Stores - More and more supermarkets, in order to compete with the growing natural food industry, have started including natural food sections. As a result of this trend, our products are now available in mainstream supermarkets throughout the United States in natural food sections. Supermarkets can require that we spend more advertising money and they sometimes require slotting fees. We continue to work to keep these fees reasonable. Slotting fees in the natural food section of the supermarket are generally not as expensive as in other areas of the store.

Beverage Packaging Changes - Beverage packaging has continued to innovate, particularly for premium products. There is an increase in the sophistication with respect to beverage packaging design. While we feel that our current core brands still compete on the level of packaging, we continue to experiment with new and novel packaging designs such as the 5-liter party keg and 750 ml champagne style bottles. We have further plans for other innovative packaging designs.

Packaging or Raw Material Price Increases - An increase in packaging and raw materials has caused our margins to suffer and has negatively impacted our cash flow and profitability. We continue to search for packaging and production alternatives to reduce our cost of goods.

Cash Flow Requirements - Our growth will depend on the availability of additional capital infusions. We have a financial history of losses and are dependent on non-banking sources of capital, which tend to be more expensive and charge higher interest rates. Any increase in costs of goods will further increase losses and will further tighten cash reserves. We intend to use the proceeds from our future stock offering to increase our liquidity to be able to make cash expenditures, as needed.

Interest Rates - We use lines of credit as a source of capital and are negatively impacted as interest rates rise. Management believes our future offering will provide capital sufficient for us to reduce our debt level and allow us to lower our incremental borrowing costs.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our financial statements including various allowances and reserves for accounts receivable and inventories, the estimated lives of long-lived assets and trademarks and trademark licenses, as well as claims and contingencies arising out of litigation or other transactions that occur in the normal course of business. The following summarize our most significant accounting and reporting policies and practices:

10

Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized on the sale of a product when the product is shipped, which is when the risk of loss transfers to our customers, and collection of the receivable is reasonably assured. A product is not shipped without an order from the customer and credit acceptance procedures performed. The allowance for returns is regularly reviewed and adjusted by management based on historical trends of returned items. Amounts paid by customers for shipping and handling costs are included in sales.

Trademark License and Trademarks. Trademark license and trademarks primarily represent the costs we pay for exclusive ownership of the Reed’s® trademark in connection with the manufacture, sale and distribution of beverages and non-beverage products. We also own the Virgil’s® trademark and the China Cola® trademark. In addition, we own a number of other trademarks in the United States as well as in a number of countries around the world. We account for these items in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, we do not amortize indefinite-lived trademark licenses and trademarks.

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, we evaluate our non-amortizing trademark license and trademarks quarterly for impairment. We measure impairment by the amount that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the trademark license and trademarks. The fair value is calculated by reviewing net sales of the various beverages and applying industry multiples. Based on our quarterly impairment analysis the estimated fair values of trademark license and trademarks exceeded the carrying value and no impairments were identified during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 or September 30, 2005.

Long-Lived Assets. Our management regularly reviews property, equipment and other long-lived assets, including identifiable amortizing intangibles, for possible impairment. This review occurs quarterly or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment of property and equipment or amortizable intangible assets, then management prepares an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. The fair value is estimated at the present value of the future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with management’s estimates of the business risks. Quarterly, or earlier, if there is indication of impairment of identified intangible assets not subject to amortization, management compares the estimated fair value with the carrying amount of the asset. An impairment loss is recognized to write down the intangible asset to its fair value if it is less than the carrying amount. Preparation of estimated expected future cash flows is inherently subjective and is based on management’s best estimate of assumptions concerning expected future conditions. No impairments were identified during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 or 2005.

Management believes that the accounting estimate related to impairment of our long lived assets, including our trademark license and trademarks, is a “critical accounting estimate” because: (1) it is highly susceptible to change from period to period because it requires management to estimate fair value, which is based on assumptions about cash flows and discount rates; and (2) the impact that recognizing an impairment would have on the assets reported on our balance sheet, as well as net income, could be material. Management’s assumptions about cash flows and discount rates require significant judgment because actual revenues and expenses have fluctuated in the past and we expect they will continue to do so.

In estimating future revenues, we use internal budgets. Internal budgets are developed based on recent revenue data for existing product lines and planned timing of future introductions of new products and their impact on our future cash flows.

Advertising. We account for advertising production costs by expensing such production costs the first time the related advertising is run.

Accounts Receivable. We evaluate the collectibility of our trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. In circumstances where we become aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount our management believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on our historical losses and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable outstanding.

11

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost to purchase and/or manufacture the inventory or the current estimated market value of the inventory. We regularly review our inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand and/or our ability to sell the product(s) concerned and production requirements. Demand for our products can fluctuate significantly. Factors that could affect demand for our products include unanticipated changes in consumer preferences, general market conditions or other factors, which may result in cancellations of advance orders or a reduction in the rate of reorders placed by customers. Additionally, our management’s estimates of future product demand may be inaccurate, which could result in an understated or overstated provision required for excess and obsolete inventory.

Income Taxes. Current income tax expense is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable for the current year. A deferred income tax asset or liability is established for the expected future consequences of temporary differences in the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. We consider future taxable income and ongoing, prudent, and feasible tax planning strategies, in assessing the value of our deferred tax assets. If our management determines that it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized, we will reduce the value of these assets to their expected realizable value, thereby decreasing net income. Evaluating the value of these assets is necessarily based on our management’s judgment. If our management subsequently determined that the deferred tax assets, which had been written down, would be realized in the future, the value of the deferred tax assets would be increased, thereby increasing net income in the period when that determination was made.

Results of Operations

Our efforts to increase our gross margins have been successful and are evidenced by the results of the three months ended September 30, 2006. Our gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased to 23% of net sales, an increase of approximately 35% over the comparative period in 2005. Sales did not increase as much year over year for the third quarter 2006 as they did in the second quarter of this year. A look back at 2005 brought to our awareness that in the second quarter of 2005 our main production facility had a strike that pushed some second quarter 2005 sales to the third quarter 2005. Overall sales growth for the nine months ended September 30,2006 have been at a 10% annual growth rate.
 
With the completion of our IPO and the approximately $6 million of additional capital, we anticipate to be able to accelerate our sales and marketing programs that are taking our products deeper into mainstream markets. In Southern California, we are testing a new sales paradigm that takes us out of our natural foods focused selling efforts and into much more mainstream selling. To test this paradigm, in Southern California, we hired two beverage sales people to sell in stores in a concentrated geographic area , irrespective of whether they were natural foods stores or not. The new sales paradigm test resulted in our determination of what we believe to be a considerable market for our products outside of natural foods. We expect this effort to grow from $1.2 million sales in 2006 to $2 million plus in 2007. We expect to use some of the proceeds to expand this new selling paradigm into a number of new markets. We expect to start up these new selling methods in 5-10 additional markets in 2007. In November 2006, we expanded this new selling paradigm to San Diego.
 
We have received three awards this year for our products. Progressive Grocers, a top trade publication in the Supermarket industry voted our new Black Cherry Cream soda launched this year in May as the best new beverage product of 2006 for the supermarket trade. Also, Grocery Headquarters, another top trade publication in the Supermarket industry voted this product as the best new product launch of the natural food industry for main stream grocery of 2006. In addition, Whole Foods magazine, a trade publication in the natural food industry, conducted their annual survey of all the natural food retailers, Reed’s Extra Ginger Brew was voted the winner of the ‘best beverage’ category for 2006.

We have applied for listing on the NASDAQ. We reserved the symbol ‘REED’ and hope to be listed soon. We have also applied to the OTC bulletin board so that the company’s stock will be able to be traded in the event we do not receive our listing approval for NASDAQ immediately.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2005

Net sales increased by $40,623, or 1.5% from $2,735,332 in the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $2,775,955 in the three months ended September 30, 2006. Sales of our core Reed’s Ginger Brew items increased from $1,350,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $1,608,700 in the three months ended September 30, 2006. Sales of our Virgil’s Root Beer line increased from $970,800 in the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $997,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2006. The Virgil’s Root Beer and Cream Soda 12 ounce bottles went from $656,000 and $131,000 respectively, in the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $643,000 and $131,000 respectively in the three months ended September 30, 2006. The new Virgil’s Black Cherry Cream Soda launched at the end of May 2006 had sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006 of $ 75,100. Grocery Headquarters, a top trade publication in the Supermarket industry voted this product as the best new product launch of the natural food industry for main stream grocery of 2006. We expect sales of this item to positively impact future sales. Sales of the Virgil’s 5 liter party kegs increased from $79,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $107,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2006. Candy sales decreased from $185,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $166,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2006. Ice cream sales increased from $42,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $45,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2006. China Cola sales increased from $60,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $66,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2006. Canadian sales decreased from $62,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $27,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2006.

Cost of sales decreased by $127,725, or 5.6%, from $2,266,327 in the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $2,138,602 in the three months ended September 30, 2006. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased from 82.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2005 to 77.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2006. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased by 5.8% primarily as a result of higher prices on products sold (5.1%) and lower freight cost due to negotiating better rates and transferring freight cost to customers (4.9%) offset by increased promotional discounting (-5.0%) and increased warehouse expenses due to holding more inventory (-0.6%).

12

 
Gross profit increased by $168,348, or 35.9%, from $469,005 in the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $637,353 in the three months ended September 30, 2006. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased from 17.1% in the three months ended September 30, 2005 to 23.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2006. Effective February 1, 2006 we approved a price increase in a number of our product lines at an average of approximately 7% in order to attempt to increase our gross profit. The full implementation of the price increase was completed by the middle of the third quarter of 2006. We expect margins to increase by the end of 2006 due to this price increase.

Operating expenses increased by $350,279 or approximately 60.8%, from $575,840 in the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $926,119 in the three months ended September 30, 2006 and increased as a percentage of net sales from 21% in the three months ended September 30, 2005 to 33.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2006. The primary increase in expenses was due to the costs associated with the rescission offer that the Company undertook to satisfy a possible securities law violation associated with its sales of common stock and the resumption of its sales of securities. The Company had no such expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and $287,331 of such expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006, which made up 83% of the increase in operating expenses. These expenses are expected to end after the Company completes its securities offering, which is expected to be completed during the final quarter of 2006. The remaining 17% of the operating expense increase came from the following: increased salaries due to a larger sales force (6.8%), increased sales expenses from increased fuel costs and increased telephone charges (8.3%), increased recycling fees expenses (2.7%) and increased legal and accounting costs due to the costs associated with being a public reporting company (3.6%). Also, increased insurance expenses (1.6%) and increased bank fees due to the larger loan balances (1.0%). These were offset by reduced payroll expenses (-3.2%), reduced office expenses (-2.4%) and reduced office facility expenses (-1.2%).

Interest expense increased by $38,689 or 52.6%, from $73,508 in the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $112,197 in the three months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in interest expense was due to increasing short term interest rates, increased borrowings on our available lines of credit and increasing our long term debt, which was used to purchase brewing equipment, vehicles and office equipment.

As a result of the foregoing, we experienced a net loss of $180,343 in the three months ended September 30, 2005 and $400,963 in the three months ended September 30, 2006. Our net loss was $0.04 per share in the three months ended September 30, 2005 and $0.08 per share in the three months ended September 30, 2006.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005

Net sales increased by $778,105, or 10.9%, from $7,134,940 in the first nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $7,913,045 in the first nine months ended September 30, 2006. Sales of our core Reed’s Ginger Brew items increased from $3,670,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $4,368,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Sales of our Virgil’s Root Beer line increased from $1,621,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $2,735,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The Virgil’s Root Beer and Cream Soda 12 ounce bottles increased from $766,000 and $148,000, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $1,756,000 and $422,000, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The new Virgil’s Black Cherry Cream Soda launched at the end of May 2006 had sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 of $183,000. Progressive Grocers, a top trade publication in the Supermarket industry voted product as the best new beverage product of 2006. Also, Grocery Headquarters, another top trade publication in the Supermarket industry voted this product as the best new product launch of the natural food industry for main stream grocery of 2006. We expect sales of this item to positively impact future sales. Sales of the Virgil’s 5 liter party kegs continued to decline from $354,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $208,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Candy sales decreased from $601,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $576,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Ice cream sales decreased from $127,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $112,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Canadian sales increased from $106,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $119,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. We have increased our focus on the Canadian market in 2006.

Cost of sales increased by $595,456 or 10.2%, from $5,821,887 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $6,417,343 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. As a percentage of the net sales, cost of sales decreased from 81.6% in the first nine months ended September 30, 2005 to 81.1% in the first nine months ended September 30, 2006. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased by 0.5% primarily as a result of higher prices on products sold (1.2%) and lower freight costs due to both better negotiated rates and transferring freight costs to customers (1.6%) offset by increased promotional discounting (-2.8%) and increased warehouse expenses due to more holding inventory (-0.5%).

Gross profit increased from $1,313,053 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $1,495,702 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased from 18.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to 18.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Effective February 1, 2006 we approved a price increase in a number of our product lines at an average of approximately 7% in order to attempt to increase our gross profit. The full implementation of the price increase was completed by the middle of the third quarter of 2006. We expect margins to increase by the end of 2006 due to this price increase.

Operating expenses increased by $989,391, or 63.7%, from $1,553,557 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $2,542,948 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and increased as a percentage of net sales from 21.8% in the first nine months ended September 30, 2005 to 32.1% in the first nine months ended September 30, 2006. The primary increase in expenses was due to the costs associated with the rescission offer that the Company undertook to satisfy a possible securities law violation associated with its sales of common stock and the resumption of its sales of securities. The Company had no such expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $639,089 of such expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, which made up 65% of the increase in operating expenses. These expenses are expected to end after the Company completes its securities offering, which is expected to be completed during the final quarter of 2006. The remaining 35% of the operating expense increase came from the following: increased salaries due to a larger sales force (8.6%), increases sales expenses from increased fuel costs and increased telephone charges (9.7%), increased recycling fees expenses (4.5%) and increased legal and accounting costs due to the costs associated with being a public reporting company (12.4%). Also, increased insurance expenses (1.9%) and increased bank fees due to larger loan balances (1.1%) and increased amortization (1.0%) offset by reduced office expenses (1.0%) and office facility expenses (-1.2%) and reduced promotional expenses (-2.6%).

Interest expense increased by $75,511, or 32.1%, from $235,042 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $310,551 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in interest expense was due to increasing short term interest rates, increased borrowing on our available lines of credit and increasing our long term debt, which was used to purchase brewing equipment, vehicles and office equipment.

As a result of the foregoing, we experienced a net loss of $475,546 in the first nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $1,357,797 in the first nine months ended September 30, 2006. Our net loss was $0.10 per share in the first nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $0.26 per share in the first nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through private sales of common stock, preferred stock, convertible debt, a line of credit from a financial institution, and cash generated from operations. As of  November 17, 2006, the results of the initial public offering of our securities are that we sold 1,763,881 shares of common stock and will receive $6,349,971 of net proceeds. Subsequent to November 17, 2006, the initial public offering will continue until the 2,000,000 shares of common stock are sold. The addition of cash from the public offering will provide us the ability to improve our liquidity position and provide capital to continue to expand the business.

As of September 30, 2006, we had a working capital deficit of $2,237,300 compared to a working capital deficit of $1,594,758 as of December 31, 2005.
 
As of September 30, 2006, we had outstanding borrowings of $2,017,838 under our lines of credit agreements and we continue to approach maximum borrowing capacity based on the terms of the lines of credit.
 
From August 3, 2005 through April 7, 2006, we issued 333,156 shares of our common stock in connection with our initial public offering pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form SB-2. Management has determined that the shares may have been issued in violation of securities laws. Management extended a rescission offer to purchase up to all of the shares sold to date in the offering. The rescission offer commenced in August 2006 and ceased in September 2006. The amount of shares submitted for rescission were 31,020, which resulted in total proceeds being paid of $129,444. In accordance with the terms of our rescission, the proceeds where paid by others and they retained the shares submitted for rescission.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company sold 278,550 of their common shares for proceeds of $1,002,779 net of commissions.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, previously deferred stock offering expenses of $356,238 and additional stock offering costs incurred during the period of $217,287 were charged to additional paid in capital.
 
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company had a net loss of $1,357,797 and utilized cash of $1,155,982 in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and had a working capital deficiency of $2,237,300 and stockholders’ deficiency of $779,548 at September 30, 2006. In addition, the Company may have committed a violation of securities law. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty. The Company is conducting an initial public offering of its stock. The maximum amount of common stock to be sold is 2,000,000 shares at $4.00, of which 333,156 has been sold as of September 30, 2006. Subsequent to September 30, 2006 and though the date of this report, the Company sold an additional 1,430,725 shares of common stock for proceeds of $5,150,610 net of commissions. Management believes the proceeds of the offering will allow it to continue operations beyond the next twelve months.
 
The pro forma effect on the Company’s Capital giving effect for the sale of the remaining 1,666,844 and the effect of $200,065 of debt and accured interest conversion to 98,170 shares of common stock occurring subsequent to September 30, 2006 is expected to be as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” a replacement of existing accounting pronouncements. SFAS 154 modifies accounting and reporting requirements when a company voluntarily chooses to change an accounting principle or correct an accounting error. SFAS 154 requires retroactive restatement of prior period financial statements unless it is impractical. Previous accounting guidelines allowed recognition by cumulative effect in the period of the accounting change. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
 
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155,“Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”, an amendment of SFAS 133 and 140. These SFAS’s deal with derivative and hedging activities, accounting for transfers and servicing of financial instruments and extinguishment of liabilities. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued in an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company does not engage in the activities described in these SFAS’s and does not have any intention of engaging in those activities when SFAS 155 becomes effective. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 155, and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of operations or financial position.
 
FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” establishes a formal framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. It defines and codifies the many definitions of fair value included among various other authoritative literature, clarifies and, in some instances, expands on the guidance for implementing fair value measurements, and increases the level of disclosure required for fair value measurements. Although SFAS no. 157 applies to and amends the provisions of existing FASB and AICPA pronouncements, it does not, of itself, require any new fair value measurements, nor does it establish valuation standards. SFAS No. 157 applies to all other accounting pronouncements requiring or permitting fair value measurements, except for; SFAS no. 123 (R), share-based payment and related pronouncements, the practicability exceptions to fair value determinations allowed by various other authoritative pronouncements, and AICPA Statements of Position 97-2 and 98-9 that deal with software revenue recognition. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

Item 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As of September 30, 2006, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded, as of the end of such period, that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective and designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) identified in connection with the evaluation of our internal control performed during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On January 20, 2006, Consac Industries, Inc. (dba Long Life Teas and Long Life Beverages) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against Reed’s Inc. and Christopher Reed, Case No. CV06-0376. The complaint asserts claims for negligence, breach of contract, breach of warranty, and breach of express indemnity relating to Reed’s, Inc.’s manufacture of approximately 13,000 cases of “Prism Green Tea Soda” for Consac. Consac contends that we negligently manufactured the soda resulting in at least one personal injury. Consac seeks $2.6 million in damages, plus interest and attorneys fees. We contend that Consac was responsible for the soda’s condition by providing a defective formula which had not been adequately tested. We believe that we will successfully defend Consac’s claims. While there is no assurance, we believe that the Consac litigation will have no material adverse effect upon our operations. In May 2006 both parties agreed to a mediation proceeding which was expected to commence in the third quarter of 2006. The parties have decided to move to a trial. The trial is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2007.

From August 3, 2005 through April 7, 2006, we issued 333,156 shares of our common stock in connection with our initial public offering pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form SB-2. Management has determined that the shares may have been issued in violation of securities laws.  Management extended a rescission offer to purchase up to all of the shares sold to date in the offering. The rescission offer commenced in August 2006 and ceased in September 2006. The amount of shares submitted for rescission were 31,020, which resulted in total proceeds being paid of $129,444. In accordance with the terms of our rescission, the proceeds where paid by others and they retained the shares submitted for rescission.
