NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1
Nature of Operations and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The Company is in the development stage and offered wine storage and cellaring services and also invested in wine for long term appreciation and resale. The Company had disposed of its wine collection during the year ended August 31, 2009; the Company intends to explore new investment opportunities. The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States of America on April 5, 2004 and its fiscal year end is August 31. Effective July 2, 2008, the Company is listed for trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board in the United States of America.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its obligations and commitments in the normal course of operations. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At May 31, 2012, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,156,019 (August 31, 2011: $20,932,632) and has a working capital deficit of $899,763 (August 31, 2011: $676,406) and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. Additionally, on April 1, 2012, convertible promissory notes with a face value of $535,594 became due. The Company is negotiating further terms with the lenders. These matters cast substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but is considering obtaining additional funds by debt financing to the extent there is a shortfall from operations. While the Company is broadening its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds for operations.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended August 31, 2011. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full fiscal year ending on August 31, 2012. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 4
Capital Stock (continued)
In December 2006, the Company received an order for production from the British Columbia Securities Commission to provide certain information and documents relating to, inter alia, the sale of the above noted 1,000,000 common shares at $0.20 per share to verify the availability of the registration and prospectus exemptions relied upon by the Company in offering such shares to residents of British Columbia. To resolve the matter, the Company issued a voluntary rescission offer to rescind any previous subscriptions of these shares and offered a full refund of the subscription monies. In lieu and in place of these shares, the Company offered an equivalent number of shares for sale pursuant to the updated private placement dated June 27, 2007. Of the nine original investors included in the 1,000,000 share private placement, three of these investors accepted the rescission offer at $0.20 per share and were refunded the total amount of their investment of $60,000 and 300,000 common shares were returned to treasury and cancelled. The remaining six investors rejected the rescission offer and three new investors completed and paid the remaining portion of the private placement by the payment of $60,000.
Note 5
Related Party Transactions
Pursuant to a resolution dated June 1, 2008, an officer of the Company who is majority shareholder of the Company is to be paid a monthly management fee of $2,600 per month.

Commitment
On March 1, 2008 the Company entered into a Management Agreement whereby the Company is obligated to pay $7,500 per month in return for various management services. The agreement has no fixed term; however, accrued fees incur interest at a rate of 15% per annum whereby interest is compounded quarterly. In connection with this agreement the Company has incurred $22,500 and $67,500 during the three and nine months ending May 31, 2012 (2011 - $22,500 and $67,500) in management fees and accrued interest of $15,961 and $43,764 for the three and nine months ending May 31, 2012 (2011 - $10,695 and $28,529).

On April 1, 2011, the Company agreed with certain of its creditors to settle $540,964 in amounts owed in respect of accrued management and administrative fees as well as loans and advances payable to those creditors in exchange for convertible promissory notes in the same amount. The Company accounted for the transaction as an extinguishment of debt and recorded a loss on extinguishment of $19,982,676 as a result of recording the new promissory notes at their fair value of $20,523,640. The fair value of the notes was determined with reference to the quoted market price of the Companys shares multiplied by the number of common shares of the Company that would be issued upon conversion of the notes. The premium of the fair value of the notes over the principal balances totalling $20,015,668 was recorded as additional paid-in capital.
These notes matured on April 1, 2012 and bore no terms of interest except for the note in the amount of $288,670 which bears interest at the rate of 15% per annum. The non-interest bearing convertible notes with an aggregate face value of $252,294 were discounted using an estimated market discount rate of 15% and their fair value was calculated to be $219,302. The difference of $32,992 was accreted over the life to maturity using the effective interest rate method. During the nine-month period ended May 31, 2012, the Company recorded accretion expense of $19,845 (2011: $5,117) on the non-interest bearing convertible note. During the nine months period ended May 31, 2012 the Company recorded accrued interest of $43,764 (2011: $7,224) on the interest bearing convertible note in accrued liabilities.

ITEM 2 | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section of this report includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.
Financial Condition
We are a development stage corporation and have realized limited operations and generated limited revenues from our business operations.
On July 2, 2008 the Company began trading on the over-the-counter-bulletin-board (OTCBB) under the symbol WSID. For the interim period ended May 31, 2012 we generated no revenues from operations and have experienced losses since inception.
As of the period ended May 31, 2012 the Company has cash on hand of $1,963 compared to $7,088 as at August 31, 2011. The Company has disposed of its wine collections during the year ended August 31, 2009 and the Company may need to consider an alternate business model if we are to become profitable. The Company is open to new opportunities and is seeking to broaden its horizons.
At May 31, 2012 the Company estimated that it would require $600,000 to meet its operating needs for the current fiscal year, the Company has not yet satisfied its need for cash. The Company will rely on its President to determine how to raise these funds, bearing in mind the best interests of the Company.
Results of Operations
There is limited historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are in development stage operations and have generated limited revenues. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns.
To date, the Company has not recognized significant revenue through its operations and had an accumulated deficit of $21,156,019 since inception. We have no assurance that, if needed, future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
On July 2, 2008 the Company began trading on the over-the-counter-bulletin-board (OTCBB) under the symbol WSID. We have no revenues from operations, have experienced losses since inception, have been issued a going concern opinion by our auditors and rely upon the sale of our securities to fund operations.
In the nine months period ended May 31, 2012 our net loss was $223,387 compared to $20,174,947 for the nine month period ended May 31, 2011. This difference was due to an increase in several areas.
15
Results of Operations - continued
Professional fees, which include accounting and audit fees and legal fees, increased for the nine month period ended May 31, 2012, at $42,094 up from $41,647 in 2011. Interest were higher at $43,764 for 2012; in 2011 interest was $28,529. This increase is a result of compounding interest charges incurred on the prior periods unpaid management fees settled through the issuance of convertible promissory note and additional unpaid management fees for the current period. Accretion of debt discount on the non-interest bearing convertible promissory notes, increased for the period ended May 31, 2012 to $19,845 from $5,117 in 2011. The increase related to April 1, 2011 issuance of the non-interest bearing convertible promissory notes with a face value of $252,294 and fair value of $219,302 at issuance. In nine month period ended May 31, 2011, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of $19,982,676 as a result of recording the new promissory notes at their fair value of $20,523,640. No such item has incurred in 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Requirements
As of May 31, 2012, the Company had total assets of $4,658, and total liabilities of $904,308 and a negative working capital of $899,763. As of August 31, 2011, the Company had total assets $7,231 and total liabilities of $683,494 and negative working capital of $676,406.
The Company has no other capital resources other than the ability to use its common stock to raise additional capital. The Companys current cash is not sufficient to sustain operations in the next 3 months. Estimated cash needed for next 12 months is $600,000. The cash will be mainly used for general administrative, corporate (legal, accounting and audit), financing and management and outstanding liabilities.
No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by management or other stockholders except as set forth above. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any additional funds will be available to the Company to allow it to cover operation expenses. There are no assurances that we will be able to secure further funds required for our continued operations. We will pursue various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.
ITEM 3 | DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign Currency
In addition to the U.S. Dollar, we conduct business in Canadian Dollars and, therefore, are subject to foreign currency exchange risk on cash flows primarily related to expenses. Accounting and management fees which make up approximately three quarters of our expenses are paid in US funds. Since we primarily operate in US dollars our exposure to foreign currency risk should the Canadian dollar appreciate is limited. To date we have not engaged in hedging activities to hedge our foreign currency exposure. In the future, we may enter into hedging instruments to manage our foreign currency exchange risk or continue to be subject to exchange rate risk.
16
Inflation
Although inflation has not materially impacted our operations in the recent past, increased inflation could have a negative impact on our operating and general and administrative expenses, as these costs could increase.
ITEM 4 | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president and our secretary and treasurer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of May 31, 2012, the end of the nine month period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our president and our secretary and treasurer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our president and our secretary and treasurer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended May 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
