5 You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. We have not, and the selling security holders have not, authorized anyone to provide you with additional or different information. If anyone provides you with different information, you should not rely on it. We are not, and the selling security holders are not, making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. The information contained in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date on the front cover of this prospectus. PROSPECTUS SUMMARY The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information and financial statements including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all of the information you should consider before making an investment decision. Unless otherwise stated, all share amounts in this prospectus give effect to a 1 for 44 reverse split of the common stock on November 22, 2004. Alliance Distributors Holding Inc. ("Company" or "Alliance"), is a distributor of video game consoles and video game peripherals, accessories and software. Our offices are located at 15-15 132nd Street, College Point, New York 11356. Our telephone number is (718) 747-1500. In June 2004, a predecessor of the Company acquired AllianceCorner Distributors Inc. ("AllianceCorner"), a videogame distributorship, for securities that in November 2004 were converted into 24,679,997 shares of common stock. The business of AllianceCorner became our only business. Since the former stockholders of AllianceCorner acquired a majority of our voting interests, the transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition of a public shell, with AllianceCorner treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the pre-acquisition financial statements of AllianceCorner are our historical financial statements. At the time of the acquisition, the Company had no continuing operations and its historical results would not be meaningful if combined with the historical results of AllianceCorner. In June 2004, the Company in a private placement also issued securities that after conversions in November 2004 now consist of 21,237,114 shares of common stock, 403,344 shares of Series A Convertible Non Redeemable Preferred Shares ("Series A Preferred Shares") and warrants to purchase 1,564,096 shares of common stock. In November 2004 the Company, in connection with a financing agreement, issued a warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock. As of December 22, 2004, the Company's outstanding capital stock consists of 46,417,111 shares of common stock, 403,334 shares of Series A Convertible Non Redeemable Preferred Stock convertible into a total of 6,416,677 shares of common stock, and warrants to buy 2,071,623 shares of common stock. The 46,417,111 shares of outstanding common stock consist of 24,679,997 shares of common stock issued to the former shareholders of AllianceCorner, 21,237,114 shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares and 500,000 shares of common stock outstanding prior to June 2004. The Company is authorized to issue a total of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 1,685,115 has been designated as the Series A Convertible Non Redeemable Preferred Stock. SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Form SB-2 contains forward-looking statements. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form SB-2 that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by those that are not historical in nature, particularly those that use terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "anticipates," "contemplates," "estimates," "believes," "plans," "projected," "predicts," "potential," or "continue" or the negative of these similar terms. In evaluating these forward-looking statements, you should consider various factors, including those listed below under the heading "Risk Factors". The Company's actual results may differ significantly from the results projected in the forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements. 6 RISK FACTORS An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this prospectus in evaluating our company and its business before purchasing shares of our company's common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. The risks described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us may also impair our business operations. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks. We discontinued our prior business and have engaged in our current business only since August 2003. In November 2003, under prior management of Essential, we discontinued our business of manufacturing and selling a video controller. Our current videogame distribution business commenced operations in August 11, 2003 and was acquired by us in June 2004. We have not yet demonstrated our ability to operate during the periodic downturns that we expect in our industry. Our prior shareholders have suffered significant dilution. In connection with our acquisition of our current videogame distribution business in June 2004 and a related financing at the equivalent of $0.22 per share, the ownership of our prior shareholders was diluted to approximately 1% of the total outstanding shares. We depend on a limited number of suppliers and have no long-term agreement with any supplier. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2004 two of our suppliers each accounted for more than 10% of our purchases, and our 80 largest suppliers in the aggregate accounted for 75% of our purchases. We have no long-term agreements with any suppliers. Our results will be materially and adversely affected if a significant supplier terminates or modifies its relationship with us. We have not entered into any distribution arrangement with Microsoft for distribution of its Xbox(R) product. To date we have no direct business relationship with Microsoft Corporation ("Microsoft") for the distribution of its Xbox(R) product. This is an essential product in our industry, and we will be adversely affected if we cannot within a reasonable time achieve direct distribution for Microsoft. Pending a direct relationship with Microsoft, we acquire Xbox(R) products from a distributor, thereby reducing our margins on this product. We have no long term agreements with any customer. We deal with our customers on a purchase order by purchase order basis. We have no assured stability in our customer base. We depend on Jay Gelman and Andre Muller as our senior management. The loss of the services of Mr. Gelman or Mr. Muller would have a material adverse effect on our business. We have entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Gelman but not with Mr. Muller. We have obtained only $1,000,000 in key man insurance on the life of Mr. Gelman. We operate in a highly competitive industry and our failure to compete effectively may adversely affect our ability to generate revenue. There are at least seven distributors in the United States that have revenues and financial resources and company history substantially greater than our company. We are at a disadvantage to these companies and need to compete on the basis of the services we provide to our customers. We may not be able to compete successfully. We hold no patents or proprietary technology. We have no intellectual property other than a provisional trademark application for "Video Game Alliance." Unanticipated warranty costs could affect the ongoing demand for our products and our ability to operate profitably. We do not have any facilities for the repair or service of any products, and generally reimburse our customers in full for returns. Although the majority of our suppliers accept these returns from us, certain suppliers credit us with a fixed allowance for returns and require that we assume the risk of excess returns. We will be adversely affected if our returns for these suppliers exceed their return allowances. 7 Our business is subject to sudden changes in the popularity of the products we distribute and to technological changes. We will be adversely affected by any material decrease in the attractiveness of video games, or by the availability of equivalent entertainment through the Internet or other channels. The sudden decline in popularity of even one particular video console or game can force us to make a substantial write-down of our inventory of these products. Our Authorized Preferred Stock Exposes Holders of our Common Stock to Certain Risks. Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share. The authorized but unissued preferred stock constitutes what is commonly referred to as "blank check" preferred stock. This type of preferred stock may be issued by the Board of Directors from time to time on any number of occasions, without stockholder approval, as one or more separate series of shares comprised of any number of the authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, designated by resolution of the Board of Directors, stating the name and number of shares of each series and setting forth separately for such series the relative rights, privileges and preferences thereof, including, if any, the: (i) rate of dividends payable thereon; (ii) price, terms and conditions of redemption; (iii) voluntary and involuntary liquidation preferences; (iv) provisions of a sinking fund for redemption or repurchase; (v) terms of conversion to common stock, including conversion price, and (vi) voting rights. This preferred stock gives our Board of Directors the ability to hinder or discourage any attempt to gain control of us by a merger, tender offer at a control premium price, proxy contest or otherwise. To date there has been only sporadic trading of our shares of Common Stock on the Pink Sheets. Since November 22, 2204 through December 17, 2004 only 1,996 shares of common stock have traded on the Pink Sheets. Our shares of common stock essentially have had no liquidity. The liquidity of our shares is further reduced because we trade on the Pink Sheets rather than on more recognized markets. We are registering for sale substantially all shares of common stock that were not previously registered. Prior to the effectiveness of our registration statement for the 53,511,859 shares covered by this prospectus, our publicly tradable float consisted of only approximately 853,062 shares of common stock. Although Jay Gelman, Andre Muller and Francis Vegliante have agreed not to resell an aggregate of 24,679,997 shares of Common Stock until June 29, 2005, the availability of large numbers of shares for immediate sale into the public markets will likely depress the price for our shares. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock. USE OF PROCEEDS 8 We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock being offered for sale by the selling stockholders. We will, however, receive proceeds upon exercise of the warrants and these proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes. We will incur all costs associated with this registration statement and prospectus.

We may require the selling security holders to suspend the sales of the securities offered by this prospectus upon the occurrence of any event that makes any statement in this prospectus or the related registration statement untrue in any material respect or that requires the changing of statements in these documents in order to make statements in those documents not misleading.

The shares of common stock being offered for resale by this prospectus may be sold by the selling stockholders by one or more of the following methods, without limitation: (a) block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares of common stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; 14 (b) purchases by broker or dealer as principal and resale by the broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus; (c) an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; (d) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; (e) privately negotiated transactions; (f) market sales (both long and short to the extent permitted under the federal securities laws); (g) at the market to or through market makers or into an existing market for the shares; (h) through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange listed or otherwise); and (i) a combination of any of the aforementioned methods of sale. In the event of the transfer by any of the selling stockholders of its shares of common stock, Series A Convertible Non Redeemable Preferred Stock and Warrants to any pledgee, donee or other transferee, we will amend this prospectus and the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part by the filing of a post-effective amendment in order to have the pledgee, donee or other transferee in place of the selling stockholder who has transferred his, her or its shares. In effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from a selling stockholder or, if any of the broker-dealers act as an agent for the purchaser of such shares, from a purchaser in amounts to be negotiated which are not expected to exceed those customary in the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers may agree with a selling stockholder to sell a specified number of the shares of common stock at a stipulated price per share. Such an agreement may also require the broker-dealer to purchase as principal any unsold shares of common stock at the price required to fulfil the broker-dealer commitment to the selling stockholder if such broker-dealer is unable to sell the shares on behalf of the selling stockholder. Broker-dealers who acquire shares of common stock as principal may thereafter resell the shares of common stock from time to time in transactions which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above. Such sales by a broker-dealer could be at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. In connection with such resales, the broker-dealer may pay to or receive from the purchasers of the shares commissions as described above. The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the selling stockholders in the sale of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. In that event, any commissions received by the broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. From time to time, any of the selling stockholders may pledge shares of common stock pursuant to the margin provisions of customer agreements with brokers. Upon a default by a selling stockholder, their broker may offer and sell the pledged shares of common stock from time to time. Upon a sale of the shares of common stock, the selling stockholders intend to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act by delivering a prospectus to each purchaser in the transaction. We intend to file any amendments or other necessary documents in compliance with the Securities Act which may be required in the event any of the selling stockholders defaults under any customer agreement with brokers. 15 To the extent required under the Securities Act, a post effective amendment to this registration statement will be filed disclosing the name of any broker-dealers, the number of shares of common stock involved, the price at which the common stock is to be sold, the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealers, where applicable, that such broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and other facts material to the transaction. We and the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under it, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and, insofar as a selling stockholder is a distribution participant and we, under certain circumstances, may be a distribution participant, under Regulation M. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock. All expenses of the registration statement including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, printing and mailing fees are and will be borne by us. Any commissions, discounts or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares of common stock will be borne by the selling stockholders, the purchasers participating in such transaction, or both. Any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as amended, may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Other than as set forth below, we know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest. On August 19, 2004 a complaint was filed by Radio Wave LLC ("Plaintiff"), in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, against Essential Reality, LLC, Essential Reality, Inc. and David Devor, a former officer and a current employee of the Company, for rent, additional rent, cost and fees relating to premises formerly occupied by the Company. Plaintiff seeks to recover $150,416 for the period up to August 31, 2004, plus additional amounts to be determined by the Court for the period subsequent to August 31, 2004. Plaintiff also seeks to recover $50,000 in expenses and attorney fees plus additional amounts to be determined by the Court. We believe that the suit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend its position. 16 DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS Our directors and executive officers, their ages, positions held and duration each person has held that position, are as follows:

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT The following table sets forth the ownership of the common stock and Series A Preferred Shares as of December 22, 2004. Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of voting stock beneficially owned by them. A person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities that can be acquired by such person within 60 days from the date hereof upon the exercise of options, warrants or convertible securities. In calculating the percentage ownership by any holder of common stock, the table considers that the total number of outstanding shares includes shares issuable on exercise of securities within 60 days from the date hereof that are beneficially owned by that holder. Accordingly, for calculating the percentage ownership of shares of common stock outstanding, for Nathan A. Low there are deemed outstanding 48,860,111 shares of common stock (see footnote 4 to the beneficial ownership table directly below), for Sunrise Equity Partners, Level Counter LLC and Marilyn Adler there are deemed outstanding 47,636,010 shares of common stock (because of the deemed conversion of 76,617 shares of Series A Preferred Shares convertible into 1,218,899 shares of common stock held by Sunrise Equity Partners; see footnotes 10 and 14 below), for Amnon Mandelbaum there are deemed outstanding 47,893,333 shares of common stock (because of the deemed conversion of 257,323 warrants owned by Mr. Mandelbaum and 1,218,899 shares beneficially owned by Mr. Mandelbaum, see footnote 12 below), and for all other holders there are deemed outstanding 46,417,111 shares of common stock. For calculating the percentage ownership of the Series A Convertible Non Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Shares"), for Jay Gelman, Northumberland Holdings, Ltd., Smithfield Fiduciary LLC, Nathan A. Low Roth IRA, Nathan A. Low Family Trust, and Sunrise Foundation Trust there are deemed outstanding 403,334 shares of Series A Preferred Shares, and for Sunrise Equity Partners, Nathan A. Low, Level Counter LLC, Amnon Mandelbaum and Marilyn Adler there are deemed outstanding 326,717 shares of Series A Preferred Shares because of the deemed conversion of 76,617 shares of Series A Preferred Shares convertible into 1,218,899 shares of common stock held by Sunrise Equity Partners (see footnotes 8, 10, 12, and 14 below). Each Series A Preferred Share is convertible into 15.9090 shares of common stock except to the extent that as a result of conversion the holder would beneficially own in excess of 4.999% or 9.999% of the issued and outstanding shares ("4.999% Restriction"). 18

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, on such terms as the Board may determine. As of December 22, 2004 the Company's outstanding capital stock consists of 46,417,111 shares of common stock, 403,334 shares of Series A Convertible Non Redeemable Preferred Stock convertible into a total of 6,416,677 shares of common stock, and warrants to buy 2,071,623 shares of common stock. The Company is authorized to issue a total of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 1,685,115 has been designated as the Series A Convertible Non Redeemable Preferred Stock, so that 53,582,889 shares of common stock and 8,314,885 shares of preferred stock remain available for issuance. Common Stock Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all net assets available for distribution to stockholders after payment to creditors. The common stock is not convertible or redeemable and has no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. There are no cumulative voting rights. ---------- (14) Consists of shares owned by Level Counter LLC. Ms. Adler has shared voting and investment power in Level Counter LLC, which has sole investment and voting power in the shares owned by Sunrise Equity Partners. Ms. Adler disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares owned by Sunrise Equity Partners. (15) See Notes 10, 11 and 14. (16) Consists of 2,182 shares of common stock owned since June 19, 2002 and 2,318,650 shares issued upon conversion of 145,743 Series A Preferred Shares on November 22, 2004. (17) Balance amount remaining after conversion of 145,743 Series A Preferred Shares from a total 145,796 Series A Preferred Shares issued to Northumberland Holdings, Ltd. (18) Consists of common shares issued upon conversion of 137,816 Series A Preferred Shares on November 22, 2004. 21 The holders of outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available at such times and in such amounts as our Board of Directors may from time to time determine. Holders of common stock will share equally on a per share basis in any dividend declared by the Board of Directors. We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on such stock in the foreseeable future. In the event of a merger or consolidation, all holders of common stock will be entitled to receive the same per share consideration. Series A Preferred Shares Each share of Series A Preferred Shares is convertible into 15.9090 shares of common stock, votes with the common stock as one class on as converted basis, and otherwise ranks equally with the common stock on a pari passu as converted basis. Series A Preferred Shares owned by a holder will not be converted into common stock if and so long as a result of conversion the holder would beneficially own in excess of 4.999% or 9.999% of the issued and outstanding shares. Potential Issuance of Additional Series of Preferred Stock The Company's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company's $0.001 par value preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock"). As of the date of this prospectus, other than the Series A Preferred Shares, no shares of Preferred Stock were outstanding. The Preferred Stock constitutes what is commonly referred to as "blank check" preferred stock. "Blank check" preferred stock allows the Board of Directors, from time to time, to divide the Preferred Stock into series, to designate each series, to issue shares of any series, and to fix and determine separately for each series any one or more of the following relative rights and preferences: (i) the rate of dividends; (ii) the price at and the terms and conditions on which shares may be redeemed; (iii) the amount payable upon shares in the event of involuntary liquidation; (iv) the amount payable upon shares in the event of voluntary liquidation; (v) sinking fund provisions for the redemption or purchase of shares; (vi) the terms and conditions pursuant to which shares may be converted if the shares of any series are issued with the privilege of conversion; and (vii) voting rights. Dividends on shares of Preferred Stock, when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of any funds legally available therefore, may be cumulative and may have a preference over Common Stock as to the payment of such dividends. Depending upon the voting rights granted to any series of Preferred Stock, issuance thereof could result in a reduction in the power of the holders of Common Stock. In the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of each series of the then outstanding Preferred Stock may be entitled to receive, prior to the distribution of any assets or funds to the holders of the Common Stock, a liquidation preference established by the Board of Directors, together with all accumulated and unpaid dividends. Depending upon the consideration paid for Preferred Stock, the liquidation preference of Preferred Stock and other matters, the issuance of Preferred Stock could result in a reduction in the assets available for distribution to the holders of the Common Stock in the event of liquidation of the Company. Holders of Preferred Stock will not have preemptive rights to acquire any additional securities issued by the Company. Once a series has been designated and shares of the series are outstanding, the rights of holders of that series may not be modified adversely except by a vote of at least a majority of the outstanding shares constituting such series. The issuance by the board of directors of new series Preferred Stock could, in certain instances, render more difficult or discourage a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest and thus potentially have an "anti-takeover" effect, especially if preferred shares were issued in response to a potential takeover. In addition, issuances of authorized preferred shares can be implemented, and have been implemented by some companies in recent years, with voting or conversion privileges intended to make acquisition of the corporation more difficult or more costly. Such an issuance could deter the types of transactions which may be proposed or could discourage or limit the stockholders' participation in certain types of transactions that might be proposed (such as a tender offer), whether or not such transactions were favored by the majority of the stockholders, and could enhance the ability of officers and directors to retain their positions. 22 INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL No expert or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis or had, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, directly or indirectly, in the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES Our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws provide that directors and officers shall be indemnified by us to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act might be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our company under the provisions described above, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Alliance Distributors Holding Inc. ("Company" or "Alliance") is a distributor of video game consoles and video game peripherals, accessories and software. Our offices are located at 15-15 132nd Street, College Point, New York 11356. Our telephone number is (718) 747-1500. Business Background In June 2002, the Company, then named JPAL, Inc. ("JPAL"), a Nevada corporation which then had no ongoing business or significant assets, acquired Essential Reality, LLC ("ER, LLC") which had been formed in 1998 as Freedom Multimedia, LLC in Delaware to develop and market a virtual video game controller. Following this transaction, JPAL changed its name to Essential Reality, Inc. ("Essential"). On November 2003, we discontinued sales of our virtual video game controller because of our inability to raise necessary funds. On June 17, 2004, Essential entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with Jay Gelman, Andre Muller and Francis Vegliante, the sole shareholders (the "Shareholders") of AllianceCorner Distributors Inc., a New York corporation ("AllianceCorner") which had been engaged in the video game distribution business since August 2003. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company on June 29, 2004 acquired all the outstanding capital stock of AllianceCorner from the Shareholders and, in exchange for such capital stock, issued 517,105 Series B Convertible Non Redeemable Preferred Shares ("Series B Preferred Shares") to Jay Gelman, 517,105 Series B Preferred Shares to Andre Muller and 517,104 Series B Preferred Shares to Francis Vegliante. On November 22, 2004, the Series B Preferred Shares converted into 8,226,671 shares of common stock for each of Jay Gelman and Andre Muller and into 8,226,655 shares of common stock for Francis Vegliante. 23 In connection with this acquisition, the Company issued the share equivalent of 21,237,114 shares of common stock and 403,334 shares of Series A Convertible Non Redeemable Preferred Stock in private placements. Each share of Series A Convertible Non Redeemable Preferred Stock entitles the holder to 15.9090 votes, and votes as one class with the common stock on as converted basis. Certain holders granted to Jay Gelman an irrevocable voting proxy to vote 5,805,295 shares of common stock, as well as 168,427 shares of Series A Convertible Non Redeemable Preferred Stock that have 2,679,520 votes, so that Mr. Gelman's proxy covers a total of 8,484,815 votes. These transactions diluted the ownership of our shareholders prior to June 2004 to 1.077% of the 46,417,111 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 22, 2004. We accounted for our acquisition of AllianceCorner as a reverse acquisition as of June 30, 2004. The pre-acquisition financial statements of AllianceCorner are treated as historical financial statements of the combined companies. AllianceCorner was formed in May 2003 under the name Alliance Partners, Inc. The name of Alliance Partners, Inc. was changed to AllianceCorner Distributors Inc. in September 2003 and was further changed to Alliance Distributors Holding, Inc. ("Alliance New York") in July 2004. Effective November 17, 2004, Alliance New York was merged into Alliance Distributors Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation that was wholly owned by Essential. Effective November 22, 2004, Essential reincorporated in Delaware and changed its name to Alliance Distributors Holding Inc. ("Alliance" or the "Company"), by way of a merger of Essential into Alliance, which was then a wholly owned Delaware subsidiary of Essential. Our Business What we Sell We distribute to retail stores video game consoles that are manufactured by Sony Corporation (the "PlayStation(R)2 Computer Entertainment System"), Nintendo ("GameCubeTM and Game Boy(R) Advance") and Microsoft ("Xbox(R)"). We sell these consoles at prices ranging from $49.99 to $149. We also distribute accessories and game software that are made for these consoles by the console manufacturers and third parties.

We sell our accessories and software at prices ranging from $9.99 to $149.99. The Market According to The NPD Group, Inc. a leading market information provider, the video game market in the US had sales of $10 billion in 2003. Suppliers We are direct distributors for Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. ("Sony") and Nintendo of America Inc. ("Nintendo") and purchase product from them directly. We are also direct distributors for approximately 75 third-party vendors (including Electronic Arts Inc., Take Two Interactive Software, Inc. and THQ Inc.) of accessories and software for video games. We have no relationship with Microsoft for distribution of the Microsoft Xbox(R), and purchase our Xbox(R) supplies from another distributor. From January 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004, we purchased approximately 30% of our products for cash in advance, and the balance on 30 day to 45 day terms. In addition to manufacturer credit and internally generated funds, we rely for funds on a financing agreement under which the lender may in its discretion lend us up to $5,000,000 based on eligible receivables and inventory. We have pledged substantially all of our assets as security for this financing. 24 During the nine-months ended September 30, 2004 two of our suppliers each accounted for more than 10% of our purchases, and our 80 largest suppliers in the aggregate accounted for 75% of our purchases. We have no long term agreement with any of our suppliers, and conduct business with them on an individual purchase order basis. Our business would be materially and adversely affected should any material supplier terminate its relationship with us or modify its relationship with us to our detriment. Warehouse and Showroom We store our inventory in our 11,500 square foot warehouse in College Point, New York. We display our products to customers in a 3,000 square foot showroom that adjoins our executive offices. Products are either picked up directly by the customer from our warehouse or delivered through a third party courier. We deliver products at no additional charge to customers purchasing at least $500 worth of products in the New York metropolitan area and the surrounding tri-state region. Our Customers; Sales and Marketing Our customers consist primarily of approximately 2,500 to 3,000 retail stores located throughout the United States and Canada. A majority of these stores are located in the New York metropolitan area and the surrounding tri-state region. We estimate that these stores are owned by approximately 350 to 500 different entities. Approximately 50% of our sales are on a cash on delivery basis, and the balance is invoiced primarily on 7 through 30 day terms. To our knowledge, no group of stores under common ownership accounted for 10% or more of our sales during either 2003 or for the nine month period ending 2004. We sell to our customers on a purchase order basis through our sales employees who are paid on a salary plus commission basis. We have no long-term sales agreements. We market ourselves in part as being engaged in a "Video Game Alliance" with our customers. In this context we advise our customers on how best to sell the product they buy from us, and we offer them banners, and point of sale and similar material. We also publish newspaper dealer-listing advertisements that are paid for cooperatively by various manufacturers. In these advertisements we list our customers and indicate that the advertisement is "brought to you by Alliance Distributors." We have not to date advertised in the trade press. We attend and exhibit at two trade shows annually. We are developing a business-to-business website that will offer customers many of the conveniences of our retail showroom and the ability to order products directly on line. We believe that the website may allow us to expand our marketing area. We have incurred approximately $40,000 in developmental expenses for this website to date. Warranties and Returns We offer no warranties to our customers and do not have any facilities for the repair or service of any products. We nevertheless accept returns of product claimed to be defective and reimburse our customers for the full purchase price of these products. Although the majority of our suppliers in turn accept these returns from us, certain suppliers credit us with a fixed allowance for returns and require that we assume the risk of excess returns. Competition Mecca Electronics Industries, Inc., Jack of all Games (a subsidiary of Take Two Interactive Software, Inc.), About Time Inc, Pioneer Distributors Inc d/b/a JB Marketing, Florida State Games, SVG Distribution, Inc. and D&H Distributing Co., Inc. are the dominant distributors in our industry. These companies have significantly greater financial resources than our company. We compete with these companies on the basis of personalized service, advice and marketing support that we seek to offer to our customers. Government Regulation 25 The manufacturers of our products must test them for compliance with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) standards to avoid radio frequency emissions that could interfere with other radio frequency transmissions or similar regulatory standards in other countries. We are not required to test our products for compliance. Employees We currently employ 28 employees, all of whom are employed on a full time basis.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this registration statement. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this registration statement, particularly in the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 7 of this prospectus. OVERVIEW See "Business-Background," for description of a transaction whereby AllianceCorner Distributors Inc. ("AllianceCorner") became a New York wholly-owned subsidiary of Essential. The name of AllianceCorner was changed to Alliance Distributors Holding, Inc. ("New York Alliance") in July 2004. Effective November 17, 2004, New York Alliance was merged into Alliance Distributors Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation that was wholly owned by Essential. Effective November 22, 2004, Essential reincorporated in Delaware and changed its name to Alliance Distributors Holding Inc. ("Alliance" or the "Company"), by way of a merger of Essential into Alliance, which was then a wholly owned Delaware subsidiary of Essential. The business of AllianceCorner became our only business. Since the former stockholders of AllianceCorner acquired a majority of our voting interests, the transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition of a public shell, with AllianceCorner treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the pre-acquisition financial statements of AllianceCorner are our historical financial statements. At the time of the acquisition, the Company had no continuing operations and its historical results would not be meaningful if combined with the historical results of AllianceCorner. 26 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview of Third Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 Compared to the Period from August 11, 2003, the date of Commencement of Operations, to September 30, 2003. Sales. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 the Company recognized product-related revenues in the amount of $6,924,181 and $20,200,199, respectively as compared to $352,710 for the period from August 11, 2003, the date of commencement of operations, to September 30, 2003. Cost of Sales. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, cost of sales totaled $5,966,406 and $17,363,624, respectively, as compared to $334,184 for the period from August 11, 2003, the date of commencement of operations, to September 30, 2003. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, gross profit was 13.8% and 14.0% of net sales, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $980,454 and $2,704,112, respectively, compared to $74,977 for the period from August 11, 2003, the date of commencement of operations, to September 30, 2003. The Company's major components for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, are as follows: selling, consisting primarily of salaries and commissions, of $75,771 and $293,349, respectively; shipping and warehouse, consisting primarily of salaries and freight-out, of $180,350 and $599,846, respectively; and general and administrative, consisting primarily of salaries , insurance, consulting fees, professional fees and rent, of $516,698 and $1,204,871, respectively. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 totaled $20,444 and $81,052, respectively, compared to $64 for the period from August 11, 2003, the date of commencement of operations, to September 30, 2003. Interest expense relates to the factor arrangement described below under Liquidity and Capital Resources. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES On June 29, 2004 the Company received $2,884,171 in net proceeds from the sale of 1,124,767 shares of Series A 6% Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Shares of Essential ("Series A 6% Preferred Shares) in a private placement (the "Offering"). At the same time, substantially all outstanding debt of the Company was extinguished through either conversion into an aggregate of 452,202 shares of Series A 6% Preferred Shares or through cash payments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004 net cash used in operating activities was $2,297,858. Net cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 consisted of net income of $40,244 and included the following changes in operating assets and liabilities: an increase in accounts receivable of $808,020, a decrease in accounts payable of $2,360,738 and an increase in amount due to factor of $1,435,304, due to advances taken during the period. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $984,186, of which $65,635 was used for the purchase of equipment and $915,329 was used for the payment of Essential's pre-acquisition liabilities. Net cash for financing activities, raised by the Offering, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $3,591,683 which consisted primarily of gross proceeds of $4,000,000 from the Offering, less payments of issuance costs of $200,500, as well as $171,829 of repayment of long term obligations. In December 2003, AllianceCorner entered into a factoring arrangement with a commercial factor. As set forth in the next paragraph, this factoring arrangement was replaced with a Financing Agreement on November 11, 2004. Under the factoring arrangement as in effect through November 11, 2004, the Company sold a substantial portion of its trade receivables up to maximum credit limits established by the factor for each individual account. Receivables sold in excess of these limitations were subject to recourse in the event of non-payment by the customer. The Company paid interest at the prime lending rate plus 1.5% (6.25% as of September 30, 2004) for advances made prior to the collection of the factored accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2004, factor advances of approximately $1,004,000 were offset against amounts due to the factor. Substantially all of the Company's assets were pledged as collateral under the factoring agreement. The Company was required to maintain a specified level of net worth, as defined. As of September 30, 2004, the Company was in compliance with this covenant. 27 On November 11, 2004, Alliance Distributors Holding, Inc., Essential's New York subsidiary, entered into a Financing Agreement which replaced the factoring agreement with the Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. ("Rosenthal"). Under the Agreement, Rosenthal may in its discretion lend up to $5 million to the Company based on eligible inventory and receivables. All borrowings are due on demand, are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and are subject to the Company's compliance with certain financial covenants. The Agreement terminates November 30, 2007 unless terminated sooner by Rosenthal on 30 days' notice. Interest on outstanding borrowings is payable at a variable rate per annum, equal to the prime rate (but not less than 4.75 percent) plus 2.00 percent (7.25 percent as of December 22, 2004). The Company's CEO and the Company's President signed limited guaranties in respect of borrowings under the Agreement. On November 11, 2004 the Company issued to Rosenthal a warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share and expires on November 30, 2010. On notice by the Company the Warrants will expire earlier if the closing price of the common stock during a period designated in the Warrants is not less than $0.40 per share. The Company expects to record deferred financing costs of approximately $110,000 in the fourth quarter, representing the fair value of the warrants, which will be amortized over the life of the financing agreement. The Company owes a note payable in the amount of $93,789 to Corner Distributors, Inc. ("Corner"), which is due and payable on June 30, 2005, in connection with the purchase of inventory by and between the Company and Corner, dated as of March 4, 2004. The Company believes that it has sufficient liquidity for the next twelve months based upon its existing cash and availability under the financing agreement. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Certain of the Company's accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on historical experience, observation of trends in the industry, information provided by customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Critical accounting policies include: Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes sales upon shipment of products to customers as title and risk of loss pass upon shipment and collectibility is reasonably assured. Provisions for estimated uncollectible discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. While such amounts have been within expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same rates as in the past. Accounts Receivable and Due to Factor - Accounts Receivable and due to factor as shown on the Balance Sheet are net of allowances and anticipated discounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined through analysis of the aging of accounts receivable at the date of the financial statements, assessments of collectibility based on historic trends and an evaluation of the impact of economic conditions. The allowance for doubtful accounts is not significant since the Company sells a substantial portion of its trade receivables to a commercial factor, without recourse, up to maximum credit limits established by the factor for each individual account. Receivables sold in excess of these limitations are subject to recourse in the event of non-payment by the customer. Principally, the Company's historical estimates of these costs have not differed materially from actual results. 28 Inventories - Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined on the average cost basis. Writedowns for slow moving and aged merchandise are provided based on historical experience and current product demand. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the writedowns quarterly. While writedowns have been within expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same level of writedowns as in the past. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY Our executive offices and an adjoining showroom are located in about 11,000 square feet of space at 15-15 132nd Street, College Point, NY 11356. This space is leased through KIM Management at a monthly rent of approximately $5,150 excluding property taxes, maintenance and utilities. The lease will terminate on February 28, 2013.

The lease will terminate on June 30, 2008. Rents due under our leases are subject to an approximate 3% annual increase. Our current premises are adequate for our current operations and we do not anticipate that we will require any additional premises in the foreseeable future. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS Other than as disclosed below, there have been no transactions, or proposed transactions, which have materially affected or will materially affect us in which any director, executive officer or beneficial holder of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock, or any of their respective relatives, spouses, associates or affiliates, has had or will have any direct or material indirect interest.

The Employment Agreement also contains customary confidentiality provisions.

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

F-6 ALLIANCE DISTRIBUTORS HOLDING INC. (FORMERLY ALLIANCECORNER DISTRIBUTORS INC.) Notes to Financial Statements Note 1 - The Company AllianceCorner Distributors Inc. ("Alliance" or the "Company") is a wholesale distributor of video games and accessories, whose operations commenced in August 2003, with a customer base substantially throughout the United States. The Company was incorporated as Alliance Partners, Inc. in May 2003 under the laws of the State of New York and financed with $200,000 of equity. In September 2003, the Company admitted a new stockholder, changed its name to AllianceCorner Distributors Inc. and purchased substantially all of the inventory of Corner Distributors, Inc. ("Corner"), a company previously managed by the new stockholder and owned by a relative of the stockholder, for $3,099,626. The acquisition of inventory was financed in accordance with the terms of the agreement. In December 2003, the Company and Corner agreed to extend the maturity of $243,750 of the purchase price. At December 31, 2003, approximately $1,303,000 is due to Corner, of which approximately $1,059,000 is included in accounts payable and $243,750 is long-term debt which is due and payable on June 30, 2005. In addition, the following net assets, previously owned by Corner, were contributed to the Company and recorded at their fair market value agreed to by the stockholders: Fair market value of property and equipment contributed $ 276,138 Capital lease obligations assumed (27,227) Notes payable assumed (12,896) --------- Net capital contributed $ 236,015 ========= In November 2004, the Company changed its name (see Note 9). The Company operates as a single segment. Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. Significant estimates reflected in these financial statements relate primarily to bad debt reserves on accounts receivable. F-7 ALLIANCE DISTRIBUTORS HOLDING INC. (FORMERLY ALLIANCECORNER DISTRIBUTORS INC.) Notes to Financial Statements Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Inventory Inventory consists entirely of finished goods held for sale and is reported at the lower of cost or market, on the average cost basis. At times, the Company makes advance payments to vendors to procure and ensure delivery of certain high demand products. Such deposits are reflected as due from vendors in the balance sheet. Property and Equipment Contributed property and equipment is recorded at fair market value. Purchased property and equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Assets held under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased assets at the inception of the lease. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease terms or the assets' useful lives. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated lives of the related assets using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives for significant property and equipment categories are as follows: Vehicles 4 years Warehouse equipment 3 to 7 years Office furniture and equipment 3 to 7 years Leasehold improvements 5 to 10 years F-8 ALLIANCE DISTRIBUTORS HOLDING INC. (FORMERLY ALLIANCECORNER DISTRIBUTORS INC.) Notes to Financial Statements Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets, including property and equipment, be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company assesses its assets for impairment based on the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and records impairment losses when this amount is less than the carrying amount. Impairment losses are recorded for the excess of the assets' carrying amount over their fair value, which is generally determined based on the estimated future discounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the asset using a discount rate determined by management at the date of the impairment review. Management believes at this time that the carrying value and useful life of long-lived assets continue to be appropriate. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes sales upon shipment of products to customers as title and risk of loss pass upon shipment and collectibility is reasonably assured. Provisions for estimated discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. Income Taxes The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, elected to have its income taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and the corresponding provisions of New York State Tax laws. Under the aforementioned provisions, corporate income or loss and any tax credits earned are included in the stockholders' individual federal and state income tax returns. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes for the period from May 9, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003. The Company is subject to New York State S corporation taxes and New York City corporate income taxes. The provision for income taxes comprises state and local taxes. The pro forma adjustment included in the statement of income gives effect to a charge in lieu of income taxes that would have been included in the provision for income taxes had the Company, which elected S corporation status, been taxed as a C corporation. F-9 ALLIANCE DISTRIBUTORS HOLDING INC. (FORMERLY ALLIANCECORNER DISTRIBUTORS INC.) Notes to Financial Statements Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Shipping and Handling Costs The Company includes shipping and handling costs in selling, general and administrative expense. For the period from May 9, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, the Company incurred approximately $144,000 of such costs. Advertising Expenses Advertising expenses are charged to operations in the period in which they are incurred. Advertising expenses for the period from May 9, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003 were approximately $5,000. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of significant financial instruments, which includes accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximated fair value as of December 31, 2003 due to their short-term maturities. Advances from the factor and long-term debt approximate fair value due to their variable interest rate. Comprehensive Income SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. As of December 31, 2003, the Company has no items that represent other comprehensive income. Net Income Per Share Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding only reflects the exchange of common stock for Preferred Stock (see Note 9) and the 1 for 44 stock split, which occurred in November 2004, as no stock options or warrants have been issued. F-10 ALLIANCE DISTRIBUTORS HOLDING INC. (FORMERLY ALLIANCECORNER DISTRIBUTORS INC.) Notes to Financial Statements Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Recent Accounting Pronouncements In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46"). FIN 46 requires that a variable interest entity be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements apply to the first fiscal year or interim period ending after March 31, 2004. The Company believes the adoption of FIN 46 will not affect its financial position or results of operations. In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement No.133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 149 to have an impact on the financial statements as the Company does not engage in derivative or hedging activity. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity," effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a freestanding financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). The adoption of SFAS No. 150 will not have an impact on the Company's reported financial position or results of operations. Note 3 - Concentrations of Credit Risk and Major Suppliers Cash The Company maintains cash balances at two banks. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. F-11 ALLIANCE DISTRIBUTORS HOLDING INC. (FORMERLY ALLIANCECORNER DISTRIBUTORS INC.) Notes to Financial Statements Note 3 - Concentrations of Credit Risk and Major Suppliers (Continued) Accounts Receivable Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers make up the Company's customer base, thus spreading the trade credit risk. The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers but generally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable. Credit losses have been within management's expectations. Major Suppliers Other than the purchase of inventory acquired from Corner (see Note 1), for the period from May 9, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, two suppliers accounted for approximately 22% of purchases. The Company believes that it does not have an economic dependence upon these vendors as alternative means of sourcing are available. At December 31, 2003, the amount due to these suppliers was approximately $856,000 and is included in accounts payable on the accompanying balance sheet. Note 4 - Due from Factor In December 2003, the Company entered into a factoring arrangement with a commercial factor. The Company sells a substantial portion of its trade receivables up to maximum credit limits established by the factor for each individual account. Receivables sold in excess of these limitations are subject to recourse in the event of non-payment by the customer. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company pays interest at the prime lending rate plus 1.5% (5.5% at December 31, 2003) for advances made prior to the collection of the factored accounts receivable. At December 31, 2003, factor advances of approximately $1,100,000 were offset against amounts due from the factor. Substantially all of the Company's assets have been pledged as collateral under the factoring agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to maintain a specified level of net worth, as defined. At December 31, 2003, the Company is in compliance with this covenant.

(FORMERLY ALLIANCECORNER DISTRIBUTORS INC.) Notes to Financial Statements Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies Leases The Company leases showroom, office and warehouse space and various equipment under operating leases expiring from 2005 through 2013. The future minimum lease payments, excluding escalation charges, are as follows: Year Ending December 31, ------------ 2004 $ 179,000 2005 185,000 2006 186,000 2007 188,000 2008 131,000 Thereafter 311,000 ---------- $1,180,000 ========== In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, "Accounting for Leases," non-cancellable operating leases with scheduled rent increases require that rent expense be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Rent expense for the period from May 9, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003 includes approximately $4,000 which relates to the amortized portion of the scheduled rent increases. At December 31, 2003, an obligation of approximately $4,000 representing future deferred rent payments is reflected in the accompanying balance sheet. Total rent expense charged to operations for the period from May 9, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003 was approximately $46,000. Contingent Bonus Pursuant to an agreement among the stockholders, one of the stockholders is entitled to a bonus contingent upon the Company's earnings. In any calendar year through December 31, 2008, if the Company achieves a certain level of earnings, the stockholder will receive a bonus as defined in the agreement. For the period from May 9, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, no bonus has been earned. F-15 ALLIANCE DISTRIBUTORS HOLDING INC. (FORMERLY ALLIANCECORNER DISTRIBUTORS INC.) Notes to Financial Statements Note 9 - Subsequent Event On June 29, 2004, Alliance and Essential Reality, Inc. ("Essential"), an SEC registrant, completed a reverse acquisition pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") whereby the stockholders of Alliance exchanged 300 shares of common stock for 1,551,314 shares of Essential's Series B Convertible, Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition as of June 30, 2004 and the pre-acquisition financial statements of Alliance are treated as historical financial statements of the combined companies. As the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition into a public shell, no goodwill will be recorded and the costs incurred will be accounted for as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. The net monetary liabilities of Essential assumed in the transaction were approximately $153,000. As part of the Exchange Agreement, Essential was required to raise funds to complete the transaction. Essential offered 1,124,767 shares of Series A 6% Convertible Non Redeemable Preferred Shares (the "Series A Preferred Shares"), through a private placement offering ("PPO"). The PPO resulted in gross proceeds of $4,000,000 and net proceeds to Essential of $3,799,500 less $915,329 for payments of the Essential's liabilities leaving a balance of $2,884,171. At the same time, substantially all outstanding debt of the Essential was extinguished through either conversion into an aggregate of 452,202 Series A Preferred Shares or through cash payments. The stockholders of Alliance, after giving effect to all the transactions in the Exchange Agreement, which include the conversion of all Series A and Series B Preferred Stock and a 1 for 44 reverse split, will own 24,679,997 shares of common stock of Essential, or 48%. Additionally, holders of Essential's Series A 6% Convertible, Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock, who collectively own the right to vote approximately 16% of common stock, have granted an irrevocable proxy to vote their shares in all matters to the Chief Executive Officer of Alliance, thereby giving the stockholders of Alliance, in the aggregate, the power to vote approximately 64% of the common stock and control Essential. Following the transaction, the Company changed its name to Alliance Distributors Holding Inc. On July 26, 2004, the Chief Executive Officer of Alliance signed an employment agreement for two years with annual compensation of $300,000 per year for the first year and $350,000 for the second year, and at the discretion of the Board of Directors, bonuses equal to his salary. In addition, he will receive a monthly car allowance in the amount of $750 per month and stock options in amounts and terms to be determined by the Board of Directions upon the adoption of the Essential 2004 Stock Option Plan.

See notes to financial statements F-21 ALLIANCE DISTRIBUTORS HOLDING INC. (FORMERLY ESSENTIAL REALITY, INC.) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION, ORGANIZATION AND OTHER MATTERS On June 17, 2004, Essential Reality, Inc., referred to herein as the registrant,"Essential" or the "Company," entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with Jay Gelman, Andre Muller and Francis Vegliante, who were the sole shareholders (the "Shareholders") of AllianceCorner Distributors Inc., a New York corporation ("Alliance"). Alliance had no prior affiliation with the Company and commenced operations in August 2003. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company on June 29, 2004 acquired all the outstanding capital stock of Alliance from the Shareholders in exchange for 1,551,314 Series B Convertible Non Redeemable Preferred Shares ("Series B Preferred Shares"). As a result of the acquisition, the business of Alliance is the Company's only business. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition as of June 30, 2004 and the pre-acquisition financial statements of Alliance are treated as historical financial statements of the combined companies. As the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition into a public shell, no goodwill has been recorded and the costs incurred have been accounted for as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. As a result of the reverse acquisition: (i) the historical financial statements of the Company for periods prior to the date of the transaction are not presented and (ii) because Alliance is the accounting acquirer, the Company's historical stockholders' equity is not carried forward to the merged company as of June 30, 2004. The net monetary liabilities of the Company assumed in the transaction were approximately $153,000 after payments of approximately $915,000 (See Note 4). The name of AllianceCorner Distributors, Inc. was changed to Alliance Distributors Holding, Inc. after the acquisition and the Company does business under that name. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that maybe expected for the full year ending December 31, 2004. NATURE OF BUSINESS Essential Reality, LLC ("ER, LLC") was formed as Freedom Multimedia, LLC in the state of Delaware on July 9, 1998 and began active operations on June 1, 1999. The Company changed its name to ER, LLC on December 29, 1999. On June 20, 2002, ER, LLC completed a business combination (recapitalization) with JPAL, Inc. ("JPAL"), a Nevada Corporation (the "Transaction") whereby, all of the members of ER, LLC contributed their membership interests in ER, LLC to JPAL in exchange for shares of the JPAL's common stock. Following the Transaction, JPAL changed its name to Essential Reality, Inc. On November 6, 2003 the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to discontinue the sales of the P5(TM) Unit, a virtual controller, because of the lack of capital and the ability to raise additional funds and resolved to pursue the Exchange Agreement with Alliance, a privately held wholesale distributor of interactive video games and gaming products. F-22 PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERING As part of the Exchange Agreement with Alliance, the Company was required to raise funds to complete the transaction. The Company offered 1,124,767 shares of Series A 6% Convertible Non Redeemable Preferred Shares (the "Series A Preferred Shares"), through a private placement offering ("PPO"). The PPO resulted in gross proceeds of $4,000,000 and net proceeds to the Company of $3,799,500 less $915,329 for payments of the Company's liabilities leaving a balance of $2,884,171, which was transferred to the Company by the escrow agent as of July 1, 2004. At the same time, substantially all outstanding debt of the Company was extinguished through either conversion into an aggregate of 452,202 Series A Preferred Shares or through cash payments. (See Note 4) Sunrise Securities Corp. ("Sunrise") acted as the placement agent in connection with the PPO and received (a) an $8,500 nonrefundable retainer fee; and (b) a commission consisting of 108,146 shares of Series A Preferred Shares and 5 year warrants due June 29, 2009 to purchase 1,564,096 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.22 per share on a post reverse split basis. (see Stockholders' Equity section). STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on each matter that may come before a meeting of the shareholders. Each Series A Preferred Share and each Series B Preferred Share entitles the holder to 15.9090 votes, and votes as one class with the common stock. Certain holders of Series A Preferred Shares (the "Proxy Grantors") have granted to Jay Gelman an irrevocable proxy (the "Voting Proxy") to vote 533,334 Series A Preferred Shares owned by them and any shares of common stock into which such Series A Preferred Shares are converted. After conversion, the Series A Preferred Shares owned by the Proxy Grantors will be entitled in the aggregate to 8,484,815 votes. In the Exchange Agreement, the Shareholders agreed to vote their Series B Preferred Shares in favor of an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation that would increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 4,400,000,000 (the "Amendment"), and in favor of a simultaneous reverse split of the common stock on the basis of one share for forty-four shares to 100,000,000 authorized shares (the "Reverse Split"). The Company filed a Schedule 14C relating, in part, to the adoption of the Amendment and the Reverse Split with the Securities and Exchange Agreement on October 26, 2004 in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 14C under the Act. (See Item 4) These actions will not become effective before November 22, 2004, the 21st day following the date the Company sent an information statement relating to these actions to security holders entitled to vote. All share and per share data included in these financial statements have been adjusted for the split. The Series A Preferred Shares are entitled on conversion to a dividend in kind, i.e., in Series A Preferred Shares, accruing at the rate of 6% per annum from June 29, 2004 until the effectiveness of the Amendment. The Series A Preferred Shares are convertible into 26,808,648, shares of post reverse split common stock. The Series B Preferred Shares are convertible into 24,679,997 shares of post reverse split common stock. The warrant issued to Sunrise Securities Corp. is exercisable into 1,564,096 shares of common stock. The adoption of the Amendment and the Reverse Split will result in the automatic conversion of each Series A Preferred Share and each Series B Preferred Share into 15.91 shares of post-split common stock. However, Series A Preferred Shares owned by a holder will not be converted into common stock if and so long as a result of conversion the holder would beneficially own in excess of 4.999% or 9.999% of the issued and outstanding shares, respectively. Any Series A Preferred Shares not converted into the Company's common stock due to the operation of this restriction (the "4.999% Restriction") will no longer be entitled to the 6% dividend referred to above. The shares of the Company's common stock underlying the Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares are entitled to registration rights. F-23 After giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, the Reverse Split and the PPO and to the conversion of all Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares, but not giving effect to warrants issued to the Placement Agent in connection with the PPO and to the 4.999% Restriction, the former shareholders of Alliance collectively own 24,679,997 shares of common stock, or approximately 48% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, investors in the PPO own approximately 18,685,005 shares of common stock ,or approximately 36% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, investors converting outstanding debt in the PPO own 6,135,007 shares of common stock, or approximately 12% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, the Placement Agent owns 1,720,505 shares of common stock, or approximately 3% of the outstanding common stock of the Company and shareholders who owned the approximately 22,000,000 pre-split shares outstanding prior to PPO own approximately 500,000 post-split shares of common stock, or approximately 1% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. Investors in the PPO paid the equivalent of $.005 per share of common stock on an as converted pre-split basis ($.22 on a post-split basis). In connection with the Exchange Agreement, the former shareholders of Alliance have agreed not to dispose of any of their Series B Preferred Shares (or any of their shares of the Company's common stock received by them upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares) for a period of one year from the closing of the Exchange Agreement. The three former Shareholders of Alliance each own 517,105 Series B Preferred Shares representing 15.8% of the Company's total voting power (the total number of votes that can be cast by the outstanding common stock, Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares). Mr. Gelman, based on his Series B Preferred Shares and his voting rights pursuant to the Voting Proxy, has 31.9% of the Company's total voting power. The Shareholders in the aggregate have approximately 63% of the Company's total voting power and control the Company. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES INVENTORY Inventory consists entirely of finished goods held for sale and is reported at the lower of cost or market, on the average cost basis. At times, Alliance makes advance payments to vendors to procure and ensure delivery of certain high demand products. Such deposits are reflected as due from vendors in the balance sheet. EQUIPMENT AND IMPROVEMENTS Contributed equipment is recorded at fair market value. Purchased equipment and improvements are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease terms or the assets' useful lives. When equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated lives of the related assets using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives for equipment and improvements categories are as follows: Vehicles 4 years Warehouse equipment 3 to 7 years Office furniture and equipment 3 to 7 years Leasehold improvements 5 to 10 years REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes sales upon shipment of products to customers as title and risk of loss pass upon shipment and collectibility is reasonably assured. Provisions for estimated discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. F-24 INCOME TAXES At December 31, 2003 Essential had pre-acquisition unused net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7,500,000 for purposes that maybe applied against future taxable income and that, if unused, expire 2023. The Company will evaluate its net operating loss carryforward availability and determine whether a tax provision is required at year-end. As a result of the Exchange Agreement, the Company believes it has undergone a change in control. Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards will be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change and limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The annual limitations may result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards before utilization. Alliance was a Subchapter S Corporation and accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes for the periods prior to June 29, 2004. Effective June 29, 2004, Alliance is subject to federal income taxes. A deferred tax asset, which would consist primarily of an NOL for Alliance at September 30, 2004, has not been recorded because the likelihood of realization is uncertain. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common shares outstanding assume the conversion of Series A and B Preferred Shares into 15.9090 post-split shares of Common Stock. Common equivalents which would include the conversion of Sunrise's warrants have not been included as their effect would be anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2004. No stock options have been issued. 3. DUE TO FACTOR In December 2003, Alliance entered into a factoring arrangement with a commercial factor. Alliance sells a substantial portion of its trade receivables up to maximum credit limits established by the factor for each individual account. Receivables sold in excess of these limitations are subject to recourse in the event of non-payment by the customer. Under the terms of the agreement, Alliance pays interest at the prime lending rate plus 1.5% (6.25% at September 30, 2004) for advances made prior to the collection of the factored accounts receivable. At September 30, 2004 advances of approximately $1,004,000 were offset against amounts due to the factor. Substantially all of Alliance's assets have been pledged as collateral under the factoring agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, Alliance is required to maintain a specified level of net worth, as defined. At September 30, 2004, Alliance is in compliance with this covenant. Subsequently, on November 11, 2004, the factoring agreement was replaced with a new Financing Agreement. (See Note 8) F-25 4. SETTLEMENT OF ESSENTIAL'S PRE-ACQUISITION LIABILITIES OUTSTANDING LIABILITIES TO VENDORS, RELATED PARTIES, EMPLOYEES AND OTHER The outstanding Company liabilities to vendors, related parties, employees and others, were resolved as follows as a result of the Exchange Agreement:

SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE: As of June 30, 2004, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and the PPO, the debenture holders agreed to convert the outstanding principal in the amount of $1,000,000 into 80,285 Series A 6% Convertible Non Redeemable Preferred Stock and provided a release for the accrued interest in the amount of $119,593.

LIABILITIES TO BE PAID IN COMMON STOCK As of September 30, 2004 pursuant to the Exchange Agreement the Company will issue 110,000, post-split, common stock for services rendered in the amount of $32,200. 6. WARRANTS Pursuant to the PPO, the Company issued Sunrise 5 year warrants due June 29, 2009 to purchase 1,564,096 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.22 per share on a post-reverse split basis. In addition, the Company has outstanding 3 year warrants due June 20, 2005 with an exercise price of $57.20 to purchase 7,528 post-reverse split common stock issued to the financial consultants associated with the JPAL deal on June 20, 2002. Subsequently, on November 11, 2004, in connection with the new Financing Agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of post-reverse split common stock at $0.10 per share. (See Note 8) F-26 7. LITIGATION On August 19, 2004 a complaint was filed by Radio Wave LLC ("Plaintiff"), in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, against ER, LLC, Essential and David Devor, a former officer and a current employee of the Company, for rent, additional rent, cost and fees relating to premises formerly occupied by the Company. Plaintiff seeks to recover $150,416 for the period up to August 31, 2004, plus additional amounts to be determined by the Court for the period subsequent to August 31, 2004. Plaintiff also seeks to recover $50,000 in expenses and attorney fees plus additional amounts to be determined by the Court. The Company believes that the suit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend its position. 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On November 11, 2004, Alliance entered into a Financing Agreement which replaces the factoring agreement with Rosenthal & Rosenthal Inc. ("Rosenthal"). Under the Agreement, Rosenthal may in its discretion lend up to $5 million to Alliance based on eligible inventory and receivables. All borrowings are due on demand, are secured by substantially all of the assets of Alliance and are subject to the Company's compliance with certain financial covenants. The Agreement terminates November 30, 2007 unless terminated by Rosenthal on 30 days' notice. Interest on outstanding borrowings is payable at a variable rate per annum, equal to the prime rate (but not less than 4.75 percent) plus 2.00 percent (7.25 percent as of December 22, 2004). The Company's CEO and the Company's President signed limited guaranties in respect of borrowings under the Agreement. In connection with the Agreement, the Company issued to Rosenthal a warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share. All share and dollar amounts give effect to the proposed 1 for 44 reverses split of common stock that is referred to in the Company filing on Form 14C on October 26, 2004. The Company expects to record deferred financing costs of approximately $110,000 in the fourth quarter, representing the fair value of the warrants, which will be amortized over the life of the financing agreement. The Warrant expires on November 30, 2010. On notice by the Company the Warrants will expire earlier if the closing price of the common stock during a period designated in the Warrants is not less than $0.40 per share. The Warrants may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis (i.e., by deducting from the number of shares otherwise issuable on exercise a number of shares that have a then market value equal to the exercise price). F-27 CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE Previously disclosed on the Company's reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2003 and July 14, 2004.

To the extent that indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for directors, officers and controlling persons of our company, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
