Prospectus Summary


About our Company


       This summary highlights important information about our business and about the offering.  Because it is a summary, it does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our securities.  Please read this entire prospectus.  


       We were formed to acquire substantially all of the business assets of Butte Creek Brewing Company, LLC, a California limited liability company.  We completed the acquisition of Butte Creek on August 31, 2005.   We currently are a holding company for our wholly-owned subsidiary Golden West Brewing Company, a California corporation, which was formed to complete the acquisition and since the acquisition has been operating as Butte Creek Brewing Company.


       Butte Creek has been operating as a premier regional craft brewery in Chico, California since 1996.  It specializes in brewing certified organic craft beers.  Our flagship brews consist of Organic Ale, Organic Porter, Organic India Pale Ale, Organic Pilsner, Revolution X – Imperial IPA, Mount Shasta Pale Ale, Mount Shasta Strong Ale, Creekside Wheat, and Gold Ale.  In addition, we craft seasonal brews consisting of Winter Ale, Organic Spring Ale, and Christmas Cranberry Ale.


       In addition to brewing our own brand of products, we have recently begun contract brewing for third parties.  


       We currently distribute our products in a total of 19 states, including our core market of California which is serviced through both direct sales and distributors.  The majority of our distribution outside of Northern California occurs through a network of independent alcoholic beverage distributors who are licensed in their respective jurisdictions.


       Butte Creek's principal offices and brewery are located at 945 West 2nd Street, Chico, California  95928.  Its telephone number at that address is (530) 894-7906.  In addition, our internet website is located at www.organicale.com.

Risk Factors


An investment in our securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Please carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as the possibility of the loss of your entire investment, before deciding to invest in our securities.


Risks Related to This Offering and Our Stock


The tangible book value of our common stock after the offering will be lower than the offering price, which will result in immediate and substantial dilution for investors.


Even if we sell all 1,000,000 shares that we are offering, investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering will incur immediate and substantial dilution of their investment of approximately $.46 per share, or 92% of the offering price, based upon our adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2006.  If we sell fewer than 1,000,000 shares, the dilution will be even greater.  To the extent that currently outstanding options to purchase our common stock are exercised, there will be further dilution to investors acquiring shares of common stock.  


It is possible that we may have violated Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 when we effected the conversion of $10,000 in advance payable into shares of common stock without registration under the Securities Act after this registration statement had been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  If we are found to have violated Section 5 of the Securities Act, we may be subject to civil penalties and other sanctions as well as the rescission rights of the party that converted his note receivable into shares of our common stock, amounting to $10,000.


It is possible that it may be determined that we violated Section 5 of the Securities Act.  Section 5 of the Securities Act prohibits the use of any means or instruments of transportation or communication in interstate commerce or of the mails to sell a security unless a registration statement is in effect as to such security.  Section 5(c) of the Securities Act prohibits the use of any means or instruments of transportation or communication in interstate commerce or of the mails to offer to sell or offer to buy a security unless a registration statement has been filed as to such security.


The transaction that may have caused such a violation of Section 5 is as follows:  In December, 2004, we made the initial filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.  In June 2005, an unaffiliated third-party, Bob Vogt, loaned us the sum of $10,000.  The loan was unsecured and undocumented.  It was our intention to repay the loan in a short period of time; however, we were unable to do so due to our lack of working capital.  In December 2005, in an effort to improve our balance sheet, we offered Mr. Vogt an opportunity to convert his $10,000 loan into shares of our common stock.  In December 2005, we effected the conversion of Mr. Vogt’s loan into shares of our common stock in a transaction in which we relied upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act contained in Section 4(2), which exempts transactions not involving a public offering.


Under the principals of integration, two or more offerings of securities may be integrated and deemed to be one offering under certain circumstances.  Factors considered in determining whether offers and sales of securities should be integrated are:  




7





§

Whether the sales are part of a single plan of financing;

§

Whether the sales involve the issuance of the same class of securities;

§

Whether the sales have been made at or about the same time;

§

Whether the same type of consideration is being received; and,

§

Whether the sales were made for the same general purpose.


If it were to be determined that the conversion of Mr. Vogt’s note payable into shares of common stock is integrated with the offering covered by the registration statement and this prospectus, then we could not rely upon the exemption contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the Vogt conversion, and as a result, it may be determined that the conversion of the Vogt loan into shares of common stock constituted a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act.  If this were to occur, we would become subject to remedial actions, which would include the payment of disgorgement, pre-judgment interest and civil or criminal penalties pursuant to Sections 12(a)(1), 8A and 24 of the Securities Act.  We are not aware of any pending claims for sanctions against us based upon a Section 5 violation and we intend to vigorously defend any such claim should it arise.  However, in our financial statements, we have classified the advance payable to Mr. Vogt as subject to rescission.  A rescission offer would require that we file a registration statement covering the offer and, once the registration statement has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, redeeming the shares of common stock and repaying the loan to Mr. Vogt.  In addition, we could face possible civil penalties in an undetermined amount.  This could have a significant impact on our working capital and impair our ability to continue as a going concern.

Furthermore, any claim for rescission would make it difficult for us to raise additional debt or equity financing needed to run our business, and would not be viewed favorably by analysts or investors.


Future issuances of our common stock could dilute current shareholders and adversely affect the market if it develops.


We have the authority to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to issue options and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, without shareholder approval.  These future issuances could be at values substantially below the price paid for our common stock by investors in this offering, which would result in significant dilution to those investors. .  In addition, we could issue large blocks of our common stock to fend off unwanted tender offers or hostile takeovers without further shareholder approval, which would not only result in further dilution to  investors in this offering but could also depress the market value of our  common stock, if a public trading market develops.


We may issue preferred stock that would have rights that are preferential to the rights of the common stock that could discourage potentially beneficial transactions to our common stockholders.


An issuance of additional shares of preferred stock could result in a class of outstanding securities that would have preferences with respect to voting rights and dividends and in liquidation over the common stock and could, upon conversion or otherwise, have all of the rights of our common stock.  Our Board of Directors' authority to issue preferred stock could discourage potential takeover attempts or could delay or prevent a change in control through merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise by making these attempts more difficult or costly to achieve.  The issuance of preferred stock could impair the voting, dividend and liquidation rights of common stockholders without their approval.



8




There is currently no market for our common shares, and investors may be unable to sell their shares for an indefinite period of time.


There is presently no market for our common shares. There is no assurance that a liquid market for our common shares will ever develop in the United States or elsewhere, or that if such a market does develop that it will continue.  Accordingly, an investment in common shares of our Company should only be considered by those investors who do not require liquidity and can afford to suffer a total loss of their investment. An investor should consult with professional advisers before making such an investment.


Over-the-counter stocks are subject to risks of high volatility and price fluctuation.


We have not applied to have our shares listed on any stock exchange or on the NASDAQ Stock Market, and we do not plan to do so in the foreseeable future.  As a result, if a trading market does develop for our common stock, of which there is no assurance, it is likely that our shares will trade on the over-the-counter market.  The OTC market for securities has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations during certain periods.  These broad market fluctuations and other factors, such as new product developments and trends in our Company's industry and the investment markets generally, as well as economic conditions and quarterly variations in our results of operations, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and make it more difficult for investors in this offering to sell their shares.


Trading in our securities will in all likelihood be conducted on an electronic bulletin board established for securities that do not meet NASDAQ listing requirements.  As a result, investors will find it substantially more difficult to dispose of our securities.  Investors may also find it difficult to obtain accurate information and quotations as to the price of, our common stock.  


Our stock price may be volatile and as a result, investors could lose all or part of their investment. The value of an investment could decline due to the impact of any of the following factors upon the market price of our common stock:


* failure to meet sales and marketing goals or operating budget
* decline in demand for our common stock
* operating results failing to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors in any quarter
* downward revisions in securities analysts' estimates or changes in general market conditions
* investor perception of our Company's industry or prospects
* general economic trends


In addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations and the market prices of securities have been highly volatile.  These fluctuations are often unrelated to operating performance and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.  As a result, investors may be unable to resell their shares at or above the offering price.  




9



Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results due, in part, to the seasonal nature of our business, could adversely affect the market for our common stock.

 

Our Company's quarterly operating results are subject to fluctuations, and if we fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors in any quarter, our share price could decline significantly. Our business is highly seasonal, with greater sales in the second and third quarters.  In addition to these seasonal fluctuations, factors that may cause our operating results to vary include many of the risk factors discussed elsewhere in this prospectus, and also include:


* the nature of a significant proportion of our operating expenses, particularly personnel and facilities.
* prices and suppliers of raw materials are not subject to long term agreements and could change without notice.

* the effect of employee and contractor utilization rates and the time required to train and productively
 engage new employees
* changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors

* relationships with key distributors are not protected by long term contracts.


These factors make past performance an unreliable predictor of future performance, and the resulting uncertainty could discourage investors from purchasing our shares in the public market.



Outstanding shares that are eligible for future sale could adversely impact a public trading market for our common stock, if a public trading market develops.


All of the 2,000,000 common stock currently outstanding were offered and sold by us in private transactions in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Accordingly, all of such shares are "restricted securities" as defined by Rule 144 ("Rule 144") under the Securities Act and cannot be resold without registration except in reliance on Rule 144 or another applicable exemption from registration. In general, under Rule 144 a person (or persons whose shares are required to be aggregated), including any affiliate of ours, who beneficially owns restricted shares for a period of at least one year is entitled to sell within any three month period shares equal in number to the greater of (i) one percent of the then outstanding shares of common stock or (ii) the average weekly trading volume of the same class of shares during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of the required notice of sale with the Commission. The seller must also comply with the notice and manner of sale requirements of Rule 144, and there must be current public information available about the Company.  In addition, any person (or persons whose shares are required to be aggregated) who is not, at the time of sale, nor during the preceding three months, an affiliate of the Company, and who has beneficially owned restricted shares for at least two years, can sell such shares without regard to notice, manner of sale, public information or the volume limitations described above. Approximately 1,500,000 shares of common stock are eligible for resale under Rule 144 provided other requirements of Rule 144 are met and assuming the proposed reductions in holding period are not adopted).


Upon completion of this offering, we intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our Equity Incentive Plan.  Persons who are not affiliates, and who receive shares that are registered under this registration



10



statement, will be able to resell those shares in the public market without restriction under the Securities Act.  This registration statement will become effective immediately upon filing.


No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of restricted shares of common stock, or the availability of such common stock for sale, will have on the market price of the common stock prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of such common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the then prevailing market price of the common stock.


Risks Related to Our Business


Due to our history of operating losses our auditors are uncertain that we will be able to continue as a going concern.


Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Due to our continuing operating losses and negative cash flows from our operations, the reports of our auditors issued in connection with our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 contained an explanatory paragraph indicating that the foregoing matters raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to continue as a going concern.


All of our assets have been pledged as collateral to secure the repayment of loans to third parties, three of whom are related parties.  If we default in any of those loans, our assets would be subject to risk of forfeiture.


All of our assets have been pledged as security to third parties, including three related parties: Power Curve, Inc., a company controlled by John C. Power; John Power individually, and Lone Oak Vineyards, Inc., a company controlled by Brian Power, for the repayment of loans.  If we are unable to pay any of those debts in a timely fashion or otherwise breach any of the terms of the loans or security agreements, our assets would be subject to foreclosure by the lender.  Should foreclosure occur, it is likely that we would be forced to discontinue operations and our interest in the assets could be forfeited.  


We do not yet have a history of earnings, profit or return on investment and there is no assurance that we will operate profitably or provide a return on investment in the future.


We have never been profitable, we expect to incur net losses for the foreseeable future and we may never be profitable. We incurred a consolidated net loss of $(127,785) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and a consolidated loss of $(134,425) for the three months ended March 31, 2006.




11



Our trademarks, including the name “Mt. Shasta Ale,” and other intellectual property rights do not provide us with protection against competition. In addition, we have agreed not to seek federal trademark registration for the name “Mt. Shasta Ale,” and as a result do not believe that we can successfully develop a strong trademark for that brand.


We do not claim intellectual property rights and do not believe that patents and copyrights can protect the recipes and formulas that we use in developing and manufacturing our craft beers.  While we try to protect them as trade secrets through agreements with our employees, those agreements may not provide adequate protection against use by others.


We rely heavily on developing brand recognition for our products and claim common law trademark protection for all of our brands.  We have applied for and been granted a federal registration for the trademark “Golden West Brewing” and a State of California registration for the trademark “Revolution X.” However, we cannot be assured that these registrations will successfully preclude others from using the mark.


By assignment, we had acquired rights to Intent to Use trademark application covering the trademark "Mount Shasta Ale."  The original applicant under that ITU had been involved in litigation with a third party concerning claims of infringement with respect to the use of that mark.  That litigation has been settled under an agreement that will permit us to continue to use the trademark "Mount Shasta Ale."  However, in the interim, we have received notification from Shasta Beverage Company that if we pursue our trademark registration for "Mount Shasta Ale," they will oppose the application (but not our unregistered use of the mark).  As a result, we have abandoned our ITU application for the mark; but will continue to use the mark under a claim of common law trademark protection.  However, given the foregoing history, we do not believe that we will be able to develop a strong trademark using the name "Mount Shasta Ale" and there exists serious doubt if we could successfully defend the use of the mark.


We do not believe that intellectual property rights, including trademark and copyright laws form a basis for significant competitive advantage or protect us from intense competition.


We could become involved in costly and disruptive litigation related to our use of trademarks for our products, which could result in adverse judgments against us.


Subject to the uncertainties surrounding our use of the mark "Mount Shasta Ale" described above, we are not aware that any of our products or other intellectual property infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties.  However, there can be no assurance that third parties will not claim infringement by us with respect to current or future products.  Furthermore, we may initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement of our proprietary rights, or for purposes of establishing the validity of our proprietary rights. Litigation, either as plaintiff or defendant, could cause us to incur substantial costs and divert management resources from productive tasks whether or not such litigation is resolved in our favor, which would impair our limited working capital and interfere with our ability to increase our marketing and sales. Parties making claims against us could seek to recover substantial damages, which we may not have the resources to pay as well as injunctive or other equitable relief, which could effectively block our ability to sell or license our products.




12



We owe significant amounts to our creditors, including taxes to federal and state taxing authorities, a portion of which are delinquent. Taxing authorities could shut down our business and foreclose on our assets for non-payment of delinquent taxes. We will continue to need significant capital, without which our business may fail.


At March 31, 2006,  we owed approximately $138,463 in taxes to the IRS, TTB and State of California and local taxing authorities and in excess of $651,832 in current liabilities to various persons, including, vendors, our officers and directors and other related parties. Of our outstanding taxes payable, approximately $122,701 are considered delinquent. The taxing authorities to whom we owe unpaid delinquent assessments could pre-emptively shut down our operations for non-payment and foreclose on our assets to collect the taxes.  Such an action would likely result in a total business failure. We have targeted the payment of these taxes as our highest priority for the use of offering proceeds, which may be insufficient to pay all of the delinquency.  An additional portion of the proceeds of the offering will be used to pay in part some of our creditors and it is possible that additional proceeds of this offering will be needed to pay some of those creditors since we have no other assured source of funds.  We are dependent on and intend to use virtually all of the net proceeds of this offering for debt repayment and for working capital.  We estimate that we will need approximately $250,000 to provide necessary working capital over the next 12 months.  The proceeds received from this offering may not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements.  The proceeds from only the minimum offering would enable us to operate for only three months without additional funds.  We do not have any commitments for any other funds outside this offering and there can be no assurance that additional funds will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.  We do not have any agreements with our creditors, including our officers and directors, concerning payment of our liabilities and if we are unable to continue in business we would be required to pay those obligations before any payment could be made to any shareholder, including investors in this offering.  Investors should be aware that there is a substantial risk that they could lose the full amount of their investment in our securities.  


If we are unable to increase our production volume, we may not be able to achieve break-even or profitable operations.


Our current production rate is approximately 6,000 barrels per year.  We estimate that we will need to increase production volume to at least 7,500 barrels per year in order to achieve break-even operating results.  To increase production, we will need to purchase additional brewing equipment, which will require additional working capital.  There can be no assurance that the proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to enable us to increase our production capacity to reach break-even or profitable operations.


If we are unable to expand our product distribution, we may not be able to achieve break-even operation results.


Our direct distributions have historically been concentrated in Northern California.  Our direct sales in Northern California accounted for 30.8% of 2005 sales and 29.2% of sales through March 31, 2006.  We also have third-party distributor sales in Northern California, as well as in 18 other states; however, those sales are sporadic, unpredictable and difficult to manage.  There is no assurance that consumers in new geographic markets will be receptive to our products. We believe that Northern California is likely to continue to be the largest market for our brands, and that regional identification may assist our competitors in other regions.  Penetration into other regional markets is an important

element of our growth plan, and failure to accomplish this objective will hinder the success of the expansion plan which is necessary to achieve break-even operations.


We rely heavily upon independent distributors to market our product.  Those distributors also market other alcoholic beverages, including other craft beers that are competitive with ours.  As a result, distributors over whom we exercise little control can significantly influence the degree to which retailers and consumers buy our products instead of products of competitive microbreweries.


We distribute our products through a network of independent import distributors for resale to retailers such as restaurants, taverns, and bars as well as to local distributors. Accordingly, we are dependent upon these distributors to sell our beer and to assist us in creating demand for, and promoting market acceptance of our products.  We also depend upon them to provide adequate service to our retail customers. There can be no assurance that our distributors will devote the resources necessary to provide effective sales and promotional support to us.


Our most significant distributor, Mountain People's Warehouse, accounted for approximately 19.9% of our shipments in the year ended December 31, 2005 and 22.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2006.  A retailer, Ray's is the Place, was responsible for 5.7% of sales in 2005 and 1.8% for the three  months ended March 31, 2006.  A disruption of our distributors or wholesalers' or the loss of a significant customer, or the termination by any major distributor could have a material adverse impact on our sales and results of operations.

 

The distributors that we rely upon also market competing imported and domestic craft beers. Although by law distributors are independent of any brewer, a distributor can be controlled if it relies on one or two large brewers who account for the majority of its sales. We have no formal long term written distribution agreements with our distributors; and most distribution arrangements can be terminated by the distributor on 30 days’ notice.  A down-turn in the performance or loss of a single distributor can have a material adverse impact on sales and, as a result, on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.


Aging of inventories may result in material losses in the future.


We do not use preservatives in our products, and accordingly the packaged beer has a shelf life of approximately 120 days from the release date.  Our policy is to sell product to distributors with sufficient remaining shelf life to ensure that the beer will be fresh when sold to the consumer. Product that remains unsold after 120 days is returned to us for destruction or other disposition. If and to the extent that near-term sales projections exceed actual performance and result in material excess packaged beer inventories, we may experience inventory write-downs, spoilage and associated losses.


Our compliance with governmental regulation of environmental matters could pose additional expenses on our business.


The manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages is regulated by both federal and state authorities.  We have obtained and currently maintain all required federal and state permits, licenses and bonds required to operate our brewery.  In addition, our brewery is subject to regulation by the water pollution control divisions of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the State of California.  Although we believe that we are in full compliance with all applicable environmental



14



regulations, there can be no assurance that future changes in those regulations may require us to alter our method of operations or install fixtures and equipment with associated delays and increased costs.


Our waste products consist of water, spent grains, hops, glass and cardboard.  Disposal of our waste, including sewer discharge from the brewery, is monitored by local governmental agencies.  While we believe we currently comply with all governmental regulations, if we fail to comply with applicable standards for such disposal, fines could be levied and our business operations suspended until we achieve compliance.  


Possible increases in excise taxes could adversely affect our business.


Alcoholic beverages are subject to substantial federal and state excise taxes. The federal rate of taxation increases from $7.00 per bbl. to $18.00 per bbl. for annual production in excess of 60,000 bbl.  Our current production rate is 4,000 bbl per year.  The State of California imposes an excise tax of $6.20 per bbl.  Alcoholic beverages have in recent years been targets of attempts to increase so-called "sin taxes." If excise taxes are increased, we could have to raise prices to maintain profit margins. Historically, price increases due to additional excise taxes have not reduced unit sales, but past experience does not necessarily indicate future effects, and the actual effect is likely to depend on the amount of the increase, general economic conditions, and other factors. The occurrence of significant tax increases could require us to increase our prices, which could result in a loss of sales, or erode our margins, which would make it more difficult to achieve profitability.  


Operating hazards related to our business could result in liability risks in excess of our insurance.


Our operations are subject to certain hazards and liability risks faced by all brewers, such as bottle flaws or potential contamination of ingredients or products by bacteria or other external agents that may be accidentally or wrongfully introduced into products or packaging. Our products are not pasteurized, irradiated or chemically treated and require careful product rotation to prevent spoilage. However, neither spoiled beer nor the bacteria introduced in the brewing process is known to be harmful to human health.  We run periodic diagnostic tests on all of our products to assure that they meet our quality control guidelines and comply with federal and state regulatory requirements. While we have not experienced a serious contamination problem in our products, the occurrence of such a problem could result in a costly product recall and serious damage to our reputation for product quality.  Our operations are also subject to certain injury and liability risks normally associated with the operation and possible malfunction of brewing and packaging equipment.  We currently maintain general liability insurance, which includes liquor liability coverage, currently limited to $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate annually.  While we believe these general liability insurance limits are adequate, there can be no assurance that future claims may not exceed those limits.  Further, future increases in premiums could make it prohibitive for us to maintain adequate insurance.  A large uninsured or underinsured damage award could force us to discontinue operations.


Shifting public attitudes toward alcohol consumption may impact revenues.


The alcoholic beverage industry has become the subject of considerable societal and political attention in recent years due to increasing public concern over alcohol-related social problems including drunk driving, underage drinking, and health consequences from the misuse of alcohol, including alcoholism.  In addition, a number of anti-alcohol groups are advocating increased governmental action on a variety of fronts unfavorable to the beer industry, including the legislation of new labeling



15



or packaging requirements and restrictions on advertising and promotion that could adversely affect the sale of our products.  If beer consumption in general were to come into disfavor among domestic consumers, or if the domestic beer industry were subjected to significant additional governmental regulations, our business could be materially adversely affected. In addition, there can be no assurance that the operations of our brewery will not become subject to increased taxation by federal or state agencies, which may materially and adversely affect our operations, revenues and potential profitability. Congress and many state legislatures are considering various proposals to impose additional excise taxes on the production and sale of alcoholic beverages, including beer. Some of the excise tax rates being considered are substantial.  Restrictions on the sale and consumption of beer or increases in the retail cost of beer due to increased governmental regulations, taxes or otherwise, could require us to either increase prices, which would dampen sales, or erode our margins, which would make it more difficult to achieve profitability.


We have only one contract with a supplier of hops and grain. Supply shortages could adversely affect our business.


Shortages or increased costs of fuel, water, raw materials or power, or allocations by suppliers could restrict the operations of our brewery.  We have only one contract for our hops and grains, so our supply channels could be disrupted without notice.


While we attempt to use organic hops wherever possible, many forms of hops are not available organically.  In the United States, only one type of hops is organically grown.  All other organically-grown hops must be purchased from foreign sources, and those quantities are limited.  As a result, the limited supply of organic hops limits our possible production of 100% organic microbrews.  This limited supply impairs our ability to exploit our competitive advantage over non-organic microbrewers.  In addition, if we experience difficulty or inability to acquire the particular hops needed for a production run, as we experienced in the summer of 2005,  we may be forced to curtail production and lose potential revenues.  All of these factors increase the risk that  we will not be able to achieve profitable  operations.  


Our directors, executive officers and key employees lack significant brewing experience or experience running brewing operations.


None of our executive officers or directors has any significant experience running brewing operations or other brewing experience.  We rely on the services of our general manager and brewer, each of whom is an at will employee and may voluntarily terminate his employment at any time.  Should we lose the services of either of these individuals, we may not be able to retain a qualified replacement in a timely manner, which could disrupt production and sales.

Determination Of Offering Price


       The offering price of the shares being offered hereby was arbitrarily determined by us and is not necessarily related to our assets, book value or financial condition.  In determining the offering price and the number of shares to be offered, we considered such factors as our financial condition, our net tangible book value, limited operating history and general condition of the securities market.  Accordingly, the offering price of the shares may not indicate the actual value of our securities.  


       There currently exists no public trading market for our common stock, and we cannot assure you that such a market will develop in the future.  In the absence of an active public trading market, an investor may not be able to liquidate his investment without considerable delay, if at all.  If a market does develop, the price for our securities may be highly volatile and may bear no relationship to our actual financial condition or results of operation.


       If our securities are not quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board, they may be quoted in the "pink sheets" maintained by the Pink Sheets, LLC, which reports quotations by brokers or dealers making a market in particular securities.  We have no agreement with any other broker or dealer to act as a market maker for our securities and there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining any market makers.  The lack of a market maker for our securities could adversely influence the market for and price of our securities, as well as your ability to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of, our securities.




17



Use of Proceeds


       The net proceeds to us from the sale of the shares after deducting offering expenses, are expected to be approximately $50,000 if the minimum number of 400,000 shares are sold at an offering price of $.50 per share, $200,000 if the median number of 700,000 shares or sold, or $350,000 if the maximum number of 1,000,000 shares are sold.


       These proceeds are intended to be utilized substantially in the dollar amounts and percentage of total proceeds set forth below.

       "Repayment of Debt."  Will consist of payments of delinquent accounts payable of Butte Creek assumed in the acquisition, including payroll and other taxes to the IRS (with interest accruing at 18%), California Employment Development Department Taxes (with interest accruing at 8%) and fees owed to the TTB and California Alcohol Beverage Control (with interest accruing at 6%) and the California Board of Equalization (with interest at 8%),  California Department of Conservation (with interest at 8%), Franchise Tax Board and Butte County in the aggregate amount of  approximately $138,000 at March 31, 2006. Repayment of these accrued taxes will be our highest priority.  Other accounts payable will be paid on a “most urgent” basis, in all likelihood to vendors and suppliers, including hops, grain and glass suppliers, the determination of which will be made at the time of payment.  If all accrued taxes have otherwise been paid out of operating revenues at the conclusion of the offering, and offering proceeds are not, in the judgment of management, needed to pay vendors and suppliers, we may also repay to two of our directors, Mr. J. Andrew Moorer and Mr. John Power $25,000 in partial repayment of advances they have extended to the Company.  


       "Working capital" includes costs associated with the following expenditures necessary for our ongoing operations, including:


 

-

Rent (10%)

 

-

Utilities (10%)

 

-

Employee salaries and benefits (30%)

 

-

Marketing expansion, including engaging new distributors in new territories and marketing materials (25%)

 

-

Inventory expansion (25%)

   

No amounts allocated to working capital will be paid to our officers or directors.


       In the past, we have experienced a chronic shortage of working capital. We have and will continue to adopt a policy of paying the most critical operating expenses and accounts payable to avoid an interruption of operations.


       Pending our use of the net proceeds of the offering, the funds will be invested temporarily in certificates of deposit, short-term government securities, or similar investments.  Any income from these short-term investments will be used for working capital.




18



       The net proceeds from this offering, together with internally generated funds and funds on hand at the time of the offering, based on historical experience, are expected to be adequate to fund our working capital needs for at least the next three months if only the minimum proceeds are received, or for the next nine months if the maximum proceeds are received.  We may need to seek funds through loans or other financing arrangements in the future, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to make these arrangements in the future should the need arise.





19



Dividend Policy


       We have not declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock in the preceding two fiscal years.  We currently intend to retain all future earnings, if any, to fund the operation of our business, and, therefore, do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.  Our Board of Directors will determine whether any cash dividends will be declared in the future.

Dilution


       At March 31, 2006, we had a historical net tangible book value deficit of $(390,363) or $(.20) per share, based upon 2,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding.  Pro forma net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing the number of outstanding shares of common stock into our pro forma net tangible book value, meaning total assets less intangible assets less total liabilities, and then subtracting capitalized offering costs.


       If we sell all 1,000,000 shares that we are offering, of which there is no assurance, the adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2006, would have been $109,637 or $.04 per share of common stock, based upon 3,000,000 shares outstanding.  This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $.24 per share to current stockholders and an immediate decrease of $.46 per share to you as an investor in our offering.  To the extent fewer shares are sold in the offering, the dilution to investors will be greater.  


       If we sell the median of 700,000 shares, of which there is no assurance, the adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2006, would have been $(40,363), or $(.02) per share of common stock, based upon 2,700,000 shares outstanding.  This represents and immediate increase in net tangible book value of $.18 per share to current stockholders and an immediate decrease of $.52 per share to you as an investor in our offering.


       If we sell the minimum of 400,000 shares, of which there is no assurance, the adjusted net tangible book value deficit as of March 31, 2006, would have been $(190,363) or $(.08) per share of common stock, based upon 2,400,000 shares outstanding.  This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $.12 per share to current stockholders and an immediate decrease of $.58 per share to you as an investor in our offering.  


       The following table illustrates the per share dilution, assuming (i) 400,000 shares are sold in our offering; (ii) 700,000 are sold and (iii) all 1,000,000 shares are sold:

Information about the Market for Our Securities


       There currently exists no public trading market for our securities.  We do not intend to develop a public trading market until our offering has terminated.  There can be no assurance that a public trading market will develop at that time or be sustained in the future.  Without an active public trading market, you may not be able to liquidate your investment without considerable delay, if at all.  If a market does develop, the price for our securities may be highly volatile and may bear no relationship to our actual financial condition or results of operations.  Factors we discuss in this prospectus, including the many risks associated with an investment in us, may have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock.  Also, because of the relatively low price of our common stock, many brokerage firms may not effect transactions in the common stock.


       In addition, it is likely that our common stock will be subject to rules adopted by the Commission regulating broker dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks."  Those disclosure rules applicable to penny stocks require a broker dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission.  That disclosure document advises an investor that investment in penny stocks can be very risky and that the investor's salesperson or broker is not an impartial advisor but rather paid to sell the shares.  The disclosure contains further warnings for the investor to exercise caution in connection with an investment in penny stocks, to independently investigate the security, as well as the salesperson with whom the investor is working and to understand the risky nature of an investment in this security.  The broker dealer must also provide the customer with certain other information and must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction.  Further, the rules require that, following the proposed transaction, the broker provide the customer with monthly account statements containing market information about the prices of the securities.

Safe Harbor for Forward-looking Statements


In General


       This prospectus contains statements that plan for or anticipate the future.  In this prospectus, forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words "anticipate," "plan," "believe," "expect," "estimate," and the like.  These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the following:


 

*

our product and marketing plans

   
 

*

consulting and strategic business relationships;

   
 

*

statements about our future business plans and strategies;

   
 

*

anticipated operating results and sources of future revenue;

   
 

*

our organization's growth;

   
 

*

adequacy of our financial resources;

   
 

*

development of new products and markets;

   
 

*

competitive pressures;

   
 

*

changing economic conditions;

   
 

*

expectations regarding competition from other companies; and

   
 

*

our ability to manufacture and distribute our products.


       Although we believe that any forward-looking statements we make in this prospectus are reasonable, because forward-looking statements involve future risks and uncertainties, there are factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied.  For example, a few of the uncertainties that could affect the accuracy of forward-looking statements, besides the specific factors identified above in the Risk Factors section of this prospectus, include:


 

*

changes in general economic and business conditions affecting the craft/microbrew industries;

   
 

*

developments that make our beers less competitive;

   
 

*

changes in our business strategies;

   
 

*

the level of demand for our products; and


       In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements made in this prospectus, particularly in view of our early stage of operations, the inclusion of this information



25



should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.


       The safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to forward looking statements contained in this prospectus are not available and do not apply to us.

Management's Discussion And Analysis Or Plan Of Operation

Plan of Operations

Golden West Brewing Company, Inc. (the "Company" or "Golden West") was formed in December 2003 to acquire substantially all of the business assets of Butte Creek Brewing Company, LLC ("Butte Creek" or "Butte"). We are currently a holding company for our wholly-owned subsidiary Golden West Brewing Company, a California corporation, which acquired the assets and certain liabilities of Butte Creek on August 31, 2005. Butte Creek has been operating as a craft brewery in Chico, California since 1996. It specializes in brewing certified organic craft beers. Upon completion of the proposed initial public offering, we hope to increase our production, increase sales and reduce our operating losses, although there is no assurance that we can achieve these goals.  In 2005, we doubled our production capacity from 4,000 barrels per year to approximately 8,000 barrels per year with the acquisition of two 80 barrel fermentation tanks and one 80 barrel conditioning or "brite" tank.  We still face operational challenges as our sales and production levels increase.  The following are the key issues and challenges facing the Company:


 

*

Sales.  We believe that our minimum level of sales for our operating subsidiary, Butte Creek, to break-even is $100,000 per month.  Butte Creek has only achieved this level of sales during a month once in its history.  It is critical for us to improve our sales so that we can achieve at least a break-even operating level.  There is no assurance that we will be able to achieve this level of sales, or if we achieve it, that we will be able to maintain it.  Our business plan is to (a) introduce new products (b) add new sales territories and (c) increase our penetration in existing territories.

 

*

Increase Gross Profit Margin.  In addition, our gross profit margin must be increased to at least 35% of sales.  Our plan is to take advantage of our increased production capacity and increase our production which we believe will lower our average cost per barrel of beer produced. Also, we are trying to improve our product mix with higher margin products. Finally, we raised our prices in early 2006 and believe they will need to be raised again in January 2007.  There is no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our plan to increase our gross profit margin.

 

*

Control Selling, General & Administrative Expenses.  In addition to raising sales, we must control our expenditures to achieve a break-even operating level.  We have taken steps to reduce our monthly operating expenses by reducing our employee head-count.  

 

*

Working Capital Shortage.  Our history of working capital deficiencies make it difficult to build finished inventory.  We owe delinquent taxes to several Federal and State agencies.  In addition, we have increased our production capacity and launched new products that will require increased levels of inventory.

 

*

Lack of Marketing Materials.  We have very limited marketing budgets and are not competitive with other breweries of our size in the amount and quality of marketing materials needed to support our distribution network.



28





 

*

Continued Operating Losses.  Our history of operating losses makes it difficult to raise capital for our working capital needs.

 

*

Lack of Inventory Controls.  We need to improve our control and management of our finished inventory to reduce the amount of shrinkage we have experienced due, we believe, to unsupervised employees.  We do not believe our lack of inventory control has materially impacted our business.  We conduct physical inventories on a monthly basis and recently upgraded our accounting software to improve our inventory control.  If these measures do not provide improved inventory controls, we would expect our margins to erode and our sales to decline.


          Both Golden West and Butte Creek have sustained losses from operations.  Golden West has a working capital deficit which raise substantial doubts about their ability to continue as a going concern. Our audited financial statements have received going concern qualifications from our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

          The following discussion and analysis is as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 and should be read in conjunction with the Golden West Brewing Company, Inc. financial statements and Notes thereto.  We were a development stage entity prior to our acquisition of Butte Creek on August 31, 2005.


Possible Section 5 Violation

         It is possible that it may be determined that we violated Section 5 of the Securities Act.  Section 5 of the Securities Act prohibits the use of any means or instruments of transportation or communication in interstate commerce or of the mails to sell a security unless a registration statement is in effect as to such security.  Section 5(c) of the Securities Act prohibits the use of any means or instruments of transportation or communication in interstate commerce or of the mails to offer to sell or offer to buy a security unless a registration statement has been filed as to such security.


         The transaction that may have caused such a violation of Section 5 is as follows:  In December, 2004, we made the initial filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.  In June 2005, an unaffiliated third-party, Bob Vogt, loaned us the sum of $10,000.  The loan was unsecured and undocumented.  It was our intention to repay the loan in a short period of time; however, we were unable to do so due to our lack of working capital.  In December 2005, in an effort to improve our balance sheet, we offered Mr. Vogt an opportunity to convert his $10,000 loan into shares of our common stock.  In December 2005, we effected the conversion of Mr. Vogt's loan into shares of our common stock in a transaction in which we relied upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act contained in Section 4(2), which exempts transactions not involving a public offering.


         Under the principals of integration, two or more offerings of securities may be integrated and deemed to be one offering under certain circumstances.  Factors considered in determining whether offers and sales of securities should be integrated are:  


*

Whether the sales are part of a single plan of financing;

*

Whether the sales involve the issuance of the same class of securities;

*

Whether the sales have been made at or about the same time;



29





*

Whether the same type of consideration is being received; and,

*

Whether the sales were made for the same general purpose.


         If it were to be determined that the conversion of Mr. Vogt's note payable into shares of common stock is integrated with the offering covered by the registration statement and this prospectus, then we could not rely upon the exemption contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the Vogt conversion, and as a result, it may be determined that the conversion of the Vogt loan into shares of common stock constituted a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act.  If this were to occur, we would become subject to remedial actions, which would include the payment of disgorgement, pre-judgment interest and civil or criminal penalties pursuant to Sections 12(a)(1), 8A and 24 of the Securities Act.  We are not aware of any pending claims for sanctions against us based upon a Section 5 violation and we intend to vigorously defend any such claim should it arise.  However, in our financial statements, we have classified the advance payable to Mr. Vogt as subject to rescission.  A rescission offer would require that we file a registration statement covering the offer and, once the registration statement has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, redeeming the shares of common stock and repaying the loan to Mr. Vogt.  In addition, we could face possible civil penalties in an undetermined amount.  This could have a significant impact on our working capital and impair our ability to continue as a going concern.


         Furthermore, any claim for rescission would make it difficult for us to raise additional debt or equity financing needed to run our business, and would not be viewed favorably by analysts or investors.


Critical Accounting Policies And Estimates

          In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results. We constantly re-evaluate these significant factors and make adjustments where facts and circumstances dictate.

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results could differ from those estimates. Our financial statements are based upon a number of significant estimates, the allowance for doubtful accounts, obsolescence of inventories and the estimated useful lives selected for property and equipment. Due to the uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates for these items could be further revised in the near term and such revisions could be material.

Overview - Factors Affecting Results of Operations

          Sales in the craft beer industry generally reflect a degree of seasonality, with the first and fourth quarters historically being the slowest and the rest of the year typically demonstrating stronger sales. We have historically operated with little or no backlog and, therefore, our ability to predict sales for future periods is limited.

          Our sales are affected by several factors, including consumer demand, price discounting and competitive considerations. We compete in the craft brewing market as well as in the much larger specialty beer market, which encompasses producers of import beers, major national brewers that produce fuller-flavored products, and large spirit companies and national brewers that produce flavored alcohol beverages. Beyond the beer market, craft brewers also face competition from producers of wines and spirits. The craft beer segment is highly competitive due to the proliferation of small craft brewers, including contract brewers, and the large number of products offered by such brewers. Imported products from foreign brewers have enjoyed resurgence in demand since the mid-1990s. Certain national domestic brewers have also sought to appeal to this growing demand for craft beers by producing their own fuller-flavored products. In 2001 and 2002, the specialty segment saw the introduction of flavored alcohol beverages, the consumers of which, industry sources generally believe, correlate closely with the consumers of the import and craft beer products. While sales of flavored alcohol beverages were initially very strong, these growth rates slowed in 2003 and 2004. The wine and spirits market has experienced a surge in the past several years, attributable to competitive pricing, increased merchandising, and increased consumer interest in spirits. Because the number of participants and number of different products offered in this segment have increased significantly in the past ten years, the competition for bottled product placements and especially for draft beer placements has intensified.

Pro Forma:  For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2006, Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2005.

The following discussion gives retroactive effect to our acquisition of Butte Creek to the beginning of the periods shown.


SALES.  Net sales for the first three months of 2006 increased $30,102 or 19.45% from $154,778 to $184,880.  The increase in net sales was the result of increased market penetration of our line of certified organic beers in bottles and contract brewing revenues.  Case Beer sales for the period increased 21.6%.  However, Draft Beer sales actually declined 26.2% during the period.  The decrease in draft sales is attributed to increased competitive pressures in this sector of the industry.  There are fewer opportunities for draft accounts and most of them are dominated by the national and regional brewing powerhouses.  Contract brewing revenues were $6,616 for the period compared to $0.00 in the prior year period.


COST OF SALES.  Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2006 were $126,611 or 68.5% of net sales as compared to $104,158 or 67.3% of net sales for the first three months of 2005.  The four biggest components in our cost of sales are (a) raw materials (b) packaging materials, (c) direct labor and (d) utilities.  While raw material costs and packaging material costs decreased as a percentage of net sales by 0.5% and 1.7% respectively, direct labor costs and utilities were up 1.6% and 1.7% respectively.  The increases in direct labor and utilities were due to accounting procedural changes, whereby a larger portion of overhead expenses were applied to cost of sales.  We expect continued pressure on our Cost of Sales as raw materials and packaging materials continue to increase in price.  We have raised our prices to certain accounts in 2006 and should be able to raise prices enough to off-set our increases in costs.


GROSS PROFIT.  As a result of the 19.5% increase net sales and 21.5% increase in cost of sales, gross profit for the first three months of 2006 increased only $7,649 or 15.1% for the period to $58,269 or 31.5% of net sales from $50,621 or 32.7% of net sales for the first three months of 2005.



35




OPERATING EXPENSES.  Total operating expenses increased $60,739 or 51.1% to $179,862 for the first three months of 2006 compared to $119,123 for the same period in 2005.  Our operating expenses include our corporate overhead at Golden West Brewing.

OPERATING LOSS.  The operating loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 increased $53,091 or 77.5% to $121,593 compared to an operating loss of $68,502 for the three month period ended March 31, 2005.  The increase in the operating loss is directly related to the significant increase in operating expenses at a faster rate than our sales.


OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE.  Total other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $12,832 compared to total other expense of $5,899 for the prior period, an increase of $6,933 or 118%.  The increase was primarily a result of a increased interest expense as a result of our acquisition of Butte Creek.


NET LOSS.  Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $134,425 compared to a net loss of $74,401 for the same period in 2005, an increase in net loss of $60,024, or 80.6%.  The increase in net loss is a result of our decreasing gross profit margin, increasing operating expenses at a faster rate than our sales.


Pro Forma Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2004

SALES Net sales for the fiscal year 2005 increased $154,849 or 23.3% to $819,391 compared to $664,542 in net sales for the fiscal year 2004. The increase in net sales was a result of continued strength of our core line of organic ales and the launch of our latest organic ale, Butte Creek Certified Organic Pilsner in the 3rd quarter of 2005, and direct sales efforts in the region surrounding our brewery facility in Chico, California.


COST OF SALES Cost of sales for the fiscal year 2005 were $573,740 or 70% of net sales as compared to $441,171 or 66% of net sales in fiscal year 2004.  Rising prices of ingredients and packaging materials contributed to the increase in cost of sales.



36




GROSS PROFIT As a result of the higher net sales, gross profit for fiscal year 2005 increased 9.9% to $245,651 or 30% of net sales from $223,371 or 34% of net sales in fiscal year 2004.


OPERATING EXPENSES Total operating expenses increased $98,257 or 22% to $540,914 in fiscal year 2005 compared to $442,657 in fiscal year 2004.  The overall increase was the result of increased operations in fiscal 2005, including payroll, insurance and marketing, as compared to fiscal 2004.  


OPERATING LOSS The operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $295,263, compared to an operating loss of $219,286 for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase in net loss of $75,977, or 34.6%.   


OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE.  Total other expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $43,615, compared to total other expense of $29,167 for the prior year, an increase of $14,448 or 49.5%.  This change was due to a one-time fine of $13,000 incurred in 2005.


NET LOSS Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $338,878 compared to a net loss of $248,453 in 2004, an increase in net loss of $90,425, or 36.4% higher. This unfavorable increase in net loss was the result of higher operating expenses in 2005 as the Company increased its operating costs while its gross profit as a percentage of sales declined.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

          We have required capital principally for the purchase of Butte Creek and the funding of operating losses and working capital. To date, we have financed our capital requirements through the sale of equity and short and long-term borrowings. We expect to meet our future financing needs and working capital and capital expenditure requirements through cash on hand, borrowings and offerings of debt or equity securities, although there can be no assurance that our future financing efforts will be successful beyond this offering. The terms of future financings could be highly dilutive to investors in this offering.


          The minimum net proceeds of our pending self-underwritten public offering should satisfy our working capital requirements for approximately three months; if the maximum offering is sold, the proceeds should be sufficient to satisfy our working capital needs for nine months. We have no commitments, understandings or arrangements for any additional working capital. If this offering is not successful, or if we are unable to secure additional financing to cover our operating losses until break-even operations can be achieved, we may not be able to continue as a going concern.


          We had no cash and cash equivalents and a negative working capital of $377,838 at March 31, 2006.  Our long-term debt was $421,320 at March 31, 2006.  We do not have sufficient cash on hand or available credit facilities to continue operations for more than 30 days and are dependent upon the completion of this offering to provide adequate working capital to continue operations. In the interim, we have raised capital through the sales of unregistered securities and advances and/or loans from its officers and directors to acquire Butte Creek, and fund its operations after its acquisition.   There are no assurances that we will be able to secure additional capital to maintain the operations of Butte Creek until the proposed initial public offering is completed.


          During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company's capital expenditures totaled $6,551.

Available Credit

         The Company assumed a $25,000 balance on a credit card issued by Wells Fargo Bank, with interest at the rate of 16.25%. The card is uncollateralized and guaranteed by Tom Atmore, Butte Creek's Managing Member and former general manager. The outstanding balance as of March 31, 2006 was $24,238.


       The Company assumed a $15,400 line of credit on a Butte Creek credit card with MBNA with interest at the rate of 29.98%. The debt on the credit card is uncollateralized but guaranteed by Tom Atmore, Butte Creek's managing member and our former general manager. The outstanding balance as of March 31, 2006 was $11,233.


Notes Payable

         On November 1, 2004, J. Andrew Moorer, a Director of the Company, made an uncollateralized advance of $8,750.  This advance started to accrue interest at 8% on January 1, 2006.   Between March and September 2005, the Company borrowed a total of $125,000 from three lenders: $50,000 in July 2005 from Power Curve, Inc. (a company controlled by John Power); $50,000 in May 2005 from Lone Oak Vineyards, Inc. (a company controlled by Brian Power); and $25,000 in March 2005 from Tiffany Grace, an unaffiliated party.   The loans were used to payoff Butte Creek's loans to Tri County Economic Development Corporation, purchase additional equipment and provide working capital. The Tiffany Grace note, which was executed on September 9, 2005 accrues interest at the rate of 9% per annum, is payable in monthly payments of principal and interest based upon a five year amortization, and is due in full March 2008.   As of December 31, 2005, the Tiffany Grace note had current maturities of $4,336 and a long-term maturity of $18,638.  The Power Curve and Lone Oak notes were executed in September, 2005, accrue interest at the rate of 9% per annum, and are payable in full in 2008. The loans are collateralized by a security interest covering all of our tangible and intangible assets.  As of March 31, 2006, the Power Curve and Lone Oak notes had accrued interest of $2,059 and long-term maturities of $100,000.


         On December 30, 2005, John Power and Power Curve, Inc. converted $215,000 and $90,000, respectively, in outstanding advances into collateralized long-term debt. The notes bear interest at 9% and mature December 31, 2008 and are collateralized by a security interest covering all of our tangible and intangible assets but are junior to the security interest granted to Power Curve, Inc. ($50,000), Lone Oak Vineyards, Inc. ($50,000) and Tiffany Grace ($25,000) in September 2005 described above.  As of March 31, 2006, these notes had accrued interest of $4,838 and $2,025 respectively and long-term maturities of $215,000 and $90,000 respectively.


         As part of our acquisition of Butte Creek, the Company assumed an $8,136 note payable to Bruce Detweiler, a member of Butte Creek, and a $10,098 note payable to Richard Atmore, Jr., a member of Butte Creek and the brother of Tom Atmore, a managing member of Butte Creek


         The Company has pledged substantially all of our assets to secure some of the notes. Should the Company default in the payment of these secured notes, the collateral could be subject to forfeiture.


         In the three months ended March 31.2006, John Power and Power Curve, Inc. have made advances to the Company of $57,800 and $52,150 respectively. The advances are uncollateralized and due on demand. Subsequent to March 31, 2006, John Power and Power Curve, Inc., have made advances to the Company of $29,900 and $37,360 respectively.  The advances are unsecured and due on demand.

Delinquent Taxes & Rent

          Delinquent Taxes & Rent


          At March 31, 2006 the Company had outstanding payroll tax liabilities of $50,029. Of these amounts $41,009 are considered delinquent.


          California Redemption Value (CRV) is a tax collected on all package sales to retailers, processed through the California Department of Conservation and refunded through the State's recycling program. The United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms ("BATF"), now the TTB, and various state agencies collect excise taxes often referred to as "alcohol taxes" with the amount based on the volume of beer sold. At March 31, 2006, the Company had alcohol related taxes payable to federal and state taxing authorities of $67,904.  Of these amounts, $62,500 is considered delinquent. The detail of those taxes payable is as follows:

         Most of these delinquent payables have been assumed by the Company in connection with our acquisition of Butte Creek as the continuation of regulatory compliance is material to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Continued operations could be severely impaired should the TTB or any other governmental agency seek to collect any of the delinquent payables before we are able to pay them.


          At March 31, 2006 the Company had outstanding rent obligations on our operating facility of $17,950. We have entered into a verbal forbearance agreement with the landlord whereby the landlord will not proceed with collection actions to enforce its rights under the lease as long as the Company pays current rent and 8% interest on the outstanding rent obligation timely.


Overview of Product Distribution

          Our products are available for sale directly to consumers in draft and bottles at restaurants, bars and liquor stores, as well as in bottles at supermarkets, warehouse clubs and convenience stores. Like substantially all craft brewers, our products are delivered to these retail outlets through a network of local distributors whose principal business is the distribution of beer and, in some cases, other alcoholic beverages, and who traditionally have local distribution relationships with one or more national beer brand.


          Sales in the craft beer industry generally reflect a degree of seasonality, with the first and fourth quarters historically being the slowest and the rest of the year typically demonstrating stronger sales. We have historically operated with little or no backlog and, therefore, our ability to predict sales for future periods is limited.

Certain Considerations: Issues and Uncertainties


          We do not provide forecasts of future financial performance or sales volume, although this prospectus contains certain other types of forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Those risks and uncertainties are discussed more fully in the section of this prospectus titled "Risk Factors." While we are optimistic about our long-term prospects, the following issues and uncertainties, among others, should be considered in evaluating its business prospects and any forward-looking statements.


          In light of uncertain contingencies relating to our acquisition of Butte Creek, we anticipate that a material impairment charge is reasonably likely to occur in the future, resulting in a material impact on our financial statements and results of operations.  Since the acquisition has been consummated, we will be required to determine if a valuation allowance with respect to our investment in Butte Creek.  Based upon the financial history of Butte Creek, it appears to us that a valuation allowance is reasonably likely.  


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


          There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2005, 2004 and 2003, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows.

Business


Background and Overview


       Golden West Brewing Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was formed and organized on December 23, 2003, for the purpose of acquiring the business and assets of Butte Creek Brewing Company, LLC, a California limited liability company.  We completed the acquisition of Butte Creek on August 31, 2005.  To acquire Butte Creek, we formed and organized a company on November 19, 2003 under the name Golden West Brewing Company, a California corporation.  That company is now our wholly-owned subsidiary doing business as Butte Creek Brewing Company.


       Butte Creek Brewing Company, LLC was formed on October 4, 1995 and since that time has been operating a microbrewery in Chico, California.  Butte Creek specializes in brewing certified organic craft beers, meaning that at least 95% of the final product has been derived from organic ingredients.  


       Effective October 8, 2004, we executed a definitive Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire Butte Creek.  Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, on August 31, 2005, having obtained all necessary regulatory approvals, we completed the purchase of substantially all of the business assets of Butte Creek.  In consideration of the Butte Creek assets, we paid:


 

*

the sum of $350,000 in cash all of which has already been advanced;

   
 

*

an additional $217,400 in advances through August 31, 2005 were capitalized as part of the purchase price;

   
 

*

the assumption of designated in trade and accounts payable in the approximate amount of  $366,000; and

   
 

*

200,000 shares of our common stock.  Those shares were issued pursuant to a Subscription Agreement executed by Butte Creek in which it makes representations to the effect that it acquired the shares for investment purposes and not with the view to subsequent resale or redistribution.  The shares are restricted as to resale and issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.  The shares may not be distributed to the members of Butte Creek unless pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, the existence of which must be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Company.  


        In anticipation that he would be participating as a founder and promoter of Golden West in connection with its acquisition of Butte Creek, prior to his formation and organization of Golden West, John C. Power caused to be filed an application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and Application of Intent to Use for the trademark "Mount Shasta Ale" and purchased the domain name www.ales.com.  In addition, Mr. Power made advances to Butte Creek in the amount of $59,500 through an entity controlled by him, Nova Redwood LLC.  The domain name of www.ales.com was acquired by another company controlled by Mr. Power, Alta California Broadcasting, Inc., and the intent to use trademark application was submitted in the name of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alta California, Four Rivers Broadcasting, Inc.  In October 2004, those assets



41



were then used by Alta California Broadcasting to redeem some of its outstanding equity interests from certain investors, on the condition that those investors assign those assets to Golden West in consideration of an equity investment in Golden West.  


The U.S. Beer Industry


       According to publications of the Association of Brewers (Beertown, December, 2005), in 2004 the total beer sales in the United States consisted of approximately 206 million barrels (each barrel consisting of 31 U.S. gallons).  Of those total sales approximately 24 million barrels, or 11.6%, consisted of sales of imports in the United States.  Of the remaining 180 million barrels, more than 85% of sales were dominated by the four largest brewing companies:


 

Anheuser Busch

51%

 

Coors

11%

 

Miller Brewing Company

19%

 

Pabst

4%


Craft brewers represented the remaining approximate 3.2% of total U.S. sales, or 6.59 million barrels of craft beer.


Beer Styles

 

       While the beers from the major American brewers are brewed to high quality standards, they are relatively neutral in flavor. They are brewed with less hops and malt than traditional European or craft-brewed beers, creating a less bitter, lighter bodied flavor. In addition, these beers are usually brewed with a high percentage of rice, corn or corn syrup, which further dilutes the flavor and body of the beers. Traditional lager beers use 100% malted barley in the mash (with the exception of specialty wheat beers), which ensures a robust, full-bodied character. The major U.S. brewers have been successful in creating products that appeal to a wide consumer base and have spent heavily to advertise and promote their products. As a result, they have achieved a dominant position in the market for their mass-produced beers.  The older regional brewers traditionally produced beers similar in style to the products of major breweries, but several have benefited from the recent boom in specialty, craft-brewed beers as both contract producers and marketers of their own products. Imported beers have long been viewed by the beer-drinking public as being more flavorful and "authentic" than the standard American beers.  Although this has not always been the case, the high price and foreign origin of the imported beers created a niche category of "specialty" beers. In recent years, craft-brewed beers have further expanded the "specialty" beer market, and have increased in sales and visibility.

 

       The vast majority of existing craft/microbrewed products in the U.S. are ales. According to a survey published in THE NEW BREWER published by the Brewers Association at www.beertown.org, the five most popular beer styles produced in brewpubs are all ales, and among the 130 responding craft/microbrewers, only the fourth most popular style (European Pilsner) is a lager. The cost of building and operating a lager brewery is substantially greater than that for an ale brewery.



42




       The following terms are helpful in understanding our business and industry:

 

              Craft Brewing:  Beers produced by microbreweries, regional specialty breweries, brewpubs and contract brewers. The common appeal of these beers is a more robust flavor than the standard domestic beers, and an image based on traditional, European beer styles.

 

              Microbrewery:  Originally used to refer to a small brewery producing less than 10,000 barrels a year, which packages and distributes its beers for sale off site. The cut-off volume has since been increased to 15,000 barrels a year.  The new breweries that were founded in the late 1970s and early 1980s were the first to be called microbreweries.

 

              Regional Specialty Brewery: A term used to describe those breweries which were founded as microbreweries, but have since outgrown the category, having a capacity to brew between 15,000 and 2,000,000 barrels per year. A new category was needed to distinguish these breweries from the older, established regional breweries. Examples of regional specialty breweries are: Sierra Nevada (Chico, California), Anchor Brewing (San Francisco, California), Rockies Brewing (Boulder, Colorado) and Abita Brewing (Abita Springs, Louisiana).

 

              Brewpub: A brewery that sells its beers exclusively or primarily at its own bar or restaurant. Since the market is restricted to one outlet, brewpubs tend to be quite small (typically in the 500 to 2,000 barrel range). Examples of brewpubs are Zip City (New York, New York), Crescent City Brewhouse (New Orleans, Louisiana), Wynkoop (Denver, Colorado) and Commonwealth (Boston, Massachusetts).

 

              Contract Brewer: A company that does not have its own brewery but rather markets beer produced "under contract" by an existing (usually regional) brewery. Examples of contract brewers are Boston Beer Company (Samuel Adams brand beers), Pete's Brewing Company and Neuweiler.

 

              Hard Cider: A fermented apple cider with an alcohol content between 7 and 14 percent.

 

              Draft Cider: A fermented apple cider with an alcohol content of less than 7 percent.

 

Development of Craft-Brewing Industry

 

       Fritz Maytag bought and revived the failing Anchor Brewery in San Francisco in 1965 and is considered the grandfather of the microbrewing movement. However, it wasn't until the late 1970s and early 1980s that the first new microbreweries opened in the U.S., such as New Albion, Redhook, Yakima Brewing & Malting and Sierra Nevada on the West Coast and Newman Brewing Co. (Albany, New York) on the East Coast. By 1983, there were 11 operating microbreweries in the U.S., which were defined as breweries producing less than 10,000 barrels per year (although all were much smaller in 1983). At least one of these (Buffalo Bill's Brewery, Hayward, California) was a brewpub. In the early to mid 1980s, the first contract brewers appeared.

 

       What all of the craft-brewed beers have in common is an appeal based on traditional, highly flavored European beer styles. They have benefited from their contrast with the products of the major brewers, which are much lighter in body and flavor. We believe they also were helped by an increasing concern by consumers about how alcoholic beverages fit into a healthy, active,



43



contemporary lifestyle. Like fine wines, we believe that consumers view craft-brewed beers as beverages of moderation.


Craft Beer Industry Segment


       Craft beers are characterized by their full-flavor and are usually produced along traditional European brewing styles.  The majority of craft beers are ales, although some are malt lagers.  Wheat beers and fruit flavoured ales and lagers have enjoyed recent popularity among craft beer consumers.


       The craft beer category consists of:


 

*

Contract brews - any style brew produced by one brewer for sale under the label of someone else who does not have a brewery or whose brewery does not have sufficient capacity.

   
 

*

Regional craft brews - "hand-crafted" brews, primarily ales, sold under the label of the brewery that produced it.

   
 

*

Microbrews - "hand-crafted" brews, primarily ales, sold under the label of the brewery that produced it, if the capacity of the brewery does not exceed 15,000 bbl. per year.

   
 

*

Large brewer craft-style brews - a brand brewed by a national brewer which may only imitate the style of a craft beer.  These craft-style brews are often sold under the label of a brewery that does not exist or the label of a brewpub with no bottling capacity.  The term "phantom brewery" is sometimes used to describe such brands.

   
 

*

Brewpub brews - "hand-crafted" brews produced for sale and consumption at the brewery, which is normally connected with a restaurant/saloon.  Brewpub brews are not normally sold for off-site consumption in significant quantities.


       In 2004, U.S. craft beer industry annual retail sales reached 6.59 million barrels, having a total retail value of $3.5 billion.  That 2004 production volume was divided into the following categories:

Business Strategy


       Our business objective is to become recognized as the premier organic craft brewer in the United States.  It is our objective to produce the finest quality organic craft beers and to market them strategically in niche markets to capitalize on our dedication to the use of organic ingredients, which we consider to be our principal differentiator and competitive advantage.


       Our business strategy includes the following key objectives:


 

*

Further develop our existing facility and position as a leading organic ale producer;

 

*

Develop new brands utilizing the existing facility;

 

*

Produce on a contract basis for other craft brewers, where capacity permits; and

 

*

Expand regional self-distribution and minimize reliance upon local wholesale distributors.

 

*

Expand our production capacity to at least 8,000 bbl per year.


Products


       Butte Creek produces a variety of distinctive craft beers ranging in color from light to dark.  Four of our beers are certified organic:  Organic Ale, Organic Pilsner, Organic Porter and Organic India Pale Ale.  In making these three products, we adhere strictly to the National Organic Program of the United States Department of Agriculture pursuant to which our beers are certified as organic by independent accredited certifiers.  All of our beer is made from four traditional ingredients:  water, hops, yeast and malted barley.  Each beer exhibits unique properties of color, richness, bitterness and aroma, creating a special signature for each beer.  In order to maintain full flavor, our beer is not pasteurized or homogenized.  We never use adjuncts in substitute for all grain.  


       We currently produce the following principal brands, each with its own distinctive combination of flavor, color and clarity:


*

Organic Ale

An amber ale made with certified organic hops and barley, brewers yeast and water.

*

Organic Porter

A porter with a full bodied malty flavor balanced with a crisp hop bitterness.

*

45






For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 and the three month period ended March 31, 2006, on a pro-forma basis, sales of Organic Ale, Porter, India Pale Ale and Pilsner represented 61.3%, 72.6% and 78.8% of our total sales, respectively, excluding contract brewed organic beer.  During 2004, 78.8% of sales were cases, 17.5% were kegs and 4.3% contract brewed, compared to sales during 2005 being comprised of 81.5% cases, 12.1% kegs and 7.6% contract brewed.  For the three months ended March 31, 2006, 87.9 % of sales were cases, 8.7 % were kegs and 3.4 % were contract brewed.


       In addition to our current craft brews, we are constantly developing new products in order to be responsive to changing customer tastes.  We believe that our continued success will be affected by our ability to be innovative and attentive to consumer desires while maintaining consistently high product quality.


Brewing Operations


The Brewing Process


        Beer is produced from four main ingredients: malt, hops, yeast and water. Malt, the main ingredient of beer, is produced when barley is moistened, allowed to germinate and then dried. The malted barley is then crushed and mixed with hot water and strained, producing a clear amber liquid called "wort". Wort is boiled in the brew kettle and hops are added which add bitterness and variety to the brew. The mixture is then strained and placed in a fermentation vessel where yeast is added and the beer is allowed to ferment. During fermentation, yeast metabolizes the sugars in the wort and produces alcohol and carbon dioxide.


       Upon completion of fermentation, the beer is then transferred to aging tanks where the flavor is developed and matured. The brewing process, from the conversion of raw materials to the serving of beer, is typically completed in 14 to 28 days, depending on the type of beer being brewed. The production schedule for all of our ale products requires a fourteen (14) day cycle. Our lager products requires a twenty-eight (28) day cycle, from brewing through filtration and packaging.  The production cycle includes the following steps:


       *       Day 1.  Mashing. Weighed amounts of milled, malted barley, a cereal grain that provides the body and color to the beer, are mixed and steeped with hot water in a Mash Tun. This serves to extract fermentable and non-fermentable sugars, thus creating a mash. At the end of the mashing process, the sweet, fermentable liquid from the mash, called wort, is run off through screened plates and then transferred into the brew kettle. While the wort is running off, the grain is sprayed with hot water again, a process called "sparing". (This is a process similar to making coffee.)


                Once the wort run off is completed, the spent grains are given to local farmers for cattle feed or to local mushroom growers.


       *       Day 1.  Brewing. When the sweet liquid wort transfer is completed, we start the boil, then add fresh hops that provide bitterness and aroma, thus creating the balance and flavor of our beer.


       *       Day 1.  Clarification. After approximately an hour and one half of boiling, the wort and the spent hops are transferred into a whirlpool. A centrifugal force is created inside the vessel during whirlpooling. This force separates the malt proteins and the spent hops from the wort.



46




       *       Day 1.  Cooling. The wort is pumped from the whirlpool through a heat exchanger which rapidly cools the wort. The cool wort is transferred into a fermenter.


       *       Day 1.  Inoculation. Pure culture lager yeast or ale yeast is added to the wort in the fermenter and the tank is closed up.


       *       Days 2-7.  Fermentation. Within three to five days, the yeast has metabolized and utilized the sugars from the wort, creating alcohol and carbon dioxide. Our ales are made with a top fermenting ale strain that actually floats to the top of the fermenter. Our lagers are made with a bottom fermenting lager strain that settles during fermentation.


                When the yeast completely settles it is collected from the tank and used in the next lager or ale brew cycle.


       *       Days 5-27.  Cooling and Conditioning. At the end of the fermentation cycle, our beer is cooled from its fermentation temperature (between 65-70-F for ales and 58-55-F for lagers) to 32- Fahrenheit. Beer flavors mature during this stage. Our beer is then stored for seven to fourteen days. Isinglass finings are added to aid in the clarification process.


       *       Day 14.  Filtration for Ales. While under pressure, the beer is transferred through cellulose sheets in a Filter Press in order to remove protein haze and yeast while stabilizing and clarifying the beer. The beer is transferred from the Filter Press into a Serving Tank which is counter pressured, for service directly to draft taps at each bar.


       *       Day 28.  Filtration for Pilsners. Our pilsner beer remains in the Cellar Tank for an additional fourteen days of fermentation. It is then processed in the same manner as our ale.


Our Brewing Facility


       Our Chico, California brewery currently produces approximately 4,500 barrels of craft beer per year.   After the recent purchase of two additional fermentation tanks, our current capacity is 8,000 barrels a year


       We package our craft beers in bottles and kegs which are clearly marked with freshness dates.  This is to ensure that our products are consumed at the height of their flavor.  Bottled products utilize the latest technology in bottle crowns that prevent oxygen from causing deterioration of the beer's fresh taste.  Our beer is naturally carbonated and pasteurized to ensure the customers enjoy the full fresh flavour.  The shelf life of our bottled beer is 120 days and the shelf life of our keg beer is 90 days.


Ingredients and Raw Materials


       In order to be certified as organic under the National Organic Program of the USDA, our craft beers must have no more than 5% non-organic ingredients in the finished product.  We use only the finest, all natural and certified organic ingredients available to brew our products whenever possible.  




47



       There are many different varieties of hops which are used in the production of beers.  The selection of particular varieties of hops influences the bitterness and aroma of the finished product.  The selection of hops in any particular recipe contributes to the final signature of the microbrew.  


        Not all hops are available organically-grown.  In fact, in the United States, only one type of hops is organically grown; and all other organically-grown hops must be purchased from international sources, primarily New Zealand.  


        For microbrews whose recipes call for hops that are not available organically, those products can still be manufactured and marketed as "organic," since hops comprise less than 5% of the finished product.  Nevertheless, there is intense competition for organically-grown hops, and quantities are limited.  


        Our Organic Ale is the only product that is 100% organic, including organic hops.  Our Organic India Pale Ale and Organic Porter use non-organic hops but are nevertheless marketed as organic microbrews.  Our principal competitors in the organic microbrew market:  Wolavers and Eel River Brewing Company, also use non-organic hops.  Our principal hops suppliers are Hopunion, Fresh Hops and Certified Foods.  We have recently secured an agreement to purchase fixed quantities of organic hops from New Zealand Hops Ltd. The agreements commit us to purchase and New Zealand Hops, Ltd. to sell to us defined quantities of organic hops during 2006 (726 pounds) and 2007 (3,135 pounds).  We believe that this arrangement will satisfy all of our organic hops requirements for the next two years. However, we do not have any other contracts or agreements with any of our hops suppliers for ongoing or future deliveries.


       We currently obtain our malted barley (grain) from two sources:  Breiss supplies our organic barley and Great Western Malting our non-organic barley.  We do not have any supply contracts with any of our vendors to meet our grain or hop requirements.  As a result, any interruption in our supply of grain or hops could result in a curtailment of our production and loss sales.  


       We have multiple competitive sources for packing materials, such as bottles, labels, six-pack carriers, crowns and shipping cases, as well as kegs.  However, California Glass Company of Oakland, CA is currently the only company offering reasonable bottle pricing for Butte Creek's current production level.  Purchases of bottles, six-pack carriers and case boxes from California Glass Company amount to over 40% of the total purchases from all unaffiliated vendors.  We have no affiliated vendors.  


Sales and Distribution


       We market and sell our craft beers through a combination of company marketing personnel and wholesale distributors.  We currently distribute our products in a total of 19 states including our core market of California which is serviced through both direct sales and distributors.  We plan to expand distribution into additional states including  New York and Texas.  During 2004 and 2005 and the three months ended March 31, 2006, our direct sales in Northern California accounted for 29.3%, 30.8%  and 29.2% of total sales, respectively.


       In each state where our beer is distributed, we must satisfy the state's regulatory requirements for beer sales.  Those requirements generally consist of completing an application and paying a distribution fee.  Some states also impose product quality standards which must be met as a condition



48



to distribution.  We have not experienced any difficulties in obtaining approvals to distribute in states where we have sought that approval.

 

       Wholesale distributors sell our products to supermarkets, warehouse stores, liquor stores, taverns and bars, restaurants and convenience stores.  Most of our brands are also available on draft' and these are delivered directly to retail outlets.  Our independent distributors also distribute a variety of other alcoholic beverages, including other craft beers, import beers and national beer brands.  We rely on our distributors not only to provide product sales and deliveries but also to maintain retail shelf space and to oversee timely rotation of inventory.  Favorable consumer demand for microbrewed products and higher profit margins are the two primary factors that contribute to strong interest from distributors in handling our regional microbrewed products.  Our success is dependent upon our ability to maintain and develop our third party distributor, bar and restaurant accounts.


        We have written distribution agreements with all of our wholesale distributors; however, the agreements are all terminable upon 30 days’ written notice and provide no reliable assurance of future performance.  


       Sales are distributed widely over our customer base with only two large customers comprising a significant portion of sales.  For the years ending December 31, 2004 and 2005 and three months ended March 31, 2006, Mountain People's Warehouse (MPW) was responsible for 21.6%, 19.9% and 22.3% of Butte Creek's sales, respectively.  For the same periods, Ray's is the Place, Inc. was responsible for 11%, 5.7% and 1.8% of sales, respectively.

       Our marketing efforts are focused on bars, restaurants, grocery stores and retailers of premium beer products in order to obtain shelf and tap space.  This is accomplished by intensive one-on-one contact to familiarize our customers thoroughly with our products and our commitment to service.  The microbrewers' market is not for the masses but rather it is focused on customers searching for a flavor that is superior and in some cases unique.


       We have designed slogans, logos and trade names for use in print advertising.  To create additional name recognition and customer identification, we sell T-shirts, sweatshirts and other merchandise featuring our name and logo.  Distributors and package store locations are provided with point-of-purchase cards, banners, static stickers and shelf channels.  


       Sales of beer in general are seasonal in nature and are at their highest level in the second and third calendar quarters and at their lowest in the first and fourth calendar quarters.  This seasonality has historically had a significant impact on our operations on a quarter to quarter basis.


Dependence on Major Customers


       During 2004 and 2005 and for the first three months of 2006, wholesale distributors were responsible for 52.5%, 56.7% and 67.5% of our sales, respectively.  Three distributors (Mountain People’s Warehouse, Morris Distributing and Bay Area Distributing) accounted for 28.6% of our sales in 2004,  two distributors (Mountain People’s Warehouse and Bay Area Distributing) accounted for 27.3% of our sales for 2005 and two distributors (Mountain People’s Warehouse and Bay Area Distributing) accounted for 29.7% of our sales for the three months ended March 31, 2006.  We have no long-term commitments or agreements from any of our distributors or customers. Our distributors



49



can terminate their agreements with us on 30 days’ notice. The loss of a major distributor or customer could severely impair our sales for a significant period of time.


Trademarks and Intellectual Property


       We consider all of our beer recipes to be trade secrets which we protect by confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements.  


       We claim common law trademark protection to all of our trademarks, words and design.  We have applied for and been granted a federal registration for the trademark “Golden West Brewing” and a State of California registration for the trademark “Revolution X.” We may seek additional federal and state registered trademarks in the future for existing or future products.


       On September 29, 2002, Four Rivers Broadcasting, Inc. filed a trademark application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") for Mount Shasta Ale based on its intent to use the proposed mark.  Four Rivers Broadcasting, Inc. is a subsidiary of Alta California Broadcasting, Inc., an affiliate of John C. Power, our Director.  Alta California Broadcasting, Inc. also registered the domain name www.ales.com.  In 2004, Four Rivers Broadcasting and Alta California Broadcasting assigned their interests in the trademark, and domain name, respectively, to an investor group in consideration of the redemption of an equity interest in Alta California Broadcasting.  The investors in turn assigned those intellectual property rights to the Company in exchange for shares of Company common stock.  Documents governing the assignments have been executed but the formal assignments have not been formally registered in the respective registration offices controlling these intellectual property rights.


       Four Rivers Broadcasting was involved in trademark infringement litigation with a third party over the use of that trademark.  In that litigation, both Four Rivers and the third party claimed a prior right to use the trademark and that the other is infringing on their intellectual property rights.  That litigation has now been resolved under the terms of an agreement in which to the other party has agreed that we may use the trademark "Mount Shasta Ale."  However, because we have been advised by Shasta Beverage Company that they would oppose the application if we pursued it (but not our unregistered use of the mark), we have abandoned our trademark application pending with the USPTO, and rather will rely upon common law trademark principles to protect our use of the mark.


       In addition to the domain name www.ales.com, we have registered the domain name www.organicale.com and www.buttecreek.com.  Both domain addresses link to the same website.  We believe that our domain name plays an important role in expanding the awareness of our products on the Internet.  


       Notwithstanding our efforts to develop and protect our intellectual property rights, trademark protection and the uncertainty surrounding the legal protections of domain names, may be unenforceable or limited.  As a result, we may not be able to maintain our current trademarks or domain name if they are subject to challenge.  We believe that any successful challenge to our use of a trademark or our domain name could have a material adverse impact upon our business, financial condition and future operations.

Competition


       As of December 1, 2005, there were a total of 1,334 craft breweries that included 927 brew pubs, 350 microbreweries, 13 regional breweries and 21 large breweries.  For the first eleven months of 2005, 47 brew pubs and three microbreweries closed.  But 31 brew pubs and 18 microbreweries opened.  


       We compete with other craft brewers on the basis of product quality and freshness, packaging design, distribution, marketing support and regional identification.  The beer industry in general and the craft brewing segment in particular is highly competitive and we experience stiff competition and expect that competition to increase in the future.  Our products compete with products from large and small domestic and foreign breweries and from and increasing number of regional specialty breweries, microbreweries, brew pubs and contract brewers.  Many of these competing breweries, including some existing microbreweries, have significantly greater financial, production, distribution and marketing resources than ours.  


       In the organic microbrew market, our principal competitors are Wolavers and Eel River Brewing Company.  As both are privately held, there is little information available concerning their relative financial strength and resources.  Both Wolavers and Eel River produce a variety of organic beers, all of which also use non-organic hops, as previously discussed.  However, we believe that Wolavers has broader distribution and greater market penetration than either we or Eel River enjoy.  


       In addition, we contract microbrew for Bison Brewing Company, of Berkeley, California and Santa Cruz Mountain Brewery, Santa Cruz, CA.  All of the beers that we make for Bison and Santa Cruze are marketed as organic, although they too use non-organic hops.  Bison Brewing has a California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control license at our facility as part of this contract brewing arrangement.  Bison represented 4.3% of gross revenues in 2004, and approximately 7.2% of revenues in 2005 and 3.4% of sales in the three months of 2006.  We cannot predict the extent to which Bison and/or Santa Cruz production will contribute to our overall revenues in the future.


Governmental Regulation


       The Company's United States operations are subject to licensing by both state and federal governments, as well as to regulation by a variety of state and local governments and agencies.  The Company is licensed to manufacture and sell beer by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control in California.  Our license issued by California does not permit us to engage in retail sales to consumers on the premises. A federal permit from the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Tax and Trade (“TTB”) allows the Company to manufacture fermented malt beverages.  To keep these licenses and permits in force, the Company must pay annual fees and submit timely production reports and excise tax returns.  Prompt notice of any changes in the operations, ownership, management or company structure must also be made to these regulatory agencies.  BATF must also approve all product labels, which must include and alcohol use warning.  These agencies require that individuals owning equity securities in the aggregate of 10% or more in the Company be investigated as to their suitability.  The Company's production operations must also comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Administrations' workplace safety and worker health regulations and comparable state laws.  Management believes that the Company is presently in compliance with the aforementioned laws and regulations.




51



       In the United States, taxation of alcohol has increased significantly in recent years.  Currently, the federal tax rate is $7.00 per bbl. for up to 60,000 bbl. per year and $18.00 per bbl. For over 60,000 bbl.  The California tax rate is $6.20 per bbl.  Federal and state excise taxes on alcoholic beverages are subject to change.  It is possible that excise taxes will be increased in the future by both the federal government and State of California.  In addition, increased excise taxes on alcoholic beverages have in the past been considered in connection with various governmental budget balancing or funding proposals.  Any such increased in excise taxes, if enacted, could adversely affect our business.  We believe that we currently have all licenses, permits and approvals necessary for our current operations.  However, existing permits or licenses could be revoked if we were to fail to comply with the terms of such permits or licenses, and additional permits or licenses could in the future be required for our existing or expanded operations.  If licenses, permits or approvals necessary for our brewery were unavailable or unduly delayed, or if any such permits or licenses were revoked, our ability to conduct our business could be substantially and adversely affected.


       Various federal and state labor laws govern our relationship with our employees, including minimum wage requirements, overtime, working conditions and immigration requirements.  Significant additional government-imposed increased in minimum wages, paid leaves of absence and mandated health benefits, or increased tax reporting and tax payment requirements for employees could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.


     On March 15, 2006, we were notified that the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control had filed an Accusation alleging that we had violated California regulations by participating in a beer tasting at the Mt. Shasta Board & Ski Park, not sponsored by a non-profit. As a result, we have accepted a disposition consisting of a ten day temporary suspension of our manufacturing license which will be immediately stayed, meaning, we do not expect any interruption in our business operations.



Research and Development


       During the last two fiscal years, except for $928 expended in the year ended December 31, 2004 for hops rhizomes, and since then we have not expended any working capital on product research and development.


Compliance with Environmental Laws


       We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws which regulate the use, storage, handling and disposal of various substances.  


       Our waste products consist of water, spent grains, hops, glass and cardboard.  We have instituted a recycling program for our/ office paper, newspapers, magazines, glass and cardboard at minimal cost to us.   We sell or give away our spent grain to local cattle ranchers.  We have not purchased any special equipment and do not incur any identifiable fees in connection with our environmental compliance.


       The Chico facility is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws which regulate use, storage and disposal of various materials.  The Company pays approximately $190 per month towards sewer fees for liquid waste.  The sewer discharge from the brewery is monitored and is within the standards set by the Butte County Sewer Department.



52




       Various states in which the Company sells its products in the U.S., including California, have adopted certain restrictive packaging laws and regulations for beverages that require deposits on packages.  The Company continues to do business in these states, and such laws have not had a significant effect on the Company's sales.  The adoption of similar legislation by Congress or a substantial number of states or additional local jurisdictions might require the Company to incur significant capital expenditures to comply.


Employees


       As of June 1, 2006, we had a total of twenty-eight employees, eight of whom were full time.   The full time employees include Larry Berlin, master brewer, Scott Burchell, sales manager, Jacqueline Winter, office manager, one sales persons and four brewing support.  We have one part time sales person and nineteen part time employees involved in the packaging process.


       Effective March 31, 2006, Tom Atmore, our general manager, resigned his position.  He has agreed serve as a consultant until June 30, 2006.


       In addition, we utilize the services of one independent contractor who performs accounting services and acts as company controller.

 

       Given adequate capital, we would like to hire additional marketing and sales personnel.  


Facilities


       Our executive offices and main brewery are located at 945 West 2nd Street, Chico, California.  The entire building consists of approximately 8,280 square feet, of which 1,000 square feet is used for executive offices, 4,600 square feet for our brewery and 3,000 square feet for bottling and shipping.  The property is an industrial building which we lease from a former Butte Creek member with less than a one percent membership  interest.  The lease has a term of five years, expiring in 2010, and provides for monthly rental for the first year of $3,312  per month..  Beginning in July 2006, the rent will be $3,726 plus thereafter an annual adjustment based upon the increase in the Consumer Price Index..We believe that our ability to occupy the present facility under the existing lease is secure and that the facilities are adequate for the foreseeable future.  


Legal Proceedings


       There are no material legal proceedings in which either we or any of our affiliates are involved which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or future operations.

2004 Equity Incentive Plan


       On December 10, 2004, we adopted our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan for our officers, directors and other employees, plus outside consultants and advisors.  Under the Equity Incentive Plan, our employees, outside consultants and advisors may receive awards of non-qualified options and incentive options, stock appreciation rights or shares of stock.  As required by Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the aggregate fair market value of our common stock underlying incentive stock options granted to an employee exercisable for the first time in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000.  The foregoing limitation does not apply to non-qualified options.  The exercise price of an incentive option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares of our common stock on the date of grant.  The same limitation does not apply to non-qualified options.  An option is not transferable, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  If the employment of an optionee terminates for any reason, (other than for cause, or by reason of death, disability or retirement), the optionee may exercise his options within a 90-day period following such termination to the extent he was entitled to exercise such options at the date of termination.  A maximum of 500,000 shares of our common stock are subject to the Equity Incentive Plan.  As of the date of this prospectus, no options, stock appreciation rights or bonus stock have been granted under the Equity Incentive Plan. The purpose of the Equity Incentive Plan is to provide employees, including our officers and employee directors, and non-employee consultants and advisors, with an increased incentive to make significant and extraordinary contributions to our long-term performance and growth, to join their interests with the interests of our shareholders, and to facilitate attracting and retaining employees of exceptional ability.


       The Equity Incentive Plan may be administered by the Board or in the Board's sole discretion by the Compensation Committee of the Board or such other committee as may be specified by the Board to perform the functions and duties of the Committee under the Equity Incentive Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan, the Committee and the Board shall determine, from those eligible to be participants in the Equity Incentive Plan, the persons to be granted stock options, stock



56



appreciation rights and restricted stock, the amount of stock or rights to be optioned or granted to each such person, and the terms and conditions of any stock option, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock.


Director Compensation


       Under our Equity Incentive Plan, each of our directors and officers is eligible to receive options to purchase shares of our common stock.  To date, no option grant has been made to any director.  We plan to make annual grants to directors in the future, but the basis of such grants has not yet been established.


Executive Compensation


The following table and discussions summarize all plan and non-plan compensation earned by or paid to our chief executive officer for our last three completed fiscal years.  No other executive officer received total annual salary and bonus of at least $100,000 during those periods.

Options are in the money if the market value of the shares covered thereby is greater than the option exercise price. Based on the estimated fair market value of the common stock at December 31, 2005, of $.25 per share, less the exercise price.


Employment and Consultation Agreements


       We do not have any written employment agreements with any of our executive officers of key employees, nor do we have or maintain key man life insurance on any of our employees.


       In addition to Tom Atmore, who serves as a consultant until June 30, 2006 since his resignation as general manager effective March 31, 2006.


       Accounting services are performed by Ben Kirby in consideration of a monthly fee.  This arrangement is terminable at will.

Limitation On Directors' Liability; Indemnification


       Our certificate of incorporation limits the liability of a director for monetary damages for his conduct as a director, except for:


 

*

Any breach of the duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders,

   
 

*

Acts or omissions not in good faith or that involved intentional misconduct or a knowing  violation of law,

   
 

*

Dividends or other distributions of corporate assets from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

   
 

*

Liability under federal securities law


       The effect of these provisions is to eliminate our right and the right of our stockholders (through stockholder's derivative suits on our behalf) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of his fiduciary duty of care as a director, except for the acts described above.  These provisions do not limit or eliminate our right or the right of a stockholder to seek non-monetary relief, such as an injunction or rescission, in the event of a breach of a director's duty of care.  


       Our certificate of incorporation also provides that we shall indemnify, to the full extent permitted by Delaware law, any of our directors, officers, employees or agents who are made, or threatened to be made, a party to a proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was one of our directors, officers, employees or agents.  The indemnification is against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding if certain standards are met.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons in accordance with these provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions


          Effective December 31, 2003, we issued 400,000 shares valued at $60,000 to five investors in exchange for certain assets the investors had acquired from the Alta Group.  Those investors consisted of Webquest, Inc., an entity controlled by Gina Garcia-Shaw, Donald E. Fruh, Hangar Development Group, LLC, an entity controlled by John Overturf, Jr.,  Triumph Capital, Inc., an entity controlled by Dorothy Calandrella and Rockies Fund, Inc., whose board of directors consists of Clifford C. Thygesen, Charles Powell and Stephen Calandrella.  Dorothy Calandrella is the mother of Stephen Calandrella.   The certificates evidencing the shares have not yet been issued.


          The assets acquired had been sold by Alta California Broadcasting, Inc. and its affiliates Nova Redwood, LLC and Four Rivers Broadcasting, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the "Alta group").  John C. Power, an officer, director and founder of the Company, is also an officer and director of all three entities that comprise the Alta Group.


          Alta California Broadcasting, Inc. had acquired the domain name www.ales.com.  On September 29, 2002, Four Rivers Broadcasting, Inc. filed a trademark application number 78169062 with the Unites States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") for Mount Shasta Ale™ based on its intent to use the proposed mark.  In 2003, Nova Redwood, LLC had advanced $59,500 to Butte Creek Brewing Company, LLC as part of a planned acquisition.  In October 2003, the Alta Group decided to not pursue the acquisition of Butte Creek and sold the domain name www.ales.com, all rights to the Federal Trademark application for Mount Shasta Ale™ and the advances to Butte Creek for $60,000 to a group of five investors who vended the assets into the Company as founding shareholders.  These investors are not affiliates of the Company.


          On December 1, 2003, John C. Power purchased a delivery vehicle (2003 Ford Van) for the purposes of assisting Butte Creek Brewing Company, LLC ("Butte Creek") maintain and expand its self-distribution capabilities.  The vehicle is 100% utilized by Butte Creek as a delivery vehicle.  The purchase price of the vehicle was $22,920.70 and was financed for 60 months with Ford Credit at an annual percentage rate of 5.99%.   The payments on the vehicle are paid by the Company and are recorded as advances to Butte Creek under the asset purchase agreement.  The liability to Ford Credit is in the name of John C. Power and is therefore not recorded as a liability on these financial statements.  There are no written agreements between the Company and Butte Creek memorializing this transaction.


          In July 2004, John C. Power purchased a delivery vehicle (2004 Ford Van) for the purpose of assisting Butte Creek maintain and expand its self-distribution capabilities.  The vehicle is 100% utilized by Butte Creek as a delivery vehicle.  The purchase price was $26,155.91 and was financed for 60 months with Ford Credit at an annual percentage rate of 0.90%.  The payments on the vehicle are paid by the Company and are recorded as advances to Butte Creek under the Asset Purchase Agreement.  The liability to Ford Credit is the name of the officer and director of the Company and is therefore not recorded as a liability on the Company's financial statements.  There are no written agreements between the Company and Butte Creek memorializing this transaction.


          In 2003, John C. Power guaranteed a $25,000 line of credit for Butte Creek with one of its suppliers, California Glass Company.  No compensation has been paid by either the Company or Butte Creek for the guarantee.  Thomas Atmore has guaranteed the Butte Creek lines of credit with MBNA and Wells Fargo.

          In 2004, we purchased certain hops rhizomes for research and development purposes.  The rhizomes were planted on the property of Brian Power.  The rhizomes were expensed as research and development expense in 2004.  The value of the personal real property used by the directors to farm the hops was an insignificant portion of their property.

          

        On September 28, 2002, Butte Creek, under the terms of its existing facility lease, exercised an option to purchase the brewery land and building for $208,009, including expense of sale.  Butte Creek then sold the building and additional improvements for $400,000 to one of its members with less than a one percent (1%) membership interest.  This resulted in a net capital gain of $98,007.  Butte Creek then entered into a lease agreement with that former member for an initial term of five years.


       In December 2004, John Power purchased an additional 48,000 shares of common stock in consideration of $12,000.


       In January 2005, John Power, one of our directors and principal shareholders, converted $22,500 in outstanding advances owed to him into 90,000 shares of common stock, and Clifford Neuman, legal counsel to the Company, converted $7,500 in outstanding and unpaid fees for legal services into 30,000 shares of common stock.  The shares were "restricted securities" under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.


       At December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2005, we had advances payable to J. Andrew Moorer, a director, of $8,750 and $8,750, respectively.  In addition, at December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2005, we had advances payable to John Power, a director, and related entities of $35,158 and $181,394, respectively. At September 30, 2005, we also had additional advances payable of  $1,489 to Lone Oak Vineyards LLC, an affiliate of Brian Power, a director. At September 30, 2005, we had advances payable to Power Curve, Inc. in the amount of $73,677.  The advances payable to Messrs. Moorer, John Power and Lone Oak Vineyards are uncollateralized, are due on demand and do not bear interest.


       Between March and September 2005, we borrowed a total of $125,000 from three lenders: $50,000 from Power Curve, Inc. (a company controlled by John Power); $50,000 from Lone Oak Vineyards, Inc. (a company controlled by Brian Power); and $25,000 from Tiffany Grace, an unaffiliated party.  Approximately $86,000 was used to payoff Butte Creek’s loans to Tri County Economic Development Corporation and to purchase additional equipment.   The remainder was used to provide working capital. The Tiffany Grace note, which was executed on September 9, 2005 accrues interest at the rate of 9% per annum, is payable in monthly payments of principal and interest based upon a five year amortization, and is due in full March 2008.  The Power Curve and Lone Oak notes were executed in September, 2005, accrue interest at the rate of 9% per annum, and are payable in full in 2008  The loans are secured by a security interest covering all of our tangible and intangible assets. Both John Power and Brian Power were parties involved in this transaction.


        On December 30, 2005, John Power and Power Curve, Inc. converted $215,000 and $90,000 in outstanding advances respectively into secured long-term debt.  The notes bear interest at 9% and mature December 31, 2008 and are secured by a security interest covering all of our tangible and intangible assets which is junior to the security interest of Power Curve, Inc., Lone Oak Vineyards, Inc. and Tiffany Grace.




61



          Effective December 30, 2005, John Power, our President and director, and Bob Vogt, an unaffiliated third party, each converted $10,000 in accrued advances payable into 40,000 shares of common stock, at a conversion price of $.25 per share.  Effective December 30, 2005, our attorney Clifford Neuman converted $25,000 in accrued fees payable into 100,000 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $.25 per share.  The accrued fees were incurred in connection with this offering. Mr. Neuman immediately gifted the shares to his two children equally.


        In the three months ended March 31, 2006, John Power and Power Curve, Inc. have made advances to the Company of $57,800 and $52,150 respectively.  These advances are unsecured and due on demand.  Subsequent to March 31, 2006, John Power and Power Curve, Inc., have made advances to the Company of $29,900 and $37,360 respectively.  These advances are unsecured and due on demand.

The Offering


       We are offering on a best efforts basis up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock on a 400,000 minimum,  1,000,000 share maximum basis at an offering price of $.50 per share.  The terms of the offering are as follows:


 

*

We are offering the shares to the public through our officers and directors, and will rely primarily on the efforts of John Power, one of our directors.  No sales commission will be paid to our officers and directors.  We do not presently intend to use the services of any broker-dealer or investment banking firm in the offering.  

   
 

*

Until we have sold at least 400,000 shares of common stock, we will not accept subscriptions for any shares.  None of our officers, directors or promoters will purchase shares in the offering in order to achieve the minimum offering amount.  All proceeds of the offering will be deposited in an escrow account with Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., our transfer agent.  If we are unable to sell at least 400,000 shares before the offering ends, we will return all funds, with interest and without deduction, to subscribers promptly following  the end of the offering.

   
 

*

We have the right to completely or partially accept or reject any subscription for shares offered in this offering, for any reason or for no reason.  The offering will remain open until the earlier of all of the shares are sold or August 3, 2006.  We may decide to cease selling efforts at any time prior to such date if our Board of Directors determines that there is a better use of funds and management time than the continuation of this offering.

   
 

*

If this offering is not oversubscribed, within a reasonable time after effectiveness, we plan to accept all subscriptions as soon as reasonably practicable.  If this offering is oversubscribed or appears likely to be oversubscribed within a reasonable time after effectiveness, we plan to allocate the shares among subscribers in our sole discretion.

   
   


          All proceeds of the offering will be deposited with and held by Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., our transfer agent, under the terms of an Amended Fund Escrow Agreement, which will establish a segregated account for that purpose.  Provided we achieve at least the minimum offering, when the offering terminates, all proceeds will be paid to us.  If we do not achieve at least the minimum offering, when the offering terminates, Corporate Stock Transfer will return all funds to subscribers, without deduction or interest.   We have agreed to pay Corporate Stock Transfer a fee of $2,500 to serve as escrow agent, and to indemnify it from liability that might arise as a result of serving as escrow agent.


        As of the date of this Prospectus, we have received subscriptions for a total of 80,000 shares and have deposited the $40,000 in subscription proceeds into the escrow account at Corporate Stock Transfer.


       We will reimburse our officers and directors for expenses incurred in connection with the offer and sale of shares in this offering.  All of our officers and directors are relying on Rule 3a4-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 as a "safe harbor" from registration as a broker-dealer in



65



connection with the offer and sales of the shares.  In order to rely on such "safe harbor" provisions provided by Rule 3a4-1, an officer or director must be in compliance with all of the following:



 

-

He must not be subject to a statutory disqualification;

   
 

-

He must not be compensated in connection with such selling participation by payment of commission or other payments based either directly or indirectly on such transactions;

   
 

-

He must not be an associated person of a broker-dealer;

   
 

-

He must restrict participation to transactions involving offers and sale of the shares;

   
 

-

He must perform substantial duties for us after the close of the offering not connected with transactions in securities, and not have been associated with a broker or dealer for the preceding 12 months, and not participate in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months; and

   
 

-

He must restrict participation to written communications or responses to inquiries of potential purchasers.


We believe that each of our officers and directors qualifies to rely upon the foregoing safe harbor. Our officers and directors have no current plans to purchase shares in the offering.

66



       We intend to deliver to investors certificates for their shares within 30 days of accepting their subscription agreements.


Description of Securities


       We are authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of $.0001 par value common stock and 5,000,000 shares of $.0001 par value preferred stock.  As of June 1, 2006, 2,000,000 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding, and there were approximately 18 shareholders of record.


Common Stock


       Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held of record.  There is no right to cumulative voting of shares for the election of directors.  The shares of common stock are not entitled to pre-emptive rights and are not subject to redemption or assessment.  Each share of common stock is entitled to share ratably in distributions to shareholders and to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor.  Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive, pro-rata, our assets which are legally available for distribution to shareholders.  


Preferred Stock


       We are authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of $.0001 par value preferred stock.  Our preferred stock can be issued in one or more series as may be determined from time-to-time by our Board of Directors.  In establishing a series our Board of Directors shall give to it a distinctive designation so as to distinguish it from the shares of all other series and classes, shall fix the number of shares in such series, and the preferences, rights and restrictions thereof.  All shares of any one series shall be alike in every particular.  Our Board of Directors has the authority, without shareholder approval, to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of any series of preferred stock including, without limitation:  


 

*

the rate of distribution,

   
 

*

the price at and the terms and conditions on which shares shall be redeemed,

   
 

*

the amount payable upon shares for distributions of any kind,

   
 

*

sinking fund provisions for the redemption of shares,

   
 

*

the terms and conditions on which shares may be converted if the shares of any series are issued with the privilege of conversion, and

   
 

*

voting rights except as limited by law.


       We could authorize the issuance of additional series of preferred stock which would grant to holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend coupons before dividends would be declared to common shareholders, and the right to the redemption of such shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption to common stock.  Our common shareholders have no redemption rights.  In addition, our Board could issue large blocks of voting stock to fend off



67



unwanted tender offers or hostile takeovers without further shareholder approval.


Anti-takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Delaware Law


       We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law.  In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the "business combination" or the transaction in which the person became an "interested stockholder" is approved in a prescribed manner.  Generally, a "business combination" includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder.  Generally, an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own) 15% or more of the corporation's voting stock.  The existence of this provision would be expected to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the board of directors, including discouraging takeover attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.


Transfer Agent, Warrant Agent and Registrar


       The transfer agent and registrar for our common and preferred stock is Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., 3200 Cherry Creek Drive South, Suite 430, Denver, CO 80209.


Reports to Shareholders


       We intend to furnish annual reports to shareholders that will include audited financial statements reported on by our independent certified public accountants.  In addition, we will issue unaudited quarterly or other interim reports to shareholders, as we deem appropriate.


Shares Eligible For Future Sale

 

       Prior to the offering, there has been no public market for our common stock.  If a public trading market develops, of which there can be no assurance, future sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices.

 

       Upon completion of the offering, we will have between 2,400,000 and 3,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding, depending on how many shares are sold in the offering.  All 2,000,000 shares which were outstanding prior to this offering are "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and may not be resold except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including Rule 144.  All of the shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act, except for any shares owned by our officers, directors, and major shareholders, which will be subject to certain resale limitations of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.  Officers and directors who own in the aggregate a total of 668,000 shares have agreed with us not to sell, transfer, assign, or make any other disposition of any shares owned by them for a period of six months after the date of this prospectus.




68



Legal Matters


       The validity of the issuance of the common stock offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Clifford L. Neuman, P.C. of Boulder, Colorado.  Mr. Neuman is the beneficial owner of 130,000 shares of common stock of the Company.


Experts


       Our financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 and those of Butte Creek as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004 have been included herein in reliance on the reports of Schumacher & Associates, Inc., independent public accountants, appearing elsewhere herein, given upon the authority of that firm as experts in auditing and accounting.


Additional Information


       We file annual, quarterly and special reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  You may read and copy any document we file at the Commission's Public Reference Rooms, 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549.  Please call the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the Public Reference Rooms. You can also obtain copies of our Commission filings by going to the Commission's Website at http://www.sec.gov.


       We have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 to register the shares of our common stock and common stock warrants to be sold by the Selling Securityholders and issued pursuant to the exercise of the warrants.  This Prospectus is part of that Registration Statement and, as permitted by the Commission's rules, does not contain all of the information set forth in the Registration Statement.  For further information about us or our common stock, you may refer to the Registration Statement and to the exhibits filed as part of the Registration Statement.  You can review a copy of the Registration Statement and its exhibits at the public reference rooms maintained by the Commission and on the Commission's Website as described above.

GOLDEN WEST BREWING COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2006
(UNAUDITED)


1.      Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies:

This summary of significant accounting policies of is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in preparation of the financial statements. The Company has selected December 31 as its year end.


Description of Business - Golden West Brewing Company, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, and its wholly-owned California subsidiary Golden West Brewing Company (hereinafter referred to as “The Company” on a consolidated basis) were formed in 2003 for the purpose of acquiring Butte Creek Brewing Company, LLC ("Butte Creek").  The acquisition of Butte Creek was completed on August 31, 2005.


In the opinion of management of the Company the accompanying statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, and its results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 and its cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 and the statement of stockholder’s equity as of March 31, 2006.  The results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.  The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto filed as a part of the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB.  All inter-company account balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.


Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value.  The Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts based on factors pertaining to the credit risk of specific customers. Historical trends and other information.   Delinquent accounts are written-off when it is determined that the amounts are uncollectible.


Inventory - Inventory is stated at the lower-of-average cost or market computed on a first-in first-out basis.


Income Recognition - The Company recognizes revenues at the point of sale when title to the product changes hands to the buyer.


Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company's financial statements are based upon a number of significant estimates including the allowance for doubtful accounts. Due to the uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates for these items could be further revised in the near term and such revisions could be material.




F-7





Financial Instruments - The Company discloses fair value information about financial instruments when it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying value of the Company's cash, cash equivalents, and accounts payable approximate their estimated fair values due to their short-term maturities.


Concentrations of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and advances. At December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, the Company had no amounts of cash or cash equivalents in financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by agencies of the U.S. Government.


Valuation of Long-Lived Assets - The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the projected undiscounted future cash flows are less than its carrying value. The Company measures impairment based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value. Fair market value is determined primarily using the projected cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost to dispose.


Income Taxes - The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, the effect of net operating losses, based upon the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. 


Intangibles - Intangibles consists of goodwill, trade names and trademarks. Intangibles other than goodwill are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the intangibles. The $25,000 of acquired intangible assets relate to tradenames and trademarks that have an expected remaining useful life of approximately five years.  Assets determined to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized in accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangibles," but are tested for impairment on an annual basis. 


Recent Accounting Pronouncements - There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2005 and 2004, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows.


Development Stage Enterprise - Until August 31, 2005, the Company was a development stage enterprise since planned principal operations had not yet commenced. As a result of the acquisition of Butte Creek on August 31, 2005, the Company is no longer considered a development stage enterprise (Note 9).


Per Share Information - Per share information is computed by dividing the net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.


Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to consist of cash on hand and demand deposits in banks with an initial maturity of 90 days or less.




F-8





Risks and Uncertainties - The Company is subject to substantial business risks and uncertainties inherent in starting a new business. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues or obtain sufficient funds necessary for launching a new business venture.


Basis of Presentation - Going Concern - Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has sustained losses from operations, and has net working capital deficit, which raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.   Management of the Company believes that the additional capital from the proposed public offering and improved results from operations will be sufficient for the continued viability of the company, however there can be no assurance that either will occur.


In view of these matters, realization of certain of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financial requirements, raise additional capital, and the success of its future operations.


2.     Advances and Notes Payable:

On November 1, 2004, J. Andrew Moorer, a Director of the Company, made an uncollateralized advance of $8,750.  The advance continues to be uncollateralized and due on demand.  This advance started to accrue interest at 8% on January 1, 2006 and had accrued interest as of March 31, 2006 of $175.

5.     Commitments & Contingencies

A.  On December 30, 2005, an unsecured outstanding advance to the Company by an unaffiliated party in the amount of $10,000 was converted into 40,000 shares of common stock. In February 2006, the Company was notified by the SEC that this conversion of $10,000 into 40,000 shares of common stock to an unaffiliated third party might have been a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "33 Act"). While Management disagrees with this view, if it is determined that this transaction constituted a primary offering by or on behalf of the Company in violation of Section 5 of the 33 Act, then the Company may be subject to remedial sanctions. Such sanctions may include the payment of disgorgement, prejudgment interest and civil or criminal penalties. Management of the Company is not aware of any pending claims for sanctions against it based on Section 5 of the 33 Act, and intends to vigorously defend against any such claims if they arise. However, due to the notification by the SEC, the Company has classified the advance, amounting to $10,000 as of March 31, 2006, as a liability under amounts subject to rescission in the accompanying March 31, 2006 balance sheet.  The shares issued are included in our total number of shares outstanding as of March 31, 2006.  A contingency exists with respect this matter, the ultimate resolution of which cannot be determined at this time.


B. Delinquent Taxes & Rent

At March 31, 2006 the Company had outstanding payroll tax liabilities of $50,029. Of these amounts $41,009 are considered delinquent.


California Redemption Value (CRV) is a tax collected on all package sales to retailers, processed through the California Department of Conservation and refunded through the State's recycling program. The United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms ("BATF"), now the TTB, and various state agencies collect excise taxes often referred to as "alcohol taxes" with the amount based on the volume of beer sold. At March 31, 2006, the Company had alcohol related taxes payable to federal and state taxing authorities of $67,904.  Of these amounts, $62,500 is considered delinquent. The detail of those taxes payable is as follows:

Most of these delinquent payables have been assumed by the Company in connection with our acquisition of Butte Creek as the continuation of regulatory compliance is material to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Continued operations could be severely impaired should the TTB or any other governmental agency seek to collect any of the delinquent payables before we are able to pay them.


At March 31, 2006 the Company had outstanding rent obligations on our operating facility of $17,950. We have entered into a verbal forbearance agreement with the landlord whereby the landlord will not proceed with collection actions to enforce its rights under the lease as long as the Company pays current rent and 8% interest on the outstanding rent obligation timely.


C. California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control

On March 15, 2006, the Company was notified that the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control had filed an Accusation alleging that it had violated California regulations by participating in a beer tasting at the Mt. Shasta Board & Ski Park, not sponsored by a non-profit. As a result, the Company may face sanctions ranging from a warning to either a fine of up to $10,000 or the temporary suspension of ten days of its manufacturing license.   The matter is still pending; however, management of the Company does not believe the matter will have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct business.


6.     Deferred Offering Costs:

As of March 31, 2006, the Company had incurred $198,122.50 related to the pending public offering of its securities. The Company has carried $150,000 of the costs as deferred offering costs and has expensed $11,295 in its fiscal 2005 and $36,827.50 in the 3 months ended March 31, 2006.   If the offering is successful, the deferred offering costs will be charged against the proceeds. All legal and accounting costs incurred in excess of $150,000 will be charged as an expense.   Management believes this is the maximum amount of offering costs that should be charged against the proceeds for an offering of this size.


The Company's SB-2 registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2006.   The offering consists of a minimum of 400,000 shares at $0.50 per share and a maximum of 1,000,000 shares at $0.50 per share. To date, no shares have been sold in the offering.


7.     Common Stock:

At inception, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock at $0.15 per share for assets valued at $60,000. During the period ended December 31, 2003, the Company issued 300,000 shares of its common stock at $0.25 per share for cash of $75,000.


During the period ended December 31, 2004, the Company issued 800,000 shares of its common stock at $0.25 per share for cash of $200,000.


In January, 2005, the Company issued 90,000 shares of its common stock at $0.25 per share for conversion of advances payable of $22,500, and 30,000 shares of common stock in conversion of outstanding indebtedness in the amount of $7,500.


In connection with the acquisition of Butte Creek on August 31, 2005, the Company issued 200,000



F-14





shares of common stock to Butte Creek.


Effective December 30, 2005, John Power converted $10,000 in accrued advances payable into 40,000 shares of common stock, at a conversion price of $.25 per share.


Effective December 30, 2005, our attorney Clifford Neuman converted $25,000 in accrued fees payable into 100,000 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $.25 per share. The accrued fees were incurred in connection with this offering. Mr. Neuman immediately gifted the shares to his two children equally.


On December 30, 2005, an uncollateralized outstanding advance to the Company by an unaffiliated party in the amount of $10,000 was converted into 40,000 shares of common stock. In February 2006, the Company was notified by the SEC that this conversion of $10,000 into 40,000 shares of common stock to an unaffiliated third party might have been a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "33 Act"). While Management disagrees with this view, if it is determined that this transaction constituted a primary offering by or on behalf of the Company in violation of Section 5 of the 33 Act, then the Company may be subject to remedial sanctions. Such sanctions may include the payment of disgorgement, prejudgment interest and civil or criminal penalties. Management of the Company is not aware of any pending claims for sanctions against it based on Section 5 of the 33 Act, and intends to vigorously defend against any such claims if they arise. However, due to the notification by the SEC, the Company has classified the advance, amounting to $10,000 as of March 31, 2006, as a liability under amounts subject to rescission in the accompanying March 31, 2006 balance sheet.  The 40,000 shares issued are included in our total number of shares outstanding as of March 31, 2006.  A contingency exists with respect this matter, the ultimate resolution of which cannot be determined at this time.


8.     Income Taxes  

The Company has an estimated net operating loss carry forward of approximately $63,000 and $191,000 at December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, respectively, to offset future taxable income. The net operating loss carry forward, if not used, will expire in various years through 2025, and may be restricted if there is a change in ownership. No deferred income taxes have been recorded because of the uncertainty of future taxable income to be offset.


Significant components of the Company's net deferred income tax asset are as follows:

9.     Acquisition

On August 31, 2005, the Company acquired all the assets and certain liabilities of Butte Creek Brewing Company, LLC (Butte Creek). The results of Butte Creek's operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. Butte Creek was a manufacturer of craft beers, specializing in organic beers. The Company made the acquisition to become an organic craft brewer and expects to continue to produce organic craft beers and to market them strategically in niche markets to capitalize on dedication to the use of organic ingredients.


This business combination was accounted for as a purchase of Butte Creek by the Company under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations. Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price, including transaction costs, is allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired by the Company in connection with the transaction, based on their fair values as of the completion of the transaction. The aggregate purchase price was $983,084, including $567,400 cash, $365,684 assumed liabilities, and common stock valued at $50,000. The $567,400 cash consisted of advances to Butte Creek of $215,035 and $134,965 during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and advances of $217,400 during the eight months ended August 31, 2005. These advances were prepayments on the purchase of assets and were uncollateralized. The value of the 200,000 common shares issued was determined based on the offering price of the Company's common shares in its prospectus, which management believes to be the fair value.


The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.


At August 31, 2005

10.       Equity Incentive Plan:

On December 10, 2004, we adopted our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan for our officers, directors and other employees, plus outside consultants and advisors. Under the Equity Incentive Plan, our employees, outside consultants and advisors may receive awards of non-qualified options and incentive options, stock appreciation rights or shares of stock.

F-16

Subject to the provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan, the Committee and the Board shall determine, from those eligible to be participants in the Equity Incentive Plan, the persons to be granted stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock, the amount of stock or rights to be optioned or granted to each such person, and the terms and conditions of any stock option, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock.


11.       Subsequent Events:


A.     Subsequent to March 31, 2006, John Power and Power Curve, Inc., have made advances to the Company of $29,900 and $37,360 respectively.  The advances are unsecured and due on demand.


B.  The general manager of our brewery, Tom Atmore, resigned his position effective March 31, 2006.  Mr. Atmore will serve as a consultant for a period of 90 days thereafter.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


Board of Directors

Golden West Brewing, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Golden West Brewing, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the two years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit 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. We believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Golden West Brewing, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the two years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As described in Note 1, the Company has sustained losses from operations, and has a net working capital deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans in regard to this matter are also discussed in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GOLDEN WEST BREWING COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND DECEMBER 31, 2004


1.      Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies:


This summary of significant accounting policies of is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in preparation of the financial statements. The Company has selected December 31 as its year end.


Description of Business - Golden West Brewing Company, Inc.  a Delaware Corporation and its wholly-owned California subsidiary Golden West Brewing Company (hereinafter referred to as “The Company” on a consolidated basis) were formed in 2003 for the purpose of acquiring Butte Creek Brewing Company, LLC ("Butte Creek").


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the companies listed above for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. All inter-company account balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.


Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value.  The Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts based on factors pertaining to the credit risk of specific customers. Historical trends and other information.   Delinquent accounts are written-off when it is determined that the amounts are uncollectible.


Inventory  -  Inventory is stated at the lower-of-average cost or market computed on a first-in first-out basis.


Income Recognition - The Company recognizes revenues at the point of sale when title to the product changes hands to the buyer.


Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company's financial statements are based upon a number of significant estimates including the allowance for doubtful accounts. Due to the uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates for these items could be further revised in the near term and such revisions could be material.


Financial Instruments - The Company discloses fair value information about financial instruments when it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying value of the Company's cash, cash



F-24





equivalents, and accounts payable approximate their estimated fair values due to their short-term maturities.


Concentrations of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and advances. At  December 31, 2005, the Company had no amounts of cash or cash equivalents in financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by agencies of the U.S. Government.


Valuation of Long-Lived Assets - The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the projected undiscounted future cash flows are less than its carrying value. The Company measures impairment based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value. Fair market value is determined primarily using the projected cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost to dispose.


Income Taxes - The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, the effect of net operating losses, based upon the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. 


Intangibles - Intangibles consists of goodwill, trade names and trademarks. Intangibles other than goodwill are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the intangibles. The $25,000 of acquired intangible assets relate to tradenames and trademarks that have an expected remaining useful life of approximately five years.  Assets determined to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized in accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangibles," but are tested for impairment on an annual basis. 


Recent Accounting Pronouncements - There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2005 and 2004, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows.


Development Stage Enterprise – Until August 31, 2005, the Company was a development stage enterprise since planned principal operations had not yet commenced. As a result of the acquisition of Butte Creek on August 31, 2005, the Company is no longer considered a development stage enterprise (Note 9). .


Per Share Information - Per share information is computed by dividing the net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.


Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to consist of cash on hand and demand deposits in banks with an initial maturity of 90 days or less.


Risks and Uncertainties - The Company is subject to substantial business risks and uncertainties inherent in starting a new business. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues or obtain sufficient funds necessary for launching a new business venture.



F-25






Basis of Presentation - Going Concern - Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has sustained losses from operations, and has net working capital deficit, which raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.   Management of the Company believes that the additional capital from the proposed public offering and improved results from operations will be sufficient for the continued viability of the company, however there can be no assurance that either will occur..


In view of these matters, realization of certain of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financial requirements, raise additional capital, and the success of its future operations.

5.     Commitments & Contingencies

A.  On December 30, 2005, an unsecured outstanding advance to the Company by an unaffiliated party in the amount of $10,000 was converted into 40,000 shares of common stock. In February 2006, the Company was notified by the SEC that this conversion of $10,000 into 40,000 shares of common stock to an unaffiliated third party might have been a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "33 Act"). While Management disagrees with this view, if it is determined that this transaction constituted a primary offering by or on behalf of the Company in violation of Section 5 of the 33 Act, then the Company may be subject to remedial sanctions. Such sanctions may include the payment of disgorgement, prejudgment interest and civil or criminal penalties. Management of the Company is not aware of any pending claims for sanctions against it based on Section 5 of the 33 Act, and intends to vigorously defend against any such claims if they arise. However, due to the notification by the SEC, the Company has classified the advance, amounting to $10,000 as of December 31, 2005, as a liability under amounts subject to rescission in the accompanying December 31, 2005 balance sheet.  The shares issued are included in our total number of shares outstanding as of December 31, 2005.  A contingency exists with respect this matter, the ultimate resolution of which cannot be determined at this time.


B. Delinquent Taxes & Rent - At December 31, 2005, the Company had outstanding payroll tax liabilities of $50,651. Of these amounts $41,009 are considered delinquent.


California Redemption Value (CRV) is a tax collected on all package sales to retailers, processed through the California Department of Conservation and refunded through the State's recycling program. The United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms ("BATF"), now the TTB, and various state agencies collect excise taxes often referred to as "alcohol taxes" with the amount based on the volume of beer sold. At  December 31, 2005, the Company had alcohol related taxes payable to federal and state taxing authorities of  $65,233.  Of these amounts, $61,779 are considered delinquent. The detail of those taxes payable is as follows:

These delinquent payables have been assumed by the Company in connection with our acquisition of Butte Creek as the continuation of regulatory compliance is material to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Continued operations could be severely impaired should the TTB or any other governmental agency seek to collect any of the delinquent payables before we are able to

pay them.


At December 31, 2005 the Company had outstanding rent obligations on our operating facility of $17,950. We have entered into a verbal forbearance agreement with the landlord whereby the landlord will not proceed with collection actions to enforce its rights under the lease as long as the Company pays current rent and 8% interest on the outstanding rent obligation timely.


C. California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control

On March 15, 2006, the Company was notified that the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control had filed an Accusation alleging that it had violated California regulations by participating in a beer tasting at the Mt. Shasta Board & Ski Park, not sponsored by a non-profit. As a result, the Company may face sanctions ranging from a warning to either a fine of up to $10,000 or the temporary suspension of ten days of its manufacturing license.   The matter is still pending; however, management of the Company does not believe the matter will have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct business.


6.     Deferred Offering Costs:

As of December 31, 2005, the Company had incurred $161,295 related to a proposed public offering of its securities.

If the offering is successful, the deferred offering costs will be charged against the proceeds. All legal and accounting costs incurred in excess of $150,000 will be charged as an expense.   Management believes this is the maximum amount of offering costs that should be charged against the proceeds for an offering of this size.


The Company's SB-2 registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2006.   The offering consists of a minimum of 400,000 shares at $0.50 per share and a maximum of 1,000,000 shares at $0.50 per share.

8.     Income Taxes  

The Company has an estimated net operating loss carry forward of approximately $63,000 and $191,000 at December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, respectively, to offset future taxable income. The net operating loss carry forward, if not used, will expire in various years through 2025, and may be restricted if there is a change in ownership. No deferred income taxes have been recorded because of the uncertainty of future taxable income to be offset.

Significant components of the Company's net deferred income tax asset are as follows:

9.     Acquisition

On August 31, 2005, the Company acquired all the assets and $365,684 of the liabilities of Butte Creek Brewing Company, LLC (Butte Creek). The results of Butte Creek's operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. Butte Creek was a manufacturer of craft beers, specializing in organic beers. The Company made the acquisition to become an organic craft brewer and expects to continue to produce organic craft beers and to market them strategically



F-32





in niche markets to capitalize on dedication to the use of organic ingredients.


This business combination was accounted for as a purchase of Butte Creek by the Company under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations. Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price, including transaction costs, is allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired by the Company in connection with the transaction, based on their fair values as of the completion of the transaction. The aggregate purchase price was $983,084, including $567,400 cash, $365,684 assumed liabilities, and common stock valued at $50,000. The $567,400 cash consisted of advances to Butte Creek of $215,035 and $134,965 during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and advances of $217,400 during the eight months ended August 31, 2005. These advances were prepayments on the purchase of assets and were uncollateralized. The value of the 200,000 common shares issued was determined based on the offering price of the Company's common shares in its prospectus, which management believes to be the fair value.


The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.

11.       Subsequent Events:

A.     In February 2006, the Company was notified by the SEC that the December 2005  conversion of $10,000 uncollateralized advance from an unaffiliated party into 40,000 shares of common stock to an unaffiliated third party might have been a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "33 Act"). While Management disagrees with this view, if it is determined that this transaction constituted a primary offering by or on behalf of the Company in violation of Section 5 of the 33 Act, then the Company may be subject to remedial sanctions. Such sanctions may include the payment of disgorgement, prejudgment interest and civil or criminal penalties. Management of the Company is not aware of any pending claims for sanctions against it based on Section 5 of the 33 Act, and intends to vigorously defend against any such claims if they arise. However, due to the notification by the SEC, the Company has classified the advance, amounting to $10,000 as of December 31, 2005, as a liability under amounts subject to rescission in the accompanying December 31, 2005 balance sheet.  The shares issued are included in our total number of shares outstanding as of December 31, 2005.  A contingency exists with respect this matter, the ultimate resolution of which cannot be determined at this time.


B.     For the three months ended March 31, 2006, John Power and Power Curve, Inc. have made advances to the Company of $57,800 and $52,150 respectively. The advances are unsecured and due on demand.


C.     The Company's SB-2 registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2006.   Our offering consists of a minimum of 400,000 shares at $0.50 per share and a maximum of 1,000,000 shares at $0.50 per share.


D.  The general manager of our brewery, Tom Atmore, resigned his position effective March 31, 2006.  Mr. Atmore will serve as a consultant for a period of 90 days thereafter.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM





Board of Directors and Members
Butte Creek Brewing Company, LLC
Chico, California



We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Butte Creek Brewing Company, LLC as of December 31, 2004 and the related statements of operations, members' deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit 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.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Butte Creek Brewing Company, LLC as of December 31, 2004, and the results of their operations, changes in members' deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As described in Note 1, the Company has sustained losses from operations, is delinquent on certain payables, and has net capital and working capital deficits that raise substantial doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BUTTE CREEK BREWING COMPANY, LLC


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003
(REFERENCES TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 AND 2004 ARE UNAUDITED)



1.      Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies:


This summary of significant accounting policies of Butte Creek Brewing Company, LLC (Company) is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements.  The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.  These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in preparation of the financial statements.  


Nature of Operations - Butte Creek Brewing Company, LLC ("Company") is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of California in October 1995.  The Company is a manufacturer of craft beers, specializing in organic beers.  The Company's primary market for its products are customers interested in the rapidly growing arena of organic products.  Most of the Company's products are distributed in the western region of the United States with some distribution to several midwestern and eastern states.


Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  However, the Company has sustained losses from operations, is delinquent on certain payables and has net capital and working capital deficits that raise substantial doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern.


In view of these matters, realization of certain of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financial requirements, raise additional capital, and the success of its future operations.


Management has taken and will continue to take steps to improve its liquidity by reducing costs, seeking additional financing and raising additional capital.


Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue from brewing operations when products are sold and delivered.


Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes.  The actual results could differ from those estimates.  The Company's financial statements are based upon a number of significant estimates, the allowance for doubtful accounts, obsolescence of inventories and the estimated useful lives selected for property and equipment.  Due to the uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is at least



F-43





reasonably possible that the estimates for these items could be further revised in the near term and such revisions could be material.


Financial Instruments - The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their carrying amounts in the financial statements due to the short-term nature of these instruments.


Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of long-term debt approximates its carrying value.


Concentrations - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and cash equivalents, and trade accounts receivable.  As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company had no amounts of cash or cash equivalents in financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by agencies of the U.S. Government.  Trade receivables are from customers in one geographic location, principally Northern California, USA.  The Company does not require collateral for its trade accounts receivable.


Major Customers - A significant portion of the Company's revenues are generated in Northern California. Sales to unaffiliated customers which represent 10% or more of the Company's sales for the six months ended June 30, 2005, and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were as follows (as a percentage of sales):

2003

18.2%

 

21.6%

Purchases from unaffiliated vendors which represent 10% or more of the Company's purchases for the six months ended June 30, 2005, and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were as follows (as a percentage of cost of sales):  

Vendor

2003

      

A

34%

 

31%

 

48%

B

10%

 

-

 

14%


Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of six months or less to be cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.  The Company uses the declining-balance method of depreciation.



F-44





A summary of the estimated useful lives follows:

Machinery and equipment

 

15 years

Kegs and related equipment

 

7 years

Transportation equipment

 

5 years

Furniture and fixtures

 

7-10 years


Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to earnings.  When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in earnings.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company performs an assessment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. If the net carrying value exceeds estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, then impairment is recognized to reduce the carrying value to the estimated fair value.

Income Taxes - The Company is a Limited Liability Company (LLC) and has elected to file using Internal Revenue Service Form 1065 as a partnership, whereby all taxable income or losses flow through to the benefit of its members, and therefore no income tax provision has been included in the financial statements.

Comprehensive Loss -  Comprehensive loss is defined to include all changes in members capital except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.  Comprehensive loss was the same as net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

Inventories - Inventories are carried at the lower-of -average cost or market.

Advertising - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, and were $7,669 and $3,293 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $2,480 and $3,779 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable are carried at estimated net realizable value.  The Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts based on factors pertaining to the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.  Delinquent accounts are written off when it is determined that the amounts are uncollectible.  The Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $659 at December 31, 2004.

Intangibles - Intangibles consist of logos, labels and artwork.  Amounts are amortized using the straight-line method over five years, which is the estimated useful life of the intangibles.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2005 and 2004, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows.



F-45





Interim Financial Statements - The balance sheet as of June 30, 2005 and the statements of operations and statements of cash flows for the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 and the statement of changes in member's deficit for the six months ended June 30, 2005 have been prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in member's deficit for all periods presented have been made.


Members' Interest - No computation of Net Loss Per Unit is reported in the financial statements because the Company's Operating Agreement calls for the issuance of Members' Interests as a percentage based on 100% instead of issuing individual Members' Units.  Therefore, no per unit (loss) data is reported.


Other - The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.  


            The Company consists of one reportable business segment.


            All of the Company's assets are located in the United States of America.

6.     Management Fees Payable:

The Company's Operating Agreement provided certain guarantees to the managers for management fees during the first five years of existence.  Portions of these guarantees were not paid during the five year period and portions of these guarantees were deferred for the first two years of the five year period.  According to the Operating Agreement, interest at 8% per annum was to be accrued on the deferred portion of the management fees.  Also, an original employee accepted a reduced salary while employed and agreed to defer the payment of the reduced salary amount until such time as the managers received their management fees.  As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the total amount of unpaid management fees and salaries was $232,522 and $230,468, respectively, including accrued interest on the deferred portion of $32,861 and $30,807 as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2003, respectively.  Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $2,054 and $4,107 each for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.These accrued management fees payable were not assumed by Golden West in the acquisition.

7.     Delinquent Payables:


At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 the Company had outstanding payroll tax liabilities of $48,230 and $20,041, respectively.  Of these amounts $33,350 and $10,352 are considered delinquent.  


At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 the Company had outstanding rent obligations on its operating facility of $17,950 and $17,950, respectively.  The Company and its landlord have entered into an agreement whereby the landlord will not proceed with collection actions to enforce its rights under the lease as long as the Company pays current rent and 8% interest on the outstanding rent obligation timely.


California Redemption Value (CRV) is collected on all package sales to retailers, processed through the California Department of Conservation and refunded through the State's recycling program.  The United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms ("BATF") and various state agencies collect excise taxes often referred to as "alcohol taxes" with the amount based on the volume of beer sold.  At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company had CRV and excise taxes payable of $54,657 and $33,747, respectively.  Of these amounts, $50,217 and $31,321 are considered delinquent.  


8.     Related Party Transactions:


In addition to related party transactions disclosed elsewhere in the notes to the financial statements, the Company is a party to the following related party transaction.


On September 28, 2002, the Company, under the terms of its existing facility lease, exercised an option to purchase the brewery land and building for $208,009, including expense of sale.  The Company then sold the building for $400,000 to a member with less than 1% ownership.  This resulted in a net capital gain of $98,007.  The Company then entered into a lease agreement with the member for an initial period of five years.


Future minimum lease payments under this agreement are as follows:

Six months ending September 30, 2007

$80,100


On July 1, 2007, the Company has the option to extend the term of the lease for an additional five year term upon the same terms and conditions, except for rent, which shall be subject to negotiation.


9.     Contingencies:

Pursuant to the Company's Operating Agreement, during the Company's sixth year of existence and thereafter, the managers are entitled to receive fair and equitable compensation for their services as guaranteed salary.  Such compensation was to be set after consultation with the management advisory committee and written notice to the Company's members.  The compensation became binding unless members representing at least 40% of the non-manager interests objected within 30 days of receipt of the compensation notices.  Any dispute would be resolved by binding arbitration under the Rules of the American Arbitration Association in California.  Although the managers received compensation, said compensation during the years in question was significantly below market and believed by management to not represent fair and equitable compensation for services rendered (2004 - $50,400, 2003 - $49,400 and 2002 - $53,600).  In light of the reduced compensation, no notices were delivered to the members.  Although members were not notified, the Operating Agreement provides no specific recourse to the members for non-notification and therefore, a contingency exists with respect to this matter, the ultimate resolution of which cannot presently be determined.

10.    Subsequent Events:


Effective October 6, 2004, the Company executed a definitive Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement with Golden West Brewing Company, Inc., a California corporation ("Golden West").  Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, Golden West planned to purchase substantially all of the business assets of the Company.  In consideration of these assets, Golden West agreed to the following consideration:


 

*

the payment of $350,000 in cash (all of which was advanced by December 31, 2004), which amount was subsequently increased by an additional $217,400 in advances that were capitalized as part of the purchase price;

   
 

*

the assumption by Golden West of not more than $300,000 in liabilities of the Company (subsequently revised to approximately $366,000); and

   
 

*

the issuance of an aggregate of 200,000 shares of common stock of Golden West to be held in escrow and adjusted for any excessive working capital deficiencies as of the effective date.




F-49





In accordance with an Amendment to the Acquisition Agreement, closing occurred August 31, 2005.


Effective July 1, 2005, Golden West Brewing Company, Inc. entered into a five year lease for the office and warehouse space for the Company.  The lease replaces the previous lease discussed in Note 8, provides for monthly rents of $3,312 and expires in 2010.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)

General


On October 6, 2004, GOLDEN and BUTTE entered into an Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement whereby GOLDEN would buy the assets of BUTTE in exchange for $350,000 cash, payment of $300,000 (subsequently revised to approximately $366,000) assumed liabilities by GOLDEN, and 200,000 shares of common stock of GOLDEN. The business combination was completed on August 31, 2005.  . This business combination between GOLDEN and BUTTE was  accounted for as a purchase of BUTTE by GOLDEN under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations. Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price, including transaction costs, is allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired by GOLDEN in connection with the transaction, based on their fair values as of the completion of the transaction. In accordance with FAS 142 the Company will evaluate its carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets to determine if there is any impairment in the carrying values.
