   Gusbourne brand. The Company intends to take advantage of further 
   anticipated market growth in the English sparkling wine industry 
   and intends to plant a further 100 acres of vineyards on its 
   freehold property, resulting in over 200 acres of prime vineyards 
   in Kent and Sussex. The Company expects to be producing, at
