INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REVIEW REPORT
Board of Directors and Stockholders
FIRST GROWTH INVESTORS, INC.
I have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of First Growth
Investors, Inc. (a development stage company) as of June 30, 2000, and
the related statements of operations and cash flows for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the management of First Growth
Investors, Inc.
I conducted my review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial statements consists principally of applying analytical
procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible
for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope
than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, I do
not express such an opinion.
Based on by review, I am not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The Company was incorporated September 9, 1997. Upon inception, the
Company issued 1,750,000 shares of common stock to its founding stockholders.
On October 15, 1997, the Company commenced a public offering of up to 250,000
shares of its common stock, in reliance upon Rule 504 of Regulation D,
promulgated by the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission under the Securities
Act of 1933. The offering closed in November, 1997. Pursuant thereto, the
Company sold 250,000 shares, increasing the total issued and outstanding
common stock to 2,000,000 shares. In July, 1999, the Company filed a
registration statement on Form SB-2 with the U.S. Securities & Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, to register the distribution and
exercise of warrants. This registration statement was declared effective on
October 8, 1999. At that time the Company became subject to the information
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, the Company
now files annual and quarterly reports and other information with the
Commission. The warrants were distributed as soon as practicable after the
date of the prospectus to common stockholders of record as of September 30,
1999. No securities have yet been sold pursuant to exercise of warrants in
this offering.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS.
Management's plan of operation for the next twelve months is to continue
using existing capital and any funds from exercise of warrants in the offering
to acquire another inventory of select wines to hold for investment and
resale, and also to provide general working capital during the next twelve
months. Under this plan of operations First Growth Investors has no specific
capital commitments and the timing of capital expenditures will depend upon
the receipt of additional funds from warrant exercise or elsewhere, none of
which is assured. Cash flows will also depend upon the timing of sale of the
wines, which is also not assured, and receipt of the proceeds from these
sales. We have not determined how long existing capital can satisfy any cash
requirements, but we do not presently anticipate that we will have to raise
additional funds within the next twelve months. While we do not anticipate
any need to raise additional capital, we believe First Growth Investors will
have the opportunity to invest whatever additional funds may be received from
the exercise of warrants in purchasing additional vintages of investment grade
wines. We do not anticipate any capital commitments for product research and
development or significant purchases of plant or equipment, or any change in
the number of employees.
Initially, we purchased eleven different vintages of investment grade
wines at a cost of $54,588. During the first quarter of 1999, we sold these
wines for $76,138. We made these purchases, and all purchases to date, from
non affiliated third parties. We did not purchase any of the inventory from,
or sell any of the inventory to, persons affiliated with First Growth
Investors.
