EXPLANATORY NOTE

Blue Holdings, Inc. is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2008 (the “Form 10-K”). This filing amends and restates our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007, and the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the year ending December 31, 2007 to reflect the Company’s failure to record $1,302,842 of inventory purchased from a vendor that was directly paid for by Mr. Guez, rental expense for an office facility used by the Company that is owned by Mr. Guez in the amount of $96,000, royalty expense owed to a licensor owned by Mr. Guez in the amount of $82,138, and $528,455 of other incorrect postings made to Mr. Guez’ related party accounts. The Company has now agreed to a settlement with Mr. Guez relating to these disputed amounts. The effects of the settlement agreement on the previously filed Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2007 are detailed in Note 1(d) of the accompanying restated consolidated financial statements.

During the restatement process the Company determined that, due to the impact of changes caused by the restatement, the deferred tax assets no longer met the ‘more likely than not’ criteria. The Company has therefore provided a full valuation allowance.

This Amendment No. 1 amends and restates the following items of the Form 10-K as described above: (i) Part I, Item 1 – Financial Statements; (ii) Part I, Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Result of Operations and Financial Condition; (iii) Part I, Item 4 – Controls and Procedures and (iv) Part III, Item 15 – Exhibits.

All information in the Form 10-K, as amended by this Amendment No. 1, speaks as to the date of the original filing of our Form 10-K for such period and does not reflect any subsequent information or events except as noted in this Amendment No. 1. All information contained in this Amendment No. 1 is subject to updating and supplementing as provided in our reports, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the date of the initial filing of the Form 10-K.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” and “Business,” contains “forward-looking statements” that include information relating to future events, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive environment, regulation and availability of resources. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding projections, predictions, expectations, estimates or forecasts for our business, financial and operating results and future economic performance, statements of management’s goals and objectives; and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes” and “estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, that performance or those results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time they are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause these differences include, but are not limited to our failure to implement our business plan within the time period we originally planned to accomplish and other factors discussed under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation” and “Business.”

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

All references to “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A refer to Blue Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

PART I

ITEM 1A.

Risk Factors

YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS AND ALL OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DESCRIPTION BEFORE PURCHASING SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK OR OTHER SECURITIES. INVESTING IN OUR COMMON STOCK INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED BELOW ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES FACING US. ADDITIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT WE ARE NOT AWARE OF, OR THAT WE CURRENTLY DEEM IMMATERIAL, ALSO MAY BECOME IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT AFFECT US. IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING EVENTS OR OUTCOMES ACTUALLY OCCURS, OUR BUSINESS, OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION WOULD LIKELY SUFFER. AS A RESULT, THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE, AND YOU MAY LOSE ALL OR PART OF THE MONEY YOU PAID TO PURCHASE OUR COMMON STOCK.

Risks Related to Our Business

We may require additional capital in the future.

We may not be able to fund our future growth or react to competitive pressures if we lack sufficient funds. Currently, management believes we have sufficient cash on hand and cash available through our factor to fund existing operations for the foreseeable future. However, in the future, we may need to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or collaborative relationships, including in the event that we lose our relationship with our factor. This additional funding may not be available or, if available, it may not be available on commercially reasonable terms. In addition, any additional funding may result in significant dilution to existing stockholders. If adequate funds are not available on commercially acceptable terms, we may be required to curtail our operations or obtain funds through collaborative partners that may require us to release material rights to our products.

We may be unable to continue as a going concern if we do not successfully raise additional capital or if our sales decrease substantially.

If we are unable to successfully raise the capital we need, or experience significant reductions in sales, we may need to reduce the scope of our business to fully satisfy our future short-term liquidity requirements. If we cannot raise additional capital or reduce the scope of our business, we may be otherwise unable to achieve our goals or continue our operations. Our auditors have included in their report on our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2007 an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have a limited operating history, making it difficult to evaluate whether we will operate profitably.

Antik and Taverniti, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, were formed in September 2004 to design, develop, manufacture, market, distribute and sell high end fashion jeans, apparel and accessories. As a result, we do not have a meaningful historical record of sales and revenues nor an established business track record. Further, Faith Connexion, although successful in Europe, is not fully tested in the United States. While our management believes that we have an opportunity to be successful in the high end fashion jean market, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in accomplishing our business initiatives, or that we will achieve any significant level of revenues, or continue to recognize net income, from the sale of our products.

Unanticipated problems, expenses and delays are frequently encountered in increasing production and sales and developing new products, especially in the current stage of our business. Our ability to continue to successfully develop, produce and sell our products and to generate significant operating revenues will depend on our ability to, among other matters:

successfully market, distribute and sell our products or enter into agreements with third parties to perform these functions on our behalf; and

obtain the financing required to implement our business plan.

Given our limited operating history, our license agreements with Yanuk Jeans LLC, our acquisition of Taverniti, and our lack of long-term sales history and other sources of revenue, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve any of our goals and develop a sufficiently large customer base to be profitable.

Failure to manage our growth and expansion could impair our business.

Management believes that we are poised for reasonable growth in 2008 by diversifying our sales to a higher proportion of department store business and by maintaining focus on our core brands. However, no assurance can be given that we will be successful in maintaining or increasing our sales in the future. Any future growth in sales will require additional working capital and may place a significant strain on our management, management information systems, inventory management, sourcing capability, distribution facilities and receivables management. Any disruption in our order processing, sourcing or distribution systems could cause orders to be shipped late, and under industry practices, retailers generally can cancel orders or refuse to accept goods due to late shipment. Such cancellations and returns would result in a reduction in revenue, increased administrative and shipping costs and a further burden on our distribution facilities.

Additionally, we intend from time to time to acquire and/or license other businesses and brands, as applicable, as we deem appropriate. If we are unable to properly integrate any business or brands we acquire and/or license, this could adversely affect our results of operation and financial condition.

The loss of Paul Guez, Glenn Palmer or our lead designers would have an adverse effect on our future development and could significantly impair our ability to achieve our business objectives.

Our success is largely dependent upon the expertise and knowledge of our Chairman, Paul Guez, our Chief Executive Officer and President, Glenn Palmer, our lead designers and our ability to continue to hire and retain other key personnel. The loss of Mr. Guez, Mr. Palmer or any of our other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, development, financial condition, and operating results. We do not maintain “key person” life insurance on any of our management or key personnel, including Messrs. Guez and Palmer.

We currently own or license, and operate, a limited number of principal brands. If we are unsuccessful in marketing and distributing those brands or in executing our other strategies, our results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.

While our goal is to employ a multi-brand strategy that will ultimately diversify the fashion and other risks associated with reliance on a limited product line, we currently operate, directly and through our wholly-owned subsidiaries Antik and Taverniti, a limited number of principal brands, most of which are being operated pursuant to very recent license or acquisition agreements. If we are unable to successfully market and distribute our branded products, or if the recent popularity of premium denim brands decreases, or if we are unable to execute on our multi-brand strategy to acquire and/or license additional companies and/or brands, as applicable, identified by our management from time to time, our results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly.

Management expects that we will experience substantial variations in our net sales and operating results from quarter to quarter. We believe that the factors which influence this variability of quarterly results include:

the timing of our introduction of new product lines;

the level of consumer acceptance of each new product line;

general economic and industry conditions that affect consumer spending and retailer purchasing;

the availability of manufacturing capacity;

the seasonality of the markets in which we participate;

the timing of trade shows;

the product mix of customer orders;

the timing of the placement or cancellation of customer orders;

the weather;

transportation delays;

quotas and other regulatory matters;

the occurrence of charge backs in excess of reserves;

the timing of expenditures in anticipation of increased sales and actions of competitors; and

the value of the dollar in relation to other currencies.

As a result of fluctuations in our revenue and operating expenses that may occur, management believes that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not a good indication of our future performance. It is possible that in some future quarter or quarters, our operating results will be below the expectations of securities analysts or investors. In that case, our common stock price could fluctuate significantly or decline.

The loss of business from any significant customer would affect our results of operations.

No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our sales for the year ended December 31, 2007. A decrease in business from or loss of any significant customer would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Additionally, certain retailers, including some of our customers, have experienced in the past, and may experience in the future, financial difficulties, which increase the risk of extending credit to such retailers and the risk that financial failure will eliminate a customer entirely. These retailers have attempted to improve their own operating efficiencies by concentrating their purchasing power among a narrowing group of vendors. There can be no assurance that we will remain a preferred vendor for our existing customers. Further, there can be no assurance that our factor will approve the extension of credit to certain retail customers in the future. If a customer’s credit is not approved by the factor, we could assume the collection risk on sales to the customer itself, require that the customer provide a letter of credit, or choose not to make sales to the customer.

Our business is subject to risks associated with importing products.

A portion of our import operations are subject to tariffs imposed on imported products and quotas imposed by trade agreements. In addition, the countries in which our products are imported may from time to time impose additional new duties, tariffs or other restrictions on their respective imports or adversely modify existing restrictions. Adverse changes in these import costs and restrictions, or our suppliers’ failure to comply with customs or similar laws, could harm our business. We cannot assure that future trade agreements will not provide our competitors with an advantage over us, or increase our costs, either of which could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Our operations are also subject to the effects of international trade agreements and regulations such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, and the activities and regulations of the World Trade Organization. Generally, these trade agreements benefit our business by reducing or eliminating the duties assessed on products or other materials manufactured in a particular country. However, trade agreements can also impose requirements that adversely affect our business, such as limiting the countries from which we can purchase raw materials and setting duties or restrictions on products that may be imported into the United States from a particular country.

Our ability to import raw materials in a timely and cost-effective manner may also be affected by problems at ports or issues that otherwise affect transportation and warehousing providers, such as labor disputes. These problems could require us to locate alternative ports or warehousing providers to avoid disruption to our customers. These alternatives may not be available on short notice or could result in higher transit costs, which could have an adverse impact on our business and financial condition.

Our dependence on independent manufacturers and suppliers of raw materials reduces our ability to control the manufacturing process, which could harm our sales, reputation and overall profitability.

We depend on independent contract manufacturers and suppliers of raw materials to secure a sufficient supply of raw materials and maintain sufficient manufacturing and shipping capacity in an environment characterized by declining prices, labor shortages, continuing cost pressure and increased demands for product innovation and speed-to-market. This dependence could subject us to difficulty in obtaining timely delivery of products of acceptable quality. In addition, a contractor’s failure to ship products to us in a timely manner or to meet the required quality standards could cause us to miss the delivery date requirements of our customers. The failure to make timely deliveries may cause our customers to cancel orders, refuse to accept deliveries, impose non-compliance charges through invoice deductions or other charge-backs, demand reduced prices or reduce future orders, any of which could harm our sales, reputation and overall profitability.

We do not have long-term contracts with any of our independent contractors and any of these contractors may unilaterally terminate their relationship with us at any time. While management believes that there exists an adequate supply of contractors to provide products and services to us, to the extent we are not able to secure or maintain relationships with independent contractors that are able to fulfill our requirements, our business would be harmed.

We have initiated standards for our suppliers, and monitor our independent contractors’ compliance with applicable labor laws, but we do not control our contractors or their labor practices. The violation of federal, state or foreign labor laws by one of our contractors could result in us being subject to fines and our goods that are manufactured in violation of such laws being seized or their sale in interstate commerce being prohibited. To date, we have not been subject to any sanctions that, individually or in the aggregate, have had a material adverse effect on our business, and we are not aware of any facts on which any such sanctions could be based. There can be no assurance, however, that in the future we will not be subject to sanctions as a result of violations of applicable labor laws by our contractors, or that such sanctions will not have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property rights.

The loss of or inability to enforce our trademarks or any of our other proprietary or licensed designs, patents, know-how and trade secrets could adversely affect our business. If any third party copies or otherwise gains access to our trademarks or other proprietary rights, or develops similar products independently, it may be costly to enforce our rights and we would not be able to compete as effectively. Additionally, the laws of foreign countries may provide inadequate protection of intellectual property rights, making it difficult to enforce such rights in those countries.

We may need to bring legal claims to enforce or protect our intellectual property rights. Any litigation, whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversions of resources. In addition, notwithstanding the rights we have secured in our intellectual property, third parties may bring claims against us alleging that we have infringed on their intellectual property rights or that our intellectual property rights are not valid. Any claims against us, with or without merit, could be time consuming and costly to defend or litigate and therefore could have an adverse affect on our business.

Our business is growing more international and can be disrupted by factors beyond our control.

We have been reducing our reliance on domestic contractors and expanding our use of offshore manufacturers as a cost-effective means to produce our products. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we sourced a significant majority of our finished products from suppliers located outside the United States and we also continued to increase our purchase of fabrics outside the United States. In addition, we have been increasing our international sales of product primarily through our licensees and distributors.

As a result of our increasing international operations, we face the possibility of greater losses from a number of risks inherent in doing business in international markets and from a number of factors which are beyond our control. Such factors that could harm our results of operations and financial condition include, among other things:

Political instability or acts of terrorism, which disrupt trade with the countries in which our contractors, suppliers or customers are located;

Local business practices that do not conform to legal or ethical guidelines;

Adoption of additional or revised quotas, restrictions or regulations relating to imports or exports;

Additional or increased customs duties, tariffs, taxes and other charges on imports;

Significant fluctuations in the value of the dollar against foreign currencies;

Increased difficulty in protecting our intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions;

Social, legal or economic instability in the foreign markets in which we do business, which could influence our ability to sell our products in these international markets; and

Restrictions on the transfer of funds between the United States and foreign jurisdictions.

Risks Related to Our Industry

Our sales are heavily influenced by general economic cycles.

Apparel is a cyclical industry that is heavily dependent upon the overall level of consumer spending. Purchases of apparel and related goods tend to be highly correlated with cycles in the disposable income of our consumers. Our customers anticipate and respond to adverse changes in economic conditions and uncertainty by reducing inventories and canceling orders. As a result, any substantial deterioration in general economic conditions, increases in interest rates, acts of war, terrorist or political events that diminish consumer spending and confidence in any of the regions in which we compete, could reduce our sales and adversely affect our business and financial condition.

Our business is highly competitive and depends on consumer spending patterns.

The apparel industry is highly competitive. We face a variety of competitive challenges including:

anticipating and quickly responding to changing consumer demands;

developing innovative, high-quality products in sizes and styles that appeal to consumers;

competitively pricing our products and achieving customer perception of value; and

the need to provide strong and effective marketing support.

We must successfully gauge fashion trends and changing consumer preferences to succeed.

Our success is largely dependent upon our ability to gauge the fashion tastes of our customers and to provide merchandise that satisfies retail and customer demand in a timely manner. The apparel business fluctuates according to changes in consumer preferences dictated in part by fashion and season. To the extent we misjudge the market for our merchandise, our sales may be adversely affected. Our ability to anticipate and effectively respond to changing fashion trends depends in part on our ability to attract and retain key personnel in our design, merchandising and marketing staff. Competition for these personnel is intense, and we cannot be sure that we will be able to attract and retain a sufficient number of qualified personnel in future periods.

Our business may be subject to seasonal trends resulting in fluctuations in our quarterly results, which could cause uncertainty about our future performance and harm our results of operations.

In the experience of our management, operating results in the high end fashion denim industry have been subject to seasonal trends when measured on a quarterly basis. These trends are dependent on numerous factors, including:

the markets in which we operate;

holiday seasons;

consumer demand;

climate;

economic conditions; and

numerous other factors beyond our control.

Difficulty in managing anticipated growth could have a material adverse impact on our business and operating results.

We anticipate growing our business in part through the acquisition of additional companies and/or license of additional brands depending upon a company’s and/or a brand’s sales revenues, name and brand recognition, and/or synergies with our existing brands. The acquisition and integration of these businesses and or brands will be complex and time and resource-consuming, and our management will have to dedicate substantial effort to it. These efforts could divert management’s focus and resources from other strategic opportunities and from operational matters during the integration process, which could adversely impact our business and operating results.

Other Risks Related to our Stock

If we are not able to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements, our shares may be removed from listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

On November 12, 2007 we were advised by the NASDAQ Capital Market that we were non-compliant with the minimum bid price listing requirement and we were afforded an opportunity to submit a plan to the NASDAQ Capital Market regarding the steps that we would take to regain compliance. Failure to submit a plan that is acceptable to the NASDAQ Capital Market or failure to make progress consistent with any accepted plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing standards could result in our common stock being delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market. We have until May 12, 2008 to regain compliance with the minimum bid price listing requirement. In addition we have suffered recurring losses and may fail to comply with other listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market. We may not be able to regain compliance with these matters within the time allowed by the NASDAQ Capital Market, and our shares of common stock may be removed from listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

Our sale of securities in any equity or debt financing could result in dilution to our stockholders and have a material adverse effect on our earnings.

Any sale of shares by us in future private placement or other offerings could result in dilution to our existing stockholders as a direct result of our issuance of additional shares of our capital stock. In addition, our business strategy may include expansion through internal growth, by acquiring complementary businesses, by acquiring or licensing additional brands, or by establishing strategic relationships with targeted customers and suppliers. In order to do so, or to fund our other activities, we may issue additional equity securities that could dilute our stockholders’ stock ownership. We may also assume additional debt and incur impairment losses related to goodwill and other tangible assets if we acquire another company and this could negatively impact our results of operations.

Insiders own a significant portion of our common stock, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to influence the outcome of key transactions.

As of April 14, 2008, our executive officers and directors beneficially owned approximately 75.8% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. As of April 14, 2008, our chairman, Paul Guez, and his affiliates collectively owned approximately 75.2% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. We also issued 1,000,000 Series A convertible preferred shares to Mr. Guez in satisfaction of $2,556,682 of advances to us by Mr. Guez. The Series A preferred shares are convertible into 3,479,899 shares of common stock and vote with our common stock on an as-converted basis on all matters presented to our stockholders. Accordingly, our executive officers and key personnel have the ability to affect the outcome of, or exert considerable influence over, all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors and any change in control. This concentration of ownership of our common stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company or otherwise discouraging or preventing a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of our company. This, in turn, could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. It could also prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the market prices for their shares of common stock.

Our stock price has been volatile.

Our common stock is quoted on the NASDAQ Capital Market, and there can be substantial volatility in the market price of our common stock. The market price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, subject to significant fluctuations due to a variety of factors, including quarterly variations in operating results, operating results which vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors, changes in financial estimates, changes in market valuations of competitors, announcements by us or our competitors of a material nature, loss of one or more customers, additions or departures of key personnel, future sales of common stock and stock market price and volume fluctuations. In addition, general political and economic conditions such as a recession, or interest rate or currency rate fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market price of our common stock. Often, price fluctuations are unrelated to operating performance of the specific companies whose stock is affected. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s stock, securities class action litigation has occurred against the issuing company. If we were subject to this type of litigation in the future, we could incur substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and earnings. Any adverse determination in this type of litigation could also subject us to significant liabilities.

Absence of dividends could reduce our attractiveness to investors.

Some investors favor companies that pay dividends, particularly in general downturns in the stock market. We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for funding growth, and we do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Because we may not pay dividends, your return on an investment in our common stock likely depends on your selling such stock at a profit.

Our Board is authorized to issue preferred stock, which may make it difficult for any party to acquire us and adversely affect the price of our common stock.

Under our articles of incorporation, our Board of Directors has the power to authorize the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares without further vote or action by the stockholders. Accordingly, our Board of Directors may issue preferred stock with terms that could have preference over and adversely affect the rights of holders of our common stock.

On November 28, 2007 we issued 1,000,000 shares of New Series A Preferred to Mr. Guez in consideration for (i) the cancellation of the $2,556,682 of advances made to us by Mr. Guez and (ii) an additional cash investment of $125,000. The shares of New Series A Preferred are convertible into 4,623,589 shares of our common stock based on a conversion formula equal to the price per share ($2.681682) divided by the conversion price ($0.58) multiplied by the total number of shares of New Series A Preferred issued, subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of the certificate of designations for the New Series A Preferred. The New Series A preferred shares accrue cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 6% of the purchase price in preference to the common stock. Upon our liquidation or dissolution the New Series A preferred shares are entitled to receive, prior to any distribution to the holders of our common stock, 100% of the purchase price plus all accrued but unpaid dividends.

The issuance of any preferred stock may:

make it difficult for any party to acquire us, even though an acquisition might be beneficial to our stockholders;

delay, defer or prevent a change in control of our company;

discourage bids for the common stock at a premium over the market price of our common stock;

adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock; and

discourage acquisition proposals or tender offers for our shares.

The provisions allowing the issuance of preferred stock could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

ITEM 2.

Properties

On April 27, 2006, we entered into a Sublease with Azteca Production International, Inc. (“Azteca”) to lease approximately 73,193 square feet of office and warehouse space located at 5804 East Slauson Avenue, Commerce, California, the location of our current principal executive offices, warehouse and distribution center. Azteca is co-owned by Mr. Guez, our Chairman. Although executed on April 27, 2006, the term of the Sublease became effective as of January 1, 2006, and will continue on a month-to-month basis with termination by either party permitted upon 90-days prior written notice. We pay monthly rent of approximately Nineteen Thousand Thirty Dollars ($19,030) to Azteca. The Sublease was approved by a majority of our Board of Directors, including all of the independent directors.

We also maintain showrooms in both Los Angeles and New York City. We pay for the use of these showrooms based on our actual use.

On August 27, 2005, we opened a retail store in Los Angeles, California and assumed all the obligations of a 10-year property lease, which was previously signed by Blue Concept, LLC, a company owned by Mr. Guez, in April, 2005. We are paying $21,840 per month for the lease of the shop space. More recently, On July 18, 2006, we entered into lease agreements with Emporium Development, L.L.C. (“Emporium”) to lease approximately 3,272 square feet of space located at 865 Market Street, San Francisco, California 94103. The term of the Sublease became effective as of July 5, 2006, and will continue for a term expiring on January 31, 2017. We will pay annual rent to Emporium ranging from $261,760 at the commencement of the term to $326,902 at the end of the term. We will also pay, as percentage rental, six percent (6%) of gross sales made in and from the premises in excess of annual breakpoints ranging from $4,362,667 at the commencement of the term to $5,448,373 at the end of the term.

Pursuant to an agreement with Shipson LLC, a California Limited Liability Company, effective on or about May 15, 2008, we will be vacating our existing space and relocating to 4901 Zambrano Street, Commerce, California 90040. Shipson LLC will replace our warehouse distribution as an outsourced third party logistics distributor. We will also occupy 5,000 square feet of office space at $0.75/square foot monthly rent ($3,750). The shipping costs will be $1.10 per garment and a cafeteria menu of additional services will be available to us if necessary.

The Company has entered into an agreement with the living trust of Paul and Elizabeth Guez, pursuant to the terms of which the Company has leased a merchandising and design facility located in Marina del Rey, California. The lease is on a “month-to-month” basis and requires that, beginning September 1, 2007, the Company pay rent at the rate of $24,000 per month. As detailed elsewhere in this document, these consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect, among other things, $96,000 of rent expense owed by the Company, which had not previously been recorded.

We believe that the facilities utilized by us are well maintained, in good operating condition and adequate to meet our current and foreseeable needs.

PART II

ITEM 7.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

The following discussion and analysis should be read together with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Blue Holdings, Inc. and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting our operating results, financial conditions and liquidity and cash-flow for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. This discussion contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and are based on judgments concerning various factors that are beyond our control. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, particularly under the caption “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” and in Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”

Overview

We design, develop, market and distribute high end fashion jeans, apparel and accessories under the brand name names Antik Denim, Yanuk, Faith Connexion and Taverniti So Jeans. We plan to also design, develop, market and distribute jeans and accessories under other brands that we may license or acquire from time to time. Our products currently include jeans, jackets, belts, purses and T-shirts. We currently sell our products in the United States, Canada, and Japan directly to department stores and boutiques and through distribution arrangements in certain foreign jurisdictions. We are headquartered in Commerce, California and maintain two showrooms in New York and Los Angeles. We opened a retail store in Los Angeles during August 2005 and another in San Francisco in September 2006. We are reviewing our strategic alternatives regarding our retail stores. These retail strategic alternatives include no action, sale, licensing, and/or possibly closing the stores. As of April 15, 2008, no determination has been made by our board of directors.

Strategic Initiatives

During the third quarter of 2007, our new Chief Executive Officer commenced the implementation of a comprehensive action plan with the following key strategic initiatives:

Extensive Brand and Business Segment Review. The first initiative was an extensive brand and business segment review. We have made significant progress and continue to aggressively refine and improve our brands. Our top priority is improving each product line by redefining and refocusing each collection. We believe that our success centers on the quality of our products and on having the most compelling and appropriate offerings for our customer and retailers, and believe that the current re-focus will be a positive step towards our future performance.

To that end, we successfully re-launched at a lower price point the Yanuk brand including categories ranging from sweats, hoodies, t-shirts, woven shirts and denim offered at $48-$125 at retail. Based on the brand’s previous success and opportunities within the status market, we believe the Yanuk brand will begin to positively impact both top and bottom line growth in the third quarter of 2008. Since the collection’s debut at the Project Show in Las Vegas on February 12, 2008, the line has been purchased by some of the country’s top retailers including Macy’s East, Macy’s South and Dillard’s and continues to be well received as a market opportunity.

Taverniti continues to perform very well at our high-end specialty stores and better department stores including Fred Segal, Intermix, Bloomingdales, and Saks Fifth Avenue. We will continue to promote the brand with Jimmy Taverniti in prominent events throughout the year.

During the fourth quarter we reached an agreement for Antik Denim at Macy’s East’s Herald Square store to sell the brand in an enhanced visual presentation with signage and mannequins. The performance and sell thru at retail has exceeded our expectations. We have been meeting with senior management to plan rolling Antik Denim into additional Macy’s doors. Additionally, our Antik Denim brand has been well received at Dillard’s. We are now featured in all Dillard’s divisions and are pleased with the current sell-throughs.

On September 24, 2007, we announced the discontinuation of our joint venture with Life & Death LLC.

Strengthen Core Business and Increase Visibility of Brands. The second initiative focused on our ongoing goal to strengthen our core business and increase visibility for all of our brands. We have realigned our business model and sales organization to ramp revenue and expand within our current distribution channels. We implemented an EDI replenishment program with our current department stores. This has become the underlining foundation for our brands’ core business which is critical in order to establish a meaningful and consistent presence in department stores. We have also enhanced product assortment, streamlined the flow of merchandise to retail distributors and reduced operating expenses.

Expense Reduction. The third initiative, in which we have made significant improvements, was a reduction in operating expenses. We reduced annual selling, general and administrative expenses by over $3.1 million or approximately 15%, and plan to reduce an additional $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2008. We also made a substantial decrease in payroll expense due to a reduction of approximately 25% of our workforce and are continuously looking for other ways to cut costs where prudent and feasible. Even though we reduced our overall workforce, we are selectively hiring personnel to fill key positions, including the newly created positions of Vice President of Merchandising and Vice President of Marketing. We are also in the process of identifying a new CFO, and expect to announce a replacement soon.

Excess Inventory Reduction. The fourth initiative was the efficient sale of our excess inventory. We are making major changes to better align inventory with demand which should positively affect our product margins. First, we are lowering our SKU count for each brand to provide a more focused and cohesive offering aligned to our financial forecast. This SKU reduction will begin to take effect with our summer deliveries, with the full impact of the initiative evident in the second half of 2008 when we roll out our fall collection. We also believe that our SKU count reduction initiative will have a cascading effect in reducing expenses throughout the entire organization, including our design, sourcing, and creative departments, as well as inventory control and administrative costs. We hope to achieve an inventory level of approximately $5-6 million by the second quarter of 2008, and going forward we are taking a far more disciplined approach to inventory.

Organizational Restructuring. The fifth initiative was a restructuring of our organization with a focus on 2008 and beyond. We have carefully evaluated our entire organization to determine where we can improve operational efficiencies and are continuously working to improve our organization. We have implemented weekly production and sales meetings, developed improved merchandising calendars and significantly improved our supply chain and operating procedures. The weekly meetings help us assess delivery performance, manage inventory, reduce costs, analyze the outbound supply chain to improve delivery costs, optimize inventory levels, and deliver on customer demand in the most cost effective way leading to the most effective and cost efficient supply chain. We have seen positive results so far.

Effective on or about May 15, 2008, we moved into an outsourced third party logistics distributor warehouse which provide us with the systems we need to obtain real-time visibility of our inventory, reporting, advanced billing management and EDI integration. This new system will better enable us to deliver products with greater efficiency and minimize potential department store compliance issues. We are also continually assessing our manufacturing and sourcing strategies, and looking at both domestic and international opportunities that will support margin improvement and drive achievable growth. Additionally, we have negotiated more efficient contracts with vendors in all areas of the organization, specifically for supplies and services, including reducing transportation expenses. We also plan to conduct extensive research on our customers to better help determine and confirm product needs and to lay the groundwork for our merchandising, creative and marketing initiatives going forward.

While we are disappointed in the lack of progress achieved in our financial internal and external reporting procedures, we will continue to aggressively allocate resources and capital to introduce new systems, reports and disciplines throughout our accounting department and other back-office functions to improve in this area.

Once the above initiatives are fully implemented, we expect increased margins since there will be fewer SKUs, less inventory, more direct sourcing and a significant reduction in promotional activity and discounting. We anticipate $1.0- $1.5 million in aggregate annual cost savings from the combination of these initiatives.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2007 (as restated) Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2006

Net sales decreased from $49.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 to $33.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007. The sales were less than during the prior year for a variety of reasons. First, the recessionary national economic climate coupled with the weak premium denim market sales resulted in reduced sales during the year ended December 31, 2007. Additionally, our international sales also experienced weakness, decreasing from 23% in 2006 to 18% during the year ended December 31, 2007.

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2007 decreased to $9.8 million from $13.1 million during the prior year. The decrease in gross profit was due to reduced sales during the year ended December 31, 2007. However, the Company’s gross margin percentage was improved, totaling 29% in 2007 as compared to 27% in 2006, due to the Company having recorded significant inventory writedowns and making large sales to discounters during 2006. Assuming that the Company can improve its sales into department stores and other traditional distribution channels, we expect our gross margin to improve to approximately 50% in the future.

Selling, distribution and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 totaled $15.7 million compared with $17.1 million for the same period last year. The principal components during the year ended December 31, 2007 were payroll of $5.1 million (compared to $6.9 million in the same period last year), professional fee expenses of $.8 million ($1.1 million in the same period of 2006), advertising and trade show expenses of $.7 million ($.6 million in the same period of 2006), rent expense of $.9 million ($.7 million in the same period of 2006), royalties of $.2 million ($1.3 million in 2006) and stock-based compensation of $.4 million ($.2 million in the same period last year). During the last two quarters of 2007, the Company made significant reductions in its selling, distribution, and administrative expenses which, based upon the Company’s calculations, will result in annual savings of approximately $3,100,000. The Company anticipates that it will be making additional reductions during 2008.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1.04 million compared to the benefit from income taxes of $0.68 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This significant change was due to the Company providing a reserve against its previously recorded deferred income tax assets in 2007.

Net Income (loss) after provision for taxes during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $(8.6 million) or (26.6) % of net sales compared to $(4.8 million) or (9.7) % of net sales during 2006. Basic and diluted loss per share decreased to $(0.33) from $(0.18) in the same period of last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company had a net loss of $8,631,943 and utilized cash of $4,046,796 in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2007, and had a stockholders’ deficiency of $2,344,261 at December 31, 2007. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty. Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph expressing doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their audit report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Our primary source of liquidity is expected to be cash flow generated from operations, cash and cash equivalents currently on hand, and working capital attainable through both our factor and our majority stockholder. We have already in 2008 sought to, and may continue to seek to, finance future capital needs through various means and channels, such as issuance of long-term debt or sale of equity securities.

On March 5, 2008, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor pursuant to which we issued an aggregate of $2.0 million of thirty-month senior secured convertible notes, and five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 875,000 shares, to the investor. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, we may issue additional convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,000,000 and additional warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 437,500 shares of common stock. The convertible notes carry interest at 8% per annum on the unpaid/unconverted principal balance, and are secured on a second priority basis against all of our assets. One-twenty-fourth of the principal amount of the convertible notes, and accrued but unpaid interest, are due and payable monthly in 24 installments beginning on first day of each calendar month, commencing on the first day of the first full calendar month occurring after the date which is six months following the original issue date. These installment payments can be made in cash or through the issuance of stock provided that certain equity conditions (as further set forth in the convertible notes) are met. The convertible notes are convertible into approximately 2,500,000 shares of common stock, based on a conversion price equal to $0.80 per share. The additional convertible notes issuable pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement would be convertible into an aggregate maximum of an additional 1,250,000 shares of common stock based on a conversion price of $0.80 per share.

In conjunction with the issuance of the senior secured convertible notes discussed above, our majority stockholder converted $1.4 million of net advances made to us, subsequent to December 31, 2007, into 1,750,000 shares of our common stock. The conversion price was $0.80 per share, which represented the market price on the date of conversion. Pursuant to our settlement with Mr. Guez regarding disputed related party amounts, we have agreed to rescind Mr. Guez’s conversion of $1.4 million of net advances made to us into 1,750,000 shares of our common stock, Mr. Guez will forgive $700,000 of indebtedness under our line of credit with him (described below), we will issue an 8% Senior Secured Convertible Note with a 30-month term and a per share conversion price of $0.40 to Mr. Guez in the principal amount of approximately $1,618,093 in settlement of all amounts owed to Mr. Guez and his affiliates as of the date of the settlement (other than certain amounts outside of the line of credit accrued during fiscal 2008 and set forth in the settlement agreement), we will issue a Warrant to Mr. Guez to purchase 1,415,832 shares of our common stock at a per share exercise price of $0.40 and a term of 5 years, and we, along with Mr. Guez, will mutually release each other from existing claims.

From time to time, Mr. Guez made advances to us to support our working capital needs. These advances were non-interest bearing. On July 1, 2006, Mr. Guez converted the advances to a line of credit in an agreement with us. The line of credit allows us to borrow from him up to a maximum of $3 million at an annual interest rate of 6%. We may repay the advances in full or in part at any time until the credit line expires. On April 15, 2008, we agreed with Mr. Guez to extend the expiration date of the credit line to December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2007, the balance of these advances, as restated, was $1.4 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, net cash used in operating activities was $(4.0 million). The deficit was primarily due to an increase of $3.9 million in inventory and a net loss of $8.9 million, which was partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $6.0 million, as well as a decrease in deferred income taxes of $1.3 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.6 million due to an increase in short-term borrowings by $2.5 million and advances from our majority stockholder of $2.1 million.

Taverniti is the exclusive licensee for the design, development, manufacture, sale, marketing and distribution of the Taverniti So Jeans trademark in the denim and knit sportswear categories for men and women. It is obligated to pay royalties to Taverniti Holdings, LLC in the ranges of 5-8 percent depending on the net sales of the licensed products pursuant to a license agreement with Taverniti Holdings, LLC. Taverniti Holdings, LLC is jointly owned by Paul Guez (60%) and Jimmy Taverniti (40%), the designer of the products for the brand, and Mr. Guez is the sole manager. The license agreement was signed in May 2004 and expires on December 31, 2015. No royalties were paid or payable for the year ended December 31, 2007, as Taverniti Holdings, LLC waived royalties for that year. Royalties paid or payable for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $1,053,263, of which total $98,000 was forgiven during 2007 and was credited to Additional Paid in Capital. We are also currently in negotiations with our majority stockholder to sell to us his interest in the trademarks Yanuk and Taverniti So Jeans.

We use a factor, FTC Commercial Corp., for working capital and credit administration purposes. Under the various factoring agreements entered into separately by our company, Antik and Taverniti, the factor purchases all the trade accounts receivable assigned by us and assumes all credit risk with respect to those accounts approved by it.

The factor agreements provide that we can obtain an amount up to 90% of the value of our purchased customer invoices, less a reserve of 10% of unpaid accounts purchased and 100% of all accounts that are disputed. The factor agreements provide for the automatic renewal of the agreements The factor also makes available to all three companies a combined line of credit up to the lesser of $2.4 million and 50% of the value of eligible raw materials and finished goods. As of December 31, 2007, advances under this line of credit were $12.6 million, of which we drew down $2.4 of this credit line against inventory, $4.3 million against accounts receivable and $5.9 million against personal guarantees of Paul Guez, our Chairman and majority stockholder, and the living trust of Paul and Elizabeth Guez. We have pledged to the factor an anticipated income tax refund of approximately $1,400,000 and purchase orders in the amount of approximately $2,500,000, and have agreed to make monthly payments of $250,000 to reduce amounts outstanding under our factor agreements.

As of December 31, 2007, the factor held $2,067,997 of accounts receivable purchased from us on a without recourse basis and has made advances to us of $1,800,000 against those receivables, resulting in a net balance amount Due from Factor of $94,194, net of reserves of $173,803, as of December 31, 2007. We have accounted for the sale of receivables to the factor in accordance with SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for the Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.”

As of December 31, 2007, the factor also held as collateral $2,191,841 of accounts receivable that were subject to recourse, against which we have provided reserves of $523,343 and as of December 31, 2007, we received advances totaling $12,582,129 against such receivables, eligible inventory, intangibles, and on the personal guarantee of Mr. Paul Guez our Chairman and majority stockholder, and the living trust of Paul and Elizabeth Guez. We have included the $1,668,498 in accounts receivable, and have reflected the $12,582,129 as short term borrowings on the accompanying balance sheet. The factor commission against such receivables is 0.4% and interest is charged at the rate of 1% over the factor’s prime lending rate per annum.

The factor commission on receivables purchased on a without recourse basis is 0.75% if the aggregate amount of approved invoices is below $10 million per annum, 0.70% if between $10 million and $20 million and 0.65% if between $20 million and $30 million. We are contingently liable to the factor for merchandise disputes, customer claims and the like on receivables sold to the factor. To the extent that we draw funds prior to the deemed collection date of the accounts receivable sold to the factor, interest is charged at the rate of 1% over the factor’s prime lending rate per annum. Factor advances are collateralized by the non-factored accounts receivable, inventories and the personal guarantees of Paul Guez, our Chairman and majority stockholder, and the living trust of Paul and Elizabeth Guez (see note 6).

Critical Accounting Policies

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates, including those related to returns, discounts, bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, contingencies and litigations. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue

Revenue is recognized when merchandise has been shipped against a customer’s written purchase order, the risk of ownership has passed, selling price has been fixed and determined and collectibility is reasonably assured either through payment received, or fulfillment of all the terms and conditions of the particular purchase order. Revenue is recorded net of estimated returns, charge backs and markdowns based on management’s estimates and historical experience.

Accounts Receivable - Allowance for Returns, Discounts and Bad Debts

We evaluate our ability to collect accounts receivable and the circumstances surrounding chargebacks (disputes from the customer) based upon a combination of factors. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations (such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or substantial downgrading by credit sources), a specific reserve for bad debts is taken against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. For all other customers, we recognize reserves for bad debts and uncollectible chargebacks based on our historical collection experience. If our collection experience deteriorates (for example, due to an unexpected material adverse change in a major customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations to us), the estimates of the recoverability of amounts due could be reduced by a material amount.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Developments

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 provides a common definition of fair value and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in generally accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS No. 157 also requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and to interim periods within those fiscal years.

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities * Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS 159). SFAS 159, which becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2008, permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses in earnings. Such accounting is optional and is generally to be applied instrument by instrument.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations” (FAS 141(R)), which establishes accounting principles and disclosure requirements for all transactions in which a company obtains control over another business. SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require that the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity; the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; and changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently. SFAS No. 160 also requires that any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also sets forth the disclosure requirements to identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 160 must be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure requirements are applied retrospectively for all periods presented.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to off-balance sheet risk consist of factored accounts receivable. The Company sells certain of its trade accounts receivable to a factor and is contingently liable to the factor for merchandise disputes and other customer claims. As of December 31, 2007, the factor holds $2,067,997 of accounts receivable purchased from us on a without recourse basis and has made advances to us of $1,800,000 against those receivables, resulting in a net balance amount Due from Factor of $94,194 net of reserves of $173,803, as of December 31, 2007. The Company has accounted for the sale of receivables to the factor in accordance with SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for the Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.”

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Blue Holdings, Inc.

Commerce, California

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Blue Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 (as restated) and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 (as restated) and 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 audits 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 consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Blue Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company incurred a loss from operations during the year ended December 31, 2007 and has a working capital and stockholders’ deficiency as of that date. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As discussed in Note 1(e), “Restatements of Consolidated Financial Statements” to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its 2007 consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION, ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

(a) Organization:

Blue Holdings, Inc. (a Nevada corporation formerly known as Marine Jet Technology Corp.) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 9, 2000. On April 14, 2005, Blue Holdings entered into an Exchange Agreement with Antik Denim, LLC (“Antik”). At the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, which occurred on April 29, 2005, Blue Holdings acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Antik (the “Interests”) from the members of Antik, and the members contributed all of their Interests to Blue Holdings. In exchange, Blue Holdings issued to the members 843,027 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Blue Holdings (“Preferred Shares”), which, on June 7, 2005, as a result of a change to Marine Jet Technology Corp.’s name to Blue Holdings, Inc. and a 1 for 29 reverse stock split, were converted into 24,447,783 shares of Blue Holding’s common stock on a post-reverse stock split basis.

As such, immediately following the closing and upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares, the Antik members and Elizabeth Guez, our former Chief Operating Officer and wife of Paul Guez, owned approximately 95.8% of the total issued and outstanding common stock of Blue Holdings on a fully-diluted basis. Following completion of the exchange transaction, Antik became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Holdings. The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger (recapitalization) in the accompanying financial statements with Antik deemed to be the accounting acquirer, and Blue Holdings deemed to be the legal acquirer. As such the financial statements herein include those of Antik since September 13, 2004 (the date of its inception). All assets and liabilities of Marine Jet Technology Corp. were assumed by the major stockholder of Blue Holdings, Inc. prior to the exchange transaction and were inconsequential to the merged companies.

On June 7, 2005, Marine Jet Technology Corp. changed its name to Blue Holdings, Inc., and increased its authorized number of shares of common stock to 75,000,000. On October 31, 2005, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with Taverniti So Jeans, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Taverniti”), and the members of Taverniti (the “Taverniti Members”). Under the exchange agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Taverniti (the “Taverniti Interests”) from the Taverniti Members, and the Taverniti Members contributed all of their Taverniti Interests to the Company. In exchange, the Company issued to the Taverniti Members, on a pro rata basis, an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company, and paid to the Taverniti Members, on a pro rata basis, an aggregate of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000). At the closing of the exchange transaction, Taverniti became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Paul Guez, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President and majority stockholder, was and remains the sole manager and was a member of Taverniti. Elizabeth Guez, Paul Guez’s spouse and the Company’s former Chief Operating Officer, was a member of Taverniti. Two other members of Mr. and Mrs. Guez’s family, including Gregory Abbou, the former President of Taverniti, were the remaining members of Taverniti. The transaction has been accounted for as a combination of entities under common control. As such, the consolidated financial statements herein have been presented to include the operations of Taverniti since September 13, 2004, the date of its inception, and the $750,000 payment was considered as a deemed distribution to the members of Taverniti upon the closing of the combination.

(b) Nature of Operations:

The Company operates exclusively in the wholesale apparel industry. The Company designs, develops, markets and distributes high fashion jeans and accessories under the brand names Antik Denim, Yanuk, Faith Connexion, and Taverniti So Jeans. The Company’s products currently include jeans, jackets, belts, purses and T-shirts. The Company currently sells its products in the United States, Canada, Japan and the European Union directly to department stores and boutiques and through distribution arrangements in certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company is headquartered in Commerce, California and maintains showrooms in New York and Los Angeles. The Company opened a retail store in Los Angeles during August 2005 and another store in San Francisco in July 2006. The retail operations are not yet significant to the consolidated operations.

(c) Going Concern:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company had a net loss of $8,631,943 and utilized cash of $4,046,796 in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2007, and had a stockholders’ deficiency of $2,344,261 as of December 31, 2007. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

The Company’s primary source of liquidity in the past was cash flow generated from operations, cash and cash equivalents currently on hand, and working capital attainable through both its factor and its majority stockholder. However, the Company is currently in an over-advance position with its factor and certain of the Company’s receivables are being directly paid to the factor until such over-advance is satisfied (See Note 3).

The Company has already in 2008 sought to, and may continue to seek to, finance future capital needs through various means and channels, such as issuance of long-term debt or sale of equity securities. On March 5, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor pursuant to which it issued an aggregate of $2.0 million of thirty-month senior secured convertible notes, and five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 875,000 shares, to the investor (see Note 15). In addition, management believes that the Company will begin to operate profitably due to improved operational results, improved margins on goods sold, and cost cutting practices. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in this regard or will be able to eliminate its stockholders deficit or operating losses.

(d) Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company has restated its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007, and the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the year ending December 31, 2007.

From time to time Paul Guez, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and majority stockholder, and his spouse Elizabeth Guez made advances to the Company to support its working capital needs. These advances are part of a line of credit agreement with Mr. Guez which allows the Company to borrow from him up to a maximum of $3,000,000 at an interest rate of 6% per annum (the “Revolving Line”). The Company may repay the advances in full or in part at any time until the Revolving Line expires and repayment is required on December 31, 2008. The Company also maintains several due/to from related party accounts with Mr. Guez and his affiliated companies where funds are advanced to cover certain operating expenses. These advances are unsecured, non-interest bearing with no formal terms of repayment.

Years Ended December 31, 2007 (as restated) and 2006

In early May 2008, Mr. Guez informed the Company of claims for sums he believed were due and owing to him pursuant to advances made to and payments made on behalf of the Company during fiscal 2007 that were inaccurately recorded in the Company’s previously filed financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The Audit Committee commenced a review of these potential errors and instructed management to review the Company’s books and records to obtain a summary of transactions recorded and amounts owed per such records. These investigations revealed accounting errors in the Company’s related party accounts pertaining to payables due Mr. Guez as of December 31, 2007. These errors related to the Company not recording $1,302,842 of inventory purchased from a vendor that was directly paid for by Mr. Guez; rental expense for an office facility used by the Company that is owned by Mr. Guez in the amount of $96,000; royalty expense owed to a licensor owned by Mr. Guez in the amount of $82,138; and $528,455 of other incorrect postings made to Mr. Guez’ related party accounts. The Company has now agreed to a settlement with Mr. Guez relating to these disputed amounts.

In light of this dispute and settlement, the Audit Committee and Management of the Company have determined that the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 need to be restated due to accounting errors in the Company’s related party accounts. The effects of the settlement agreement on the previously filed 10K for the year ending December 31, 2007 are summarized as follows:

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates, including those related to returns, discounts, bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, stock compensation, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

(b) Revenue Recognition:

(c) Inventory Valuation:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

Years Ended December 31, 2007 (as restated) and 2006

(d) Advertising:

Advertising costs are expensed as of the first date the advertisements take place. Advertising expenses included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations amounted to approximately $385,000 and $561,000 in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

(e) Shipping and Handling Costs:

Freight charges are included in selling, distribution and administrative expenses in the statement of operations and were approximately $631,000 and $630,000 for 2007 and 2006, respectively.

(f) Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method at rates calculated to amortize cost over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets which range from 2 to 5 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term, or the expected lives of the assets.

Upon sale or retirement of such assets, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and gains or losses are reflected in operations. Repairs and maintenance expenditures not anticipated to extend asset lives are charged to operations as incurred.

(g) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles:

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. There were no indicators of impairment of long lived assets or intangibles based upon management’s assessment at December 31, 2007 or 2006.

(h) Concentration of Credit Risk:

Financial instruments, which potentially expose us to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, trade accounts receivable, and amounts due from our factor. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable at December 31, 2007 and 2006 is limited due to the number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion throughout the United States and abroad. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the normal course of business.

The Company’s cash balances on deposit with banks are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. The Company may be exposed to risk for the amounts of funds held in one bank in excess of the insurance limit. In assessing the risk, the Company’s policy is to maintain cash balances with high quality financial institutions.

The Company’s products are primarily sold to department stores and specialty retail stores. The Company may at times sell its excess inventories to off price discounters. These customers can be significantly affected by changes in economic, competitive or other factors. The Company makes substantial sales to a relatively few, large customers. In order to minimize the risk of loss, the Company assigns certain amount of domestic accounts receivable to a factor without recourse or requires letters of credit from its customers prior to the shipment of goods. For non-factored receivables, account-monitoring procedures are utilized to minimize the risk of loss. Collateral is generally not required.

Years Ended December 31, 2007 (as restated) and 2006

(i) Major Customers:

During 2007 no single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total sales. International sales accounted for approximately 18% of total sales for the year, including Japan which accounted for 10% of total sales. As of December 31, 2007, three customers accounted for 15%, 13% and 11% of total accounts receivable.

During 2006 two customers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s sales. Sales to those customers were 16% and 12%, respectively. International sales accounted for approximately 23% of the Company’s sales during year ended December 31, 2006, including Japan which accounted for 14% of our total sales. As of December 31, 2006, one customer accounted for 42% of total accounts receivable.

(j) Major Suppliers:

We purchase fabric, thread and other raw materials from various industry suppliers within the United States and abroad. We do not currently have any long-term agreements in place for such raw materials, which are available from a large number of suppliers worldwide. During 2007 two suppliers, individually, accounted for more than 10% of total purchases. Purchases from these suppliers totaled 20% and 11%, respectively. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006 accounts payable to these two suppliers totaled $500,758 and $213,410, respectively.

During 2006 one supplier accounted for more than 10% of our purchases. Purchases from that supplier were 10% and the amount due to that supplier was $144,842 as of December 31, 2006.

(k) Merchandise Risk:

The Company’s success is largely dependent upon its ability to gauge the fashion tastes of its targeted consumers and provide merchandise that satisfies consumer demand. Any inability to provide appropriate merchandise in sufficient quantities in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

(l) Accounts Receivable - Allowance for Returns, Discounts and Bad Debts:

The Company evaluates its ability to collect accounts receivable and the circumstances surrounding chargebacks (disputes from the customer) based upon a combination of factors. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations (such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or substantial downgrading by credit sources), a specific reserve for bad debts is taken against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. For all other customers, the Company recognizes reserves for bad debts and uncollectible chargebacks based on its historical collection experience. If collection experience deteriorates (for example, due to an unexpected material adverse change in a major customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations to the Company), the estimates of the recoverability of amounts due could be reduced by a material amount.

(m) Cash and Bank Overdraft:

Bank overdrafts of $75,764 and $266,788 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, were comprised of issued but unpresented checks, and were offset by cash at bank of $74,842 and $109,031, respectively.

(n) Income Tax:

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” Under SFAS No. 109, income taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the future tax consequences of transactions that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.

(o) Stock-Based Compensation:

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). This statement requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. This statement establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees except for equity instruments held by employee share ownership plans. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, using the modified prospective method. Under this method, the provisions of SFAS 123R apply to all awards granted or modified after the date of adoption and all previously granted awards not yet vested as of the date of adoption. Prior periods have not been restated.

The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with EITF No. 96-18: “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and EITF No. 00-18: “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees” whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.

(p) Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share”, requires presentation of basic earnings per share (“Basic EPS”) and diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”). Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. In computing diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options and warrants will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants.

Years Ended December 31, 2007 (as restated) and 2006

Options to purchase 1,084,500 and 335,500 shares of common stock and preferred stock convertible into 1,361,100 shares of common stock were outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for these periods because the Company incurred a loss during those periods, and their effect would be anti-dilutive.

(q) Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The carrying amounts of cash, due from factor, accounts receivable, accounts payable, due to (from) related parties, income-tax payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings and amounts due majority stockholder approximate fair value, because the related effective rates on those advances approximate rates currently available to the Company.

(r) Off-Balance Sheet Risk:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to off-balance sheet risk consist of factored accounts receivable. As described in Note 3, the Company sells certain of its trade accounts receivable to a factor and is contingently liable to the factor for merchandise disputes and other customer claims. As of December 31, 2007, the factor holds $2,067,997 of accounts receivable purchased from us on a without recourse basis and has made advances to us of $1,800,000 against those receivables, resulting in a net balance Due from Factor of $94,194, net of reserves of $173,803. As of December 31, 2006, the factor held $3,467,752 of accounts receivable purchased from us on a without recourse basis and has made advances to us of $1,922,363 against those receivables, resulting in a net balance amount Due from Factor of $1,366,588 net of reserves of $178,801.

(s) Retail Sales:

During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, retail store sales were $859,694 and $663,700, respectively.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations” (FAS 141(R)), which establishes accounting principles and disclosure requirements for all transactions in which a company obtains control over another business. Statement 141 (R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited.

The Company does not believe that the adoption of the above recent pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

NOTE 3 – DUE FROM FACTOR

The Company uses a factor for working capital and credit administration purposes. Under the various factoring agreements entered into separately by Blue Holdings, Antik Denim, LLC and Taverniti So Jeans, LLC, the factor purchases all the trade accounts receivable assigned by the Company and its subsidiaries and assumes all credit risk with respect to those accounts approved by it.

The factor agreements provide that the Company can borrow up to 90% of the value of uncollected customer invoices, less a reserve 100% of all such accounts disputed by customers. The factor agreements renew automatically, subject to 120 days’ termination notice from any party. The factor also makes available to a combined line of credit up to the lesser of $2.4 million and 50% of the value of eligible raw materials and finished goods. As of December 31, 2007, borrowings under this line of credit were $12.6 million of which, the Company drew down $2.4 million of this credit line against inventory, $4.3 million against accounts receivable and $5.9 million against personal guarantees of Paul Guez, our Chairman and majority stockholder, and the living trust of Paul and Elizabeth Guez. The Company has also pledged to the factor an anticipated income tax refund of approximately $1,200,000 and approximately $2,500,000 in purchase orders, and has agreed to make monthly payments of $250,000 to reduce amounts outstanding under the factor agreements.
