Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Acquisition of East Coast Beverage Corp.

Between November 1998 and July 1999 USA Service Systems, Inc. (the "Company") provided retail stores and manufacturers with product assembly, product demonstrations, point - of - sale product displays, and inventory counts and audits. As of July 1999 the Company had entered into letters of intent for the acquisition of four companies engaged in the same business as that conducted by the Company. However, the Company was unable to obtain approximately $4,000,000 in additional equity capital which was needed to finance these acquisitions. In July 1999 the Company essentially discontinued its business and made plans to distribute its remaining assets (having a minimal value) to George Pursglove, a former officer and director of the Company.

Effective August 31, 1999 the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of East Coast Beverage Corp. ("ECBC") in exchange for 41,300,758 shares of the Company's common stock. Immediately prior to this transaction, certain officers and directors of the Company surrendered 2,734,202 shares of the Company's common stock. Following this transaction the Company had 43,354,058 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The former shareholders of ECBC now own approximately 93% of the Company's common stock. In connection with this transaction the management of the Company resigned and was replaced by the management of ECBC.

The Company's board of directors will shortly propose that the shareholders of the Company approve (i) a change of the name of the Company to East Coast Beverage Corp. and (ii) an 8.194595-for-1 reverse split of the Company's common stock.

The business of the Company, which is conducted through ECBC, now involves the development, production and distribution of Coffee House USA(TM), a proprietary line of all natural, ready to drink ("RTD") bottled coffee drinks.

ECBC's product is more than just a cold coffee, but rather tastes like a milkshake and is marketed as such. It can be substituted at any occasion where a milkshake might be used - with a hamburger at lunch, as a stand-alone snack, etc. ECBC's iced coffee is naturally flavored and enhanced with whole milk and rich coffee bean extract. ECBC's products are all natural, low in fat, visually exciting and have a broad spectrum of flavors.

ECBC's product can be differentiated with those of competitors by its taste, advanced technological Fuji wrap and ECBC's proprietary glass container. Each of the flavors used by ECBC has gone through extensive consumer tasting and approval. ECBC's iced coffee comes in the following flavors:


Cinnamon, Mocha, Vanilla Mousse, Regular, Hazelnut, Toasted Almond, German Chocolate, and Banana's Foster

ECBC's proprietary formulas for its products are trade secrets and ECBC requires its manufacturers, employees, brokers and consultants to sign confidentiality agreements. ECBC's glass container is also proprietary and design protected.

ECBC sells its products through distributors and wholesalers to supermarkets, mass-marketers, convenience stores, drug store chains and oil company convenience stores. As of August 31, 1999 ECBC's products were being sold in 40 states.

As of September 1, 1999 ECBC had nine full time employees. ECBC plans to hire additional employees as may be required by the level of its operations.

The Company's offices now located at 1750 University Drive, Suite 117, Coral Springs, Florida 33071. The Company's new telephone number is (954) 796-8060 and its new facsimile number is (954) 796-0802.

The following is a summary of the statement of operations and balance sheet of ECBC for the six month period ending June 30, 1999.

(1) Shares were issued as part of the compensation provided in the employment agreement with this person.

Between March and May 1999 ECBC sold 1,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock to a group of private investors for $1,000,000. All Series A Preferred shares were subsequently converted into shares of ECBC's common stock. In connection with the Company's acquisition of ECBC, the former Series A Preferred Shareholders received 6,161,343 shares of the Company's common stock for which they effectively paid $0.16 per share, as adjusted for the shares received from the Company. Arnold Rosen, a principal shareholder of ECBC, together with his wife and their respective IRA accounts, purchased 520 of the Series A preferred shares.

Between May and August 1999 ECBC borrowed $1,000,000 from to Arnold Rosen, a principal shareholder and a consultant to ECBC. The loan from Mr. Rosen enabled ECBC to fund a level of operations associated with increased orders. The loans are represented by a series of convertible notes (the "Notes") which bear interest at 12% per annum and are due and payable in May 2000. The Notes originally provided Mr. Rosen with certain rights (i) with respect to payment if ECBC was sold, (ii) conversion of the notes into ECBC stock, and (iii) under certain circumstances, to a percentage of ECBC's net income.

In exchange for 250,000 shares of ECBC's common stock, which shares were subsequently exchanged for 2,048,648 shares of the Company's common stock, ECBC and Mr. Rosen agreed to the following modifications to the terms of the Notes:

o The Company will repay Mr. Rosen $400,000 plus accrued interest, prior to September 6, 1999.

o An additional $300,000 plus accrued interest, will be repaid to Mr. Rosen prior to October 15, 1999.

o The remaining $300,000, plus accrued interest, will be payable on or before April 1, 2000.

o The rights (i) to receive, under certain circumstances, a percentage interest in ECBC's net income; and (ii) to receive 150% of the unpaid principal if ECBC was sold, were terminated.

At any time after October 1, 1999 Mr. Rosen may convert up to $300,000 of the amount owed into such number of shares of the Company's common stock as may be determined by dividing the amount to be converted by $0.3355. The Company has agreed to include in any registration statement which may be filed by the Company the shares of common stock which Mr. Rosen may receive as a result of the conversion.

As of September 7, 1999 the Company has not granted any options for the purchase of its Company's common stock. The Company, however, expects to grant options to officers, directors, employees, consultants and others.

The following table sets forth the number of and percentage of outstanding shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Company's new officers and directors and those shareholders now owning more than 5% of the Company's common stock.
