NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
(UNAUDITED)

1.
Basis of presentation:

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2011.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.

Accounting standards have been issued or proposed by the FASB and other standards-setting bodies that are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2011 upon adoption.

2.
Description of business and going concern:

The Company was a manufacturer of baking and confectionery products, which were sold to supermarkets, food distributors, educational institutions, restaurants, mail order and to the public. Although the Company sold its products throughout the United States, its main customer base was on the East Coast of the United States. The Company has now become a holder and licensor of intellectual property.

The accompanying financial statements are prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. At September 30, 2011, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $13,624,020, and a working capital deficiency of $42,491. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company incurred a net loss from operations of $16,730 and had negative cash flows from operations in the amount of $15,163. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon increasing licensing fees and obtaining additional capital and financing. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to increase licensing fees and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect.

3.
Summary of significant accounting policies:

Cash and cash equivalents:
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable and allowances:
Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value. Management considers the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts related to its accounts receivable that are deemed to have potential collectability issues. Management reviews its accounts receivable on a quarterly basis. The Company includes any receivables balances determined to be uncollectible along with a general reserve for doubtful accounts. No allowance was considered necessary at September 30, 2011.

Use of estimates:
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

3.
Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):

Net (Loss) Income per Share:
The Company computes basic net (loss) income per share based on the weighted average common shares outstanding during the same period. Diluted net (loss) income per share adjusts the weighted average for potential dilution 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, which would then share in the earnings of the Company. At September 30, 2011, the Company had no such securities outstanding.

Revenue Recognition:
Income from licensing fees are recognized from the sale by our licensee of goods bearing the Brooklyn Cheesecake & Desserts Company, Inc. trademark. The Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Income Taxes:
Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax asset and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than changes in the tax law or rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is deemed more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. The recoverability of assets held and used in operations is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. 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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The Company’s financial instruments consist of, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and notes payable. The carrying amounts of the financial instruments reported in the balance sheet approximate fair value based on the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Recent accounting pronouncements:
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. ASU 2010-20 requires additional disclosures about the credit quality of a company’s loans and the allowance for loan losses held against those loans. Company will need to disaggregate new and existing disclosures based on how it develops its allowance for loan losses and how it manages credit exposures. Additional disclosure is also required about the credit quality indicators of loans by class at the end of the reporting period, the aging of the past due loans, information about troubled debt restructurings, and significant purchases and sales of loans during the reporting period by class. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company anticipates that adoption of these additional disclosures will not have a material effect on its financial position of results of operations.

In September 2011, the FASB amended its guidance regarding the disclosure requirements for employers participating in multiemployer pension and other postretirement benefit plans (multiemployer plans) to improve transparency and increase awareness of the commitments and risks involved with participation in multiemployer plans. The new accounting guidance requires employers participating in multiemployer plans to provide additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures to provide users with more detailed information regarding an employer’s involvement in multiemployer plans. The provisions of this new guidance are effective for annual periods beginning with the fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The company anticipates that adoption of these additional disclosures will not have a material effect on our financial statements.

3.
Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):
 
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)-Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The company does not anticipate the provisions of ASU 2011-08 will have a material effect on our financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

4.
Trademark and licensing agreements:

On March 7, 2002, the Company purchased the rights to the trademarks Brooklyn Cheesecake Company, Inc. and Brooklyn Cheesecake and Desserts Company, Inc. and the related corporate logo in exchange for 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock, valued on the purchase date at $90,000. The trademark rights are being amortized on the straight-line basis over a fifteen-year term. Amortization expense was $4,500 and $4,500 for the nine months September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

On March 28, 2006, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with its former Chairman and CEO, whereby a one percent of sales fee would be charged for the use of the Brooklyn Cheesecake & Desserts Company, Inc. trademarks. Licensing fees were $2,000 and $2,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Subsequent Events

For purposes of determining whether a post balance sheet event should be evaluated, to determine whether it has an effect on the financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2011, subsequent events were evaluated by the company through the date on which the unaudited financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2011 were issued. No events or transactions require adjustment to, or disclosure in the financial statements.

Forward Looking Statements
 
           This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events.  These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” ”believe,” “estimate,” ”continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions.  Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10K  filed on February 28, 2011.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

 
Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

  From March 2002 through March 2006, we were a manufacturer of baking and confectionary products.  In March 2006, we entered into an Exchange Agreement pursuant to which we exchanged our baking equipment and other fixed assets and JM Specialties, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, for the satisfaction and assumption of approximately $1,145,000 of outstanding liabilities and obligations owed to Ronald L. Schutté, our former president and chief executive officer. We retained our trademarks and now license these trademarks to a New Jersey corporation formed by Mr. Schutté to continue the baking operations that were transferred to him pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.

We presently do not have sufficient cash to implement our business plan.

Although we are hopeful that licensing fees will increase in the future and be sufficient to pay related expenses, we will also look for additional opportunities, such as joint ventures, partnerships, strategic alliances or business combinations. The Company is not currently considering any such opportunities

On October 11, 2010, one shareholder owning 6,459,513 shares of our Common Stock, or approximately 81% of the issued and outstanding shares, consented in writing to a one (1) for seven (7) reverse split of the shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock and to an increase in the authorized shares of the Company’s capital stock.  For accounting purposes the effect of the reverse split and increase in authorized have been retroactively reflected in the financial statements included in this report.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition:

Income from licensing fees are recognized from the sale by our licensee of goods bearing the Brooklyn Cheesecake & Desserts Company, Inc. trademark.  The Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Results of Operations

 Nine and Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to the Nine and Three Months Ended September 30, 2010

Licensing fees aggregated $7,000 and $7,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. There was no change. Licensing fees for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to September 30, 2010 was $2,000 and $2,000 respectively. There was no change.

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $23,730 and $13,877 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.  The increase of $9,853 or 71% was the result of higher professional fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased to $7,556 from $7,578 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  This is a decrease of $22 or 3%.  This is a result of lower legal fees during the quarter.

Interest expense was $0 and $34,346 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.   Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $0 and $0. The decrease was a result of the debt conversion of the former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Prior to conversion, interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance at a rate of 13% per annum on the $815,000 note payable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, our only source of working capital has been the $8,455,000 received from the sale of our securities.

As of September 30, 2011, we had negative working capital of $42,491 as compared to negative working capital of $30,261 at December 31, 2010.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $15,163 was due to our net loss of $16,730 and amortization expense of $4,500.  This was offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $7,000, an increase in accounts payable of $3,236, and an increase in accrued expenses of $831.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $16,063 was due to cash advances from a stockholder , our former CEO.

Effective April 29, 2010, we entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with each of Mr. Ronald L.
Schutte, our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Anthony J. Merante our current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer pursuant to which we eliminated approximately $934,482 of our  indebtedness in exchange for the forgiveness of $23,232 owed to us and the issuance of an aggregate of 7,290,000 shares of our common stock.  These transactions helped reduce our negative working capital which we hope will increase our ability to raise the capital needed to fully implement our business plan.

Pursuant to the Debt Conversion Agreement that we entered into with Mr. Schutte: (i) we forgave accounts receivable for licensing fees due from the baking company owned by Mr. Schutte of $23,232 in exchange for a $23,232 reduction of the principal balance of the note payable to Mr. Schutte in the original principal amount of $815,000, (ii) Mr. Schutte forgave and agreed to permanently forbear on collection of the accrued but unpaid interest of $431,659 on his note payable which was recorded as a contribution to capital, and (iii) we converted the remaining principal balance of $791,768 of Mr. Schutte’s promissory note by issuing 6,334,144 shares of common stock to Mr. Schutte (the “Schutte Conversion Shares”).
 
Pursuant to the Debt Conversion Agreement that we entered into with Mr. Merante, we converted the outstanding principal balance of his indebtedness of $119,482 by issuing 955,856 shares of common stock to Mr. Merante (the “Merante Conversion Shares” and, collectively with the Schutte Conversion Shares, the “Conversion Shares”).

Inflation and Seasonality

Licensing revenue will vary since it is tied to peak baking seasons. Revenues are generally higher during holiday seasons such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Jewish New Year, Easter and Passover than they are during other times of the year.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There were no off-balance sheet arrangements during the three and nine months ended  September 30, 2011 that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our interests.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

This disclosure is not required for a smaller reporting company.

Item 4  Controls and Procedures

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

             As of  September 30, 2011, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including Anthony J. Merante, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, Mr. Merante concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS

             During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, there was no change in the issuer’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, the issuer’s internal control over financial reporting.
LIMITATIONS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. The Company conducts periodic evaluations of its internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures and controls.
