The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 9, 2004, as Arch Management Services Inc.  A change of control of the Company occurred on June 5, 2006 and the Company changed its name from “Arch Management Services Inc.” to “Tiger Ethanol International Inc.” on November 24, 2006.  On February 11, 2008, the Company changed its name to “Tiger Renewable Energy Ltd.”  Another change of control of the Company occurred on June 4, 2009.  On August 10, 2009, the Company changed its name to “Cono Italiano, Inc.” and its symbol changed to CNOZ.
 
 
The Company was previously party to a joint venture named Xinjiang Yajia Distillate Company Limited (the “Venture”) to produce ethanol in the People’s Republic of China.  The Company’s board of directors determined that it was in the Company’s best interest to initiate a withdrawal from the ethanol business as of January 31, 2009 and assess alternative businesses.

 
On June 4, 2009 an Affiliate Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) was entered into by and between Gallant Energy International Inc. (“Gallant”), the owner of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (prior to the Company’s one for sixty reverse stock split) and Lara Mac Inc. (“Lara Mac”), an entity controlled by Mitchell Brown (now the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors).  Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Gallant sold all of its 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Lara Mac.  The Gallant transaction with Lara Mac resulted in a change in control of the largest voting block of the Company effective as of June 4, 2009.

 
Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Board appointed five individuals to fill vacancies on the Board.  These new directors commenced their service on June 19, 2009.  The Board also appointed four new officers of the Company.

 
On August 10, 2009, the Company conducted a one for sixty reverse stock split.  As of that date, all of the existing outstanding common stock of the Company have been consolidated such that existing stockholders will hold one share of post-split common stock for every sixty shares owned prior to the reverse split.  All fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split have been rounded up to the next whole share.

 
Janex International Inc. was formed on July 6, 2007, in the State of Delaware.   On January 8, 2008 Janex International Inc., changed its name to Cono Italiano, Inc (Delaware).

 
Cono Italiano, LLC (Cono, LLC) was formed on June 27, 2007 as a limited liability company in the State of New Jersey.  Cono, LLC had no operations and its primary assets were the license rights to manufacture, market, and distribute “pizza cono”, a unique pizza style food product.

Merger and Recapitalization
 
 
In March 2007, the license rights held by the individual founders of Cono, LLC were sold to The Total Luxury Group (TLG), an unrelated entity.  On January 8, 2008 the license rights were transferred to Mitchell Brown for the total consideration of $312,000.  The transfer of Cono, LLC (which includes the license rights) was effected in settlement of an obligation due to Mitchell Brown by TLG.

 
On January 14, 2008, Cono, LLC was sold to Cono, Inc. (Delaware) for the total consideration of $426,000.  In exchange for the 100% interest in Cono, LLC, the sole member of the LLC received 6,000,000 shares of Cono, Inc. (Delaware) valued at $114,000 and was issued a promissory note for $312,000.  Mitchell Brown is also a principal stockholder in Cono, Inc. (Delaware).

 
The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of Cono, Inc. and Cono, LLC; as both companies were under common control.  As such, the assets and liabilities of Cono, LLC were carried over to Cono, Inc. (Delaware) at the historical carrying values.

 
At the time of the sale of Cono, LLC to Cono, Inc. (Delaware), Cono LLC had a tangible net book value of $114,700. Since the assets and liabilities of Cono, LLC were recorded at their historical carrying amounts after the merger and recapitalization, the excess of the consideration paid of $426,000 over the carrying value of $114,700 had been recorded as a distribution to the stockholder.

 
On November 12, 2009 Cono Inc. (Delaware) entered into a share exchange agreement whereby Cono Inc. (Delaware) would exchange all of its common stock for the stock of Tiger Renewable Energy, Inc. (TRE) (a shell company) on a share for share basis. Prior to entering into the share exchange agreement, the principal stockholder of Cono Inc. (Delaware) became a stockholder of TRE, either through direct ownership or through an entity in which he controlled, effectively gaining control of TRE, and on August 10, 2009, TRE changed its name to Cono Italiano, Inc., a Nevada corporation.   As an inducement for Cono (Delaware) to enter the share exchange agreement, TRE’s largest shareholder has agreed to the cancellation of 242,557 shares of Cono (Nevada) stock.

 
The exchange of shares between Cono Italiano, Inc., (Delaware) and Cono Italiano, Inc., (Nevada) was accounted for as a recapitalization of the Companies, as the majority stockholder of Cono Italiano, Inc. will be the majority stockholder of the surviving company.  Pursuant to the accounting for a recapitalization, the historical carrying value of the assets and liabilities of Cono, Inc. (Nevada) will carry over to the surviving company.

 
Effective at the closing of the share exchange transactions, November 12, 2009, Cono (Delaware) became a wholly owned subsidiary of Cono (Nevada).

Note B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
 
Basis of Presentation
 
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements of Cono Italiano, Inc. (the “Company”) included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conjunction with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s registration statement on Form 10-K, and other reports filed with the SEC.

 
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented.  The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily comparable to, or indicative of, results of any other interim period or for the fiscal year taken as a whole.  Certain information that is not required for interim financial reporting purposes has been omitted.

Note B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued
 
 
Development Stage
 
 
The Company has operated as a development stage enterprise since its inception by devoting substantially all of its efforts to financial planning, raising capital, research and development, and developing markets for its services.  The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with the requirements of FSAB ASC 915, “Development Stage Entities.”

 
Income Taxes
 
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” using the asset and liability approach, which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of such assets and liabilities.  This method utilizes enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse and gives immediate effect to changes in income tax rates upon enactment.  Deferred tax assets are recognized, net of any valuation allowance, for temporary differences and net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.  Deferred income tax expense represents the change in net deferred assets and liability balances.

 
Earnings per Share
 
 
Earnings per share of common stock are computed in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”.  Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each period.  Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive stock options, warrants and convertible securities, if dilutive. Common stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive are excluded from both diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding and diluted earnings per share.

 
Use of Estimates
 
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair value of Financial Instruments
 
 
Prepaid expenses, accrued expenses, notes payable, and amounts due to and from related parties are carried in the financial statements at amounts which approximate fair value.

 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
 
Stock-based compensation related to non-employees is recognized based on service provided in the accompanying statements of operations and is based on the fair value of the services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more readily determinable. The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of FASB ASC 505, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees”. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.

Note C - Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updated (ASU) No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which amends ASC 820, “Fair Value Measures and Disclosures.”  ASU No. 2010-06 amends the ASC to require disclosure of transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and also require more detailed disclosure about the activity within Level 3 fair value measurements.  The changes to the ASC as a result of this update are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 (January 1, 2010 for the Company), except for the requirements related to Level 3 disclosures, which are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 (January 1, 2011 for the Company).  This guidance requires new disclosures only, and had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note J - Income Tax Compliance
 
 
The Company is not in compliance with filing its required income tax returns.  Since the Company has had continuous losses and has available net operating losses, the Company believes that any tax liability would not be material. Deferred taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax reporting basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities.  The temporary differences between financial reporting and income tax purposes are primarily net operating loss carry forwards for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is recorded for deferred tax assets when management determines it is more likely than not, that such assets, will not be realized.

A full valuation allowance has been established against the deferred tax assets for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 as utilization of the loss carry forwards and realization of other deferred tax assets cannot be reasonably assured.
 
Note  K - Other Matters
 
 
On November 6, 2009, Cono Italiano (Delaware) entered into a Commitment Letter, pursuant to which, one of the Company’s shareholders, Lara Mac has agreed to provide financing to Cono Italiano, Inc., with such funds as the Company’s Board of Directors shall deem to be sufficient to maintain the Company’s ordinary course of business operations (the “Commitment Amount”).  We may draw on the Commitment Amount in monthly tranches in accordance with our operating requirements as set forth in our business plan. The available Commitment Amount will be reduced by the aggregate cash proceeds received by the Company which are derived from the issuance of any equity securities and Company gross revenues. Draws on the Commitment Amount will be made on terms of unsecured notes, with interest set on each note as of the date of the draw at prime rate plus two percent per annum. The notes will mature and become repayable thirty calendar days after demand at any time following the earlier of (a) December 31, 2010 or (b) the date upon which we are in receipt of revenues or proceeds from the sales of equity securities. We will give Lara Mac customary representations and warranties regarding the good standing of our Company and status of progress in respect of our Company business plan prior to each draw on the Commitment Amount, and we will provide certifications and covenants regarding use of proceeds of each draw, which will be in customary forms reasonably requested by Lara Mac as determined by reference to similar lenders making similar loans to similar companies. Lara Mac will not be required to make any loans under the Commitment Amount to us if we are unable to make the representations, warranties, certifications or covenants, or if we are in breach of any previously given representations, warranties, certifications or covenants. If we breach any of the notes, the default rate will be 15% per annum and Lara Mac may seek recourse against our company for repayment of all of the notes. As of September 30, 2011, no funds have been borrowed.

On August 1, 2010, Cono Italiano (Delaware) entered into a manufacturing agreement with Interstate Caterers for the purposes of manufacturing, producing and distributing “pizza cono”.  The term of the agreement shall continue in force and effect unless terminated by either party.  Cono will lease to Interstate equipment required for the manufacture of the product for $1 per year.  All equipment will remain the property of Cono and upon termination of the agreement be returned to Cono by Interstate.
 
 
In addition to this agreement Cono issued 100,000 shares of common stock to the 2 sole stockholders of Interstate in exchange for the use of Interstate’s facility for 1 (one) year at an approximate value of $36,000 for the calendar year 2011, included in prepaid expenses.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, $27,000 has been expensed to rent.  This agreement was superseded in September 2011 by another agreement with Interstate Caterers (See below) .
 
 
On July 11, 2011 the Company signed a subscription agreement with an individual to purchase 4,525,640 shares of the Company’s common stock in four (4) installments of $50,000 each, totaling $200,000.  As of September 30, 2011 two (2) of the four installments had been received totaling $100,000.  The Company has not issued the 2,262,820 shares of common stock that are due to the individual for his investment, therefore, stock subscription receivable is $100,000 at September 30, 2011.

 
On September 7, 2011 the Company entered into a manufacturing agreement with Interstate Caterers for the purposes of manufacturing, producing and distributing “pizza cono”. As consideration for Interstate entering into the agreement, the Company agreed to issue 3,500,000 shares of its restricted common stock upon the execution of the agreement. As of September 30, 2011 the stock had not been issued.  As consideration for Interstate’s services under the agreement, Interstate will receive seventy percent (70%) of the difference between the sales price for the product less direct manufacturing costs for such product, regardless of whether the Company or Interstate initiated the sales of such product. In addition, the Company will lease to Interstate certain equipment to be used in the manufacture of the Cono products for $1.00 per year.
 
 
The term of the agreement is for a period of ten years commencing on September 7, 2011, the execution date of the agreement, and automatically renews for one additional ten-year period unless either the Company or Interstate provides the other notice of its intention to not renew at least thirty days prior to the end of the Initial Term.  The agreement may be earlier terminated at any time by the mutual consent of the Company and Interstate.  The Company may unilaterally terminate the agreement based on, among other things, Interstate’s non-performance in accordance with the Company’s specifications.  In addition, Interstate indemnifies the Company against third party claims based on alleged product defects.

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

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by Cono Italiano, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof.  When used in the filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements.  Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).  These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments, and assumptions are made.  These estimates, judgments, and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates

Plan of Operation
 
On September 7, 2011, we entered into a strategic manufacturing agreement (the “Agreement”) with Interstate Caterers (“Interstate”) and continue moving forward with the production and distribution of our frozen foods and Pizza Cono. We have fulfilled our obligations pertaining to the Agreement and expect our first shipment of products to be delivered by the end of the Fourth Quarter 2011. Additionally, we expect to start sales of our products in the Fourth Quarter 2011.  We plan to fund the manufacturing process of these products through the use of private funding and resources provided by Interstate.

In November 2011, we, together with our manufacturing partner, completed construction on our UDSA and FDA approved facility for our Pizza Cono and new line of frozen foods. Additionally, we purchased the balance of equipment required to produce our filled cones and frozen foods. We anticipate production, sales and delivery beginning in the Fourth Quarter of 2011.
 
This equipment will enable Cono Italiano, Inc., to produce a frozen cone filled with a variety of toppings by using an automated filling line. We expect to be the sole producer of frozen filled cones made in the United States with USDA and FDA approval. We believe this will provide us with an advantage over our competitors in the market place.
 
In addition, we plan to introduce a new line of frozen foods in December 2011 and anticipate generating revenue from these products in the Fourth Quarter of 2011.We project products from this line to produce substantial revenue in 2012 and beyond. We intend to formally announce the launch of this line of products in December of 2011.

Results of Operation

For the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010

Draws on the Commitment Amount will be made on terms of unsecured notes, with interest set on each note as of the date of the draw at prime rate plus two percent per annum. The notes will mature and become repayable thirty calendar days after demand at any time following the earlier of (a) December 31, 2010 or (b) the date upon which we are in receipt of revenues or proceeds from the sales of equity securities. We will give Lara Mac customary representations and warranties regarding the good standing of our Company and status of progress in respect of our Company business plan prior to each draw on the Commitment Amount, and we will provide certifications and covenants regarding use of proceeds of each draw, which will be in customary forms reasonably requested by Lara Mac as determined by reference to similar lenders making similar loans to similar companies. Lara Mac will not be required to make any loans under the Commitment Amount to us if we are unable to make the representations, warranties, certifications or covenants, or if we are in breach of any previously given representations, warranties, certifications or covenants. If we breach any of the notes, the default rate will be 15% per annum and Lara Mac may seek recourse against our company for repayment of all of the notes. As of September 30, 2011, there had been no borrowings under the Commitment Letter.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures. Though we evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, our actual results may differ from these estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updated (ASU) No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which amends ASC 820, “Fair Value Measures and Disclosures.”  ASU No. 2010-06 amends the ASC to require disclosure of transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and also require more detailed disclosure about the activity within Level 3 fair value measurements.  The changes to the ASC as a result of this update are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 (January 1, 2010 for the Company), except for the requirements related to Level 3 disclosures, which are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 (January 1, 2011 for the Company).  This guidance requires new disclosures only, and had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation related to non-employees is recognized as compensation expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and is based on the fair value of the services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more readily determinable. The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of FASB ASC 505, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees.” The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and this information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management identified a material weakness (as defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Standard No. 2) in our internal control over financial reporting regarding a lack of adequate segregation of duties and concluded that such controls were not effective as of September 30, 2011.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company is in the process of improving its internal control over financial reporting in an effort to remediate this material weakness by improving period-end closing procedures and requiring all period-end recurring and non-recurring adjustments be reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer.

As of September 30, 2011, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
