NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


 

Note A - The Company

Merger and Recapitalization

 

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.

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).

 

On December 13, 2011 the Board of Directors approved increasing the authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 150,000,000.

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.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cono Italiano, Inc. (Nevada) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Cono Italiano, Inc. (Delaware) (the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Method of Accounting

 

The Company maintains its books and prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting.

 

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


 

Note B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

Accounts Receivable

 

The company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible. Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. If amounts become uncollectible they will be charged to operations when that determination is made.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer.  Transfer of title occurs and risk of ownership generally passes to a customer at the time of shipment or delivery, depending on the terms of the agreement with a particular customer.  The sale price of the Company’s products is substantially fixed or determinable at the date of sale based on purchase orders generated by a customer and accepted by the Company.  A customer is obligated to pay for products sold to it within a specified number of days from the date that title to the products is transferred to the customer.  The Company’s standard terms are typically net 30 days from the transfer of title to the products to the customer.  The Company typically expects payment from a customer within 30 to 45 days from the transfer of title to the products to a customer.  Shipping and handling costs are charged to the customer and are included in revenue.

 

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.

In a loss year, the calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share is considered to be the same, as the impact of potential common shares is anti-dilutive. At June 30, 2012, there were 4,651,395 shares that could dilute future earnings.

 

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.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

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.

 

We follow the provisions of FASB ASC 718. FASB ASC 718 requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively the vesting period). FASB ASC 718 also requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity award based upon the grant-date fair value of the award.

Note I -  Security Agreement

  

On February 27, 2012, the Company entered into a security agreement with TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP, a Cayman Islands limited partnership related to a $250,000 convertible promissory note issued by the Company in favor of TCA. The Security Agreement grants to TCA a continuing, first priority security interest in all of the Company’s assets, wheresoever located and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired. 

 

On February 27, 2012, the Company issued the Convertible Note in favor of TCA. The maturity date of the Convertible Note is February 27, 2013, and the Convertible Note bears interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. Interest will accrue monthly but is due and payable upon maturity date of note. The Convertible Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion. The Convertible Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at the Company’s option without penalty.

 

The above Convertible Note contains a beneficial conversion feature recorded as a debt discount in the amount of $13,157 which will be expensed to interest expense over the term of the note. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, $4,386 was expensed to interest expense resulting in a remaining debt discount of $8,771 and note value, net of debt discount, of $241,228 at June 30, 2012.

It is the intention of the Company and TCA that the value of the Facility Fee Shares shall equal $52,500. In the event the value of the Facility Fee Shares issued to TCA does not equal $52,500 after a nine month evaluation date, the Equity Agreement provides for an adjustment provision allowing for necessary action (either the issuance of additional shares to TCA or the return of shares previously issued to TCA to the Company’s treasury) to adjust the number of Facility Fee Shares issued. As of June 30, 2012, 998,099 shares of common stock have been issued as consideration for the Equity Facility fee and is included in Deferred Equity Financing Costs which will be netted against proceeds when shares are purchased pursuant to the Equity Agreement.

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.

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.

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 June 30, 2012, the agreement was still in effect and no funds have been borrowed.

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 of our frozen foods and pizza cono. Additionally, we added empanadas to our product line which we believe will increase our market for sales. We plan to fund the manufacturing process of these products through the use of private funding investors and resources from Interstate Caterers.

 

In the first quarter of 2012, we added a fully automated filling machine to fill our pizza cono with various flavors. During the next 12 months the Company plans to begin the international distribution of its pizza cono and empanadas in the U.K. (contract with Spuntibreak s.r.l), Canada and the United States. We plan to distribute our products by using independent sales representatives, food and wholesale distributors and employees. We anticipate developing our own proprietary microwave packaging and microwave sleeves for our products. Additionally, we plan to add a Flo Pack package machine to assist in our retail distribution and shipping in the third quarter of 2012.

Net Loss

 

The net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 was $315,137, which was an increase from $199,359 for the same period in 2011. This increase is attributable to the increase in compensation and interest expenses.

In the three month period ended June 30, 2012, Cono Italiano (Delaware) had total revenue of $61,426, compared to total revenue of $-0- for the same period in 2011. The increase in total revenue is attributable to the Company beginning to sell its products.

 

The Company’s gross profits for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 was $14,948, which was a increase from $-0- for the same period in 2011. The increase in gross profits is due to the Company beginning to sell its products.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2012, the Company did not have and continues to not have sufficient cash on hand to pay present obligations as they become due. In addition, due to current economic conditions and the Company’s related risks and uncertainties, there is no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, if at all, to meet our current obligation over the next 12 months. Because of the foregoing, the Company’s auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as of the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

Net cash used for operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, was $156,810 and $1,065, respectively.

As of June 30, 2012, Cono Italiano (Delaware) had $156,810 in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $3,348 of a bank overdraft as of December 31, 2011. The main source of the Company’s cash has been loans from an officer; our Chief Executive Officer, Mitchell Brown, was owed $770,317 as of June 30, 2012, which total loan amount increased from $724,975 at December 31, 2011. Additionally the Company secured a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000 as disclosed below.

 

On November 9, 2009, Cono Italiano (Delaware) entered into a Commitment Letter, pursuant to which, one of our 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”). Lara Mac is wholly owned by Mitch Brown, our Chief Executive Officer. 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 June 30, 2012, there had been no borrowings under the Commitment Letter.

 

On February 27, 2012, the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000 in favor of TCA (as defined herein) (the “Convertible Note”). The maturity date of the Convertible Note is February 27, 2013, and the Convertible Note bears interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. The Convertible Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion. The Convertible Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at the Company’s option without penalty.

 

Further, on February 27, 2012, the Company entered into a committed equity facility (the “Equity Agreement”) with TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP, a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“TCA”). Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Agreement, for a period of twenty-four (24) months commencing on the date of effectiveness of the a registration statement, TCA has committed to purchase up to $1,500,000 of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share.

 

The Company expects the current resources from the Convertible Note, as well as the resources available from the Equity Agreement once the registration statement is declared effective, to be sufficient for a period of approximately 24 months, depending upon certain funding conditions contained therein, unless significant additional financing is received. Management has determined that general expenditures must be reduced and additional capital will be required in the form of equity or debt securities. In addition, if we cannot raise additional short term capital we will be forced to continue to further accrue liabilities due to our limited cash reserves. There are no assurances that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned development, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. If we obtain additional funds by selling any of our equity securities or by issuing common stock to pay current or future obligations, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution, or the equity securities may have rights preferences or privileges senior to the common stock. If adequate funds are not available to us when needed on satisfactory terms, we may be required to cease operating or otherwise modify our business strategy.

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.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible. Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. If amounts become uncollectible they will be charged to operations when that determination is made.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer. Transfer of title occurs and risk of ownership generally passes to a customer at the time of shipment or delivery, depending on the terms of the agreement with a particular customer. The sale price of the Company’s products is substantially fixed or determinable at the date of sale based on purchase orders generated by a customer and accepted by the Company. A customer is obligated to pay for products sold to it within a specified number of days from the date that title to the products is transferred to the customer. The Company’s standard terms are typically net 30 days from the transfer of title to the products to the customer. The Company typically expects payment from a customer within 30 to 45 days from the transfer of title to the products to a customer. Shipping and handling costs are charged to the customer and are included in revenue.

 

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.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

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.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Pursuant to Rule 13a- 15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s PEO and PFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s PEO and PFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
