NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2014

(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, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2014.

The results of operations for the three ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

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 March 31, 2014 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. As of March 2006 the Company has become a holder and licensor of intellectual property.

The accompanying financial statements are prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. At March 31, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $13,666,691, and a working capital deficiency of $ 70,162. Additionally, for the three months endedMarch 31, 2014, the Company incurred a net loss from operations of $1,381 and had negative cash flows from operations in the amount of $4,810. 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. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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 March 31, 2014.

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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2014

(UNAUDITED)

2. 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 March 31, 2014, 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. Fees are computed at 1% of trademark products sold by our customer.

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 advances 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:

The Company has adopted all recently issued accounting pronouncements. The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

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 March 30, 2013. 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.

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:

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

Licensing fees aggregated $3,679 and $3,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The increase of $679 or 22% was due to an increase in sales of our trademark products by our customer, a related party.

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $5,060 and $9,592 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease of $4,532 or 47% was the result of lower legal fees and public company related expenses.

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, and advances from one of our stockholders totaling $99,554.

As of March 31, 2014, we had negative working capital of $70,162 as compared to negative working capital of $70,281 at December 31, 2013.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $4,810 was due to our net loss of $1,381 and amortization expense of $1,500. This was offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $3,679, a decrease in accounts payable of $995, and a decrease in accrued expenses of $255. Net Cash Used in Operating Activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $9,312 was due to our net loss of $6,592 and amortization expense of $1,500. This was offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $3,000, a decrease in accounts payable of $3,554, and an increase in accrued expenses of $2,334.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $4,810 was due to advances from our stockholder. Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $9,312 was due to advances from our stockholder

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 ended March 31, 2014 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 March 31, 2014, 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 March 31, 2014, 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.
