NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2006 AND 2005
1. Basis of presentation:
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB.
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
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report for the year ended December 31, 2005 included in
its Annual Report filed on Form 10-KSB.
2. Nature of operations, risks and uncertainties:
The Company was formerly a manufacturer of baking and confectionery
products, which were sold to supermarkets, food distributors, educational
institutions, restaurants, mail order and to the public. The Company sold
its products throughout the United States, with a concentration on the
East Coast. The Company also exported cheesecake to Japan.
On March 28, 2006, the Company entered into an asset exchange agreement,
tenant's lease assignment, and exclusive licensing agreement with the
Company's former Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President, Ronald
Schutte, whereby the Company exchanged certain assets of its operating
subsidiary JM Specialties, Inc. for the assumption of $1,145,315 in
liabilities of the Company by an entity established by Mr. Schutte with a
personal guarantee by Mr. Schutte. As part of the agreement, Mr. Schutte
also acquired the stock of JM Specialties, Inc. The transaction had been
subject to a satisfactory fairness opinion. Following the exchange
transaction, the Company's business operations changed from the
manufacturing of baking and confectionary products to a licensing company
of intellectual property.
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.
The Company maintains all of its cash balances in New Jersey financial
institutions. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Company (FDIC) up to $100,000. At March 31, 2006, the Company had no
uninsured cash balances.
Certain amounts previously reported for March 31, 2005 have been
reclassified to conform with the classifications used in 2006. Such
classifications had no effect on the reported net loss.
3. Tradename and licensing agreements:
On March 7, 2002, the Company purchased the rights to the tradenames
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 tradename rights are being amortized on the straight-line
basis over a fifteen-year term. Amortization expense was $1,500 for each
of the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.
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. No income was reported for the last three days of this
quarter.

6. Income taxes:
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS No. 109") "Accounting for Income
Taxes", which requires an asset and liability approach to financial
accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial
statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result
in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws
and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected
to affect taxable income.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the
tax payable or refundable for the period, plus or minus the change during
the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. There was no cumulative
effect of adoption or current effect in continuing operations mainly
because the Company has accumulated a net operating loss. The Company has
made no provision for a deferred tax asset due to the net operating loss
carryforward because a valuation allowance has been provided which is
equal to the deferred tax asset. It cannot be determined at this time that
a deferred tax asset is more likely than not to be realized.
The Company has a loss carryforward of $11,146,700 that may be offset
against future taxable income. The carryforward losses expire at the end
of the years 2006 through 2025.
7. Exchange Agreement:
On March 28, 2006, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with the
Ronald L. Schutte the former Chairman and CEO whereby the Company
exchanged certain assets in exchange for all liabilities of the company
and a portion of the secured debt due to Mr. Schutte. The balance of Mr.
Schutte's debt will be extinguished upon the Company raising additional
capital. The Company also entered into an exclusive licensing agreement
with Mr. Schutte and a company owned by Mr. Schutte whereby, the Company
receives one percent of net sales as a royalty for use of the Company's
trademarks. Mr. Schutte also acquired the stock of the Company's J.M.
Specialty, Inc. subsidiary.
8. Discontinued Operations:
The Company's Exchange Agreement has been accounted for under the
requirements of paragraph 30 of Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets."

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
Overview
On March 28, 2006 the Company exchanged its baking assets for debt and
liabilities with its former Chairman and CEO. In addition the company entered
into a licensing agreement, whereby it has licensed certain intellectual
property, namely trademarks. The licensing fees derived from the license
agreement, if any, will be used to offset operating costs.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,
2005
The operating company revenue from operations, cost of goods sold and
operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 have been
reclassified to discontinued operations.
Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $145,024 and $39,228
for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. This was an increase of
$105,796 or 270%. This was a result of increased legal, professional and
directors' fees. Most of these fees were paid in common stock.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since its inception the Company's only source of working capital has been
the $8,455,000 received from the issuance of its securities.
As of March 31, 2006, the Company had a negative working capital from
continuing operations of $801,760 t 6 0 as compared to a negative working
capital of $899,385 at March 31, 2005.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-QSB, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures. Based on the forgoing, our Chief Executive Officer has concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the quarter
ended March 31, 2006.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports 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 our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving
the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance,
management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, 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 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.
