Quarterly Report


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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Financial Statements and the Notes to the financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The Financial Statements for the three month period ending August 31, 2009, included in this Form 10-Q are unaudited; however, this information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim period.

Results of Operations

Three Months ending August 31, 2009 v. August 31, 2008

In the three month period ended August 31, 2009, the Company had sales of $908,514 versus $1,170,864 in the corresponding three month period in 2008. Cost of goods sold in this period was $857,019 which was 94% versus 74% for the same period in 2008.

In this three month period, the Company recorded a net loss from operations of $801,000 versus a net loss of $444,068 for the same period in 2008. The net loss to common shareholders during this period 2009 was $908,276 versus a net loss of $600,518 during the same period in 2008. Of the net loss, $107,383 was attributable to non-cash stock dividends paid to preferred shareholders during the first quarter in the form of new shares of preferred. In 2009, the Company incurred $135,874 in interest charges, which is attributable primarily to interest on the term loan and bridge loan in the form of preferred shares, interest on its revolving line of credit, and long-term debt owed to the former members of Artisanal Cheese LLC. The Company also incurred $21,000 of amortization charges relating to the intangible assets and $39,045 of depreciation on the fixed assets.

On August 31, 2009, the Company had $842,370 in current liquid assets, which consisted primarily of inventory of $281,369, prepaid expenses of $145,225 and accounts receivable of $415,776. The Company had leasehold improvements and equipment of $683,716 and intangibles of $3,725,461 net of amortization.

Liquidity and Financial Resources at August 31, 2009

As of August 31, 2009, the Company had $2,655,502 in current liabilities, which includes $173,599 in notes to the former shareholders of the Company, as well as a $151,923 bridge note (including interest) The Company had accounts payable of $1,218,817, a revolving line of credit of $ 416,179, accrued taxes of $480,769, cash overdraft of 7,283 and accrued expenses and other current liabilities totaling $151,455. The Company's current liabilities also include outstanding prepaid gift certificates and other deferred revenue totaling $55,477.

In February 2009, the Company closed on a revolving line of credit in an amount representing up to 85% of the company's accounts receivable and 50% of its inventories with a maximum loan amount of $750,000. The cost of this facility is at Prime Rate plus 2%. The Prime Rate at closing was 3.25%. The line of credit is secured by the assets of the Company and has various covenants for collateral management fees, change of control provisions and a guarantee. As of June 1, 2009, two events of default had occurred under the loan. Specifically, the advance against acceptable inventory exceeded the bank's formula by approximately $20,000 and the Company had not yet paid its past due taxes in full or otherwise subordinated the taxes to the bank in a manner acceptable to the bank. On or about June 1, 2009, the parties executed a Forbearance Agreement pursuant to which the bank agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the original loan document in exchange for the Company's agreement that, until it provides satisfactory evidence that it has paid the past due taxes have been paid or otherwise subordinated to the bank and until it has raised $1.7 million in cash equity, the interest rate shall be increased to Prime Rate plus 8%. The forbearance agreement expired July 31, 2009. On or about August 13, 2009, the parties executed a second forbearance agreement pursuant to which the bank agreed to forbear until November 9, 2009, in exchange for a $10,000 forbearance fee, a limitation on the loan against inventory to a maximum of $175,000, and interest to continue at the rate of Prime Rate plus 8%.


Index

In June 2009, the board approved the Company's intentions to obtain an $850,000 term loan and to raise an additional $2 million in equity. As of the date of this filing, the company has secured a $150,000 bridge loan and $700,000 of the term loan from existing shareholders and is negotiating with several potential equity investors. The proceeds will be used to finance the Company's new packaging and retail displays and its expansion into big-box and chain retailers, pay down tax liabilities and to provide a cash reserve.

With the expansion of sales into specialty, big-box and chain retail markets, the Company believes its cash flow will be sufficient to meet its fixed monthly expenses. The Company generates cash from the sales of its product. Wholesale and retail customers purchasing on an open account basis have 30-day payment terms. All others sales pertaining to cheese and related items from our print catalog or website or sales relating to classes at the cheese center are paid through credit card which generally settle within three days of purchase.

For so long as more than $1,500,000 of the Preferred stock is issued and outstanding, the Company shall require the prior written consent of holders representing two-thirds of the Preferred stock issued and outstanding to (a) sell, merge with, acquire or consolidate with another business entity, (b) incur additional leverage beyond the leverage contemplated by the Company and Holders as part of the Company's acquisition of Artisanal Cheese, LLC, or (c) issue any new shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into Common Stock in excess of 2% of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis as of August 14, 2007, excluding the Management Stock Option granted to Messrs. Dowe and Feeney (see below.) At no time shall such securities be sold or granted at a price less than the thirty cents ($.30) per share Conversion Price. If the Company cannot obtain the requisite two-thirds approval, these restrictions may affect our liquidity and our ability to execute our business plan.

All long-term liabilities are payable to the previous owners of Artisanal Cheese LLC and are being repaid in accordance with the terms of the governing instruments.

The cost to carry the preferred stock is a dividend of 12% payable in stock until August 2010. Thereafter the dividend is 12% if payable in cash or 15% if payable in stock, at the Company's election. Where the Company elects to pay the dividend in shares, this will not present a drain on the company's capital resources.

Inflation and Changing Prices

The Company does not foresee any risks associated with inflation or substantial price increases in the near future. In addition, the cheeses that are selected by the Company in its affinage process are often available from various sources. As such, while the Company has exposure to inflation, it does not believe that inflation will have any materially significant impact on its operations in the near future.

The Company does not foresee any increase in costs that cannot be passed on to its customer in the ordinary course of business. The company adjusts its wholesale and online prices throughout the year to reflect increase costs attributable to increases in energy prices. Under very limited circumstances, the Company has entered into agreements with certain customers for which the Company provides third-party drop-ship fulfillment with contracted pricing for various cheese collections. The Company, in turn, usually has a corresponding agreement with the cheese suppliers whose products are incorporated into these collections for fixed prices to ensure that the company achieves its anticipated gross margin.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure on contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes that its critical accounting policies are limited to those described below. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies see Note 3 to our financial statements.

Long-Lived Assets (including Tangible and Intangible Assets)

We acquired businesses in recent years, which resulted in intangible assets being recorded. The determination of the value of such intangible assets requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect our consolidated financial statements. We assess potential impairment to the intangible and tangible assets on a quarterly basis or when evidence of events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators, if any, and future cash flows related to these assets are based on operational performance of our business, market conditions and other factors.

Accounting for Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing our financial statements we are required to estimate our income taxes. Management judgment is required in determining our provision of our deferred tax asset. We recorded a valuation for the full deferred tax asset from our net operating losses carried forward due to the Company not demonstrating any consistent profitable operations. In the event that the actual results may differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods we may need to adjust such valuation recorded.

Stock-Based Compensation

The computation of the expense associated with stock-based compensation requires the use of a valuation model. SFAS 123(R) is a new and very complex accounting standard, the application of which requires significant judgment and the use of estimates, particularly surrounding Black-Scholes assumptions such as stock price volatility, expected option lives, and expected option forfeiture rates, to value equity-based compensation. The Company currently uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of its stock options. The Company primarily uses historical data to determine the assumptions to be used in the Black-Scholes model and has no reason to believe that future data is likely to differ materially from historical data. However, changes in the assumptions to reflect future stock price volatility and future stock award exercise experience could result in a change in the assumptions used to value awards in the future and may result in a material change to the fair value calculation of stock-based awards. SFAS 123(R) requires the recognition of the fair value of stock compensation in net income. Although every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of our estimates and assumptions, significant unanticipated changes in those estimates, interpretations and assumptions may result in recording stock option expense that may materially impact our financial statements for each respective reporting period.
