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 considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the six months ended is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 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, 2000 included in its Annual Report filed on Form 10-KSB. 2. Principles of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the account of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries.

Although the Company sells its products throughout the United States, its main customer base is on the East Coast of the United States. 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 June 30, 2001, the Company had no uninsured cash balances. F- 6 CREATIVE BAKERIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000 4.

Amortization of the covenant charged to operations was $12,500 in 2001 and 2000. The excess cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired from J.M. Specialties, Inc. aggregated $1,213,565. This goodwill has been amortized over its estimated useful life of fifteen years. Amortization charged to operations amounted to $40,456 in 2001 and 2000. 8. Note payable, bank: As of June 30, 2001, the Company had an available revolving line of credit with Hudson United Bank in the amount of $150,000, of which $82,552 had been utilized at June 30, 2001.

Commitments and contingencies: The Company is obligated under a triple net lease for use of 29,362 square feet of office and plant space in New Jersey with the lease commencing January 31, 1994 and expiring December 31, 2004. The minimum future rentals on the baking facility is as follows:
Facility -------- June 30, 2002 $200,000 June 30, 2003 200,000 June 30, 2004 200,000 Thereafter 100,000 -------- $700,000 ========
Rent expense for all operating leases amounted to $129,923 in 2001 and $104,498 in 2000. 10. 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 $7,897,694 that may be offset against future taxable income. The carryforward losses expire at the end of the years 2006 through 2018. F-9 CREATIVE BAKERIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000 11. Earnings per share: Primary earnings per share is computed based in the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding plus the shares that would have been outstanding assuming conversion of the common stock purchase warrants which are considered to be common stock equivalents. However, according to FASB 128, effective for financial statements issued and annual periods issued after December 15, 1997, entities with a loss from continuing operations, the exercise of any potential shares increases the number of shares outstanding and results in a lower loss per share. Thus, potential issuances are excluded from the calculation of earnings per share. These common stock purchase warrants amounted to 0 in 2001 and 1,339,575 in 2000. Reconciliation of shares used in computation of earnings per share:
2001 2000 ---- ---- Weighted average of shares actually outstanding 5,245,250 5,245,250 --------- --------- Common stock purchase warrants Primary and fully diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 5,245,250 5,245,250 ========= =========
12. Discontinued operations: In 1998, the Company adopted a formal plan to close WGJ Desserts and Cafes, Inc., its New York manufacturing facility, which was done in July of 1998 and to dispose of its one remaining retail store, which was accomplished in November 1998. The New Jersey facility was unaffected and still continues to sell and manufacture. On November 3, 1998, the Company sold its one remaining retail facility for $405,000 which represented disposition of equipment and a license to sell under the "William Greenberg, Jr. Desserts and Cafes" name. The agreement called for a cash down payment of $110,000 with the remainder being paid on a note receivable due in semi-annual installments of $36,875 plus interest at prime. The maturities of the notes are as follows: June 30, 2002 $ 73,750 June 30, 2003 36,875 -------- $110,625 ========
In the event that the licensee opens and operates any additional retail store(s) utilizing the license (other than the original retail store) and the annual gross retail sales of any such store(s) exceeds $400,000, then the licensee shall pay the licensor (the Company) a five percent royalty on all sales in excess of the $400,000 of sales in each store. The licensee shall pay the licensor a royalty on a semi-annual basis of 3% of all mail order sales in excess of $100,000. F-10 CREATIVE BAKERIES, INC.

F-11 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operation: The Company has strengthened its marketing efforts in the New York Metro area by appointing a premier food broker to represent its products. The broker's focus will be product placement in supermarkets and establishing co-packing arrangements with larger companies. Additional food brokers are being interviewed for representation in other marketing territories. Analysis and reconfiguration of the product mix and cost structure to increase product margins remains one of management's main concerns. Emphasis will be placed on developing items suitable for foodservice and export markets. Reduction of executive positions and consolidation of responsibilities among remaining managers and supervisors will reduce payroll liability and increase efficiency of operations. The Company will continue to seek out potential candidates for merger or acquisition that meet its specific needs. At June 30, 2001 to the extent the Company may have taxable income in future periods, there is available a net operating loss for federal income tax purposes of approximately $7,897,694 which can be used to reduce the tax on income up to that amount through the year 2018. b. Results of Operations (continuing) for three months ending June 30, 2001 vs. three months ended June 30, 2000: The Company's consolidated revenues aggregated $1,119,092 vs. $1,284,124. The cost of goods sold was $949,985 vs. $998,887. Operating expenses were $218,630 vs. $287,933. As a result, the loss from operations for the first quarter 2001 and 2000 was $49,523 and $2,696 respectively. The net interest expense for the quarter was $2,420. The net loss from continuing operations aggregated $49,539 for 2001 ($0.01) per share and $1,730 for 2000 ($.00) per share. Net income from discontinued operations for 1st quarter 2001 was $2,250 vs. net loss of $2,488 for 1st quarter 2000. Batter Bake-Chatterley Inc., (the BBC subsidiary) offers a line of batter and frozen finished cakes, muffins, tart shells, cheesecakes, and other desserts. BBC's financial records and affairs are kept separate from the parent but included in the consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2001 and 2000. c. Plan of Operation: Wholesale Operations: The company's plan of action is to develop a product mix that will be suited for supermarkets, foodservice, fund raising and export markets. This process includes the following: - Selection of Food Brokers to service each segment. - Enter into co-packing arrangements with other baking companies to produce product under their label. - Establish wholesale factory outlet open to the public with aggressive pricing sensitive to the needs of neighborhood. - Reengineering the overhead cost structure and product mix to fit the reduced size of the company.
