BROOKLYN CHEESECAKE & DESSERTS COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AND 2006

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 on Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 18, 2007. 

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 exchange agreement, tenant’s lease assignment, and exclusive licensing agreement with the Company’s former Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President, Ronald Schutté, 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. Schutté with a personal guarantee by Mr. Schutté. As part of the agreement, Mr. Schutté 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 licensing 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 June 30, 2007, the Company had no uninsured cash balances.

Certain amounts previously reported for June 30, 2006 have been reclassified to conform with the classifications used in 2007. 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 $3,000 and $1,500 for each of the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 respectively.

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. Licensing fees were $5,053 and $1,827 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007 and $2,478 and $2,478 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AND 2006

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 carry-forward 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 carry-forward of approximately $11,000,000 that may be offset against future taxable income. The carry-forward losses expire at the end of the years 2007 through 2026. Utilization of the Company’s operating loss carry-forwards could be limited based on changes in ownership as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 382.


7. Exchange Agreement:

On March 28, 2006, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with the Ronald L. Schutté, its former Chairman and CEO, whereby the Company exchanged $1,145,315 in assets in exchange for $1,145,315 of the $ 1,945,315 liabilities of the company, which included some of the debt due to Mr. Schutté. The balance of the Company’s $800,000 obligation to Mr. Schutté will be repaid upon the Company raising additional capital. Mr. Schutté also assumed the balance of the building lease and various equipment leases. The Company also entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Mr. Schutté and a company owned by Mr. Schutté whereby the Company receives one percent of sales as a royalty for use of the Company’s trademarks. Mr. Schutté also acquired the stock of the Company’s J.M. Specialty, Inc. subsidiary. Licensing fees were $5,053 and $1,827 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2007.

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.”

The financial data related to Brooklyn Cheesecake & Desserts Co, Inc. baking operations are classified as discontinued operations for the period presented. The financial data of Brooklyn Cheesecake & Desserts Co, Inc. reflects the historical results of operations and cash flows of the business that was considered part of Brooklyn Cheesecake & Desserts Co, Inc. baking operation during the period.

Brooklyn Cheesecake & Desserts Co, Inc. net loss from discontinued operations of $383,781 for the period ended March 28, 2006 consists of net sales of $319,408, less cost of sales of $384,364 for a loss of $64,956. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $275,101, and interest expense of $43,724, combined for a net loss from discontinued operations of $383,781.

Forward Looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section21E 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 10KSB/A filed on April 18, 2007. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

Item 2.  Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

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 JMS Specialty, 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. As a result of this transaction, our baking operations have been treated as discontinued operations and our current business of licensing our trademarks is treated as our continuing operations.

We presently do not have sufficient cash to implement our business plan.

We have experienced this lack of liquidity throughout 2006 and the first eight months of 2007, causing us to be unable to meet our obligations as they come due. We believe that we need to raise or otherwise obtain at least $1,000,000 in additional financing in order to satisfy our existing obligations and implement our business plan. If we are not successful in obtaining such financing, we may not be able to continue to operate our business.

Although we are hopeful that licensing fees will increase in 2007 and be sufficient to pay related expenses, we will also look for additional 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-QSB.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition:

Income from licensing fees are recognized from the sale by our licensee of goods bearing the Brooklyn Cheesecake & Desserts Company, Inc. trademark.  We follow the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 for revenue recognition.  In general, we record 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.

Stock Based Compensation:

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.” Under the modified prospective method, SFAS No. 123(R) eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transaction using the intrinsic value method prescribed under APB Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. Under the modified prospective method, we are required to recognize compensation cost for share-based payments to employees based on their grant-date fair value from the beginning of the fiscal period in which the recognition provisions are first applied. For periods prior to adoption, the financial statements are unchanged, and the pro forma disclosures previously required by SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, will continue to be required under SFAS No. 123(R) to the extent those amounts differ from those in the Statement of Operations.

Licensing fees were $5,053 and $2,478 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, an increase of $2,575 or 104%. The increase is a result of not having licensing fees in the first three months of 2006 when the company was operating as a baking company. The $651 licensing fee decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to June 30, 2006 was a result of lower product sales on trade name licensed products. All revenues from our baking operations have been reclassified to discontinued operations.

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $22,408 and $168,422 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. This was a decrease of $146,014 or 87%. This was a result of reduced legal, professional and directors’ fees paid in common stock. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased to $15,326 from $23,398 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. This is a decrease of $8,072 or 34.5%. This is a result of lower insurance costs.

Interest expense was $52,975 and $26,488 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, an increase of $26,487 or 100%. This increase was a result of reclassifying interest expense in 2006 to discontinued operations as part of the transactions consummated in connection with the Exchange Agreement. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $26,487 and $26,488. There was no change. Interest is charged at 13% on the $815,000 notes payable.

Gain from discontinued operations decreased to $0 from $143,590. The decrease was a result of the transactions consummated pursuant to the Exchange Agreement whereby the baking operation, which produced substantial losses over the years, was discontinued. The transactions occur on March 28, 2006 and thus does not have a repeat effect in 2007.

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.

As of June 30, 2007, we had negative working capital of $979,986 as compared to negative working capital of $843,139 at June 30, 2006.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007 of $27,488 was due to our loss from continuing operations of ($70,330) and an increase in accounts receivable of $5,053 and a decrease in accounts payable of $6,780 offset by an increase in accrued expenses of $51,675 and amortization expense of $3,000.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007 of $29,624 was due to an officer loan.

Current operations are being funded by licensing fees and loans from our chief executive officer.

Although we have previously been successful in obtaining sufficient capital funds through issuance of common stock and warrants, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future.

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 months ended June, 30 2007 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 A(T). Controls and Procedures

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

   As of June 30, 2007, 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 June 30, 2007, 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.
