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 September 30, 2011.

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.
 

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 September 30, 2011, 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.

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 notes 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:
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. ASU 2010-20 requires additional disclosures about the credit quality of a company’s loans and the allowance for loan losses held against those loans. Company will need to disaggregate new and existing disclosures based on how it develops its allowance for loan losses and how it manages credit exposures. Additional disclosure is also required about the credit quality indicators of loans by class at the end of the reporting period, the aging of the past due loans, information about troubled debt restructurings, and significant purchases and sales of loans during the reporting period by class. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company anticipates that adoption of these additional disclosures will not have a material effect on its financial position of results of operations.

In September 2011, the FASB amended its guidance regarding the disclosure requirements for employers participating in multiemployer pension and other postretirement benefit plans (multiemployer plans) to improve transparency and increase awareness of the commitments and risks involved with participation in multiemployer plans. The new accounting guidance requires employers participating in multiemployer plans to provide additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures to provide users with more detailed information regarding an employer’s involvement in multiemployer plans. The provisions of this new guidance are effective for annual periods beginning with the fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The company anticipates that adoption of these additional disclosures will not have a material effect on our financial statements.
 
 
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)-Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The company does not anticipate the provisions of ASU 2011-08 will have a material effect on our financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
