The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 210

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. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. Operating results for the nine month period ended September
30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. For further information
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,

2 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June
2009 the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification"
or "ASC") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the
FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States ("GAAP"). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued under authority of federal securities laws
are also sources of GAAP
for SEC
registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the
Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial
statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and
presented.
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") SFAS No. 165 (ASC Topic 855),
"Subsequent Events", SFAS No. 166 (ASC Topic 810), "Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140", SFAS No. 167 (ASC

applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would
not have been significant.

3 – Other Events
On April
6, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed Denise Gurley Vice
President-Sales in conjunction with an employment contract where under, among
other consideration, Ms. Gurley was granted a total of 110,000 stock options
exercisable into shares of Class A common stock at $0.35 per share.
The options were granted under the Company’s 2008 Stock Option and Stock Award
Plan and vest ratably on a quarterly basis over the term of the first year of
employment.
The fair
value of 110,000 options granted on April 6, 2009 totals $31,334, which amount
has been expensed and recorded as additional paid in capital.
On August
27, 2009, the Company granted to Mr. Brad Hunsaker, a consultant to the Company,
a total of 350,000 stock options exercisable into shares of Class A common stock
at $0.35 per share. The options were granted under the Company’s
2008 Stock Option and Stock Award Plan and vest immediately.
The fair
value of 350,000 options granted on August 27, 2009 totals $61,483, which amount
has been expensed and recorded as additional paid in capital.
On August
20, 2009, the Company entered into debt settlement agreements with three
creditors to settle a total of $74,692 in debt by way of the issuance of 746,922
shares at a deemed price of $0.10 per share. On the date of the debt settlement
the market value of the issued shares was $0.13 per share. The difference
between the deemed settlement price of $0.10 and the market price on the date of
the issuance of the shares resulted in a loss on conversion of debt
totaling $22,408 which has been expensed in this quarter. The 746,922
shares were issued during this quarter.
By an
agreement dated September 16, 2009, the Company entered into a marketing
contract with Clarke Advertising, whereby an email survey to gather certain
targeted marketing data will be conducted. The anticipated target
will be 10,000 email surveys with a hope to secure 2 to 5 percent
response. Compensation to Clarke Advertising consists of $8,500, to
be settled by a cash payment of $2,500 upon commencement of the program and the
balance of the payment by the issuance of 40,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock at $.15 per share. The 40,000 shares were issued during the
period. Effective September 25, 2009, Ms. Jacqueline Danforth
resigned as the Secretary of the Company, and effective September 25, 2009, Dr.
Brian Raines has been appointed as the Secretary of the Company.
Note
4 – Financing Agreements
8%
convertible note due 2012:
On
September 11, 2009, the Company entered into debt settlements with its creditors
to settle a total of $1,304,172 by way of convertible loans. Under the term of
the convertible loans, the creditors have executed loan agreements for a period
of three years, with interest payable annually at 8% per annum. The loans are
unsecured and convertible for a period of one year into shares of the Company’s
Class A common stock at a deemed price of $0.15 per share, for a total issuance
of 8,694,481 shares, if converted.
6%
convertible note due 2012:
On
September 11, 2009, the Company also renegotiated an outstanding debenture due
in December 2009. As a result of the renegotiations the Company has
entered into a new debenture agreement in the amount of $317,517with Ultimate
Resort Destinations Inc. (“Ultimate”). Ultimate currently holds a
debenture over the shares of Food and Culinary Technology Group Inc. (FACT Group
Inc.), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary operating in the customized
nutrition solutions industry. The debenture has been rewritten for a
period of three years, with interest payable at 6% per annum. The
debenture will be convertible for a period of two years into the Company’s Class
A common stock at a deemed price of $0.14 per share, for a total issuance of
2,267,980 shares, if converted.

6%
convertible note due 2012: (continued)
At the
date of the execution of the notes the market price of the Company’s common
stock was below the conversion price of the convertible notes discussed above,
therefore, the Company has not recognized any beneficial conversion feature
(BCF) with respect to the above notes. A beneficial conversion
feature (BCF) arises when the conversion price of a convertible instrument is
less than the fair value of the instrument or instruments into which the
convertible instrument is convertible. If and when the above notes are
converted into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, the Company will
review the transaction to determine if there is any expense to be recognized at
that time.
Note
5 – Subsequent Events
During
the month of October 2009 the Company concluded a private placement to raise
$125,000 under Regulation S at $0.25 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one share
of Class A common stock and two share purchase warrants, being Class A and Class
B warrants. The Class A warrants allow for the purchase of Class A
common stock at US$0.30 per share within one (1) calendar year and the Class B
warrants allow for the purchase of an additional share of Class A common stock
at $0.35 per share within two (2) calendar years. As of the date of this report
the Company has received confirmation that is has secured a further $125,000 in
funding under the same terms as noted above. Additionally the Company
will seek to raise a further $500,000 under the terms of this private placement
under Regulation S or Regulation D prior to the close of fiscal
2009. Funds raised have been allocated to provide for additional
inventory financing and to further the Company’s Q 1 2010 new product launch
initiatives.
Subsequent
to the period covered by this report the Company entered into a settlement
agreement in regard to outstanding litigation whereby the Company was a
Plaintiff. On October 2, 2009 the Company entered into a
Settlement Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Defendant whereby the Company
will acquire all underlying intellectual property; the Defendant’s covenant not
to compete and certain cash consideration in exchange for mutual releases in
respect of the litigation.
The
Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through
November 20, 2009, and determined there are no other events to
disclose.

consultant of the Company. The Company reported a
decrease of 55% to legal expenses and an increase of 29% to
general administrative expenses, with an increase to consulting
fees of 44% period over period, as a result of recruitment fees paid with
respect to a new hire during the period, increased salary costs as a
result of the hire, and the retention of a consultant to assist in the
Company’s three year forward-planning and acquisition
strategies;

The
Company’s net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased
by 93% over the comparative period predominantly as a result of decreased
net revenue, an increase to interest expense and overall operating
expenses including the retention of new consultants and employees to
further the Company’s growth
initiatives.

Commodity
Trends
FACT
Corporation and our contracted blending facilities are purchasers of wheat,
corn, soybean, sugar, alternative sweeteners and certain other commodities which
are used in the manufacture of our functional bake mixes. We also
contract with trucking companies for the transportation of our wholesale goods,
as well as warehouses for storage of our products, both of which use gas and/or
natural gas. FACT and its contracted suppliers monitor worldwide
supply and cost trends of commonly used commodities in an attempt to secure
favorable pricing and mitigate the impact of fluctuating prices of high usage
commodities.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, aggregate commodity costs remained
relatively constant across the Company’s product lines, allowing FACT to offer
more favorable pricing to its customers with respect to certain products.
Transportation costs decreased substantially as a result of decreasing gas
prices, and transportation surcharges previously levied by our contracted
logistics companies were withdrawn. Accordingly the cost of the
Company’s wholesale blended products decreased, and a percentage of the decrease
in costs was passed along to our customers where possible, to reflect stabilized
ingredient prices and reduced transportation costs.
We expect
fluctuations and uncertainty in the commodity and other raw material costs to
continue, particularly for dairy, grains and energy. We will endeavor
to pass increased costs and/or savings along to our customers where possible to
allow the Company to maintain our current business margins. However,
if we are to realize increased costs which cannot be passed along, or should we
fail to price our products competitively where savings could be secured for our
customers, cost increases and/or loss of sales as a result of non-competitive
pricing could result in a reduction to our bottom line profits and our top line
sales.
Dependence
On One or a Few Major Customers
The
Company’s revenues for fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and to the
date of this report rely heavily on sales made to two (2) key customers: Western
Bagel Baking Corporation of Van Nuys, California and Prince Donuts Inc. of
Linden, NY. Together these two (2) customers account for
approximately ninety nine per cent (99%) of premix sales. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2009, sales to key customer Prince Donuts were
reduced by 21% as compared to sales over the same period in the prior fiscal
year, while sales to customer Western Bagel Baking Corporation were reduced by
55% over the comparative period. The Company believes decline in
sales reflects the uncertain economic condition in the United States and the
impact of this uncertainty on sales to the end consumer. While we
believe current year sales to Western Bagel will reflect a substantial reduction
from prior year sales as a result of a voluntary product recall and a lost
account early in the year, we have been further advised subsequent to the
quarter end that the impact of the recall has passed, and the previously lost
customer account has been reestablished, and therefore we can hope to return to
a normalized running rate during fiscal 2010. During March 2008, FACT
customer Prince Donuts advised the Company of a hold on future purchases
while extraordinarily high
inventory
levels required reduction for certain of their customer
base. The Company was advised this hold on purchases would
remain in effect until mid May 2008, at which point high inventory levels should
have normalized and regular order volumes should continue. However,
customer Prince Donuts did not order any products from FACT Group during the
second quarter of fiscal 2008 as a result of this hold on
purchases. Subsequent to June 30, 2008 Prince Donuts resumed orders,
though during the three month period ended September 30, 2008, and to the end of
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 sales volumes were substantially reduced
compared to the same period in the prior year. During the nine months
period to September 30, 2009, FACT has continued to experience a decrease in
sales to customer Prince Donuts. At the date of this report, the
Company has been advised by customer Prince Donuts that it has lost a key
account and while there will be continuing orders of lesser volume for a period
of time; this account will cease purchasing product sometime during the third
quarter of fiscal 2009. Concurrently, customer Prince Donuts
has secured two new accounts for FACT’s product. At the date of this report, the
Company believes these two new accounts once they achieve distribution, may
entirely replace the current volume shortage and return revenues to a run rate
similar to fiscal 2007 results. Additionally, FACT Group has hired a
new full time sales professional, and has contracted a consulting firm to assist
with operational activities, and is actively working to successfully close
additional client accounts to assist in better diversifying our revenue base and
address the negative impact of such heavy reliance on a few major
customers. Additionally, the Company has determined to expedite the
proposed 21010 launch of a line of five (5) better-for-you bake mixes for home
use under its Nutrition First™ brand to retail grocery chains in the United
States and Internationally, as well as a line of single serve, ready-to-eat
muffins, brownies and cookies proposed for launch to U.S. drug and convenience
channels. A review of other distribution initiatives is currently
underway to assist the Company in reaching its 3 year growth
objectives. It is unknown if we will be successful in this endeavor
in the immediate future. It is anticipated that until such time as
FACT establishes a more diverse range of products in the marketplace, it will
remain reliant on a small number of key customers to drive sales. A
complete loss of any one of these customers, without identifying and securing
new customers could seriously impact our business.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
Liquidity
The
Company believes that cash from operations and existing credit facilities
currently provide sufficient liquidity to meet our present working capital
needs, including debt servicing obligations. In order to implement our 2010
through 2012 plans for growth, our debt retirement plans and other expansion
plans, the Company anticipates it may require between $1 million and
$5million over the next three years to fully implement its business plan, which
includes significant marketing efforts, the continued development and refinement
of functional food formulations and products, a consumer awareness and public
relations campaign, concepts for development, manufacturing and distribution of
master brand food products, expanded management resources and support staff, and
other day to day operational activities. Depending on the success of
each segment of the staggered implementation of our growth initiatives the
Company will require varying amounts of funds over the next three years in order
to realize its goals. Should the Company fail to achieve anticipated benchmarks
over the 2009 through 2012 fiscal years; the amount of capital required will be
reduced accordingly. The amount and timing of additional funds
required cannot be definitively stated as at the date of this report and will be
dependent on a variety of factors. Additionally the Company is
currently pursuing a strategic acquisition with respect to an indentified
target, which, if successful, will require substantial financing in some
combination of debt and equity. Whether the Company will be
successful in these plans, and the amount and timing of funding which would be
required to accomplish same is presently unknown, however, the Company believes
the amount required to successfully conclude an acquisition and associated cash
requirements to be in the range of $10 million. As of the filing of this report,
the Company has been successful in raising funds required to meet any revenue
shortfalls with respect to the funding of our operations. Funds have
been raised through private loans, equity financing and conventional bank debt,
as well as through the sale of certain active and passive
investments. The Company anticipates revenues generated from its
functional food business will greatly reduce the requirement for additional
funding as we implement our growth initiatives; however, we cannot be certain
the Company will be successful in achieving revenues from those
operations. Furthermore the Company cannot be certain that we will be
able to raise any additional capital to fund our ongoing operations, if and when
required.
Summary
of Working Capital and Stockholders' Equity
As of
September 30, 2009, the Company had negative working capital of $941,964 and
negative Stockholders' Equity of $3,144,169 compared with negative working
capital of $2,151,349 and negative Stockholders' Equity of $2,675,599 as of
December 31, 2008. The Company’s negative working capital has
increased as a result of the reduction to accounts receivable and use of cash to
settle certain accounts payable.
Sources of Working
Capital
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 the Company's primary sources of
working capital has come from revenues generated from our functional foods
business and monthly rental income As a result of the debt settlement
during the third quarter, and a more attractive Balance Sheet, the Company plans
to pursue new financing of up to $1,000,000 in order to fund the final stage of
development and market entry of several
new product lines that it hopes to launch in the first quarter of fiscal
2010.
Material Commitments for
Capital Expenditures
Pursuant
to a settlement agreement entered into between FACT LLC and Steven Schechter,
Jennifer Flynn and Steven Capodicasa, FACT Group has an obligation to pay a
total of $2,000,000 in royalty payments over 10 years. As at
September 30, 2009 the remaining balance due with respect to this obligation
totaled $1,538,530. The obligation has been paid from the Company’s
revenues and the Company anticipates it will continue to be able to pay this
obligation from revenues. The current minimum portion due and payable
over the next twelve months totals $159,193.
Results of
Operations
Comparison of nine month
periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
For the
nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred
operating losses of $532,739 and $261,027, respectively. Legal fees
decreased from $91,423 (2008) to $41,367 (2009). Administrative expenses
increased over the respective periods from $191,628 (2008) to $246,597 (2009) as
a direct result of increased corporate travel expenses, increased research and
development expenditures and an increase to general office overhead including
increased telephone expenses, sample costs, shipping costs and other product
related charges. Consulting fees increased substantially from $128,433 (2008) to
$184,384 (2009) as a result of fees paid to a recruitment firm in respect of a
new hire, and monthly consulting fees paid as a result of a contract entered
into in February 2009. Fiscal 2009 operations reflect a
decrease in gross revenues from $1,591,320 (2008) to $955,004
(2009). This decrease in revenues can be attributed directly to a
shortfall in orders from both of the Company’s key customers. While
the Company believes that this shortfall is partially a reflection of the
current economic environment in the United States and decreasing inventory
levels on hand at the retail level, we also have recently become aware that one
of our key customers has lost a key account which is partially responsible for
the decrease in current year revenues. As a result the Company will
expect to see reduced sales for the balance of the current fiscal year or until
such time as the revenue from this account can be replaced. As at the
date of this report the Company has been advised by this key customer that it
has obtained two new accounts which it expects will fully replace the current
lost revenues once a full sales cycle has been reached. As a result of this
decrease in sales volumes, the Company has reduced its inventory levels
accordingly from $131,170 (December 31, 2008) to $44,716 (September 30,
2009). Associated costs of goods sold relating to functional premix
sales has also decreased from $1,240,307 (2008) to $735,584
(2009). The Company’s gross margin on the sale of functional bake
mixes was reduced over the respective periods as we offered more competitive
pricing to our customers in an attempt to boost gross sales
volumes.
During this quarter, the Company
recorded an expense of $92,827 related to stock based compensation with respect
to the issuance of 460,000 stock options to an employee and a consultant to the
Company,with no similar
expense in the prior comparative period.
Depreciation
and amortization expenses remained constant during the comparative nine month
periods totaling $186,984 (2009) and $187,014 (2008) as the Company recorded
recurring expenses related to the amortization of its intellectual property and
fixed assets in the normal course of business.
Interest
expense increased over the comparative nine months ended September 30, 2009
totaling $74,211 (2008) and $92,098 (2009) respectively, as the Company was
unable to allocate proceeds to retire debt. Additionally the Company
recorded a one-time expense of $22,408 during the current quarter as a loss on
conversion of certain debt into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock,
which amount reflects the difference between the conversion price of the debt of
$0.10 per share, and the market price of the Company’s shares of $0.13 on the
date of the issuance of the shares.
Net
losses for the two completed nine month periods were $335,238 (2008) and
$647,261 (2009) respectively.
