Note 1 Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

NXT Nutritionals Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings) is a Delaware corporation incorporated in 2006.  On February 12, 2009, Holdings acquired NXT Nutritionals, Inc. (the “Company”, “NXT Nutritionals”, or “NXT, Inc”) a Delaware corporation incorporated in 2008.

The Company is a developer of proprietary, patent pending, healthy alternative sweeteners. The foundation and common ingredient for all of the Company’s products is the all-natural sweetener SUSTA® . The Company also sells non-fat yogurt smoothie products.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information.

The financial information as of December 31, 2010 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.   The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of consolidation

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the following: the fair value of share-based payments, fair value of derivative liabilities, estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets due to continuing operating losses.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.

Risks and uncertainties

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and change in consumer demand. The Company's operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial and operational risks including the potential risk of business failure.

The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in sales and earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the grocery industry, (ii) general economic conditions in the various local markets in which the Company competes, including the general downturn in the economy, (iii) the volatility of prices pertaining to food and beverages in connection with the Company’s distribution of product, and (iv) effective use of slotting fees paid as well as advertising. These factors, among others, make it difficult to project the Company’s operating results on a consistent basis.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  There were no cash equivalents at March 31, 2011 and at December 31, 2010, respectively.
 
The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits.

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the Company had cash in bank accounts which exceeded the federally insured limits by $308,072 and $1,235,498, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) valuation method.

Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

These items are amortized over the life of the debt to interest expense. If a conversion, extinguishment or repayment of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of these amounts is immediately expensed.

Original Issue Discount

For certain convertible debt issued in 2010 and 2009, the Company provided the debt holders with an original issue discount. The original issue discount was equal to three years of simple interest at 10% of the proceeds raised. The original issue discount was recorded to debt discount reducing the face amount of the note and is being amortized to interest expense over the maturity period of the debt.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Binomial Lattice Valuation Model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.

Once determined, the derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the binomial option-pricing model. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, the Company had derivative liabilities in the amounts of $1,645,852 and $2,986,900, respectively.

Revenue recognition

The Company records revenue for both the yogurt smoothie and for the natural sweetener when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the product is delivered, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability of the related customer receivable is reasonably assured.  There is no stated right of return for products.

Sales are recognized upon shipment of products to customers. The Company allows deductions in the form of credits for products unsold during its shelf life which is on average 3 to 4 months.  The Company’s reserve for accounts receivable takes these potential future credits into consideration.  As March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had no reserves.

Expenses such as slotting fees and sales discounts are accounted for as a direct reduction of revenues.  During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded slotting fees and discounts of $62,898 and $1,504, respectively.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales represents costs directly related to the production and manufacturing of the Company’s yogurt smoothie products and the all-natural sweetener SUSTA®.  Costs include product development, freight, packaging and print production costs.

Advertising

Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising for the Company are charged to operations as incurred as follows:

Three Months Ended

Share-based payments

Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants, restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable. The expense resulting from share-based payments are recorded in cost of goods sold or general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations, depending on the nature of the services provided.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), adjusted for changes in income or loss that resulted from the assumed conversion of convertible shares, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

The Company had the following potential common stock equivalents at March 31, 2011:

Convertible debt – face amount of $1,642,328, conversion price of $0.40
    4,105,820  
Convertible debt – face amount of $7,960,684, conversion price of $0.37

The Company had the following potential common stock equivalents at March 31, 2010:

Convertible debt – face amount of $2,066,128, conversion price of $0.40
    5,165,320  
Convertible debt – face amount of $6,517,904, conversion price of $1.00
    6,517,944  
Common stock warrants, conversion price of $0.40 (Series “A”) and $0.60 (Series “B”)
    19,735,634  
Common stock warrants, conversion price of $1.25 (Series “C”)
    6,517,944  
Total common stock equivalents
    37,936,842  

Since the Company incurred a net loss in 2011 and 2010, the effect of considering any common stock equivalents, if outstanding, would have been anti-dilutive.  A separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented.
 
Recent accounting pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”) . ASU 2010-06 amends ASC 820, “ Fair Value Measurements” ("ASC 820") to require a number of additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements. The amended guidance requires entities to disclose the amounts of significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for these transfers, the reasons for any transfers in or out of Level 3, and information in the reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis. The ASU also clarifies the requirement for entities to disclose information about both the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. The amended guidance was effective for financial periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except the requirement to disclose Level 3 transactions on a gross basis, which becomes effective for financial periods beginning after December 15, 2010. ASU 2010-06 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, or ASU 2010-05, which amends ASC 820 to provide clarification of a circumstance in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available. A reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following methods: 1) a valuation technique that uses a) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or b) quoted prices for similar liabilities (or similar liabilities when traded as assets) and/or 2) a valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of ASC 820. ASU 2010-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to adjust to include inputs relating to the existence of transfer restrictions on that liability. The adoption did not have a material impact on our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. This ASU requires a public entity to disclose pro forma information for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period. The disclosures include pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period. If comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the comparable prior reporting period should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. ASU 2010-29 affects any public entity as defined by Topic 805 that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-29 to have an effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 3 Going Concern and Liquidity

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $187,612 and net cash used in operations of $1,003,965 for the three months ended March 31, 2011; and has a working capital deficit of $10,205,643 and a stockholders’ deficit of $11,550,409.
 
The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on management's plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company believes that it will be required to restructure the terms of its existing indebtedness in order to attract additional capital and to avoid a default under the terms of this indebtedness. The Company is currently engaged in discussions with various third parties concerning a possible investment in the Company. These discussions are preliminary in nature and there can be no assurance that any of them will result in an additional funding.
 
The Company will require additional funding to meet its working capital obligations and to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations. The Company believes its current available cash along with anticipated revenues will not be sufficient to meet its working capital needs unless the Company’s obtains additional funding in the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to do all or most of the above listed steps. In the event that the Company were unable to obtain additional financing, it is likely that the Company would be required to discontinue operations.
 
The accompanying unaudited  interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

iv.  
Full ratchet provision – The notes contain a provision in which the conversion price can be reduced in any event the Company issues any security or debt instrument with a lower consideration per share in any future offering.
 
The Company also issued the note holders stock purchase warrants with a term of 5 years. The exercise price is $0.40 per share. The stock purchase warrants contain cashless exercise provisions. The warrants issued in the offering currently entitled the holders to purchase 7,495,590 shares of the Company’s common stock
 
In connection with the ASC 815, “ Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock ,” the Company determined that the embedded conversion feature and the warrant issuances (ratchet down of exercise price based upon lower exercise price in future offerings) are not indexed to the Company’s own stock and, therefore, is an embedded derivative financial liability (the “Embedded Derivative”), which requires bifurcation and to be separately accounted for.

The Company measured the fair value of the derivative liabilities using a binomial lattice valuation model.
 
The fair value of the derivative liabilities are summarized as follow:
 
Derivative liability balance at December 31, 2010
  $ 2,986,900  
Reclassification to paid in capital when derivative liability ceases to exist
    (153,065 )
Mark to market adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2011
    (1,187,983 )
Derivative liability balance at March 31, 2011

At March 31, 2011, the Company remeasured the derivative liabilities, and recorded a fair value adjustment of $1,187,983 and $153,065 as a reclassification of the derivative associated with the notes converted. The following management assumptions were considered in connection with the conversion of debt and related reclassification of derivative liabilities to Additional paid in capital and the period end remeasurement:

The Company has categorized its assets and liabilities recorded at fair value based upon the fair value hierarchy specified by GAAP.

The levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
·
Level 1 inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access;
 
 
·
Level 2 inputs utilize other-than-quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and
 
 
·
Level 3 inputs are unobservable and are typically based on our own assumptions, including situations where there is little, if any, market activity.
 
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the Company categorizes such financial asset or liability based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
 
Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that are classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets within the Level 3 category presented in the tables below may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs.
 
The following are the major categories of liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three months ended March 31, 2011, using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

OVERVIEW
 
Operating through NXT Nutritionals, we are engaged in developing and marketing of a proprietary, patent-pending, all–natural, healthy sweetener sold under the brand name SUSTA™ and other food and beverage products. SUSTA™ is being sold as a stand-alone product and it is the common ingredient for all of our products.  We also market and sell Healthy Dairy® which is enhanced by the revolutionary taste and nutritious ingredients contained in SUSTA™. Our mission is to provide consumers with unique, healthy, delicious products that promote a healthier lifestyle and combat obesity and diabetes.
 
We have previously been focused on expanding the distribution of SUSTA™ to the retail marketplace nationwide and, expanding the Healthy Diary® product line from the east coast to nationwide reach, and eventually expanding the Healthy Dairy® to include product lines such as cup yogurt and ice cream.  Currently we have changed our business focus of Healthy Dairy away from selling to the grocery chains and to focus on the food service category.
 
We have undertaken an aggressive marketing campaign and trial program.  Additionally, more traditional levers in the retail sales channel like advertising, trade incentives, price promotions, couponing, and demonstrations are being employed.  We are targeting consumer food and beverage companies to incorporate SUSTA™ into their products to provide a healthy alternative to sugar, artificial sweeteners and other natural sweeteners that do not provide the nutritional and health benefits of SUSTA™.  We also plan to continue to utilize our three high profile celebrity spokespersons, including Eddie George, Blair Underwood and Dara Torres, to help drive awareness of SUSTA™ by appearing in commercials, making public appearances, heading our cause marketing campaign and appearing on popular television shows.
 
We have funded our operations to date through private placement offerings of our securities.  On August 27, 2009, we completed a private offering of an aggregate subscription amount of $3,173,000 through the issuance of investment units to certain accredited investors.  Each investment unit had a purchase price of $50,000 and consisted of (i) a three year Debentures in the amount of $65,000 convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.40 per share, (ii) five year Series A Warrants to purchase 100% of the common stock underlying the Debenture at an exercise price of $0.40 per share, and (iii) five year Series B Warrants to purchase 100% of the common stock underlying the Debenture at an exercise price of $0.60 per share.
 
 
15

 
 
On February 26, 2010, we closed on a private placement offering by raising total gross proceeds of $5,667,743, through the sale of (i) 0% Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Notes convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share, and (ii) a number of five-year Warrants exercisable into a number of shares of common stock equal to 100% of the number of common shares underlying the Notes at an exercise price of $1.25 per share to certain accredited investors. The principal amount of each Note is 115% of the subscription proceeds received.
 
On September 1, 2010, we entered into a modification and amendment agreement (the “Modification Agreement”) with purchasers holding approximately 87% of the aggregate number of (1) the Notes, (2) the Warrants, and (3) the shares of common stock underlying the Notes and the Warrants, pursuant to which the commencement of monthly redemption date of the Notes is extended to December 1, 2010 and the holders of the Notes and the Warrants, we may now pay the monthly redemption of the Notes in common stock even if the monthly redemption price described in the Notes is less than $0.40. In addition, pursuant to the Modification Agreement, the conversion price of the Notes and the exercise price of the Warrants are both reduced to $0.40 per share.
 
On December 6, 2010 we entered into a second modification and amendment agreement (the “Second Modification Agreement”) with the Purchasers (the “Purchasers”) holding approximately 91% of the aggregate number of (1) the  Notes, (2) Series C warrants and (3) the shares of common stock underlying the Notes and the Series C Warrants. Pursuant to the Amendment, the commencement of monthly redemption date of the Notes is extended to September 1, 2011, the maturity date of the Notes is extended to December 31, 2011 and the original issue discount is amended such that the principal amount equals each investor’s subscription amount multiplied by 1.60.  In addition the conversion price can be adjusted on the following events:
 
(i) First Quarter 2011 Form 10-Q.  If the Company’s filing of its March 31, 2011 Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission does not disclose revenue of at least $5 million for the first three months of 2011, then the Conversion Price of the Notes will decrease by $.03 on the fifth (5th) trading day after the Company files its March 31, 2011 Form 10-Q.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, during the five (5) trading days following the filing of the March 31, 2011 Form 10-Q, the average closing bid price is $.60 or better, the aggregate trading volume of Company common stock is at least 1.5 million shares and all of the shares underlying the Notes may be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 (and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144), then no adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made hereunder. As of March 31, 2011, the Conversion Price of the note was modified from $0.40 to $0.37.
 
(ii) Second Quarter 2011 Form 10-Q.  If the Company’s filing of its June 30, 2011 Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission does not disclose revenue of at least $8 million for the first six months of 2011, then the Conversion Price of the Notes will be adjusted to equal the lesser of (i) the then effective Conversion Price and (ii) ninety (90%) percent of the average closing bid price during the five (5) trading Days following the filing of the June 30, 2011 Form 10-Q, such adjustment, if any, to occur on the fifth (5th) trading day following the Company’s filing of its June 30, 2011 Form 10-Q.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, during the five (5) trading Days following the filing of the June 30, 2011 Form 10-Q, the average closing bid price is $.60 or better, the aggregate trading volume of Company common stock is at least 1.5 million shares and all of the shares underlying the Notes may be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 (and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144), then no adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made hereunder.
 
The Company continues to explore potential expansion opportunities in the industry in order to boost sales, while leveraging distribution systems to consolidate lower costs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company reported a net loss of $(187,612), or $(0.00) per share and a net loss of $(3,238,327) or $(0.08) per share, respectively.  The change in net loss between the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was primarily attributable to the following:

·  
The Company has shifted its Healthy Dairy sales focus from sales to grocery chains to the food service category.  We have only recorded a limited number of Healthy Dairy sales since this shift in focus. The Company also launched the natural sweetener product (SUSTA) on April 30, 2009.  The Company has experienced limited sales on the SUSTA product.

·  
Gross sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 were comparable, but the Company recorded slotting fees and customer discounts of approximately $62,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to approximately $9,000 in slotting and customer discounts in the corresponding three months ended March 31, 2010.

·  
General and administrative expenses increased by approximately 25% during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the corresponding three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase is primarily attributable to the Company’s development and roll out the 4 ounce yogurt cup, and increased marketing efforts to build brand and product awareness.

·  
Other income (expenses) increased significantly during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the corresponding three months ended March 31, 2010.  The increase is primarily attributable to a decrease in interest expense.  The Company fully accreted the debt discount recorded on the 2010 convertible note offering during 2010.  The Company also recorded significant derivative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2010.  The decreases were offset my a major decrease in the change in fair value of the derivative liability during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the corresponding three months ended March 31, 2010.

Going Concern:  As reflected in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $187,612 and net cash used in operations of $1,003,965 for the three months ended March 31, 2011; and has a working capital deficit of $10,205,643 and a stockholders’ deficit of $11,550,409.
 
The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on management's plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company believes that it will be required to restructure the terms of its existing indebtedness in order to attract additional capital and to avoid a default under the terms of this indebtedness. The Company is currently engaged in discussions with various third parties concerning a possible investment in the Company. These discussions are preliminary in nature and there can be no assurance that any of them will result in an additional funding.
 
The Company will require additional funding to meet its working capital obligations and to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations. The Company believes its current available cash along with anticipated revenues will not be sufficient to meet its working capital needs unless the Company’s obtains additional funding in the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to do all or most of the above listed steps. In the event that the Company were unable to obtain additional financing, it is likely that the Company would be required to discontinue operations.

As of March 31, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $(10,205,643) as compared to a working capital deficit of $(11,076,205) as of December 31, 2010, an increase of 870,562.
 
The increase is primarily a result of a decrease in current liabilities, specifically a decrease in derivative liabilities and a decrease in convertible notes, primarily due to convertible noteholders converting to common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2011. These decreases in current liabilities were partially offset by a decrease in current assets, specifically a decrease in cash by approximately $1,000,000.
 
Net cash used for operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $(1,003,965) and $(741,205), respectively.  During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company used cash to build inventories and to further develop the 4 ounce yogurt cup and to market and build brand awareness of the product line.
 
Net cash obtained through all financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $0  as compared to $4,725,755 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, specifically attributable to the 2010 Convertible Note Offering.
 
The Company continues to explore potential expansion opportunities in the industry in order to boost sales, while leveraging distribution systems to consolidate lower costs.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 amends ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” ("ASC 820") to require a number of additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements. The amended guidance requires entities to disclose the amounts of significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for these transfers, the reasons for any transfers in or out of Level 3, and information in the reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis. The ASU also clarifies the requirement for entities to disclose information about both the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. The amended guidance was effective for financial periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except the requirement to disclose Level 3 transactions on a gross basis, which becomes effective for financial periods beginning after December 15, 2010. ASU 2010-06 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, or ASU 2010-05, which amends ASC 820 to provide clarification of a circumstance in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available. A reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following methods: 1) a valuation technique that uses a) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or b) quoted prices for similar liabilities (or similar liabilities when traded as assets) and/or 2) a valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of ASC 820. ASU 2010-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to adjust to include inputs relating to the existence of transfer restrictions on that liability. The adoption did not have a material impact on our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. This ASU requires a public entity to disclose pro forma information for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period. The disclosures include pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period. If comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the comparable prior reporting period should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. ASU 2010-29 affects any public entity as defined by Topic 805 that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-29 to have an effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report. 
 
We believe the following critical accounting policies and procedures, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements: 
 
Use of Estimates, Going Concern Consideration – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Among the estimates we have made in the preparation of the financial statements is an estimate of our projected revenues, expenses and cash flows in making the disclosures about our liquidity in this report.  As an early stage company, many variables may affect our estimates of cash flows that could materially alter our view of our liquidity and capital requirements as our business develops.  Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we are a “going concern”.  No adjustment has been made in the consolidated financial statements which could result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.  
 
Share-Based Compensation - US GAAP requires public companies to expense employee share-based payments (including options, warrants, restricted stock units and performance stock units) based on fair value.  We must use our judgment to determine key factors in determining the fair value of the share-based payment, such as volatility, forfeiture rates and the expected term in which the award will be outstanding. 
 
Derivative Financial Instruments - Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Binomial Lattice Model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments. 
 
Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the binomial option-pricing model. 
 
Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount -These items are amortized over the life of the debt to interest expense.  If a conversion, extinguishment or repayment of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of these amounts is immediately expensed.

Beneficial Conversion Feature - For convertible debt issued in 2009, the convertible feature of the convertible notes (See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements) indicated a rate of conversion that was below market value. As a result, the Company recorded a "beneficial conversion feature" ("BCF") and related debt discount. 
 
When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount from the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. Upon issuance, the convertible debt instruments had an effective conversion rate per share in excess of the market price per share. 
 
Revenue recognition - The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 for revenue recognition and records revenue when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the product is delivered, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability of the related customer receivable is reasonably assured. There is no stated right of return for products.
 
Sales are recognized upon shipment of products to customers. The Company allows deductions in the form of credits for products unsold during its shelf life which is on average 3 to 4 months. The Company’s reserve for accounts receivable takes these potential future credits into consideration.  Expenses such as slotting fees, sales discounts, and reclamation are accounted for as a direct reduction to revenues.
 
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS:
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who also serves as the Company’s Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Management designed the disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.  
 
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and PFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
