AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 AND 2002 1. The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report for the year ended December 31, 2002 included in its Annual Report filed on Form 10-KSB. Going concern: The Company has incurred losses from continuing operations over the last several quarters. Management has described its plan of action in regard to this uncertainty in its latest annual report filed December 31, 2002. 2. Principles of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the account of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. 3. Nature of operations, risks and uncertainties: The Company is a manufacturer of baking and confectionery products which are sold to supermarkets, food distributors, educational institutions, restaurants, mail order and to the public. Although the Company sells its products throughout the United States, its main customer base is on the East Coast of the United States. The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts. The Company maintains all of its cash balances in New Jersey financial institutions. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC) up to $100,000. At March 31, 2003, the Company had no uninsured cash balances. F-5 CREATIVE BAKERIES, INC.

Depreciation expense charged to operations was $20,123 and $31,188 in 2003 and 2002, respectively. The useful lives of property and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are:
Years ----- Machinery and equipment 10 Furniture and computers 5 Leasehold improvements 10-15
7. Intangible assets: Tradename rights are being amortized on the straight-line basis over a fifteen year term. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $1,500. F-6 CREATIVE BAKERIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 AND 2002 8. Commitments and contingencies: The Company is obligated under a triple net lease for use of 29,362 square feet of office and plant space in New Jersey with the lease commencing January 31, 1994 and expiring December 31, 2004. The minimum future rentals on the baking facility is as follows:
Facility -------- March 31, 2004 $200,000 March 31, 2005 150,000 -------- $350,000 ========
Rent expense for all operating leases amounted to $57,438 in 2003 and $55,874 in 2002. 9. Income taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS No. 109") "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period, plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. There was no cumulative effect of adoption or current effect in continuing operations mainly because the Company has accumulated a net operating loss. The Company has made no provision for a deferred tax asset due to the net operating loss carryforward because a valuation allowance has been provided which is equal to the deferred tax asset. It cannot be determined at this time that a deferred tax asset is more likely than not to be realized. The Company has a loss carryforward of $8,780,450 that may be offset against future taxable income. The carryforward losses expire at the end of the years 2006 through 2020. F-7 CREATIVE BAKERIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 AND 2002 10. Earnings per share: Primary earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding plus the shares that would have been outstanding assuming conversion of the common stock purchase warrants which are considered to be common stock equivalents. However, according to FASB 128, effective for financial statements issued and annual periods beginning after December 15, 1997, entities with a loss from continuing operations should not include the exercise of potential shares in the calculation of earnings per share since the increase would result in a lower loss per share. Thus, common stock purchase warrants and stock options are excluded from the calculation of earnings per share. Reconciliation of shares used in computation of earnings per share:
2003 2002 --------- --------- Weighted average of shares actually outstanding 5,446,750 5,245,250 --------- --------- Common stock purchase warrants Primary and fully diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 5,446,750 5,245,250 ========= =========
11. Discontinued operations: In 1998, the Company adopted a formal plan to close WGJ Desserts and Cafes, Inc., its New York manufacturing facility, which was done in July of 1998 and to dispose of its one remaining retail store, which was accomplished in November 1998. Total liabilities, less assets to be disposed of, of WGJ Desserts, Inc. consisted of the following as of March 31, 2003: Liabilities: Accounts payable $112,462 Accrued expenses 21,803 -------- 134,265 ======== Assets 0 -------- Net liabilities $134,265 ========
Information relating to discontinued operations for WGJ Desserts and Cafes, Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 is as follows:
2003 2002 ---- ---- Operating expenses $0 $ 0 -- ---- Loss from operations 0 0 Interest income 0 864 -- ---- Income from discontinued operations $0 $864 == ====
F-8 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS A. General Refinement of operations and implementation of financial and manufacturing controls continues to be a major priority of management. Emphasis has been placed in ensuring accurate reporting of financial data. Sales revenues increased slightly in the first quarter of 2003 as compared the same period for 2002. A 2% decrease in the cost of goods sold has resulted in increasing the gross margin percentage by 3.5%. Co-packing opportunities continue to be developed. Mini Cakes, Cheesecake, and pre-portioned gourmet desserts are the categories which represent the most potential for sales growth. In addition, the company is exploring marketing several niche health food items. This includes but is not limited to low carbohydrate desserts. Marketing efforts continue to target both food service and retail distributors to carry our product lines. At December 31, 2002 to the extent the Company may have taxable income in future periods, there is available a net operating loss for federal income tax purposes of approximately $8,680,450 which can be used to reduce the tax on income up to that amount through the year 2019. B. Results of Operations The Company's consolidated revenues from continuing operations aggregated $628,036 and $619,422 for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively, an increase of 1%. The cost of goods sold was $ 574,498 and $586,451 respectively, a decrease of 2%. Operating expenses were $ 173,838 and $155,252 respectively, an increase of 12%. As a result, the loss from continuing operations before other income (expense) was $120,300 and $ 122,281 respectively, a decrease of less than 1%. The net loss from continuing operations for the quarter was $121,840 and $ 122,281 respectively. SEGMENT INFORMATION: Not applicable since retail operations were discontinued. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES LIQUIDITY Since its inception, the Company's only source of working capital has been the $8,455,000 received from the issuance of its securities. As of March 31, 2003, the Company had a negative working capital during the first quarter from continuing operations of $232,036 as compared to a negative working capital of $ 155,359 during the first quarter of 2002. CAPITAL RESOURCES: Although the Company has previously been successful in obtaining sufficient capital funds through issuance of common stock and warrants, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so in the future.
