DIAMOND RANCH FOODS, LTD.  

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  

SEPTEMBER 30, 2007

 

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to recoverability and classification of recorded amounts of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company incurred an operating loss of $231,093 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 and a net operating loss of $232,138 for the six months then ended, it has a negative stockholders equity of $2,288,924 and has a negative current ratio of $732,149.

The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to continue to execute its operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance the necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

Management plans include acquiring additional meat processing and distribution operations and obtaining additional financing to fund payment of obligations and to provide working capital for operations and to finance future growth. The Company is actively pursuing alternative financing and has had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have been obtained. In the interim, shareholders of the Company have committed to meeting its operating expenses. Management believes these efforts will generate sufficient cash flows from future operations to pay the Company's obligations and realize other assets. There is no assurance any of these transactions will occur.

Organization and Basis of Presentation

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on November 30, 1942 under the name Jerry's Inc. The Company ceased all operating activities during the period from January 1, 1998 to March 8, 2004 and was considered dormant. On March 8, 2004 the Company changes its domicile to the State of Nevada. On March 30, 2004, the company changed its name to Diamond Ranch Foods, Ltd.

On May 1, 2004, the shareholders of the Diamond Ranch Foods, Ltd. (formerly Jerry's Inc.) completed a stock purchase agreement with MBC Foods, Inc., a Nevada corporation. The merger was accounted for as a reverse merger, with MBC Foods, Inc. being treated as the acquiring entity for financial reporting purposes. In connection with this merger, Diamond Ranch Foods, Ltd. (formerly Jerry's Inc.) issued 31,607,650 shares of common stock for the acquisition of MBC Foods, Inc. which was recorded as a reverse merger and shown on the Statement of Stockholders Equity as a net issuance of 25,692,501 shares.

For financial reporting purposes, MBC Foods, Inc. was considered the new reporting entity.

Nature of Business

The Company is a meat processing and distribution company located in the historic Gansevoort "meatpacking district" in lower Manhattan, NY. The Companies operations consist of packing, processing, labeling, and distributing products to a customer base, including, but not limited to; in-home food service businesses, retailers, hotels, restaurants, and institutions, deli and catering operators, and industry suppliers.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of accounting policies for Diamond Ranch Foods, Ltd. is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and statement of operations for the year then ended. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for allowance for bad debts, collect ability of accounts receivable, amounts due to service providers, depreciation and litigation contingencies, among others.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.

Revenue recognition

The Company derives its revenue from the sale of meat products, and the revenue is recognized when the product is delivered to the customer.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company has no significant off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred. As of September 30, 2007, depreciation is computed as follows:

 Total depreciation expense for the year at September 30, 2007and 2006 was 35,464 and 42,918 respectively.

 

7


Earnings per Share

Basic gain or loss per share has been computed by dividing the loss for the period applicable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the years. There are no dilutive outstanding common stock equivalents as of September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No.109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS No.109 requires recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences, based on enacted tax laws, of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.

Comprehensive Loss

The Company has comprehensive losses which are the difference between the market price of securities received and their value at September 30, 2007.  

Inventory

Inventory consists of finished meat products, and is valued at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out basis (FIFO), or market value.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of publicly-traded securities that are classified as available-for-sale securities.  On the balance sheet, available-for-sale securities are classified as current assets.  Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair market value based upon quoted market prices.  Unrealized gains and losses, net of related income taxes, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity (deficit).  

Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are recorded in other income (expense) and are computed using the specific identification method.  During the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Company sold available-for-sale securities for a realized loss of $1,039,196, which is included in other income (expense).  

The Company’s policy for assessing recoverability of its available-for-sale securities is to record a charge against net earnings when the Company determines that a decline in the fair value of a security drops below the cost basis and  judges that decline to be other-than-temporary.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises' financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributable for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognizing, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transitions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any, FIN 48 will have on its financial position and operations.


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measures" ("SFAS No. 157"). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, however the FASB anticipates that for some entities, the application of SFAS No. 157 will change current practice. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Company would be its fiscal year beginning November 1, 2008. The implementation of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

 

8



In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)". This statement requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multi-employer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.


In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (Topic 1N), "Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements" ("SAB No. 108"). SAB No. 108 addresses how the effect of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires SEC registrants (i) to quantify misstatements using a combined approach which considers both the balance sheet and income statement approaches; (ii) to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors; and (iii) to adjust their financial statements if the new combined approach results in a conclusion that an error is material. SAB No. 108 addresses the mechanics of correcting misstatements that include effects from prior years. It indicates that the current year correction of a material error that includes prior year effects may result in the need to correct prior year financial statements even if the misstatement in the prior year or years is considered immaterial. Any prior year financial statements found to be materially misstated in years subsequent to the issuance of SAB No. 108 would be restated in accordance with SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections." Because the combined approach represents a change in practice, the SEC staff will not require registrants that followed an acceptable approach in the past to restate prior years' historical financial statements. Rather, these registrants can report the cumulative effect of adopting the new approach as an adjustment to the current year's beginning balance of retained earnings. If the new approach is adopted in a quarter other than the first quarter, financial statements for prior interim periods within the year of adoption may need to be restated. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, which for Company would be its fiscal year beginning December 1, 2007. The implementation of SAB No. 108 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

NOTE 3-MARKETABLE SECURITIES

In February 2007, a stockholder contributed to capital marketable securities consisting of free trading stock in a public entity. The Company valued this contribution at the market price. The Company then sold most of their position realizing a loss on securities of $35,570 thru March 31, 2007 and then $1,039,196 for the six months ended September 30, 2007. The Company has valued their remaining shares held at market, which resulted in an unrealized loss of $224,273. At September 30, 2007 the Company held 1,393,000 shares of stock valued at .044 per share for a value of $61,292.

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

As of March 31, 2007, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $4,700,000 to be offset against future taxable income through 2026. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements, because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carry-forwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carry-forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.


                                2007                2006
                         ------------------  ------------------
Net Operating Losses                872,113             557,003
Depreciation                           -                 53,120

                         ------------------  ------------------
                                         -                   -
                         ==================  ==================

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed using the federal US statutory income tax rate as follows:


                                                  2007             2006
                                           ------------------  ---------------
Provision (Benefit) at US Statutory Rate            (392,451)        (256,221)
Depreciation                                            -             (24,435)
Increase (Decrease) in Valuation Allowance           392,451          280,656

                                                           -                -
                                           ==================  ===============

The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and cause a change in management's judgment about the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation is reflected in current income.

NOTE 5 - OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Companies operating facility is a New York City-owned property consisting of 7,000 sq. ft. The Company leases the space on a month-to-month basis.

Total rental expense for the six months ended September 30, 2007, and 2006 was  $117,222 and $123,007.

NOTE 6 - CAPITAL LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Company has entered into capital leases for the purchase of equipment. The future minimum lease payments are as follows:


       Year               Lease Payment

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company would receive 90 percent of the purchase price up front and 10 percent would be held in reserves until the receivables are collected. The term of the agreement is one year, renewable at the Corporations discretion. A discount charge of nine tenths of one per cent is charged, with increases based upon a time frame of receivables outstanding. Receivables over 90 days are returned to the Company.

These factoring lines of credit have been treated as a secured financing arrangement. As of September 30, 2007, the company had factored receivables in the amount of $1,172,348 and recorded a liability of $1,159,648. Discount provided during factoring of the accounts receivable have been expensed on the accompanying Statements of Operations as Factoring Fees.

NOTE 8 – LOANS PAYABLE

As of September 30, 2007, the Company has an outstanding note payable to a shareholder in the amount of $1,476,000. This loan carries with it an interest rate of 5% and no payments of interest or principal are due until the due date of September 30, 2009.   

In September 2006, the Company received $100,000 for a convertible note bearing interest at 7.5%, convertible at 12/31/2007 to common stock at 12/31/2007 if not repaid.

Both loans have been classified as long term loans payable and accrued interest on these loans is $170,531 at September 30, 2007.

NOTE 9 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As of September 2007, shareholders have advanced the Company $134,554 payable on demand and do not carry an interest rate. This transaction has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements as Subordinated Debt as it is their intention to convert this loan to capital.

NOTE 10-SIGNIFICANT EVENT

In June of 2007 the Company has agreed in principle with a Company to act as its purchasing agent whereby the agent would guarantee payments to the suppliers of the Company, which would enable the Company to gain substantially better terms and prices for their products. In turn the Company, if the agreement is finalized will agree to issued the agent an unspecified amount of restricted stock for consideration.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS

This statement includes projections of future results and "forward looking statements" as that term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements that are included in this Quarterly Report, other than statements of historical fact, are forward looking statements. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in these forward looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct.

SALES

Our revenues from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007 were $2,872,682 compared to $2,889,508 for 2006, a slight decrease or $16,826.

Revenues for the six months were $6,421,071 for 2007 compared to $5,636,955 for 2006 an increase of $784,116 or 14%.

    The above indicates greater sales, which was mainly a result of the takeover of an existing business a year ago.

The company continues to work on a daily basis to bring in new product, either by the request of the customer, or by management's initiative, to capture more of our existing customers' business. Using a personal approach with customers, our salesmen work to satisfy their specific needs as well as their general product requirements. We intend to grow at a steady and proportionate rate, and therefore, would project that the coming quarter's growth increase would be the same ratio of 80% existing customer vs. 20% new customer. To continue operations in a controlled and manageable fashion, we seek to add approximately 5 new customers per week, or approximately 20 customers per month.

COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT

Our cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $2,358,905, generating a gross profit of $513,777, or 17.88%.

Cost of Sales for the same period in 2006 was $2,266,294, resulting in a gross profit of $623,214 or 21.57%.

Cost of Sales for the six months were $5,071,612 compared to $4,405,476 in 2006 resulting in a gross profit in 2007 of $1,349,459 compared to $1,231,479 in 2006. Gross Profit as a percentage of sales was virtually the same as it was in 2007, 21.02% and in 2006 21.84%. Management expects gross profits to increase as revenues increase and the cost of sales decrease.

EXPENSES

Our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $744,870, which was an increase of $160,337 over the amount of $584,533 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This increase was mostly attributable to the increase in size of our workforce due to the assumption of the new enterprise a year ago and ongoing costs.

Our expenses for the six months were $1,581,587 compared to $1,065,597, an increase of $515,990. This again was mostly attributed to an increase in workforce, and sales commissions based upon higher revenues.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the six months ended September 30, 2007; the Company's cash provided by operating activities totaled $665,313 and cash used for financing activities was $488,704.

PLAN OF OPERATION

For the next twelve months we plan to operate the business using our new methods. We will continue to outsource manufactured products. We will continue to increase sales using commission-based salesmen. We are able to satisfy our cash requirements, material commitments, and applicable filing fees anticipated under our obligations of the Exchange Act. Management is committed to supplement any cash shortfall, or relinquish their salaries, or a portion thereof, if cash flow from operations does not cover our cash requirements. Certain shareholders of the Company have also committed to meet our operating expenses if needed.

Management continuously evaluates operating practices and is ready to make modifications to our present-day operations when necessary. We feel our attempts to be more efficient have proven viable.  With a continuous increase in revenues and the continued implementation of stringent purchasing controls, we believe an increase in gross profit will occur, leading to increased net profits. The Company's long-term existence is dependent upon our ability to execute our operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing to fund payment of obligations, provide working capital for operations. There can be no assurance the necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

We intend to expand our business through acquisitions of additional meat distribution operations, but would require obtaining debt or equity financing to finance this future growth as is indicated in our auditor's going concern opinion. In preparation for such expansion, we have engaged in several substantive discussions with prospective equity investors. To date, no terms have been finalized or contracts signed, and although there is no guarantee, we anticipate finalizing favorable financing terms for our business to continue as a going concern.

SALES AND COLLECTION PROCEDURES

We retained the services of a new factor to act as our invoice factoring company. They fully manage our sales ledger and provide us with credit control and collection services of all our outstanding debts. We send all of our sales invoices and receive a 90% cash advance of the invoice amount. The balance, less service fee, is paid when the customer makes payment directly to them.

We elect to factor our receivables to immediately access cash owed to our company so it may be used to purchase the raw materials for our products whose vendors require payment on receipt. By having our cash unlocked from the unpaid invoices, we are afforded a smoother, more consistent cash flow, which enhances purchasing power and provides for the accurate prediction of payment.   Typically, we'd have to wait 30-45 days to receive payment on invoices for products that have already been delivered, not accounting for late-payers. Because we offer our customers payment terms, there is a minimal time period that must elapse prior to our reimbursement by the factoring company. We have a sizeable customer base, we don't rely on any few customers to sustain operations, and our clientele does have favorable reputations in the industry, but we still elect not to be dependent on timely payments for our receivables since these funds need to be recycled for our next-day fresh product purchases. Working with an invoice factoring company eliminates the threat of non-payment, cash shortfalls, and enables an increased focus on revenue generation than bill collection.

ACQUISITIONS

We will need to raise additional funds should management decide to acquire existing like-minded businesses. Certain candidates have been identified however no definitive agreements exist. We have targeted several businesses for acquisition in New York City. We would acquire 100% of the stock and operations of these entities, including, without limitation, all rights, title know-how, assignment of property leases, equipment, furnishings, inventories, processes, trade names, trademarks, goodwill, and other assets of every nature used in the entities' operations.

All of the facilities that may be acquired are centrally located within the historic Gansevoort market in lower Manhattan, thus affording the company the ability to take advantage of the economies of scale for delivery, purchasing, and other daily operating responsibilities.

If we were successful in raising funds through the sale of our common stock, and will be able to enter into negotiations for the purchase of any and/or all of the selected businesses, initially no changes in day-to-day operations in any acquired facilities would be necessary.

No negotiations have taken place, and no contracts have been entered into, to purchase any such businesses described herein. We assume that if such purchase(s) were to be completed, additional funds would be required to renovate the existing facilities, as well as improve or replace machinery as prescribed by the existing landlord or pursuant to USDA regulation.

We anticipate no significant changes in the number of employees within the next twelve months.

TRENDS

Management has perceived a variety of recent trends that have had a material impact on our current revenues and our projected revenues for the coming quarters. Meat consumption has dramatically increased overall due to dieting habits; most famously known is The Atkins Diet, as well as other diets, that emphasize high-protein, low-carbohydrate intake. These diets suggest eating meats, including red, instead of high carbohydrate foods, and specifically recommend avoiding refined carbohydrates. High protein consumption has become a part of American culture, more than a societal tendency, in that in order to meet increasing customer requests for low-carb type items, one of our customers, TGI Friday's, has become an Atkins Nutritional Approach partner by featuring a selection of Atkins-approved menu items. We consider that the market research conducted by this customer was ample to effectuate such a menu change and concurs with our perception that the demand for beef, poultry, and other meats is a continuing and upwards trend. We substantiate the same claims through our own customers' purchasing trends which are evidenced by our increased revenues. The marketplace also indicates that poultry consumption is rising steadily. In order to maximize this trend, we are expanding our pre-cooked poultry offerings to all food providers, as well as those without full-service cooking establishments. Aside from the lack of a cooking facility, many purveyors seek pre-cooked poultry for safety reasons since these products offer a significantly low safety risk at causing bacterial cross-contamination. We offer pre-cooked items currently, and feel that making the investment to market these products under own branded name will increase our revenue due to heightened product awareness and our reputation for quality-conscious production methods.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
