AMERICAN HOME FOOD PRODUCTS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2010
(UNAUDITED)


1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of American Home Food Products, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. 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 (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results expected for the nine months ended February 28, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending May 31, 2010. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2009. Per share data for the periods are based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during such periods, plus net additional shares issued upon exercise of options and warrants.

2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include investments in money market funds and are stated at cost, which approximates market value. Cash at times may exceed FDIC insurable limits.

Trade Accounts Receivable and Other Receivables, Net

The Company's accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from customers for the sale of its products. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management's estimate of collectability of such trade and notes receivables outstanding. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents an amount considered by management to be adequate to cover potential losses, if any. The recorded allowance at February 28, 2010 and May 31, 2009, was $12,001 and $38,598, respectively.

 
F-4

 
Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues associated with the sale of its products at the time of delivery to customers.

Marketing and Advertising Costs

All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses charged to operations for the nine months ended February 28, 2010 were approximately $42,914.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior quarter amounts presented to conform to the current period presentations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financials statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with guidance issued by the FASB, Share-Based Payment. The Company records compensation expense using a fair-value-based measurement method for all awards granted. In computing the impact, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant based on the Black-Scholes options-pricing model utilizing certain assumptions for a risk free interest rate; volatility; and expected remaining lives of the awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Company’s stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. In estimating the Company’s forfeiture rate, the Company analyzed its historical forfeiture rate, the remaining lives of unvested options, and the amount of vested options as a percentage of total options outstanding. If the Company’s actual forfeiture rate is materially different from its estimate, or if the Company reevaluates the forfeiture rate in the future, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the current period. Equity-based compensation for the nine months ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009 was $77,563 and $58,818, respectively.

 
F-5

 
Net Income/(Loss) Per Share

In accordance with the FASB guidance for, "Earnings Per Share", basic net income/(loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. For the three and nine months ended February 28, 2010, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share since the inclusion of stock options and warrants would be antidilutive. Options have been excluded in the amount of 770,000 for the nine months ended February 28, 2010.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, notes receivable, and accounts payable, approximated fair value as of February 28, 2010, because of the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments and their market interest rates. Since a portion of long-term debt is in default, it is not possible to estimate its value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Any new accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective have been deemed not to be relevant to the operations of the Company, hence the effects of such undisclosed new accounting pronouncements will have no effect on the Company.

6.
NOTES PAYABLE

In February 2009, the Company closed on a revolving line of credit in an amount representing up to 85% of the company’s accounts receivable and 50% of its inventories with a maximum loan amount of $750,000. The cost of this facility was at Prime Rate plus 2%. The Prime Rate at February 28, 2009, was 3.25%. The line of credit was secured by the assets of the Company and had various covenants for collateral management fees, change of control provisions and a guarantee. As of June 1, 2009, two events of default had occurred under the loan. Specifically, the advance against acceptable inventory exceeded the bank’s formula by approximately $20,000 and the Company had not yet paid its past due taxes in full or otherwise subordinated the taxes to the bank in a manner acceptable to the bank. On or about June 1, 2009, the parties executed a Forbearance Agreement pursuant to which the bank agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the original loan document in exchange for the Company’s agreement that, until it provides satisfactory evidence that it has paid the past due taxes have been paid or otherwise subordinated to the bank and until it has raised $1.7 million in cash equity, the interest rate shall be increased to the Prime Rate plus 8%. The forbearance agreement expired July 31, 2009. On or about August 13, 2009, the parties executed a second forbearance agreement pursuant to which the bank agreed to forbear until November 9, 2009, in exchange for a $10,000 forbearance fee, a limitation on the loan against inventory to a maximum of $175,000, and interest to continue at the rate of Prime Rate plus 8%. On or about November 12, 2009, the parties executed a third forbearance agreement pursuant to which the bank agreed to forbear until February 15, 2010, in exchange for a $20,000 forbearance fee, a weekly paydown of the loan against inventory, and the termination of the balance of loan against receivables on or before February 15, 2010. On that date, the Company was in the process of finalizing loan documents with a substitute factoring company. As agreed, no further invoices were submitted to Summit for financing and Summit proceeded to apply all monies received on behalf of the Company to the loan balance. The loan balance on February 28, 2010 was $215,594. In the meantime, the Company received from one of its preferred shareholders and term loan participants an offer to loan the Company $2.5 million conditional upon, among other things, an assignment of the Summit financing documents to the lender. Summit and the Company subsequently agreed that the November 12, 2009 forbearance fee which had been added to the loan balance would be halved. On or about March 3, 2010, Summit agreed to assign and the lender agreed to assume all rights and obligations under the Summit financing documents in exchange for full payment to Summit of the then outstanding amount of $220,080.

Upon closing the Artisanal acquisition, the Company executed two notes payable to the former Artisanal shareholders for $370,000 and $130,000, respectively. The notes each bear interest at 9% per annum and are secured by a first priority security interest in certain intellectual property of the Company. The remaining balance of both notes is $215,760. The notes are due in full on October 15, 2010.

In October 2009, the board approved the Company’s intentions to obtain an $850,000 term loan and to raise an additional $2 million in equity. The board subsequently increased the limit on the term loan to $1,650,000. As of mid-February 2010, the company had secured from existing shareholders a $150,000 bridge loan at an annual interest rate of nine percent (9%) which matured on September 8, 2009 and $1,214,000 of the term loan at an annual interest rate of nine percent (9%) to mature on or about September 10, 2010. The Company has defaulted on repayment of the bridge note by the maturity date, however, the lender has agreed to forbear collection until such time as the Company completes the equity raise. The term loan amount was subsequently reduced to $924,000 (excluding interest) through the repayment of $290,000 to one of the term lenders in exchange in part for a new loan of $2.5 million (see below).

On or about February 22, 2010, the Company entered a loan agreement with one of its preferred shareholders and term loan participants (the "Lender") for a loan of $2.5 million. The loan was conditional upon the Lender obtaining a first security position on all of the Company's assets subject only to the priority security interest of Terrence Brennan and Marvin Numeroff in certain intellectual property of the Company. This required the assignment by Summit Financial Resources LLP to the Lender of Summit's factoring facility dated February 18, 2009 (discussed above). The loan was also conditional upon the Company's repurchase from Lender and its affiliate 500,000 shares of the redeemable convertible preferred stock held by them collectively, repayment to the Lender of amounts Lender had previously advanced to Borrower under the term loan agreements (discussed above), and issuance to Lender of 9,275,000 shares of the Company's $.001 par value common stock representing twenty percent of the Company's outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis. The Lender further required that the Company extend the term of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Daniel W. Dowe's employment agreement for three years from the date of the loan.
 
The Company’s board and the Lender deemed it a requirement that the applicable number of preferred shareholders were to vote to approve the terms of the loan.  It was further determined that each of the preferred shareholders should be offered an opportunity to participate in the loan, including taking the entire investment opportunity away from the investor on the same terms and conditions.  The loan and its terms were proffered to all other preferred shareholders and/or term loan participants, none of whom elected to participate. While the Certificate of Designation governing the Series A Preferred Shares (“the Certificate”) did not specifically state the percentage of shareholders required to vote to modify the Certificate itself, the Certificate requires a vote of 66% of the shares then outstanding to effect certain enumerated transactions.  Accordingly, the company’s board of directors determined to use the 66% approval threshold to effect a modification to the Certificate and for the $2.5 million transaction. Out of the 26 preferred shareholders, 17 shareholders owning 72.7% of the Series A Preferred Shareholders agreed to modify the Certificate to enable the $2.5 million transaction to close. In addition, all of the shareholders that had previously loaned money to the company in the form of a Term Loan, agreed to extend the maturity date of the Term Loan from September 15, 2001 to December 31, 2011 to enable the Company to re-classify the loan into a long-term loan.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The wife of Daniel W. Dowe, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, periodically provides legal and administrative services to the Company. For the quarter ended February 28, 2010, Ms. Dowe received $15,000 for legal and administrative work performed throughout the year for the Company and $10,262 for web-related and marketing services provided over the six month period September 2009 through February 2010. In the three months ended February 28, 2009, Ms. Dowe received $15,000 for legal and administrative work performed throughout the year.

Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Financial Statements and the Notes to the financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The Financial Statements for the nine month period ending February 28, 2010, included in this Form 10-Q are unaudited; however, this information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim period.

Results of Operations

Nine months ending February 28, 2010 versus February 28, 2009

In the nine month period ended February 28, 2010, the Company had sales of $3,317,227 versus $4,640,047 in the corresponding nine month period in 2009. Cost of goods sold in this period was $2,607,777 which was 79% of gross revenues, versus $3,240,096 and 70%, respectively for the same period in 2009.
 
The Company realized a material shortfall in revenue in the 3rd quarter ending February 28, 2010 versus the prior year that was attributable to three factors. The primary factor was anticipated in that the Company’s largest drop ship customer dramatically scaled back its annual holiday offering of exclusive cheese collections created by the Company due to the poor state of the economy and its impact on high-end, specialty food items. This same state of economic conditions curtailed the Company’s own online sales of holiday season gifts and its sales to restaurants, hotels and caterers that all experienced approximately a 30% reduction of holiday related expenditures, particularly, cancelled holiday parties and social events. Lastly, the Company experienced a substantial tightening of credit from its suppliers after the Company’s former lender terminated its factoring agreement the Company used to finance inventory. The Lender only financed accounts receivables until it was paid off by the $2.5 million term loan that was subsequently closed (discussed below). This credit crunch prohibited the Company from purchasing inventory at levels needed to service its then current and new customer base in the wholesale and retail sectors, thus further lowering sales in January and February. The shortfall in inventory was a disappointing factor as the Company continued to field demand for its products from then existing customers.

Notwithstanding these results, the Company did experience a satisfactory roll-out of its new retail cheese program into three major supermarket chains and in road shows and other selling events it undertook with Costco. As of this filing date, all three chains have ordered from the company in the past week and road shows and new marketing events are scheduled with retailer Costco for April with tentative dates for May. The Company has also signed an agreement in March with a tri-state distributor of specialty food products that will be marketing the Company’s products to independent specialty food stores and upscale supermarket chains. Overall, the increased capital from the $2.5 million loan (discussed below) has enabled the Company to maintain higher inventory stocking levels to service its existing customers and to pursue all new channels of business.
 
In this nine month period, the Company recorded a net loss from operations of $1,447,700 versus a net loss of $865,101 for the same period in 2009. The net loss to common shareholders during this period 2010 was $2,107,368 versus a net loss of $1,394,056 during the same period in 2009. Of the net loss, $267,936 was attributable to non-cash stock dividends paid to preferred shareholders during the first two quarters in the form of new preferred shares. In February 2010, the preferred shareholders voted to terminate the preferred stock dividend effective November 30, 2009. The net loss also includes $391,732 was attributable to debt discount relating to the recapitalization of the company (discussed below), interest on the term loan and bridge loan in the form of preferred shares, interest on its revolving line of credit, and long-term debt owed to the former members of Artisanal Cheese LLC. The Company also incurred $56,000 of amortization charges relating to the intangible assets and $136,271 of depreciation on the fixed assets.

On February 28, 2010, the Company had $3,049,346 in current liquid assets, which consisted primarily of cash of $2,410,985, and accounts receivable of $303,988. The Company had inventory of $229,502 and prepaid expenses of $104,871. It also had leasehold improvements and equipment of $604,924 and intangibles of $3,683,461 net of amortization.

Three months ending February 28, 2010 vs. February 28, 2009

In the three month period ended February 28, 2010, the Company had sales of $1,368,820 versus $2,169,963 in sales in the corresponding three month period in 2009. Cost of goods sold in this period was $1,001,829 which was 73% of gross revenues versus $1,454,448 and 67%, respectively, for the same period in 2009. The Company realized a material shortfall in revenue in the 3rd quarter ending February 28, 2010 (see discussion above).

In this three month period, the Company recorded a net loss from operations before income taxes and interest of $364,139 versus a net loss from operations of $61,774 for the same period in 2009. The net loss to common shareholders during this period in 2010 was $499,562 versus a net loss of $72,168 during the same period in 2009.

The Company incurred interest charges $135,423 for the period 2010 versus $10,394 for the period 2009 in interest charges. The Company also incurred $67,775 of depreciation and amortization charges for the three month period 2010.

Liquidity and Financial Resources at February 28, 2010

As of February 28, 2010, the Company had $3,147,749 in current liabilities, which includes $215,760 in notes to the former owners of the Company,; current portion of notes payables to certain vendors of $130,393, as well as a $154,438 bridge note (including interest). The Company had accounts payable of $1,243,547, a revolving line of credit of $215,594, accrued taxes of $480,769, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities totaling $665,680 of which $500,000 represents the short-term liability relating to the Company's recapitalization (discussed below). The Company’s current liabilities also include outstanding prepaid gift certificates and other deferred revenue totaling $41,567.

In February 2009, the Company closed on a revolving line of credit in an amount representing up to 85% of the company’s accounts receivable and 50% of its inventories with a maximum loan amount of $750,000. The cost of this facility is at Prime Rate plus 2%. The Prime Rate at closing was 3.25%. The line of credit is secured by the assets of the Company and has various covenants for collateral management fees, change of control provisions and a guarantee. As of June 1, 2009, two events of default had occurred under the loan. Specifically, the advance against acceptable inventory exceeded the bank’s formula by approximately $20,000 and the Company had not yet paid its past due taxes in full or otherwise subordinated the taxes to the bank in a manner acceptable to the bank. On or about June 1, 2009, the parties executed a Forbearance Agreement pursuant to which the bank agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the original loan document in exchange for the Company’s agreement that, until it provides satisfactory evidence that it has paid the past due taxes have been paid or otherwise subordinated to the bank and until it has raised $1.7 million in cash equity, the interest rate shall be increased to Prime Rate plus 8%. The forbearance agreement expired July 31, 2009. On or about August 13, 2009, the parties executed a second forbearance agreement pursuant to which the bank agreed to forbear until November 9, 2009, in exchange for a $10,000 forbearance fee, a limitation on the loan against inventory to a maximum of $175,000, and interest to continue at the rate of Prime Rate plus 8%. On or about November 12, 2009, the parties executed a third forbearance agreement pursuant to which the bank agreed to forbear until February 15, 2010, in exchange for a $20,000 forbearance fee, a weekly paydown of the loan against inventory, and the termination of the balance of loan against receivables on or before February 15, 2010. On that date, the Company was in the process of finalizing loan documents with a substitute factoring company. As agreed, no further invoices were submitted to Summit for financing and Summit proceeded to apply all monies received on behalf of the Company to the loan balance. The loan balance on February 28, 2010 was $215,594. In the meantime, the Company received from one of its preferred shareholders and term loan participants an offer to loan the Company $2.5 million conditional upon, among other things, an assignment of the Summit financing documents to the lender. Summit and the Company subsequently agreed that the November 12, 2009 forbearance fee would be halved. On or about March 3, 2010, Summit agreed to assign and the lender agreed to assume all rights and obligations under the Summit financing documents in exchange for full payment to Summit of the then outstanding amount of $220,080.

In October 2009, the board approved the Company’s intentions to obtain an $850,000 term loan and to raise an additional $2 million in equity. As of mid-February 2010, the company had secured from existing shareholders a $150,000 bridge loan at an annual interest rate of nine percent (9%) which matured on September 8, 2009 and $1,214,000 of the term loan at an annual interest rate of nine percent (9%) to mature on or about September 10, 2010. The Company has defaulted on repayment of the bridge note by the maturity date, however, the lender has agreed to forbear collection until such time as the Company completes the equity raise. The term loan amount was subsequently reduced to $924,000 (excluding interest) through the repayment of $290,000 to one of the term lenders in exchange in part for a new loan of $2.5 million (see below).

On or about February 22, 2010, the Company entered a loan agreement with one of its preferred shareholders and term loan participants (the "Lender") for a loan of $2.5 million. The loan was conditional upon the Lender obtaining a first security position on all of the Company's assets subject only to the priority security interest of Terrence Brennan and Marvin Numeroff in certain intellectual property of the Company. This required the assignment by Summit Financial Resources LLP to the Lender of Summit's factoring facility dated February 18, 2009 (discussed above). The loan was also conditional upon the Company's repurchase from Lender and its affiliate 500,000 shares of the redeemable convertible preferred stock held by them collectively, repayment to the Lender of amounts Lender had previously advanced to Borrower under the term loan agreements (discussed above), and issuance to Lender of 9,275,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock twenty percent of the issued and outstanding $.001 par value common stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis. The Lender further required that the Company extend the term of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Daniel W. Dowe's employment agreement for three years from the date of the loan.
 
The Company’s board and the Lender deemed it a requirement that the applicable number of preferred shareholders were to vote to approve the terms of the loan.  It was further determined that each of the preferred shareholders should be offered an opportunity to participate in the loan, including taking the entire investment opportunity away from the investor on the same terms and conditions.  The loan and its terms were proffered to all other preferred shareholders and/or term loan participants, none of whom elected to participate.  While the Certificate of Designation governing the Series A Preferred Shares (“the Certificate”) did not specifically state the percentage of shareholders required to vote to modify the Certificate itself, the Certificate requires a vote of 66% of the shares then outstanding to effect certain enumerated transactions.  Accordingly, the company’s board of directors determined to use the 66% approval threshold to effect a modification to the Certificate and for the $2.5 million transaction. Out of the 26 preferred shareholders, 17 shareholders owning 72.7% of the Series A Preferred Shareholders agreed to modify the Certificate to enable the $2.5 million transaction to close. In addition, all of the shareholders that had previously loaned money to the company in the form of a Term Loan, agreed to extend the maturity date of the Term Loan from September 15, 2001 to December 31, 2011 to enable the Company to re-classify the loan into a long-term loan.

With the expansion of sales into specialty, big-box and chain retail markets, the Company believes its cash flow will be sufficient to meet its fixed monthly expenses. The Company generates cash from the sales of its product. Wholesale and retail customers purchasing on an open account basis have 30-day payment terms. All others sales pertaining to cheese and related items from our print catalog or website or sales relating to classes at the cheese center are paid through credit card which generally settle within three days of purchase.

For so long as more than $1,500,000 of the Preferred stock is issued and outstanding, the Company shall require the prior written consent of holders representing two-thirds of the Preferred stock issued and outstanding to (a) sell, merge with, acquire or consolidate with another business entity, (b) incur additional leverage beyond the leverage contemplated by the Company and Holders as part of the Company’s acquisition of Artisanal Cheese, LLC, or (c) issue any new shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into Common Stock in excess of 2% of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis as of August 14, 2007. At no time shall such securities be sold or granted at a price less than the thirty cents ($.30) per share Conversion Price. If the Company cannot obtain the requisite two-thirds approval, these restrictions may affect our liquidity and our ability to execute our business plan. The Company has obtained the required amount of consents with regard to the recent financing and share issuances.

All long-term liabilities are payable to the previous owners of Artisanal Cheese LLC and are being repaid in accordance with the terms of the governing instruments.

Until November 30, 2009, the cost to carry the preferred stock was a dividend of 12% payable in stock In February, 2010, more than two-thirds of the preferred shareholders voted to eliminate the dividend altogether effective December 1, 2009.

Inflation and Changing Prices

The Company does not foresee any risks associated with inflation or substantial price increases in the near future. In addition, the cheeses that are selected by the Company in its affinage process are often available from various sources. As such, while the Company has exposure to inflation, it does not believe that inflation will have any materially significant impact on its operations in the near future.

The Company does not foresee any increase in costs that cannot be passed on to its customer in the ordinary course of business. The company adjusts its wholesale and online prices throughout the year to reflect increase costs attributable to increases in energy prices. Under very limited circumstances, the Company has entered into agreements with certain customers for which the Company provides third-party drop-ship fulfillment with contracted pricing for various cheese collections. The Company, in turn, usually has a corresponding agreement with the cheese suppliers whose products are incorporated into these collections for fixed prices to ensure that the company achieves its anticipated gross margin.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure on contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes that its critical accounting policies are limited to those described below. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies see Note 2 to our financial statements.

Long-Lived Assets (including Tangible and Intangible Assets)

We acquired businesses in recent years, which resulted in intangible assets being recorded. The determination of the value of such intangible assets requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect our consolidated financial statements. We assess potential impairment to the intangible and tangible assets on a quarterly basis or when evidence of events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators, if any, and future cash flows related to these assets are based on operational performance of our business, market conditions and other factors.

Accounting for Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing our financial statements we are required to estimate our income taxes. Management judgment is required in determining our provision of our deferred tax asset. We recorded a valuation for the full deferred tax asset from our net operating losses carried forward due to the Company not demonstrating any consistent profitable operations. In the event that the actual results may differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods we may need to adjust such valuation recorded.

Stock-Based Compensation

The computation of the expense associated with stock-based compensation requires the use of a valuation model. The application of other FASB guidance requires significant judgment and the use of estimates, particularly surrounding Black-Scholes assumptions such as stock price volatility, expected option lives, and expected option forfeiture rates, to value equity-based compensation. The Company currently uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of its stock options. The Company primarily uses historical data to determine the assumptions to be used in the Black-Scholes model and has no reason to believe that future data is likely to differ materially from historical data. However, changes in the assumptions to reflect future stock price volatility and future stock award exercise experience could result in a change in the assumptions used to value awards in the future and may result in a material change to the fair value calculation of stock-based awards. The accounting guidance requires the recognition of the fair value of stock compensation in net income. Although every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of our estimates and assumptions, significant unanticipated changes in those estimates, interpretations and assumptions may result in recording stock option expense that may materially impact our financial statements for each respective reporting period.

Controls and Procedures

(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of our president who is also the chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the president/chief financial officer concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including the president/chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company’s management, including the president/chief financial officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or its internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within American Home Food Products, Inc. can be prevented.

(b)
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). The Company’s management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2010. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of February 28, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria. This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this quarterly report.

(c)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
