| NOTE 1 - | CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at September 30, 2009 and 2008 and for all periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.

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

c. Income Tax
We file federal income tax returns in the U.S. and state income tax returns in those state jurisdictions where we are required to file. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before June 30, 2006.
We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (ASC Topic 740), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48, no adjustment should be made for unrecognized tax benefits.
There are no tax positions included in the balance at September 30, 2009 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.
Our policy is to recognize accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.
d. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the FASB issued FAS 165 (ASC Topic 855), “Subsequent Events”. This pronouncement establishes standards for accounting for and disclosing subsequent events (events which occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued). FAS 165 requires an entity to disclose the date subsequent events were evaluated and whether that evaluation took place on the date financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FAS 165 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 166 (ASC Topic 810), “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” an amendment of FAS 140. FAS 140 is intended to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets: the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance , and cash flows: and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 166 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

d. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 167 (ASC Topic 810), “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) ”. FAS 167 is intended to (1) address the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in FAS 166, and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provided timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. This statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 167 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 168 (ASC Topic 105), “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. FAS 168 will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 168 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
NOTE 3 - - SHAREHOLDER LOAN
A shareholder has advanced the Company $12,413 as of September 30 2009. The loans accrue interest at 8.0% per annum. Accrued interest at September 30, 2009 was $659. The loans are due on demand.

NOTE 4 - - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plans to obtain such resources for the Company include (1) obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses, and (2) seeking out and completing a merger with an existing operating company. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 5 - - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through November 13, 2009.
| Item 2. | Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Going Concern
As indicated in a footnote to our financial statements we have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs and to allow us to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on us securing and maintaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable. If we are unable to increase revenues or secure adequate financing in the near future, allowing us to fully implement our business plan, our ability to continue as a going concern may be compromised, and we could be forced to cease operations.
Plan of Operation
During the next 12 months we will continue our search for a joint venture candidate with whom we can contract to sub-lease industrial-quality kitchen facilities for our fudge production processes. It is our hope to consummate such a joint venture such that our partner will agree to accept a percentage of earnings as payment for the lease of the kitchen facility, so as to minimize the amount of up-front capital required. If we are unable to consummate such venture, we will continue to search for a facility with adequate space and kitchen equipment such that we can rent the facility on a seasonal basis, when demand for our fudge products is at its highest. If current available funds are not sufficient to complete the facilities as desired, it may be necessary for us to seek funds from our directors or principal stockholders or from outside financing. We anticipate that any facility we locate will be able to accommodate the packaging of products.
We are also in the early stages of updating our website (www.greatestfudgeonearth.com) so as to accommodate online orders. It is our hope that this process will allow for minimal sales staff and minimal advertising expenses. We will also continue selling products at local retail outlets and in booths located at special events, fairs and festivals.
As of September 30, 2009, we had $1,265 in cash and management anticipates needing additional capital to continue operations for the remainder of 2009. If revenues do not provide sufficient funds to continue operations, we may need to seek additional financing. Any additional funds would most likely come from current directors, although directors are under no obligation to provide additional funding and there is no assurance outside funding will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
We expect that future facilities will be rented with equipment adequate to handle anticipated production. Therefore, we do not anticipate making any significant capital expenditures in the immediate future for new equipment or other assets. If additional equipment becomes necessary, we will most likely rely on outside funding.
We presently do not have any full time employees. We expect to add employees only if business warrants. Further, we believe that in the event increased business necessitates additional employees, we will be able to pay the added expenses of these employees from increased revenues.
Our plan of operations for the next twelve months will focus on completing development of our Internet website and building a customer base for our products. This 12-month plan of operations includes our goals of:
● searching for adequate kitchen facilities or a joint venture candidate;
● increasing revenues from sales of candy products;
| ● | expanding our marketing area to include communities outside the Salt Lake City metropolitan area; |
| ● | expanding the Internet business to be able to attract new customers, regardless of location, which will create an expanded mail order business; |
| ● | hiring additional employees and/or independent contractors if we are successful in expanding our business and adequate funds are available; and |
● attaining profitability.
To achieve these goals during the next twelve months, we intend to exploit our Internet website to the extent possible and create new business by advertising, as funds permit. Management believes that these plans can be successfully implemented.
Results of Operations
For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
We did not realize any revenues during the three-month periods (“third quarter”) ended September 30, 2009 or 2008. During the third quarter of 2009, we incurred a net loss of $3,787 compared to a $11,706 loss during the third quarter of 2008. The decreased loss for the third quarter of 2009 is attributed to the 70% decrease in general and administrative expenses from $11,658 for the 2008 period compared to $3,539 for the 2009 period, primarily due to a reduction in legal and accounting costs related to the preparation and filing with the SEC of our requisite periodic reports.
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
We did not realize any revenues during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 or 2008 and incurred a net loss of $18,149 for the 2009 period compared to a $31,610 loss for the 2008 period. The decreased loss for the first nine months of 2009 is attributed to the 44% decrease in general and administrative expenses from $31,430 for the 2008 period compared to $17,719 for the 2009 period, also due to reduced legal and accounting costs.
In the opinion of management, inflation has not and will not have a material effect on our operations in the immediate future.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2009, we had cash on hand of $1,265 compared to $8,484 at December 31, 2008. The decrease in cash is attributed primarily to the payment of ongoing expenses and not realizing revenues during the period.
We estimate cash requirements for the next twelve months to be approximately $25,000. Current cash on hand will not be sufficient and if we do not realize adequate revenues, we will need to seek additional funding. We have no agreements or arrangements for future capital. We have received $10,000 during the first nine months from a stockholder. If management or stockholders are unable to provide additional future funding, if the need arises, we may have to look at alternative sources of funding. We do not have any firm plans as to the source of this alternative funding and there is no assurance that such funds will be available or, that even if they are available, that they will be available on terms that will be acceptable to us. In the event we are unable to secure necessary future funding, we may have to curtail our business or cease operations completely.
At September 30, 2009, we had total assets of $1,265 in cash and a stockholders' deficit of $11,806, compared to total assets of $8,484 in cash and a stockholders' equity of $5,843 at December 31, 2008.
Net Operating Loss
We have accumulated approximately $119,657 of net operating loss carryforwards through December 31, 2008, which may be offset against taxable income and income taxes in future years. The use of these losses to reduce future income taxes will depend on the generation of sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards. The carry forwards expire in the year 2028. In the event of certain changes in control, there will be an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that can be used. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 or nine months ended September 30, 2009 because there is a 50% or greater chance that the carryforward will not be used. Accordingly, the potential tax benefit of the loss carryforward is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements relating to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will” “should," “expect," "intend," "plan," anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "continue," or similar terms, variations of such terms or the negative of such terms. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. Although forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment, actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
This item is not required for a smaller reporting company.
Item 4(T). Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure and control procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and principal accounting officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and principal accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives. Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, management is required to apply its reasonable judgment. Based on the evaluation described above, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, have concluded that, as of September 30, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, except for those events discussed below.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Management has evaluated whether any change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Based on its evaluation, management, including the chief executive officer and principal accounting officer, concluded that there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
