Our Business
Chocolate Candy Creations, Inc.
We were formed as a Delaware corporation on November 1, 2006 to manufacture and sell specialized chocolate, other candy, cookie and cake products. As of December 31, 2007, we had generated $6,623 of revenue from operations, and had a cumulative loss since inception of ($17,087). Alyssa Cohen, our president, and chief executive officer, is our only employee. We conduct business under the name "Smiles On Chocolate".
We manufacture and sell specialty promotional chocolate, other candy, cookie and cake products on which color images are printed using a portable computer system (the "System") we purchased from its manufacturer, Chocolate Printing Company, Inc. ("CPC"). The System incorporates certain patented technologies and proprietary software owned by CPC and was purchased from CPC for cash and shares of our common stock valued at $1.00 per share. We sell our products for consumption at events such as parties, weddings, business conferences, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs and charity events. These customized products include specialized chocolate products such as lollipops, portraits, CD's, trading cards and business cards. Through December 31, 2007, we had fulfilled approximately 145 orders for our products, which generated $6,623 of revenues.
We believe that our business can grow in two ways. The first would be to expand internally by hiring more employees, purchasing or leasing additional Systems, offering additional product lines and selling additional products. The s econd would be through acquisitions or mergers with other entities in our or other businesses.
Our address is 130 Shore Road, Suite 238, Port Washington, New York 11050, telephone (516) 238-5535, fax (516) 706-4345.
References to "we," "us," "our" and similar words refer to Chocolate Candy Creations, Inc.
Sale of Securities to the Selling Stockholders
In December 2007, we sold, in a private placement, 620 units, each unit consisting of 100 shares of common stock, at $1.00 per share, to 100 accredited investors. No brokerage commissions or other compensation was paid to any third party with respect to the units sold in the private placement.
Pursuant to the terms of the private placement we were required to use our reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement within 120 days after the final closing date of the private placement which occurred on December 28, 2007. We intend to register our common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Securities Exchange Act"). As a result we will become a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act and will file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other required reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. In determining whether to purchase our securities, you should carefully consider all of the material risks described below, together with the other information contained in this prospectus before making a decision to purchase our securities. You should only purchase our securities if you can afford to suffer the loss of your entire investment.
Risks That Relate to Our Business
We have a very limited operating history, limited revenues and only minimal assets.
We have a very limited operating history and limited revenues to date. We have no significant assets or financial resources. We have had losses and they are likely to continue in the near future. No assurance can be given that we will be able to develop our business organically or through mergers or acquisitions.
We need to obtain financing in order to continue our operations.
On a prospective basis, we will require both short-term financing for operations and long-term capital to fund our expected growth. We have no existing bank lines of credit and have not established any definitive sources for additional financing. Based on our current operating plan, we believe we have enough cash to meet our anticipated cash requirements for approximately 12-24 months. We will likely require additional funds if we want to fully implement our business plan and take advantage of evolving market conditions. Additional financing may not be available to us, or if available, then it may not be available upon terms and conditions acceptable to us. If adequate funds are not available, then we may be required to delay, reduce or eliminate product development or marketing programs. Our inability to take advantage of opportunities in the industry because of capital constraints may have a material adverse effect on our business and our prospects.
We face intense competition, which could harm our business.
Our market is relatively new, intensely competitive, highly fragmented and subject to rapid technological change. We expect competition to intensify and increase over time because there are few barriers to entering the specialty chocolate candy product manufacturing ma rket.
We compete against other manufacturers of specialized chocolate and other candy products, including other buyers of Systems, as well as a number of different types of companies that are not in the candy and nonspecialized chocolate candy markets, such as companies that sell party favors.
Almost all of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger established client bases, longer client relationships and significantly greater financial, technical, personnel and marketing resources than we do. Many of our competitors have retail store locations.
-3-
Our competitors may be able to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and make more attractive offers to potential customers, employees and strategic partners. Further, our competitors may produce chocolate candy products that are equal or superior to our products or that achieve greater market acceptance than our products. Although we have nonexclusive rights to use certain patented technologies and software owned by CPC (the "Technologies") which are incorporated in the System, we do not have any exclusive rights to patented or other proprietary technology that would limit competitors from duplicating our product
offerings. We must rely on the skills of our personnel and the quality of our service to our customers.
Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, reduced gross margins additional marketing expenses and loss of market share, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against existing or future competitors.
Our efforts to raise awareness of our corporate identity may not be successful, which may limit our ability to expand our client base and attract acquisition candidates and employees.
We believe that building our corporate identity is critical for attracting and expanding our customer base and attracting employees. If we do not continue to build our corporate identity, we may not be able to effect our strategy. Our success will be predicated on providing high quality, reliable and cost-effective products. If customers do not deem our products as meeting their needs, or if we fail to market our products effectively, we will be unsuccessful in maintaining and strengthening our corporate identity. Further, we generally rely on "word of mouth" to obtain new customers which will only happen if our customers are satisfied with our products and service.
Changes in raw material and other costs and selling price increases
We use many different commodities for our business, including cocoa, sugar, milk and corn sweeteners. Commodities are subject to price volatility caused by commodity market fluctuations, the quality and availability of supply, weather, currency fluctuations, speculative influences, trade agreements among producing and consuming nations, political unrest in producing countries, consumer demand and changes in governmental agricultural programs. Commodity price increases ultimately result in corresponding increases to customers in the form of higher product prices; however, higher product prices may also result in a reduction in sales volume. If we are not able to increase price realization and productivity to offset increased raw material costs, or if sales volume is significantly reduced, it could have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
Market demand for new and existing products
We operate in highly competitive markets and rely on continued demand for our products. To generate revenues and profits, we must sell products that appeal to our customers. Continued success is dependent on product innovation, including maintaining a strong pipeline of new products and appropriate advertising campaigns and marketing programs. In addition, success depends on our response to consumer trends, consumer health concerns, including obesity and the consumption of certain ingredients, and changes in product category consumption and consumer demographics.
-4-
Governmental laws and regulations
Changes in laws and regulations and the manner in which they are interpreted or applied may alter the environment in which we operate and, therefore, affect our results of operations or increase liabilities. These include changes in food and drug laws and laws related to advertising and marketing practices. It is possible that we could become subject to additional liabilities in the future resulting from changes in laws and regulations that could result in an adverse effect on the results of our operations and financial condition.
If we fail to deliver quality products or fulfill customers' needs, we may face additional expenses, losses or negative publicity.
If our products fail to fulfill customer needs our reputation may be damaged. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. The successful assertion of one or more significant claims against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. While we carry general and product liability insurance coverage, such coverage may be insufficient to cover such claims.
We rely on CPC for technological support and supplies.
CPC provides us with technological support for the System as well as supplies such as chocolate blanks, packaging and inks. While we are not required to purchase any such supplies from CPC, if it were to go out of business we would lose its technological support and would be forced to find another supplier which could result in a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Failure to avoid infringement of others' intellectual property rights could impair our ability to manufacture and market our products.
Although CPC has certain patented technologies which are incorporated in the System, CPC cannot, and, therefore, we cannot, guarantee that the System will be free of claims by third parties alleging that CPC infringed their intellectual property rights. Any such claim could be expensive and time-consuming to defend, and an adverse litigation result or a settlement of litigation could require CPC to stop selling Systems and require us to pay damages, obtain a license from the complaining party or a third party, develop non-infringing alternatives or cease using the System. Any such result could be expensive or could adversely affect our ability to operate profitability, if at all.
We are dependent upon our management and we need to engage additional skilled personnel.
Our success depends in large part on the skills and efforts of our only officer, our president and chief executive officer, Alyssa Cohen. The loss of the services of Ms. Cohen could have a material adverse effect on the development and success of our business.
-5-
Ms. Cohen has an employment agreement with us that requires her to devote such of her working time to our business as we and Ms. Cohen determine is necessary for the performance of her duties under her employment agreement. We have not obtained key man insurance on the life of Ms. Cohen. Our future success will depend in part upon our ability to attract and retain additional qualified management and technical personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense and we will compete for qualified personnel with numerous other employers, almost all of which have significantly greater financial and other resources than we. We may experience increased costs in order to retain and attract skilled employees. Our failure to attract additional personnel or to retain the services of key personnel and independent contractors could have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate profitably.
If we make any acquisitions, they may disrupt or have a negative impact on our business.
If we make acquisitions, we could have difficulty integrating the acquired companies' personnel and operations with our own. In addition, the key personnel of the acquired business may not be willing to work for us. We cannot predict the effect expansion may have on our core business. Regardless of whether we are successful in making an acquisition, the negotiations could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses. In addition to the risks described above, acquisitions are accompanied by a number of inherent risks, including, without limitation, the following:
· | the difficulty of integrating acquired products, services or operations; |
· | the potential disruption of the ongoing businesses and distraction of our management and the management of acquired companies; |
· | difficulties in complying with regulations in other countries that relate to our businesses; |
· | difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies; |
· | the potential impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any integration of new management personnel; |
· | the potential inability or failure to achieve additional sales and enhance our customer base through cross-marketing of the products to new and existing customers; |
· | the effect of any government regulations which relate to the business acquired; |
· | potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses or product lines, or the need to spend significant amounts to retool, reposition or modify the marketing and sales of acquired products or the defense of any litigation, whether or not successful, resulting from actions of the acquired company prior to our acquisition; |
-6-
· | difficulties in disposing of the excess or idle facilities of an acquired company or business and expenses in maintaining such facilities; and |
· | potential expenses under the labor, food and drug and other laws of other countries. |
Our business could be severely impaired if and to the extent that we are unable to succeed in addressing any of these risks or other problems encountered in connection with an acquisition, many of which cannot be presently identified.
These risks and problems could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations. Further, the commencement of business in other countries may be subject to significant risks in areas which we are not able to prepare for in advance.
No Dividends.
We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any earnings to finance the growth of our business and we may never pay cash dividends.
Risks Concerning our Securities.
Because our stock is not currently traded, we cannot predict when or whether an active market for our common stock will develop.
Our common stock is not traded on any trading market. We may in the future seek to list our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. No assurance can be given that such listing will be successful or if our common stock were to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board or the Pink Sheets, we cannot assure you that any significant market for our stock would develop. In the absence of an active trading market, you may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations for our stock; the market visibility for our stock may be limited, and the lack of visibility for our common stock may have a depressive effect on the market price for our common stock.
Our stock price may be affected by our failure to meet projections and estimates of earnings developed either by us or by independent securities analysts.
Our operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors as well as our own projections. In this event, the market price of our common stock would likely be materially adversely affected.
The registration and sales of common stock being sold pursuant to this prospectus may have a depressive effect upon the market for our common stock.
The shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus constitute a not insignificant portion of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If the selling stockholders sell a significant number of shares of common stock, the market price of our common stock may decline.
-7-
Accordingly, the mere filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus is part could have a significant depressive effect on our stock price which could make it difficult both for us to raise funds from other sources and for the public stockholders to sell their shares.
Because we may be subject to the "penny stock" rules, you may have difficulty in selling our common stock.
If a public market develops for our common stock and if our stock price is less than $5.00 per share, our stock may be subject to the SEC's penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements and restrictions on broker-dealers that sell our stock to persons other than established customers and institutional accredited investors. The application of these rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to sell any common stock you may own.
According to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
· | Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; |
· | Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; |
· | "Boiler room" practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; |
· | Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and |
· | The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses. |
As an issuer of “penny stock” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us.
Although the federal securities law provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, if we are a penny stock we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any action based upon a claim that the material provided by us, including this prospectus, contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading.
-8-
The exercise of outstanding warrants may have a dilutive effect on the price of our common stock.
To the extent that outstanding warrants are exercised, dilution to our stockholders may occur. Moreover, the terms upon which we will be able to obtain additional equity capital may be adversely affected, since the holders of the outstanding warrants can be expected to exercise them at a time when we would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to us than the exercise terms provided by the outstanding options and warrants.
Because we are not subject to compliance with rules requiring the adoption of certain corporate governance measures, our stockholders have limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rule changes proposed and enacted by the Commission, the New York and American Stock Exchanges and the NASDAQ Stock Market as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley, require the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance. These measures are designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities which are listed on those exchanges or the NASDAQ Stock Market. Because we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate governance provisions and because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial additional costs associated with such compliance any sooner than necessary, we have not yet adopted all of these measures. As of the date of this prospectus, we are not in compliance with requirements relating to the distribution of annual and interim reports, the holding of stockholders meetings and solicitation of proxies for such meeting and requirements for stockholder approval for certain corporate actions. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.
Reporting requirements may delay or preclude acquisition.
Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") requires companies subject thereto to provide certain information about significant acquisitions including audited financial statements for the company acquired covering one or two years, depending on the relative size of the acquisition. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target companies to prepare such financial statements may significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an otherwise desirable acquisition by us. Acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may not be appropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable.
Our officers and directors have limited liability and have indemnity rights which may discourage stockholders from bringing an action against them.
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that we will indemnify our officers and directors against losses sustained or liabilities incurred which arise from any transaction
-9-
in that officer's or director's respective managerial capacity unless that officer or director violates a duty of loyalty, did not act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated the law, approved an improper dividend, or derived an improper benefit from the transaction. Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides for the indemnification by us of our officers and directors against any losses or liabilities incurred as a result of the manner in which the officers and directors operate our business or conduct our internal affairs, provided that in connection with these activities they act in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believe to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests of and their conduct does not constitute gross negligence, misconduct or breach of fiduciary obligations. The existence of these provisions may discourage holders of our Common Stock from bringing an action against management because we may be responsible for paying all costs associated therewith, which could negatively impact the value of our Common Stock.
Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. In addition, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our operating results could be harmed. W e are required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting for the year ending December 31, 2008 and a report by our independent registered public accounting firm addressing these assessments for the year ending December 31, 2009. During the course of our testing, we may identify deficiencies which we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the deadline imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.
Transfers of our securities may be restricted by virtue of state securities "blue sky" laws which prohibit trading absent compliance with individual state laws. These restrictions may make it difficult or impossible to sell shares in those states.
Transfers of our common stock may be restricted under the securities or securities regulations laws promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as "blue sky" laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Because the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under the blue sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them should be aware that there may be significant state blue sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. These restrictions may prohibit the secondary trading of our common stock. Investors should consider the secondary market for our securities to be a limited one.
-10-
Statements in this prospectus may be "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from time to time in this prospectus, including the risks described under "Risk Factors," and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this prospectus and in other documents which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to demand for our services, our ability to diversify our client base and enter new markets for our services, market and customer acceptance, our ability to raise any financing which we may require for our operations, competition, government regulations and requirements, pricing and development difficulties, our ability to make acquisitions and successfully integrate those acquisitions with our business, as well as general industry and market conditions and growth rates, and general economic conditions. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of their common stock.

The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions or by gift. These sales may be made at fixed or negotiated prices. Because there is no trading market in our common stock as of the date of this prospectus, the selling stockholders intend to sell any shares in the public market at a fixed price of $1.50 per share until a public market develops for the common stock. Once a public market develops for the common stock, the selling stockholders may sell their shares of common stock in the public market based on the market price at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. Subject to the foregoing, the selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling or otherwise transferring shares:
· | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
· | block trades in which a broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
· | sales to a broker-dealer as principal and the resale by the broker-dealer of the shares for its account; |
· | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
· | privately negotiated transactions, including gifts; |
· | covering short sales made after the date of this prospectus; |
· | pursuant to an arrangement or agreement with a broker-dealer to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
· | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
· | any other method of sale permitted pursuant to applicable law. The selling stockholders may also sell shares pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act, if available, rather than pursuant to this prospectus. |
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
-17-
A selling stockholder may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares or common stock owned by him and, if the selling stockholder defaults in the performance of the secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which may in turn engage in short sales of our common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may, after the date of this prospectus, also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge their common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In the event of a transfer by a selling stockholder of the common stock other than a transfer pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 of the SEC, we may be required to amend or supplement this prospectus in order to name the transferee as a selling stockholder.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The selling stockholders have informed us that they do not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock.
Because the selling stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Federal securities laws, including Regulation M, may restrict the timing of purchases and sales of our common stock by the selling stockholders and any other persons who are involved in the distribution of the shares of common stock pursuant to this prospectus. To our knowledge, none of the selling stockholders have an agreement or understanding with any broker-dealer with respect to the sale of their shares.
-18-
None of our selling shareholders are broker-dealers. Other than Steven Sherman, Jane Sherman, Jay Greenbaum, Pamela Greenbaum, Alyssa Cohen, Robert Millstone, Shayna Millstone and Shayna Millstone as custodian for Alexander Millstone, Aliza Millstone, Eliana Millstone and Michael Millstone, none of our selling stockholders are affiliates of broker-dealers. Selling stockholders who are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers will be deemed underwriters in connection with their sales. The selling stockholders who are affiliates and employees of broker-dealers purchased their shares in the ordinary course and, at the time of purchasing the securities they had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares.
There is no market for our common stock.
As of April 17, 2008, we had 117 stockholders of record. At that date, we had 163,000 shares of common stock outstanding, of which 62,000 shares were held by the selling stockholders for sale pursuant to this prospectus. The remaining shares are "restricted" and may only be sold pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption from registration such as Rule 144. Warrants to purchase 969,000 shares of common stock were outstanding as of April 17, 2008. The holders of all of such warrants have registration rights with respect to the underlying shares of common stock.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. The following discussion includes forward-looking statements. For a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ from results discussed in the forward-looking statements, see "Forward Looking Statements."
Overview
Chocolate Candy Creations, Inc.
We were formed as a Delaware corporation on November 1, 2006 to manufacture and sell specialized chocolate, other candy, cookie and cake products. As of December 31, 2007, we had generated $ 6,623 of revenue from operations, and had a cumulative loss since inception of $(17,087). Alyssa Cohen, our president, and chief executive officer, is our only employee. We conduct business under the name "Smiles On Chocolate".
-19-
We manufacture and sell specialty promotional chocolate, other candy, cookie and cake products on which color images are printed using a portable computer system (the "System") we purchased from its manufacturer, CPC for $44,536. The System incorporates certain patented technologies and proprietary software owned by CPC and was purchased from CPC for cash of $39,536 and 5,000 shares of our common stock valued at $1.00 per share representing the difference between the cash paid and the purchase price of the System. We sell our products for consumption at events such as parties, weddings, business conferences, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs and charity events. These customized products include specialized chocolate products such as lollipops, portraits, CD's, trading cards and business cards. Through December 31, 2007, we had fulfilled 145 orders for our products, which generated $6,623 of revenues.
We believe that our business can grow in two ways. The first would be to expand internally by hiring more employees, purchasing or leasing additional Systems, offering additional product lines and selling additional products. The second would be through acquisitions or mergers with other entities in our or other businesses.
Our address is 130 Shore Road, Suite 238, Port Washington, New York 11050, telephone (516) 238-5535, fax (516) 706-4345.
We do not believe that our business is seasonal although we may experience greater sales around the time of major holidays such as Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
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 generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States. We believe the following are the critical accounting policies that impact the financial statements, some of which are based on management's best estimate as available at the time of preparation. Actual experience may differ from these estimates.
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 these estimates. Significant estimates made by us include the valuation of the deferred tax asset allowance and the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The amounts at which current assets and current liabilities are presented by us approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue from the sales of our products when an order is completed and the product is shipped.
-20-
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at their estimated realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated by us through evaluation of significant past due accounts. Accounts are deemed past due when payment has not been received within the stated time period. Our policy is to review individual past due amounts periodically and write off amounts for which all collection efforts are deemed to have been exhausted. As of December 31, 2007, no allowance was deemed necessary.
Income Taxes
We follow the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 109, "Account for Income Taxes," which requires the use of the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The liability method measures deferred income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts on the financial statements. The resulting deferred assets or liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in tax laws as they occur. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards B oard (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" (FIN 48). There was no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows at December 31, 2007 and for the year then ended as a result of implementing FIN 48. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007 and at December 31, 2007, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company's practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties. The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations in progress nor has it had any federal or state tax examinations since its inception. All of its tax years are subject to federal and state tax examination.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth our statements of operations for the period from November 1, 2006 (inception) to Decem ber 31, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2007:
-21-
Year Ended | Period from November 1, 2006 (Inception) to | |
Revenue | $6,623 | $-0- |
Cost of revenue | 1,658 | -0- |
Gross Profit | 4,965 | -0- |
Other income | 680 | 87 |
Selling, general and administrative costs | 16,064 | 74 |
Depreciation | 6,681 | -0- |
Income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit) | (17,100) | 13 |
Income tax expense (benefit) | -0- | -0- |
Net Income (loss) | ($17,100) | $13 |
Period from November 1, 2006 (inception) to December 31, 2006 and the Year Ended December 31, 2007.
Revenues. Revenues for 2007 were $6,623, as to compared to $0 in the 2006 period. The increase in revenue is attributable to the commencement of the sale of our products in 2007.
Cost of Revenues; Gross Margin. Cost of revenues was $1,658 in 2007 compared to $0 in the 2006 period due to the commencement of business activities in 2007.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $ 16,064 in 2007, compared to $74 in the 2006 period, due to an increase in legal and accounting fees and expenses and the commencement of business activities in 2007.
No income tax benefit has been reflected in either period as management has determined that it is more likely than not that the net operating loss will be utilized in the future and, accordingly, the deferred tax asset of $3,471 as of December 31, 2007 has been fully reserved.
Net Loss. As a result of foregoing, our net loss increased to ($17,100) or ($0.17) per share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared with a net income of $13 or $0.00 per share (basic and diluted), for the period from November 1, 2006 (inception) to December 31, 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including planned capital expenditures. At December 31, 2007, we had working capital of approximately $78,058 compared to working capital of $26,477 at December 31, 2006, principally as a result of the closing of our private placement in December 2007.
-22-
We raised gross proceeds of $62,000 from the sale of shares of common stock in December, 2007. A portion was used to pay legal fees and the balance has been and will be used for working capital purposes.
Management believes that based on current levels of operations and anticipated growth we have enough cash to meet our anticipated cash requirements for approximately the next 12-24 months.
While uncertainties relating to competition exist in our business, management is not aware of any trends or events likely to have a material adverse effect on liquidity or its financial statements. To the extent that these factors result in a decline in our revenue, our liquidity may be affected.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

We manufacture and sell specialty promotional chocolate, other candy, cookie and cake products on which color images are printed using a portable computer system (the "System") we purchased from its manufacturer, Chocolate Printing Company, Inc. ("CPC"). The System incorporates certain patented technologies and proprietary software owned by CPC and was purchased from CPC for cash and shares of our common stock valued at $1.00 per share. We sell our products for consumption at events such as parties, weddings, business conferences, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, and charity events. These customized products include specialized chocolate products such as lollipops, portraits, CD's, trading cards and business cards. The system is portable which allows us to sell our products at “live” events such as parties and weddings.
Current Orders
As of December 31, 2007, we had fulfilled 145 orders for our products which had generated $6,623 of revenue from operations since inception.
Growth Strategy
We believe that our business can grow in two ways. The first would be to expand internally by hiring more employees selling additional products and introducing additional product lines. The second would be through acquisitions or mergers with other entities in its or other businesses.
Marketing
We intend to develop a marketing team which we believe will be crucial to our future growth and success. We intend to participate in trade shows. In addition, we may make presentations at seminars and advertise our services in the print or other media to improve our visibility. We maintain a website at www.SmilesOnChocolate.com which provides information about our products and allows customers to order products online.
Competition
We engage in a highly competitive and fragmented industry including manufacturers and distributors of specialized confectionary chocolate and baked goods products.
-24-
Almost all of our competitors are, on an overall basis, larger than us or are subsidiaries of larger companies, and therefore may possess greater resources than us. There is relative ease of market entry for a new entrant possessing acceptable professional qualifications. Accordingly, we compete with regional, national, and international firms, including other purchase rs of Systems.
Competition for our service is based primarily on reputation, track record, experience, quality of service and price.
Properties
We have no properties and at this time have no agreements to acquire or lease any properties. We currently use the offices and manufacturing space provided to us by management at no cost. The amount of such space used by us is insignificant. Management has agreed to continue this arrangement until we require larger space. Management believes that office space will be available at reasonable rents when such space is needed.
Intellectual Property Rights
We have no proprietary software or products, although we have nonexclusive rights to use the Technologies incorporated in the System.
Personnel
We currently employ one individual, Alyssa Cohen, our President. We also from time to time use independent sales contractors to assist our President.
Legal Proceedings
We are not presently party to any material legal proceeding nor are we aware of any material pending or potential legal proceeding which may be initiated against us.
Selection of Business Opportunities
We anticipate that in the event that we elect to seek a business opportunity, such as a merger or acquisition, the selection of a business opportunity in which to participate will be complex and extremely risky. Management believes (but has not conducted any research to confirm) that being a public corporation will help us find an acquisition candidate for the following reasons; facilitate and improve the terms on which additional equity financing may be sought, provide incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, increase the opportunity to use securities for acquisitions, provide liquidity for shareholders, and other factors. Management anticipates that business opportunities may be available in many different industries, both within and without the specialized candy industry and at various stages of development, all of which make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities difficult and complex.
-25-
We will have limited capital with which to provide the owners of business entities with any cash or other assets which may be attractive. Management has not conducted market research and is not aware of statistical data to support the perceived benefits of a business combination for the owners of a target company.
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or under the supervision of, our officers and directors, who are not professional business analysts. In analyzing prospective business opportunities, management may consider such matters as the available technical, financial and managerial resources; working capital and other financial requirements; history of operations, if any; prospects for the future; nature of present and expected competition; the quality and experience of management services which may be available and the depth of that management; specific risk factors not now foreseeable but which then may be anticipated to impact the proposed activities of the company after the business combination; the potential for growth or expansion; the potential for profit; the perceived public recognition or acceptance of products, services, or trades; name identification; and other relevant factors.
We may acquire a venture which is in its preliminary or development stage, which is already in operation, or in any stage of its business life. It is impossible to predict at this time the status of any business in which we may become engaged, in that such business may need to seek additional capital, may desire to have its shares publicly traded, or may seek other perceived advantages which we may offer.
With respect to negotiations with a target company, management expects to focus on the percentage of the company which target company shareholders would acquire in exchange for their shareholdings in the target company. Any merger or acquisition effected by us can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by our shareholders at such time.

Directors and Executive Officers
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to our directors and executive officers.
Name Age Position
Alyssa Cohen 42 President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Director
Ms. Cohen, 4 2, has over 20 years of marketing, sales and advertising experience. Since 1996 and until the founding of the Company, Ms. Cohen worked part-time designing and selling her own line of customized gourmet candy and chocolate gift baskets. From 1991 to 1996 she worked as a Print Production Manager at GHBM Advertising, a pharmaceutical advertising company. From 1989 to 1991 Ms. Cohen worked at Chapman Direct, a direct marketing advertising firm, where she was an Assistant Print Production Manager. She worked as an Event Planner at Direct Marketing Association from 1987 to 1989. Ms. Cohen has a B.A. degree in Sociology and Business from the State University of New York at Albany.
Executive Compensation
Pursuant to an employment agreement dated as of November 6, 2006 between Ms. Cohen and us (the "Employment Agreement"), Ms. Cohen is paid (i) fifty (50%) percent of our "gross margin", as defined in the Employment Agreement, less (ii) any commissions or finder's fees paid by us or any compensation paid by us to any of our sales employees or independent contractors. During the year ended December 31, 2007 Ms. Cohen earned $2,200 under her Employment Agreement. In addition, in the event Ms. Cohen first identifies an acquisition or merger candidate for us, we will pay her a bonus upon the closing of the acquisition or merger.
Compensation Plans
We do not have any stock option or compensation plan and have never issued any stock-based compensation. No stock options or restricted stock grants have been issued through the date of this Registration Statement.
Compensation of Directors
Directors do not receive any direct or indirect compensation for serving in such capacity. We will reimburse directors for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with attending or participating in meetings of the Board.
-27-
Committees of the Board
The Board does not have an audit, nominating or compensation committee. The selection of nominees for the Board of Directors is made by the entire Board of Directors. Compensation of management is determined by the entire Board of Directors. Our sole Director is not independent.
We expect that at such time as the business grows we will formulate appropriate committees of the board.
The following table provides information as to shares of common stock bene ficially owned as of April 17, 2008 by:
· | each director; |
· | each officer named in the summary compensation table; |
· | each person owning of record or known by us, based on information provided to us by the persons named below, to own beneficially at least 5% of our common stock; and |
· | all directors and executive officers as a group. |
Name | Shares of Common Stock | Percentage (1) |
Alyssa Cohen | 50,000 | 30.7% |
All officers and directors as a group | 50,000 | 30.7% |
(1) | Based upon 163,000 shares outstanding as of April 17, 2008. |
-28-
Except as otherwise indicated each person has the sole power to vote and dispose of all shares of common stock listed opposite his name. Each person is deemed to own beneficially shares of common stock which are issuable upon exercise or conversion of currently convertible securities. Currently convertible securities are warrants or options or convertible securities which are exercisable or convertible within 60 days of April 17, 2008. The beneficial ownership of each person named is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under these rules, a person is deemed to beneficially own the total number of shares of common stock which he or she owns plus the number of shares of common stock which are issuable upon exercise of currently exercisable securities. The percentage ownership of each person is the percentage that the number of shares beneficially owned by that person bears to the sum of (a) the outstanding common stock plus (b) the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of those currently convertible securities that are owned by that stockholder.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
We use office and manufacturing space provided to us by our President, Alyssa Cohen, at no cost to us. The amount of such space used by us is insignificant.
Our authorized capitalization consists of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share, and 4,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share. As of April 17, 2008, 163,000 shares of common stock were outstanding. Our outstanding common stock is held by 117 stockholders of record.
Common Stock
Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and are entitled to share in such dividends as the board of directors, in its discretion, may declare from funds legally available. In the event of liquidation, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate ratably in the assets remaining after payment of liabilities.
Our directors are elected by a plurality vote. Because holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, holders or a single holder of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock present and voting at an annual stockholders meeting at which a quorum is present can elect all of our directors. Our stockholders have no preemptive or other rights to subscribe for or purchase additional shares of any class of stock or of any other securities. All outstanding shares of common stock are, and those issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock and exercise of the warrants will be, upon such conversion or exercise, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
The Company is in the process of hiring a transfer agent for our common stock.
-29-
Preferred Stock
The board of directors is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock which may be issued in series from time to time with such designations, rights, preferences and limitations as the Board of Directors may declare by resolution. To date no shares of preferred stock have been issued.
The rights, preferences and limitations of separate series of preferred stock may differ with respect to such matters as may be determined by the board of directors, including, without limitation, the rate of dividends, method and nature of payment of dividends, terms of redemption, amounts payable on liquidation, sinking fund provisions (if any), conversion rights (if any) and voting rights. The potential exists, therefore, that additional shares of preferred stock might be issued which would grant dividend preferences and liquidation preferences to preferred stockholders over common stockholders. Unless the nature of a particular transaction and applicable statute require such approval, the board of directors has the authority to issue shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control without any further action by stockholders.
Warrants
As of April 17, 2008 warrants to purchase 969,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share were outstanding. The holders thereof have cashless exercise rights. These warrants are exercisable until November 6, 2016, provided that the warrants are not exercisable prior to November 6, 2009 unless there is a "Change in Control" (as defined in the warrants), in which event the warrants will be exercisable at any time after seventy (70) days following such Change in Control and until November 6, 2016.
Delaware Law Provisions
Our certificate of incorporation contains certain provisions permitted under Delaware General Corporation Law relating to the liability of directors. The provisions eliminate a director's liability for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty, except in certain circumstances where such liability may not be eliminated under applicable law. Further, our certificate of incorporation contains provisions to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law.
Penny-Stock Rules
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions, and is not listed on a registered stock exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market (although the $5.00 per share requirement may apply to NASDAQ listed securities) or has net tangible assets in excess of $2,000,000, if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years, or $5,000,000, if the issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years; or has average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years.
-30-
As a result, our common stock is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also disclose the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the "penny stock" rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect your ability to sell our securities in the secondary market and the price at which you can sell our common stock.
According to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
· | Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; |
· | Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; |
· | "Boiler room" practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; |
· | Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and |
· | The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses. |
Purchasers of penny stocks may have certain legal remedies available to them in the event the obligations of the broker-dealer from whom the penny stock was purchased violates or fails to comply with the above obligations or in the event that other state or federal securities laws are violated in connection with the purchase and sale of such securities. Such rights include the right to rescind the purchase of such securities and recover the purchase price paid for them.
Because our stock is a "penny stock" we do not have the safe harbor protection under federal securities laws with respect to forward-looking statement.

CHOCOLATE CANDY CREATIONS, INC. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Chocolate Candy Creations, Inc.
Port Washington, New York
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Chocolate Candy Creations, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the period from November 1, 2006 (Inception) through December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Chocolate Candy Creations, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2007 and for the period from November 1, 2006 (Inception) through December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CHOCOLATE CANDY CREATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007
NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Chocolate Candy Creations, Inc. (the "Company") was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 1, 2006 to manufacture and sell specialized chocolates, other candy, cookie and cake products. The Company conducts business under the name "Smiles on Chocolate." The Company was inactive in the 2006 period. In 2007, the Company began selling its products. The Company's customers are currently located in New York.
Use of Estimates
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 these estimates. Significant estimates made by management include the valuation of the deferred tax asset allowance and the depreciable life and residual value of its chocolate printing machine system.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The amounts at which current assets and current liabilities are presented approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are comprised of certain highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased. We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses to date as a result of this policy.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes sales revenue from product orders when the order is completed and the product is shipped to the customer. Cash received from clients in advance of the completion of an order is recorded as a deposit.
Accounts Receivable
We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts determined primarily through specific identification and evaluation of significant past due accounts, supplemented by an estimate applied to the remaining balance of past due accounts. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, no allowance was deemed necessary.
Inventory
Inventory primarily is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventory consists of blank chocolate lollipops, other candy items, and packaging materials.
Property and Equipment
We record our equipment at historical cost. We expense maintenance and repairs as incurred. Depreciation is provided for by the straight-line method over five years, the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the use of the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The liability method measures deferred income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts on the financial statements. The resulting deferred tax assets or liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in tax laws as they occur. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). There was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows at December 31, 2007 and for the year then ended as a result of implementing FIN 48. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007 and at December 31, 2007, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties. The Company currently has no federal or state tax examination in progress nor has it had any federal or state tax examinations since its inception. All of its tax years are subject to federal and state tax examination.
Loss Per Common Share
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which modified the calculation of earnings per share ("EPS"). This statement replaced the previous presentation of primary and fully diluted EPS to basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS includes the dilution of common stock equivalents, and is computed similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 15.
Basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Stock warrants have not been included in the calculation of diluted loss per share, as the effect would have been antidilutive in 2007 and immaterial in 2006. Accordingly, basic and dilutive loss per share are the same for the Company.
For the Year Ended December 31, 2007 | Period F rom November 1, 2006 ( I nception) to December 31, 2006 | |
Loss Per Share | ||
Basic and diluted | $(0.17) | $0.00 |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Prior to this Statement, there were different definitions of fair value and limited guidance for applying those definitions in GAAP. Moreover, that guidance was dispersed among many accounting pronouncements that require fair value measurements. Differences in that guidance created inconsistencies that added to the complexity in applying GAAP. The changes to current practice resulting from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Statement 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have an effect on its financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Standards No. 159 (“FAS 159”), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value which are not currently required to be measured at fair value. FAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 159 to have an effect on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, which replaces SFAS No. 141. The statement retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized in the purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS No. 141R is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141R to have an effect on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, and amendment of ARB 51, which changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests. Minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and will be reported as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control will be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement and, upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 160 to have an effect on its financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 gives financial statement users better information about the reporting entity’s hedges by providing for qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantative data about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details for credit-risk-related contingent features in their hedged positions. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged, but not required. We do not anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE B - PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
On December 20, 2006 the Company purchased its chocolate printing machine system for a total of $44,536, of which $39,536 was paid in cash and the remaining $5,000 was paid by the issuance of 5,000 shares of the Company's common stock. On April 1, 2007 the Company placed its chocolate printing machine system in service and began to depreciate it over a 60 month period on a straight line basis with no assumed residual value.
NOTE C - INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined using enacted tax rates for the effects of net operating losses and temporary differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Certain judgments are made relating to recoverability of deferred tax assets, uses of tax loss carry forwards, level of expected taxable income and available tax planning strategies. At December 31, 2007, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $17,087 available to reduce future taxable income expiring through 2027. Management has determined that it is more likely than not that the net operating loss carryforwards will not be realized in the future and, accordingly, the deferred tax asset of $3,471 has been fully reserved as of December 31, 2007. A reconciliation of the statutory income tax effective rate to the actual provision shown in the financial statements is as follows:
For the Year ended December 31, 2007 | ||
(Loss) before income taxes | ($17,100) | |
Computed tax benefit at statutory rate: | ||
Federal | ( $ 5,814) | (34%) |
State, Net of Federal Tax Effect | (906) | (5.3%) |
Surtax Exemption | 3,249 | 19% |
Net Operating Loss Valuation allowance | 3,471 | 20.3 % |
Total tax benefit | $ -- | --% |
A reconciliation for 2006 is not shown as it is immaterial.

NOTE G - COMMITMENTS
On November 6, 2006, the Company entered into a one year employment agreement (the "Employment Agreement") with its president, which shall be extended from year to year after the initial term.
