Business

Gunther Grant was formed November 3, 2004 and incorporated in Delaware as a “C” corp. As part of a stock swap on January 1, 2005, Gunther Grant acquired 100% of the operating company, Got Chocolates, which was formed February 2, 2000. Got Chocolates is a retail, wholesale and Internet retail business whose products were initially introduced on the Internet. Within one year, a location was secured for production and retail. The Company quickly outgrew that location and began implementing an expansion strategy in 2002. By 2004, the Company successfully relocated to its current facility at 133 East Main Street, East Islip, New York 11730, which houses our factory, retail store, and business offices. Our telephone number is (631)224-8450.

The company markets its products through a network of commissioned sales representatives, on our websites (coco911.com, logococo.com, supercrave.com), and at our retail location. Customers buy from us because of competitive pricing and our ability to produce products which the larger, established manufacturers opt not to produce. The Company relies upon the internet, e-mail, E-commerce, our 800 number, and walk-in business as its primary means of transacting orders and payments. Our revenue comes from the fulfillment of incoming orders for fudge, custom chocolates and various other confectionary products. We develop customers mainly by listing our business with trade organizations that put buyers and manufacturers together. One such trade organization is ASI (Ad Specialties Inc.), from which a large portion of our business comes. We actively participate in trade shows that allow us to show our products to prospective buyers nationwide. In addition we market via various internet search engines and online advertising mediums.

The Company manufactures all of its own products. This makes it possible to maintain high standards of quality while offering products which are unique in comparison to those currently available in the marketplace. It also provides us better management of costs and control over scheduling, production and distribution. We obtain our raw materials from local vendors.

Table of Contents

Got Chocolates manufactures many kinds of products including custom shaped chocolates, such as awards and premiums, for wholesale to national corporations. We also produce a complete line of fresh fudge for retail, wholesale and internet sales. Other products include custom ordered chocolates and chocolate coated nuts and popcorn which are used by gift basket fulfillment companies. We have produced our fudge and chocolates for sale at Fairway Supermarkets and B.J.’s Wholesale Club. We provide fudge products to several prominent non-profit organizations for use in their fundraising programs, such as the Kiwanis Club, Boy Scouts of America, Skills USA, and AHRC. We have also produced fudge for both Super Bowl XL and XLI, with NFL sanctioned labeling.

Most recently, we created chocolate character pieces for two major motion picture releases by Fox Movie Studios. We recently designed and produced logo pieces for major video game programming company F9E. We are currently producing custom chocolate for retailer JC Penney which will be used as part of their ongoing customer service campaign for their sales associates.

We believe our business is not adversely affected by the seasonal trends affecting similar businesses. Due to advancements in shipping containers, we are able to produce and ship chocolates year round to any climate with the use of insulated cold-pack containers. We also produce fudge year round. We use a unique recipe to make fudge that does not melt and can be shipped without the need for refrigeration to any climate without compromising the quality of the product.

Our business benefits from the current public perception of the possible health benefits of moderate amounts of chocolate consumption. We have been meeting consumer demand for “healthy” chocolate by increasing production of dark chocolate products. We believe consumers are willing to spend more on chocolate products that are of higher quality and contain better ingredients.

The Company is subject to competition from other ASI network companies who produce chocolate products such as The Chocolate Inn and Lanco. Some of these companies have greater financial and marketing resources, larger factories, and more sophisticated means of distribution. We believe that we compete favorably in this field due to our ability to custom design products which suit consumer needs to their exact

specifications, rather than providing simply a stock “one size fits all” product. We also possess the roller coating technology which, to our knowledge, is not used by any of our competitors and which we believe to be proprietary. Also, our products are made with only natural ingredients and contain no chemical additives which we believe are often found in products made by our competitors.

Our ongoing research and development will intensify its focus on enhancing and further improving production methods. We will experiment with grouping similar jobs and using per diem help when available to keep costs low. We continue to formulate and test new recipes and products to meet the specific needs of our customers. We are in the process of developing a new product which we plan to introduce for the Easter season. We will also explore new mediums and plate materials for use in our mold making technology.

As part of our new marketing program, we intend to make certain that our newest and most comprehensive website, www.supercrave.com, is fully tested and functional. We believe that supercrave.com will be a major source of revenue for the Company and as such, we intend to devote our fullest attention and resources to its development.

All business functions are based in our manufacturing facility. As of February 1, 2008 we had three full-time employees. To continue expanding our revenues we will require additional staffing and support in the future, particularly in the areas of administrative, sales and production management.

Additional information and copies of all materials filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission may be obtained at the SEC’s Public Reference Room, 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20549.

Item 1A

Summary

Got Chocolates, Inc. creates custom and stock chocolate and confectionary products. Our business office and manufacturing facility is located at 133 East Main Street, East Islip, New York 11730, Tel. (631) 224-8450. The goal of the company is to expand our business, bringing our unique, high quality confectionary products to the national wholesale and retail markets using an aggressive marketing program.

We believe our primary competitive strength lies in our exclusive mold making and roller coating technology. The Company relies mainly on trade secrets to protect our technology, which we believe is proprietary. These techniques were developed over twenty years ago by Grant Newsteder, founder of the company. His many years of experience and expertise in the chocolate industry and in product design and development have yielded a well refined process for adding color to the surface of custom chocolate pieces, which greatly enhances their visual appeal. Feedback from our end users has indicated that the use of color provided greater product and brand recognition which in turn produced more effective and successful marketing.

We recognize that in order to satisfy the needs of the chocolate consumer, The Company must expand its marketing in the fundraising, wholesale, retail, custom corporate and internet areas. Marketing tests in each area have been small scale, yet very successful from a profit standpoint. The Company plans to implement a national marketing strategy which builds on those proven successes. We feel we have significant competitive strengths which will allow us to reach our goals, which include:

 

   

Established client base

 

   

Proprietary techniques

 

   

Superior mold-making technology

 

   

Low overhead

 

   

Flexibility of product line

 

   

Competitive pricing

 

   

Experienced personnel

Risk Factors

The following sets forth certain risk factors we believe to be associated with our business. These statements provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events, which may cause our actual results to differ materially from expectations. In addition to the other information in this registration, the following risks should be considered carefully in evaluating our business and prospects:

 

   

The primary ingredients used in our products are subject to fluctuations in price or may become unavailable to us.

Due to the volatility of the commodities market, the cost of several of the main ingredients used in our products (specifically cocoa, sugar and nuts) may rise significantly. The supply and price of cocoa beans, and in turn of chocolate, are affected by factors including economic and political conditions in the countries where the beans are grown, as well as weather conditions. The same holds true for nuts. Although the Company purchases these products at negotiated wholesale rates from suppliers and may choose to raise the prices at which we sell our products, a significant or prolonged increase in the prices of our raw materials, or the lack of adequate supplies or acceptable levels of quality could have a negative effect on our operations.

 

   

The chocolate and confectionary business is highly competitive.

The Company competes with a great many companies who manufacture and sell chocolate and confectionary products. Many of those companies have greater name recognition and financial resources. In order to attract and expand our client base, it will be critical for us to establish and maintain our brand. Promotion and enhancement of the Company’s name will depend heavily on our ability to market and advertise successfully in a field of established and well known competitors. Our failure to do so could affect our ability to expand according to our plans.

 

7


Table of Contents
   

We expect our operating costs to increase as our business expands.

Operations of the Company may be adversely affected by an increase in labor and operating costs. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to pass these costs to the customer. We expect to incur increased costs as a result of becoming a reporting company. Compliance with new rules implemented by the Securities Exchange Commission will increase our legal costs and make some activities more time consuming and costly. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to generate an increase in revenue to cover the additional costs of operations.

 

   

Consumer preferences and attitudes toward chocolate and confections are constantly changing.

Sales may be affected by the changing tastes and habits of the consumer, specifically, consumer perception regarding the consumption of chocolate and confectionary products. The continued growth and success of the Company is dependent upon its ability to attract new customers and retain existing customers. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to cultivate and/or maintain such following. There can also be no assurance that our products will achieve a level of market presence that will be profitable for us. If we fail to promote and maintain our brand in the market, our business, operating results, financial condition and ability to attract customers may be materially adversely affected.

 

   

The Company is substantially dependent on the services of its founder, Grant Newsteder.

The success of the Company is substantially dependent upon the experience and leadership of its founder and creator of our proprietary techniques, Grant Newsteder. The loss of the services of Mr. Newsteder in the future may adversely affect the Company’s plans for growth. Although Mr. Newsteder has trained a highly qualified staff, there can be no assurances that the Company would be able to replace him should his services become unavailable.

We may be unsuccessful in managing the anticipated growth of the Company.

The future of the Company depends on many factors which have heretofore been stated. And although we are actively nurturing the growth of our business and making decisions we believe to be in the best interest of the Company, there is no assurance that we will be successful in handling the many business risks which will undoubtedly arise. Our failure to do so could have adverse affects on our operations and financial condition.

B. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following information addresses the factors that we believe affected our operations and financial condition, as reflected in our audited financial statements for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006, and our unaudited financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2007. The following should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this registration. This discussion contains forward-looking statements which reflect our current expectations which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those presented under the heading of “Risk Factors” contained in this registration.

We are a manufacturer of chocolate products primarily. Our chocolate is sold to wholesale and retail markets. Our expertise is in the design of molds which allow us to produce custom, high quality chocolate products to suit the varied needs of our customers.

The Company experienced an increase in losses from operations of $1288 for the year ending December 31, 2006 from the prior year ending December 31, 2005. The Company relocated to a more spacious facility in 2005. Extensive preparation of the kitchen and retail space was necessary before the Company was able to conduct business regularly. Plumbing and electrical work was performed as well as the installation of equipment and machinery in the kitchen to comply with Department of Agriculture requirements. Because our kitchen and production facilities were not fully operational during that time, we were unable to produce and market our products to the fullest extent for a substantial portion of 2005.

Sales increased by $12,732 during the year ended December 31, 2006 from the prior year ending December 31, 2005. By early 2006, our facility was near completion. The additional retail space and convenient customer parking gave us an increase in local sales which helped balance our inability to fill wholesale orders at full capacity.

Table of Contents

Once the facility was completely functional and full production resumed, our wholesale revenues began to increase. We devoted a considerable portion of 2006 to marketing and product development. However, because our marketing was mainly local, revenues fell short of our expectations. At that time it was decided the Company should expand its marketing efforts to reach more consumers. Since we do not predict an increase in operating expenses, we expect revenues to increase with the expanded marketing program.

The Company experienced losses during the period ending September 30, 2007. At that time, our expanded marketing plans had not yet been implemented. Our wholesale and retail websites were temporarily shut down to the public to be redesigned. Additional products were added to our sites and our ordering and payment capabilities were improved. Our administrative costs increased in part as a result of the extensive work done on our websites. In addition, we incurred legal and accounting fees in connection with the filing of Form 10, which were not incurred in previous years.

Our strategy to increase revenues, encourage growth of the Company, and increase shareholder value involves several key points:

 

   

Enhancement of our current marketing program to include advertising in national trade publications and internet mass marketing. The Company plans to focus heavily on an area of marketing which can yield very lucrative wholesale accounts, the craft show industry. The craft show industry has many trade publications which are read almost exclusively by people in that industry. By advertising in one or more of those publications, such as Sunshine Artist Magazine, we will reach our target market directly and on a national level. We will be exposed to career craftspeople looking for premium confectionary products they can sell at craft shows across the country year round. In addition, we will do a direct mail promotion to school and sports organizations that would have interest in our fundraising programs. We will also use e-mail to reach distributors in the Ad Specialty market. An e-mail advertisement detailing our custom line of chocolate products will be sent to the thousands of distributors in the Ad Specialty organization. We expect this to have a positive impact on our sales since we are currently reaching only a fraction of that market by way of their vendor directory.

 

11


Table of Contents
   

Restructuring of current prices to reflect increases in costs of raw materials. We are in the process of analyzing costs for all of our products. Our early findings indicate that a price increase of approximately 15% across the board would be sufficient to cover the increases we have experienced in the cost of cocoa, sugar, and other raw materials needed to produce our product line. We have already raised prices on some of our stock items and have not met with any negative reaction.

 

   

Re-evaluation of our vendor and supplier relationships in order to maximize our purchasing power; forming relationships with bulk sellers and distribution companies. The Company plans to closely examine the relationships we have with our current suppliers to see if doing business with them is still favorable to us. If it is not, we plan to approach them to renegotiate prices. If acceptable terms cannot be reached, the Company will terminate the relationship and look to replace the supplier with one who will meet our terms. Since suppliers are readily available, we do not anticipate any difficulty in finding one willing to work with us. Looking forward, the Company already has scheduled meetings with several of its customers to discuss a bulk sales arrangement of our products which would accommodate their needs long term.

 

   

Restructuring of our current production and shipping methods to allow for more efficient use of time and available resources. Increased focus on containing operating costs. The Company recently remodeled the floor plan of our facility to increase the space utilized for production and packing. We believe this change will make it possible for our employees to work more comfortably and efficiently while also increasing the space used to store finished product. Since there is now a dedicated kitchen area, it will be possible to increase our production and expand our product line.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During 2005 and 2006, operations of Gunther Grant, Inc. were funded through loans from the company president, Marcie Allen, our sales revenues, and through our private stock offering. The relocation of the Company in 2005 resulted in a 35% increase in operating costs from the previous year. Once the relocation was completed and our operating costs stabilized, we were positioned to process more orders with higher profit margins. We believe we have sufficient capital available to fund our ongoing operations from the proceeds of our

 

12


Table of Contents

private offering and revenues from sales, with the ability to offer terms using commercial credit lines. By using our available credit, we can access approximately $200,000 in working capital immediately.

We believe that as long as public perception and demand for chocolate remains favorable, the Company will generate revenues to sustain our operations indefinitely. As part of our strategy to increase revenues, we also plan to increase prices proportionately in relation to the increase in prices of raw materials and labor. We currently have no material commitments for capital requirements. At present, we have no need to purchase new equipment or replace the equipment we are currently using. We are not aware of any material trend, event, or capital commitment, which would potentially adversely affect liquidity. In the event a material trend develops, we believe we will have sufficient funds available to satisfy our working capital needs. If funding for our operations and future plans is inadequate or unavailable through commercial loans or other sources, our company president may provide additional loans to the Company. We cannot give any assurances, however, that Ms. Allen will make those funds available to us.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Properties

The Company is located in a leased freestanding building at 133 East Main Street, East Islip, New York 11730. The building encompasses our factory, retail store, business offices. There are additional buildings on the property which are available for our use if necessary.

We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet our current needs. We also believe that suitable additional space will be available to us as needed to accommodate any expansion of our operations in the future. We maintain insurance coverage against losses, including fire, casualty and theft in amounts we believe to be adequate.

Marcie Allen, 47, earned a B.S. degree in Marketing/Management from CW Post College. Her 25 years of experience in the direct marketing field with companies such as Doubleday Book & Music Clubs, Reader’s Digest Association, and Bertelsmann Direct North America has given her the marketing expertise to be an effective member of the Gunther Grant team.

From 2004 to the present, Ms. Allen has sourced and marketed general merchandise to ten specialty book clubs as a Senior Buyer for Bertelsmann Direct North America (formerly Bookspan/Yes Solutions). In 2007 she was promoted to Associate Director. In this position she is merchandising for book clubs as well as merchandising and marketing for BMG Music Service and Columbia House DVD Clubs. She is responsible for all direct mail catalogs and web promotions for those clubs. From 2001 to 2004 Ms. Allen worked closely with Grant Newsteder at Got Chocolates, Inc. to develop products for the ad specialty market and has been involved in all areas of the Company including production, package design, catalog, website, customer service, sales and marketing.

Prior to working at Got Chocolates, from 1996 to 2001 Ms. Allen served as Senior Product Development Manager at Reader’s Digest Association’s U.S. Video & Television division where she worked with outside vendors to acquire pre-recorded video and companion merchandise for their direct mail catalogs. In this capacity, she negotiated pricing with vendors, edited catalog copy, design, and layout and product photography.

Ms. Allen’s marketing experience began at Doubleday Book & Music Clubs from 1982 through 1986, where she gained valuable marketing experience as Marketing Assistant for their New Member Book Club division. She then moved to List Marketing as a Direct Mail Media Analyst. She left Doubleday in 1986 for a position as Marketing Administration Manager at Helix U.S.A., Ltd., the U.S. arm of a successful U.K. office products and school supply manufacturer. It was there that she refined her product development skills and became involved in all aspects of the production process from concept to finished product marketing. She returned to Doubleday in 1990 to become their Manager of Music & Video Marketing where she managed all areas of their U.S. and Canadian music and video catalogs. From Doubleday, Ms. Allen headed to the west coast in 1993 to work as a General Merchandise Buyer for Starcrest of California, one of the county’s leading direct mail marketers. She acquired general merchandise for 19 direct mail promotions per year, negotiated pricing and selling terms with vendors, and provided detailed promotional direction to the creative staff.

In 1995 she returned to New York to work as Video & Merchandise Buyer at Time Warner Viewer’s Edge, a direct mail catalog owned in part by Time Warner, Inc. When Time Warner Viewer’s Edge filed Chapter 7 in February of 1995, Ms. Allen began her five-year career at Reader’s Digest Association. After being transferred from their New York City office to Westchester, Ms. Allen decided to join Mr. Newsteder in developing their chocolate business.

Grant Newsteder, 46, has had a lifelong interest in the field of chocolates and confections. After studying art and sculpture at The Parsons School of Visual Arts, he went on to form his own graphic design and print company. Realizing that many of the techniques used in the printing industry could be applied to chocolates, he decided to enter the field.

In 1985 he began working for Chocolate Pix, Inc. of Utica, New York where he was a production manager and mold maker. Mr. Newsteder’s talents as a sculptor allowed him to create extremely detailed molds for use in making chocolate. He was soon asked by other chocolate companies to create specialty molds for their clients as well. As a result, he began consulting for those companies. He traveled first to Canada to meet with a group of investors who had an interest in starting a chocolate business. Mr. Newsteder provided information and advice and hands-on assistance in setting up a location, purchasing equipment, and training personnel. Once the company began operating successfully without the help of Mr. Newsteder, he returned to New York.

Shortly after, Mr. Newsteder went on his first of three trips to Japan to work with SGO, a company which had just set up a chocolate manufacturing facility and also needed start-up assistance. He formulated production schedules and trained SGO workers to operate machinery and make molds. He helped management make contact with buyers and offered suggestions on packaging and supplies. His support allowed the facility to begin day to day operations as a full service chocolate production company.

Upon his return to the United States, Mr. Newsteder traveled to Boise, Idaho to visit friends. He decided to take residency there and formed Kastle Chocolates. It was during this time that he began to use his graphics and print experience to further develop additional ideas and improvements to his technique for applying edible color to custom molded chocolates, such as using more than one color for greater visual impact. Wanting to return east, Mr. Newsteder sold his shares in Kastle Chocolates to his partner and returned to New York in 1993.

Table of Contents

Mr. Newsteder worked as a mold maker for The Chocolate Inn and Hearts and Flowers from 1993 through 1999 before forming Got Chocolates, Inc. in 2000. He has been in the chocolate business for more than 25 years and has won awards for his products at trade shows held around the country. He has made several appearances on the food segment of a local news magazine program, and Got Chocolates, Inc. has been featured on local television news with our popular chocolate product line. Grant Newsteder manages and oversees all phases of the Company’s operations and the development of new products.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of

Gunther Grant, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Gunther Grant, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit 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 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Gunther Grant, Inc. at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The merger was accounted for at historical cost basis since the business combination was for entities under common control.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (which is determined first-in, first-out basis) or market and consist of raw materials, packaging materials, and finished goods. There was no reserve for obsolete inventories at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from five to ten years.

Leasehold improvements are amortized straight-line over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or over the remaining lease period. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when goods are shipped from production facilities to customers. Revenue is recognized when the following four criteria have been met: the product has been shipped and the Company has no significant remaining obligations; persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collection is probable. Deductions from sales for discounts are recorded as reductions of revenues and are provided for at the time of initial sale of product.

Advertising Costs

The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. The Company incurred advertising expense of $4,483, $4,461 and $11,461 for the periods ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Product Development Costs

Cost of new product development and product redesign are charged to expense as incurred.

Net Loss per Common Stock

Losses per common share are calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average of number of common shares outstanding during the period.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted loss per share computations:

 

     December 31, 2006     December 31, 2005     December 31, 2004  

Numerator for basic and diluted loss per share:

      

Net loss available to common shareholders

   $ (103,681 )   $ (98,378 )   $ (57,354 )

Denominator for basic and diluted loss per common share:

      

Weighted average common shares outstanding

     20,455,849       19,373,068       100  
                        

Net loss per common share available to common Shareholders - basic and diluted

   $ (0.01 )   $ (0.01 )   $ (573.54 )
                        

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure on 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.

NOTE 11- INCOME TAXES

The components of the provision for Federal and State income tax expense are as follows at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004:

 

     December 31, 2006     December 31, 2005     December 31, 2004  

Refundable income taxes attributable to:

      

Current Operations

   $ 140,000     $ 100,000     $ 56,000  

Less: valuation allowance

     (140,000 )     (100,000 )     (56,000 )
                        

Net provision for income taxes

   $ —       $ —       $ —    
                        

No net provision for refundable income taxes has been made because no recoverable taxes were paid previously. Similarly, no deferred tax asset attributable to the net operating loss carryforwards has been recognized, as it is not deemed likely to be realized.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and used for income tax purposes. The cumulative income tax effect at the expected rate of 40% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004:

 

     December 31, 2006     December 31, 2005     December 31, 2004  

Deferred tax asset attributable to:

      

Net operating loss carryforward

   $ 140,000     $ 100,000     $ 56,000  

Less valuation allowance

     (140,000 )     (100,000 )     (56,000 )
                        

Net deferred tax asset

   $ —       $ —       $ —    
                        

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $350,000 in 2006, $250,000 in 2005 and $140,000 in 2004 which expire in the year 2026, 2025 and 2024 respectively.

NOTE 12- NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” which applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity (the acquirer) obtains control of one or more businesses (the acquiree), including those sometimes referred to as “true mergers” or “mergers of equals” and combinations achieved without the transfer of consideration. This statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and measures of goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This

statement will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The future application of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 158, ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension an Other Postretirement Plans.” This new standard requires employers to fully recognize the obligations associated with single-employer defined benefit pension retiree healthcare and other postretirement plans in their financial statements. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 158 and does not believe the adoption of this new accounting standard will result in a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company since the Company currently does not sponsor the defined benefit pension or postretirement plans within the scope of the standard.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” which provides guidance on how to measure assets and liabilities that use fair value. SFAS 157 will apply whenever another U.S. GAAP standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. SFAS 157 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In June 2006, the FASB ratified EITF, No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)”. EITF No. 06-3 requires that, for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006, companies disclose their policy related to the presentation of sales taxes and similar assessments related to their revenue transactions. The Company presents revenue net of sales taxes, therefore EITF No. 06-3 had no effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Gunther Grant, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Gunther Grant, Inc. as of September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity/(deficit) and cash flows for the nine-month periods then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company’s absence of significant revenues and loss from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The 2007 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION AND MERGER

Gunther Grant, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware Corporation headquartered in East Islip, New York. On January 1, 2005 the Company entered into an agreement (the “Stock Transfer Agreement”) with Got Chocolates, Inc. a privately owned corporation whereby the Company exchanged 18,750,000 shares of its own stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Got Chocolates, Inc. (100 shares). Upon closing of the merger transaction, Got Chocolates, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The merger was accounted for at historical cost basis since the business combination was for entities under common control.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Gunther Grant, Inc. (the Company) is a holding company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Its only subsidiary is Got Chocolates, Inc., a wholly owned company organized under the laws of the State of New York. Got Chocolates, Inc. is engaged in the development, production, distribution and marketing of chocolates and various chocolate related items through retail and wholesale channels.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation and Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Got Chocolates, Inc. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Reporting Period

The reporting period of these financial statements are for the nine months ending September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006. The Company operates on a December 31st fiscal year end.

Cash and Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at outstanding principal, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $-0- and $-0- at September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on historical trends and an account-by-account review. Accounts are charged off when collection efforts have failed and the account is deemed uncollectible. The Company normally does not charge interest on accounts receivable.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (which is determined first-in, first-out basis) or market and consist of raw materials, packaging materials, and finished goods. Reserves for slow moving and obsolete inventories are provided based on historical experience and product demand. The reserve for obsolete inventories at September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006 is $-0- and $-0-, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from five to ten years.

Leasehold improvements are amortized straight-line over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or over the remaining lease period. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when goods are shipped from production facilities to customers. Revenue is recognized when the following four criteria have been met: the product has been shipped and the Company has no significant remaining obligations; persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collection is probable. Deductions from sales for discounts are recorded as reductions of revenues and are provided for at the time of initial sale of product.

Advertising Costs

The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. The Company incurred advertising expense of $4,451 and $1,829 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.

Product Development Costs

Cost of new product development and product redesign are charged to expense as incurred.

Net Loss per Common Stock

Losses per common share are calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average of number of common shares outstanding during the period.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted loss per share computations:

 

     September 30, 2007     September 30, 2006  

Numerator for basic and diluted loss per share:

    

Net loss available to common shareholders

   $ (125,568 )   $ (66,074 )

Denominator for basic and diluted loss per common share:

    

Weighted average common shares outstanding

     23,336,885       19,967,088  
                

Net loss per common share available to common Shareholders-basic and diluted

   $ (0.01 )   $ (0.00 )
                

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure on 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.

NOTE 3- GOING CONCERN

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception and may continue to incur losses for the near future. The Company’s business plan anticipates that its future activities will be funded from the issuance of additional equity and profitability provided by ongoing operations by the end of 2008.

From January 2005 through September 30, 2007, the Company raised a net amount of $520,173 of equity capital through private placements. If sales are insufficient to support planned development of new products and expansion of operations, the Company will need to access additional equity or debt capital. If financing is not available when needed or is not available on acceptable terms to the company, the Company’s growth and revenue plans may be materially impaired. Such results could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and future prospects. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 12- NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” which applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity (the acquirer) obtains control of one or more businesses (the acquiree), including those sometimes referred to as “true mergers” or “mergers of equals” and combinations achieved without the transfer of consideration. This statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and measures of goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The future application of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 158, ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension an Other Postretirement Plans.” This new standard requires employers to fully recognize the obligations associated with single-employer defined benefit pension retiree healthcare and other postretirement plans in their financial statements. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 158 and does not believe the adoption of this new accounting standard will result in a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company since the Company currently does not sponsor the defined benefit pension or postretirement plans within the scope of the standard.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” which provides guidance on how to measure assets and liabilities that use fair value. SFAS 157 will apply whenever another U.S. GAAP standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. SFAS 157 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In June 2006, the FASB ratified EITF, No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)”. EITF No. 06-3 requires that, for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006, companies disclose their policy related to the presentation of sales taxes and similar assessments related to their revenue transactions. The Company presents revenue net of sales taxes, therefore EITF No. 06-3 had no effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
