NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
 
Latteno Food Corp. (formerly B&D Food Corp.) (“Latteno” or “the Company”) is a US corporation that concentrates in acquiring, organizing, developing and upgrading companies in the food industry, and more specifically in the dairy and coffee industry.  Currently the Company operates through its subsidiary in Brazil and is developing a plan of operations for its leased facilities in Brazil.
 
The Company was incorporated on August 24, 1994 under the laws of the state of Delaware.  Until October 2004, the principal business activity of the Company was ownership, management, and sale of residential real estate. This activity was carried on through the wholly owned subsidiary Rickets Enterprises International, Inc. In October 2004, the Company sold all of its remaining revenue producing assets and in December 2004 ceased all its active operations.
 
On July 11, 2005, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with BDFC Brasil Alimentos LTDA., a company formed pursuant to the laws of Brazil (“BDFC”) and the stockholders of BDFC (the “BDFC stockholders”) dated as July 8, 2005. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company acquired effectively 100% of the outstanding equity stock of BDFC from the BDFC stockholders.  As consideration for the acquisition of BDFC, the Company agreed to issue 4,767,234 shares of the Company’s common stock to the BDFC stockholders.  As additional consideration, the Company issued an 8% convertible promissory note, in the amount of $10,000,000 to the BDFC stockholders in consideration for the entire preferred stock of BDFC.  The note is payable (principal plus accumulated interest) on July 8, 2008 and may be converted, at the option of the holder, at any time, prior to or at the time of repayment by the Company, to the Company’s common stock at the rate of $4.00 per share.  At the date of the agreement, BDFC stockholders were also the controlling shareholder of the Company.
 
BDFC was originally incorporated under the name Eastco Corporation do Brasil Ltda (“Eastco), under the laws of Brazil on June 2, 1995.  In May 2004, the name of Eastco was changed to Eastco de Alimentos Ltda., as registered with the Junta Comercial de Sao Paolo (Commercial Council) and on June 28, 2005 the name was changed to BDFC Brasil Alimentos Ltda. BDFC has been in the coffee manufacturing business since 1997.  The Company manufactures and purchases coffee grains, toasted and milled coffee, soluble coffee and related products, for sale, import and export.
 
On November 1, 2000, due to adverse financial conditions, BDFC filed a Judicial Creditor’s Agreement called “Concordata Preventiva”.  This agreement consolidates the Company’s debts and postpones all obligations to suppliers and banks for a period of time.  The creditor’s agreement under “Concordata Preventiva” provided for payment in two installments, the first installment of 40% to be paid in one year and the remaining 60% to be paid in two years. BDFC made the full payments of $144,000 and $216,000 on October 30, 2001 and November 25, 2002, respectively.  On March 8, 2005, BDFC paid an additional $15,562 as required by the courts.  To generate sufficient cash flows, in January 21, 2003 management leased its manufacturing facility and equipment to Comercio e Industrias Brasileiras Coimbre S/A (“Coimbra”), an unrelated party. Rents received from the lease were used by BDFC to pay its debts.
 
On July 1, 2008, the Company completed execution of a stock purchase agreement with SBKF Investments, Ltd. (the “Purchaser”) for the sale of 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of BDFC Brasil Alimentos LTDA. a subsidiary of the Latteno.  The purchase price was $5,764,847 and in consideration the Company received a note bearing annual interest of 10% repayable in equal annual payments of principal and interest of $702,909.  The net liabilities of BDFC at the time of the sale were $6,204,539, resulting in a gain on sale of $11,969,386.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (Continued)
 
On May 13, 2009, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to purchase 60% of the outstanding shares of Global Milk Businesses and Administration of Private Properties LTDA. ("Global Milk"), a limited liability company, incorporated in the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil.  Global Milk holds the rights of certain intellectual property of the brand name products manufactured and sold under the brand name Teixeira.
 
Pursuant to the agreement, Latteno acquired 300 common shares of Global Milk from Castrol, LLC ("Castrol"), a Delaware corporation, representing 60% of the outstanding shares of Global Milk, for consideration of 13,000,000 Brazilian Reals ($6,312,800).  Latteno and Castrol are then required to contribute 20,000,000 Brazilian Reals to the company based on their ownership.  Latteno must make the capital contribution of 12,000,000 Brazilian Reals ($5,880,000) and complete payment for the acquired shares of 13,000,000 Brazilian Reals ($6,312,800) by December 10, 2009 or the shares issued will be cancelled.  On October 22, 2009 the deadline for completing the purchase payments was agreed by both parties to be extended to February 10, 2010.    Latteno funded the purchase and contribution requirements on February 10, 2010.
 
Latteno has determined that it is the accounting acquirer and has obtained control of Global Milk.  Latteno has therefore consolidated 100% of Global Milks assets and liabilities.  The net assets of Global Milk on the date of acquisition consisted of trademarks and patents valued at $9,987,200 and liabilities of $3,674,400.
 
On September 1, 2009, our Board of Directors approved, subject to receiving the approval of the holder of a majority of our outstanding capital stock, an amendment and restatement of our Articles of Incorporation (the “Restated Articles”), to change our name to “Latteno Food Corp.” to more accurately reflect our business operations.  The majority stockholders approved the Restated Articles pursuant to a written consent dated as of September 1, 2009.
 
On February 10, 2010 Latteno completed the payment and capital contributions required of the acquisition of Global Milk.  Latteno first acquired land located in Brazil from AES Comercial Ltda through the issuance of a convertible debenture totaling $8,446,421 (15,000,000 Reals).  The note bears interest at 2.75% per annum and matures on February 9, 2015.  This land was then transferred to Global Milk, as part of the required capital contribution.  Latteno issued an additional convertible debenture to Global Milk for $2,711,497 (5,000,000 Reals).  The note bears interest at 2.75% per annum and matures on February 9, 2015.
 
Castrol Latteno’s partner, holder of the 40% non-controlling interest in Global Milk was notified by Latteno that they were in breach of the non-compete clause of the shareholders agreement.  The remaining 5,000,000 Reals  payable to for the GM shares acquired was therefore no longer payable.
 
The above transactions completed the 25,000,000 Reals requirements of Latteno’s acquisition of Global Milk.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (Continued)
 
On March 11, 2010, as a result of the non-compete and other violations by Castrol, a special meeting of the shareholders of Global Milk was held and majority shareholders voted to exclude the partner, Castrol.  As a result, Global Milk effectively became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  The transaction was accounted for as a change in the ownership interests of the Company with an entity under common control, in accordance with ASC 810-10-65-1, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB 51.  As a result, the value of the shares transferred to consummate the exclusion of the partner was $4,767,249, which represented the historical cost basis of the balance of the net assets transferred.  The following disclosure provides details regarding the change in the non-controlling ownership interests of the Company’s subsidiaries, in accordance with ASC 810-10-55-4.

GOING CONCERN
 
The Company's consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has raised capital and financing to cover all of its losses from operations since inception but the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to attain and sustain profitable operations and to generate sufficient capital and financing from external investors and lenders.  For the period ended March 31, 2010 the Company experienced a net income (loss) of $100,458 (March 31, 2009 - $(439,844)) and has a working capital deficiency of $9,465,106 (December 31, 2009 - $16,886,503).
 
Management has recently completed the final payments of the joint venture agreement, where Latteno acquired 60% of Global Milk, a Brazilian Company which owns certain rights to the trademarks, customer lists and distribution of food products.  Management believes that the Global Milk subsidiary will begin to create positive cash flows from operations in the third quarter of 2010.  In addition, the Company is seeking financing to fund the ongoing overhead expenses of Latteno.
 
In the opinion of the management, the anticipated growth of operations and the financing with potential new investors in the future will permit the Company to continue as a going concern in the coming year, until such time that the Company obtains profitable operations.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
 
The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010. The Company’s financial statements contained herein are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.  The Company’s accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of the Company and its effectively wholly owned subsidiary, Global Milk.  All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

OVERVIEW

Company Vision

To utilize the Company’s assets and human expertise in order to enhance its current operations and acquire additional operations in order to become one of the world's largest "breakfast item" food and beverage manufacturing and distribution companies.

Business Summary

Latteno Food Corp. (OTC BB: LATF) is a Delaware corporation that concentrates in acquiring, organizing, developing and upgrading companies in the international food and beverage market. Currently Latteno Food Corp. (“Latteno” or “the Company”) is specializing in the dairy industry and coffee industry. The Company’s management plans to integrate the operations of manufacturing and distribution of acquired entities in order to achieve maximum return on capital for its investors. Currently the Company operates through its subsidiary in Brazil.

Latteno's business model is simple and efficient – Acquisition of a key brand name and distribution system, an "Engine", that will be able to carry the group's products to existing customers in various locations.

The Company is continuing to apply its strategy and seeks growth through the acquisition of plantations, processing and distribution companies across the world.

Unless otherwise stated, currencies are stated in US dollars throughout this document.

History and Nature of Operations

The Company was formed as a holding company through a reverse merge in 2004, in order to acquire companies that will manufacture, process and distribute high-quality coffee products from various companies on a worldwide basis. The Company began its operations under the name B&D Food Corp. as a Brazilian coffee trader, producer and distributor. Its founders share 30 years of experience in the soft commodity world and have managed every aspect of its chain: trading, manufacturing, distribution and branding.

In 2005, the Company obtained a manufacturing arm by acquiring BDFC Brasil Alimentos LTDA (“BDFC”) which owns and operates a coffee manufacturing plant. BDFC has the ability to manufacture and pack roasted and ground coffee, instant coffee and several mixtures of coffee and tea like cappuccino and others. Currently, the Company is focusing on selling its coffee products in South America and Eastern Europe. In addition, the Company is looking to acquire a strong marketing capability in the United States.
 
13

 
In the summer of 2008, the Company ceased operations in the coffee division and began to restructure its debt and equity in an effort to position itself for strategic acquisitions. The first phase of this restructuring involved the sale of the BDFC subsidiary and the leasing back of the land and building where the coffee plant operations were located. This eliminated much of the debt that was associated with the BDFC subsidiary, but still enabled the Company to enter back into the coffee industry at the appropriate time in the future. The phase stage of restructuring if in process and is further described in the Financing section below.
 
On May 13, 2009, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to purchase 60% of the outstanding shares of Global Milk Businesses and Administration of Private Properties LTDA. ("Global Milk"), a limited liability company, incorporated in the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Global Milk holds the rights of certain intellectual property of the brand name products manufactured and sold under the brand name Teixeira, a very strong dairy product brand name and distribution system throughout Brazil. On March 11, 2010, as a result of the non-compete and other violations by Castrol, a special meeting of the shareholders of Global Milk was held and majority shareholders voted to exclude the partner, Castrol.  As a result, Global Milk effectively became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
 
The acquisition of the Teixeira brand, has given Latteno the key branding and manufacturing components that it required to now seek out further strategic acquisitions, re-enter the coffee industry and expand operation internationally carrying its products using proven distribution lines and well known brand names.
 
On June 19, 2009, Spence Walker was appointed as Chief Financial Officer and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. At this time the head offices of Latteno Food Corp were moved to Markham, Ontario, Canada.
 
Keys to Success
 
Establishing strong management team - The right acquisitions are the foundation upon which the Latteno plan is built. A strong acquisition team is mission critical as this is where the revenue and profitability of our product offerings is generated. The food industry space has low costs of entry and competitors can be easily spawned, however Latteno will be able to create a larger profit due to its broader scope and vast sources of revenues and sales opportunities and therefore can offer its employees a better deal and rewards. A critical component is that our plan facilitates that our acquisition team will have ownership in Latteno thus maximizing the commitment to our mutual success.
 
14

 
Offering a broader range of products - Latteno shall continue to grow and expand product lines. Size and a functional distribution of our product lines will give us an immediate competitive advantage to our competitors and will allow all new products to lever their sales and marketing campaigns off the existing and expanding brands. The greater our brands the more new products we are able to effectively introduce. There is no better time to grow in South America than right now. Acquisitions and personnel are inexpensive and are looking for opportunities to prosper.
 
Keeping costs low - Latteno is committed to a common sense, frugal start up, controlled growth and innovative management processes. Our initial staff/management team shall be busy filling many roles until such time as the organization can profitably expand and then fill the roles needed by an expanding profitable organization.
 
Be properly capitalized - It is possible to invest less into this business model however our plan includes budgets and forecasts and we will come across many opportunities for which immediate action is needed to take advantage of the opportunity. Thus we have addressed this with real costs and real expectations and more than enough capital.
 
Securing high volume clients - We plan to pursue direct strategic relationships based on our mass and product lines with high volume clients. The Latteno marketing strategy shall target client's concerns in four specific areas: product, product accountability, financial return and internal client costs for distribution.
 
Mergers, acquisitions and expansion - are the primary key to the success of Latteno’s revenue stream. It will be imperative to maintain tight managerial control of the acquisition marketing strategies while at the same time allowing these strategies to be fluid enough to adapt immediately to fit Latteno’s needs ensuring no disruption of incoming inventories from contracted clients. A company with nothing to sell - sells nothing.

PLAN OF OPERATIONS
 
Summary of Current Operations
 
Latteno has current and potential operations in two divisions and is a holder of an option:
 
Global Milk Ltd. – A 100% owned Brazilian company that owns one of Brazil's most recognized dairy product brands. The Company operates a wide spread and efficient distribution system throughout Brazil.
 
Brazil Coffee Plant – Lease agreement for a non-operational factory in need of refurbishment, that produces instant and ground coffee.
 
Dairy
 
Latteno has acquired 100% of the common stock of Global Milk, a private Brazilian Company that owns the Teixeira brand name, distribution system and sales system. Latteno exclusively out-sources all of the production of the Teixeira products to the Teixeira factories. This acquisition was made in order to utilize the Teixeira distribution system and extensive brand recognition as its Brazilian "Engine" that will promote the group's products.
 
About Teixeira
 
Solon Teixeira de Rezende, started operations of Dairy Teixeira Ltda. with his father, Jerome Tan and his brothers Joseph and Juarez in 1950 in Sao Paulo and southern Minas Gerais. In ten years they opened two new factories then launched the first grated Parmesan cheese in the market.
 
In 1967, Tan acquired more factories and prospered in the 70’s which got them ready for a period of great growth in the 80's. With the opening of production facilities in Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais, they were able to expand with several new points of delivery of milk in these States. The results could not be better: it rode to 220 million liters per year approaching the end of the decade.
 
In 1989, in another step of success in the dairy market of Brazil, Teixeira revised its corporate base and reorganized its operations in preparation for the global economy that it envisioned. This effort was born S. Teixeira Food Products Ltda.
 
17

 
With a modern view of the market, Teixeira outsources certain stages of production, specializing in the areas of: finishing, packaging, sales and marketing, distribution, logistics, customer service, delivery and quality control. Teixeira aims to meet the diverse needs of the market and consumer, consistent with an international market approach. Teixeira now has two production units, a third under construction and partners and suppliers in several Brazilian states and in other parts of the world such as Australia, New Zealand, United States, Europe and Mercosur. This position gives Teixeira the benefit of being close to various types of raw materials, packaging and technology. It holds the market leadership with the grated parmesan cheese, winner of the Top Five of the journal Modern Supermarket and numerous national and international awards quality of their products.
 
Teixeira makes all of this possible with a consistent philosophy of three keys to success:
 
1.     Selling products at reasonable prices utilizing a maximum quality of production and services to its customers;
2.     Seed continuous partnership and trust among its employees, employees and suppliers; and
3.     Increasing the recognition of Mark Teixeira, its main asset.
 
Found in outlets throughout Brazil for 50 years, the products of the Teixeira brand are living proof of success.
 
Coffee
 
Brazil
 
Latteno is currently leasing an instant and roasted coffee factory located in Cruzeiro, Sao-Paulo, which was property the Company previously owned under its BDFC subsidiary. The factory has, in the past, produced large amounts of spray-dried and roasted coffee but is currently in need of a massive refurbishment and system upgrade.
 
In addition to the lease, the Company has maintained ownership of four brand names: "Samba Café", "Vivenda", "Torino" and "Brazilian Best", used in the past by Latteno to sell its instant and roasted coffee across the world.
 
In the future, the Company plans to utilize the factory in one of two options:
 
1.     Invest the needed funds in order to upgrade its machinery and systems in order to produce its various coffee products.
2.     Invest funds to convert the factory into a powdered milk manufacturer.
 
Latteno’s management focus is currently on the successful transition of the Teixeira operations into the Latteno group. When management is confident that the transition is complete and effective, they will begin to examine both of the aforementioned options in order to determine the most suitable option in light of Latteno’s overall vision.
 
18

 
Distribution
 
Latteno plans to use Teixeira's brand recognition and distribution system (see dairy business in previous section) in order to carry its coffee and other breakfast products to markets throughout Brazil.
 
In the future, Latteno plans to acquire additional "Engines" in target markets throughout US, Europe and Asia that will carry the group's products to customers worldwide.
 
Competition
 
The coffee industry is extremely competitive and includes several companies, which have achieved substantially greater market shares than we have and have longer operating histories, larger customer bases and substantially greater financial, development and marketing resources than we do. Our proprietary brand coffees may compete with many other branded coffees which are sold in supermarkets and specialty stores, primarily in Brazil and the United States. Examples of companies we may compete with include, but are not limited to Nestle, Companhia Cacique de Cafe Soluvel, Cafe Soluvel Brasilia and Companhia lguacu de Cafe Soluvel.
 
Beside the Company's experienced management, Latteno's main advantage over any newcomer to this volatile market is its ability to distribute its products to Brazil's largest consumer markets from day one of production, with minimal overhead expenses through the Teixeira distribution system.
 
Milestones
 
In the first twelve months of operations, commencing after the first stage of the internal restructuring and the acquisition of Global Milk (July 2009), the Company has completed or plans to complete the following milestones:

·     Commenced sales of Teixeira products during the 2nd half of July, 2009.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010

During the quarter, we discovered that the supplier of our Teixeira products, who we have purchased exclusive rights to the brand name, had breached the non-compete clause of the purchase agreement.  The purchase price, in accordance with the payment terms, was reduced by 5,000,000 Reals.  This led to our further investigation which discovered further violations by our Global Milk partner and their relationship with the previous owners of Teixeira.  We therefore filed with the Brazilian courts and the exclusion of them as a partner was approved.  As a result of this ongoing dispute, we were forced to suspend operations, as we were no longer on terms necessary to purchase our goods for sale from the Teixeira supplier.

We have spent the remainder of our efforts negotiating directly with the suppliers who our partner had previously acted as a go between.  To date, we have been successful in doing so and will continue to re-structure our supplier chain over the coming months.  Although this has put a damper on our first and second quarter results, the continued affect of these circumstances is very positive for Latteno.  We now have full ownership of the equity of Global Milk and will be able to reduce our product costs and cost of delivery, from being free to negotiate directly with suppliers.  Our customer base that we have acquired and developed over the past year still exists and they have indicated their willingness to continue, once our operations recommence.

In addition, we feel our risk of losing any customers or suppliers to our old partner is limited, due to contractual and court orders prohibiting them from utilizing the Teixeira brand name.  This is evident also, by our successful negotiations with suppliers and customers.
 
Hiring of Management and Other Professionals
 
As a result of conflicts of interest we believe existed with Javier Tano Feijo, we have terminated the contract with him as the President of Global Milk.  We have engaged the services of Mr. Arnaldo Segal as the legal representative of Latteno Food Corp in Brazil and he became the new President of Global Milk, replacing Javier Tano Feijo in February 2010.  Mr Javier Tano Feijo continues as Head of Commercial Operations, through a consulting agreement with Global Milk. We have also retained Mrs. Juliana Carrilo Vieira as the legal counsel for Global Milk.

Branding and Name Registrations
 
We have registered our subsidiary, Global Milk, with over 30 vendors and customers, including Pão de Açucar S/A , Carrefour, WalMart , Makro, Sodexo, Atacadão, Martins,Tenda, and Roldão.
 
Royalties Earned and Receivable
 
According to the agreement for use of the trade name we are owed royalties on any sales of the trade name by Teixiera, until such time as the operations have been transferred.  Since commencement of operations in June 2009, we have earned and have royalties receivable from S.Teixeira Industria de Laticinios Ltda (“Teixeira”) in excess of $600.000.  The amount refers to the percentage on Teixeira gross sales in excess $12,000,000 in the period from May 15, 2009 to March 31st, 2010.  The Company received these royalties on sales of Teixeira products as a transitional remedy until such time as Global Milk was transacting the purchase and sales directly.  The balance owing will be offset against the final payment of the balance owing to Teixeira for the acquisition of their intangible assets and expected to occur in the second quarter of 2010.
 
Customers and Sales
 
Due to the need to suspend operations as discussed above, we have had minimal sales activity.  However we continue to discuss terms with new customers, who have indicated their desire to purchase from us in the future.

In July 2010, we will commence sales and operations with 28 sales reps covering the state of Sao Paulo (46% of Brazilian GDP) with sales expected to be between R$2.5 to 3 million in the first month.

By August 2010 we will plan to start sales in three other states (Rio de Janeiro, Bahia and Pernambuco ) which represent another 25% of Brazilian GDP.
 
Structure

During the quarter, we moved Global Milk offices to Rua Jaragua 90 ,Bom Retiro ,Sao Paulo and reduced our rent payments, these offices will be used as a temporary location, until our full operations are ready to commence at which time we will move to offices closer to our logistic distributor.
 
Inflation

Our results of operations have not been affected by inflation and management does not expect that inflation risk would cause material impact on its operations in the future.

Seasonality

Our results of operations are not materially affected by seasonality and we do not expect seasonality to cause any material impact on our operations in the near future.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
 
Financing

Latteno has mapped out a strong, consistent and achievable growth that will achieve a self sustaining status within its first year of operations under the Global Milk subsidiary.
 
On February 10, 2010 Latteno completed the payment and capital contributions required of the acquisition of Global Milk.  Latteno first acquired land located in Brazil from AES Comercial Ltda through the issuance of a convertible debenture totalling $8,446,421 (15,000,000 Reals).  The note bears interest at 2.75% per annum and matures on February 9, 2015.  This land was then transferred to Global Milk, as part of the required capital contribution.  Latteno issued an additional convertible debenture to Global Milk for $2,711,497 (5,000,000 Reals).  The note bears interest at 2.75% per annum and matures on February 9, 2015.
 
Latteno’s partner, the 40% non-controlling interest of Global Milk was notified by Latteno that they were in violation of the shareholders agreement, due to breach of the non-compete clause.  The remaining 5,000,000 Reals ($2,815,474) payable to Castrol for the GM shares acquired was therefore no longer payable.
 
The above transactions completed the 25,000,000 Reals requirements of Latteno’s acquisition of Global Milk.

We have negotiated working capital funding for our purchases in the amount of 1,000,000 Reals and continuing to negotiate credit terms with suppliers as our operations mature.

This fiscal year to date, we have raised over $200,000 in the form of loans and convertible debentures to provide necessary working capital funding.  We are continuing to seek similar financing until such time as our Global Milk operations reach a profitable stage.  This is expected to be in the third quarter of 2010.
 
Capital Restructuring
 
In the summer of 2008, the Company ceased operations in the coffee division and began to restructure its debt and equity in an effort to position itself for strategic acquisitions. The first phase of this restructuring involved the sale of the BDFC subsidiary and the leasing back of the land and building where the coffee plant operations were located. This eliminated much of the debt that was associated with the BDFC subsidiary, but still enabled the Company to enter back into the coffee industry at the appropriate time in the future. Concurrent with the sale and leaseback transaction, senior management agreed to convert all existing convertible debentures into preferred shares, thus further reducing the overall debt requirements.
 
As the second phase of the Company’s efforts to restructure itself, the Company filed an information statement with the SEC on September 14, 2009 notify stockholders of the following:
 
On or about September 1, 2009, the Company received written consents in lieu of a meeting of Stockholders from holders of 72,654,538 shares representing approximately 46% of the 154,986,955 shares of the total issued and outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company and shareholders holding 3,373,956 Series A Convertible Preferred shares which represent 337,395,600 voting shares of common stock. The holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred shares, have the right to vote 100 times the number of shares of common stock that the Series A Convertible Preferred is convertible into on all matters submitted to the shareholders. The Series A Convertible Preferred shares are each convertible into one hundred shares of common stock.  Therefore the 3,373,956 Series A Convertible Preferred shares are convertible into 337,395,600 common shares and the shareholders have the right to vote one hundred times the number of shares pursuant to the rights designated to the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares and has voted such amount in favor of approving of the Company (the “Majority Stockholders”) to effect a 20-for-1 reverse stock split (pro-rata reduction of outstanding shares) of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) authorizing the Company's Board of Directors, to effect a reverse split of the Company’s common stock of 20:1 (pursuant to which the number of authorized shares of common stock will remain 400,000,000 following such reverse stock split); any fractional shares post-split will be rounded up to the next whole share. Additionally the Reverse Stock Split will affect the conversion ratio for all instruments convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock including its convertible notes, warrants and outstanding preferred stock.
 
22

 
On September 1, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the above-mentioned actions, subject to stockholder approval. The Majority Stockholders approved the actions by written consent in lieu of a meeting on September 1, 2009, in accordance with the Delaware Business Corporation Act (“DBCA”).
 
The Board of Directors believes that, among other reasons, the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock have contributed to a lack of investor interest in the Company and has made it difficult to attract new investors and potential business candidates. The Board of Directors has proposed the Reverse Stock Split as one method to attract business opportunities in the Company.
 
We believe that the reverse stock split may improve the price level of our Common Stock and that the higher share price could help generate interest in the Company among investors and other business opportunities. However, the effect of the reverse split upon the market price for our Common Stock cannot be predicted, and the history of similar stock split combinations for companies in like circumstances is varied. There can be no assurance that the market price per share of our Common Stock after the reverse split will rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding resulting from the reverse split. The market price of our Common Stock may also be based on our performance and other factors, some of which may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding.
 
The advantage of the Reverse Stock Split will be to permit the Company to pursue financing from investors and issue shares of common stock in exchange for the financing. This is the main purpose for the Reverse Stock Split and if the Reverse Stock Split is not completed, the Company would not be able to issue additional shares sufficient to complete a financing. The main disadvantage to the Reverse Stock Split is that it may have an anti-takeover effect and discourage any potential mergers or tender offers.
 
On September 1, 2009, the Company's Board of Directors and persons owning a majority of the Company’s voting securities approved a resolution authorizing the Company to amend the Articles of Incorporation to change the Company’s name to “Latteno Food Corp.” The Board believes that the name change better reflects the nature of the Company’s current and anticipated operations. The Company had operated under the name B&D Food Corp. which reflected the Company’s prior business operations.
 
The final phase of restructuring is planned to take place subsequent to the effectiveness of the stock split, in the second quarter of 2010, and entails converting certain convertible and other forms of debt currently residing in the parent Company. The Company intends to make an offer for conversion at a price relative to the current trading price of the recently split stock. This will satisfy certain debt holders whose debt has reached maturity and reduce the current working capital requirements of the company during this transitional period.

MARKET RISK AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company is seeking to operate primarily in Brazil, making it susceptible to changes in the economic, political, and social conditions in Brazil. Brazil has experienced political, economic, and social uncertainty in recent years, including an economic crisis characterized by exchange rate instability and Brazilian Real devaluation, increased inflation, high domestic interest rates, negative economic growth, reduced consumer purchasing power and high unemployment. Under its current leadership, the Brazilian government has been pursuing economic stabilization policies, including the encouragement of foreign trade and investment and an exchange rate policy of free market flotation. In the last year, there was an improvement in the Brazilian economic environment. Nevertheless, no assurance can be given that the Brazilian government will continue to pursue these policies, that these policies will be successful if pursued or that these policies will not be significantly altered. In case of a decline in the Brazilian economy, political or social problems or a reversal of Brazil's foreign investment policy it is likely that any such change will have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, inflation in Brazil may lead to higher wages and salaries for employees and increases in the cost of raw materials, which would adversely affect the Company's profitability.

Risks inherent in foreign operations include nationalization, war, terrorism, and other political risks and risks of increases in foreign taxes or changes in U.S. tax treatment of foreign taxes paid and the imposition of foreign government royalties and fees.
