Quarterly Report


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This section of the Report includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like:
believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Report. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.

Overview

We are a start-up, development Stage Company and have generated only nominal revenues from our organic food business operations since inception on November 26, 2003 through January 31, 2007 ($202,569). We only began having revenues from operations during the quarter ending July 31, 2006. Our net loss from inception until January 31, 2007 is $1,491,998 and to date, we have been dependent upon equity and debt financing. Since our inception through January 31, 2007, we have been funded through capital contributions of $68,803 from Michael Jordan Friedman, our President and Chief Executive Officer, from the sale of common stock between November 2005 through January 31, 2007 for gross proceeds of $123,969 to 11 investors, from convertible loans totaling $293,000 from ten individuals, and one private loan of $7,500. $68,000 of those convertible loans was issued during the quarter ended January 31, 2006 as well as the private loan of $7,500. In addition, Arthur Friedman, the father of the Company's President and CEO, has made advances to Fresh Harvest $213,821.00 since inception.
Illuminate, Inc., a principal shareholder, has made advances of $13,000 to Fresh Harvest. Such advances do not have written terms and are not convertible nor is the $7,500 private loan.

We were formed in New Jersey as a blank check company on April 21, 2005, under the name Serino 1, Corp. with no operations, assets or purpose other than purpose of seeking a privately held operating company as an acquisition or merger candidate. On December 16, 2005, we acquired Fresh Harvest Products, Inc., a New York corporation, a development stage company in the organic food business, and absorbed its operations into our business. As a result of the acquisition, we are no longer a blank check company, and the controlling shareholders of the acquired company became the controlling shareholders of our company. The acquisition was considered a reverse acquisition for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The unaudited consolidated financial statements that are a part of this Report include the accounts of our company since the acquisition (December 16, 2005) and the historical accounts of Fresh Harvest Products, Inc. the New York corporation since the date of its inception, November 26, 2003. All significant intercompany balances and transfers have been eliminated in consolidation.

After the acquisition, our business plan has been to market and distribute (both domestic and imported) a line of organic food products. We intend our focus to be on the finding quality organic and artisan food products throughout the world. We plan that our Fresh Harvest branded organic food products will be produced by artisan farms, co-ops and families who have historically grown organic products. We initially plan to offer products that include: olive oils from Italy and Spain; coffee from South America, USA and Africa and Fresh Harvest Health Bars that have no sugar added, are cholesterol free, trans fat free, low in sodium and gluten free. Our goal is to bring healthy, great tasting organic food products at affordable prices to the mass markets. All packaging has been previously designed and approved. We also plan to market and distribute a line of Fresh Harvest Health Bars once that product can be produced. We are now selling the product line to select supermarkets chains in the eastern part of the United States. We have one trade name (Wings of Nature™).


As a development stage company, our primary efforts have been devoted to developing our line of organic food products and raising capital. Accordingly, we have limited capital resources and have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expect these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. As of January 31, 2007, the Company had current assets of $302,487, comprised primarily of cash ($35,421), and accounts receivable ($40,931) and inventory ($224,840). Management believes that cash on hand as of January 31, 2007 are not sufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months. Accordingly, we will be required to raise additional funds to meet our short and long-term planned goals. There can be no assurance that such funds, if available at all, can be obtained on terms reasonable to us. In this regard, we have obtained and will continue to attempt to obtain (short and long term) loans for inventory purchases, new product development, expansion, advertising and marketing as well as enter into factoring arrangements using our receivables to finance our operations. In addition, we will attempt to raise funds through the sale of equity. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in obtaining the aforementioned financings (either debt or equity) on terms acceptable to us, or otherwise.

In this regard, on January 2, 2007, we entered into a two year factoring arrangement with Platinum Funding Services LLC. As of February 1, 2007, in conjunction with this arrangement, Platinum had opened a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Company in the amount of CAD$140,294.64 (approximately US$121,300) for the benefit of the Company's third party manufacturer. Platinum has agreed to provide, at any one time, up to US$150,000 through letter of credit financing for the transactions contemplated by the subject agreements. For detailed information, see our Current Report on Form 8K filed with the SEC on February 1, 2007 including the exhibits thereto, all of which are incorporated by reference herein. As of January 31, 2007, we had not utilized this line of credit.

Our unaudited financial statements contained in this Report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our obligations in the normal course of business. Our financial statements indicate that we incurred net losses for the period from inception of November 26, 2003 to January 31, 2007 of $1,491,998.

In the audited financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10KSB for the year ended October 31, 2006, our auditors had provided an explanatory note that indicated that we are a development stage company and our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital to fund future operations and ultimately to attain profitable operations. We believe that nothing has happened in our business operation since then that would change our auditor's opinion about this.

During the next 12 months, we have no material commitments for capital including but not limited to the purchase or sale of a plant or significant equipment. In addition, we do not expect to incur research and development costs within the next 12 months or have any significant changes in the number of our employees.

Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months

Our plan of operation for the twelve months following the date of this Report is to continue to develop and expand our business operations to have sustainable cash flow. We will be delayed in initiating our business plan if and until we have at least an additional $1,000,000 of capital. If we are not successful in raising this capital, we will have to reassess our plan or our chances of being profitable. The plan of operation over the next 12 months may include, but not exclusively, activities such as:


·

Capitalization, including obtaining financing through equity and/or debt financing. Currently, we do not have sufficient financial resources to implement or complete our business plan. We anticipate that we will need a minimum of an additional $1,000,000 to satisfy our cash requirements over the next 12 months. We cannot be assured that revenue from operations, if any, will be sufficient to fund our activities during the next 12 months. Accordingly, we will have to seek alternates sources of capital-including private placements, a future public offering, and/or loans from officers and/or third party lenders. We are not experienced in selling equity. We can offer no assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds if needed, on acceptable terms to us or otherwise. If we are unsuccessful in our attempts to raise sufficient capital, we may have to cease operations or postpone our plans to initiate or complete our business plan. In that case, you may lose your entire investment in our company.

·

Completion of our website, www.freshharvestproducts.com which is currently under construction. Estimated cost: $25,000.

·

Establishing and/or solidifying relationships with manufacturers, packagers and suppliers, including growers of organic foods such as artisan farms, co-ops and farming families in America and throughout the world. Estimated cost: $125,000 (which includes the production of sample products).

·

Establishing a distribution network for our products including supermarkets, independent grocers, food brokers and snack distributors. Estimated cost:
$55,000.

·

Conducting a search for new manufacturers and packaging companies.

·

Commence and establish marketing, advertising and promotion programs to increase brand equity and awareness. Estimated cost: $220,000.

·

Salaries, including for present employees and possible new hiring of additional management personnel and appropriate operating and sales staff. Estimated cost:
$125,000.

·

Partial repayment of convertible loans. Estimated cost: $20,000.

·

Repayment of the Note payable incurred in connection with the reverse merger, which is due approximately December 16, 2007. Estimated cost: $430,000.

These are only estimates and no assurance can be given regarding either statement as to timing or actual eventuality. If we can raise more than the minimum amounts indicated above, we anticipate spending increased amounts on establishing and expanding our distribution network, marketing, advertising and promotions.

We commenced operations and first had revenues from operations during our third quarter ended July 31, 2006. It is our plan that our business operations will generate sufficient revenues to sustain our operations and cash flow by January 1, 2008. We have recently purchased a minimum number of products (coffee, health and coffee and salsa), and anticipates sales that will provide revenues for operations. The revenue generated from these sales will be used to make additional product purchases and minimally fund our operations.

We estimate that our cash and other current assets as of January 31, 2007, of approximately $302,487 will only be sufficient to meet our short term needs for approximately four months. If we are unable to raise the required financing, we will be delayed in commencing our business plan. Currently, because we are considered a new business with limited credit history with vendors, suppliers, manufacturers, packagers and food producers, we must pay for our purchases "up front" and are not granted credit terms. This will continue until we have established a satisfactory credit history. We cannot estimate, with any certainty, how long this may take, or if it will occur at all. Our inability to obtain credit from such providers has a significant impact upon our liquidity and our ability to utilize funds for other purposes. Similarly, if and when we hire salesmen and /or additional personnel, including management and sales personnel, the cost related to such hirings will have a significant impact on our liquidity and deployment of funds.


Results of Operations for Three Month Periods Ending January 31, 2006 and January 31, 2007.

Financial Information from Comparative Quarters

We first began to have revenues during the quarter ending July 31, 2006. Prior to that we did not have revenues and only had losses. Accordingly, a comparison of the results of accounting periods prior to the quarter ending July 31, 2006 may not be meaningful in making investment evaluations regarding our company. We are presently in the development stage of our business. In that regard, we can provide no assurance that we will ever be profitable in our operations.

For the three months ended January 31, 2007, we recorded revenues of $25,002 versus revenues of $-0- in the same period of 2006. The increase in revenues is solely attributed to the commencement of operations during the quarter ended July 31, 2006.

Gross profit, defined as revenues less cost of goods sold, was $(9,350) for the three months ended January 31, 2007, compared to $-0- for the three months ended January 31, 2006. The difference is attributed to the fact there were no sales during the 2006 period, and thus no cost of goods sold.

Cost of goods sold was $34,352 for the three months ended January 31, 2007 compared to $-0- for the three months ended January 31, 2006. Such change is solely due to the fact that there were no sales in the 2006 period and thus no cost of goods sold.

We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $208,773 for the three months ended January 31, 2006, and $514,636 for the three months ended January 31, 2006.

Our net loss decreased from $514,636 for three months ended January 31, 2006 to $218,123 for the three months ended January 31, 2007. The 2007 period had an increase in general and administrative expenses to $207,251 from $114,636 in the 2006 period primarily due to a increase in operating activities, including marketing and salary expenses, in the 2007 period as opposed to the 2006 period. However, the 2006 period reflects a one time charge of $400,000 attributable to the December 2005 merger.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

At January 31, 2007, we had current assets of $302,487 including cash in the amount of $35,421, inventory of $224,840 and accounts receivable of $40,931. We had net fixed assets of $31,086 and prepaid expenses of $1,295.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.


Significant Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The application of our critical accounting policies is particularly important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations. These critical accounting policies require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Basis

The basis is United States generally accepted accounting principles. Effective December 16, 2005, the Company declared a 1 for 30 reverse split of its common shares. Such split has been retroactively affected in all periods presented.

Earnings per Share

The basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the Company's net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted during the period for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.

The Company has not issued any options or warrants or similar securities since inception. Potentially dilutive common shares of approximately 275,000 related to convertible loans were not included in the calculation for any periods presented as they are anti-dilutive.

Common shares and common share equivalents of 15,840,173, issued by the Company at prices below the offering price during the twelve-month period prior to the proposed offering date have been included in the calculation of common share and common share equivalents as if they were outstanding for all periods presented

Dividends

The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during the period shown.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is the total of the current taxes payable and the net of the change in the deferred income taxes. Provision is made for the deferred income taxes where differences exist between the period in which transactions affect current taxable income and the period in which they enter into the determination of net income in the financial statements.

Advertising

Advertising is expensed when incurred. There has been no advertising during the period.


General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include costs associated with developing the Company's line of products, such as designs, packaging and selling, as well as other administrative expenses such as telephone, legal fees, travel and the like.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
