(1) Nature of Business
Bella Petrella’s Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") is a marketing Company, incorporated in Florida on July 28, 2009, with headquarters in Orlando, Florida. The Company sells its own line of gourmet pasta sauces and salsas. The Company is the sole owner of two subsidiaries, Bobby V's Original Westshore Pizza, LLC ("Bobby V's), incorporated in Florida, on August 27, 2008, and Philly Westshore Franchising Enterprises, Inc. ("Philly"), organized in Florida, on March 30, 2008. Bobby V's is a pizza and sandwich sports bar located in Tampa, Florida. Philly, headquartered in Tampa Florida, franchises pizza and sandwich sports bar restaurants primarily in Florida, Georgia, and Ohio. Bobby V's and Philly are referred to together as the "Westshore Companies". The Company’s principal assets are the pasta sauce recipes developed by one of its founders, the pizza and sandwich sports bar's reputation, customer base, inventory and equipment, and franchise contracts and related receivables.
(2) Basis of Presentation and Going Concern
While the information presented in the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements is unaudited, it includes all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). These interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as used in the May 31, 2011 audited financial statements of the Company. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Interim consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto do not contain all of the disclosures normally found in year-end audited consolidated financial statements, and these notes to interim condensed consolidated financial statements are abbreviated and contain only certain disclosures related to the nine months period ended February 29, 2012. It is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s year-end audited May 31, 2011 financial statements. Operating results for the nine month period ended February 29, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending May 31, 2012.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due.
The Company has incurred net losses during the nine months ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 of $1,474,085 and $573,918, respectively. To continue as a going concern, the Company plans to raise funds through private placements and public stock offerings. These funds will be used for marketing, to retire promissory notes issued to purchase the Westshore Companies, and for payment of general and administrative expenses. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

(3) Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported revenues and expenses during the period. Management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying consolidated financial statements include estimates related to classification of expenditures as either an asset or expense, valuation of deferred tax assets, and the likelihood of loss contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and assumptions are revised periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period it is determined to be necessary. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bella Petrella’s Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain accounts in the prior-year end financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation of the current-year consolidated financial statements.
Inventory
Inventories of food, beverage, and paper supplies are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred and significant replacements and improvements are capitalized. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.

(3) Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairment charges were considered necessary during the period ended February 29, 2012.
Goodwill
Goodwill is reviewed for possible impairments at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill impairment is identified by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the implied fair value of the goodwill within the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. No impairment was considered necessary during the period ended February 29, 2012.
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for revenue recognition in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (SAB 101) and FASB ASC 605 Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue for the pasta sauces and salsas operation, when rights and risk of ownership have passed to the customer, when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, product has been shipped or delivered to the customer, the price and terms are finalized, and collections of resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Pasta sauces and salsa products are primarily shipped FOB shipping point at which time title passes to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue for the pizza and sports bar operation at the point of sale. The Company recognizes franchise fee revenue when all material services or conditions relating to the sale have been substantially performed or satisfied, and franchise royalty fees are earned and recognized monthly. Deferred revenue results when franchise fee revenues are received in advance and substantial performance of franchisor obligations have not been completed. Territory agreements provide for the development of a specified number of franchised restaurants within a defined geographic territory. Territory agreements are recognized ratably over the term of the agreements, which are typically ten years.
Share-Based Compensation
U.S. GAAP requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The expense is to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award.

(3) Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Share-Based Compensation (continued)
The Company accounts for common stock warrants granted based on the fair market value of the instrument using the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing certain weighted average assumptions such as expected stock price volatility, term of the common stock warrants, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividend yield at the grant date. Expected stock price volatility is based on a calculated value which was determined through the weighted average stock price volatilities of appropriate peer companies. The expected term of the common stock warrants granted is equal to the estimated life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the common stock warrants. The Company does not expect to pay any dividends.
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates.
Certain guidance located within Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, "Income Taxes" (“ASC Topic 740”), clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC Topic 740 provides guidance on the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on the recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. The Company had no uncertain tax positions for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2012 and the three and nine months ended February 28, 2011.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic loss per common share is computed based on weighted average shares outstanding and excludes any potential dilution from stock options, warrants and other common stock equivalents; this metric is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock (i.e., options and warrants) were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. For the periods ended February 29, 2012 and May 31, 2011, common stock equivalents consisting of 1,000,000 outstanding warrants were not considered in the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for diluted EPS, as they would be anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net loss per common share.

Allocation of Consideration Transferred
U.S. GAAP, requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date.
The purchase price for Bobby V's and Philly was provisionally allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at acquisition date, with the excess being allocated to goodwill, in the following unaudited table:

According to generally accepted accounting principles, the Company has a one year measurement period to adjust the purchase price allocation. In the accompanying consolidated financial statements the initial accounting for the business combination has not been completed because the intangible asset valuation has not been received. Accordingly, management's purchase price allocation is provisional (which may impact intangible asset valuations and the purchase price allocation), until the Company receives an independent purchase price allocation report which is expected to be delivered soon.

(12) Subsequent Events
Effective March 8, 2012, our majority stockholder, JVW Entertainment, Inc., removed two of the Company's directors by action by written consent. More information about the removal of these board members is available in our report on Form 8-K filed on March 8, 2012.
On March 9, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement whereby the Company issued a convertible debenture in the amount of $42,500. The convertible debenture matures December 12, 2012 and carries an interest rate of 8% per annum. The convertible debenture can be prepaid during the first 90 days at an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, multiplied by 140%. The convertible debenture can be prepaid during 91st day through to the 150th day following the issue date, at an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, multiplied by 145%. The convertible debenture can be prepaid during the 151st day through to the date of maturity, at an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, multiplied by 150%. If the convertible debenture is not retired prior to maturity, it is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a 49% discount off the average of the lowest three closing bid prices as listed on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board during the last 15 day trading period ending one trading day prior to a conversion notice being conveyed by the holder. The proceeds received from the issuance of this convertible debenture were used to pay legal and accounting fees.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our consolidated operations include a well established and recognized pizza and sandwich sports bar located in Tampa, Florida, a company that franchises pizza and sandwich sports bars in the states of Florida, Ohio, and Georgia, and a company that sells and distributes pasta sauces and salsas in the northeastern United States.
Since our inception on July 28, 2009 through February 29, 2012 we have generated revenues of $1,504,290 and incurred a net loss of $2,410,975. We believe that our subsidiary operations are synergistic which will lead to improvements in overall operating results over time. We believe that our pizza and sandwich sports bar will be profitable after we achieve the required funding to retire the promissory notes issued to purchase the operation. We believe the franchising operation will continue to grow and will provide profits resulting from new territory agreements and expanded marketing efforts to build name recognition. We also believe that our marketing plan for our pasta sauce products, focusing on institutional sales, will build sales volume over the next twelve months due to the reduced acid content of our sauces and salsas, as compared to other brands of tomato based sauces, providing protection from heartburn and acid reflux, as well as our all natural ingredients and homemade flavor. Management believes that increased sales volume is directly proportional to increased purchasing volume, from which we should experience economies of scale to lower our cost of ingredients, packaging, and other direct cost. We believe that lower direct cost, coupled with increased sales volume, should equate to profitability. You have no assurance that our beliefs or expectations will be achieved or that cash flows from our business will be adequate to achieve profitability or to maintain operations.
The operating results for the period ended February 29, 2012 includes revenues and expenses of our subsidiary operations acquired September 2, 2011. The operating activity during the period ended February 28, 2011, was limited to our pasta sauce and salsa distribution operation.

We expect our sales to increase for fiscal year ending May 31, 2013 resulting from the acquisition of our pizza restaurant and sports bar, the acquisition of our franchising operation, from the increased marketing and geographical expansion efforts of our franchising company, and from the implementation of a marketing plan to target institutional customers for our pasta sauce and salsa distribution operation. The expansion plan for our franchise operation includes an expected growth of twenty new locations over the next ten years. On September 25, 2011, our franchise operation entered into a territory agreement for the state of Georgia which requires the territory owner to open ten stores in Georgia over the next ten years. On March 23, 2011, our franchise operation entered into a territory agreement for the state of Ohio which requires the territory owner to open twenty-three stores in Ohio over through the period ended January 31, 2021. We plan to realign operations of our franchise stores in Florida to optimize revenues. We are engaged in negotiations for potential territory franchise agreements in Texas, California and Nevada.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of February 29, 2012, our cash balance was $18,605. The Statements of Cash Flows provide information about our net cash flow for the financial statement periods presented in this quarterly report. Our pizza restaurant and sports bar operation, and franchise operation, are financed by operating cash flow. To date, we have financed corporate overhead and our pasta and salsa distribution operation through the issuance of stock and contributions to capital by JVW Entertainment, Inc.
We expect our liquidity to improve during the 2013 fiscal year based on our recent acquisitions and funding for continuing operations we believe may be available based on our projected revenue growth.
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Our subsidiary operations will require funding for planned expansion and marketing efforts necessary to achieve the potential growth. We are contractually unable to utilize cash flow generated from subsidiary operations until we obtain funding to retire the promissory notes issued to acquire the pizza restaurant and sports bar, and franchising operation. Since inception, funding to cover our corporate overhead has been provided by the proceeds from the sale of stock, and contributions of capital made by JVW Entertainment, Inc. There is no assurance that the sale of stock in the short term, will provide required working capital, and there is no obligation for JVW Entertainment, Inc. to make further contributions of capital or to provide any other form of funding. We believe cash flow generated from the sale of our products will be sufficient to sustain current operations; but, product sales alone will not generate sufficient profits to implement our plan of operations. To fully implement our plan of operations, we expect to require $10,000,000 over the next thirty-six months. In the event we require additional capital to fund operations and growth, we may need to sell securities in private placements or obtain debt funding. You have no assurance we will be able to make private sales of our securities or obtain debt funding, if we should have a need so to do.
The following table provides information about the recent acquisitions of two subsidiaries. More information about the transactions is available in our report on Form 8-K filed on September 6, 2011.

(1) Extension granted, in consideration of 500,000 shares of common stock for extension of all notes.
(2) Extension granted in consideration of 1,000,000 shares of common stock for extension of all notes.
We are currently in talks with several equity participants to secure the $4.5 million we need to pay the notes we have issued to purchase our subsidiaries and to close the purchase of the real estate on which our Tampa restaurant is located. You have no assurance we will be successful in our efforts to obtain the needed equity financing. Our note holders have extended the due dates on the notes until August 31, 2012. If we are unable to retire the notes by the extended due dates, and the note holders do not grant a further extension, we would lose ownership of our subsidiaries.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Estimates. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported revenues and expenses during the period. Management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying consolidated financial statements include estimates related to classification of expenditures as either an asset or expense, and the likelihood of loss contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on experience, which is limited at this time, and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management revises estimates and assumptions periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period during which it is determined to be necessary. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
According to generally accepted accounting principles, the Company has a one year measurement period to adjust the purchase price allocation. In the accompanying consolidated financial statements the initial accounting for the business combination has not been completed because the intangible asset valuation has not been received. Accordingly, management's purchase price allocation is provisional (which may impact intangible asset valuations and the purchase price allocation), until the Company receives an independent purchase price allocation report which is expected to be delivered soon.
The Company accounts for long-lived assets, including intangibles that are amortized, in accordance with GAAP, which requires that all long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Management considers both qualitative and quantitative factors when considering circumstances that may indicate impairment. This consideration requires significant management judgment and could have a significant effect of the recognition of impairment charges. If indicators of impairment are present, reviews are performed to determine whether the carrying value of an asset to be held and used is impaired. Such reviews involve a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset over its remaining useful life. The determination of future cash flows involves inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment regarding the future operations of the Company. If the comparison indicates that there is impairment, the impaired asset is written down to its fair value.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
307 – Disclosure controls and procedures: As of February 29, 2012 and May 31, 2011, our management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officers. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined in Exchange Act Rule 15d–15(e) as “controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.” Based on our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of February 29, 2012 and May 31, 2011, we did not have effective disclosure controls and procedures.
22
The primary reason for our management’s conclusions is that we did not have a plan in place for implementing controls and procedures nor did we have sufficient personnel to implement checks and balances. We believe that we will have sufficient funds available to develop a plan in the foreseeable future. We do anticipate that our business will need sufficient personnel in the foreseeable future that are needed to implement checks and balances.
308(b) – Changes in internal control over financial reporting: Based upon an evaluation by our management of our internal control over financial reporting, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officers, there were no changes made in our internal control over financial reporting during the period ended February 29, 2012 and May 31, 2011 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect this control.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Control: Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures, if any, or our internal controls over financial reporting, if any, will necessarily prevent all fraud and material errors. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations on all internal control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, and/or by management override of the control. The design of any system of internal control is also based in part upon certain assumptions about risks and the likelihood of future events, and there is no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in circumstances and the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective internal control system, financial reporting misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected on a timely basis.
