NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period from October 29, 2009 (date of inception) to March 31, 2011
NOTE ADESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
57th Street General Acquisition Corp. (a corporation in the development stage) (the Company or
57th Street) was incorporated in Delaware on October 29, 2009. The Company was formed
for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock
purchase, reorganization, exchangeable share transaction or other similar business transaction, one
or more operating businesses or assets that the Company had not then identified (Business
Transaction). Prior to its consummation of a Business Transaction on May 5, 2011, the Company had
neither engaged in any operations nor generated any income, and focused only on identifying a
prospective target business or asset with which to consummate a Business Transaction.
As of March 31, 2011, and prior to the consummation of the Business Transaction on May 5, 2011, the
Company was considered to be in the development stage as defined in FASB Accounting Standard
Codification, or ASC 915, Development Stage Entities, and was subject to the risks associated
with activities of development stage companies.
As more fully described in Note I Subsequent Events, in January 2011, the Company announced its
Business Combination Agreement dated as of January 9, 2011 and amended on each of February 18,
2011, March 17, 2011 and April 7, 2011 (as amended, from time-to-time, the Business Combination
Agreement), by and among 57th Street, 57th Street Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of 57th Street (Merger Sub),
Crumbs Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Crumbs), the members of Crumbs
immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger (the Members) and the representatives of the
Members and Crumbs pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, Merger
Sub was merged with and into Crumbs with Crumbs surviving the merger as a non-wholly owned
subsidiary of 57th Street (the Merger). The Merger was consummated on May 5, 2011 and
constituted the Companys Business Transaction. The entity surviving the Merger kept the Crumbs
name. The Company intends to change its name to Crumbs Bake Shop, Inc. in the near future.
All activity through March 31, 2011 relates to the Companys formation, initial public offering
(Offering) and identifying and investigating prospective target businesses with which to
consummate a Business Transaction. It does not, however, take into account the consummation of
the Merger, which subsequently occurred on May 5, 2011.
The registration statement for the Offering was declared effective May 19, 2010. The Company
consummated the Offering on May 25, 2010 and received net proceeds of approximately $48,816,340,
before deducting deferred underwriting compensation of $550,000 and $100,000 for the purchase of
200,000 warrants by the lead underwriter of the Offering.
On May 25, 2010, 57th Street GAC Holdings, LLC, (the Sponsor) and the underwriters of
the Offering purchased 3,700,000 warrants to purchase 3,700,000 shares of common stock (Sponsor
Warrants) from the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $1,850,000. The Sponsor Warrants are
identical to the warrants sold in the Offering, except that if held by the original holders or
their permitted assigns, they (i) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis; (ii)
are not subject to being called for redemption; and (iii) with respect to Sponsor Warrants held by
the lead underwriter of the Offering and beneficially owned by Mark Klein as a result of being a
member of the Sponsor, will expire May 19, 2015, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In
connection with the Business Transaction, on May 5, 2011, the above parties entered into an Insider
Warrant Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which the 3,700,000 Sponsor Warrants would be exchanged for
370,000 shares of common stock.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period from October 29, 2009 (date of inception) to March 31, 2011
(a development stage company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period from October 29, 2009 (date of inception) to March 31, 2011
On May 28, 2010, the Company consummated the closing of an additional 456,300 units pursuant
to the exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option as part of the Offering and received net
proceeds of $4,423,286 before deducting deferred underwriting compensation of $50,193.
Total gross proceeds to the Company from the 5,456,300 units sold in the offering (including the
456,300 Units sold pursuant to the over-allotment option) were $54,563,000.
As of March 31, 2011, and prior to the consummation of the Merger, the Companys management had
broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering,
although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering were intended to be generally
applied toward consummating a Business Transaction.
On May 25, 2010, $50,000,000 from the Offering and Sponsor Warrants was placed in a trust account
(Trust Account) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning of Section
2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) with a maturity of 180 days or
less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the
1940 Act, until the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Business Transaction (which was
consummated on May 5, 2011) or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. On
May 28, 2010, an additional $4,476,303 representing Offering proceeds from the partial exercise of
the underwriters over-allotment option was deposited in the Trust Account. On May 28, 2010, the
Sponsor forfeited 32,633 shares of common stock back to the Company. All shares and per share data
in the financial statements have been adjusted to give effect to the forfeiture. As of March 31,
2011, a total of $54,476,303 (including the proceeds from the sale of the Sponsor Warrants for
$1,850,000 to the Companys sponsor and the lead underwriter of the Offering) had been placed in
trust.
The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of one or more target
businesses or assets, was not required to submit the proposed Business Transaction for stockholder
approval. The Company was required to submit the Business Transaction for stockholder approval if
such approval was required by law, or if the Company elected to do so for other business or legal
reasons. The Company did not seek stockholder approval of its Business Transaction, and proceeded
with the same as its board of directors approved the transaction and less than 88% of the public
stockholders exercised their redemption rights pursuant to a tender offer conducted by the Company.
The tender offer expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on May 4, 2011. All shares subject to
redemption as of March 31, 2011 have been recorded at a fair value and were classified as temporary
equity upon the completion of the Business Transaction, in accordance with FASB ASC 480-10.
In connection with its IPO, the Companys Sponsor, officers and directors previously agreed that
the Company would only have until August 19, 2011 to consummate its initial Business Transaction.
As the Business Transaction was consummated on May 5, 2011, this requirement was satisfied on such
date, and thus, the Company has no obligation to cease operations or otherwise wind up as of
August 19, 2011.
NOTE BSUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Company selected December 31 as

Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of 57th Street General
Acquisition Corp. should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Companys 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the SEC) on February 10, 2011. The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 8 and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, since they are interim
statements, the accompanying financial statements do not include all of the information and notes
required by GAAP for a complete financial statement presentation. The balance sheet as of December
31, 2010 was derived from the Companys audited financial statements but does not include all
disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements
reflect all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim
periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Development Stage Company
The Company complies with the reporting requirements of FASB ASC 915, Development Stage Entities.
At March 31, 2011, the Company had not commenced any operations nor generated revenue as of such
date, other than interest on the Trust Account balance. All activity through March 31, 2011 relates
to the Companys formation, the Offering and, investigating prospective target businesses with
which to consummate a Business Transaction. Such activity does not, however, reflect the
Companys subsequent consummation of its Business Transaction on May 5, 2011.
Net loss per common share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per
Share. Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. At March
31, 2011, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that
could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of
the Company. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share
for the period.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist
of cash accounts in a financial institution, which at times, may exceed the Federal depository
insurance coverage of $250,000. At March 31, 2011, the Company had not experienced losses on these
accounts and management believed the Company was not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Investments held in the Trust Account
At March 31, 2011, the amounts held in the Trust Account represented substantially all of the
proceeds of the Offering and were classified as restricted assets since such amounts could only be
used by the Company in connection with the consummation of a Business Transaction. The funds held
in the Trust Account were invested primarily in United States Treasury Securities. The Company
considered Treasury Bills with a maturity of 3 months or less to be cash equivalents. On May 5,
2011, in connection with the subsequent consummation of its Business Transaction, the Company
instructed its trustee to liquidate the proceeds of the Trust Account, and approximately $15.9
million of such proceeds were used by the Company to promptly purchase the shares of the Companys
common stock validly tendered and not withdrawn upon the expiration of its tender offer, which
expired at 5:00 p.m. on May 4, 2011.

Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of the Companys assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments
under FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, approximates the carrying amounts
represented in the balance sheet.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization are provided by the straight-line and accelerated methods over the assets
estimated useful lives.
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 revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Deferred offering costs
The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S25-1,Expenses of Offering.
Securities held in Trust Account
At March 31, 2011, investment securities consisted of United States Treasury securities. The
Company classified its securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with FASB ASC 320 Investments
- Debt and Equity Securities. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company
has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are
recorded at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.
A decline in the market value of held-to-maturity securities below cost that is deemed to be other
than temporary, results in an impairment that reduces the carrying costs to such securities fair
value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established.
To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company considers whether it has
the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether
evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary.
Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and the
duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year-end, forecasted performance of the
investee, and the general market condition in the geographic area or industry the investee operates
in.
Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity
security as an adjustment to yield using the effective-interest method. Such amortization and
accretion is included in the interest income line item in the statements of operations. Interest
income is recognized when earned.

Income tax
The Company complies with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability
approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets
and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws
and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized. The Company established a valuation allowance of $132,000 and $114,600 as
of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which fully offsets the deferred tax asset
of $132,000 and $114,600 respectively. The deferred tax asset results from applying an effective
combined federal and state tax rate of 40% to start-up costs of approximately $113,000 that are not
immediately deductible. Effective tax rates differ from statutory rates due to timing differences
in the deductibility of expenses.
Effective October 29, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standard Codification or FASB ASC 740-10-25 which establishes recognition
requirements for the accounting for income taxes. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of
March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The section prescribes a recognition threshold and a
measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position
must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company is
subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. The Company
recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax
expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at March 31, 2011. The
Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant
payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The adoption of the provisions of FASB
ASC 740-10-25 did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position and results of
operation and cash flows as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2011.
Recently issued accounting standards
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations Disclosure of Supplementary
Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations, (ASU 2010-29), that amends ASC Subtopic 805-50,
Business Combinations Disclosures, and requires public entities that are required to present
comparative financial statements to disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though
the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of
the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendment also requires public entities to
include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments
directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and
earnings. 57th Street adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-29.
NOTE CINITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Between May 25, 2010 and May 28, 2010, the Company sold to the public 5,456,300 units (including
the 456,300 units sold pursuant to the over-allotment option) at $10.00 per unit (Units). Each
Unit consists of one share of the Companys common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one redeemable
common stock purchase warrant (Warrant). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase from
the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 commencing on June 6, 2011
(the first business day to follow 30 days after the completion of the May 5, 2011 Business
Transaction), and will expire May 5, 2016 (five (5) years from the effective date of the
consummation of the Business Transaction). The Warrants may be redeemed by the Company at a price
of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days prior notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the
event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $17.50 per share for any 20 trading
days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which
notice of redemption is given.

NOTE DRELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company issued a $10,000 unsecured promissory note to the sponsor on November 10, 2009. The
note, which was paid from proceeds of the Offering in May 2010, was non-interest bearing and was
payable on the earlier of December 31, 2010 or the consummation of the Proposed Offering. Due to
the short-term nature of the note, the fair value as of December 31, 2010 of the note approximates
its carrying amount of $10,000.
On November 6, 2009, the Company issued to the Sponsor (i) 638,889 shares of restricted common
stock (up to 83,333 of which were subject to forfeiture if the underwriters over-allotment option
was not exercised in full), for an aggregate amount of $25,000 in cash. The purchase price for
each share of common stock was approximately $0.039 per share. The Sponsor agreed that these
shares of common stock will not be sold or transferred until one year following consummation of a
Business Transaction, subject to certain limited exceptions. On May 28, 2010, the Sponsor forfeited
32,633 of these shares in connection with the underwriters partial exercise of their
over-allotment option.
From January 1 through June 30, 2010, an officer paid vendor bills on behalf of the Company in the
aggregate amount of $5,051, which was due on demand without interest. The balance was repaid from
the proceeds of the Offering in May 2010.
The Sponsor and underwriters of the Offering agreed to purchase an aggregate of 3,700,000 Sponsor
Warrants in a private placement, prior to the consummation of the Offering at a price of $0.50 per
warrant (an aggregate purchase price of $1,850,000) from the Company. Based on the observable
market prices, the Company believes that the purchase price of $0.50 per warrant for such warrants
exceeded the fair value of such warrants on the date of the purchase.
The valuation was based on comparable initial public offerings. The holders have agreed that the
Sponsor Warrants will not be sold or transferred until 30 days following consummation of a Business
Transaction, subject to certain limited exceptions. If the Company does not complete a Business
Transaction, then the proceeds will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public
stockholders and the Sponsor Warrants will expire worthless. The Company classified the Sponsor
Warrants within permanent equity as additional paid-in capital in accordance with FASB ASC 815-40.
The Sponsor and the underwriters will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration
rights agreement. Such persons will be entitled to demand registration rights and certain
piggy-back registration rights with respect to its shares of common stock, the Sponsor Warrants
and the common stock underlying the Sponsor Warrants, commencing on the date such common stock or
Sponsor Warrants are released from escrow. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in
connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
NOTE ECOMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
At March 31, 2011, a contingent fee payable to the underwriters of the Offering equal to 1.10% of
the gross proceeds from the sale of the Units sold in the Offering would become payable from the
amounts held in the Trust upon the consummation of the Companys Business Transaction. All such
contingent fees were paid by the Company in the form of common stock (60,019 shares) upon
consummation of the Business Transaction.
At March 31, 2011, the Company was also obligated to its legal counsel for certain fees and
expenses related to the Offering. In connection therewith, and as of such date, the Company and
its counsel agreed that payment of $100,000 of such legal fee would be deferred until, and payable
only upon the consummation of the Companys Business Transaction. As of March 31, 2011, in
consideration of such deferral and solely upon the consummation of a Business Transaction, the
Company agreed to issue its legal counsel 35,000 warrants on the same terms as the Sponsor
Warrants. All such fees were paid by the Company in the form of cash and common stock upon
consummation of its Business Transaction, and further, the Companys counsel elected to forego its
right to receive such additional 35,000 warrants.

NOTE I SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Business Combination Agreement and Tender Offer
The Company entered into the Business Combination Agreement dated as of January 9, 2011 and amended
on each of February 18, 2011, March 17, 2011 and April 7, 2011 by and among the Company, Merger
Sub, Crumbs, the Members and the representatives of the Members and Crumbs pursuant to which,
subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, Merger Sub was merged with and into Crumbs
with Crumbs surviving the merger as a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, in exchange for
consideration in the form of cash, newly issued preferred stock of 57th Street, and
newly issued exchangeable units of Crumbs Holdings LLC (as the entity surviving the Merger)
Company. The entity surviving the Merger kept the Crumbs Holdings, LLC name. The Company intends
to change its name to Crumbs Bake Shop, Inc. in the near future.
Concurrently with the Merger, the Company provided its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem
up to 1,803,607 shares of common stock for cash equal to $9.98 per share, upon the consummation of
the Merger (the Tender Offer). The Companys board of directors unanimously (i) approved the
Company making the Tender Offer, (ii) declared the advisability of the Merger and approved the
Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination
Agreement, and (iii) determined that the Merger was in the best interests of the Companys
stockholders and would constitute the Companys Business Transaction pursuant to its Certificate of
Incorporation. The Tender Offer expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on May 4, 2011, and on May
5, 2011, the Company promptly purchased the 1,594,584 shares of common stock validly tendered and
not withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offer, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $15.9
million. In connection with the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor forfeited 150,000
shares of common stock back to the Company.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, Crumbs amended and
restated its limited liability company agreement to replace the various classes of its existing
membership interests with two new classes of membership interests:
| a new class A voting membership interests (the New Crumbs Class A Voting Units);
and |
||
| a new class B exchangeable membership interests (the New Crumbs Class B
Exchangeable Units). |
Under the terms of the Third Amended & Restated LLC Agreement, The Company, as the sole holder of
New Crumbs Class A Voting Units (which are not exchangeable for shares of common stock), has the
right to appoint the entire board of managers of Crumbs. In addition the Third Amended & Restated
LLC Agreement authorized the issuance of an aggregate of 4,541,394 New Crumbs Class B Exchangeable
Units pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, which have limited voting rights. The New
Crumbs Class B Exchangeable Units are exchangeable for share of the Companys common stock on a one
for one basis (subject to certain adjustments
related to organic dilution) at the request from time to time of any holder of such units pursuant
to the terms of an Exchange and Support Agreement between the Members, Crumbs and the Company.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On May 4, 2011, the Companys Tender Offer to purchase up to 1,803,607 shares of its common stock
at a price of $9.98 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon expired with a
total of 1,594,584 shares validly tendered and not withdrawn for a total purchase price of
approximately $15.9 million. Such shares of common stock represented approximately 26.3% of the
Companys issued and outstanding Common Shares as of May 4, 2011. Payment for such tendered shares
was promptly made on May 5, 2011.
On May 5, 2011, the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination
Agreement including the Merger of Crumbs with and into Merger Sub as contemplated by the Business
Combination Agreement, with Crumbs remaining as the surviving entity and non-wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company.
Effective May 5, 2011, 57th Street issued 176,519 shares of Common Stock for expenses
related to the Merger to an aggregate of nine service providers and advisors.
As of May 4, 2011, the Company had
6,062,556 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Following the expiration of the
Companys Tender Offer and upon consummation of the Merger on May 5, 2011, the Company had
4,494,491 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, after giving effect to the Companys:
(i) purchase of 1,594,584 shares of common stock validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to
the Tender Offer; (ii) cancellation of 150,000 shares of common stock forfeited by 57th Street
GAC Holdings, LLC and (iii) issuance of 176,519 shares of common stock in lieu of cash as payment

connection with its IPO, the Merger or Tender Offer. In addition, the Company intends to issue
an aggregate of 370,000 additional shares of common stock upon exchange of the 3,700,000 Insider
Warrants pursuant to the Insider Warrant Exchange Agreement entered into at the closing of the
Merger.
Inasmuch as an aggregate of 1,594,584 shares of common stock were acquired pursuant to the
Companys Tender Offer, the aggregate amount of cash consideration paid pursuant to the Business
Combination Agreement was reduced from $27,000,000 to $22,086,060 and in lieu of such cash
consideration, an additional 491,394 New Crumbs Class B Exchangeable Units and 49,139.4 Series A
Voting Preferred were issued to EHL Holdings LLC, one of the Members, for an aggregate issuance to
the Members of 4,541,394 New Crumbs Class B Exchangeable Units and 454,139.4 Series A Voting
Preferred Stock. The New Crumbs Class B Exchangeable Units are exchangeable for shares of common
stock on a one for one basis (subject to certain adjustments related to organic dilution and
fundamental transactions) at the request from time to time of any holder of such units pursuant to
the terms of the Exchange and Support Agreement (Exchange Agreement). Upon exchange of the New
Crumbs Class B Exchangeable Units in accordance with the Exchange Agreement, an equivalent number
of shares of 57th Street Series A Voting Preferred Stock will be concurrently automatically
redeemed, subject to the availability of lawful funds, for its par value of $0.0001 per share and
become authorized but unissued preferred stock. Except in connection with the exchange of the New
Crumbs Class B Exchangeable Units, the 57th Street Series A Voting Preferred Stock shall not be
redeemable. Except as provided in the Exchange Agreement and the Business Combination Agreement,
the holders of 57th Street Series A Voting Preferred Stock will have no other conversion,
preemptive or other subscription rights with respect to the 57th Street Series A Voting Preferred
Stock and there are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the Series A Voting Preferred Stock.
On May 5, 2011, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement entered into an agreement waiving
certain provisions of the Business Combination Agreement deemed by management not to be material to
the consummation of the Merger, including but not limited to satisfaction of the condition
requiring $14.0 million in full to be available for distribution form the Trust Account to be paid
to Crumbs (as surviving company of the Merger) in respect of a capital contribution, the sum of
$13,724,514 (not including refunds receivable after Closing) having been available after giving
effect to the retention of $53,156 by the Company for future public company expenses and the
payment of $148,753 for the Companys franchise taxes; the satisfaction of the condition relating
to restructuring of certain Crumbs leases; the satisfaction of obtaining certain consents with
respect to certain of Crumbs leases, although Crumbs has undertaken to use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain the same during the period of 30 days after Closing; and the accuracy of certain
representations and warranties contained therein.

others, those concerning our expected financial performance and strategic and operational plans, as
well as all assumptions, expectations, predictions, intentions or beliefs about future events.
These statements are based on the beliefs of our management as well as assumptions made by and
information currently available to us and reflect our current view concerning future events. As
such, they are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our results to differ materially
from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties
include, among many others: the risk that the businesses of Crumbs will not be integrated
successfully; the risk that the anticipated benefits of the business transaction with Crumbs may
not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; the risk that any projections,
including earnings, revenues, expenses, synergies, margins or any other financial items are not
realized, the risk of disruption from the business transaction with Crumbs making it more difficult to
maintain relationships with customers, employees or suppliers; a reduction in industry profit
margin; the inability to continue the development of the Crumbs brand; changing interpretations of
generally accepted accounting principles; continued compliance with government regulations;
changing legislation and regulatory environments; the ability to meet the NASDAQ Stock Market
listing standards, including having the requisite number of round lot holders or stockholders and
meeting the independent director requirements for the board of directors and its committees; a
lower return on investment; the inability to manage rapid growth; requirements or changes affecting
the business in which Crumbs is engaged; the general volatility of the market prices of our
securities and general economic conditions; our ability to successfully implement new strategies;
operating hazards; competition; the loss of key personnel; any of the factors in the Risk Factors
section of our Registration Statement File No. 333-163134; other risks identified in this Report;
and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. You should also carefully review
other reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We assume no obligation and
do not intend to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
Overview
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, together with
the notes to those statements, included elsewhere in this report. Our actual results may differ
materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements because of the risks and
uncertainties inherent in future events.
At March 31, 2011, 57th Street General Acquisition Corp. was a blank check company in the
development stage, formed on October 29, 2009 for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger,
capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, exchangeable share
transaction or other similar business transaction an unidentified operating business or assets. As
set forth above, we consummated our business transaction on May 5, 2011 when our wholly owned
subsidiary merged with and into Crumbs.
-17-
Table of Contents
In consummating the business transaction, we capitalized on the significant strength of our
management team at March 31, 2011. At March 31, 2011, each of our executive officers, directors and
members of our advisory board had over 20 years of experience advising, acquiring, financing and
selling private and public companies in a variety of industries and has prior experience with a
blank check company.
Prior to entering into the Business Combination Agreement, we did not have any specific initial
business transaction under consideration and were actively searching for a target business. Our
management team used the same disciplined approach that it had used in the past in acquiring target
businesses.
At March 31, 2011, we had no revenue, had losses since inception from incurring administrative
costs of government compliance for a public company, had no operations other than the active
solicitation of an acquisition target and relied upon the sale of our securities and loans from our
officers and directors to fund our operations.
At March 31, 2011, we intended to, and subsequently in connection with our business transaction on
May 5, 2011, did use a combination of our cash and capital in effecting such initial business
transaction.
Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events
As of March 31, 2011, we had not engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues. Prior the
consummation of our business transaction on May 5, 2011, our entire activity since inception up to
the closing of our initial public offering had been in preparation of that event, and between the
completion and closing of our initial public offering and our entry in the business combination
agreement with Crumbs, our activity had been limited to evaluating business transaction candidates.
During such period, we had not generated any operating revenues. We generated small amounts of
non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents as of March 31,
2011. We expect to continue to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for
legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence
expenses. We expect our expenses to increase substantially after this period.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we had net (loss) of $1,155,673, expenses of $1,154,869, and
interest earned in the trust fund of $3,652.
Related Party Transactions
Our founding stockholder, 57th Street GAC Holdings, LLC and Mark D. Klein, one of our executive
officers as of March 31, 2011, loaned and advanced to us an aggregate of $15,051 through May 25,
2010, to pay a portion of our expenses related to our initial public offering, such as SEC filing
fees, FINRA filing fees and legal and accounting fees and expenses. The loan was payable without
interest on the earlier of December 31, 2010 or the closing of our initial public offering. We
repaid this loan from the proceeds of our initial public offering that were not placed in the trust account.
As of March 31, 2011, Mark D. Klein, our chairman, chief executive officer and president, and Paul
D. Lapping, our chief financial officer, treasurer, secretary and director, had agreed that they
would be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products
sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a
transaction agreement reduced the amounts in the trust account to below approximately $9.98, except
as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver and except as to any claims under our
indemnity of the underwriters of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver was deemed to be
unenforceable against a third party, Messrs. Klein and Lapping would not be responsible to the
extent of any liability for such third party claims. No such claims were made and the trust account was liquidated on May 5, 2011
in connection with the consummation of our business transaction.

Table of Contents
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2011 we had $234,339 in a bank account which is available for use by management to
cover the costs associated with completing the business combination. Out of the proceeds of our
initial public offering which remained available outside of the trust account, we obtained Officers
and Directors insurance covering a 15 month period from May 19, 2010 through August 19, 2011 at a
cost of $93,265 with a prepaid balance at March 31, 2011 of $28,681.
Our initial public offering provided us with $600,962 of working capital after transferring
$54,476,303 into the trust account. Additionally, the trust fund assets earned interest of $22,099
since inception which is not available for operating activities but may be made available for
payment of taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 we used cash of $158,922 in operating
activities (which was attributable to a net loss for the period of $1,155,673, a decrease in
prepaid expenses of $18,653, net increases in accounts payable and accruals of $974,241 and $158 of
depreciation) resulting in a net decrease in cash of $162,574. Adding the net cash increase of
$396,913 to the cash we started with at January 01, 2011 of $396,913, we ended the period at March
31, 2011 with a cash balance of $234,339.
At March 31, 2011, we intended to, and subsequently on May 5, 2011 in connection with our Tender
Offer (which expired on May 4, 2011) and the consummation of our business transaction, did use substantially all of the funds held in
the trust account (net of taxes), to consummate our initial business transaction.
The $234,339 bank balance as of March 31, 2011 was sufficient to allow us to operate until the
consummation of our business transaction with Crumbs on May 5, 2011. These funds were used for
identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on
prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the property and asset locations of
prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate, title, environmental, financial documents and
material agreements regarding prospective target businesses, audit fees and structuring,
negotiating and consummating the business transaction.
At March 31, 2011, we did not believe we would need to raise additional funds until the
consummation of our initial business transaction to meet the expenditures required for operating
our business. However, we anticipated that we may need to raise additional funds through a private
offering of debt or equity securities if such funds were required to consummate a business
transaction that was presented to us. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we
would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of our initial business
transaction.
We have evaluated the appropriate accounting treatment for the insider warrants and the warrants
attached to the public units. As we are not required to net-cash settle such warrants under any
circumstances, including when we are unable to maintain sufficient registered shares to settle such
warrants, the terms of the warrants satisfy the applicable requirements of FASB ASC 815, which
provides guidance on identifying those contracts that should not be accounted for as derivative
instruments, in accordance with FASB ASC 815. Accordingly, we intend to classify such instruments
within permanent equity as additional paid-in capital.
We believe the purchase price of the insider warrants is greater than the fair value of such
warrants. Therefore, we will not be required to incur a compensation expense in connection with
the purchase by our sponsors of the insider warrants.
On May 5, 2011, in connection with the consummation of our business transaction, we received
working capital of approximately $13.7 million, which should be sufficient for our working capital
needs based on our currently planned operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We do not believe that the adoption of any recently issued accounting standards will have a
material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The net proceeds of our initial public offering, including amounts placed in the trust account, were
invested in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market
funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. Due to the
short-term nature of these investments, we did not believe there would be associated material exposure to
interest rate risk.
