NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Java Detour, Inc. (formerly known as Media USA.com, Inc. and referred to herein as the “Company” or “Java Detour”) operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary JDCO, Inc., a California corporation (“JDCO”). The Company sells high-quality gourmet coffees, whole leaf teas, cold-blended beverages, fresh fruit smoothies and select baked goods to its customers from uniquely designed retail stores specialized in providing fast and convenience customer service. Java Detour Franchise Corp., a California corporation formerly known as Java Detour (“JDCO Subsidiary”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of JDCO, is a franchisor of Java Detour cafés, with nine franchised outlets in the United States. As of March 31, 2009, there were 11 company-owned stores and 9 franchised stores.

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the Company for its year ended December 31, 2008 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for that year, as it may be amended. The results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2008.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company detected an error in the financial statements as of March 31, 2008 and for the three months then ended. To correct the error the Company reversed a gain of $451,141 recognized in January 2008 as a result of the non-cash acquisition of assets from Java Nevada. The Company recognized liabilities totaling $231,321 and reduced the fair value of the acquired assets by $231,609. Accordingly, the Company restated prior period results to reflect the results of this elimination of the gain and loss on the re-acquisition of the Java Nevada assets on the condensed consolidated statement of earnings.
 
Principles of Consolidation

The financial statements reflect the consolidation of JDCO and JDCO Subsidiary, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Java Detour, and all material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the financial information reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net losses from continuing operations for the three months end March 31, 2009 and 2008 of $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and has a working capital deficit of approximately $3.5 million at March 31, 2009. Management’s plans in this regard include seeking new debt and equity financing and seeking new revenue sources through joint operating agreements.

Reclassifications
 
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Concentrations
 
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to cash.

The Company primarily operates its stores in California and generated approximately 97.6% of its revenues in its California store operations in the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Currently, we purchase all coffee beans from Landgrove Coffee Co., a related party under ownership by a brother of the President of the Company.

Revenue Recognition

Initial Franchise Fees
 
Initial franchise fee income is recognized as revenue in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 45, “Accounting for Franchise Fee Revenue.” SFAS 45 requires franchisors to recognize revenue from individual and area franchise sales only when all material services or conditions relating to the sale have been substantially performed or satisfied by the franchisor. In accordance with SFAS 45, the Company recognizes these fees as revenue upon the Company’s material and substantial performance of its obligations under the Franchise Agreement, which usually occurs at the commencement of operations of the individual location, unless it can be demonstrated that substantial performance has occurred before this time. Initial franchise fee income amounted to $0 and $0 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Area Development Fees
 
Area development fee income is recognized in accordance with SFAS 45 on a pro rata basis of the required quota of stores to be opened upon the Company’s material and substantial obligations under its area development agreement which usually occurs upon the Company’s approval of applicants to become franchisees provided by the area developer. Area development fee income amounted to $0 and $0 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Master License Agreement Fees
 
Master license agreement fee income is recognized as revenue in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 45 “Accounting for Franchise Fee Revenue.” SFAS 45 requires franchisors to recognize revenue from individual and area franchise sales only when all material services or conditions relating to the agreement have been substantially performed or satisfied by the franchisor. In accordance with SFAS 45, the Company recognizes these fees as revenue upon the Company’s material and substantial performance of its obligations under the Master License Agreement, which usually occurs at the completion of operations training for the Master Licensee. Master license agreement fee income amounted to $0 and $0 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Royalties
 
Royalty income of 4% of defined net sales is earned based on sales by franchisees and is recognized monthly as revenue when the related sales are reported to the Company. Additionally, the Company may receive a rebate or charge a mark-up for delivered supplies and coffee. Royalty income amounted to $25,190 and $11,627 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Promotional Fund Fees
 
Promotional fund fee income of 1% of defined net sales is earned based on sales by specific franchisees, as determined by their franchise agreements, and is recognized monthly as revenue when the related sales are reported to the Company.   Promotional costs arising from area franchisee stores are charged to advertising and marketing expense during the period incurred.  Promotional fund fee income amounted to $4,397 and $3,876 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Retail Revenues
 
Company-operated retail store revenues are recognized when payment is tendered at the point of sale. Retail revenues amount to $1,219,075 and $1,642,338 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Deferred Revenue
 
Deferred revenue consists of the portion of the initial franchise fees received from franchisees who have not commenced operations, the pro rata portion of the initial fees received from area development fees of which the Company has not approved franchisee applications for the required quota, master license agreement fees of which the Company has not completed its obligations, monthly franchise royalties paid in advance, and the excess, if any, of the 1% weekly promotional fund fees received from franchisees less the related promotional fund expenses incurred by the Company.
 
 
F - 6

 

Stored Value and Gift Cards
 
Revenues from the Company’s stored value cards, such as Java Detour gift cards, are recognized upon redemption. Outstanding customer balances are stated separately as “Stored value and gift card liability” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with the Company’s policies, none of its gift cards carry expiration dates and Java Detour does not charge any service fees that cause a decrement to customer balances.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Earnings Per Share
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.  At March 31, 2009, the Company had 5,604,055 of potential dilutive securities. The Company’s potential dilutive securities included 4,620,000 warrants that are exercisable at between $0.40 and $2.00 per share for the purchase of common stock and 984,055 of stock options that are exercisable between $1.00 and $1.10 a share for the purchase of common stock. At March 31, 2008, the Company had 7,731,165 of potential dilutive securities. The Company’s potential dilutive securities included 4,520,000 warrants that were exercisable at $2.00 a share for the purchase of common stock and 3,211,165 of stock options that are exercisable between $1.00 and $1.10 a share for the purchase of common stock. Due to the net loss, none of the potentially dilutive securities were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share since their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has adopted several recently issued accounting pronouncements. The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

NOTE 2 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable as of March 31, 2009 include balances due from franchisees and other miscellaneous items totaling $20,237, net of $19,406 of allowance for doubtful accounts.

NOTE 5 - SHORT-TERM RELATED PARTY NOTES PAYABLE

In May 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase, Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) with two related parties (“Secured Party”). Each Secured Party acquired a secured promissory note in the amount of $366,666 and 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for $366,666 each for total consideration of $733,333. The secured promissory notes are secured by the assets of three store locations, accrue interest at 24% and are due with interest in January 2009. The Company has recorded $76,667 as deferred financing costs associated with the closing. This amount represents $66,667 paid to an investment banking firm and $10,000 in legal fees associated with the private placement. These amounts will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes.

In July 2008, the Company entered into a third Securities Purchase, Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) with one of the same related parties (“Secured Party”). The Secured Party acquired a secured promissory note in the amount of $366,666 and 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for $366,666, bringing total consideration of these notes to $1,100,000. This third secured promissory note is secured by the assets of the same three store locations, and also accrues interest at 24% and is also due with interest in January 2009. The Company has recorded an additional $33,333 as deferred financing costs associated with the closing, for total deferred financing of $100,000. This amount will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes. The Company has recognized $ 8,264 interest expense related to amortization of the total deferred financing costs for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Company has recognized $46,626 of accrued interest expense related to the terms of the notes for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

The estimated fair value of the shares of common stock of $1,600,000 has been determined using closing market price for the Company’s common shares on the date the agreement closed. The face amount of the secured promissory notes of $1,100,000 was proportionately allocated to the secured promissory notes and the stock in the amount of $466,384 and $634,615, respectively. The $634,615 value allocated proportionately to the shares of common stock has been accounted for as a discount that is being amortized and treated as interest expense over the term of the secured promissory notes under the effective interest method. The Company has recognized interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount of $38,283  for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

On February 24, 2009, effective February 17, 2009, the Company amended the Agreement.  The due date for the Notes was extended from January 15, 2009 to May 17, 2009. As consideration for the extension, the Company agreed to pay $33,333.33 to each Secured Party on or before March 3, 2009. The Company has not made these payments. As additional consideration it did pay $3,396 in legal fees to the Secured Parties’ counsel.  Additionally, the Company issued to two of the Secured Parties five-year warrants to each purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 with a cashless exercise provision. The value of the warrants of $38,433 is being amortized to interest expense over the extended term of the note.

As of March 31, 2010 the balance of these notes is due on demand and each of the three Secured Parties has the right to foreclose.

NOTE 7 - LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Company currently has 21 capital leases. Approximately 76% of the leases have a 60-month term with a $1.00 buyout option after the final payment under the lease. The remaining leases have terms of either 36 or 48 months. Additionally, one of the leases required a 10% balloon payment at the beginning of the lease, and 24% call for a fair market buy out. All leases have either the final month prepaid or a single payment on account as a refundable security deposit. None of the leases have an escalation clause; however annual payments may vary slightly if there are changes to regional sales or property tax rates. The Company has failed to make payments on one of these leases, which has been in default since February 25, 2009.

Capital lease obligations consist of the following:

   
2009
 
Lease for the land of the Red Bluff store site, on which payments, less interest at 10% per annum, are credited toward purchase of the land; expires in 2012 with options to extend by two six-year periods; full ownership would be attained in 2022 under present terms

The Company leases its headquarters and most of its store sites under long-term operating lease agreements expiring in 2009 through 2021. Included in these are 13 operating leases governing 11 of its stores (two for its San Francisco and San Rafael stores each), a 14th lease on an undeveloped site in Los Altos, CA, and three leases for properties it is attempting to sublet in Bakersfield, CA, Henderson, NV and Charlotte, NC. Additional leases exist for the Company’s headquarters and a storage facility in California. The leases initially run for 5, 10 or 15 years and each store have between one and five-year extensions available. Four leases have pre-established rent increase that take effect when each five-year option is exercised, all others have small annual rent increases and allow for renegotiation of the rental amount before options are exercised. The Company does not typically guarantee leases for franchisee locations; however, during 2008 the Company did guarantee one lease pursuant to the agreement. Rent expense under operating leases totaled $259,610 and $235,998 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

DESCRIPTION OF STOCK PLANS

Java Detour, Inc. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan
On November 30, 2006, the Company’s board of directors adopted the Java Detour, Inc. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). Under the 2006 Plan, a total of 4,249,167 common shares will be available for issuance through the grant of a variety of common share-based awards under the plan. Types of awards that may be granted under the 2006 Plan include stock awards, restricted stock awards and non-qualified and incentive stock options. Option vesting terms are determined at the Grant Date, but have generally been set at even increments over four years. In no event may the term exceed ten years. As of March 31, 2009, there were 374,055 outstanding options under the 2006 Plan, all vesting over a period of 4 years, and 3,875,112 shares available for issuance. 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards under SFAS No. 123(R). The Black-Scholes option-pricing model incorporates various and highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility. Because the Company did not have sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of its share price, expected volatility was estimated based on the historical volatility of a comparable company in a similar industry.

Additionally, SFAS No. 123(R) requires the Company to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures at the time of grant and periodically revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The company records stock-based compensation expense for only those awards expected to vest. The following table shows the Company’s assumptions used to compute the stock-based compensation expense and the weighted average grant-date fair value of the stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2009:

The aggregate intrinsic value for stock options outstanding and for stock options exercisable as of March 31, 2009 was $80,349. The intrinsic value for stock options outstanding and exercisable is calculated as the difference between the fair market value at the end of the period and the exercise price of the shares.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
History
 
Java Detour, Inc. (the Company) is a Delaware corporation with its common stock listed on the Pink Sheets and publicly traded under the symbol (JVDT). The Company owns, operates, and franchises Java Detour gourmet retail coffee stores through its wholly owned subsidiaries JDCO, Inc., a California corporation (“JDCO”), and Java Detour Franchise Corp., a California corporation (“JDCO Subsidiary”) a wholly owned subsidiary of JDCO, and franchisor of Java Detour stores. The Company currently holds class 30 and 42 trademarks on its name, Java Detour, and logo domestically as well as a variety of class 30 and 43 registrations in multiple international markets.
 
Java Detour stores specialize in providing fast and convenient customer service and sell high quality gourmet coffees, whole leaf teas, cold blended beverages, fresh fruit smoothies and select food in uniquely designed retail stores. The first Java Detour store opened in California in 1995.  The Company currently has 23 retail stores- 9 company-owned and 14 franchised stores.
 
Java Detour’s business also includes buying, blending and overseeing the roasting of high quality coffee beans. We currently license a third party to perform these functions. We have worked for over 15 years to find the perfect blend of unique coffee beans and the roasting techniques to create some of the best tasting coffees in the world with perfectly balanced acidity, aroma, body and flavor.  Java Detour’s Roast Masters source beans worldwide from the best known coffee growing regions including Yirgacheffe Ethiopia, Sumatra, Brazil, Columbia, and Guatemala.  All Java Detour coffees are micro-batch roasted which is generally accepted as the highest quality roasting technique. Batch roasting captures the distinct characteristics of each coffee growing region to ensure unique and delicious coffee.  Java Detour’s delicious coffees can only be found in Java Detour stores.

After operating privately since 1995, on November 30, 2006, Java Detour, its wholly-owned subsidiary Java Acquisition Co., Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and JDCO entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which JDCO would be acquired by Java Detour in a reverse merger transaction wherein Merger Sub would merge with and into JDCO, with JDCO being the surviving corporation, and the shareholders of JDCO would exchange their shares of JDCO common stock for shares of Java Detour common stock (the “Merger”) on a 2.962 for 1 basis.  On November 30, 2006, the Merger closed and JDCO became a wholly−owned subsidiary of the Company.  The Company changed its name from Media USA.com, Inc. to Java Detour, Inc. and reincorporated in the state of Delaware further to an 8-for-1 exchange ratio. The Company’s executive offices are located at 1550 Bryant St. Suite 725, San Francisco, CA 94103.  The Company telephone number is (415)-241-8020.  The Company also maintains a website at www.javadetour.com
 
As the economic conditions in the United States, particularly in California, has broadened and intensified, many sectors of the economy have been adversely impacted. As a retailer that is dependent upon consumer discretionary spending, we endured an extremely challenging fiscal 2009 year because our customers had less money for discretionary purchases as a result of job losses, foreclosures, bankruptcies, reduced access to credit and sharply falling home prices. The resulting decreases in customer traffic, or average value per transaction, negatively affected our financial performance as reduced revenues.
 

We are reorganizing the Company’s business, including restructuring its balance sheet, reducing costs and implementing a revised strategic plan. These initiatives may include restructuring actions, a business combination or merger with a strategic or financial investor and the divestiture of certain assets and operations.  We cannot predict the form or our reorganization, if we will be successful in our reorganization or if we will achieve profitability in the future.
 
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms, “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Java Detour” as used throughout this Annual Report refer to Java Detour, Inc.
 
Overview
 
In a very competitive industry, we believe Java Detour® stores successfully compete with other coffee retailers by continuing to offer premium coffees and excellent proprietary frozen beverages, fast friendly service, superior convenience, affordable, turn-key franchise opportunities, and distinct and proprietary menu offerings. As a boutique brand preparing for national and international expansion, we believe we have to address our competition with efficient and consistent execution of our core competencies including consistent preparation of excellent quality products, high speed drink preparation, specialized training procedures, and excellent customer service.
 
Java Detour also has significant expansion opportunity and possible competitive advantage with its recently signed Co-Branding and Reciprocal Development Agreements with Mrs. Fields Famous Brands, franchisor of over 1,200 franchised and licensed stores throughout the U.S. and internationally under the names Mrs. Fields Cookies and TCBY Yogurt.  The Java Detour/ Mrs. Fields Famous Brands Reciprocal Development Agreement allows current and future franchisees of Java Detour, Mrs. Fields and TCBY to open franchise stores that promote and sell all three brands in the same location.  The partnership also provides Java Detour the potential to sell its coffee products to existing and future Mrs. Fields and TCBY franchisees.
 
Java Detour, Mrs. Fields and TCBY have begun opening co- and tri-branded stores.  The first tri-brand store opened October 3, 2009, in the main lobby of the Flamingo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.  The second co-branded Java Detour/Mrs. Fields store opened in New York City on December 9, 2009.  Additional multi-branded stores are planned to open in early 2010.

*Company-owned store revenues include the revenues of stores open for less than a year.

Company-Owned Stores
 
Our first Java Detour drive-through gourmet beverage store opened in California in 1995. As of March 31, 2009, we owned and operated 11 corporate stores. We believe that with each new Java Detour store opening, brand awareness and customer loyalty will continue to grow.
 
Strategic Partnership
 
The Company has executed a Co-Branding Agreement and a Reciprocal Development Agreement with Mrs. Fields Famous Brands, LLC, franchisor of over 1,200 Mrs. Fields Cookies and TCBY yogurt stores.  The agreement allows current and future franchisees of Mrs. Fields, TCBY and Java Detour to open franchise stores that promote and sell all three brands in the same location.  The first tri-branded store offering Java Detour coffees, Mrs. Fields cookies and TCBY yogurts opened at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 3, 2009. A second Java Detour/Mrs. Fields store opened on December 9, 2009 at 39th Street and 3rd Avenue in New York, New York.  We cannot predict whether or not we will open any additional stores with Mrs. Fields or TCBY yogurt stores.
 
Franchised Stores
 
The Java Detour® franchise opportunity attracts individuals seeking single store ownership, larger area developments and multi-unit operators interested in co-branding opportunities or brand portfolio expansion. We sold our first franchise Area Development Agreement in Minnesota and Wisconsin in 2000. In September 2006, we sold our first international Area Development Agreement for the rights to franchise Java Detour® stores throughout Ireland with additional options to franchise in the United Kingdom pursuant to a master licensing agreement. Since then, we have also sold development agreement rights to franchisees in Colorado, Kuwait, Dubai, China and other Middle Eastern countries.  The China Area Development Agreement has been terminated.

We evaluate and develop franchising opportunities based upon specific criteria, including demographics, traffic counts, competition, branding and marketing opportunities, and financial considerations. Franchisees must have sufficient financial and operating experience and abilities and their stores must consistently maintain our high brand standards and professional business practices. Franchising also offers challenges, including additional regulatory burdens, sharing of financial rewards with the franchisees and maintaining brand and operating standards in stores that are not operated by our corporate employees. Certain real estate may not fit the profile of a company-owned store location but may be appropriate for a franchised location. Further, certain geographic markets may not be targeted for new company-owned stores in the near future, but may be good markets for immediate franchising. The Company is currently updating its FDD (Franchise Disclosure Document). Until the Company files an updated FDD we cannot sell additional franchises.
 
Pursuant to our franchise agreements, we assist franchisees in areas such as support services, seasonal marketing programs, product sourcing, operations training and basic business consultation. We are required to provide our franchisees with an operation manual, site selection support, proprietary products and supplies, and guidelines for store build out requirements.  We have established an intensive in-house training program for our franchisees which includes two weeks of hands-on in store training on operations, coffee knowledge, merchandising, buying, inventory controls and accounting procedures. We work closely with franchisees on store operations; we also monitor franchise customer feedback on product quality and customer service to ensure that franchisees maintain our high brand standards.
 
Growth Strategy
 
Our business objective is to establish the Java Detour® brand as a successful nationally and internationally recognized retail and wholesale gourmet coffee concept. We plan continued strategic expansion of our retail operations while simultaneously working to create other outlets and distribution points for sales of our freshly roasted whole bean coffees and other related proprietary products.
 
The Company has significant growth opportunities that we intend to pursue by implementing the following strategies:
 
Accelerate franchise store openings. The Company intends to accelerate new franchise store openings, focusing on the multi-branded store concept with Mrs. Fields and TCBY yogurt.  The tri-branded store concept (Java Detour, Mrs. Fields and TCBY) offers complimentary products that drive sales from early morning to late evening. The Company plans to open tri-branded stores both domestically and internationally.
 
Implement our improved site selection process. Substantial management resources have been devoted to improving our site selection process. New franchise store openings will primarily target markets where there is currently either Java Detour, Mrs. Fields or TCBY stores already open to capitalize on existing market share and support resources.  Further, we will only target new markets where customers will welcome and routinely purchase from the co and tri-branded stores. Additionally, our site selection strategy will target high-traffic urban and suburban locations with a new emphasis on non-traditional captured audience locations such as casinos, hotels, airports, sports arenas and college campuses.  We will target franchise growth on existing Mrs. Fields and TCBY stores where the existing franchisee can add Java Detour to their current operation.
 
Drive comparable store sales growth by executing on our fundamental core competencies. We intend to drive comparable store sales and average unit sales volumes by focusing on our core competencies of excellent products, excellent customer service and fast drink preparations.  In addition, the Company will continue to add new products both seasonally and permanently, possibly including Mrs. Fields and TCBY products to create a competitive advantage and also to increase average transaction rates. Over the past year, the Company implemented a set of core improvements to our retail operations.
 
Leverage the Mrs. Fields partnership and our existing infrastructure to drive margin improvement. We believe that new economies of scale resulting from the Mrs. Fields agreements will allow our stores to show better operating margins, infrastructure and operating cost improvements, as well as reduced management and administrative infrastructure, production costs, and franchise support costs.
 
Expand our wholesale coffee business. We intend to expand our geographic reach and wholesale coffee beans sales. We also plan to sell Java Detour premium coffees to other wholesale accounts such as casinos and hotels.
 
Expand international franchise operations and opportunities. Our international growth strategy emphasizes franchising, joint ventures and licensing relationships with companies situated in promising foreign markets.  To further expand the Java Detour brand, the Company will also increase its international franchise operations. Java Detour currently has in place Area Development Agreements in Ireland, Kuwait and Dubai. These two franchisees may, under their contract, open up to 18 stores in the next 3 years.
 
Target regional and national acquisitions of existing cafes and small coffee chains. The company will also pursue acquisitions of single owner operator cafes and also small chains of coffee shops that are profitable and well located.

Marketing
 
We believe that consumer interest in our segment and industry continues to increase, and incremental sales occur, when customers are informed about new Java Detour products, special offers, and the premium quality of our products. Accordingly, our strategies include advertising and marketing at the point-of-sale at our stores and outside of our stores. We have developed a successful strategy of using product photos and well designed point of sales pieces to help direct customers into the most profitable drinks and into purchasing drinks that can only be purchased at Java Detour® stores.
 
We employ targeted marketing strategies to increase brand awareness and encourage trial and repeat purchases by educating potential customers about the distinctive qualities of Java Detour® products. Our marketing efforts also promote repeat business by reinforcing positive experiences with our fast and friendly service. We rely on a mixture of marketing efforts that are tailored to the specific needs of particular markets or retail stores, including:
 
 
·
point-of-purchase marketing, which encourages existing customers to try new products or services;
 
·
direct marketing, which includes mailings and email distributions which are cost-effective methods to reach new customers and encourage repeat visits from existing customers;
 
·
promotions and local retail store marketing, which allow us to alert customers to new products, seasonal merchandise and coupon programs; and
 
·
print advertising, which includes advertising in newspapers and other publications to attract new customers within a particular market.

In addition, we receive free marketing through word-of-mouth communication from our current customers who tell their friends and colleagues about their enjoyable Java Detour® experiences, our quality products and our fast service.
 
Competition
 
The retail segment of the gourmet coffee industry remains highly fragmented and, with the exception of a small number of national competitors, contains few companies with strong brand loyalty or a substantial national presence. In addition to Starbucks, our primary competitors in whole bean gourmet coffee sales are primarily regional or local market coffeehouses, such as Peet’s Coffee and Tea, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf in the California market. As we continue to expand geographically, we expect to encounter additional regional and local competitors including McDonalds and Dunkin Donuts.
 
Premium coffee brands may serve as substitutes for our whole bean coffee and we also compete indirectly against all other coffee brands on the market.  In addition to competing with other distributors of whole bean coffee, we compete with retailers of prepared beverages, including other coffeehouse chains, numerous convenience stores, restaurants, coffee shops and street vendors.
 
Despite competing in a fragmented market, consumer demand has continued to rise and, as a result, gourmet coffee brands continue to develop across multiple distribution channels. Several competitors are aggressive in obtaining distribution in specialty grocery and gourmet food stores, and in office, restaurant and food service locations.
 
We believe that our customers choose among gourmet coffee brands based upon the quality and variety of the coffee and other products, atmosphere, convenience, customer service and, to a lesser extent, price. We believe that our market share in the gourmet coffee market is based on a differentiated position built on our specific proprietary menu offerings, superior quality, convenience and consistently fast customer service.
 
Coffee Beans
 
Our whole coffee beans come from various coffee-producing regions around the world. We purchase our coffee beans from a roaster who is directly responsible for selecting the supplier, purchasing, roasting, packaging and distributing coffee beans directly to our Java Detour® stores. While we typically do not enter into exclusive supply contracts to purchase coffee beans, we do enter oral agreements committing to purchase up to 80,000 pounds of whole bean coffee at fixed pricing several times per year. Currently, we purchase all of our coffee beans from Landgrove Coffee Co., a company co-owned by Jon Binninger, a brother of both Michael (current President and Chief Operating officer) and Steven Binninger (a Director).  Michael and Steven Binninger are both acting Board members.
 
Dairy Products
 
We obtain our dairy products from regional dairy suppliers. In our established markets, we generally have arrangements with a dairy supplier under which we purchase products for fixed prices based upon the commodity price plus a percentage.
 
 
6

 
 
Other Non-Coffee Products

We obtain the majority of our other non-coffee products, including specialty teas, paper and plastic goods and food items, from regional or national vendors such as Sysco Foods Inc.

Government Regulation
 
Each of our retail locations and our roaster’s facility is and will be subject to licensing and reporting requirements by a number of governmental authorities. These governmental authorities include federal, state and local health, environmental, labor relations, sanitation, building, zoning, fire, safety and other departments that have jurisdiction over the development and operation of these locations. Our activities are also subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act and related regulations, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability in public accommodations and employment. Changes in any of these laws or regulations could have a material adverse affect on our operations, sales, and profitability. Delays or failures in obtaining or maintaining required construction and operating licenses, permits or approvals could delay or prevent the opening of new retail locations, or could materially and adversely affect the operation of existing retail locations. In addition, we may not be able to obtain necessary variances or amendments to required licenses, permits or other approvals on a cost-effective or timely basis in order to construct and develop store locations in the future.
 
We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with all such laws and regulations and that we have obtained all material licenses that are required for the operation of the business. We are not aware of any environmental regulations that have or that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our operations. The Company is currently updating its FDD (Franchise Disclosure Document). Until the Company files an updated FDD we cannot sell additional franchises.
 
Intellectual Property
 
Intellectual property and other proprietary rights are considered an important part of our success. We place high value on our Java Detour® trade name, and we own several trademarks and service marks that have been registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, including Java Detour®, “Cold Rush,” “Feel the Cold Rush,” and “Changing the way America buys Coffee.”
 
The company holds class 30 and 42 trademarks on its name, Java Detour, and logo domestically as well as a variety of class 30 and 43 registrations in 20 international markets.
 
In addition to registered and pending trademarks, we consider the packaging for our gourmet coffee beans and the ergonomic design of our stores to be strong identifiers of our brand. Although we consider our packaging and store design to be essential to our brand identity, we have not applied to register these trademarks and trade dress, and thus cannot rely on the legal protections afforded by trademark registration, although we have substantial protection under the existing family of marks that we have registered.
 
Our ability to differentiate our brand from those of our competitors depends, in part, on the strength and enforcement of our trademarks. We must constantly protect against any infringement by competitors. If a competitor infringes on our trademark rights, we may have to litigate to protect our rights, in which case, we may incur significant expenses and divert significant attention from our business operations.
 
Employees
 
As of February 28, 2010, we employed 85 employees, 34 of whom are employed full-time. Our retail stores employed 77 of our employees with the remainder in our corporate offices, and store and franchise development and operations. None of our employees are represented by a labor union and management believes our relations with employees are good.
 
Seasonality
 
Historically, sales in the gourmet coffee industry has experienced variations in sales from quarter-to-quarter due to the temperature changes in specific geographic areas , as well as from a variety of other factors including, but not limited to, general economic trends, the cost of green coffee, competition, marketing programs, weather and special or unusual events.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008

Sales and other operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were approximately $1.2 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 24.6%, from sales and other operating revenues earned of approximately $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The primary reason for the decrease was the sale and closure of company owned stores.

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was approximately $0.4 million, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 17.8 %, from approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The primary reason for the decrease was that fewer goods were required to support reduced sales.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was approximately $0.8 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 27.7%, from $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Our gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was 66.6% as compared with 69.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to increasing cost of sales.

Store expenses were approximately $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 32.2%, from approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The primary reason for the decrease was the sale of company owned stores.

Selling and general administrative expenses were approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of approximately $0.5 million, or 53.2 %, from approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to decreased salaries and benefits of approximately $0.2 million, decreased stock based compensation expense of $0.1 million, decreased legal fees of approximately $0.1 million and decreased other general administrative expenses of approximately $0.1 million.

Interest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was approximately $270,000, an increase of $200,000 or 285.7%, from approximately $70,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase was primarily due to $122,000 in fees to extend terms of existing debt, and $78,000 interest on new debt.

Other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was approximately $485,000, an increase of $449,000, or 1,247.2%, from approximately $36,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase was primarily due to loss on disposal of assets of approximately $591,000, partially offset by approximately $140,000 in gain from forgiveness of accrued expenses.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was approximately $1.2 million, approximately no change from the three months ended March 31, 2008 for the reasons stated above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2009, we had negative total equity of approximately $503,000 and had total cash and cash equivalents of approximately $116,000.

We will need to raise additional capital in the future to fund our working capital needs and to continue and expand our business. We may also require additional capital to make acquisitions of stores and complementary businesses.  We had negative working capital of approximately $3.5 million at March 31, 2009.  Further, our secured creditors hold a security interest in substantially all of our assets.  We are engaged in discussions with our secured and unsecured creditors to design a voluntary recapitalization plan. The goal is to continue operations and ultimately include an opportunity for our unsecured creditors to receive some tangible consideration in settlement of their claims.
 
We have incurred net losses since our inception. Our net losses were $1.2 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We will incur losses in 2009 and we cannot assure investors that we will be profitable in future periods. We cannot predict whether we will become profitable in future periods and, even if we become profitable, we may not be able to sustain profitability.
 
We are reorganizing the Company’s business, including restructuring its balance sheet, reducing costs and implementing a revised strategic plan. These initiatives may include restructuring actions, a business combination or merger with a strategic or financial investor and the divestiture of certain assets and operations. We cannot predict the form or our reorganization, if we will be successful in our reorganization or if we will achieve profitability in the future.
 
As of March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, zero and one of the Company’s creditors have default judgments against the Company for $0 and $8,337, respectively. This judgment has been accrued by the Company in accounts payable in the financial statements.
 
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was approximately $0.2 million, as compared to approximately $0.2 million used during the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to net cash used of approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in cash used was primarily a result of decreased capital asset acquisitions of approximately $0.1 million.

Net cash used by financing activities was approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to cash used in the amount of approximately $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The change was primarily due to additional payments of principle toward notes payable.

Our capital requirements, including development costs related to the opening of additional retail locations and expansion of our franchise retail operations, have been, and will continue to be significant. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including the pace of our expansion, real estate markets, the availability of suitable site locations and the nature of the arrangements negotiated with landlords. We are working to finish updating our FDD so we can resume selling franchises, both domestically and internationally, and larger area development agreements. We closed one underperforming store domestically and continued our efforts to increase same store sales.  In addition to the above, we have and continue to find areas to aggressively cut costs at both the corporate and store levels. We continue discussions for the possibility of future capital raises and other strategic opportunities.

Significant Events – Company Owned Stores and Lease Agreements

During the three months ended March 31, 2009 the Company expensed $591,819 to dispose of all assets related to its store on Tropicana Ave. in Las Vegas, NV. This store was closed in May, 2008. The Company had attempted to sell or rent these assets, but no longer believes these assets will generate any future cash flows. On July 23, 2009 the Company entered a consent agreement with the landlord of this location whereby the Company committed to issuing said landlord 173,136 shares of its common stock in consideration for unpaid lease payments of $103,882 and termination of the lease. As of March 31, 2010 these shares had not been issued.

On May 6, 2009 the Company closed its store located on 1501 West Charleston Blvd. in Las Vegas, NV and recognized a loss on disposal of assets of $113,851. The landlord has filed suit against the Company for unpaid rent.

On June 3, 2009 the Company, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, sold its assets located at 1814 24th St. in Bakersfield, CA to the landlord of the assets’ location in exchange for a mutual termination of the operating lease, which was in default at the time, and also received a full release of liability from unpaid rental amounts incurred during 2009.

As of December 15, 2009 the Company is in default of two long term obligations (see Note 6), one of its capital lease obligations (see Note 7), and all of its operating leases, (see Item 2).

Significant Events – Capital Transactions

On February 24, 2009, effective February 17, 2009, the Company amended a Securities Purchase, Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) with two related parties (“Secured Party”). The due date for the Notes was extended from January 15, 2009 to May 17, 2009. As consideration for the extension, the Company agreed to pay $33,333.33 to each Secured Party on or before March 3, 2009. The Company has not made these payments. As additional consideration it did pay $3,396 in legal fees to the Secured Parties’ counsel.  Additionally, the Company issued to two of the Secured Parties five-year warrants to each purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 with a cashless exercise provision.

As of December 15, 2009 the balance of these notes is due on demand and each of the three Secured Parties has the right to foreclose.

From July, 2009 through January, 2010, the Company sold to accredited investors $312,402 of convertible notes.  The convertible notes bear interest at 6% per annum with interest payable each quarter.  The notes can be converted into the Company’s common stock at $0.025 per share.

The convertible notes were issued to accredited investors pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated pursuant thereto. No general solicitation or advertising was used to market the convertible notes.  All funds raised from the sale of the convertible notes was used to fund our operations.

From April, 2009 through September, 2009 the Company collected installments totaling $30,000 from a related party investor in consideration for stock to be issued. In April, 2010 the Company issued 1,200,000 shares at $0.025 to satisfy this obligation.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company issued, in exchange for advisory services, 500,000 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at $0.05 per share.  The warrants were issued to accredited investors pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated pursuant thereto.

On February 8, 2010 entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which a lender will advance up to $500,000 under a Secured Multiple Advance Promissory Note.  The Note shall bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum and shall mature on May 31. 2010.  As part of the Financing, the Company also issued to the Lender warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share.

On March 12, 2010 the Company restated the exercise price of 2,000,000 warrants owned by Java Finance, LLC to $0.0275. The warrants’ expiration date is unaffected.

Critical Accounting Policies Used in Financial Statements

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. We believe the following are the critical accounting policies that impact the financial statements, some of which are based on management’s best estimates available at the time of preparation. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Intangible Assets - In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company evaluates intangible assets and other long-lived assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows.  Recoverability of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. As we assess the ongoing expected cash flows and carrying amounts of our long-lived assets, these factors could cause us to realize material impairment losses.  Property, plant and equipment assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows when assessing impairment, cash flows for retail assets are identified at the individual store level, and long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and an impairment loss is recorded as a charge against current operations. No impairment was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
 
Stock Based Compensation - We adopted SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”), under the modified-prospective transition method on January 1, 2006.  SFAS No. 123R requires companies to measure and recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value. Share-based compensation recognized under the modified-prospective transition method of SFAS No. 123R includes share-based compensation based on the grant-date fair value determined in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, for all share-based payments granted prior to and not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 and share-based compensation based on the grant-date fair-value determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for the award of these instruments under the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and allowed under the original provisions of SFAS No. 123.  Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, we would have accounted for our stock option plans using the intrinsic value method in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their stock options before exercising them (“expected term”), the estimated volatility of our common stock price over the expected term and the number of options that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements (“forfeitures”). Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized on the consolidated statements of earnings.
 
Revenue Recognition –Net revenue is recognized at the point of sale at our Company-operated retail stores. Royalty revenue from franchisees is recognized during the month the franchisees completed the sales generating that royalty. Revenue for franchise units and area agreements are recognized based on the terms of agreement, typically upon either the opening of a store or the completion of franchisee training. Revenue from stored value cards is recognized upon redemption or receipt of product by the customer. Cash received in advance of product delivery is recorded in gift card liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Item 4.
 
Controls and Procedures.
 
(a) As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2009.
 
(b) There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting

The Company entered into a stipulated judgment with the plaintiff in 2009. The Company is in default of the stipulated judgment.

Since December 31, 2008, four of the Company’s landlords had filed suit against the company for unpaid rent amounts. As of February 28, 2010 two of these claims had been dismissed or resolved and two are pending resolution. Their combined claim amount is $58,499.
 
The Company is party to various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business and for collection of past due payables, but it is not currently a party to any legal proceeding that management believes would have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position.
