NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
 

NOTE 1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  However, the Company has substantial debt obligations, limited liquidity, and negative working capital.  The Company has also not made certain interest and financing payments (see Note 12 below).  These factors raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Subsequent to quarter end, the Company engaged the services of a third-party financial consultant to advise and assist the Company in developing and executing a plan to restructure the Company’s capitalization and existing indebtedness.  The accompanying condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information, the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2010 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  Management believes that although the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K filed with Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2010.

In June 2010, the shareholders approved an increase in the authorized number of common stock to 400,000,000 from the 300,000,000 shares previously authorized.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates, judgments 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 periods.  Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying condensed financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation

NOTE 5.    INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets include loan costs of $3,250,479, net of amortization of $1,538,277, or $1,712,202.  The loan costs related to the promissory note debt are being amortized over the life of the loan; sixty-six months, five years or eight years.  The loan costs related to the 2008 factoring fee and the 2010 refinance of the equipment loan are being amortized over the three year contract term. Amortization expense for these loans costs for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $72,534 and $60,709, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 amortization expense was $216,071 and $114,579, respectively.

In 2005, the Company entered into a five-year contract to be the primary liquid coffee provider for a group purchasing organization owned by a large contract foodservice operator.  In connection with that contract, the Company agreed to pay the group purchasing organization a $900,000 conversion fee that is being amortized based on the quantity of product sold over the term of the contract.  The agreement was modified in April 2007 to include iced dispensed products and extended the terms of the agreement through 2012.  Therefore, the remaining conversion fee is being amortized through the end of the amended contract. The Company recorded an amortization expense for the conversion fee for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 of $31,509 and $45,939, respectively.  The amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $101,814 and $118,287, respectively.    The conversion fee net of the $504,992 accumulated amortization is reported on the balance sheet as part of the Company’s intangible assets.

In 2008, the Company entered into one year exclusivity period contracts with three regional convenience store chains.  The Company paid for the installation of 1,050 machines at a cost of $183,718.  The installation costs were fully amortized in 2009. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the amortization expense for these installation costs was $1,868 and $80,065, respectively.

NOTE  7.    LONG-TERM DEBT AND CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS (Continued)

Senior Subordinated (Unsecured) Promissory Notes

From late December 2008 to April 2009, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with certain accredited investors for the sale of an aggregate of $22.5 million in principal of senior subordinated promissory notes and an aggregate of 102.5 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock.   With the exception of the private equity firm, discussed below, all other investors received a promissory note in the amount of their investment plus five shares of restricted common stock per dollar invested.  The Company relied on exemption from registration pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 for the issuance of restricted common stock in connection with its debt offering.

Of the $22.5 million invested in senior subordinated unsecured promissory notes, $12.0 million was received from a private equity firm. The private equity firm investor received an eight year promissory note for $12.0 million and 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock in accordance with its securities purchase agreement. In connection with the private debt offering, the Company also entered into a professional services agreement with the private equity firm.  Pursuant to the services agreement, the Company engaged the private equity firm to provide financial and management consulting services to the Company and paid $500,000 for consulting services provided by it to the Company prior to the closing of the funding.  Under the services agreement, in consideration of the consulting services to be provided by the private equity firm during the term of the agreement, the Company agreed to pay the private equity firm an annual management fee of $100,000, which is payable quarterly.  The Services Agreement terminates by its terms on March 31, 2014.  The Company has capitalized the $500,000 consulting service fee as an intangible asset and will amortize it over the period of the loan.   As of September 30, 2010, the $25 thousand due July 1, 2010 had not been paid. The annual management fee will be expensed over the related period of the services.

In connection with the private equity investment of $12.0 million in this private debt offering, the Company recorded a debt discount of $6,071,340 on the promissory note which is being amortized as additional interest over the period of the note.   The discount was determined using the relative fair value of the promissory note and the restricted common stock issued in connection with the debt offering.   The effective interest rate including the discount amortization is approximately 13.03%%.

In connection with the other $10.5 million investment in this private debt offering, the Company determined that the best accounting treatment of the 52.5 million shares of stock issued was to use the relative fair value method to calculate the discounted fair value of the debt and amortize the discount over the life of the debt on an effective interest basis.  The Company issued $10.5 million in notes payable and recorded a debt discount of $4,776,256 which is being amortized as an additional non-cash interest expense over the eight-year period of the promissory notes at an effective compound interest rate of approximately 12.39%%.

In connection with the $4 million investment, the Company determined that the best accounting treatment of the 15.0 million shares of stock issued was to use the relative fair value method to calculate the discounted fair value of the debt and amortize the discount over the life of the debt on an effective interest basis.  The Company issued $4 million in notes payable and recorded a debt discount of $1,611,940 which is being amortized as an additional non-cash interest expense over the 66 month period of the promissory notes at an effective compound interest rate of approximately 19.22%

In April 2010, this commitment was used to fund the interest due to the private equity firm.  The private equity firm investor received sixty-one month promissory notes for a total of $295,890 and 1,109,589 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock in accordance with its securities purchase agreement.

In connection with the $295,890 investment, the Company determined that the best accounting treatment of the 1,109,589 shares of stock issued was to use the relative fair value method to calculate the discounted fair value of the debt and amortize the discount over the life of the debt on an effective interest basis.  The Company issued $295,890 in notes payable and recorded a debt discount of $112,616 which is being amortized as an additional non-cash interest expense over the 61 month period of the promissory notes at an effective compound interest rate of approximately 20.48%

COMMON STOCK ISSUANCES

In June 2009, as part of a periodic review of executive and key employee compensation and retention, the Company cancelled the options issued in 2007 and issued 5,000,000 shares of forfeitable restricted common stock as a modification of the previous awards.  The Company determined that the relative fair value of the options immediately before they were terminated was $815,500 and was less than the relative fair value of the newly issued shares   of $1,350,000.  Therefore, the unamortized value of the original award is being amortized over the vesting period of the new award.

In October 2010, the Company issued 1,134,235 shares of common stock and promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $302,463 to Coffee Holdings, LLC.  The promissory note interest rate is 12% and is due in a balloon payment of principal and interest in fifty-five months or April 2015.  The loan was the third advance on the $3.5 million commitment from Coffee Holdings, LLC.  The loan proceeds were used to pay the quarterly interest due on October 1, 2010 on the $12 million promissory note due to the same investor.

On October 27, 2010, the Company announced that due to liquidity constraints, the Company has not paid interest payments that were due on October 1, 2010, in the aggregate amount of $264,658 pursuant to the Company’s Unsecured Senior Subordinated Promissory Notes that mature in 2017 in the aggregate principal amount of $10.5 million (the “Notes”).  Such non-payment does not constitute an event of default or result in acceleration of principal under the terms of the Notes.  Despite recent improvements in its operating cash flow, the Company believes that its current and near-term liquidity will not allow it to make such interest payments out of its operating cash flows and that the payment terms would need to be restructured in some fashion.  Additionally, the Company has been unable to make timely payments to certain of its trade vendors.  Accordingly, the Company’s board of directors has engaged a third-party financial consultant to advise and assist the Company in developing and executing a plan to restructure the Company’s capitalization and existing indebtedness.  See Form 8K filed on October 27, 2010.

STRATEGIC INITIATIVES

In June, 2010, the management of the Company initiated a strategic review of its business with the goal of improving performance and cash flow.  Preliminarily, management has begun executing four strategic initiatives.

 
1. 
Redeployment of currently owned dispensers from low productivity (cases per month) to higher productivity customer locations, thereby, growing revenue without the need to purchase new beverage dispensers.

 
2. 
Enhancement of the Company’s distribution network, which currently relies on broadline food service and convenience store distributors, with specialty distributors who have high value customers looking for an on-demand solution.  Typically, this class of distributors own and service their own dispensers;

 
3. 
Increase focus on non-dispensed revenue opportunities.  By focusing sales resources on customers that prefer to own their own equipment or who can purchase packaged coffee and tea syrups, the Company can create revenue growth without using capital to purchase beverage dispensers.

 
4. 
Reduction, where possible, of selling, general and administrative expenses associated with maintaining and growing the Company’s beverage business with existing customers.

GROSS SALES

In the third quarter of 2010, the Company achieved gross sales (revenue) of $7.3 million, an increase of $810 thousand, or 12.4% growth, over the same period in 2009.  The Company’s 2010 third quarter gross sales for hot and iced dispensed products were $6.9 million, an increase of 14.1% over dispensed product sales of $6.0 million in the same period of 2009.  The Company’s non-dispensed gross sales for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $416 thousand compared to $457 thousand for the same period the prior year, a decrease of 8.9% from the same period in 2009.

The Company will see continued seasonality in its quarterly gross sales as iced coffee sales are higher in the second and third quarters and hot coffee sales are higher in the first and fourth quarters of the year.

MARKETING ALLOWANCES, DISCOUNTS AND RETURNS

In the third quarter 2010, the Company’s marketing allowances, discounts and returns were $1.5 million, an increase of $65,000 versus the same period in the prior year.  Marketing allowances included non-cash conversion fee amortization of $31,500 and $45,939 for the three months ended September 31, 2010, and 2009 respectively.  This increase reflects the Company's higher sales to national account and chain customers which earn higher negotiated pricing adjustments for products the Company sells into these networks.

NET SALES

In the third quarter of 2010, the Company’s net sales increased to $5.9 million, up $744 thousand over the same period in 2009.  The increase was the results of increased gross sales of $810 thousand offset by increased marketing allowances.

GROSS PROFIT MARGIN

The Company’s gross profit was $2.64 million and gross profit margin was 45.0% of net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to 44.4% of net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The improvement in gross margin was due to September 2010 price increases of 3-6% offset in part by increased cost of goods for coffee beans, sugar and certain packaging materials and increased expense for removal, refurbishment, shipping and re-installation of dispensers from low through-put locations to more productive locations.

SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES

Selling and marketing expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, were $773 thousand compared to $1.2 million in the same quarter in 2009.  The reduction was the result of an initiative by the Company to improve efficiency of its selling efforts by eliminating certain practices and by negotiating reduced costs in many operating areas. More specifically, the decrease of $383 thousand or 33.2% was attributable to a reduction of $217 thousand for payroll and benefits, decreased travel and entertainment expenses of $99 thousand, decreased expenditures for tradeshow expenses, printing costs and sales supplies of $44 thousand, and a decrease in variable marketing and promotion expenses of $23 thousand.  Selling and marketing expenses in the quarter ending September 30, 2010 have declined as a percentage of net sales to 13.2% from 22.7% in the same quarter last year or a 9.5% improvement.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 were $2.1 million compared to $2.4 million in the same quarter in 2009. The decrease of $267 thousand or 11.1% was due to a decrease in salary, benefits and stock vesting and issuances of $289 thousand,  a decrease in overhead costs of $47 thousand and an increase in depreciation expense of $69 thousand.

General and administrative expense for the third quarter of 2010 included non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of $883 thousand and $46 thousand in non-cash amortization of deferred stock compensation.  The comparative non-cash expenses recorded in the third quarter of 2009 were $815 thousand and $223 thousand, respectively.

LOSS FROM OPERATIONS

The loss from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $279 thousand compared to $1.3 million in the same quarter in 2009 an improvement of $1 million.  The reduction of $1 million was due to an increase in net sales of $370 thousand and a decrease in operating expenses of $651 thousand as discussed above.  The 2010 3rd quarter loss from operations of $279 thousand included non-cash stock expense of $46 thousand and non-cash depreciation of $883 thousand and non cash conversion fee amortization expense of $32 thousand for a total of non-cash charges of $961 thousand.  The loss from operations for the same quarter in 2009 of $1.3 million included similar non-cash charges totaling $1.1 million.

OTHER INCOME/EXPENSES

The Company recorded $1.5 million in net other expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to $1.2 million in net other expense for the same quarter in 2009. The increase in other expense of $297 thousand was primarily due to the increase in interest expense of $289 thousand a result of debt refinancing in 2009.

NET LOSS

The net loss for the Company for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $1.8 million compared to a net loss of $2.5 million for the same quarter in 2009, a difference of $724 thousand. The difference is primarily due to an increase in gross profit of $371 thousand, and a decrease in operating expenses of $651 thousand, offset by an increase in interest expense of $289 thousand.

GROSS SALES

In the first nine months of 2010, the Company achieved gross sales (revenue) of $19.6 million, an increase of $1.4 million, or 7.4% growth, over the same period in 2009.  The Company’s 2010 gross sales for hot and iced dispensed products were $18.3 million, an increase of 9.4% over dispensed sales of $16.7 million in the same period of 2009.  This increase was primarily the result of an increase in through-put, defined as revenue cases per month per location, of both its owned and non-owned customer locations.  The Company’s non-dispensed product gross sales for the nine months ending September 30, 2010 were $1.2 million compared to $1.4 million in the same period prior year, a decrease of 14.5% from the same period in 2009.

MARKETING ALLOWANCES, DISCOUNTS AND RETURNS

In the first nine months of 2010, the Company’s marketing allowances, discounts and returns were $3.8 million, an increase of $618 thousand versus the same period in the prior year.  Marketing allowances included non-cash conversion fee amortization of $101 thousand and $118 thousand for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Marketing allowances represented 19.6% of gross sales in the first nine months of 2010 versus 17.7% for the same nine months in 2009.  This increase reflects the Company's higher sales to national account and chain customers which earn higher negotiated pricing adjustments when the Company sells its products into these networks.

NET SALES

In the third quarter of 2010, the Company’s net sales increased to $15.8 million or $741 thousand over the $15.1 million in the same period for 2009.  The increase was the results of increased gross sales of $1.4 million offset by increased marketing allowances of $618 thousand.

GROSS PROFIT MARGIN

The Company’s gross profit was $6.6 million and gross profit margin was 41.9% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 43.8% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The decline in gross margin was due to increased cost of goods for coffee beans, sugar and certain packaging materials and increased expense related to removal, refurbishment, shipping and re-installation of dispensers from low through-put locations to higher productivity locations.

SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES

Selling and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, were $2.5 million compared to $3.6 million in the same quarter in 2009.  The decrease of $1.1 million or 30.8% was attributable to a decrease of $604 thousand for payroll and benefits, decreased expenditures for tradeshows, printing costs and sales supplies of $233 thousand and decreased travel and entertainment expenses of $293 thousand offset by an increase in variable marketing and promotion expenses of $26 thousand.  Selling and marketing expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 have declined as a percentage of net sales to 15.7% from 23.9% in the same nine months last year or an 8.2 percentage point improvement.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $7.7 million compared to $7.0 million in the same nine months in 2009. The increase was primarily due to one time expenses of $716 thousand recorded in connection with the severance agreement with our former CEO.

General and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 included non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of $2.6 million, non-cash compensation expense related stock issuances of $526 thousand, and amortization of previously paid retention bonuses of $250 thousand.

The general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 included one-time severance expenses for the departure of our CEO which is comprised of: $373 thousand in payroll and benefits costs payable through May 2011, $315 thousand for the write-off of unamortized non-cash deferred compensation due to vesting of shares and $27 thousand in non-cash stock issuance expense.

LOSS FROM OPERATIONS

The loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $3.6 million compared to $4 million for the same period in 2009.  The $415 thousand reduction in loss from operations was primarily the result of decreases in selling and marketing expense.  The 2010 nine month loss from operations included non-cash expenses of $3.5 million.  The similar non-cash expenses included in the loss from operations for the same nine months of 2009 were $3.3 million.
  
OTHER INCOME/EXPENSES

The Company recorded $4.4 million in net other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $6.4 million in net other expense for the same nine months in 2009. The decrease in other expense of $2.0 million was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense of $3.3 million, and a decrease of $1.3 million in other income both the result of restructuring of debt in 2009.

NET LOSS

The net loss for the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $8.0 million compared to a net loss of $10.4 million for the same nine months in 2009, a difference of $2.4 million. The difference is primarily due to a decrease of $3.3 million in interest expense and a decrease of $1.3 million in other income both the result of 2009 debt refinancing and severance expenses for our former CEO of $716 thousand.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company products are dispensed in locations such as 7-Eleven, Compass/Foodbuy, Med Assets Supply Chain Systems, Consorta, Amerinet, Premier Healthcare and multiple other leading convenience stores, hotel, hospital, health care, and casino customers.

The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception through September 30, 2010; it has an accumulated deficit of $88.4 million and has consumed cash from operations and financing in excess of $40.8 million.  It has financed operations since inception primarily through capital contributions, related-party loans, private-placements of its Common Stock, debt offerings and net sales.

The Company’s third quarter 2010 operating results showed improvement in gross sales, net sales, reduced selling and marketing expenses and reduced net loss. Despite this, the Company has limited cash and cash equivalent assets, its current liabilities exceed its current assets and it has significant debt service obligations. The Company is delaying cash payments to certain of its vendors and debt holders to insure that its sales and operations continue as it enters its seasonally low sales quarters.   Without restructuring its capitalization, receiving an infusion of new capital or credit, or some other relief, the Company will not likely be able to meet either it’s near term or long term debt obligations.  The Company has secured an independent financial advisory firm to assist it in developing and implementing a plan of restructure and recapitalization.

In March 2010, the executives forfeited 1.1 million shares of unvested common stock so that the Company could use those shares to fund $295 thousand of its $3.5 million commitment to pay the debt service payments due on its eight year notes due in April 2010.  Currently, the Company intends to continue to use the $3.5 million commitment to fund the quarterly debt service payments on a portion of the eight year notes.

The Company used $460 thousand from cash and cash equivalents in operating activities in the nine months ending September 30, 2010, versus using $3.0 million in the same period in 2009.  The decrease in cash used during 2010 is related primarily to the improved results from operations and the delaying of cash payments to vendors.

TRENDS AND GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

Coffee consumption by U.S. beverage drinkers is growing roughly in line with the population.  However, a sustained trend of the last 10 years has been coffee industry revenue growing more rapidly than cups served as some consumers are clearly trading up to more expensive specialty coffees typically serviced in specialty retail stores.  A trend that has benefited the Company is a substantial increase in the number of outlets serving and in consumption of iced coffee in place of other non-carbonated beverage choices.

Green coffee bean commodity market prices this year have continued to climb with the “c” market contract price on March 31, 2010 closing at $1.32 and September 30, 2010 closing at $1.83 or a 34.6% increase.  Coffee bean costs are the largest cost component of the Company's product costs and the rise in green coffee bean prices has increased the Company’s cost of goods.  Effective September 1st, following other coffee sellers and to help maintain gross margins, the Company increased product prices by 3-6%.  Fundamental indicators for green coffee suggest continued constrained supplies and potential rising prices due to, among other things, adverse weather and other growing conditions, pests, and declining arable land primarily in Central American growing regions.  If this trend continues the Company anticipates it will be able to increase product prices to compensate for the additional commodity costs increases, but there are no guarantees that such price increases will be accepted by its customers.

FACTORS AFFECTING QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE

The Company has experienced variations in sales from quarter to quarter due to the sales mix of its products and a variety of other factors including consumer buying trends, marketing programs, seasonality and weather; therefore, the results of any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.  The iced dispensed sales are expected to be greater in the spring and summer, while the hot dispensed sales are expected to be greater in late fall, winter and early spring.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Application of the Company's accounting policies requires management to make certain judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the financial statements. Management uses historical experience and all other available information to make these estimates and judgments, although materially differing amounts could be reported under different conditions or if there are changes in the assumptions and estimates. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory allowances, impairment costs, depreciation and amortization, warranty costs, taxes, calculation of debt discount and contingencies. Management has identified the following accounting policies as critical to an understanding of its financial statements and/or as areas most dependent on management's judgments and estimates.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes gross sales when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable, and collection is probable. It recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13 "Revenue Recognition." Net sales are recorded after sale returns, discounts and allowances, which are estimated at the time of shipment based upon historical data.

Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation costs for all share-based awards to employees are measured based on the grant date fair value of those awards and recognized over the period during which the employee is required to perform services in exchange for the award (generally over the vesting period of the award).

 OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

In 2005, the Company entered into a seven year rental agreement with Javo Dispenser, LLC (“LLC”) to rent liquid concentrate dispensers for placement at its customer locations.  The LLC is a Delaware limited liability company owned by Company directors Mssrs. Hackett and Solomon, three former directors and three other Company shareholders.  The Company’s Chief Financial Officer serves, without remuneration of any kind, as the General Manager of the LLC.  The LLC agreed to acquire, as needed, up to $2,000,000 worth of liquid dispensers, which are then rented to the Company on terms that the Company believes at the time entered into was arm’s length and no less favorable than could be obtained from an unaffiliated supplier.  The term of the rental agreement extends to 2010 and, at the end of the term the Company has the right to acquire the dispensers for nominal consideration of $1.00. The Company believes that the terms of this agreement are fair and are consistent with the terms that would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with non-related parties.

As of September 30, 2010, the LLC had purchased 896 dispensers with 854 of them still in service.  The Company incurred dispenser rental expense of $546,120 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s market risks relating to its operations result primarily from changes in commodity prices and the ability to pass along those cost increases through customer price increases.  The Company does not use financial instruments or commodity contracts in hedging transactions or for trading purposes, although it does make forward commitments to buy coffee beans to mitigate these risks, as described below.

Green coffee prices are subject to substantial price fluctuations due to various factors including weather and political and economic conditions in coffee-producing countries.  Gross profit margins can be impacted by growing conditions and changes in the price of green coffee.  The Company enters into commitments with coffee brokers to purchase, on a forward-looking basis, commercial grade coffees, which gives the Company significant flexibility in selecting the date of the market price and timing of delivery.   Depending on demand and the condition of the coffee markets, Javo will generally make commitments for one to nine months ahead; as of September 30, 2010, the Company had commitments for green coffee beans and soluble into the third quarter of 2010 for approximately $1.9 million or 1.1 million pounds.  If the Company does not take possession of the committed coffee as scheduled the Company will incur a monthly storage fee of approximately $0.01 per pound per month until delivered.
