NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Jamba, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jamba Juice Company (the Company)) is a leading restaurant retailer of better-for-you food and beverage offerings, including great tasting fruit smoothies, juices and teas, hot oatmeal made with organic steel cut oats, wraps, salads, sandwiches and California Flatbreads and a variety of baked goods and snacks. As of July 13, 2010, there were 743 locations consisting of 432 company-owned and operated stores (Company Stores) and 311 franchise stores (Franchise Stores).
Unaudited Interim Financial InformationThe condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 13, 2010, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for each of the 12 week and 28 week periods ended July 13, 2010 and July 14, 2009 and the condensed statements of cash flows and stockholders equity for the 28 week periods ended July 13, 2010 and July 14, 2009 have been prepared by the Company, without audit, and have been prepared on the same basis as the Companys audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position as of July 13, 2010 and the results of operations and cash flows for the 12 week and 28 week periods ended July 13, 2010 and July 14, 2009. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2009 has been derived from the Companys audited consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the 12 week and 28 week periods ended July 13, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 28, 2010. The Company reports its results of operations on a 52-week or 53-week fiscal year, which is comprised of thirteen 4-week periods or twelve 4-week periods and one 5-week period. The first fiscal quarter is 16 weeks, the second and third fiscal quarters each are 12 weeks, and the fourth quarter is 12 or 13 weeks.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been omitted from these interim financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2009 (2009 Annual Report).
Advertising FundThe Company participates with its franchisees in an advertising fund, established in fiscal 2010, to collect and administer funds contributed for use in advertising and promotional programs which are designed to increase sales and enhance the reputation of the Company and its franchise owners. Contributions to the advertising fund are required for Company Stores and traditional Franchise Stores and are generally based on a percent of store sales. The Company has control of the advertising fund. The fund is consolidated and the Company reports all assets and liabilities of the fund that it consolidates.
The advertising fund assets, consisting primarily of cash received from the Company and franchisees and accounts receivable from franchisees, can only be used for selected purposes and are considered restricted. The advertising fund liabilities represent the corresponding obligation arising from the receipts of the marketing program. In accordance with ASC Topic 952-605-25, the receipts from the franchisees are recorded as a liability against which specified advertising costs are charged. The Company does not reflect franchisee contributions to the fund in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Advertising fund assets as of July 13, 2010 include cash of $0.9 million, which is recorded in restricted cash, and $0.6 million of receivables from franchisees, which is recorded in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet. Advertising fund liabilities as of July 13, 2010 of $1.6 million are reported in other accrued expenses and accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheet. There were no advertising fund assets or advertising fund liabilities as of December 29, 2009.
Comprehensive IncomeComprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events, excluding changes resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. Comprehensive income (loss) equals net income (loss) for all periods presented.
Earnings (Loss) Per ShareEarning (loss) per share is computed in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 260. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted-average of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities, which includes outstanding warrants and outstanding options and restricted stock awards granted under the Companys stock option plans.
8
Anti-dilutive shares, including convertible preferred shares, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. Anti-dilutive shares of 25.4 million and 14.2 million have been excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding in the 12 week periods ended July 13, 2010 and July 14, 2009, respectively. Anti-dilutive shares of 33.3 million and 10.0 million have been excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding in the 12 and 28 week periods ended July 13, 2010 and July 14, 2009, respectively.
For purposes of determining the net income available (loss attributable) to common stockholders used in the computation of earnings (loss) per share, the amount of the income (loss) is increased (decreased) by the preferred stock dividends and deemed dividends. The deemed dividend represents the accretion of the issuance costs and beneficial conversion feature of the Companys preferred stock. As the convertible preferred shares are anti-dilutive, the dividends and deemed dividends related to the preferred stock have not been added back to the net income available to common stockholders and the number of preferred shares have not been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation.
The number of incremental shares from the assumed exercise of restricted stock awards, warrants and options was calculated by applying the treasury stock method. The if converted method was used for the conversion of preferred stock. A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations is as follows (in thousands, except shares):

The Company held $2.7 million in restricted cash at December 29, 2009, of which $1.3 million was classified as a current asset and $1.4 million was classified as a long-term asset. Restricted cash represents cash held in money market accounts or certificates of deposits to collateralize the Companys letters of credit and restricted cash held in the Companys advertising fund.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities Amended
(Included in ASC 810 Consolidation, SFAS No. 167 Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R))
SFAS No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities regarding certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity and modifies the methods allowed for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The amendments include: (1) the elimination of the exemption for qualifying special purpose entities, (2) a new approach for determining who should consolidate a variable-interest entity, and (3) changes to when it is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a variable-interest entity. SFAS No. 167 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009, with earlier adoption prohibited. The adoption of SFAS No. 167 in fiscal 2010 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

Entities will also be required to provide information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements. In addition, entities must provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities, and disclosures about the valuation techniques used in determining fair value for Level 2 or Level 3 measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the gross basis reconciliation for the Level 3 fair value measurements, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.

The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy during the 28 week period ended July 13, 2010.
2. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Assets held for sale consists of Company Stores that the Company expects to refranchise. Such assets are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on the purchase price in the asset purchase agreement. Assets are no longer depreciated once classified as held for sale. Assets held for sale of $2.3 million and $2.6 million as of July 13, 2010 and December 29, 2009, respectively, include property, fixtures and equipment and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Companys balance sheet.
3. REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
During the second quarter of Fiscal 2009, the Company issued (i) 170,000 shares of its Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001, (the Series B-1 Preferred) to affiliates of Mistral Equity Partners at a price of $115 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $19.6 million, and (ii) 134,348 shares of its Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001, (the Series B-2 Preferred) to CanBa Investments, LLC at a price of $115 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $15.4 million. The issuance of shares of the Series B-1 and B-2 Preferred Stock (together the Series B Preferred Stock or Preferred Stock) for $35 million, less approximately $3.1 million in total transaction costs, which includes $2.2 million in transaction fees and $885,000 paid to investors, was completed through a private placement to the purchasers as accredited investors and pursuant to the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). The shares of Preferred Stock and the shares of the Companys Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock include legends restricting transfer other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in accordance with an exemption from registration. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock have the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the shares of the Preferred Stock on or after seven years from the date of issuance of the Preferred Stock.
The shares of Preferred Stock are convertible at the election of the holders, at any time, into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $1.15 per share. The conversion price for the Preferred Stock is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits, dividends or certain other equity restructurings. After a two year period from the original date of issuance, the Company will have the right to require that the shares of Preferred Stock be converted into shares of Common Stock if (i) the Common Stock trading volume averages 150,000 shares per trading day over a 30 trading day period and (ii) the daily volume weighted average price per share of the Common Stock exceeds the product of 2.5 times the then-applicable conversion price for any 20 of the preceding 30 trading days at any time these conditions continue to be satisfied and for a period of 10 trading days thereafter. Upon exercise of this right, the Preferred Stock will be converted at the then-applicable conversion rate and the Company will be obligated to pay any then-existing dividend arrearages in cash. The Shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to an 8% dividend, payable quarterly in cash.
During the 12 week period ended July 13, 2010, holders converted 1,630 shares of outstanding Series B-1 Preferred Stock and 1,401 shares of outstanding Series B-2 Preferred Stock to an aggregate 303,100 shares of common stock at the initial conversion price of $1.15 per share. During the 28 week period ended July 13, 2010, holders converted 21,180 shares of outstanding Series B-1 Preferred Stock and 45,705 shares of outstanding Series B-2 Preferred Stock to an aggregate 6,688,500 shares of common stock at the initial conversion price of $1.15 per share. During the 12 and 28 week period ended July 13, 2010, the Company paid cash dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock totaling $0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Accretion related to the Series B Preferred Stock for the 12 week and 28 week periods ended July 13, 2010 was $0.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
4. NOTE PAYABLE
On September 11, 2008, the Company entered into a financing agreement with Victory Park Management, LLC, as agent, and its affiliated funds as lenders whereby the Lenders purchased $25 million two-year senior secured term notes from the Company (Senior Notes). The Senior Notes were repaid in full on June 16, 2009. During the 12 week period and 28 week period ended July 14, 2009, the Company recorded $4.9 million and $6.6 million in interest expense, respectively.
5. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company maintains three share-based compensation plans (collectively, the Plans). The Companys 2006 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan, as amended, (the 2006 Plan) was approved by the Companys stockholders on November 28, 2006. An amendment to the 2006 Plan was approved by the stockholders on May 20, 2010. The 2006 Plan provides for the granting of up to eight million shares of common stock in the form of nonqualified and incentive stock
10
options, stock grants or other share-based awards to employees, nonemployee directors and consultants. In connection with the merger of the Company with Jamba Juice Company on November 28, 2006, the Company assumed the outstanding options under the Jamba Juice Company 1994 Stock Incentive Plan (the 1994 Plan) and the Jamba Juice Company 2001 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2001 Plan), both of which provided for the granting of nonqualified and incentive stock options to employees, nonemployee directors and consultants. No additional grants are available under the 2001 Plan and the 1994 Plan. As of July 13, 2010, there remained 3,846,076 shares available for grant under the Companys 2006 Plan. In December 2008, the Company also granted an option covering an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of common stock options under an inducement grant made outside of the Companys existing equity plans. A summary of stock option activity under the Plans as of July 13, 2010, and changes during the 28 week period then ended is presented below:

Options exercisable at July 13, 2010 |
2,108 | $ | 4.34 | $ | 1,791 | ||||
The fair value of options granted was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Option valuation models, including Black-Scholes, require the input of highly subjective assumptions, and changes in the assumptions used can materially affect the grant date fair value of an award. These assumptions include the risk-free rate of interest, expected dividend yield, expected volatility, and the expected life of the award. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of the treasury security at grant date with a maturity closest to the expected term of the award. Expected dividends are zero based on a history of not paying cash dividends on the Companys common stock and as the Company does not intend to pay dividends in the future. Expected volatility is based on a 75/25 blend of historic, daily stock price observations of the Companys common stock since its inception and historic, daily stock price observations of the Companys peers during the period immediately preceding the share-based award grant that is equal in length to the awards expected term. Estimated forfeitures are also included as a part of the grant date estimate. The Company used historical data to estimate expected employee behaviors related to option exercises and forfeitures. There is currently no market-based mechanism or other practical application to verify the reliability and accuracy of the estimates stemming from these valuation models or assumptions, nor is there a means to compare and adjust the estimates to actual values, except for annual adjustments to reflect actual forfeitures.
Share-based compensation expense, which is included in general and administrative expense, was $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the 12 week periods ended July 13, 2010 and July 14, 2009, respectively. Share-based compensation expense was $0.7 million and $0.9 million for the 28 week periods ended July 13, 2010 and July 14, 2009, respectively. At July 13, 2010, non-vested share-based compensation for stock options and restricted stock awards, net of forfeitures totaled $1.1 million. This expense will be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period. There was no income tax benefit related to share-based compensation expense during the 12 and 28 week periods ended July 13, 2010 and July 14, 2009.
The following are the weighted-average assumptions used to value option grants for the 12 and 28 week periods ended July 13, 2010, and July 14, 2009:
12 Week Period Ended | 28 Week Period Ended | |||||||||||

The estimated fair value per share of stock options granted during the 12 week periods ended July 13, 2010 and July 14, 2009, was $1.46 and $0.55, respectively. The estimated fair value per share of stock options granted during the 28 week periods ended July 13, 2010 and July 14, 2009, was $1.45 and $0.30, respectively.
6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Company measures its cash equivalents at fair value. There is no difference between the fair value and cost of the Companys cash equivalents. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.
The following table presents our financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 13, 2010 and December 29, 2009 by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

For assets that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, fair value is the published market price per unit multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. We had cash invested in money market funds and active exchange funds of $2.1 million and $2.8 million as of July 13, 2010 and December 29, 2009, respectively.
Assets held for sale consists of Company Stores that the Company expects to refranchise. Such assets are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on the purchase price in the asset purchase agreement.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including leasehold improvements and other fixed assets for impairment at least quarterly or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. Impairment losses represented the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the affected assets and are included in impairment of long-lived assets on the Companys consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of impaired assets was estimated based upon the present value of the anticipated cash flows associated with each related asset. The estimate of anticipated cash flows is based upon, among other things, certain assumptions about expected future operating performance.
7. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS AND STORE LEASE TERMINATION AND CLOSURE COSTS
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company reviews its portfolio of Company Stores for impairment on a regular basis. The review includes an analysis of each stores past and present operating performance combined with projected future results. Impairment charges include the write-down of long-lived assets at stores that were assessed for impairment because of managements intention to close the store or because of changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. In addition, the Company records long-lived assets at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less selling costs once assets are classified as held for sale. Fair value is determined based on the purchase price in the agreement. The Company recorded impairment charges of $2.1 million and $7.5 million for the 12 week periods ended July 13, 2010 and July 14, 2009, respectively. Impairment charges of $2.3 million and $10.6 million were recorded for the 28 week periods ended July 13, 2010 and July 14, 2009, respectively.
Store lease termination and closure costs
Lease termination costs consist primarily of the costs of future obligations related to closed store locations. Discounted liabilities for future lease costs and the fair value of related subleases of closed locations are recorded when the stores are closed. All other costs related to closed units are expensed as incurred. In assessing the discounted liabilities for future costs
13
of obligations related to closed stores, the Company makes assumptions regarding amounts of future subleases. If these assumptions or their related estimates change in the future, the Company may be required to record additional exit costs or reduce exit costs previously recorded. Exit costs recorded for each of the periods presented include the effect of such changes in estimates. Lease obligations are payable through 2019, less sublease amounts. The charges are noted below.

8. INCOME TAXES
At the end of each interim period, the Company calculates an estimated annual effective tax rate based on the Companys best estimate of the tax provision (benefit) that will be provided for the full year. The income tax expense (benefit) for the period is a result of applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to the periods actual pre-tax income (loss) and adjusting for discrete tax items.
A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has concluded that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets related to depreciation, tax goodwill, jambacards, accrued expenses and net operating losses will be realized and a full valuation allowance has been maintained against the Companys net deferred tax assets.
During the 12 week and 28 week periods ended July 13, 2010, stock options related to certain former employees were cancelled. Once the requisite service has been provided, the prior book expense is not reversed. However, because a tax deduction will no longer be realized, there is no longer a temporary difference. The deferred income tax asset and related valuation allowance for these stock options at December 29, 2009 were adjusted during the 12 week and 28 week periods ended July 13, 2010.
The Company has not recorded a tax benefit for the 12 week and 28 week periods ended July 13, 2010. The Companys effective tax rate is 0.6% and 0.7%, respectively. The effective tax rate is affected by pretax income or loss and a change in the valuation allowance related to deductible temporary differences originating during the current year.
As of July 13, 2010, there have been no material changes to the Companys uncertain tax positions disclosure as provided in Note 14 in the Notes to the Financial Statements in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change prior to the end of December 2010. As of July 13, 2010 approximately $0.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits are expected to reverse in the next twelve months due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.
9. OTHER OPERATING, NET
Other operating, net includes gains or losses recognized in connection with the refranchise of certain Company Stores. During the 12 week and 28 week periods ended July 13, 2010, the Company recognized a gain on sale of refranchised stores of $1.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively. No gain or loss was recognized from the sale of refranchised stores during the 12 and 28 week periods ended July 14, 2009.
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company records a liability for litigation claims and contingencies when payment is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
14
Three putative class action lawsuits, brought on behalf of former employees, are pending against the Company. These lawsuits, brought in 2008, 2009, and 2010, respectively, allege the Company failed to comply with various California labor laws. In August 2010, after engaging in settlement negotiations, the Company reached settlements for two of the lawsuits, each on a California statewide basis. The settlements are currently being memorialized and will then be presented to the respective courts for approval. The settlements do not include any admission of wrongdoing by the Company. There is no assurance that the terms of the settlements negotiated between the respective parties will be memorialized into definitive settlement agreements, or that the courts will approve of the settlement terms agreed to among the respective parties. However, the Company has established an accrual based on the expected amount the Company will pay under the settlements. Should the settlements be approved, parts of the third lawsuit which overlap with the other two lawsuits are expected to be dismissed. The Company denies the allegations in the remaining claims of this lawsuit, believes they are without merit, and intends to vigorously defend itself against them.
The Company is a defendant in other litigation arising in the normal course of business. Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate disposition of these matters, it is the opinion of the Companys management, based upon the information available at this time, that the expected outcome of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, liquidity or financial condition of the Company.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company completed the sale of 33 of its Company Stores in refranchising transactions since July 13, 2010. A gain on sale from these transactions will be recorded during the fiscal third quarter ending October 5, 2010.

JAMBA, INC. OVERVIEW
Jamba, Inc. is a holding company which owns and franchises Jamba Juice stores through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jamba Juice Company. Jamba Juice Company is a leading restaurant retailer of better-for-you food and beverage offerings, including great tasting fruit smoothies, juices and teas, hot oatmeal made with organic steel cut oats, wraps, salads, sandwiches and California Flatbreads and a variety of baked goods and snacks. Jamba, Inc. was incorporated in January 2005 and went public through an initial public offering later that year. In November 2006, we completed our acquisition of Jamba Juice Company, which first began operations in 1990. As of July 13, 2010, there were 743 locations consisting of 432 Company Stores and 311 Franchise Stores.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Key Overall Strategies
In early 2009, we undertook five key strategic initiatives to revitalize ourselves for future growth and long-term stockholder value, which we call the BLEND Plan. We continue to execute against the BLEND Plan, the key components of which are:
| building a customer first operationally focused service culture; |
| building a retail food capability across all four day parts (breakfast, lunch, afternoon, and dinner); |
| accelerating the development of franchise and non-traditional stores; |
| building a consumer products growth platform; and |
| continuing to implement a disciplined expense reduction plan. |
2010 Second Quarter Financial Highlights
| Net income was $1.6 million, an improvement of $6.7 million over the prior year period, driven primarily by a decrease in impairment of long-lived assets, a reduction in interest expense, and a gain from the Companys refranchising activities, partially offset by charges to settle outstanding litigation. |
| Diluted earnings per share was $0.02 per share for the 12 weeks ended July 13, 2010 compared to a loss per share of ($0.10) for the prior year period. |
| Total revenue decreased (10.9%) to $74.1 million from $83.2 million from prior year period reflecting a decrease of $9.1 million primarily due to the reduction in the number of Company Stores. |
| Company-owned comparable store sales decreased (2.4%) compared to (13.7%) for the prior year period. This result reflects a 90 basis point sequential improvement over the first fiscal quarter of 2010. |
| Store-level EBITDA decreased $2.2 million to $16.3 million compared to $18.5 million for the prior year period. |
16
| Consolidated EBITDA decreased $3.4 million to $6.9 million compared to $10.3 million for the prior year period. |
2010 Second Quarter Business Highlights
Company Store Sales
We recorded our fifth sequential quarter of improved comparable store sales, posting a 90 basis point improvement in Q2 over our first quarter performance to a decrease of 2.4%. In our New York and Florida markets, comparable store sales were positive. In addition to our comparable stores sales performance, we have also delivered sequential quarter-to-quarter gains in store traffic. While we will continue to face the challenges of a slowly recovering economy and an unexpected, exceptionally cool summer in California, where approximately 70% of our Company Stores are located, we feel very good about our fundamentals and business model.
We have continued to expand our food and beverage offerings, with a goal of driving sales by increasing average check and attachment rates. During the second quarter, we launched five new smoothies, include two coffee smoothies and three Super-Fruit smoothies. Our Hot Blended Beverages are now available in over 400 stores and we offer hot coffee in 45 stores with an anticipated rollout to more than 300 locations this Fall.
Our marketing program, which we have increased to a level that will better support our efforts is designed to drive traffic and awareness. Our everyday weekday Feel Good Specials are providing customers with daily deals, highlighting the range of Jamba products and encouraging customers to come back to our stores throughout the week to try new items at value prices.
Franchising and Refranchising
We continue to grow our restaurant concept primarily through the development of new Franchise Stores, which will be primarily in non-traditional venues such as airports and universities. During the second quarter of 2010, we opened four new non-traditional franchise locations and expect to open up 30-50 new Franchise Stores.
In 2009, we embarked on a refranchising initiative to refranchise up to an aggregate of 150 Company Stores, as we move to a more franchise-oriented business model. During the second quarter, we completed the sale of 22 Company Stores in six refranchising transactions to franchisees. With the 33 additional locations sold after the second quarter, the refranchising initiative is approximately 70% complete. The buyers in these transactions have also undertaken development obligations, under which they have committed to opening new additional Franchise Stores over the next five years. We believe we are still on track to achieve our goal of refranchising 150 stores by year-end.
We have also made significant progress towards international expansion of our franchise concept. In June of 2010 we announced that we entered into a master development agreement with a premier retailer in South Korea that operates approximately 4,500 stores across several brands. Under the terms of the agreement, our franchisee has committed to opening at least 200 Franchise Stores in South Korea over the next 10 years, and we are targeting to open the first store in late 2010.
As we move forward, our franchise-focused business model is expected to require less capital investment and reduce the volatility of cash flow performance over time. A natural and expected outcome of our franchising effort is that total revenue will continue to trend downward as we trade retail sales at Company Stores for royalties and franchise fees received from our franchisees, but we expect that the overall shift will ultimately result in improved free cash flows.
Store-level Margins
We continue to optimize our labor scheduling and more efficient labor management system which allows us to maintain our store-level margins as compared to the prior year despite the deleverage impact from decreased Company Store comparable sales during the second quarter. During the third quarter, we will continue to focus our efforts to improve store-level margins by continuing our cost savings initiatives.
Consumer Products
During the second quarter, we continued to make progress on our consumer products licensing platform. Our Jamba branded products, such as our frozen smoothie kits and frozen novelty bars went into nationwide distribution with key retailers. We also initiated a test of Jamba fresh and premium food products in 100 convenience stores in the Northern California market. We continue to believe the availability of these products in retail distribution helps increase brand awareness and will be a significant driver in our transformation from a made-to-order smoothie company into an active, healthy lifestyle brand.

Total revenue is comprised of revenue from Company Stores, royalties and fees from Franchise Stores and licensing revenue. Total revenue decreased $9.1 million or 10.9% to $74.1 million for the 12 week period ended July 13, 2010 compared to $83.2 million for the prior year period. Company Store revenue decreased $9.4 million or 11.5% to $72.3 million compared to $81.7 million for the prior year period. This decrease in Company Store revenue is primarily attributable to a net decrease of 58 Company Stores operating since the prior year period due to our refranchising initiative. The decrease in Company Store revenue was also affected by a decrease in Company Store comparable sales of 2.4% compared to the prior year period. Company Store comparable sales represents the change in year-over-year sales for all Company Stores opened
18
for at least 13 full fiscal periods. As of July 13, 2010 approximately 98% of our Company Stores had been open for at least 13 full fiscal periods.
Franchise and other revenue increased 20.3% to $1.8 million compared to $1.5 million for the prior year period. The number of Franchise Stores as of July 13, 2010 was 311 as compared to 244 stores as of July 14, 2009. The increase in franchise and other revenue is due primarily to a $0.3 million increase in royalty revenue resulting from the net increase in the number of Franchise Stores operating compared to the prior year period.

Cost of sales decreased $2.2 million or 11.3% to $17.1 million for the 12 week period ended July 13, 2010, compared to $19.3 million for the prior year period. This $2.2 million decrease was primarily attributable to the net decrease in Company Stores operating compared to the prior year period which resulted in reduced aggregate Company Store purchasing levels.

The $0.1 million increase in total store operating expenses was primarily attributable to increased marketing spending, partially offset by decreases in utilities and repairs and maintenance.
Utilities expense decreased by 8.5% to $2.5 million for the 12 week period ended July 13, 2010 compared to $2.8 million for the prior year period.

Repairs and maintenance expense remained relatively flat for the 12 week period ended July 13, 2010 at $1.2 million compared to the prior year period. This was primarily attributable to a decrease in the net number of Company Stores operating compared to the prior year period offset by equipment refreshes.
Credit card fees were flat for the 12 week period ended July 13, 2010 compared to the prior year period. This was primarily due to a decrease in the net number of Company Stores operating compared to the prior year period and a decrease in Company Store comparable sales, partially offset by higher usage.
Other store operating expenses were relatively flat for the 12 week period ended July 13, 2010 compared to the prior year period.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. Expected future cash flows associated with an asset, in addition to other quantitative and qualitative analyses, including certain assumptions about expected future operating performance and changes in economic conditions are the key factors in determining undiscounted future cash flows. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, we recognize an impairment loss equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.
We recorded long-lived asset impairment expense of $2.1 million for the 12 week period ended July 13, 2010 compared to $7.5 million for the prior year period. The decrease in impairment charges relate primarily to the decrease in the number of impaired stores, partially offset by impairment recorded for long-lived assets that the Company intends to refranchise where the carrying amount exceeds the selling price.

$ | 36,237 | 24.0 | % | $ | 40,516 | 24.0 | % |
Cost of sales is mostly comprised of fruit, dairy and other products used to make smoothies, cost of prepared foods such as our grab-and-go menu offerings introduced in the middle of fiscal 2009, paper products, and costs related to managing our procurement program. Cost of sales decreased $4.3 million or 10.6% to $36.2 million for the 28 week period ended July 13, 2010 compared to $40.5 million for the prior year period. This decrease was primarily attributable to the net decrease in Company Stores operating compared to the prior year period which resulted in reduced aggregate Company Store purchasing levels. Cost of sales as a percentage of Company Store revenue was flat compared to the prior year period.

Labor costs decreased $8.2 million or 14.3% to $49.1 million for the 28 week period ended July 13, 2010 compared to $57.3 million for the prior year period. The $8.2 million decrease was primarily attributable to the net decrease in Company Stores operating compared to the prior year period, optimization of labor scheduling, and more efficient labor management. Labor costs as a percentage of Company Store revenue decreased to 32.6% for the 28 week period ended July 13, 2010 compared to 34.0% in the prior year period due primarily to optimization of labor scheduling and more efficient labor management, partially offset by deleverage resulting from a decrease in Company Store comparable sales and increased value promotion activity.

The $1.2 million increase in total store operating expenses was primarily attributable to increased marketing spending and other store operating expenses partially offset by reductions in utilities.
Utilities expense decreased by 7.6% to $5.4 million for the 28 week period ended July 13, 2010 compared to $5.9 million for the prior year period. The $0.5 million decrease in utilities expense was primarily attributable to a decrease in the net number of Company Stores operating compared to the prior year period.

Total G&A expenses increased $0.3 million or 1.7% to $20.2 million compared to $19.9 million in the prior year period which was primarily attributable to an increase in costs associated with charges to settle outstanding litigation, partially offset by decreases in wages and payroll related expenses and reclassification of costs associated with managing the systems procurement program into cost of sales.
Wages and payroll related expenses decreased by $0.8 million or 6.4% to $11.4 million for the 28 week period ended July 13, 2010 compared to $12.2 million for the prior year period.

Travel and travel-related expenses was relatively flat for the 28 week period ended July 13, 2010 at $1.2 million compared to $1.1 million for the prior year period. Travel and travel-related expenses resulted from travel to support company initiatives including franchising, refranchising, licensing, offsite sales and international expansion, partially offset by lower field headcount.

$ | 2,292 | 1.5 | % | $ | 10,575 | 6.1 | % |
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. Expected future cash flows associated with an asset, in addition to other quantitative and qualitative analyses, including certain assumptions about expected future operating performance and changes in economic conditions are the key factors in determining undiscounted future cash flows. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, we recognize an impairment loss equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.
We recorded long-lived asset impairment expense of $2.3 million for the 28 week period ended July 13, 2010 compared to $10.6 million for the prior year period. The decrease in impairment charges relate primarily to the decrease in the number of impaired stores, partially offset by impairment recorded for long-lived assets that the Company intends to refranchise where the carrying amount exceeds the selling price.

KEY FINANCIAL METRICS AND NON-GAAP MEASURES
Management reviews and discusses its operations based on both financial and non-financial metrics. Among the key financial metrics upon which management focuses is reviewing its performance based on the Companys consolidated GAAP results, including Company Store comparable sales. Management also uses certain supplemental, non-GAAP financial metrics in evaluating financial results, including Store-level EBITDA and Consolidated EBITDA.
Company Store comparable sales represents the change in year-over-year sales for all Company Stores opened for at least 13 full fiscal periods.
Consolidated EBITDA is equal to net income or loss less: (a) gain from derivative liabilities (b) interest income; (c) interest expense; (d) income taxes; (e) depreciation and amortization; (f) impairment of long-lived assets; and (g) other operating, net.
Our definition of Store-level EBITDA is different from Consolidated EBITDA because we further adjust net income or loss to exclude general and administrative expenses.
Management uses Consolidated EBITDA and Store-level EBITDA: (i) as measurements of operating performance because they assist us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis as they remove the impact of items not directly resulting from our Company Store operations; (ii) for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget; and (iii) as measurements in assessing the performance of existing store operating income and comparative operating performance.
Consolidated EBITDA and Store-level EBITDA are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to income (loss) from operations or net income (loss) as indicators
29
of financial performance. Each non-GAAP financial measure used as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to these non-GAAP financial measures, see the discussion and related tables below.
Consolidated EBITDA and Store-level EBITDA: (a) do not represent net income or cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP; (b) are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund our cash flow needs; and (c) should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or our other financial information as determined under GAAP.
Consolidated EBITDA was $6.9 million for the 12 week period ended July 13, 2010 as compared to $10.3 million in the prior year period. Store-level EBITDA was $16.3 million for the 12 week period ended July 13, 2010 as compared to $18.5 million for the prior year period. Consolidated EBITDA was $5.7 million for the 28 week period ended July 13, 2010 as compared to $10.7 million in the prior year period. Store-level EBITDA was $26.0 million for the 28 week period ended July 13, 2010 as compared to $30.6 million for the prior year period.

Operating Activities
In the 28 week period ended July 13, 2010, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $3.7 million, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $3.8 million in the 28 week period ended July 14, 2009. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the 28 week period ended July 13, 2010 as compared to the 28 week period ended July 14, 2009 primarily resulted from net decreases in working capital, combined with the Companys net loss excluding share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, impairment of long-lived assets and other non-cash items.
Investing Activities
In the 28 week period ended July 13, 2010, net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $3.2 million compared with net cash provided by investing activities of approximately $0.2 million in the prior year period. Cash provided by investing activities for the 28 week period ended July 13, 2010 resulted from $8.5 million in proceeds from the sale of our Company Stores pursuant to the refranchising initiative. These cash increases were offset by capital expenditures of $5.3 million in the current period.
Cash provided by investing activities in the prior year period resulted from a $5.0 million reduction in restricted cash and $1.1 million in proceeds from the sale of our Company Stores and was offset by capital expenditures of $5.9 million.
Capital expenditures are used for funding Company Store refurbishments, the opening of new Company Stores, investing in new equipment to support expanding our food and beverage capabilities and upgrading our information technology systems. Capital expenditures for the 28 week period ended July 13, 2010 total approximately $5.3 million as compared to approximately $5.9 million for the prior year period. In fiscal 2010, we expect capital expenditures to be between $9 million to $11 million depending on our liquidity. During the 28 week period ended July 13, 2010, we opened one new Company Store. We expect to open less than five new Company Stores as we focus our growth on franchise development.
Financing Activities
In the 28 week period ended July 13, 2010, net cash used in financing activities was $1.4 million, compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $4.1 million in the prior year period. Cash used in financing activities for the 28 week period ended July 13, 2010 resulted primarily from preferred stock dividend payments of $1.3 million, cash paid for our capital leases of $0.2 million, partially offset by cash received from stock option exercises of $0.1 million.
31
In the 28 week period ended July 14, 2009, net cash provided by financing activities was $4.1 million. Cash provided by financing activities for the 28 week period ended July 14, 2009 resulted primarily from net proceeds of our issuance of redeemable preferred stock of $34.1 million, partially offset by the payoff of our Senior Notes of $25.0 million principal plus accrued interest, the exercise of an outstanding put option which required us to repurchase two million shares of our outstanding common stock for $3.0 million, transaction costs paid in connection with the issuance of our preferred stock of $1.9 million and $0.1 million in capital lease payments.
Capital Resources
As of July 13, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $34.3 million compared to $28.8 million as of December 29, 2009. Our primary sources of liquidity are the remaining cash on hand resulting from the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, cash flows provided by operating activities and proceeds from refranchising transactions. As of July 13, 2010, we held $2.7 million in restricted cash which represented cash held in money market accounts or certificates of deposit to collateralize our letters of credit and restricted cash held in the Companys advertising fund.
On May 28, 2009, we announced the launch of a refranchising program that is expected to involve as many as 150 Company Stores primarily located outside of California to existing or prospective franchisees. As of July 13, 2010, the Company has sold a total of 69 stores for an aggregate gross selling price of $15.0 million since the inception of its refranchising initiative. During the quarter, we sold 22 stores for an aggregate gross selling price of $4.3 million. We expect the sale of Company Stores to generate additional cash which we intend to use to fund future growth initiatives and for working capital.
Our primary liquidity and capital requirements are for working capital, general corporate needs and the fiscal 2010 capital expenditures described above. We expect that our primary sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund working capital, general corporate needs and the non-discretionary capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. The use of cash to fund discretionary capital expenditures will be based on the need to conserve our capital.
The adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including the macroeconomic environment, the operating performance of our Company Stores, the successful expansion of our franchise and licensing programs and the successful rollout and consumer acceptance of our food initiatives.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no significant changes to our contractual obligations table as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2009, except as noted in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended April 20, 2010.
COMMODITY PRICES, AVAILABILITY AND GENERAL RISK CONDITIONS
We contract for significant amounts of instant quick freeze fruit, fruit concentrate and dairy products to support the needs of both our Company Stores and franchise stores. The price and availability of these commodities directly impacts our results of operations and can be expected to impact our future results of operations.
SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. We expect to realize significant portions of our revenue during the second and third quarters of the fiscal year, which align with the warmer summer season. In addition, quarterly results are affected by the timing of the opening of new stores and weather conditions. However, geographic diversification of our store locations may conceal or diminish the financial statement impact of such seasonal influences. Because of the seasonality of our business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year or any subsequent quarter.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to adopt accounting policies and make significant judgments and estimates to develop amounts reflected and disclosed in the financial statements. In many cases, there are alternative policies or estimation techniques that could be used. We maintain a process to review the application of our accounting policies and to evaluate the appropriateness of the many estimates that we are required to make in order to prepare the financial statements. However, even under optimal circumstances, estimates routinely require adjustment based on changing circumstances and the receipt of new or better information. There have been no significant changes to the policies and estimates as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2009.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
The following discussion of market risks contains forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from the following discussion based on general conditions in the financial and commodity markets.
We purchase fruit based on short-term seasonal pricing agreements. These short-term agreements generally set the price of procured frozen fruit and 100% fruit juice concentrates for less than one year based on estimated annual requirements. In order to mitigate the effects of price changes in any one commodity on our cost structure, we contract with multiple suppliers both domestically and internationally. These agreements typically set the price for some or all of our estimated annual fruit requirements, protecting us from short-term volatility. Nevertheless, these agreements typically contain a force majeure clause, which, if utilized (such as when hurricanes in 2004 destroyed the Florida orange crop and more recently with the freeze that affected California citrus), may subject us to significant price increases.
Our pricing philosophy is not to attempt to change consumer prices with every move up or down of the commodity market, but to take a longer term view of managing margins and the value perception of our products in the eyes of our customers. Managements objective is to maximize our revenue through increased customer frequency. However, management has the ability to increase certain menu prices in response to food commodity prices.
We do not purchase derivative instruments on the open market. We are also subject to changes in the risk free interest rate in connection with the cash we hold in interest bearing accounts.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company and our subsidiaries required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of July 13, 2010.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the fiscal quarter ended July 13, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
