CORPORATE HISTORY

Javo® Beverage Company, Inc. (the "Company" or "Javo") was originally incorporated in the state of Washington as North West Converters, Inc. on February 9, 1987. In June of 1999, the Company changed its name to La Jolla Fresh Squeezed Coffee Co., Inc. and its Board of Directors ratified the acquisition of the assets of Stephen's Coffee, Inc. and the merger with Stephen's Coffee Holding, Inc. On February 22, 2000, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Sorisole Acquisition Corp. to become successor issuer to Sorisole pursuant to Rule 12g-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities & Exchange Commission. On August 21, 2002, the Company reincorporated from Washington State to the state of Delaware and simultaneously changed its name from La Jolla Fresh Squeezed Coffee Company, Inc. to Javo Beverage Company, Inc.

BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Javo Beverage Company is a manufacturer of coffee and tea concentrates, drink mixes, and flavor systems serving the foodservice, food and beverage manufacturing, and retail industries. For foodservice industry customers, Javo combines great tasting coffees, teas and specialty beverages with the added convenience and efficiency of dispenser-based systems. For food and beverage processors and retailers looking for authentic coffee and tea flavor for their packaged foods and ready-to-drink beverages, Javo supplies customized beverage formulations, extracts and flavors.

PRODUCTS

Javo Beverage Company is an innovation leader in the manufacture of coffee and tea dispensed beverages, drink mixes and flavor systems. The Company employs a proprietary brewing technology to produce fresh brewed coffees and teas that are flavorful, concentrated and stable. At a time when coffeehouse style beverages are proliferating, these unique capabilities have equipped the Company to offer products that remove the operational barriers for foodservice operators desiring to serve specialty coffee and tea beverages.

To address the needs of high-volume food service operators such as hospitals, casinos, hotels, sports parks, universities, military bases and caterers who are challenged to serve consistent, high quality coffees and teas, Javo offers a variety of beverage concentrates that may be conveniently dispensed “on-demand” from equipment similar to fountain juice and soda machines. Javo brand coffee and tea concentrates arrive to the operator in refrigerated bag-in-box packages ready for loading into dispensers that serve hot beverages on an as-needed basis.

For food service operators and specialty coffee shops looking for ways to offer increasingly popular specialty iced coffee and tea flavored beverages, Javo offers barista-quality iced coffee and tea beverages that do not require brewing, chilling, mixing or storage. Javo’s beverage concentrates are offered in packages fitting a range of commonly used beverage dispensing formats. For preparing popular blended coffee and tea beverages, Javo offers convenient mixes in shelf-stable packages. Javo’s customers easily combine these products with water, milk and ice to serve specialty beverages without the requirement of expensive brewing equipment.

Finally, Javo enables food and beverage processors to better align their coffee and tea flavored products to the elevated quality standards of today’s consumer. Javo’s coffee and tea flavors are all natural, freshly brewed and highly concentrated. The Company’s proprietary brewing process uses only water and avoids the extreme heat of other extraction methods that commonly de-stabilize the flavor system prior to being added to latte, ice cream, yogurt, or energy drink applications.

DISTRIBUTION

The Company distributes its products through multiple and well established food distribution methods. Javo's dispensed on-demand coffee and dispensed iced coffee/tea beverages utilize broad line foodservice distributors that supply a complete range of food, beverage, and consumables to foodservice operators. These distributors own and manage inventories of Javo’s products, receive orders and deliver products as needed to clients for use in their operations. In the case of chain restaurant operators, designated captive distribution providers operate in a similar fashion. Javo supplies its industrial flavor systems to its food and beverage manufacturing customers by shipping bulk extracts directly to the food processing location.

SALES AND SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS

The Company continues to expand its sales force to build broader awareness of its product offerings on a national basis within its primary sales channels. Javo employs a direct sales force to make direct operator sales calls and service its customer distributor base. Javo’s service organization manages all aspects of its equipment program, including installations, asset tracking, emergency service and preventive maintenance. To supplement its service capabilities, Javo frequently employs the services of contract service partners.

The Company’s sales staff also markets directly to and services coffeehouses, chain restaurants, and beverage manufacturers. In many cases, Javo receives sales assistance from its distributors, equipment suppliers and partner brands in initiating and completing sales efforts.

COMPETITION

For its dispensed hot coffee business, Javo has several significant direct competitors in the United States. The largest is Douwe Egberts Coffee Systems, a division of Sara Lee Corporation. Douwe Egberts began its business in Europe where, compared to the United States, the market for dispensed coffee is more established and greater than three times the size. The Douwe Egberts products are frozen at the point of manufacture, shipped via frozen distribution facilities and dispensed from proprietary dispensers at their clients’ foodservice locations. Douwe Egberts’ competitive strength lies in its size, financial resources and long history in the coffee business. Despite these competitive advantages, we seek to compete on flavor delivery, operational ease of use and favorable pricing.

Nestle S. A. and Kraft Foods, Inc. have recently introduced competing liquid coffee concentrate products in the foodservice market.  These companies have significantly larger financial resources, brand awareness and existing distribution capabilities. However, we seek to compete with these companies based on product quality, pricing and the features of our dispensing systems. Even though these companies are likely to dedicate substantial resources toward the launch of their new products, we believe that any progress that converts customers from traditional roast and ground solutions and expands the market for liquid coffee concentrates is, long term, a positive development for Javo’s high quality coffee program. 

The Company's specialty iced coffee and tea beverages and beverage mixes have a small and fragmented group of direct competitors, the largest of which is Kerry Foodservice (Jet Tea®, Oregon Chai® and other brands). The Company’s iced coffee concentrates are quite unique and have no competitors that can match the programs quality, dispensing ease and concentration level. Javo’s packaged coffee and tea mixes compete broadly with a variety of syrups and powdered mixes that have traditionally been used to prepare specialty coffee drinks. Management believes that its products in this category generally offer superior coffee flavor and greater ease in preparation than its competitors.
 
Javo has no known large, direct competitors for high quality liquid coffee/tea concentrates and flavor systems. The food and beverage industry has typically relied upon heavily flavored and heat-processed ingredients from industrial suppliers. We believe that these products require the customer to sacrifice flavor quality in their finished product and that the Company's high quality, flavorful extracts work extremely well in flavoring new consumer products that are attempting to take advantage of unique, refined flavors coming out of the specialty coffee industry.

OPERATIONS

The Company operates an approximately 40,000 square foot facility in Vista, California in San Diego County, which houses all of the Company's operations including its corporate office and manufacturing infrastructure. At this facility, coffee and teas are received, roasted and ground as necessary, extracted, and finally packaged into the appropriate format. Where necessary, the Company also uses off-site distribution and storage facilities as well as third-party co-manufacturers to produce products in specialty processing and packaging formats.

During 2006, the Company continued to upgrade and expand various aspects of its manufacturing infrastructure including its extraction and liquid storage and handling systems. This effort is expected to continue during 2007 and is expected to both significantly improve product quality and expand the Company's manufacturing capacity.

The Vista facility also houses the Company's laboratory where the Company performs product design and formulation work both for its own products and for those of its customers.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Company is the owner of certain trademarks, principally Javo®, which it has registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The Company also owns its proprietary extraction processes and equipment as well as product formulas and other trade secrets that it has developed. As we rely on trade secret protection and do not use patents to protect our intellectual property, competitors could discover or independently develop similar processes, which could result in our loss of a competitive advantage.

4


GREEN COFFEE COST AND SUPPLY

The Company utilizes outside brokers for our supply of unroasted, or “green,” coffees. Coffee is the world’s second largest traded commodity and its supply and price are subject to high volatility and to cyclical swings in commodity markets, based on supply and demand. In addition, a number of other factors, such as pest damage and weather-related crop failure could cause coffee prices to climb. Typically, coffee cost increases are passed through to the customers through price increases. World production of the commercial grade coffees the Company uses is currently on the rise. The Company typically makes forward commitments to ensure timely supply and more stable pricing.

EMPLOYEES

As of January 31, 2007, the Company employs 46 full-time employees. The Company also uses outside consultants, brokers and other independent contractors from time to time. Additional employees in sales, manufacturing and other areas are planned during 2007 in response to the Company’s anticipated continued growth. None of our employees is represented by a union and we believe our employee relations to be generally good.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

The Company’s facility, operations and products are subject to various laws and regulations relating to health and safety and environmental issues. The operations of our in-house roaster are subject to various air quality and environmental laws and our products are subject to various laws and regulations to ensure food safety. While the Company believes that its operations are compliant with these laws, a finding of non-compliance could potentially interfere with the Company’s operations.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION

The Company files annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The public may read and print any materials that Javo Beverage Company files with the SEC through links to those filings on its website www.javobeverage.com, under Investor Relations - SEC Filings or directly through the SEC at www.sec.gov.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
The Company has never been profitable and may need to obtain additional funding necessary to enable it to continue to execute its business plan.
 
The Company has never been profitable and management’s current business plans rely on growth in future revenue to supplement the Company’s liquid assets. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve this additional revenue growth and/or incremental profitability and that additional capital to fund ongoing operations will be available to the Company on favorable terms, if at all. If additional funds are required and not available, the Company may be required to curtail operations or to seek funds on unfavorable terms, if additional funds are available at all.
 
The Company has a limited operating history.
 
The Company has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of its prospects can be made. The Company’s prospects must be considered speculative considering the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered in the establishment of a new business, including the risks inherent in the development of specialty products such as liquid coffee concentrates. In 2002, the Company began its transition from a largely research and development based operation into a manufacturing company and continues to expand and improve its manufacturing infrastructure. There can be no assurance that unanticipated problems will not occur that would result in material delays in future product development or that our efforts will result in successful product and service commercialization. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve profitable operations.
 
The Company may not be able to retain or hire key personnel.
 
To operate successfully and manage our potential future growth, the Company must attract and retain qualified managerial, sales, and other personnel. We face competition for and cannot assure that we will be able to attract and retain such qualified personnel. If Javo loses its key personnel or is unable to hire and retain additional qualified personnel in the future, its business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.
 
Certain terms of the Company’s securities and investor agreements could require significant cash payments by the Company in certain circumstances that could materially adversely impact the Company.
 
The Company’s senior convertible promissory notes and Series A, B and C warrants, as well as the securities purchase agreement and registration rights agreement associated with the sale of these securities, contain various provisions that protect the interests of the holders of these securities in a manner that may be adverse to our common stock holders. For example, in an event of default as defined in the notes, the Company could be required to redeem the remaining balance of the notes at a premium based on a formula that assigns a market value to the securities into which the remaining principal balance is convertible. The total cost of any such cash redemptions could be significantly higher than the actual remaining principal balance amount. In addition, other provisions provide other cash payment penalties, payments and valuation discounts in the event of failures by the Company to satisfy certain obligations, including, for example, to make timely cash payments or delivery of shares when due. The penalties under these agreements, particularly market valued redemptions of the remaining note, could materially adversely impact the Company.
 
Certain terms of the Company’s senior convertible promissory notes and common stock warrants could result in other security holders suffering potentially significant dilution.
 
The Company’s senior convertible promissory notes and Series A, B and C warrants contain terms that could result in adjustments to the conversion and exercise prices applicable to these securities. For example, assuming that the Company’s stock traded at $0.61 throughout the entire term of the note (i.e., just above the floor price at which the Company may issue shares in satisfaction of installment payments due under the note) and assuming that the Company made every principal and interest payment in shares Common Stock at the applicable 15% discount to such $0.61 price, then approximately 47,773,144 million shares of Common Stock would be issued as principal and interest payments, excluding potential issuances relating to the warrants. The exercise price of the warrants and the number of shares that can be acquired on exercise can also be adjusted if we sell shares of Common Stock at prices below certain levels. These terms of the promissory note and warrants could result in significant additional dilution to our holders of Common Stock and would not result in any additional proceeds to the Company.

6

 
The Company depends on access to commodity goods and services at competitive prices and access to co-manufactures, distributors and dispenser manufacturers. The Company also currently houses its principal manufacturing operations in one location, which would result in at least a temporary cessation of its production in the event of a catastrophic disaster.
 
As the Company grows, it must be able to obtain at competitive prices substantial amounts of certain green coffee beans and manage roasting and grinding costs. The Company’s coffee bean and roasting and grinding costs make up a large component of its overall cost of goods sold. Commodity agricultural goods such as coffee can and do experience significant fluctuations in availability and prices which could in turn cause significant interruptions in the manufacturing output and sales of the Company. Typically these additional costs are passed through to customers as price increases. Additionally, the Company uses the services of outside distributors and dispenser manufacturers as well as contract manufacturing providers to produce certain of its products that require particular processing and manufacturing infrastructure not in place at the Company’s facility. While there are multiple providers of such services, the unanticipated cessation of the services of such providers could disrupt the Company’s production and revenues and expansion of the Company’s revenues will rely in part on the ability of these providers to accommodate growth. Moreover, the Company also currently houses its principal manufacturing operations in one location. In the event of a catastrophic disaster, such as complete destruction of the Company’s Vista plant by fire or earthquake, and particularly in light of the Company’s increasing production volume, the Company’s manufacturing operations would be at least temporarily halted during implementation of the Company’s disaster recovery plan. Such a cessation of manufacturing could materially and adversely impact the Company.
 
The Company is in a very competitive industry.
 
Competition to provide coffee products is intense and Javo expects the competition to increase. The Company competes directly with other companies that have developed and are in the process of developing products that will be competitive with the products developed and offered by the Company. There can be no assurance that other products that are functionally equivalent or similar to the Company’s products have not been developed or are not in development. We expect that there are companies or businesses that may have developed or are developing such products. There are other companies and businesses that have the expertise to do so and significant success in the marketplace could encourage them to develop and market products directly competitive with those developed and marketed by the Company. As a result of the size and breadth of certain of the Company’s competitors, such competitors have been and will be able to establish managed accounts by which they seek to gain a disproportionate share of users for their products. Such managed accounts can present significant competitive barriers to the Company. Additionally, we cannot always anticipate consumer trends, which influence demand for our products. Our future results will depend, in part, upon our ability to develop and offer products that capture the opportunities within these trends. There is no assurance that consumers will continue to purchase our products in the future or that we will be able to anticipate market demands or trends. We also may be unable to penetrate new markets. If our revenues decline for any of these reasons, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.
 
The Company relies on a relatively new and proprietary extraction process.
 
The Company has developed what management believes is a new and novel method of extracting roasted, ground coffee and tea into a liquid concentrate. The Company also believes that it derives a competitive advantage versus other liquid concentrate manufacturers from the quality of concentrate that this process produces. The Company currently relies on trade secret protection to prevent others from using this process. Trade secret protection is only as effective as the Company’s ability to keep the essential and material aspects of its process secret using contractual and physical measures. There is no guarantee that the Company’s efforts in this regard can or will prevent a competitor from obtaining the Company’s secrets or from independently developing the same or similar process.
 
The Company is subject to various laws and regulations and from time to time may be party to litigation with third parties. The violation of such applicable laws and regulations or the unfavorable outcome of such litigation could materially and adversely affect the Company.
 
The manufacture, sale and distribution of our products is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations. Our status as a reporting public company subjects us to various laws and regulations and we are subject to various accounting, tax and other laws and regulations. New laws and regulations may also be instituted in the future that apply to the Company. Failure to comply with such laws can result in fines and other penalties. For example, if a regulatory authority deemed that a product or production run was not in compliance with applicable laws or regulations, the Company could be fined or may have to institute a recall of such product. The application of new laws and regulations and fines and other penalties relating to noncompliance with laws and regulations could adversely affect our financial condition and operations. Moreover, the Company could be party to litigation, whether based on contract claims, product liability or otherwise that could result in significant liability for the Company and adversely affect our financial condition and operations.

7

 
Trading volume in the Company’s securities is limited and sporadic.
 
The Company’s Common Stock is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the trading symbol “JAVO.” While currently there is an existing limited and sporadic public trading market for the Company’s securities, the price paid for the Company’s Common Stock on the Over the Counter market and the amount of stock traded are volatile. There can be no assurance that these markets will improve in the future.

Volatility of Stock Price.
 
Our Common Stock price has experienced and is likely to experience significant price and volume fluctuation in the future. Such fluctuations could adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition we believe factors such as the ability to generate sales as well as other factors could cause the price of the Company’s Common Stock to fluctuate significantly.
 
Additional capital funding to impair value of investment.
 
If we expand more rapidly than currently anticipated or if our working capital needs exceed our current expectations, we may need to raise additional capital through public or private equity offerings or debt financings. Our future capital requirements depend on many factors including our research, development, sales and marketing activities. We do not know whether additional financing will be available when needed, or will be available on terms favorable to us. If we cannot raise needed funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to develop or enhance our products, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution and the new equity securities may have greater rights, preferences or privileges than our existing Common Stock.
 
The Company has not paid dividends to its stockholders in the past and does not anticipate paying dividends to its stockholders in the foreseeable future.
 
The Company has not declared or paid cash dividends on its Common Stock. The Company presently intends to retain all future earnings, if any, to fund the operation of its business, and therefore the Company does not anticipate paying dividends on Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

REVENUES

For 2006, the Company achieved record revenues of $10.3 million, an increase of $4.1 million or 67% over 2005. The Company increased sales in each of its product categories: hot-dispensed, iced-dispensed, syrups and mixes and ingredients.

For 2005, the Company had revenues of $6.2 million, an increase of $4.1 million or 197.5% over 2004. The Company increased sales of its hot-dispensed, mixes and syrups and ingredients products and added iced-dispensed products with the addition of 7-Eleven as a customer.

During 2006 and 2005, the Company significantly expanded national distribution of its dispensed hot and new iced coffee concentrates with the notable additions of distributors Gordon Foodservice, Shamrock Foodservice, Coremark, and McLane. The Company now sells its products nationally. The Company also expanded its presence as a coffee choice for group purchasing organizations such as Foodbuy, Amerinet and HPSI among others. In addition, the Company sells coffee and tea concentrates to several major consumer packaged goods companies that have introduced coffee or tea flavored ice creams and beverages.

The Company anticipates continued significant growth in its revenues in 2007 as it rolls out its products to foodservice chains, continues to add national and international distribution, expands sales of its dispensed iced coffee and tea beverages to convenience stores and quick service restaurants and increases sales of bulk coffee and tea extracts to consumer product companies and flavor houses. The Company expects accelerated growth in iced dispensed sales as several major convenience store chains rollout its product line to additional stores. These iced dispensed sales are anticipated to be concentrated in the spring, summer and early fall months.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

Research and development expenses were $306,065 in 2006 compared to $117,135 in 2005, an increase of $188,930 or 161.3%. The increase in research and development expense was primarily due to the addition of staff and an increase in costs related to the development of new products and flavors.

Research and development expenses were $117,135 in 2005 compared to $433,523 in 2004, a reduction of $316,388 or 73%. The reduction in research and development expense was primarily due to lower overall costs as products under development in 2004 were commercialized in 2005.

The Company anticipates an increase in research and development costs in 2007 as it continues to identify and develop additional and varied products around its extracts to fill customer needs.
 
SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES

Selling and marketing expenses for 2006 were $2.41 million compared to $1.26 million in 2005, or an increase of 91.3%. These increases were the result of increased sales expenditures and the addition of five sales professionals with their related expenses. More specifically, approximately $580,000 of the increase was due to an increase in sales and marketing payroll expenses, $231,000 was attributable to related travel and entertainment expenses, $154,000 was attributable to increased marketing expenses, and $117,000 was attributable to expenditures on promotional materials.

Selling and marketing expenses for 2005 were $1.25 million compared to $0.96 million in 2004. The increase of $290,000 or 30.2% is primarily attributed to the increase in marketing and promotion of $252,000, increase in payroll expenses of $70,000, increase in travel and entertainment of $35,000, offset by the reduction in other expenses of $74,000. These increases include the additional variable commission and marketing allowance due to greater sales and the cost of identifying and developing further national distribution opportunities.

The Company anticipates the sales and marketing costs in 2007 will increase in proportion to its increased sales and planned additional sales staff. The Company added five sales persons in 2006 and anticipates adding nine sales persons in 2007. The additional sales staff is expected to enable the Company to expand regional and national sales opportunities.

14


GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses for 2006 were $3.23 million compared to $2.69 million in 2005. The increase of $540,000 or 20.2% was primarily due to an increase in warehouse overhead such as payroll and repairs and maintenance of $173,000, an increase in reserve for doubtful accounts of $150,000, an increase in finance and accounting expenses for payroll and outside accounting fees of $126,000 and an increase in other overhead expenses of $91,000. These cost increases were due to expansion of basic staff and services and increases in costs for legal, auditors, internal control consultants and improved insurance coverage’s reflecting the growth in its sales.

General and administrative expenses for 2005 were $2.69 million compared to $2.21 million in 2004. The increase of $478,000 or 21.7% was primarily due to an increase in overhead expenses of $240,000, increase in warehouse expenses such as payroll and repairs and maintenance of $74,000, increase in bad debt allowance of $131,000 and an increase in finance and accounting expenses for payroll and outside accounting fees of $33,000. These cost increases were primarily due to expansion of basic staff and services commensurate with the Company’s expanding sales.
 
The Company anticipates that general and administration expenses will continue to increase in 2007. It anticipates further additions to its accounting and administrative staff as sales continue to grow and anticipates that documentation and related expenses coming from Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance requirements will also increase in 2007. In addition, the Company expects increases in costs for general liability and directors and officers insurance and investor relations programs.

OTHER INCOME/EXPENSES

Other income/expenses were $7.12 million in 2006 compared to $2.81 million in 2005. The increase in other income/expenses of $4.31 million or 153.4% was primarily due to (i) a one-time expense of $5.39 million taken in connection with the conversion of a promissory notes in the principal amount of $13,750,000, offset by a reduction in interest expense of $0.69 million and (ii) a non-cash derivative income of $0.4 million taken in connection with the Company’s issuance of $21 million of senior convertible debt and related warrants.

Other income/expenses were $2.81 million in 2005 compared to $1.93 million in 2004. The increase in other income/expenses of $879,000 or 45.5% was primarily attributable to an increase in the non-cash interest expense for discount amortization for the Company’s promissory notes and its related accrued interest period over period.

The Company’s net other income/expenses will be affected significantly and unpredictably by the market price of its Common Stock because it is required under ETIF 00-19 to account for the warrants issued in connection with the Company’s senior convertible debt as derivative liabilities. The Company is required to revalue these warrants at the end of each reporting period. The Company is then required to record the periodic change in value as either non-cash derivative income (if the value of the warrants decreases) or as non-cash derivative expense (if the value of the warrants increases). Although the value of the warrants is affected by interest rates and the Company’s stock volatility, the primary cause of the change in the value of the warrants will be the value of the Company’s Common Stock. If the stock price goes up, the value of the warrants will generally increase and if the stock price goes down the value of the warrants will generally decrease. If these warrants were to be exercised in full, the Company would receive proceeds of approximately $15.0 million.

The Company net other income/expenses in 2007 will include non-cash interest expense for accretion of the debt discount recorded in connection with its $21 million senior convertible debt. For 2007, the aggregate amount of this expense is expected to be $4.5 million, which will be expensed as follows in each of the four fiscal quarters: $1,121,658, $1,152,861, $1,133,196 and $1,089,015 in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters, respectively.

15


NET LOSS

The net loss for the Company for 2006 was $9.94 million compared to $4.84 million in 2005, an increase in loss of $5.10 million or 105.4%. The increase in loss was primarily due to one-time charges of $5.39 million taken in connection with the conversion of promissory notes in the principal amount of $13.75 million.

The net loss for the Company for 2005 was $4,844,149 compared to $4,854,537 in 2004, a decrease of $10,388 or 0.2%. The nominal decrease was primarily due to the significant increase in gross profit of $1,331,552, offset by additional operating expense of $353,267 and increased non-cash amortization of debt discount of $870,545.

The Company anticipates its net loss will decrease substantially in 2007 due to an anticipated increase in gross revenues, related increase in gross profit and relatively stable research and development and general and administrative expenses, notwithstanding significant planned increases in sales and marketing expenses. The Company’s other income expense for 2007 will be unpredictable due to the liability accounting for the warrants issued in connection with the issuance of $21 million of senior convertible debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations each year since inception through December 31, 2006; it has an accumulated deficit of $40.3 million and has consumed cash from operations and financing in excess of $19 million. It has financed operations since inception primarily through capital contributions, related-party loans, and private-placements of its Common Stock and debt offerings. The Company received net offering proceeds of approximately $19 million from the issuance of $21 million of principal value of senior convertible debt in December 2006. The Company anticipates that its current cash and cash equivalents, as well as expected cash flows from anticipated increased sales and gross profits in 2007, will provide adequate capital to fund operations, sales growth and any required capital expenditures needs through the Company's cash flow breakeven.

The Company has a working capital line of credit with a banking institution that is secured by certain trade accounts receivable and certain coffee and finished goods inventory. The facility provides up to $3 million in working capital depending on the borrowing base at the present time. This facility currently has an outstanding balance of $713,000. The debt is current and the Company is in the process of resolving a technical violation of a debt covenant. The interest rate on the facility is bank prime.

The Company used $1,935,803 in cash and cash equivalents in operating activities in 2006, versus $2,721,195 and $2,447,654 respectively in 2005 and 2004. The decrease in use of cash in operating activities in 2006 is the result of increase gross profit partially offset by increased overall operating expenses and supplemented by a reduction in year-end inventories. The increase in use of cash in operating activities in 2005 of $273,541 is primarily the result of increased inventories necessary as the Company’s sales increased. The 2005 operating cash activities were primarily funded by an increase in trade payables, additional net long-term debt of $1,355,000 and the Company’s cash reserves.

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 maybe be achieved for the full fiscal year. The Company anticipates significant growth in sales of its iced dispensed products in 2007. These sales are expected to be greater in the spring, summer and early fall, therefore the Company anticipates greater seasonality in its gross revenue and operating results.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable.
 
Concentration of credit risk with respect to cash and cash equivalent is the result of the Company having $18.4 million in three separate financial institutions. The invested funds are in cash bank accounts, bank money market accounts and cash reserve funds. The cash or cash equivalent investment are liquid and the Company can access all funds with 3 days or less notice. The Company funds are in large financial institutions with less than $300,000 not covered by insurance. The Company does not believe that it is subject to any unusual credit or market risk.
 
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables has decreased as the Company continues to diversify its customer base. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers. At December 31, 2006, the Company had three customers whose balances approximated 37.6% of gross accounts receivable. No other customer balance exceeded 10% of gross accounts receivable.
 
Revenue Recognition

Revenue from coffee products is recognized upon shipment of product. Estimated returns and allowances are accrued at the time of sale.

Shipping and Handling Charges

The Company records shipping and handling charges, which are invoiced to customers with actual shipping and handling costs recorded as part of its cost of goods sold in the Statement of Operations.

Advertising Costs

Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotional expenses were $707,916, $271,394 and $72,240 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Advertising expense include marketing allowances and promotional materials.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

17


Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109. "Accounting for Income Taxes," whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between bases used for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

On July 2006, FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“Fin 48”) was issued. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. It also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FIN 48 on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123(R), Share-based Payments, on January 1, 2006. Accordingly, 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). The Company has no outstanding employee options or share-based payment awards with market or performance conditions. The implementation of SFAS 123(R) did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Quantifying Misstatements

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB No. 108”), which provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB No.108 requires registrants to quantify misstatement using both the balance sheet and income statement approaches and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material based on relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. This guidance is effective for the first fiscal period ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Loss per Share

Basic EPS is computed as net loss divided by weighted average shares outstanding. The potential shares that can be issued total 19,311,721 and 384,031 respectively at December 31, 2006 and 2005. The potential shares to be issued related to the senior convertible debt is calculated based on the stated conversion price of $1.79 per shares.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit and highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. As of December 31, 2006, the company funds were on deposit at three financial institutions.

18


Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded on shipment of products to customers and generally due net 30 days. The trade receivables are not collateralized and interest is not accrued on past due accounts. Periodically, management reviews the adequacy of its provision for doubtful accounts based on historical bad debt expense results and current economic conditions using factors based on the aging of its accounts receivable. Additionally, the Company may identify additional allowance requirements based on indications that a specific customer may be experiencing financial difficulties. Actual bad debt results could differ materially from these estimates.

Inventory

Inventories consist principally of raw materials and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method over three to seven years. Additions are capitalized when acquired. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred.

Reclassifications

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

Fair Value Measurements
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” The Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and does not require any new fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The Statement is effective for the fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is assessing SFAS No. 157 and has not determined the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its results of operations or financial position.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“Fin 48”) was issued. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. It also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FIN 48 on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB No. 108”), which provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment.

The adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” The Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and does not require any new fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for the first fiscal period ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

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, Baker, Knapp, Rielly, Hackett, and Solomon 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 has agreed to acquire, as needed, up to $2,000,000 worth of liquid dispensers, which will then be rented to the Company on terms that the Company believes to be 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. As of December 31, 2006, the LLC had purchased 758 dispensers at a cost of $1,744,000. The Company has rented these machines from the LLC and had incurred a dispenser rental expense of $73,291 and $370,791 in 2005 and 2006, respectively.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in commodity prices and our ability to pass along those cost increases through customer price increases. We do not use financial instruments or commodity contracts in hedging transactions or for trading purposes, although we do buy futures contracts to mitigate against these risks, as described below.

Green coffee prices are subject to substantial price fluctuations due to various factors including weather, political and economic conditions in coffee-producing countries. Our gross profit margins can be impacted by changes in the price of green coffee. We enter into commitments with coffee brokers to purchase, on a forward-looking basis, commercial grade coffees, which gives us significant flexibility in selecting the date of the market price and timing of delivery. Depending on our demand and the condition of the coffee markets, we will generally make commitments for one to six months ahead; as of December 31, 2006 we had approximately $100,000 in green coffee purchase commitments.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Javo Beverage Company, Inc.
Vista, California


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Javo Beverage Company, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of Javo Beverage Company, Inc.’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Javo Beverage Company, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2006

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Organization

Javo Beverage Company, Inc., formerly La Jolla Fresh Squeezed Coffee Company, Inc., (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Delaware on June 21, 2002. In 2002, the Company merged with La Jolla Fresh Squeezed Coffee Company, Inc. ("LJCC"). LJCC was incorporated in the state of Washington on February 9, 1987. In 1998, LJCC acquired the net assets of Stephen's Coffee Company, Inc. ("SCC"). SCC was incorporated in the state of California on August 13, 1993. SCC was the operating company responsible for the development of manufacturing methods and products for distribution. Effective November 1, 1998, SCC was acquired for 1,142,500 shares of common stock representing approximately 9% of the outstanding voting stock of LJCC in exchange for the common stock of SCC. The LJCC's sales during 2001 were primarily of a promotional nature as it tried to find its niche in the marketplace. From August 13, 1993 to December 31, 2001, the Company was a development stage enterprise. After the merger of LJCC into the Company, the Company exited the development stage as it began to generate commercial revenues.

Nature of Operations

The Company is a manufacturer of coffee and tea concentrates, extracts, and beverages serving the foodservice, food and beverage manufacturing, and retail industries. For foodservice operators, Javo combines great tasting coffees, teas and specialty beverages with the added convenience and efficiency of dispenser-based systems. For food and beverage processors and retailers looking for authentic coffee and tea flavor for their packaged foods and ready-to-drink beverages, Javo supplies customized beverage formulations, extracts and flavors.

Restatement

The Cash Flow Statement for 2004 has been corrected for a classification error inadvertently reported in the amended 10KSB for 2004. The depreciation and amortization expense previously reported was $690,904 and should have been $1,353,890. The issuance of stock for compensation previously reported was $883,900 and should have been $220,194. The Cash Flow Statement for 2004 has been corrected in this report.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable.
 
Concentration of credit risk with respect to cash and cash equivalent is the result of the Company having $18.4 million in three separate financial institutions. The invested funds are in cash bank accounts, bank money market accounts and cash reserve funds. The cash or cash equivalent investment are liquid and the Company can access all funds with 3 days or less notice. The Company funds are in large financial institutions with less than $300,000 not covered by insurance. The Company does not believe that it is subject to any unusual credit or market risk.
 
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables has decreased as the Company continues to diversify its customer base. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers. At December 31, 2006, the Company had three customers whose balances approximated 20.0%, 8.9%, and 8.8% of gross accounts receivable. No other customer balance exceeded 10% of gross accounts receivable.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from coffee products is recognized upon shipment of product. Estimated returns and allowances are accrued at the time of sale.

Shipping and Handling Charges

The Company records shipping and handling charges, which are invoiced to customers with actual shipping and handling costs recorded as part of its cost of goods sold in the Statement of Operations.

Advertising Costs

Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotional expenses were $707,916, $271,394 and $72,240 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109. "Accounting for Income Taxes," whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between bases used for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

On July 2006, FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“Fin 48”) was issued. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. It also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FIN 48 on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123(R), Share-based Payments, on January 1, 2006. Accordingly, 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). The Company has no outstanding employee options or share-based payment awards with market or performance conditions. The implementation of SFAS 123(R) did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Quantifying Misstatements

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB No. 108”), which provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB No.108 requires registrants to quantify misstatement using both the balance sheet and income statement approaches and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material based on relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. This guidance is effective for the first fiscal period ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Loss per Share

Basic EPS is computed as net loss is based on weighted average shares outstanding. The potential common shares that can be issued total 19,311,721 at December 31, 2006, 384,031 at December 31, 2005 and 3,269,131 December 31, 2004. The number of potential shares to be issued at December 31, 2006 related to the senior convertible debt is calculated based on the stated conversion price of $1.79 per share.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds which are carried at cost, plus accrued interest, which approximates market. The Company does not believe that it is subject to any unusual credit or market risk.

Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded on shipment of products to customers and are generally due net 30 days. The trade receivable are not collateralized and interest is not accrued on past due accounts. Periodically, management reviews the adequacy of its provision for doubtful accounts based on historical bad debt expense results and current economic conditions using factors based on the aging of its accounts receivable. Additionally, the Company may identify additional allowance requirements based on indications that a specific customer may be experiencing financial difficulties. Actual bad debt results could differ materially from these estimates.

Inventory

Inventories consist principally of raw materials and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method over three to seven years. Additions are capitalized when acquired. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred.

Reclassifications

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

Fair Value Measurements
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” The Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and does not require any new fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The Statement is effective for the fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is assessing SFAS No. 157 and has not determined the impact of its the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have its results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 3. MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND VENDORS

The Company purchases certain products from five suppliers, which accounted for approximately 62%, 60% and 65% of total purchases in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Management does not believe that the loss of these suppliers could have a severe impact on the result of operations since the Company has identified available products at other vendors.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company had sales to three major customers, which accounted for 19%, 14% and 10% of sales in 2006, 19%, 15% and 11% of sales in 2005 and 21%, 17% and 15% of sales in 2004, respectively. The Company expanded its customer base in 2006 and anticipates that sales in 2007 will be to a broader base of customers and it will be less reliant on any one customer.

NOTE 8. WORKING CAPITAL LINE OF CREDIT

The Company entered into a working capital line of credit agreement on September 26, 2006, with a bank to provide a loan of up to $3,000,000, secured by the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory. The term of the loan is one year and carries an annual interest rate of Comerica prime rate or 8.25% as of December 31, 2006. The available working capital loan amount is based on 75% of eligible accounts receivable and 40% of eligible inventories. Eligible accounts receivables are generally described as those due within thirty days or less from the date of invoice for products sales that have been validly assigned to the bank. Eligible accounts receivable specifically exclude foreign sales, receivables for sales that are not final and related party receivables. Eligible inventories are generally described as raw materials in saleable form and finished goods inventory that have been validly assigned to the bank. Eligible inventory specifically excludes supplies, packaging and work-in-process. The bank retains the discretion from time-to-time to define what qualifies as eligible accounts receivable and inventories. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had a $713,000 loan balance and available credit of $252,700. The debt is current and the Company is in the process of resolving a technical violation of a debt covenant. The working capital line of credit matures on September 25, 2007, unless renewed.

NOTE 9. LONG-TERM DEBT

On April 11, 2002, the Company issued $5,000,000 in promissory notes bearing 10% interest per year, which mature on April 11, 2007. The proceeds of this funding paid off a prior loan commitment and provided the Company with working capital to begin operations. In connection with these promissory notes, the Company issued 30,000,000 shares of its restricted common stock and paid a 10% loan cost totaling $500,000. The Company determined that per APBO No. 14 the note holders had effectively purchased the 30,000,000 shares of restricted Common Stock for $2,910,973 and had paid $2,089,027 for the debt, based on the relative fair values of the respective equity and debt instruments issued. Accordingly, a $2,910,973 debt discount was recognized on the $5,000,000 principal value of the promissory notes, which is being amortized over the five-year life of the debt. This accounting makes the effective compound interest rate on the notes approximately 25% over the term of the debt. Of the $5,000,000 in promissory notes $4,500,000 plus related accrued interest were converted to Series B Preferred Stock in 2006.

NOTE 9. LONG-TERM DEBT (continued)

In 2003, the Company issued $6,000,000 in promissory notes bearing 10% interest per year, which mature in 2008. The proceeds of this funding provided the Company with working capital to continue operations. In connection with these promissory notes, the Company issued 36,000,000 shares of its restricted common stock and paid loan costs totaling $313,550. The Company determined per APBO No. 14, the note holders had effectively purchased the 36,000,000 shares of restricted Common Stock for $3,365,486 and had paid $2,634,534 for the debt, based on the relative fair values of the respective equity and debt instruments issued. Accordingly, a $3,365,486 debt discount was recognized on the $6,000,000 principal value of the promissory notes, which is being amortized over the five-year life of the debt. This accounting makes the effective compound interest rate on the notes approximately 25% over the life of the debt. Of the $6,000,000 in promissory notes, $5,775,000 plus related accrued interest were converted to Series B Preferred Stock in 2006.

In 2004, the Company issued $2,250,000 in promissory notes bearing 10% interest per year, which mature in 2009. The proceeds of this funding provided the Company with working capital to continue operations. In connection with these promissory notes, the Company issued 6,750,000 shares of common stock and incurred loan costs totaling $225,000. The Company determined that per APBO No. 14 the note holders had effectively purchased the 6,750,000 shares of restricted Common Stock for $1,518,914 and had paid $1,181,086 for the debt, based on the relative fair values of the respective equity and debt instruments issued. Accordingly, a $1,518,914 debt discount was recognized on the $2,700,000 principal value of the promissory notes, which is being amortized over the five-year life of the debt. This accounting makes the effective compound interest rate on the notes approximately 25% over the life of the debt. All of the $2,250,000 in promissory notes plus accrued interest were converted to Series B Preferred Stock in 2006.

In June 2005, the Company issued $1,000,000 in promissory notes bearing 10% interest per year, which mature in 2010. The proceeds of this funding provided the Company with working capital to continue operations. In connection with these promissory notes, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of its restricted Common Stock and incurred loan costs totaling $50,000. The Company determined that per APBO No. 14 the note holders had effectively purchased the 3,000,000 shares of restricted common stock for $538,003 and had paid $461,997 for the debt, based on the relative fair values of the respective equity and debt instruments issued. Accordingly, a $538,003 debt discount was recognized on the $1,000,000 principal value of the promissory notes, which is being amortized over the five-year life of the debt. This accounting makes the effective compound interest rate on the notes approximately 25% over the life of the debt. All but $25,000 of the $1,000,000 in plus related accrued interest were converted to Series B Preferred Stock in 2006.

In December 2006, the Company issued $21,000,003 in Senior Convertible Debt. The Senior Convertible Debt bears annual interest at 6.95% per annum based on a 360 day year. The debt agreement provides for quarterly interest payments starting April 1, 2007 and fifty-four equal monthly principal payments of $388,889 starting May 1, 2007. At the Company’s option, the interest and principal payments may be paid in either cash or in registered Common Stock valued at a 12% discount to the volume weighted average stock price for the 20 trading days following the due date (the “VWAP”), if the VWAP is over $1.00 per share. If the VWAP stock price is more than $0.60 and less than $1.00 per share, then the principal payments at the Company’s option may be paid in registered Common Stock valued at a 15% discount to the VWAP. At no time will the conversion value of the registered shares used for payment of the debt exceed $1.79 per share. If the VWAP stock price is $0.60 or less, then the Company will be required to pay the interest and principal payments in cash. The investors may elect at any time to convert any or all the debt to registered shares at a value based on $1.79 per share. The Senior Convertible Debt is a complex instrument requiring the Company to strictly adhere to certain notifications and payments schedules or be in default under its provisions. If an event of default occurs under the debt, the debt will bear interest at a rate of 15% for so long as the default continues. See the Senior Convertible Debt agreement attached to the Company’s 8-K filed on December 18, 2006 for further details. The fair value of the Senior Convertible Debt with out the beneficial conversion feature was determined by first determining the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the transaction and allocating the remainder of net proceeds to the debt. The allocation to the debt was $13,062,911 before expenses paid to third parties. The Company recorded a debt discount of $9,767,431 which is accreted at an interest rate of approximately 26.9% over the life of the senior convertible debt as interest expense.

NOTE 9. LONG-TERM DEBT (continued)

In connection with the Senior Convertible Debt, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 6,644,554 of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company issued Series A Warrants for 3,519,555 common shares at a strike price of $1.95 per share and Series B Warrants for 3,124,999 at a strike price of $2.24 per share. Any or all of the warrants maybe exercised any time between June 2007 and December 2011. The Company would receive gross proceeds of $13,863,130 if these warrants were exercised in full at their current strike prices. The A and B Warrant agreements are identical except for the strike price. These warrants were valued at the time of issuance using the Black-Scholes option valuation, which resulted in a fair value of $3,906,076 for the A Warrants and $3,406,249 for the B Warrants, representing a total fair value of these warrants of $7,312,955 as of December 15, 2006. Because the warrants provide for a strike price reset if the Company issues stock at a price less than the defined exercise price, the Company was required under ETIF 00-19 to use liability accounting for the warrants. The fair value of the A and B warrants of $7,312,955 was recorded as to warrant liability. In connection with the issuance of the Senior Convertible Debt, the Company also issued Series C Warrants for the purchase of 11,731,844 at a strike price of $1.79 per share. These warrants only become exercisable if and to the extent the Company exercises its option to pre-pay part or all of the Senior Convertible Debt.

Cowen and Co., LLC acted as exclusive private placement agent for the Senior Convertible Debt offering and was paid a fee of $1,470,000 in cash. In addition, the Company reimbursed Cowen for its out-of-pocket expenses and issued Cowen Conversion Share Warrant to purchase 351,955 shares of Common Stock with a strike price of $1.79 per share, Series A Warrants to purchase 105,583 shares of Common Stock with a strike price of $1.95 per share and Series B Warrants to purchase 93,750 shares of Common Stock with a strike price of $2.24. The warrants are the same terms as other warrants issued in connection the Senior Convertible Debt with the exception of the strike prices. The fair value of $624,137 for these warrants was determined using Black-Scholes in the same manner as the warrants issued to the investors. The Company recorded the $624,137 as a warrant liability as of the closing.

In addition to the above, the Senior Convertible debt was determined to have a beneficial conversion feature due to anticipated conversion of the debt principal to Common Stock at a discount to market if the stock price at time of conversion was between $0.60 and $1.79. The fair value of this beneficial conversion feature was determined to be $4,065,583 at the closing of the debt transaction. The fair value was determined by dividing the Conversion Price of $1.79 into the total debt to get the Conversion Shares of 11,731,844 and multiplying the number of conversion shares times the VWAP stock price at closing of $1.46 to get a determined debt value of $17,128,492. Comparing this with the determined debt value of $13,062,912, the resulting value of the beneficial conversion feature was determined to be $4,065,583. This value of this beneficial conversion feature was recorded as an additional discount to the debt and an addition to paid-in-capital as of the closing of the transaction. The beneficial conversion feature discount will be accreted to decrease the Beneficial Conversion Feature (BCF) Discount and to record an Other Expense over the period of the note using an effective interest rate of approximately 8.6%.

In connection with the issuance of the Senior Convertible Debt, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement that required it file for registration of a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to allow full conversion of the principal and interest payments and exercise of the warrants. On January 11, 2007 the Company filed an S-3 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company is to use its best efforts to have this registration statement declared effective by May 14, 2007. If the registration statement is not declared effective by that time, the Company will be in default under the terms of the agreement and it will be subject to a penalty 1% of the debt per month, with a maximum penalty of up to 10% of the total amount of the debt.

The Company determined that all the Conversion Share, A and B Warrants issued in connection with the Senior Convertible Debt were to be accounted for as derivative liabilities. This accounting treatment requires the Company value the warrants at the end of each reporting period and record the change in value (mark-to-market) as an increase or decrease in warrant liability through a charge to other income or expense. As of December 31, 2006, the Company determined, using Black-Scholes,that the fair value of the warrants had declined by $404,721. Accordingly, the Company recorded a corresponding current-period “other derivative income” and recorded a reduction in warrant liability for that amount as of December 31, 2006.

The LLC has agreed to acquire, as needed, up to $2,000,000 worth of liquid dispensers, which are then be rented to the Company on terms that the Company believes to be arm’s length and no less favorable that 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.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Not applicable.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and the aid of an outside consultant, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2006. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting did identify certain significant deficiencies some of which rose to the level of material weaknesses. However, we believe that the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K correctly present our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the fiscal years.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management evaluates the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting using criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. During this evaluation, the Company identified certain significant deficiencies in its internal control over financial reporting.

These significant deficiencies, some of which rose to the level of material weaknesses, included:

Receivables: The Company’s internal accounting software allowed the same person to input and post receivable transactions. In addition, the software did not allow timely identification of customer discounts and allowances to be reflected in the reporting of accounts receivable.

Payables: The Company’s controls over the approval and the requirement to have supporting documentation accompanying all disbursements were not operating effectively.

Inventory: The Company installed a new component to its inventory software system and was developing the processes to test and monitor proper tracking of inventory quantities and values as of December 31, 2006.

Adjusting journal entries: The Company had an informal process for fully documenting and retaining evidence of approval and support for adjusting journal entries.

IT environment: The Company’s information technology control systems were informal in nature. This environment is lacking segregation of duties, formal security policies and the Company had not yet tested recovery of critical financial data.

Account analyses, account summaries and account reconciliations: Certain controls designed to ensure timely performance, review and approval of certain account analyses did not operate effectively.

23


Controls at the entity level: As evidenced by the significant deficiencies some of which rose to the level of material weaknesses described above, the Company determined that entity-level controls related to the control environment, risk assessment, monitoring function and dissemination of information and communication activities did not operate effectively. Such entity level controls, and a comprehensive process of monitoring of internal controls, are part of the framework to ensure that that the designed system of internal control is operating effectively to ensure that significant transactions are adequately identified, recorded and disclosed.
 

While the Company identified certain other deficiencies in its internal control over financial reporting, it does not believe they constitute significant deficiencies or material weaknesses.

The Company has taken steps and continues to make changes in its internal control and procedures to correct and remediate the deficiencies it identified during its assessment.

 Changes in Internal Contol over Financial Reporting

The Company made several changes in its internal control over financial reporting in the fourth quarter of 2006 and into the first quarter of 2007 to remediate and correct identified significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in its internal control and procedures. These changes primarily involved further separation of duties in the control processes, adding additional review steps in certain processes, formalization and retention of written documentation of control, review and approval processes, and additional training of personnel involved in the financial processes and realignment of certain access rights by position within its accounting and information systems.

These changes in internal control over financial reporting to improve internal controls and remediate the identified significant deficiencies and material weaknesses included:

Receivables: The Company has added personnel and reassigned inputting and posting responsibilities and instituted a better system to more accurately and timely reflect receivables with known discounts at the time of customer invoice for more timely and accurate reporting.

Payables: The Company revised its buying and receiving processes to insure that written documentation was maintained with document approval processes for all purchases and expenses.

Inventory: The Company tightened internal control over its inventory counts and improved verification and valuation processes. In addition it began and continues additional testing and monitoring of its inventory software system.

Adjusting journal entries: The Company implemented a formal process to retain and document the approval and support for adjusting journal entries.

IT environment: The Company is in the process of formalizing its information technology systems to insure that proper separation of duties has been provided and is maintained, and that formal security policies are established and maintained. In addition, the Company is currently planning to do a formal test of the recovery of critical financial data in the second quarter of 2007.

Account analyses, account summaries and account reconciliations: The Company has and continues to formalize its processes to insure that account analyses, account summaries and account reconciliations are performed and reviewed and approved in a timely manner.

Controls at the Entity Level: The Company has taken additional actions to remediate the issues previously identified with respect to our ineffective controls at the entity level. The Company has engaged a consultant to help it improve system controls and to insure that they will meet the requirements under COSO. Consultants from the IT Systems provider will be engaged to perform further review of our current usage of our system, and the cost benefits of any proposed upgrades that are available.

24


The Company management has and continues to take action to correct the known deficiencies and it plans to remain vigilant and to add additional staff and system improvements, as needed, to ensure that its internal control over financial reporting is effective. These efforts include formalizing the assessment process by identifying and scheduling periodic internal testing of the various systems and process involved in its internal control over financial reporting.

The Company’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and the Company’s financial statements have been audited by Farber Hass Hurley & McEwen LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, which was given unrestricted access to all financial records and related data, including minutes of all meetings of shareholders and members of the Board of Directors. The independent registered public accounting firm’s report is presented on page 35.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater-than-10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all reports filed under Section 16(a). To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on the review of copies of the reports furnished to the Company, reports required to be filed by our executive officers, directors and greater-than-10% shareholders were timely filed, other than three reports on Form 4 that were filed late on behalf of Richard Specter reporting purchases of our Common Stock.

Corporate Governance

The Company does not have a standing audit, nominating or compensation committee. As a small company, we believe that all of our directors acting together, as opposed to a subset of them acting by means of a committee, is the most efficient and effective framework for us to perform the functions otherwise associated with audit, nominating and compensation committees.

Since we do not have a nominating committee, all of the members of the Board of Directors participate in the consideration of director nominees. The Board of Directors has determined that all of the members of the Board of Directors, with the exception of Cody C. Ashwell, are independent under the independence standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market. We do not currently have a written nominating committee charter or similar document.

The Company’s Board of Directors may employ a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating director nominees. If vacancies are anticipated or arise, our Board of Directors considers various potential candidates that may come to our attention through current board members, professional search firms, stockholders or other persons. These candidates may be evaluated by our Board of Directors at any time during the year.

The Company’s Board of Directors considers candidates recommended by stockholders when the nominations are properly submitted as described below. Following verification of the stockholder status of persons proposing candidates, our Board of Directors will make an initial analysis of the qualifications of any candidate recommended by stockholders or others pursuant to the criteria summarized herein to determine whether the candidate is qualified for service on the board, before deciding to undertake a complete evaluation of the candidate. If our Board of Directors determines that additional consideration is warranted, it may use a third-party search firm to gather additional information about the prospective nominee's background and experience. Other than the verification of compliance with procedures and stockholder status, and the initial analysis performed before undertaking a complete evaluation, our Board of Directors will treat a potential candidate nominated by a stockholder like any other potential candidate.

In evaluating a director candidate, the Company’s Board of Directors will review his or her qualifications including capability, availability to serve, conflicts of interest, general understanding of business, understanding of the Company's business and technology, educational and professional background, personal accomplishment and other relevant factors. Our Board of Directors has not established any specific qualification standards for director nominees, although from time to time the Board of Directors may identify certain skills or attributes as being particularly desirable to help meet specific needs that have arisen. Our Board of Directors may also interview prospective nominees in person or by telephone. After completing this evaluation, the Board of Directors will determine the nominees.

28


The Company’s Board of Directors considers director candidates recommended by stockholders. Candidates recommended by stockholders are evaluated on the same basis as are candidates recommended by our Board of Directors. Any stockholder wishing to recommend a candidate for nomination by the Board of Directors should provide the following information in a letter addressed to the Board in care of our Secretary: (i) the name and address of the stockholder recommending the person to be nominated; (ii) a representation that the stockholder is a holder beneficially or of record of our stock, including the number of shares held and the period of holding; (iii) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and the recommended nominee; (iv) information as to any plans or proposals of the type required to be disclosed in Schedule 13D and any proposals that the nominee proposes to bring to the Board of Directors if elected; (v) any other information regarding the recommended nominee that would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to Regulation 14A pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and (vi) the consent of the recommended nominee to serve as a director if elected. Additional information may be requested to assist our Board of Directors in determining the eligibility of a proposed candidate to serve as a director. In addition, the notice must meet any other requirements contained in our bylaws.

Because we do not have an audit committee, the entire Board of Directors acts as the audit committee. The Board of Directors has determined that none of its members qualify as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 401(e) of Regulation S-K of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. To date we have not been able to identify a suitable candidate for our Board of Directors who would qualify as an audit committee financial expert. We do not currently have a written audit committee charter or similar document.

The Company’s Board of Directors met five times in 2006. All of the Company’s directors attended at least 75% of the meetings held in 2006.

The Company has no formal policies regarding director attendance at the annual meeting of stockholders, although directors are encouraged to attend. None of the directors attended the 2006 annual meeting due to the delays in the timing of the meeting.

Director Independence

The Company has determined that all of the Company’s directors, other than Cody Ashwell, who serves as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, are independent. The Company has defined independence with reference to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200 and has considered known facts and circumstances, including stock ownership levels and related-party transaction, that could reasonably be expected to potentially impact independence. Although the Company is not listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Company has applied the Nasdaq independence rules to make these independence determinations.

Code of Ethics

The Company has not adopted a formal written code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Company has not adopted such a code of ethics to date due to the Company’s relatively small size and limited resources. However, the Company intends to adopt a written code of ethics in 2007.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Compensation Design and Philosophy 

The principal objective of the Company’s compensation program is to provide competitive cash compensation to attract and retain talented employees who will help grow the Company’s business. Historically, the sole compensation element has been a base salary. However, due to the Company’s limited cash resources, cash bonuses have not historically been awarded and the Company has not issued stock options so as to minimize equity dilution and to avoid the potential negative impact on the Company’s ability to raise capital in equity financing transactions.

Following the Company’s success in raising a relatively significant amount of additional operating capital in December 2006, and in light of the Company’s improving financial performance, the Company expects that it will reconsider the principal compensation elements and may begin making use of equity awards and/or cash bonuses, as appropriate. By adding these elements, the Company would seek to align the long-term financial interests of the management team with the interests of the stockholders. In fiscal 2007, the Company expects that it may form a Compensation Committee of the board and that this committee would review the design and guiding philosophy for the Company’s executive compensation practices.

Establishment of Compensation Levels

Historically, compensation levels have been established through negotiation as each executive has joined the Company, with the Company establishing the appropriate salary level through an informal survey of what are considered to be competitive levels within the Company’s industry and geographic areas and after giving due regard to internal pay parity considerations. Because the Company has historically had only limited operating capital, the Company has only increased officer salaries once since 2002. This increase was made in late 2006 for one officer in recognition of the expanded duties that this officer had undertaken. In changing this compensation level, the salary of that officer was brought up to the levels of all other officers within the organization. Currently, all of our executive officers are paid an annual base salary of $180,000. Because these salary levels are generally the levels that were negotiated upon an officer’s entry into the Company, there has not been a systematic review of comparable compensation data for our existing employees. We expect that such a review may be undertaken in 2007 if a Compensation Committee is formed as expected and that in later years a similar review would be undertaken periodically.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
 
The Company does not have a separate Compensation Committee and executive compensation decisions are made by the entire board, with the Chief Executive Officer abstaining on any proposed actions with respect to his compensation. Other than Mr. Ashwell, who serves as our Chief Executive Officer, no member of the board was, at any time during fiscal 2006, an officer or employee of the Company. There are no Board of Director interlocks between the Company and any other entities involving our executive officers and Board members who serve as executive officers or Board members of such entities.

This right of cancellation lapses or expires as to portions of these shares according to a vesting schedule thereby resulting in the issued shares vesting in the employee per the schedule. Other issuances to consultants for services have been made. See Item 5 herein generally for further details regarding these and other compensation-related issuances.


ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

On February 18, 2000, Mr. Kurt Toneys, then director and executive officer, purchased 2,850,000 shares of our Common Stock for $0.1875 per share by executing two promissory notes totaling $534,375, bearing interest at six percent per annum and due in February 2009. Mr. Toneys left the Company in August 2001. In June of 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Toneys settling all matters relating to Mr. Toneys compensation and reimbursements and the promissory notes including interest owed. Mr. Toneys surrendered 1,750,100 of the 2,212,500 shares of Common Stock he held subject to the note and retained 462,400 shares. The Company issued Mr. Toneys 2,925,100 three-year warrants at a strike price equal to his original purchase price of $0.1875 cents per share, extinguished the promissory notes, and paid him $35,000 in cash. Mr. Toneys exercised warrants for 40,000 shares in 2004 and 826,212 shares in 2005 and the remainder of the warrants expired.

During 2006 the Company converted of $13,750,000 in promissory notes plus accrued interest of $4,001,660 to 1,775,166 shares Series B Preferred Stock. The Company’s eight outside directors converted $1,550,000 plus accrued interest of $524,305 to 207,336 shares of Series B Preferred Stock or 11.7% of the total Series B Preferred Stock.

Related Party Transaction Policy

The Company does not have a formal policy for the review and approval of related-party transactions, although any such transactions involving an officer or director are required to be brought before the Board of Directors for review.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Javo Beverage Company, Inc.
Vista, California

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Javo Beverage Company, Inc. (the “Company”) did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, because of the effect of the material weaknesses identified in management’s assessment based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management’s assessment:
 
·              Ineffective controls related to the preparation of certain account analyses, account summaries and account reconciliations: Certain controls designed to ensure timely performance, review and approval of certain account analyses and reconciliations did not operate effectively. Specifically, certain reconciliations in areas including accounts receivable, accrued liabilities, other current assets, and property, plant and equipment were not performed in a timely manner. In certain circumstances the Company did not properly resolve reconciling items. These weaknesses resulted in a material adjustment to the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
·             Inadequate controls related to inventory quantities and value: The Company has recently implemented a Material Resource Planning Software system (“MRP”). The MRP system was not adequately tested and monitored to insure proper tracking of quantities and valuation as of December 31, 2006.
 
·      Ineffective controls over adjusting journal entries: The Company’s current system allows adjusting journal entries to be made to the general ledger with no evidence of approval or support justifying the propriety of the entries.
 
·              Ineffective controls over the IT environment- The Company currently has an informal system of controls for its IT environment. The current system lacks segregation of duties, has no controlling security policy, and no process in place to test the recovery of critical financial data.

35


·          Ineffective controls over the disbursements process: The Company’s controls over the approval and the requirement to have supporting documentation accompanying all disbursements were not operating effectively during the year.
 
·            Ineffective controls over access to the reporting of receivables: The Company’s internal software does not restrict access by the same person to input and post transactions. In addition, the software does not allow timely identification of customer discounts and allowances to be reflected in the reporting of its accounts receivable.
 
·             Ineffective controls at the entity level: As evidenced by the material weaknesses described above, the Company determined that entity-level controls related to the control environment, risk assessment, monitoring function and dissemination of information and communication activities did not operate effectively, resulting in material weaknesses. Such entity level controls, and a comprehensive process of monitoring of internal controls, are part of the framework to ensure that that the designed system of internal control is operating effectively to ensure that significant transactions are adequately identified, recorded and disclosed.
 
These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 of the Company and this report does not affect our report on such financial statements.
 
In our opinion, management’s assessment that Javo Beverage Company, Inc. did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO control criteria. Also, in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Javo Beverage Company, Inc. has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the COSO control criteria..
