NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Jamba, Inc. through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jamba Juice Company (“the Company”), is a global healthy lifestyle brand that inspires and simplifies healthful living, through freshly blended whole fruit and vegetable smoothies, bowls, juices cold-pressed shots boosts, snacks, and meal replacements. Jamba’s blends are made with premium ingredients free of artificial flavors and preservatives so guests can feel their best and blend the most into life. The Company’s headquarters were relocated to Frisco, Texas, from Emeryville, California, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016.

As of October 3, 2017, there were 866 Jamba Juice stores globally, consisting of 52 Company-owned and operated stores (“Company Stores”), 743 franchisee-owned and operated stores (“Franchise Stores”) in the United States and 71 Franchise Stores in international locations (“International Stores”).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation and consolidation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Jamba, Inc. have been prepared pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for Form 10-Q. The January 3, 2017 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jamba Juice Company. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications were made to the Company’s prior financial statements to conform to current year presentation. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2017.

Effect of prior period misstatements

In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 27, 2016, the Company corrected certain errors including an overstatement of expenses included within depreciation expense of approximately $0.6 million and other income, net of approximately $0.3 million, related to prior period financial statements. These adjustments was related to both the prior quarters of 2016 and prior year 2015 results. The Company determined that the corrections were neither quantitatively or qualitatively material to those periods individually and in the aggregate. In addition, these items are expected to have an immaterial impact on net income for the full 2016 fiscal year.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Preparing Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events, excluding changes resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. The Company currently has no components of comprehensive income other than net income, therefore no separate statement of comprehensive income is presented.

6

Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities, which includes outstanding options and restricted stock awards granted under the Company’s stock option plans.

Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents totaling 1.5 million and 1.8 million were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017, respectively.  Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents totaling 2.1 million and 1.9 million were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 27, 2016, respectively. Basic and diluted income (loss) per share do not differ when there is a net loss position as potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive.

Assets Held for Sale

The Company classifies assets as held for sale and suspends depreciation and amortization when approval at the appropriate level has been provided, the assets can be immediately removed from operations, an active program has begun to locate a buyer, the assets are being actively marketed for sale at or near their current fair value, significant changes to the plan of sale are not likely and the sale is probable within one year. Upon classification as held for sale, long-lived assets are no longer depreciated, and an assessment of impairment is performed to identify and expense any excess of carrying value over fair value less costs to sell. Subsequent changes to the estimated fair value less costs to sell will impact the measurement of assets held for sale. To the extent fair value increases, any impairment previously recorded is reversed. If the carrying value of the assets held for sale exceeds the fair value less costs to sell, the Company will record a loss for the amount of the excess. The Company also reclassifies the associated prior year balances for assets reclassified to assets held for sale.

If the Company decides not to sell previously classified assets held for sale, the asset is reclassified back to their original asset group. The assets are recorded at the lower of the carrying value before being classified as held for sale adjusted for depreciation that would have been recognized during the time they were classified as held for sale or fair value at the date the Company decided not to sell. In November 2016, the Company announced plans to refranchise 13 Company-owned stores in the Chicago area which was subsequently completed in the second quarter of 2017.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following instruments are not measured at fair value on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets but require disclosure of their fair values: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, notes receivable and accounts payable. The estimated fair value of such instruments, excluding notes receivable, approximates their carrying value as reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets due to their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of notes receivable approximates its carrying value due to the interest rates aligning with market rates. The fair value of such financial instruments is determined using the income approach based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The fair value of these instruments would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, with the exception of cash and cash equivalents, which would be categorized as Level 1.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Inventory

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU 2015-11 applies to inventory that is measured using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost method and requires measurement of that inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.  This pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We adopted ASU 2015-11 effective January 4, 2017 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.

Stock Compensation

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The updated guidance changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payment awards to employees, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. This standard, which was adopted in the first quarter of 2017, resulted in the recognition of previously unrecognized federal and state net operating loss carryforwards worth approximately $0.8 million, net of tax.  Management has determined that it is not more likely than not that the benefit of these deferred tax assets will be realized and has established a full

7

valuation allowance for this amount, resulting in a net zero impact to the financial statements. Additionally, the Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, and a cumulative-effect adjustment was made in the amount of $0.3 million and recorded in retained earnings as of October 3, 2017 on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Upcoming Accounting Pronouncements

The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the following pronouncements on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures:

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the effective date, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). Early adoption is permitted to the original effective date of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2016 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). The amendment guidance may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented with the option to apply practical expedients or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application.Management believes adoption of the new revenue recognition standard will primarily impact the Company’s accounting for other fees charged to franchisees as well as transactions involving its advertising fund and gift card sales. Currently the Company anticipates to adopt the new revenue standard using the modified retrospective transition approach. Management is in the process of determining the financial statement impact and currently unable to estimate the impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which will require lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of leases with terms less than 12 months) at the commencement date. The guidance will be effective for the Company beginning fiscal year 2019, with early adoption permitted. The new standard is required to be applied with a modified retrospective approach to each prior reporting period presented with various optional practical expedients. Management believes the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will materially impact the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements by significantly increasing non-current assets and non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in order to record the right of use assets and related lease liabilities for existing operating leases. Management is in the process of determining the financial statement impact and currently unable to estimate the impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.

Liabilities

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-04, Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products. The new guidance creates an exception under ASC 405-20, Liabilities-Extinguishments of Liabilities, to derecognize financial liabilities related to certain prepaid stored-value products using a revenue-like breakage model. The guidance will be effective for the Company beginning fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted. This guidance can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption.  Management is in the process of determining the financial statement impact and currently unable to estimate the impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.

Other Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has not yet adopted and does not expect the adoption of the following pronouncements to have a significant impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures:

Financial Instruments

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for the Company beginning fiscal year 2018.

8

Statement of Cash Flows

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which provides specific guidance for certain cash flow classification issues, previously not specifically addressed, including classification for debt prepayment, contingent consideration made after a business combination, insurance claim proceeds and corporate-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investees and certain other items. The guidance will be effective for the Company beginning fiscal year 2018, with early application permitted.

Stock Compensation

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments provide guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. This guidance will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted.

Intangibles

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The impairment amount will be calculated at Step 1. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. This guidance will be effective for the Company’s fourth quarter annual impairment test in fiscal year 2019, with early adoption permitted.

3. SEVERANCE AND OTHER COMPENSATION

In connection with the relocation of the Company’s headquarters from Emeryville, California to Frisco, Texas, the Company incurred severance and retention obligations. At October 3, 2017, $0.8 million of severance and $0.2 million of retention expenses are classified in accrued compensation and benefits and accounts payable, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At January 3, 2017, $1.6 million of severance and $0.8 million of retention expenses are classified in accrued compensation and benefits and accounts payable and accrued expenses, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company made severance and retention payments of $0.6 million and $2.8 million during the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017, respectively. The Company incurred additional expense related to these actions of $0.2 million and $1.4 million during the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017, respectively. The remaining severance and retention payments will be completed by the end of the second quarter in fiscal 2018.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Financial Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

• Level 1:  Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2:  Inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable.

• Level 3:  Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

Non-financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities primarily consist of long-lived assets, trademarks and other intangibles, and are reported at carrying value. They are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. Trademarks and other intangibles are evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.

9

As a result of the quarterly impairment reviews, the Company had no impairment during the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017 and recognized impairment total losses of $0.2 million and $0.4 million during the 13-week and 39-week periods endedSeptember 27, 2016, included in impairment of long-lived assets in Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The losses in fiscal year 2016 related to the impairment of fixed assets of an individual store.

5. CREDIT AGREEMENT

On November 3, 2016, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Cadence Bank, NA (“New Credit Agreement”). The New Credit Agreement provides an aggregate principal amount of up to $10.0 million. The New Credit Agreement also allows the Company to request an additional $5.0 million for an aggregate principal amount of up to $15.0 million. The New Credit Agreement accrues interest at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus 2.50% and has a five-year term. Under the terms of the New Credit Agreement, the Company is required to either maintain minimum cash or consolidated EBITDA levels and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The New Credit Agreement terminates November 3, 2021. This credit facility is subject to customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on the Company with respect to liens, indebtedness, guaranties, investments, distributions, mergers and acquisitions and dispositions of assets. The credit facility is evidenced by a revolving note made by the Company in favor of the Lender, is guaranteed by the Company and is secured by substantially all of its assets including the assets of its subsidiary and a pledge of stock of its subsidiary.

To acquire the New Credit Agreement, the Company incurred upfront fees, which are being amortized over the term of the New Credit Agreement. As of October 3, 2017, the unamortized commitment fee amount was not material and is recorded in prepaid expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017, there were no borrowings under the New Credit Agreement. As of October 3, 2017, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants to the New Credit Agreement.

6. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Jamba, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (“the Plan”) authorizes the Company to provide incentive compensation in the form of stock options (“options”), restricted stock and stock units (“RSUs”), performance based and market based shares and units (“PSUs”) and (“MBRSUs”), other stock-based and restricted stock-based awards (“RSAs”), cash-based awards and deferred compensation awards. In addition, the Company periodically authorizes grants of stock-based compensation as inducement awards to new employees. This type of award does not require shareholder approval in accordance with Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq listing rules.

Share-based compensation expense, which is included in general and administrative expenses, was $0.6 million and $1.0 million for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017, respectively, and $0.7 million and $2.4 million for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 27, 2016. At October 3, 2017, unvested share-based compensation expense for options and restricted stock awards totaled $1.5 million and will be recognized over the remaining weighted average service period of approximately one year. There was no income tax benefit related to share-based compensation expense during the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017, and September 27, 2016.

Known Events, Trends or Uncertainties Impacting or Expected to Impact Comparisons of Reported or Future Results

Management reviews and discusses its operations based on both financial and non-financial metrics. Among the key financial metrics upon which management focuses, is reviewing the performance based on the Company’s consolidated GAAP results, including Company Store comparable sales, franchise and other revenue, and income from operations. Management also uses certain supplemental, non-GAAP financial metrics in evaluating financial results, including Franchise Store comparable sales and system-wide comparable sales.

Company Store comparable sales represents the change in year-over-year sales for Company Stores opened for at least one full year. Franchise Store comparable sales, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents the change in year-over-year sales for all Franchise Stores opened for at least one full year, as reported by franchisees and excludes International Stores and Express format. System-wide comparable store sales, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents the change in year over-year sales for all Company and Franchise Stores opened for at least one full year and is based on sales by both company-owned and domestic franchise operated stores, as reported by franchisees, which are in the store base. System-wide comparable store sales do not include International Stores, JambaGO^® units and Jamba Juice Express™. Comparable store sales includes closed locations for the periods in which they have comparable sales.

15

Company-owned stores that were sold in refranchising transactions are included in the store base for each accounting period of the fiscal quarter in which the store was sold to the extent the sale is consummated at least three days prior to the end of such accounting period, but only for the days such stores have been company-owned. Thereafter, such stores are excluded from the store base until such stores have been franchise-operated for at least one full fiscal period at which point such stores are included in the store base and compared to sales in the comparable period of the prior year. Comparable store sales exclude closed locations.

We review the increase or decrease in Company Store comparable sales, Franchise Store comparable sales and system-wide comparable sales compared with the same period in the prior year to assess business trends and make certain business decisions. We believe that Franchise Store comparable sales and system-wide comparable sales data, non-GAAP financial measures, are useful in assessing the overall performance of the Jamba brand and, ultimately, the performance of the Company.

As a result of the 53-week fiscal 2016, reported 2017 comparable sales for fiscal comparisons are offset by one week.  The comparable sales calculations presented in this Form 10-Q accurately reflect the change in sales for comparable stores in the reported fiscal period. However, as a result of the one week offset, management also reviewed and previously reported comparable sales calculations on a calendar, rather than fiscal basis. Management believes this calendar comparison offers a more clear understanding of comparable sales performance of the business as it compares truly comparable time periods, rather than fiscal periods that compare periods with a one week shift.

During fiscal 2016, we underwent significant changes in our business model, leadership, key personnel, and relocation of our corporate office. These changes resulted in a significant increase in non-routine transactions and impacted certain routine processes needed to effectively accumulate and present consolidated financial results. We identified that our risk assessment process, which was intended to identify new transactions and changes to existing processes and design appropriate control activities over financial reporting, was not sufficient to prevent or detect material misstatement on a timely basis. Consequently, a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting resulted and is described in “ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.” Management has begun implementing a plan to assess risks of material misstatement over financial reporting, including the enhancement of internal control activities, and training of key process owners. Management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee has dedicated significant incremental resources to successfully implement and test effectiveness of the enhanced controls throughout fiscal 2017. G&A expenses are expected to be negatively impacted by costs in connection with the remediation plan in fiscal 2017.

Key Financial Metrics

The following table sets forth operating data that do not otherwise appear in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods indicated:

	13-Weeks Ended						39-Weeks Ended

Revenue

Total revenue is comprised of revenue from Company Stores, royalties and fees from Franchise Stores in the U.S. and from International Stores, income from JambaGO^® locations and license income from sales of Jamba-branded Consumer Packaged Goods (“CPG”) products.

The following table summarizes revenue for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

	13- Week Period Ended							39- Week Period Ended
	October 3, 2017		September 27, 2016		% Change			October 3, 2017		September 27, 2016		% Change
Revenue:
Company stores	$	11,222	$	14,350		(21.8	)%	$	35,591	$	40,177		(11.4	)%
Franchise and other revenue		6,934		7,711		(10.1	)%		20,692		22,178		(6.7	)%
Total revenue	$	18,156	$	22,061		(17.7	)%	$	56,283	$	62,355		(9.7	)%

Total revenue for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017 decreased by $3.9 million and $6.1 million, respectively, compared to the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 27, 2016. The decreases were primarily due to a decrease in the number of Company Stores for fiscal year 2017 compared to fiscal year 2016 and the exit of JambaGO^®. For the quarter ended October 3, 2017, we owned 52 Company Stores compared to 69 in the prior year. In addition, the number of Franchise and International Stores increased by 34 as of October 3, 2017 compared to September 27, 2016.

Company Store revenue

Company Store revenue for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017 decreased by $3.1 million or 21.8% and $4.6 million or 11.4%, respectively, compared to the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 27, 2016. The decrease in Company Store revenue for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017 were due to decreases in comparable store sales and a reduction in the number of Company Stores as a result of refranchising activities. The following table summarizes the change in revenue for the periods indicated: 

	13-Week Period Ended October 3, 2017			39-Week Period Ended October 3, 2017
	(in thousands)			(in thousands)
Third Quarter 2017 vs. Third Quarter 2016
Company Stores comparable sales increase/(decrease)	$	(489	)	$	(945	)
Reduction in number of Company Stores, net		(2,639	)		(3,641	)
Total change in Company Store revenue	$	(3,128	)	$	(4,586	)

Company Store comparable sales decreased 3.8% for the 13-week period ended October 3, 2017, attributable to a decrease of 7.0% in transaction count, partially offset by an increase in the average check amount of 3.1% as compared to the same period in the prior year. Company Store comparable sales decreased 2.3% for the 39-week period ended October 3, 2017, attributable to a decrease of 5.6% in transaction count, partially offset by an increase in the average check amount of 3.3% as compared to the same period in the prior year. Company Store comparable sales represents the change in year-over-year sales for all Company Stores opened for at least a full fiscal year.

Franchise and other revenue

Franchise and other revenue for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017 decreased by $0.8 million or 10.1% and $1.5 million or 6.7%, respectively, compared to the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 27, 2016. The decreases were primarily due to the exit of JambaGO^® and decreases in Franchise Store comparable store sales, partially offset by royalties generated from the net increase in the number of Franchise and International Stores. The number of Franchise Stores and International Stores as of October 3, 2017 and September 27, 2016 was 814 and 780, respectively.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales is primarily comprised of produce, dairy, and other products used to make smoothies, bowls and juices and paper products.

The following table summarizes cost of sales expenses for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

	13-Week Period Ended									39-Week Period Ended
	October 3, 2017			September 27, 2016			% Change			October 3, 2017			September 27, 2016			% Change
Cost of sales	$	2,460		$	3,437			(28.4	)%	$	8,050		$	9,720			(17.2	)%
Percentage of company stores revenue		21.9	%		24.0	%					22.6	%		24.2	%

Cost of sales for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017 as a percentage of Company Store revenue, was favorable 2.1% and 1.6%, respectively, compared to the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 27, 2016, primarily due to favorable commodity costs led by strawberries and mangos, and menu price increases. Cost of sales for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017 decreased $1.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively, compared to the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 27, 2016, primarily due to the decrease in number of Company Stores.

Labor

Labor costs are comprised of store management salaries and bonuses, hourly team member payroll, training costs and other associated fringe benefits.

The following table summarizes labor expenses for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

	13-Week Period Ended									39-Week Period Ended
	October 3, 2017			September 27, 2016			% Change			October 3, 2017			September 27, 2016			% Change
Labor	$	3,589		$	4,644			(22.7	)%	$	12,158		$	13,470			(9.7	)%
Percentage of company stores revenue		32.0	%		32.4	%					34.2	%		33.5	%

The 0.4% decrease in labor as a percentage of Company Store revenue for the 13-week period ended October 3, 2017 was primarily attributable to the changes in the composition of the store base and lower fringe benefits driven by bonus and worker’s compensation expense. These favorable expenses were partially offset by increased wage rates and labor hours inefficiency. The 0.7% increase in labor as a percentage of Company Store revenue for the 39-week period ended October 3, 2017 was primarily attributable to increased wage rates, partially offset by changes in the composition of the store base. Labor costs for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017 decreased $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively, compared to the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 27, 2016, primarily due to the decrease in number of Company Stores.

Occupancy

Occupancy costs include both fixed and variable portions of rent, common area maintenance charges, property taxes, licenses and property insurance for all Company Store locations.

The following table summarizes occupancy expenses for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

	13-Week Period Ended									39-Week Period Ended
	October 3, 2017			September 27, 2016			% Change			October 3, 2017			September 27, 2016			% Change
Occupancy	$	1,504		$	1,879			(20.0	)%	$	4,978		$	5,815			(14.4	)%
Percentage of company stores revenue		13.4	%		13.1	%					14.0	%		14.5	%

The 0.3% increase in occupancy costs as a percentage of Company Store revenue for the 13-week period ended October 3, 2017 was primarily due to a decrease in sales, tax and insurance and common area maintenance charges, and partially offset by changes in the composition of the store base. The 0.5% decrease in occupancy costs as a percentage of Company Store revenue for the 39-week period ended October 3, 2017 was primarily due to changes in the composition of the store base offset by a decrease in sales.

Occupancy costs for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017 decreased $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, compared to the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 27, 2016, primarily due to the decrease in number of Company Stores.

Store Operating expenses

Store operating expenses consist of various store-level costs such as utilities, marketing, repairs and maintenance, credit card fees and other store operating expenses.

The following table summarizes store operating expenses for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

	13-Week Period Ended									39-Week Period Ended
	October 3, 2017			September 27, 2016			% Change			October 3, 2017			September 27, 2016			% Change
Store operating	$	1,988		$	2,381			(16.5	)%	$	6,317		$	6,674			(5.3	)%
Percentage of company stores revenue		17.7	%		16.6	%					17.7	%		16.6	%

19

The 1.1% increase in total store operating expenses as a percentage of Company Store revenue for the 13-week period ended October 3, 2017 was primarily due to a decrease in sales, higher repairs, higher store level advertising, and higher smallwares and utility expenses, partially offset by reduced contract services and lower hardware and software expenses. Total store operating expenses for the 13-week period ended October 3, 2017 decreased by $0.4 million compared to September 27, 2016, primarily due to the decrease in the number of Company Stores.

The 1.1% increase in total store operating expenses as a percentage of Company Store revenue for the 39-week period ended October 3, 2017 was primarily due to changes in the composition of the store base, repairs and a decrease in sales and lower hardware and software expenses. Total store operating expenses for the 39-week period ended October 3, 2017 decreased by $0.4 million compared to September 27, 2016, primarily due to the decrease in the number of Company Stores.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses include the depreciation of fixed assets and the amortization of intangible assets.

The following table summarizes depreciation and amortization expenses for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

	13-Week Period Ended									39-Week Period Ended
	October 3, 2017			September 27, 2016			% Change			October 3, 2017			September 27, 2016			% Change
Depreciation and amortization	$	897		$	1,068			(16.0	)%	$	2,677		$	4,244			(36.9	)%
Percentage of total revenue		4.9	%		4.8	%					4.8	%		6.8	%

The decreases in depreciation and amortization for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017 were primarily due to the disposition of assets from the previous Emeryville headquarters and store refranchising activity. For the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 27, 2016, the Company corrected certain errors including an overstatement of expenses included within depreciation expense of approximately $0.6 million.

General and Administrative (“G&A”)

G&A expenses include costs associated with our corporate headquarters (in Emeryville, California and Frisco, Texas), field supervision, performance related incentives, outside and contract services, accounting and legal fees, travel and travel-related expenses, share-based compensation and other G&A expenses. Also included in G&A are costs related to the move of the support center to Frisco, Texas, settlement and legal costs.

The following table summarizes G&A expenses for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

	13-Week Period Ended									39-Week Period Ended
	October 3, 2017			September 27, 2016			% Change			October 3, 2017			September 27, 2016			% Change
General and administrative	$	6,505		$	9,699			(32.9	)%	$	21,863		$	26,732			(18.2	)%
Percentage of total revenue		35.8	%		44.0	%					38.8	%		42.9	%

Total G&A expenses for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017, decreased by $3.2 million and $4.9 million, respectively, compared to the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 27, 2016. The decrease in total G&A expenses was primarily due to lapsing costs related to the relocation to Frisco, Texas in 2016, efficiencies gained from corporate structure changes resulting from our shift to an asset light model, and lower legal fees, partially offset by higher audit related expenses.

20

Store Pre-Opening

Store pre-opening consists of costs incurred in connection with start-up and promotion of new store openings as well as rent from possession date to store opening date are expensed as incurred.

The following table summarizes store pre-opening expenses for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

	13-Week Period Ended									39-Week Period Ended
	October 3, 2017			September 27, 2016			% Change			October 3, 2017			September 27, 2016			% Change
Store pre-opening	$	150		$	210			(28.6	)%	$	493		$	860			(42.7	)%
Percentage of total revenue		0.8	%		1.0	%					0.9	%		1.4	%

Total store pre-opening for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017, decreased by $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, compared to the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 27, 2016. The decreases were primarily due to due to pre-opening rent related to a Company store opened in fiscal 2016.

Impairment of long-lived assets

We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying values of long-lived assets may not be recoverable.

The following table summarizes impairment of long-lived assets expenses for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

	13-Week Period Ended									39-Week Period Ended
	October 3, 2017			September 27, 2016			% Change			October 3, 2017			September 27, 2016			% Change
Impairment of long-lived assets	$	-		$	229			(100.0	)%	$	-		$	356			(100.0	)%
Percentage of total revenue		0.0	%		1.0	%					0.0	%		0.6	%

For the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017, impairment of long-lived assets decreased by $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, compared to September 27, 2016. The Company had no impairment during the 13-week and 39-week period ended October 3, 2017, the losses in fiscal year 2016 related to impairment of fixed assets of several operating stores.

Other Operating, Net

Other operating, net consists of income from breakage from our gift cards (known as jambacard®), gift card-related fees, expenses related to our franchisees, sublease income, international expenses, gain/loss on investments, bad debt expense and CPG and JambaGO® activities.

The following table summarizes other operating, net expenses for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

	13-Week Period Ended									39-Week Period Ended
	October 3, 2017			September 27, 2016			% Change			October 3, 2017			September 27, 2016			% Change
Other operating, net	$	1,336		$	104			1184.6	%	$	545		$	961			(43.3	)%
Percentage of total revenue		7.4	%		0.5	%					1.0	%		1.5	%

For the 13-week period ended October 3, 2017, other operating, net increased by $1.2 million compared to September 27, 2016, driven by an increase in franchise marketing expenses partially offset by decreases in CPG and JambaGO^® direct expenses due to the exit of JambaGO^®. For the 39-week period ended October 3, 2017, other operating, net decreased $0.4 million compared to September 27, 2016, driven by decreases in CPG and JambaGO^® direct expenses due to the exit of JambaGO^® and an increase in gift card breakage income, partially offset by an increase in franchise marketing expenses.

21

Income Tax Expense

We have recorded income tax expense for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017 and September 27, 2016, respectively. Our effective income tax rates were (3.8%) and (0.5%) for the 13-week periods ended October 3, 2017 and September 27, 2016, respectively and (3.0%) and (1.0%) for the 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017 and September 27, 2016, respectively. For the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017 and September 27, 2016, the effective tax rates were primarily affected by the pretax loss, foreign withholding and state minimum taxes.  

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows Summary

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017 and September 27, 2016 (in thousands):

	39-Week Period Ended
	October 3, 2017			September 27, 2016
Cash (used in) provided by operating activities	$	5,402		$	(2,205	)
Cash (used in) provided by investing activities		(1,365	)		(3,884	)
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities		701			616
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	4,738		$	(5,473	)

Liquidity

As of October 3, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11.9 million compared to $7.1 million as of January 3, 2017. As of October 3, 2017 and January 3, 2017, we had no short term or long term debt. During the 39-week period ended October 3, 2017, our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows provided by operating activities.

We expect that our cash on hand, future cash flows provided by operating activities will be sufficient to fund our working capital and general corporate needs and the non-discretionary capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months and the foreseeable future. The use of cash to fund discretionary capital expenditures will be based on the need to conserve our capital.

On February 14, 2012, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Lender”), and as amended on November 1, 2012, July 22, 2013, November 4, 2013 and December 29, 2015 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), made available to the Company a revolving line of credit in the amount of $10.0 million. On July 22, 2016, the Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo expired. On November 3, 2016, we entered into a credit agreement with Cadence Bank, NA (“New Credit Agreement”). The New Credit Agreement provides an aggregate principal amount of up to $10.0 million. The New Credit Agreement also allows us to request an additional $5.0 million for an aggregate principal amount of up to $15.0 million.

The New Credit Agreement makes available to the Company a revolving line of credit in the amount of up to $15.0 million which accrues interest at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus 2.50%. Under the terms of the New Credit Agreement, we are required to maintain certain leverage and coverage ratios and are subject to limits on annual capital expenditures. The New Credit Agreement terminates November 3, 2021. The credit facility is subject to customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on the Company with respect to liens, indebtedness, investments, fundamental changes (merge, dissolve, liquidate, etc.), dispositions, restricted payments and guarantees. The credit facility is evidenced by a revolving loan, is guaranteed by the Company and is secured by substantially all of our assets including the asset of our subsidiary.

To acquire the New Credit Agreement, the Company incurred upfront fees, which are being amortized over the term of the Credit Agreement. As of October 3, 2017, the unamortized commitment fee for the New Credit Agreement was not material and is recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

22

As of October 3, 2017, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants to the New Credit Agreement. Since the inception of the Wells Fargo line of credit and the New Credit Agreement, we did not borrow on the facilities and utilized them primarily for collateral against letters of credit, which reduce the amount available to draw. As of October 3, 2017, there were $0.3 million letters of credit outstanding.  In the future, we may enter equipment leasing arrangements and incur additional indebtedness as necessary and as permitted under our New Credit Agreement. We cannot assure, however, that such financing will be available on favorable terms or at all.The adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including the macroeconomic environment, the operating performance of our Company Stores, the successful expansion of our franchise and licensing programs and the successful rollout and consumer acceptance of our new beverage and food initiatives. Given these factors, our foremost priorities for the near term continue to be preserving and generating cash sufficient to fund our liquidity needs.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.4 million for the 39-week period ended October 3, 2017, compared to cash used of $2.2 million for the 39-week period ended September 27, 2016, reflecting a net increase in cash flows provided in operating activities of $7.6 million. This increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a lower net loss (approximately $5.4 million), a net increase in cash provided by operating assets and liabilities (approximately $3.9 million) and a decrease in net loss after adjustments for noncash items (approximately $1.7 million). Net loss after adjustments for noncash items decreased primarily due to a decrease in cash outflows related to the relocation of the Company’s headquarters in fiscal 2016, partially offset by a decline in Company Store revenue, which was primarily due to a decrease in Company Stores for the quarter compared to the prior year and a decrease in same store sales. The Company expects that operating cash flow will be generated through a combination of company store profitability and franchise royalty fees, and a reduced cost structure.

The amount of cash provided by our operating activities during any particular fiscal year is highly subject to variations in the seasons. The first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year encompass the winter and holiday seasons when we traditionally generate our lowest revenue, and our second and third quarters of the fiscal year encompass the warmer seasons where a significant portion of our revenue and cash flows are realized. For more information on seasonality, refer to the section below entitled “Seasonality and Quarterly Results.”

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.4 million for the 39-week period ended October 3, 2017, compared to $3.9 million for the 39-week period ended September 27, 2016. The $2.5 million change in net cash used in investing activities during the 39-week period ended October 3, 2017 was primarily due to a decrease in capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.7 million for the 39-week period ended October 3, 2017, compared to $0.6 million for the 39-week period ended September 27, 2016 and relates to proceeds received from stock plan activity.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no significant changes to our contractual obligations table as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2017.

COMMODITY PRICES, AVAILABILITY AND GENERAL RISK CONDITIONS

We contract for significant amounts of individually quick frozen fruit, fruit concentrate and dairy products to support the needs of both our Company Stores and Franchise Stores. The price and availability of these commodities directly impact our results of operations and can be expected to impact our future results of operations.

SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS

Our business is subject to day-to-day volatility based on weather and varies by season. A significant portion of our revenue is realized during the second and third quarters of the fiscal year, which include the summer months. The first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year, which encompasses the winter months and the holiday season, has traditionally been our lowest revenue volume quarter. Although we have expanded the number of stores offering our bowls, hot oatmeal, hot beverages, sandwiches and Artisan Flatbread selections, our business will likely continue to be subject to seasonal patterns for the foreseeable future, given that the largest portion of our sales continues to be from the sale of smoothies during the warmer parts of the year. Because of the seasonality of the business, results for an individual quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results, which may be achieved for the full fiscal year.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to adopt accounting policies and make significant judgments and estimates to develop amounts reflected and disclosed in the financial statements. In many cases, there are alternative policies or estimation techniques that could be used. We maintain a process to review the application of our accounting policies and to evaluate the appropriateness of the many estimates that we are required to make in order to prepare the financial statements. However, even under optimal circumstances, estimates routinely require adjustment based on changing circumstances and the receipt of new or better information. There have been no significant changes to the policies and estimates as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2017.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Recent Accounting Pronouncements section of Note 2 to our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information about new accounting standards.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rates

We do not enter into market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes. We are exposed to financial market risks due primarily to changes in interest rates in our interest bearing accounts. We do not believe a change in interest rate will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. As of October 3, 2017, a one percent change of the interest rate would result in an annual change in the results of operations of approximately $0.1 million.

Commodities Prices

We are exposed to the impact of commodity and utility price fluctuations related to unpredictable factors such as weather and various market conditions over which we do not have control. We purchase significant amounts of produce and dairy products to support the needs of our Company Stores. The price and availability of these commodities directly impact the results of operations and can be expected to impact the future results of operations.

We purchase fruit based on short-term seasonal pricing agreements. These short-term agreements generally set the price of procured frozen fruit and 100% pure fruit concentrates for less than one year based on estimated annual requirements. We purchase fresh produce based on annual pricing agreements. In order to mitigate the effects of price changes in any one commodity on our cost structure, we contract with multiple suppliers both domestically and internationally. These agreements typically set the price for some or all of our estimated annual fruit and fresh produce requirements, protecting us from short-term volatility. Nevertheless, these agreements typically contain a force majeure clause, which, if utilized (such as the recent drought in California or the hurricanes in 2017 that destroyed the Florida orange crop), may subject us to significant price increases.

Our pricing philosophy is not to attempt to change consumer prices with every move up or down of the commodity market, but to take a longer term view of managing margins and the value perception of our products in the eyes of our customers. Our objective is to maximize our revenue through increased customer traffic.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, on the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of October 3, 2017, solely because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below.

To address the material weakness described below, management performed additional analysis and other procedures to ensure that our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Material Weakness

We underwent significant changes in our business model, leadership, key personnel, and relocation of our corporate office. These changes resulted in a significant increase in non-routine transactions and impacted certain routine processes needed to effectively accumulate and present consolidated financial results. We identified that our risk assessment process, which was intended to identify new transactions and changes to existing processes and design appropriate control activities over financial reporting, may not be sufficient to prevent or detect material misstatement on a timely basis. Consequently, a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting resulted as described below.

Ineffective risk assessment of the risks of material misstatement in financial reporting

We did not effectively identify and evaluate how the changes in our business, leadership, key personnel and location could impact our system of internal controls as it relates to assessment of risks related to financial reporting, as well as determine a basis for how those risks should be managed. As a result of ineffective risk assessment, we did not develop policies and procedures as well as design and operate relevant control activities that would mitigate risks of material misstatement over financial reporting.

25

The material weakness affected the design, implementation and operation of controls over the preparation, analysis and review of significant balances and disclosures and impacted our ability to close our books in a timely manner. This material weakness contributed to misstatements related to a number of significant accounts and disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company is taking actions to remediate the material weakness related to its internal control over ineffective risk assessment of the risks of material misstatement in financial reporting, as described above. Other than the material weakness referenced above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the fiscal quarter ended October 3, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

26

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation and consolidation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Jamba, Inc. have been prepared pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for Form 10-Q. The January 3, 2017 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jamba Juice Company. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications were made to the Company’s prior financial statements to conform to current year presentation. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2017.

Effect of prior period misstatements

In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 27, 2016, the Company corrected certain errors including an overstatement of expenses included within depreciation expense of approximately $0.6 million and other income, net of approximately $0.3 million, related to prior period financial statements. These adjustments was related to both the prior quarters of 2016 and prior year 2015 results. The Company determined that the corrections were neither quantitatively or qualitatively material to those periods individually and in the aggregate. In addition, these items are expected to have an immaterial impact on net income for the full 2016 fiscal year.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Preparing Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events, excluding changes resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. The Company currently has no components of comprehensive income other than net income, therefore no separate statement of comprehensive income is presented.

Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities, which includes outstanding options and restricted stock awards granted under the Company’s stock option plans.

Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents totaling 1.5 million and 1.8 million were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017, respectively.  Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents totaling 2.1 million and 1.9 million were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 27, 2016, respectively. Basic and diluted income (loss) per share do not differ when there is a net loss position as potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive.

Assets Held for Sale

The Company classifies assets as held for sale and suspends depreciation and amortization when approval at the appropriate level has been provided, the assets can be immediately removed from operations, an active program has begun to locate a buyer, the assets are being actively marketed for sale at or near their current fair value, significant changes to the plan of sale are not likely and the sale is probable within one year. Upon classification as held for sale, long-lived assets are no longer depreciated, and an assessment of impairment is performed to identify and expense any excess of carrying value over fair value less costs to sell. Subsequent changes to the estimated fair value less costs to sell will impact the measurement of assets held for sale. To the extent fair value increases, any impairment previously recorded is reversed. If the carrying value of the assets held for sale exceeds the fair value less costs to sell, the Company will record a loss for the amount of the excess. The Company also reclassifies the associated prior year balances for assets reclassified to assets held for sale.

If the Company decides not to sell previously classified assets held for sale, the asset is reclassified back to their original asset group. The assets are recorded at the lower of the carrying value before being classified as held for sale adjusted for depreciation that would have been recognized during the time they were classified as held for sale or fair value at the date the Company decided not to sell. In November 2016, the Company announced plans to refranchise 13 Company-owned stores in the Chicago area which was subsequently completed in the second quarter of 2017.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following instruments are not measured at fair value on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets but require disclosure of their fair values: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, notes receivable and accounts payable. The estimated fair value of such instruments, excluding notes receivable, approximates their carrying value as reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets due to their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of notes receivable approximates its carrying value due to the interest rates aligning with market rates. The fair value of such financial instruments is determined using the income approach based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The fair value of these instruments would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, with the exception of cash and cash equivalents, which would be categorized as Level 1.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Inventory

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU 2015-11 applies to inventory that is measured using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost method and requires measurement of that inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.  This pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We adopted ASU 2015-11 effective January 4, 2017 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.

Stock Compensation

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The updated guidance changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payment awards to employees, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. This standard, which was adopted in the first quarter of 2017, resulted in the recognition of previously unrecognized federal and state net operating loss carryforwards worth approximately $0.8 million, net of tax.  Management has determined that it is not more likely than not that the benefit of these deferred tax assets will be realized and has established a full valuation allowance for this amount, resulting in a net zero impact to the financial statements. Additionally, the Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, and a cumulative-effect adjustment was made in the amount of $0.3 million and recorded in retained earnings as of October 3, 2017 on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. 

Upcoming Accounting Pronouncements

The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the following pronouncements on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures:

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the effective date, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). Early adoption is permitted to the original effective date of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2016 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). The amendment guidance may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented with the option to apply practical expedients or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application.Management believes adoption of the new revenue recognition standard will primarily impact the Company’s accounting for other fees charged to franchisees as well as transactions involving its advertising fund and gift card sales. Currently the Company anticipates to adopt the new revenue standard using the modified retrospective transition approach. Management is in the process of determining the financial statement impact and currently unable to estimate the impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which will require lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of leases with terms less than 12 months) at the commencement date. The guidance will be effective for the Company beginning fiscal year 2019, with early adoption permitted. The new standard is required to be applied with a modified retrospective approach to each prior reporting period presented with various optional practical expedients. Management believes the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will materially impact the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements by significantly increasing non-current assets and non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in order to record the right of use assets and related lease liabilities for existing operating leases. Management is in the process of determining the financial statement impact and currently unable to estimate the impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.

Liabilities

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-04, Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products. The new guidance creates an exception under ASC 405-20, Liabilities-Extinguishments of Liabilities, to derecognize financial liabilities related to certain prepaid stored-value products using a revenue-like breakage model. The guidance will be effective for the Company beginning fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted. This guidance can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption.  Management is in the process of determining the financial statement impact and currently unable to estimate the impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.

Other Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has not yet adopted and does not expect the adoption of the following pronouncements to have a significant impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures:

Financial Instruments

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for the Company beginning fiscal year 2018.

Statement of Cash Flows

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which provides specific guidance for certain cash flow classification issues, previously not specifically addressed, including classification for debt prepayment, contingent consideration made after a business combination, insurance claim proceeds and corporate-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investees and certain other items. The guidance will be effective for the Company beginning fiscal year 2018, with early application permitted.

Stock Compensation

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments provide guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. This guidance will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted.

Intangibles

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The impairment amount will be calculated at Step 1. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. This guidance will be effective for the Company’s fourth quarter annual impairment test in fiscal year 2019, with early adoption permitted.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurement

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Financial Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

• Level 1:  Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2:  Inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable.

• Level 3:  Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

Non-financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities primarily consist of long-lived assets, trademarks and other intangibles, and are reported at carrying value. They are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. Trademarks and other intangibles are evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.

As a result of the quarterly impairment reviews, the Company had no impairment during the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017 and recognized impairment total losses of $0.2 million and $0.4 million during the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 27, 2016, included in impairment of long-lived assets in Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The losses in fiscal year 2016 related to the impairment of fixed assets of an individual store.

In addition, the Company periodically authorizes grants of stock-based compensation as inducement awards to new employees. This type of award does not require shareholder approval in accordance with Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq listing rules.

Share-based compensation expense, which is included in general and administrative expenses, was $0.6 million and $1.0 million for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017, respectively, and $0.7 million and $2.4 million for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 27, 2016. At October 3, 2017, unvested share-based compensation expense for options and restricted stock awards totaled $1.5 million and will be recognized over the remaining weighted average service period of approximately one year. There was no income tax benefit related to share-based compensation expense during the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017, and September 27, 2016.

Commitments and Contingencies

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company records a liability for litigation claims and contingencies when payment is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

During the 39-week period ended October 3, 2017, the Company increased a liability for an ongoing litigation matter by $1.0 million. No additional liabilities were incurred in the 13-week period ended October 3, 2017. The estimated losses are included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s financial statements. In fiscal year 2016, the Company recognized $2.0 million for estimated losses associated with ongoing and settled litigation matters based on the available information at the time. The amounts recognized relate to aggregate amounts estimated for resolution of the Company’s ordinary course employment based litigation cases estimated at $1.0 million and a commercial vendor dispute settled for $1.0 million. As of October 3, 2017 and January 3, 2017, the liabilities associated with these matters are recorded in accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $2.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

The Company is a defendant in litigation arising in the normal course of business. Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate disposition of these matters, it is the opinion of the Company’s management, based upon the information available at this time, that the expected outcome of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, liquidity or financial condition of the Company.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

9 Months Ended

Oct. 03, 2017

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

Basis of presentation and consolidation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Jamba, Inc. have been prepared pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for Form 10-Q. The January 3, 2017 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jamba Juice Company. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications were made to the Company’s prior financial statements to conform to current year presentation. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2017.

Effect of Prior Period Misstatements

Effect of prior period misstatements

In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 27, 2016, the Company corrected certain errors including an overstatement of expenses included within depreciation expense of approximately $0.6 million and other income, net of approximately $0.3 million, related to prior period financial statements. These adjustments was related to both the prior quarters of 2016 and prior year 2015 results. The Company determined that the corrections were neither quantitatively or qualitatively material to those periods individually and in the aggregate. In addition, these items are expected to have an immaterial impact on net income for the full 2016 fiscal year.

Use of Estimates

Use of estimates

The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Preparing Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events, excluding changes resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. The Company currently has no components of comprehensive income other than net income, therefore no separate statement of comprehensive income is presented.

Income (Loss) Per Share

Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities, which includes outstanding options and restricted stock awards granted under the Company’s stock option plans.

Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents totaling 1.5 million and 1.8 million were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 3, 2017, respectively.  Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents totaling 2.1 million and 1.9 million were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 27, 2016, respectively. Basic and diluted income (loss) per share do not differ when there is a net loss position as potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive.

Assets Held for Sale

Assets Held for Sale

The Company classifies assets as held for sale and suspends depreciation and amortization when approval at the appropriate level has been provided, the assets can be immediately removed from operations, an active program has begun to locate a buyer, the assets are being actively marketed for sale at or near their current fair value, significant changes to the plan of sale are not likely and the sale is probable within one year. Upon classification as held for sale, long-lived assets are no longer depreciated, and an assessment of impairment is performed to identify and expense any excess of carrying value over fair value less costs to sell. Subsequent changes to the estimated fair value less costs to sell will impact the measurement of assets held for sale. To the extent fair value increases, any impairment previously recorded is reversed. If the carrying value of the assets held for sale exceeds the fair value less costs to sell, the Company will record a loss for the amount of the excess. The Company also reclassifies the associated prior year balances for assets reclassified to assets held for sale.

If the Company decides not to sell previously classified assets held for sale, the asset is reclassified back to their original asset group. The assets are recorded at the lower of the carrying value before being classified as held for sale adjusted for depreciation that would have been recognized during the time they were classified as held for sale or fair value at the date the Company decided not to sell. In November 2016, the Company announced plans to refranchise 13 Company-owned stores in the Chicago area which was subsequently completed in the second quarter of 2017.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following instruments are not measured at fair value on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets but require disclosure of their fair values: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, notes receivable and accounts payable. The estimated fair value of such instruments, excluding notes receivable, approximates their carrying value as reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets due to their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of notes receivable approximates its carrying value due to the interest rates aligning with market rates. The fair value of such financial instruments is determined using the income approach based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The fair value of these instruments would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, with the exception of cash and cash equivalents, which would be categorized as Level 1.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Inventory

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU 2015-11 applies to inventory that is measured using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost method and requires measurement of that inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.  This pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We adopted ASU 2015-11 effective January 4, 2017 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.

Stock Compensation

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The updated guidance changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payment awards to employees, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. This standard, which was adopted in the first quarter of 2017, resulted in the recognition of previously unrecognized federal and state net operating loss carryforwards worth approximately $0.8 million, net of tax.  Management has determined that it is not more likely than not that the benefit of these deferred tax assets will be realized and has established a full valuation allowance for this amount, resulting in a net zero impact to the financial statements. Additionally, the Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, and a cumulative-effect adjustment was made in the amount of $0.3 million and recorded in retained earnings as of October 3, 2017 on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. 

Upcoming Accounting Pronouncements

Upcoming Accounting Pronouncements

The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the following pronouncements on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures:

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the effective date, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). Early adoption is permitted to the original effective date of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2016 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). The amendment guidance may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented with the option to apply practical expedients or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application.Management believes adoption of the new revenue recognition standard will primarily impact the Company’s accounting for other fees charged to franchisees as well as transactions involving its advertising fund and gift card sales. Currently the Company anticipates to adopt the new revenue standard using the modified retrospective transition approach. Management is in the process of determining the financial statement impact and currently unable to estimate the impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which will require lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of leases with terms less than 12 months) at the commencement date. The guidance will be effective for the Company beginning fiscal year 2019, with early adoption permitted. The new standard is required to be applied with a modified retrospective approach to each prior reporting period presented with various optional practical expedients. Management believes the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will materially impact the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements by significantly increasing non-current assets and non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in order to record the right of use assets and related lease liabilities for existing operating leases. Management is in the process of determining the financial statement impact and currently unable to estimate the impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.

Liabilities

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-04, Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products. The new guidance creates an exception under ASC 405-20, Liabilities-Extinguishments of Liabilities, to derecognize financial liabilities related to certain prepaid stored-value products using a revenue-like breakage model. The guidance will be effective for the Company beginning fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted. This guidance can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption.  Management is in the process of determining the financial statement impact and currently unable to estimate the impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.

Other Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has not yet adopted and does not expect the adoption of the following pronouncements to have a significant impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures:

Financial Instruments

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for the Company beginning fiscal year 2018.

Statement of Cash Flows

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which provides specific guidance for certain cash flow classification issues, previously not specifically addressed, including classification for debt prepayment, contingent consideration made after a business combination, insurance claim proceeds and corporate-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investees and certain other items. The guidance will be effective for the Company beginning fiscal year 2018, with early application permitted.

Stock Compensation

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments provide guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. This guidance will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted.

Intangibles

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The impairment amount will be calculated at Step 1. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. This guidance will be effective for the Company’s fourth quarter annual impairment test in fiscal year 2019, with early adoption permitted.
