GRAND HAVANA ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
QUARTERS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 2003 AND DECEMBER 29, 2002
(Unaudited)
 
1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES
 
The interim consolidated condensed financial statements presented have been prepared by Grand Havana Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) without audit, and in the opinion of the management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of statements of (a) the consolidated results of operations for the three months ended December 28, 2003 and December 29, 2002, (b) the consolidated financial position at December 28, 2003 and (c) the consolidated cash flows for the three months ended December 28, 2003 and December 29, 2002. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. The consolidated balance sheet presented as of September 28, 2003 has been derived from the consolidated financial statements that have been audited by the Company's independent auditors. The consolidated financial statements and notes are condensed as permitted by Form 10-QSB and do not contain certain information included in the annual financial statements and notes of the Company. The consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
 
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Revenue Recognition and Measurement. The Company derives revenues from four principal sources: (1) membership (humidor rental) fees; (2) sales of cigars and related merchandise; (3) private events and club activities; and (4) food and beverage sales. Revenue from sales of cigars and related merchandise, private events and club activities, and food and beverage sales are recognized at the time of the sale. The Company recognizes two types of membership (humidor rental) fees, an initial fee, or set up fee, and a monthly rental fee. The initial fee is recognized at the time the member joins. The monthly rental fee is charged in advance for a three-month period, and recognized equally over the three-month period. Deferred revenue represents those humidor fees charged in advance and recognized equally over the three-month period.
 
Income (Loss) Per Share. Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is calculated assuming the issuance of common shares, if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of stock options and warrants. These potentially dilutive securities were not included in the calculation of loss per share for the three months ended December 29, 2002, because the Company incurred a loss during the period, and thus, their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted losses per share are the same for the three months ended December 29, 2002.
 
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred liabilities and term loans. The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates the carrying value of the instruments.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In January 2003 (as revised in December 2003), the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 46, entitled “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“Interpretation 46”), an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (“ARB 51”). Interpretation 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities, which have one or both of the following characteristics: (i) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated support from other parties; or (ii) the investors lack one or more of the following essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest: (a) the direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities through voting rights or similar rights, or (b) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity if they occur.
 

 
   

 

Interpretation 46, as revised, also requires expanded disclosure by the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, and by an enterprise that holds a significant variable interest in a variable interest entity, but is not the primary beneficiary.

Interpretation 46, as revised, applies to small business issuers no later than the end of the first reporting period that ends after December 15, 2004. The effective date includes those entities to which Interpretation 46 had previously applied. However, prior to the required application of Interpretation 46, a public entity that is a small business issuer must apply Interpretation 46 to those entities that are considered to be special purpose entities no later than as of the end of the first reporting period after December 15, 2003.

Interpretation 46 may be applied prospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date which it is first applied, or by restating previously issued financial statements for one or more years with a cumulative effect adjustment as of the beginning of the first year restated.

In June 2003, FASB issued an exposure draft for a proposal under the Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”), entitled “Qualifying Special Purpose Entities (“QSPE”) and Isolation of Transferred Assets, an amendment to SFAS No. 140 (“The Exposure Draft”). The Exposure Draft is a proposal that is subject to change, and as such, is not yet authoritative. If the proposal is enacted in its current form, it will amend and clarify SFAS No. 140. The Exposure Draft would prohibit an entity from being a QSPE if it enters into an agreement that obligates a transferor of financial assets, its affiliates, or its agents to deliver additional cash or other assets to fulfill the special purpose entity’s obligation to beneficial interest holders.

In December 2002, FASB issued Statement No. 148, entitled “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure,” an amendment to FASB Statement No. 123 (“SFAS 148”). SFAS 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), and provides alternative methods for accounting for a change by registrants to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. Additionally, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require disclosure in the significant accounting policy footnote of both annual and interim statements of the method of accounting for stock-based compensation, and the related pro forma disclosures, when the intrinsic value method continues to be used. SFAS 148 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002, and disclosure is effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 2002.

In April 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 149, entitled “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 149”). SFAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, entitled “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”). The changes in SFAS 149 improve financial reporting by requiring that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. SFAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. All of its provisions must be applied prospectively.

In May 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 150, entitled “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments and Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity” (“SFAS 150”). SFAS 150 changes the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity that, under previous pronouncements, issuers could account for as equity. The new accounting guidance contained in SFAS 150 requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities on the balance sheet.


 
   

 

SFAS 150 affects the issuer’s accounting for three types of freestanding financial instruments. One type is mandatory redeemable shares, which the issuing company is obligated to buy back in exchange for cash or other assets. A second type includes put options and forward purchase contracts, which involve instruments that require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other assets. The third type of instruments that are liabilities under SFAS 150 are obligations that can be settled with shares, the monetary value of which is fixed, tied solely or predominantly to a variable such as a market index, or that vary inversely with the value of the issuer’s shares. SFAS 150 does not apply to features embedded in a financial instrument that are not derivative in their entirety.

Most of the provisions of SFAS 150 are consistent with the existing definition of liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, entitled “Elements of Financial Statements.” The remaining provisions of SFAS 150 are consistent with FASB’s proposal to revise the definition to encompass certain obligations that a reporting entity can settle by issuing its own shares. SFAS 150 is effective for the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatory redeemable financial instruments of a non-public entity, where the effective date is the fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2004.

The implementation of the provisions of these pronouncements are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation.

4.   TAXES PAYABLE
           
On February 11, 2003, the Company was notified by the City of New York Department of Finance that it was in arrears in payment of “Commercial Rent Tax.” This tax is based on annual rent payments made to the Company’s landlord at a rate of 6%, after a 35% discount. The Company has never paid any “Commercial Rent Tax” since its opening in June 1997. The City informed the Company that it was the responsibility of landlords to inform their tenants of the “rent tax” in effect. Upon notification by the City of New York, the Company requested a conciliation conference, which was granted and held on June 24, 2003, and attended by Stanley Shuster. At this conference, the Company agreed to pay the back “rent tax” and interest, while the City of New York agreed to waive all penalties. This amounted to $137,498 in back taxes and $36,036 in interest. The City waived $53,293 in penalties. On July 31, 2003, the Company made a down payment of $43,250. On September 12, 2003, the Company was notified by the City of New York of its upcoming amnesty period, starting October 20, 2003 and running until January 23, 2004. During this period, if payment of remaining back “rent tax” was paid-in-full, the interest portion would be reduced to $20,154. As of December 28, 2003, the Company owed the City of New York $90,472 in “Commercial Rent Tax” and interest.

In May 2003, the Company began negotiations with the State of New York Department of Taxation with regards to the Company’s sales tax in arrears. The Company paid $100,000 as a down payment and entered into a tentative agreement to pay $25,000 a month until the total balance was paid-in-full. In July 2003, the Company began making monthly payments. On January 24, 2004, the State of New York formally approved the $25,000 per month payment agreement, which is scheduled to end in July 2005. As of December 28, 2003, the Company owed the New York State Department of Taxation $416,858 in back sales tax, interest and penalties.

5.    NOTE PAYABLE
           
The Company has an $185,000 loan with Bank Leumi. The note is dated February 28, 2003 and matures on March 1, 2005.  The interest rate is LIBOR plus 2%. The Company's Chief Executive Officer is a guarantor of the Company's credit line, and has pledged certain personal assets to secure the obligation.


 
   

 


6.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
           
On March 1, 2004, the Company consolidated its notes payables and all accrued liabilities to advances made by the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer. The Company issued a promissory note to its former Chief Executive Officer in the amount of $2,500,901. In connection therewith, the former Chief Executive Officer agreed to terminate a security agreement dated September 30, 1998, whereby he was granted a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Company also issued a promissory note to United Films for $782,917, which consolidated the original note and accrued interest due to United Films. Lastly, the Company issued a promissory note to an affiliate, 1990 Westwood Blvd., Inc. (“1990 Westwood”), the Company’s former landlord of its corporate office, for $181,720. The notes issued to the Company's former Chief Executive Officer, United Films and 1990 Westwood on March 1, 2004 provided for interest at a rate of 5% per annum.

               On September 26, 2004, the Company cancelled the notes issued to its former Chief Executive Officer, United Films and 1990 Westwood on March 1, 2004. In consideration for such cancellation and termination of the March 1, 2004 notes, the Company issued its former Chief Executive Officer, United Films and 1990 Westwood new, unsecured promissory notes for principal and unpaid interest owed to such parties as of such date in amounts of $2,435,050, $798,786 and $170,866, respectively (collectively, the “September 2004 Notes”). The September 2004 Notes bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum. The Company has the right to prepay the September 2004 Notes in whole or in part at any time. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay its former Chief Executive Officer successive monthly installments of at least $10,000, commencing on October 1, 2004 and continuing on the first day of each month until the loan matures. The September 2004 Notes are all due and payable upon the earlier of (1) September 30, 2007, (2) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (3) a change in control of the Company.

  
   

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

OVERVIEW

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB. Certain statements contained herein that are not related to historical results, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s business strategy and objectives, future financial position and estimated cost savings, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Acts (the “Exchange Act”), and involve risks and uncertainties. Although the Company believes that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such assumptions will prove to be accurate and actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties associated with the ability to obtain adequate working capital on terms favorable to the Company, compliance with regulatory requirements, the Company’s ability to sell more memberships, a decline in public consumption of cigars and other tobacco products, significant increases in excise taxes which could substantially increase the price of cigars and general economic factors. All forward-looking statements contained in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB are qualified in their entirety by this statement.

The Company is engaged in the business of the ownership and operation of private membership cigar clubs known as “Grand Havana Rooms,” and in the ownership and operation of retail cigar stores known as “Grand Havana House of Cigars.” Unless the context otherwise indicates, the “Company” means Grand Havana Enterprises, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
 
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 13, 1993 under the name “United Restaurants, Inc.” The Company was originally formed in order to acquire all of capital stock of Love’s Enterprises, Inc. (“LEI”), which company was the franchiser, owner and operator of the Love’s restaurant chain. The Company acquired the stock of LEI in May 1993. In December 1996, due to less than anticipated operating results from the Love’s restaurant chain, the Company adopted a plan of discontinuance with respect to the Love’s restaurant chain, which plan was completed in July 1998.

The Company currently owns and operates two Grand Havana Rooms, one in Beverly Hills, California, which opened in June 1995, and one in New York, New York, which opened in May 1997. The Company formerly operated a third Grand Havana Room and House of Cigars in Washington, D.C. That location was closed in February 1999 and substantially all of the assets were sold. In addition, the Company currently owns and operates one Grand Havana House of Cigars location, in Beverly Hills, California, which opened in December 1997. The Company previously operated a Grand Havana House of Cigars in Las Vegas, Nevada, which opened in November 1997. The Company closed the Las Vegas Grand Havana House of Cigars on January 1, 2002. The Company’s primary business focus is operating its existing cigar clubs and retail store.

For the quarter ended December 28, 2003, the Company had net income of $291,698, compared to net loss of ($113,488) for the fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2002. This is primarily due to the increased membership and club usage at the Grand Havana Room in New York City.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 2003 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 29, 2002.
 
REVENUES

The Company derives revenues from continuing operations from four principal sources: (1) membership (humidor rental) fees; (2) sales of cigars and related merchandise; (3) club activities; and (4) food and beverage sales. During the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2003, the Company had revenues for $2,201,104, compared to revenues of $1,618,173 for fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2002, an increase of $582,931, or approximately 36.0%. This increase in revenues is primarily due to an increase in humidor rental fees.

Membership (Humidor Rental) Fees. Revenue from humidor rental fees increased from $457,934 in the fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2002 to $674,382 in the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2003, an increase of $216,448, or approximately 47.3%. This was primarily due to an increase in membership at the New York Grand Havana Room. The New York Grand Havana Room is now maintaining a waiting list for membership.

Merchandise Sales. Revenue from merchandise sales increased from $100,130 in the fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2002 to $129,871 in the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2003, an increase of $29,741, or approximately 29.7%. This increase is principally due to an increase in membership in the New York Grand Havana Room.

Club Activities. Revenue from club activities or private events increased from $269,472 in the fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2002 to $286,341 in the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2003, an increase of $16,869, or approximately 6.3%.

Food and Beverage. Revenue from food and beverage increased from $790,637 in the fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2002 to $1,110,510 in the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2003, an increase of $319,873, or approximately 40.5%. This increase is primarily due to a greater number of members associated with the New York Grand Havana Room.
 
COSTS AND EXPENSES

During the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2003, the Company incurred total costs and expenses of $1,857,765, compared to $1,685,353 for the fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2002, an increase of $174,412, or approximately 10.2%.

Food and Beverage. During the quarter ended December 28, 2003, food and beverage expenses were $433,269, an increase of $176,321, or 68.6%, over food and beverage expenses for the quarter ended December 29, 2002. This increase was attributable to a 40% increase in food and beverage income. The Company also closed its kitchen in Beverly Hills at the end of January 2001, and entered into a contract with Mistral’s Brasserie L.L.C. (“Mistral’s”) to provide food for the club. In June 2002, Mistral’s was replaced by 301 N. Canon Dr. L.L.C. (“301 Canon”). In August 2003, 301 Canon was replaced by Luce of Beverly Hills (“Luce”). The Company’s contract with Luce calls for food costs to be 78% of Luce’s sales.

Merchandise. During the quarter ended December 28, 2003, merchandise expenses were $71,631, an increase of $10,550, or 17.3%, over merchandise expenses for the quarter ended December 29, 2002. This increase was due to a 20% increase in merchandise sales.

Operating Expenses. During the quarter ended December 28, 2003, operating expenses were $1,083,999, a decrease of $21,385, or 19%, from operating expenses for the quarter ended December 29, 2002. This was attributable to increased activity at the New York Grand Havana Room, combined with a decrease in taxes payable.


 
   11  

 

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by approximately 7.7%, from $88,568 in the fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2002, to $81,761 in the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2003.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by approximately 7.9%, from $173,372 in the fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2002, to $187,105 in the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2003.

NET INCOME

The Company experienced a net income of $291,698, or $0.02 per share, for the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2003, compared to a net loss of ($113,488), or $0.00 per share, for fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2002, an increase in net income of $405,196, or approximately 3570%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 28, 2003, the Company had cash or cash equivalents of $320,769.

On August 15, 1998, Harry Shuster, the former Chief Executive Officer and principal stockholder of the Company agreed to lend the Company $300,000. The Company delivered a secured promissory note to Harry Shuster, dated August 15, 1998 (the “Shuster Note”). The Shuster Note provided for interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The Shuster Note was secured by a second lien security interest in certain collateral. As of December 28, 2003, the entire principal amount of the Shuster Note, $300,000, remained outstanding.
 
On September 30, 1998, United Leisure agreed to make a new installment loan to the Company in the amount of up to $1,250,000 in replacement of a prior loan between United Leisure and the Company. The Company executed a promissory note dated September 30, 1998 (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note was secured by a first lien security interest in certain collateral. On January 31, 2001, United Leisure assigned the Promissory Note to Harry Shuster. The President of United Leisure is Brian Shuster, the son of Harry Shuster and the brother of Stanley Shuster, the current Chief Executive Officer and principal stockholder of the Company. Subsequently, the Company entered into an amended note with Harry Shuster for $740,246, which included all accrued interest from the Promissory Note (the “Amended Note”). The Amended Note provided for interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The Amended Note was due and payable on October 1, 2003. Since the inception of the Amended Note, $100,000 of the principal has been paid, and interest in the amount of $27,268 has also been paid to Harry Shuster. On December 28, 2003, the Company owed an aggregate of $640,246.

On March 1, 2004, the Company and Harry Shuster agreed to consolidate the Shuster Note, the Amended Note, and all accrued liabilities to advances made by the former Chief Executive Officer, and, in lieu thereof, the Company issued a new promissory note to Harry Shuster in the amount of $2,500,901 (the “March 2004 Promissory Note”). In connection therewith, Harry Shuster agreed to terminate his security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company. The March 2004 Promissory Note provided for interest at the rate of 5% per annum.

              On September 26, 2004, the Company cancelled the March 2004 Promissory Note. In consideration for cancellation and termination of the note, the Company issued its former Chief Executive Officer a new, unsecured promissory note in the amount of $2,435,050 (the “September 2004 Promissory Note”). The September 2004 Promissory Note bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum. The Company has the right to prepay the September 2004 Promissory Note in whole or in part at any time. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay its former Chief Executive Officer successive monthly installments of at least $10,000, commencing on October 1, 2004 and continuing on the first day of each month until the loan matures. The September 2004 Promissory Note is due and payable upon the earlier of (1) September 30, 2007, (2) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (3) a change in control of the Company.

On March 1, 2004, the Company and 1990 Westwood entered into a letter agreement, whereby the Company issued a promissory note to 1990 Westwood in the amount of $181,720. The promissory note provided for interest at the rate of 5% per annum.
 
               On September 26, 2004, the Company cancelled the note issued to 1990 Westwood on March 1, 2004. In consideration for cancellation and termination of the note, the Company issued 1990 Westwood a new, unsecured promissory note in the amount of $170,866 for principal and unpaid interest owed as of September 26, 2004. The new note bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum. The Company has the right to prepay the note in whole or in part at any time. The promissory note is due and payable upon the earlier of (1) September 30, 2007, (2) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (3) a change in control of the Company.

 
  12   

 

As of December 28, 2003, an aggregate of $801,495 remained outstanding under a note issued to United Films, an affiliate of the Company, in May 1997 (the “1997 Promissory Note”). The full amount due under the 1997 Promissory Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest, was due and payable by the Company on demand. The president of United Films is Brian Shuster, the son of Harry Shuster and the brother of Stanley Shuster, the current Chief Executive Officer and principal stockholder of the Company. On March 1, 2004, the Company and United Films agreed to cancel and terminate the obligations due under the 1997 Promissory Note, and, in lieu thereof, the Company issued a promissory note dated March 1, 2004 to United Films in the amount of $782,917 (the “March 2004 United Films Promissory Note”). The March 2004 United Films Promissory Note provided for interest at the rate of 5% per annum.    
 
          On September 26, 2004, the Company cancelled the March 2004 United Films Promissory Note. In consideration for cancellation and termination of the note, the Company issued United Films a new, unsecured promissory note in the amount of $798,786 for principal and unpaid interest owed as of September 26, 2004 (the “September 2004 United Films Promissory Note”). The September 2004 United Films Promissory Note bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum. The Company has the right to prepay the note in whole or in part at any time. The September 2004 United Films Promissory Note is due and payable upon the earlier of (1) September 30, 2007, (2) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (3) a change in control of the Company.

On September 26, 1999, Stanley Shuster, the Chief Executive Officer and principal stockholder of the Company, made an advance to the Company in the amount of $60,000. The note bears interest at 10.3% per annum. On June 18, 2003, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Stanley Shuster to borrow an additional $50,000. The note bears interest at 7% per annum, and was due and payable on September 15, 2004. Since the inception of the advances made to the Company by Stanley Shuster, the Company has repaid $33,100, bringing the total indebtedness, as of December 28, 2003, to $76,900.

The Company believes that it will meet its working capital needs in the current fiscal year from the operations of its Grand Havana Rooms and Grand Havana House of Cigars locations. Due to the fact that the trading price of the Company’s common stock has remained low in the last twelve months and because it currently is not trading on a nationally recognized exchange, the Company does not anticipate that it will be able to sell its securities in private placements on terms that are acceptable to the Company for the foreseeable future. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds through private placement of its securities, it may seek financing from affiliated or unaffiliated third parties. There can be no assurance, however, that such financing would be available to the Company when and if it is needed, or that if available, that it will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain financing to meet its working capital needs and to repay indebtedness as it becomes due, the Company may have to consider such options as selling or pledging portions of its assets in order to meet such obligations.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Revenue Recognition and Measurement. The Company derives revenues from four principal sources: (1) membership (humidor rental) fees; (2) sales of cigars and related merchandise; (3) private events and club activities; and (4) food and beverage sales. Revenue from sales of cigars and related merchandise, private events and club activities, and food and beverage sales are recognized at the time of the sale. The Company recognizes two types of membership (humidor rental) fees, an initial fee, or set up fee, and a monthly rental fee. The initial fee is recognized at the time the member joins. The monthly rental fee is charged in advance for a three-month period, and recognized equally over the three-month period. Deferred revenue represents those humidor fees charged in advance and recognized equally over the three-month period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In January 2003 (as revised in December 2003), FASB issued Interpretation 46 which addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities, which have one or both of the following characteristics: (i) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated support from other parties; or (ii) the investors lack one or more of the following essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest: (a) the direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities through voting rights or similar rights, or (b) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity if they occur.

Interpretation 46, as revised, also requires expanded disclosure by the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, and by an enterprise that holds a significant variable interest in a variable interest entity, but is not the primary beneficiary.

Interpretation 46 applies to small business issuers no later than the end of the first reporting period that ends after December 15, 2004. The effective date includes those entities to which Interpretation No. 46 had previously applied. However, prior to the required application of Interpretation 46, a public entity that is a small business issuer shall apply Interpretation 46 to those entities that are considered to be special purpose entities no later than as of the end of the first reporting period after December 15, 2003.

Interpretation No. 46 may be applied prospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date which it is first applied, or by restating previously issued financial statements for one or more years with a cumulative effect adjustment as of the beginning of the first year restated.

In June 2003, FASB issued the Exposure Draft. The Exposure Draft is a proposal that is subject to change, and as such, is not yet authoritative. If the proposal is enacted in its current form, it will amend and clarify SFAS 140. The Exposure Draft would prohibit an entity from being a QSPE if it enters into an agreement that obligates a transferor of financial assets, its affiliates, or its agents to deliver additional cash or other assets to fulfill the special purpose entity’s obligation to beneficial interest holders.

In April 2003, FASB issued SFAS 149 which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and hedging activities under SFAS 133. The changes in SFAS 149 improve financial reporting by requiring that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. SFAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. All of its provisions must be applied prospectively.

In May 2003, FASB issued SFAS 150 which changes the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity that, under previous pronouncements, issuers could account for as equity. The new accounting guidance contained in SFAS 150 requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities on the balance sheet.

SFAS 150 affects the issuer’s accounting for three types of freestanding financial instruments. One type is mandatory redeemable shares, which the issuing company is obligated to buy back in exchange for cash or other assets. A second type includes put options and forward purchase contracts, which involves instruments that require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other assets. The third type of instruments that are liabilities under SFAS 150 are obligations that can be settled with shares, the monetary value of which is fixed, tied solely or predominantly to a variable such as a market index, or that vary inversely with the value of the issuer’s shares. SFAS 150 does not apply to features embedded in a financial instrument that are not derivative in their entirety.

Most of the provisions of SFAS 150 are consistent with the existing definition of liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, entitled “Elements of Financial Statements.” The remaining provisions of SFAS 150 are consistent with FASB’s proposal to revise the definition to encompass certain obligations that a reporting entity can settle by issuing its own shares. SFAS 150 is effective for the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatory redeemable financial instruments of a non-public entity, where the effective date is the fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2004.

The implementation of the provisions of these pronouncements are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation.

TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (“DOHMH”) of the City of New York passed the Smoke-Free Act (“SFA”), which prohibited smoking in restaurants and bars after September 26, 2003. Local Law 47 of 2002 amended the SFA, providing that an establishment considered a “Tobacco Bar” could allow smoking indoors past the September 26, 2003 deadline. On March 26, 2003, DOHMH passed an amendment to Local Law 47 of 2002 which stated that “Tobacco Bars” must prohibit smoking indoors as of July 25, 2003, unless they register with DOHMH. DOHMH defines a “Tobacco Bar” as an entity that generates less than 40% of total revenue from food, and more than 10% of revenue from the sale of tobacco products and accessories, including humidor rentals. The entity must also not have expanded or changed its size or location as of December 31, 2001. The Company feels that it conforms to all aspects of this exemption. On June 25, 2003, the Company submitted its application to DOHMH. On July 22, 2003, DOHMH approved the Company’s application. The exemption is valid until July 25, 2005. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to maintain its “Tobacco Bar” status. Failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
