On October 17, 2011, a complaint was filed against the Company and GMCR, jointly, by Spinelli Pte. Ltd., a Singapore company. The lawsuit claims breach of contract, declaratory relief and fraudulent procurement related to the Spinelli brand and marks. We intend to vigorously defend these claims but cannot predict the outcome or financial impact to the Company at this time.

On November 4, 2011, The Irvine Company, LLC (the “plaintiff”), a landlord for one of the Company's stores, filed suit against the Company and JH Development, LLC, a franchise area developer.  The plaintiff alleges that the Company entered a lease with the plaintiff in May 2000, then assigned the lease to JH Development, LLC in October 2008.  The plaintiff alleges that the Company and JH Development, LLC then breached the lease by vacating prior to termination and failing to make payments.  The only cause of action is a cause of action for breach of lease.  The plaintiff seeks compensatory damages in the amount of $250,000, as well as attorney's fees and costs.  We are investigating the claim and plan to vigorously defend against it, although we have not yet been officially served with such complaint at the time of this filing.
