NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2015
(Unaudited)
 
Note 1.  Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Jammin Java Corp. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K have been omitted. The accompanying balance sheet at April 30, 2015 has been derived from the audited balance sheet at January 31, 2015 contained in such Form 10-K.
 
As used in this Quarterly Report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Jammin Java” and the “Company” mean Jammin Java Corp., unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts in this Quarterly Report are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
 
Note 2.   Going Concern and Liquidity
 
These financial statements have been prepared by management assuming that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern and contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
The Company incurred a net loss of $1,197,236 for the three months ended April 30, 2015, and has an accumulated deficit since inception of $25,241,069. The Company has a history of losses and has only recently begun to generate revenue as part of its principal operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The operations of the Company have primarily been funded by the sale of its common stock. The Company will, in the future, need to secure additional funds through future equity sales or other fund raising activities. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company.
 
The Company’s ability to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business is dependent upon its ability to sell its products directly to end-users and through distributors, establish profitable operations through increased sales and decreased expenses, and obtain additional funds when needed. Management intends to increase sales by increasing the Company’s product offerings, expanding its direct sales force and expanding its domestic and international distributor relationships.
 
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to increase sales, reduce expenses or obtain additional financing, if necessary, at a level to meet its current obligations. As a result, the opinion the Company received from its independent registered public accounting firm on its January 31, 2015 financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph stating that there is a substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Note 3.  Business Overview and Summary of Accounting Policies

Jammin Java, doing business as Marley Coffee, is a United States (U.S.)-based company that provides sustainably grown, ethically farmed and artisan roasted gourmet coffee through multiple U.S. and international distribution channels, using the Marley Coffee brand name. U.S. and international grocery retail channels have become the Company’s largest revenue channels, followed by online retail, office coffee services (referred to herein as OCS), food service outlets and licensing. The Company intends to continue to develop these revenue channels and achieve a leadership position in the gourmet coffee space by capitalizing on the global recognition of the Marley name through the licensing of the Marley Coffee trademarks.
 
Reclassifications. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation for comparative purposes.
 
Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Preparation. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as certain financial statement disclosures. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of April 30, 2015, the Company had $72,031 of cash equivalents. Additionally, no interest income was recognized for the three months ended April 30, 2015.
 
Revenue Recognition. Revenue is derived from the sale of coffee products and is recognized on a gross basis upon shipment to the customer. All revenue is recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the service or sale is completed; (iii) the price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured.  Revenue is recognized as the net amount estimated to be received after deducting estimated amounts for discounts, trade allowances and product terms. We record promotional and return allowances based on recent and historical trends. Promotional allowances, including customer incentive and trade promotion activities, are recorded as a reduction to sales based on amounts estimated being due to customers, based primarily on historical utilization and redemption rates.
 
The Company utilizes third parties for the production and fulfillment of orders placed by customers. The Company, acting as principal, takes title to the product and assumes the risks of ownership; namely, the risks of loss for collection, delivery and returns.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.  The Company does not require collateral from its customers with respect to accounts receivable. The Company determines any required allowance by considering a number of factors, including the terms for each customer, and the length of time accounts receivable are outstanding. Management provides an allowance for accounts receivable whenever it is evident that they become uncollectible. The Company has reserved an allowance of $100,000 for doubtful accounts at April 30, 2015 and January 31, 2015.   Because our accounts receivable are concentrated in a relatively few number of customers, a significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any one of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the collectability of our accounts receivable and our future operating results.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed using weighted average cost, which approximates actual cost, on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventories on hand are evaluated on an on-going basis to determine if any items are obsolete or in excess of future needs. Items determined to be obsolete are reserved for. The Company provides for the possible inability to sell its inventories by providing an excess inventory reserve. As of April 30, 2015, the Company determined that no reserve was required.

 
F - 5

 

Note 3. Business Overview and Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

Property and Equipment. Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Maintenance and repairs, as incurred, are charged to expense. Renewals and enhancements which extend the life or improve existing equipment are capitalized. Upon disposition or retirement of equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are three years.
 
Depreciation was $41,273 and $­­22,637 for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets consist primarily of a license agreement that was recorded at the estimated cost to acquire the asset. The license agreement is reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable (see Note 5). Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values. Management evaluated the carrying value of long-lived assets including the license and determined that no impairment existed at April 30, 2015.
  
Accounts Receivable due from Roasters. We source coffee that we sell to our roaster, Mother Parkers, a related party and shareholder of the Company, who in turn sells it to its own customers. This is especially the case with Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee secured by us.  Mother Parkers is also a shareholder of the Company.  At April 30, 2015, we are owed $810,498 by Mother Parkers. We also utilize the services of Mother Parkers, to roast coffee to our specifications for sale to the Company's customers. As a result, at April 30, 2015, we owe $2,480,206 to Mother Parkers for roasting services.
 
Financial assets and liabilities are subject to offset and presented as net amounts in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to offset amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The Company does not have offset rights with respect to Mother Parkers due to/due from amounts at April 30, 2015.
 
Stock-Based Compensation.   Pursuant to the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718-10, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee service, management utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of employee stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fair value of our share-based compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fair value, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stock-based payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances.  
 
Common stock issued for services to non-employees is recorded based on the value of the services or the value of the common stock, whichever is more clearly determinable. Whenever the value of the services is not determinable, the measurement date occurs generally at the date of issuance of the stock. In more limited cases, it occurs when a commitment for performance has been reached with the counterparty and nonperformance is subject to significant disincentives.  If the total value of stock issued exceeds the par value, the value in excess of the par value is added to the additional paid-in-capital.  We estimate volatility of our publicly-listed common stock by considering historical stock volatility.
 
Income Taxes. The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification No 740, Income Taxes. The Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and on net operating loss carry forwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Earnings or Loss Per Common Share. Basic earnings per common share equals net earnings or loss divided by the weighted average of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share includes the impact on dilution from all contingently issuable shares, including options, warrants and convertible securities. The common stock equivalents from contingent shares are determined by the treasury stock method. The Company incurred a net loss for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In addition, basic and diluted earnings per share for such periods are the same because all potential common equivalent shares would be anti-dilutive including the 4,000,000 "in-the-money" options as of April 30, 2015.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. Accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are being evaluated by the Company to determine whether adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies
 
On July 28, 2014, Shane Whittle, individually, a former significant shareholder and officer and director of the Company (“Whittle”) filed a complaint against the Company in the District Court, City and County of Denver, State of Colorado (Case No. 2014-CV-032991 Division: 209). The complaint alleged that Whittle entered into a consulting agreement with the Company for which the Company failed to make payments and that Rohan Marley, as both a director of the Company and of Marley Coffee Canada, Inc., additionally agreed that, as part of Whittle’s consulting compensation, the Company would assume a debt owed by Marley Coffee Canada to Whittle. The cause of action set forth in the complaint includes breach of contract. Damages claimed by Whittle included $60,000 under the consulting agreement and $19,715 related to payments assumed by the Company.  Effective on March 31, 2015, the Company and Mr. Whittle entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release of Claims (the “Settlement”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to dismiss their claims associated with the District Court, City and County of Denver, State of Colorado (Case No. 2014-CV-032991 Division: 209), lawsuit described above. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Whittle $80,000 which was accrued as of January 31, 2015 (to be paid in equal payments of $10,000 per month beginning on April 1, 2015), the Company agreed to withdraw from a joinder in connection with the Federal Action pending between the parties (and certain other parties) as described below, the parties provided each other mutual releases and the parties agreed to mutually dismiss, with prejudice, their claims.

In a separate case, on September 30, 2014, Whittle individually, and derivatively on behalf of Marley Coffee LLC (“MC LLC”) filed a complaint against Rohan Marley, Cedella Marley, the Company, Hope Road Merchandising, LLC, Fifty-Six Hope Road Music Limited, and Marley Coffee Estate Limited in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado (Civil Action No. 2014-CV-2680). The complaint alleges that Whittle entered into a partnership with Rohan Marley, to sell premium coffee products branded after the name and likeness of Rohan Marley. The causes of action set forth in the complaint include, among others, racketeering activity, trademark infringement, breach of fiduciary duty, civil theft, and civil conspiracy (some of which causes of action are not directly alleged against the Company), which are alleged to have directly caused Whittle and Marley Coffee LLC substantial financial harm.  Damages claimed by Whittle and MC LLC include economic damages to be proven at trial, profits made by defendants, treble damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and pre and post judgment interest.  The Company has engaged legal counsel in the matter. The outcome of this lawsuit cannot be predicted with any degree of reasonable certainty. In the event the matter is not settled, the Company intends to continue to vigorously defend itself against Whittle’s and MC LLC’s claims.

Overview
 
We provide premium roasted coffee and specialty coffee on a wholesale level to the service, hospitality, office coffee service and big box store markets, as well as to a variety of other business channels. Specifically, we currently provide award winning sustainably grown, ethically-farmed and artisan roasted gourmet coffee through multiple United States and international distribution channels. We intend to develop a significant share of these markets and achieve a leadership position by capitalizing on the global recognition of the “Marley” brand name. We hope to capitalize on the guidance and leadership of our Chairman, Rohan Marley, and to increase our sales through the marketing of products using the likeness of, and reflecting the personality of, Mr. Marley. Additionally, through a licensing agreement with the family of the late reggae performer, Robert Nesta Marley, professionally known as Bob Marley (which family members include Rohan Marley, our Chairman and the son of Bob Marley)(as described below), we are provided the worldwide right to use the name “Marley Coffee” and reasonably similar variations thereof.

We believe the key to our growth is a multichannel distribution and sales strategy. Since August 2011, we have been introducing a wide variety of coffee products through multiple distribution channels using the Marley Coffee brand name. The main channels of revenue for the Company are now and are expected to continue to be domestic retail in both grocery and away from home (for example, consumption at the office and on the go), international distribution, and online retail.
 
In order to market our products in these channels, we have developed a variety of coffee products in varying formats. The Company offers an entire line of coffee in whole bean and ground form with varying sizes including 2.5 ounce (oz), 8oz, 12oz and 2 pound (lbs) sizes. The Company also offers a “single serve” solution with its compostable Single-Serve Pods for Bunn® and other pod-based home and office brewers. The Company recently launched its Marley Coffee RealCup; compatible cartridges, for use in most models of Keurig®’s K-Cup brewing system.

License Agreement with Fifty-Six Hope Road

On September 13, 2012, the Company entered into a fifteen (15) year license agreement (renewable for two additional fifteen (15) year terms thereafter in the option of the Company) with an effective date of August 7, 2012 with Fifty-Six Hope Road Music Limited, a Bahamas international business company (“Fifty-Six Hope Road” and the “FSHR License Agreement”). Rohan Marley, our Chairman, owns an interest in Fifty-Six Hope Road. Pursuant to the FSHR License Agreement, Fifty-Six Hope Road granted the Company a worldwide, exclusive, non-transferable license to utilize the “Marley Coffee” trademarks (the “Trademarks”) in connection with (i) the manufacturing, advertising, promotion, sale, offering for sale and distribution of coffee in all its forms and derivations, regardless of portions, sizes or packaging (the “Exclusive Licensed Products”) and (ii) coffee roasting services, coffee production services, and coffee sales, supply, distribution and support services, provided that the Company may not open retail coffee houses utilizing the Trademarks. Fifty-Six Hope Road owns and controls the intellectual property rights in and to the late reggae performer, Robert Nesta Marley, professionally known as Bob Marley, including the Trademarks. In addition, Fifty-Six Hope Road granted the Company the right to use the Trademarks on advertising and promotional materials that pertain solely to the sale of coffee cups, coffee mugs, coffee glasses, saucers, milk steamers, machines for brewing coffee, espresso and/or cappuccino, grinders, water treatment products, tea products, chocolate products, and ready-to-use (instant) coffee products (the “Non-Exclusive Licensed Products”, and together with the Exclusive Licensed Products, the “Licensed Products”). Licensed Products may be sold by the Company pursuant to the FSHR License Agreement through all channels of distribution, provided that, subject to certain exceptions, the Company cannot sell the Licensed Products by direct marketing methods (other than the Company’s website), including television, infomercials or direct mail without the prior written consent of Fifty-Six Hope Road. Additionally, FSHR has the right to approve all Licensed Products, all advertisements in connection therewith and all product designs and packaging. The agreement also provides that FSHR shall own all rights to any domain names (including marleycoffee.com), incorporating the Trademarks.

In consideration for the foregoing licenses, the Company agreed to pay royalties to Fifty-Six Hope Road in an amount equal to 3% of the net sales of all Licensed Products on a quarterly basis. In addition, such royalty payments are to be deferred during the first 20 months of the term of the FSHR License Agreement, and such deferred payments shall be paid on a quarterly-basis thereafter until paid in full. At April 30, 2015, $58,609 is accrued for such royalty fees with $205,860 having been paid during the year ended January 31, 2015 and $60,092 having been paid during the three months ended April 30, 2015.

Mother Parkers License Agreement

On May 20, 2014, we entered into an Amended and Restated License Agreement with Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee Inc. (“Mother Parkers” and the “MP Agreement”), which amended and restated a prior license agreement entered into between the parties in October 2011. A significant portion of the Company’s revenue comes from sales to and through Mother Parkers. As described in greater detail in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on April 30, 2014, the Company also entered into a Subscription Agreement with Mother Parkers in April 2014, pursuant to which Mother Parkers purchased 7,333,529 units from the Company for $2.5 million, each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock; and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $0.51135 per share for a term of three years.

Pursuant to our relationship with Mother Parkers, Mother Parkers produces Marley Coffee RealCups for us. For direct sales of RealCups (e.g., in jurisdictions in which Mother Parkers does not have exclusive rights as described below) we purchase the RealCups from Mother Parkers and handle all aspects of selling, merchandising and marketing products to retailers. Pursuant to the MP Agreement, the Company granted Mother Parkers the exclusive right to manufacture, process, package, label, distribute and sell single serve hard capsules (which excludes single serve soft pods) (the “Product”) on behalf of the Company in Canada, the United States of America and Mexico. The rights granted under the MP Agreement are subject to certain terms and conditions of our license agreement with Fifty-Six Hope Road. Pursuant to the MP Agreement, Mother Parkers is required to, among other things, supply all ingredients and materials, labor, manufacturing equipment and other resources necessary to manufacture and package the Product, develop coffee blends set forth in specifications provided by the Company from time to time, procure coffee beans in the open market (or from the Company’s designee) at favorable prices, set prices for the Product in a manner that is competitive in the market place and deliver Product logo/brand designs to the Company for approval prior to manufacturing any such Product. We are required to, among other things, cross-promote the Product, use Product images and marketing materials provided by Mother Parkers to promote the Product, and provide the services of Rohan Marley (our Chairman) at a minimum of five locations per year at the Company’s sole cost and expense. There are no minimum volume or delivery requirements under the MP Agreement. Pursuant to the MP Agreement, Mother Parkers agreed to pay us a fee of $0.06 per capsule for Talkin’ Blues products and $0.04 per capsule for all other Product sold by Mother Parkers under the terms of the agreement, which payments are due in monthly installments. The MP Agreement has a term of five years, provided that it automatically renews thereafter for additional one year periods if not terminated by the parties, provided further that we are not able to terminate the agreement within the first 12 months of the term of the agreement and if we terminate the agreement or take any action that lessens or diminishes Mother Parkers’ exclusive rights under the agreement during months 12 through 36 of the agreement, we are required to pay Mother Parkers a fee of $600,000 and reimburse Mother Parkers for any out of pocket costs incurred by Mother Parkers for inventory and other materials that are unsalable or unusable after such termination. We also receive revenues through the sale by Mother Parkers of our roast coffee in Canada, whereby we receive a portion of the gross revenues of such sales.

Sales and Distribution Agreements and Understandings
 
The Company has entered into informal sales arrangements, not documented by definitive agreements, with several coffee distributors, beverage services and retailers around the world.
 
In Canada, the Company has distribution channels directly to certain retailers such as London Drugs and Best Buy. Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee Inc. is the Company’s distributor for the food service segment, which sells to restaurant chains like Original Joe’s and Elephant and Castle. Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee also brings the Company’s products into retailers such as Loblaw’s, Sobey’s, ID Foods, COOP and Metro.

In the United States, for the commercial break room segment, the Company uses its national sales representatives, National Coffee Service & Vending (NCS&V), to distribute to various retailers and distributors.

 
3

 

In addition to distributions through NCS&V, the Company conducts sales directly to retailers as well as to distributors. In order to get in front of retail and distributor accounts, we rely on the experience and relationships of our staff to acquire both groups. Our marketing efforts are comprised of in store promotions, in store demos, external marketing programs, public relations, social media, tradeshows and general advertising.

Within the U.S. grocery and specialty retail segment, the Company utilizes two national brokerage companies to represent, market and merchandise its products. The Company works with Alliance Sales & Marketing, a private food broker based in Charlotte, North Carolina, to increase its new market penetration nationally in the grocery and natural foods retail sector.
 
Within the U.S. grocery and specialty retail segment, the Company’s products are distributed through several distributors such as UNFI, Kehe, C&S and DPI and we also distribute directly to certain retailers.

The Company has strengthened its online presence by selling through a multitude of online retailers such as Amazon.com, Cooking.com, coffeeicon.com, ecscoffee.com, officedepot.com and coffeewiz.com.

Products, Plan of Operations and Business Growth

In fiscal 2015, we established a national grocery distribution network, increased our brand awareness and strengthened our international presence. We believe fiscal 2016 is the breakout year for the Company and we forecast to be EBITDA positive by the end of the year, based on our currently projected sales volumes. We anticipate the first two quarters of fiscal 2016 will have negative EBITDA (we had negative EBITDA of $1.1 million for the three months ended April 30, 2015), but hope to be EBITDA positive in the third and fourth quarters, and show positive EBITDA in our audited results of operations for the year ended January 31, 2016.
 
We prepared and organized the operations of the Company to scale to $40 million in revenue without materially increasing our staffing needs from where they are currently by fiscal 2017.

The Company is organized around our three pillars of growth, which are domestic grocery, international and ecommerce.

Domestic Grocery

Domestic grocery is the core focus of the Company with the strategy of continuing to expand into key markets and gaining new accounts and building on the base of accounts we have already. Within the U.S. grocery and specialty retail segment, the Company’s products are distributed through several distributors such as UNFI, Kehe, C&S and DPI and we also distribute directly to certain customers. We sell to retailers such as Safeway (Randalls), Krogers, HEB, Wegmans, Target, Jewel-Osco, Market Basket, Whole Foods, Winn Dixie Bi-Lo, Ahold, Hannafords, Albertsons, Shaw’s and Fairways, and Fresh and Easy. During the past year we have expanded our distributor relationships nationally in the United States. We expect our ongoing discussions with retailers will enable us to place our products in more chains throughout the year and we continue to seek to expand our product placement with grocery retailers and distributors throughout the United States and internationally.

Over the course of the last year, we gained distribution in over 7,200 stores in the United States distributing approximately 5.2 different types of products per store and have authorization in approximately 10,000 stores. Throughout fiscal 2016, while we will still look to gain additional distribution, we are not pursuing it at the same pace we did during the past 18 months. Our objective for our existing distribution is to increase our turn rate (velocity), and build brand awareness to drive further growth.

Our primary driver to enhance our brand and increase our turn rate on shelves will be the launch of our Recyclable RealCup™. Around approximately July of fiscal 2016, we plan to launch a new version of the Marley Coffee RealCup™ capsule that will be compatible with the Keurig Green Mountain K2.0. The recyclable RealCup™ will utilize a recyclable capsule that is accepted by many curbside recycling programs. The technology and intellectual property is owned by Mother Parkers, however we plan to be the first and primary super premium product to launch in market amongst Mother Parkers portfolio of brands.

Based on our current distribution of approximately 7,200 shelves in the U.S. and an average of three SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) of RealCups™ per store, if we can get an additional customer to purchase one SKU per store, per week, within our existing distribution, we believe we can generate approximately ~$6.7 million in additional revenue for the 2016 fiscal year. Our next objective is to get all nine Recyclable RealCup™ Marley Coffee SKUs within our current distribution. SKUs or Stock Keeping Units are a store's or catalog's product and service identification code, often portrayed as a machine-readable bar code that helps items be tracked for inventory.
 
We believe that our recyclable RealCup™ capsule will be one of the most innovative and sustainable single serve products to hit the market in calendar 2015. Keurig Green Mountain (formerly Green Mountain Coffee Roasters), the largest company in the single serve space in North America has expressed their belief that there should be a recyclable solution for K-Cups, however they have only set a 2020 target for their commitment to making 100% of their K-Cup packs recyclable. By having a planned summer 2015 launch, we believe it gives us a competitive advantage for those consumers looking for a sustainable solution to single use coffee capsules. We have received media attention around this launch and we have several marketing campaigns in the works as well.
 
International

Our international business is one of the key components of our revenues. For our international accounts, we rely on first in class operators to take our brand to market and handle all of the distribution and marketing for the products. We provide brand support to our international accounts. We currently have key distribution in several countries, which include Canada, the United Kingdom, South Korea and Chile. These countries primarily sell to the food service industry, which includes hotels, restaurants and cafes. From their success in food service, they have expanded distribution into retail distribution. Mother Parkers takes our products to market in Canada through both a licensing agreement and buy-sell relationship. Our distributors in South Korea and Chile buy coffee from us here in the U.S. at wholesale prices and then resell the coffee to their customers. Our U.K. distributor roasts and packs Company approved coffee and resells it to customers throughout Europe. In the second half of fiscal 2016, we plan on launching a Nespresso© compatible capsule for markets throughout the world.

The Company also does business with coffee machine manufacturers such as Hamilton Beach and Remington Coffee by selling them various products such as 8 ounce bags of coffee, fractional packs or RealCup units as samples that come inside boxes of coffee which are sold as packages to end buyers. This provides greater exposure for the Company.

The International Coffee Organization recently reported that it expects global coffee demand to rise 25% by 2021. We believe that we are in a strong position to capitalize on that growth and our goal is to continue finding top-tier operators like the ones we have in place in Canada, South Korea, Chile and the United Kingdom.

Online

During the fourth quarter of calendar 2014, we launched an innovative Coffee of the Month subscription service as well an online retail platform at https://shop.marleycoffee.com/. We anticipate this to be a key revenue driver in the upcoming year. The Company also sells to other online operators such as Amazon.com, Cooking.com, coffeeicon.com, ecscoffee.com, officedepot.com and coffeewiz.com.

Commitment to Reduce Cash Compensation

Throughout fiscal 2015, the Company issued shares of common stock in consideration for services rendered to its officers, directors and employees in an effort to maximize its cash on hand and improve liquidity. In fiscal 2016, the Company plans to pay the salaries of its officers and employees in cash, provided that where possible, the Company intends to continue to use common stock in lieu of cash consideration, and has continued to pay certain of its employees in stock instead of cash during fiscal 2016. As the Company continues to grow it will need to raise additional cash in order to maintain its growth and fund its operations. If the Company is unable to access additional capital moving forward, it will hurt our ability to maintain growth and possibly jeopardize our ability to maintain our current operations. We may not be able to increase sales, reduce expenses or obtain additional financing, if necessary, at a level to meet our current obligations to continue as a going concern.

The Company is focused on growing revenue while working to lower cost of sales and operating expenses, with the ultimate goal of generating net income.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Comparison of the Three Months Ended April 30, 2015 and 2014

Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 was $2,738,379 and $2,141,037, respectively, which represents an increase of $597,342 or 27.9% from the previous period. Revenue increased as a result of the Company’s continued expansion into the retail grocery market and its continued growth of other business verticals.

Discounts and allowances. Discounts and allowances for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 was $156,952 and $19,916, respectively, which represents an increase of $137,036 or 688.1% from the previous period. Discounts and allowances increased as a result of the corresponding increase in sales.

Net revenue. Net revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 was $2,581,427 and $2,121,121, respectively, which represents an increase of $460,306 or 21.7% from the previous period.

Total cost of sales. Total cost of sales for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 was $1,784,812 and $1,668,376, respectively, which represents an increase of $116,436 or 7.0% from the previous period. The increase in total cost of sales was mainly the result of the increased sales.

Gross Profit. Gross Profit was $796,615 and $452,745, respectively, for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, which represents an increase of $343,870 or 76.0%. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 30.9% and 21.3% for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Gross profit increased as a result of better managing our costs.

Compensation and benefits expenses. Compensation and benefits expenses were $972,806 and $1,132,148, respectively, for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, which represents a decrease of $159,342 or 14.1%. Compensation and benefits expenses decreased as a result of decreased staff and more efficient operations.

Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 was $521,116 and $822,773, respectively, which represents a decrease of $301,657 or 36.7% from the previous period. Selling and marketing expenses decreased as a result of decreased advertising campaigns in new markets in the current period. We anticipate experiencing marketing expenses relative to our cash flow availabilities throughout fiscal 2016 as we will seek to expand our customer base even more and build out the Company brand.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 was $492,824 and $780,600, respectively, which represents a decrease of $287,776 or 36.9% from the previous period. General and administrative expenses decreased this period as a result of the stepped up expansion in the previous period and the need to support that expansion mostly through professional fees, office supplies and equipment.

Total operating expenses. Total operating expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 was $1,986,746 and $2,735,521, respectively, which represents a decrease of $748,775 or 27.4% from the previous period. Total operating expenses decreased as a result of the decreases in compensation and benefits, selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses described above.

Other income (expense). Other income for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 was $0 and $370,024, respectively. Other income (expense) decreased as a result of the conclusion of a financing agreement in September of 2014, which provided the right for the lender to receive certain true-ups in the event the trading value of common stock declined during certain predetermined periods.

Interest expense. Interest expense for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 was $7,105 and $437, respectively, which represents an increase of $6,668 from the previous period. Interest expense increased as a result of our short term financing and capital lease agreements incurred in the quarter, as described in greater detail in footnote 6 to the financial statements included herein.

Net Loss. Net Loss was $1,197,236 and $1,913,189, respectively, for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, which represents a decrease of $715,953 or 37.4%. Net Loss decreased as a result of the reasons described above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through the issuance of our common stock.
 
The following table presents details of our working capital and cash and cash equivalents:
 
 
April 30, 2015
 
January 31, 2015
   
Increase/(Decrease)
 
Working Capital
  $ (1,904,149 )   $ (1,233,415 )   $ (670,734 )
Cash
  $ 72,031     $ 443,189     $ (371,158 )
 
At April 30, 2015, we had total assets of $3,110,720 and total liabilities of $3,877,376. Our current sources of liquidity include our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash from operations. For the three months ended April 30, 2015, we generated gross sales of $2,738,379 and we had a net loss of $1,197,236.
 
Total current assets of $1,973,227 as of April 30, 2015 included cash of $72,031, accounts receivable of $1,732,247 (which included $810,498 due from Mother Parkers), inventory of $153,868, other current assets of $3,421 and $11,660 of prepaid assets.
 
We had total assets as of April 30, 2015 of $3,110,720 which included the total current assets of $1,973,227, $395,498 of property and equipment, net, $718,428 of intangible assets and $23,567 of other assets.
 
We had total liabilities of $3,877,376 as of April 30, 2015, which were solely current liabilities and included $3,253,092 of accounts payable (which included $2,480,206 of accounts payable to Mother Parkers), $58,609 of accrued royalty – related party (relating to amounts accrued in connection with the FSHR License Agreement (described above)), $266,727 of accrued expenses, and $298,948 of notes payable in connection with short term financing agreement and a capital lease we entered into, as described in greater detail in footnote 9 to the financial statements included herein.
 
We source coffee that we sell to our roaster, Mother Parkers, a related party and shareholder of the Company, who in turn sells it to its own customers. This is especially the case with Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee secured by us.  At April 30, 2015, we are owed $810,498 by Mother Parkers. We also utilize the services of Mother Parkers, to roast coffee to our specifications for sale to the Company's customers. As a result, at April 30, 2015, we owe $2,480,206 to Mother Parkers for roasting services.
 
The Company has been seeing declining losses year over year and quarter over quarter over the past several periods. Net losses for the three months ended April 30, 2015 were $1,197,236, but approximately $368,000 of such figure was related to stock based compensation,  resulting in net losses before non-cash expenses of $829,191 as compared to $1,142,265 of net loss before non-cash expenses for the same period last year and $1,016,966 of net loss before non-cash expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2015. We anticipate the losses for the three months ended July 31, 2015 to be the lowest the Company has had to date and for that trend to continue through the rest of the year. Management is confident in the Company’s ability to execute its previously stated 2016 year end goal of generating $17 million in total gross revenues this fiscal year. The Company's next big goal is to get to EBITDA positive, which we believe we can reach by the end of the fourth quarter (the three months ended January 31, 2016). Moving forward, the Company may undertake steps to uplist its common stock to the NYSE MKT or NASDAQ Capital Market, in the event the Company can meet all applicable uplisting criteria.

As of the filing of this report, we believe that our cash position, funds we may raise through future offerings, the line of credit described below, and the revenues we generate will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for approximately the next twelve months based on our projections. In addition to the above, the Company’s largest supplier of products recently agreed to extend the Company’s required terms of payment from thirty days to one hundred and twenty days from the date product is received, which will provide the Company approximately $1.5 million of short term capital in the near term.  Also, the Company recently entered into a term sheet for up to a $1.5 million dollar line of credit, for which there is no assurance that such line of credit will be available.
 
In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014 and first three fiscal quarters of 2015, we established an annual promotional calendar for our retailers and distributors. Promotions range from discounts at store level to in-store tastings. To date, promotions and trial programs, especially at some of our larger accounts such as Kroger, Safeway (Randalls) and HEB, are increasing product velocity. Additionally we are constantly evaluating cost effective tools to generate brand awareness and trials outside of the retail environment. We plan to continue driving these efforts with the goal of seeing revenues from organic growth increase quarter-to-quarter throughout the remainder of fiscal 2016.
 
We are excited about our other business lines as well. Our away from home business has been growing, especially in the Denver, Colorado area. Its growth helps feed our grocery retail business at a minor cost. Our international growth is picking up pace as well. Europe is growing, as has our commitment to foster the region. Both Chile and South Korea still remain some of the most exciting markets for us as our distributors and partners in that region have done a phenomenal job marketing and growing the brand.

The overwhelming majority of our sales are outside of the distribution of Jamaican Blue Mountain (JBM) beans and products. Nonetheless, one of our main concerns for fiscal 2016 is a shortage in JBM. Hurricane Sandy and coffee leaf rust impacted the production output of JBM for 2014 and 2015. Jamaica and the industry expect a slow recovery in output. This tightening of supplies caused JBM prices to increase by about 40% in 2014/2015. We are committed to ensuring our supply chain and providing our customers JBM. We are diligently working to secure more JBM as the market we created for it continues to expand. There still is a high demand for JBM in North America, but limited supply and rising costs may hurt sales. We are currently working to address the supply issues and while we believe we will be in a far better position throughout fiscal 2016 with respect to JBM availability, if we are unable to purchase a sufficient quantity of high-quality coffee beans, we may not be able to fulfill demand for our coffee, our revenue may decrease and our ability to expand our business may be negatively impacted.

The goal for the end of fiscal 2016 is to become EBITDA positive while increasing revenues. We will remain flexible in the implementation of our business strategy and will revise downward our funding requirements and further reduce our selling and marketing and our general and administrative expenses to a level that is in line with our financial means but consistent with our vision.
 
Our ability to meet our obligations in the ordinary course of business is dependent upon our ability to sell our products directly to end users and through distributors, establish profitable operations through increased sales and decreased expenses and obtain additional funds when needed.

Although our sales and revenues have increased significantly on an annual basis, the Company incurred a net loss of $10,280,985 and $6,704,030 for the years ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively and had an accumulated deficit of $24,043,833 at January 31, 2015, compared to a net loss of $1,197,236 and $1,913,189 for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $25,241,069 as of April 30, 2015. In addition, the Company has a history of losses and has not generated net income from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The operations of the Company have primarily been funded by the sale of common stock and debt financing. The Company’s ability to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business is dependent upon its ability to sell its products directly to end-users and through distributors, establish profitable operations through increased sales and decreased expenses, and obtain additional funds when needed. We may not be able to increase sales or reduce expenses to a level necessary to meet our current obligations or continue as a going concern. As a result, the opinion the Company received from its independent registered public accounting firm on its January 31, 2015 financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we become unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets, and may realize significantly less than the values at which they are carried on our financial statements, and stockholders may lose all or part of their investment in our common stock. The accompanying financial statements do not contain any adjustments for this uncertainty.

In addition to the above, the Company’s largest supplier of products recently agreed to extend the Company’s required terms of payment from thirty days to one hundred and twenty days from the date product is received, which will provide the Company approximately $1.5 million of short term capital in the near term.

Operating Activities
 
Compared to the corresponding period in 2014, net cash used in operating activities decreased by $306,308 for the three months ended April 30, 2015. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended April 30, 2015 was primarily due to $1,197,236 of net loss and $577,995 of increase in accounts receivable, offset by $368,046 of share-based employee compensation and $760,192 of increase in accounts payable.

 Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, was solely due to the purchase of property and equipment.

Financing Activities
 
Compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2014, net cash provided by financing activities decreased by approximately $2,196,087 for the three months ended April 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to the $2,500,000 of common shares sold to Mother Parkers for cash in the prior period (as described below), offset by $298,948 of financing on short term debt during the current period.
 
From time to time, we may attempt to raise capital through either equity or debt offerings. Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, among other things, the rate at which our business grows, with corresponding demands for working capital and expansion capacity. We could be required, or may elect, to seek additional funding through public or private equity, debt financing or bank financing.
 
Funding and Financing Agreements
 
Mother Parker’s Investment
 
On April 24, 2014, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee Inc. (“Mother Parkers” and the “Subscription”). Pursuant to the Subscription, Mother Parkers purchased 7,333,529 units from the Company, each consisting of (a) one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Shares”); and (b) one (1) warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants” and collectively with the Shares, the ”Units”) at a price per Unit equal to the fifty day weighted-average price per share of the Company’s common stock on the OTCQB market, for the fifty trading days ending March 7, 2014 (the date the parties first discussed the transactions contemplated by the Subscription), which was $0.3409 (the “Per Unit Price”). The total purchase price paid for the Units was $2,500,000.

Pursuant to the Subscription, we provided Mother Parkers a right of first refusal for a period of two (2) years following the Subscription, to purchase up to 10% of any securities (common stock, options or warrants exercisable for common stock) we propose to offer and sell in a public or private equity offering (the “ROFO Securities”), exercisable for 48 hours from the time we provide Mother Parkers notice of such proposed sale of ROFO Securities (subject where applicable to Mother Parkers meeting any prerequisites to participation in the offering). The right of first refusal does not apply to the issuance of (a) shares of common stock or options to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company in consideration for services, (b) securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the date of the Subscription, (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by the directors of the Company, provided that any such issuance shall provide the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital, and (d) any debt securities (other than any debt securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of common stock). The right of first refusal is not assignable and expires upon the first to occur of two (2) years following the date of the Subscription and the date Mother Parkers enters into or takes certain bankruptcy related actions.
 
The Warrants have an exercise price equal to 150% of the Per Unit Price ($0.51135 per share), a term of three years and prohibit Mother Parkers from exercising such Warrants to the extent such exercise would result in the beneficial ownership of more than 9.99% of the Company’s common stock, subject to Mother Parkers’ right to waive such limitation with 61 days prior written notice.
 
As described above, we also had certain accounts receivable due from, and certain accounts payable owed to, Mother Parkers, as of April 30, 2015.

Revolving Line of Credit
 
The Company entered into an unsecured Revolving Line of Credit Agreement with Colorado Medical Finance Services, LLC, dba Gold Gross Capital LLC on June 9, 2015, with an effective date of February 16, 2015.  The line of credit allows the Company the right to borrow up to $500,000 from the lender from time to time.  On March 26, 2015, the lender advanced $250,000 to us under the terms of the line of credit. Amounts owed under the line of credit are to be memorialized by revolving credit notes in the form attached to the line of credit, provided that no formal note has been entered into to advance amounts borrowed to date. Amounts borrowed under the line of credit accrue interest at the rate of 17.5% per annum and can be repaid at any time without penalty. A total of 10% of the interest rate is payable in cash and the other 7.5% of the interest rate is payable in cash, or at the option of the lender and with our consent, or by a reduction in amounts owed to us by the lender in connection with the sale of coffee or other promotional activities.  The line of credit expires, and all amounts are due under the line of credit on September 26, 2016.  The line of credit contains customary events of default, and upon the occurrence of an event of default the lender can suspend further advances and require the Company to declare the entire amount then owed immediately due, subject to a 10 day period pursuant to which we have the right to cure any default.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default the amounts owed under the line of credit bear interest at the rate of 20% per annum. Proceeds from the line of credit can be solely used for working capital purposes. The lender has no relationship with the Company or its affiliates.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As part of our on-going business, we have not participated in transactions that generate material relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (“SPEs”), which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangement or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of April 30, 2015, we are not involved in any material unconsolidated SPEs.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation. On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718 which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee service. We utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of employee stock based compensation at the date of grant, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fair value of our share-based compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fair value, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stock-based payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances.

We estimated volatility by considering historical stock volatility. We have opted to use the simplified method for estimating the expected term of stock options equal to the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual term.

Revenue Recognition. All revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service or sale is complete, the price is fixed or determinable and ability to collect is reasonably assured. Revenue is derived from the sale of coffee products and is recognized on a gross basis upon shipment. The Company utilizes a third party for the production and fulfillment of orders placed by customers. Customers order directly from the Company and accordingly, the Company acts as a principal, takes title to the products, and has the risks and rewards of ownership, such as the risk of loss for collection, delivery and returns.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets include a license agreement that was recorded at the estimated cost to acquire the asset (See Note 4 to the financial statements included in this report). The license agreement is reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values. Management evaluated the carrying value of the license and determined that no impairment existed at April 30, 2015 or 2014.
 
Accounts Receivable allowance. A provision for doubtful accounts is provided based on a combination of historical experience, specific identification and customer credit risk where there are indications that a specific customer may be experiencing financial difficulties.
 
Inventory Reserves. We estimate any required write-downs for inventory obsolescence by examining our inventories on a quarterly basis to determine if there are indicators that the carrying values could exceed net realizable value. Indicators that could result in additional inventory write-downs include age of inventory, damaged inventory, slow moving products and products at the end of their life cycles. While significant judgment is involved in determining the net realizable value of inventory, we believe that inventory is appropriately stated at the lower of cost or market.
 
Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance. We follow the provisions of ASC 740 relating to uncertain tax provisions and have commenced analyzing filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. As a result of adoption, no additional tax liabilities have been recorded. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in certain state jurisdictions. The Company has not been subjected to tax examinations for any year and the statute of limitations has not expired. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax benefits or consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and related accruals, deferred tax assets and liabilities. These include establishing a valuation allowance related to the ability to realize certain deferred tax assets. To the extent future taxable income against which these assets may be applied is not sufficient, some portion or all of our recorded deferred tax assets would not be realizable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
For the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, there were no accounting standards or interpretations issued that are expected to have a material impact on our financial position, operations or cash flows.
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard which will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. The new standard is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, among other things, companies will generally need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. The accounting standard will be effective for the Company in the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2017. The standard may be adopted using a full retrospective or a modified retrospective (cumulative effect) method. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating this standard and have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (“ASU 2014-12”). The guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. The guidance will be effective for the Company in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, if any, on its financial statements.
 
Management is evaluating the significance of the recent accounting pronouncement ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (subtopic 205-40); disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, and has not yet concluded whether the pronouncement will have a significant effect on the Company’s future financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting and Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
 
Based on our evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.
 
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses at January 31, 2015:
 
 
 
(1)
lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company’s Board of Directors capable to oversee the audit function;

 
 
(2)
inadequate segregation of duties due to limited number of personnel, which makes the reporting process susceptible to management override;


 
12

 

 
 
(3)
insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and

 
 
(4)
ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.
 
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (1) through (4) above did not have an effect on the Company’s financial reporting during the three months ended April 30, 2015.

We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, moving forward, at such time as we are able to raise additional funding, we plan to hire additional outside accounting personnel and take action to consolidate check writing and financial controls. Additionally, as soon as funds are available, we plan to make a determination as to whether it is in the Company’s best interest to (1) appoint one or more outside directors to our Board of Directors to be appointed to the audit committee of the Company resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources; (3) hire independent third parties to provide expert advice; and (4) prepare and implement sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
 
We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended April 30, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
 
From time to time, we may become party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business.
 
On July 28, 2014, Shane Whittle, individually, a former significant shareholder and officer and director of the Company (“Whittle”) filed a complaint against the Company in the District Court, City and County of Denver, State of Colorado (Case No. 2014-CV-032991 Division: 209). The complaint alleged that Whittle entered into a consulting agreement with the Company for which the Company failed to make payments and that Rohan Marley, as both a director of the Company and of Marley Coffee Canada, Inc., additionally agreed that, as part of Whittle’s consulting compensation, the Company would assume a debt owed by Marley Coffee Canada to Whittle. The cause of action set forth in the complaint includes breach of contract. Damages claimed by Whittle included $60,000 under the consulting agreement and $19,715 related to payments assumed by the Company.

Effective on March 31, 2015, the Company and Mr. Whittle entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release of Claims (the “Settlement”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to dismiss their claims associated with the District Court, City and County of Denver, State of Colorado (Case No. 2014-CV-032991 Division: 209), lawsuit described above. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Whittle $80,000 which was accrued as of January 31, 2015 (to be paid in equal payments of $10,000 per month beginning on April 1, 2015), the Company agreed to withdraw from a joinder in connection with the Federal Action pending between the parties (and certain other parties) as described below, the parties provided each other mutual releases and the parties agreed to mutually dismiss, with prejudice, their claims.  This case has since been dismissed with prejudice.

On September 30, 2014, Whittle individually, and derivatively on behalf of Marley Coffee LLC (“MC LLC”) filed a complaint against Rohan Marley, Cedella Marley, the Company, Hope Road Merchandising, LLC, Fifty-Six Hope Road Music Limited, and Marley Coffee Estate Limited in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado (Civil Action No. 2014-CV-2680).

The complaint alleges that Whittle entered into a partnership with Rohan Marley, the son of the late reggae music legend Robert Nesta Marley p/k/a Bob Marley, to sell premium coffee products branded after the name and likeness of Rohan Marley. The causes of action set forth in the complaint include, among others, racketeering activity, trademark infringement, breach of fiduciary duty, civil theft, and civil conspiracy (some of which causes of action are not directly alleged against the Company), which are alleged to have directly caused Whittle and Marley Coffee LLC substantial financial harm.

Damages claimed by Whittle and MC LLC include economic damages to be proven at trial, profits made by defendants, treble damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and pre and post judgment interest.

The Company has engaged legal counsel in the matter. The outcome of this lawsuit cannot be predicted with any degree of reasonable certainty. In the event the matter is not settled, the Company intends to continue to vigorously defend itself against Whittle’s and MC LLC’s claims.
 
On December 15, 2014, a complaint was filed against the Company in the Superior Court of State of California, for the County of Los Angeles – Central Division (Case Number: BC566749), pursuant to which Sky Consulting Group, Inc. (“Sky”), made various claims against the Company, Mr. Tran, the Company’s President and Director, Marley C&V International, and various other parties. The complaint alleged causes of action for breach of contract, fraud, negligent representation, intentional interference with contractual relationship and negligent interference with contractual relationship, relating to a May 2013 coffee distributor agreement between the Company and Sky, which provided Sky the right to sell Company branded coffee products in Korea. The suit seeks damages, punitive damages, court costs and attorney’s fees. The Company subsequently filed a motion to compel arbitration pursuant to the terms of the agreement, which was approved by the court on April 7, 2015. The outcome of this lawsuit cannot be predicted with any degree of reasonable certainty. As of the date of this filing the parties are currently in arbitration. In the event the matter is not settled in arbitration, the Company intends to continue to vigorously defend itself against the claims made by Sky.

In addition to the above, we may become involved in other material legal proceedings in the future.

Item 5. Other Information.

The Company entered into an unsecured Revolving Line of Credit Agreement with Colorado Medical Finance Services, LLC, dba Gold Gross Capital LLC on June 9, 2015, with an effective date of February 16, 2015.  The line of credit allows the Company the right to borrow up to $500,000 from the lender from time to time.  On March 26, 2015, the lender advanced $250,000 to us under the terms of the line of credit. Amounts owed under the line of credit are to be memorialized by revolving credit notes in the form attached to the line of credit, provided that no formal note has been entered into to advance amounts borrowed to date. Amounts borrowed under the line of credit accrue interest at the rate of 17.5% per annum and can be repaid at any time without penalty. A total of 10% of the interest rate is payable in cash and the other 7.5% of the interest rate is payable in cash, or at the option of the lender and with our consent, or by a reduction in amounts owed to us by the lender in connection with the sale of coffee or other promotional activities.  The line of credit expires, and all amounts are due under the line of credit on September 26, 2016.  The line of credit contains customary events of default, and upon the occurrence of an event of default the lender can suspend further advances and require the Company to declare the entire amount then owed immediately due, subject to a 10 day period pursuant to which we have the right to cure any default.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default the amounts owed under the line of credit bear interest at the rate of 20% per annum. Proceeds from the line of credit can be solely used for working capital purposes. The lender has no relationship with the Company or its affiliates.
 
On June 15, 2015, we issued a press release disclosing our results of operations for the three months ended April 20, 2015 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2014, and included certain information relating to our future plans for the remainder of fiscal 2016.  A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

On each Advance Date, the Borrower shall issue to the Lender an updated promissory note substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Line of Credit Note”) duly executed on behalf of the Borrower, dated as of the Advance Date and payable to the order of the Lender in the amount of all Advances made by the Lender to the Borrower as of such applicable Advance Date.  Each Line of Credit Note shall automatically replace and supersede any prior Line of Credit Note.  Each Line of Credit Note shall include on an exhibit thereto a summary of all prior Advances made by the Lender to the Borrower and the current outstanding amount of each such Advance (the “Advance Accounting”). Each Advance Accounting shall, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the total Advances outstanding under the Line of Credit Note.
 
 
2.3.2.

Each Notice shall specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Advance, (ii) the date of such requested Advance and (iii) the account where Borrower requests such Advance to be disbursed.

2.9
Compliance with Borrowing Base.  If at any time during the term of this Agreement, the Borrower obtains knowledge that the total principal amount of all Advances outstanding exceeds the Line of Credit Limit, the Borrower shall immediately reduce the principal amount of the Advance outstanding at that time by an amount equal to the excess.
 
 
2.10
Changing the Line of Credit Limit.  The Lender and the Borrower can mutually agree to change the Line of Credit Limit, such action to be added to this Agreement as an amendment signed by both parties.

Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Borrower shall, simultaneous with the termination of this Agreement, repay all Advances, including interest thereon, outstanding under the Line of Credit.

Marley Coffee Announces Results of Operations For Q1 – Gross Profits Rise by 76% and Quarterly Losses shrink to lowest levels in 2 Years
 
 
The company continues making distribution gains as it readies for the recyclable RealCup™ launch on July 29th

DENVER, June 16, 2015 -- Jammin Java Corp. (d/b/a Marley Coffee) (OTCQB:JAMN) (www.marleycoffee.com), the sustainably grown, ethically farmed and artisan-roasted gourmet coffee company, provides a summary of its first quarter results and its plans for the remainder of the current fiscal year. It will outline its launch of its Recyclable RealCup™, a sustainable and easy-to-recycle single-serve capsule that’s compatible with most Keurig® K-Cup® machines, how it’s streamlining its business and it’s plans for further growth.

Financial Highlights for the Fiscal First Quarter (three months ended April 30, 2015):
 
·
Quarter ended April 30, 2015 sales increased 27.9%($2,738,379) compared with last year's comparable sales while gross profits rose by 76% making it the 16th consecutive quarter that the company has grown its top line year over quarter since Mr. Brent Toevs took over as CEO.
 
·
Total operating expenses decreased by 27.4% showing continued efficient growth.
 
·
Net losses were down 37.4% compared to the same period last year and of those losses, ~$368,000 was attributed to stock based compensation, resulting in net losses before non-cash expenses of $829,191. We anticipate the losses for the three months ended July 31, 2015 to be the lowest the company has had to date and for that trend to continue through the rest of the year.  In addition, we anticipate that the company will become profitable by the fourth quarter of this fiscal year (i.e., that the company will show a profit for the fourth quarter of this fiscal year).

"We have been working hard as a team to not just prepare for the exciting launches in this upcoming year, but also the outlook of this company in the next 3 and 5 years," stated Rohan Marley, Chairman and Founder of Marley Coffee, who continued, "When we plan, we look for ‘catalytic events’ or projects that can truly drive the needle and push the company into the next level. We believe that Marley Coffee will have three of these events this year alone.”

Rohan Marley stated further, “On July 29th, we will be shipping our first recyclable RealCups and based on the feedback we’ve received from our retailers and consumer studies, we expect this to be a huge driver for revenue, profitability and social good. There is currently a serious garbage crisis and as the waste stream continues to grow, so will the pressures on our landfills, our resources, and our environment. We believe our recyclable Cup is a significant step forward in solving the 11 billion coffee capsule crisis. A recyclable capsule – isn’t it about time?"

 
 

 
“This was another quarter of growth and operating efficiencies,” explained Brent Toevs, Chief Executive Officer of Marley Coffee, who continued, “From a corporate strategy perspective, there are two key driving forces for the company during the remainder of the fiscal year 1) grow the business to profitability and 2) protect shareholder equity. I believe we have maintained those two strategies well this quarter. We’re continuing to work to grow the top line of our business while also trying to reduce our overhead. We’ve got some new initiatives this quarter that should help streamline our operating costs even further.”

Distribution
From a distribution standpoint, we expect that the company will see its biggest gains at the end of the second quarter and entering into the third quarter of the year. The feedback we have received is that retailers are excited for our Recyclable RealCup and we’re gaining additional shelf space for launch at the end of July. Some of the biggest gains are coming from our premium retailers. H-E-B added 4 new skus to take effect  in July. Wegmans added 3 skus of our RealCups Cup, which should be hitting shelves this week. Kroger added Smile Jamaica RealCups to ~1,300 shelves. Our international distribution continues to grow rapidly especially in Canada, Chile and South Korea. We also currently break out our revenue concentrations to the different countries in our quarterly filings.
 
There is a huge opportunity to disrupt the market today and provide consumers a choice. Based on our current distribution of approximately 7,200 shelves in the U.S. and an average of three skus of RealCups® per store, if we can get an additional customer to purchase one sku per store, per week, within our existing distribution, we believe we can generate approximately ~$6.7 million in additional revenue through a fiscal year. A 1% share of the market share of the market is about $50M in gross revenues.
 
Online
As part of our continuing efforts to push our online platform, we launched a new “My Cup” series, which are small batch, single origin, limited release specialty coffees available exclusively on the company’s online store as part of its recurring subscription or as a one-time product purchase.  The first My Cup batch is available in whole bean format in 10-ounce bags, hand-labeled and hand-numbered before being shipped with love from the company’s corporate headquarters in Denver, Colorado. The first batch in the series, Congo Kivu, is a top-grade bean sourced from the Eastern Congo chosen for the complex flavor notes and unique story behind the coffee from this exceptional growing region. Future My Cup series will be sourced from renowned coffee regions around the world to highlight diverse offerings and help create positive change in coffee regions globally. Additionally, for every bag sold a contribution is made to Water Wise Coffee™ to fund clean water initiatives. Subscribers to the My Cup series will enjoy convenient auto-shipments of each new batch every three months.

 
 

 
Recyclable Cup Launch and Marketing Support
The Company, alongside its partner Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee (its distribution partner), is putting a lot of effort into the launch of the recyclable RealCup™ both on shelf and out of store. This will be done through a combination of multi-city,tasting/ demonstration tours that will focus on driving sales velocities spending 6 weeks in each market and supported by PR, social media and alongside an  aggressive online strategy to raise awareness and drive trial including some very innovative video and digital content.

Financing Growth and Shareholder Support
The company has looked to raising debt to finance its current growth, which is preferable to raising capital through equity. The company’s largest supplier of products extended its required terms of payment from thirty days to one hundred and twenty days from the date product is received, which provides us approximately $1.5 million of short term capital in the near term. Additionally, we have entered into an unsecured Revolving Line of Credit, which allows us the right to borrow up to $500,000 from the lender from time to time. These financing options, as well as certain other financings the company is in discussions regarding, should give us the ability to continue our operations for the next 12 months while still investing in our growth.

As part of the company’s ongoing efforts to streamline our business and focus on larger projects, we are currently in negotiations to sell off the operations previously acquired from Black Rock Beverages, which we operate as a local OCS route distributor, to a larger local OCS company in the Colorado region. Revenues from the division should come in at the same rate after the proposed sale, but the plan is to scale revenues through a larger distribution company while reducing the overhead of running the division itself. The plan is to increase revenues, while reducing the company’s selling, general and administrative expenses by over $200,000 a year. The company expects to close the deal within the second quarter, provided that such transaction may not close within such time frame, on favorable terms, if at all.

The company’s primary goal is to continue to grow, but to get to profitability on a quarter-by-quarter basis by the end of the current fiscal year. This would move us into a completely different category, which potentially will allow us to refinance our lines of credit into bank debt and obtain more favorable terms for future funding. We are currently talking to local banks to prepare the company for this anticipated milestone.

Conclusion
Our objective, long-term, is to grow from a small-medium coffee company to a large company that can compete nationally and internationally,” added Brent Toevs. “From a business perspective, over the next 3 years our goal is to expand our domestic grocery distribution and fill the gap of 36,000 retail grocery stores and 10,000 other retail outlets, continue to expand our international presence and scale our ecommerce coffee of the month membership club. From a corporate perspective, we’re fully aware that being a sub dollar company traded on the OTCQB makes it difficult to bring in more analyst coverage and get institutional buying. It is our goal to look to qualify to uplist to Nasdaq or NYSE-MKT within the next year.
