PART I

ITEM 1.

BUSINESS

Background of Jamba, Inc.

Jamba, Inc. wholly-owns Jamba Juice Company, a leading restaurant retailer of better-for-you beverage and food offerings. Jamba Juice Company owns and franchises Jamba Juice stores and otherwise seeks to expand the Jamba brand through the retail consumer packaged goods market and in non-traditional venues where a Jamba Juice store or kiosk would not be feasible.

Jamba, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on January 6, 2005 as a blank check company formed to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of a then unidentified operating business. On July 6, 2005, Jamba, Inc. consummated its initial public offering. On March 10, 2006, Jamba, Inc. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Jamba Juice Company, which first began operations in 1990. The merger between Jamba, Inc. and Jamba Juice Company (the “Merger”) was completed on November 29, 2006.

Unless the context otherwise requires, Jamba, Inc., the registrant, together with Jamba Juice Company, are referred to in this Form 10-K annual report (“Form 10-K”) as the “Company”, “Jamba”, “we”, “us” and “our.” Information regarding the Company’s fiscal periods is included in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Narrative Description of Business

Jamba Juice’s better-for-you beverage and food offerings include great tasting smoothies, juices and teas, hot oatmeal made with organic steel cut oats, probiotic fruit and yogurt blends, Whirl’ns frozen yogurt, wraps, salads, sandwiches, California Flatbreads, and a variety of baked goods and snacks. As of December 28, 2010, Jamba Juice had 743 locations consisting of 351 company-owned and operated stores (“Company Stores”) and 392 franchise stores (“Franchise Stores”), making it one of the largest smoothie retailers in the United States by store count. As of December 28, 2010, Jamba Juice also had nine license agreements in place covering a variety of consumer packaged goods.

The BLEND Plan—Our Strategic Priorities

The BLEND Plan continues to be the Company’s strategic plan to transform the Jamba brand from a made-to-order smoothie company to a healthy, active lifestyle brand. In fiscal 2010, we continued to achieve significant progress against the BLEND Plan strategies and in doing so we continue to evolve and develop the BLEND Plan. The key strategic priorities for our BLEND Plan in fiscal 2011 include:

•

Continue to build a customer first, operationally focused service culture;

•

Continue to expand our beverage and food menu offerings across all four day parts (breakfast, lunch, afternoon, and dinner);

•

Continue to accelerate the development of franchise and non-traditional stores;

•

Continue to build a consumer products growth platform; and

•

Continue to implement a disciplined expense management plan.

These strategic priorities support the Company’s mission to continue to grow and develop Jamba as a premier healthy, active lifestyle brand, offering consumers compelling and differentiated products and experiences at Jamba Juice stores and other retail distribution channels. Key to our success is the Jamba culture, a unique set of core values and actions that manifest themselves in employees and franchisees executing at the highest levels while expressing their passion for the brand.

Continue to Build a Customer First, Operationally Focused Service Culture

A major aspect of our BLEND Plan is to continue to improve the level and consistency of customer service at our stores. As we move our business model of predominantly Company Stores to one of predominantly Franchise Stores, we are devoting significant resources to ensure that all stores offer a superior customer experience. We believe a great customer experience will help to drive customer loyalty and satisfaction, thus increasing frequency of visits and market share.

In 2010, we implemented a store excellence guide designed to improve operational execution and performance by setting comprehensive standards to achieve and maintain. We also began the transition from a system-wide mystery shop program to a customer survey program to better monitor the customer experience and validate excellence in our customer service standards across the system. For Company Store managers, we also recently instituted a new bonus program that rewards customer service goal achievements. We have also strengthened our customer service program “Jamba on Stage” for the entire system. We believe these changes have both positively impacted customer satisfaction during the year and better positioned the Company to ensure that both Company Stores and Franchise Stores are delivering the key drivers of customer satisfaction on a consistent basis. Our continued focus on technological and procedural enhancements, in areas such as labor management and scheduling, relieves our store managers from unnecessary administrative reporting and enables them to better focus on delivering exceptional customer service. We have also leveraged technology to better communicate with our stores and to augment and improve our training programs.

We continued to strengthen our relationships with franchisees to better assist them with rollouts of new products and marketing campaigns, provide best practices, and obtain franchisee feedback.

In anticipation of future growth, we recently embarked on a review of the store environment and customer experience to help ensure we are positioned properly over the coming years to reinforce the vibrant and fun atmosphere customers expect from Jamba Juice stores, while at the same time delivering improved returns on investment.

We continue to focus on off-site sales that involve bringing Jamba Juice products to sell at an event such as a school, community or sporting events or for delivery to businesses or other organizations for meetings, parties and other special occasions. Our commitment to health and wellness in schools is evidenced in the growth of our school lunch program. With continued national concern over childhood obesity and nutrition, Jamba is well positioned to help schools provide nutritional and healthful beverage and food options to students. Another component of this effort is the enhancement of our fundraising opportunities for non-profit organizations.

Continue to Expand our Beverage and Food Menu Offerings Across All Four Day Parts (breakfast, lunch, afternoon and dinner)

Menu Overview

We have traditionally provided a range of freshly blended beverages, baked goods and snacks in our stores. Our menu items are designed to strengthen the relationship with our customers by offering products that are relevant to individuals striving to pursue a healthy, active lifestyle. Product innovation is a high priority and our research and development team, composed of food scientists, quality assurance specialists and food industry experts, is continually developing and testing new and improved menu items that support the integrity of the Jamba brand and our commitment to offering great tasting products made from high quality ingredients.

In furtherance of this goal, we continuously seek to improve our products and develop new ones to help mitigate weather and seasonality, create points of differentiation, optimize day parts and operating efficiencies, and encourage habitual behavior. Examples of products we introduced in 2010 and early 2011 include:

•

A number of seasonally relevant, limited time offerings, including:

•

New Superfruit products utilizing Yumberry, or ‘yangmei.’ This Superfruit is blended into Super Yumberry Classic Smoothie, Berry Yumberry All Fruit Smoothie and Yumberry Topper Ideal Meal.

•

Jamba Probiotic Fruit and Yogurt Blends are healthy, refreshing yogurt drinks made with Jamba’s Probiotic Boost. This product is offered in three flavors—Vibrant Blueberry(TM), Strawberries Alive(TM) and Thrivin’ Mango(TM). The Probiotic smoothies are made with whole fruits and probiotics, and they are an excellent source of Vitamin C. Jamba Probiotic Fruit and Yogurt Blends rolled out in early 2011 for a limited time across the entire system.

•

Our hot beverage platform, all or portion of which are currently available in more than 384 Jamba Juice stores system-wide. Our current hot beverage offerings include four Hot Blends beverages prepared in a blender, including three Chai tea flavors and a Classic Hot Chocolate made with premium natural and organic ingredients, six varieties of Mighty Leaf ^® organic tea pouches, and Jamba Juice’s first-ever hot coffee offerings, including made-to-order boosted Coffee Hot Blends and fresh, organic coffee brewed by the cup.

•

Whirl’ns Frozen Yogurt, a line of specialty frozen yogurt treats featuring signature flavors found only at Jamba Juice. This line is currently available in 22 select Northern California locations, with a regional rollout planned for the summer season.

In 2010, we created the “iDistrict” (short for Innovation District), a group of 18 Company Stores used to test major process enhancements, promotions, and product initiatives in a representative cross-section of store types and markets. The iDistrict allows us to accelerate our receipt and response of store and customer feedback to new initiatives, allowing us to quickly make adjustments and improve the quality of products and processes we deliver to the system.

We plan to grow our beverage and food capability further during fiscal 2011. In particular, we plan to expand our breakfast offerings in 2011 with menu items that complement our existing breakfast menu and utilize the Turbo Chef ovens already employed across the system. We also plan to launch our first ever fruit and vegetables smoothie platform.

We strive to utilize organic ingredients in our menu offerings and other products when they meet our quality, cost, and supply assurance standards. Our menu currently includes six organic hot teas, hot oatmeal made with organic steel cut oats, and healthy blended breakfast smoothies topped with organic granola. In addition, we offer a range of organic, high-quality, packaged, good-for-you snacks. We also utilize organic sanitizers in many of our stores.

The items in our “grab-and-go” food portfolio, which are continually being refined and optimized, are supplied to us by a single supplier using regional co-packers and are distributed to our system stores by multiple distributors.

We continue to believe there is consumer demand for better-for-you on-the-go food items that is not being fulfilled by other quick service restaurants. Our menu options continue to meet our four mandatory core standards: 0 grams of trans fat, no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial preservatives, and no artificial flavors. Our goal is for Jamba Juice to be the leader in the specialty better-for-you beverage retailer segment.

Product Innovation

Our research and development team continually seeks to enhance the product offerings available to customers, and where possible, reduce product and labor costs. Our research and development process includes

both the development of new products and the optimization of existing menu items to ensure only the most appealing products are offered to customers. We are passionate about creating differentiated, healthy, active lifestyle products that meet an even greater breadth and depth of customer needs. While there is no certainty that product development efforts will lead to the introduction and success of new product offerings or a potential increase in operating margins, we will continue to use these resources to try to develop unique concepts that appeal to customers at any time of day and in any weather or season.

Continue to accelerate the Development of Franchise and Non-Traditional Stores

Jamba Juice Stores

A primary goal of the Company is to grow our brand by establishing more points of distribution to make it easier for customers to experience all that Jamba has to offer. We believe we have significant market expansion opportunities both nationally and internationally. Our market planning has shown that there is potential for at least 2,700 total Jamba Juice “traditional” and “non-traditional” stores in the United States, all of which we believe can be profitable and would meet our new store opening criteria.

We have grown our concept and brand through Company Store and Franchise Store locations. As of December 28, 2010, there were 743 Jamba Juice locations consisting of 351 Company Stores and 392 Franchise Stores operating in 23 states and the Bahamas. Of the 743 locations, 391 stores are located in California, of which 293 are Company Stores and 98 are Franchise Stores. We lease the real estate for all of our Company Stores.

We generally characterize our stores as either “traditional” or “non-traditional” locations. Traditional locations are characterized as a business premise that exists primarily as a Jamba Juice store. Traditional stores average approximately 1,400 square feet in size. These stores are located either in major urban centers or in suburban strip mall centers. As of December 28, 2010, there were 594 traditional Jamba Juice store locations.

Non-traditional locations are characterized as a Jamba Juice store located within another primary business in conjunction with other businesses or at institutional settings such as colleges and universities, shopping malls, supermarkets and airports. A “captive” audience is a common characteristic of non-traditional locations. We believe one benefit of the development of non-traditional stores is to increase awareness of the Jamba Juice brand to complement the traditional stores in the area. As of December 28, 2010, there were 149 non-traditional Jamba Juice store locations.

We continue to innovate in the design of traditional and non-traditional stores as well. Our goal is to vary the size and format of our stores to allow us to locate them in or near a variety of settings. As a result, the typical costs to construct a Jamba Juice non-traditional stores ranges from $185,000 to $408,000 and the typical costs to construct a traditional Jamba Juice store ranges from $264,000 to $462,000. We believe a variety of formats will provide a greater degree of customer access and convenience to our stores that will help attract franchisees and help provide them a higher return on investment on their capital expenditures.

Express Platform

To further expand our brand, in 2010 we launched an innovative new Express platform utilizing compact technology to make select smoothie flavors in “stations” using pre-packaged ingredients. The Express platform targets venues with high volume and needing high-speed service where a full-sized Jamba Juice store or kiosk would not be feasible. Such venues include schools, grocery stores, stadiums, theaters, and select airport locations. Included in the Franchise Store count in 2010 were five Express platform franchise locations. The Company generates revenue from the Express platform through a markup on the smoothie ingredients and through franchise fees.

International Franchising

Our brand and products have international appeal, and we have attracted interest from business partners overseas. In 2005, we launched our first international store in the Bahamas. In 2010 we signed an agreement with SPC Group to develop Jamba Juice stores in South Korea. SPC Group currently operates over 4,500 stores and is actively developing franchises and its bakery business through affiliates such as Paris Croissant, BR Korea (Baskin Robbins, Dunkin Donuts), Shany, and Samlip General Foods. Our first Jamba Juice store opened in South Korea at Incheon International Airport in January 2011, and we expect SPC Group to open up to 200 stores in South Korea over the next decade. We work closely with SPC Group to develop and implement the Jamba Juice system, recognizing commercial, cultural and dietary diversity.

We continue to engage in discussions with additional potential partners regarding the expansion of Jamba Juice stores into various international markets. The success of further international expansion will depend on, among other things, local acceptance of the Jamba Juice concept and menu offerings and our ability to attract qualified franchisees. Our agreements take the form of development and franchise agreements under which we typically receive an initial territory fee, store opening fees, and ongoing royalty revenues based on a percentage of sales.

Franchising—Growth Strategy

The focus of our growth strategy is to continue to expand the development of traditional and non-traditional Franchise Stores and the Express platform franchise locations. We believe this franchise strategy will better position us for growth in market share, reduce capital outlays, provide better overall margins, allow us to open more stores at a faster pace, increase our brand presence to support other Company initiatives such as consumer products licensing program, and increase customer frequency. In 2010, through the sale of 105 Company Stores to franchisees and the development of 30 new Franchise Stores, we increased franchise ownership within the Jamba Juice system from approximately 35% to approximately 53%. With the anticipated completion of our refranchising program, and predominately new growth through Franchise Store development, we expect the percentage of Franchise Stores at the end of 2011 to be approximately 60%.

For fiscal 2010, Franchisees opened thirty new Franchise Stores, closed four Franchise Stores (two through natural lease expiration and two through early termination), and acquired 105 Company Stores which are now operated as Franchise Stores in refranchising transactions.

We continuously monitor Franchise Store operations, principally through our Regional Franchise Leaders. Company representatives make both scheduled and unannounced inspections of Franchise Stores to ensure that only approved products are in use and that our prescribed operations practices and procedures are being followed. We have the right to terminate a franchise agreement if a franchisee does not operate and maintain a Franchise Store in accordance with our requirements. We also monitor the financial health of our franchisees through business and financial reviews.

We maintain a Franchise Advisory Council (“FAC”). The FAC formalizes a channel of communication through a representative group of franchisees to provide advice, counsel and input to us on important issues impacting the business.

Franchising—Our Franchising Program

Through our franchising program, we offer franchisees choices in store format and number of stores they wish to operate including (i) traditional store venues such as single store franchises, (ii) nontraditional store venues such as mall, university, supermarket or airport locations, (iii) Express platform locations, and (iv) exclusive multi-unit license agreements in which the franchisee develops and operates a specified number of stores within a specified period of time within a specified geographic area, which we call area development agreements (as described in Franchising—Area Development Agreements below).

Our current traditional store franchise agreement provides for an initial 10-year term. The agreement is renewable for two consecutive 10-year terms, subject to various conditions and state law. The royalty rate in the current franchise agreement for domestic locations is generally 5.5-6% of revenue, with franchisees required to contribute up to an additional 4% of revenue to a company-administered advertising fund. At the present time, in general, we are charging 2% of revenue as the marketing contribution for our traditional store franchisees. Traditional store franchisees are also expected to spend 1.5% of sales on local marketing efforts. There is typically up to a one-mile geographic radius restriction for traditional stores in non-downtown areas. The royalty rates and marketing contributions for non-traditional stores vary depending upon type (airport, college or university or supermarket).

Franchisees typically pay an initial fee of up to $25,000 for traditional store locations and an initial fee ranging from zero-$15,000 for non-traditional store locations. We generally do not provide any form of financing to our franchisees.

Express platform franchise locations pay an initial fee of $5,000, have an initial term of 5-years, with successive one-year renewals, and instead of royalties pay a mark-up on ingredient purchases.

Franchising—Area Development Agreements

As of December 28, 2010, we had eleven area developers who have the right to develop additional Franchise Stores pursuant to development agreements. The exclusive territories covered by these agreements include selected markets in the states of Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, Utah and Washington.

As of December 28, 2010, ten of the eleven developers had contractual commitments to open an aggregate of 43 new Franchise Stores in their respective territories over the next several years. Seven of the eleven development agreements were entered into in connection with refranchising transactions (see below) where a purchaser of Company Stores also agrees to develop new Franchise Stores.

Area developers typically enter into a separate franchise agreement for each store opened. Under typical development agreements, the area developer generally pays one-half of a $20,000-$25,000 initial fee, or $10,000-$12,500, for each store required to be developed upon execution of the multi-unit development agreement as a development fee. Area developers are obligated to finance their own build-out of each store location according to our specifications.

We also continue to strengthen our relationships with beverage and food concessionaires operating at non-traditional venues such as universities, airports, and other retail and entertainment venues to help maximize our non-traditional franchise development.

Franchising—Our Refranchising Initiative

initiative has helped us to accelerate growth, achieve certain operational efficiencies, and position franchisees and aspiring area developers with local or regional expertise to succeed by providing a core of established stores within their exclusive development area.

Under the refranchising initiative, we initially planned to complete the refranchising of up to 150 Company Stores to new or existing franchisees. During fiscal 2010, we completed the sale of 105 Company Stores in fifteen separate refranchising transactions, bringing the refranchising program total to 132 Company Stores sold. We expect to conclude our refranchising program with the sale of 41 Company Stores in the Chicago and Minneapolis markets in early 2011.

In many refranchising transactions, we entered into development agreements committing buyers to build additional Franchise Stores in the regions their purchased stores occupy. In addition, as part of these refranchising transactions, buyers of mature Company Stores are obligated to refresh and refurbish these stores.

Franchising—Market Planning and Site Selection Process

Our market planning and site selection process is integral to the successful execution of our growth strategy. We have processes for identifying, analyzing, and assigning undeveloped markets for either Company Store or Franchise Store development. Once a market is selected, we carefully screen trade areas for demand based on demographic, psychographic and Jamba Juice specific variables to assess the risk of developing a store or permitting a franchisee to do so. We review trade areas to ensure that they meet our guidelines for new store development and begin the site selection or approval process. Once a trade area is approved, we carefully screen prospective locations for visibility, traffic patterns, ease-of-use and co-tenancy for potential Company Store and Franchise Store locations. Our expansion strategy involves using this market planning and site selection process to leverage areas of demand within each market. We intend to use this approach to encourage the clustering of stores in specific geographic areas of demand, which we believe will drive brand awareness, improve operating and marketing efficiencies for Franchise Stores while leveraging the costs associated with regional supervision. Distribution efficiencies can also be realized through this strategy. In addition, we believe the ability to hire qualified team members is enhanced in markets where Jamba is a broadly recognized brand.

In addition to our own efforts, we are approached by sophisticated concessionaires and contract feeders whose independent research has identified us as ideal for locations such as universities, sport venues, airports, and other non-traditional venues where they have exclusive rights from venue owners to develop. When it fits our expansion strategies, these opportunities are incorporated into our own plans.

Continue to Build a Consumer Products Growth Platform

Extending the Jamba brand into the retail consumer packaged goods market continues to provide significant business opportunities. At the close of 2010, the Company had nine license agreements in place. These nine agreements include one with Nestlé USA to introduce a line of all-natural, fruit-based energy drinks. This line of products was launched in February 2011 in the northeastern United States. In addition to energy beverages, the Company also signed agreements with One Natural Experience (O.N.E.) to develop a line of fruit-infused coconut water beverages. This new line of Jamba-branded coconut water beverages will be brought to market via the O.N.E. distribution system, which includes distribution through the Pepsi Beverage Company. The Company also signed agreements with Zola for a line of functional daily Brazilian super fruit shots, with Johnvince Foods for all-naturally boosted trail mixes, and with Sundia Corporation for functionally boosted fruit cups.

We continue to have discussions with potential licensees regarding new and complimentary product categories that we believe are a good fit with the Jamba brand. Our goal is to extend our product offerings outside of our Jamba Juice stores to not only generate revenue, but also to expand the brand accessibility and product usage occasions available to consumers. All of our agreements to date have been structured as license agreements, whereby we receive ongoing royalties based on a percentage of product sales. In the future, to support and optimize our brand extension, we may structure these relationships in other ways such as joint venture agreements, co-packing agreements, and sales and distribution agreements.

In 2010, we entered into a non-binding memorandum of intent with Core-Mark Holdings Company, Inc. to establish a relationship to offer and deliver health-oriented Jamba branded beverage and food consumer products, including those produced by Jamba licensees, to Core-Mark serviced convenience retail locations. This relationship represents one way we can assist our licensees in commercializing the licensed Jamba-branded products at retail.

Continue to Implement a Disciplined Expense Management Plan

This strategic priority affects all aspects of our system in our efforts to continue to improve store-level profitability and returns for Company Store and Franchise Stores. Strong store-level economics is critical to the Company’s success and therefore management is diligently focused on initiatives to improve these metrics. We also monitor our general and administrative expenses so that we may better leverage our existing infrastructure in support of our growth strategy.

Store Operations

Company Store Management

We believe operational excellence at both the Company Store level and the Franchise Store level is vital to the Company’s success. Our Company Store field and store operations team plays a critical role in maximizing the performance of our stores across the system. We recruit and retain leaders with broad experience in management and our industry. We support our Company Store operations with a combination of Area Directors of Operations and District Managers.

Our typical Company Store operations team consists of a combination of a General Manager at each store, two to four Shift Managers and approximately 10 to 20 front line team members depending on the time of year. We continually evaluate opportunities to optimize our labor planning algorithms further to achieve optimal staffing levels throughout the day, which may help us reduce staffing costs at certain stores under certain circumstances.

Maintaining our culture in Company Stores as well as Franchise Stores is essential as we continue to expand, and we believe that it is critical to developing our brand and ensuring our continued success. We believe team members are the key to our success and support the development of a culture that fosters personal interaction, mutual respect, trust, empowerment, enthusiasm and commitment.

Training

We conduct various training programs for franchisees, team members, support center staff and our leadership team. We are dedicated to providing a meaningful experience for all employees, with ample opportunity to develop leadership skills as they move up through the organization. Our training programs include formal programs such as the Manager-in-Training programs for new managers and informal one-on-one discussions held between General Managers, District Managers and Area Directors of Operations. All of our training programs reinforce the importance of strong customer service and sales skills. We also make training materials and best practice information available to our franchisees to help create, preserve, and support a singular culture of excellence within all of the stores that comprise our system.

Recruiting and Retention

We carefully screen potential employees to ensure that they hold many of our core values and fit into our culture. By maintaining this emphasis and encouraging responsibility and accountability at every level, we believe that we have created a sense of team member loyalty and an open and interactive work environment, resulting in a highly passionate workforce. Our employees are paid competitive wages and are offered opportunities for advancement. In addition to competitive wages, store managers are eligible for performance-

based bonuses. We also provide best practice information, qualifications and other information to our franchisees to assist them with hiring and retention and to preserve a singular culture within the stores that comprise our system.

Advertising and Marketing

Our marketing strategy focuses on promoting Jamba Juice as a healthy, active lifestyle brand for consumers who prefer not to sacrifice taste or quality. Marketing efforts are primarily concentrated on creating local buzz that will generate positive word-of-mouth, an approach we call “owning the trade area” around our stores. We also use social media outlets to encourage greater frequency of visits from existing customers and to drive trial and awareness among potential new customers. Currently we have over 850,000 fans who “Like” us on Facebook and over 6,000 followers on Twitter. Consistent with the origins of our brand, we also engage local non-profits and community organizations to drive brand awareness, trial and usage frequency among their members. We also look to our Jamba-branded consumer products licensees to generate brand awareness through their advertising and promotion efforts.

In general, each traditional store, whether a Company Store or Franchise Store, presently contributes 2% of sales to a national marketing fund and is also expected to spend an additional 1.5% of sales on local marketing efforts. In addition, the Company plans to develop regional advertising initiatives to assist certain regions spend a portion of their local marketing spending obligations. We engage in marketing campaigns to enhance national brand awareness. We use print, radio, email, online and other advertising media in furtherance of this goal.

We also benefit from national media attention relating to some of our programs. Historically, we have not engaged in any mass media marketing programs; nevertheless, we have been featured in stories appearing in nationally syndicated papers, including The Wall Street Journal and a host of local newspapers and magazines. We have also received product placement in television shows and feature films. Our participation in local fundraising events also helps capture a significant amount of coverage from local television stations.

Product Supply

We are committed to providing only the finest smoothies, juices and other food products. Smoothie and juice products depend heavily upon supplies of fresh and individually quick frozen (“IQF”) fruit. The quality of each smoothie depends to a large degree on the quality of the basic fruit ingredients from which it is made. It is therefore essential that the supply of fruit is of the highest quality and is consistent throughout the year. To achieve these goals we purchase our projected requirements for the coming year of a given type of fruit from suppliers at the height of the season for that particular fruit. The supply and price of fresh and IQF fruit are dependent upon the supply and demand at the time of purchase and are subject to significant volatility. Supply and price can be affected by multiple factors in the producing regions, including weather, natural disasters and regional political and economic conditions. In addition, as we continue to grow, we will likely become more dependent upon global fruit supplies than we have in the past, which could allow natural disasters and global political and economic conditions to have a greater effect on the supply and price of our fruit ingredients and our profitability.

Southwest Traders, Inc. is a distributor of proprietary products to our Company Stores and Franchise Stores. Southwest Traders distributed ingredients that made up approximately 75% of cost of goods for Jamba Juice Company during fiscal 2010. Southwest Traders does not manufacture or negotiate pricing agreements for products sold in our stores. They serve solely in a warehousing and distribution capacity.

In 2010, the Company initiated a program whereby the Company’s purchasing organization for Company Stores and Franchise Stores would be funded by all Company Stores and Franchise Stores instead of solely out of the Company’s general and administrative expenses. This change became necessary as we started to move from a predominately Company Store model to a Franchise Store model in order to achieve the funding levels required

to procure, manage, and support suppliers with respect to products, equipment, and distribution services to support the system. The funding for this program is achieved from a mark-up of certain products purchased by Company Stores and Franchise Stores, which is subsequently rebated back to the Company by the supplier. We believe this program allows the Company to provide the best supply chain services to achieve the highest quality of products at the lowest prices and in compliance with the Company’s quality and safety standards. We also believe this program better aligns the interests of the Company Stores and the Franchise Stores from a cost of goods perspective.

Competition

The retail beverage and food industry is highly competitive and fragmented. Restaurants compete based on a number of factors, including quality, price-value relationships, customer service, name recognition, employee hiring and retention and location. We compete with a variety of purveyors of quick, convenient beverage and food products, including quick service restaurants/fast food establishments, coffee shops, donut shops and grocery stores. While competition in the beverage and food market is fragmented, competition is increasing, and a major competitor with substantially greater resources than the Company could enter the market at any time and compete directly against Jamba Juice stores.

We compete most directly with regional smoothie stores, most of which are franchises of other smoothie brands. The rising popularity of convenient and healthy food items may result in increased competition from non-smoothie retailers as they increase their offerings of smoothies and other juice-related products, and as we increase our food offerings we will be placing ourselves into direct competition with other quick serve food concepts with well established businesses. In 2010, we believe competition from McDonald’s nationwide introduction and promotion of its new smoothie line negatively impacted Company Store sales in the third quarter when they were introduced. However, in the subsequent quarter we regained our number one market share smoothie category leader and we believe in the longer term that the McDonald’s launch will be beneficial by expanding consumer awareness of the smoothie category.

In addition, we also face intense competition from both restaurants and other specialty retailers for suitable sites for new stores and qualified personnel to operate both new and existing stores. There can be no assurance that the Company or our franchisees will be able to continue to secure adequate sites at acceptable rent levels or that the Company or franchisees will be able to attract a sufficient number of qualified personnel to operate our stores.

Government Regulation and Environmental Matters

Government Regulation. We are subject to extensive and varied federal, state and local government regulation, including regulations relating to public health and safety and zoning codes. We operate each of our stores in accordance with standards and procedures designed to comply with applicable codes and regulations. However, if we could not obtain or retain food or other licenses, it would adversely affect our operations. Although we have not experienced, and do not anticipate, any significant difficulties, delays or failures in obtaining required licenses, permits or approvals, any such problem could delay or prevent the opening of, or adversely impact the viability of, a particular store or group of stores.

California and other states and local jurisdictions have enacted laws, rules, regulations and ordinances which may apply to the operation of a Company Store, including those which (a) establish general standards, specifications and requirements for the construction, design and maintenance of the store premises; (b) regulate matters affecting the health, safety and welfare of our customers, such as general health and sanitation requirements for restaurants; employee practices concerning the storage, handling, cooking and preparation of food; special health, food service and licensing requirements; restrictions on smoking; exposure to tobacco smoke or other carcinogens or reproductive toxicants and saccharin; availability of and requirements for public

accommodations, including restrooms; (c) set standards pertaining to employee health and safety and mandatory health insurance; (d) set standards and requirements for fire safety and general emergency preparedness; (e) regulate the proper use, storage and disposal of waste, insecticides and other hazardous materials; (f) establish general requirements or restrictions on advertising containing false or misleading claims, or health and nutrient claims on menus or otherwise, such as “low calorie”, “fat free” or “organic”; (g) establish requirements concerning withholdings and employee reporting of taxes on tips and (h) regulate or ban the use of polystyrene cups.

In order to develop and construct more stores, we or our franchisees need to comply with applicable zoning, land use and environmental regulations. Federal and state environmental regulations have not had a material effect on our operations to date, but expansion of our menu offerings or more stringent and varied requirements of local governmental bodies with respect to zoning, land use and environmental factors could delay or even prevent construction and increase development costs for new stores. We and our franchisees are also required to comply with the accessibility standards mandated by the U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act, which generally prohibits discrimination in accommodation or employment based on disability. We may, in the future, have to modify stores, for example, by adding access ramps or redesigning certain architectural fixtures, to provide service to or make reasonable accommodations for disabled persons. While these expenses could be material, our current expectation is that any such action will not require us to expend substantial funds.

We are subject to the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act, the U.S. Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and various federal and state laws governing various matters including minimum wages, overtime and other working conditions. We pay a significant number of our hourly staff at rates consistent with but higher than the applicable federal or state minimum wage. Accordingly, increases in the minimum wage would increase our labor cost. We are also subject to various laws and regulations relating to our current and any future franchise operations. See “Risk Factors—Governmental regulation may adversely affect our ability to open new stores or otherwise adversely affect our existing and future operations and results.”

We are also subject to various federal and state laws that regulate the offer and sale of franchises and aspects of the licensor-licensee relationships. Many state franchise laws impose restrictions on the franchise agreement, including the duration and scope of non-competition provisions, the ability of a franchisor to terminate or refuse to renew and the ability of a franchisor to designate sources of supply. The Federal Trade Commission, or the FTC, and some state laws also require that the franchisor furnish to prospective franchisees a franchise disclosure document that contains prescribed information and, in some instances, require the franchisor to register the franchise offering.

Environmental Matters. We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations concerning the use of polystyrene products, and several counties in which our stores are located have already banned the use of our polystyrene cups. As more state and local governments take actions to preserve the environment we may be subject to further bans on the use of polystyrene cups. A federal ban on the use of polystyrene cups would force us to eliminate the use of polystyrene products system wide. We are actively exploring economically viable alternatives to polystyrene cups, which can provide the same quality and integrity of our frozen smoothies to ensure customer satisfaction.

During 2010, we continued to make progress on new eco-sustainability initiatives first launched in 2009. We focused on waste reduction, increasing the use of recyclable products and utilizing more organic ingredients. Our green initiatives include the introduction of more environmentally friendly packaging for our products, the launch of several optimization programs to reduce waste, participation in recycling programs, and participation in composting programs for of our food waste where it is feasible for us to do so. Among the packaging improvements made to date are the introduction of new cup carriers, oatmeal cups and lids, breakfast clear cups and lids, spoons and napkins that are made from recycled material. We have also reduced the amount of corrugated cardboard used for bulk shipping, reduced labeling requirements, and reduced freight, resulting in lower fuel emissions.

Trademarks and Domain Names

The Company owns and/or has applied to register numerous trademarks and service marks in the United States and in other jurisdictions covering more than 50 additional countries throughout the world. Some of the Company’s trademarks, including Jamba Juice ^® and the Jamba logo are of material importance to the Company. The duration of trademark registrations varies from country to country. However, trademarks are generally valid and may be renewed indefinitely as long as they are in use and/or their registrations are properly maintained. In addition, the Company has registered and maintains numerous Internet domain names, including “jamba.com” and “jambajuice.com.”

Management Information Systems

Each Company Store has computerized point-of-sale registers which collect transaction data used to generate pertinent information, including sales transactions and product mix. Additionally, the point-of-sale system is used to authorize, batch and transmit credit card data. All product prices are programmed into the point-of-sale register from the Company’s corporate office. Franchise Stores generally use the same point-of-sale registers as Company Stores, but may elect to use alternative systems provided certain information is provided to the Company. Franchisees set their own menu prices.

Company Stores use the Company’s licensed labor scheduling software to record employee time clock information, schedule labor, and provide management reports.

Company Stores and many Franchise Stores use the Company’s licensed food cost management software to improve inventory management and provide management reports.

We believe the current point-of-sale register system is adequate to support our expansion needs.

In 2011, the Company plans to deploy supply chain management software tools to improve product forecasting by better balancing the disparity between supply and demand through improved business processes and using algorithms and consumption analysis to better plan future needs. These tools will include integration technology that will allow the Company to communicate information electronically with supply chain partners.

Seasonality

Our business is highly subject to day-to-day volatility based on weather and varies by season. A significant portion of the Company’s revenue is realized during the second and third quarters of the fiscal year, which include the summer months. The fourth quarter of the fiscal year, which encompasses the winter months and the holiday season, has traditionally been our lowest revenue volume quarter. Although we have expanded the number of stores offering our hot oatmeal, “grab-and-go” food, and California Flatbreads, have also launched our Hot Blends beverage platform, and will soon launch a hot, savory breakfast platform to help offset the seasonal nature of our business, our business will likely continue to be subject to seasonal patterns for the foreseeable future, given that the largest portion of our sales continues to be from the sale of smoothies during the warmer parts of the year. Because of the seasonality of the business, results for an individual quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be achieved for the full fiscal year.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

Set forth below and elsewhere in this report and in other documents we file with the SEC are descriptions of the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We may not be successful in implementing our strategic priorities, which may have a material adverse impact on our business and financial results.

In fiscal 2010 we continued to implement the strategic priorities under our BLEND Plan that we believed necessary to revitalize the Company for future growth and long-term stockholder value, including:

•

continuing to build a customer first operationally focused service culture;

•

continuing to expand our beverage and food menu offerings across all four day parts (breakfast, lunch, afternoon and dinner);

•

continuing to accelerate the development of franchise and non-traditional stores;

•

continuing to build a consumer products growth platform; and

•

continuing to implement a disciplined expense reduction plan.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to successfully implement these strategic priorities or whether these strategic priorities will be successful, and a failure of either could impede our growth and operating results.

We have a history of net losses and may incur losses in the future.

We have incurred net losses in each of the last four fiscal years. We may continue to incur net losses in the future and we cannot assure you that we will achieve or sustain profitability.

A worsening of economic conditions or a decrease in consumer spending may substantially decrease our revenues and may adversely impact our ability to implement our business strategy.

Our success depends to a significant extent on discretionary consumer spending, which is influenced by general economic conditions and the availability of discretionary income. While there are signs that conditions may be improving, there is no certainty that this trend will continue or that credit and financial markets and confidence in economic conditions will not deteriorate again. Accordingly, we may experience continuing declines in revenue during economic turmoil or during periods of uncertainty. Any material decline in the amount of discretionary spending, leading cost-conscious consumers to be more selective in restaurants visited, could have a material adverse effect on our revenue, results of operations, business and financial condition.

The challenges of competing with the many food services businesses may result in reductions in our revenue and operating margins.

We compete with many well-established companies, food service and otherwise, on the basis of taste, quality and price of product offered, customer service, atmosphere, location and overall guest experience. Our success depends, in part, upon the popularity of our products and our ability to develop new menu items that appeal to consumers across all four day parts. Shifts in consumer preferences away from our products, our inability to develop new menu items that appeal to consumers across all day parts, or changes in our menu that eliminate items popular with some consumers could harm our business. We compete with other smoothie and juice bar retailers, specialty coffee retailers, yogurt and ice cream shops, bagel shops, fast-food restaurants, delicatessens, cafés, take-out food service companies, supermarkets and convenience stores. Our competitors change with each of the four day parts, ranging from coffee bars and bakery cafés to casual dining chains. Many of our competitors or potential competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources than we do, which may allow them to react to changes in the market quicker than we can. In addition, aggressive pricing by our competitors or the entrance of new competitors into our markets, as evidenced by McDonald’s Corporation’s inclusion of fruit smoothies on their menu, could reduce our revenue and operating margins. We also compete with other employers in our markets for hourly workers and may become subject to higher labor costs as a result of such competition.

We are subject to risks associated with climate change and climate change regulation.

Laws and regulations regarding climate change, energy usage and emissions controls may impact the Company directly through higher cost of goods. The potential impacts of climate change and climate change regulations are highly uncertain at this time, and the Company cannot anticipate or predict the material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows as a result of climate change and climate change regulations.

Our revenue is subject to volatility based on weather and varies by season.

Seasonal factors cause our revenue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Because the majority of our revenue results from the sale or smoothies, our revenue is typically lower during the winter months and the holiday season and during periods of inclement weather (because fewer people choose cold beverages) and higher during the spring, summer and fall months (for the opposite reason).

Fluctuations in various food and supply costs, particularly fruit and dairy, could adversely affect our operating results.

Supplies and prices of the various products that we use to prepare our offerings can be affected by a variety of factors, such as weather, seasonal fluctuations, demand, politics and economics in the producing countries.

These factors subject us to shortages or interruptions in product supplies, which could adversely affect our revenue and profits. In addition, the prices of fruit and dairy, which are the main products in our offerings, can be highly volatile. The fruit of the quality we seek tends to trade on a negotiated basis, depending on supply and demand at the time of the purchase. An increase in pricing of any fruit that we use in our products could have a significant adverse effect on our profitability. In addition, higher diesel and gasoline prices may affect our supply or transportation costs and may affect our revenue going forward. Although we attempt to help mitigate the risks of volatile commodity prices and allow greater predictability in pricing by entering into fixed price or to-be-fixed priced purchase commitments for a portion of our fruit and dairy requirements, we cannot assure you that these activities will be successful or that they will not result in our paying substantially more for our fruit supply than would have been required absent such activities. Declines in sales may also adversely affect our business to the extent we have long-term purchase commitments in excess of our needs.

We are primarily dependent upon one supplier for a significant amount of our food distribution.

We maintain food distribution contracts primarily with one supplier. This supplier, Southwest Traders, Inc., provided approximately 75% of our cost of goods for fiscal 2010, and 75% and 81% of cost of goods for each of our fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively, which potentially subjects us to a concentration of business risk. If this supplier had operational problems, our operations could be adversely affected.

We may face difficulties entering into new or modified arrangements with existing or new suppliers or new service providers.

If we expand our operations into new geographic areas through new Company Stores or Franchise Stores or introduce new products with special manufacture, storage or distribution requirements, we may have to seek new suppliers and service providers or enter into new arrangements with existing ones. We may also encounter difficulties or be unable to negotiate pricing or other terms as favorable as those we currently enjoy, which could harm our business and operating results. For example, the Company has faced challenges related to the high distribution costs for stores located outside of California in delivering our grab-and-go portfolio comprised of fresh, perishable products.

The Company’s success depends on the value of the Jamba Juice and Jamba brands.

The Jamba Juice brand practice is to inspire and simplify healthy living. We believe we must preserve and grow the value of the Jamba Juice brand in order to be successful in building our business and particularly in building a consumer products growth platform primarily under the Jamba brand. Brand value is based in part on consumer perceptions, and the Jamba Juice brand has been highly rated in several recent brand studies. We intend to reinforce and extend these perceptions for the Jamba brand to help support our licensing efforts. Our brand building initiatives involve increasing our product offerings, opening new Franchise Stores and entering into licensing arrangements to increase awareness of our brands and create and maintain brand loyalty. Our licensees are often authorized to use our logos and provide branded beverages, food and other products directly to customers. We provide training and support to, and monitor the operations of, these business partners, but the product quality and service they deliver may be diminished by any number of factors beyond our control, including financial pressures. We believe customers expect the same quality of products and service from our licensees as they do from us. Any shortcoming of one of our business partners, particularly an issue affecting the quality of the service experience or the safety of beverages or food, may be attributed by customers to us, thus damaging our reputation and brand value and potentially affecting our results of operations. If our brand building initiatives are unsuccessful, or if business incidents occur which erode consumer perceptions of our brand, then the value of our products may diminish and we may not be able to implement our business strategy.

We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property, which could harm the value of our brand and adversely affect our business.

Our intellectual property is material to the conduct of our business. Our ability to implement our business plan successfully depends in part on our ability to build further brand recognition using our trademarks, service

marks, trade dress and other proprietary intellectual property, including our name and logos and the unique ambiance of our stores both domestically and overseas. We have secured the ownership and rights to our marks in the United States and have filed or obtained registrations for restaurant services in most other significant foreign jurisdictions. We undertake similar efforts to protect our brands in other relevant consumer product categories in relevant jurisdictions. If our efforts to protect our intellectual property are inadequate, or if any third party misappropriates or infringes on our intellectual property, the value of our store brand and our consumer products brands may be harmed, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. While we have not encountered claims from prior users of intellectual property relating to restaurant services in areas where we operate or intend to conduct material operations in the near future, there can be no assurances that we will not encounter such claims. If so, this could harm our image, brands or competitive position and cause us to incur significant penalties and costs.

Our business could be adversely affected by increased labor or healthcare costs. Self-insurance plan claims could materially impact our results.

Labor is a primary component in the cost of operating our business. We devote significant resources to recruiting and training our team members. A considerable number of the team members employed by us are paid at rates related to the federal minimum wage. In 2008, the federal minimum wage increased from $5.85 to $6.55 and it increased again in 2009 to $7.25. Additionally, many of our Company Store team members work in stores located in states where the minimum wage is greater than the federal minimum and receive compensation equal to the state’s minimum wage. The current California minimum wage is $8.00. Any further increases in the federal minimum wage or the enactment of additional state or local minimum wage increases where our employees may be located will increase labor costs. Additionally, competition for employees in various markets could result in higher required wage rates. Furthermore, the Company is self-insured for team member healthcare and dental benefits. The Company pays a substantial part of the healthcare benefits for team members at the general manager level and above and for those working at the Company’s corporate office. Liabilities associated with the risks that the Company retains are estimated in part, by considering historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors, and other actuarial assumptions. The estimated accruals for these liabilities are based on statistical analyses of historical industry data as well as the Company’s actual historical trends. If actual claims experience differs from the Company’s assumptions, historical trends, and estimates, changes in the Company’s insurance reserves could materially impact our results of operations.

The recently enacted Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as well as other healthcare reform legislation being considered by Congress and state legislatures may have an impact on our business. While we are currently evaluating the potential effects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on our business, the impact could be extensive and will most likely increase our employee healthcare-related costs. While the significant costs of the recent healthcare legislation enacted will occur after 2013 due to provisions of the legislation being phased in over time, changes to our healthcare costs structure could have a significant, negative impact on our business.

We are subject to all of the risks associated with leasing space subject to long-term non-cancelable leases.

We and our franchisees compete for real estate and our or their inability to secure appropriate real estate or lease terms could impact our respective abilities to grow. Our leases generally have initial terms of between five and 15 years, and generally can be extended only in five-year increments if at all. We generally cannot cancel these leases. If an existing or new store is not profitable, and we decide to close it, as we have done in the past and may do in the future, we may nonetheless be committed to perform our obligations under the applicable lease including, among other things, paying the base rent for the balance of the lease term. Additionally, because we sublease the premises of Company Stores sold to franchisees in our refranchising program, we are still legally liable to the landlords under the prime leases, and we will need to assume obligations under the prime lease should a franchisee default on its sublease obligations. Current locations of our stores and franchised locations may become unattractive as demographic patterns change. In addition, as each of our leases expire, we may fail to negotiate renewals, either on commercially acceptable terms or at all, which could require us to close stores in desirable locations.

Our business and results may be subject to disruption from work stoppages, terrorism or natural disasters.

Our operations may be subject to disruption for a variety of reasons, including work stoppages, acts of war, terrorism, pandemics, fire, earthquake, flooding or other natural disasters. In particular, our corporate offices and support center is located in Northern California, near known earthquake fault lines. If a major earthquake or other natural disaster were to occur in Northern California, our corporate offices and support center may be damaged or destroyed. Such a disruption could result in the temporary or permanent loss of critical data, suspension of operations, delays in shipments of product, and disruption of business in both the affected region and nationwide, which would adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.

The unexpected loss of one or more members of our executive management team could adversely affect our business.

Our success depends substantially on the contributions and abilities of our executive management team and other key employees. We believe that these individuals understand our operational strategies and priorities and the steps necessary to drive our long-term growth and stockholder value. Competition for personnel in our industry is strong and the ability to retain key employees during a revitalization effort can be difficult. While we have entered into employment agreements with each of our executive officers, we cannot make any assurances that we can retain these individuals for the period necessary for us to achieve and sustain profitability. Our failure to continue to recruit, retain, and motivate executive management and other key employees sufficient to maintain a competitive position within our industry and to implement our strategic priorities would adversely affect our results of operations.

We are highly dependent on the financial performance of stores concentrated in certain geographic areas.

Our financial performance is highly dependent on stores located in California. Stores located in California comprise over 50% of our total system stores and generate a significant portion of our Company Store revenues. In recent years California and other states have experienced significant economic impact due to the current economic climate. If geographic regions in which we have a high concentration of stores continue to experience significant economic pressures, our sales and operating results could be negatively impacted. In addition, state and local laws, government regulations, weather conditions and natural disasters affecting California and other regions where we have a high concentration of stores may have a material impact upon our results.

Governmental regulation may adversely affect our ability to open new stores or otherwise adversely affect our existing and future operations and results.

We and our franchisees are subject to various federal, state and local regulations. Each of our stores is subject to state and local licensing and regulation by health, sanitation, food and workplace safety and other agencies. We and our franchisees may experience material difficulties or failures in obtaining the necessary licenses or approvals for new stores, which could delay planned store openings. In addition, stringent and varied requirements of local regulators with respect to zoning, land use and environmental factors could delay or prevent development of new stores in particular locations.

Our operations are also subject to the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act, which governs such matters as minimum wages, overtime and other working conditions, along with the U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act, family leave mandates and a variety of similar laws enacted by the states that govern these and other employment law matters. In recent years, there has been an increased legislative, regulatory and consumer focus on nutrition and advertising practices in the food industry. Establishments operating in the quick-service and fast-casual segments have been a particular focus, and compliance with additional regulations can become costly and affect our operating results.

Our federal, state and local tax returns may, from time to time, be selected for audit by the taxing authorities, which may result in tax assessments, interest or penalties that could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial position.

We are subject to federal, state and local taxes in the U.S. In making tax estimates and paying taxes, significant judgment is often required. Although we believe our tax positions and estimates are reasonable, if a taxing authority disagrees with the positions taken by the Company, we could have an additional tax liability, including interest and penalties. If material, payment of such additional amounts could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

Our ability to use our tax attributes may be limited due to an “ownership change.”

Based on information available to us, we believe that we underwent an “ownership change” as defined in section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code during the second quarter of our 2009 fiscal year, as a result of our issuance of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock and other prior trading in our stock.

The amount of our taxable income for tax years ending after our ownership change which may be offset by net operating loss carryovers from pre-change years will be subject to an annual limitation, known as a section 382 limitation. The section 382 limitation is generally based on the value of our stock immediately before the ownership change multiplied by the long-term tax exempt rate in effect at the time of the ownership change, subject to increase if we had net unrealized built-in gains and if such net unrealized built-in gains are recognized, or are deemed recognized under IRS guidance, during the 5-year period beginning on the ownership change date. If we had net unrealized built-in losses, and if the net unrealized built-in losses are recognized during the 5-year period beginning on the ownership change date, such losses will generally be treated as if incurred prior to the ownership change, for purposes of applying the annual limitation. Any section 382 limitation amount not used in a taxable year to offset taxable income can be carried forward to the next post-change taxable year. Net operating losses may generally be carried forward to each of the 20 taxable years following the taxable year of the loss. With respect to tax credits, there is a limitation under section 383 of the Internal Revenue Code whereby the post-change year credit usage is limited to the credit equivalent of any section 382 limitation amount remaining after carrying forward pre-change losses.

We have not yet ascertained the approximate amount of our section 382 limitation, whether we have net unrealized built-in gains or net unrealized built-in losses, the effect on the section 382 limitation of any potential future recognition of net unrealized built-in gains or any net unrealized built-in losses during the 5-year period beginning on the ownership change, and whether any net operating losses are likely to expire unused due to the 20 taxable year net operating loss carry forward period. The effect of future realization of net unrealized built-in gains or net unrealized built-in losses, if any, is subject to various factors including, among other things, when, and at what price, we dispose of the related assets. The section 382 limitation may be reduced if there is another section 382 ownership change, resulting in a lower section 382 limitation, during a time when we continue to be a loss corporation. If we are profitable in the future, and if the foregoing limitations on loss and credit usage affect our ability to offset taxable income and taxes with losses and credits, we could be adversely affected due to increased tax liability.

If, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of our deferred tax assets will not be realized, then a valuation allowance is recognized with respect to our deferred tax assets. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has previously concluded (even prior to the determination that there was an ownership change resulting in a section 382 limitation) that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets related to depreciation, tax goodwill, jambacards, accrued expenses and net operating losses will be realized and a full valuation allowance has been maintained against our net deferred tax assets.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR FRANCHISE BUSINESS

Our growth strategy depends on increasing franchise ownership.

Because our current growth strategy is to transition from a Company Store model to one of growth fueled by Franchise Store development, we receive an increasingly significant amount of our revenues in the form of royalties from our franchisees. Resultantly, the success of our business is increasingly dependent upon the operational and financial success of our franchisees. This strategy is subject to risks and uncertainties. While our franchise agreements set forth certain operational standards and guidelines, we have limited control over how our franchisees’ businesses are run, and any significant inability of our franchisees to operate successfully could adversely affect our operating results through decreased royalty payments. We may not be able to identify franchisee candidates with appropriate experience and financial resources or to negotiate mutually acceptable agreements with those that do. Our franchisee candidates may not have access to the financial or management resources that they need to open or continue operating the stores contemplated by their franchise agreements with us. In addition, franchisees may not be able to find suitable sites on which to develop new stores or negotiate acceptable lease terms for the sites, obtain the necessary permits and government approvals or meet construction schedules. If our franchisees incur too much debt or if economic or sales trends deteriorate such that they are unable to repay existing debt, it could result in financial distress or even possible insolvency or bankruptcy. If a significant number of our franchisees become financially distressed, this could harm our operating results through reduced or delayed royalty payments or increased rent obligations for leased properties on which we are contingently liable.

Expansion into new geographic markets may present increased risks.

Franchise growth is planned in new geographic areas in the United States and select international market for fiscal 2011. Our future results, and the results of new Franchise Stores, depend on various factors, including successful selection and expansion into these new geographic markets and market acceptance of the Jamba Juice experience. Those markets may have different competitive conditions, consumer tastes and discretionary spending patterns as compared to existing markets. As a result, those new stores may be less successful than stores in our existing markets. Consumers in a new market may not be familiar with the Jamba Juice brand, and we may need to build brand awareness in that market through greater investments in advertising and promotional activity than we originally planned. Franchisees may find it more difficult in new markets to hire, motivate and keep qualified employees who can project our vision, passion and culture. Stores opened in new markets may also have lower average store revenue than stores opened in existing markets, and may have higher construction, occupancy or operating costs than stores in existing markets. Furthermore, we may have difficulty in finding reliable suppliers or distributors or ones that can provide us, either initially or over time, with adequate supplies of ingredients meeting our quality standards. Revenue at stores opened in new markets may take longer to ramp up and reach expected revenue levels, and may never do so, thereby affecting our overall royalty income. As with the experience of other retail food concepts that have tried to expand nationally and internationally, we may find that the Jamba Juice concept has limited or no appeal to customers in new markets or we may experience a decline in the popularity of the Jamba Juice experience. Newly opened stores may not succeed, future markets and stores may not be successful and, even if we are successful, our average store revenue, and the royalty income generated therefrom, may not increase and may even decline.

Our efforts to expand internationally may not be successful and could impair the value of our brand.

Our current strategy includes international expansion in a number of countries around the world. Expanding into international markets will expose us to new risks and uncertainties, including product supply, import/export limitations and regulations to which we are not currently bound and may not be currently set up to handle, consumer preferences, occupancy costs, operating expenses and labor and infrastructure challenges. If stores open in international markets and such stores are unable to source inventory locally, franchisees may be required to import inventory from our U.S. distributors and any resulting import duties, tariffs, transportation or other charges may disproportionately impact such stores’ cost of goods which could harm the viability of such stores.

Finally, international operations have inherent risks such as foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, the application and effect of local laws and regulations and enforceability of intellectual property and contract rights. Additionally, effectively managing growth can be challenging, particularly as we continue to expand into new international markets where we must balance the need for flexibility and a degree of autonomy for local management against the need for consistency with our goals, philosophy and standards. Failure of our international expansion strategy could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

Termination or non-renewal of franchise agreements may disrupt store performance.

Each franchise agreement is subject to termination by us in the event of default by the franchisee after the applicable cure periods. Upon the expiration of the initial term of a franchise agreement, the franchisee generally has an option to renew for an additional term. There is no assurance that franchisees will meet the criteria for renewal or will desire or be able to renew their franchise agreements. If not renewed, a franchise agreement and payments required thereunder will terminate. We may be unable to find a new franchisee to replace such lost revenue. Furthermore, while we will be entitled to terminate franchise agreements following a default that is not cured within the applicable cure period, if any, the disruption to the performance of the stores could materially and adversely affect our business.

Our franchising strategy means we will become more dependent on franchisees for our success.

Several of our franchisees have been experiencing financial pressures, which, in certain instances, became more exacerbated during fiscal 2010. Our franchisees closed four stores in fiscal 2010 (2 through natural lease expiration and 2 through early termination), and franchisees may close additional stores in the future. Royalty revenues are directly correlated to sales by Franchise Stores and, accordingly, Franchise Store closures have an adverse effect on our revenues, results of operations and cash flows. Furthermore, an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding involving a franchisee could prevent us from collecting payments or exercising any of our other rights under the related franchise agreement.

Our refranchising strategy may not realize intended benefits, the failure of royalty revenue to replace revenue available from Company Store sales or the failure of area developers to succeed in their obligations.

As of December 28, 2010, we have refranchised 132 Company Stores as a result of our refranchising efforts, resulting in a shift to a greater percentage of Franchise Stores. The conversion of a Company Store to a Franchise Store reduces the total monthly revenue received by us from that store because we receive all of the revenue generated by a Company Store but receive only royalty payments generated by a Franchise Store. While we expect the conversion of a Company Store to a Franchise Store to reduce or eliminate the unreimbursed operating costs we incur in connection with the operation of such store, the future benefit realized from refranchising the store is uncertain and may be less than anticipated, and may not be sufficient to offset the loss of revenue from the conversion of the Company Store.

The success of each transaction and the refranchising program as a whole will depend upon, among other things, our buyers’ ultimate ability to effectively operate the stores they purchased, our ability to limit our exposure to contingent liabilities in connection with the sale of our stores and whether the resulting ownership mix of Company Stores and Franchise Stores will allow us to meet our financial objectives. Our existing management, infrastructure, financial, and other resources may be inadequate to support our franchise growth strategy. In addition, although some buyers in our refranchising transactions have entered into area development agreements to develop and open additional stores, there is no guarantee that the franchisees will succeed in their efforts to open additional stores.

Our franchisees could take actions that harm our reputation and reduce our royalty revenue.

Franchisees are independent contractors and are not our employees. Further, we do not exercise control over the day-to-day operations of our Franchise Stores. Any operational or development shortcomings of our Franchise Stores,

including their failure to comply with applicable laws, are likely to be attributed to our system-wide operations in the eyes of consumers and could adversely affect our reputation and have a direct negative impact on the royalty revenue we receive from those stores.

We could face liability from our franchisees and from government agencies.

A franchisee or government agency may bring legal action against us based on the franchisor/franchisee relationship. Various state and federal laws govern our relationship with our franchisees and our potential sale of a franchise. If we fail to comply with these laws, we could be liable for damages to franchisees, fines or other penalties. Expensive litigation with our franchisees or government agencies may adversely affect both our profits and our important relations with our franchisees.

RISKS RELATED TO THE FOOD SERVICE BUSINESS

Litigation and publicity concerning food quality, health and other issues can result in liabilities, increased expenses, distraction of management and can also cause customers to avoid our products, which could adversely affect our results of operations, business and financial condition.

Food service businesses can be adversely affected by litigation and complaints from customers or government authorities resulting from food quality, allergens, illness, injury or other health concerns or operating issues stemming from one retail location or a limited number of retail locations. Adverse publicity about these allegations may negatively affect us, regardless of whether the allegations are true, by discouraging customers from buying our products.

Our customers occasionally file complaints or lawsuits against us alleging that we are responsible for some illness or injury they suffered at or after a visit to our stores, or that we have problems with food quality or operations. We are also subject to a variety of other claims arising in the ordinary course of our business, including personal injury claims, contract claims and claims alleging violations of federal and state law regarding workplace and employment matters, discrimination and similar matters, and we could become subject to class action or other lawsuits related to these or different matters in the future. Regardless of whether any claims against us are valid, or whether we are ultimately held liable, claims may be expensive to defend and may divert time and money away from our operations and hurt our performance. A judgment significantly in excess of our insurance coverage, or for which we are not covered by insurance, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. Any adverse publicity resulting from these allegations may also materially and adversely affect our reputation or prospects, which in turn could adversely affect our results.

In addition, the food services industry has been subject to a growing number of claims based on the nutritional content of food products they sell, and disclosure and advertising practices. We may also be subject to this type of proceeding in the future and, even if not, publicity about these matters (particularly directed at the quick-service and fast-casual segments of the industry) may harm our reputation or prospects and adversely affect our results.

Food safety concerns and instances of food-borne illnesses could harm our customers, result in negative publicity and cause the temporary closure of some stores and, in some cases, could adversely affect the price and availability of fruits and vegetables, any of which could harm our brand reputation, result in a decline in revenue or an increase in costs.

We consider food safety a top priority and dedicate substantial resources toward ensuring that our customers enjoy high-quality, safe and wholesome products. However, we cannot guarantee that our internal controls and training will be fully effective in preventing all food-borne illnesses. Furthermore, our reliance on third-party food suppliers and distributors increases the risk that food-borne illness incidents (such as e. coli, hepatitis A, salmonella or listeria) could occur outside of our control and at multiple locations. Instances of food-borne illnesses, whether real or perceived, and whether at our stores or those of our competitors, could harm customers and otherwise result in negative publicity about us or the products we serve, which could adversely affect

revenue. If there is an incident involving our stores serving contaminated products, our customers may be harmed, our revenue may decrease and our brand name may be impaired. If our customers become ill from food-borne illnesses, we could be forced to temporarily close some stores. In addition, we may have different or additional competitors for our intended customers as a result of making any such changes and may not be able to compete successfully against those competitors. Food safety concerns and instances of food-borne illnesses and injuries caused by food contamination have in the past, and could in the future, adversely affect the price and availability of affected ingredients and cause customers to shift their preferences, particularly if we choose to pass any higher ingredient costs along to consumers. As a result, our costs may increase and our revenue may decline. A decrease in customer traffic as a result of these health concerns or negative publicity, or as a result of a change in our menu or dining experience or a temporary closure of any of our stores, could materially harm our business.

Bans on the use of polystyrene products can negatively impact our operating results.

We are subject to regulations regarding the use of polystyrene products, and several counties in which our stores are located have already banned the use of our polystyrene cups. As more state and local governments take similar actions, we may be subject to further bans on the use of polystyrene cups. A national ban on the use of polystyrene cups would force us to eliminate the use of polystyrene which could potentially increase our costs and create customer satisfaction issues that could ultimately affect our operating results.

RISKS RELATED TO OWNERSHIP OF COMMON STOCK

Failure of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting could harm its business and financial results.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes: (i) maintaining reasonably detailed records that accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; and (ii) providing reasonable assurance that we (a) record transactions as necessary to prepare the financial statements, (b) make receipts and expenditures in accordance with management authorizations, and (c) would timely prevent or detect any unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that we would prevent or detect a misstatement of our financial statements or fraud. Any failure to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting could limit our ability to report our financial results accurately and timely or to detect and prevent fraud. A significant financial reporting failure could cause an immediate loss of investor confidence in us and a sharp decline in the market price of our common stock.

Our anti-takeover provisions may delay or prevent a change of control of us, which may adversely affect the price of our common stock.

Certain provisions in our corporate documents and Delaware law may delay or prevent a change of control of us, which could adversely affect the price of our common stock. For example, we have adopted a stockholder rights plan, commonly known as a “poison pill,” which would make it difficult for someone to acquire the Company without the approval of the Board of Directors. Also, the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws include other anti-takeover provisions such as:

•

Limitations on the ability of stockholders to amend its charter documents, including stockholder supermajority voting requirements;

•

The inability of stockholders to act by written consent or to call a special meeting absent the request of the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock; and

•

Advance notice requirements for nomination for election to the board of directors and for stockholder proposals.

The Company is also afforded the protections of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which prevents it from engaging in a business combination with a person who acquires at least 15% of its common stock for a period of three years from the date such person acquired such common stock, unless board of directors or stockholder approval is obtained.

Our stock price may fluctuate significantly

The trading price of our common stock has been volatile and is likely to continue to be volatile. Our stock price could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors. The stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. Broad market factors, including the effect of international political instability, armed conflict, natural disasters, financial markets, and general economic conditions, may have a material adverse effect on our stock price, regardless of our actual performance.

The holders of our Series B Preferred are entitled to receive dividends and liquidation payments in preference to the holders of our common stock.

Dividends accrue on shares of the Series B Preferred at a rate of 8% per annum and are payable quarterly in cash at the option of the Company and can increase to 10% in the event the Company fails to satisfy certain obligations. Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares of the Series B Preferred are entitled to receive a liquidation payment prior to the payment of any amount with respect to shares of our common stock. Because of the substantial liquidation preference to which the holders of shares of the Series B Preferred are entitled, the amount available to be distributed to the holders of shares of our common stock upon a liquidation of the Company could be substantially limited or reduced to zero and may make it more difficult to raise capital or recruit and retain key personnel in the future.

The securities purchase agreement for the sale of shares of the Series B Preferred (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) and the certificate of designation governing the Series B Preferred (the “Series B Certificate of Designation”) contain various covenants and restrictions which may limit our ability to operate our business.

Under the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Series B Certificate of Designation, we are not permitted, without the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series B-1 Preferred and the Series B-2 Preferred, voting together as a single class, directly or indirectly, to take or agree to take certain actions involving a broad array of corporate activities. These restrictions could limit our ability to plan for or react to market conditions or meet extraordinary capital needs or could otherwise restrict corporate activities, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our business.

The holders of shares of the Series B Preferred will have substantial voting power on matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and on the composition of our board of directors.

The holders of shares of the Series B Preferred are entitled to vote on all matters on which the holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to vote, voting together with the holders of shares of our common stock as a single class. Each share of Series B Preferred is currently entitled to 100 votes per share, subject to adjustment. As a result, the shares of Series B Preferred currently represent, in the aggregate, approximately 24% of the voting power of our equity securities and may therefore have considerable influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to our stockholders for approval.

The holders of the Series B Preferred also have significant control over the composition of our Board of Directors. Currently, the holders of Series B-1 Preferred have the right to elect two members of our Board and the holders of the Series B-2 Preferred have the right to elect one member of our Board. Under certain circumstances, the holders of Series B Preferred may be entitled to elect additional directors. Upon conversion of

the Series B Preferred into common stock, assuming certain ownership thresholds continue to be met, the holders of Series B Preferred will continue to have contractual rights to nominate members to our Board. Because the holders of shares of the Series B Preferred will have the right to designate these members to our Board, they have considerable influence on the composition of our Board and, therefore, the conduct of our business.

The Series B Preferred is redeemable at the option of the holders under certain circumstances.

On or after June 16, 2016, the holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series B Preferred may require us to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred. The redemption price per share of the Series B Preferred is to be calculated in accordance with the Certificate of Designation.

Depending on our cash resources at the time that this redemption right is exercised, we may or may not be able to fund the redemption from our available cash resources. If we were unable to fund the redemption from available cash resources we would need to find an alternative source of financing to do so. There can be no assurances that we would be able to raise such funds on favorable terms or at all if they are required.

We have agreed to give the holders of shares of the Series B Preferred the right to participate in subsequent stock issuances.

We agreed that if we issue and sell any new equity securities after June 16, 2009, subject to certain exceptions, we will give the Series B Purchasers the right to purchase a portion of those new securities so as to permit each of them to maintain their proportional ownership in our stock as long as such purchaser beneficially owns at least 25% of the shares such purchaser originally purchased on June 16, 2009.

The existence of this right may make it more difficult for us to obtain financing from third parties that do not wish to have Series B Purchasers participating in their financing.

The Series B Preferred private placement could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient determined by dividing $115 (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares) by the then applicable conversion price (currently $1.15 per share). Upon such conversion, the Company must pay any dividend arrearage, plus accrued but unpaid dividends up through, but excluding, the applicable date of conversion, whether or not declared. The holder of a share of Series B Preferred may elect to convert that holder’s share at any time. In addition, after June 16, 2011, we have the right to force conversion of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred upon certain conditions being met.

Sales in the public market of the shares of common stock acquired upon conversion of shares of the Series B Preferred or the exercise of an outstanding warrant for Series B Preferred, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise funds in additional stock financings.

KEY FINANCIAL METRICS

Management reviews and discusses its operations based on both financial and non-financial metrics. Among the key financial metrics upon which management focuses is reviewing its performance based on the Company’s consolidated GAAP results, including Company Store comparable sales.

Company Store comparable sales represents the change in year-over-year sales for all Company Stores opened for at least 13 full fiscal periods.

The following table sets forth operating data that do not otherwise appear in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 28, 2010 and December 29, 2009:


	Fiscal Year Ended
	December 28, 2010			December 29, 2009

Total Company Stores		351			478
Total Franchise Stores		392			261
Total Stores		743			739

⁽¹⁾

Percentage change in Company Store comparable sales compares the sales of Company Stores during the 13 period fiscal year ended to the sales from the same Company Stores for the equivalent period in the prior year. A Company Store is included in this calculation after its 13^th full fiscal period of operations. Sales from franchised stores are excluded in the Company Store comparable sales.

The following table sets forth certain data relating to Company Stores and Franchise Stores for the periods indicated:

JAMBA, INC. OVERVIEW

Jamba, Inc. is a holding company which owns and franchises Jamba Juice stores through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jamba Juice Company. Jamba Juice Company is a leading restaurant retailer of better-for-you beverage and food offerings include great tasting fruit smoothies, juices and teas, hot oatmeal made with organic steel cut oats, probiotic fruit and yogurt blends, Whirl’ns frozen yogurt, wraps, salads, sandwiches, California Flatbreads, and a variety of baked goods and snacks. Jamba, Inc. was incorporated in January 2005 and went public through an initial public offering later that year. In November 2006, we completed our acquisition of Jamba Juice Company, which first began operations in 1990. As of December 28, 2010, there were 743 locations consisting of 351 company owned and operated stores (“Company Stores”) and 392 franchise stores (“Franchise Stores”).

Fiscal Year

Our fiscal year ends each year on the Tuesday closest to December 31^st and therefore we have a 52 or 53 week fiscal year with the first fiscal quarter being sixteen weeks, the second and third quarters being twelve weeks, and the fourth quarter being twelve or thirteen weeks. Unless otherwise stated, references to years in the report relate to fiscal years rather than to calendar years. The following fiscal periods are presented in this report.


Fiscal Period	Period Covered	Weeks
Fiscal Year 2010	December 30, 2009 to December 28, 2010	52
Fiscal Year 2009	December 31, 2008 to December 29, 2009	52
Fiscal Year 2008	January 2, 2008 to December 30, 2008	52

All references to store counts, including data for new store openings, are reported net of related store closures, unless otherwise noted.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Key Overall Strategies

During 2010, we made solid progress against our BLEND Plan, which we announced in early 2009. The BLEND Plan represents our multi-year strategic plan to transform the Jamba Juice brand from a made-to-order smoothie company to a healthy, active lifestyle brand. The key strategic priorities of the BLEND Plan include:

•

continue to build a customer first operationally focused service culture;

•

continue to expand our beverage and food menu offerings across all four day parts (breakfast, lunch, afternoon, and dinner);

•

continue to accelerate the development of franchise and non-traditional stores;

•

continue to build a consumer products growth platform; and

•

continue to implement a disciplined expense management plan.

During 2010, we took significant steps in our transformation as we refranchised 105 Jamba Juice stores, entered into new consumer products licenses and continued our expansion of new menu offerings. While Company Store comparable sales decreased 2.3% in 2010, we have experienced Company Store sequential comparable sales improvement during six of the last seven fiscal quarters and in the fourth quarter achieved our first positive quarter of Company Store comparable sales since 2007. We believe these results demonstrate the early stages of success of our efforts over the last two years to stabilize the business and build the foundation for future growth.

Fiscal 2010 Financial and Operational Summary

•

Net loss for fiscal 2010 was $(16.7) million compared to net loss of $(23.9) million for fiscal 2009. Included in the fiscal 2010 loss were charges of $7.0 million related to impairment of long lived assets and store lease termination and closure costs compared to $13.9 million for the same costs in fiscal 2009.

•

Total revenue for fiscal 2010 decreased 12.9% to $262.7 million from $301.6 million for fiscal 2009, a decrease of $38.9 million, due to the decrease in Company-owned stores primarily attributable to the refranchising initiative.

•

Diluted loss per share was $(0.35) per share for fiscal 2010 compared to diluted loss per share of $(0.48) for fiscal 2009.

•

Company-owned comparable store sales for fiscal 2010 reflected sequential improvement in six of the last seven quarters, improving 800 basis points to (2.3%) from (10.3%) for fiscal 2009.

•

30 new franchise stores and one new Company Store were opened during fiscal 2010, bringing total store count to 743 stores system-wide, of which 392 are Franchise Stores and 351 are Company Stores.

Fiscal 2010 Accomplishments

Accomplishments to Support Sales

We believe significant progress was made towards improving comparable store sales. While we experienced negative Company Store comparable sales in 2010 of (2.3%), Company Store comparable sales for the fourth quarter of 2010 increased 0.2%, which reflects sequential comparable store sales improvement during the last six of seven quarters; it is also the first positive quarter of Company Store comparable sales increase since 2007. We instituted a customer survey program that has shown increasingly improving levels of customer satisfaction as we continue to build a customer first operationally focused service culture. Our 2010 implementation of a store excellence guide has improved store operations by clarifying operating procedures and measuring priorities. We also conducted extensive talent reviews and instituted a performance based bonus, to reward, develop, and motivate our Company Store teams with the goal of making consistent exceptional customer service the top priority. We also continued to take steps to drive incremental sales by improving the local awareness of the Jamba brand and promote active, healthy lifestyles with our focus on fundraising, offsite sales and catering opportunities.

We continued to expand our beverage and food offerings with a goal of driving sales by increasing average check, traffic, and attachment rates across all day-parts. We believe that our growing portfolio of “better–for-you” beverage and food offerings, with smoothies and juices as the core offering, provides us with a competitive advantage over other quick service restaurants. We also implemented various marketing promotions and consumer communications such as value offerings, targeted discounts, sampling, improved messaging focusing on the better-for-you qualities of our menu offerings, and expanding our social media activities to further drive consumer awareness and customer usage frequency. We believe these efforts helped mitigate the adverse effects of a challenging economy, particularly in California, competition from McDonalds, which introduced a new

smoothie line in 2010, and unusually cool weather in California. We continue to focus on opportunities to develop our beverage and food portfolio in order to optimize each of the day-parts, and to refine our promotional and communication efforts to help drive sales.

Accelerating Franchise Growth

We continue to grow our restaurant concept primarily through the development of new Franchise Stores. As a result of our refranchising initiative and the development of new Franchise Stores, Jamba Juice locations at the end of fiscal 2010 were comprised of approximately 47% Company Store locations and 53% Franchise Store locations compared to approximately 65% Company Store locations and 35% Franchise Store locations at the end of fiscal 2009.

During fiscal 2010, under our refranchising initiative, we completed the sale of 105 Company Stores in fifteen separate refranchising transactions, bringing the refranchising program total to 132 Company Stores sold. In fiscal 2010, franchisees also developed and opened 30 new Franchise Stores, including four traditional stores and 26 non-traditional stores. We expect to conclude our refranchising program with the sale of 41 Company Stores in the Chicago and Minneapolis markets in early 2011.

To further expand our brand, we launched an innovative new Express platform utilizing compact technology to make select smoothie flavors in “stations” using pre-packaged ingredients. The Express platform targets venues with high volume and needing high-speed service where a full-sized Jamba Juice store or kiosk would not be feasible. Such venues include small schools, grocery stores, stadiums, theaters, and select airport locations. Included in the Franchise Store count in 2010 were five Express platform franchise locations.

In 2010 we signed an agreement with SPC Group to develop Jamba Juice stores in Korea. Our first Jamba Juice store opened in South Korea at the Incheon International Airport in January 2011 and we expect SPC Group to build 200 stores in South Korea over the next decade.

We continue to explore opportunities to grow our brand by establishing more points of distribution to make it easier for customers to experience what we have to offer.

Building a Consumer Products Growth Platform

The Jamba consumer products licensing program represents a strategic, profitable growth opportunity as we continue to sign new license agreements and accelerate the commercialization of our existing license agreements. At the end of fiscal 2010, we had nine license agreements in place, including agreements with Nestlé USA to introduce a line of all-natural, fruit-based energy drinks, Johnvince Foods for all-naturally boosted trail mixes, One Nature Experience (O.N.E.) to develop a line of fruit-infused coconut water beverages, Zola for a line of functional daily Brazilian super fruit supplement shots, and Sundia for functionally boosted fruit cups. By the end of 2010, Jamba licensed products secured over 11,000 points of retail distribution. The products include 3 smoothie kit flavors and 5 frozen novelty bar flavors. We expect to have 30,000+ points of distribution by the end of 2011 through a number of new product launches, including Jamba Energy Drinks in February 2011 (in the northeastern United States) and Inventure Foods’ new boosted smoothie kit flavor launching in March 2011. Jamba’s goal is to capitalize on the brand’s strong consumer brand affinity and healthy active lifestyle positioning to offer consumers the Jamba experience outside of the Jamba Juice store environment, across multiple categories and retail channels.

Accomplishments to Manage Expenses

We were able to substantially maintain Company Store financial performance by continuing to reduce labor expenses through operational efficiencies and better labor planning, and by implementing initiatives to lower costs of goods and mitigate waste, in spite of the impact of negative Company Store comparable sales.

To the extent possible, we are continuing to extend these cost saving initiatives and benefits to Franchise Stores with the goal of improving store-level economics for our franchisees, including “best practices” operating requirements and examples and by passing through our negotiated volume rates with suppliers and vendors to our franchisees. We strongly believe that increased sales coupled with continued cost and expense management improvements will drive better store-level economics for Company Stores and Franchise Stores alike.

We also continued to manage our general and administrative expenses. Our refranchising strategy has resulted in a decrease in the number of Company Stores and the related overhead expenses to manage and support these Company Stores. At the same time, we have invested in our future by strategically adding headcount to help accelerate our initiatives, such as consumer products licensing, domestic and international franchise development, and our product innovation pipeline. In addition, our general and administrative expenses were adversely impacted by the settlement of two putative class action lawsuits brought on behalf of former employees.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires the appropriate application of certain accounting policies, many of which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events and its impact on amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related notes. Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with certainty, actual results may differ from our estimates. Such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

We believe our application of accounting policies, and the estimates inherently required therein, are reasonable. These accounting policies and estimates are periodically reevaluated, and adjustments are made when facts and circumstances dictate a change.

Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 “Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,” included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K (“2010 Form 10-K”). We consider the following policies to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including leasehold improvements, and other fixed assets are reviewed for impairment at least quarterly and when indicators of impairment are present. Expected cash flows associated with an asset, in addition to other quantitative and qualitative analyses are the key factors in determining the recoverability of the asset. Identifiable cash flows are measured at the individual store level. The estimate of cash flows is based upon, among other things, certain assumptions about expected future operating performance. If our estimates of undiscounted cash flows differs from actual cash flows due to, among other things, changes in economic conditions, changes to our business model or changes in operating performance it would result in an adjustment to results of operations. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, we recognize an impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Assets Held for Sale

As a result of our refranchising initiative, announced in May 2009, we classify assets as held for sale and suspend depreciation and amortization on such assets when all of the following criteria are met: (i) Board of Directors approval to refranchise (the store or group of stores) is received; (ii) the stores can be immediately removed from operations; (iii) an active program to locate a buyer is implemented; (iv) the assets are being actively marketed for sale at or near their current fair value; (v) significant changes to the plan of sale are not likely and (vi) the sale is probable within one year. Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying

amount or fair value less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on the purchase price in the asset purchase agreement. Assets held for sale are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. See Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. If the fair value of the assets held for sale is less than the amounts realized as a result of subsequent price changes, it would result in a loss on disposal of the assets and would increase net loss.

Trademark, Goodwill and Other Intangible Asset Impairment

Trademarks were not subject to amortization and were tested for impairment annually (at year-end), or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicated that the asset might be impaired. We performed our test for impairment on trademarks by comparing the fair value of the trademarks to their carrying amounts. An impairment loss is generally recognized when the carrying amount of the trademarks exceeds the fair value. The fair value of trademarks was estimated using the income approach-relief from royalty method, which is based on the projected cost savings attributable to the ownership of the trademarks.

We tested for goodwill impairment annually (at year-end) or whenever events occurred or circumstances changed that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The required two-step approach uses accounting judgments and estimates of future operating results. Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different results. Impairment testing is done at a reporting unit level. An impairment loss generally is recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The estimates and judgments that most significantly affect the fair value calculation are assumptions related to revenue growth, discount rate, public-market trading multiples and control premiums. The fair value of the reporting unit is reconciled to our market capitalization plus an estimated control premium.

Intangible assets subject to amortization (primarily franchise agreements, reacquired franchise rights and a favorable lease portfolio intangible asset recognized in the purchase of Jamba Juice in 2006) are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using a method of amortization that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed or otherwise realized. Estimated useful lives for the franchise agreements are 13.4 years. The useful life of reacquired franchise rights is the remaining term of the respective franchise agreement. The useful life of the favorable lease portfolio intangible is based on the related lease term.

Rent Expense

Minimum rental expenses are recognized over the term of the lease. We recognize minimum rent starting when possession of the property is taken from the landlord, which normally includes a construction period prior to store opening. When a lease contains a predetermined fixed escalation of the minimum rent, we recognize the related rent expense on a straight-line basis and record the difference between the recognized rental expense and the amounts payable under the lease as deferred rent liability. We also receive tenant allowances which are included in deferred rent liability. Tenant allowances are amortized as a reduction to rent expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the term of the lease.

Certain leases provide for contingent rents that are not measurable at inception. These contingent rents are primarily based on a percentage of revenue that is in excess of a predetermined level. These amounts are excluded from minimum rent and are included in the determination of rent expense when it is probable that the expense has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If our revenue for certain leases increases, it would result in higher contingent rent expense.

Jambacard Revenue Recognition

We sell our jambacards to our customers in our retail stores and through our website at www.jambajuice.com. Our jambacards do not have an expiration date. We recognize income from jambacards when (i) the jambacard is redeemed by the customer or (ii) the likelihood of the jambacard being redeemed by the customer is remote (also referred to as “breakage”) and we determine that we do not have a legal obligation to remit the value of unredeemed jambacards to the relevant jurisdictions. We determine the jambacard breakage amount based upon historical redemption patterns. We have concluded that after three years of inactivity the likelihood of redemption becomes remote and we recognize breakage at that time. Jambacard breakage income is included in other operating, net in the consolidated statements of operations. If historical redemption pattern changes, our financial statements could be materially affected.

We have sold jambacards since November of 2002. The jambacard works as a reloadable gift or debit card. At the time of the initial load, in an amount between $5 and $500, we record an obligation that is reflected as jambacard liability on the consolidated balance sheets. We relieve the liability and record the related revenue at the time a customer redeems any part of the amount on the card. The card does not have any expiration provisions and is not refundable, except as otherwise required by law.

Self-Insurance Reserves

For our workers’ compensation benefits, we were self-insured for existing and prior years’ exposures through September 30, 2008. We changed to a guaranteed cost program for workers compensation on October 1, 2008. Liabilities associated with the risks that we retain for workers compensation benefits are estimated in part, by considering historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors, and other actuarial assumptions. We are also self-insured for healthcare benefits. The estimated accruals for these liabilities are based on statistical analyses of historical industry data as well as actual historical trends. If actual claims experience differs from our assumptions, historical trends, and estimates, changes in our insurance reserves would impact the expense recorded in our consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities due to a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In establishing deferred income tax assets and liabilities, we make judgments and interpretations based on enacted tax laws and published tax guidance applicable to our operations. We record deferred tax assets and liabilities and evaluate the need for valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts more likely than not of being realized. Changes in our valuation of the deferred tax assets or changes in the income tax provision may affect our annual effective income tax rate.

A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when it is “more likely than not” that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Because of our recent history of operating losses, we believe the recognition of the deferred tax assets arising from the above-mentioned future tax benefits is currently not likely to be realized and, accordingly, have maintained a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets as of December 28, 2010.

The benefits of uncertain tax positions are recognized as the greatest amount more than 50% likely of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the position. On a quarterly basis, we review and update our inventory of tax positions as necessary to add any new uncertain tax positions taken, or to remove previously identified uncertain positions that have been adequately resolved. Additionally, uncertain positions may be re-measured as warranted by changes in facts or law. Accounting for uncertain tax positions requires significant judgments, including estimating the amount, timing and likelihood of ultimate settlement. Although we believe

that these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates. We classify estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations.

Share-based compensation

We account for share-based compensation based on fair value measurement guidance. The fair value of options granted is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Option valuation models, including Black-Scholes, require the input of highly subjective assumptions, and changes in the assumptions used can materially affect the grant date fair value of an award. These assumptions include the risk-free rate of interest, expected dividend yield, expected volatility and the expected life of the award. The risk-free rate of interest is based on the zero coupon U.S. Treasury rates appropriate for the expected term of the award. Expected dividends are zero based on history of not paying cash dividends on our common stock. Expected volatility is based on a 75/25 blend of historic daily stock price observations of our common stock since our inception and historic, daily stock price observations of our peers (companies in our industry that are viewed as a “concept” and a leader in the premium, specialty growth segment) during the period immediately preceding the share-based award grant that is equal in length to the award’s expected term. We also make assumptions for the number of awards that will ultimately not vest (“forfeitures”) and include it as a part of the determination of fair value. We use historical data to estimate expected employee behaviors related to option forfeitures. For expected life we apply the guidance provided by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110. There is currently no market-based mechanism or other practical application to verify the reliability and accuracy of the estimates stemming from these valuation models or assumptions, nor is there a means to compare and adjust the estimates to actual values, except for annual adjustments to reflect actual forfeitures. If actual results differ from our estimates, our financial statements could be materially affected.

The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on our closing stock price on the date of grant. These restricted stock units vest and become unrestricted three years after the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense is recognized ratably over the three-year service period for restricted stock units.

Fiscal Year 2010 to Fiscal Year 2009

Total revenue for fiscal 2010 was $262.7 million, a decrease of $38.9 million, or 12.9%, compared to $301.6 million for the prior year. Total revenue is comprised primarily of revenue from Company Stores and royalties and fees from Franchise Stores.

Company Store revenue

Company Store revenue in fiscal 2010 was $254.5 million, a decrease of $41.1 million, or 13.9 %, compared to Company Store revenue in fiscal 2009 of $295.6 million. The decrease in Company Store Revenue was due primarily to a net decrease of 127 Company Stores operating since the prior year period, which includes opening one new Company Store, closing 23, Company Stores (14 through natural lease expiration and nine through early termination) and refranchising, 105 Company Stores in connection with our refranchising initiative and the decrease in same-store sales as illustrated by the following table:


	Company Store Decrease in Revenue (in 000’s)
	2010 vs. 2009
Reduction in number of Company Stores, net	$	(35,125	)
Company Same-store sales decrease		(5,991	)

Total change in Company Store Revenue	$	(41,116	)

Company Same-store sales decreased $6.0 million in 2010, or 2.3%, attributable to a decrease of 5.6% in transaction count, partially offset by an increase of 3.3% in average check as compared to the prior year. Company Store comparable sales represents the change in year-over-year sales for all Company Stores opened for at least 13 full fiscal periods. At the end of fiscal 2010, approximately 99% of our Company Stores base had been open for at least 13 full fiscal periods.

Franchise and other revenue

Franchise and other revenue in fiscal 2010 was $8.2 million, an increase of $2.2 million, or 35.4%, compared to franchise and other revenue in fiscal 2009 of $6.0 million. The increase in Franchise and other revenue was due primarily to a net increase in Franchise Stores since the prior year period.

The number of Franchise Stores as of December 28, 2010 and December 29, 2009 was 392 and 261, respectively.

Fiscal Year 2009 to Fiscal Year 2008

Total revenue decreased 12.0% to $301.6 million for fiscal 2009, compared to $342.9 million for the prior year.

Company Store revenue

Company Store revenue in fiscal 2009 was $295.6 million, a decrease of $38.2 million, or 11.4%, compared to Company Store revenue in fiscal 2008 of $333.8 million. The decrease in Company Store Revenue was due primarily to the decrease in same-store sales and a net decrease of 33 Company Stores operating since fiscal 2008, which included opening two new Company Stores, closing eight Company Stores, and refranchising 27 Company Stores in connection with our refranchising initiative. We also experienced a closure of 22 Company Stores at the end of fiscal 2008 which further contributed to the decrease, as illustrated by the following table:


	Decrease in Company Store Revenue (in 000’s)
	2009 vs. 2008
Company Same-store sales decrease	$	(33,003	)
Reduction in number of Company Stores, net		(5,174	)

Total change in Company Store Revenue	$	(38,177	)

Same-store sales decreased $33.0 million in 2009, or 10.3%, attributable to a decrease of 16.8% from lower transaction count, partially offset by an increase of 6.5% in average check as compared to the prior year. At the end of fiscal 2009, approximately 99% of our Company Stores base had been open for at least 13 full fiscal periods.

Franchise and other revenue

Franchise and other revenue in fiscal 2009 was $6.0 million, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 34.7%, compared to franchise and other revenue in fiscal 2008 of $9.1 million. The decrease in franchise and other revenue was primarily attributable to $2.5 million decrease related to fees and reimbursements that the Company received for providing its Florida joint venture with franchise employee support that did not occur in fiscal 2009, combined with decreases in lower comparable Franchise Store sales, partially offset by a net increase of 43 Franchise Stores since the prior year period and our purchase of the outstanding ownership interest in our Florida joint venture in the prior year.

The number of Franchise Stores as of December 29, 2009 and December 30, 2008 was 261 and 218, respectively.

Cost of sales

Fiscal Year 2010 to Fiscal Year 2009

Cost of sales is mostly comprised of fruit, dairy, and other products used to make smoothies and juices, paper products, costs related to managing our procurement program, and vendor rebates. Cost of sales in fiscal 2010 was $61.3 million, a decrease of $11.4 million, or 15.6%, compared to $72.7 million for the prior year. Our refranchising initiative has resulted in a decrease in Company Stores and the related costs and expenses to operate, manage, and support these refranchised Company Stores. As a percentage of Company Store revenue, costs of sales decreased to 24.1% for fiscal 2010 compared to 24.6% for the prior year. The decrease of cost of sales as a percentage of Company Store revenue was primarily due to improved commodity management (approximately 1.2%), partially offset by unfavorable product mix shifts (approximately 0.5%). Vendor rebates offset the costs of managing our procurement program.

Fiscal Year 2009 to Fiscal Year 2008

Cost of sales in fiscal 2009 was $72.7 million, a decrease of $16.5 million, or 18.5%, compared to $89.2 million for the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to the net reduction in the number of Company Stores

since fiscal 2008 and the decrease in Company Store comparable sales. As a percentage of Company Store revenue, costs of sales decreased to 24.6% for fiscal 2009 compared to 26.7% for the prior year. The decrease of cost of sales as a percentage of Company Store revenue was primarily due to improved commodity management (approximately 2.5%), partially offset by unfavorable product mix shifts (approximately 0.4%).

Labor

Fiscal Year 2010 to Fiscal Year 2009

Labor costs are comprised of store management salaries and bonuses, hourly team member payroll, training costs and other associated fringe benefits. Labor costs in fiscal 2010 were $85.2 million, a decrease of $15.4 million, or 15.3%, compared to $100.6 million for the prior year. Our refranchising initiative has resulted in a decrease in Company Stores and the related costs and expenses to operate, manage, and support these refranchised Company Stores. As a percentage of Company Store revenue, labor costs decreased to 33.5% for fiscal 2010 compared to 34.0% for the prior year. The decrease of labor costs as a percentage of Company Store revenue was primarily due to improvements in hourly labor from effective wage management and improved productivity (approximately 2.0%), partially offset by increased workers compensation insurance costs attributable primarily to an adjustment to reflect lower claims costs in 2009 that did not recur in 2010 (approximately 0.3%).

Fiscal Year 2009 to Fiscal Year 2008

Labor costs in fiscal 2009 were $100.6 million, a decrease of $19.7 million, or 16.4%, compared to $120.3 million for the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to the net decrease in the number of Company Stores since fiscal 2008 and the decrease in Company Store comparable sales. As a percentage of Company Store revenue, labor costs decreased to 34.0% for fiscal 2009 compared to 36.0% for the prior year. The decrease of labor costs as a percentage of Company Store revenue was primarily due to improvements in hourly labor from effective wage management and improved productivity (approximately 4.0%) and a decrease in workers compensation insurance costs attributable primarily to an adjustment to reflect lower claims costs in 2009 (approximately 1.4%), partially offset by the impact of deleverage as a result of the decrease in Company Store comparable sales (approximately 3.7%).

Occupancy

Fiscal Year 2010 to Fiscal Year 2009

Occupancy costs include both fixed and variable portions of rent, common area maintenance charges, property taxes, licenses and property insurance for all Company Store locations. Occupancy costs in fiscal 2010 were $38.6 million, a decrease of $5.3 million, or 12.1%, compared to $43.9 million for the prior year. Our refranchising initiative has resulted in a decrease in Company Stores and the related costs and expenses to operate, manage, and support these refranchised Company Stores. As a percentage of Company Store revenue, occupancy costs increased to 15.2% for fiscal 2010 compared to 14.8% for the prior year. The increase in occupancy costs as a percentage of Company store revenue was primarily due to the impact of deleverage as a result of the decrease in Company Store comparable sales.

Fiscal Year 2009 to Fiscal Year 2008

Occupancy costs in fiscal 2009 were $43.9 million, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 2.2%, compared to $44.9 million for the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to net decrease in the number of Company Stores since fiscal 2008 and the benefits from rent reductions we received from certain landlords, partially offset by an increase in real estate taxes and common area maintenance fees (approximately $0.3 million). As a percentage of Company Store revenue, occupancy costs increased to 14.8% for fiscal 2009 compared to 13.4% for the prior year. The increase in occupancy costs as a percentage of Company Store revenue was primarily due to the impact of deleverage as a result of the decrease in Company Store comparable sales.

Store operating

Fiscal Year 2010 to Fiscal Year 2009

Store operating expenses consist primarily of various store-level costs such as utilities, marketing, repairs and maintenance, credit card fees and other store operating expenses. Total store operating expenses in fiscal 2010 were $38.4 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 1.0%, compared to $38.7 million for the prior year. Our refranchising initiative has resulted in a decrease in Company Stores and the related costs and expenses to operate, manage, and support these refranchised Company Stores. As a percentage of Company Store Revenue, total store operating expenses increased to 15.1% for fiscal 2010 compared to 13.1% for the prior year. The increase in total store operating expenses as a percentage of Company Store revenue was primarily due to an increase in marketing expense (approximately 1.1%), an increase in utility rates (approximately 0.2%), deleverage due to the decrease in Company Store comparable sales (approximately 0.4%), and increased credit card usage as a percentage of Company Store sales (approximately 0.2%).

Fiscal Year 2009 to Fiscal Year 2008

Store operating expenses in fiscal 2009 were $38.7 million, a decrease of $5.0 million, or 11.4%, compared to $43.7 million for the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to the net decrease in the number of Company Stores since fiscal 2008, a decrease in marketing expense, decrease in repairs and maintenance expense, utility and credit card fees. As a percentage of Company Store revenue, total store operating expenses remained flat at 13.1% for fiscal 2009 compared to the prior year, as a result of decreases in marketing expenses (approximately 0.6%), offset by impact of deleverage as a result of the decrease in Company Store comparable sales (approximately 0.5%).

Depreciation and amortization

Fiscal Year 2010 to Fiscal Year 2009

Depreciation and amortization expenses include the depreciation of fixed assets and the amortization of intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization in fiscal 2010 was $14.6 million, a decrease of $3.7 million, or 20.0%, compared to $18.3 million for the prior year. Our refranchising initiative has resulted in a decrease in Company Stores and related assets, resulting in a reduction in the carrying value of Company Store fixed assets. As a percentage of total revenue, depreciation and amortization decreased to 5.6% for fiscal 2010 as compared to 6.1% for the prior year. The decrease in depreciation and amortization as a percentage of total revenue was primarily due to store impairment charges taken in 2009 (approximately 0.4%) that resulted in a lower depreciable base.

Fiscal Year 2009 to Fiscal Year 2008

Depreciation and amortization in fiscal 2009 was $18.3 million a decrease of $6.4 million, or 26.1%, compared to $24.7 million for the prior year. Depreciation and amortization decreased primarily due to the net decrease in Company stores operating since fiscal 2008 and the reduction in fixed assets carrying value resulting from impairment charges taken in fiscal 2008 through fiscal 2009. As a percentage of total revenue, depreciation and amortization decreased to 6.1% for fiscal 2009 compared to 7.2% for the prior year. The decrease in depreciation and amortization as a percentage of total revenue was primarily due to store impairment charges taken in 2008 (approximately 1.9%), partially offset by the impact of deleverage as a result of the decrease in Company Store comparable sales (approximately 0.8%) that resulted in a lower depreciable base.

General and administrative

Fiscal Year 2010 to Fiscal Year 2009

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses include costs associated with our corporate headquarters in Emeryville, CA, field supervision, bonuses, outside and contract services, accounting and legal fees, travel and

travel-related expenses, share-based compensation and other. Total G&A expenses in fiscal 2010 were $37.3 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 0.6%, compared to $37.0 million for the prior year. As a percentage of total revenue, total G&A expenses increased to 14.2% for fiscal 2010 compared to 12.3% for the prior year. The increase of total G&A expenses was primarily due to charges to settle outstanding litigation and related costs (approximately $2.1 million), increases in bonuses for the accomplishment and acceleration of our strategic objectives (approximately $1.3 million of which $0.7 million was in equity and affected non cash stock-based compensation), partially offset by the decrease in the number of Company Stores and the related overhead expenses to manage and support these Company Stores as a result of our refranchising initiative (approximately $1.5 million).

Fiscal Year 2009 to Fiscal Year 2008

G&A expenses in fiscal 2009 were $37.0 million, a decrease of $11.1 million, or 22.9%, compared to $48.1 million for the prior year. As a percentage of total revenue, G&A expenses decreased to 12.3% for fiscal 2009, compared to 14.0% for the prior year. This decrease in G&A expenses was primarily due to headcount reductions implemented during fiscal 2008 and the associated decrease in travel and travel-related expenses (approximately $7.5 million), decreases in share-based compensation (approximately $2.9 million), and decreases in accounting and legal fees attributable to more efficient use of external third-party expertise and greater reliance on internal resources (approximately $1.3 million), partially offset by increased contract services (approximately $0.6 million).

Store pre-opening

Fiscal Year 2010 to Fiscal Year 2009

Store pre-opening costs are primarily expenses incurred for training new store personnel, pre-opening marketing and pre-opening rent. Store pre-opening costs in fiscal 2010 were $0.6 million, an increase of $0.1 million, or 25.6%, compared to $0.5 million for the prior year. The increase in Store pre-opening expenses was primarily due to the opening of one new Company Store and 30 new Franchise Stores in fiscal 2010 as compared to the opening of two new Company Stores and 23 new Franchise Stores in the prior year.

Fiscal Year 2009 to Fiscal Year 2008

Store pre-opening costs in fiscal 2009 were $0.5 million, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 74.8%, compared to $2.0 million for the prior year. The decrease in store pre-opening expense was primarily due to the opening of two new Company Stores and 23 new Franchise Stores in fiscal 2009 as compared to the opening of 35 new Company Stores and 37 new Franchise Stores in the prior year.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Fiscal Year 2010 to Fiscal Year 2009

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. Expected future cash flows associated with an asset, in addition to other quantitative and qualitative analyses, including certain assumptions about expected future operating performance and changes in economic conditions are the key factors in determining undiscounted future cash flows. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, we recognize an impairment loss equal to the amount by which carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. For more information, please refer to the discussion under “Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” included in Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Impairment of long-lived assets in fiscal 2010 was $2.8 million, a decrease of $9.8 million, or 78.0%, compared to $12.6 million for the prior year. The decrease of impairment of long-lived assets was primarily due to a reduction in the carrying value of store fixed assets in 2009 that did not recur to the same extent in 2010.

Fiscal Year 2009 to Fiscal Year 2008

Impairment of long-lived assets in fiscal 2009 was $12.6 million, a decrease of $15.2 million, or 54.5%, compared to $27.8 million for the prior year. The decrease of impairment of long-lived assets was primarily due to the reduction in the carrying value of fixed assets caused by prior years’ impairment charges and the closure of 38 underperforming Company Stores in fiscal 2008.

Store lease termination and closure

Fiscal Year 2010 to Fiscal Year 2009

Lease termination costs consist primarily of the costs of future obligations related to closed store locations. Discounted liabilities for future lease costs and the fair value of related subleases of closed locations are recorded when the stores are closed. These amounts are subject to adjustments as liabilities are settled. In assessing the discounted liabilities for future costs of obligations related to closed stores, we make assumptions regarding amounts of future subleases. If these assumptions or their related estimates change in the future, we may be required to record additional exit costs or reduce exit costs previously recorded. Exit costs recorded for each of the periods presented include the net effect of such changes in estimates (See Note 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Store lease termination and closure costs were $4.3 million in fiscal 2010, an increase of $3.1 million, or 244.8 %, compared to $1.2 million for the prior year. The increase of store lease termination and closure costs was primarily due to the closing of 23 Company Stores during fiscal 2010, of which nine were closed prior to the lease expiration date. During fiscal 2009, we closed eight Company Stores, and four were closed prior to their respective lease expiration dates. Lease obligations are payable through 2021.

Fiscal Year 2009 to Fiscal Year 2008

Store lease termination and closure costs were $1.2 million in fiscal 2009, a decrease of $8.8 million, or 87.7%, compared to $10.0 million for the prior year. The decrease of store lease termination and closure costs was primarily due to the closing of eight Company Stores during fiscal 2009, of which four were closed prior to their respective lease expiration dates. During fiscal 2008, we closed 38 Company Stores, of which 30 were closed prior to their respective lease expiration dates.

Trademark and goodwill impairment

Fiscal Year 2010 to Fiscal Year 2009

There was no trademark and goodwill impairment recorded for fiscal 2010 as the value of our trademarks and goodwill had previously been written down to zero.

Fiscal Year 2009 to Fiscal Year 2008

There was no trademark and goodwill impairment recorded for fiscal 2009 as the value of our trademarks and goodwill had previously been written down to zero. We recorded $84.1 million of trademark and goodwill impairment during fiscal 2008 primarily related to the impairment of our trademark. Impairment losses recognized resulted from the difference between the fair value and recorded value for goodwill and trademarks (See Note 6 and Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). For more information, please refer to the discussion under “Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Trademark, Goodwill and Other Intangible Asset Impairment” included in Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other operating, net

Fiscal Year 2010 to Fiscal Year 2009

Other operating, net consists primarily of gain or loss on disposals, income from jambacard breakage and amortization of jambacard liability. In fiscal 2010, other operating, net was $4.3 million of income, an increase of $0.5 million, or 11.8%, compared to other operating, net of $3.8 million of income for fiscal 2009. The increase of other operating, net is primarily due to an increase in jambacard breakage income net of amortization (approximately $2.5 million), partially offset by the net loss on disposal of fixed assets (approximately $2.0 million). The jambacard breakage income includes an adjustment of $1.5 million to record the effect of escheatment status change in certain States.

Fiscal Year 2009 to Fiscal Year 2008

Other operating, net in fiscal 2009 was operating income of $3.8 million, an increase of $7.6 million compared to operating expense of $3.8 million for the prior year. The increase in other operating income of $7.6 million as compared to fiscal 2008 resulted primarily from a gain on the sale of certain refranchised Company Stores (approximately $2.0 million), increase in jambacard breakage income and amortization of jambacard liability (approximately $1.1 million), an expense recorded in fiscal 2008 resulting from a write-off of loan origination fees and early termination fees for our previous credit agreement with a financial institution (approximately $1.0 million), and an expense recorded in loss from disposals which occurred in fiscal 2008 (approximately $1.7 million).

Gain from derivative liabilities

Fiscal Year 2010 to Fiscal Year 2009

No gain from derivative liabilities was recorded for fiscal 2010 compared to a gain of $1.6 million for the prior year period. No gain or loss from derivative liabilities was recorded as the warrants that were classified as derivative liabilities have expired and no gain or loss was recorded for the change in the fair value of our Put and Call Right issued in connection with the issuance of our Senior Notes because it was exercised during the second fiscal quarter of 2009.

Fiscal Year 2009 to Fiscal Year 2008

Gain from derivative liabilities in fiscal 2009 was $1.6 million, a decrease of $6.2 million, or 79.8%, compared to $7.8 million for the prior year. The decrease in gain from derivative liabilities was primarily due to the change in the fair value of our warrants that were classified as derivative liabilities and the change in the fair value of our Put and Call Rights we issued in connection with our previous Financing Agreement (see Note 13 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) as compared to the prior year. The warrants expired and the put portion of the Put and Call Rights was exercised during the second fiscal quarter of 2009.

Interest income

Fiscal Year 2010 to Fiscal Year 2009

Interest income represents interest earned on cash held in our interest bearing accounts. Interest income in fiscal 2010 was $0.1 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 81.9%, compared to $0.4 million for the prior year. The decrease of interest income was primarily due to lower interest rates in fiscal 2010 (approximately $0.3 million).

Fiscal Year 2009 to Fiscal Year 2008

Interest income in fiscal 2009 was $0.4 million, relatively flat, or 10.7%, compared to $0.4 million for the prior year. The increase in interest income was primarily due to higher average cash balances resulting primarily from the net proceeds from issuing the Series B redeemable preferred shares.

Interest expense

Fiscal Year 2010 to Fiscal Year 2009

Interest expense in fiscal 2010 was $0.5 million, a decrease of $6.4 million compared to $6.9 million for the prior year. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the repayment of outstanding Senior Notes and the payment of related interest as well as prepayment penalties and wrote off the associated prepaid loan fees and transaction costs in fiscal 2009 that did not re-occur in fiscal 2010. The repayment resulted from the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock in June 2009. (See Note 13 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

During fiscal 2010 and 2009, we paid cash dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock totaling $2.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Fiscal Year 2009 to Fiscal Year 2008

Interest expense in fiscal 2009 was $6.9 million, an increase of $4.8 million compared to $2.1 million for the prior year. The increase of $4.8 million was primarily due to interest paid on our outstanding Senior Notes, prepayment penalties and write-off of prepaid loan fees and transaction costs in connection with the repayment of the outstanding Senior Notes. (See Note 13 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Income tax (expense) benefit

Fiscal Year 2010 to Fiscal Year 2009

Income tax expense in fiscal 2010 was $(0.2) million compared to an income tax benefit of $1.1 million for the prior year. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to foreign taxes incurred in fiscal 2010.

Fiscal Year 2009 to Fiscal Year 2008

Income tax benefit in fiscal 2009 was $1.1 million compared to $0.3 million in fiscal 2008. The increase in income tax benefit as was primarily due to the release of liability on certain state credits as the statute has expired (approximately $0.5 million) and by release of the valuation allowance against alternative minimum tax credits (approximately $0.6 million).

Refranchising Initiative

In May 2009 we announced our refranchising initiative under which we stated our intent to sell existing Company Stores to new or existing franchisees who want to operate multiple store locations. We believe that our refranchising initiative will help accelerate growth and may also help us to achieve certain operational efficiencies.

Under this refranchising initiative, we planned to complete the refranchising of up to 150 Company Stores to new or existing franchisees. During fiscal 2010, we completed the sale of 105 Company Stores in fifteen separate refranchising transactions and during 2009 we completed the sale of 27 Company Stores, bringing the refranchising program total to 132 Company Stores sold. We expect to conclude our refranchising program with the sale of 41 Company Stores in the Chicago and Minneapolis markets sometime in early 2011, bringing the total number of Company Stores refranchised to 173. In many refranchising transactions, we entered into development agreements committing buyers to build additional Franchise Stores in the regions their purchased stores occupy. In addition, as part of these refranchising transactions, buyers of mature Company Stores are obligated to refresh and refurbish these stores.

The refranchising initiative has helped to accelerate growth, achieve certain operating efficiencies, and shift our business to an asset light model.

As we conclude our refranchising efforts, we have realized a number of possible benefits including:

•

generation of additional cash;

•

expansion of market share and accelerated growth of the brand outside of California;

•

achievement of a more balanced risk and financial profile;

•

improve long-term stockholder value and earnings growth for the Company;

•

having the franchisee, rather than the Company, pay for the refresh and refurbishment of mature Company Stores that were sold;

•

potential reductions in total general and administrative expenses; and

•

acceleration of our growth as new area developers begin to fulfill their development obligations.

Cash Flows Summary

The following table summarizes our cash flows for each of the past three full fiscal years (in thousands):


	December 28, 2010			December 29, 2009			December 30, 2008
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities	$	(953	)	$	8,464		$	8,164
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities		3,598			(3,127	)		(33,050	)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities		(2,378	)		2,598			22,692

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	267		$	7,935		$	(2,194	)

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $9.4 million in fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009 primarily due to a decrease in cash flows related to our jambacard sales (approximately $13.5 million) and a decrease in refundable taxes received during fiscal 2009, (approximately $5.2 million) partially offset by an increase in cash flows relating to receivables (approximately $8.8 million). We did not continue the program we had with Costco in fiscal 2009 whereby we sold jambacards to Costco who resold them to its customers. As a result, at the end of fiscal 2010, we did not have receivables for the cards sold to Costco, nor did we have the related liability for the cards sold to Costco.

Cash provided by operating activities increased by $0.3 million in fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008 primarily due to the increased cash flows as a result of our jambacard sales, much of which was attributable to the program we entered into with Costco in fiscal 2009 which we did not have in fiscal 2008 (approximately $6.4 million) partially offset by a net decrease in cash flows related to other operating liabilities including accounts payable and accrued liabilities (approximately $6.1 million).

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities increased $6.7 million in fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009 primarily due to an increase in proceeds received from the refranchising of 105 Company Stores (approximately $9.0 million), a decrease in spending for the purchases of property and equipment (approximately $0.7 million), partially offset by a decrease in restricted cash as a result of the payoff of our Financing Agreement during 2009 (approximately $3.0 million).

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $29.9 million in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008 primarily due to a reduction in the development of new Company Stores in fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal

2008 (approximately $19.3 million), an increase in proceeds from the sale of Company Stores in refranchising transactions (approximately $4.7 million), partially offset by a decrease in restricted cash as a result of the payoff of our Financing Agreement during 2009 (approximately $3.0 million) and relating to the change to a guaranteed cost workers’ compensation program (approximately $2.8 million).

In fiscal 2011, we expect capital expenditures to be between $9 million to $10 million depending on our liquidity needs. We expect to open up to ten new Company Stores as we focus our growth on franchise development. We anticipate investing in technology infrastructure, and maintenance capital.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $5.0 million in fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009, due to the preferred stock issuance in 2009, net of repayment of the Senior Notes and transaction costs (approximately $7.2 million), partially offset by the related put option payment (approximately $3.0 million) and an increase in preferred stock dividends payments (approximately $0.9 million).

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $20.1 million in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008 primarily due to net proceeds of our issuance of preferred stock of $34.1 million, which was used to pay off our note payable of $25.0 million principal plus accrued interest, the exercise of an outstanding put option which required us to repurchase two million shares of our outstanding stock for $3.0 million, transaction costs paid in connection with the issuance of our preferred stock of $1.9 million, preferred stock dividend payments of $1.4 million and payment on capital leases of $0.3 million.

Liquidity

As of December 28, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $29.0 million and no short term or long term debt compared to $28.8 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 29, 2009. Our primary sources of liquidity are the remaining cash on hand, the sale of the remaining Company Stores as part of our refranchising initiative, and cash flows provided by operating activities. In the future, and as permitted under the Securities Purchase Agreement for the Series B Preferred Stock, we may enter into equipment leasing arrangements and incur up to $10.0 million of indebtedness as necessary. We cannot assure, however, that such financing will be available on favorable terms or at all. As of December 28, 2010, we held $1.8 million in restricted cash, which represented cash held in money market accounts or certificates of deposit to collateralize our letters of credit and advertising fund.

We expect that our cash on hand, cash flows provided by operating activities and funds from completing our refranchising initiative will be sufficient to fund our working capital and general corporate needs, Series B Preferred Stock dividend payments and the non-discretionary capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. Our primary liquidity and capital requirements for working capital and general corporate needs and the planned fiscal 2011 capital expenditures are described above. The use of cash to fund discretionary capital expenditures will be based on the need to conserve our capital.

The adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including the macroeconomic environment, the operating performance of our Company Stores, the successful expansion of our franchise and licensing programs, the completion of our refranchising initiative and the successful rollout and consumer acceptance of our new beverage and food initiatives. Given these factors, our foremost priorities for the near term continue to be preserving and generating cash sufficient to fund our liquidity needs.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes contractual obligations and borrowings as of December 28, 2010, and the timing and effect that such commitments are expected to have on our liquidity and capital requirements in future periods. We expect to fund these commitments primarily with operating cash flows generated in the normal course of business.

⁽¹⁾

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Jamba Juice Company, is a party to each Company Store lease obligation. The operating lease obligations represent future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases and lease termination fees as of December 28, 2010. The minimum lease payments do not include common area maintenance (“CAM”) charges, insurance, contingent rent obligations or real estate taxes, which are also required contractual obligations under our operating leases. In the majority of our operating leases, CAM charges are not fixed and can fluctuate from year to year. Total CAM charges, insurance, contingent rent obligations, license, permits and real estate taxes for our fiscal year ended December 28, 2010 were $9.0 million.

⁽²⁾

We negotiate pricing and quality specifications for many of the products used in Company Stores and Franchise Stores. This allows for volume pricing and consistent quality of products that meet our standards. Although we negotiate and contract directly with manufacturers, co-packers or growers for our products, we purchase these products from third-party centralized distributors. These distributors source, warehouse and deliver specified products to both Company Stores and Franchise Stores. We also have contracts with certain vendors which require minimum purchases that are included in the purchase obligations noted above.

As of December 28, 2010, our gross unrecognized tax benefits totaled $1.3 million and are not included in the table as a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of future payments, if any, cannot be predicted.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

New Accounting Standards

See the Recent Accounting Pronouncements section in Note 1 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of new accounting standards.

SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS

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

INFLATION

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. However, we cannot predict what effect inflation may have on our operations in the future.

ITEM 7A.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rates

We do not enter into market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes. We are exposed to financial market risks due primarily to changes in interest rates in our interest bearing accounts. We do not believe a change in interest rate will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. A one percent change of the interest rate would result in an annual change in the results of operations of $0.3 million.

Commodities Prices

We purchase significant amounts of fruits and dairy products to support the needs of our Company Stores. The price and availability of these commodities directly impacts the results of operations and can be expected to impact the future results of operations.

We purchase fruit based on short-term seasonal pricing agreements. These short-term agreements generally set the price of procured frozen fruit and 100% pure fruit concentrates for less than one year based on estimated annual requirements. In order to mitigate the effects of price changes in any one commodity on its cost structure, we contract with multiple suppliers both domestically and internationally. These agreements typically set the price for some or all of our estimated annual fruit requirements, protecting us from short-term volatility. Nevertheless, these agreements typically contain a force majeure clause, which, if utilized (such as hurricanes in 2004 that destroyed the Florida orange crop and more recently with the 2007 freeze that affected California citrus), may subject us to significant price increases.

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

AND DECEMBER 30, 2008

1. BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business—Jamba, Inc. together with its wholly owned subsidiary (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering in July 2005. The Company’s management had broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its initial public offering (“IPO”), although substantially all of the net proceeds of the IPO were intended to be generally applied toward consummating a merger with an operating company. This operating company was subsequently identified as Jamba Juice Company.

On March 10, 2006, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Jamba Juice Company (the “Merger Agreement”). On November 29, 2006 (the “Merger Date”), the Company consummated the merger with Jamba Juice Company (the “Merger”) whereby Jamba Juice Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary is a leading restaurant retailer of better-for-you beverage and food offerings, including great tasting fruit smoothies, juices and teas, hot oatmeal made with organic steel cut oats, wraps, salads, sandwiches and California Flatbread and a variety of baked goods and snacks. As of December 28, 2010, there were 743 locations consisting of 351 company owned and operated stores and 392 franchise stores operating in 23 states and the Bahamas. Of these 743 locations, 391 are located in California. Jamba Juice Company began operations in 1990.

Basis of Presentation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Jamba Juice Company. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The equity method of accounting is used to account for the joint venture owned by Jamba Juice Company because Jamba Juice Company exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies of its partners. Accordingly, the carrying value of this investment is reported in other long-term assets, and the Company’s equity in the net income and losses of this investment is reported in other operating, net.

Fiscal Year End— On June 7, 2007, Jamba, Inc.’s board of directors approved a change to the Company’s fiscal year end from the second Tuesday following December 31 to the Tuesday closest to December 31. The Company’s most recently completed fiscal year, referred to as fiscal 2010, started on December 30, 2009 and ended on December 28, 2010. The Company’s fiscal 2009 started on December 31, 2008 and ended on December 29, 2009, which is referred to as fiscal 2009. The Company’s fiscal 2008 started on January 2, 2008 and ended on December 30, 2008, which is referred to as fiscal 2008.

Significant Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could affect the results of operations reported in future periods.

Reclassifications—During fiscal 2010, the Company reclassified to cost of sales certain costs of managing its procurement program, which commenced at the beginning of the year. The Company recorded $ 1.7 million, previously recorded in general and administrative expense, in cost of sales under this program. During fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, these costs were recorded in general and administrative expense and were $1.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Concentrations of Risk—The Company maintains food distribution contracts primarily with one supplier, Southwest Traders, Inc. This supplier provided approximately 75%, 75% and 81% of foods and products sold in

JAMBA, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(continued)

FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 2010, DECEMBER 29, 2009

AND DECEMBER 30, 2008

Company Stores, in fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively, which potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of business risk. If this supplier had operational problems or ceased making product available to the Company, operations could be adversely affected.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality financial institutions. Balances in the Company’s cash accounts frequently exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit.

Self-Insurance Reserves—For workers’ compensation benefits, the Company was self-insured for existing and prior years’ exposures through September 30, 2008. The Company changed to a guaranteed cost program for workers compensation on October 1, 2008. Liabilities associated with the risks that the Company retain for workers compensation benefits are estimated in part, by considering historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors, and other actuarial assumptions. The Company is also self-insured for healthcare benefits and liabilities are based on statistical analyses of historical industry data as well as actual historical trends. The estimated accruals for these liabilities could be significantly affected if future occurrences and claims differ from these assumptions and historical trends. If actual claims experience differs from Management’s assumptions, historical trends, and estimates, changes in insurance reserves would impact the expense recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of December 28, 2010 and December 29, 2009, the Company did not have any investments with maturities greater than three months.

Restricted Cash and Investments—At December 28, 2010, the Company held $1.8 million in restricted cash, of which $1.6 million was classified as a current asset and $0.2 million classified as a long-term asset, representing cash held in money market accounts or certificates of deposits to collateralize the Company’s letters of credit which is required since the Company was self-insured, and $0.3 million for advertising fund.

At December 29, 2009, the Company held $2.7 million in restricted cash, of which $1.3 million was classified as a current asset and $1.4 million classified as a long-term asset, representing cash held in money market accounts or certificates of deposits to collateralize the Company’s letters of credit, which is required since the Company was self-insured.

Receivables—Receivables primarily represent amounts due from sale of jambacards, royalty fees, advertising fees, construction allowances, amounts receivable from suppliers and jambacards issued by the franchisees. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable.

Inventories—Inventories include only the purchase cost and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO). Inventories consist of food, beverages and available-for-sale promotional products.

Property, Fixtures and Equipment—Property, fixtures and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. The estimated useful life for leasehold improvements is the lesser of 10 years or the term of the underlying lease. The estimated useful life for furniture, fixtures and equipment is three to 10 years.

JAMBA, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(continued)

FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 2010, DECEMBER 29, 2009

AND DECEMBER 30, 2008

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—Long-lived assets, including leasehold improvements, and other fixed assets are reviewed for impairment at least quarterly and when indicators of impairment are present. Expected cash flows associated with an asset, in addition to other quantitative and qualitative analyses are the key factors in determining the recoverability of the asset. Identifiable cash flows are measured at the individual store level. The estimate of cash flows is based upon, among other things, certain assumptions about expected future operating performance. Management’s estimates of undiscounted cash flows may differ from actual cash flows due to, among other things, changes in economic conditions, changes to its business model or changes in operating performance. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.

As a result of its refranchising initiative, announced in May 2009, the Company classifies assets as held for sale and suspends depreciation and amortization on such assets when all of the following criteria are met: (i) Board of Directors approval to refranchise (the store or group of stores) is received; (ii) the stores can be immediately removed from operations; (iii) an active program to locate a buyer is implemented; (iv) the assets are being actively marketed for sale at or near their current fair value; (v) significant changes to the plan of sale are not likely; and (vi) the sale is probable within one year. Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on the purchase price in the asset purchase agreement. Assets held for sale are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

Refranchising—For each refranchise transaction, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement, and related franchise agreements, and sublease agreements. Certain franchise agreements included royalty concessions over future years and certain sublease agreements included rent concessions for some or all of the remaining terms of the leases. The royalty and rent concessions are discounted to present value and recorded as liabilities. At December 28, 2010, royalty concessions and rent concessions were $0.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively, and were included in deferred revenue and other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. There were no rent or royalty concessions as of December 29, 2009.

Trademarks, Goodwill and Other Intangible Asset Impairment—Trademarks are not subject to amortization and are tested for impairment annually (at year-end), or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company performed its test for impairment on trademarks by comparing the fair value of the trademarks to their carrying amounts. An impairment loss was generally recognized when the carrying amount of the trademarks is less than the fair value. The fair value of trademarks was estimated using the income approach-relief from royalty method, which was based on the projected cost savings attributable to the ownership of the trademarks.

The Company tested for goodwill impairment annually (at year-end) or whenever events occurred or circumstances changed that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The required two-step approach uses accounting judgments and estimates of future operating results. Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different results. Impairment testing is done at a reporting unit level. An impairment loss generally is recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The estimates and judgments that most significantly affect the fair value calculation are assumptions related to revenue growth, discount rate, public-market trading multiples and control premiums. The fair value of the reporting unit is reconciled to the Company’s market capitalization plus an estimated control premium (See Note 6 and Note 7).

JAMBA, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(continued)

FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 2010, DECEMBER 29, 2009

AND DECEMBER 30, 2008

Intangible assets subject to amortization (primarily franchise agreements, reacquired franchise rights and a favorable lease portfolio intangible asset recognized in the purchase of Jamba Juice in 2006) are tested for impairment annually (at year-end) or more frequently if changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using a method of amortization that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed or otherwise realized. Useful lives for the franchise agreements and employment agreements are 13.4 years and 4.0 years, respectively. The useful life of reacquired franchise rights represents the remaining term of the franchise agreement. The useful life of the favorable lease portfolio intangible is based on the related lease term.

Jambacards—The Company, through its subsidiary, Jamba Juice Company, has been selling jambacards to its customers in its retail stores and through its website since November 2002. The Company’s jambacards do not have an expiration date. An obligation is recorded at the time of either an initial load or a subsequent reload in accrued jambacard liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes income from jambacards when (i) the jambacard is redeemed by the customer or (ii) the likelihood of the jambacard being redeemed by the customer is remote (also referred to as “jambacard breakage”) and the Company determines that it does not have a legal obligation to remit the unredeemed jambacards to the relevant jurisdictions. The Company determines the jambacard breakage amount based upon its historical redemption patterns. The Company has concluded that after three years of inactivity, the likelihood of redemption becomes remote and recognizes breakage income at that time. Jambacard breakage income is included in other operating, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

As a result of the Merger, the jambacard liability was adjusted to fair value by discounting the projected cash flows to present value, which are the costs to service deferred revenue, plus an estimated operating margin. The adjustment is being amortized over the expected life of the jambacard and resulted in $0.2 million, $0.1 million, $0.4 million of expense during fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively, which offset the amount recorded as jambacard breakage income. The Company recorded $5.4 million, $2.9 million and $2.1 million of jambacard breakage income during fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively.

Rent Expense—Under the provisions of certain of our leases, there are rent holidays and/or escalations in payments over the base lease term, as well as renewal periods. The effects of rent holidays and escalations are reflected in rent costs on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term, which includes cancelable option periods when it is deemed to be reasonably assured that the Company will exercise such option periods due to the fact that the Company would incur an economic penalty for not doing so. The lease term commences on the date when the Company becomes legally obligated for the rent payments which generally coincides with the time when the landlord delivers the property for us to develop. All rent costs recognized during construction periods are classified as pre-opening expenses. Pursuant to the refranchising initiative, the Company recorded liabilities for rent concessions over the remaining term of certain store leases of refranchised stores.

Construction Allowances—The Company receives construction allowances from certain landlords, which are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as a reduction of rent expense. Construction allowances are recorded in deferred rent and other long-term liabilities.

Revenue Recognition—Revenue from Company Stores is recognized when product is sold. Revenue is presented net of any taxes collected from customers and remitted to government entities. Revenue from jambacards is recognized upon redemption. Until redemption, outstanding customer balances are recorded as a liability. See “jambacards” section above for discussion on recognition of jambacard breakage.

FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 2010, DECEMBER 29, 2009

AND DECEMBER 30, 2008

Franchise revenue is generated from three sources; royalties, development fees, and initial franchise fees.

Royalties from franchised stores are determined as a percentage of revenue and are recognized in the same period as the related franchise store revenue. If collection of the franchise royalty fee is doubtful, revenue is recognized at the time of collection.

Development fees are paid to the Company as part of an agreement to open and operate a specific number of stores in a specified territory. The amount of the fee is based on the number of stores to be opened pursuant to the development agreement and secures the territory for exclusivity during the development. The nonrefundable fees collected for these services are recognized ratably as the franchise stores under these agreements open. The Company’s multi-unit development agreements specify the number of stores to be opened. Any changes to the specific number of stores would be stated in a subsequent contractual agreement (see Note 3).

The Company charges an initial franchise fee for providing operational materials, new store opening planning, and functional training courses. Initial franchise fees, if any, are due for payment at the time the franchise agreement for a particular store is executed. Franchise fees are recognized as revenue when all material services or conditions have been substantially performed or satisfied and no other material conditions or obligations related to the determination of substantial performance exist. Duties and services that are completed prior to approval include training, facilities inspection, receipt of operating license(s), and clearance from appropriate agencies. These duties and services are substantially complete prior to the approval of the opening of a store. Duties and services relating to the earning of the franchise fees are necessary for the stores to open. Revenue is recognized when the store opens.

Royalties from licensed retail products are based on a percentage of product sales and are recognized as revenue upon the sale of the product to retail outlets.

Cost of Sales—The Company includes in cost of sales, costs incurred to acquire fruit, dairy and other products used to make smoothies and juices, paper products, as well as the costs related to managing our procurement program, and payments received from vendors.

Advertising Fund—The Company participates with its franchisees in an advertising fund, established in fiscal 2010, to collect and administer funds contributed for use in advertising and promotional programs which are designed to increase sales and enhance the reputation of the Company and its franchise owners. Contributions to the advertising fund are required for Company Stores and traditional Franchise Stores and are generally based on a percent of store sales. The Company has control of the advertising fund. The fund is consolidated and the Company reports all assets and liabilities of the fund that it consolidates.

The advertising fund assets, consisting primarily of cash received from the Company and franchisees and accounts receivable from franchisees, can only be used for selected purposes and are considered restricted. The advertising fund liabilities represent the corresponding obligation arising from the receipts of the marketing program. In accordance with ASC Topic 952-605-25, the receipts from the franchisees are recorded as a liability against which specified advertising costs are charged. The Company does not reflect franchisee contributions to the fund in its consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows. Advertising fund assets as of December 28, 2010 include cash of $0.3 million, which is recorded in restricted cash, and $0.5 million of receivables from franchisees, which is recorded in receivables on the consolidated balance sheet. Advertising fund liabilities as of December 28, 2010 of $0.9 million are reported in other accrued expenses and accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheet. There were no advertising fund assets or advertising fund liabilities as of December 29, 2009.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(continued)

FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 2010, DECEMBER 29, 2009

AND DECEMBER 30, 2008

Advertising Costs—Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were $7.8 million, $5.9 million and $8.6 million in fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively, and are classified as store operating expenses. The Company received advertising contributions from its franchisees, which contributions were recorded as an offset to advertising expense, and were $1.9 million, $1.3 million and $1.6 million for fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively.

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

Comprehensive Income—Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events, excluding changes resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. Comprehensive income (loss) equals net income (loss) for all periods presented.

Income Taxes— Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities due to a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In establishing deferred income tax assets and liabilities, we make judgments and interpretations based on enacted tax laws and published tax guidance applicable to our operations. We record deferred tax assets and liabilities and evaluate the need for valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts more likely than not of being realized. Changes in our valuation of the deferred tax assets or changes in the income tax provision may affect our annual effective income tax rate.

Uncertain tax positions are recognized as the greatest amount more than 50% likely of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the position. On a quarterly basis, we review and update our inventory of tax positions as necessary to add any new uncertain tax positions taken, or to remove previously identified uncertain positions that have been adequately resolved. Additionally, uncertain positions may be re-measured as warranted by changes in facts or law. Accounting for uncertain tax positions requires significant judgments, including estimating the amount, timing and likelihood of ultimate settlement. Although we believe that these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company classifies interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share—Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted-average of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities, which includes preferred stock outstanding from the Company’s issuance of preferred stock, outstanding warrants and outstanding options and restricted stock awards granted under the Company’s stock option plans. Anti-dilutive shares of 31.3 million, 20.5 million and 21.8 million have been excluded from diluted weighted-average shares outstanding in fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively. The Company’s basic weighted-average shares outstanding are equal to its diluted weighted-average shares outstanding since the Company experienced a net loss in each of fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008.

For purposes of determining the net loss attributable to common stock used in the computation of loss per share, the amount of the loss was increased by the preferred stock dividends and deemed dividends. The deemed dividend represents the accretion of the issuance cost and beneficial conversion feature of the Company’s preferred stock.

FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 2010, DECEMBER 29, 2009

AND DECEMBER 30, 2008

Share-based compensation—The Company measures and recognizes all share-based compensation under the fair value method.

Stock options for a fixed number of shares are granted to certain employees and directors with an exercise price based on the grant date fair value of the Company’s common stock. The Company also grants restricted stock with a fair value determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant (see Note 14). Stock options and restricted stock generally vest over a four-year period. Share-based compensation expense is recognized ratably over the service period.

The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. These restricted stock units vest and become unrestricted three years after the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense is recognized ratably over the three-year service period for restricted stock units.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments—The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value.

In fiscal 2008, pursuant to the Financing Agreement (see Note 13), the Company issued two million shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) with certain registration rights, and entered into a Common Stock Put and Call Agreement with the Lenders (the “Put and Call Agreement”) during fiscal 2008. The Shares were classified as equity and recorded at fair value of $1.9 million. The Put and Call Rights were considered legally and separately detachable as they were contractually distinct from the common stock, are not embedded within the common stock shares and were considered a freestanding instrument.

Segment Reporting—The Company has one reportable retail segment.

2. ACQUISITIONS

Fiscal 2008 Acquisition of Joint Venture Partnership

Pursuant to an Unit Purchase Agreement dated December 16, 2008, between the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Jamba Juice Company and JJC Florida LLC (“JJC Florida”), the Company purchased the remaining 65% in JJC Florida that the Company did not already own resulting in the acquisition of 13 stores in the Florida geographic region from JJC Florida. The agreement called for the purchase of all the assets, property, and business of JJC Florida related to the operation of its 13 stores. JJC Florida had entered into a joint venture with the Company to develop the Florida market.

The right to develop additional stores expired on June 28, 2005 when the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Management Agreement with JJC Florida. Under this Management Agreement, the Company managed and operated the stores owned by JJC Florida and used Company employees. Under the terms of the Third Amendment to Agreements dated June 28, 2005, JJC Florida’s right to build additional stores in Florida was voided and exclusivity was terminated. The Company had the right to purchase all of the remaining interest in JJC Florida commencing on October 1, 2008 and for 90 days thereafter. In anticipation of this right, the Company and JJC Florida agreed to the purchase and sale transaction on December 16, 2008. Total consideration for the agreement was $1.5 million and an additional $0.2 million in credit for reimbursement of amounts owed to JJC Florida. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method and resulted in goodwill of $0.6 million, which was fully impaired at December 29, 2008.

The purchase price allocation for JJC Florida was as follows (in thousands):


Property, fixtures and equipment, net	$	334
Other current assets		877
Other intangible assets, net		(97	)
Other accrued expenses		(55	)
Goodwill		623

Total consideration	$	1,682

3. AREA DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Jamba Juice Company, has entered into multi-unit license agreements with area developers to develop stores in certain geographic regions. Under typical multi-unit license agreements, the area developer generally pays one-half of the initial nonrefundable fee multiplied by each store to be developed as a nonrefundable development fee upon execution of the multi-unit license agreement. The agreements are generally for a term of 10 years. Each time a store is opened under the multi-unit license agreement, the Company credits the franchisee one-half of the initial fee paid as part of the development fee and

JAMBA, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(continued)

FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 2010, DECEMBER 29, 2009

AND DECEMBER 30, 2008

the franchisee is required to pay the remaining one-half of the initial fee. As of December 28, 2010, 32 stores are operating under a current multi-unit license agreement. This area developer completed its development obligations under its agreements during fiscal 2010. In addition, the Company has and will continue to enter into development agreements in connection with its refranchising and international franchising initiatives. In connection with its refranchising efforts through fiscal 2010, five new area developers have contractual commitments to open thirty two Franchise Stores over the next two to seven years. In connection with our international efforts during fiscal 2010, one developer in Korea has a contractual commitment to build 200 stores over the next 10 years.

The Company generally executes franchise agreements for each store that establishes the terms of its arrangement with the franchisee. The franchise agreements typically require the franchisee to pay an initial, non-refundable fee and continuing fees based upon a percentage of sales. Subject to the Company’s approval and the franchisee’s payment of a renewal fee, a franchisee may generally renew the franchise agreement upon its expiration.

Franchise revenue consists of royalties and fees from our franchisees. The Company recognizes initial fees received from a franchisee as revenue when it has performed substantially all initial services required by the franchise agreement, which is generally upon the opening of a store. The Company recognizes continuing royalties based upon a percentage of franchisee revenues as earned. The Company is not required to contribute capital as part of multi-unit license agreements or franchise agreements.

Deferred franchise revenue is included in Other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and as of December 28, 2010 and December 29, 2009 and includes $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, relating to non-refundable development fees and initial fees paid by franchisees whose stores have not yet opened.

9. IMPAIRMENT, STORE LEASE TERMINATION AND CLOSURE COSTS AND WORKFORCE REDUCTION

Long-lived asset impairment

The Company reviews its entire store portfolio on a quarterly basis. The review includes an analysis of each store’s past and present operating performance combined with projected future results. Impairment charges include the write-down of long-lived assets at stores that were assessed for impairment because of management’s intention to close the store or because of changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company recorded impairment charges of $2.8 million, $12.6 million and $27.8 million for fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively.

Store lease termination and closure costs and workforce reduction

As a result of the Company’s revitalization efforts and revised development goals, the Company evaluated the infrastructure needed to support its evolving business model and restructured its Support Center to eliminate certain administrative positions. During fiscal 2008, the Company eliminated 71 positions, closed 31 underperforming Company Stores prior to the normal expiration of their lease term and canceled the opening of 13 stores under development. As a result of these actions, the Company incurred $10.0 million in charges related to asset write-offs for operating Company Stores and sites under development and lease termination related costs and $2.2 million in severance charges, respectively. In fiscal 2010, the Company closed nine underperforming Company Stores prior to the lease expiration. During fiscal 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred $4.3 million and $1.2 million in charges related to asset write-offs for lease termination and closure costs.

Lease termination costs consist primarily of the costs of future obligations related to closed store locations. Discounted liabilities for future lease costs and the fair value of related subleases of closed locations are recorded when the stores are closed. These amounts are subject to adjustments as liabilities are settled. In assessing the discounted liabilities for future costs of obligations related to closed stores, the Company made assumptions regarding amounts of future subleases. If these assumptions or their related estimates change in the future, the Company may be required to record additional exit costs or reduce exit costs previously recorded. Exit costs recorded for each of the periods presented include the effect of such changes in estimates. Severance accruals were paid during fiscal 2010 and 2009. Lease obligations are payable through 2019, less sublease amounts.

The following is a reconciliation of the store closure and severance accrual and is included in Other accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities (in thousands):

Upon exercise of this right, the Preferred Stock will be converted at the then-applicable conversion rate and the Company will be obligated to pay any then-existing dividend arrearages in cash.

The Preferred Stock has an 8% dividend, payable quarterly in cash, which accrues irrespective of whether dividends are actually declared or paid. The dividend rate shall increase to 10% in the event the Common Stock is not listed for trading on any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Market or the American Stock Exchange or if the Company fails to declare and pay, in full and in cash, dividends on shares of the Preferred Stock for three consecutive quarters until such time as the dividends are paid in full and in cash. After seven years from the date the shares of Preferred Stock are originally issued, the holders of such shares will have the right to require the Company to redeem their shares of Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at a price per share equal to the original sale price per share plus any unpaid but accrued dividends. The Company has also granted the purchasers of the shares of Preferred Stock certain pre-emptive rights with respect to the sale and issuance by the Company of equity securities, as delineated in the Purchase Agreement. If the Company fails to declare and pay, in full and in cash, dividends on shares of the Preferred Stock for three consecutive quarters, the size of the board of directors of the Company (“Board”) shall be increased by one member and the holders of the Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be entitled to elect one additional member to the Board until such time as the dividends are paid in full and in cash.

The holders of the shares of Preferred Stock have the right to vote on any matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company and are entitled to cast that number of votes equal to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such holders’ shares of Preferred Stock at the then-applicable conversion price.

AND DECEMBER 30, 2008

On September 11, 2008, the Company entered into a financing agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with Victory Park Management, LLC, as agent, and its affiliated funds as lenders (“Lenders”) whereby the Lenders purchased $25 million two-year senior secured term notes from the Company (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes were secured by a first priority lien on all current and future assets of the Company, with certain exceptions. Interest rate on the Senior Notes was at 6-month LIBOR plus 8%, subject to a floor of 12.5% per annum (if the LIBOR rate was not available, interest would accrue at the Prime Rate plus 7%, subject to a floor of 12.5% per annum), with interest payable monthly in arrears, and a $375,000 make-whole interest payment to the extent the Senior Notes continued to be outstanding after 15 months. The Company had the right to prepay the Senior Notes with payment of the principle, accrued interest and, if the prepayment is after the first anniversary of the closing, the make-whole interest payment. As the likelihood of the make-whole interest payment was minimal, no value for this feature was recorded.

The Senior Notes were subject to acceleration and certain mandatory prepayment events set forth in the Financing Agreement. In connection with this Financing Agreement, the Company incurred approximately $0.9 million in loan origination fees and $0.3 million in legal fees. The Company made a $500,000 deposit on possible prepayment to the Lenders at closing, payable with the proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes. This amount, which is classified in other long-term assets, represented a deposit of any possible prepayment should certain generating events occur that were not in the ordinary course of the Company’s business.

Pursuant to the Financing Agreement, on September 11, 2008, the Company issued to the Lenders two million shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) with certain registration rights, and entered into a Common Stock Put and Call Agreement with the Lenders (the “Put and Call Agreement”). Under the terms of the Put and Call Agreement, the Lenders had a put right requiring the Company to repurchase the Shares at a price of $1.50 per share after the earlier of the first anniversary of the closing date, the payment in full of the Senior Notes or the occurrence of certain events of default under the Financing Agreement or certain other events (the “Put Right”). The Put Right expired under certain circumstances, including if the average daily trading price for the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market for 20 of 30 business days after the first anniversary of the closing date was greater than $1.50 per share, with average daily trading volume during such period of at least 250,000 shares, or the Lenders’ sale of the Shares to an unaffiliated third party. Under the terms of the Put and Call Agreement, the Company had a call right requiring the Lenders to sell the Shares to the Company at $1.50 per share before the earlier of the first anniversary of the closing date, the payment in full of the Senior Notes or the occurrence of certain events of default under the Financing Agreement (the “Call Right”).

The two million shares were classified as equity and recorded at fair value of $1.9 million. The Put and Call Rights were considered legally and separately detachable as they were contractually distinct from the common stock, were not embedded within the common stock shares and are considered a freestanding instrument. The Put and Call Rights had been recorded as a liability based on its fair value of $0.7 million and was marked-to-market on a quarterly basis.

As a result of the Company’s preferred stock offering, the Company repaid its note payable and financing agreement on June 16, 2009. The Put Right was exercised by the Lenders and the Company repurchased the Shares. These shares were subsequently canceled by the Company. The prepayment penalties and write-off of prepaid loan fees and transaction costs in connection with the payoff of the Senior Notes was recorded in interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

14. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Options—The Company maintains three share-based compensation plans (collectively, the “Plans”). The Company’s 2006 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan (the “2006 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s stockholders on November 28, 2006. An amendment to the 2006 Plan was approved by the stockholders on May 20, 2010. The 2006 Plan provides for the granting of up to eight million shares of common stock in the form of nonqualified and incentive stock options, stock grants or other stock-based awards to employees, nonemployee directors and consultants. In addition, in December 2008, the Company also granted stock options as an inducement grant outside of the Company’s existing equity plans to its President and Chief Executive Officer. Under the 2006 Plan, shares available for grant were 3,207,453 as of December 28, 2010.

In connection with the Merger with Jamba Juice Company, the Company assumed the outstanding options under the Jamba Juice Company 1994 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1994 Plan”) and the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2001 Plan”), which provided for granting nonqualified and incentive stock options to employees, nonemployee directors and consultants. No additional grants are available under the 2001 Plan and the 1994 Plan.

Options granted under the 2006 Plan have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Options granted in 2006 under the 2006 Plan have an exercise price equal to the average of the closing price of the Company’s common stock for five trading days, consisting of the two days immediately following the date of grant, the day of the grant, and two days immediately before the date of grant. Options under the 2001 Plan and 1994 Plan were granted at an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the common stock at the date of the grant, are exercisable for up to 10 years, and vest annually on grant date over a four year period. Options outstanding under the 1994 Plan and the 2001 Plan became fully vested in 2010.

In December 2008, the Company granted an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of stock options to its new President and Chief Executive Officer, resulting in an increase in the number of shares issued under stock option awards outstanding. This award was granted as an inducement grant outside of the Company’s existing equity plans and has a three-year vesting period.

The fair value of options granted was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Option valuation models, including Black-Scholes, require the input of highly subjective assumptions, and changes in the assumptions used can materially affect the grant date fair value of an award. These assumptions include the risk-free rate of interest, expected dividend yield, expected volatility, and the expected life of the award. The risk-free rate of interest is based on the zero coupon U.S. Treasury rates appropriate for the expected term of the award. For expected life we apply the guidance provided by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110. Expected dividends are zero based on history of not paying cash dividends on the Company’s common stock. Expected volatility is based on a 75/25 blend of historic daily stock price observations of the Company’s common stock since its inception and historic daily stock price observations of the Company’s peers during the period immediately preceding the share-based award grant that is equal in length to the award’s expected term. As required by authoritative guidance, estimated forfeitures are included as a part of the grant date estimate. The Company uses historical data to estimate expected employee behaviors related to option exercises and forfeitures. There is currently no market-based mechanism or other practical application to verify the reliability and accuracy of the estimates stemming from these valuation models or assumptions, nor is there a means to compare and adjust the estimates to actual values, except for annual adjustments to reflect actual forfeitures.

FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 2010, DECEMBER 29, 2009

AND DECEMBER 30, 2008

The weighted-average fair value of options granted in fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 was $2.27 and $0.61, respectively. At December 28, 2010, 4,945 stock options are expected to vest over the next three years. The remaining expense to amortize is approximately $0.9 million at December 28, 2010.

Share-based compensation expense was $1.1 million, $1.3 million, and $4.2 million for fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009, and fiscal 2008, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. No income tax benefit was recorded in fiscal 2010, 2009 and fiscal 2008.

Restricted Stock—During the fiscal year ended December 29, 2009, the Company issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”) as permitted under the 2006 Plan. RSUs are charged against the 2006 Plan share reserve on the basis of one share for each unit granted. The fair value of RSUs is determined based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. These RSUs vest and become unrestricted 33.3% on the first anniversary of the grant date and 33.3% per year thereafter. Share-based compensation expense is recognized ratably over the three-year service period for RSUs. The remaining expense to amortize is approximately $0.1 million at December 28, 2010.

Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the carrying values of the Company’s assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their corresponding income tax bases. The temporary differences give rise to either a deferred tax asset or liability in the financial statements that is computed by applying current statutory tax rates to taxable and deductible temporary differences based upon the classification (i.e., current or noncurrent) of the asset or liability in the financial statements that relates to the particular temporary difference. Deferred taxes related to differences that are not attributable to a specific asset or liability are classified in accordance with the future period in which they are expected to reverse and be recognized for income tax purposes. The deferred tax asset (liability) consisted of the following temporary differences as of December 28, 2010, and December 29, 2009 (in thousands):


	December 28, 2010			December 29, 2009

Tax benefit of net operating losses, temporary differences and credit carryforwards are recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses that these items are “more likely than not” to be realized. Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the

JAMBA, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(continued)

FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 2010, DECEMBER 29, 2009

AND DECEMBER 30, 2008

carryforward period. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when it is “more likely than not” that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Because of the Company’s recent history of operating losses, management believes the recognition of the deferred tax assets arising from the above-mentioned future tax benefits is currently not likely to be realized and, accordingly, has provided a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance has been recorded for the net deferred tax assets at December 28, 2010, which increases the valuation allowance by $6.8 million for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2010. A deferred tax asset of $40,000 remains due to the impact that an uncertain tax position liability has on deferred taxes.

At December 28, 2010 the Company has federal and state net operating loss carryovers of $97.8 million and $110.8 million, respectively, which, if not used earlier, will expire between 2017 and 2031. In addition, the Company also has tax credit carryforwards for federal and state purposes of $.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively, which do not expire.

The amount of our taxable income for tax years ending after our ownership change which may be offset by net operating loss carryovers from pre-change years will be subject to an annual limitation, known as a section 382 limitation. We have not yet ascertained the approximate amount of our section 382 limitation, whether we have net unrealized built-in gains or net unrealized built-in losses, the effect on the section 382 limitation of any potential future recognition of net unrealized built-in gains or any net unrealized built-in losses during the 5-year period beginning on the ownership change, and whether any net operating losses are likely to expire unused due to the 20 taxable year net operating loss carry forward period.

Changes in the Company’s reserve for uncertain tax positions are as follows (in thousands):


	Fiscal Year Ended December 28, 2010		Fiscal Year Ended December 29, 2009
Beginning balance	$	1,115	$	1,512
Increases attributable to tax positions taken during prior periods		210		—
Increases attributable to tax positions taken during current periods		—		—
Decreases resulting from lapse of applicable statutes of limitations		—		(397	)

Ending balance	$	1,325	$	1,115

The reserve for uncertain tax positions was $1.3 million and $1.1 million as of December 28, 2010 and December 29, 2009 and is included in other long-term liabilities. If recognized, $23,000 of the reserve would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. This balance is the Company’s best estimate of potential liability for uncertain tax positions and includes accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. Inherent uncertainties exist in estimates of tax contingencies due to changes in tax law, both legislated and concluded through the various jurisdictions’ tax court systems. As of December 28, 2010, approximately $1.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits are expected to reverse in the next twelve months due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.

As of December 28, 2010, the Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for the tax years ended June 27, 2006 and November 28, 2006 for the subsidiary returns and the tax years ended December 31,

2006 through December 29, 2009 for the consolidated return. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has completed its examinations of the subsidiary’s federal income tax return for the tax years ended June 29, 2004 and June 28, 2005. The Company is also subject to state and local income tax examinations for tax returns filed for the years ended June 29, 2004 through December 29,2009.

16. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company measures its cash equivalents at fair value. There is no difference between the fair value and cost of the Company’s cash equivalents. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

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

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

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

The following table presents financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 28, 2010 and December 29, 2009 by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):


	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

⁽²⁾	Included in property, fixtures and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheet.

For assets that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, fair value is the published market price per unit multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. The Company invested cash in money market funds and active exchange funds of $1.8 million and $2.8 million as of December 28, 2010 and December 29, 2009, respectively.

Assets held for sale consists of Company Stores that the Company expects to refranchise. Such assets are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on the purchase price in the asset purchase agreement.

17. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Company maintains a voluntary defined contribution plan covering all eligible employees. Eligible employees may elect to defer and contribute a percentage of their compensation to the plan, not to exceed the dollar amount set by law. During fiscal 2010, the Company matched employees’ contributions on a discretionary basis, resulting in a contribution of $0.1 million. In prior years, the Company matched 100% of the first 3%, and 50% for the 4% and 5% of an employees’ contributions resulting in contribution for fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008 of $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

18. OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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

Two putative class action lawsuits, brought on behalf of former employees, are pending against the Company. These lawsuits, brought in 2009 and 2010, respectively, allege the Company failed to comply with various California labor laws. In August 2010, after engaging in settlement negotiations, the Company reached

JAMBA, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(continued)

FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 2010, DECEMBER 29, 2009

AND DECEMBER 30, 2008

settlements for two of the lawsuits, each on a California statewide basis. The settlements have been memorialized and approved by the respective courts. The settlements do not include any admission of wrongdoing by the Company. There is no assurance that the terms of the settlements negotiated between the respective parties will be memorialized into definitive settlement agreements, or that the courts will approve of the settlement terms agreed to among the respective parties. However, the Company has established an accrual based on the expected amount the Company will pay under the settlements. The Company is a defendant in other litigation arising in the normal course of business. Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate disposition of these matters, it is the opinion of the Company’s management, based upon the information available at this time, that the expected outcome of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, liquidity or financial condition of the Company.

Other—The Company has purchase obligations with certain suppliers for certain fruits and dairy for various terms typically ranging from one year to five years. The Company has one contract with a supplier for a 15 year term that ends in 2024. These contracts are commitments to purchase a minimum level of fruit and other items used in the production of the Company’s products totaling $116.5 million.

19. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company paid $0.2 million and $0.1 million in fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, respectively, to Mistral Capital Management, LLC for monitoring fees pursuant to the securities purchase agreement for the sale of its Series B Preferred Stock. Mistral Capital Management, LLC serves as an investment manager to certain funds who hold shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock. Two members of the Company’s Board of Directors, Andrew R. Heyer and Beth L. Bronner, hold positions as general partner and Managing Director, respectively, of Mistral Capital Management, LLC.

Under an agreement with its Florida joint venture, the Company was reimbursed for incurring employee expenses related to managing and operating certain Florida stores. These reimbursements totaled $2.5 million in fiscal 2008. There were no reimbursements after December 2008, when the Company exercised its right to acquire all of the remaining interest in JJC Florida.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as the Company’s controls are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the risk related to controls and procedures.

In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as of December 28, 2010, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 28, 2010. These conclusions were communicated to the Audit Committee.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2010. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, our CEO and CFO concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 28, 2010 based on the criteria set forth by COSO in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This report appears below.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Jamba, Inc.:

We have audited Jamba, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Jamba, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Jamba, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 28, 2010 and December 29, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the fiscal years ended December 28, 2010, December 29, 2009 and December 30, 2008, and our report dated March 14, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
