PART I

ITEM 1.  

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview and Description of business

On July 14, 2006 (the "Closing Date"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement"), among the Company (formerly known as Simplagene USA, Inc., a public shell company with nominal assets), SMPG Merco Co., Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("Merco"), New Colorado Prime Holdings, Inc., a privately owned Delaware corporation ("NCPH"), and Craig Laughlin ("Laughlin"), the Company acquired, through a merger (the "Merger") of Merco with and into NCPH, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of NCPH (the "NCPH Capital Stock"). Upon completion of this transaction, the former NCPH shareholders and NCPH's financial advisor acquired approximately 93.5% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of $0.001 par value common stock. This transaction constituted a change in control of the Company. In connection with the change of control, Paul A. Roman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of NCPH, became Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Thomas McNeill, Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and a director of NCPH, became Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and a director of the Company, and Richard Gray, a director of NCPH, became a director of the Registrant. Craig Laughlin was the Company's sole officer and director prior to this transaction and resigned at the time the transaction was consummated. Mr. Laughlin was also the Company's majority stockholder immediately prior to the Closing Date.

NCPH is a Delaware corporation established in 2001 and owns 100% of Colorado Prime Corporation, a company originally established in 1959 to provide in-home "restaurant quality" beef shopping services throughout the United States. During 2005, NCPH established the Dinewise® brand to serve this market by attracting new customers through multi-channel media which includes catalogues, e-commerce and strategic alliances, as well as existing customer referrals. Dinewise® is a direct-to-consumer gourmet home meal replacement provider. Dinewise® targets lifestyle profiles, i.e. busy moms, singles, retirees, seniors, and working couples, as well as health profiles including diabetic, heart smart, low carbohydrate, low calorie, and weight loss. The Company has positioned its Dinewise® brand as the solution for time-constrained but discerning consumers focused on satisfying every member of the family by offering a broad array of the highest quality meal planning, delivery, and preparation services. Products are customized meal solutions, delivered fresh-frozen directly to the home. Using the efficiency, exposure and reach of the Internet and other direct marketing channels, Dinewise® capitalizes on consumers' emerging need for convenient, simple, customized solutions for home meal planning and preparation that satisfies the consumers' health and lifestyle needs with ready-to-eat, ready-to-heat, or ready-to-assemble hot or cold meals or entrees.

The July 14, 2006 acquisition of NCPH by the Company effected a change in control and was accounted for as a "reverse acquisition" whereby NCPH is the accounting acquirer for financial statement purposes. Accordingly, for all periods subsequent to July 14, 2006, the financial statements of the Company reflect the historical financial statements of NCPH since its inception and the operations of SimplaGene USA, Inc. subsequent to July 14, 2006.

On September 8, 2006, the stockholders of SimplaGene USA, Inc., upon the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors, approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Dinewise, Inc.

NCPH has been recognized as a leader in the Home Meal Replacement market for consumers nationwide.  We are a leading multi-channel direct to consumer retailer of branded, prepared, premium quality frozen proteins (such as beef, chicken, pork and fish), meals, soups, appetizers and deserts. We market through multiple channels, including direct mail, catalog, print, public relations, e-retailing and through our inbound, outbound call center.  

Prior to its reorganization in 2003, NCPH had a direct sales force in approximately 33 states with 55 offices.    Due to a rapid over-expansion of the core business and other non-core business activities, the Company experienced financial difficulties leading to a strategic reorganization in 2003.  To generate cash to fund its operations and to repay its then principal lenders, the Company sold its accounts receivable at a significant discount.  In addition, the Company restructured its operations and closed down its direct to consumer sales and telemarketing operations which included closing all offices outside of its corporate office, and all distribution routes.  The Company terminated approximately 930 employees nationally.  These actions allowed the Company to satisfy all its outstanding obligations under its then-existing credit facility.

Under its new business model, the Company no longer participates in the collection of its accounts receivable, a function that remains outsourced to Shoppers Charge Accounts Co., a division of TD Banknorth.  In addition the Company can receive customer payments by use of any major credit card.  Over the last two years, the Company has (i) returned to its core competency of providing a quality, value-added product, (ii) restructured its operating business to improve cash flow by emphasizing expense control, eliminating overhead, closing offices, and exiting non-core businesses, and (iii) re-established and expanded its marketing channels.

To capitalize on changing consumer lifestyles and trends, the Company recognized a market opportunity to reposition its business through a prepared meals product offering that would satisfy the increasing demands of a time constrained population.  As a result, during 2005 the Dinewise® brand was created to serve this market by attracting new customers through multi-channel media which includes catalogues, e-commerce and strategic alliances, as well as existing customer referrals.  Dinewise® is a direct-to-consumer gourmet home meal replacement provider. Dinewise® targets lifestyle profiles, i.e. busy moms, singles, retirees, seniors, and working couples, as well as health profiles including diabetic, heart smart, low carbohydrate, low calorie, and weight loss. The Company has positioned its Dinewise® brand as the solution for time-constrained but discerning consumers focused on satisfying every member of the family by offering a broad array of the highest quality meal planning, delivery, and preparation services. Products are customized meal solutions, delivered fresh-frozen directly to the home.  Using the efficiency, exposure and reach of the Internet and other direct marketing channels, Dinewise® capitalizes on consumers’ emerging need for convenient, simple, customized solutions for home meal planning and preparation that satisfies the consumers’ health and lifestyle needs with ready-to-eat, ready-to-heat, or ready-to-assemble hot or cold meals or entrees.

The Company has identified the diet market as an opportunity to mirror its premium frozen prepared meals and its meal planning services.  Trained nutritional consultants are available to answer questions, custom design, and recommend a meal plan to help each customer achieve their individualized or family taste preferences.  Our website, www.dinewise.com, provides customers the flexibility of ordering products 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  Customers can either choose from our gourmet prepared food meals in pre-set packages ranging from $199 - $499, or customize their orders to their own particular preferences.  We ship orders directly to our customers in 48 states through our contracted third-party fulfillment providers.  

We are also a direct marketer of gourmet prime cut proteins such as filet mignon, rack of lamb, rib roast, chicken cordon bleu, jumbo shrimp, tuna steaks and lobster tails.  Our products are flash frozen in waste free, safe, and portion- controlled packaging.   We also offer hors d’oeuvres, desserts and other complementary items, such as our “kitchen indispensable” housewares line.  We have grown our offerings from just beef to an assortment of approximately 125 prime cut proteins, 225 assorted vegetables, soups, appetizers, desserts and other meal accents.  In addition, with our new branded proprietary Dinewise® product line, we have expanded our offerings to include approximately 100 gourmet prepared meals and meal complements, with approximately 5,000 various meal combinations.

Product Development

In addition to an advisory board consisting of an executive chef, a nutritionist and a registered dietician, DineWise® leverages the expertise of leading third party food developers with proven commercial success.  These relationships support the ongoing development of nutritionally correct products that meet the ongoing dieting and healthy eating needs of the consumer, as well as high quality gourmet and fine dining products. Areas of future product development



3




 


include organic and ethnic food offerings.  All of our foods are evaluated for nutrition and compliance with our programs, using taste test panels.  We continually evaluate the latest technologies in microwave packaging, and the improvements in taste and preparation are constantly being monitored. Further, we engage consulting firms and work directly with packaging vendors to evaluate and test the latest developments. We are working with the latest functional food and ingredients that replace fat and salt and improve the nutritional value of our food and continue to evaluate new products world-wide for import, private label or exclusive distribution.

Distribution Methods

Consumers can place orders twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, via a toll-free call or the Internet, and charge their orders to any major credit card, or with a Company-offered credit program.  The Company’s outsourced supply and fulfillment vendors ship directly to the consumer’s home (or other designated shipping address) within 48 states from their state-of-the-art fulfillment centers.  Coolers are shipped with dry ice to insure that contents arrive frozen at the customer’s convenience, and provide attractive, branded, private label express delivery to the consumer’s home within two-to-three days of placing their order.

Growth Strategy

Our strategy for Dinewise® is to become the leading direct-to-consumer provider of upscale home meal replacement solutions by delivering superior customer satisfaction in terms of taste, nutritional content, variety and convenience, while significantly reducing customer acquisition costs and generating attractive profit margins. Initiatives to accomplish this objective center on the Company’s core competencies of customer shopping convenience, meal planning, sourcing gourmet food products, home delivery of perishable foods, and high reorder customer satisfaction trends. Further, the Company intends to expedite this organic growth through potential acquisitions of companies with strategic products, distribution channels, Internet reach, or prepared product manufacturers.

Using the efficiency, exposure and reach of the Internet and other proven direct marketing channels, the Company will strive to capitalize on consumers’ growing need for convenient, customized solutions that satisfy their health and lifestyle needs with ready-to-eat, ready-to-heat, or ready-to-assemble hot or cold meals or entrees.

To address its growth opportunities the Company has positioned its brand, Dinewise®, as the solution for time-constrained but discerning consumers focused on satisfying every member of the family by offering a broad array of the highest quality prepared meals, along with value added services like meal planning, one stop shopping and preparation services, as well as nutritional consultation. Products are customized meal solutions, delivered fresh-frozen directly to the home. Along with the tag line of “rethink meals”, Dinewise® communicates the Company’s broad offering and brand positioning, and speaks to the markets the Company has targeted.

The future growth of Dinewise® is expected to be generated from more effective customer acquisition, retention, and use of prospect databases.  The Company expects to generate new revenue streams by providing several channels to purchase products without a large purchase commitment.  The Company’s marketing objective is to appreciably increase its user base, while significantly reducing customer acquisition costs generating attractive profit margins.

The Company has identified a gap in the diet market and believes premium, fully prepared, fresh frozen foods will be a competitive advantage.  Trained nutritional consultants are available to answer questions, custom design, and recommend a meal plan to help each customer achieve their individualized or family taste preferences.  We have launched a weight management system in the first quarter of 2007.  The Dinewise® Diet Plan is based on portion-controlled, premium prepared, frozen meals. Our plan consists of complete prepared meals and prepared a la carte portions that are designed to be low calorie, low fat, contain complex carbohydrates and low sodium. Customers are able to choose one of our pre-set food packages or customize their order. To promote our brand, we expect to market our weight management system through multiple media channels, which may include television, print, direct mail, Internet and public relations.

Other areas of growth include gifting, both personal and business to business, corporate wellness plans and expanded product lines to include organic, vegetarian, ethnic, kids and seniors market with a value priced variety of monthly plans.

Markets

U.S. consumers spend $1 trillion per year on food consumption (according to the U.S. Bureau of Statistics) and are increasingly seeking fresh, quick, convenient and healthy ways to prepare meals at home as a result of heightened



4




 


concern over personal wellness. Providers of fresh prepared foods (supermarkets and restaurants) respond to this need by providing nutritious products that require reduced meal preparation time. A study by the NPD Group, a provider of global sales and marketing data, found that 70% of consumers do not plan dinner until dinnertime, causing more people to choose convenient meal solutions.  Our long-term product development and marketing plans are based on our belief that over time individuals and corporations are becoming more aware of the negative health and financial consequences of being overweight and, therefore, will focus not only on weight loss but also on healthy weight maintenance.

The Company has a multi-channel reach with few demographic restrictions, currently marketing in 48 contiguous U.S. states.

Currently, Dinewise® targets the high end of the Home Meal Replacement / Direct To Consumer food market.  This “mass affluent” group includes twenty three million households with incomes of $75,000 or more. Fast food chains such as SUBWAY serve the “mass-market” segment of HMR.   

The Company’s primary targets are (i) dual income families with children (ii) busy professionals, (iii) time-starved couples and individuals who appreciate fine cuisine, and (iv) those seeking quick, easy, quality foods and prepared meals. Dinewise ® also targets niche markets such as (i) diabetics and their families, (ii) health conscious, (iii) branded diet followers, and (iv) temporarily and permanently homebound consumers and their caregivers.  A secondary target is gifting—both personal and corporate which is a natural extension of the Company’s focus.

Targeted consumers represent a proven market for home meal replacement and direct-to-consumer marketing as they (i) value convenience and variety, (ii) are concerned with portion size, (iii) have a high interest in caloric and nutritional content, and (iv) represent a significant portion of the population with the purchasing power to provide a strong volume base for Dinewise ®. These targeted groups, which include single urban professionals, empty nesters, and caregivers to the elderly, can readily access Dinewise ® products through convenient online or offline access.

Sales & Marketing

2005 was focused on investing in the Dinewise® brand and beta testing.  In the second quarter of 2006 we re-launched the brand.  During 2007 and into 2008 we continue to refine the brand, products, and customer base creation and retention. The Company has initial plans to partner with circulation and content rich partners on a variable cost basis, helping control expenses. Along with this business development relationship or “storefront”, the Company has additionally initiated both on and offline traditional media and promotional strategies.

Ÿ

Online Advertising – The Company’s online advertising strategy includes the use of keyword search terms, natural search and search engine optimization, email newsletters and target emails primarily to its own or partners’ email database.  The Company also places online banner advertising through affiliate programs that compensate advertisers on a cost-per-customer acquired basis.

Ÿ

Offline Advertising – Offline advertising is used to encourage qualified customers to either call a certified nutritionist or access the Company’s website increasing online or telephone availability awareness.  Once properly capitalized, the Company expects to reach its target audience through a combination of direct response television, print and catalog requests, as well as “ride along” supplemental advertising.

Our in-house call centers enable us to retain greater control of the quality, timeliness and cost of fulfilling product orders over other marketers who outsource fulfillment services to unrelated contractors. Through our toll-free numbers, customers place orders, request catalogs or make merchandise and order inquiries. Customers generally have access to real-time product availability information and are able to select a desired receipt date at the time of order. Our experienced customer service representatives are an integral part of our business.  We hire, train and retain customer-friendly customer service agents to answer telephone and email inquiries, to offer online customer service and to provide prompt attention and helpful information in response to our customers’ inquiries. In addition, to provide our callers access to our customer service agents quickly as well as 24/7, we have extended our call center to an outsourced company during the end of 2006.  Our representatives are knowledgeable about our products and are encouraged to upsell additional complementary products.    

In 2006 we have initiated a cross marketing campaign to our Colorado Prime Foods customers with our new branded Dinewise® product line.  And as new Dinewise® customers are acquired, we will also be able to offer the wide array of frozen unprepared products and meal complements as well.  Given the Company’s wide customer base and direct to consumer reach, it has no financial reliance on any one customer.



5




 


Suppliers

Currently, the Company’s order fulfillment is handled by two contracted outsourced providers.  In order to meet our high quality standards for product creation and development, current fulfillment providers are directed to purchase from approximately 85 vendors. They, then assemble, pick, pack, and fulfill orders for final delivery by FedEx ground or air from orders that are received online, by phone or mail, and digitally transmitted through the Company’s order fulfillment software.

Competition

In the Direct To Consumer/ Home Meal Replacement market our competition is limited to a few small competitors and some larger companies such as Omaha Steaks and Schwanns, which have significantly greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources than the Company. We believe, however, there is no company that offers the breadth, depth and customization of products and services that we do for both the DTC/HMR and diet markets.

In the Direct To Consumer weight loss food product market the competition is limited to a few small companies, as well as Jenny Craig, e-Diets, NutriSystem and Zone Chef.

We believe our competitive advantage is a superior consumer value proposition that is inclusive of both premium, non-dietary products, as well as premium diet / healthy offerings.  Our customers may choose from a large selection of fresh frozen meals and meal components that allow them to dine without the pressure of refrigerated shelf life exposure.  The Company’s premium offering is a higher quality than usually found competitively.  We also believe our competitive strength is customization based on individual or family requirements and preferences, along with portion-control that adds to an excellent customer value proposition.

Our core competencies include:

Ÿ

Quality – Dinewise® offers gourmet, restaurant-quality meals to the individual or family. Working with product development specialists Dana McCauley & Associates and a nutritionist, Dinewise® is continually developing nutritionally sound products that meet the ongoing dieting and healthy eating needs of the consumer.

Ÿ

Choice – The Company offers over 5,000 gourmet meal combinations through its unique mix-and-match automated ordering system.  In addition to these meal plans, the Company offers premium desserts, appetizers and soups, giving the Company the ability to market to singles, busy couples with children, seniors, diabetics, as well as diet conscious consumers.    

Ÿ

Convenience – Phone, Internet, live chat, catalogue, person-to-person, whichever venue a customer prefers, is available to place an order.  Once delivered, the fresh frozen aspect of the program allows the consumer to eat the food when they want, they do not have to worry about spoilage and the entrees are always at their peak freshness.  

Ÿ

Safety – As food safety is always important, Dinewise® products are sourced from a “food chain insured” supervisory umbrella of all agency protocols.  All products are flash frozen to maintain their flavor, vitamins and overall color and consistency.  Flash freezing provides for a longer shelf life and is generally viewed as a superior process versus traditional freezing techniques.

Based upon the above factors, we believe we can compete effectively in the Direct To Consumer/Home Meal Replacement and diet markets.  We, however, have no control over how successful competitors will be in addressing these factors.

Employees

As of March 17, 2008, the Company had 16 employees; 10 in sales, marketing and customer service, 4 in finance, administration, information systems and operations, and 2 executive officers.    None of our employees are represented by a labor union, and we consider relations with our employees to be good.

ITEM 6.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

(Dollar amounts are in thousands, except share and per share data)

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This management discussion and analysis is based on our consolidated financial statements which are prepared using certain critical accounting policies that require management to make judgments and estimates that are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty.  While we believe that these accounting policies, and management's judgments and estimates, are reasonable, actual future events can and often do result in outcomes that can be materially different from management's current judgments and estimates.  We believe that the accounting policies and related matters described in the paragraphs below are those that depend most heavily on management's judgments and estimates.

Fiscal Year

Our fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in December.  Our fiscal 2007 year consisted of the fifty-two week period which began on January 1, 2007 and ended on December 30, 2007; our 2006 fiscal year consisted of the fifty-three week period which began on December 26, 2005 and ended on December 31, 2006.  

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from product sales when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable (evidenced by written sales orders), (ii) delivery of the product has occurred, and (iii) collectibility of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.  Shipping and handling expenses of $1,190 and $1,468 are included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.  Although we accept product returns, historical returns have been insignificant.  The Company records its revenue net of any sales taxes collected on its sales, which are subsequently remitted to the local tax office, as required.  We have sold separately-priced warranty arrangements covering certain durable goods.  In accordance with



8




 


Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Technical Bulletin No.  90-1, “Accounting for Separately Priced Extended Warranty and Product Maintenance Contracts” revenue on these warranty arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the warranty service period, which is typically thirty-six months.  Costs associated with these warranty arrangements are recognized as they are incurred.  As of April 2003, we no longer offer these warranty arrangements.  As of December 30, 2007 we no longer have deferred revenue outstanding related to the unearned portion of the above described separately priced warranties.  The balance of deferred revenue, effective December 30, 2007, consists principally of advance billings for customer food orders.  For the years ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, revenues related to warranty arrangements were $0 and $105, respectively.

With respect to product sales, we recognize revenue on a gross basis, using the criteria outlined in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (“EITF”) No. 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent , net of provisions for discounts and allowances.  Our product sales are collected utilizing major credit cards, prior to the sale of the DineWise branded products, or are collected within three days of delivery of other product sales.  All product sales are final and we have a “no return” policy. However, in limited instances, due to product quality or delivery delays, we may replace the product or issue a credit to the customer.

Impairment of Fixed Assets and Intangibles

We determine the recoverability of our long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.  144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”  Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group.  If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group.  Management believes there is no impairment of any long-lived assets as of December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Income Taxes

We account for our income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  Under SFAS No. 109, 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 bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  Due to the uncertainty of future earnings, all deferred tax assets are fully reserved for.

Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109," which establishes that the financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return are to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

We adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 and it had no material impact on our financial statements. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, as part of our provision for income taxes in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return as well as unitary income and sales tax returns in several state jurisdictions, of which New York, North Carolina and California are the most significant. The Internal Revenue Service has completed examinations of our federal returns for taxable years prior to 1993.  We are currently being examined by the state of North Carolina for the taxable years 2003 through 2005.

Debt Discount and Derivative Liability

As a result of the Company entering into a Subscription Agreement on July 14, 2006 with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LP and Dutchess Private Equities Fund, II, LP (collectively, the "Investors") pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Investors an aggregate of $2,500 of Five-Year Convertible Debentures (the "Convertible Debentures") and warrants to purchase 5,050,505 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $.495 per share (the  "Warrants"), the Company has identified certain embedded derivatives within the Convertible Debentures.  The value of

these embedded derivatives were $1,200 at July 14, 2006.    On February 16, 2007, the Company issued and sold to one of its existing investors, Dutchess Private Equities Fund, Ltd. (“Dutchess”), a $1,750 principal amount Convertible Debenture due March 31, 2009 (the”Debenture”) and a warrant to purchase 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.  The Company has identified certain embedded derivatives within the Debenture.  The value of these embedded derivatives was $477 at February 16, 2007.  These amounts were bifurcated from the Convertible Debentures and Debenture on the face of the balance sheet and a corresponding derivative liability was established.  These debt discounts will be amortized over their respective lives, using the effective interest method, and charged to interest expense until fully amortized in July 2011 and March 2009, respectively.  As of December 30, 2007 the unamortized debt discount was $1,240.  In the event the Convertible Debentures or Debentures are reduced in full or in part, either by Company prepayments or by conversion into common shares by the Investors, the debt discount related to the amount reduced will be immediately recognized as interest expense and charged to operations.  In addition, the change in the valuation of the embedded derivatives for the years ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 resulted in income (expense) of $1,311 and ($138), respectively, and was reflected in interest expense.  The valuation of the embedded derivatives for the conversion features was calculated using a binomial model, utilizing the Company’s stock price of $.05 per share and $.29 per share as of December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.  The value of the Warrants were calculated using the Black Scholes model with a volatility of 57% and 66%, a discount rate of 3.26% and 4.70% and an expected life of 3.5 and 4.5 years for the years ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.  Forfeiture and dividend rates were 0% for the years ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.  In all future periods, the change in the valuation of the derivative liabilities will continue to be recognized as interest expense or income and charged to operations accordingly.  

Results of Operations

Revenues and expenses consist primarily of the following components:

Revenues.

Revenues consist primarily of food sales.  Food sales include sales of prime cut proteins (such as beef, chicken, pork and fish) and assorted vegetables, soups, appetizers, desserts and other meal accents, as well as gourmet, prepared meals and prepared meal complements.  Included in revenues are shipping and handling charges billed to customers and sales credits and adjustments, including product returns.  Although we accept product returns, historical returns have been insignificant.  Also included in revenues are sales of durable goods such as cutlery, cookware and appliances and deferred service revenues related to warranty arrangements covering certain durable goods.  We follow FASB Technical Bulletin No. 90-1, “Accounting for Separately Priced Extended Warranty and Product Maintenance Contracts.”  Revenue related to these warranty arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the warranty service period.  As of December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 we no longer have deferred revenue outstanding related to the unearned portion of the above described separately priced warranties.   Costs associated with these arrangements are expensed as incurred.  As of April 2003, we no longer offer warranty arrangements.

Cost of Goods Sold.

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of the cost of the food and durable products sold and the costs of outside fulfillment of food orders.

Operating Expenses.

Operating expenses consist of compensation for sales, marketing, delivery, administrative, information technology, customer service personnel, advertising, marketing and promotional expenses, shipping and handling expenses, facility expenses, website development costs, professional service fees and other general corporate expenses.

Interest Expense (Income), Net.

Consists of interest expense paid on the Company’s convertible debt outstanding, amortization of debt discount, and the change in the value of the embedded derivative liability for the period, net of any interest income earned on cash balances and marketable securities.  

Income Taxes.

We are subject to corporate level income taxes and record a provision for income taxes based on an estimated effective tax rate for the year.

Year Ended December 30, 2007 Compared To Year Ended December 31, 2006

Revenue

Revenue decreased to $10,636 for the year ended December 30, 2007 as compared to $10,944 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The decline in revenue of $308, or 3%, resulted primarily from a reduction in direct telemarketing food sales which was substantially offset by new branded sales with the Company’s focus on customer creation and marketing on the DineWise® branded product line.  In addition, in 2003, we stopped offering warranty arrangements and as a result, 2006 was the final year in which service income was recognized.  Revenues related to these arrangements were recognized over the life of the contract, generally 36 months.  As a result, service revenues related to warranty arrangements were $0 in 2007 as compared to $105 in 2006.  Direct telemarketing food sales were $7,163 in 2007 as compared to $8,957 in 2006 and houseware sales were $735 in 2007 as compared to $815 in 2006.  New customer sales from our DineWise® branded product line were $2,738 in 2007 as compared to $1,067 in 2006.  This increase of $1,671 or 57% is the result of a second quarter 2006 relaunch of the DineWise® brand, inclusive of its increased catalog mailing and e-tailing initiatives.  The Company expects to continue focusing its marketing investments on this brand utilizing a multi-channel marketing approach, inclusive of web advertising and search engine optimization, as well as catalog circulations, as it strives to continue improving its DineWise® sales and brand awareness.  However, until such time as the needed capital to continue to execute its marketing plan is secured, we will focus only on those channels that deliver the highest response rates and incremental profits, thus substantially reducing both marketing expenses and short-term sales growth opportunities.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold decreased $513 to $5,097 for the year ended December 30, 2007 as compared to $5,610 for the prior year period.  Gross profit as a percent of revenue increased to 52.1% in 2007 as compared to 48.7% in 2006.  This improvement is primarily the result of a shift of sales to the Company’s higher margin DineWise® branded products which represented approximately 26% of sales in 2007 as compared to 10% in 2006.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses decreased $1,539 to $6,976 in 2007 as compared to $8,515 in 2006.  The decrease was primarily the result of $1,205 in one time charges in conjunction with the closing of the reverse acquisition on July 14, 2006, which included an expense to consultants for the issuance of 2,250,000 shares of common stock, as well as incurring other transaction costs of $755.  Other decreases achieved were the result of a change in estimate in accounting for sales taxes of $209 and lower delivery expenses of $278 ($1,190 in 2007 and $1,468 in 2006), primarily related to shipping efficiencies achieved, reductions in professional fees of $372 ($335 in 2007 and $707 in 2006) primarily for services rendered in connection with the Company’s reverse acquisition consummated on July 14, 2006, reductions in employee and employee related costs of approximately $317, offset, in part by, increased marketing expenses on our Dinewise® branded products of $358 ($1,903 in 2007 and $1,545 in 2006), increased investor relations awareness and merger and acquisition consulting of $336 ($345 in 2007 and $9 in 2006), and increased stock compensation expense of $166 ($188 in 2007 and $22 in 2006).

Interest Expense

Interest (income) expense, net was ($332) and $323 for the year ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.  This is the result of interest expense of $463 and $120, in the respective periods, incurred on our $2,500 Convertible Debentures and $1,750 Debentures issued in July 2006 and February 2007 with an interest rate of 10% and 14% per annum, respectively, offset in part by interest income of $35 and $38.  In addition, the Company incurred amortization expense in the amount of $372 and $65, in the respective periods, as a result of amortizing the debt discount, and mark to market (income) expense of ($1,311) and $138 as a result of the (decrease) increase in the value of the embedded derivative liability for the period. In addition, the Company amortized $179 and $38 in finance costs associated with our Convertible Debentures and Warrants.  These amortization expenses will continue to be amortized each quarter over the five-year and two-year lives of the Convertible Debentures and Debentures, respectively.  In the event there is a conversion or prepayment of all or a portion of this debt, the Company will recognize immediately the unamortized deferred finance costs and debt discount expense related to the conversions or prepayments.  As of December 30, 2007 the unamortized portion of the deferred finance costs and debt discount were $368 and $1,240, respectively.

Income Taxes

In 2007 and 2006 we recorded income tax expenses of $8 and $5, respectively, which is comprised principally of state franchise taxes.  We have provided and continue to provide for a full valuation allowance against our deferred income tax assets.  The valuation allowance is subject to adjustment based upon our ongoing assessment of our future income and may be wholly or partially reversed in the future.

Net Loss

For the year ended December 30, 2007, net loss was $1,113 as compared to net loss of $3,509 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The decrease in the net loss in 2007 was primarily due to the one time costs of the reverse acquisition on July 14, 2006, 2007 mark to market income as a result of a decrease in the value of the embedded derivative liability for the period, income from a change in estimate in accounting for sales taxes, and other expense reductions, as well as improvements in gross profit margins, offset by increased marketing expenses on our new DineWise® brand, increased interest expense related to our Convertible Debentures and Debentures, and other increased consulting and investor relations initiatives.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

As of December 30, 2007, our principal commitments consisted of an obligation under an operating lease in connection with office space for our corporate headquarters, interest payments on our $2,500 Convertible Debentures issued on July 14, 2006, interest and principal payments on our $1,750 Debentures issued on February 16, 2007 and capital lease obligations.  Although we have no material commitments for capital expenditures, we anticipate continuing requirements for capital expenditures consistent with anticipated growth in operations, infrastructure and personnel.  Following is a summary of our contractual obligations.  We have no other commercial commitments.

Future minimum operating lease payments, adjusted for a lease amendment, as of July 1, 2007, interest payments on our $2,500 Convertible Debentures at 10% per annum, interest and principal payments on our $1,750 Debentures at 14% per annum, both assuming no conversion to common stock or prepayments, and capital lease obligations, including interest, are as follows (in thousands):

The Convertible Debentures do not require the Company to make principal payments, and in the event an amount is outstanding at the end of the term on July 14, 2011, it will automatically convert into common shares of the Company.  Other than the above commitments, and employment agreements with its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, there were no items that significantly impacted our commitments and contingencies.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 30, 2007, we had a cash balance of $429 compared to a cash balance of $816 at December 31, 2006.  Our principal source of cash is the financing of accounts receivable through a third party financial institution whereby substantially all receivables generated from sales to customers are submitted for collection, without recourse.  Generally payments, net of financing fees of approximately 3%, are received within 3-5 business days from the date of submission.  We had working capital deficits at December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 of $2,301 and $1,510, respectively.  Included in our accrued expenses at December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are net restructuring charges of $1,051 and $1,151, respectively.  In connection with these accrued charges, we may, from time to time, be in negotiations with vendors to pay reduced amounts which could result in forgiveness of debt income.  On July 14, 2006, we engaged in a financing transaction with Dutchess Private Equity Fund, LP and Dutchess Private Equities Fund II, LP (collectively, “Dutchess”) pursuant to which the Company sold $2,500 Convertible Debentures, with interest at the rate of 10% per annum, and warrants to purchase 5,050,505 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.495 per share

to Dutchess.  On February 16, 2007, the Company issued and sold to one of its existing investors, Dutchess, a $1,750 principal amount Debenture due March 31, 2009 and a warrant to purchase 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.   The Company pays monthly interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture at a rate per annum equal to 14%.   The Company will pay the remaining balance on the outstanding Debenture as of December 30, 2007 in monthly principal payments on the last business day of each month in the following amounts: (i) on January 31, 2008 and one consecutive month thereafter, $20; (ii) on March 31, 2008 and for five consecutive months thereafter, $35; (iii) on September 30, 2008 and for five consecutive months thereafter, $70; and (iv) on March 31, 2009, all amounts then due and payable under the Debenture. The Company may prepay the Debenture at any time from time to time without penalty and any future financing must first be utilized to repay the then outstanding balance on the Debenture, if any.  The Debenture is convertible at any time, at the option of Dutchess, into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) 75% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock during the 10 trading days immediately prior to the date that Dutchess sends the Company a signed conversion notice; or (ii) $0.51 per share.  In September 2007 and during the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company took actions to reduce expenses by eliminating both operating costs, including employee reductions, as well as reducing the current marketing spend on customer acquisition.  On March 17, 2008, the Company, amended its February 16, 2007 Debenture (“Debenture”) and its February 16, 2007 Warrant (“Warrant”) issued by the Company to Dutchess Private Equities Fund, Ltd (“Dutchess”).  The material changes are as follows:  

1) The maturity date is extended from March 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010.

2) The interest rate per annum on the Debenture shall increase from 14% to 15% per annum on October 1, 2008, and shall increase to 16% per annum on April 1, 2009.

3) Monthly principal payments on the Debenture have been restructured as follows:

4) Under the terms of the amendment, if at the end of any of the Company’s quarter end periods as filed with the SEC, the Company has cash deposits in any accounts, whether bank, brokerage or other accounts (“Bank Balance(s)”), that exceeds $750, the Company shall pay to Dutchess twenty percent (20%) of such amounts in excess of $750 but below $2,250; upon such time as the Company has in excess of $2,250 as a Bank Balance, the Company shall pay to Dutchess one hundred percent (100%) of such amounts in excess of $2,250.

Prior to the amendment, upon such time as the Company had in excess of $2,250 as a Bank Balance, the Company was required to pay to Dutchess one hundred percent (100%) of such amounts in excess of $2,250.

5) As of the date of this Addendum, two million Warrants (2,000,000) have fully vested and the remaining two million (2,000,000) unvested Warrants shall expire.  

 In addition, the Company issued to Dutchess one million two hundred and forty thousand (1,240,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  

Until such time as additional capital is raised to accelerate its marketing plan, the Company will focus only on those channels that deliver the highest response rates and incremental profits, thus substantially reducing both marketing expenses and short-term sales growth opportunities.  By executing these cost reductions to substantially reduce our quarterly losses, amending the Debenture as noted above which we anticipate will substantially improve the Company’s cash position during the upcoming year, and with the Company’s cash balances and its past experience to raise capital to fund its operations we believe that we have the resources to meet our obligations as they become due over the next twelve months.  While we are in process of raising additional capital to allow operations to continue at existing levels, and then further accelerate our marketing spend after such funding is attained, there is no assurance we will be able to raise the required capital.  In the event it takes longer to obtain appropriate funding, or we are unable to obtain such funding, we may need to significantly curtail additional expenses.  At December 30, 2007 we had $4,026 in convertible



13




 


debt outstanding, gross of debt discount.  During the year ended December 30, 2007 convertible debt in the amount of $99 was converted to common stock.  We currently have no off -balance sheet financing arrangements.  

For the year ended December 30, 2007, cash used in operations was $1,985, as compared to cash used in operations of $2,946 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  This was primarily attributable to a net loss for the period, adjusted for non-cash items of ($1,555), increases in inventory of $32, increased deferred finance costs of $210, decreased accrued expenses of $62, increased accounts receivable of $38, decreased income taxes payable of $245, offset, in part by, increased deferred revenue of $88, decreases in prepaid expenses and other assets of $42 and by increased accounts payable of $27.  Our operations are organized to have a cash-to-cash cycle of approximately 30 days.  This is accomplished by paying for inventory to outsourced vendors just prior to shipment to the customer, and maintaining certain levels of inventory on our branded products, and financing the accounts receivable from a third party financial institution or use of major credit card carriers.  

For the year ended December 30, 2007 the Company made investments in property and equipment in the amount of  $14 related primarily for computer hardware.

For the year ended December 30, 2007 the Company received $1,750 from the issuance of convertible debt, made principal repayments of $125, and it made payments under its capital lease in the amount of $13.

We have not declared or paid any dividends for the year ended December 30, 2007 and we are currently restricted from paying dividends according to the financing agreements entered into on July 14, 2006 and February 16, 2007.  While we had accumulated accrued preferred stock dividends in the amount of $17,900 at June 25, 2006, the obligation to pay accrued and ongoing dividends terminated on July 14, 2006 in connection with the reverse acquisition of the Registrant, pursuant to which our preferred stock was converted into common stock of the Company.  The declaration and payment of dividends in the future will be determined by our Board of Directors in light of conditions then existing, including our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.

ITEM 8.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On July 14, 2006, as a direct result of the reverse acquisition then completed the Company decided to hire, as its principal independent registered public accountants, BDO Seidman, LLP which had been the independent auditors for NCHP since the year ended December 28, 2003. Accordingly, S.W. Hatfield, CPA ("Hatfield") was dismissed effective July 21, 2006.

The reports of Hatfield on the Registrant's financial statements for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2004 and August 31, 2005 did not contain any adverse opinion, or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended August 31, 2004 and August 31, 2005 and the review for the subsequent interim periods, (a) there were no disagreements with Hatfield on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Hatfield, would have caused Hatfield to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report, and (b) there were no "reportable events" as the term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-B.

ITEM 8A(T).

Dinewise, Inc. has no formal audit committee. However, as defined in Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the entire Board of Directors acts as Dinewise, Inc.’s audit committee.

In discharging its oversight responsibility as to the audit process, the Board obtained from the independent accountants a formal written statement describing all relationships between the accountants and Dinewise, Inc. that might bear on their independence as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees.” The Board discussed with the accountants any relationships that may impact their objectivity and independence, and satisfied itself as to the accountants’ independence. The Board also discussed with management and Dinewise, Inc.’s independent accountants the quality and adequacy of Dinewise, Inc.’s internal controls.

The Board discussed and reviewed with the independent accountants all matters required to be discussed by auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, including those described in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, “Communication with Audit Committees”.

The Board reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements of Dinewise, Inc. as of and for the years ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, with management and the independent accountants. Management has the sole ultimate responsibility for the preparation of Dinewise, Inc.’s financial statements and the independent accountants have the responsibility for their audits of those statements.

Based on the above-mentioned review and discussions with the independent accountants and management, the Board of Directors approved Dinewise Inc.’s audited financial statements and recommended that they be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 30, 2007 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Dinewise, Inc.’s principal accountant, BDO Seidman, LLP did not engage any other persons or firms other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

The Board of Directors pre-approves all work performed by the Company's accountants and considers whether non-audit services provided by BDO Seidman, LLP, if any, are compatible with maintaining auditor independence.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

DineWise, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DineWise, Inc. (formerly Simplagene USA, Inc.) and Subsidiaries as of December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DineWise, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


As discussed in the summary of significant accounting policies, in 2006 the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R)  “Share Based Payments”, utilizing the modified prospective transition method effective December 26, 2005.

Dinewise, Inc.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

NOTE 1.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DineWise, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”).  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in December.  The Company’s 2007 fiscal year consisted of the fifty-two week period beginning on January 1, 2007 and ending on December 30, 2007.  The Company’s 2006 fiscal year consisted of the fifty-three week period beginning on December 26, 2005 and ending on December 31, 2006.  

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales, when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable (evidenced by written sales orders), (ii) delivery of the product has occurred, and (iii) collectibility of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.  Shipping and handling expenses of $1,190 and $1,468 are included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.  Although the Company accepts product returns, historical returns have been insignificant.

The Company has sold separately-priced warranty arrangements covering certain durable goods. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Technical Bulletin No. 90-1, “Accounting for Separately Priced Extended Warranty and Product Maintenance Contracts” , revenue on these warranty arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the warranty service period, which is typically thirty-six months. Costs associated with these warranty arrangements are recognized as they are incurred.  As of April 2003, the Company no longer offers these warranty arrangements.  As of December 30, 2007, the Company no longer has deferred revenue outstanding related to the unearned portion of the above-described separately priced warranties.  The balance of deferred revenue, effective December 30, 2007, consists principally of advance billings for customer food orders.

The Company records its revenue net of any sales taxes collected on its sales, which are subsequently remitted to the local tax office, as required.

With respect to product sales, we recognize revenue on a gross basis, using the criteria outlined in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (“EITF”) No. 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent, net of provisions for discounts and allowances.  Our product sales are collected utilizing major credit cards, prior to the sale of the DineWise branded products, or are collected within three days of delivery of other product sales.  All product sales are final and we have a “no return” policy. However, in limited instances, due to product quality or delivery delays, we may replace the product or issue a credit to the customer.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include only securities having a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. At December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, demand accounts and money market accounts comprised all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents.

Due from Financial Institution

The Company submits substantially all accounts receivable to a third party financial institution for collection, without recourse.  Payment is generally received from this financial institution within three business days.  The financial institution holds in escrow approximately 3% of the net receivables that have been submitted by the Company and not collected.  This escrow is evaluated by the financial institution on a quarterly basis.   

Inventories

Inventories consist principally of prepared meals and meal complements held at its outsourced fulfillment locations. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.  



F-7




 


Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or, in the case of leasehold improvements, the lesser of the life of the related leases or the life of the improvement.

Costs of internal use software are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1 (“SOP 98-1”), “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use” and Emerging Issue Task Force No. 00-02 (“EITF 00-02”),  “Accounting for Website Development Costs.”  SOP 98-1 and EITF 00-02 require that the Company expense computer software and website development costs as they are incurred during the preliminary project stage.  Once the capitalization criteria of SOP 98-1 and EITF 00-02 have been met, external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use software, including website development, are capitalized.  Capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the software’s estimated useful life, estimated at three years.  Capitalized internal use software and website development costs are included in property, plant and equipment, net, in the accompanying balance sheets.

Estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

 

Machines and office equipment

 

5 to 8 years

Capitalized software and development

 

3 years


Long-Lived Assets

The Company determines the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” . Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. Management believes there is no impairment of any long-lived assets as of December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Marketing costs

Marketing costs are included as part of operating expenses and include direct-mail catalog costs, internet based advertising, marketing and promotional expenses and payroll-related expenses for personnel engaged in these activities.  Direct-mail catalog costs are initially recorded as prepaid expenses and charged to operations as marketing expense during the period in which future benefits are expected to be received.  Typically, this period falls within 45 days of the direct mailing.  All other advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred or the first time the advertising takes place.

Debt Discount and Derivative Liability

As a result of the Company entering into a Subscription Agreement on July 14, 2006 with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LP and Dutchess Private Equities Fund, II, LP (collectively, the "Investors") pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Investors an aggregate of $2,500 of Five-Year Convertible Debentures (the "Convertible Debentures") and warrants to purchase 5,050,505 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $.495 per share (the  "Warrants"), the Company has identified certain embedded derivatives within the Convertible Debentures.  The value of these embedded derivatives were $1,200 at July 14, 2006.    On February 16, 2007, the Company issued and sold to one of its existing investors, Dutchess Private Equities Fund, Ltd. (“Dutchess”), a $1,750 principal amount Convertible Debenture due March 31, 2009 (the”Debenture”) and a warrant to purchase 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.  The Company has identified certain embedded derivatives within the Debenture.  The value of these embedded derivatives was $477 at February 16, 2007.  These amounts were bifurcated from the Convertible Debentures and Debenture on the face of the balance sheet and a corresponding derivative liability was established.  These debt discounts will be amortized over their respective lives, using the effective interest method, and charged to interest expense until fully amortized in July 2011 and March 2009, respectively.  As of December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 the unamortized debt discount was $1,240 and $1,135, respectively.  In the event the Convertible Debentures or Debentures are reduced in full or in part, either by Company prepayments or by conversion into common shares by the Investors, the debt discount related to the amount reduced



F-8




 


will be immediately recognized as interest expense and charged to operations.  In addition, the change in the valuation of the embedded derivatives for the years ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 resulted in income (expense) of $1,311 and ($138), respectively, and was reflected in interest expense.  The valuation of the embedded derivatives for the conversion features was calculated using a binomial model, utilizing the Company’s stock price of $.05 per share and $.29 per share as of December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.  The value of the Warrants were calculated using the Black Scholes model with a volatility of 57% and 66%, a discount rate of 3.26% and 4.70% and an expected life of 3.5 and 4.5 years  for the years ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.  Forfeiture and dividend rates were 0% for the years ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.  In all future periods, the change in the valuation of the derivative liabilities will continue to be recognized as interest expense or income and charged to operations accordingly.  

Amortization of Deferred Finance Costs

As a result of the Company’s $2,500 Convertible Debenture financing completed on July 14, 2006, and its $1,750 Convertible Debenture financing completed on February 16, 2007, it incurred deferred finance charges of $375 and $210, respectively.  These amounts are being amortized monthly, as a charge to interest expense, over the 5-year and 2-year terms of the Convertible Debentures, respectively.  For the years ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, amortization expense was $179 and $37, respectively.  In the event the Convertible Debentures or Debentures are reduced in full or in part, either by Company prepayments or by conversion into common shares by the Investors, the deferred finance charges related to the amount reduced will be immediately recognized as interest expense.  As of December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, unamortized deferred finance charges were $368 and $338, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under SFAS No. 109, 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 bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  Due to the uncertainty of future earnings, all deferred tax assets are fully reserved for.

Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109," which establishes that the financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return are to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

We adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 and it had no material impact on our financial statements. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, as part of our provision for income taxes in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return as well as unitary income and sales tax returns in several state jurisdictions, of which New York, North Carolina and California are the most significant. The Internal Revenue Service has completed examinations of our federal returns for taxable years prior to 1993.  We are currently being examined by the state of North Carolina for the taxable years 2003 through 2005.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.



F-9




 


Restructuring Costs

The Company accounts for restructuring costs pursuant to FASB Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities ("FAS 146"). Under FAS 146, a liability is recognized when the costs are incurred and such costs are initially recorded at fair value.

Concentration Risk

The Company purchased approximately 68% and 83% of its food products from one vendor during the years ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The Company is not obligated to purchase from this vendor, and, if necessary, there are other vendors from which the Company can purchase food products.  

All of the Company’s receivables are due from one financial institution (TD Banknorth, Inc.) under an agreement in which the Company receives payment on its receivables within 3-5 business days.  The Company has had no losses on collections in the past, and since this institution is deemed financially sound, there is little, if any, collection risk at this time.

Stock Based Compensation

SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment” addresses all forms of share-based payment awards, including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. It requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees, but expresses no preference for a type of valuation model. The statement eliminates the intrinsic value-based method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, and related interpretation, that the Company had previously used. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123R effective December 26, 2005 (the beginning of its 2006 fiscal year) using the modified prospective method. The Company adopted a nonqualified stock option plan on November 13, 2006 (see footnote 10).  There were no options granted prior to 2006. In the year ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, as a result of the adoption of SFAS No.123R, the Company recorded share-based compensation for options attributable to employees, officers, directors and consultants of $188 and $23, respectively.  

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 applies under other previously issued accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements but does not require any new fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with the exception of all non-financial assets and liabilities, except those items recognized or disclosed at fair value on an annual or more frequently recurring basis, which will be effective for years beginning after November 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of FAS 157 on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations,” and Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.” FAS No. 141 (revised 2007) requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. This standard also requires the fair value measurement of certain other assets and liabilities related to the acquisition such as contingencies. FAS 141 (revised 2007) applies prospectively to business combinations and is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact that FAS 141 (revised 2007) will have on our accounting for past and future acquisitions and our consolidated financial statements.

Statement No. 160 requires that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Consolidated net income should include the net income for both the parent and the noncontrolling interest with disclosure of both amounts on the consolidated statement of income. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. The presentation provisions of FAS 160 are to be applied retrospectively, and FAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact that FAS 160 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 110, or "SAB No. 110," which expresses the views of the staff regarding the use of a "simplified" method, as discussed in SAB No. 107, in developing an estimate of the expected term of "plain vanilla" stock options in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (R). SAB No. 110 allows for the



F-10




 


continued use, under certain circumstances, of the "simplified" method in developing an estimate of the expected term of so-called "plain vanilla" stock options, and we will continue to use such method until such time as there is sufficient historical evidence on which we can base an estimate of the expected term of our stock options.

Reclassification

Certain items in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

NOTE 2.

THE COMPANY AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

On July 14, 2006 (the "Closing Date"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement"), among Simplagene USA, Inc., SMPG Merco Co., Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Simplagene USA, Inc. ("Merco"), New Colorado Prime Holdings, Inc., a privately owned Delaware corporation ("NCPH"), and Craig Laughlin ("Laughlin"), Simplagene USA, Inc. acquired, through a merger (the "Merger") of Merco with and into NCPH, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of NCPH (the "NCPH Capital Stock"). Upon completion of this transaction, the former NCPH shareholders and NCPH's financial advisor acquired approximately 93.5% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of $0.001 par value common stock. This transaction constituted a change in control of the Company.  In connection with the change of control, Paul A. Roman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of NCPH, became Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Thomas McNeill, Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and a director of NCPH, became Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and a director of the Company, and Richard Gray, a director of NCPH, became a director of the Company. Craig Laughlin was the Company's sole officer and director prior to this transaction and resigned at the time the transaction was consummated. Mr. Laughlin was also the Company's majority stockholder immediately prior to the Closing Date.

The July 14, 2006 acquisition of NCPH by SimplaGene USA, Inc. effected a change in control and was accounted for as a "reverse acquisition" whereby NCPH is the accounting acquirer for financial statement purposes. Accordingly, for all periods subsequent to July 14, 2006, the financial statements of the Company reflect the historical financial statements of NCPH since its inception and the operations of SimplaGene USA, Inc. subsequent to July 14, 2006.  

On September 8, 2006, the stockholders of SimplaGene USA, Inc., upon the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors, approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Dinewise, Inc.

NCPH is a Delaware corporation established in 2001 and owns 100% of Colorado Prime Corporation, a company originally established in 1959 to provide in-home "restaurant quality" beef shopping services throughout the United States.

PLAN OF RESTRUCTURING

To generate cash to fund the operations of the Company, and to satisfy the requirement to repay its principal lenders, the Company sold its accounts receivable at a significant discount throughout 2003.  

In addition, the Company restructured its operations to enhance short-term liquidity through cost reductions. In April, 2003, the Company closed down its direct to consumer sales and telemarketing operations. This included closing all sales offices outside of its corporate office, all telemarketing centers, and all distribution routes. Approximately 930 employees and 55 lessees were terminated pursuant to the Company's revised operating plans. The Company's present operations consist of fulfilling reorder customers through the use of an outsourced delivery agent.  Also, the Company attracts new customers through multi-channel media which include catalogues, e-commerce, strategic alliances as well as existing customer referrals.  The Company fully satisfied all outstanding borrowings under its credit facility through the proceeds from the sale of accounts receivable in July and December of 2003 with a financial institution. Accordingly, under the business model, the Company no longer participates in the collection of accounts receivable.  This is now outsourced to this financial institution as discussed in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

NOTE 8.

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Net loss per common share amounts (basic EPS) are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, excluding any potential dilution. Net loss per common share amounts assuming dilution (diluted EPS) are computed by reflecting potential dilution from the exercise of stock options and warrants, and the conversion into common stock of convertible loans. Diluted EPS for fiscal years 2007 and 2006 are the same as basic EPS, as the inclusion of the impact of any common stock equivalents outstanding during those periods would be anti-dilutive. The Company is using the amount of shares that were issued from Merco to the shareholders of NCPH for all periods presented that are prior to the Closing Date for purposes of calculating earnings per share.

Common stock equivalents not included in EPS are as follows :

 (1) At December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had a) $2,401 and $2,500, respectively, of Convertible Debentures at a conversion price at the lesser of $.495 or 80% of the best bid price in the ten days prior to conversion and b) Warrants issued to purchase 5,050,505 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $.495 per share.  The above calculation of potential shares outstanding were calculated based upon a conversion price of $.495, however this conversion price could be lower in the future with respect to the convertible debentures in whole or in part.

(2) At December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 the Company had a) $1,625 and $0, respectively of  Debentures at a conversion price at the lesser of $.51 or 75% of the best bid price in the ten days prior to conversion and b) Warrants issued to purchase 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $.25 per share.  The above calculation of potential shares outstanding was calculated based upon a conversion price of $.51 for the Debentures, however this conversion price could be lower in the future with respect to the Debentures in whole or in part.

At December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 the best bid price was $.05 and $.60, respectively, and if the Convertible Debenture or Debenture was converted based upon that price the dilution would be greater than that shown in the above table.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities, expected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Management has considered the Company's history of generating tax losses and its accumulated deficit as significant negative evidence as to the realizability of its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, at December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company has established valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets.

At December 30, 2007 the Company has net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) for federal income tax purposes of $34,449, which are available to offset future federal taxable income, if any. Such net operating losses expire from 2022 through 2027.  The utilization of these NOLs may be subject to limitations based upon past and future changes in ownership of the Company pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382.  The Company has determined that an ownership change had occurred as of July 14, 2006 (see Note 3 above “the Merger Agreement”), however, has not evaluated the applicability of this provision.  The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets to the extent that it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Due to the significant doubt as to the Company’s ability to ulitize its deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance for the full amount of the deferred tax assets has been established.  As a result of this valuation allowance there are no income tax benefits reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations to offset pre tax loss.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109," which establishes that the financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return are to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

The provisions of FIN 48 were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2007 and had no effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations upon adoption, as the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits.  The Company also evaluated its tax positions as of December 30, 2007 and reached the same conclusion.  The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.  As of January 1, 2007 and December 30, 2007, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties and has no uncertain tax positions subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities as of December 30, 2007. The Company files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return as well as unitary income and sales tax returns in several state jurisdictions, of which New York, North Carolina and California are the most significant. The Internal Revenue Service has completed examinations of the Company’s federal returns for taxable years prior to 1993.  The Company is currently being examined by the state of North Carolina for the taxable years 2003 through 2005.

NOTE 10.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

The Company has a 2006 stock option plan as approved by its Board of Directors on November 13, 2006   covering in the aggregate 7,500,000 of the Company's common shares pursuant to which officers, directors and employees of the Company and consultants to the Company are eligible to receive nonqualified stock options. The selection of



F-14




 


participants, grant of options, determination of price and other conditions relating to the exercise of options are determined by the Board of Directors, and the plan is administered by the Board of Directors.

During 2006, a total of 2,600,000 nonqualified options were granted. All options granted in 2006 were to become exercisable 50% on the first and second anniversary, respectively, of the option grant, and fully exercisable on the second anniversary of the stock option grant.   

There were no options granted in 2007.

COMMITMENTS

In March 2004, the Company re-negotiated the capital lease of its corporate headquarters located in Farmingdale, New York, converting it to an operating lease and reducing its office space.  The Company was charged a break fee of $590, with $90 paid in 2004 and the balance payable in sixty equal monthly  installments of approximately $8 commencing July 2004.  As of December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had $150 and $250 in accrued restructuring charges relating to this break fee, respectively.

NOTE  13.

CONVERTIBLE DEBT AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

On July 14, 2006  (the  "Closing Date"), the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LP and Dutchess Private Equities Fund, II, LP (collectively, the "Investors") pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Investors an aggregate of $2,500 of Five-Year Convertible Debentures (the "Convertible Debentures") which mature on July 14, 2011 and warrants to purchase 5,050,505 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $.495 per share (the  "Warrants").  The Warrants may be exercised for a period of seven years and the exercise price is subject to antidilution provisions.  $1,250 was funded immediately and the remaining $1,250 was funded on August 11, 2006, the date the Company filed a Registration Statement covering the resale of the securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission  (the  "SEC").

The Convertible Debentures bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payment of which commenced on August 1, 2006 and continues monthly thereafter.  Interest is payable in cash or shares of Common Stock at the election of the Investors.    The Investors may convert the unpaid face value of, plus the accrued interest on, the Convertible Debentures into Common Stock at any time at the lesser of (i) $.495 and  (ii)  eighty  percent (80%) of the lowest closing bid price on the Common  Stock  during  the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the receipt  by  the  Company  of  a  notice  of conversion by the Investors (the "Conversion  Price").  The Convertible Debentures do not require the Company to make principal payments, and in the event an amount is outstanding at the end of the term on July 14, 2011, it will automatically convert into common shares of the Company.

The Company is required at all times to reserve sufficient shares for full conversion of the Convertible Debentures and exercise of the Warrants.

If an event of default occurs, as defined in the Convertible Debentures, the Investors may exercise their right to increase the face amount of the Convertible Debenture by three percent (3%) as an initial penalty and by three percent  (3%) for each subsequent event of default.  In addition, the Investors may exercise their right to increase the face amount by two-and-a-half percent (2.5%) per  month  to  be  paid  as  liquidated  damages,  compounded  daily.  

Pursuant to a Security Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, by and among the Company and the Investors  (the  "Security Agreement"), the Company's obligation to repay the amounts outstanding under the Convertible Debenture is secured by a first priority security interest in the assets of the Company.  In addition, shares of Common Stock currently owned or hereafter acquired by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Marketing Officer have been pledged as security for repayment of the Debentures, which shares may be sold by the holders thereof only pursuant to Leak-Out agreements executed by each of such holders with the Investors.

On February 16, 2007, the Company issued and sold to one of its existing investors, Dutchess Private Equities Fund, Ltd. (“Dutchess”), a $1,750 principal amount Convertible Debenture due March 31, 2009 (the”Debenture”) and a warrant to purchase 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.   The Company will pay monthly interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture at a rate per annum equal to 14%, commencing from March 31, 2007, and on the last day of each calendar month thereafter until the principal amount is paid in full. Amortizing payments of interest and the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Debenture are to be made by the Company commencing from June 30, 2007 and on the last business day of each succeeding month thereafter in the following amounts: (i) on June 30, 2007 and for two consecutive months thereafter, $15; (ii) on September 30, 2007 and for five consecutive months thereafter, $20; (iii) on March 31, 2008 and for five consecutive months thereafter, $35; (iv) on September 30, 2008 and for five consecutive months thereafter, $70; and (v) on March 31, 2009, all amounts then due and payable under the Debenture. The Company may prepay the Debenture at



F-16




 


any time from time to time without penalty and any future financing must first be utilized to repay the then outstanding balance on this Debenture, if any.  The Debenture is convertible at any time, at the option of Dutchess, into shares of Common Stock at a  conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) 75% of the lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock during the 10 trading days immediately prior to the date that Dutchess sends the Company a signed conversion notice; or (ii) $0.51 per share.  

The Company has identified certain embedded derivatives within the Convertible Debentures and the Debentures as a result of the variable nature of the conversion price formula of the Convertible Debentures and the Debentures.  The value of these embedded derivatives was $1,200 at July 14, 2006, the date the Convertible Debentures were issued, and $477 on February 16, 2007, the date the Debenture was issued.  These amounts were bifurcated from the Convertible Debentures and the Debentures on the face of the balance sheet and a corresponding derivative liability was established.  This debt discount will be amortized over the life of the Convertible Debentures and the Debentures, using the effective interest method, and charged to interest expense until fully amortized in July 2011 and March 2009, respectively.  As of December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 the unamortized debt discount was $1,240 and $1,135, respectively.  In the event the Convertible Debentures or the Debentures are reduced in full or in part, either by Company prepayments or by conversion into common shares by the Investors, the debt discount related to the amount reduced will be immediately recognized as interest expense and charged to operations.  In addition, the change in the valuation of the embedded derivatives during the year ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 resulted in income (expense) of $1,311 and ($138) respectively, and was reflected in interest income (expense).  In all future periods, the change in the valuation of the derivative liabilities will continue to be recognized as interest expense or income and charged to operations accordingly.  

As of December 30, 2007 the convertible debentures outstanding are as follows:

Asset Purchase Agreement:

On February 29, 2008, the Company, entered into a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with Delightful Deliveries (“DD”), a New York corporation engaged in the marketing and selling of gourmet gift baskets, gourmet food and other products through its catalogue and on-line website marketing.  

Under the terms of the APA, the Company will acquire substantially all the assets and assume certain liabilities of DD.  Eric Lituchy, the President of DD, will be appointed President of a new division (the “Division”) of the Company which will operate the DD business and will be provided a two-year employment agreement.

The APA is expected to close on or about April 30, 2008, or such later date as is mutually agreed to, subject to certain closing conditions, including 1) the completion of the Company’s satisfactory due diligence and 2) the Company achieving adequate financing.  The Company will pay $2,450 at closing and issue a two year Convertible Subordinated Note (the “Note”) to DD in the amount of $550. The Note will be secured by the acquired assets and payable in eight equal quarterly payments of $69 plus accrued interest.  In addition, within 30 days of the completion of the Company’s audited financials for the year ending December 31, 2008, an additional amount (“Earn Out”) of up to $3,000 may be payable based upon the Division’s 2008 EBITDA.  50% of the Earn Out amount will be paid in cash and the balance by a two-year Note, bearing interest at 8% per annum.
