Introductory Comments to Item 19

• The figures below are the actual 2011 annual Gross Revenue averages for the Coffee Shops in operation during the entire 12 month period ended December 31, 2011. These figures are for the Shops operated by franchisees, the franchisor or its affiliates.

• There were 79 franchised and company-owned Shops in operation during the entire 12 month period in 2011, and the averages below include 63 out of those 79 shops. The remaining 16 shops were not included because:  the Shops were located in non-traditional sites (such as airports or convention centers) (3 Shops); the Shops are co-branded locations (3 Shops); the Shops were relocated during the 12 month period (3 Shops); the franchisor did not receive complete data (2 Shops); the Shop offered no food products (1 Shop); the Shops offered additional food products (3 Shops); and the Shop was not open the entire 12 month period due to the seasonal nature of the Shop location (1 Shop).

• The figures below are based on information that the franchisor has received from the operators for each Shop. The figures have not been audited.

• Each of the Shops included in this Financial Performance Representation features fresh-roasted coffee beans, brewed coffee, and other products offered for sale, which are substantially similar to the franchise business described in the disclosure document.

• Gross Revenues means the total actual receipts for all products and services sold by the Shop, whether or not identified by the Trademarks, whether at wholesale or retail, for cash or credit or in any other way, but excluding federal, state, municipal, or other sales, value added, or retailer’s excise taxes collected from customers and paid to the appropriate taxing authority.
